On August
12, 2010, with a start date of December 1, 2010, Joseph C. Hayden, the Chief
Operating Officer of Applied Energetics, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a
Sales Plan with a brokerage firm under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Such plans allow a corporate insider to gradually
diversify holdings of his company’s common stock while minimizing any market
effects of such trades by spreading them out over an extended period of time and
eliminating any market concern that such trades were made by a person while in
possession of material nonpublic information.
Mr.
Hayden’s 10b-5-1 plan provides for sales up to a maximum of 500,000 shares of
the Company’s common stock over a 12-month period beginning on December 1, 2010,
with a minimum sales prices of $2.00 as to 300,000 of the shares, $3.00 as to an
additional 100,000 shares and $4.00 as to an additional 100,000 shares, and
commencing as to 125,000 share on each of December 1, 2010, March 1, 2011, June
1, 2011 and September 1, 2011. All sales under the 10b5-1 plans are
subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Under the plan, Mr.
Hayden represented and agreed not to make any other open market sales of the
Company’s common stock until the plan terminates.
