Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 14, 2018, DPW Holdings, Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Power Lending, LLC (”DPL”), entered into an agreement to organize and operate a joint venture (the “Agreement”) with QPAGOS  (“QPAGOS”) and Innovative Payment Systems, Inc. (“IPS”). In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, DPL, QPAGOS and IPS shall form a Delaware limited liability company to be called “Innovative e-Payment Solutions, LLC” for the purpose of conducting an electronic payments business in the State of California by acquiring, deploying, marketing, managing and operating a network of approximately 1,000 self-service kiosks to be purchased from QPAGOS.  DPL, QPAGOS and IPS are expected to enter into an operating agreement for Innovative e-Payment Solutions, and related agreements, on July 1, 2018 or such other date as may be mutually agreed (the “Closing Date”) whereby such parties plan to contribute to Innovative e-Payment Solutions their respective initial capital contributions as set forth therein.  For its 51% interest in Innovative e-Payment Solutions, DPL intends to contribute cash and a promissory note in the aggregate amount of $2.5 million.

In conjunction therewith, on the Closing Date, DPL and Innovative e-Payment Solutions expect to enter into a credit facility agreement whereby DPL shall provide Innovative e-Payment Solutions, subject to certain terms and conditions, including subject to DPL’s ability to obtain financing, with long-term financing to purchase and license QPAGOS self-service kiosks in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount to purchase 500 kiosks or (ii) $2,500,000.  In addition, on the Closing Date QPAGOS and Innovative e-Payment Solutions expect to enter into an exclusive supply agreement pursuant to which Innovative e-Payment Solutions shall purchase the kiosks from  QPAGOS.  Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Agreement shall terminate if the parties do not enter into the credit facility agreement and supply agreement on July 1, 2018, which is a condition of Closing. The foregoing description of the Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
