Under the agreement, V2Tech Distributors will pay A$528K to Dotz to supply ValiDotz™ security markers and geo-specified tamper-proof stickers with encrypted QR codes to authenticate an initial order of 30 million face masks for the Australian health sector, government and retailers.

V2Tech will pay Dotz 5 per cent of the contract value within 30 days of the Agreement date. The balance will be paid upon delivery by Dotz of the quantity of ValiDotz™ security markers and encrypted QR codes needed to authenticate the 30 million masks, expected in Q4 2020.
