1. Organization
 
Inventergy Global, Inc. (“Inventergy,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an intellectual property (“IP”) investment and licensing company that works with technology-leading corporations in attaining greater value from their IP assets in support of their business objectives and corporate brands. Our original monetization and licensing business was enhanced in April 2016, when the Company formed Inventergy Innovations, LLC (“Inventergy Innovations”) as a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company has two distinct business execution approaches to achieve monetization of IP:
 
Inventergy Innovations: Commercialization of a broad range of intellectual assets and innovations through which Inventergy Innovations obtains exclusive rights to IP owned by its partners, and
 
Patent Residual Interest Program (“PRIP”) (see Note 5): Monetization through enforcement of the Company’s 740 telecommunications patents (“the Patents”) being transferred to INVT SPE.
    
The Company’s two core strategies are to (1) commercialize IP by establishing partnerships with companies that have developed or acquired IP with potential applications in large, growing markets, and (2) assist the Managing Member as needed with its monetization efforts for the Patents that are being transferred to INVT SPE under the PRIP, sharing in the proceeds of such efforts after monetization costs and other contractual and priority payments are covered.
 
Inventergy, Inc. was initially organized as a Delaware limited liability company under the name Silicon Turbine Systems, LLC in January 2012. It subsequently changed its name to Inventergy, LLC in March 2012 and it was converted from a limited liability company into a Delaware corporation in February 2013. On June 6, 2014, a subsidiary of eOn Communications Corporation (“eOn”) merged with and into Inventergy, Inc. (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, eOn changed its name to “Inventergy Global, Inc.” The Company is headquartered in Campbell, California.
 
The Company operates in a single industry segment.
 
In June 2014, in conjunction with the Merger, the Company underwent a one-for-two reverse stock split. In December 2015, the Company effected a one-for-ten reverse split of its common shares. All share amounts are reflective of these splits.
