Item

Year.
On
February 20, 2008, Ionatron, Inc. (the “Company”) amended its Certificate of
Incorporation through the filing of a Certificate of Ownership and Merger to
change its name to Applied Energetics, Inc. The amendment to the Certificate
of
Incorporation was effected through a merger transaction pursuant to which the
Company’s newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary Applied Energetics, Inc. was
merged with and into the Company with the Company surviving the merger and
changing its name to Applied Energetics, Inc. The name change does not affect
the rights of the stockholders of the Company. There were no other changes
to
the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of the Certificate of
Ownership and Merger, as filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February
14, 2008, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
As
a
result of the name change, the Company has also changed its ticker symbol under
which it trades common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market to NASDAQ: AERG and
on
the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board to OTCBB: AERGP.
