Know Labs Secures U.S. $12 Million Funding for Company's Further Execution on Its Clinical Research and Development Initiatives

"Lind is excited about its investment in Know Labs," said Phillip Valliere, Managing Director at The Lind Partners. "Know Labs has demonstrated success across numerous development milestones and has built a strong intellectual property foundation to attract further investment and future strategic partnerships. We are pleased to invest in Know Labs to support its growth and we look forward to working with its high-caliber management team as it moves into this next phase of development."

About the Funding Agreement

The funding provided to Know Labs by Lind will come in the form of convertible secured notes (the "Convertible Notes") that will carry an aggregate face value amount of up to $14.4 million and that will be sold to Lind for purchase prices equal to up to $12.0 million.

At the initial closing of $4.0 million, Know Labs received net proceeds of approximately U.S. $3.68 million, after fees, pursuant to a Convertible Note with a face value of $4.4 million (the "Face Value"). The Face Value of the Convertible Note issued in the initial closing will have a 24-month maturity date and can be paid, at the Company's option, in cash or through the issuance of share of the Company's common stock (the "Shares") equal to the principal amount being paid in shares divided by 90% of the average of the 3 lowest daily VWAPs during the 20 trading days prior to the applicable payment date. The Convertible Note may also be converted into Shares under certain circumstances at a fixed price per share of $1.00, representing a 50% premium to the last closing price of $0.667 per share, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Note.

In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Note, Know Labs will also issue to Lind a warrant to purchase 3,000,000 Shares, 75% warrant coverage of the funded amount (the "Warrant"). The Warrant will be exercisable for 60 months following the date that is 6 months following the initial funding date at an exercise price equal to $0.80 per share, a 20% premium to the closing price of $0.667, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Warrant.

The Company intends to file a resale registration statement covering the Shares underlying the Convertible Note and the Warrant within 30 days of the initial closing, and will seek to have it declared effective within 90 days.

Commencing 120 days after funding, Company will repay 1/20^th of the applicable Face Value, or $240,000, in monthly installments ("Repayment"). At the Company's option each month, Repayments can be made in: (i) cash plus an amount equal to 5% of the Repayment amount; (ii) common shares ("Repayment Shares"); or a combination of both. Repayment Shares will be priced at 90% of the average of the three lowest daily VWAPs during the 20 trading days before the issuance of Repayment Shares. For two monthly Repayments, Lind will have the right to increase a Repayment (in stock) up to $750,000.

The Funding is secured by assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Funding Agreement and the issuance of securities thereunder has been approved by the New York Stock Exchange American .

The Benchmark Company, LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Know Labs in connection with the funding agreement.
