Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders. 

 

To the extent required by Item 3.03 of Form 8-K, the information regarding the Reverse Stock Split (as defined below) contained in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.

 

The Board of Directors of Know Labs, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a ratio of 1-for-40 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). The Company filed a Certificate of Change (the “Certificate of Change”) pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.209 with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on February 10, 2025.

 

The Reverse Stock Split was processed and announced by FINRA on February 18, 2025, and the shares of Common Stock will begin trading on a post-split basis on the OTC Pink Market under the trading symbol “KNWND”, temporarily allotted for twenty (20) days, on February 19, 2025 (the “Effective Date”).  The Company’s shares will continue to trade under the OTC allotted “KNWN” symbol following the 20 day period on the OTC Pink Market.

 

In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the CUSIP number for the Common Stock will change to 499238202.

 

Pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada, the Company’s state of incorporation, the Company’s Board of Directors has the authority to effect a reverse stock split without stockholder approval if the number of authorized shares of Common Stock and the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock are proportionally reduced.

 

Split Adjustment; Treatment of Fractional Shares

 

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, on the Effective Date, the number of shares of the Company’s authorized Common Stock will be reduced from 300,000,000 shares to 7,500,000 shares and each forty (40) shares of Common Stock outstanding will automatically combine into one (1) new share of Common Stock without any action on the part of the holders, and the number of outstanding shares Common Stock will be reduced from 112,423,912 shares to approximately 2,810,598 shares (subject to rounding of fractional shares).

 

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of the Company’s Common Stock not evenly divisible by 40 will, in lieu of a fractional share, automatically be entitled to receive an additional fractional share of the Company’s Common Stock to round up to the next whole number. The Company will issue one whole share of the post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to any stockholder who otherwise would have received a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, no fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split and no cash or other consideration will be paid in connection with any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Capitalization; Adjustment of Outstanding Securities

 

The Reverse Stock Split has no effect on the par value of the Company’s Common Stock or authorized or outstanding shares of preferred stock, and did not modify any voting rights or other terms of the Common Stock or preferred stock. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain unchanged, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from the treatment of fractional shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of Common Stock will be substantially unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split.

 

Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at brokerage firms do not need to take any action, as the effect of the Reverse Stock Split will automatically be reflected in their brokerage accounts. Stockholders holding paper certificates may (but are not required to) send the certificates to the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, Equiniti Trust Company. Equiniti Trust Company will issue a new stock certificate reflecting the Reverse Stock Split to each requesting stockholder.
