EXHIBIT 99.1
Know Labs Announces Approval to Begin Trading on the OTCQB Market
Seattle, WA – February 27, 2025 – Know Labs, Inc. (OTC: KNWN) a leading innovator in Radio Frequency Dielectric Spectroscopy (RFDS) sensor technology announced today that the Company’s common shares have been approved to quote on the OTC Markets Group Inc.’s OTCQB Venture Market (the “OTCQB”) under the ticker symbol “KNWN” effective as of the open of trading on February 26, 2025. As previously disclosed, the Company’s trading symbol has been affixed with a “D”, temporarily allotted for twenty (20) days, effective on February 19, 2025 following announcement of the reverse stock split by FINRA on February 18, 2025.
The OTCQB is recognized as an "established public market" by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is a leading market for U.S. and international companies in the entrepreneurial and development stage. To be eligible, companies must be current in their financial reporting, pass a minimum bid price test, and undergo an annual company verification and detailed certification process. The OTCQB quality standards are expected to provide increased transparency and more detail on market depth including greater disclosure of market makers as well as improved liquidity. As a verified market with efficient access to U.S. investors, OTCQB helps companies build shareholder value with the goal of enhancing liquidity and achieving a fair valuation.
OTC Markets Group Inc. provides price and liquidity information for almost 10,000 over-the-counter securities. The group's headquarters are in New York City. OTC securities are organized into three markets to inform investors of opportunities and risks: OTCQX, OTCQB, and OTCID.
About Know Labs, Inc.
Know Labs, Inc.’s platform technology uses radio frequency dielectric spectroscopy (RFDS) to direct electromagnetic energy through a substance or material to capture a unique molecular signature. The technology is designed to be able to integrate into a variety of wearable, mobile or bench-top form factors. The Company believes that this patented and patent-pending technology makes it possible to effectively identify and monitor analytes that could only previously be performed by invasive and/or expensive and time-consuming lab-based tests. Among the Company’s first expected applications of the technology will be in a product marketed as a non-invasive glucose monitor. The device is designed to provide the user with accessible and affordable real-time information on blood glucose levels. This product will require U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance prior to its introduction to the market. Other products, developed through Know Labs Technology License (“KTL”) program, may not require such prior FDA approval.
