Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On November 28, 2023, Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) Board of Directors adopted, based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Know Labs Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy (the “Policy”) for the recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation in order to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange adopted pursuant thereto.  The Board has designated the Compensation Committee of the Board as the administrator of the Policy.

 

The Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers of the Company as defined in Rule 10D-1 in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether any such executive officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Policy, the Company may recoup from such executive officers erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

 

The foregoing description of the Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Policy, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
