This Form 8-K Current Report is filed by Know Labs, Inc. (not USBC, Inc.) on February 18, 2025, with a signature date of February 21, 2025. The filing addresses corporate governance actions regarding a special stockholder meeting and the implementation of a reverse stock split.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on corporate structural changes rather than financial performance results.
Material Changes
- Cancellation of Special Meeting: The Board of Directors cancelled the special meeting of stockholders originally scheduled for March 7, 2025, which was intended to seek approval for a 1-for-15 reverse stock split.
- Implementation of Reverse Stock Split: The Board exercised its authority under Nevada law to effect a 1-for-40 reverse stock split without stockholder approval.
- Trading Symbol Change: Effective February 19, 2025, the company's common stock began trading on a post-split basis on the OTC Pink Market under the temporary symbol KNWND (previously KNWN).
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, management commentary on financial outlook, or specific risk factors beyond the procedural details of the stock split. The primary contingency addressed was the withdrawal of the proxy statement proposals as they were deemed no longer necessary due to the Board's direct action.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the new trading symbol KNWND and confirm the 1-for-40 split ratio on the OTC Pink Markets.
- Confirm the temporary 20-day allotment period for the new symbol ending in late February 2025.
- Review the definitive proxy statement (Schedule 14A) filed on January 17, 2025, to understand the original 1-for-15 proposal that was superseded.
- Check subsequent filings for the permanent trading symbol assignment after the 20-day temporary period.
