The Company Strengthens Balance Sheet, Takes Strides to Regaining Nasdaq Listing Compliance

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / June 6, 2024 / SOBR Safe, Inc. (NASDAQ:SOBR) ("SOBRsafe" or "the Company"), provider of next-generation transdermal alcohol detection solutions, announced today that it has received approximately $2.8 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of Warrants. Details on the transaction are below, or view the corresponding Form 8-K.

SOBRsafe has also settled its remaining debt balances through the conversion of outstanding Notes Payable into 4,358,957 shares of Common Stock.

"These are very positive developments for the future of SOBRsafe," affirmed CEO & Chairman Dave Gandini. "We have significantly strengthened our balance sheet with both this infusion of capital and elimination of $2.6 million in debt, which alleviates future cash payments. Moreover, we have increased our prospective equity balances consistent with our plan to regain the Company's Nasdaq listing compliance. We continue to build flexibility into our capital structure, and believe we are now better positioned for accelerated growth."

About SOBRsafe

Enter SOBRsafe. Our advanced transdermal (touch-based) technology detects and instantaneously reports the presence of alcohol as emitted through a user's skin - no breath, blood or urine sample is required. With a powerful backend data platform, SOBRsafe provides next generation, passive detection technology for the behavioral health, judicial and consumer markets, and for licensing and integration.

The SOBRsafe technology is commercially available for point-of-care screening (SOBRcheck) and continuous monitoring (SOBRsure). At SOBRsafe, we are creating a culture of prevention and support. To learn more, visit .
