Advanced health for employees is quickly becoming an essential part of running an organization. The pandemic created a focus on health and safety in the workplace. As we move to a post-pandemic world, many organizations are faced with a need to look at long term employee health as a part of their operations. A tight labor market with a shortage of workers has put employers in a position where they need to focus on retaining employees while finding innovative ways to attract new talent. This is happening at the same time that individual health needs are catching up after 2 years of pandemic management.

Today, companies are increasingly seeking find ways to mitigate what is expected to be a decade of demanding employee needs, rising healthcare costs and a need for accurate risk management. This all comes at high cost to organizations in lost productivity and ever- increasing health and liability insurance fees. Industry experts and top investors are taking notice of global opportunity for employer provided health services. Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock recently discussed on CNBC that worker health is “the new world of work…companies not adapting do so at their own peril”.*

Applied UV, Inc. (NasdaqCM: AUVI ) ("Applied UV" or the "Company"), a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light ("UVC") for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically affirms that its pathogen killing technology SteriLumen's Airocide® and Lumicide are highly effective, differentiating solutions for addressing recent recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for cleaning and disinfecting settings that may be contaminated with Monkeypox and other orthopoxviruses.

In a recent publication, available here , the CDC provided considerations for disinfecting settings that may be contaminated with Monkeypox virus and highlighted the virus' sensitive to UV light, disinfectants and household cleaners in a tweet available here .

John F. Andrews Applied UV's CEO and Director stated, "As the only public, pure-play air and surface disinfection company, we are uniquely capable of capturing a significant portion of the emerging market opportunity affirmed by the CDC's recommendations. We have a growing list of business case uses for global, highly recognized customers such as Whole Foods, Del Monte, the Boston Red Sox, Opus One and Tru Infusion, across a diversity of vertical markets including healthcare, cannabis, correctional facilities, schools, wineries, dairy and food preservation that use our Airocide product suite and attest to its efficacy. The emergence of Monkeypox, which is an airborne and surface transmitted pathogen, presents an additional opportunity for us to apply our clinically-proven Airocide and Lumicide technologies to eradicate the virus from virtually any contaminated setting and reduce the risk of spread. Independent research has affirmed that orthopoxviruses, including Monkeypox, can survive in an environment for weeks or months and porous materials may harbor live viruses for longer periods of time. Airocide, which was developed for NASA and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, is more effective than ultra-violet (UV) solutions as it utilizes Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) technology to completely trap and destroy any and all carbon-based airborne viruses by oxidation without any harmful by-products, and our patented Lumicide surface and drain UVC technology will destroy any surface related Monkeypox virus. We are encouraged by the CDC's proactive efforts to provide guidance on ways to clean, disinfect and reduce the risk of spread, and we look forward to applying our industry-leading solution to help keep people healthy and safe."

The Airocide® System, originally developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, is an airborne pathogen killing technology that uses a patented combination of UVC and a proprietary, titanium dioxide based photocatalyst. Listed as an FDA Class II Medical device, the Airocide® technology is clinically proven and field tested to kill/remove/eliminate airborne pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms, allergens, odors and harmful VOCs in a variety of applications and industries including healthcare, hospitality, grocery chains, wineries, commercial real estate, schools, dental offices and homes. Airocide® air purifiers are available at www.airocide.com .

Applied UV is focused on the development and acquisition of technology that address infection control in the healthcare, hospitality, commercial and municipal markets. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries - SteriLumen, Inc. ("SteriLumen") and Munn Works, LLC ("Munn Works"). SteriLumen's connected platform for Data Driven Disinfection™ applies the power of ultraviolet light (UVC) to destroy pathogens safely, thoroughly, and automatically, addressing the challenge of healthcare-acquired infections ("HAIs"). Targeted for use in facilities that have high customer turnover such as hospitals, hotels, commercial facilities, and other public spaces, the Company's Lumicide™ platform uses UVC LEDs in several patented designs for infection control in and around high-traffic areas, including sinks and restrooms, killing bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens residing on hard surfaces within devices' proximity. The Company's patented in-drain disinfection device, Lumicide Drain, is the only product on the market that addresses this critical pathogen intensive location. SteriLumen's Airocide® air purification devices are research backed, clinically proven and developed for NASA with assistance from the University of Wisconsin. Airocide® is listed as an FDA Class II Medical device, utilizes a proprietary photocatalytic (PCO) bioconversion technology that draws air into a reaction chamber that converts damaging molds, microorganisms, dangerous airborne pathogens, destructive VOCs, allergens, odors and biological gasses into harmless water vapor and green carbon dioxide without producing ozone or other harmful byproducts. Airocide® applications include healthcare, hospitality, grocery chains, wine making facilities, commercial real estate, schools, dental offices, post-harvest, grocery, cannabis facilities and homes.

At the IAA Transportation Trade Show 2022 dynaCERT will be exhibiting its proprietary HydraGEN™ Technology designed to reduce fuel consumption and pollutants such as GHG's currently available globally for small, medium and large diesel vehicles and generators.

IAA Transportation presents the world of buses, van, trucks, trailers and bodies in all its facets. The exhibition provides content for all aspects of sustainable, social, technical, economic and political aspects of global transport. International opinion leaders from all relevant industries will be discussing the challenges of our time and present their solutions and visions for the global and regional transport of the future.

Enrico Schlaepfer, Vice President Global Sales & Marketing for dynaCERT , states, "As part of our CCF (Corporate Carbon Footprint) at dynaCERT , we not only want to reduce world-wide CO 2 e emissions with our HydraGEN™ Technology, but also feel compelled this year to make our booth at the "IAA Transportation" absolutely 100% climate neutral. We pursue an approach that is more transparent and comprehensible than a simple CO 2 e-Offset Certificate. For each component of our exhibit, we calculate the exact amount of CO 2 e emissions and then offset this GHG footprint by planting trees at the Hanover exhibition center and the surrounding area. The Company's HydraGEN™ Technology is the one technology that bridges the gap to the ecological transition and provides a cost-effective solution to the world today!"

Jim Payne, President & CEO of dynaCERT , comments, "After the unexpected planetary disruptions of the past two years caused by the COVID pandemic, dynaCERT is extremely pleased and very eager to be able to relaunch its high-profile global marketing drives and trade show initiatives.

The Offering will be subject to the terms of an underwriting agreement to be entered into between the Company and PI Financial Corp. Closing of the Offering is subject to customary conditions as well as the successful completion of the US Financing and the listing on Nasdaq Capital Market having been approved.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay certain outstanding loans and for general corporate purposes.
