Correction: Issue of Equity

July 20, 2018

Correction: the announcement which follows amends certain information previously announced by Akers Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company") through RNS on February 16, 2018 with RNS Number 1898F, under the heading "Issue of Equity". The figure in that announcement of 4,705,500 for the aggregate number of Common Shares over which the Company received warrant exercise notices was overcounted by 131,643 Common Shares, as a result of an administrative error on the Company's US Share Register report. The proceeds announced as received from the exercise of warrants was therefore overstated by $24,683. Consequently, the Company's issued share capital was then overstated by 131,643 Common Shares in the February 16, 2018 announcement and in each of the subsequent "Issue of Equity" announcements since that date, on March 2, March 9, March 16, March 26, April 6, and April 13, 2018. The Company will apply for the cancellation of the 131,643 Common Shares which were incorrectly included. The revised February 16, 2018 "Issue of Equity" announcement appears below.
