NEW YORK, NY - (NewMediaWire) - April 1, 2024 - Applied UV, Inc. (NASDAQ: AUVI) (the “Company”), a leader in smart building technology solutions, today announced the closing of its previously announced registered direct offering and concurrent private placement with institutional investors.

In a concurrent private placement, the Company also issued common warrants (“Common Warrants”) to the same investors. Aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from both transactions were approximately $2.76 million. The transactions closed on April 1, 2024.  The transactions were priced at the market under Nasdaq rules.
