A U.S.-based medical device company recently completed its successful uplisting to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) American exchange. Know Labs Inc. KNW raised over $8 million from its public offering of common stock.

Though it initially announced trading a public offering of 3.6 million at $2 a share, it ended up trading 4.14 million.
This increase means Know Labs closed with over $1 million more than anticipated — raising $8.28 million before underwriting discounts, commissions and other expenses.
