("Akers" or the "Company")

Warrant Amendment and Exercise

Akers Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKER) (AIM: AKR.L), ("Akers Bio" or the "Company"), a developer of rapid health information technologies, announces it has revised the terms of the warrants over 724,200 common shares of no par value in the Company ("Common Shares") issued in relation to the placing of new common shares, announced on 31 March 2017 (the "March 2017 Warrants"). The terms of the March 2017 Warrants have been amended to a strike price of $1.00 per share; otherwise all terms of these warrants remain unchanged.

In addition, Akers has entered into an agreement with holders of the March 2017 Warrants to exercise these warrants, which will result in the purchase of 724,200 shares of Commons Shares, subject to beneficial ownership limitations on exercise contained in the March 2017 Warrants, by 13 December 2017.

The Company has received notification to exercise 387,000 of the March 2017 Warrants, pursuant to the amended terms and the agreement described above. The Company expects to receive $387,000 as a result of this exercise and as such, the Company will apply for 387,000 new common shares of no par value to be admitted to trading on AIM.

Admission of the 387,000 new Common Shares is expected to take place on or around 20 October 2017. The new Common Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Commons Shares.

This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of EU Regulation 596/2014. Following the issue of new Common Shares detailed above the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will consist of 9,288,245 common shares with no common shares held in treasury. Therefore, the above figure of 9,288,245 may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
