FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LaserLock Technologies Inc. Announces Company Name Change to VerifyMe, Inc. and Completion of Reverse Stock Split

VerifyMe Targets Consumer and Brand Protection Following Restructuring

VerifyMe Launches New Website www.verifyme.com

New York, N.Y. – July 23, 2015 – VerifyMe, Inc. (OTCBB:LLTID), a pioneer in combining physical, cyber and biometric security solutions to prevent identity theft, counterfeiting and fraud, today announced that its company name change and 85 for 1 reverse stock split have been completed.

“VerifyMe is the result of a restructuring of LaserLock Technologies reaching an agreement with its digital licensing partner and a re-capitalization of the company with $1.5 million in new investment,” said Paul Donfried, President and Chief Executive Officer of VerifyMe. “Our company offers a suite of patented technologies that verify the authenticity and provenance of any material good or the identity of any person. This milestone positions our company to deliver leading identity and authentication solutions in both cyber and physical security,” Mr. Donfried continued.

VerifyMe will continue to enhance its physical solutions, which are based on proprietary security pigments and inks. The company is focused on expanding its relationships with existing customers and establishing new partnerships.

“We anticipate that the restructuring will prepare VerifyMe for a future uplisting and attract additional investors,” said Benjamin Burrell, Chief Operating Officer of VerifyMe.

“As concerns and threats of identity theft and counterfeiting rise, we see increasing demand for innovative solutions. We believe that our technologies and company are well positioned to improve consumer and brand protection,” Mr. Burrell continued.

Interwest Transfer Company, Inc., is acting as exchange and transfer agent for the reverse stock split. Additional information can be found in the definitive information statement posted on the Company’s website www.verifyme.com or by visiting www.sec.gov.
