EXPLANATORY NOTE
Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (the “Registrant”) has prepared this registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to register an additional 100,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for issuance under the Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”).
On February 8, 2023, the stockholders of the Registrant approved an amendment to the 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 25,000 shares to 75,000 shares; and on May 8, 2023, the stockholders of the Registrant approved an amendment to the 2019 Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 75,000 shares to 125,000 shares. All share amounts in this Registration Statement have been adjusted to reflect the 1–for-20 reverse split of the Registrant’s Common Stock effected February 9, 2023.
Accordingly, pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the earlier registration statement on form S-8 relating to the 2019 Plan (Registration File No. 333-266571) (the “Prior Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 5, 2023, are hereby incorporated herein by reference to the extent not superseded hereby.

Item 8. Exhibits.
* | Filed herewith. |
Item 9. Undertakings.
A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York City, State of New York, on the 31 day of May, 2023.

This opinion is limited to the Federal law of the United States and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. This opinion is rendered pursuant to Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K under the Act.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.
