Update on Joint Venture for ThermalPass

The Company is pleased to provide an update as ITT Inc. and Commersive Solutions Corp. ("Commersive") have been working diligently in expediting the development of ThermalPass to help mitigate the spread of COVID 19. As a follow up to the Company's press release of May 7^th, 2020, ITT Inc. and Commersive continue to work towards a definitive agreement which is expected to be completed over the next month. ThermalPass is the first product to be developed and brought to market by SMRT Labs Inc., a jointly held company, owned 51% by AI Labs Inc. ("AI Labs"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Inc., and 49% by Commersive, a developer of integrated, point-of-sale technologies that create unique retail experiences.

ThermalPass' fever detection device uses thermal medical-grade sensors which take 400 temperature readings per second. As ThermalPass does not require the use of cameras, it preserves the end users' anonymity and does not breach social distancing as it does not require human intervention. 

"Designing and developing the technology for ThermalPass would be expected to require at least 12 months, but with our experienced and committed team of engineers and partners, we will have completed design, development and testing in less than four months!", said Michael Lende, President and CEO of ITT. "We are looking forward to commercializing ThemalPass as a much-needed solution in today's COVID-19 world" Michael Lende added.
