This Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”)
of PositiveID Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), and is being filed by Lyle L. Probst. The principal

2. Identity and Background
The
name of the reporting person is Lyle L. Probst. His business address is 1690 South Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, Florida
33445 and his present principal occupation is president of the Issuer. Mr. Probst is a citizen of the United States of America.
Mr. Probst has not, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) and was not, during the last five years, a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect
to such laws.
Item
3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The Issuer granted to Mr. Probst 4,893 Shares
on January 8, 2013 and 7,333 of restricted stock on April 16, 2014 as employee 2011; (ii) 40 stock options on August 31, 2011; (iii) 400 stock
options on June 6, 2012, all of which are fully vested. On January 7, 2016, the Issuer granted to Mr. Probst 300,000 options
to purchase Shares with an exercise price of $1.02 which vest; (i) 102,000 on January 1, 2017; (ii) 99,000 on January 1, 2018;
(iii) 99,000 on January 1, 2019, as long-term equity compensation.
On
September 30, 2013, pursuant to a liability reduction plan, the Issuer issued Mr. Probst 40 shares of Series I Convertible Preferred
Stock (“Series I”). The Series I had a stated value of $1,000 per share, and a dividend rate of 6.0% per year. The
Series I Preferred Stock had voting rights equivalent to twenty-five votes per common share equivalent. On January 14, 2014, the
Issuer granted to Mr. Probst 100 shares of Series I as compensation for 2013. On January 12, 2015, the Issuer granted
to Mr. Probst 150 shares of Series I as compensation for 2014. On December 22, 2015, as compensation for 2016
the Issuer granted to Mr. Probst 125 shares of Series I, at which time he owned a total of 415 shares of Series I.
On
August 11, 2016, Mr. Probst entered into an exchange agreement pursuant to which he exchanged 415 shares of Series I, with a liquidation
value of $456,419, for 456 shares of Series II Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series II”), with an initial liquidation
value of $456,000. The Series II has a stated value per share of $1,000, and a dividend rate of 6% per year. As with the Series
I Preferred, the Series II Preferred has 25 votes per common share equivalent. Any shares of Series I previously issued to Mr.
Probst are null and void and any and all rights arising thereunder were extinguished.
From
November 11, 2011 through August 18, 2016, the Issuer did not have a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of
the Act. On August 19, 2016, the Issuer filed a registration statement on Form 8-A registering its class of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share (this par value was reduced to $0.0001 per share on January 30, 2017), pursuant to Section 12(g) of the
Act.
Mr.
Probst was eligible to file a Schedule 13G by August 29, 2016, because he did not acquire any securities following the registration.
Mr.
Probst is now filing a Schedule 13D because o
n March 29, 2017,
as compensation for 2016, the Issuer granted to Mr. Probst 250 shares of Series II, at which time he owned a total of
706 shares of Series II. This acquisition, in the aggregate with all other acquisitions following March 29, 2016 (the twelve
months immediately preceding the date of the most recent acquisition), is more than 7% of the voting power of the Issuer.
The
Series II granted to Mr. Probst has a stated value of $1,000 per share and as of March 29, 2017, are convertible into 4,018,003,044
Shares, at a conversion price of $0.00018 per share. The conversion price of the Series II is calculated at 100% of the lowest
daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the subsequent 12 months following the issuance date. As each share
of Series II holds 25 votes per share, the voting rights of Mr. Probst’s Series II total 100,450,076,104 shares. These shares
constitute the majority of his beneficial ownership in the Company. The Series II shares will vest on January 1, 2019.
