Exhibit 99.1
Guardforce AI Has Secured a Three-Year Contract
with a Leading Japanese Retailer for its End-to-End Cash Management Solution Including Guardforce Digital Machine in Thailand
NEW YORK, NY / October 17, 2023 / Guardforce
AI Co., Limited (“Guardforce AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GFAI, GFAIW), an integrated security
provider specializing in secured logistics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robot-as-a-Service (“RaaS”), today announced
that its subsidiary, Guardforce Cash Solutions Security (Thailand) Company Limited (“GFCS”), has secured a three-year contract
with a leading Japanese retailer that was a pre-existing client (“Client”) for its end-to-end cash management solutions, further
strengthening the Company’s leading position in Thailand.
The end-to-end cash management solution in this
contract renewal includes Guardforce Digital Machine (“GDM”), Cash-in-Transit, Cash Processing Centre, and Change Fund services
across four locations in Bangkok, Thailand.
GDM, the newly added service in this contract,
enhances the Client’s safety through a security system that protects against potential fraud or theft. GDM eliminates the need for
staff to count cash by hand, thereby decreasing cash-counting errors and enhancing efficiency. The Client can also generate revenue reports
at any time and from anywhere.
Kee Yun (Tommy) Kwan,
Chief Operating Officer of Guardforce AI, stated, “We appreciate our client’s support over the few past years. Retail clients
are one of our prime customers for our secured logistics solution since retail clients have a relatively large demand for cash processing
and require quick and accurate cash counting and trackable digital records. We’re the only company in Thailand that provides complete
end-to-end cash management solutions, and this contract further strengthens our footprint in Thailand. By maintaining solid relationships
with our clients, it allows us to cross-sell additional products such as robotics and other security services.”

Exhibit 99.2
Guardforce AI Completes Conversion of $15.91
Million of Total Debt and Interest into Ordinary Shares at $5.40 Per Share
Conversion of debt to equity significantly improves
the Company’s balance sheet
NEW YORK, NY / October 24, 2023 / Guardforce
AI Co., Limited (“Guardforce AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: GFAI, GFAIW), an integrated security
provider specializing in secured logistics, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robot-as-a-Service (“RaaS”), is pleased to announce
that it has completed the conversion of the Company’s $13.4 million of debt and $2.5 million of accrued and unpaid interest in exchange
for 2,947,150 restricted ordinary shares at $5.40 per share on October 24, 2023. The conversion price represents an approximately 75%
premium to yesterday’s closing price.
Lei (Olivia) Wang, Chairwoman
and Chief Executive Officer of Guardforce AI, stated, “This debt-to-equity conversion is a strategic move to further strengthen
our balance sheet as we continue to enhance and develop our robotic solutions and support our well-established secured logistics business.
The lender has been our long-term partner since the Company’s inception and has consistently supported our business development efforts.
With the conversion price set at a substantial premium to our current share price, we believe this transaction further demonstrates the
lender’s confidence in our business outlook. Additionally, this opportunity was in the best interests of our shareholders as we
have now preemptively addressed and satisfied next year’s large debt maturity while meaningfully reducing our overall leverage.
We raised approximately $23 million gross proceeds in the first half of 2023 and we remain very excited about the prospects for the business.”
