Although we encourage you to complete and return the proxy card or vote by proxy on the Internet to ensure that your vote is counted, you can attend the Annual Meeting virtually where you will be able to vote your shares in person.

Why are we seeking stockholder approval for these proposals?

Proposal No. 1: The Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market require corporations to hold elections for directors each year.

Proposal No. 2: The Company, through its Audit Committee, has selected Guangdong Prouden CPAs GP to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the 2025 fiscal year. The Company anticipates that the process of formally appointing Guangdong Prouden CPAs GP will be completed in advance of the Annual Meeting. The Company elects to have its stockholders ratify such appointment.

Proposal No. 3: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) provides an advisory vote by stockholders to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers.

Proposal No. 4: The Company is seeking approval to amend our Articles of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of our board of directors, the Reverse Stock Split as may be deemed necessary to maintain the Company’s compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, the implementation and timing of which will be subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors.

Votes Required to Approve each Proposal

The holders of a majority in interest of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy (including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

The following votes are required for approval of the proposals being presented at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors. Votes may be cast: “FOR ALL” nominees, “WITHHOLD ALL” nominees or “FOR ALL EXCEPT” those nominees noted by you on the appropriate portion of your proxy or voting instruction card. At the Meeting, four directors are to be elected, which number shall constitute our entire board of directors, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Pursuant to our bylaws, as amended, directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the four candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as directors. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named or for persons other than the named nominees. Withholding a vote from a director nominee will not be voted with respect to the director nominee indicated and will have no impact on the election of directors although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal No. 2: To Ratify the Selection of Guangdong Prouden CPAs GP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Votes may be cast: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the shares of common stock cast at the meeting in person or by proxy is required for the ratification of the selection of Guangdong Prouden CPAs GP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. There will be no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.

Proposal No. 3: To Approve the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. Votes may be cast: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the shares of common stock cast at the meeting in person or by proxy is required for the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the accompanying proxy statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal No. 4: To Recommend an Amendment to the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Votes may be cast: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The affirmative vote of holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting shares of common stock is required for the approval of this proposal to amend the Company’s Sixth Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of this proposal.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “For,” “Abstain” and “Against” votes, and broker non-votes. Abstentions will not be counted as votes for any matter.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

We do. In addition to sending you these materials and posting them on the Internet, some of our employees may contact you by telephone, by mail, by fax, by email or in person. None of these employees will receive any extra compensation for doing this. We may reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs in forwarding these proxy materials to stockholders.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except:

	·	as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;

	·	to allow for the tabulation and certification of votes; and

	·	to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to the Company’s management and the board of directors.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed after the Annual Meeting.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has:

	·	had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
	·	been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
	·	been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
	·	been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
	·	been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
	·	been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Board Operations

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors elected at the annual meetings serve for one-year terms. Officers are elected by, and serve at the discretion of, the board of directors. Our board of directors shall hold meetings on at least a quarterly basis.

Mr. Tan holds the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of the Company. The board of directors believes that Mr. Tan’s services as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Mr. Tan possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us in our business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the board of directors’ time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the Company’s business. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees and customers.

The board of directors has not designated a lead director. The independent directors can call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the board of directors, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.

The board of directors receives regular reports from the Chief Executive Officer and members of senior management on operational, financial, legal and regulatory issues and risks. The Audit Committee of the board of directors additionally is charged under its charter with oversight of financial risk, including the Company’s internal controls, and it receives regular reports from management, the Company’s internal auditors and the Company’s independent auditors. Whenever a committee of the board of directors receives a report involving risk identification, risk management or risk mitigation, the chairman of the committee reports on that discussion, as appropriate, to the full board of directors during the next board meeting.

The Company’s board of directors held four meetings and acted by written consent on five occasions during the year ended June 30, 2024. During that time, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the board of directors and board committees of which the director was a member.

Director Independence Determinations

The board of directors has affirmatively determined that all directors except for Chenlong Tan, our Chairman, CEO and President, are independent in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards. In considering director independence, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviewed transactions between the Company and the directors, their immediate families and affiliated organizations over the past three fiscal years.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of these committees operates under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors, as set forth below. Copies of these charters are available on our website at ir.meetipower.com.

Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee consists of three independent directors. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Tchaikovsky, Ms. Guo and Ms. Li. The Audit Committee consists exclusively of directors who are financially literate and Mr. Tchaikovsky serves as chair of the Audit Committee. As a licensed certified public accountant, Mr. Tchaikovsky is considered an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC’s rules and regulations.

	·	reviewing transactions with related persons for potential conflict of interest situations.

The Audit Committee held five meetings and took no actions by written consent during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee consists of three independent directors. The members of the Compensation Committee are Ms. Li, Mr. Tchaikovsky and Ms. Guo. Ms. Li serves as the chair of the Compensation Committee. The committee has primary responsibility for:

	·	reviewing and recommending all elements and amounts of compensation for each executive officer, including any performance goals applicable to those executive officers;

	·	once required by applicable law, causing to be prepared a committee report for inclusion in applicable SEC filings;
	·	approving any employment agreements, severance agreements or change of control agreements that are entered into with the CEO and certain executive officers; and

	·	making recommendations to the board of directors regarding corporate governance based upon developments, trends, and best practices.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for candidates for the board of directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held no meetings and took no actions by written consent during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a formal Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to every officer, director, employee and consultant (the “Employees”) of the Company and its affiliates. The Code reaffirms the high standards of business conduct required of all of the Company’s Employees.

Insider Trading Policy

The Company has adopted an insider trading policy to help the Company’s Employees comply with federal and state securities laws, prevent insider trading and govern the terms and conditions at which the Employees can trade in the Company’s securities.

Incentive-Based Compensation Recovery (Clawback) Policy

The Company maintains an incentive-based compensation recovery (clawback) policy to enable the Company to recover erroneously awarded compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

Limitation of Directors Liability and Indemnification

The Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate, subject to certain conditions, the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties.

iPower maintains stand-alone director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to us, including matters arising under the Securities Act. In addition, Nevada law and our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers who, by reason of the fact that he or she is an officer or director, is involved in a legal proceeding of any nature.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding against any of our directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Indemnification Agreements

To date, we have no specific indemnification agreements with our directors or executive officers. However, our officers and directors are entitled to indemnification through our bylaws and to the extent allowed pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes, federal securities law and our directors and officers liability insurance.

Director Compensation

We reimburse all members of our board of directors for their direct out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of our board of directors. This table summarizes the compensation paid to each of our independent directors who served in such capacity during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Equity Incentive Plan

On October 15, 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the iPower Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Further on May 5, 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the iPower Inc. Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan allows for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock, whether in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock or cash awards. The general purpose of the Plan is to provide an incentive to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors by enabling them to share in the future growth of the Company’s business. The board of directors believes that granting of equity-based compensation serves to promote continuity of management and provide for a shared interest in the welfare, growth and development of the Company. The Company believes that the Plan will serve to advance the Company’s interests by enhancing its ability to (i) attract and retain employees, consultants, directors and advisors who are able to contribute to the Company’s ongoing success and development, (ii) reward those employees, consultants, directors and advisors for their contributions to the Company, and (iii) encourage employees, consultants, directors and advisors to participate in the Company’s long-term growth and success.

In addition to the RSU grants referenced above, on May 13, 2022, the Company granted stock options (the “Option Grants”) in the amount of (i) 3,000,000 shares to Chenlong Tan, our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) 330,000 shares to Kevin Vassily, our Chief Financial Officer. The Option Grants have an exercise price of $1.12 per share (the closing price on the grant date) and have a term of 10 years, will vest in stages upon the Company’s achievement of certain pre-determined market capitalization and revenue or operating income targets set forth in the grant agreements. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted an additional 62,600 RSUs to our directors and employees.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned as of May 16, 2025 by:

	·	each of our stockholders who is known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our common stock;
	·	each of our executive officers;
	·	each of our directors; and
	·	all of our directors and current executives as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined based on the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person has beneficial ownership of shares if such individual has the power to vote and/or dispose of shares. This power may be sole or shared and direct or indirect. Applicable percentage ownership in the following table is based on the total of 31,359,899 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 16, 2025. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock that are subject to options or warrants held by that person and exercisable as of, or within sixty (60) days of, the date of this Annual Report. These shares, however, are not counted as outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person(s). Except as may be indicated in the footnotes to this table and pursuant to applicable community property laws, each person named in the table has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of common stock set forth opposite that person’s name. Unless indicated below, the address of each individual listed below is c/o iPower Inc., 8798 9th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730.

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

On May 28, 2025, the Company’s Audit Committee approved the appointment of Guangdon Prouden CPAs GP (“Prouden CPAs”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, subject to Prouden CPAs completing certain internal procedures and formally entering into an engagement agreement with the Company and ratification by the Company’s stockholders. We anticipate that the Company’s formal engagement of Prouden CPAs will be complete in advance of our Annual Meeting of Shareholders, at which time we will make a formal announcement of such engagement by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC. Assuming the engagement of Prouden CPAs is complete prior to the Annual Meeting, representatives of Prouden CPAs may be present virtually or by tele-conference at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire.

In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Prouden CPAs, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee and the board of directors in their discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Services and Fees of Independent Accountants

For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, UHY LLP served as the Company’s independent auditor.

	Fiscal year ended June 30,

Audit-related fees ⁽²⁾		–		–
Total fees	$	316,066	$	405,276

_________________________

⁽¹⁾	Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

⁽²⁾	Audit-related fees consist primarily of fees for assurance and related services by the accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee is tasked with pre-approving any non-audit services proposed to be provided to the Company by the independent auditors. In accordance with the SEC’s auditor independence rules, the Audit Committee has established the following policies and procedures by which it approves in advance any audit or permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor.

Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor for any fiscal year’s audit, management submits to the Audit Committee for approval lists of recurring audit, audit-related, tax and other services expected to be provided by the auditor during that fiscal year. The Audit Committee adopts pre-approval schedules describing the recurring services that it has pre-approved, and is informed on a timely basis, and in any event by the next scheduled meeting, of any such services rendered by the independent auditor and the related fees.

The fees for any services listed in a pre-approval schedule are budgeted, and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year. The Audit Committee will require additional pre-approval if circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services above the amount of fees originally pre-approved. Any audit or non-audit service not listed in a pre-approval schedule must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis. Every request to adopt or amend a pre-approval schedule or to provide services that are not listed in a pre-approval schedule must include a statement by the independent auditors as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee will not grant approval for:

	·	any services prohibited by applicable law or by any rule or regulation of the SEC or other regulatory body applicable to the Company;

	·	provision by the independent auditor to the Company of strategic consulting services of the type typically provided by management consulting firms; or

	·	the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the tax treatment of which may not be clear under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations and which it is reasonable to conclude will be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Company’s financial statements.

Subject to certain exceptions, tax services proposed to be provided by the auditor to any director, officer or employee of the Company who is in an accounting role or financial reporting oversight role must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis where such services are to be paid for by the Company, and the Audit Committee will be informed of any services to be provided to such individuals that are not to be paid for by the Company.

In determining whether to grant pre-approval of any non-audit services in the “all other” category, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the following four basic guidelines:

	·	whether the service creates a mutual or conflicting interest between the auditor and the Company;

	·	whether the service places the auditor in the position of auditing his or her own work;

	·	whether the service results in the auditor acting as management or an employee of the Company; and

	·	whether the service places the auditor in a position of being an advocate for the Company.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF

THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.

Audit Committee Report

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee our financial reporting activities. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing with both our independent registered public accounting firm and management, our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as our accounting, financial and operating controls and staff. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB” ) in Rule 3200T. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 to be filed with the SEC.

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The advisory vote is not binding on the Company, the board of directors, or management; if executive compensation is not approved by the vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, the Compensation Committee will take account of this fact when considering executive compensation in future years.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR”
THE FOLLOWING ADVISORY RESOLUTION:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to Company’s named executive offices, as disclosed under the caption “Election of Directors—Executive Compensation,” pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables, and narrative discussion, be, and hereby is, approved.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S SIXTH AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Background and Proposed Amendment

Our Charter currently authorizes the Company to issue a total of 180,000,000 shares of the common stock, and up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), in one or more series, and expressly authorizes the board of directors, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to establish and fix for each such series such voting powers, full or limited, and such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the shares of such series.

On May 22, 2025, subject to stockholder approval, the board of directors approved an amendment to our Charter to, at the discretion of the board of directors, effect the Reverse Stock Split of the common stock at a ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-200, which stock split may be effected on one or more occasions within the approved range, when and as needed, to allow the Company to maintain Nasdaq compliance, with the exact ratio or ratios to be determined by the board of directors of the Company at its discretion. The primary goal of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per share market price of our common stock to meet the minimum per share bid price requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe that proposing a range of ratios for the Reverse Stock Split provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended to modify the rights of existing stockholders in any material respect.

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, our board of directors would have the option of effectuating a Reverse Stock Split, in such range as may be needed, when and as need to maintain Nasdaq Listing Requirements. At such time or times as the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the Company would need to ensure that we maintain other Nasdaq Listing Requirements at the time such Reverse Stock Split is effected. For example, if the board of directors were to approve a Reverse Stock Split in the ratio of 1-for-10, that would mean each shareholder would receive one share for each 10 shares held, reducing our total outstanding stock to approximately 3,135,999 shares outstanding. The actual timing for implementation of the Reverse Stock Split and the specific split ratio to be implemented would be determined by the board of directors based upon its evaluation as to when such action would be most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders, including an evaluation of what actions are required to maintain Nasdaq listing. Notwithstanding approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal by our stockholders, the board of directors will have the sole authority to elect whether or not and when to amend our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split. If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, the board of directors will make a determination as to when and whether effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders in light of, among other things, the Company’s ability to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the minimum stock price standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market without effecting the Reverse Stock Split, the per share price of the common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and the expected stability of the per share price of the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split. If the board of directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect the Reverse Stock Split, the board will hold a meeting to determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and will publicly announce the chosen ratio at least five business days prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split. For additional information concerning the factors the board of directors will consider in deciding whether to effect the Reverse Stock Split, see “— Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio” and “— Board Discretion to Effect the Reverse Stock Split.”

The text of the proposed amendment to the Company’s Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split is included as Annex A to this proxy statement (the “Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment”). If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company will have the authority to file the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment, on one or more occasions as needed, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which will become effective upon filing. The board of directors has determined that such amendment is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and has submitted the amendment for consideration by our stockholders at the Special Meeting.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

Maintain Nasdaq Listing

We are submitting this proposal to our stockholders for approval in order to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the minimum per share bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, we believe that the Reverse Stock Split is in our stockholders’ best interests.

On January 2, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that for the 30 consecutive business day period between November 15, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the Company’s common stock had failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, as required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 1, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, unless such period is extended by Nasdaq.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by July 1, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-days to regain compliance (the “Second Compliance Period”). In order to qualify for the Second Compliance Period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If so required in order to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards, the board of directors currently intends to effect the Reverse Stock Split during the Second Compliance Period in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

In the event we are unable to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement in the requisite time frame, we believe that the Reverse Stock Split is our best option to meet the criteria to satisfy the minimum per share bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. A decrease in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split should, absent other factors, assist in ensuring that the per share market price of our common stock remains above the requisite price for continued listing. However, we cannot provide any assurance that our minimum bid price would remain over the minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market following the Reverse Stock Split.

Potential Increased Interest from New Investors

We believe increasing the trading price of our common stock may also assist in our capital-raising efforts by making our common stock more attractive to a broader range of investors and promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. A greater price per share of our common stock could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our common stock (namely, funds that are prohibited or discouraged from buying stocks with a price below a certain threshold), potentially increasing marketability, trading volume and liquidity of our common stock. Many institutional investors view stocks trading at low prices as unduly speculative in nature and, as a result, avoid investing in such stocks. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will provide the board of directors flexibility to make our common stock a more attractive investment for these institutional investors, which we believe will enhance the liquidity for the holders of our common stock and may facilitate future sales of our common stock.

The Reverse Stock Split could also increase interest in our common stock for analysts and brokers who may otherwise have policies that discourage or prohibit them in following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on transactions in low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.

The board of directors intends to effect the Reverse Stock Split only if it believes that a decrease in the number of shares outstanding is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and is likely to improve the trading price of our common stock and improve the likelihood that we will be allowed to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Accordingly, our board of directors approved the Reverse Stock Split as being advisable and in the best interests of the Company.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split May Not Increase the Price of our Common Stock Over the Long-Term.

As noted above, the principal purpose of the Reverse Stock Split, and having the Reverse Stock Split available for future use, is to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the minimum stock price standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time, or at all. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will proportionally increase the market price of our Common Stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price of our common stock by a multiple of the Reverse Stock Split ratio, or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock may be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including the Company’s business and financial performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success.

The Reverse Stock Split May Decrease the Liquidity of our Common Stock.

The board of directors believes that the Reverse Stock Split may result in an increase in the market price of our common stock, which could lead to increased interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, the Reverse Stock Split will also reduce the total number of outstanding shares of common stock, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our common stock, particularly if the price per share of our common stock does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split May Result in Some Stockholders Owning “Odd Lots” That May Be More Difficult to Sell or Require Greater Transaction Costs per Share to Sell.

If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, it will increase the number of stockholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares of common stock (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own fewer than 100 shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their common stock.

The Reverse Stock Split May Lead to a Decrease in our Overall Market Capitalization.

The Reverse Stock Split may be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share market price of our common stock does not increase in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio, then the value of our Company, as measured by our market capitalization, will be reduced. Additionally, any reduction in our market capitalization may be magnified as a result of the smaller number of total shares of common stock outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split.

Potential Consequences if the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is Not Approved

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our board of directors will not have the authority to effect the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment to, among other things, facilitate the continued listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market by increasing the per share trading price of our common stock to help ensure a share price high enough to satisfy the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. Any inability of our board of directors to effect the Reverse Stock Split could expose us to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio

The board of directors believes that stockholder approval of an amendment that gives the board of directors the discretion to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-200 for the potential Reverse Stock Split is advisable and in the best interests of our Company and stockholders because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the Reverse Stock Split would be implemented. We believe that the proposed Reverse Stock Split ratios provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split may be implemented on or more occasions, when and as needed, to allow the Company to maintain Nasdaq compliance, with the exact ratio or ratios to be determined by the board of directors of the Company at its discretion. The Reverse Stock Split ratio to be selected by our board of directors will not be more than 1-for-200. The Company will publicly announce the chosen ratio at least five business days prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split and the Reverse Stock Split will be implemented by the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting, if at all.

The selection of the specific Reverse Stock Split ratio, as well as the timing of implementing the Reverse Stock Split, will be based on several factors, including, among other things:

	·	our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market;

	·	the per share price of our common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split;

	·	the expected stability of the per share price of our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split;

	·	the likelihood that the Reverse Stock Split will result in increased marketability and liquidity of our common stock;

	·	prevailing market conditions;

	·	general economic conditions in our industry; and

	·	our market capitalization before and after the Reverse Stock Split.

We believe that granting our board of directors the authority to set the timing of and the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split is essential because it allows us to take these factors into consideration and to react to changing market conditions. If the board of directors chooses to implement the Reverse Stock Split, the Company will make a public announcement regarding the determination of the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

Board Discretion to Effect the Reverse Stock Split

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, the board of directors will have the discretion to implement the Reverse Stock Split or to not effect the Reverse Stock Split at all on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Special Meeting. The board of directors has not yet determined when or if it will be required to effect the stock split, as market conditions may improve prior to the Company needing to take action. As such, if the trading price of our Common Stock increases without effecting the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split may not be necessary. Following the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, there can be no assurance that the market price of our Common Stock will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of the post-split Common Stock can be maintained above $1.00. There also can be no assurance that our Common Stock will not be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market for other reasons.

If our stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal at the special meeting, the Reverse Stock Split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the board of directors that the Reverse Stock Split is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at that time. No further action on the part of the stockholders will be required to either effect or abandon the Reverse Stock Split.

The market price of our Common Stock is dependent upon our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the market price of our common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split could significantly reduce the trading volume and otherwise adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.

We have not proposed the Reverse Stock Split in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of common stock or obtain control of the Company, nor is it a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions to our board of directors or our stockholders. Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split, our board of directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Issued and Outstanding Shares.

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, it will reduce the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by a Reverse Stock Split ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-200. Accordingly, each of our stockholders will own fewer shares of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in an adjustment to a stockholder’s ownership of common stock due to the treatment of fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, voting rights and other rights, powers and preferences of the holders of common stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). Common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and nonassessable, and the par value per share of common stock will remain $0.001.

As of the record date, the Company had 31,359,899 shares of common stock outstanding. For purposes of illustration, if the Reverse Stock Split is effected at a ratio of 1-for-2 or 1-for-200, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the Reverse Stock Split would be approximately 15,679,949 shares and 156,799 shares, respectively. We will not effect a Reverse Stock Split at a ratio that would cause us to be unable to meet other Nasdaq Listing Requirements, including maintaining at least 300 public stockholders, at least 500,000 publicly held shares and a market value of publicly held shares of at least $1 million.

We are currently authorized to issue a maximum of 180,000,000 shares of our common stock. As of the record date, there were 31,359,899 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. Although the number of authorized shares of our common stock will not change as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced in proportion to the ratio selected by the board of directors. Thus, the Reverse Stock Split will effectively increase the number of authorized and unissued shares of our common stock available for future issuance by the amount of the reduction effected by the Reverse Stock Split.

Following the Reverse Stock Split, the board of directors will have the authority, subject to applicable securities laws, to issue all authorized and unissued shares without further stockholder approval, upon such terms and conditions as the board of directors deems appropriate. We do not currently have any plans, proposals or understandings to issue the additional shares that would be available if the Reverse Stock Split is approved and effected, but some of the additional shares underlie warrants, which could be exercised after the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment is effected.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Outstanding Equity Awards and Plans.

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the terms of equity awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), including (i) the number of shares and type of common stock (or the securities or property) which thereafter may be made the subject of awards; (ii) the number of shares and type of common stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards; (iii) the number of shares and type of common stock (or other securities or property) specified as the annual per-participant limitation under the Incentive Plan; (iv) the option price of each outstanding stock option; (v) the amount, if any, paid for forfeited shares in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan; and (vi) the number of or exercise price of shares then subject to outstanding SARs previously granted and unexercised under the Incentive Plan, will be proportionally adjusted to the end that the same proportion of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in each instance shall remain subject to exercise at the same aggregate exercise price; subject to adjustments for any fractional shares as described herein and provided, however, that the number of shares of common stock (or other securities or property) subject to any award shall always be a whole number. In addition, the total number of shares of common stock that may be the subject of future grants under the Incentive Plan, as well as any plan limits on the size of such grants (e.g., the Incentive Plan’s limit on the number of stock options or stock appreciation rights that may be granted to our executive officers in any calendar year) will be adjusted and proportionately decreased as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Voting Rights.

Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of common stock would not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 1% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split would continue to hold 1% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock after the Reverse Stock Split.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Regulatory Matters.

The Company is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the Company’s obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the SEC.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Authorized Share Capital.

The total number of shares of capital stock that we are authorized to issue will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split.

Treatment of Fractional Shares in the Reverse Stock Split

The Company does not intend to issue fractional shares in the event that a stockholder owns a number of shares of common stock that is not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, each fractional share of common stock will be:

rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock after all of the fractional interests of a holder have been aggregated, if such shares of common stock are held directly; or

rounded down to the nearest whole share of common stock, if such shares are subject to an award granted under the Incentive Plan, in order to comply with the requirements of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code.

Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Reverse Stock Split would become effective, if at all, when the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment is accepted and recorded by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. However, notwithstanding approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal by our stockholders, the board of directors will have the sole authority to elect whether or not and when to amend our Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split. If approved by our stockholders, we intend to keep this Reverse Stock Split option available to us so long as market conditions remain turbulent.

Exchange of Share Certificates

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, each certificate representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split common stock at the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. As soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, the Transfer Agent will mail a letter of transmittal to the Company’s stockholders containing instructions on how a stockholder should surrender its, his or her certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock to the Transfer Agent in exchange for certificate(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock. No certificate(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the Transfer Agent. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange its, his or her certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock for certificate(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock registered in the same name.

Stockholders who hold uncertificated shares of common stock electronically in “book-entry” form will have their holdings electronically adjusted by the Transfer Agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. If any certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock to be exchanged contain a restrictive legend or notation, as applicable, the certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock will contain the same restrictive legend or notation.

Any stockholder whose share certificate(s) representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed will only be issued post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock after complying with the requirements that the Company and the Transfer Agent customarily apply in connection with lost, stolen or destroyed certificates.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING PRE-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING PRE-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNTIL THEY ARE REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Appraisal Rights

Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, which govern Nevada’s corporate law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenter’s rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Regulatory Approvals

The Reverse Stock Split will not be consummated, if at all, until after approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained. The Company is not obligated to obtain any governmental approvals or comply with any state or federal regulations prior to consummating the Reverse Stock Split other than the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Accounting Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, the par value per share of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.001. Accordingly, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets attributable to our common stock will be reduced in proportion to the size of the Reverse Stock Split ratio, and the additional paid-in-capital account will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged. Per share net income or loss will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. The common stock held in treasury will be reduced in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, will arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion is included for general information purposes only and does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax law that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their particular circumstances. This discussion is based on the Code and current Treasury Regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.

All stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, partnerships, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities, persons holding shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, U.S. holders (as defined below) subject to the alternative minimum tax or the unearned income Medicare tax and U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This summary also assumes that the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock were, and the post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code.

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

	·	a citizen or resident of the United States;

	·	a corporation or other entity taxed as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

	·	an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

	·	a trust (A) if a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more “U.S. persons” (as defined in the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has a valid election in effect to be treated as a U.S. person.

In general, no gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon the exchange of pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock for post-Reverse Stock Split common stock. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split common stock should be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock exchanged in the Reverse Stock Split. A stockholder’s holding period in the post-Reverse Stock Split common stock should include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock exchanged in the Reverse Stock Split.

As noted above, we will not issue fractional shares of common stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. In certain circumstances, stockholders who would be entitled to receive fractional shares of common stock because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up to the next whole post-Reverse Stock Split share of common stock. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of such an additional fraction of a share of common stock is not clear.

The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

Vote Required

The approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote on the proposal, voting together as a single class. The failure to vote on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. An abstention will have the same effect as a vote against the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. A vote on this proposal will be considered a “routine” matter. Therefore, we do not expect any broker non-votes on this proposal and a failure to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares will not necessarily count as a vote against this proposal.

Board Recommendation

The board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.
