PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, JULY 22, 2021

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

General

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Minim, Inc., for use at the Virtual Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Thursday, July 22, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”), or at any continuation or adjournment thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders. This Proxy Statement, the form of proxy and accompanying materials are being first given or sent to stockholders on July 12, 2021. Stockholders can participate in the Virtual Special Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MINM2021SM. In this proxy statement we refer to Minim, Inc., as “Minim,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us.”

Record Date, Stock Ownership and Voting

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on July 6, 2021, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting. At the close of business on July 6, 2021 there were outstanding and entitled to vote 35,631,239 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”). Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock.

One-third of the shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote is required to be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting in order to constitute the quorum necessary to take action at the Special Meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Special Meeting will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Special Meeting. The inspector of elections will treat abstentions as shares of Common Stock that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Shares of Common Stock held of record by brokers who do not return a signed and dated proxy or do not comply with the voting instructions will not be considered present at the Special Meeting, will not be counted towards a quorum and will not be voted on any proposal. Shares of Common Stock held of record by brokers who comply with the voting instructions but who fail to vote on a proposal (“broker non-votes”) will be considered present at the Special Meeting and will count toward the quorum but will be deemed not to have voted on such proposal.

An affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon will be necessary to approve the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Accordingly, it is important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares on this proposal.

We do not intend to submit any other proposals to the stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Board of Directors was not aware, a reasonable time before mailing of this proxy statement to stockholders, of any other business that may properly be presented for action at the Special Meeting. If any other business should properly come before the Special Meeting, shares represented by all proxies received by us will be voted with respect thereto in accordance with the best judgment of the persons named as attorneys in the proxies.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK TO 62,000,000 SHARES, CONSISTING OF 60,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND 2,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date, currently authorizes the issuance of 42,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share. On April 29, 2021 and June 30, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a proposal to amend our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that we are authorized to issue from 42,000,000 shares to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share subject to stockholder approval.

This proposal was considered by the stockholders of the Company at its 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on June 2, 2021. The Company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on June 4, 2021 to announce results from the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The voting results of this proposal reflected a tabulation report that treated the proposal as “routine;” however, the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting described the proposal as “non-routine.” When tabulated as a non-routine matter, this proposal was not approved by the Company’s stockholders. Certain shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by executive officers and directors of the Company who had been stockholders of Zoom Connectivity, Inc. (“Zoom Connectivity”) which was acquired by the Company in a December 2020 merger transaction, inadvertently were not voted at the meeting. If those votes had been cast at the meeting and were voted for the proposal, the proposal would have been approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders. On June 30, 2021, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Correction (the “Certificate of Correction”) to void the previously filed amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. This Special Meeting is being held to allow the stockholders to reconsider the proposal with the expectation that a sufficient number of shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by those former Zoom Connectivity stockholders will be voted for the proposal to permit the proposal to be approved by the Company’s stockholders.

Our Board of Directors believes the proposed amendment to be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and is accordingly submitting the proposed amendment to be voted on by the stockholders in order to give the Company more flexibility in considering the planning for and responding quickly to future corporate needs, including, but not limited to, capital raising transactions, grants under equity compensation plans, stock splits, potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, stock dividends and other general corporate transactions. In particular, a portion of the newly authorized shares are expected to be issued in connection with stock offerings, placements or other financings effected to raise additional capital for the Company. If the authorization of an increase in the available Common Stock is not approved, the delay and expense incident to obtaining future approval of stockholders could impair our ability to address those corporate needs.

As of July 6, 2021, of the 40,000,000 currently authorized shares of Common Stock, 35,631,239 shares were issued and outstanding and options to purchase 2,817,077 shares were outstanding under our stock incentive plans.

Based on our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and the outstanding options under our stock incentive plans, as of July 6, 2021, we had 2,400,752 shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance in the future.

As of July 6, 2021, none of the 2,000,000 currently authorized shares of Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding.

Text of the Amendment

Our Board of Directors proposes to delete Article FOURTH of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in its entirety and insert the following in lieu thereof, so that it would read in its entirety as follows:

“The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, “Common Stock” and “Preferred Stock.” The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is sixty-two million (62,000,000), of which sixty million (60,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, having a par value of $.01 per share, and of which two million (2,000,000) shares shall be Preferred Stock, having a par value of $.001 per share.

The Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL and the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, to provide, by resolution or resolutions from time to time and by filing a certificate or certificates of designations pursuant to the DGCL, for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares to be included in each such series, to fix the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each such series and to fix the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, special voting rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for issuance of any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series to the extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Certificate of Incorporation, no vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of the Preferred Stock authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of Incorporation, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the capital stock of the Corporation.”

The Certificate of Amendment attached hereto as Appendix A reflects the changes that will be implemented to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation if this Proposal No. 1 is approved by the stockholders.

Purpose of the Amendment

Our Board of Directors is recommending this increase in the authorized capital stock, in particular Common Stock, primarily to have additional shares of Common Stock available for use as our Board of Directors deems appropriate or necessary. As such, the primary purpose of the proposed amendment is to provide us with greater flexibility with respect to managing our Common Stock in connection with such corporate purposes as may, from time to time, be considered advisable by our Board of Directors.

The newly authorized shares of Common Stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose including flexibility in considering the planning for future corporate needs, including, but not limited to, capital raising transactions, grants under equity compensation plans, stock splits, potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, stock dividends and other general corporate transactions. In particular, a portion of the newly authorized shares are expected to be issued in connection with stock offerings, placements or other financings effected to raise additional capital for the Company.

Our Board of Directors has determined that having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock would allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our capitalization.

Rights of Additional Authorized Shares

The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock will not, by itself, have any effect on the rights of present stockholders. Any authorized shares of Common Stock, if and when issued, would be part of the Company’s existing class of Common Stock and would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock currently outstanding. Current stockholders do not have pre-emptive rights with respect to Common Stock, except for those granted contractually, nor do they have cumulative voting rights. Should the Board of Directors issue additional shares of Common Stock, existing stockholders, other than those with contractual pre-emptive rights, would not have any preferential rights to purchase any of such shares, and their percentage ownership of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock could be reduced.

Potential Adverse Effects of Amendment

Future issuances of Common Stock could have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share, book value per share and the voting power and interest of current stockholders. In addition, the availability of additional shares

of Common Stock for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult any efforts to obtain control of the Company or inhibit the removal of incumbent management. For example, the issuance of the newly authorized shares of Common Stock could be used to deter or prevent a change of control through dilution of stock ownership of persons seeking to take control or by rendering a transaction proposed by such persons more costly. However, the Board of Directors is not aware of any third-party attempts to assume control of the Company and has not presented this Proposal 1 with the intent that it be utilized as an anti-takeover device or to inhibit the removal of incumbent management.

Effectiveness of Amendment

If the proposed amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which the Company expects to file promptly after the Special Meeting. If the proposed amendment is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon will be necessary to approve the amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock to 62,000,000 shares, consisting of 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Accordingly, it is important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK TO 62,000,000 SHARES, CONSISTING OF 60,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND 2,000,000 SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR CAPITAL STOCK

The following information describes our Common Stock and Preferred Stock, as well as certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Charter”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”). This description is only a summary. You should also refer to our Charter and Bylaws.

General

We are authorized under Delaware law to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. We are seeking stockholder approval to increase our authorized number of shares of Common Stock to 60,000,000.

Common Stock

Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise provided by law or our Charter or Bylaws, all matters other than the election of directors submitted to the stockholders at any meeting shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of votes properly cast upon such question. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting. Our Charter and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.

Dividends. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding Preferred Stock, the holders of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds. We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock and do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain all available funds for use in the operation and expansion of our business. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement, we cannot pay any dividends without Silicon Valley Bank’s prior written consent.

Liquidation. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.

Other Rights and Preferences. Holders of our Common Stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our Preferred Stock that we may designate and issue in the future.

Fully Paid and Nonassessable. All of our outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

Our Charter authorizes the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share. No shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding.

Provisions in our Charter provide that our Board of Directors is authorized to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series, to establish the number of shares to be included in each such series, to establish the voting powers (if any) of the shares to be included in such series, and to fix the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of each such series and to fix the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including without limitation thereof, dividend rights, special voting rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences. The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

Certain Governance Arrangements

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 3, 2019 (the “2019 Purchase Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Investors named therein, until November 6, 2021, if the

Company proposes to issue Common Stock or any common stock equivalents for cash consideration of $500,000 or greater, in one or more transactions, with the primary purpose of raising capital (each, a “Subsequent Financing”), Zulu Holdings LLC (“Zulu”) has the right to participate in each such Subsequent Financing in an amount necessary to maintain Zulu’s pro-rata ownership of the Issuer (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in such Subsequent Financing.

As of October 9, 2020, the Company entered into a Standstill and Voting Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with Zulu and Mr. Jeremy Hitchcock. Pursuant to the terms of the Standstill Agreement, each of Zulu, Mr. Hitchcock and their controlled affiliates (the “Restricted Parties”) have agreed not to effect any (a) transaction involving the Company and any Restricted Party, in which any Restricted Party would have a material interest different from stockholders of the Company generally, (b) purchase of more than 10% of the then total number of shares of outstanding Common Stock, and (c) sale, transfer or other disposition of Common Stock to a third party that would result in such third party beneficially owning more than 20.0% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately after giving effect to such transaction. The duration of the “Standstill Period” lasts through the earlier of: (i) such time as the Restricted Parties beneficially own less than 45.0% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, and (ii) the third anniversary of the date of the Standstill Agreement.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 12, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), relating to the Company’s acquisition of Zoom Connectivity, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the 10,784,534 shares of Common Stock issued under the Merger Agreement continuously effective under the Securities Act until, among other things, the earlier of such time as all such shares covered by a registration statement covering the resale of such shares issued under the Merger Agreement have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144.

Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the 4,545,455 shares of Common Stock sold under the 2019 Purchase Agreement continuously effective under the Securities Act until, among other things, the earlier of such time as all such shares covered by a registration statement covering the resale of such shares sold under the 2019 Purchase Agreement have been sold thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144.

Liens on Company Assets

Pursuant to the Silicon Valley Bank Loan and Security Agreement, Silicon Valley Bank has a lien on all of the Company’s assets, including shares of capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries, but specifically excludes the Company’s intellectual property.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Charter and Bylaws

Some provisions of Delaware law, our Charter and Bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Undesignated Preferred Stock. The ability of our Board of Directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of undesignated Preferred Stock with voting or other rights or preferences as designated by our Board of Directors could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.

Stockholder Meetings. Our Bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by our president or by our Board of Directors.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors.

Elimination of Stockholder Action by Written Consent. Our Bylaws eliminate the right of stockholders to act by written consent without a meeting.

Removal of Directors. Our Bylaws provide that members of our Board of Directors may only be removed from office (i) with or without cause at any annual or special meeting of stockholders by a vote of a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote in the election of directors, or (ii) for cause by a vote of a majority of the directors then in office, provided that a director may be removed for cause only after reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard before the body proposing to remove such director.

Stockholders Not Entitled to Cumulative Voting. Our Charter does not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they choose.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board of Directors.

The provisions of Delaware law, our Charter and Bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Transfer and Warrant Agent and Registrar

The transfer and warrant agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Computershare.

Listing

Our Common Stock is currently traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MINM”.
