Dear Fellow Shareholders,
After closing out our fiscal 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past year and look ahead with excitement and optimism for Moving iMage Technologies (MiT). Despite some unexpected challenges, our company has made significant progress across several strategic fronts, positioning us for sustained growth in the evolving cinema and entertainment industry.
Fiscal 2024 was truly a year of contrasts. We kicked off the year with strong revenue growth and profitability in the first quarter. However, the momentum we had built came to a pause due to the impact of the Hollywood writers' and actors' strikes, which led to widespread delays in our customers’ spending. Although this created short-term headwinds, we remained focused on the bigger picture and continued to invest in the future of MiT.
Adapting to Industry Challenges While the strikes certainly tested our resilience, we took proactive steps to mitigate their effects and prepare for a robust recovery. One of our key achievements was the repurchase of 758,000 shares of stock, reinforcing our commitment to delivering long-term value to shareholders. We also focused on moving forward our initiatives to introduce emerging higher-margin recurring revenue products, including MiTranslator, E-caddy, and CineQC. These innovative technology offerings are designed to capture new opportunities in the outside-the-home entertainment sector, and they will play a critical role in our future growth strategy.
The cinema industry is now regaining its footing, driven by the resurgence of blockbuster films and an increased demand for premium cinema experiences. Theaters are investing in cutting-edge technologies, immersive audio, and enhanced amenities, aligning perfectly with MiT’s strengths. Over the next three years, the eight largest cinema chains in North America plan to invest over $2.2 billion in upgrades, which we believe will lead to broader spending from the remainder of the market to remain competitive, creating a tremendous opportunity for us.
The industry is also entering a new technology refresh and upgrade cycle, with projectors and servers reaching the end of their lifespan. This cycle represents a significant opportunity for MiT, with one medium-sized customer alone planning to upgrade over 200 projectors, a potential $15-25 million in sales for us over the next four years.
Expanding Beyond Cinema Our strategy goes beyond cinema, as we’ve also made strong strides in new markets like Esports and smart venue technology. Our MovEsports platform has gained momentum, offering theaters the opportunity to expand into live events and gaming. Meanwhile, our innovative E-caddy solution for stadiums and arenas is attracting attention from major sports stadium executives for its potential to revolutionize fan experiences with technology-enhanced seating. We are especially excited about the latter and believe it has the potential to transform the Company in the coming years.
Looking Forward to Fiscal 2025 As we move into fiscal 2025, I’m more confident than ever in our future. We have emerged from the challenges of fiscal 2024 stronger, more focused, and poised to benefit from the recovery of the cinema industry and the growing demand for premium entertainment experiences. We also expect to see meaningful progress from our strategic initiatives, which we will update publicly as appropriate throughout the year.
Finally, to ensure we are operating at peak efficiency, management proactively implemented $600,000 in annualized cost reductions, streamlining our operations to enhance efficiency. These efforts will help us realize greater operating leverage, positioning MiT to achieve profitability more quickly and drive further shareholder value.
1
In closing, I want to extend my sincere thanks to our shareholders for your unwavering support and confidence in MiT. We are energized by the opportunities ahead and committed to driving sustained growth, profitability, and innovation. Together, we will continue to build on the legacy of MiT and shape the future of entertainment.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Annual Meeting and Voting
1. | Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting? |
Holders of our common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Common Stock”), as of October 30, 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and accompanying materials to vote their shares at the Meeting. Holders of our Common Stock on the Record Date are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on the Record Date.
2. | How many shares of Common Stock are “outstanding”? |
As of October 30, 2024, there were 9,912,875 of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting.
3. | What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner? |
If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are the “stockholder of record” of those shares. This Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and any accompanying materials have been provided directly to you by Moving iMage Technologies, Inc.
If your shares are held through a broker, bank or other holder of record, you hold your shares in “street name” and are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares. This Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement and any accompanying documents have been provided to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card or by following their instructions for voting. Absent instructions from you, under applicable regulatory requirements, your broker may vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2025 but may not vote your shares on the election of directors or any other proposal that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
4. | Are proxy materials available on the Internet? |
Yes. We are providing our proxy materials using the full set delivery option pursuant to Rule 14a-16(n) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition to delivery of proxy materials to stockholders, the Company must post all proxy materials on a publicly-accessible website and provide information to
5
stockholders about how to access the website. Our proxy materials are also available at https://investors.movingimagetech.com/.
5. | How do I vote? |
Your vote is important. If you hold your shares as a record holder, your shares can be voted if you are present at the Annual Meeting and vote in person or your shares are represented by proxy. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy in advance, using one of the following methods:
On the Internet
The Company has established Internet voting procedures for stockholders of record. These procedures are designed to authenticate your identity, to allow you to give your voting instructions and to confirm that those instructions have been properly recorded. Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 18, 2024.
The website for internet voting by record holders is http://www.vstocktransfer.com/proxy. Please have your proxy card handy when you go to the website and sign in using your control number. You can confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote on the Internet, you also can request electronic delivery of future proxy materials.
If you vote on the Internet, you do not have to return your proxy card.
The availability of Internet voting for beneficial owners will depend on the voting processes of your broker, bank or other holder of record. We therefore recommend that you follow the voting instructions in the materials you receive.
The website for internet voting by record holders is http://www.vstocktransfer.com/proxy. If you vote on the Internet, you also can request electronic delivery of future proxy materials.
By mail
Complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy or voting instruction card and return it in the prepaid envelope. If you are a stockholder of record and return your signed proxy card but do not indicate your voting preferences, the proxy holders named in the proxy card will vote the shares represented by your proxy card as recommended by the Board of Directors.
By Email
If you are a stockholder of record, complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy card and email it to [email protected].
By Fax
If you are a stockholder of record, complete, sign and date the accompanying proxy card and return it via fax to 646-536-3179.
Your vote is important. Please complete vote using one of the voting methods above to ensure that your vote is received timely.
6. | What can I do if I change my mind after I vote? |
If you are a stockholder of record, you can revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:
● | giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company; |
6
● | delivering a valid, later-dated proxy, by mail or email, or a later-dated vote on the Internet, or by fax in a timely manner; or |
● | voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. |
If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other holder of record.
All shares for which proxies have been properly submitted and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting.
7. | How will your proxy vote your shares? |
Your proxy will vote according to your instructions. If you vote by mail and complete, sign, and return the proxy card provided by us but do not indicate your vote, your proxy will vote “FOR” each of the director nominees, and “FOR” ratification of the appointment of Haskell & White LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The Board does not intend to bring any other matter for a vote at the Annual Meeting, and neither we nor the Board know of anyone else who intends to do so. However, on any other business that properly comes before the Annual Meeting, your proxies are authorized to vote on your behalf using their best judgment.
8. | Where can you find the voting results? |
We intend to announce the preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and will publish the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) no later than four business days following the Annual Meeting. If the final voting results are unavailable in time to file a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to disclose the preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known, will file an additional current report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose the final voting results.
9. | What is a broker non-vote? |
If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, you must instruct the broker how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any proposal on which the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. This is called a “broker non-vote.” In these cases, the broker can register your shares as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be able to vote on those matters for which specific authorization is required under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
If you are a beneficial owner whose shares are held of record by a broker, your broker has discretionary voting authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on the ratification of Haskell & White LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the election of directors, or any other proposal properly brought before the Annual Meeting, in which case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these matters.
Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors, which is Proposal One. Because Proposal Two. ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm, is considered to be routine under NYSE rules, if you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other agent may vote your shares on this proposal in its discretion, even if you do not provide voting instructions.
10. | What is a quorum for the Annual Meeting? |
The presence of the holders of shares of Common Stock representing 3,304,291 votes, which is 33 1/3 % of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, in person or represented by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.
7
11. | What are the voting requirements to elect the directors and to approve each of the proposals discussed in this Proxy Statement? |
Election of Directors
Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting. This means that the five persons receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected. If stockholders do not specify the manner in which their shares represented by a validly executed proxy solicited by the Board of Directors are to be voted on this proposal, such shares will be voted in favor of the nominees. If you hold your shares in "street name" and you do not instruct your broker how to vote in the election of directors a broker non-vote will occur and no votes will be cast on your behalf. It is therefore critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in the election of directors. "Withhold" votes and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Ratification of Haskell & White LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm
The affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve the ratification of Haskell & White as our independent registered public accounting firm. Your broker has discretionary voting authority under NYSE rules to vote your shares on this proposal, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
12. | How will my shares be voted at the Annual Meeting? |
At the Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card or, if applicable, their substitutes, will vote your shares as you instruct. If you sign your proxy card and return it without indicating how you would like to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as the Board of Directors recommends, which is:
● | FOR the election of each of the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement; and |
● | FOR ratification of the appointment of Haskell & White LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. |
13. | Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting? |
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we did not know of any matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting, other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement.
If you return your signed and completed proxy card by mail or email or vote on the Internet, or by fax and other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the individuals named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will have the discretion to vote on your behalf.
14. | Who will pay for the cost of the Annual Meeting and this proxy solicitation? |
The Company will pay the costs associated with the Annual Meeting and solicitation of proxies, including the costs of transmitting the proxy materials and E-Proxy Notices. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees (who will not be specifically compensated for such services) may solicit proxies. Arrangements will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward proxies and proxy materials to their principals, and we will reimburse them for their expenses. We have not retained a soliciting agent to assist in the solicitation of proxies.
8
15. Do the Executive Officers and Directors have any interest in the matters to be decided at this Annual Meeting?
None of the Company’s executive officers or directors has any interest in any of the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting, except with respect to each director, to the extent that a director is named as a nominee for election to the Board of Directors.
16. | What is “Householding”? |
“Householding” is a program, approved by the SEC, which allows companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports by delivering only one package of stockholder proxy materials or a single E-Proxy Notice to any household at which two or more stockholders reside. If you and other residents at your mailing address own shares of our common stock in “street name,” your broker or bank may have notified you that your household will receive only one copy of our proxy materials or a single E-Proxy Notice. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” materials to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or a single E-Proxy Notice, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement or multiple E-Proxy Notices and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account. If you hold shares of our common stock in your own name as a holder of record, “householding” will not apply to your shares.
MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE ANNUAL MEETING
PROPOSAL ONE
Election of Directors
Nominees
At the Annual Meeting, five directors, who have been nominated by the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Nominating Committee”), are to be elected, each to hold office (subject to our Bylaws) until the next annual meeting and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified. All of the nominees for director currently serve as directors. No proxy may vote for more than five nominees for director.
Each nominee has consented to being named as a nominee in this Proxy Statement and to serve, if elected. If any nominee listed in the table below should become unavailable for any reason, which the Board of Directors does not anticipate, the proxy will be voted for any substitute nominee or nominees who may be selected by the Board of Directors prior to or at the Annual Meeting, or, if no substitute is selected by the Board of Directors prior to or at the Annual Meeting, for a motion to reduce the membership of the Board of Directors to the number of nominees available. The five nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected. The information concerning the nominees and their security holdings has been furnished by them to us.
Directors are nominated by our Board of Directors, based on the recommendations of the Nominating Committee. As discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, in evaluating director nominees, the Nominating Committee considers characteristics that include, among others, integrity, business experience, financial acumen, leadership abilities, familiarity with our businesses and businesses similar or analogous to ours, and the extent to which a candidate’s knowledge, skills, background and experience are already represented by other members of our Board of Directors.

Vote Required; Board of Directors Recommendation
You may vote in favor of any or all of the nominees or you may also withhold your vote as to any or all of the nominees. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting. This means that the five persons receiving the highest number of affirmative "FOR" votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected. If stockholders do not specify the manner in which their shares represented by a validly executed proxy solicited by the Board of Directors are to be voted on this proposal, such shares will be voted in favor of the nominees. If you hold your shares in "street name" and you do not instruct your broker how to vote in the election of directors, a broker non-vote will occur and no votes will be cast on your behalf. It is therefore critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.
Information Concerning the Board of Directors
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
Our Board does not have a policy on whether or not the role of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman should be separate or, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairman should be selected from the non-employee directors or be an employee. Currently, we operate with Mr. Rafnson serving as our Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer. We currently believe that Mr. Rafnson serving in both capacities best serves the Company and suits the talents, expertise and experience that Mr. Rafnson brings to the Company.
The Board as a whole is responsible for consideration and oversight of the risks we face and is responsible for ensuring that material risks are identified and managed appropriately. Certain risks are overseen by committees of the Board and these committees make reports to the full Board, including reports on noteworthy risk-management issues. Members of the Company’s senior management team regularly report to the full Board about their areas of responsibility and a component of these reports is the risks within their areas of responsibility and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Additional review or reporting on risks is conducted as needed or as requested by the Board or one of its committees.
Board Independence
We are listed on the NYSE American and accordingly, we have applied the listing standards of the NYSE American in determining the “independence” of the members of our Board. Based on the listing standards of the NYSE American and after reviewing the relationships with members of our Board, our Board has determined that Katherine D. Crothall, Ph.D., John C. Stiska, and Scott Lloyd Anderson qualify as independent directors within the meaning of NYSE American Rule 803A(2). The Nominating Committee reviews with the Board at least annually the qualifications of new and existing Board members, considering the level of independence of individual members, together with such other factors as the Board may deem appropriate, including overall skills and experience. The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates the composition of the Board as a whole and each of its committees to ensure the Company’s on-going compliance with NYSE American Rule 803A(2).
Director Compensation
Our Board believes that a significant portion of the total compensation package for our non-employee directors should be equity-based to align the interest of these directors with our stockholders. Directors who are also our employees do not receive any additional compensation for their service on our Board.
12
The following table sets forth all compensation paid to or earned by each non-employee director of the Company during fiscal year June 30, 2024.

During fiscal 2024, our Board held five meetings, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation Committee held one meeting, and the Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting and acted by written consent five times. During the period for which a person served as a director, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings held by the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by those committees of the Board of Directors on which such director served.
The Company’s policy is to encourage, but not require, Board members to attend annual member meetings. In March 2024, all of our directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders.
Committees and Membership
We maintain the following committees of the Board of Directors: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee. Each committee is comprised entirely of directors who are “independent” within the meaning of NYSE American Rule 803A(2). Each committee acts pursuant to a separate written charter, and each such charter has been adopted and approved by the Board. Copies of the committee charters are available on our website at movingimagetech.com under the heading “Investor Relations.”

Compensation Committee
John C. Stiska, Katherine D. Crothall, Ph.D. and Scott Lloyd Anderson serve on the Compensation Committee, which is chaired by Katherine D. Crothall, Ph.D. Our Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is “independent” as defined in the applicable NYSE American rules. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include:
● | annually reviewing and recommending to the board of directors the corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer; |
● | evaluating the performance of our Chief Executive Officer in light of such corporate goals and objectives and based on such evaluation: (i) recommending to the board of directors the cash compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) reviewing and approving grants and awards to our Chief Executive Officer under equity-based plans; |
● | reviewing and recommending to the board of directors the cash compensation of our other executive officers; |
● | reviewing and establishing our overall management compensation, philosophy and policy; |

None of our executive officers currently serves, or in the past fiscal year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or compensation committee. The Compensation Committee has a Charter that is available on our website (https://investors.movingimagetech.com/corporate-governance).
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
John C. Stiska, Katherine D. Crothall, Ph.D. and Scott Lloyd Anderson serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee, which is chaired by Scott Lloyd Anderson. Our Board has determined that each member of the Nominating Committee is “independent” as defined in the applicable NYSE American rules. The Nominating Committee’s responsibilities include:
● | developing and recommending to the board of directors’ criteria for board and committee membership; |
● | establishing procedures for identifying and evaluating board of director candidates, including nominees recommended by stockholders; |
● | reviewing the composition of the board of directors to ensure that it is composed of members containing the appropriate skills and expertise to advise us; |
● | identifying individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors; |
● | recommending to the board of directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each of the board’s committees; |
● | reviewing and recommending to the board of directors appropriate corporate governance guidelines; and |
● | overseeing the evaluation of our board of directors. |
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a Charter that is available on our website (https://investors.movingimagetech.com/corporate-governance).
The Director Nomination Process
The Nominating Committee considers nominees from all sources, including stockholders. The Nominating Committee has the authority to lead the search for individuals qualified to become members of the Company’s Board and to select or recommend to the Board of Directors director nominees to be presented for stockholder approval. The Nominating Committee may use its network of contacts to compile a list of potential candidates, but may also engage, if it deems appropriate, a professional search firm.
The Board will consist of a majority of directors who (i) qualify as “independent” directors within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE American, as the same may be amended from time to time; and (ii) are affirmatively determined by the Board to have no material relationship with the Company, its parents or its subsidiaries (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company, its parents or its subsidiaries). The Nominating Committee reviews with the Board the qualifications of new and existing Board members,
15
considering the level of independence of individual members, together with such other factors as the Board may deem appropriate, including overall skills and experience. Our Board has determined not to establish term limits with regard to service on the Board in the belief that continuity of service and the past contributions of Board members who have developed an in-depth understanding of the Company and its business over time bring a seasoned approach to the Company’s governance. The Nominating Committee will select individuals who have high personal and professional integrity, have demonstrated ability and sound judgment, and are effective, in conjunction with other director nominees, in collectively serving the long-term interests of our stockholders, together with such other factors as the Board may deem appropriate, including overall skills and experience.
Although the Company does not have a policy regarding diversity, the value of diversity on the Board is considered and the particular or unique needs of the Company shall be taken into account at the time a nominee is being considered. The Nominating Committee seeks a broad range of perspectives and considers both the personal characteristics (gender, ethnicity, age) and experience (industry, professional, public service) of directors and prospective nominees to the Board. The Nominating Committee will recommend to the Board nominees as appropriate based on these principles.
Director Nominees by Stockholders. Director nominees provided by stockholders to the Nominating Committee are evaluated by the same criteria used to evaluate potential nominees from other sources. When making a recommendation for a Board nominee to be evaluated by the Nominating Committee, stockholders should include all information about the candidate that is required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. The written recommendation should be sent to the Corporate Secretary of the Company accompanied by the candidate’s written consent to be named in a proxy statement as a nominee, if recommended by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board, and to serve as a director if appointed or elected. Additional information about the candidate may be requested by the Nominating Committee from time to time, either from the recommended person or from the recommending shareholder.
Submission for Consideration at Annual Meeting. The Company’s Bylaws provide that stockholders may nominate directors for consideration at an annual meeting provided they comply with the notice procedures set forth in the bylaws, which are further described in this proxy statement under “Stockholder Proposals.” Nominations made by stockholders in this manner are eligible to be presented by the stockholder at the meeting, but such nominees will not have been considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee as a nominee to be potentially supported by the Company.
Stockholder Communications
Any stockholder who desires to contact any of our directors can write to Moving iMage Technologies, Inc., 17760 Newhope Street, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 Attention: Stockholder Relations. Your letter should indicate that you are a Moving iMage Technologies, Inc. stockholder. Depending on the subject matter, our stockholder relations personnel will:
● | forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed; |
● | forward the communication to the appropriate management personnel; and |
● | not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic. |
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A current copy of this code is posted on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at https://investors.movingimagetech.com/corporate-governance. If we make any substantive amendments to, or grant any waivers from, the code of business conduct and ethics for any officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K.
16
Upon written request to our corporate secretary, we will provide you with a copy of our code of ethics, without cost.
Short Sale, and Pledging Policies
Our Insider Trading Policy applies to our directors, officers and employees, as well as entities controlled by individuals subject to the Insider Trading Policy. The policy strongly prohibits directors, officers, and employees who are Insiders (as defined in the policy), from engaging in short sales, pledging stock on margin and entering into derivative or similar transactions with respect to the Company’s securities.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and the persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of all filed reports are required to be furnished to us. Based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe that our directors and executive officers complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, except that William Greene filed a Form 4 on October 18, 2023 reporting one transaction on May 26, 2023, each of John C. Stiska and Scott Lloyd Anderson filed a Form 4 on October 18, 2023 reporting three transactions on May 26, 2023, and Katherine D. Crothall, Ph.D. filed a Form 4 on October 18, 2023 reporting three transactions on May 26, 2023 and one transaction on September 25, 2023.
Further, based solely on the reports received by us and on the representations of the reporting persons, we believe each greater than ten percent holder complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

Employment Agreements

Except as noted under “Compensation of Named Executive Officers” with respect to Francois Godfrey, our named executive officers are not entitled to any payments or other benefits in connection with a termination of employment or a change in control.
Executive Compensation Policies as They Relate to Risk Management
The Compensation Committee and management have considered whether our compensation policies might encourage inappropriate risk taking by the Company’s executive officers and other employees. The Compensation Committee has determined that the current compensation structure aligns the interests of the executive officers with
19
those of the Company without providing rewards for excessive risk taking by awarding a mix of fixed and performance based or discretionary bonuses with the performance-based compensation focused on profits as opposed to revenue growth.
The Compensation Committee working with management adopts a plan each year intended to award members of our management including executive officers for meeting or exceeding targeted goals. The Committee believes the amounts to be paid to Messrs. Rafnson, Delgado, Wright and Greene for services rendered in fiscal year 2024 are appropriate in light of our financial performance despite the difficulties encountered as a result of the SAG/AFTRA strike and related disruptions to our business.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table
There were no equity award grants for any named executive officers during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.
Clawback Policy
Effective November 30, 2023, our board of directors adopted a clawback policy (“Clawback Policy”) that may be applied in the event of a material financial restatement. The Clawback Policy covers current and former executive officers and includes all incentive compensation. Specifically, in the event of an accounting restatement, we must recover, reasonably promptly, any excess incentive compensation during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement. Compensation that may be recoverable under the policy includes cash or equity-based compensation for which the grant, payment or vesting is or was based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure. The amount to be recovered will be the excess of the incentive compensation paid based on the erroneous data over the incentive compensation that would have been paid had it been based on the restated results. The full text of our Clawback Policy is included as Exhibit 97.1 to our annual report on Form 10-K.
Equity Incentive Plans
2019 Incentive Stock Plan
We have adopted a 2019 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”). On February 24, 2022, the Stockholders approved an amendment increasing the number of stock-based awards available for issuance under the Company’s Plan from 750,000 shares to 1,500,000 shares. At June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 1,150,000 shares of our common stock were reserved for issuance and available for awards under the Plan, including incentive stock options granted under the Plan. The Plan administrator may grant awards to any employee, director, consultant or other person providing services to us or our affiliates.
We adopted the Plan to provide a means by which employees, directors, and consultants of our Company and those of our subsidiaries and other designated affiliates, which we refer to together as our affiliates, may be given an opportunity to purchase our common stock, to assist in retaining the services of such persons, to secure and retain the services of persons capable of filling such positions, and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our success and the success of our affiliates.
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Plan administrator has the authority to determine, within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, the nature, amount and terms of such awards and the objectives and conditions for earning such awards. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, provided that no such action may be taken that adversely affects any rights or obligations with respect to any awards previously made under the Plan without the consent of the recipient. No awards may be made under the Plan after the tenth anniversary of its effective date.
Awards under the Plan may include incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock Units, performance share or Unit awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards.
20
Stock Options. The Plan administrator may grant to a participant options to purchase our Common Stock that qualify as incentive stock options for purposes of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (“incentive stock options”), options that do not qualify as incentive stock options (“non-qualified stock options”) or a combination thereof. The terms and conditions of stock option grants, including the quantity, price, vesting periods, and other conditions on exercise will be determined by the Plan administrator. The exercise price for stock options will be determined by the Plan administrator in its discretion, but non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of our company’s Common Stock on the date when the stock option is granted. Additionally, in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date the stock option is granted. Stock options must be exercised within a period fixed by the Plan administrator that may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, except that in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, the exercise period may not exceed five years. At the Plan administrator’s discretion, payment for shares of Common Stock on the exercise of stock options may be made in cash, shares of our Common Stock held by the participant or in any other form of consideration acceptable to the Plan administrator (including one or more forms of “cashless” or “net” exercise).
Stock Appreciation Rights. The Plan administrator may grant to a participant an award of SARs, which entitles the participant to receive, upon its exercise, a payment equal to (i) the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the SAR exercise price, times (ii) the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The exercise price for a SAR will be determined by the Plan administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Units. The Plan administrator may award to a participant shares of Common Stock subject to specified restrictions (“restricted shares”). Restricted shares are subject to forfeiture if the participant does not meet certain conditions such as continued employment over a specified forfeiture period and/or the attainment of specified performance targets over the forfeiture period. The Plan administrator also may award to a participant Units representing the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future subject to the achievement of one or more goals relating to the completion of service by the participant and/or the achievement of performance or other objectives (“restricted Units”). The terms and conditions of restricted share and restricted Unit awards are determined by the Plan administrator.
Performance Awards. The Plan administrator may grant performance awards to participants under such terms and conditions as the Plan administrator deems appropriate. A performance award entitles a participant to receive a payment from us, the amount of which is based upon the attainment of predetermined performance targets over a specified award period. Performance awards may be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Plan administrator.
Other Stock-Based Awards. The Plan administrator may grant equity-based or equity-related awards, referred to as “other stock-based awards,” other than options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted Units, or performance awards. The terms and conditions of each other stock-based award will be determined by the Plan administrator. Payment under any other stock-based awards will be made in Common Stock or cash, as determined by the Plan administrator.
Cash-Based Awards. The Plan administrator may grant cash-based incentive compensation awards, which would include performance-based annual cash incentive compensation to be paid to covered employees subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. The terms and conditions of each cash-based award will be determined by the Plan administrator.
Transactions with Related Persons

We have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the members of Moving iMage Technologies LLC from any taxes which may at any time be asserted with respect to the Share Exchange implemented in connection with our IPO.
Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require us or will require us to indemnify each director (and in certain cases their related venture capital funds) and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of us, arising out of the person’s services as a director or executive officer.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify each of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We also have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that will insure our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment under certain circumstances.
Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Party Transactions
Our Board of Directors has adopted a written related person transaction policy setting forth the policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related-person transactions. This policy covers, with certain exceptions set forth in Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, any transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships in which we were or are to be a participant, where the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, including, without limitation, purchases of goods or services by or from the related person or entities in which the related person has a material interest, indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness and employment by us of a related person. In reviewing and approving any such transactions, our audit committee will be tasked to consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. All of the transactions described in this section occurred prior to the adoption of any related party transactions policy.
A “related person” means:
● | any person who is, or at any time during the applicable period was, one of our executive officers or one of our directors; |
● | any person who is known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock; |
● | any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, executive officer or a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock; or |
● | any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person has a 10% or greater beneficial ownership interest. |
There are no transactions currently proposed by us in which a related party has a direct or indirect financial interest in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000.
22
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our capital stock by:
● | each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock; |
● | each of our named executive officers; |
● | each of our directors and director nominees; and |
● | all of our current executive officers, directors and director nominees as a group. |
Applicable percentage ownership is based on 9,912,875 shares of Common Stock outstanding at October 30, 2024.
The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the SEC and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within sixty (60) days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option, or other right. More than one (1) person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities. The percentage of beneficial ownership by any person as of a particular date is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person, which includes the number of shares as to which such person has the right to acquire voting or investment power within sixty (60) days, by the sum of the number of shares outstanding as of such date.
Consequently, the denominator used for calculating such percentage may be different for each beneficial owner. Except as otherwise indicated below and under applicable community property laws, we believe that the beneficial owners of our Common Stock listed below have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is c/o Moving iMage Technologies, Inc., 17760 Newhope Street, Fountain Valley, CA 92708.

PROPOSAL TWO
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee has appointed Haskell & White LLP (“Haskell & White”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm and to audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Haskell & White does has served as auditor for the Company since April 21, 2022. Haskell & White does not expect to have a representative present at the Annual Meeting.
We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of Haskell & White as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Although ratification is not required by our By-laws or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Haskell & White to our stockholders for ratification because we value our stockholders’ views on our independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event that our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.
Vote Required; Board of Directors Recommendation
You may vote in favor of or against this proposal or you may abstain from voting. The affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter is required to approve the ratification of Haskell & White as our independent registered public accounting firm. If stockholders do not specify the manner in which their shares represented by a validly executed proxy solicited by the Board are to be voted on this proposal, such shares will be voted in favor of the appointment of Haskell & White as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. Because this proposal is considered to be routine under NYSE rules, if you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other agent may vote your shares on this Proposal Two in its discretion, even if you do not provide voting instructions.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
A VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF HASKELL & WHITE LLP

Audit Committee Report to Stockholders
Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC designed to improve disclosures related to the functioning of corporate audit committees and to enhance the reliability and credibility of financial statements of public companies, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors submits the following report:
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee is composed of three directors, each of whom is independent within the meaning of NYSE MKT Rule 803A(2). The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors.
Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards and to issue reports thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. The Audit Committee has established a mechanism to receive, retain and process complaints on auditing, accounting and internal control issues, including the confidential, anonymous submission by employees, vendors, customers and others of concerns on questionable accounting and auditing matters.
In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the June 30, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards Update No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3200T. In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management.
Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024 filed with the SEC.
The Audit Committee also has appointed, subject to stockholder ratification, Haskell & White as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
November 7, 2024
Respectfully submitted,
THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
John C. Stiska, Chair
Katherine D. Crothall, Ph.D.

The Report of the Audit Committee should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates the Report of the Audit Committee therein by reference.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Stockholders wishing to include proposals in the proxy materials in relation to our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must submit the same in writing, by mail, first-class postage pre-paid, to the Company’s Corporate Secretary, which must be received at our executive office on or before July 10, 2025 (unless we hold our annual meeting more than 30 days earlier next year, in which case the deadline will be a reasonable period of time prior to the date we begin to print and send our proxy materials for the annual meeting). Our Board of Directors will review any stockholder proposals that are filed as required and, with the assistance of our Corporate Secretary, will determine whether such proposals meet the criteria prescribed by Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act for inclusion in our 2025 proxy solicitation materials or consideration at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

These procedures require, among other things, that any such proposal or nomination be received by the Corporate Secretary not less than 120 but no more than 150 calendar days in advance of the one year anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. For the annual meeting of stockholders in 2025, any proposal must be received between July 22, 2025 and August 21, 2025. Any stockholder considering submitting a nominee or proposal for action at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is directed to the Company’s Bylaws, which contain additional requirements as to submission of nominations for directors or proposals for stockholder action. Copies of the Bylaws may be obtained upon request to the Company’s Corporate Secretary. Stockholder proposals or nominations must include the specified information concerning the stockholder and the proposal or nominee as described in our Bylaws.
In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than October 20, 2025.
