PROXY STATEMENT

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Nutriband Inc. (the “Company”) is furnishing this proxy statement for the solicitation of proxies to be used at the Annual Shareholders Meeting (the “Annual Meeting”) of the Company to be held at 400 West Church Street, City National Hourglass Room, Orlando, FL 32801, on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 10:00 A.M. (local time). The proxy materials are being mailed on or about December 31, 2025 to shareholders of record on December 22, 2025 (the “Record Date”).

This proxy statement has been posted on the Internet and may be viewed at HTTPS://Nutriband.com/proxy.

The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy material and of reimbursing brokers, nominees and fiduciaries for the out-of-pocket and clerical expenses of transmitting copies of the proxy material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons will be borne by the Company. The Company does not intend to solicit proxies other than by use of the mail, but certain officers and employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, without additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or otherwise, to obtain proxies.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend our Annual Meeting, please take the time to either (i) vote by completing and mailing the proxy card enclosed with the Proxy Materials as soon as possible, (ii) vote via the Internet in accordance with the instructions on the proxy card or (iii) vote by telephone by using the toll-free number on the proxy card. If you elect to vote using the proxy card, please indicate on the card how you wish to vote, and sign and send it in the enclosed envelope. If you do return the proxy card and do not indicate how you wish to vote, your proxy card will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.

Annual Meeting Admission

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date may attend the Annual Meeting. If you attend, please note that you will be asked to present government-issued identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) and evidence of your share ownership of our common stock on the Record Date. Such evidence of ownership can be your proxy card. If your shares are held beneficially in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record and you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you will be required to present proof of your ownership of our common stock on the Record Date, such as a bank or brokerage account statement or voting instruction card, to be admitted to the Annual Meeting.

Quorum and Voting

Only holders of our common stock on the close of business on the December 22, 2025 Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote the shares that they held on that date at the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

As of the Record Date, there were 12,174,883 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “common stock”) outstanding. All references to “stockholders” herein shall mean holders of common stock collectively, unless otherwise stated. A simple majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our voting capital stock is required to be present in person or by proxy at the meeting for there to be a quorum for purposes of proceeding with the Annual Meeting, and in no event shall a quorum consist of less than a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. Seven directors will be elected by the Company’s shareholders of record at the Annual Meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote in the election. There are seven nominees and seven positions to be filled; this means that the seven individuals receiving the most votes will be elected. Holders of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.

The ratification of auditors will require the vote of a simple majority of the shares of our common stock present at the Annual Meeting by person or proxy. Abstentions and withheld votes have the effect of votes against these matters. Broker non-votes (shares of record held by a broker for which a proxy is not given) will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum but will not be counted as present for purposes of determining the vote on any matter considered at the Annual Meeting.

If a shareholder specifies how the proxy is to be voted with respect to any of the proposals for which a choice is provided, the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specifications. If a shareholder fails to so specify with respect to such proposals, the proxy will be voted “FOR” the nominees for directors contained in these proxy materials, and “FOR” the appointment of Sadler, Gibb and Associates, LLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

You may receive more than one copy of the proxy materials, this Proxy Statement and the proxy card or voting instruction card. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Similarly, if you are a stockholder of record and hold shares in a brokerage account, you will receive a copy of the proxy materials and a proxy card for shares held in your name and a voting instruction card for shares held in “street name.” Please follow the separate voting instructions that you received for your shares of common stock held in each of your different accounts to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before its use by delivering to our Secretary, at or before the taking of the vote at our Annual Meeting, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending our Annual Meeting and voting at such meeting. If not revoked, the proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions indicated on the proxy card.

Discretionary Voting Power

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for shareholder action at the Annual Meeting. On matters which may be raised at the Annual Meeting that are not covered by this proxy statement, the persons named in the proxy will have full discretionary authority to vote.

PROPOSAL ONE — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Seven (7) directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve terms expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are elected and qualified, or their earlier resignation or removal. Management’s nominees are listed below. All the nominees are currently serving as directors of the Company. All directors will be elected by holders of the Company’s common stock. If a nominee is unable to serve, which the Board of Directors has no reason to expect, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the balance of those named and, if they deem it advisable, for a substitute nominee selected by the Board of Directors.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Gareth Sheridan serves as Chief Executive Officer, and Serguei Melnik serves as our Chairman and President. Our Chairman leads the Board of Directors in its discussions and has such other duties as are prescribed by the Board. As Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sheridan is responsible for implementing the Company’s strategic and operating objectives and day-to-day decision-making related to such implementation.

The Board of Directors currently has three standing committees (audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance) that are chaired and composed entirely of directors who are independent under Nasdaq and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Given the role and scope of authority of these committees, and that a majority of the members of the Board are independent, the Board of Directors believes that its leadership structure is appropriate. We select directors as members of these committees with the expectation that they will be free of relationships that might interfere with the exercise of independent judgement.

Our Board of Directors is our Company’s ultimate management team, which is charged with the conduct of our business. Our Board of Directors also works with senior management and oversees its performance.

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. The number of directors is determined by our board of directors, subject to the terms of our Articles of incorporation and bylaws. Our board of directors currently consists of seven members, five of which are independent directors.

Meetings

Our Board of Directors held three meetings and acted by written consent eight times during fiscal 2025.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The board of directors has created three committees — the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee. Each of the committees has a charter which meets the Nasdaq Stock Market requirements and is composed of three independent directors.

Audit Committee

The audit committee is comprised of Mr. Hamilton, as chairman, Mr. Bujoreanu and Ms. Gram. We believe that Mark Hamilton qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The audit committee oversees, reviews, acts on and reports on various auditing and accounting matters to the board, including: the selection of our independent accountants, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent accountants, the performance of our independent accountants and our accounting practices, all as set forth in our audit committee charter. The Audit Committee met three times in fiscal 2025.

Report of the Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in its charter, which include the responsibility to assist our Board in its oversight of our accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal audit controls and procedures, the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and the performance of the independent auditor and our internal audit function. The Audit Committee is also required to prepare this report to be included in our annual Proxy Statement pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements and for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal controls and procedures to provide for compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for planning and carrying out a proper audit of our annual financial statements, reviews of our quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of each quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and other procedures.

The Audit Committee reviews our financial reporting process. In this context, the Audit Committee:

• has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2025;

• has discussed with Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC, our independent registered public accountants, the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; and

• has received the written disclosures and the letter from Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC required by PCAOB Rule 3526, as modified or supplemented, and has discussed with Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC, the independent accountant’s independence.

Based on this review and the discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended that our Board of Directors include the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also recommended the reappointment, subject to stockholder ratification, of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC as our independent registered public accountants for 2026.

This report is submitted on behalf of the members of the Audit Committee and shall not be deemed “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall it be incorporated by any general statement incorporating by reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under these Acts.`

(Chairman)

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee is comprised of Ms. Gram, as chairperson, Mr. Bujoreanu and Dr. Mancas. The compensation committee oversees the compensation of our chief executive officer and our other executive officers and reviews our overall compensation policies for employees generally as set forth in the audit committee charter. If so authorized by the board, the compensation committee may also serve as the granting and administrative committee under any option or other equity-based compensation plans which we may adopt. The compensation committee will not delegate its authority to fix compensation; however, as to officers who report to the chief executive officer, the compensation committee will consult with the chief executive officer, who may make recommendations to the compensation committee. Any recommendations by the chief executive officer are accompanied by an analysis of the basis for the recommendations. The committee will also discuss with the chief executive officer and other responsible officers the compensation policies for employees who are not officers. The compensation committee has the responsibilities and authority relating to the retention, compensation, oversight and funding of compensation consultants, legal counsel and other compensation advisers. The compensation committee members will consider the independence of such advisors before selecting or receiving advice from such advisors. The compensation committee met three times in fiscal 2025.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating and corporate governance committee, which is comprised of Dr. Mancas, as chairman, Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Bujoreanu, will identify, evaluate and recommend qualified nominees to serve on our board; develop and oversee our internal corporate governance processes, and maintain a management succession plan. The nominating and corporate governance committee met three times in fiscal 2025.

Risk Management

The Board has an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of our risks. The Compensation Committee of our Board is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Audit Committee of our Board oversees management of financial risks, under its charter it is to meet periodically and at least four times per year with management to review and assess the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the manner in which such risks are being monitored and controlled. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board is responsible for management of risks associated with the independence of the Board members and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board of Directors is informed about such risks.

Independent Directors

Five of our directors, Sergei Glinka, Mark Hamilton, Radu Bujoreanu, Stefani Mancas and Irina Gram are independent directors based on the NASDAQ definition of independent director.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our directors and executive officers.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers serve on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company that has an executive officer who serves on our Board or compensation committee. No member of our Board is an executive officer of a company in which one of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of that company.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain conflicts of interest exist and may continue to exist between the Company and its officers and directors due to the fact that each has other business interests to which they devote their primary attention. Each officer and director may continue to do so notwithstanding the fact that management time should be devoted to the business of the Company.

Certain conflicts of interest may exist between the Company and its management, and conflicts may develop in the future. The Company has not established policies or procedures for the resolution of current or potential conflicts of interest between the Company, its officers and directors or affiliated entities. There can be no assurance that management will resolve all conflicts of interest in favor of the Company, and conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through the exercise by management their best judgment as may be consistent with their fiduciary duties. Management will try to resolve conflicts to the best advantage of all concerned.

Review and approval of related party transactions

Our related parties include our directors, director nominees, executive officers, holders of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock and the foregoing persons’ immediate family members. We review relationships and transactions in which the Company and our related parties are participants to determine whether such related persons have a direct or indirect material interest. As required under SEC rules, transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to a related party are disclosed in the appropriate SEC filing. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and approves any related party transaction that is required to be disclosed. Set forth above is information concerning transactions with our related parties that is required to be disclosed under SEC rules.

PROPOSAL TWO — RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS

Our Board selected Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC as the independent auditor to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for 2025. Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC is a registered public accounting firm.

Our Board of Directors is asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC as our independent auditor for fiscal 2026. Although not required by law or our Bylaws, our Board of Directors is submitting the selection of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. A representative of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC is not expected to attend the Annual Meeting. If a representative does attend, the representative will have the opportunity to make a statement and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The shares represented by properly executed proxies will be voted for ratification of the appointment of Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC as independent accountants for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2026. The Company is advised by said firm that neither the firm nor any of its members now has, or during the past three years had, any direct financial interest or material indirect financial interest or any connection with the Company.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF AND RATIFIES THE APPOINTMENT OF SADLER, GIBB & ASSOCIATES, LLC AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERERD PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, 2025.

PROPOSAL THREE — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and related SEC rules require that we provide our stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement (the “Say-on-Pay”) vote.

Our executive compensation program is designed to (1) align executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders; (2) attract, motivate and retain executive officers; and (3) reward the achievement of our annual, long-term and strategic goals.

The Board of Directors is asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our executive compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

Accordingly, the Board of Directors will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

The Say-on-Pay vote is advisory, and therefore is not binding on us, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the shares present or represented and voting at the Annual Meeting is required to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Abstentions are not votes cast and will have no effect on the foregoing vote. Broker non-votes are not votes cast and therefore will not affect the outcome of this Proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that stockholders approve the following advisory resolution at the annual meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the named executive officers of Nutriband Inc., as disclosed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission compensation tables and related narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

Although this vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR”
THE APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

PROPOSAL FOUR — ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE
ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our Board at this time recommends that stockholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every year. We believe that annual say-on-pay votes are generally considered a corporate governance best practice and align with the voting policies and recommendations of leading institutional investors and proxy advisors.

Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, or to abstain. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. This advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is not binding on the Board. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE TO CONDUCT FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EVERY YEAR.
