Sharps Technology Urges Shareholders to Approve the Proposals in connection with the Special Meeting on July 15, 2024
All shareholders of record as of May 17, 2024 are eligible to vote
Final votes must be cast by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on July 12, 2024
NEW YORK, July 3, 2024 – Sharps Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: “STSS” and “STSSW’) (the “Company”), an innovative medical device and pharmaceutical packaging company offering patented, best-in-class syringe products, encourages its shareholders to participate actively in the upcoming special meeting of stockholders to be held on July 15, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. eastern time.
The Board of Directors emphasizes the importance of this shareholders’ vote, specifically so that the Company can achieve its goal of passing the three proposals as listed and explained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on June 26, 2024. The Company encourages you to vote, even if you no longer own the shares but were a shareholder of record on the record date of May 17, 2024.
Failure to secure the requisite number of votes to achieve the Company’s goal of passing these three proposals may materially impair the Company from executing essential business matters and may limit the Company’s ability to operate successfully in the future, while also prohibiting the Company from conducting important business matters such as: (1) increasing the authorized number of shares of common stock, if required for future equity transactions; (2) in its discretion, to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, at a ratio of up to 1-for-8, if required to maintain our Nasdaq listing; and (3) to issue securities in non-public offerings where the maximum discount will be equivalent to a discount not to exceed 20% below the market price of the Company’s common stock.
The passing of the three proposals mentioned above are extremely important for the Company to continue executing its business plan. The Board of Directors urges shareholders to vote in favor of these proposals, as the Board of Directors believes passing these proposals is in the Company’s best interest.
How to vote or how to change your vote:
Shareholders of record as of May 17, 2024, can vote or change their vote using the instructions in the proxy materials received via email or mail around June 26, 2024. If you have not received or located your proxy materials, please contact your brokerage firm or the Company at (631) 574-4436 or [email protected], for your proxy control number.
How do I vote and will my shares be voted if I do not vote?
If you are a stockholder of record, there are three ways to vote:
| (1) | By Internet at www.proxyvote.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on July 12, 2024 (have your 16-digit stockholder control number, which can be found on your proxy card, in hand when you access the website); | |
| (2) | By toll-free telephone at 1-800-690-6903, until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on July 12, 2024 (have your 16-digit stockholder control number, which can be found on your proxy card, in hand when you call); or | |
| (3) | Online during the Special Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STSS2024SM. You will need your 16-digit stockholder control number, which can be found on your proxy card, in hand when you vote online during the Special Meeting. |
May I change or revoke my proxy?
If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on July 12, 2024. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:
| ● | if you received a proxy card, by signing a new proxy card with a date later than your previously delivered proxy and submitting it as instructed above; | |
| ● | by re-voting by Internet or by telephone as instructed above; | |
| ● | by notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or | |
| ● | by attending the Special Meeting and voting virtually. Attending the Special Meeting virtually will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy. You must specifically request at the Special Meeting that it be revoked. |
Your most current vote, whether by telephone, Internet or proxy card, is the vote that will be counted.
Your proxy will be voted according to your instructions. If you are a stockholder of record and do not vote via the Internet or telephone or by returning a signed proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you virtually attend the Special Meeting and vote your shares online. If you vote via the Internet or telephone and do not specify contrary voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board on all matters, and in the discretion of proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment, continuation or postponement thereof. Similarly, if you sign and submit your proxy card with no instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board on all matters, and in the discretion of proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment, continuation or postponement thereof. We know of no other business to be considered at the Special Meeting.
Voting will remain open until 11:59 p.m. ET on July 12, 2024.
We urge you to vote TODAY.
