TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

Following rapid industry growth in 2021 and 2022, largely driven by government spending around the pandemic, the marketplace has been navigating a prolonged correction, retreating back to, and in some markets below, pre-pandemic levels. Boxlight’s financial results mirror this broader trend, with 2024 full-year revenues decreasing 23% compared to 2023. In addition, Boxlight’s net loss for 2024 was $28.3 million, compared to $39.2 million for the prior year. However, we maintained positive Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the year, despite the revenue decrease, due to our improved operating efficiency.

Encouragingly, our primary smart flat screen market is moving from a period of initial deployment to one of technology refresh. Technology continues to play an increasingly important role in modern classrooms, and modern applications require more current technologies. This dynamic benefits Boxlight. With the broadest portfolio in the industry, a significant installed customer base, and a global presence, we believe we are well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our customers with upgrades, technology refreshes, and, when appropriate, new installations.

Simultaneously, our initiatives to expand our offerings into ancillary spaces, like school safety, have been well-received by customers, and we believe these initiatives bolster our ability to navigate the challenging market conditions and our competitive position relative to our peers. School safety remains of paramount importance to education administrators, and this trend is growing. We offer integrated and powerful solutions that facilitate safer facilities and enable broad communication capabilities.

We remain optimistic that, as the industry adjusts and ultimately improves, we will see modest growth beginning in the second half of 2025.

Our hard work over the past year to try to position Boxlight as the most efficient operator in the industry has resulted in reduced net loss and sustained Adjusted EBITDA profitability despite the revenue headwinds. Boxlight delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million for the year, down from the $12.6 million for the prior year, but this represents an encouraging achievement considering the nearly $41 million decrease in revenue. We have streamlined all facets of our operations and synergized our product lines, resulting in substantial cost savings, which have enabled us to maintain profitability as measured by Adjusted EBITDA. Continued adjustments to our operating structure to drive consistent profitability and industry leading efficiency is now a core part of our culture.

We continue to expand and enhance our product portfolio to meet the needs of our customers, having recently launched the Clevertouch Impact Max 2 interactive flat panel, while also forming partnerships with leading third party emergency management platforms for integrated school safety solutions.

These efforts, and our progress, are just the beginning. Much work remains. However, we believe we are well positioned for both current opportunities and future growth for the organization.

At December 31, 2024, our balance sheet position included $8.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, $43.3 million in inventory and $1.3 million in working capital. We continue to work toward long-term solutions to address our debt and enhance our balance sheet.

This has indeed been a challenging period for the entire industry, and Boxlight is not immune. We appreciate the patience and loyalty of our shareholders, and continue to believe that better days are in the future, and that Boxlight is well-positioned to deliver consistent profitability in current conditions, and meaningful improvements as market conditions improve.

Sincerely,

Dale Strang

Chief Executive Officer

Board of Directors and Corporate Governance

Below is biographical information about each of our directors:

Dale Strang. Mr. Strang has been a director of our Company since August 2017 and became our Interim Chief Executive Officer in January 2024 and subsequently Chief Executive Officer on June 7, 2024. Prior to becoming Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Strang served as Chairman of our Compensation Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee. Most recently, he served as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Johnson Controls International plc, a global producer of building products and systems, from June 2018 to July 2023. He has served as a Senior Vice President of Media Strategy & Operations at Healthline Networks since 2015. Mr. Strang was President and Chief Executive officer of SpinMedia from 2013 to 2015. Mr. Strang was the Chief Executive Officer and President at Viximo from 2010 to 2012. Mr. Strang has over 25 years of media experience with successful businesses including IDG, Ziff-Davis and IGN/Fox Interactive. Mr. Strang has more than 18 years of experience in consumer technology and video game publishing, including 14 years at the senior management level. He served as Executive Vice President and General Manager, Media Division, of IGN Entertainment. In this position, he oversaw advertising sales, marketing and the production of editorial content for all IGN entertainment media properties. We believe Mr. Strang’s experience in business, advertising and marketing will add value and insight to our board of directors.

James Mark Elliott. Mr. Elliott has served on our board of directors since 2014. Mr. Elliot also serves as a consultant to provide sales, marketing, management and related consulting services to the Company. Prior to 2014, Mr. Elliot served as our Chief Commercial Officer from January 2020 until January 2021. He previously served as our Chief Executive Officer from September 2014 until January 2020. From 2012 to June 2017, Mr. Elliott has also served as the President of Genesis, which was dissolved and merged into Boxlight in June 2017. From 2005 through 2012, he was the President of Promethean, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of whiteboards and interactive learning devices and led the team that grew Promethean in the Americas from $5 million in revenue to $250 million, with over 1,300,000 interactive whiteboards installed around the world. Throughout his career, Mr. Elliott has held senior executive roles, including president, senior vice president or director roles with Apple Computer, Lawson Software, E3 Corporation, PowerCerv Technologies, Tandem Computers, and Unisys/Burroughs. Mr. Elliott received a BBA in Economics from the University of North Georgia and a Master of Science degree in Industrial Management from Georgia Institute of Technology. Based on Mr. Elliott’s position as the Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and Genesis, and his executive level experience in interactive learning devices and computer technology industries, our board of directors believes that Mr. Elliott has the appropriate set of skills to serve as a member of our board of directors.

Michael Pope. Mr. Pope has served as a director of our Company since September 2014. From July 2015 until November 2020, Mr. Pope also served as our president and from March 2020 to January 2024 served as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. On January 12, 2024 Mr. Pope ceased being our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, but remains as a non-executive member of our board of directors. Mr. Pope currently serves as the manager of Yalecrest Partners, LLC, and Yalecrest GP 1 LLC, the investment advisor and general partner, respectively, to Yalecrest Fund I, LP, an Atlanta based private mergers and acquisition and private investment fund, and as a member of the investment advisor and general partner of Yalecrest’s predecessor, Skypeak Fund I LP, a private equity fund focused on strategic investment opportunities. From October 2011 to October 2016, Mr. Pope served as Managing Director at Vert Capital, a Los Angeles based merchant bank, and its affiliates, managing portfolio holdings in the education, consumer products, technology and digital media sectors. Prior to joining Vert Capital, from May 2008 to October 2011, Mr. Pope was Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer for the Taylor Family in Salt Lake City, managing family investment holdings in consumer products, professional services, real estate and education. Mr. Pope also held positions including Senior SEC Reporting Accountant at Omniture (previously listed on Nasdaq and acquired by Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) in 2009) and Assurance Associate at Grant Thornton. Mr. Pope serves on the boards of various organizations including Focus Universal, Inc. (Nasdaq: FCUV) and Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVOS). Mr. Pope earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in accounting from Brigham Young University with academic honors. Our board of directors believes Mr. Pope’s industry experience and knowledge of Boxlight makes him a valuable member of our board of directors.

Charles P. Amos. Mr. Amos has been a director of our Company since June 2020 and is a 30-year veteran of the education market and has served in a number of leadership and board positions over that time. Most recently Mr. Amos served as the CEO of GuideK12, a K-12 education focused data analytics company from June 2012 to February of 2020. GuideK12 was acquired by Forecast 5 in February of 2020. He has been CEO of The Amos Group since August of 2007. Prior to 2008, Mr. Amos served as the CEO and Chairman of Atomic Learning (now called Hoonuit), as well as serving in sales leadership positions at Apple and EdTech, LLC. Mr. Amos received a B.S. in Business with an emphasis on finance. Mr. Amos’ 30 years of experience in the US and international K-12 market and his long track record as a successful entrepreneur makes him ideally suited to and valued as a member of our board of directors.

Rudolph F. Crew. Dr. Crew has been a director of our Company since April 2015. Since August 2013, Dr. Crew has served as the President of Medgar Evers College. From July 2012 to July 2013, he was the chief education officer at Oregon Education Investment Board, overseeing the PK-16 system. From September 2011 to July 2012, Dr. Crew served as the president of K12 Division at Revolution Prep, a company that offers preparation courses for the SAT and ACT standardized achievement tests. Prior to that, from January 2009 to July 2013, he was a professor at USC Rossier School of Education, teaching graduate school courses. From January 2009 to September 2011, Dr. Crew also served as the president of Global Partnership Schools, an organization that offers planning support services and collaborative programs to public schools and school districts. Dr. Crew received his bachelor’s degree in management from Babson College in 1972. He earned his master’s degree in urban education in 1973 and his doctoral degree in educational administration in 1978, both from the University of Massachusetts. We believe that Dr. Crew’s in-depth knowledge and extensive experience in education field make him a valuable member of our board of directors.

Tiffany Kuo. Mrs. Kuo has been a director of our Company since September 2014. She currently is leading and shaping product development for Microsoft’s healthcare business. Additionally, she is also a Senior Venture Partner at Pioneer Fund, leading investments in the VC’s later-stage investments. Prior to that, from 2011 until 2014 and then from 2017 until 2020, Mrs. Kuo worked at Deloitte Consulting where she built and launched digital health and life sciences innovations. She also co-founded a Ycombinator-backed personalized health start-up, Multiply Labs. Ms. Kuo graduated from Rice University with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering in 2011 and obtained an MBA from the Sloan Master of Business Administration Program at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We believe that Mrs. Kuo’s experience in business strategy, product, and operations adds value and insight to our board of directors.

NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR

Pursuant to the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, our board of directors has fixed the number of directors at seven. Our board of directors currently consists of six directors, with one vacancy following the resignation of R. Wayne Jackson, 67, on May 23, 2025, for personal reasons. Mr. Jackson’s resignation did not result from a disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. The Company is grateful for Mr. Jackson’s years of service and contributions to our board of directors. Our board of directors is currently searching for a replacement to fill this vacancy.

The members of our board of directors comprise a single class, and at each annual meeting of shareholders all directors are elected. The directors elected at the Annual Meeting will serve until the annual meeting of shareholders in 2026, and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Our board of directors may fill directorships resulting from vacancies and may increase or decrease the number of directors. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, our board of directors has nominated the following six nominees, who are all current members of the board of directors, for election as directors at the Annual Meeting:

Each such nominee has consented to be named herein and to serve as a director, if elected. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders have no right to vote cumulatively for directors. The six nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast “for” will be elected.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, Dr. Rudolph F. Crew, Tiffany Kuo and Charles P. Amos are our independent directors. As a Nasdaq listed company, we believe that the foregoing directors satisfy the definition of “independent director” under Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2). In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each of these non- employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence. As required under applicable Nasdaq rules, we anticipate that our independent directors will meet on a regular basis as often as necessary to fulfill their responsibilities, including at least annually in executive session without the presence of non-independent directors and management.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

Our board of directors has chosen to elect an independent, non-executive Chairman of the board of directors separate from our Chief Executive Officer. We believe the independent Chairman of the Board plays an important governance leadership role that enhances long-term shareholder value. In addition, we believe separating the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus more on our day-to-day business and other traditional Chief Executive Officer roles, while allowing the Chairman to lead our Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and oversight of management. Our Board recognizes the time, effort, and energy that the Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to their position in the current business environment, as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman, particularly as our Board’s oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Mr. R. Wayne Jackson held the position of non-executive Chairman of the board of directors from January 4, 2024 until his resignation from the board of directors on May 23, 2025.

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

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

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

The board of directors held 13 meetings during 2024. During 2024, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the board of directors and board committees of which the director was a member.

It is the policy of the board of directors that all directors should attend the annual meetings in person or by teleconference. Six directors attended the Company’s 2024 annual meeting of shareholders. 

Audit Committee. According to its charter, the Audit Committee is to consist of at least three members, each of whom shall be a non-employee director who has been determined by the board of directors to meet the independence requirements under Nasdaq rules, and also Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the SEC, subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 10A-3(c). A copy of our Audit Committee charter is located under the “Corporate Governance” tab on our website at www.boxlight.com. At present, the Audit Committee members consist of Ms. Kuo, and Dr. Crew. Dale Strang resigned from the Audit Committee on January 4, 2024, and, on May 23 2025, R. Wayne Jackson resigned as a director of the Company. All members of the Audit Committee are independent directors. The Audit Committee will assist the board of directors by overseeing the performance of the independent auditors and the quality and integrity of our internal accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices. The Audit Committee is responsible for retaining (subject to shareholder ratification) and, as necessary, terminating the engagement of, the independent auditors, annually reviewing the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditors and the audit plan, fees and audit results, and pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be performed by the auditors and related fees. Our board of directors had previously determined Mr. Jackson met the requirements of being an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, and, as a result, he served as chair of the Audit Committee. However, as a result of Mr. Jackson’s resignation, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires, among other things, that audit committees have at least three members and that at least one member have past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual's financial sophistication.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee members are Ms. Kuo, Mr. Amos and Dr. Crew, with Ms. Kuo serving as chair of the Compensation Committee. Dale Strang resigned from the Compensation Committee on January 4, 2024. All members of the Compensation Committee are independent directors. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the board of directors concerning salaries and incentive compensation for our officers, including our principal executive officer, and employees and administers our stock option plans. The Compensation Committee provides assistance to our board of directors in relation to programs and practices with respect to the compensation of our executive officers and directors, as described in the Compensation Committee’s charter. The Compensation Committee has the authority, in its sole discretion, to retain compensation consultants to assist the Compensation Committee in overseeing our compensation programs. None of the members of the Committee has been an officer or employee of the Company, and our board of directors has considered and determined that all of the members are “independent”, as that term is defined under Nasdaq and SEC rules, and otherwise meet the criteria set forth in the Compensation Committee’s Charter. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews and discusses with the chief executive officer the compensation of the other executive officers, and consults with the chief executive officer in evaluating the performance of the other executive officers. In addition, the chief executive officer may make recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation for all of the other executive officers, and the Compensation Committee considers these recommendations in its deliberations for the other executive officers. Pursuant to the Compensation Committee’s charter, the Committee may delegate any or all of its responsibilities to one or more subcommittees of the Compensation Committee comprised of one or more members of the Compensation Committee. A copy of our Compensation Committee charter is located under the “Corporate Governance” tab on our website at www.boxlight.com.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee members are Mr. Amos, Dr. Crew and Ms. Kuo, with Mr. Amos serving as chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Dale Strang resigned from the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee on January 4, 2024. All members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee assists the board of directors in identifying qualified individuals to become board members, in determining the composition of the board of directors and in monitoring the process to assess the effectiveness of the board of directors. A copy of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee charter is located under the “Corporate Governance” tab on our website at www.boxlight.com.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

●         Supervise and review the affairs of the Company as they relate to the compensation and benefits of directors of the Company.

●         Review and discuss with management the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies.

NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

●         Recommend corporate governance guidelines and a code of conduct applicable to the Company.

●         Provide oversight in the evaluation of the performance of the board of directors and each board committee.

CONSIDERATIONS IN EVALUATING DIRECTOR NOMINEES

The board of directors is responsible for overseeing the Company’s business, in accordance with its fiduciary duty to the Company’s shareholders. This significant responsibility requires highly skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. There are general requirements for service on the board of directors that are applicable to directors and there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the board of directors as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the qualifications of director candidates individually and in the broader context of the board of directors’ overall composition and the Company’s current and future needs. In recruiting and evaluating new director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses candidates’ independence, as well as the candidates’ background and experience, and current board needs. Each of the Company’s directors possesses high ethical standards, acts with integrity, and exercises careful, mature judgment. In addition, our directors are knowledgeable and experienced in one or more business, governmental, or civic endeavors, which further qualifies them for service as members of the Board. Alignment with our shareholders is important in building long-term value for the Company over time. In addition, in determining whether to nominate an existing director for re-election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers and reviews the existing director’s past attendance at board and committee meetings, and the director’s participation in, and contributions to, the activities of the board of directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee endeavors to have a board of directors representing diverse experience at policy-making levels in business, education, or areas that are relevant to the Company’s business.

SHAREHOLDER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NOMINATIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

We do not currently have a procedure by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the board of directors. Prior to the listing of our Class A common stock on Nasdaq, as a private company with a limited shareholder base, we did not believe that it was important to provide such a procedure. However, as a publicly traded Nasdaq company with the requirement to hold annual shareholder meetings, we may consider implementing such a policy in the future.

COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Shareholders can mail communications to the board of directors, c/o Secretary, Boxlight Corporation, 2750 Premiere Parkway, Suite 900, Duluth, Georgia 30097, who will forward the correspondence to each addressee.

BY EMAIL   [email protected]		BY WRITING   2750 Premiere Parkway, Suite 900 Duluth, Georgia 30097

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES AND 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 copy of the code will be made available on the Corporate Governance section of our website, which is located at www.boxlight.com. 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.

Insider TRADING POLICY AND ANTI-HEDGING POLICY

We have adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, and employees that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and Nasdaq listing standards. Our policy, among other things, prohibits persons covered by the policy from trading in the Company’s securities while in possession of material nonpublic information relating to the Company, other than in connection with a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted in compliance with the policy. The policy also provides for blackout periods and pre-clearance procedures for directors, officers, and other persons subject to such procedures. In addition, our policy prohibits directors, officers, and certain other employees from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions or similar arrangements with respect to Company securities or pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Legal PROCEEDINGS

Currently, there are no material proceedings to which any of our directors, officers, affiliates, any owners of record or beneficially of more than five percent of any class of voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.

ROLE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face, while our board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Our board of directors does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our board of directors as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the board of directors that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, our board of directors is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure, including a determination of the nature and level of risk appropriate for us. Our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking or promote behaviors contra to our Code of Business Conduct.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our non-employee directors receive annual cash compensation consisting of a $35,000 retainer. There is no per-meeting fee for Board of Directors meetings.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

NOMINEES

VOTE REQUIRED

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has selected and appointed the firm Forvis Mazars, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to examine our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Ratification of the selection of Forvis Mazars, LLP is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. The board of directors is submitting the selection to our stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time after the Annual Meeting if it determines such a change would be in the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

FEES PAID TO THE INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The following table presents fees for professional audit services and other services rendered to us by FORVIS MAZARS, LLP for our fiscal years ended 2024 and 2023.

AUDIT COMMITTEE POLICY ON PRE-APPROVAL OF AUDIT AND PERMISSIBLE NON-AUDIT SERVICES OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

In accordance with the SEC’s auditor independence rules, the Audit Committee has established the following policies and procedures by which it approves in advance any audit or permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent registered public accounting firm.

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

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

The Audit Committee will not grant approval for:

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

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

VOTE REQUIRED 

The affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at our 2025 Annual Meeting is required to ratify Proposal No. 2.

THE TEXT OF THE RESOLUTION IN RESPECT OF PROPOSAL 3 IS AS FOLLOWS:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K in this Proxy Statement in the section entitled “Executive Compensation,” including the compensation tables and narrative discussions set forth therein.”

ADVISORY VOTE ONLY

This vote is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the board of directors. However, the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of this vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on this proposal.

VOTE REQUIRED

Approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers is an ordinary resolution and must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the 2025 Annual Meeting in order to be approved.

OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS

The following table sets forth information concerning outstanding equity awards held by each of our named executive officers as of December 31, 2024:

PAY VS PERFORMANCE

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of our Company, illustrating pay versus performance. The summary compensation table totals and compensation actually paid amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to our named executive officers during the applicable years.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

We generally seek to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore do not specifically align our performance measures with “compensation actually paid” (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table.

Proposal 4: Amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares of Class A common stock to 25 million

Our board of directors believes it is in the Company’s best interests and the best interests of our shareholders to authorize an increase in the number of our authorized shares of Class A common stock and a corresponding increase in the total number of our shares of authorized stock.

Background and purpose of the proposal

On February 14, 2025, we effected a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”) and proportionately decreased the number of total authorized shares of Class A common stock from 18,750,000 shares to 3,750,000 shares. The purpose of the Reverse Stock Split was to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of Class A common stock for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On February 19, 2025, we sold, in a private placement (the “Private Placement”), an aggregate of (i) 260,000 shares of Class A common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,063,000 shares of Class A common stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,323,000 shares of Class A common stock (the warrants described in clause (iii) hereinafter referred to as the “2025 Common Warrants”). Each of the 2025 Common Warrants has an initial exercise price of $2.13 per share (subject to adjustments as set forth therein), is exercisable six months following the date of issuance and will expire five and a half years from the date of issuance.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split and the Private Placement, on June 11, 2025, the Record Date for the Annual Meeting, we had [__] shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding, no shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, [__] shares of Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding and [__] shares of Series C preferred stock issued and outstanding.

On June 11, 2025, we had reserved an aggregate of [__] shares of Class A common stock for future issuance, consisting of (i) [__] shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance upon the settlement of outstanding restricted stock units; (ii) [__] shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants outstanding at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share; (iii) [__] shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of all other outstanding warrants at a weighed exercise price of $[__] per share (excluding the 2025 Common Warrants, as further discussed below); and (iv) [__] shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $[__] per share.

However, we have not yet reserved any shares of Class A common stock for issuance upon the exercise of the Series B and Series C preferred stock. Pursuant to a recent amendment to the certificates of designations for the Series B and C preferred stock series, those series are not convertible into Class A common stock, and the Company need not reserve or keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock any shares related to the possible future conversion of such shares of preferred stock, until the earlier to occur of the Company amending its articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable thereunder to at least 25,000,000 shares, or November 12, 2025. As of June 11, 2025, there was an aggregate of [__] shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the conversion of outstanding Series A, Series B and Series C preferred stock.

In addition, we have not yet reserved any shares of Class A common stock for issuance upon the exercise of the 2025 Common Warrants, as they will not be exercisable until August 19, 2025. However, our number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock remaining under our Articles of Incorporation would not be sufficient to issue shares should all of the 2025 Common Warrants be exercised.

In order to continue to operate our business, we expect to need to raise additional capital, whether to refinance our outstanding indebtedness, satisfy redemption demands by the holders of our Series B or Series C Preferred Stock or to fund working capital needs. If the Company’s shareholders do not approve the Amendment (as defined below) at the Annual Meeting, the Company may be limited in its ability to raise additional capital through sales of Class A common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Class A common stock.

Furthermore, the Company uses awards of restricted stock units, stock options and other equity awards to attract, retain and incentivize directors, executive officers and employees. However, in June 2023, Mr. Pope voluntarily agreed to forfeit 62,299 of RSUs that were granted to him during 2023, equal to a grant date fair value of $146,411, due to the limited availability of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the Company's Articles of Incorporation. In addition, in June 2023, each of Mr. Pope, Mr. Starkey, Mr. Nance, Mr. Marklew, and Mr. Wiggins voluntarily agreed to forfeit 219,702, 29,297, 29,297, 29,297 and 14,448 stock options, respectively, that were granted to them during 2023, equal to a grant date fair value of $358,652, $28,336, $28,336, $28,336 and $13,974, respectively, also due to the limited availability of shares of Class A common stock available for issuance under the Company's Articles of Incorporation. As noted above, we had reserved an aggregate of [__] shares underlying all such awards outstanding as of June 11, 2025. We believe it important to be able to continue such equity awards to further align the interest of our directors, executive officers and employees with those of our shareholders. For this reason, in addition to the reasons above, we believe an increase in the authorized shares is critical to the Company’s operations.

Our board of directors is asking our shareholders to approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Class A common stock from 3,750,000 to 25,000,000 and a corresponding increase to the total number of authorized shares of stock from 103,750,000 to 125,000,000 (the “Amendment”). If approved by the shareholders, we expect to file the Amendment shortly after such approval. The Amendment would become effective upon filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

Our board of directors believes it is critical for our shareholders to authorize an increase in the number of our authorized shares of Class A common stock and a corresponding increase in the total number of our shares of authorized stock so that the Company can reserve for issuance shares of Class A common stock for the exercise of the 2025 Common Warrants, and the conversion of the Series B and Series C preferred stock, as well as offer the Company the flexibility to raise additional capital through sales of

Class A common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Class A common stock.

The Amendment could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect or delay or prevent a change in control of the Company by providing the Company the capability to engage in actions that would be dilutive to a potential acquiror, to pursue alternative transactions, or to otherwise increase the potential cost to acquire control of the Company. Thus, the proposed amendment may have the effect of discouraging future unsolicited takeover attempts.

The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock will not change the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding, nor will it have any immediate dilutive effect or change the rights of current holders of the Company’s Class A common stock. However, the issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock authorized by the Amendment may occur at times or under circumstances as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share, book value per share or the percentage voting or ownership interest of the current holders of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Once the Amendment is approved, no further action by the shareholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of additional shares of Class A common stock unless required by law or the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association on which the Class A common stock is then listed or quoted. Under the Amendment, each of the newly authorized shares of Class A common stock will have the same rights and privileges as currently authorized Class A common stock. Adoption of the Amendment will not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding Class common stock of the Company nor will it change the par value of the Class A common stock, which will remain $0.0001 par value per share.

The text of the form of amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, which would be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to effect the increase in the authorized shares of Class A common stock and the corresponding increase to the total authorized shares of stock, is set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement. The text of the form of Amendment accompanying this proxy statement is, however, subject to amendment to reflect any changes that may be required by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada or that our board of directors may determine to be necessary or advisable ultimately to comply with applicable law and to effect the increase in authorized shares of Class A common stock and the corresponding increase in total authorized shares of stock.

VOTE REQUIRED

Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock. We believe this proposal is a “routine” matter under Nasdaq continued listing rules, and, accordingly, brokers are allowed to vote on Proposal 4. However, abstentions and, in the event that Proposal 4 is deemed “non-routine” under Nasdaq continued listing rules, broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this Proposal.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOLDING SHARES AS A SHAREHOLDER OF RECORD AND AS A BENEFICIAL OWNER?

SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD (SHARES REGISTERED IN YOUR NAME):

You hold your shares directly and may vote your shares in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card.

BENEFICIAL OWNERS (SHARES REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF YOUR BROKER, BANK OR OTHER NOMINEE):

If your shares of our Class A common stock are held by a broker, bank, or other nominee (in “street name”), you will receive instructions from them on how to vote your shares. If your shares are held by a broker and you do not give the broker specific instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker may vote your shares at its discretion on “routine” matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. However, your shares will not be voted on any “non-routine” matters. An absence of voting instructions on any “non-routine” matters will result in a “broker non-vote.”

We believe the following proposals are “routine” matters under Nasdaq rules to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting:

All other matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine” matters.

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES?

Abstentions and broker-non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the votes for Proposals 1, 2 and 3 set forth in the Proxy Statement. However, abstentions and, in the event that Proposal 4 is deemed “non-routine” under Nasdaq continued listing rules, broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote “against” Proposal 4.

An abstention represents the action by a shareholder to refrain from voting “for” or “against” a proposal. “Broker non-votes” represent votes that could have been cast on a particular matter by a broker, as a shareholder of record, but that were not cast because the broker (i) lacked discretionary voting authority on the matter and did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares or (ii) had discretionary voting authority but nevertheless refrained from voting on the matter. 

WHAT IS A QUORUM?

Under our amended and restated bylaws, a quorum at all meetings of our shareholders requires 45% of the holders of our shares of capital stock entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy.

HOW MANY VOTES ARE NEEDED FOR APPROVAL OF EACH PROPOSAL?

Proposal 1 requires a plurality of the combined voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote to elect each nominee as a director. Each of Proposal 2 and Proposal 3 requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote for approval of each proposal. . Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock. Accordingly, abstentions and, in the event that Proposal 4 is deemed “non-routine” under Nasdaq continued listing rules, broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this Proposal.

HOW ARE PROXIES SOLICITED FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING AND WHO IS PAYING FOR SUCH SOLICITATION?

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors and executive officers and persons who own beneficially more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports of initial statements of ownership and statements of changes in ownership of our Common Stock with the SEC. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on the information furnished to the Company, all directors, executive officers, and 10% shareholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the late Form 4 filings by each of Mr. Nance, Mr. Marklew, and Mr. Wiggins for exempt transactions with respect to shares of stock withheld to pay the employee’s tax obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units on May 30, 2024.

Supplemental Information about Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional insight and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and decision-making surrounding operations, we supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, both non-GAAP financial measures of earnings.

EBITDA represents net loss before income tax expense, interest expense, net, and depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, adjusted for stock compensation expense and changes in fair value of derivative liabilities, purchase accounting impact for fair valuing inventory and deferred revenue, impairment of goodwill, and severance charges. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as financial measures to evaluate the profitability and efficiency of our business model. We use these non-GAAP financial measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of our business. These adjustments, and the non-GAAP financial measure that is derived from them, provide supplemental information to analyze our operations between periods and over time. We find this especially useful when reviewing results of operations, which include large non-cash amortizations of intangibles assets from acquisitions. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The following table contains reconciliations of net losses to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods presented.

December 31, 2024 and 2023 to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
