PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

This Proxy Statement (this “Proxy Statement”), along with the accompanying Notice of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”), contains information about the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Oblong, Inc., including any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. We are holding the Annual Meeting at 11:30 AM MST on December 17, 2025, at the offices of Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, located at 1144 Fifteenth Street, Suite 3100, Denver, Colorado 80202. Directions to the Annual Meeting can be obtained by telephoning us at 303-640-3838. In this Proxy Statement, we refer to Oblong, Inc. as “we,” “our,” “us,” “Oblong,” or “the Company.”

This Proxy Statement relates to the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting.

On or about [ ∙ ], 2025, we will send this Proxy Statement, the attached Notice, and the enclosed proxy card to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Although not part of the Proxy Statement, we will also send along with this Proxy Statement our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for Our Annual Meeting to Be Held on December 17, 2025:

This Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available for viewing, printing, and downloading at www.proxyvote.com. We are providing a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, with the accompanying proxy materials. Additionally, you can find a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at http://www.sec.gov or on our website at www.oblong.com/company/investor-relations.

Record Date and Voting Securities

Only holders of record of our common stock (“Common Stock”) as of the close of business on October 31, 2025 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 3,207,210 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote per share of Common Stock held by such holder on each matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Quorum

A quorum is present at the Annual Meeting if one-third (1/3) of the shares of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on the Record Date are represented in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

Table of Contents

For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions, broker "non-votes," and with respect to the election of directors, “withhold” votes will be treated as shares that are present. An abstention is the voluntary act of not voting by a stockholder who is present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Voting Procedures

Stockholders have the option to vote by telephone, internet, or mail by following the instructions on the attached proxy card. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO RECORD YOUR VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR INTERNET. These voting methods are convenient and save significant postage and processing costs. In addition, when you vote by telephone or internet prior to the meeting date, your vote is recorded immediately, and there is no risk that postal delays will cause your vote to arrive late and therefore not be counted.

Internet. Vote over the internet at www.proxyvote.com, the website for internet voting. Simply follow the instructions on your proxy card, and you can confirm that your vote has been properly recorded. If you vote on the internet, you can request electronic delivery of future proxy materials. Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 PM EST on December 16, 2025.

Telephone. Vote by telephone by following the instructions on your proxy card. Easy-to-follow voice prompts allow you to vote your shares and confirm that your vote has been properly recorded. Telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 PM EST on December 16, 2025.

Mail. If you received a proxy card by mail, vote by mail by completing, signing, dating, and returning your proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. If you vote by mail and your proxy card is returned unsigned, then your vote cannot be counted. If you vote by mail and the returned proxy card is signed without indicating how you want to vote, then your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. If mailed, your completed and signed proxy card must be received by December 16, 2025.

Meeting. Please see “Questions and Answers about the Oblong Annual Meeting - How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?” for more information regarding voting at the Annual Meeting.

Shares Held in “Street Name”

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record), you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and internet voting also will be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you plan to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker or agent to obtain a legal proxy or broker’s proxy card and bring it to the Annual Meeting in order to vote.

Table of Contents

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee and do not provide that broker, bank or other nominee with voting instructions in the proxy card, your broker may vote your shares only with respect to certain matters considered routine. For any matters that are not routine for which you do not provide voting instructions in the proxy card, your shares will constitute “broker non-votes” and are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. With respect to the matters being voted on at the Annual Meeting, your broker has discretionary authority to vote your shares in the absence of instructions from you only on the ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, broker non-votes should not exist with respect to this proposal. Your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares in the election of directors if you do not furnish instructions on such matters. Thus, assuming that a quorum is obtained, any broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election of the Board of Directors. The approval of the Amendment to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, and the redomestication of the Company to the State of Nevada by conversion.

Voting Requirements for Approval

Item One—Election of Directors: Pursuant to our Amended & Restated Bylaws (the “bylaws”), a plurality of the votes duly cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. You may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority to vote on this Proposal. The persons receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected. Broker non-votes and withheld votes, if any, are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this election.

Item Two—Amendment to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan: To be approved by stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. To be approved, the shares voted “FOR” this proposal must exceed the number voted “AGAINST” this proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not entitled to vote on this proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Item Three—Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm: To be approved by the stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. To be approved, the shares voted “FOR” this proposal must exceed the number voted “AGAINST” this proposal and marked "ABSTAIN." A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the proposal and establishing a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. On this proposal, brokers will have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of timely instructions from their customers. As a result, broker non-votes should not exist with respect to this proposal.

Item Four—Approve the Company's redomestication to the State of Nevada by conversion: To be approved by stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our outstanding capital stock and entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. To be approved, the shares voted "FOR" this proposal must exceed the number voted "AGAINST" this proposal. A properly executed proxy marked "ABSTAIN" will not be voted. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Item Five—Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Advisory Votes on Executive Compensation: Pursuant to this non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation, stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card or voting instruction: ONE YEAR, TWO YEARS, THREE YEARS, or ABSTAIN. The option receiving the vote of a plurality of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be considered by the Board as the preference of Oblong's stockholders, on a non-binding, advisory basis. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Table of Contents

Item Six—Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation: Pursuant to our by-laws, the vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class, is required for the approval, on an advisory and non-binding basis, of the executive compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this Proposal. To be approved, the shares voted “FOR” the proposal must exceed the number voted “AGAINST” the Proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the Proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not counted as entitled to vote on this proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. On this proposal, brokers will not have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of timely instructions from their customers. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the proposal because they are not "entitled to vote" on the matter.

Item Seven—Adjournment of Annual Meeting. To be approved by the stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. To be approved, the shares voted “FOR” this proposal must exceed the number voted “AGAINST” this proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not counted as entitled to vote on this proposal and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Solicitation and Revocation

After you have submitted a proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by submitting a notice of revocation or a proxy bearing a later date. Regardless of whether you voted using a traditional proxy card, by telephone or by internet, you may use any of these methods to change your vote. You may change your vote either by submitting a proxy card prior to the date of the Annual Meeting or by voting again prior to the time at which the telephone and internet voting facilities close by following the procedures applicable to those methods of voting. In each event, the later submitted vote will be recorded and the earlier vote revoked. You may also revoke a proxy by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, constitute revocation of a proxy.

Oblong will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders, including the cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing the proxy solicitation materials. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone or other electronic means or in person, but no such person will be specifically compensated for such services. We will cause brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. We will reimburse such custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. We have engaged Broadridge Financial Solutions to aid in the distribution of the proxy materials and will reimburse their related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE OBLONG ANNUAL MEETING

Q.	Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A. Holders of record of our Common Stock at the close of business on October 31, 2025, which we refer to as the “Record Date,” are entitled to cast one vote per share of Common Stock held by such holder on each matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting. As of the filing of this Proxy Statement, 3,207,210 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Q.	What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

A.	At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will consider and vote upon the following matters:

(1)

to elect four members of the Company’s Board of Directors to serve until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified;

(2)

approve a proposed amendment to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for the grant of awards by 2,000,000 shares;

(3)

to ratify the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

(4)

approve the Company's redomestication to the State of Nevada by conversion;

(5)

conduct an advisory vote to indicate how frequently stockholders believe we should conduct an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers;

(6)

approve, on an advisory and non-binding basis, executive compensation as described in the proxy statement;

(7)

consider and vote upon an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of Proposal Nos. 1, 2, 3, or 4; and

Q.	How can I access the proxy materials over the internet?

A. Your proxy card will contain instructions on how to view our proxy materials on the internet. Our proxy materials are also available on our website at: www.Oblong.com.

Q.	How can I vote my shares?

A.	You may vote by any of the following four methods:

(1)

Table of Contents

(2)

(3)

(4)

Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record of Common Stock as of October 31, 2025, you may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting on December 17, 2025.

If you hold your Company shares in a brokerage account, your ability to vote over the internet or by telephone depends on your broker’s voting process. Please follow the directions on your proxy card or the voting instruction card from your broker carefully.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote using one of the first three methods discussed above, as it is not practical for most stockholders to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. Using one of the first three methods discussed above to vote will not limit your right to vote at the Annual Meeting if you later decide to attend in person.

Q.	How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

A. Stockholders of Record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (“Equiniti”), our “transfer agent,” you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials are being mailed to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to do so, you can bring the proxy card or vote using the ballot provided at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described above so that your vote will be counted if you decide later not to attend the Annual Meeting.

B. Beneficial Owners. Most of our stockholders hold their shares in street name through a broker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. In that case, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card. As the beneficial owner, you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank, or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting. You will need to contact your broker, bank, or nominee to obtain a legal proxy, and you will need to bring it to the Annual Meeting in order to vote in person.

Table of Contents

Q.	How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

A.	Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

(1)

“FOR” the election of four members of the Company’s Board of Directors to serve until the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

(2)

"FOR" the approval of the proposed amendment to the Company's 2019 Equity Incentive Plan;

(4)

"FOR" the approval of the Company's redomestication to the State of Nevada by conversion;

(5)

to conduct an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers every THREE years;

A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. On this proposal, brokers will have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of timely instructions from their customers.

Item Four—Approve the Company’s redomestication to the State of Nevada by conversion: To be approved by stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our outstanding capital stock and entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class.

A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, are not counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Item Seven—Adjournment of Annual Meeting: To be approved by the stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. To be approved, the shares voted “FOR” this proposal must exceed the number voted “AGAINST” this proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. On this proposal, brokers will have discretionary authority to vote in the absence of timely instructions from their customers. As a result, we do not expect any broker non-votes to occur with respect to this proposal. However, any broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

Q.	What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

A. Other than the items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxies will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Q.	What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

A. If you are a stockholder of record, and vote without giving specific voting instructions, the proxyholders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our Board of Directors on all matters presented in this Proxy Statement, and, with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, as the proxyholders may determine in their discretion.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee and do not provide that broker, bank, or other nominee with voting instructions in the proxy card, your broker may vote your shares only with respect to certain matters considered routine. For any matters that are not routine for which you do not provide voting instructions in the proxy card, your shares will constitute “broker non-votes” and are not considered entitled to vote on that proposal. With respect to the matters being voted on at the Annual Meeting, your broker has discretionary authority to vote your shares in the absence of instructions from you only on the ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. As a result, broker non-votes should not exist with respect to this proposal. Your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares in the election of directors if you do not furnish instructions on this matter.

Q.	What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

A. A quorum is present at the Annual Meeting if one-third (1/3) of the shares of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on the Record Date are represented in person or by proxy. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum, whether representing votes for, against, withheld or abstained, if you:

•

are present and vote at the Annual Meeting; or

•

properly submit a proxy card or vote over the internet or by telephone.

Table of Contents

Q.	How can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

A.	If you are a stockholder of record, there are three ways you can change your vote or revoke your proxy after you have sent in your proxy card.

•

First, you may send a timely written notice to Oblong, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 110 16th Street, Suite 1400-1024, Denver, Colorado 80202 stating that you would like to revoke your proxy.

•

Second, you may complete and submit another valid proxy by mail, telephone, or over the internet that is later dated and, if mailed, is properly signed, or if submitted by telephone or over the internet, is received by 11:59 PM EST on December 16, 2025. Any earlier proxies will be revoked automatically.

•

Third, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any earlier proxy will be revoked. However, attending the Annual Meeting without voting in person will not revoke your proxy.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee and you have instructed the broker, bank, or other nominee to vote your shares, you must follow directions from your broker, bank, or other nominee to change your vote.

Q.	Who will tabulate the votes?

A. David Clark, our Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, and Corporate Secretary, will certify the tabulated votes and act as the inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting. Mr. Clark will be responsible for (i) determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting, (ii) receiving all votes and ballots, whether by proxy or in person, with regard to all matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting, (iii) counting and tabulating all such votes and ballots and (iv) determining and reporting the results with regard to all such matters voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Q.	Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

A. We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

Q.	Who pays for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

A. Oblong will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from its stockholders, including the cost of preparing, assembling, and mailing the proxy solicitation materials. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone or other electronic means or in person, but no such person will be specifically compensated for such services. We will cause brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. We will reimburse such custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. We have engaged Broadridge Financial Solutions to aid in the distribution of the proxy materials and will reimburse their related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Q.	Is there a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A. The names of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Annual Meeting and for 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting at our principal executive offices between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time for any purpose relevant to the Annual Meeting. To arrange to view this list during the times specified above, please contact the Corporate Secretary of the Company at Oblong, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 110 16th Street, Suite 1400-1024, Denver, Colorado 80202, or call 303-640-3838.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of four directors. The current Board members include three independent directors, and our chief executive officer. The core responsibility of our Board of Directors is to exercise its business judgment to act in what it reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Further, members of the Board fulfill their responsibilities consistent with their fiduciary duty to the stockholders, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The primary responsibilities of the Board include:

•

oversight of management performance and assurance that stockholder interests are served;

•

oversight of the Company’s business affairs and long-term strategy; and

•

monitoring adherence to the Company’s standards and policies, including, among other things, policies governing internal controls over financial reporting.

Our Board of Directors conducts its business through meetings of the Board and through activities of the standing committees, as further described below. The Board and each of the standing committees meet throughout the year and also holds special meetings and acts by written consent from time to time, as appropriate. Board agendas include regularly scheduled executive sessions of the independent directors to meet without the presence of management. The Board has delegated various responsibilities and authority to different committees of the Board, as described below. Members of the Board have access to all of our members of management outside of Board meetings.

Table of Contents

Our Board of Directors met and/or acted by written consent eight times during the year ended December 31, 2024. During this period, each director then in office attended 75% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period for which he was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which he served, held during the period for which he served. The Company does not have a policy with regard to directors’ attendance at our annual meetings of stockholders.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of our current directors, other than Mr. Holst qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. Because Mr. Holst is our president and chief executive officer and an employee of the Company, he does not qualify as independent.

The Nasdaq Capital Market independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company or its subsidiaries. In addition, as further required by The Nasdaq Capital Market rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and the Company’s management.

Board Committees

The Board has an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee, and may form special committees as is required from time to time. Each of the committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full Board. The charters for the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating committee are available on the Company’s website at www.oblong.com/company/investor-relations. The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference into this document for any purpose.

Audit Committee

The audit committee currently consists of Jason Adelman (chair), Jonathan Schechter, and Deborah Meredith. Our Board of Directors has determined that all members of the audit committee are “independent” within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market and the SEC rules governing audit committees and “financially literate” for purposes of applicable Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Adelman and Schechter has the accounting and related financial management expertise to satisfy the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert,” as determined pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The audit committee consults and meets with our independent registered public accounting firm, Chief Financial Officer and accounting personnel, reviews potential conflict of interest situations where appropriate, and reports and makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors regarding such matters. The audit committee met four times during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

Please see “Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors” below for additional information regarding the audit committee and the report of its members for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee currently consists of Jonathan Schechter (chair), Jason Adelman, and Deborah Meredith. Each member of the compensation committee meets the applicable independence requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The compensation committee met and/or acted by written consent two times during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The compensation committee is responsible for establishing and administering our executive compensation policies. The role of the compensation committee is to (i) formulate, evaluate and approve compensation of the Company’s directors, executive officers and key employees, (ii) oversee all compensation programs involving the use of the Company’s stock and (iii) produce, if required under applicable securities laws, a report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders. The duties and responsibilities of the compensation committee under its charter include:

•

annually reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation of directors, executive officers and key employees of the Company;

•

annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and recommending to the Board the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation levels based on this evaluation;

•

reviewing competitive practices and trends to determine the adequacy of the executive compensation program;

•

approving and overseeing compensation programs for executive officers involving the use of the Company’s stock;

•

approving and administering cash incentives for executives, including oversight of achievement of performance objectives, and funding for executive incentive plans;

•

annually performing a self-evaluation on the performance of the compensation committee; and

•

making regular reports to the Board concerning the activities of the compensation committee.

When appropriate, the compensation committee may, in carrying out its responsibilities, form and delegate authority to subcommittees. The Chief Executive Officer plays a role in determining the compensation of our other executive officers by evaluating the performance of those executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer’s evaluations are then reviewed by the compensation committee. This process leads to a recommendation for any changes in salary, bonus terms and equity awards, if any, based on performance, which recommendations are then reviewed and approved by the compensation committee.

Nominating Committee

Our nominating committee currently consists of Deborah Meredith (chair), Jason Adelman, and Jonathan Schechter. Each member of the nominating committee meets the independence requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The nominating committee is responsible for assessing the performance of our Board of Directors and making recommendations to our Board regarding nominees for the Board. The nominating committee met and/or acted by written consent one time during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The nominating committee considers qualified candidates to serve as a member of our Board of Directors that are suggested by our stockholders. Nominees recommended by stockholders will be given appropriate consideration and evaluated in the same manner as other nominees. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 110 16th Street, Suite 1400-1024, Denver, Colorado 80202. Stockholder submissions that are received in accordance with our bylaws and that meet the criteria outlined in the nominating committee charter are forwarded to the members of the nominating committee for review. Stockholder submissions must include the following information:

•

a statement that the writer is our stockholder and is proposing a candidate for our Board of Directors for consideration by the nominating committee;

•

the name of and contact information for the candidate;

•

a statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience;

•

information regarding each of the factors set forth in the nominating committee charter sufficient to enable the nominating committee to evaluate the candidate;

•

a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and any of our customers, suppliers or competitors;

•

detailed information about any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; and

•

a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as our director if nominated and elected.

In considering potential new directors, the nominating committee will review individuals from various disciplines and backgrounds. Among the qualifications to be considered in the selection of candidates are broad experience in business, finance or administration; familiarity with national and international business matters; familiarity with our industry; and prominence and reputation. While there is no formal policy with regard to consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, the nominating committee will consider diversity in business experience, professional expertise, gender and ethnic background, along with various other factors when evaluating director nominees. The nominating committee will also consider whether the individual has the time available to devote to the work of our Board of Directors and one or more of its committees.

The nominating committee will also review the activities and associations of each candidate to ensure that there is no legal impediment, conflict of interest or other consideration that might hinder or prevent service on our Board of Directors. In making its selection, the nominating committee will bear in mind that the foremost responsibility of a director of a corporation is to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole. The nominating committee will periodically review and reassess the adequacy of its charter and propose any changes to the Board of Directors for approval.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Schechter has served as the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors from December 2024, when he replaced Mr. Holst. Mr. Holst served as the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors from May 2023 to December 2024 and from July 2019 to December 2021. Mr. Holst has served as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer since January 2013.

To ensure a strong and independent Board, as discussed herein, the Board has affirmatively determined that all directors of the Company, other than Mr. Holst, are independent within the meaning of the Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards currently in effect. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that non-management directors shall meet in regular executive session without management present.

The Board has an active role, directly and through its committees, in the oversight of the Company’s risk management efforts. The Board carries out this oversight role through several levels of review. The Board regularly reviews and discusses with members of management information regarding the management of risks inherent in the operation of the Company’s business and the implementation of the Company’s strategic plan, including the Company’s risk mitigation efforts.

Each of the Board’s committees also oversees the management of the Company’s risks that are under each committee’s areas of responsibility. For example, the audit committee oversees management of accounting, auditing, external reporting, internal controls and cash investment risks. The nominating committee oversees and assesses the performance of the Board and makes recommendations to the Board from time to time regarding nominees for the Board. The compensation committee oversees risks arising from compensation practices and policies. While each committee has specific responsibilities for oversight of risk, the Board is regularly informed by each committee about such risks. In this manner the Board is able to coordinate its risk oversight.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between the officers and directors of the Company.

Legal Proceedings

During the past ten years none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any legal proceedings described in subparagraph (f) of Item 401 of Regulation S-K.

Table of Contents

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The audit committee is composed of three members. Each member is a director who meets the current independence standards under the applicable SEC and Nasdaq Capital Market rules. The audit committee operates under a written audit committee charter. As described more fully in its charter, the purpose of the audit committee is to assist the Board in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting, internal controls and audit functions. Management is responsible for: the preparation, presentation and integrity of Company’s financial statements; accounting and financial reporting principles; internal controls; and procedures designed to reasonably assure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”), our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). In accordance with applicable law, the audit committee has ultimate authority and responsibility to select, compensate, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee has the authority to engage its own outside advisers, including experts in particular areas of accounting, as it determines appropriate, apart from counsel or advisers hired by management.

The audit committee members need not be professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and EisnerAmper, nor can the audit committee certify that EisnerAmper is “independent” under applicable rules. The audit committee serves a Board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and EisnerAmper on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and EisnerAmper, and the experience of the audit committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters. All members of the audit committee have been determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with SEC rules. Stockholders should understand that this designation is an SEC disclosure requirement related to these directors’ experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on these directors any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on them as a member of the audit committee and the Board, and their designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or the Board.

In accordance with law, the audit committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, including the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees received through established procedures, of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. Among other matters, the audit committee monitors the activities and performance of EisnerAmper, including the audit scope, external audit fees, independence matters and the extent to which the firm may be retained to perform non-audit services.

In accordance with audit committee policy and applicable legal requirements, all services to be provided by EisnerAmper are pre-approved by the audit committee. Pre-approval includes audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the law prohibits a publicly traded company from obtaining certain non-audit services from EisnerAmper. We obtain these services from other service providers as needed.

Table of Contents

The audit committee has reviewed our audited financial statements and met and held discussions with management regarding the audited financial statements. Management has represented to the audit committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The audit committee has discussed with EisnerAmper the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. These discussions have included a review as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles.

The audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from EisnerAmper required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding EisnerAmper’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with EisnerAmper its independence from management and the Company. The audit committee has also considered the compatibility of non-audit services with EisnerAmper’s independence.

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions described in this report, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the SEC.

Respectfully submitted,

Jason Adelman, Chairman

Jonathan Schechter

PROPOSAL NO. 2 -- AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S 2019 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

General

The Board of Directors is requesting that our stockholders approve the adoption of an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Glowpoint, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which amendment was approved by the Board on October 20, 2025, effective upon approval by our stockholders. If this proposal is approved, the number of shares authorized for issuance of awards under the Plan will be increased by 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for certain changes in our capitalization. The Amendment also makes conforming changes to the Plan to reflect the change in the Company’s name from “Glowpoint, Inc.” to “Oblong, Inc.” The proposed Plan, as amended and restated assuming this proposal is approved by our stockholders, is included as Annex A hereto.

The Plan was approved by the was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. By its terms, the Plan may be amended by the Compensation Committee provided that any amendment that the Compensation Committee determines requires stockholder approval is subject to receiving such stockholder approval. Approval by our stockholders is required by the listing rules of Nasdaq. In addition, stockholder approval is required in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for grants of incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

As of October 31, 2025, no shares of our Common Stock remain available for issuance of future awards under the Plan: no options to purchase shares of Common Stock remain outstanding; and, no restricted stock units are outstanding. As of October 31, 2025, all shares authorized for issuance under the Plan (as adjusted by the reverse stock splits effected in January 2023 and August 2024) have been issued upon the exercise of options and vesting of other equity awards granted under the plan.

Rationale for the Amendment to the Plan

Oblong's Board of Directors and its compensation committee believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages such long-term performance by Oblong's employees, directors, and consultants through the use of stock and stock-based awards. The Plan Amendment was established to provide Oblong's employees, directors, and consultants with incentives to help align their interests with the interests of its stockholders. In addition, our future success depends, in large part, upon our ability to maintain a competitive position in attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel. We believe that the increase in the number of shares available for issuance under our Plan is essential to permit our management to continue to provide long-term, equity-based incentives to present and future key employees, consultants and directors.

Oblong's Board of Directors and its compensation committee believe that approval of the Plan Amendment is in the best interests of Oblong and its stockholders because it will enable the organization and its Board of Directors to:

•

encourage selected salaried employees to acquire a proprietary interest in Oblong's growth and performance;

•

generate an increased incentive to contribute to Oblong's future success and prosperity, thereby enhancing its value; and

•

enhance Oblong's ability to attract and retain exceptionally qualified individuals upon whom its sustained progress, growth, and profitability depend.

Table of Contents

Summary of the Material Features of the Plan

Set forth below is a summary of the Plan, but this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, as amended by the Amendment, the full text of which is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Purpose

The purpose of the Plan is to enhance long-term profitability and stockholder value by offering Common Stock and Common Stock-based and other performance incentives to those employees, directors, and consultants who are key to Oblong's growth and success. Oblong also views the Plan as a vehicle to attract and retain experienced employees and to align employees’ economic incentives with those of its stockholders.

Administration of the Plan

The Plan may be administered by Oblong’s Board of Directors, its compensation committee, or a similar committee comprised of at least two non-employee directors (in each case, the “Administrator”). The Administrator has exclusive authority to grant awards under the Plan and to make all interpretations and determinations affecting the Plan. The Administrator will have the discretion to determine the individuals to whom awards are granted, the amount of each award, any applicable vesting schedule, and other terms of any award.

Eligible Participants

Participation in the Plan is limited to Oblong’s employees, consultants, advisors, independent contractors, and directors.

Number of Shares Available for Issuance

If this Proposal No. 2 is approved by our stockholders, the maximum number of shares of Oblong's Common Stock that will be reserved and available for issuance under the Plan will be equal to 2,000,000 shares of Oblong’s Common Stock.

Based solely on the closing price of Oblong’s Common Stock as reported by Nasdaq on October 31, 2025, the maximum aggregate market value of the Common Stock that could potentially be issued under the Plan, is [$x,xxx,xxx].

If any stock award under the Plan expires or otherwise terminates, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full (or vested in the case of restricted stock or restricted stock units), the stock not acquired under such stock award reverts to and again becomes available for issuance under the Plan. If any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a stock option awarded under either the Plan for any reason is repurchased by Oblong under a share repurchase option provided under the Plan, the stock repurchased under such repurchase option will revert to again become available for issuance under the Plan. The foregoing notwithstanding, Common Stock which is withheld from an award to pay the exercise price with respect to such award or to pay a participant’s tax obligations with respect to an award shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan.

Table of Contents

Maximum Awards to Non-Employee Directors

The maximum aggregate number of shares of Oblong’s Common Stock subject to awards granted to non-employee members of Oblong’s Board of Directors in any one calendar year may not exceed 250,000 shares.

Change in Control Provisions

The Plan provides that Oblong may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the timing of the exercise or vesting provisions of any award in the event of (i) the adoption of a plan of merger or consolidation under which a majority of the shares of Oblong’s Common Stock would be converted into or exercised for cash or securities of any other corporation or entity, or (ii) a sale or exchange of all or any portion of Oblong’s assets or equity securities.

Alternatively, Oblong may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of participants, provide for one or more of the following in the event of any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, sale of all or any portion of the Oblong’s assets or capital stock, including, but not limited to, a “going-private” transaction: (i) the assumption of the Plan and outstanding awards by the surviving entity; (ii) the substitution by the surviving entity of awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding awards; (iii) notice to the holders of vested and exercisable stock options and stock appreciation rights of their ability to exercise such vested and exercisable awards prior to the transaction, followed by the cancellation of all unexercised awards (whether or not then vested and exercisable); (iv) settlement of the intrinsic value of outstanding vested awards in cash or cash equivalents or equity followed by the cancellation of all such awards (whether or not then vested or exercisable); and (v) cancellation of all unvested or unexercisable awards. However, in the event that awards are either assumed or substituted, the awards will continue to vest or become exercisable pursuant to the terms of the original award, except to the extent such terms are otherwise rendered inoperative.

Adjustments for Stock Dividends, Stock Splits, Etc.

The Plan requires the Administrator to make appropriate adjustments to the number of shares of Oblong’s Common Stock that are subject to the Plan, to certain limits in the Plan, and to any outstanding awards to reflect stock dividends, stock splits, extraordinary cash dividends, and similar events.

Amendment to the Plan and Awards

Oblong’s Board of Directors, at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, no amendment will be effective unless approved by Oblong’s stockholders to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Code, any federal or state law or regulation, or any securities exchange listing requirements. Further, no award under the Plan may be amended or canceled for the purpose of repricing, replacing, or regranting such award with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original award unless otherwise approved by stockholders.

Termination of the Plan

Oblong’s Board of Directors or stockholders may terminate the Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated, the Plan currently terminates on December 19, 2029. No stock awards may be granted under the Plan after it is terminated.

Types of Awards

Stock Options

A stock option is the right to purchase shares of Oblong’s Common Stock at a fixed exercise price for a fixed period of time. The Plan permits the granting of (1) options to purchase Common Stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and (2) options that do not so qualify. Stock options granted under the Plan will be non-statutory stock options if they fail to qualify as incentive stock options or exceed the annual limit on incentive stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Oblong and its subsidiaries. Non-statutory stock options may be granted to any persons eligible to receive incentive stock options and to non-employee directors and consultants. The Administrator determines the exercise price and additional terms of stock options; provided, however, that no stock option shall vest or become exercisable within one year from the date of grant, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement. The option exercise price of each option will be determined by the Administrator but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Oblong’s Common Stock on the date of grant. Fair market value for this purpose will be the last reported closing sales price of the shares of Oblong’s Common Stock on Nasdaq on the valuation date, or, if none, the closing sales price on the most recent trade date immediately prior to the valuation date. The exercise price of a stock option may not be reduced after the date of the stock option grant, other than to appropriately reflect changes in Oblong’s capital structure.

The term of each stock option will be fixed by the Administrator and may not exceed ten years from the date of grant. The Administrator will determine at what time or times each stock option may be exercised. Stock options may be made exercisable in installments, and the exercisability of options may be accelerated by the Administrator. Upon exercise of stock options, the option exercise price must be paid in full in such form as the Administrator will provide (or as permitted by Section 422 of the Code in the case of incentive stock options).

To qualify as incentive stock options, stock options must meet additional federal tax requirements, including a $100,000 limit on the value of shares subject to incentive stock options that first become exercisable by a participant in any one calendar year.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Administrator has the authority to grant awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units pursuant to the terms of an award agreement. Each award agreement will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator will deem appropriate. These conditions and restrictions may include the achievement of certain performance goals and/or continued employment with Oblong through a specified restricted period; provided that the vesting period applicable to any award of restricted stock or restricted stock units may not be less than one year, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement. During the vesting period, awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units may be credited with dividend equivalent rights, but dividend equivalents payable with respect to awards with vesting tied to the attainment of performance criteria shall not be paid unless and until such performance conditions are attained.

Performance Awards

These awards may be denominated in either cash or shares, and are subject to the achievement of performance goals set over performance periods, as established by the Administrator.

Other Awards

In addition, the Plan provides for awards in the form of stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, and cash awards.

New Plan Benefits

With respect to the increased number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, because the grant of awards under the Plan is within the discretion of the Administrator, Oblong cannot determine the dollar value or number of shares of Oblong’s Common Stock that will in the future be received by or allocated to any participant in the Plan.

Table of Contents

Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards

The following is a general summary as of the date of this proxy statement of the federal income tax consequences to Oblong and to U.S. participants for awards granted under the Plan. The summary does not purport to be legal or tax advice. The federal tax laws may change, and the federal, state, and local tax consequences for any participant will depend upon his or her individual circumstances. Tax consequences for any particular individual may be different.

Incentive Stock Options

For federal income tax purposes, the holder of an incentive stock option receives no taxable income at the time of the grant or exercise of the incentive stock option. If such a person retains the Common Stock for a period equal to the longer of at least two years after the option is granted and one year after the option is exercised, any gain upon the subsequent sale of the Common Stock will be taxed as a long-term capital gain. A participant who disposes of shares acquired by exercise of an incentive stock option prior to the expiration of two years after the option is granted or one year after the option is exercised will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and fair market value of the share on the exercise date (or, if less, the excess of the amount realized on the disposition of the shares over the exercise price). If the amount realized on the disposition of the Common Stock is greater than the Common Stock's fair market value on the date of exercise and the capital gain holding period has been satisfied, the excess of the gain will be subject to long-term capital gain treatment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date of an incentive stock option is an adjustment in computing the holder's alternative minimum taxable income and may be subject to an alternative minimum tax which is paid if such tax exceeds the regular tax for the year.

Non-Statutory Stock Options

A participant who receives a non-statutory stock option with an exercise price not less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date generally will not realize taxable income on the grant of such option, but will realize ordinary income at the time of exercise of the option equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of shares would be capital gain or loss. Any taxable income recognized in connection with an option exercise by an employee or former employee of the company is subject to tax withholding by Oblong.

Stock-Based Grants

There are generally no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of restricted stock units under the Plan. A participant who is awarded restricted stock units will generally be required to recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of shares issued to such participant at the end of the restriction period or, if later, the payment date, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

Table of Contents

Stock Awards

A restricted stock award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code to the extent the award will be forfeited in the event that the participant ceases to provide services to Oblong. As a result of this substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will not recognize ordinary income at the time of the award. Instead, the participant will recognize ordinary income on the dates when the stock is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or when the stock becomes transferable, if earlier. The participant’s ordinary income is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the stock, if any, and the fair market value of the stock on the date the stock is no longer subject to forfeiture.

The participant may accelerate his or her recognition of ordinary income, if any, and begin his or her capital gains holding period by timely filing an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to a restricted stock award. In such an event, the ordinary income recognized, if any, is measured as the difference between the amount paid for the stock, if any, and the fair market value of the stock on the date of award, and the capital gain holding period commences on such date. The ordinary income recognized by an employee or former employee will be subject to tax withholding by Oblong.

Section 409A

Section 409A of the Code provides that non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements must meet certain requirements to avoid additional income taxes for those deferring compensation, including providing that distributions must be made on or following the occurrence of certain events (e.g., the individual’s separation from service, a predetermined date, or the individual’s death). Awards granted under the Plan are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A; however, Oblong makes no representations or warranties to that effect.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 -- RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee, composed entirely of independent, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, has appointed the firm of EisnerAmper as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and is asking the stockholders for ratification of the appointment. If the stockholders do not approve the selection of EisnerAmper, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment but may conclude that it is in the best interests of the Company to retain EisnerAmper for the current fiscal year. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

As our independent registered public accounting firm, EisnerAmper would audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, review the related interim quarters, and perform audit-related services and consultation in connection with various accounting and financial reporting matters. EisnerAmper may also perform certain non-audit services for our Company. The audit committee has determined that the provision of the services provided by EisnerAmper as set forth herein are compatible with maintaining EisnerAmper’s independence and the prohibitions on performing non-audit services set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and relevant SEC rules.

Representatives of EisnerAmper are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting but will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Fees

EisnerAmper, our principal accountant, billed us approximately $265,000 for professional services for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year and the reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2024 fiscal year. EisnerAmper billed us $251,000 for professional services for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the 2023 fiscal year and the reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2023 fiscal year.

Audit-Related Fees

EisnerAmper did not bill us in the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years for any professional services rendered for audit-related items.

Tax Fees

EisnerAmper did not bill us in the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years for any professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

All Other Fees

EisnerAmper did not bill us in the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years for any other products or services.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The audit committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of EisnerAmper to perform audit and other services for the Company. Our procedures for the pre-approval by the audit committee of all services provided by EisnerAmper comply with SEC regulations regarding pre-approval of services. Services subject to these SEC requirements include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The audit engagement is specifically approved, and the auditors are retained by the audit committee. The audit committee also has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all non-audit work performed by EisnerAmper. In accordance with audit committee policy and the requirements of law, all services provided by EisnerAmper in the 2024 and 2023 fiscal years were pre-approved by the audit committee and all services to be provided by EisnerAmper will be pre-approved. Pre-approval includes audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the law prohibits a publicly traded company from obtaining certain non-audit services from its auditing firm. We obtain these services from other service providers as needed.

Vote Required For Approval

To be approved by the stockholders, this item must receive the “FOR” vote of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class.

PROPOSAL NO. 4 -- APPROVE THE COMPANY’S REDOMESTICATION TO THE STATE OF NEVADA BY CONVERSION

The Board of Directors of Oblong, Inc. has approved a proposal to redomesticate the Company, by conversion, from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Corporation") to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada (the "Nevada Corporation)". We refer to the conversion of the Delaware Corporation into the Nevada Corporation as the "Redomestication." The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that our stockholders resolve to approve the Redomestication, including the Plan of Conversion, the Nevada Articles of Incorporation (the "Nevada Charter") and the other documents and transactions contemplated by the Redomestication, which we refer to as the "Redomestication Resolution." Upon the completion of the Redomestication, the Company will become a Nevada corporation and will continue to operate its business under its current name, Oblong, Inc.

Reasons for the Redomestication

The Board believes that there are several important reasons the Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors took a balanced approach and considered various factors in reaching its decision to approve the Redomestication and to recommend that our stockholders vote in favor of this proposal. We believe that our stockholders’ rights under Nevada law will be substantially similar to those under Delaware law. The Company also considered a number of benefits and factors in making its decision and believes that such benefits are sufficiently compelling for our stockholders.

Further, the Board also was aware and considered that a potential litigant might argue, and a court could determine, under Delaware law, that the directors and officers of the Company have an interest in the Redomestication to the extent that it might afford them greater limitations on liability under Nevada law for acts in their capacities as directors and officers occurring after the Redomestication. Nevertheless, the Board believes that there are several important reasons the Redomestication is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, as discussed below. The Board encourages all stockholders to read this proxy carefully and to consider the potential interests the directors and officers may have in the Redomestication in deciding whether to vote in favor of the Redomestication proposal.

Table of Contents

Summary of the Rationale for the Redomestication and Company Practices

Financial Benefits and Cost Savings: We believe that the Redomestication will result in significant financial benefits, including, but not limited to the following:

●

We anticipate tax savings of approximately $175,000 to $200,000 on an annual basis. For the 2025 calendar year, we expect Delaware franchise tax expense will be approximately $175,000 to $200,000. We anticipate that, if we remain a Delaware corporation, for the 2026 calendar year, our Delaware franchise taxes will be approximately the same as 2025 (based on our current capital structure and assets). By comparison, if we redomesticate in Nevada, our current annual fees will consist of an annual Nevada state business license fee of $500, and the current fee for filing the Company’s annual list of directors and officers, based on the number of authorized shares and their par value, would equal $400.

●

Potential cost savings in director and officer (D&O) insurance premiums from reduced litigation and litigation costs, including attorneys’ fees, which can be significant for corporate litigation.

●

In addition, the Board believes that in recent years there has been an increased risk of opportunistic litigation for Delaware public companies, which has made Delaware a less attractive place of incorporation due to the substantial costs associated with defending against such suits. These costs are often borne by the Company’s stockholders through, among other things, indemnification obligations, distraction to Company management and employees, and increased insurance premiums.

Governance Best Practices and Stockholder Rights: In connection with the Redomestication, we considered our existing best practices and stockholder rights, and determined to further enhance stockholder rights as follows:

As a Delaware Corporation, we have currently adopted the following best practices, which will continue at the Nevada Corporation:

●

Majority of independent directors, and entirely independent audit, compensation, and nominating committees;

●

Removal of directors without cause;

●

No exclusive forum;

●

All directors elected annually (no classified board);

●

No dual-class common stock structure; and

●

Stockholders may act by written consent.

Table of Contents

The Board is committed to robust corporate governance and believes in maintaining policies and practices that serve the interests of the Company and all of its stockholders.

More Predictability and Certainty in Decision Making: We believe that the recent variety in and unpredictability of judicial interpretation in the Delaware courts will have a chilling effect on corporate decision-making, which could result in a company not engaging in transactions potentially beneficial to stockholders. Nevada courts follow a more statute-based approach to director and officer duties that is less dependent on the vagaries of judicial interpretation in the Delaware courts. The Board considered recent amendments to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) that appear to attempt to address, at least in part, some of the uncertainty that has been created by recent Delaware court decisions, but the DGCL amendments are untested, subject to judicial interpretation and may not fully mitigate a variety of litigation and business planning concerns for the Company, and the Board believes that Nevada’s statute-based approach provides greater certainty for corporate decision making, which, in turn will benefit our stockholders.

Reduces Risk of Opportunistic Litigation: The increasing frequency and cost of claims directed towards Companies and their directors and officers has greatly expanded the risk facing directors and officers of public companies in exercising their duties. This litigation can be time-consuming and burdensome for the Company, the directors and officers involved, and other members of Company management and employees. The Board considered recent amendments to the DGCL that appear to be designed, at least in part, to reduce litigation risk for Delaware corporations, but the DGCL amendments are untested, subject to judicial interpretation and may not fully mitigate certain litigation concerns for the Company, and the Board believes that Nevada’s statute-based approach provides greater certainty for corporate decision making, which, in turn will benefit our stockholders.

General Background and Context for the Board’s Recommendation

Historically, Delaware has dominated the market for incorporations for public companies and was the leading choice for a state of incorporation when the Company was founded. More recently, other states have amended their corporation laws and otherwise sought to make their jurisdictions more attractive as a place of incorporation. Nevada, in particular, has developed and advanced its corporate laws in order to provide businesses with a modern and predictable corporate governance framework, and as a result, Nevada has begun to compete with Delaware for public company incorporations. In considering the Redomestication, the Board considered, among other possibilities, Colorado, where our headquarters are currently located in Denver, and Texas.

In addition, the Board believes that in recent years, there has been an increased risk of opportunistic litigation for Delaware public companies, which has made Delaware a less attractive place of incorporation due to the substantial costs associated with defending against such suits. Over the years, we have experienced increases in our Director and Officer (D&O) insurance premiums from year to year, and companies can be subject to stockholder demands and litigation claims arising under Delaware Law, which could result in substantial legal fees and expenses. For example, we may be subject to stockholder books and records inspection demands, pursuant to Section 220 of the DGCL, purportedly seeking to investigate alleged mismanagement and wrongdoing, which, in turn, may cause us to expend substantial legal fees and costs in responding to such demands, in addition to the time and distraction for our management team in gathering records and providing information to our lawyers. Although Section 220 of the DGCL was amended on March 25, 2025 (the “2025 DGCL Amendments”) to narrow the scope of such demands and increase the burden on stockholders for obtaining such records, we still expect fewer frivolous books and records demands under Nevada law, as inspection rights are more restricted for stockholders of a public company like Oblong. Specifically, under the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”), the right of a stockholder of record to inspect books of account and financial statements does not apply to a corporation that furnishes stockholders a detailed, annual financial statement or that has filed certain reports required pursuant to the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months.

Table of Contents

The Board believes Nevada law is more advantageous than Delaware law because Nevada courts follow a more statute-based approach to director and officer duties, that is less dependent upon the vagaries of judicial interpretation and therefore tends to be more stable, predictable and efficient than decisions rendered under Delaware law, which largely consists of judicial decisions that develop and potentially shift over time. Recent Delaware Chancery Court decisions have raised questions in the market about the predictability of the Delaware courts, thus, in the Board's view, undermining what was previously touted as a significant benefit of incorporating in Delaware. Uncertainty as to what standards of conduct govern corporate decision making, and how a court may rule with respect to the propriety of a transaction after the fact, can have a chilling effect on corporate decision making, particularly where directors and officers face risk (even if unlikely) of personal liability, which could result in a company not engaging in transactions potentially beneficial to its stockholders. In addition, the imposition of onerous standards of post hoc judicial review, including standards that can preclude the possibility of obtaining dismissal of claims at the pleading stage, thereby encouraging litigation from the corporate plaintiff's bar, can create unnecessary friction and delay that may discourage pursuit of transactions the Board might otherwise believe to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Board believes that Nevada's statute-based approach provides greater certainty for corporate decision making, which, in turn will benefit our stockholders by reducing artificial friction or undue hesitation and allowing the Company to more fully consider and potentially enter advantageous business opportunities that our Board believes to be in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders.

Although both Delaware and Nevada law afford some protections to directors and officers in the form of exculpation from potential liability for money damages for certain acts in their capacities as directors and officers, Nevada law affords potentially greater protections. Specifically, Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt provisions limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the duty of care, but not for breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct, or a knowing violation of law. Moreover, pursuant to a recent amendment to the DGCL, similar protections can be extended to senior officers of Delaware corporations in certain circumstances, but officers cannot be protected to the same degree as directors. For example, the DGCL does not permit a corporation to exculpate officers for breaches of the duty of care in claims asserted derivatively. By contrast, and notwithstanding the 2025 DGCL Amendments, which provide greater protection of directors and officers from liability for conflict of interest transactions in certain cases, Nevada law provides a broader exclusion of individual liability of both officers and directors to a company and its stockholders. Specifically, under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in their capacity as a director or officer unless (a) the presumption that the director or officer acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the company, has been rebutted, and (b) it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of their fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Thus, as a practical matter, for any acts occurring after the Redomestication, the Redomestication will generally result in, among other things, the elimination of any liability of an officer or director for a breach of fiduciary duty, unless arising from intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. By reducing the risk of lawsuits being filed against the Company’s directors and officers, the Board believes the Redomestication may, among other things, help us attract and retain qualified management and directors.

The Redomestication will eliminate our obligation to pay the annual Delaware franchise tax, which we expect will result in substantial savings to the Company over the long term. We anticipate tax savings of approximately $165,000 to $200,000 on an annual basis. For the 2025 calendar year, we expect Delaware franchise tax expense will be approximately $165,000. We anticipate that, if we remain a Delaware corporation, for the 2026 calendar year, our Delaware franchise taxes will be approximately the same as 2025 (based on our current capital structure and assets). By comparison, if we redomesticate in Nevada, our current annual fees will consist of an annual Nevada state business license fee of $500, and the current fee for filing the Company’s annual list of directors and officers, based on the number of authorized shares and their par value, would equal to $400.

* * *

In summary, for the reasons discussed above and throughout this proxy statement, the Board believes that the Redomestication is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Nevada is an important state for the Company’s business in ways that Delaware is not, and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, in the Board’s view, the increased certainty offered by Nevada law around corporate decision making for transactions that the Board determines to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, coupled with an expected reduction in the risk of litigation challenging those transactions (except in the specific circumstances recognized by Nevada law), will promote the pursuit of value-maximizing business strategies, reduce the Company’s exposure to the substantial costs of corporate litigation and enhance stockholder value over the long term.

There are currently no known pending claims or lawsuits against any of our directors or officers for breach of fiduciary duty related to their service as directors or officers of the Company. Nevertheless, in reaching its decision to approve the Redomestication and to recommend that our stockholders vote in favor of this proposal, the Board was aware and considered that a potential litigant might argue, and a court could determine, under Delaware law, that the directors and officers of the Company have an interest in the Redomestication to the extent that it might afford them greater limitations on liability under Nevada law for acts in their capacities as directors and officers occurring after the Redomestication. Nevertheless, as set forth above, the Board believes that the interests of the Company and its stockholders will greatly benefit from the proposed Redomestication, and therefore that the Redomestication is fully justified on such grounds and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, irrespective of any potential benefit to our directors and officers.

As also discussed above, the Redomestication could potentially provide us greater flexibility to consider and engage in certain types of corporate transactions that might provide stockholders an opportunity to realize greater value for their shares in the Company that the Board determines to be in the best interests of our stockholders. Nevada has enacted a statute codifying the business judgment rule and this statute has been interpreted by the Nevada Supreme Court as mandating application of the business judgment rule to transactions that, under Delaware law, may be subject to judicial review under the entire fairness standard. As a result, the

Redomestication may allow the Company to accomplish certain types of transactions with a reduced risk of litigation and/or a court overturning the business decisions of our Board, to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders.

No such transactions potentially implicating the entire fairness standard under Delaware law are currently being discussed or considered by the Board. Consequently, the Redomestication is not being proposed to prevent a change in control, or as a response to any present attempt known to the Board to acquire control of the Company or obtain representation on the Board. Nevertheless, certain effects of the proposed Redomestication may be considered to have anti-takeover implications by virtue of being subject to Nevada law. See “Anti-Takeover Implications of the Redomestication” below for additional information.

Principal Terms of the Redomestication

The Redomestication would be effected through a conversion pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL as set forth in the Plan of Conversion, which is included as Annex B to this proxy statement. Approval of this proposal will constitute approval of the Plan of Conversion and the other documents contemplated by the Redomestication. The Plan of Conversion provides that we will convert from a Delaware corporation into a Nevada corporation pursuant to Section 266 of the DGCL and Sections 92A.195 and 92A.205 of the NRS. Pursuant to Section 92A.250 of the NRS, the Redomestication is a continuation of the existence of the constituent entity.

The Plan of Conversion provides that, upon the Redomestication, each outstanding share of common stock of the Delaware Corporation will be automatically converted into one outstanding share of common stock of the Nevada Corporation. Securityholders holding certificated shares of the common stock of the Delaware corporation will not have to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates. At the same time, upon the Redomestication, each outstanding right to acquire shares of common stock of the Delaware Corporation will automatically become a right to acquire an equal number of shares of common stock of the Nevada Corporation under the same terms and conditions. At the Effective Time (as defined herein) of the Redomestication, our common stock will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OBLG”. The Redomestication is not expected to cause any interruption in the trading of our common stock.

The Plan of Conversion further provides that, upon the Redomestication, each outstanding share of the Delaware Corporation’s Series Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), will be automatically converted into one outstanding share of the corresponding series of the Nevada Corporation’s preferred stock, the certificate of designation for which will provide for terms that are substantively identical with those of the Delaware Corporation’s certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock. Additionally, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of the Preferred Stock will automatically become a right to acquire an equal number of shares of preferred stock of the Nevada Corporation under the same terms and conditions.

The Board currently intends that the Redomestication will occur as soon as practicable following the Annual Meeting. If the Redomestication is approved by our stockholders, it is anticipated that the Redomestication will become effective at the date and time (the Effective Time) specified in each of (i) the Articles of Conversion to be executed and filed with the office of the Nevada Secretary of State in accordance with NRS 92A.205 and (ii) the Certificate of Conversion to be executed and filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. However, the Redomestication may be delayed by the Board or the Plan of Conversion may be terminated and abandoned by action of the Board at any time prior to the Effective Time of the Redomestication, whether before or after the approval by the Company’s stockholders, should the Board determine for any reason that the consummation of the Redomestication should be delayed or terminated because it is inadvisable or not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the case may be.

Effects of the Redomestication

Following the Redomestication, the Company will be governed by the NRS instead of the DGCL, as well as by the form of the Nevada Charter and the form of Nevada Bylaws (the “Nevada Bylaws”), included as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, to this proxy statement. Approval of this proposal will constitute approval of the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws. Our current Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Delaware Charter”) and our current Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Delaware Bylaws”) will no longer be applicable following completion of the Redomestication. Copies of the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws are available as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Table of Contents

Following completion of the Redomestication, in addition to being governed by the Nevada Charter, Nevada Bylaws, and the NRS, the Company will continue to exist in the form of a Nevada corporation. By virtue of the Redomestication, all the rights, privileges, and powers of the Delaware Corporation, and all property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts due to the Delaware Corporation, as well as all other things and causes of action belonging to the Delaware Corporation, will remain vested in the Nevada Corporation and will be the property of the Nevada Corporation. In addition, all debts, liabilities, and duties of the Delaware Corporation will remain attached to the Nevada Corporation and may be enforced against the Nevada Corporation.

There will be no change in our business, properties, assets, liabilities, obligations, or management because of the Redomestication. Similarly, our directors and officers immediately prior to the Redomestication will continue to serve in the same capacity immediately following the completion of the Redomestication. We will also continue to maintain our corporate headquarters in Denver, Colorado.

No Securities Act Consequences

The Company will continue to be a publicly held company following completion of the Redomestication, and its common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market and traded under the symbol “OBLG”. The Company will continue to file required periodic reports and other documents with the SEC. There is not expected to be any interruption in the trading of the common stock as a result of the Redomestication. We and our stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Redomestication as we and our stockholders were prior to the Redomestication.

Key Differences Between the Delaware Charter and Bylaws and the Nevada Charter and Bylaws

The Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws differ in several respects from the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws, respectively. Set forth below is a table summarizing certain material differences in the rights of our stockholders under Nevada and Delaware law, and under the respective charters and bylaws. This chart does not attempt to address each difference, but instead focuses on those differences which we believe are most relevant and material to our stockholders. This chart is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NRS, the Nevada Charter, the Nevada Bylaws, the DGCL, the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws.

Table of Contents

Provision	Delaware	Nevada
Charter Regarding Limitation of Liability	The Delaware Charter provide that a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (c) for the payment of unlawful dividends, stock repurchases or redemptions; or (d) for any transaction in which the director received an improper personal benefit.	The Nevada Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS, the liability of directors and officers of the Company shall be eliminated or limited.
Charter Regarding Voting Rights of Preferred Stock	There is no corresponding provision in the Delaware Charter.	The Nevada Charter provides that, except as otherwise required by law, the holders of any series of preferred stock shall be entitled to only such voting rights, if any, as shall expressly be granted thereto by the Nevada Charter, including the certificate of designation relating to such series of preferred stock.

Removal of Directors	The Delaware Bylaws provide that any director or the entire board may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Company then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.	The Nevada Bylaws provide that any director or the entire board may at any time be removed, with or without cause, by the vote, either in person or represented by proxy, of not less than two-thirds of the voting power generally in the election of directors, which is the lowest permitted voting threshold for removal of a director under the NRS.
Bylaws Regarding Proxies	Under the DGCL, no proxy authorized by a stockholder shall be valid after three years from the date of its execution unless the proxy provides for a longer period.	Under the NRS, proxies are valid for six months from the date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period of up to seven years.
Bylaws Regarding Indemnification of Directors and Officers	The Delaware Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred each person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding and each person who (i) a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders, authorizes the indemnification of when that person is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, or investigation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party of any, threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. However, under the Delaware Bylaws, no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.	The Nevada Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS (including, without limitation, NRS 78.7502 and 78.751) as then in effect or as amended from time to time, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred each person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding and each person who (i) a majority of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders, authorizes the indemnification of when that person is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, or investigation by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, or serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, or who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party of any, threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. However, under the Nevada Bylaws, no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duty to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.
Bylaws Regarding Virtual Stockholder Meetings	There is no corresponding provision in the Delaware Bylaws.	The Nevada Bylaws provide that any meeting of the stockholders may be held solely by means of remote communications, subject to any limitations in the NRS.
Bylaws Regarding Annual Meetings of Stockholders	The Delaware Bylaws provide that annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such time and date as shall be designated from time to time by the board.	The Nevada Bylaws provide that annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such time and date as shall be designated from time to time by the board, and provide that, unless restricted by the Nevada Charter or applicable law, the Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule, or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders.
Bylaws Regarding Quorum	The Delaware Bylaws provide that holders of one-third of the capital stock issued and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business.	The Nevada Bylaws provide that one-third of the voting power, which includes the voting power that is present in person or by proxy, regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

Comparison of Stockholder Rights Under Delaware and Nevada Law

The rights of our stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL, the Delaware Charter and the Delaware Bylaws. Following completion of the Redomestication, the rights of the Company's stockholders will be governed by the NRS, the Nevada Charter and the Nevada Bylaws.

The statutory corporate laws of Nevada, as governed by the NRS, are similar in many respects to those of Delaware, as governed by the DGCL. However, there are certain differences that may affect your rights as a stockholder, as well as the corporate governance of the Company. The following are brief summaries of material differences between the current rights of stockholders of the Company and the rights of stockholders of the Company following completion of the Redomestication. The following discussion does not provide a complete description of the differences that may affect your rights as a stockholder. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NRS and DGCL as well as to the Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws and the Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws.

Increasing or Decreasing Authorized Capital Stock. Delaware law does not have a provision permitting the board of directors of a corporation to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in a class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any class or series of the corporation’s shares (and change the par value thereof) without a vote of the stockholders. NRS 78.207 allows the board of directors of a Nevada corporation, unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares of a class or series of the corporation's shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of the same class or series of the corporation's shares (and change the par value thereof) without a vote of the stockholders, as long as the action taken (i) does not adversely change or alter any right or preference of the stockholders and does not include provisions pursuant to which only money will be paid or scrip issued to stockholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the affected class and series, and (ii) who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractions of shares in exchange for the cancellation of all of their outstanding shares. Delaware law has no similar provision. In such circumstances, the proposed increase or decrease must be approved by the stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the affected class or series.

The Nevada Charter does not alter the statutory default provisions.

Classified Board of Directors. The DGCL permits any Delaware corporation to classify its board of directors into as many as three classes with staggered terms of office. If this is done, the stockholders elect only one class each year and each class would have a term of office of three years. The Delaware Charter and Delaware Bylaws do not provide for a classified board of directors. The NRS also permits any Nevada corporation to classify its board of directors into any number of classes with staggered terms of office, as long as at least one-fourth of the total number of directors is elected annually. The Nevada Charter and Nevada Bylaws do not provide for a classified board of directors, and thus our stockholders will continue to elect the full board of directors each year for a one-year term following the consummation of the Redomestication.

Cumulative Voting. Cumulative voting for directors entitles each stockholder to cast a number of votes that is equal to the number of voting shares held by such stockholder, multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and to cast all such votes for one nominee or distribute such votes among up to as many candidates as there are positions to be filled. Cumulative voting may enable a minority stockholder or group of stockholders to elect at least one representative to the board of directors where such stockholders would not be able to elect any directors without cumulative voting.

Although the DGCL does not generally grant stockholders cumulative voting rights, a Delaware corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation for cumulative voting in the election of directors. The NRS also permits any Nevada corporation to provide in its articles of incorporation the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors if certain procedures are followed.

Table of Contents

The Delaware Charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Similarly, the Nevada Charter does not provide for cumulative voting.

Vacancies. Under both the DGCL and the NRS, subject to the certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws, vacancies on the board of directors, including those resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Any director so appointed will hold office for the remainder of the term of the director no longer on the board. Both the Delaware Bylaws and Nevada Bylaws follow this default provision.

Removal of Directors. Under the DGCL, the holders of a majority of shares of each class entitled to vote at an election of directors may vote to remove any director or the entire board without cause unless (i) the board is a classified board, in which case directors may be removed only for cause, or (ii) the corporation has cumulative voting, in which case, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against their removal would be sufficient to elect him or her. Currently, the Delaware Bylaws provide that directors may be removed with or without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. However, the NRS does not make a distinction between removal for or without cause, and, therefore, the Nevada Corporation will permit removal with or without cause. The NRS requires the vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the shares or class or series of shares of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at an election of directors in order to remove a director or all of the directors. Nevada law does not permit the vote of less than the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power to remove a director; however, the Nevada Bylaws will, like the Delaware Bylaws, afford stockholders the ability to remove directors without cause.

Fiduciary Duties and Business Judgment. Nevada requires that directors and officers of Nevada corporations exercise their powers in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation but unlike some other jurisdictions (such as Delaware), fiduciary duties of directors and officers are codified in the NRS. As a matter of statute, directors and officers are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis, and with a view to the interests of the corporation in making business decisions. In performing such duties, directors and officers may exercise their business judgment through reliance on information, opinions, reports, financial statements, and other financial data prepared or presented by corporate directors, officers, or employees who are reasonably believed to be reliable and competent. Reliance may also be based upon: (i) advice or information provided by legal counsel, public accountants, advisers, bankers, or other persons reasonably believed to be competent; and (ii) the work of a committee (on which the particular director or officer does not serve) if the committee was established and empowered by the corporation's board of directors, and if the committee's work was within its designated authority and relates to matters on which the committee was reasonably believed to merit confidence. However, directors and officers may not rely on such information, opinions, reports, books of account, or similar statements if they have knowledge concerning the matter in question that would make such reliance unwarranted.

Under Delaware law, members of the board of directors or any committee designated by the board of directors are similarly entitled to rely in good faith upon the records of the corporation and upon such information, opinions, reports and statements presented to the corporation by corporate officers, employees, committees of the board of directors or other persons as to matters such member reasonably believes are within such other person's professional or expert competence, provided that such other person has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the corporation. Such appropriate reliance on records and other information protects directors from liability related to decisions made based on such records and other information. Both Delaware and Nevada law extend the statutory protection for reliance on such persons to corporate officers. The Nevada directors and officers will, therefore, be subject to their statutory duties and protections as set forth above.

Flexibility for Decisions, Including Takeovers. Nevada provides directors with more discretion than Delaware in making corporate decisions, including decisions made in takeover situations. Under Nevada law, director and officer actions taken in response to a change or potential change in control are generally protected by the statutory business judgment rule. However, in the case of an action to resist a change or potential change in control that impedes the rights of stockholders to vote for or remove directors, directors will only be given the benefit of the presumption of the business judgment rule if the directors have reasonable grounds to believe a threat to corporate policy and effectiveness exists, and if the action taken that impedes the exercise of the stockholders' rights is reasonable in relation to such threat.

In exercising their powers, including in response to a change or potential change of control, directors and officers of Nevada corporations may consider all relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies, which may include, without limitation, the effect of the decision on several corporate constituencies in addition to the stockholders, including the corporation's employees, suppliers, creditors and customers, the economy of the state and nation, the interests of the community and society in general, and the long-term as well as short-term interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by the continued independence of the corporation. The NRS specifically states that such directors and officers are not required to consider the effect of a proposed corporate action upon any constituent as a dominant factor. Further, a director may resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the board of directors determines that the change or potential change of control is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation, upon consideration of any relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies, including that there are reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time the corporation or any successor would be or become insolvent and subjected to bankruptcy proceedings.

Significantly, the DGCL does not provide a similar list of statutory factors that corporate directors and officers may consider in making decisions. Instead, in a number of cases and in certain situations, Delaware law has been interpreted to provide that fiduciary duties require directors to accept an offer from the highest bidder regardless of the effect of such sale on the corporate constituencies other than the stockholders. Thus, the flexibility granted to directors of Nevada corporations when making business decisions, including in the context of a hostile takeover, is significantly greater than that granted to directors of Delaware corporations. In light of the Nevada constituency statute, our Board will have greater discretion in determining the appropriate factors to take into consideration when making corporate decisions than it currently has under Delaware law.

Limitation on Personal Liability of Directors and Officers. The NRS and the DGCL each, by way of statutory provisions or permitted provisions in corporate charter documents, eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors and officers to the corporation or their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty, subject to the differences discussed below.

Table of Contents

The DGCL permits corporations to adopt charter provisions exculpating directors from monetary liability to the corporation and its stockholders for breaches of the directors' duty of care, but the statute precludes liability limitation for breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct and for paying dividends or repurchasing stock out of other than lawfully available funds. With respect to a corporation's most senior officers namely, the chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer and chief accounting officer, as well as any other persons identified as "named executive officers" in a corporation’s most recent SEC filings or who otherwise consent to jurisdiction under Delaware's long-arm statute applicable to directors and officers of Delaware corporations the DGCL authorizes similar limitations of liability, but only in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders, including class actions. The DGCL does not, however, authorize a limitation on liability of officers for breach of fiduciary duty arising out of claims brought by the corporation itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the corporation.

Under the NRS, and unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater liability, in order for a director or officer to be individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for damages as a result of any act or failure to act, the presumption of the business judgment rule must be rebutted and it must be proven that the director's or officer's act or failure to act constituted a breach of their fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and that the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. Unlike the DGCL, however, the limitation on director and officer liability under the NRS does not distinguish the duty of loyalty or transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit, but does, pursuant to NRS 78.300, impose limited personal liability on directors for distributions made in violation of NRS 78.288. Further, the NRS permits a corporation to renounce in its articles of incorporation any interest or expectancy to participate in specific or specified classes or categories of business opportunities. Both the DGCL and the NRS permit limitation of liability, which applies to both directors and officers, though the NRS also expressly applies this limitation to liabilities owed to creditors of the corporation. Furthermore, under the NRS, it is not necessary for a corporation to adopt provisions in its articles of incorporation limiting personal liability of directors or officers, as this limitation is provided by statute.

The Delaware Charter provides for exculpation of directors except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit, but does not provide for exculpation of directors and officers as described above under Nevada law.

As described above, the NRS generally provides broader protection from personal liability for directors and officers than the DGCL. The Nevada Charter provides for exculpation of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.

Indemnification. The NRS and the DGCL each have statutory mechanisms that permit corporations to indemnify directors, officers, employees, and agents in similar circumstances, subject to the differences discussed below.

Table of Contents

In suits that are not brought by or in the right of the corporation, both jurisdictions' statutory indemnification mechanisms permit a corporation to indemnify current and former directors, officers, employees, and agents for attorneys' fees and other expenses, judgments, and amounts paid in settlement that the person actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding. The person seeking indemnity may recover under these statutory provisions as long as they acted in good faith and believed their actions were either in the best interests of, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. Under the indemnification mechanism provided under the NRS, the person seeking indemnity may also be indemnified if they are not held liable for breach of their fiduciary duties. Similarly, with respect to a criminal proceeding, the person seeking indemnification must not have had any reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The articles of incorporation may provide for further indemnification than that described in the statutory mechanism provided under the NRS.

In derivative suits, a corporation in either jurisdiction may indemnify its directors, officers, employees, or agents for expenses that the person actually and reasonably incurred. A corporation may not indemnify a person if the person was adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court otherwise orders.

Under the statutory indemnification mechanism in either jurisdiction, no corporation may indemnify a party unless it decides that indemnification is proper. Under the DGCL, the corporation, through its stockholders, directors, or independent legal counsel, will determine whether the conduct of the person seeking indemnity conformed to the statutory provisions governing indemnity. Similarly, under the statutory indemnification mechanisms under the NRS, the corporation, through its stockholders, directors, or independent counsel, must determine that the indemnification is proper.

The indemnification pursuant to the statutory mechanisms available under the NRS, as described above, does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. However, unless otherwise ordered by a court, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of any appeals taken therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, and such misconduct, fraud or violation was material to the cause of action.

The Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS (subject to the terms set forth in the Nevada Bylaws), which is necessary to ensure that we can attract high-quality and experienced directors.

Advancement of Expenses. The DGCL and NRS have substantially similar provisions regarding indemnification by a corporation of its officers, directors, employees, and agents.

The DGCL provides that expenses incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized under the DGCL. A Delaware corporation has the discretion to decide whether or not to advance such defense expenses, unless its certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for mandatory advancement.

Table of Contents

The NRS similarly provides that unless otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation, the bylaws or an agreement made by the corporation, the corporation may pay defense expenses of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amo
