QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

What is a proxy statement?

A proxy statement is a document that we are required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, to give you when we ask you to provide a proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Among other things, this Proxy Statement describes the proposals on which stockholders will be voting and provides information about us.

Why did I receive this Proxy Statement?

We are soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. We will use the proxies received in connection with proposals to:

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of the Company as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other nominee in order to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you must pre-register at www.cesonlineservices.com/onfo24_vm, by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

You will be able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting the website(s) indicated in your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the virtual Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you may need the control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials or other information as instructed through your broker, bank or other holder of record. Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, or other nominee to obtain your control number or other instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

In order to ensure that the virtual Annual Meeting provides stockholders with a meaningful opportunity to participate, stockholders will be able to ask questions of the Board and management both at the time of registration and during the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may submit questions during the Annual Meeting by typing questions in the question/chat section of the meeting screen. Questions relevant to meeting matters will be answered during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints and in accordance with the rules of conduct for the Annual Meeting.

The virtual online meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in. Please follow the registration instructions as outlined in this Proxy Statement.

What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual Annual Meeting?

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual Annual Meeting website(s). If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Annual Meeting website(s) during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Annual Meeting login page.

Who may attend the Annual Meeting?

Only record holders and beneficial owners of our common stock, or their duly authorized proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

The Board has fixed the close of business on June 17, 2024 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only stockholders who owned our common stock on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 5,107,395 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each share of our common stock that you own as of the Record Date entitles you to one vote.

What is the difference between holding shares as a record holder and as a beneficial owner (holding shares in street name)?

If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”), you are the “record holder” of those shares. If you are a record holder, these proxy materials have been provided directly to you by the Company. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares. The majority of our stockholders hold their shares in street name.

What am I voting on?

There are three (3) matters scheduled for a vote:

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives authority to the designated proxy holders to vote on such matters according to their best judgment.

How do I vote?

Record Holders:

If you vote by Internet, please DO NOT mail your proxy card.

Beneficial Owners (Holding Shares in Street Name):

If you vote by phone or Internet, please DO NOT mail your proxy card.

When must my votes be received by?

All shares entitled to vote and represented by a properly completed and executed proxy received before the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as instructed in a proxy delivered before the Annual Meeting. If you do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly completed and executed proxy will be voted as the Board recommends on each of the enumerated proposals, with regard to any other matters that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting and on all matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. If you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you may need the control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials or other voting instructions from the broker, bank, or other holder of record in order to attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote your shares. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

How many votes do I have?

Each share of our common stock that you own as of the Record Date entitles you to one vote.

Is my vote confidential?

Yes, your vote is confidential. Only the inspector of elections, individuals who help with processing and counting your votes and persons who need access for legal reasons will have access to your vote. This information will not be disclosed, except as required by law.

What happens if I return my signed proxy card but forget to indicate how I want my shares of common stock voted?

If you sign, date and return your proxy and do not mark how you want to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote “FOR” all nominees for director and “FOR” all of the other proposals.

What are “broker non-votes”?

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker, bank, or other nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on “non-routine” proposals. If shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker, bank, or other nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker, bank, or other nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are “routine” under applicable rules but cannot vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” matters. On non-routine proposals, any “uninstructed shares” may not be voted by the broker, bank, or other nominee and are “broker non-votes.” Proposal Nos. 2 and 3 are considered “routine” matters for this purpose and brokers, banks, or other nominees generally have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposals. Brokers, banks, and other nominees do not have authority to vote on Proposal No. 1 without voting instruction from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes will be counted to determine if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

Can I revoke or change my voting instructions before the meeting?

For shares that are held in “street name”, the stockholder must follow the directions provided by its bank, broker or other intermediary for revoking or modifying voting instructions. For shares that are registered in the stockholder’s own name, the proxy may be revoked by written notification to the Company Secretary prior to its exercise and providing relevant name and account information, submitting a new proxy card with a later date (which will override the earlier proxy) or voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for the election of directors, “FOR,” “WITHHOLD” and broker non-votes; and, with respect to the other proposal, votes “FOR,”“AGAINST,” “ABSTAIN,” and broker non-votes.

What constitutes a quorum?

As of the Record Date, 5,107,395 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. The presence, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of these outstanding shares is necessary to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

How many votes are needed for each proposal to pass?

What are the voting procedures?

In voting by proxy with regard to the election of directors, you may vote in favor of all nominees, withhold your votes as to all nominees, or vote in favor of specific nominees and withhold your votes as to specific nominees. With regard to other proposals, you may vote in favor of the proposal or against the proposal, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal. You should specify your respective choices on the accompanying proxy card or your vote instruction form.

Who is paying for the expenses involved in preparing and mailing this proxy statement?

The Company pays for the cost of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors. [We have retained Morrow Sodali LLC, 470 West Ave., Stamford, Connecticut 06902, to aid in the solicitation of proxy materials for the estimated fee of $7,500 plus expenses]. The Company also will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners. Subject to SEC Rule 14a-16, proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, email, other electronic means or in person. Directors, officers and regular, full-time employees of the Company, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for their services, may by telephone, facsimile, email or other electronic means or personally, request the return of proxies.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

Do the Company’s officers and directors have an interest in any of the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting?

Members of the Board have an interest in Proposal No. 1, as all of the nominees are currently members of the Board. Members of the Board and executive officers of the Company do not have any interest in Proposal No. 2. Members of the Board and executive officers of the Company do not have any substantial interest in Proposal No. 3, except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our common stock and equity awards granted to them pursuant to our 2020 equity incentive plan.

Who are the largest principal stockholders?

See “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement for a table setting forth each owner of greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock as of the Record Date.

What percentages of stock do the directors and officers own?

Together, they own approximately 39.03% of our Company common stock as of the Record Date. For information regarding the ownership of our common stock by management, see the section entitled “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

Do I have dissenters’ rights of appraisal?

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to any of the items proposed to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Where can I find general information about the Company?

General information about us can be found on our website located at https://www.onfolio.com. The information on our website is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for investment purposes. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and should not be considered part of this Proxy Statement or any other report that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We make available free of charge, either by direct access on our website or a link to the SEC’s website, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Our reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC are also available directly at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

What does it mean if I get more than one proxy card or voting instruction form?

It means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. You must return all a proxy cards or voting instruction forms to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy materials. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, stockholders may contact:

Whom should I contact with other questions?

Our Company has adopted a code of conduct applicable to its employees, directors and officers, in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq. A copy of this code of conduct is available on the “Investor Relations-Corporate Governance” page our principal corporate website located at https://www.onfolio.com. Requests for a copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct should be directed to Investor Relations, Onfolio Holdings Inc., 1007 North Orange Street, 4th Floor Wilmington, Delaware 19801. Any substantive amendments or waivers of the code of conduct or any similar code(s) subsequently adopted for senior financial officers may be made only by our Board and will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq, including by posting such information on our Company’s website or by filing a Form 8-K.

Director Independence Standards

Applicable Nasdaq rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under applicable Nasdaq rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Director Independence

During June 2024, our Board of Directors undertook a review of the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and the independence of each of our directors. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Andrew “A.J.” Lawrence, David McKeegan, Robert J. Lipstein, and Mark Schwartz are “independent directors” as defined under applicable Nasdaq Stock Market Rules and Exchange Act Rules. In making such determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has/had with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining his/her independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. The one member of our Board of Directors who is not an “independent director” is Dominic Wells as a result of his executive officer status with our Company.

There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has established the committees described below and may establish others from time to time. The charters for each of our committees are described below and are available on the “Investor Relations-Corporate Governance” page of the Company’s website located at https://www.onfolio.com. All of our committees are compliant with the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules.

Audit Committee

We have a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. Our Audit Committee is comprised of Robert Lipstein, Mark Schwartz and David McKeegan. Mr. Lipstein is the chairperson of the committee. Each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. Our Board of Directors has designated Robert Lipstein as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee’s purpose and power are to (a) retain, oversee and terminate, as necessary, the auditors of our Company, (b) oversee our Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit and preparation of our Company’s financial statements, (c) exercise such other powers and authority as are set forth in the charter of the audit committee of the Board, and (d) exercise such other powers and authority as shall from time to time be assigned thereto by resolution of the Board.

AUDIT COMMITTEEREPORT

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

Role of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities are generally as follows:

The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Audit Committee’s charter. In overseeing the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee met with management and the Company’s outside auditors, including meetings with the outside auditors without management present, to review and discuss all financial statements prior to their issuance and to discuss significant accounting issues. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee discussed the statements with both management and the outside auditors. The Audit Committee’s review included discussion with the outside auditors of matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the SEC.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the Company’s outside auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the outside auditor’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the outside auditors the outside auditor’s independence.

Recommendations of the Audit Committee. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the SEC.

Each of the five directors standing for reelection at the Annual Meeting have expressed their willingness to serve as a director.

When new candidates for our Board of Directors are sought, all of our directors evaluate each candidate for nomination as director within the context of the needs and the composition of the Board of Directors as a whole. The Board of Directors conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of candidates. When evaluating director nominees, our Board of Directors generally seeks to identify individuals with diverse, yet complementary backgrounds. Our directors consider both the personal characteristics and experience of director nominees, including each nominee’s independence, diversity, age, skills, expertise, time availability and industry background in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors and the Company. The Board of Directors believes that director nominees should exhibit proven leadership capabilities and experience at a high level of responsibility within their chosen fields, and have the experience and ability to analyze business issues facing our Company. In addition to business expertise, the Board of Directors requires that director nominees have the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and, above all, are committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders and other stakeholders. Our Policy Guide on Director Qualifications is available on the “Investor Relations-Corporate Governance” page our principal corporate website located at https://www.onfolio.com. To date, all new candidates have been identified and recommended by members of our Board of Directors, including management and non-management directors, our principal executive officer, and other executive officers, and we have not paid any fee to a third party to assist in the process of identifying or evaluating director candidates.

Our directors will consider candidates for nomination as director who are recommended by a stockholder and will not evaluate any candidate for nomination for director differently because the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. To date, we have not received or rejected any suggestions for a director candidate recommended by any stockholder or group of stockholders owning more than 5% of our common stock.

When submitting candidates for nomination to be elected at our annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders should follow the following notice procedures and comply with applicable provisions of our bylaws. To consider a candidate recommended by a stockholder for nomination at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the recommendation must be delivered or mailed to and received by our Secretary within the time periods discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Stockholder Proposals for 2025 Annual Meeting.” The recommendation must include the information specified in our bylaws for stockholder nominees to be considered at an annual meeting, along with the following:

The information listed above is not a complete list of requisite information. The secretary will forward any timely recommendations containing the required information to our independent directors for consideration.

No material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors has occurred since we last provided disclosure regarding these procedures.

Board Leadership Structure

Our bylaws provide the Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chair of the Board of Directors and Principal Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure is in the best interests of our Company. Our current structure is that one person, Dominic Wells, serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Wells serves as our Principal Executive Officer and is responsible for the overall general management of the Company and supervision of Company policies, setting the Company’s strategies, formulating and overseeing the Company’s business plan, raising capital, expanding the Company’s management team and the general promotion of the Company. He also performs certain functions related to our corporate governance, including coordinating certain board activities, setting relevant items on the agenda and ensuring adequate communication between the Board of Directors and management, which he does in conjunction with the other independent directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that presently, this leadership structure is appropriate for the size of our Company. Also, due to the smaller size of our Board of Directors, our Company has no lead independent director.

Risk Oversight

The Board oversees risk management directly and through its committees associated with their respective subject matter areas. Generally, the Board oversees risks that may affect the business of the Company as a whole, including operational matters. The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and also discusses with management the Company’s financial statements, internal controls and other accounting and related matters. The Compensation Committee oversees certain risks related to compensation programs and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees certain corporate governance risks. As part of their roles in overseeing risk management, these Committees periodically report to the Board regarding briefings provided by management and advisors as well as the Committees’ own analysis and conclusions regarding certain risks faced by the Company. Management is responsible for implementing the risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks. The interaction with management occurs not only at formal board and committee meetings, but also through periodic and other written and oral communications.

Meetings of the Board and Committees; Meeting Attendance

During 2023, there were 11 meetings of the Board of Directors. During fiscal 2023, all of the directors attended over 75% of the Board and committee meetings for which the directors served. The Board of Directors also acted at times by unanimous written consent, as authorized by our bylaws and Delaware General Corporation Law.

We have no policy regarding the attendance of the members of our Board of Directors at our annual meetings of security holders. All of the members of our Board of Directors attended our 2023 annual meeting.

Executives are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, in each case on the same terms as our other employees. No employee benefit plans are in place solely for the benefit of our executives.

Change in Control Benefits

Pursuant to the terms of our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, our executives are entitled to certain benefits in the event of a change in control of our Company or the termination of their employment under specified circumstances, including termination following a change in control. We believe these benefits help us compete for and retain executive talent and are generally in line with severance packages offered to executives by the companies in our peer group. We also believe that these benefits would serve to minimize the distraction caused by any change in control scenario and reduce the risk that key talent would leave the Company before any such transaction closes, which could reduce the value of the Company if such transaction failed to close.

The table below summarizes all of the outstanding equity awards for our named executive officers as of December 31, 2023, our latest fiscal year end:

Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to Our Risk Management

Our compensation program for employees does not create incentives for excessive risk taking by our employees or involve risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Our compensation has the following risk-limiting characteristics:

Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Policy

We have adopted a compensation recovery policy (a “clawback policy”) that applies to incentive compensation. The purpose of the clawback policy is to enable the Company to recover erroneously awarded compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. Under the clawback policy, an accounting restatement means an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. In the clawback policy, erroneously awarded compensation generally means, in the event of an accounting restatement, the amount of incentive-based compensation previously received that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts in the accounting restatement. The clawback policy is annexed to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as Exhibit 97.1.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As of the Record Date, we had outstanding 5,107,395 shares of common stock. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to each matter on which it is entitled to vote.

PROPOSAL ONE

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the time of the Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors will consist of five (5) directors: Dominic Wells, Andrew Lawrence, David McKeegan, Robert J. Lipstein and Mark N. Schwartz. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will elect five directors for a one (1) year term to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until a successor for such director is elected and qualified, or until the death, resignation or removal of such director. All five of our current directors are standing for reelection at the Annual Meeting.

Nominees

Based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board proposes that the individuals listed below as nominees be elected as directors. The nominees have agreed to serve if elected, and our Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the nominees will be unavailable or will decline to serve. In the event, however, that a nominee is unable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for any nominee who is selected by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the current Board of Directors to fill the vacancy.

The Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may evaluate individuals in the future to consider additional members for our Board of Directors following the Annual Meeting. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named.

Set forth below is information regarding the nominees for election to our Board of Directors:

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy, meaning the five (5) nominees receiving the most votes will be elected as directors. A “withhold” vote with respect to any nominee will have no effect on the election of that nominee, and broker non-votes will also have no effect on the election of the nominees. Stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the election of all of the above nominees.

All the services performed by BF Borgers that are described above were pre-approved by the Company’s audit committee. The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services on a case-by-case basis.

None of the hours expended on BF Borgers’ engagement to audit the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were attributed to work performed by persons other than BF Borgers’ full-time, permanent employees.

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on each of May 3, 2024 and May 14, 2024:

Termination of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 3, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s audit committee unanimously approved the decision to dismiss BF Borgers.

BF Borgers’ reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that BF Borgers’ reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained the following paragraph:

“The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

There have been no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) and no “reportable event” occurred (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of BF Borgers’ dismissal between the Company and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the Company’s financial statements for those periods.

BF Borgers’s is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission, as a result, we did not request BF Borgers to furnish our Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made in the May 3, 2024 Form 8-K.

Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On May 14, 2024, the Company’s audit committee unanimously approved the engagement of Astra as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of BF Borgers’ dismissal, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Astra regarding any matter that would require disclosure under Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

Vote Required

The vote required to ratify the appointment of Astra to serve as our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 is the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this proposal. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify the appointment of Astra to serve as our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

PROPOSAL THREE

AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

Background and Proposed Amendment

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that our Company is authorized to issue is 55,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock have been designated by our Board of Directors as series A preferred stock.

On May 17, 2024, subject to stockholder approval, our Board of Directors approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to, at the discretion of the Board, effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-5, with the exact ratio to be determined by the Board of the Company at its discretion. The primary goal of the reverse stock split is to increase the per share market price of our common stock to meet the minimum per share bid price requirement of at least $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We believe that proposing a range for the reverse stock split provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the reverse stock split, if in fact, the Board does implement the reverse stock split.

If the proposal to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock (the “reverse stock split proposal” or “Proposal No. 3”) is approved by our stockholders and the reverse stock split is effected, up to every 5 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock would be combined and reclassified into one share of common stock. The actual timing for implementation of the reverse stock split and the specific split ratio would be determined by our Board of Directors based upon its evaluation as to when such action would be most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders, but in no event later than the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournments thereof. Notwithstanding approval of the reverse stock split proposal by our stockholders, our Board of Directors will have the sole authority to elect whether or not and when to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split. If the reverse stock split proposal is approved by our stockholders, our Board of Directors will make a determination as to whether effecting the reverse stock split is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders in light of, among other things, the Company’s ability to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the minimum stock price standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market without effecting the reverse stock split, the per share price of our common stock immediately prior to the reverse stock split and the expected stability of the per share price of our common stock following the reverse stock split. If our Board of Directors determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to effect the reverse stock split, it will adopt resolutions establishing the final ratio for the reverse stock split. We will notify Nasdaq of our intention to effect the reverse stock split in accordance with then-current regulations applicable thereto and will provide public notice of the reverse stock split prior to the proposed market effective date. For additional information concerning the factors our Board of Directors will consider in deciding whether to effect the reverse stock split, please see “Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio” and “Board Discretion to Effect the Reverse Stock Split.”

The text of the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. If the reverse stock split proposal is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company will have the authority to file the proposed amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which will become effective upon its filing. Our Board of Directors has determined that the reverse stock split proposal is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and has submitted the amendment for consideration by our stockholders at this Annual Meeting and any postponements or adjournments thereof.

The Board intends to implement the reverse stock split only if necessary to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement at some future point in time, otherwise, the reverse stock split will likely not be necessary, and the Board reserves the right to abandon the reverse stock split.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

Maintain Nasdaq Listing

We are submitting this proposal to our stockholders for approval in order to ensure the trading price of our common stock continues to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Failure to do so could result in our common stock being delisted from Nasdaq. Accordingly, we believe that the reverse stock split proposal is in our stockholders’ best interests.

On October 25, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq that because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar days from October 25, 2023, or until April 22, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On April 23, 2024, Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff notified the Company that it had extended the time period for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement until October 21, 2024 after we provided to Nasdaq written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. On June 25, 2024, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq that the Staff had determined that for 10 consecutive business days, from June 10 to June 24, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)) and the matter is now closed. The Company is  evaluating all available options to maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

We believe that the reverse stock split would be a valuable tool  for us to utilize in the event we again fail to meet the criteria to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. A decrease in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock resulting from the reverse stock split should, absent other factors, assist in ensuring that the per share market price of our common stock remains above the requisite price for continued listing. However, we cannot provide any assurance that, if the reverse stock split is implemented, our minimum bid price would remain over the minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Capital Market following the reverse stock split.

Potential Increased Interest from New Investors 

If the reverse stock split is implemented, we believe increasing the trading price of our common stock may also assist in our capital-raising efforts by making our common stock more attractive to a broader range of investors and promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. A greater price per share of our common stock could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our common stock (namely, funds that are prohibited or discouraged from buying stocks with a price below a certain threshold), potentially increasing marketability, trading volume and liquidity of our common stock. Many institutional investors view stocks trading at low prices as unduly speculative in nature and, as a result, avoid investing in such stocks. We believe that the reverse stock split would provide the Board flexibility to make our common stock a more attractive investment for these institutional investors, which we believe will enhance the liquidity for the holders of our common stock and may facilitate future sales of our common stock.

The reverse stock split could also increase interest in our common stock for analysts and brokers who may otherwise have policies that discourage or prohibit them in following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on transactions in low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split, if Implemented

The Reverse Stock Split May Not Increase the Price of Our Common Stock Over the Long-Term.

As noted above, the principal purpose of the reverse stock split is to increase the trading price of our common stock to meet the minimum stock price standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, if the reverse stock split is implemented,  the effect of the reverse stock split on the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time, or at all. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will proportionally increase the market price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the reverse stock split will increase the market price of our common stock by a multiple of the reverse stock split ratio or result in any permanent or sustained increase in the market price of our common stock. The market price of our common stock may be affected by other factors that may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including the Company’s business and financial performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success.

The Reverse Stock Split May Decrease the Liquidity of Our Common Stock.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the Board believes that the reverse stock split may result in an increase in the market price of our common stock, which could lead to increased interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, the reverse stock split will also reduce the total number of outstanding shares of common stock, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our common stock, particularly if the price per share of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.

The Reverse Stock Split May Result in Some Stockholders Owning “Odd Lots” that may be More Difficult to Sell or Require Greater Transaction Costs per Share to Sell.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, it will increase the number of stockholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of common stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares of common stock (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own fewer than 100 shares of common stock following the reverse stock split may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their common stock.

The Reverse Stock Split May Lead to a Decrease in Our Overall Market Capitalization.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the reverse stock split may be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share market price of our common stock does not increase in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio, then the value of our Company, as measured by our market capitalization, will be reduced. Additionally, any reduction in our market capitalization may be magnified as a result of the smaller number of total shares of common stock outstanding following the reverse stock split.

The Reverse Stock Split May Cause A “Short Squeeze” of Our Common Stock.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the total issued shares of common stock will be reduced by the reverse stock split ratio. For example, if the board of directors adopts a 1-for-5 reverse stock split ratio, the 5,107,395 shares of common stock issued as of June 17, 2024 prior to the reverse stock split will be reduced to approximately 1,021,479 issued shares of common stock post-reverse stock split. Investors may purchase shares of our common stock to hedge existing exposure or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase on the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase shares of our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may, in turn, dramatically increase the price of shares of our common stock until additional shares of our common stock are available for trading or borrowing. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze and/or focused investor trading in anticipation of a short squeeze may lead to volatile price movements in shares of our common stock that may be unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance or prospects and, once investors purchase the shares of our common stock necessary to cover their short positions, or if investors no longer believe a short squeeze is viable, the price of our common stock may rapidly decline.

Potential Consequences if the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is Not Approved

If the reverse stock split proposal is not approved by our stockholders, our Board will not have the authority to effect the reverse stock split pursuant to the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to, among other things, facilitate the continued listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market by increasing the per share trading price of our common stock to help ensure a share price high enough to satisfy the $1.00 per share Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Any inability of our Board to effect the reverse stock split could expose us to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio

The Board believes that stockholder approval of the reverse stock split proposal, which gives the Board the discretion to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio of between 1-for-2 and 1-for-5 for the potential reverse stock split is advisable and in the best interests of our Company and stockholders because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the reverse stock split would be implemented. We believe that the reverse stock split proposal’s range provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results in the event a reverse stock split is implemented. The reverse stock split ratio to be selected by our Board will not be more than 1-for-5. If the Board does determine to implement the reverse stock split, we will publicly announce the chosen ratio at least five business days prior to the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, and the reverse stock split will be implemented by the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders at this Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof, if at all.

The selection of the specific reverse stock split ratio will be based on several factors, including, among other things:

We believe that granting our Board the authority to set the ratio for the reverse stock split is essential because it allows us to take these factors into consideration and to react to changing market conditions. If the Board chooses to implement the reverse stock split, the Company will make a public announcement regarding the determination of the reverse stock split ratio.

Board Discretion to Effect the Reverse Stock Split

If the reverse stock split proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Board will have the discretion to implement the reverse stock split or to not effect the reverse stock split at all on or prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders at this Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof. The Board intends to effect the reverse stock split  only if necessary to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement at some point in the future. If the Company maintains compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement,  the reverse stock split will likely not be necessary, and the Board reserves the right to abandon the reverse stock split. Following the reverse stock split, if implemented, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of outstanding shares resulting from the reverse stock split or that the market price of the post-split common stock can be maintained above $1.00. There also can be no assurance that our common stock will not be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market for other reasons.

If our stockholders approve the reverse stock split proposal at this Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof, the reverse stock split will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by the Board that the reverse stock split is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at that time. No further action on the part of the stockholders will be required to either effect or abandon the reverse stock split. If our Board does not implement the reverse stock split prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders at this Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split will be abandoned.

The market price of our common stock is dependent upon our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. If the reverse stock split is effected and the market price of our common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the reverse stock split. Furthermore, the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding after the reverse stock split could significantly reduce the trading volume and otherwise adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock.

We have not proposed the reverse stock split in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of common stock or obtain control of the Company, nor is it a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions to our Board or our stockholders. Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares of common stock following the reverse stock split, our Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

The reverse stock split is not intended to modify the rights of existing stockholders in any material respect.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split, if Implemented

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Issued and Outstanding Shares.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, it will reduce the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by a reverse stock split ratio of between 1- for-2 and 1-for-5. Accordingly, each of our stockholders will own fewer shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split. However, the reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in our Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in an adjustment to a stockholder’s ownership of common stock due to the treatment of fractional shares in the reverse stock split. Therefore, voting rights and other rights, powers and preferences of the holders of common stock will not be affected by the reverse stock split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). Common stock issued pursuant to the reverse stock split will remain fully paid and nonassessable, and the par value per share of common stock will remain $0.001.

For purposes of illustration, if the reverse stock split is implemented at a ratio of 1-for-2, 1-for-3 or 1-for-5, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the reverse stock split would be approximately 2,553,698 shares, 1,702,495 shares and 1,021,479 shares, respectively.

We are currently authorized to issue a maximum of 50,000,000 shares of our common stock. As of the record date, there were 5,107,395 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and 117,260 shares of series A preferred stock issued and outstanding. The number of authorized shares of our common stock and preferred stock will not change as a result of the reverse stock split, but the number of shares of our common stock issued and outstanding will be reduced in proportion to the ratio selected by the Board. Thus, the reverse stock split will effectively increase the number of authorized and unissued shares of our common stock available for future issuance by the amount of the reduction effected by the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split will have no effect on the number of shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Following the reverse stock split, the Board will have the authority, subject to applicable securities laws, to issue all authorized and unissued shares without further stockholder approval, upon such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate.

Effect on Equity Compensation Plan, Outstanding Options

If the reverse stock split is approved and implemented, the total number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Onfolio Holdings Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) would be reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio selected by our Board. As of the record date, there were a total of up to 2,600,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan and 2,200,400 shares remained available for future awards under our Incentive Plan.

Following the reverse stock split, if any, such reserves would be reduced to between up to approximately 1,100,200 and approximately  440,080 shares that would be

available for future grants and awards under our Incentive Plan, depending on the reverse stock split ratio fixed by the Board of Directors within the range approved by our stockholders.

Under the terms of our outstanding options, the reverse stock split would adjust and proportionately reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such options in the same ratio of the reverse stock split and, correspondingly, would proportionately increase the exercise price of such options. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and the exercise price related thereto, would be equitably adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Equity Plan, which may include rounding the number of shares of common stock issuable to the nearest whole share.

Effect on Common Stock Warrants

If the reverse stock split is implemented, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of our outstanding warrants. This will result in the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such securities upon exercise or conversion, and the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon such exercise immediately following the reverse stock split as was the case immediately preceding the reverse stock split. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately adjusted based on the final ratio determined by the Board, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect

If the reverse stock split is implemented, the reverse stock split would result in an increase in the proportion of authorized but unissued shares of common stock relative to our outstanding shares, which could be construed as having an anti-takeover effect. Our Board has not proposed the reverse stock split with the intention of discouraging tender offers or takeover attempts of the Company. However, the availability of additional authorized shares for issuance as a result of the reverse stock split could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult efforts to obtain control of our Company. This proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt, but nothing would prevent our Board from taking any appropriate actions consistent with its fiduciary duties.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Voting Rights.

If the reverse stock split is implemented, proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of common stock would not be affected by the reverse stock split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 1% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the reverse stock split would continue to hold 1% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock after the reverse stock split.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Registration and Stock Trading

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. If the reverse stock split is implemented, the reverse stock split will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act. Following the reverse stock split, our common stock will receive a new CUSIP number.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Authorized Share Capital.

The total number of shares of capital stock that we are authorized to issue and the par value of our capital stock will not be affected by the reverse stock split.

Treatment of Fractional Shares in the Reverse Stock Split, if Implemented

The Company does not intend to issue fractional shares in the event that a stockholder owns a number of shares of common stock that is not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio. If the reverse stock split is implemented, each fractional share of common stock will be:

Reservation of Right to Abandon the Reverse Stock Split Proposal

The Board of Directors reserves the right to abandon the reverse stock split proposal without further action by our stockholders at any time before it is made effective by filing the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, even if stockholders approve such amendment at the Annual Meeting. By voting in favor of the reverse stock split proposal, stockholders are also expressly authorizing the board of directors to determine not to proceed with, and abandon, the reverse stock split proposal if it should so decide.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Certain of our officers and directors have an interest in the reverse stock split proposal as a result of their ownership of shares of common stock in our Company. However, we do not believe that our officers or directors have interests in the reverse stock split proposal that are different than or greater than those of any of our other stockholders.

Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split

If the reverse stock split proposal is approved by our stockholders, the reverse stock split would become effective, if implemented, when the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation is accepted and recorded by the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. However, notwithstanding approval of the reverse stock split proposal by our stockholders, the Board will have the sole authority to elect whether or not and when to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the reverse stock split, which will be at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the reverse stock split is approved by our stockholders at this Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof. Upon the expiration of the one-year anniversary time period, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate and the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation will be abandoned.

Exchange of Share Certificates

If the reverse stock split is implemented, each certificate representing pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse stock split common stock at the effective time of the reverse stock split. As soon as practicable after the effective time of the reverse stock split, the Transfer Agent will mail a letter of transmittal to the Company’s stockholders containing instructions on how a stockholder should surrender its, his or her certificate(s) representing pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock to the Transfer Agent in exchange for certificate(s) representing post-reverse stock split shares of common stock. No certificate(s) representing post-reverse stock split shares of common stock will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all certificate(s) representing pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the Transfer Agent. No stockholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange its, his or her certificate(s) representing pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock for certificate(s) representing post-reverse stock split shares of common stock registered in the same name.

Stockholders who hold uncertificated shares of common stock electronically in “book-entry” form will have their holdings electronically adjusted by the Transfer Agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the reverse stock split. If any certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock to be exchanged contain a restrictive legend or notation, as applicable, the certificate(s) or book-entry statement(s) representing post-reverse stock split shares of common stock will contain the same restrictive legend or notation.

Any stockholder whose share certificate(s) representing pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock has been lost, stolen or destroyed will only be issued post-reverse stock split common stock after complying with the requirements that the Company and the Transfer Agent customarily apply in connection with lost, stolen or destroyed certificates.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING PRE-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING PRE-REVERSE STOCK SPLIT SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNTIL THEY ARE REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenter’s rights with respect to the reverse stock split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Accounting Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split

If the reverse stock split is implemented,  the par value per share of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.001. Accordingly, on the effective date of the reverse stock split, the stated capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets attributable to our common stock will be reduced in proportion to the size of the reverse stock split ratio, and the additional paid-in-capital account will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged. Per share net income or loss will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. The common stock held in treasury, if any, will be reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, will arise as a result of the reverse stock split.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split, if Implemented

The following is a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split, if implemented. This discussion is included for general information purposes only and does not purport to address all aspects of U.S. federal income tax law that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their particular circumstances. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and current Treasury Regulations, administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could affect the continuing validity of this discussion.

All stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of the reverse stock split. This discussion does not address the tax consequences to stockholders that are subject to special tax rules, such as banks, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, personal holding companies, foreign entities, partnerships, nonresident alien individuals, broker-dealers and tax-exempt entities, persons holding shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, U.S. holders (as defined below) subject to the alternative minimum tax or the unearned income Medicare tax and U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. This summary also assumes that the pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock were, and the post-reverse stock split shares of common stock will be, held as a “capital asset,” as defined in Section 1221 of the Code.

As used herein, the term “U.S. holder” means a holder that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

In general, no gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon the exchange of pre-reverse stock split common stock for post-reverse stock split common stock. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split common stock should be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split common stock exchanged in the reverse stock split. A stockholder’s holding period in the post-reverse stock split common stock should include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split common stock exchanged in the reverse stock split.

As noted above, we will not issue fractional shares of common stock in connection with the reverse stock split. In certain circumstances, stockholders who would be entitled to receive fractional shares of common stock because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the reverse stock split ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of common stock to round up to the next whole post-reverse stock split share of common stock. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the receipt of such an additional fraction of a share of common stock is not clear.

The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the reverse stock split.

Vote Required

The vote required to approve the reverse stock split proposal, is the receipt of “For” votes from a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all of the shares of common stock present or represented by proxy at the meeting and voting on such proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal. Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the reverse stock split proposal.
