How do Proxies Work?

Our Board is asking for your proxy. This means that you authorize persons selected by us to vote your shares at the meeting in the way you instruct and, with regard to any other business that may properly come before the meeting, as they think best.

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?

The Company has adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, if requested to deliver proxy materials, we deliver a single copy of the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we have received contrary instructions from one

2

Table of Contents

or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs, and the environmental impact of our annual meetings. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report 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 Notice, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, you may contact us at the following address and phone number:

Dominari Holdings Inc.
725 5th Avenue, 23rd Floor
New York, New York 10022
Attention: Corporate Secretary
Telephone: (212) 393-4540

Stockholders who hold shares in “street name” (as described below) may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

Who is Entitled to Vote?

Our Board has fixed the close of business on October 13, 2025, as the “Record Date” for a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2025 Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. You can vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting if you held shares of our common stock, Series D convertible preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) or Series D-1 convertible preferred stock (the “Series D-1 Preferred Stock”), collectively, the “Voting Capital” as of the close of business on the Record Date. On the Record Date, there were 15,998,027 shares of common stock outstanding, 3,825 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding and 834 shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

Our outstanding Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to the following number of votes subject to the beneficial ownership limitations described below:

• Series D Preferred Stock — each share of Series D Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 0.007285 votes; and

• Series D-1 Preferred Stock — each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 0.007285 votes.

A list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting will be available for inspection at our principal executive offices located at 725 5th Avenue, 23rd Floor, New York, New York 10022 for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting and during the meeting. The stock transfer books will not be closed between the Record Date and the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting.

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, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 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 held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares.

Who May Attend the 2025 Annual Meeting?

Record holders and beneficial owners on the Record Date may attend the 2025 Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name and you would like to vote your shares at the 2025 Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a valid proxy from the broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

All shares which are entitled to vote and represented by a properly completed, executed and delivered proxy received before the 2025 Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting as instructed by you in a proxy delivered before the 2025 Annual Meeting. If you do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted “for” the approval of the Director Nominee, “for” each of Proposal 2, Proposal 3, Proposal 4 and Proposal 5, and with regard to any other matters that may be properly presented at the 2025 Annual Meeting and all matters incident to the conduct of the meeting. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

4

Table of Contents

Is My Vote Confidential?

Yes, your vote is confidential. The only persons who have access to your vote are the inspector of elections, individuals who help with processing and counting your votes, and persons who need access for legal reasons. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to our Company’s management and the Board.

What Constitutes a Quorum?

To carry on business at the 2025 Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum is present when at least 33 1/3 of the shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date are represented in person or by proxy. Thus, holders of the Voting Capital representing at least 5,332,688 votes must be represented in person or by proxy at the 2025 Annual Meeting to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or if one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Shares held by us in treasury are not considered outstanding or considered to be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting. If there is not a quorum at the 2025 Annual Meeting, our stockholders may adjourn the meeting.

What is a Broker Non-Vote?

If your shares are held in street name, you must instruct the organization who holds your shares how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any non-routine proposal. This vote is called a “broker non-vote”. If you sign your proxy card, but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote, your broker will vote your shares as recommended by our Board. Broker non-votes are not included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the proposals and, therefore, do not affect these proposals.

Proposal 2 (the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm) is a “routine” matter on which your broker can exercise voting discretion. All other proposals are considered non-routine and therefore brokers cannot use discretionary authority to vote shares on other proposals to be considered at the 2025 Annual Meeting if they have not received instructions from their clients. Please submit your proxy card so your vote is counted.

What is an Abstention?

An abstention is a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Abstentions are not included in the tabulation of the voting results for any of the proposals and, therefore, do not affect these proposals. Abstentions are included for the purpose of determining whether a quorum has been reached.

How Many Votes Are Needed for Each Proposal to Pass?

Proposal No. |  | Proposal |  | Vote Required |  | Broker Discretionary Vote Allowed
(1) |  | Election of one (1) Class II director |  | Plurality of the votes cast (the director receiving the most “For” votes) |  | No
(2) |  | Ratification of the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 |  | A majority of the votes cast |  | Yes
(3) |  | Approval of the 2022 Equity Plan Proposal |  | A majority of the votes cast |  | No
(4) |  | Approval of the Nasdaq Proposal |  | A majority of the votes cast |  | No
(5) |  | Approval of the Rights Agreement Proposal |  | A majority of the votes cast |  | No

Table of Contents

What Are the Voting Procedures?

In voting by proxy regarding the election of the Class II director, you may vote in favor of the nominee or withhold your votes as to the nominee. Regarding other proposals, you may vote in favor of or against the proposal, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal. You should specify your respective choices on the accompanying proxy card.

All shares represented by proxy will be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting in accordance with the choices specified on the proxy, and where no choice is specified, in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. Thus, where no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted FOR the Director Nominee in Proposal 1, and FOR each of Proposals 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Is My Proxy Revocable?

You may revoke your proxy and reclaim your right to vote at any time before it is voted by (i) giving written notice to our administrator, (ii) delivering a properly completed, later-dated proxy card to us or (iii) voting via the Internet at the 2025 Annual Meeting. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocations of proxies should be addressed to: Dominari Holdings Inc., 725 5th Avenue, 23rd Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Chief Operating Officer. Revocations of proxies must be received prior to the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting to serve as an effective revocation of that proxy.

Do I Have Appraisal Rights?

Our stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under our governing documents with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

How can I find out the Results of the Voting at the 2025 Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the SEC within four (4) business days after the meeting.

Directorships

The current Board of the Company consists of Mr. Anthony Hayes, Mr. Gregory James Blattner, Mr. Kyle Wool, Mr. Brian Parsley and Mr. Kyle Haug.

Except as otherwise reported otherwise in this Proxy Statement, none of our directors held directorships in other reporting companies or registered investment companies at any time during the past five years.

For more information on our directors, please see the information included in Proposal No. 1 — Election of Class II Director, beginning on page 24 of this Proxy Statement.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Hayes currently holds the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). As Chairman of the Board and CEO, Mr. Hayes serves as the primary liaison between the Company and the independent directors. With input from other members of the Board, committee chairs and management, he presides over meetings of the Board.

Our Board, as a unified body and through committee participation, organizes the execution of its monitoring and oversight roles and does not expect its Chairman to organize those functions.

The Board has four standing committees: (i) Audit, (ii) Compensation, (iii) Nominating & Governance, and (iv) Investment. The Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Governance committees are comprised of all independent directors, with each of the committees having a separate chairman, each of whom is an independent director. Our non-management members of the Board meet in executive session at each quarterly board meeting.

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

The Board believes that establishing the right “tone at the top” and that full and open communication between executive management and the Board are essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our CEO and Chairman communicates frequently with other members of the Board to discuss strategy and the challenges we face. Senior management usually attends our regular quarterly Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management-related and any other matters.

Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Director Qualifications and Diversity

The Board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and decisions. Candidates should have substantial experience with one or more publicly traded companies or should have achieved a high level of distinction in their chosen fields. The Board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in strategic planning, business development, compensation, finance, accounting and banking.

In evaluating nominations to the Board, the Nominating Committee also looks for certain personal attributes, such as integrity, ability and willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment, comprehensive understanding of a director’s role in corporate governance, availability for meetings and consultation on Company matters, and the willingness to assume and carry out fiduciary responsibilities. The Nominating Committee took these specifications into account in formulating and re-nominating its present Board members.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics, which is available on our website at www.dominariholdings.com.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of the Company. Although the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote an important amount of time to our affairs.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become stockholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to ours. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

Table of Contents

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Board reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of, and fair to, the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors and named Executive Officers, and anyone who beneficially owns ten percent (10%) or more of our Company’s Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Common Stock. Persons required to file such reports also need to provide us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon a review of (i) copies of the Section 16(a) filings received during or with respect to 2024, and (ii) certain written representations of our officers and directors, we believe that all filings required to be made pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during and with respect to 2024 were filed in a timely manner except for the following:

• Due to an administrative error, a late Form 3 was filed by Jaime Mercado Jr. on April 5, 2024, related to a trigger event that occurred on February 5, 2024.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

The Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Loss

As demonstrated by the following table, the amount of CAP to Mr. Hayes and the average amount of CAP to the Company’s Named Executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Hayes) is not aligned with the Company’s net loss over the three years presented in the table. The Company has not used net loss as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program.

PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Board has appointed CBIZ CPAs P.C. (“CBIZ”), to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025. A representative of CBIZ is expected to be present at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

On November 1, 2024, CBIZ CPAs P.C. acquired the attest business of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) which was engaged as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company. As a result of this transaction, on April 25, 2025, Marcum resigned as auditor of the Company, and with the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, CBIZ CPAs P.C. was engaged as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The reports of Marcum regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

The selection of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of our stockholders for ratification. However, our Company is submitting this matter to the stockholders as a matter of good corporate governance. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. If the appointment is not ratified, the Board will consider its options.

Our Audit Committee retains our independent registered public accounting firm and approves in advance all audit and non-audit services performed by this firm and any other auditing firms. Although management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal control, the Audit Committee consults with management and our independent registered public accounting firm regarding the preparation of financial statements and generally oversees the relationship of the independent registered public accounting firm with our Company. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, relating to their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards.

It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to determine that our Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or to plan or conduct audits. Those are the responsibilities of management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In giving its recommendation to the Board, the Audit Committee has relied on: (1) management’s representation that such financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles; and (2) the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

Fees Paid to Auditor

The following table sets forth the fees for professional services rendered by Marcum for audit and other services provided for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Consistent with SEC policies and guidelines regarding audit independence, the Audit Committee is responsible for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our principal accountants. Our Audit Committee has established a policy regarding approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our principal accountants. No non-audit services were performed by our principal accountants during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Our Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category and service. Our Audit Committee has pre-approved all of the services provided by our principal accountants.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority votes cast at the 2025 Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Both abstentions and broker non-votes will not have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF CBIZ AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025 UNDER THIS PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3:
THE APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO SECTION 4(A) OFTHE COMPANY’S 2022 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE WITH RESPECT TO AWARDS GRANTED UNDER THE 2022 PLAN FROM 11,404,404 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK TO 11,720,750 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Background

The stockholders are being asked to approve amendments to Section 4(a) of the Dominari Holdings Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance with respect to awards granted under the 2022 Plan from 11,404,404 shares of common stock to 11,720,750 shares of common stock.

We believe strongly that the increase in shares of common stock reserved for issuance with respect to awards granted under the 2022 Plan is essential to our continued success and therefore is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. Our employees are our most valuable assets. The Board believes that grants of stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and other equity awards under the 2022 Plan help create long-term equity participation in the Company and thereby assist us in attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding employees, directors, and consultants. The Board also believes that long-term equity compensation is essential to link executive pay to long-term stockholder value creation.

As of the Record Date, there were 166,463 shares of common stock remaining available for the grant of awards under the 2022 Plan. On October 1, 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Tim Ledwick, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. In connection with such agreement, the Company agreed to recommend that the Board grant Mr. Ledwick a restricted stock grant covering a number of shares of the Company equal to approximately 2.0% of the Company’s outstanding stock. The Company does not currently have a sufficient number of shares available under the 2022 Plan to make the equity grant to Mr. Ledwick. Therefore, the Company is seeking stockholder approval to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan. All of the new shares added to the 2022 Plan will be used to make an equity grant to Mr. Ledwick.

The above-described amendments to the 2022 Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance with respect to awards granted under the 2022 Plan from 11,404,404 shares of common stock to 11,720,750 shares of common stock was approved pursuant to a unanimous written consent of our Compensation Committee on October 20, 2025 and will not be effective unless and until it is approved by our stockholders. If our stockholders do not approve the amendments to the 2022 Plan, the amendments will not take effect, but we may continue to grant rights to purchase shares under the 2022 Plan in accordance with the current terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan; provided, however, that no awards will be made under the 2022 Plan for an aggregate number of shares of common stock in excess of the current share reserve unless and until the stockholders approve the amendments to the 2022 Plan, with respect to such increase (excepting the 2022 Plan’s evergreen provision). The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of us and our stockholders that these amendments to the 2022 Plan be approved and is asking our stockholders for their approval of these amendments to the 2022 Plan. The form of Amendment No. 2 to the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, which includes these amendments only is attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Description of 2022 Plan

Purposes

The purposes of the 2022 Plan are to attract, retain, and motivate employees, directors, and consultants (collectively, “Service Providers”), provide additional incentives to Service Providers, and promote the success of the Company’s business, by providing Service Providers with opportunities to acquire the Company’s shares, or to receive monetary payments based on the value of such shares. The 2022 Plan is also intended to assist in further aligning the interests of the Company’s Service Providers to those of its stockholders.

Administration

The 2022 Plan is administered by a committee of at least one director of the Company that the Board may appoint, or by the Board itself (the “Administrator”).

29

Table of Contents

Eligibility

The Administrator has the discretion to select any Service Provider to receive an equity award (“Award”), although incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. A Service Provider who is designated as a participant in the 2022 Plan (a “Participant”) in any year shall not require the Administrator to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of Award as granted to the Participant in any other year. The Administrator shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards. As of the Record Date, approximately 33 employees, 3 directors, and 26 consultants are eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan.

Limitations on Incentive Awards

Each stock option will be designated in individual award agreements with Participants (“Award Agreements”) as either an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. If the aggregate fair market value of the shares under an incentive stock option are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such stock options will be treated as nonqualified stock options. The fair market value of the shares will be determined as of the time the stock option is granted.

In the case of the grant of an incentive stock option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant, or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a Participant who, at the time the incentive stock option is granted, owns shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, the term of the incentive stock option will be five (5) years from the date of grant, or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

No stock option shall be treated as an incentive stock option unless the 2022 Plan has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in a manner intended to comply with the stockholder approval requirements of Code Section 422(b)(1), provided that any stock option intended to be an incentive stock option shall not fail to be effective solely on account of a failure to obtain such approval, but rather such stock option shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option unless and until such approval is obtained.

In the case of a grant of an incentive stock option, the terms and conditions of such grant shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Code Section 422. If for any reason a stock option intended to be an incentive stock option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an incentive stock option, then, to the extent of such nonqualification, such stock option or portion thereof shall be treated as a nonqualified stock option appropriately granted under the 2022 Plan.

Clawback Policy

By accepting an award, Participants are agreeing to be bound by the Company’s clawback policy, which may be amended from time to time by the Company in its discretion and are further agreeing that all Awards may be unilaterally amended by the Company to the extent needed to comply with the clawback policy.

Vesting Conditions

Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in each Award Agreement. Vesting conditions may include service-based conditions, performance-based conditions, such other conditions as the Administrator may determine. The Administrator may establish performance-based conditions for an Award which may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company. Unless otherwise set forth in an individual Award Agreement, each Award shall vest over a three (3) year period, with one-third (1/3) of the Award vesting on each annual anniversary of the date of grant.

Stock Options

Each stock option granted under the 2022 Plan is subject to the following terms and conditions:

• Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of a stock option will be determined by the Administrator but shall be no less than 100% of the fair market value per Share on the date of grant, subject to Section 7(a) of the 2022 Plan.

• Exercise Period. Stock options granted under the 2022 Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, that no stock option shall be exercisable later than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.

30

Table of Contents

• Consideration. The consideration for shares issued upon exercise of options generally will be payable in cash (or check) at the time when such shares are purchased by the Participant, except as specified by the Administrator. The Administrator may accept as payment the surrender of other shares, broker-assisted cashless exercise, a notice of “net exercise” to the Company, such other consideration to the extent permitted by applicable laws, or any combination of the foregoing.

• No Repricing. Notwithstanding any of the Administrator’s powers granted under the 2022 Plan, and except for permissible adjustments or stockholder approval, outstanding options may not be re-priced.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

Each SAR will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. The exercise of each SAR will entitle the Participant to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the difference between the fair market value of a share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times (ii) the number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. As a general rule, the exercise price of a SAR must be no less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the SAR is granted. Otherwise, the Administrator, subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the 2022 Plan.

Restricted Stock Grants

Each Award of restricted stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the period of restriction and the applicable restrictions, the number of shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. During the period of restriction, a Participant holding restricted stock may exercise the voting rights applicable to those restricted shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. During the period of restriction, a Participant holding restricted stock will also be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such restricted stock unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

Restricted stock units (“RSUs”) are the right to receive shares of common stock at a future date in accordance with the terms of such grant upon the attainment of certain conditions specified by the Administrator. Restrictions or conditions could include, but are not limited to, the attainment of performance goals, continuous service with the Company or its subsidiaries, the passage of time or other restrictions or conditions. The Administrator determines the persons to whom grants of RSUs are made, the number of RSUs to be awarded, the time or times within which awards of RSUs may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of RSU Awards. The value of the RSUs may be paid in shares of common stock, cash, other securities, other property or a combination of the foregoing, as determined by the Administrator.

The holders of RSUs will have no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, RSUs awarded under the 2022 Plan may, at the Administrator’s discretion, provide for a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal to all dividends paid on one Share while each RSU is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional RSUs. Settlement of dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, shares of common stock, other securities, other property, or a combination of the foregoing. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the RSUs to which they are payable.

Other Stock-Based Awards

The Administrator may grant Other Stock-Based Awards, in addition to or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, as the Administrator determines in its discretion. The Administrator shall have the authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which other stock-based awards will be made, the amount of such other stock-based awards, and all other conditions, including any dividend and/or voting rights.

Tax Withholding

Participants in the 2022 Plan are responsible for the payment of any federal, state, or local taxes that the Company or its subsidiaries are required by law to withhold upon the exercise of options or stock appreciation rights or vesting of other awards. The Administrator may cause any tax withholding obligation of the Company or its subsidiaries to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the applicable entity withholding from shares to be issued pursuant to an Award a number of

31

Table of Contents

shares with an aggregate fair market value that would satisfy the withholding amount due. The Administrator may also require any tax withholding obligation of the Company or its subsidiaries to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by an arrangement whereby a certain number of shares issued pursuant to an Award are immediately sold and proceeds from such sale are remitted to the Company or its subsidiaries in an amount that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

Equitable Adjustments

In the event of a merger, consolidation, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or other change in corporate structure affecting the shares, the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2022 Plan will be adjusted to reflect such event, and the Administrator will make such adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable in the number, kind, and exercise price of the shares covered by outstanding awards made under the 2022 Plan.

Performance Criteria

The Administrator may establish performance-based conditions for an Award which may be based on the attainment of specific levels of performance of the Company. A list of criteria which the Administrator may, but is not limited to, consider may be found in Section 12(b) of the 2022 Plan. Any performance criteria that are financial metrics, may be determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.

Adjustments

In the event that any dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, share split, reverse share split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the shares occurs such that the Administrator determines that an adjustment is appropriate, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust the number and class of shares which may be delivered under the 2022 Plan, the number, class and price of shares subject to outstanding awards, and the numerical limits stated in the 2022 Plan.

Change in Control

In the event of a change in control of the Company, each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by the acquiring or successor corporation or a parent of the acquiring or successor corporation. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, in the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award as to all of the shares, all applicable restrictions will lapse, and all performance objectives and other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at targeted levels.

Transferability

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed of in any manner, except to a Participant’s estate or legal representative, and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

Amendment and Termination of the 2022 Plan

The 2022 Plan became effective on December 5, 2022. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or terminate the 2022 Plan. The Company may obtain stockholder approval of any amendment to the 2022 Plan to the extent necessary or, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, desirable to comply with applicable laws, including any amendment that (i) increases the number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Plan or (ii) changes the persons or class of persons eligible to receive Awards.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Aspects

The following is a summary of the principal U.S. federal income tax consequences of certain Awards under the 2022 Plan, based upon the current provisions of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder. The rules governing the tax treatment of such awards are quite technical, so the following discussion of tax consequences is necessarily general

32

Table of Contents

in nature and is not complete. In addition, statutory provisions are subject to change, as are their interpretations, and their application may vary in individual circumstances. This summary does not describe all federal tax consequences under the 2022 Plan, nor does it describe state or local tax consequences.

The 2022 Plan is not qualified under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Code and is not subject to any of the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Company’s ability to realize the benefit of any tax deductions described below depends on the Company’s generation of taxable income as well as the requirement of reasonableness and the satisfaction of the Company’s tax reporting obligations.

Incentive Stock Options. No taxable income is generally realized by the Participant upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the shares issued to a Participant pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option are sold or transferred after two years from the date of grant and after one year from the date of exercise, then generally (i) upon sale of such shares, any amount realized in excess of the option exercise price will be taxed to the Participant as a long-term capital gain, and any loss sustained will be a long-term capital loss, and (ii) neither the Company nor its subsidiaries will be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes; provided that such incentive stock option otherwise meets all of the technical requirements of an incentive stock option. The exercise of an incentive stock option will give rise to an item of tax preference that may result in alternative minimum tax liability for the Participant.

If the shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of prior to the expiration of the two-year and one-year holding periods described above (a “disqualifying disposition”), generally (i) the Participant will realize ordinary income in the year of disposition in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the fair market value of the shares at exercise (or, if less, the amount realized on a sale of such Shares) over the option exercise price thereof, and (ii) the Company or a subsidiary will be entitled to deduct such amount. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the incentive stock option is paid by tendering Shares.

If an incentive stock option is exercised at a time when it no longer qualifies for the tax treatment described above, the option is treated as a nonqualified option. Generally, an incentive stock option will not be eligible for the tax treatment described above if it is exercised more than three months following termination of employment (or one year in the case of termination of employment by reason of disability). In the case of termination of employment by reason of death, the three-month rule does not apply.

Nonqualified Options. No income is generally realized by the Participant at the time a nonqualified option is granted. Generally (i) at exercise, ordinary income is realized by the Participant in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the Shares on the date of exercise, and either the Company or a subsidiary receives a tax deduction for the same amount, and (ii) at disposition, appreciation or depreciation after the date of exercise is treated as either short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on how long the Shares have been held. Special rules will apply where all or a portion of the exercise price of the nonqualified option is paid by tendering Shares. Upon exercise, the Participant will also be subject to Social Security taxes on the excess of the fair market value over the exercise price of the option.

Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Other Stock-Based Awards. For all other Awards under the 2022 Plan, either the Company or a subsidiary generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by the Participant at the time the Participant recognizes such income. Participants typically are subject to income tax and recognize such tax at the time that an Award is exercised, vests or becomes non-forfeitable, unless the Award provides for deferred settlement.

A Participant’s basis for the determination of gain or loss upon the subsequent disposition of Shares acquired from a stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, or other stock-based award will be the amount paid for such shares plus any ordinary income recognized when the shares were originally delivered, and the Participant’s capital gain holding period for those shares will begin on the day after they are transferred to the Participant.

Parachute Payments. The vesting of any portion of an Award that is accelerated due to the occurrence of a change in control may cause all or a portion of the payments with respect to such accelerated awards to be treated as “parachute payments” as defined in the Code. Any such parachute payments may be non-deductible to either the Company or its subsidiaries, in whole or in part, and may subject the recipient to a non-deductible 20% federal excise tax on all or a portion of such payment (in addition to other taxes ordinarily payable).

33

Table of Contents

Section 409A. The foregoing description assumes that Section 409A of the Code does not apply to an award under the 2022 Plan. In general, stock options and stock appreciation rights are exempt from Section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the time the option or stock appreciation right was granted. Restricted stock awards are not generally subject to Section 409A. RSUs are subject to Section 409A unless they are settled within 2 ½ months after the end of the later of (i) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which vesting occurs or (ii) the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs. If an Award is subject to Section 409A and the provisions for the exercise or settlement of that Award do not comply with Section 409A, then the Participant would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever a portion of the award vested (regardless of whether it had been exercised or settled). This amount would also be subject to an additional 20% U.S. federal tax and premium interest in addition to the U.S. federal income tax at the Participant’s usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

New Plan Benefits

As described above, all of the shares added to the 2022 Plan through this proposal will be allocated to a grant to Mr. Ledwick.

Explanation of Amendments

Section 4(a) of the 2022 Plan currently provides as follows:

“(a) Basic Limitation. Subject to the provisions of Sections 4(b) and 14, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is Eleven Million Four Hundred Four Thousand Four Hundred Four (11,404,404) shares (the “Plan Share Limit”). The Shares subject to the Plan may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired shares.”

The Board of Directors has authorized and approved an increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance with respect to awards granted under the 2022 Plan from 11,404,404 shares of common stock to 11,720,750 shares of common stock. In the event that Proposal 3 is approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, Section 4(a) of the 2022 Plan will, thereafter, each read in its entirety as follows:

PROPOSAL 4:
THE APPROVAL, FOR PURPOSES OF COMPLYING WITH NASDAQ LISTING RULE 5635(D), OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (OR SECURITIE EXERCISABLE FOR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK), IN ONE OR MORE NON-PUBLIC FINANCING TRANSACTION, IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT EXCEEDING 19.99% OF THE COMPANY’S OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK OR VOTING POWER, AT A PRICE THAT MAY BE BELOW THE MINIMUM PRICE (AS DEFINED IN THE NASDAQ RULES) PURSUANT TO THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (OR SECURITIES EXERCISABLE FOR COMMON STOCK) PURSUANT TO THOSE CERTAIN ADVISORY AGREEMENTS, AS AMENDED, WITH THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF ADVISORS

Background

On February 10, 2025, the Company entered into advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with various individuals who were issued shares of common stock (the “Advisory Shares”). The Advisory Agreements are for a term of two years but are able to be canceled by either party. As part of the Advisory Agreements, 2,550,000 shares of common stock were issued on February 18, 2025. An additional 850,000 shares may be issued under the terms of the Advisory Agreements when certain provisions are met which as of the date hereof is probable. Upon issuance of the final tranche of 850,000 shares of common stock, the total amount of shares of common stock issued under the Advisory Agreements may in the aggregate represent an issuance of greater than 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock or voting power at a price that may be below the Minimum Price (as defined in the Nasdaq rules). Advisory Shares that have previously been issued pursuant to the Advisory Agreements will not be permitted to vote on the Nasdaq Proposal.

Why We Need Stockholder Approval

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a “change of control” of the issuer. Generally, Nasdaq interpretations provide that the acquisition of 19.99% of the shares of an issuer by one person or a group of affiliated persons may be deemed a change of control of such issuer. Under the Advisory Agreements, if all of the Advisory Shares are issued then such issuance could represent a block of the common stock exceeding 19.99% of the currently outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, and it could result in a change of control under the Nasdaq interpretations of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). Stockholders should note that a “change of control,” as described under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), applies only with respect to the application of such rule, and does not necessarily constitute a “change of control” for purposes of Delaware law, our organizational documents or any other agreements to which we may be a party.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale or issuance by the issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock) equal to 19.99% or more of the common stock or 19.99% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for a price that is less than the lower of: (i) the closing price of the common stock immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement for the issuance of such securities; or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement for the issuance of such securities.

Stockholder approval is required as the potential issuance of the Advisory Shares will not constitute a public offering under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and certain pricing conditions, described in the following sentence, will likely not be met. The conditions were that either (i) the offering was an at-the-market offering under Nasdaq rules and such price equaled or exceeded the sum of (a) the applicable “Minimum Price” per share under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d) or (ii) the offering was a discounted offering where the pricing and discount met the pricing requirements under Nasdaq’s rules.

Potential Effects of Approval of this Proposal

If approved, this Nasdaq Proposal could result in the issuance of the final tranche of the Advisory Shares. A concentration of ownership could adversely affect the prevailing market price and liquidity for the shares of common stock. Holders of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock could own or come to own a smaller percentage of our outstanding shares of common stock and, accordingly, a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and book value of the shares of common stock.

Table of Contents

In addition, upon issuance of the Advisory Shares there would be a greater number of shares of our common stock eligible for sale in the public markets. Any such sales, or the anticipation of the possibility of such sales, represents an overhang on the market and could depress the market price of our common stock.

Potential Effects of Non-Approval of this Proposal

The Company is not seeking the approval of stockholders to authorize its entry into the transaction described above, as the Company has already done so and such documents are already binding obligations of the Company. The failure of stockholders to approve this Nasdaq Proposal will not negate the existing terms of the Advisory Agreement, which will remain binding on the Company.

If this Nasdaq Proposal is not approved by the stockholders, the Advisory Shares will not be issued over the 19.99% threshold, which may result in cash obligations of the Company. The Company’s satisfaction of any such potential cash obligations could materially impair the Company’s working capital.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the majority of shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the Nasdaq Proposal. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Advisory Shares that have previously been issued pursuant to the Advisory Agreements will not be permitted to vote on the Nasdaq Proposal.

PROPOSAL 5:
TO APPROVE THE RENEWAL OF THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF OCTOBER 11, 2023, BY AND BETWEEN CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY AND EXTEND THE RIGHTS GRANTED UNDER SECTION 7(A) OF THE RIGHTS AGREEMENT THROUGH OCTBER 11, 2026

Background

The stockholders are being asked to approve the renewal of the Rights Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2023, by and between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Rights Agreement”) for the purpose of extending the rights granted to stockholders under Section 7(a) of the Rights Agreement through October 11, 2026.

Our Board previously approved the renewal of the Rights Agreement for an initial twelve-month period, commencing October 11, 2024, and approved a second renewal of the Rights Agreement for an additional twelve-month period, commencing October 11, 2025. In addition to Board approval, the Rights Agreement requires stockholders to subsequently approve renewal of the Rights Agreement.

The Company entered into the Rights Agreement to preserve past net operating losses (“NOLs”) so that they may be used against potential future federal income tax obligations. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”) limits a company’s ability to use its NOLs against future federal income tax obligations if the Company experiences an “ownership change” within the meaning of the Code. Under the Code, a company generally experiences such an “ownership change” if the percentage of its stock owned by its “5-percent shareholders,” as defined in the Tax Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. The Rights Agreement is designed to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change under the Tax Code by discouraging any person or group from becoming a shareholder of 4.99% or more of Common Stock and discouraging any existing 4.99% shareholder from acquiring any additional shares of the Company’s stock. Accordingly, renewing the Rights Agreement is in the best interest of stockholders of the Company such that it limits the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change.

Description of the Rights Agreement

The Rights Agreement provides each stockholder of record a dividend distribution of one “right” for each outstanding share of common stock. Rights become exercisable at the earlier of ten days following: (1) a public announcement that an acquirer has purchased or has the right to acquire 4.99% or more of our common stock, in connection with, (x) the Company consolidating, or merging into any other person, (y) any person consolidates or merges with or into the Company or (z) the Company sells or otherwise transfers to any person or persons, in one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company or (2) the commencement of a tender offer which would result in an offer or beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding common stock. All rights held by an acquirer or offer or expire on the announced acquisition date, and all rights expire at the earliest of: (i) the close of business on October 11, 2025, subject to extension; (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed; (iii) the time at which the rights are exchanged; (iv) the closing of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving the Company pursuant to a specified agreement; (vi) the close of business on the date the Board determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of tax benefits; and (vii) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no tax benefits are available to be carried forward. Each right entitles a stockholder to acquire, at a price of $5.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of our Series Q Preferred Stock, subject to adjustments, which carries voting and dividend rights similar to one share of our common stock. The purchase price of the preferred stock fractional amount is subject to adjustment for certain events as described in the Rights Agreement. At the discretion of a majority of the Board and within a specified time period, we may redeem all of the rights at a price of $0.0001 per right. The Board may also amend any provisions of the Rights Agreement prior to exercise.
