PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2019

The board of directors of LiveXLive Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” LiveXLive” or “our Company”) solicits the enclosed proxy for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on Thursday, September 12, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. local time at Kimpton La Peer Hotel, 627 N La Peer Dr, West Hollywood, CA 90069, and for any adjournment or postponement thereof. This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is being made available to stockholders on or about July 30, 2019.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS AND THE ANNUAL MEETING

1. Q: Why did I receive a notice regarding the availability of proxy materials on the internet?

A: Instead of mailing paper proxy materials, we sent a “Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials” to our stockholders of record. We refer to that notice as the Notice of Availability. The Notice of Availability provides instructions on how to view our proxy materials over the internet, how to vote and how to request a paper or email copy of our proxy materials. This method of providing proxy materials is permitted under rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). We hope that following this procedure will allow us to save money on the printing and mailing of those materials and to reduce the impact that our Annual Meeting has on the environment.

We intend to mail the Notice of Availability on or about July 30, 2019 to all of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

2. Q: What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

A: At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in this Proxy Statement, including:

• election of the eight members of our board of directors, the director nominees being Robert S. Ellin, Jay Krigsman, Craig Foster, Tim Spengler, Jerome N. Gold, Ramin Arani, Patrick Wachsberger and Kenneth Solomon (Proposal No. 1); and

• ratification of BDO USA, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 (Proposal No. 2).

Our management, certain members of our board of directors and representatives of BDO USA, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

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

A: Only common stockholders as of the close of business on July 24, 2019 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote 52,599,609 shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

4. Q: What are the voting rights of the holders of our common stock?

A: Each outstanding share of our common stock will be entitled to one vote on each of the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting.

1

5. Q: Which of my shares may I vote?

A: All shares owned by you as of the close of business on the Record Date may be voted by you. These shares include shares that are (i) held directly in your name as the stockholder of record and (ii) held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank or other nominee.

6. Q: Who can attend the Annual Meeting?

A: All of our stockholders as of the Record Date may attend the Annual Meeting. Even if your shares are held in “street name,” as the beneficial owner of shares, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, if you wish to attend the Annual Meeting, please bring to the Annual Meeting your bank or brokerage statement or a letter from your nominee evidencing your beneficial ownership of our stock and a form of personal identification. We reserve the right to deny admission to anyone who cannot show valid identification or sufficient proof of share ownership as of the Record Date.

Please contact us at (310) 601-2500 or tenia@livexlive.com for directions to the Annual Meeting.

7. Q: Can I find out who the stockholders are?

A: A list of stockholders as of the Record Date will be available for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting, during ordinary business hours for ten days prior to the Annual Meeting at the office of the Office Manager of the Company at the above address, and at the time and place of the Annual Meeting.

8. Q: What constitutes a quorum?

A: Presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of our common stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum, permitting the Annual Meeting to proceed and business to be conducted. Abstentions and broker non-votes are included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, we had 52,599,609 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote.

9. Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a “record holder” versus a “beneficial owner”?

A: Some of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially:

Record holders — If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record or “record holder.” As the record holder, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed or sent a proxy card for you to use. You may also vote by mail, over the internet or by telephone, as described below under the heading “Voting — How do I vote?”

Beneficial owners — If your shares are held in a brokerage account or bank or by another nominee, you are, with respect to those shares, the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

However, since you are not a record holder, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from your nominee (who is the record holder), giving you the right to vote the shares. If you do not wish to vote in person, you may vote by mail, over the internet or by telephone, as described below under the heading “Voting — How can I vote?”

10. Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a registered stockholder of common stock on the Record Date, meaning that you hold your shares in certificate form or through an account with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, and you wish to vote prior to the Annual Meeting, you may vote over the Internet, by mail or in person at the Annual Meeting:

• Over the Internet. Go to the website of our tabulator, VStock Transfer, at www.vstocktransfer.com/proxy. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to vote your

2

shares. You must submit your Internet proxy before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on September 11, 2019, the day prior to the Annual Meeting, for your proxy to be valid and your vote to count.

• By Mail. Complete and sign your proxy card and mail it to VStock Transfer, LLC, 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598, in the postage prepaid envelope we provided. Computershare must receive the proxy card not later than September 11, 2019, the day before the Annual Meeting, for your proxy to be valid and your vote to count.

• In Person at the Meeting. You can vote in person by attending the Annual Meeting and delivering your completed proxy card in person or by completing a ballot, which we will provide to you at the meeting.

If on the Record Date your shares are held in street name, the proxy materials are being forwarded to you by or on behalf of your bank, broker or other nominee. If you received the proxy materials directly from Broadridge, follow the instructions above for stockholders of record. If you received the proxy materials from your bank, broker or other nominee, follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other nominee explaining how you can vote. If you would like to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, contact your bank, broker or other nominee who holds your shares to obtain a broker’s proxy card and bring it with you to the Annual Meeting, along with a bank or brokerage statement or a letter from your nominee evidencing your beneficial ownership of our stock and a form of personal identification. A broker’s proxy is not the form of proxy enclosed with this Proxy Statement. You will not be able to vote shares you hold in street name in person at the Annual Meeting unless you have a proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee issued in your name giving you the right to vote your shares.

11. Q: What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

A: If you are the stockholder of record and you submit a proxy but do not provide any voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors. If you hold your shares in street name and do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote your shares of common stock with respect to “routine” items but not with respect to “non-routine” items.

Please note that at the Annual Meeting, we believe that only the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2) will be considered a “routine” matter. Under applicable rules, banks and brokers are permitted to vote the shares held in their name for the account of a beneficial holder for “routine” matters, even if such bank or broker does not receive instructions from the beneficial holder. We will refer to these votes cast by banks and brokers without instruction from the relevant beneficial holder as “Broker Discretionary Votes”. We believe that based on the policies of most banks and brokers, the majority of Broker Discretionary Votes will be cast in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors, and therefore “FOR” Proposal No. 2.

We believe that the other proposal (Proposal No. 1) will be considered a “non-routine” item, and your broker will not have discretion to vote on this proposal. We will refer to these shares not voted by banks and brokers in absence of instructions from the relevant beneficial holder as “broker non-votes”.

It is therefore important that you provide instructions to your bank or broker so that your shares are voted accordingly.

12. Q: What is a broker non-vote?

A: Generally, a broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a nominee for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (i) the nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner with respect to such proposal (despite voting on at least one other proposal for which it does have discretionary authority or for which it has received instructions) and (ii) the nominee lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares. Under the rules of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), a nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to “non-routine” matters or the election of directors. The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2) is a routine matter and the other proposal is a non-routine matter.

If you are the beneficial owner of our common stock, your nominee will send you directions on how you can instruct them to vote.

3

13. Q: May I change my vote after I return my proxy?

A: Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised. Record holders may change their vote by:

• a timely, valid, later-dated proxy;

• a timely written notice of revocation submitted to our Office Manager at our principal executive offices at 269 South Beverly Drive, Suite #1450, Beverly Hills, CA 90212; or

• attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

• Beneficial owners may change their vote by complying with the instructions on their voting instruction cards.

You should be aware that simply attending the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of your proxy.

14. Q: How does the Company’s board of directors recommend that I vote?

A: The Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote your shares:

• FOR the election of each of the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement (Proposal No. 1);

• FOR the ratification of BDO USA, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 (Proposal No. 2).

15. Q: Vote Requirement — How many votes are required to approve each item?

Election of directors (Proposal No. 1) — If a quorum is present, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect directors (that is the nominees for our directors who receive the most votes will be elected). For purposes of electing directors, not voting or withholding your vote by voting “abstain” (or a direction to your broker, bank or other nominee to withhold your vote, called a “broker non-vote”) is not counted as a vote cast, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

Other proposal (Proposal No. 2 and any other items properly brought before the Annual Meeting) — If a quorum is present, approval of each of this proposal and any other item properly brought before the Annual Meeting requires that the votes cast in favor of such action exceed the votes cast opposing such action. For purposes of these votes, abstentions or not voting on a matter will not be counted as either votes cast for or against this proposal and therefore will not count in determining the approval of this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

The results of Proposal No. 2, is not binding on our board of directors.

16. Q: What happens if a nominee is unable to stand for election?

A: If a nominee is unable to stand for election, the board of directors may either reduce the number of directors to be elected or select a substitute nominee. If a substitute nominee is selected, the proxy holders will vote your shares for the substitute nominee, unless you have voted “Withhold” with respect to the original nominee.

17. Q: Vote Count — How are votes counted?

A: Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for each proposal votes “For,” “Against,” abstentions and broker non-votes.

18. Q: Voting Results — Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

A: We will publish the final voting results of the Annual Meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

4

19. Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of the Notice of Availability, this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account. If you are a record holder and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one Notice of Availability or proxy card. If you receive multiple sets of voting materials, please vote each Notice of Availability, proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive.

20. Q: Who will pay the costs of soliciting these proxies?

A: Proxies will be solicited initially by mail. Further solicitation may be made in person or by telephone, email or facsimile by members of our management. We will bear the expense of preparing, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and accompanying materials to our stockholders. Upon request, we will reimburse brokers, banks or similar entities acting as nominees for reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting to the beneficial owners of our common stock.

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

A: Other than the two proposals described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Robert S. Ellin, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Michael Zemetra, our Chief Financial Officer, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

22. Q: Who can help answer my questions?

A: If you have any questions about our proxy materials or the Annual Meeting, you can contact our Office Manager at:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

We have adopted a Code of Ethics for our directors, officers and employees, which, in conjunction with our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and board of directors’ committee charters, form our framework for governance. All of these documents are publicly available on our investor relations/corporate governance website at http://ir.livexlive.com/ir-home or may be obtained upon written request to:

LiveXLive Media, Inc.
269 South Beverly Drive, Suite #1450
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
Attention: Office Manager

Governance Highlights

We are committed to maintaining high standards of business conduct and corporate governance, which we believe are essential to running our business efficiently, serving our stockholders well and maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. Some of the highlights of our corporate governance include:

What We Do:

• 6 of 8 directors are independent

• Annual election of all members of our board of directors (see Proposal No. 1)

• Annual advisory vote to ratify independent auditor (see Proposal No. 2)

• Restrictive stock ownership and insider trading guidelines

• Regular board of directors self-assessments at both individual and committee levels

• Board of directors committee members are all independent

What We Don’t Do:

• No repricing of underwater stock options without stockholder approval

• No hedging of Company securities per Company policy

• No pledging of Company securities without preapproval per Company policy

Director Independence

Our board of directors currently consists of eight directors, six of whom are independent (as determined by our board of directors), one of whom serves as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and one of whom serves as our Chief Strategy Officer. Our board of directors has reviewed the independence of our directors and has determined that each of Messrs. Foster, Krigsman, Spengler, Arani, Wachsberger and Solomon qualifies as an independent director pursuant to Rule 5605(a)(2) of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules and regulations. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each of these non-employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence.

Board Composition and Director Qualifications

Our Nominating Committee periodically assesses the appropriate size and composition of our board of directors, taking into account our specific needs. The committee utilizes various methods for identifying and evaluating candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the committee through recommendations of directors, management, stockholders and professional search firms. Generally, the committee seeks members with diverse backgrounds and viewpoints which contribute to the board of directors’ broad spectrum of experience and expertise, and who have a reputation of integrity.

6

Rather than being bound by one-size-fits-all policies regarding the composition of the board of directors, the Nominating Committee instead seeks to make individual, facts-specific determinations. We believe that our Company requires specialized experience and expertise in its leaders due to the uniqueness of its business and industry. Commencing with our 2020 fiscal year, the Nominating Committee will annually assess the appropriateness of the size of our board of directors, the skill set mix of each director, and the performance of each director when reviewing the annual board self-assessments, where each director will have the opportunity to provide comprehensive feedback on himself/herself, his/her peers and the board as a whole. Two of the current members of our board of directors have been our directors since 2011 and 2012 respectively, and the other six director nominees named in this Proxy Statement joined us in 2017, 2018 and 2019, reflecting our evolving and expanding business and leadership needs. The Nominating Committee does not mandate an age or length of service at which a director must resign, and instead focuses on whether each director continues to provide value to the company and its stockholders. The Nominating Committee has committed itself to carefully considering diversity when evaluating future director candidates, giving strong consideration to candidates that would contribute to the board’s gender, ethnic and other diversity.

At a minimum, directors should:

• have experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility;

• demonstrate strong leadership skills;

• have the time, energy, interest and willingness to serve as a director; and

• contribute to the mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications of the board of directors and management.

In addition to recommendations from directors, management and professional search firms, the Nominating Committee will consider director candidates properly submitted by our stockholders. Stockholder recommendations should be sent to the Office Manager at our principal executive offices. The Nominating Committee will review all potential director nominees in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation, in accordance with its charter.

Our Nominating Committee currently consists of Messrs. Foster, Krigsman and Spengler, with Mr. Foster serving as the chairman.

Board Leadership Structure

Currently, the office of Chairman of our board of directors and Chief Executive Officer are held by Robert S. Ellin. Due to our size and early stage of operations, we believe it is currently most effective to have the Chairman of the board of directors and Chief Executive Officer positions be held by the same individual. Under our Bylaws, the Chairman of the board of directors is responsible for coordinating the board of directors’ activities, including the scheduling of meetings and the determination of relevant agenda items.

Risk Oversight and Compensation Risk Assessment

Our board of directors oversees a company-wide approach to risk management. Our board of directors determines the appropriate risk level for us generally, assesses the specific risks faced by us and reviews the steps taken by our management to manage those risks. While our board of directors has ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees oversee risk in certain specified areas.

Specifically, our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements, and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Our Audit Committee oversees management of enterprise risks and financial risks, as well as potential conflicts of interests. Our board of directors is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with the independence of our board of directors.

7

Our management also reviews and reports on potential areas of risk at the request of the Audit Committee or other members of the board of directors.

We believe that our compensation policies and practices do not create inappropriate or unintended significant risk to our Company as a whole. We also believe that our incentive compensation arrangements provide incentives that do not encourage risk-taking beyond our ability to effectively identify and manage significant risks, are compatible with effective internal controls and our risk management practices and are supported by the oversight and administration of the Compensation Committee with regard to executive compensation programs.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller, which is a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable SEC rules. The purpose and role of this code is to, among other things, focus our directors, officers and employees on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical or unlawful conduct and to help enhance and formalize our culture of integrity, honesty and accountability. If we make any amendments to this code, other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from any provision of this code that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Controller, or persons performing similar functions, and that relates to an element of the SEC’s “code of ethics” definition, then we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver in the “Corporate Governance” section of our investor relations/corporate governance website http://ir.livexlive.com/ir-home.

Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

We do not have a policy with regard to board members’ attendance at annual meetings. We expect that our Chairman and one or more of the other directors will attend our Annual Meeting.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with the board of directors, any committee thereof, the independent or non-management directors as a group or any individual director in writing. All such written communications must identify the recipient and be forwarded by mail to:

LiveXLive Media, Inc.
269 South Beverly Drive, Suite #1450
Beverly Hills, CA 90212
Attention: Office Manager

The Office Manager will act as agent for the directors in facilitating such communications. In that capacity, the Office Manager may review, sort and summarize the communications.

Complaints about accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters may be made by utilizing our Business Integrity web-reporting tool, which we are in the process of implementing.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Director Nominees

Our board of directors is soliciting approval of the following director nominees:

• Robert S. Ellin

• Jay Krigsman

• Craig Foster

• Tim Spengler

• Jerome N. Gold

• Ramin Arani

• Patrick Wachsberger

• Kenneth Solomon

As we elect all members of our board of directors annually, the eight nominees will serve for a one-year term expiring on the date of our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are elected or their earlier resignation or removal. All of the director nominees are current members of the board of directors and are standing for re-election.

Each of the director nominees has indicated a willingness to serve, or continue to serve, as a director if elected. If any director nominee becomes unable to serve, the board of directors may designate a substitute nominee, in which case the designated proxy holders, Mr. Ellin and Mr. Zemetra, will vote for such substitute nominee.

Vote Required

A plurality of votes cast will be required to elect each director nominee (that is the nominees for our directors who receive the most votes will be elected). For purposes of electing directors, not voting, withholding your vote by voting “abstain” or a broker non-vote is not counted as a vote cast, and therefore will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR
EACH NAMED DIRECTOR NOMINEE.

General Information About the Board of Directors

Our Bylaws provide that our business and affairs will be managed by, or under the direction of, our board of directors.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Only our independent board members have received compensation for their services as a director. Current director compensation consists of an annual grant of between $90,000 and $120,000 worth of restricted stock units (or pro-rata for service less than one year) to each director, depending on committee membership and responsibilities, based on the fair market value of our stock on the date of the grant approval date, which restricted units vest on August 16, 2019 for Messrs. Krigsman, Foster and Spengler and on November 29, 2019 for Messrs. Arani, Wachsberger and Solomon, provided that such director continues to serve as our director on the vesting date. In addition, during 2018 fiscal year, we granted 25,000 stock options to each Messrs. Krigsman, Foster and Spengler, which options vest annually over a period of two years with one-half of the options vesting on the first anniversary date of the date of the grant and the remainder of the options vesting on the second anniversary date of the date of grant, provided that such director continues to serve as our director on each vesting date. At the direction of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors, we are currently undertaking a process to formerly review, on a periodic basis, our board of directors’ compensation, including but not limited to pay for (i) each of our non-employee directors in cash, (ii) each member of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee additional annual cash amounts, and (iii) the Chairpersons of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee additional cash amounts. This process includes retaining an expert compensation consulting firm to benchmark director compensation and provide recommendations around near and long-term compensation for our board. We expect to conclude this board of director compensation review as early as our 2020 fiscal year. Currently, no additional per-meeting fees apply under the plan. Subject to such compensation review, we may also grant to each non-employee director restricted stock units, shares of our common stock and/or stock options to purchase shares of our common stock (i) upon such non-employee director’s appointment to the board of directors (prorated for the period from the director’s appointment through the anticipated date of our next annual meeting of stockholders), and (ii) on an annual basis thereafter. We may also grant additional discretionary stock-based awards to our non-employee directors, and subject to our director compensation review and board’s approval, these directors may have the option of electing to receive their cash fees in the form of shares of our common stock. Only non-employee directors are currently eligible to receive compensation for their services as a director. Accordingly, Mr. Ellin, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Mr. Gold, our Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Vice President, did not receive any separate director compensation during the 2019 fiscal year.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

• each of our directors;

• each of our Named Executive Officers (as defined below);

• our other executive officers; and

The number of shares and percentages of beneficial ownership are based on 52,599,609 shares of our common stock outstanding as of July 24, 2019 (the Record Date).

The following table is based upon information supplied by to us by our officers, directors and certain principal stockholders.

In addition, the rules include shares of common stock that the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days, including common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options or warrants and settlement of restricted stock units that are either immediately exercisable or issuable or exercisable or issuable on or before September 21, 2019, which is within 60 days of the Record Date. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options, warrants or restricted stock units for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Effective as of July 25, 2018, our board of directors dismissed Weinberg as our independent registered public accounting firm and engaged BDO USA, LLP to serve as our new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the same date. The change of independent registered public accounting firms was made to more closely match our evolving business and not due to any disagreements with Weinberg. The decision to change principal accountants was also approved by the Audit Committee effective as of the same date.

Neither of Weinberg’s reports on our financial statements for each of the last two fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 contained an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, except that Weinberg’s report for our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern. During our two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 and any subsequent interim period through the Effective Date, there were (i) no disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) with Weinberg on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Weinberg, would have caused Weinberg to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in their reports on our financial statements, and (ii) no reportable events (as described in paragraphs (a)(1)(v) (A) through (D) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K).

We provided Weinberg with a copy of the disclosures we made in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 26, 2018 and requested that Weinberg furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether they agree with the above statements. A copy of the requested letter received from Weinberg, dated July 26, 2018, stating that they agree was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to such Form 8-K.

Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms

Engagement of BDO USA, LLP

Effective as of July 25, 2018, the Board approved the engagement of BDO USA, LLP (“BDO”) to serve as our new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of the same date. The decision to engage BDO was also approved by the Audit Committee effective as of the same date. During the two most recent fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and any subsequent interim period through July 25, 2018, neither we nor anyone on our behalf consulted with BDO regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; (ii) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on its financial statements by BDO, and neither a written report or oral advice was provided to us by BDO that BDO concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues; or (iii) any other matter that was the subject of a “disagreement” or “reportable event” (as such terms are described in Items 304(a)(1)(iv) and (v), respectively, of Regulation S-K) between our Company and our former independent registered public accounting firm, Weinberg.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

This report of the audit committee is required by the SEC and, in accordance with the SEC’s rules, will not be deemed to be part of or incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act, or under the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this information by reference, and will not otherwise be deemed “soliciting material” or “filed” under either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee’s purpose is to assist our board of directors in its general oversight of our accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices. Management is primarily responsible for our financial statements, systems of internal controls and compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. BDO was responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion on the conformity of those financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, as well as expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, nor can the committee certify that our registered public accounting firm is “independent” under applicable rules. The Audit Committee serves a board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and the independent registered public accounting firm on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm and the experience of the committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 with our management. The Audit Committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountants’ communications with the audit committee concerning independence and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the accounting firm’s independence. Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee has recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included, and such audited financial statements were included, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, for filing with the SEC.

Employment Agreement with Michael Bebel

On February 6, 2019 and effective as of January 29, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), Michael Bebel was promoted to the role of the Senior Executive Vice President of our Company (previously our Executive Vice President of Corporate Development and Rights Management). In connection with such promotion, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Bebel, dated as of the Effective Date, for a term of three years at an annual salary of $275,000, which salary could be increased to $325,000 as provided in his employment agreement. We also agreed to reimburse Mr. Bebel for his relocation expenses in an amount not to exceed $35,000, as well as to pay him an additional amount to compensate him for tax payments due on such amount, such that the net after-tax proceeds to him of the reimbursement of his relocation expenses and such relocation tax gross-up equal to the amount of his reimbursable expenses. Subsequently, Mr. Bebel agreed to defer the increase of his salary, as well as the payment of his relocation expenses (and any reimbursement of taxes due on such amount) until a future date upon which the Salary Increase Event financing condition is satisfied (as set forth in his employment agreement). Mr. Bebel is eligible to earn an annual fiscal year cash performance bonus for each whole or partial fiscal year of his employment period with our Company in accordance with our annual bonus plan applicable to our senior executives. Mr. Bebel’s “target” performance bonus shall be 100% of his average annualized base salary during the fiscal year for which the performance bonus is earned. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Bebel was granted 500,000 restricted stock units of the Company (the “Bebel RSUs”) under the 2016 Plan. 83,105 of the Bebel RSUs shall vest on the later of (i) July 28, 2019 and (ii) the earlier of (x) the expiration of any “lock up” agreement in respect of shares of our capital stock to which Mr. Bebel is subject and (y) June 30, 2019, and the remainder of 416,895 of the Bebel RSUs shall vest in ten equal instalments every three months thereafter with the last vesting date being the three-year anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to Mr. Bebel’s continued employment with our Company through the applicable vesting date.

In the event of a “Change of Control” (as defined in his employment agreement) any unvested portion of the Bebel RSUs shall vest immediately prior to such event. Each Bebel RSU grant will be evidenced by an award agreement that will comply with the provisions of his employment agreement applicable to the Bebel RSUs.

If Mr. Bebel’s employment is terminated by us “Without Cause” or by Mr. Bebel for “Good Reason” (each as defined in his employment agreement, subject to our right to cure), he will be entitled to termination benefits, consisting of (i) payment to Mr. Bebel of his certain accrued obligations, any unpaid Prior Year Bonus and any Pro Rata Bonus (each as defined in his employment agreement); (ii) payment of his then annual base salary and his and his dependents continued participation in all of our medical benefit plans for a period from the termination date through the lesser of 12 months or the period through and inclusive of the last day of the term of his employment agreement, and (iii) immediate vesting and exercisability of 100% of his unvested Bebel RSUs and any other equity awards, with such awards to remain exercisable for a period of six months from the termination date or the date the award first becomes vested and exercisable, but in all events no later than the applicable term for each such award, and with all restrictions on such RSUs and equity awards to automatically and immediately lapse. If Mr. Bebel’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or Disability (as defined in his employment agreement, subject to our right to cure), he will be entitled to termination benefits, consisting of (i) payment to Mr. Bebel of his certain accrued obligations, any unpaid Prior Year Bonus and any Pro Rata Bonus (each as defined in his employment agreement); and (ii) immediate vesting and exercisability of such number of his unvested Bebel RSUs and any other equity awards that would have vested in the 12-month period following the termination date had Mr. Bebel’s employment with us continued, with such awards to remain exercisable for a period of 12 months from the termination date or the date the award first becomes vested and exercisable, but in all events no later than the applicable term for each such award, and with all restrictions on such vested Bebel RSUs and equity awards to automatically and immediately lapse. Mr. Bebel’s employment agreement also contains covenants for the benefit of our Company relating to non-interference with our business after termination of employment and protection of our confidential information, certain customary representations and warranties and standard indemnification obligations by our Company.

2016 Equity Incentive Plan

On August 29, 2016, our board of directors and stockholders approved our 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2016 Plan”). On September 20, 2018, our board of directors approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2016 Plan, which was approved by our shareholders on November 29, 2018, to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan by 5,000,000 shares to 12,600,000, and make a few additional changes which were not considered material. Such increase became effective on February 11, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, 4,981,668 stock options to purchase shares of our common stock, 408,433 shares of our common stock and 1,377,391 restricted stock units have been issued and outstanding under the 2016 Plan. As described below, incentive awards authorized under the 2016 Plan include, but are not limited to, incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. If an incentive award granted under the 2016 Plan expires, terminates, is unexercised or is forfeited, or if any shares are surrendered to us in connection with the exercise of an incentive award, the shares subject to such award and the surrendered shares will become available for further awards under the 2016 Plan.

Administration — The compensation committee of our board of directors, or our board of directors in the absence of such a committee, will administer the 2016 Plan. Subject to the terms of the 2016 Plan, the compensation committee or our board of directors has complete authority and discretion to determine the terms upon which awards may be granted under the 2016 Plan.

Grants — The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant to participants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance grants intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), as described below:

• Options granted under the 2016 Plan entitle the grantee, upon exercise, to purchase up to a specified number of shares from us at a specified exercise price per share. The exercise price for shares of common stock covered by an option generally cannot be less than the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant unless agreed to otherwise at the time of the grant. In addition, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who, at the time the incentive stock option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of stock of our Company or any parent or subsidiary, the per share exercise price will be no less than 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

• Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units may be awarded on terms and conditions established by the compensation committee or our board of directors, which may include performance conditions for restricted stock awards and the lapse of restrictions on the achievement of one or more performance goals for restricted stock units.

• The compensation committee or our board of directors may make performance grants, each of which will contain performance goals for the award, including the performance criteria, the target and maximum amounts payable, and other terms and conditions.

• The 2016 Plan authorizes the granting of stock awards. The compensation committee or our board of directors will establish the number of shares of our common stock to be awarded (subject to the aggregate limit established under the 2016 Plan upon the number of shares of our common stock that may be awarded or sold under the 2016 Plan) and the terms applicable to each award, including performance restrictions.

• SARs entitle the participant to receive a distribution in an amount not to exceed the number of shares of our common stock subject to the portion of the SAR exercised multiplied by the difference between the market price of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise of the SAR and the market price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

Non-Transferability of Awards — Unless our compensation committee provides otherwise, the 2016 Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain Adjustments — In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the 2016 Plan, the compensation committee will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the 2016 Plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award, and the numerical share limits set forth in the 2016 Plan.

35

Dissolution, Liquidation — The 2016 Plan provides that in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of our Company, to the extent it has not been previously exercised, an award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

Merger, Change of Control — The 2016 Plan provides that in the event of a merger or a change of control, as defined under the 2016 Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the compensation committee determines, including, without limitation, that each award will be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of the successor corporation.

Duration, Amendment, and Termination — Our board of directors has the power to amend, suspend or terminate the 2016 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time. No change may be made that increases the total number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to incentive awards or reduces the minimum exercise price for options or exchange of options for other incentive awards, unless such change is authorized by our stockholders within one year of such change. Unless sooner terminated, the 2016 Plan would terminate ten years after it was adopted.

Recent Employment Agreements and Amendments

Employment Agreement with Jerome N. Gold (Chief Strategy Officer and EVP) — In April 2018, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Gold, as amended. Pursuant to the amendment, (i) Mr. Gold continued to receive an annual salary of $300,000 from December 27, 2017 until April 30, 2018, and from and after May 1, 2018, shall receive an annual salary of $180,000, and (ii) Mr. Gold was granted 250,000 restricted stock units (the “Gold RSUs”).

38

June 30, 2019 (the period until June 30, 2019, the “Lock-up Period”), (iii) the date of Mr. Gold’s death, provided such event occurs after the expiration of the Lock-up Period, and (iv) the date of Mr. Gold’s Disability (as defined in his Employment Agreement), provided such event occurs after the expiration of the Lock-up Period. In the event of a “Change of Control” any unvested portion of Gold RSUs shall vest immediately prior to such event. Each Gold RSU grant will be evidenced by an award agreement that shall specify such other terms and conditions as the Board, in its sole discretion, will determine in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2016 Plan, including all terms, conditions and restrictions related to the grant and the form of payout, which, subject to the 2016 Plan, may be left to the discretion of the Board.

Employment Agreement with Dermot McCormack (President) — In July 2019, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. McCormack for a term of three years at an annual salary of $500,000. Mr. McCormack is also eligible to earn an annual fiscal year cash performance bonus for each whole or partial fiscal year of his employment period with the Company in accordance with the Company’s annual bonus plan applicable to the Company’s senior executive. Mr. McCormack’s “target” performance bonus shall be 100% of his average annualized base salary during the fiscal year for which the performance bonus is earned. Mr. McCormack was also granted 1,000,000 restricted stock units (the “RSUs”). The RSUs were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The RSUs shall one-time cliff vest on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to Mr. McCormack’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date. Each vested RSU shall be settled by delivery to Mr. McCormack of one share of the Company’s common stock on the first to occur of: (i) the date of a Change of Control, (ii) the date that is ten days following the vesting of the RSUs, and (iii) the date of Mr. McCormack’s death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement) (in any case, the “Settlement Date”).

The RSUs grant was evidenced by an award agreement that specifies such other terms and conditions in accordance with the 2016 Plan, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement.

If Mr. McCormack’s employment is terminated by the Company “Without Cause” or by Mr. McCormack for “Good Reason” (each as defined in the Employment Agreement, subject to the Company’s right to cure), he will be entitled to termination benefits, pursuant to which (i) the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. McCormack certain accrued obligations and any unpaid Prior Year Bonus; (ii) if such termination occurs after the first three months from the Effective Date, (x) the Company will be obligated to continue to pay Mr. McCormack his base salary, medical benefits and any Pro Rata Bonus (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for a period of six months from the termination date, and (y) 50% of the RSUs and any unvested equity awards shall automatically accelerate and become vested as of the termination date and exercisable for a period of 12 months from the termination date or the date the award first becomes vested and exercisable, but in all events no later than the applicable term for each such award, and date; and (iii) if such termination occurs after the first six months from the Effective Date, (x) the Company will be obligated to continue to pay Mr. McCormack his base salary, medical benefits and any Pro Rata Bonus for a period of 12 months from the termination date, and (y) 100% of the RSUs and any unvested equity awards shall automatically accelerate and become vested as of the termination date and exercisable for a period of 12 months from the termination date or the date the award first becomes vested and exercisable, but in all events no later than the applicable term for each such award, and date. Any such RSUs that vest as a result of such accelerated vesting shall be settled as set forth in the Employment Agreement, and all restrictions on such equity awards and vested RSUs shall automatically and immediately lapse (other than the Lock-Up Period and Daily Trading Limit as discussed below). The Employment Agreement contains covenants for the benefit of the Company relating to non-interference with the Company’s business after termination of employment and protection of the Company’s confidential information, certain customary representations and warranties and standard Company indemnification obligations.

If Mr. McCormack receives any RSUs as a result of their accelerated vesting in the event of his death, Disability or his termination without “Cause” or for “Good Reason”, Mr. McCormack agreed to a lock-up period of 12 months from the applicable vesting date (the “Lock-Up Period”). During the Lock-up Period, Mr. McCormack agreed not to dispose or transfer any shares of the Company’s common stock received pursuant to his Employment Agreement, subject to certain standard exceptions. Subsequent to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, for a period of one year, Mr. McCormack shall not have the right to sell on each trading day more than 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification affecting the Company’s equity securities occurring after the Effective Date (the “Daily Trading Limit”); provided, that (x) the Daily Trading Limit shall not apply to the Company’s equity securities obtained by Mr. McCormack in open market transactions and (y) such obligations with regard to the Daily Trading Limit shall terminate upon a Change of Control. If, after the Effective Date, any “C” level executive of the Company, who is a party to or who enters into an employment agreement

39

with the Company, shall be afforded a more favorable provision (or provisions) with such terms not already included in such employment agreement as of the Effective Date with regard to the restrictions on the transfer of such executive’s shares during the Lock-Up Period (including without limitation as to the duration of, and termination of, the Lock-Up Period, and as to the Daily Trading Limit), the provisions of the Employment Agreement applicable to such restrictions shall be deemed to be automatically amended to provide for such more favorable provision(s).

Indemnification Agreements

Our Bylaws provide that none of our officers or directors shall be personally liable for any obligations of our Company or for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of said officer or director performed for or on behalf of our Company, including without limitation, acts of negligence or contributory negligence. In addition, our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify and hold harmless each person and their heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a director or officer of our Company from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of their having heretofore or hereafter been a director or officer of our Company, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him or her as such director or officer, and that we shall reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any such claim, judgment or liability, including our power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law; provided, however, that no such persons shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his (or her) own willful misconduct. In addition, we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers and some of our executives may have certain indemnification rights arising under their employment agreements with us. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Policies and Procedures for Transactions with Related Persons

We intend to adopt a written related-person transactions policy that will set forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related-person transactions.” For purposes of this policy only, a “related-person transaction” shall be a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000.

We are in the process of adopting a written Related-Person Transactions Policy that will set forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related-person transactions.” Our Audit Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing, approving and overseeing all related-person transactions, as defined in the SEC regulations. This responsibility will be set forth, in part, in our Related-Person Transactions Policy and is set forth in the Audit Committee Charter.

Generally, the policy will cover any transaction in which we were or will be a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and any “related person” had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. “Related person” includes, generally, any of our Company’s (i) directors or executive officers, (ii) nominees for director, (iii) stockholders who beneficially own more than 5% of any class of our voting securities and (iv) family members of any of the persons set forth in (i) through (iii) above.

OTHER INFORMATION

Deadline for Submission of Stockholder Proposals and Nomination of Directors for Next Year’s Annual Meeting

Stockholder Proposals for the 2020 Annual Meeting

You may submit proposals for consideration at future stockholder meetings. For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the proposal must (i) be delivered to us on or before 30 or more days before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and (ii) comply with all applicable SEC rules and regulations, including Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Since our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held more than 30 days before the anniversary date of our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we believe such deadline provides our stockholders a reasonable time to submit proposals for consideration at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We will include the specific deadline in one of our future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Any proposals not received by this deadline will be untimely and not included in our 2020 proxy materials.

Alternatively, under our Bylaws, since our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held more than 30 days before the anniversary date of our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, a stockholder may bring a proposal before our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, without including the proposal in our proxy materials, if (i) the stockholder provides us notice of the proposal no earlier than the 120th day prior to our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and not later than the 90th day prior to our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is first made and (ii) the proposal concerns a matter that may be properly considered and acted upon at the annual meeting in accordance with our Bylaws and corporate governance policies. Any such proposal not received by this deadline will be untimely and not considered at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Stockholders are advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals. Our bylaws are publicly available in the “SEC Filings” section of our investor relations/corporate governance website at http://ir.livexlive.com/ir-home.

Proposals should be addressed to:

Nomination of Directors for the 2020 Annual Meeting

You may propose a director nominee for consideration at the next annual meeting of our stockholders by complying with our Bylaws, which provide for a notice that must (i) be delivered to us at our principal executive offices set forth immediately above no earlier than the 120th day prior to our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and not later than the 90th day prior to our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or, if later, the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is first made, (ii) provide all information relating to the director nominee that is required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies for the election of directors in an election contest, or that is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and (iii) provide the director nominee’s written consent to serve as a director if elected. Stockholders are advised to review our Bylaws with respect to director nominations. These documents are publicly available in the “SEC Filings” section of our investor relations/corporate governance website at http://ir.livexlive.com/ir-home.

Participants in the Solicitation

Under applicable regulations of the SEC, directors and certain officers of our Company may be deemed to be “participants” in the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors in connection with the Annual Meeting.

41

Expenses of Solicitation

All costs of solicitations of proxies will be borne by us. In addition to solicitations by mail, our directors, officers and regular employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone, telecopy, e-mail, personal interviews, and other means. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in their names, and we will reimburse them for their out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

Other Matters

Other than as set forth above, the board of directors is not aware of any other business that may be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the designated proxy holders, Mr. Ellin and Mr. Zemetra, to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Accordingly, you are urged to sign and return the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction card, as the case may be, whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

Annual Report on Form 10-K

An electronic copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on June 24, 2019, is available free of charge in the “SEC Filings” section of our investor relations/corporate governance website at http://ir.livexlive.com/ir-home. A paper copy of the Annual Report may be obtained upon written request to: LiveXLive Media, Inc., 269 South Beverly Drive, Suite #1450, Beverly Hills, CA 90212, attention: Office Manager. Exhibits will be provided upon written request and payment of an appropriate processing fee.

“Householding” of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, banks and other nominees, to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of proxy materials, other than the proxy card, to those stockholders. This process is commonly referred to as “householding.” Your nominee may engage in householding. Through householding, beneficial owners who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of the proxy materials unless one or more of these owners notifies us or their nominee that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. Beneficial owners who participate in householding will receive separate proxy cards. This procedure will reduce printing costs and postage fees.

To commence or discontinue householding, please notify your broker, bank or other nominee. Alternatively, you may direct such requests in writing to LiveXLive Media, Inc., 269 South Beverly Drive, Suite #1450, Beverly Hills, CA 90212, Attention: Office Manager, or by phone at (310) 601-2500. Individual copies of the proxy materials also may be requested at any time at this same address and telephone number.
