Dear Stockholder:
You are cordially invited to attend our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be will be held virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRPO2022, on Monday, June 13, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You will be able to attend the meeting online and submit questions during the meeting by visiting the website listed above. You will also be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting. The meeting will be held online only. We are pleased to use the virtual meeting format to facilitate stockholder attendance, voting and questions by leveraging technology to communicate more effectively and efficiently with our stockholders. This format allows stockholders to participate fully from any location, without the cost of travel. Because the Annual Meeting is virtual and being conducted electronically, stockholders cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person. Instructions regarding how to attend the meeting online and details concerning the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting are more fully described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement which are a part of this invitation.
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote on each of the two proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the proxy statement, which describe the formal business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting and follow this letter.
It is important that your shares are represented and voted at the Annual Meeting regardless of the size of your holdings. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please complete, sign, date and return the accompanying proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope or vote electronically via the Internet or by telephone, if permitted by the broker or other nominee that holds your shares. Voting electronically, by telephone, or by returning your proxy card in advance of the Annual Meeting does not deprive you of your right to attend the Annual Meeting. Please review the instructions on each of your voting options described in the Proxy Statement.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is evolving, continues to spread globally, and to date has led to the implementation of various responses, including government-imposed quarantines, closure of non-essential business, work-from-home directives, travel restrictions, physical distancing, shelter-in-place orders and other public health safety measures. Despite recent progress in the administration of vaccines, both the outbreak of recent variants, including Delta and Omicron, and the related containment and mitigation measures that have been put into place across the globe, have had an adverse impact on the global economy and our business, the severity and duration of which are uncertain. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact, both direct and indirect, on businesses and commerce, as worker shortages have occurred; supply chains have been disrupted; facilities and production have been suspended; and demand for certain goods and services may be slow to return to pre-pandemic levels, if they return to pre-pandemic levels. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many of our employees are continuing to work remotely outside of our offices. Additionally, while our laboratory operations resumed to near-normal capacity, we may continue to experience challenges in procuring materials and supplies in a consistently timely manner due to COVID-19-related supply chain issues. The demand for COVID-19 vaccines and potential for manufacturing facilities and materials to be commandeered under the Defense Production Act of 1950, or equivalent foreign legislation, may make it more difficult to obtain materials or manufacturing. If any of our third-party manufacturers is adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or if they divert resources or manufacturing capacity to accommodate the development or manufacture of COVID-19 coronavirus vaccines, our supply chain may be disrupted, limiting our ability to produce our diagnostic tests.
Going forward, we expect that challenges to our business to continue depending on the rules and regulations imposed by various states. We have been and will continue to be prudent in managing through this economic crisis. Digital connectivity is now fundamental to the continuity of our business operations. We continually engage our employees and customers in keeping safe. We monitor adherence to governmental guidelines. We have employed

remote work where possible. In this unchartered time, we recognize the need for frequent and transparent communication to all parties. As necessary, we will provide additional information related to this economic condition, including the impact to our future operating results due to downturns in global economies and financial markets.
With COVID-19 still a presence in our lives, as management mentioned on the Stockholders’ call which took place on Monday April 4, 2022, in the fourth quarter of 2021, we achieved revenues of $2.4 million, an increase of 8% from the prior quarter, and a year-over-year increase of $0.5 million or 25% from Q4-2020. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, revenues increased from $6.1 million to $8.8 million, a $2.7 million, or 44%, increase from 2020. As also mentioned on the April 4, Stockholders’ call, our revenues from diagnostic services grew both quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. In management’s opinion, below are some key drivers of this growth:

• | Improved sales team management and performance. Our team is better trained; better equipped and better positioned to deliver our message to our customers. We’re also seeing access to customers improve, with the ability to meet with customers in person, which significantly impacts the prospecting and sales process, as well as interaction with existing customers. This resulted in an increase of 23% in case volume in 2021.

• | Improved operations. We took various steps to revamp some of the lab operations, resulting in an increase in cases reported within the committed turnaround time from 80 to 96%.

• | Cross pollination between products and services division. During the fourth quarter of 2021, one of our HemeScreen customers also became a diagnostic services customer. This is the first time we have seen this cross-pollination effect, where the relationship and quality of our products opened up a discussion to the other side of our business, diagnostic services. We now serve this customer with both divisions of the company.

If you have any questions concerning this Proxy Statement or our upcoming Annual Meeting and you are the stockholder of record of your shares, please contact Precipio’s Chief Executive Officer Ilan Danieli at (203) 787-7888 ex. 536. If your shares are held by a broker or other nominee (that is, in “street name”), please contact your broker or other nominee for questions concerning the Annual Meeting.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to seeing those of you who will be able to attend the Annual Meeting.

| ​ | ​ | Sincerely yours,
| ​ | ​ | /S/ ILAN DANIELI

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be Held June 13, 2022
To the Stockholders of Precipio, Inc.:
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Precipio, Inc. (the “Company”) will be held virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRPO2022, on Monday, June 13, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Stockholders will be able to listen to and participate in the meeting live, submit questions, and vote by entering the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card. Because the Annual Meeting is virtual and being conducted electronically, stockholders cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person. The Annual Meeting is being held for the following purposes:

(1) | To elect Ilan Danieli and David Cohen as Class I directors for terms to expire in 2025 (“Proposal One”);

(2) | To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022 (“Proposal Two”); and

(3) | To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on Friday April 22, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The Proxy Statement contains important information for you to consider when deciding how to vote on the matters brought before the Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday, June 13, 2022. Online check-in will begin at 3:45 p.m. Eastern Time, and you should allow approximately 15 minutes for the online check-in procedures.

To vote online or by phone, you will need to use your 16-digit control number found on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the proxy card or the voting instruction form.
The Company is pleased to take advantage of Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) rules that allow companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. The Company is mailing to many of our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2022 (“Annual Report”). The Notice of Internet Availability contains instructions on how to access those documents and to cast your vote via the Internet. The Notice of Internet Availability also contains instructions on how to request a paper copy of our proxy materials and our Annual Report. This method of notice and access gives the Company a low-cost way to furnish stockholders with their proxy materials. If you previously chose to receive proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive access to these materials via email unless you elect otherwise. The Notice of Internet Availability will be mailed on or about April 28, 2022 to our beneficial owners and stockholders of record who owned our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date. All stockholders who do not receive a Notice will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials and the Annual Report by mail. This process allows the Company to provide its stockholders with the information they need on a more timely basis, while reducing the environmental impact and lowering the costs of printing and distributing our proxy materials.

PROXY STATEMENT
for
2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
of
PRECIPIO, INC.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Precipio, Inc. (the “Company”) is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) which will be held virtually via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRPO2022, on Monday, June 13, 2022, at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Stockholders will be able to listen to and participate in the meeting live, submit questions, and vote online. Because the Annual Meeting is virtual and being conducted electronically, stockholders cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on Friday April 22, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, June 13, 2022. Online check-in will begin at 3:45 p.m. Eastern time, and you should allow approximately 15 minutes for the online check-in procedures.
In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide our beneficial owners and stockholders of record access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Beneficial owners are stockholders whose shares of our common stock are held in the name of a broker, bank or other agent (i.e., in “street name”). Accordingly, a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) will be mailed on or about April 28, 2022 to our beneficial owners and stockholders of record who owned our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date.
Beneficial owners and stockholders of record will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice or request that a printed set of the proxy materials be sent to them by following the instructions in the Notice. Beneficial owners and stockholders of record who have previously requested to receive paper copies of our proxy materials will receive paper copies of the proxy materials instead of a Notice.
This proxy statement has been prepared by the management of Precipio, Inc.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING
Why did I Receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the Mail instead of a Full Set of Proxy Materials?
We are pleased to take advantage of the SEC rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent to our stockholders of record a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet free of charge or to request a paper copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Our stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically on an ongoing basis. A stockholder’s election to receive proxy materials by mail or electronically will remain in effect until the stockholder changes the stockholder’s election.
What Does it Mean if I Receive More than One Notice?
If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Who is soliciting my vote?
Our Board of Directors is soliciting your vote for the Annual Meeting.
How does the Board recommend I vote on the proposals?
Our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposal One and Proposal Two.
Who Can Vote?
Stockholders who owned common stock at the close of business on Friday April 22, 2022 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 22,708,708 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote with respect to all matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder of record is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held by such stockholder.
You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Shares represented by valid proxies, received in time for the Annual Meeting and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. A stockholder may revoke a proxy before the proxy is voted by delivering to our Secretary a signed statement of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date. Any stockholder who has executed a proxy card but attends the Annual Meeting in person may revoke the proxy and vote at the 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 EQ Shareowner Services 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. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares.
How Do I Vote?
Whether you plan to attend the virtual Annual Meeting online or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via Internet or telephone. You may specify whether your shares should be voted for or withheld for each nominee for director, and how your shares should be voted with respect to each of the other proposals. Except as set forth below, if you properly submit a proxy without
2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as noted below. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the virtual Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, or you have stock certificates, you may vote:

• | By mail. Complete and mail the proxy card in the enclosed postage prepaid envelope. Your proxy will be voted in accordance with your instructions. If you sign the proxy card, but do not specify how you want your shares voted, they will be voted as recommended by the Board. Proxy cards submitted by mail must be received no later than by June 12, 2022 to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

• | By Telephone. You may vote using a touch-tone telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card. Votes submitted by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 12, 2022.

• | By Internet (before the Annual Meeting). You may vote at www.proxyvote.com, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card. Votes submitted through the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 12, 2022.

• | By Attending the Virtual Annual Meeting. This year’s Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders and will be webcast live over the internet. Please go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRPO2022 for instructions on how to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting. You will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the proxy card or the voting instruction form. If you previously voted via the Internet (or by telephone or mail), you will not limit your right to vote virtually at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee), you must provide the bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares and can do so as follows:

○ | By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions you receive from your broker to vote by Internet or telephone.

○ | By mail. You will receive instructions from your broker or other nominee explaining how to vote your shares.

How Will my Shares be Voted if I Give No Specific Instruction?
We must vote your shares as you have instructed. If there is a matter on which a stockholder of record has given no specific instruction but has authorized us generally to vote the shares, they will be voted as follows:

• | “FOR” Proposal One - the election of the Board nominees as directors;

• | “FOR” Proposal Two - ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

This authorization would exist, for example, if a stockholder of record merely signs, dates and returns the proxy card but does not indicate how its shares are to be voted on one or more proposals. If other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting and you do not provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the proxies.
May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?
If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before the Annual Meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

• | signing a new proxy card and submitting it as instructed above;

• | if your shares are held in street name, re-voting by Internet or by telephone as instructed above – only your latest Internet or telephone vote will be counted;

• | if your shares are registered in your name, notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

• | attending the Annual Meeting in person and voting in person. Attending the Annual Meeting in person will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy unless you specifically request it.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Will My Shares Be Voted If I Do Not Return My Proxy Card?
If your shares are registered in your name or if you have stock certificates, they will not be voted if you do not return your proxy card by mail, telephone, internet or vote at the Annual Meeting as described above under “How Do I Vote?” If your broker cannot vote your shares on a particular matter because it has not received instructions from you and does not have discretionary voting authority on that matter, or because your broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it does have discretionary voting authority, this is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) has rules that govern brokers who have record ownership of listed company stock (including stock such as ours that is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market or Nasdaq) held in brokerage accounts for their clients who beneficially own the shares. Under these rules, brokers who do not receive voting instructions from their clients have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on certain matters (“routine matters”), but do not have the discretion to vote uninstructed shares as to certain other matters (“non-routine matters”). Under NYSE interpretations:

• | Proposal 1 (election of the Board nominees as directors) is considered a non-routine matter.

• | Proposal 2 (ratification of our independent public accountant) is considered a routine matter.

If your shares are held in street name and you do not provide voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares as described above under “How Do I Vote?,” the bank, broker or other nominee has the authority, even if it does not receive instructions from you, to vote your unvoted shares for Proposal 2 (the ratification of our independent public accountant) but does not have authority to vote your unvoted shares for Proposal 1 (election of the Board nominees as directors).
We encourage you to provide voting instructions. This ensures your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting in the manner you desire.
Why is the Annual Meeting a virtual, online meeting?
As a part of our precautions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided to hold our Annual Meeting solely online. We believe that hosting a virtual meeting under the current environment will facilitate shareholder attendance and participation by enabling shareholders to participate from any location around the world and improves our ability to communicate more effectively with our shareholders. We have designed the virtual meeting to provide substantially the same opportunities to participate as you would have at an in-person meeting.
How do I participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting?
We are pleased to use the virtual meeting format to facilitate stockholder attendance, voting and questions by leveraging technology to communicate more effectively and efficiently with our stockholders. This format allows stockholders to participate fully from any location, without the cost of travel.
To participate in the virtual meeting, visit www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRPO2022 and enter the 16-digit control number included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the proxy card or the voting instruction form.

We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting before it begins.
Stockholders will also have the opportunity to submit questions during the Annual Meeting through www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PRPO2022.

Where may I find copies of Proxy Materials and the Annual Report?
The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and Proxy Statement and Annual Report are posted on the Company’s website at www.precipiodx.com/investors.html and at www.proxyvote.com.
What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?

Proposal One: Election of Directors | ​ | ​ | The directors must be elected by a plurality vote. Our stockholders do not have the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. If a stockholder votes to “abstain” with respect to this proposal, such stockholder’s shares will not be voted with respect to this proposal. Broker non-votes and withheld votes will not be counted as votes cast for this proposal and as such will have no impact on the outcome of this proposal.
| ​ | ​ |
Proposal Two: Ratification of the Appointment of Marcum LLP as our Independent Public Accountant for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2022 | ​ | ​ | The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for this proposal is required to ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent public accountant. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as a negative vote. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to appoint the Company’s independent accountant. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee of the Board may reconsider its appointment.

How are Votes Counted?
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for the election of directors, “For,” “Withhold” and broker non-votes; and, with respect to the other proposals, votes “For” and “Against,” abstentions and broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will not be included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the proposals and, therefore, will have no effect on such proposals.
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 sign your proxy card but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote on “routine” proposals, your broker will vote your shares as recommended by the Board. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any “non-routine” proposals. This vote is called a “broker non-vote.” Because broker non-votes are not considered under Delaware law to be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, broker non-votes will not be included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the proposals and, therefore, will have no effect on these proposals.
What Constitutes a Quorum for the Annual Meeting?
The presence, virtually in the meeting or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Votes of stockholders of record who are present at the Annual Meeting virtually in the meeting or by proxy, abstentions, and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Householding of Annual Disclosure Documents
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for Proxy Availability Notice or other Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice or other Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as householding, potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are our stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A Notice or proxy materials will be delivered in one single envelope to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from one or more of the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.
Those stockholders who either (i) do not wish to participate in “householding” and would like to receive their own sets of our annual disclosure documents in future years or (ii) who share an address with another one of our stockholders and who would like to receive only a single set of our annual disclosure documents should follow the instructions described below:

• | Stockholders whose shares are registered in their own name should contact our transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, 1110 Centre Pointe Curve Suite 101, Mendota Heights, MN 55120, Tel: 855-217-6361.

• | Stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other nominee should contact such broker or other nominee directly and inform them of their request. Stockholders should be sure to include their name, the name of their brokerage firm and their account number.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
In addition to mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors, officers and employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s annual meeting?
At our annual meeting each year, our Board of Directors submits to stockholders its nominees for election as directors. In addition, the Board of Directors may submit other matters to the stockholders for action at the annual meeting.
The required notice must be in writing and received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 60 days, from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting were held in the preceding year, a stockholder’s notice must be so received no earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (A) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and (B) the tenth day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made.
In addition, any stockholder who meets the requirements of the proxy rules under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) may submit proposals to the Board of Directors to be presented at the next annual meeting. Such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and must be submitted in writing by notice delivered or mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, to our Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above and must be received not later than December 31, 2022. If the date of the annual meeting is moved by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, then notice must be received within a reasonable time before we begin to print and send proxy materials in order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials to be disseminated by the Board of Directors for such annual meeting. We will publicly announce the deadline for submitting a proposal in a press release or in a document filed with the SEC.
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide for separate notice procedures to recommend a person for nomination as a director or to propose business to be considered by stockholders at a meeting. To be considered

TABLE OF CONTENTS

timely under these provisions, the stockholder’s notice must be received by our Secretary at our principal executive offices at the address set forth above (i) no later than 35 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that if less than 35 days’ notice of a meeting of stockholders is given to the stockholders, such notice must be made or delivered to our Secretary not later than the close of business on the seventh day following the day on which the notice of a meeting was mailed; and (ii) in the case of a special meeting of stockholders, no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice.
The Board of Directors, a designated committee thereof or the chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the introduction of any stockholder proposal if it is not made in compliance with the applicable notice provisions.
How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in our Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) business days after the Annual Meeting.
What Interest Do Officers and Directors Have in Matters to Be Acted Upon?
Members of the Board of Directors and executive officers of the Company do not have any interest in any proposal that is not shared by all other stockholders of the Company except for Proposal One.
Do I Have Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal?
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 Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Board of Directors and Committees
Our Board consists of seven directors which are elected by the holders of our common stock. The Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with directors in each class serving for a term of three years.
The term of office of the current Class I, Class II and Class III and the directors representing each class is set out below.

NAME | ​ | ​ | Term expiry | ​ | ​ | Class
Ilan Danieli | ​ | ​ | 2022 | ​ | ​ | I
David S. Cohen | ​ | ​ | 2022 | ​ | ​ | I
Douglas Fisher, M.D. | ​ | ​ | 2023 | ​ | ​ | II
Jeffrey Cossman, M.D. | ​ | ​ | 2023 | ​ | ​ | II
Richard Sandberg | ​ | ​ | 2023 | ​ | ​ | II
Kathleen D. LaPorte | ​ | ​ | 2024 | ​ | ​ | III
Ron A. Andrews | ​ | ​ | 2024 | ​ | ​ | III

Upon the expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors in that class will be eligible to be elected for a new three-year term at the Annual Meeting of stockholders in the year in which their term expires.
The Board has nominated Ilan Danieli and David Cohen for election by the stockholders as the Class I directors to serve three-year terms expiring at the Annual Meeting of stockholders in 2025. Each of the nominated directors has expressed his intention to continue to serve on the Board if elected. There are no arrangements or understandings between each of the directors and any other person pursuant to which they were selected as nominees.
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that directors are elected by a plurality vote. Therefore, our directors will be elected as if they are the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes. This means that votes withheld and broker non-votes with respect to the election of the directors will have no effect on the election of such directors. If one of the directors is unable to serve as a director, the Board may nominate a substitute nominee. In that case, the Board will vote all valid proxies that voted in favor of the director that is unable to serve, for the election of the substitute nominee.
Certain biographical information regarding our director nominees and directors continuing in office after the Annual Meeting, including their ages is set forth below in “-Information About Our Board Of Directors”. In each individual’s biography we have highlighted specific experience, qualifications, and skills that have led the Board to conclude that such individual is a valued member of our Board. In addition to these specific attributes, all of our directors have significant expertise in one or more areas of importance to our business and have high-level managerial experience in relatively complex organizations or are accustomed to dealing with complex problems. We believe all of our directors are individuals of high character and integrity, are able to work well with others, and have sufficient time to devote to the affairs of our company.
Vote Required
The nominees for director who receive the greatest number of votes FOR election (also known as a plurality) will be elected as directors. You may vote either FOR all of the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all of the nominees or WITHHOLD your vote from any one of the nominees. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of directors. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES NAMED IN PROPOSAL ONE

To the extent possible, director recruitment efforts include several of these factors and the Board strives to recruit candidates that enhance the Board’s diversity.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
On March 1, 2021, certain stylistic, technical and administrative amendments to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to directors, officers and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller) as approved by the Board, upon recommendation from the Governance and Nominating Committee, took effect. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.precipiodx.com. In order to satisfy our disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K, we will disclose amendments to, or waivers of, certain provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics relating to our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions on our website promptly following the adoption of any such amendment or waiver. The Code provides that any waivers of, or changes to, the Code that apply to the Company’s executive officers or directors may be made only by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Code includes updated procedures for non-executive officer employees to seek waivers of the Code.
Corporate Governance
Our Board has determined that having an independent director serve as the Chairperson of the Board is in the best interests of our stockholders. Our Chairperson of the Board is Mr. Richard Sandberg. We believe that this leadership structure enhances the accountability of our CEO to the Board and strengthens the Board’s independence from management. While both Mr. Sandberg and Mr. Danieli are actively engaged in significant matters affecting our Company, such as long-term strategy, we believe splitting these leadership positions enables Mr. Danieli to focus his efforts on running our business and managing our Company while permitting Mr. Sandberg to focus on the governance of our Company, including Board oversight.
Anti-Hedging Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy that, among other things, expressly prohibits all of our employees, including our named executive officers, as well as our directors, and certain of their family members and related entities, from engaging in short sales of our securities, purchases or sales of puts, calls or other derivative securities based on our securities; and purchases of financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds) that are designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our securities.

Our Board conducts its business through meetings, both in person and telephonic, and by actions taken by written consent in lieu of meetings. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, our Board held thirteen (13) meetings. All directors attended at least 95% of the meetings of our Board and of the committees of our Board on which they served during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Our Board encourages all directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders unless it is not reasonably practicable for a director to do so.
COMMITTEES OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board has established and delegated certain responsibilities to its standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Audit Committee
We have a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities include monitoring the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, monitoring the independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm, and monitoring our compliance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The functions of the Audit Committee also include reviewing periodically with our independent registered public accounting firm the performance of the services for which they are engaged, including reviewing the scope of the annual audit and its results, reviewing with management and the auditors the adequacy of our internal accounting controls, reviewing with management and the auditors the financial results prior to the filing of quarterly and annual reports, reviewing fees charged by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing any transactions between our Company and related parties. Our independent registered public accounting firm reports directly and is
15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

accountable solely to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the sole authority to hire and fire the independent registered public accounting firm and is responsible for the oversight of the performance of their duties, including ensuring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also approves in advance the retention of, and all fees to be paid to, the independent registered public accounting firm. The rendering of any auditing services and all non-auditing services by the independent registered public accounting firm is subject to prior approval of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website at www.precipiodx.com. The Audit Committee is required to be composed of directors who are independent under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq’s listing standards.
Fiscal year 2021 activity
During fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the Audit Committee fulfilled its duties and responsibilities as outlined in the charter. The Committee meets at least twice each quarter; once in connection with quarterly Board meetings and once to review the quarterly Form 10-Q or annual Form 10-K. In addition, the Committee meets as needed to address emerging accounting, compliance, or other matters or for educational training. Specifically, the Committee:

• | Reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related periodic reports filed with the SEC;

• | Met in periodic executive sessions with each of management and the independent registered public accounting firm to discuss the results of the audit by the independent auditors, their evaluations of internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting, and any other matters as appropriate; and

• | Reviewed the Company’s related party transactions and Policy for Related Party Transactions

The current members of the Audit Committee are directors Ms. LaPorte, the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, Dr. Fisher and Mr. Sandberg, all of whom have been determined by the Board to be independent under the Nasdaq listing standards and rules adopted by the SEC applicable to audit committee members. The Board has determined that Ms. LaPorte, Dr. Fisher and Mr. Sandberg each qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules adopted by the SEC and the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee met eight (8) times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. Four times were during each of the quarterly meetings and four (4) additional were telephonic meetings in conjunction with the filings of the quarterly and annual reports of the Company. The Audit Committee did not take any actions by written consent.
Report of the Audit Committee
The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and for maintaining an adequate system of internal controls and processes for that purpose. Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) acts as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and they are responsible for conducting an independent audit of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), and issuing a report on the results of their audit. The Audit Committee is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of both of these processes.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 with management of the Company and with representatives of Marcum. The Audit Committee’s discussions with Marcum also included the matters required by Auditing Standard No. 1300, Auditor Communications, as adopted by the PCAOB. In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding its communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Marcum its independence from the Company and its management.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, for filing with the SEC.

Compensation Committee
The primary duties and responsibilities of our standing Compensation Committee are to review, modify and approve the overall compensation policies for the Company, including the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other senior management; establish and assess the adequacy of director compensation; and approve the adoption, amendment and termination of the Company’s stock option plans, pension and profit sharing plans, bonus plans and similar programs. The Compensation Committee may delegate to one or more officers the authority to make grants of options and restricted stock to eligible individuals other than officers and directors, subject to certain limitations. Additionally, the Compensation Committee has the authority to form subcommittees and to delegate authority to any such subcommittee. The Compensation Committee also has the authority, in its sole discretion, to select, retain and obtain, at the expense of the Company, advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting or other advisors and consultants. Moreover, the Compensation Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of director, Chief Executive Officer or senior executive compensation, including sole authority to approve such consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms, all at the Company’s expense.
The Compensation Committee considers the risks associated with our compensation policies and practices with respect to both executive compensation and compensation generally. The Compensation Committee considers the Company's long-standing culture, which emphasizes incremental continuous improvement and sustained long-term stockholder value creation, and ensures that these factors are reflected in the design of the Company's compensations plans. Our compensation program is structured so that a considerable amount of our incentive-eligible employees' compensation is tied to the long-term health of the Company. We avoid the type of disproportionately large, annual incentives that could encourage employees to take risks that may not be in our stockholder's long-term interests and we weight our management's incentive compensation toward profitability and long-term performance decisions.
The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter which is available on our website at www.precipiodx.com. All members of the Compensation Committee must satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq applicable to compensation committee members. The members of the Compensation Committee are not and have never been officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. No directors or executive officers of our Company serve on the compensation committee of another company of which a member of our Compensation Committee is an officer.
The Compensation Committee currently consists of directors Dr. Fisher and Mr. Andrews. Each of the Compensation Committee members has been determined by the Board to be independent under Nasdaq listing standards applicable to compensation committee members. The Compensation Committee met six (6) times in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, once during each of the quarterly meetings and two (2) additional telephonic meetings.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies, reviews and evaluates candidates to serve on the Board; reviews and assesses the performance of the Board and the committees of the Board; and assesses the independence of our directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for reviewing the composition of the Board’s committees and making recommendations to the entire Board regarding the chairpersonship and membership of each committee. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for developing corporate governance principles and periodically reviewing and assessing such principles, as well as periodically reviewing the Company’s policy statements to determine their adherence to the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted a Director Nominees Consideration Policy, whereby Board candidates are identified primarily through suggestions made by directors, management and
17

TABLE OF CONTENTS

stockholders of the Company. We have implemented no material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees for the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director nominees recommended by stockholders that are submitted in writing to the Company’s Corporate Secretary in a timely manner and which provide necessary biographical and business experience information regarding the nominee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed its Director Nominee Consideration Policy and it does not intend to alter the manner in which it evaluates candidates, including the criteria considered by the Nominating Committee, based on whether or not the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. The Board does not prescribe any minimum qualifications for director candidates, and all candidates for director will be evaluated based on their qualifications, diversity, age, skill and such other factors as deemed appropriate by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee given the current needs of the Board, the committees of the Board and the Company. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a specific policy on diversity, it considers the criteria noted above in selecting nominees for directors, including members from diverse backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise. Absent other factors which may be material to its evaluation of a candidate, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee expects to recommend to the Board for selection incumbent directors who express an interest in continuing to serve on the Board. Following its evaluation of a proposed director’s candidacy, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation as to whether the Board should nominate the proposed director candidate for election by the stockholders of the Company.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter which is available on our website at www.precipiodx.com. No member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may be an employee of the Company and each member must satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq and the SEC.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of directors Dr. Cossman and Mr. Cohen each of whom has been determined by the Board to be independent under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four (4) times in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, once during each of the quarterly meetings and did not take any actions by written consent.
The following matrix highlights the mix of key skills, qualities, attributes, and experiences of the board members that, among other factors, led the Nominating and Corporate Committee to recommend the individuals for election to the Board. The matrix is intended to depict notable areas of focus for each director, and not having a mark does not mean that a particular director does not possess that qualification or skill. Nominees have developed competencies in these skills through education, direct experience, and oversight responsibilities. The demographic information presented below is based on voluntary self-identification by each nominee. Additional biographical information on each nominee is set out below starting on page 10 above.

Oversight of Risk Management
Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including economic risks, financial risks, legal and regulatory risks and others, such as the impact of competition. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face, while our Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our Board is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Our Board assesses major risks facing our Company and options for their mitigation in order to promote our stockholders’ interests in the long-term health of our Company and our overall success and financial strength. A fundamental part of risk management is not only understanding the risks a company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. The involvement of our full Board in the risk oversight process allows our Board to assess management’s appetite for risk and also determine what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for our Company. Our Board regularly includes agenda items at its meetings relating to its risk oversight role and meets with various members of management on a range of topics, including corporate governance and regulatory obligations, operations and significant transactions, risk management, insurance, pending and threatened litigation and significant commercial disputes.
19

TABLE OF CONTENTS

While our Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, various committees of our Board oversee risk management in their respective areas and regularly report on their activities to our entire Board. In particular, the Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for the oversight of financial risks facing our Company. The Audit Committee’s charter provides that it will discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps we have taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our Board has also delegated primary responsibility for the oversight of all executive compensation and our employee benefit programs to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee strives to create incentives that encourage a level of risk-taking behavior consistent with our business strategy.
We believe the division of risk management responsibilities described above is an effective approach for addressing the risks facing our Company and that our Board’s leadership structure provides appropriate checks and balances against undue risk taking.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholders and other parties may communicate directly with the Board of Directors or the relevant board member by addressing communications to:
Precipio, Inc.
c/o Corporate Secretary
4 Science Park
New Haven, CT 06511
You may submit your concern anonymously or confidentially by postal mail. You may also indicate whether you are a stockholder, customer, supplier, or other interested party. All stockholder correspondence will be compiled by our corporate secretary. Communications will be distributed to the Board of Directors, or to any individual director or directors as appropriate, depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communications. A copy of any such written communication may also be forwarded to Precipio’s legal counsel and a copy of such communication may be retained for a reasonable period of time. The director may discuss the matter with Precipio’s legal counsel, with independent advisors, with non-management directors, or with Precipio’s management, or may take other action or no action as the director determines in good faith is necessary, using reasonable judgment, and applying his or her own discretion. Items that are unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board of Directors may be excluded, such as:

• | junk mail and mass mailings;

• | resumes and other forms of job inquiries;

• | surveys; and

• | solicitations and advertisements.

In addition, any material that is unduly hostile, threatening, or illegal in nature may be excluded, provided that any communication that is filtered out will be made available to any independent director upon request.
The audit committee oversees the procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by Precipio regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or audit matters, and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees and third parties of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters. We have also established a toll-free telephone number for the reporting of such activity, which is 1-844-703-8157.
Director Independence
Our Company is governed by our Board. Currently, each member of our Board, other than Ilan Danieli, our Chief Executive Officer, is an independent director and all standing committees of our Board are composed entirely of independent directors, in each case under Nasdaq’s independence definition applicable to boards of directors. For a director to be considered independent, our Board must determine that the director has no relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Members of the Audit Committee also must satisfy a separate SEC independence requirement, which provides that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from us or any of our subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation. In addition, under SEC rules, an Audit Committee
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

member who is an affiliate of the issuer (other than through service as a director) cannot be deemed to be independent. In determining the independence of members of the Compensation Committee, Nasdaq listing standards require our Board to consider certain factors, including but not limited to: (1) the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by us to the director, and (2) whether the director is affiliated with us, one of our subsidiaries or an affiliate of one of our subsidiaries. Under our Compensation Committee Charter, members of the Compensation Committee also must qualify as “outside directors” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and as “non-employee directors” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The independent members of the Board are Ms. LaPorte, Dr. Cossman, M.D., Dr. Fisher, M.D., Mr. Andrews,Mr. Sandberg and Mr. Cohen.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among the officers and directors, nor are there any arrangements or understanding between any of the Directors or Officers of our Company or any other person pursuant to which any Officer or Director was or is to be selected as an officer or director.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has been:

• | the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

• | convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

• | subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or any Federal or State authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;

• | found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law;

• | the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of (a) any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; (b) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (c) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

• | the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(26))), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1(a)(29))), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC require our directors, certain officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our outstanding common stock to file reports of their ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the SEC. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and upon written representations of the Reporting Persons received by us, we believe that, except for the late filings set out herewith, there has been compliance with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such Reporting Persons with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021:
Mr. Cohen filed late two Form 4s in respect of the sale of a total of 110,140 shares of the Company. On May 27, 2021, Mr. Cohen sold 40,178 shares of the Company and on June 10, 2021 Mr. Cohen sold 69,962 shares of the Company. Both sales were completed through a brokerage account. The sales were made pursuant to Rule 144. Upon review of the filings conducted by the Company’s in-house compliance team, we noted that Mr. Cohen did not file Form 4s in respect of the aforementioned sales. On review of the matter it was evident that the brokerage firm failed to file these forms on Mr. Cohen’s behalf. Immediately upon finding out the status, Mr. Cohen filed the Form 4s on August 3, 2021 to reflect the sales.
Mr. Danieli filed a late Form 4, on December 10, 2021, eight days subsequent to the date required to file the Form 4 to report an acquisition of stock pursuant to 10b5-1 plan which was acquired on behalf of Mr. Danieli’s account by the brokerage firm entrusted to carry out the purchases made on December 1, 2021. The late reporting was due to failure by the brokerage firm to inform Mr. Danieli of the acquisition.
Culture and Human Capital Management
Recruiting, developing and engaging our workforce is critical to executing our strategy and achieving business success. The board oversees and is regularly updated on the company’s leadership development and talent management strategies designed to recruit, develop and retain business leaders who can drive the Company’s growth objectives and build long-term stockholder value. Our board is continuously focused on culture and human capital management priorities for promoting a safe, inclusive and respectful work environment, where employees across our entire workforce feel empowered to speak on issues important to them, inspired to act ethically and with integrity and raise concerns and encouraged to implement new and innovative ideas in the best interests of the business.
The board is keenly interested in ensuring that the Company maintains and promotes a culture that fosters the values, behaviors and attributes necessary to advance the Company’s business strategy and purpose. To foster employee engagement and commitment, we follow a robust process to listen to employees, take action and measure our progress with on-going employee conversations, transparent communications and employee engagement surveys. The Board receives regular updates on matters of employee culture and engagement.
Related Person Transactions
There have been no transactions since January 1, 2020 to which we have been a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our capital stock, or any members of their immediate family, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements which are described under “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation,” and other than the transactions described below.
As disclosed in the Company’s Form 8-K filed on April 23, 2018 and amended on April 26, 2018, on April 20, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “2018 Note Agreement”) with certain investors (the “April 2018 Investors”), pursuant to which the Company would issue up to approximately (i) $3,296,703 in Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes with an interest rate of 8% per annum and an original issue discount of 9% (the “ Bridge Notes”) and (ii) warrants in an amount equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Bridge Notes based on the conversion price at the time of issuance (the “Convertible Debt Transaction”). Some of the warrants were issued with a one-year term and some with a five-year term.
As previously disclosed in our 2021 Proxy Statement filed on Form DEF 14A with the SEC on April 29, 2021, since April 2018, we amended the terms of the Bridge Notes and warrants issued in connection therewith. In connection with this transaction, a member of our board of directors, Mr. David S. Cohen was issued an aggregate of $439,560 in principal of the Bridge Notes and issued warrants to purchase 74,539 shares of our common stock. The Bridge Notes issued to Mr. Cohen have been converted into 744,840 shares of common stock. See “SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT” for more information related to Mr. Cohen’s ownership of our securities.

Overview
Our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate, incentivize and retain our executive officers, who contribute to our long-term success. Pay that is competitive, rewards performance and effectively aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our long-term stockholders is key to our compensation program design and decisions.

(1) | The amounts in this column represent discretionary annual cash bonuses that each of our named executive officers earned in each respective fiscal year and paid the next fiscal year.

(2) | The amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock option awards granted during the respective fiscal year as computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures.

Narrative to 2021 Summary Compensation Table
Base Salary
We use base salaries to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. Base salaries are reviewed annually, typically in connection with our annual performance review process, which are adjusted from time to time to realign salaries with market levels after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. None of our 2021 named executive officers is currently party to an employment agreement or other agreement or arrangement that provides for automatic or scheduled increases in base salary. During fiscal 2021, the annual base salaries for Messrs. Danieli, Iberger, and Mohamed were $300,000, $250,000, and $175,000, respectively. During fiscal 2021 and effective February 1, 2021, Mr. Sabet’s annual base salary was increased by $25,000 to a new annual base salary of $175,000.
Cash Incentive Compensation/Bonuses
During fiscal 2021, Messrs. Danieli, Iberger, Sabet, and Mohamed earned bonuses in the amounts as set forth in the “Summary Compensation Table” above.
Equity Compensation
Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to the grant of equity incentive awards to our executive officers, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, we believe that equity grants with a time-based vesting feature promote executive retention because this feature incentivizes our executive officers to remain in our employment during the vesting period. Accordingly, our board of directors periodically reviews the equity incentive compensation of our named executive officers and may grant equity incentive awards to them from time to time. None of our executive officers is currently party to an employment agreement that provides for an automatic grant of long-term equity incentives. During fiscal 2021, we granted stock options to each of our named executive officers, as described in more detail in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2021 Year End” table below.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

401(k) Savings Plan
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Under the 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation, within the limits prescribed by the Code, on a pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) basis, through contributions to the 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those pre-tax contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan, and earnings on Roth contributions are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) plan. The 401(k) plan authorizes employer discretionary match contributions. Currently we do not match contributions that eligible participants make to the 401(k) plan.
Health and Welfare Benefits
Our named executive officers, like all full-time employees, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare benefit plans. In addition, the Company pays the entire monthly premium for such health and welfare benefits for our named executive officers and their dependents, as described in more detail in the “Summary Executive Compensation” table above.
Perquisites and Personal Benefits
We generally do not provide perquisites to our executives.

The amounts shown may not correspond to the actual value that may be recognized. The fair value calculation of options granted during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 used the following assumptions: risk free interest rates of 0.50% to 0.90% based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant; expected life of six years; and volatility of 163% to 167% based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a time that is consistent with the expected life of the option. Our named executive officers will only realize compensation to the extent the trading price of our common stock is greater than the exercise price of such stock options on the date the options are exercised.

(3) | The award vests over a four year period. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the options vest on the first anniversary of the grant and thereafter the reminder shall vest by 36 equal monthly installments and so long as the executive officer remains an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary on such dates.

(4) | Mr. Iberger retired as Chief Financial Officer effective March 21, 2022. Also effective March 21, 2022, in connection with his retirement and per the terms of his stock option agreements, all of Mr. Iberger’s unvested stock options became fully vested.

Compensation Risk Analysis
We have reviewed our material compensation policies and practices for all employees and have concluded that these policies and practices are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. While risk-taking is a necessary part of growing a business, our compensation philosophy is focused on aligning compensation with the long-term interests of our stockholders as opposed to rewarding short-term management decisions that could pose long-term risks.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
It is our Board’s general policy that compensation for independent directors should be a mix of cash and equity-based compensation. As part of a director’s total compensation, and to create a direct linkage between corporate performance and stockholder interests, our Board believes that a meaningful portion of a director’s compensation should be provided in, or otherwise based on, the value of appreciation in our common stock.
Our Board has the authority to approve all compensation payable to our directors, although our Compensation Committee is responsible for making recommendations to our Board regarding this compensation. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer may also make recommendations or assist our Compensation Committee in making recommendations regarding director compensation. Our Board and Compensation Committee annually review our director compensation.
Cash Compensation
Directors who are also our employees are not separately compensated for serving on the Board other than reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and committee meetings. Independent directors are paid an annual retainer of $35,000 and receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board and committee meetings. Independent directors serving as Chairman of the Board receive an additional annual retainer of $23,500. Independent directors serving as members on the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receive an additional annual retainer of $7,500, $5,000 and $4,000, respectively. The chairperson of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee receives an additional annual retainer of $15,000, $10,000 and $7,000, respectively.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the directors were granted non-qualified options to purchase shares of our common stock.

Our Audit Committee has appointed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Board recommends that stockholders vote for the ratification of such appointment. In the event of a negative vote on such ratification, the Board and Audit Committee will reconsider the selection, though a change will not necessarily be made. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our stockholders’ best interests.

On July 9, 2017 the Audit Committee, acting on behalf of the Board, appointed Marcum as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
We expect a representative of Marcum to be present in person or by telephone at the Annual Meeting and available to respond to appropriate questions. Marcum will also have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.
The following table shows information about fees that were billed or were expected to be billed by Marcum for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021:

Assessment
The Audit Committee assessed Marcum’s performance as independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Committee assessed the performance of Marcum’s lead audit engagement partner and the audit team. The Committee reviewed a variety of indicators of audit quality including:

• | The quality and candor of Marcum’s communications with the Audit Committee and management;

• | How effectively Marcum maintained its independence and employed its independent judgment, objectivity, and professional approach ;

• | The depth and expertise of the Marcum’s audit team; and

• | Marcum’s tenure as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and safeguards in place to maintain its independence.

As a result of its evaluation, the Audit Committee concluded that the selection of Marcum as the independent registered public accounting firm our fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast for this proposal is required to ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent public accountant. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as a negative vote. Brokerage firms have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name on this proposal. If a broker does not exercise this authority, such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote. We are not required to obtain the approval of our stockholders to appoint the Company’s independent accountant. However, if our stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Marcum as the Company’s independent public accountant for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee may reconsider its appointment.
