of such shares is required to provide instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee in order for them to be entitled to vote

if Proposal 4 is approved, based on the conversion of all Series A Preferred Stock held by Global BioMedical, , subject to the
Ownership Limitation Increase, up to ________ shares of the Common Stock would be issuable. Based on the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, such shares would represent ___% of our total outstanding shares (giving effect to such
issuance). The sale into the public market of these newly-issued shares of Common Stock could adversely affect the market price
of our Common Stock. The issuance of such shares may result in significant dilution to our stockholders and afford them a smaller
percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of the Company. This means that our current
stockholders will own a smaller interest in our Company and will have less ability to influence significant corporate decisions
requiring stockholder approval.</FONT></P>

any shares of our Common Stock upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock if such shares proposed to be issued and sold, when
aggregated with all other shares of our Common Stock then owned beneficially by Global BioMedical and its affiliates, would result
in the beneficial ownership by Global BioMedical and its affiliates in excess of the Ownership Limitation. If approved, the Ownership
Limitation Increase would limit the number of shares Global BioMedical may beneficially own at any one time to 50.99% of our outstanding
Common Stock. Consequently, the number of shares Global BioMedical may beneficially own in compliance with the Ownership Limitation
Increase may increase over time as the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock increases over time. Global BioMedical
may be in a position to exert influence over the Company and there is no guarantee that the interests of Global BioMedical will

Board has unanimously approved and recommends to our stockholders this proposal to change the Company&rsquo;s state of incorporation
from New York to Texas (the &ldquo;Reincorporation&rdquo;), subject to stockholder approval. The Reincorporation would be effected
pursuant to a merger (the &ldquo;Merge&rdquo; with Alset, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Texas
(&ldquo;Alset&rdquo;). The Company will enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &ldquo;Merger Agreement&rdquo;)in the
form attached to this proxy statement under Exhibit [_], whereby the Company will merge with and into Alset.. In addition, following
the Reincorporation, the Company will no longer be a New York corporation governed by the Company&rsquo;s current Certificate
of Incorporation (the &ldquo;New York Charter&rdquo;) and its current By-laws (the &ldquo;New York By-laws&rdquo; and, together
with the New York Charter, the &ldquo;New York Governing Documents&rdquo;) and will instead` be a Texas corporation governed by
the proposed Texas Certificate of Formation (the &ldquo;Texas Charter&rdquo;) and the proposed Texas By-laws (the &ldquo;Texas
By-laws&rdquo; and, together with the Texas Charter, the &ldquo;Texas Governing Documents&rdquo;), each in the form attached to
this proxy statement under Exhibits [] and [], respectively. Our Board has determined that the terms of the Merger Agreement,
the Merger, the Texas Charter and the Texas By-laws are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and our stockholders.</FONT></P>

connection with the Reincorporation, our Board has determined that it is advisable and in the Company&rsquo;s best interest to
change the Company&rsquo;s name from &ldquo;Document Security Systems, Inc.&rdquo; to &ldquo;Alset, Inc.&rdquo; to better align
it with the Company&rsquo;s principal business operations (the &ldquo;Name Change&rdquo;). The Board believes the proposed new
name recognizes the expanded scope of our business and operation, however, the name of &ldquo;Alset&rdquo; is currently not available
in the State of New York. The management of the Company discovered that the intended new name is available in the State of Texas
and therefore suggested to the Board to re-incorporate in the Company in the State of Texas to be able to use the name of &ldquo;Alset.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

Company believes that the Texas legislature has demonstrated a willingness to maintain modern and effective corporation laws to
meet changing business needs. While some regard NYBCL as an extensive and well-defined body of corporate law in the United States,
the Company does not believe there is a significant risk to the Company or its stockholders if the Company is governed under TBOC
rather than NYBCL. While there are some advantages under NYBCL to being a New York corporation, there are also advantages under
TBOC law to being a Texas corporation.</FONT></P>

the nature of our anticipated operations. The Name Change is contingent and conditioned on stockholder approval of this Proposal,
and, if the stockholders approve this Proposal 5, the Name Change will be effected through the filing of the Texas Charter.</FONT></P>

a technical relisting of our Common Stock on the NYSE American following the Reincorporation, our Common Stock will continue to
be traded on the NYSE American symbol and is expected to trade under the symbol &ldquo;___&rdquo; subject to approval by the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). To the extent the Reincorporation will require the consent or waiver of a third party (for
example, the consent of the Company&rsquo;s primary lender), the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such
consent or waiver before completing the Reincorporation. If a material consent cannot be obtained, the Company may determine not
to proceed with the Reincorporation.</FONT></P>

September 23, 2019, the Company entered in an executive employment agreement with Mr. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan, a director of the
Company, Chief Executive Officer of the Company&rsquo;s wholly-owned subsidiary DSS International Inc. and Chief Executive Officer
of DSS Asia, a wholly-owned subsidiary of DSS International Inc. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Chan shall receive an annual base
salary of $250,000, payable quarterly in either cash or common stock, subject to availability of shares under a stockholder-approved

last ten trading days of that quarter. Mr. Chan is also eligible to receive an annual performance bonus, in an amount up to 100%
of his base salary, upon the Company&rsquo;s achievement of certain net income and gross revenue milestones. Mr. Chan has the
option to have the bonus paid in Company common stock. In the event of a change in control of the Company or the termination of
Mr. Chan&rsquo;s employment without cause, Mr. Chan shall receive four-months&rsquo; salary, payable monthly. In connection with

the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are held by two different individuals. Heng Fai Ambrose Chan
currently serves as Chairman of the Board and Frank D. Hueszel currently serves as Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial
Officer of the Company and as a member of the Board. Although no formal policy currently exists, the Board determined that the
separation of these positions would allow our Chief Executive Officer to devote his time to the daily execution of the Company&rsquo;s
business strategies and the Board Chairman to devote his time to the long-term strategic direction of the Company. Our senior
management manages the risks facing the Company under the oversight and supervision of the Board. While the full Board is ultimately
responsible for risk oversight at our Company, two of our Board committees assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight function
in certain areas of risk. The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk
in the areas of financial reporting and internal controls. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board
in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk in the area of corporate governance. Other general business
risks such as economic and regulatory risks are monitored by the full Board. While the Board oversees the Company&rsquo;s risk
management, management is responsible for day-to-day oversight of risk management processes.</FONT></P>

and non-solicitation restrictive covenants contained in the Agreement, which are identical to the restrictive covenants contained
in Mr. Bzdick&rsquo;s previous employment agreement, which are now incorporated by reference into the Agreement. In addition,
the Company agreed to continue to pay the cost of Mr. Bzdick&rsquo;s health, dental and vision insurance coverage for a period
of 19 months or until he is eligible for such benefits from another employer, whichever is shorter. In the Agreement, Mr. Bzdick
specifically acknowledges that, among other remedies, the Company is entitled to cease all payments under the Agreement and recoup
all payments previously made in the event Mr. Bzdick revokes, violates or breaches the Agreement, or discontinues any promised
act under the Agreement. Moreover, the Agreement further provides that in the event Mr. Bzdick breaches the Agreement by bringing
suit or filing a claim with an administrative agency, then he must, as a condition precedent, repay to the Company in cash all
consideration received pursuant to the Agreement. The Agreement also contains standard mutual release and damages clauses, and
a clause that provides that in any action for breach of the Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorneys&rsquo;
