PROXY STATEMENT

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ENDRA Life Sciences Inc. (the “Company,” “ENDRA,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is providing these materials to you in connection with ENDRA’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2019 Annual Meeting”). The 2019 Annual Meeting will take place on Thursday, May 16, 2019, 10:00 a.m., local time, in the auditorium located at 3600 Green Court, Ann Arbor, Michigan. This proxy statement and the accompanying notice and form of proxy are being made available to stockholders on or about April 15, 2019.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Why am I receiving these materials?

You have received these proxy materials because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at the 2019 Annual Meeting. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

What is a proxy?

The Board is asking for your proxy. This means that you authorize persons selected by us to vote your shares at the 2019 Annual Meeting in the way that you instruct. We have designated two of our executive officers to serve as proxy holders for the 2019 Annual Meeting. All shares represented by valid proxies received before the 2019 Annual Meeting will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s specific voting instructions.

What is included in these materials?

These materials include:

• this proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting;

• a proxy card for the 2019 Annual Meeting; and

• our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

What items will be voted on at the 2019 Annual Meeting?

There are two proposals scheduled to be voted on at the 2019 Annual Meeting:

• the election of the nominees to the Board nominated by our Board of Directors; and

• the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of RBSM LLP (“RBSM”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019.

1

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be brought before the meeting. If other matters are properly raised at the meeting, the proxy holders may vote any shares represented by proxy in their discretion.

What are the Board’s voting recommendations?

The Board recommends that you vote your shares:

• FOR the nominees to the Board; and

• FOR the ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

Who can attend the 2019 Annual Meeting?

Admission to the 2019 Annual Meeting is limited to:

• stockholders as of the close of business on April 3, 2019 (the “record date”);

• holders of valid proxies for the 2019 Annual Meeting; and

• our invited guests.

Each stockholder may be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, and proof of stock ownership as of the record date.

When is the record date and who is entitled to vote?

The Board set April 3, 2019 as the record date. All record holders of ENDRA common stock as of the close of business on that date are entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. ENDRA’s warrants do not have voting rights. As of the record date, there were outstanding 7,422,642 shares of common stock entitled to 7,422,642 votes at the 2019 Annual Meeting.

What is a stockholder of record?

A stockholder of record or registered stockholder is a stockholder whose ownership of ENDRA stock is reflected directly on the books and records of our transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc. If you hold stock through an account with a bank, broker or similar organization, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and are not a stockholder of record. For shares held in street name, the stockholder of record is your bank, broker or similar organization. We only have access to stock ownership information for registered stockholders. If you are not a stockholder of record, we will require additional documentation to evidence your stock ownership as of the record date, such as a copy of your brokerage account statement, a letter from your broker, bank or other nominee or a copy of your notice or voting instruction card. As described below, if you are not a stockholder of record, you will not be able to vote your shares unless you have a proxy from the stockholder of record authorizing you to vote your shares.

How do I vote?

You may vote by any of the following methods:

• In person. Stockholders of record and beneficial stockholders with shares held in street name may vote in person at the 2019 Annual Meeting. If you hold shares in street name, you must also obtain a proxy from the stockholder of record authorizing you to vote your shares.

• By mail. Stockholders of record may vote by signing and returning the proxy card provided.

• By phone or via the Internet. You may vote by proxy, by phone or via the Internet by following the instructions provided in the accompanying proxy card or the voting instruction card provided.

• Beneficial owners of shares held in “street name.” You may vote by following the voting instructions provided to you by your bank or broker.

2

How can I change or revoke my vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may change or revoke your proxy any time before it is voted at the 2019 Annual Meeting by:

• timely delivering a properly executed, later-dated proxy;

• delivering a written revocation of your proxy to our Secretary at our principal executive offices; or

• voting in person at the meeting.

If you hold your shares beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or nominee following the instructions they provide.

What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Stockholders of record. If you are a stockholder of record and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion for any other matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.

Beneficial owners of shares held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, the organization that holds your shares will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Which ballot measures are considered “routine” or “non-routine”?

The election of directors (“Proposal 1”) is considered to be a non-routine matter under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee cannot vote without instructions on non-routine matters, and therefore there may be broker non-votes on Proposal 1.

The ratification of the appointment of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019 (“Proposal 2”) is considered to be a routine matter under applicable rules. A broker or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters, and we do not expect there to be any broker non-votes with respect to Proposal 2.

What is the quorum for the 2019 Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of not less than one-third in voting power of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting is necessary for the transaction of business at the 2019 Annual Meeting. This is called a quorum.

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

The following are the voting requirements for each proposal:

• Proposal 1: Election of Directors. The five nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as directors.

• Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The Audit Committee’s appointment of RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019 will be ratified if a majority of the voting power of the voting stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote votes in favor of the proposal.

How are abstentions and broker non-votes treated?

Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the 2019 Annual Meeting. However, broker non-votes are not counted as votes present for any non-routine proposal considered

3

at the 2019 Annual Meeting and, therefore, will have no effect on the proposal regarding the election of directors. We expect no broker non-votes on the routine proposal to appoint RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

Abstentions will be counted as votes present and entitled to vote on the proposals considered at the 2019 Annual Meeting and, therefore, will be counted as votes against the proposal to appoint RBSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019. Abstentions will have no effect on the proposal regarding the election of directors.

Who pays for solicitation of proxies?

ENDRA is paying the cost of soliciting proxies and will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for sending proxy materials to stockholders and obtaining their votes. In addition to soliciting the proxies by mail, certain of our directors, officers and regular employees, without compensation, may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, facsimile and email.

Where can I find the voting results of the 2019 Annual Meeting?

We will announce voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days following the meeting.

How can I submit a proposal for the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders?

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to Be Considered for Inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Materials. Stockholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by December 16, 2019. In addition, all proposals will need to comply with Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which lists the requirements for the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Stockholder proposals must be delivered to the Company’s Secretary at 3600 Green Court, Suite 350, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105.

Requirements for Stockholder Proposals to Be Brought Before the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Notice of any director nomination or other proposal that you intend to present at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, but do not intend to have included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, must be delivered to the Company’s Secretary at 3600 Green Court, Suite 350, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105 not earlier than the close of business on January 16, 2020 and not later than the close of business on February 15, 2020.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of Mr. DiGiandomenico, Dr. Gambhir, Mr. Harsh and Mr. Tokman is an independent director within the meaning of the director independence standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Furthermore, the Board has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of NASDAQ and the rules of the SEC applicable to each such committee.

Board Leadership Structure

We have a Chairman of the Board who presides at all meetings of the Board. Currently, Mr. Michelon serves as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. ENDRA has no fixed policy with respect to the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Our bylaws permit these positions to be held by the same person, and the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company to retain flexibility in determining whether to separate or combine the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer based on our circumstances. The Board has determined that it is appropriate for Mr. Michelon to serve as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer because combining the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer: (1) enhances the alignment between the Board and management in strategic planning and execution as well as operational matters, (2) avoids the confusion over roles, responsibilities and authority that can result from separating the positions, and (3) streamlines board process in order to conserve time for the consideration of the important matters the Board needs to address. Further, four of our five current Board members have been deemed to be independent by our Board; therefore, we believe our Board structure provides sufficient independent oversight of our management. The Board has not named a lead independent director.

Communications with the Board of Directors

Security holders who wish to communicate directly with the Board, the independent directors of the Board or any individual member of the Board may do so by sending such communication by certified mail addressed to the Chairman of the Board, the entire Board of Directors, to the independent directors as a group or to the individual director or directors, in each case, c/o Secretary, ENDRA Life Sciences Inc., 3600 Green Court, Suite 350, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105. The Secretary reviews any such security holder communication and forwards relevant communications to the addressee.

Policies Regarding Director Nomination s

The Board has delegated to its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee responsibility for establishing membership criteria for the Board, identifying individuals qualified to become directors consistent with such criteria and recommending the director nominees.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for, among other things: (1) recommending to the Board persons to serve as members of the Board and as members of and chairpersons for the committees of the Board, (2) considering the recommendation of candidates to serve as directors submitted from the stockholders of the Company, (3) assisting the Board in evaluating the Board’s and its committees’ performance, (4) advising the Board regarding the appropriate board leadership structure for the Company, (5) reviewing and making recommendations to the Board on corporate governance and (6) reviewing the size and composition of the Board and recommending to the Board any changes it deems advisable.

The Board seeks members from diverse professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of relevant industry and strategic experience and expertise that, in concert, offer us and our stockholders diversity of opinion and insight in the areas most important to us and our corporate mission. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has not set specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by director candidates. Rather, in determining candidates to recommend to the Board to serve as members of the Board, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider, among other things, whether a candidate is of the highest ethical character and shares the Company’s values and whether the candidate’s reputation, both personal and professional, in consistent with the image and reputation of the Company. In addition, nominees for director are selected to have complementary, rather than overlapping, skill sets. However, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy concerning the diversity of the Board.

10

Procedures for Recommendation of Director Nominees by Stockholder s

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers individuals properly recommended by stockholders in the same manner as it considers director nominees identified by other means. To submit a recommendation to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee for director nominee candidates, a stockholder must make such recommendation in writing and include:

• as to the stockholder making the recommendation and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made:

• the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Company’s books, and of such beneficial owner;

• the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner;

• a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to the nomination or proposal between or among such stockholder and/or such beneficial owner, any of their respective affiliates or associates, and any others acting in concert with any of the foregoing, including, in the case of a nomination, the nominee;

• description of all arrangements or understandings among the stockholder and the candidate and any other person or persons pursuant to which the recommendation is being made;

• a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such business or nomination;

• a representation whether the stockholder or the beneficial owner, if any, intends or is part of a group which intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or elect the nominee and/or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies or votes from stockholders in support of such proposal or nomination; and

• any other information relating to such stockholder and beneficial owner, if any, required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for, as applicable, the proposal and/or for the election of directors in an election contest pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and

• as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

• full biographical information concerning the director candidate, including a statement about the candidate’s qualifications;

• all other information regarding each director candidate proposed by such stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC;

• a description of all relationships between the candidate and any of the Company’s competitors, customers, suppliers, labor unions or other persons with special interests regarding the Company; and

• such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected.

Recommendations must be sent to the Chairperson of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, c/o Secretary, ENDRA Life Sciences Inc., 3600 Green Court, Suite 350, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105. The Secretary must receive any such recommendation for nomination not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that with respect to a special meeting of stockholders called by us for the purpose of electing directors to the Board of Directors, the Secretary must receive any such recommendation not earlier than the

11

120th day prior to such special meeting nor later than the later of (1) the close of business on the 90th day prior to such special meeting or (2) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which a public announcement is first made regarding such special meeting. We will promptly forward any such nominations to the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Once the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee receives a recommendation for a director candidate, such candidate will be evaluated in the same manner as other candidates and a recommendation with respect to such candidate will be delivered to the Board of Directors.

Policy Governing Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Each director is encouraged to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting of stockholders either in person or telephonically. All of our directors attended last year’s annual meeting either in-person or telephonically.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have in place a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. The Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

• honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

• full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications that we make;

• compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

• the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person identified in the Code of Ethics; and

• accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

A current copy of the Code of Ethics is available at www.endrainc.com. A copy may also be obtained, free of charge, from us upon a request directed to ENDRA Life Sciences, Inc., 3600 Green Court, Suite 350, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105, attention: Investor Relations.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee is comprised of Anthony DiGiandomenico, Michael Harsh and Alexander Tokman. None of the current or former members of the Audit Committee is an officer or employee of the Company, and the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements promulgated by The NASDAQ Stock Market and the SEC, including Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls and the certification of the integrity and reliability of the Company’s internal controls procedures. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and has discussed them with both management and RBSM LLP (“RBSM”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee has reviewed permitted services under rules of the SEC as currently in effect and discussed with RBSM its independence from management and the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has also considered and discussed the compatibility of non-audit services provided by RBSM with that firm’s independence.

Based on its review of the financial statements and the aforementioned discussions, the Audit Committee concluded that it would be reasonable to recommend, and on that basis did recommend, to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report.

Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee.

COMPENSATION AND OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

Our compensation philosophy is to offer our executive officers compensation and benefits that are competitive and meet our goals of attracting, retaining and motivating highly skilled management, which is necessary to achieve our financial and strategic objectives and create long-term value for our stockholders. We believe the levels of compensation we provide should be competitive, reasonable and appropriate for our business needs and circumstances. The principal elements of our executive compensation program have to date included base salary and long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options. We believe successful long-term Company performance is more critical to enhancing stockholder value than short-term results. For this reason and to conserve cash and better align the interests of management and our stockholders, we emphasize long-term performance-based equity compensation over base annual salaries.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation earned by the individual that served as our Principal Executive Officer during 2018 and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than the individual who served as our Principal Executive Officer during 2018 (collectively, the “named executive officers”):

If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of RBSM as the independent registered public accounting firm for 2019, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the selection 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Policy for Review of Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted a written policy with regard to related person transactions, which sets forth our procedures and standards for the review, approval or ratification of any transaction required to be reported in our filings with the SEC or in which one of our executive officers or directors has a direct or indirect material financial interest, with limited exceptions. Our policy is that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall review the material facts of all related person transactions (as defined in the related person transaction approval policy) and either approve or disapprove of the entry into any related person transaction. In the event that obtaining the advance approval of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is not feasible, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee shall consider the related person transaction and, if the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee determines it to be appropriate, may ratify the related person transaction. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the related person transaction is on terms comparable to those available from an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction.

Related Person Transactions

SEC regulations define the related person transactions that require disclosure to include any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years in which we were or are to be a participant and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. A related person is: (i) an executive officer, director or director nominee of the Company, (ii) a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, (iii) an immediate family member of an executive officer, director or director nominee or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, or (iv) any entity that is owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons or in which any of the foregoing persons has a substantial ownership interest or control.

For the period from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018, described below are certain transactions or series of transactions between us and certain related persons.

On January 28, 2016, we issued convertible promissory notes to Sanjiv Gambhir (the “Gambhir Note”), Michael Harsh (the “Harsh Note”) and Alexander Tokman (the “Tokman Note”), each a member of our board of directors. The Gambhir Note and the Tokman Note are each in the principal sum of $20,000 and the Harsh Note is in the principal sum of $10,000. None of the notes accrue interest and all three are payable upon the earlier of (1) completion by the Company of an equity financing of $4.0 million or more and (2) the one-year anniversary of the issuance date. All outstanding amounts due under the Harsh Note, Tokman Note and Gambhir Note were paid in full on May 15, 2017.

From April 2016 through March 2017, we issued convertible promissory notes to the following related persons: (i) Francois Michelon, our Chief Executive Officer, in the principal sum of $35,000, (ii) Michael Thornton, our Chief Technology Officer, in the principal sum of $52,000, (iii) Anthony DiGiandomenico, a director of the Company, in the principal sum of $25,000, (iv) a trust beneficially owned by Robert C.

Padnos and Margaret M. Padnos (including trusts which they beneficially own), joint beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock at the time of the transaction, in the principal sums of $25,000 and $96,811, (x) Jonathan Padnos, an immediate family member of a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock at the time of the transaction, in the principal sums of $17,258 and $25,000, (xi) Sivan Padnos Caspi, an immediate family member of a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock at the time of the transaction, in the principal sum of $7,258, (xii) Michael Thornton, our Chief Technology Officer, in the principal sum of $20,000, and (xiii) Conal Thornton, the father of Michael Thornton, our Chief Technology Officer, in the principal sum of $20,000. Each such note accrued

interest at the rate of 8% per annum and was secured by all assets of the Company. Upon the election of noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the convertible promissory notes, all outstanding convertible promissory notes were convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, in each case at a conversion price of $1.40 per share. Pursuant to such terms, the noteholders elected to convert all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the convertible promissory notes into an aggregate of 1,232,859 shares of common stock of the Company on May 12, 2017, immediately prior to the completion of our initial public offering.

On June 28, 2018, we conducted a private placement offering in which we sold $1,077,000 aggregate amount of senior secured convertible promissory notes, along with warrants excercisable for 267,113 shares of our common stock. Each promissory note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum until maturity or conversion. Investors in the offering included (i) Mr. DiGiandomenico, a director of the Company, for $100,000, (ii) Mr. Michelon, a director and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, for $10,000, (iii) Mr. Thornton, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer, for $50,000, and (iv) Mr. Wells, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, for $10,000. Upon the completion of our November 2018 stock offering, the $1,027,000 aggregate principal amount of promissory notes then outstanding automatically converted at a price of $1.68 per share into an aggregate of 611,310 shares of common stock, of which 59,524 shares were issued to Mr. DiGiandomenico, 5,953 shares were issued to Mr. Michelon, 29,762 shares were issued to Mr. Thornton and 5,953 shares were issued to Mr. Wells.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all such filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of the reports that we received and written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements on a timely basis during 2018.
