The Company’s Board of Directors believes that a favorable vote for each nominee for a position on the Board of Directors and for all other matters described in the attached Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders and recommends a vote “FOR” all nominees, and “FOR” all other proposals.

PROXYSTATEMENT

 

2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Onfolio Holdings Inc. of proxies to be voted at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) that will be on Thursday, August 7, 2025 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time via live webcast at www.cesonlineservices.com/onfo25_vm and at any adjournments thereof. In this Proxy Statement, Onfolio Holdings Inc. is referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” or “Onfolio” unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

We are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the internet. On or about June 24, 2025, we mailed to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Availability Notice”) containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”). The Internet Availability Notice also provides information on how to access your voting instructions to be able to vote through the internet. Other stockholders, in accordance with their prior requests, have received e-mail notification of how to access our proxy materials and vote via the internet, or have been mailed paper copies of our proxy materials and a proxy card or voting instruction form. Internet distribution of our proxy materials helps to expedite receipt by our stockholders, lowers the cost of the Annual Meeting and conserves natural resources. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Internet Availability Notice. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive these materials via e-mail unless you elect otherwise.

 

The Annual Meeting has been called to consider and take action on the following proposals:

 

 

1.

To elect the five (5) nominees to our Board of Directors named in the Proxy Statement to hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”);

 

2.

To ratify the appointment of Astra Audit & Advisory, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

 

3.

To transact such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

 

The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the Notice or proxy card or voting instruction form will vote on such other matters and/or for other nominees in accordance with their best judgment. The Company’s Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” all nominees and “FOR” Proposal 2. Only holders of record of common stock of the Company at the close of business on June 10, 2025 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

 

The principal executive offices of our Company are located at 1007 North Orange Street, 4th Floor, Wilmington, Delaware 19801, and our telephone number is 682-990-6920.

 

Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules that allow companies to furnish proxy materials to stockholders over the Internet, we have elected to deliver our proxy materials to the majority of our stockholders over the Internet. This delivery process allows us to provide stockholders with the information they need, while at the same time conserving natural resources and lowering the cost of delivery. On or about June 24, 2025, we will begin sending to our stockholders the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our Proxy Statement for our Annual Meeting and our Annual Report. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides instructions on how to vote online, how to access the virtual Annual Meeting and how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail. The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders is also available at https://ts.vstocktransfer.com/irhlogin/ONFOLIOHOLDINGSINC.

The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement, the proxy card or a voting instruction form and any other accompanying materials are first being sent or given to stockholders is June 24, 2025. A copy of the Company’s Annual Report is enclosed with these materials but should not be considered proxy solicitation material. Additionally, the proxy materials and Annual Report included in this package are also available on the internet under the “Investor Relations - Financial Filings” page of the Company’s website at https://www.onfolio.com.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

 

What is a proxy statement?

 

A proxy statement is a document that we are required by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, to give you when we ask you to provide a proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Among other things, this Proxy Statement describes the proposals on which stockholders will be voting and provides information about us.

 

Why did I receive this Proxy Statement?

 

We are soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. We will use the proxies received in connection with proposals to:

 

 

1.

To elect the five (5) nominees to our Board of Directors named in the Proxy Statement to hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”);

 

2.

To ratify the appointment of Astra Audit & Advisory, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025; and

 

3.

To transact such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

 

Why did I Receive a Internet Availability Notice in the Mail instead of a Full Set of Proxy Materials?

 

We are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent to our stockholders an Internet Availability Notice. 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 Internet Availability Notice. 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 their election.

 

What Does it Mean if I Receive More than One Internet Availability Notice?

 

If you receive more than one Internet Availability Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Internet Availability Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

Will I receive any other proxy materials by mail?

 

No, you will not receive any other proxy materials by mail unless you request, or had previously requested, a paper copy of proxy materials. To request that a full set of the proxy materials be sent to your specified postal address for the Annual Meeting, you may (i) call (toll free) 1-855-987-8625 or (ii) send an email to vote@vstocktransfer.com. Please have your Internet Availability Notice in hand when you access the website or call and follow the instructions provided and, if sending an email, please include the Company’s name and your account number in the subject line.

 

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

 

The Annual Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted exclusively by webcast. You are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of the Company as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other nominee in order to participate in the virtual Annual Meeting. No physical meeting will be held. The Annual Meeting will be a “virtual meeting” of stockholders, which will be conducted exclusively online via live webcast at www.cesonlineservices.com/onfo25_vm. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you must pre-register at www.cesonlineservices.com/onfo25_vm, by 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on Wednesday, August 6, 2025.

You will be able to attend the virtual Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting the website(s) indicated in your Internet Availability Notice, proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. You also will be able to vote your shares online by attending the virtual Annual Meeting. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you may need the control number included on your Internet Availability Notice, proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials or other information as instructed through your broker, bank or other holder of record. Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should contact your broker, bank, or other nominee to obtain your control number or other instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

 

In order to ensure that the virtual Annual Meeting provides stockholders with a meaningful opportunity to participate, stockholders will be able to ask questions of the Board and management both at the time of registration and during the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may submit questions during the Annual Meeting by typing questions in the question/chat section of the meeting screen. Questions relevant to meeting matters will be answered during the Annual Meeting, subject to time constraints and in accordance with the rules of conduct for the Annual Meeting.

 

The virtual online meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check-in. Please follow the registration instructions as outlined in this Proxy Statement.

 

What if I have technical difficulties or trouble accessing the virtual Annual Meeting?

 

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual Annual Meeting website(s). If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual Annual Meeting website(s) during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Annual Meeting login page.

 

Who may attend the Annual Meeting?

 

Only record holders and beneficial owners of our common stock, or their duly authorized proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting.

 

Who is entitled to vote?

 

The Board has fixed the close of business on June 10, 2025 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Only stockholders who owned our common stock on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 5,127,396 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each share of our common stock that you own as of the Record Date entitles you to one vote.

 

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, VStock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”), 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 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. The majority of our stockholders hold their shares in street name.

 

 
6

 

 

What am I voting on?

 

There are two (2) matters scheduled for a vote:

 

 

1.

To elect the five (5) nominees to our Board of Directors named in the Proxy Statement to hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”); and

 

2.

To ratify the appointment of Astra Audit & Advisory, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

 

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

 

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives authority to the designated proxy holders to vote on such matters according to their best judgment.

 

How do I vote?

 

Record Holders:

 

 

1.

Vote by Internet. Follow the ONLINE VOTING instructions on your Internet Availability Notice or VOTE ON INTERNET instructions on your proxy card if you received (or requested and received) a printed copy of the proxy materials.

 

2.

Vote by mail. Follow the VOTE BY MAIL instructions on your proxy card (a postage-paid envelope is provided for mailing in the United States) if you received (or requested and received) a printed copy of the proxy materials.

 

3.

Vote in person. Attend and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting at www.cesonlineservices.com/onfo25_vm.

 

If you vote by Internet, please DO NOT mail your proxy card.

 

Beneficial Owners (Holding Shares in Street Name):

 

If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a vote instruction form from that organization rather than from us. To vote your shares, simply follow the voting instructions in the vote instruction form to ensure that your vote is counted. 

 

When must my votes be received by?

 

All shares entitled to vote and represented by a properly completed and executed proxy received before the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as instructed in a proxy delivered before the Annual Meeting. If you do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your properly completed and executed proxy will be voted as the Board recommends on each of the enumerated proposals, with regard to any other matters that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting and on all matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting. If you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you may need the control number included on your Internet Availability Notice, proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials or other voting instructions from the broker, bank, or other holder of record in order to attend the virtual Annual Meeting and vote your shares. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

 

 
7

 

 

How many votes do I have?

 

Each share of our common stock that you own as of the Record Date entitles you to one vote.

 

Is my vote confidential?

 

Yes, your vote is confidential. Only the inspector of elections, individuals who help with processing and counting your votes and persons who need access for legal reasons will have access to your vote. This information will not be disclosed, except as required by law.

 

What happens if I return my signed proxy card but forget to indicate how I want my shares of common stock voted?

 

If you sign, date and return your proxy and do not mark how you want to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote “FOR” all nominees for director and “FOR” all other proposals.

 

What are “broker non-votes”?

 

Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker, bank, or other nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on “non-routine” proposals. If shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker, bank, or other nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker, bank, or other nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are “routine” under applicable rules but cannot vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” matters. On non-routine proposals, any “uninstructed shares” may not be voted by the broker, bank, or other nominee and are “broker non-votes.” Proposal No. 2 is considered a “routine” matter for this purpose and brokers, banks, or other nominees generally have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposals. Brokers, banks, and other nominees do not have authority to vote on Proposal No. 1 without voting instruction from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes will be counted to determine if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

 

Can I revoke or change my voting instructions before the meeting?

 

For shares that are held in “street name”, the stockholder must follow the directions provided by its bank, broker or other intermediary for revoking or modifying voting instructions. For shares that are registered in the stockholder’s own name, the proxy may be revoked by written notification to the Company Secretary prior to its exercise and providing relevant name and account information, submitting a new proxy card with a later date (which will override the earlier proxy) or if you vote on the Internet, your most current internet proxy is the one that is counted, or voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Your most current proxy card or internet proxy is the one that is counted.

 

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 Proposal 2, votes “FOR,”“AGAINST,” “ABSTAIN,” and broker non-votes.

 

What constitutes a quorum?

 

As of the Record Date, 5,127,396 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. A majority in voting power of the shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the chair of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power, by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power thereof, to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in our bylaws, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

 

 
8

 

 

How many votes are needed for each proposal to pass?

 

Proposal

 

Vote Required

 

Proposal No. 1 - Election of Directors

 

 

 

The election of Directors shall be decided by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A “withhold” vote with respect to any nominee will have no effect on the election of that nominee, and broker non-votes will also have no effect on the election of the nominees. Stockholders are not entitled to cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors.

 

Proposal No. 2 - Ratification of independent registered public accounting firm

 

 

To be approved, Proposal No. 2 must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

 

 

What are the voting procedures?

 

In voting by proxy with regard to the election of directors, you may vote in favor of all nominees, withhold your votes as to all nominees, or vote in favor of specific nominees and withhold your votes as to specific nominees. With regard to Proposal 2, you may vote in favor of the proposal or against the proposal, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal.

 

Who is paying for the expenses involved in preparing and mailing this proxy statement?

 

The Company pays for the cost of soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Company also will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners. Subject to SEC Rule 14a-16, proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, email, other electronic means or in person. Directors, officers and regular, full-time employees of the Company, none of whom will receive any additional compensation for their services, may by telephone, facsimile, email or other electronic means or personally, request the return of proxies.

 

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?

 

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

 

Do the Company’s officers and directors have an interest in any of the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting?

 

Members of the Board have an interest in Proposal No. 1, as all of the nominees are currently members of the Board. Members of the Board and executive officers of the Company do not have any interest in Proposal No. 2.

 

Who are the largest principal stockholders?

 

See “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement for a table setting forth each owner of greater than 5% of the Company’s common stock as of the Record Date.

 

 
9

 

 

What percentages of stock do the directors and officers own?

 

Together, they own approximately 32.4% of our Company common stock as of the Record Date. For information regarding the ownership of our common stock by management, see the section entitled “Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof” elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

 

Do I have dissenters’ rights of appraisal?

 

Under Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to any of the items proposed to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

 

Where can I find general information about the Company?

 

General information about us can be found on our website located at https://www.onfolio.com. The information on our website is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for investment purposes. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and should not be considered part of this Proxy Statement or any other report that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). We make available free of charge, either by direct access on our website or a link to the SEC’s website, our Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. Our reports filed with, or furnished to, the SEC are also available directly at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

What does it mean if I get more than one Internet Availability Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form?

 

If you receive more than one Internet Availability Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Internet Availability Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form and return all proxy cards or voting instruction forms (if required) to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

 

We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we

deliver or mail one Internet Availability Notice or if applicable, Proxy Statement and Annual Report, for all registered stockholders residing at the same address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate Internet Availability Notices, Proxy Statements and Annual Reports, as applicable. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly separate copies of Internet Availability Notices or, if applicable, Proxy Statements and Annual Reports to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of an Internet Availability Notice, Proxy Statement and Annual Report, as applicable, stockholders may contact:

 

Corporate Secretary

Onfolio Holdings Inc.

1007 North Orange Street, 4th Floor

Wilmington, Delaware 19801

Telephone: (682) 990-6920

 

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

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Code of Conduct

 

Our Company has adopted a code of ethics and business conduct applicable to its employees, directors and officers, in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq. A copy of this code of ethics and business conduct is available on our principal corporate website located at https://www.onfolio.com. Requests for a copy of the code of ethics and business conduct should be directed to Investor Relations, Onfolio Inc., 1007 North Orange Street, 4th Floor Wilmington, Delaware 19801.

Director Independence Standards

 

Applicable NASDAQ rules require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors. In addition, the NASDAQ rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Under applicable NASDAQ rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Director Independence

 

During June 2025, our Board of Directors undertook a review of the composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and the independence of each of our directors. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Andrew “A.J.” Lawrence, David McKeegan, Robert J. Lipstein, and Mark Schwartz are “independent directors” as defined under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market Rules and Exchange Act Rules. In making such determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each such non-employee director has/had with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining his/her independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director. The one member of our Board of Directors who is not an “independent director” is Dominic Wells as a result of his executive officer status with our Company.

 

There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer.

When new candidates for our Board of Directors are sought, all of our directors evaluate each candidate for nomination as director within the context of the needs and the composition of the Board of Directors as a whole. The Board of Directors conducts any appropriate and necessary inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of candidates. When evaluating director nominees, our Board of Directors generally seeks to identify individuals with diverse, yet complementary backgrounds. Our directors consider both the personal characteristics and experience of director nominees, including each nominee’s independence, diversity, age, skills, expertise, time availability and industry background in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors and the Company. The Board of Directors believes that director nominees should exhibit proven leadership capabilities and experience at a high level of responsibility within their chosen fields, and have the experience and ability to analyze business issues facing our Company. In addition to business expertise, the Board of Directors requires that director nominees have the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values and, above all, are committed to representing the long-term interests of our stockholders and other stakeholders. Our Policy Guide on Director Qualifications is available on the “Investor Relations-Corporate Governance” page our principal corporate website located at https://www.onfolio.com. To date, all new candidates have been identified and recommended by members of our Board of Directors, including management and non-management directors, our principal executive officer, and other executive officers, and we have not paid any fee to a third party to assist in the process of identifying or evaluating director candidates.

 

Our directors will consider candidates for nomination as director who are recommended by a stockholder and will not evaluate any candidate for nomination for director differently because the candidate was recommended by a stockholder. To date, we have not received or rejected any suggestions for a director candidate recommended by any stockholder or group of stockholders owning more than 5% of our common stock.

 

When submitting candidates for nomination to be elected at our annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders should follow the following notice procedures and comply with applicable provisions of our bylaws. To consider a candidate recommended by a stockholder for nomination at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the recommendation must be delivered or mailed to and received by our Secretary within the time periods discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Stockholder Proposals for 2026 Annual Meeting.” The recommendation must include the information specified in our bylaws for stockholder nominees to be considered at an annual meeting, along with the following:

·

Board Leadership Structure

 

Our bylaws provide the Board of Directors with flexibility to combine or separate the positions of Chair of the Board of Directors and Principal Executive Officer in accordance with its determination that utilizing one or the other structure is in the best interests of our Company.

Mr. Wells serves as our Principal Executive Officer and is responsible for the overall general management of the Company and supervision of Company policies, setting the Company’s strategies, formulating and overseeing the Company’s business plan, raising capital, expanding the Company’s management team and the general promotion of the Company. He also performs certain functions related to our corporate governance, including coordinating certain board activities, setting relevant items on the agenda and ensuring adequate communication between the Board of Directors and management, which he does in conjunction with the other independent directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that presently, this leadership structure is appropriate for the size of our Company. Also, due to the smaller size of our Board of Directors, our Company does not have a lead independent director.

Risk Oversight

 

The Board oversees risk management directly and through its committees associated with their respective subject matter areas. Generally, the Board oversees risks that may affect the business of the Company as a whole, including operational matters. The Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and also discusses with management the Company’s financial statements, internal controls and other accounting and related matters. The Compensation Committee oversees certain risks related to compensation programs and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees certain corporate governance risks. As part of their roles in overseeing risk management, these Committees periodically report to the Board regarding briefings provided by management and advisors as well as the Committees’ own analysis and conclusions regarding certain risks faced by the Company. Management is responsible for implementing the risk management strategy and developing policies, controls, processes and procedures to identify and manage risks. The interaction with management occurs not only at formal board and committee meetings, but also through periodic and other written and oral communications.

Our Company entered into an employment agreement dated February 1, 2022, with Mr. Trainor as its Chief Operations Officer providing for an annual salary of $96,000 per year. On January 1, 2023, Mr. Trainor received an increase to his salary to $109,000 annually, and on October 1, 2024, he received a further increase to his salary to $240,000. On January 1, 2025, our Company entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Trainor as its Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Trainor receives an annual salary of $240,000, which is paid semi-monthly in accordance with our Company’s normal payroll procedures. Mr. Trainor is also eligible to receive certain employee benefits and bonuses under any bonus plan program that may be established by our Board of Directors.

The options have an exercise price of $5.95 per share. In the event that Mr. Trainor leaves the Company’s employment for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement)  or if the Company terminates his employment without Cause (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Trainor will be entitled to receive severance in an amount equal to one day of base salary for every completed work day of employment with the Company, up to a maximum of three (3) months of base salary.

 

Benefits and Other Compensation

 

We maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all of our employees, including reimbursement of private health insurance, tech allowances, and education and professional development plans, that named executive officers participate in. Executives are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, in each case on the same terms as our other employees. No employee benefit plans are in place solely for the benefit of our executives.

 

Change in Control Benefits

 

Pursuant to the terms of our 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, our executives are entitled to certain benefits in the event of a change in control of our Company or the termination of their employment under specified circumstances, including termination following a change in control. We believe these benefits help us compete for and retain executive talent and are generally in line with severance packages offered to executives by the companies in our peer group. We also believe that these benefits would serve to minimize the distraction caused by any change in control scenario and reduce the risk that key talent would leave the Company before any such transaction closes, which could reduce the value of the Company if such transaction failed to close.

 

Termination

 

Our executives’ employment agreements shall automatically terminate upon (i) their death; (ii) their voluntarily leaving the employ of the Company; (iii) at the Company’s sole discretion, for any reason, with or without cause.

Director Compensation

 

Compensation for our directors is discretionary and is reviewed from time to time by our Board of Directors. Any determinations with respect to Board compensation are made by our Board of Directors. During Fiscal year 2024, each of our independent directors who serve on our Board received a quarterly stipend of $5,000 payable in cash. Additionally, the chair of our audit committee receives an additional quarterly stipend of $2,500 payable in cash. All directors are also entitled to reimbursement for travel expenses for attending director meetings.

 

The following table summarizes compensation earned by our Company’s directors for the year ended December 31, 2024. All directors have been and will be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or other activities undertaken by them on behalf of our Company.

Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to Our Risk Management

 

Our compensation program for employees does not create incentives for excessive risk taking by our employees or involve risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Our compensation program has the following risk-limiting characteristics:

 

 

·

Our base pay consists of competitive salary rates that represent a reasonable portion of total compensation and provide a reliable level of income on a regular basis, which decreases incentive on the part of our executives to take unnecessary or imprudent risks;

 

·

Neither option awards nor other bonus awards are tied to formulas that could focus executive or non-executive employees on specific short-term outcomes; and

 

·

Option awards, generally, have multi-year vesting which aligns the long-term interests of our executive and non-executive employees with those of our stockholders and, again, discourages the taking of short-term risk at the expense of long-term performance.

 

Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Policy

 

We have adopted a compensation recovery policy (“clawback policy”) that applies to incentive compensation. The purpose of the clawback policy is to enable the Company to recover erroneously awarded compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement. Under the clawback policy, an accounting restatement means an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, including any required accounting restatement to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. In the clawback policy, erroneously awarded compensation generally means, in the event of an accounting restatement, the amount of incentive-based compensation previously received that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts in the accounting restatement. The clawback policy is annexed to our Annual Report as Exhibit 97.1.

 

Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company identified errors in its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 related to the impairment of intangible assets and goodwill of certain recently acquired businesses. These errors were a result of the Company revising the estimated cash flows used in its determination of the recoverability of the impaired assets as well as the sequencing of impairment testing thereby resulting in an understatement of impairment expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a subsequent overstatement of amortization expense in each of the quarters for the year ended December 31, 2024. The errors noted above did not result in the 2023 financial statements being materially misstated. However, in order to correctly reflect the errors in the appropriate period, management has revised the 2023 previously issued financial statements in our Annual Report. Additional information may be found in Note 1 of our audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report.  The revisions to our 2023 previously issued financial statements that were contained in our Annual Report did not impact on our executive compensation payments and, thus, no recovery was required. This was because no aspect of our executive compensation is or was performance-based and calculated based on financial results provided in our financial statements.

 

Equity Grant Timing

 

The Board and Compensation Committee does not grant equity awards to executives or directors pursuant to any predetermined schedule.  The Board and Compensation Committee considers and approves interim or mid-year grants, from time to time based on business needs. The Board and Compensation Committee takes material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards and will, to the extent feasible, avoid approving grants prior to disclosure of material nonpublic information. Additionally, the Compensation Committee does not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

At the time of the Annual Meeting, our Board of Directors will consist of five (5) directors: Dominic Wells, Andrew Lawrence, David McKeegan, Robert J. Lipstein and Mark N. Schwartz. At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders will elect five directors for a one (1) year term to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until a successor for such director is elected and qualified, or until the death, resignation or removal of such director.

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

We are asking stockholders to ratify the appointment of Astra Audit & Advisory, LLC (“Astra”) to serve as our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The Company subsequently dismissed BF Borgers as its independent registered public accounting firm, effective May 3, 2024 and Astra was appointed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm on May 14, 2024. No representatives of Astra will be present at the Annual Meeting. The aggregate fees billed for professional services by Astra and BF Borgers during 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Audit fees for 2024 were higher than in previous years due to the additional re-audit of the Company’s 2023 annual financial statements and re-reviews of financial statements included in the Company’s 2023 Form 10-Qs, in addition to the standard audit of the 2024 financial statements and reviews of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-Q, as a result of an Order entered by the SEC disallowing companies to include audit reports by BF Borgers for Form 10-Ks on or after May 3, 2024

 

Audit-Related Fees are the aggregate fees billed during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for assurance and related services rendered by Astra and BF Borgers, respectively, that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements and are not reported under the category Audit Fees described above. For 2023, these fees primarily consist of audit fees paid relating to acquisitions we ultimately did not make. For 2024, these fees consisted of audit fees paid relating to the RevenueZen and Eastern Standard acquisitions.

 

Tax Fees are the aggregate fees billed during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning services rendered. No tax services were rendered by either Astra or BF Borgers.

 

All Other Fees are the aggregate fees billed during the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for products and services provided by Astra and BF Borgers, respectively, other than the services reported in the Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees, and Tax Fees categories above. No such services were rendered by either Astra or BF Borgers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies.

 

All the services performed by Astra and BF Borgers that are described above were pre-approved by the Company’s audit committee. The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services on a case-by-case basis.

 

None of the hours expended on Astra’s and BF Borgers’ engagement to audit the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were attributed to work performed by persons other than Astra’s and BF Borgers’ full-time, permanent employees.

 

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on each of May 3, 2024 and May 14, 2024:

 

Termination of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On May 3, 2024, the Company dismissed BF Borgers as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Company’s audit committee unanimously approved the decision to dismiss BF Borgers.

 

 BF Borgers’ reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they modified or qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles except that BF Borgers’ reports on the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 contained the following paragraph:

 

 “The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.”

 

There have been no “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) and no “reportable event” occurred (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of BF Borgers’ dismissal between the Company and BF Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BF Borgers, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their report on the Company’s financial statements for those periods.

 

BF Borgers’s is not currently permitted to appear or practice before the Commission, as a result, we did not request BF Borgers to furnish our Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the statements made in the May 3, 2024 Form 8-K.

 

Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On May 14, 2024, the Company’s audit committee unanimously approved the engagement of Astra as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period up to and including the date of BF Borgers’ dismissal, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted with Astra regarding any matter that would require disclosure under Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

 

Vote Required

 

To be approved, the proposal to ratify the appointment of Astra to serve as our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” the proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for this proposal

 

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

 

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify the appointment of Astra to serve as our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
