PROXY STATEMENT

for the

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

to be held on April 13, 2026

PROXY SOLICITATION

The Company is soliciting proxies on behalf of the board of directors in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on April 13, 2026, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The Company will bear the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement, the accompanying proxy card, and any additional materials that may be furnished to stockholders. Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. has been engaged to solicit proxies and distribute materials to brokers, banks, custodians, and other nominee holders for forwarding to beneficial owners of the Company’s stock, and the Company will pay Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. for these services and reimburse certain of its expenses. In addition, the Company will reimburse nominee holders their forwarding costs. Proxies also may be solicited through the mail or direct communication with certain stockholders or their representatives by Company officers, directors or employees, who will receive no additional compensation for their efforts.

The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, proxy statement, proxy card and other proxy materials are being mailed to stockholders of record, as of February 12, 2026 (the “Record Date”) on or about March 4, 2026.

Your vote is very important. Stockholders may vote their shares (1) at the Annual Meeting, (2) through the Internet or by telephone in advance by following the instructions on your proxy card, or (3) by completing and returning the proxy card you receive in the mail. Specific instructions for voting through the Internet or by telephone (including voting deadlines) are included in the proxy materials. For specific instructions on how to vote your shares, please refer to the instructions in this Notice, in the section titled “General Information About Voting” of the Proxy Statement or on your proxy card. Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting, please vote at your earliest convenience by following the instructions in the Proxy Statement or on the proxy card you received in the mail.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT VOTING

Who can vote?

You can vote your shares of common stock if our records show that you owned the shares on the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, a total of 1,293,177 shares of common stock are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting.

Can I vote at the Annual Meeting?

You may vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting by using the control number on your Notice, proxy card, or voting instruction form and following the instruction at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/IPW2026. If you have already voted previously by Internet, there is no need to vote again at the Annual Meeting unless you wish to revoke and change your vote.

However, you need not attend the Annual Meeting in person to vote your shares. A stockholder of the Company has the right to appoint a person or company (who need not be a stockholder) other than the persons whose names appear in such form of proxy, to attend and act for and on behalf of such stockholder at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. Such right may be exercised either by striking out the names of the persons specified in the proxy card and inserting the name of the person or company to be appointed in the blank space provided in the form of proxy, or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, delivering the completed and executed proxy to Broadridge, no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 12, 2026 or, if the Annual Meeting is adjourned, at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the United States) before the beginning of any adjournment(s) to the Annual Meeting. The proxyholder does not need to be a stockholder of the Company, but the proxyholder does need to understand that the Registered Stockholder’s vote will not be counted unless the proxyholder attends the Annual Meeting and votes the Registered Stockholder’s shares.

If you are a Non-registered Stockholder and wish to appoint someone else as your proxyholder, including yourself, to participate in the Annual Meeting, including asking questions and voting, please follow the instructions in the voting instruction form or contact your intermediary for instructions.

If I am a stockholder of record, how do I cast my vote?

We encourage you to vote your proxy over the Internet or telephone. You may vote by proxy over the Internet by going to www.proxyvote.com to complete an electronic proxy card or you may submit your vote by calling 1-800-690-6903. In order to ensure that your vote counts, we must receive your vote by no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 12, 2026.

We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares on-line, using procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from your Internet service provider and telephone company.

You may also vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card. If you choose to vote using the proxy card, please complete, sign and date your proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

If my shares are held through a brokerage firm or bank, how do I cast my vote?

For beneficial stockholders whose shares are registered in the name of a brokerage firm or bank, a number of brokerage firms and banks are participating in a program that offers Internet voting options. Stockholders should refer to the voting instruction form provided by their brokerage firm or bank for instructions on the voting methods they offer. Submitting an Internet proxy will not affect your right to vote electronically at the Annual Meeting should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting. The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow stockholders to give their voting instructions, and to confirm that stockholders’ instructions have been recorded properly.

What if other matters come up at the Annual Meeting?

The matters described in this proxy statement are the only matters we know of that will be voted on at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly presented at the meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares as they see fit.

How do I revoke my proxy and change my vote?

You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting in any of three ways:

	·	by submitting written notice revoking your proxy card to the Secretary of the Company;

	·	by submitting another proxy via the Internet or by mail that is dated after your original proxy vote and, if by mail, it is properly signed; or

	·	by voting in person (virtually) at the Annual Meeting.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy. If you hold shares in street name and wish to change your vote, you must follow the directions provided by your brokerage or other financial intermediary.

Can I vote in person at the Annual Meeting rather than by voting via Internet or by completing and returning the proxy card?

You can vote using the Internet or by telephone or you can attend the Annual Meeting virtually where you will be able to vote your shares in person.

Why are we seeking stockholder approval for these proposals?

Proposal No. 1: The Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended, and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market require corporations to hold elections for directors each year.

Proposal No. 2: The Company, through its Audit Committee, has selected HTL International, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the 2026 fiscal year. The Company elects to have its stockholders ratify such appointment.

Proposal No. 3: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) provides an advisory vote by stockholders to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers.

Proposal No. 4: To consider and vote on a proposal to approve any adjournment of the Annual Meeting from time to time, if necessary or appropriate, including to solicit additional votes in favor of any of the above proposals, in the event there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve the proposals or to establish a quorum; and

Proposal No. 5: In the event additional items arise that require a vote, we are seeking stockholder approval to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

What is “householding” and how does it work?

The SEC rules permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering only one set of proxy materials addressed to those stockholders, if consented to by the stockholders. This delivery method, called “householding,” reduces our delivery costs and provides extra convenience for stockholders. Stockholders who participate in householding and who request to receive separate printed proxy materials will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

Once a stockholder has received notification from its broker that it will be “householding” communications to such stockholder’s address, “householding” will continue until such stockholder is notified otherwise or until such stockholder notifies its broker or us that it no longer wishes to participate in “householding.” A stockholders may revoke such stockholder’s consent by notifying its broker or delivering written notice of such revocation to the Company at iPower Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 8798 9th Street, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730. Upon written or oral request of a stockholder at a shared address, we will promptly deliver separate copies of these documents or do so in the future if requested.

Votes Required to Approve each Proposal

The holders of one-third of all stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Shares of common stock represented in person or by proxy (including shares which abstain or do not vote with respect to one or more of the matters presented for stockholder approval) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

The following votes are required for approval of the proposals being presented at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors. Votes may be cast: “FOR ALL” nominees, “WITHHOLD ALL” nominees or “FOR ALL EXCEPT” those nominees noted by you on the appropriate portion of your proxy or voting instruction card. At the Annual Meeting, five directors are to be elected, which number shall constitute our entire board of directors, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Pursuant to our bylaws, as amended, directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the five candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected as directors. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named or for persons other than the named nominees. Withholding a vote from a director nominee will not be voted with respect to the director nominee indicated and will have no impact on the election of directors although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal No. 2: To Ratify the Selection of HTL International, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. Votes may be cast: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the shares of common stock cast at the meeting in person or by proxy is required for the ratification of the selection of HTL International, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. There will be no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal.

Proposal No. 3: To Approve the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. Votes may be cast: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the shares of common stock cast at the meeting in person or by proxy is required for the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the accompanying proxy statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal No. 4: To Approve an Adjournment of the Annual Meeting. Votes may be cast: “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the shares of common stock cast at the meeting in person or by proxy is required; provided, that in the absence of a quorum, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present, in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and entitled to vote is required for this adjournment proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this adjournment proposal (assuming the presence of a quorum).

How are votes counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately count “For,” “Abstain” and “Against” votes, and broker non-votes. Abstentions will not be counted as votes for any matter.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

We do. In addition to sending you these materials and posting them on the Internet, some of our employees may contact you by telephone, by mail, by fax, by email or in person. None of these employees will receive any extra compensation for doing this. We may, however, reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket costs in forwarding the proxy materials to stockholders.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except:

	·	as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements;

	·	to allow for the tabulation and certification of votes; and

	·	to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to the Company’s management and the board of directors.

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

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed within four business days after the Annual Meeting.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors, executive officers, promoters, control persons, or nominees has:

	·	had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;
	·	been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
	·	been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;
	·	been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;
	·	been the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated (not including any settlement of a civil proceeding among private litigants), relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or
	·	been the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Securities Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Board Operations

All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. Directors elected at the annual meetings serve for one-year terms. Officers are elected by, and serve at the discretion of, the board of directors. Our board of directors shall hold meetings on at least a quarterly basis.

Mr. Tan holds the positions of Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of the Company. The board of directors believes that Mr. Tan’s services as Chief Executive Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Chairman of the board of directors is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Mr. Tan possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us in our business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the board of directors’ time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the Company’s business. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees and customers.

The board of directors has not designated a lead director. The independent directors can call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between meetings of the board of directors, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors.

The board of directors receives regular reports from the Chief Executive Officer and members of senior management on operational, financial, legal and regulatory issues and risks. The Audit Committee of the board of directors additionally is charged under its charter with oversight of financial risk, including the Company’s internal controls, and it receives regular reports from management, the Company’s internal auditors and the Company’s independent auditors. Whenever a committee of the board of directors receives a report involving risk identification, risk management or risk mitigation, the chairman of the committee reports on that discussion, as appropriate, to the full board of directors during the next board meeting.

The Company’s board of directors held three meetings and acted by written consent on five occasions during the year ended June 30, 2025. During that time, no director attended fewer than 75% of the meetings of the board of directors and board committees of which the director was a member.

Director Independence Determinations

Independence of the Board of Directors

As required under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (Nasdaq), a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. The board of directors consults with our outside counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of Nasdaq, as in effect from time to time.

The board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee undertook a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment, and affiliations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that Mr. Bennet Tchaikovsky, Ms. Hanxi Li and Ms. Yue Guo do not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards. In making these determinations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our shares by each non-employee director, any transactions between the Company and the director’s immediate family or affiliated organizations during the past three fiscal years, and the transactions described in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Board Committees

Our board of directors has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of these committees operates under a charter that has been approved by our board of directors, as set forth below.

Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee consists of three independent directors. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Tchaikovsky, Ms. Guo and Ms. Li. The Audit Committee consists exclusively of directors who are financially literate and Mr. Tchaikovsky serves as chair of the Audit Committee. As a licensed certified public accountant, Mr. Tchaikovsky is considered an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC’s rules and regulations.

The audit committee responsibilities include:

	·	overseeing the compensation and work of and performance by our independent auditor and any other registered public accounting firm performing audit, review or attestation services for us;
	·	engaging, retaining and terminating our independent auditor and determining the terms thereof;
	·	assessing the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor;
	·	evaluating whether the provision of permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence;
	·	reviewing and discussing the audit results, including any comments and recommendations of the independent auditor and the responses of management to such recommendations;
	·	reviewing and discussing the annual and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent auditor;

Equity Incentive Plan

On October 15, 2020, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the iPower Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan. Further on May 5, 2021, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved and ratified, the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan. The 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan allows for the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, whether in the form of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock or cash awards. The general purpose of the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan is to provide an incentive to the Company’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors by enabling them to share in the future growth of the Company’s business. The board of directors believes that granting equity-based compensation serves to promote continuity of management and provide for a shared interest in the welfare, growth and development of the Company. The Company believes that the 2020 Amended Equity Incentive Plan will serve to advance the Company’s interests by enhancing its ability to (i) attract and retain employees, consultants, directors and advisors who are able to contribute to the Company’s ongoing success and development, (ii) reward those employees, consultants, directors and advisors for their contributions to the Company, and (iii) encourage employees, consultants, directors and advisors to participate in the Company’s long-term growth and success.

In addition to the RSU grants referenced above, on May 13, 2022, the Company granted stock options (the “Option Grants”) in the amount of (i) 3,000,000 shares to Chenlong Tan, our Chief Executive Officer and (ii) 330,000 shares to Kevin Vassily, our Chief Financial Officer. The Option Grants have an exercise price of $1.12 per share (the closing price on the grant date) and have a term of 10 years, will vest in stages upon the Company’s achievement of certain pre-determined market capitalization and revenue or operating income targets set forth in the grant agreements. Upon Mr. Vassily’s resignation, stock options for 330,000 shares granted to him were forfeited. Following the Company’s October 27, 2025 one-for-30 reverse stock split, Mr. Tan’s Option Grant is now equal to 100,000 shares exercisable at $33.60 per share.

On August 29, 2024, the Company granted 1,200,000 shares of stock options (the “2024 Stock Options”) to Chenlong Tan, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The options have an exercise price of $1.43 per share (which is 110% of the Fair Market Value of the stock on the grant date). The 2024 Stock Options have a term of 10 years and will vest as follows: 30,000 2024 Stock Options vested on the grant date (August 29, 2024), and 32,500 2024 Stock Options will vest on the first day of each month from September 1, 2024, to August 1, 2027. Following the Company’s October 27, 2025 one-fr-39 reverse stock split, Mr. Tan’s 2024 Stock Option grant is equal to 40,000 shares exercisable at $42.90 per share.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted an additional 88,094 RSUs (2,936 RSUs on a post-reverse split basis) to our directors and employees.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee is tasked with pre-approving any non-audit services proposed to be provided to the Company by the independent auditors. In accordance with the SEC’s auditor independence rules, the Audit Committee has established the following policies and procedures by which it approves in advance any audit or permissible non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its independent auditor.

Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor for any fiscal year’s audit, management submits to the Audit Committee for approval lists of recurring audit, audit-related, tax and other services expected to be provided by the auditor during that fiscal year. The Audit Committee adopts pre-approval schedules describing the recurring services that it has pre-approved, and is informed on a timely basis, and in any event by the next scheduled meeting, of any such services rendered by the independent auditor and the related fees.

The fees for any services listed in a pre-approval schedule are budgeted, and the Audit Committee requires the independent auditor and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year. The Audit Committee will require additional pre-approval if circumstances arise where it becomes necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services above the amount of fees originally pre-approved. Any audit or non-audit service not listed in a pre-approval schedule must be separately pre-approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis. Every request to adopt or amend a pre-approval schedule or to provide services that are not listed in a pre-approval schedule must include a statement by the independent auditors as to whether, in their view, the request is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

The Audit Committee will not grant approval for:

	·	any services prohibited by applicable law or by any rule or regulation of the SEC or other regulatory body applicable to the Company;

	·	provision by the independent auditor to the Company of strategic consulting services of the type typically provided by management consulting firms; or

	·	the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the tax treatment of which may not be clear under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations and which it is reasonable to conclude will be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the Company’s financial statements.

Subject to certain exceptions, tax services proposed to be provided by the auditor to any director, officer or employee of the Company who is in an accounting role or financial reporting oversight role must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis where such services are to be paid for by the Company, and the Audit Committee will be informed of any services to be provided to such individuals that are not to be paid for by the Company.

In determining whether to grant pre-approval of any non-audit services in the “all other” category, the Audit Committee will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the following four basic guidelines:

	·	whether the service creates a mutual or conflicting interest between the auditor and the Company;

Audit Committee Report

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee our financial reporting activities. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing with both our independent registered public accounting firm and management, our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, as well as our accounting, financial and operating controls and staff. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB” ) in Rule 3200T. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the last fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 to be filed with the SEC.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are submitting to stockholders an advisory vote to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive offices, as disclosed under the caption “Election of Directors—Executive Compensation,” pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables, and narrative discussion.

The advisory vote is not binding on the Company, the board of directors, or management; if executive compensation is not approved by the vote of a majority of shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote, the Compensation Committee will take account of this fact when considering executive compensation in future years.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR”
THE FOLLOWING ADVISORY RESOLUTION:

RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to Company’s named executive offices, as disclosed under the caption “Election of Directors—Executive Compensation,” pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables, and narrative discussion, be, and hereby is, approved.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

APPROVAL OF ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

If the Annual Meeting is convened and a quorum is present, but there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more of Proposals Nos. 1-3, or if there are insufficient votes to constitute a quorum, our proxy holders may move to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting at that time in order to enable the board of directors to solicit additional proxies.

In this Proposal No. 4, we are asking our stockholders to authorize the adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting by the Company from time to time to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, if sufficient votes are not represented at the Annual Meeting to approve one or more of Proposals Nos. 1-3 or if otherwise determined by the chairperson of the meeting to be necessary or appropriate. If our stockholders approve this Proposal No. 4, we could adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting and any adjourned or postponed session of the Annual Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted. Among other things, approval of this Proposal No. 4 could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat one or more of Proposals Nos. 1-3, we could adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting without a vote on such Proposal and seek to convince our stockholders to change their votes in favor of such Proposal.

If it is necessary or appropriate (as determined in good faith by the board of directors) to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting, no notice of the adjourned or postponed meeting is required to be given to our stockholders, other than an announcement at the Annual Meeting of the time and place to which the Annual Meeting is adjourned or postponed, so long as the meeting is adjourned or postponed for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned or postponed meeting. At the adjourned or postponed meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Other than as specified above with respect to directors’ and executive officers’ interests in Proposals Nos. 1-3, none of the Company’s directors or executive officers have any substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in this proposal except to the extent of their ownership of shares of Common Stock.

Adjournment Resolution

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and, if thought appropriate, pass, with or without variation, the following ordinary resolution to approve the Proposal No.4 (the “Adjournment Resolution”):

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT: the proposed Adjournment Resolution, as described in Proposal No. 4, hereby is, approved, confirmed and ratified in all respects.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”

THE ADJOURNMENT RESOLUTION

OTHER BUSINESS

The board of directors knows of no business other than that set forth above to be transacted at the meeting, but if other matters requiring a vote of the stockholders arise, the persons designated as proxies will vote the shares of common stock represented by the proxies in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
