PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

to be held on September 15, 2025

The Board of Directors of Sui Group Holdings Limited (formerly known as Mill City Ventures III, Ltd.) (the “Company”) has called an annual meeting in conformity with Minnesota Statutes, Section 302A.431, and the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The purpose of the annual meeting is to consider and vote on whether:

1.			To elect five members of the Board of Directors of the Company to hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified (“Proposal 1”);

	2.	To approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the total number of shares of capital stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 111,111,111 to 2,000,000,000 (“Proposal 2”);

	3.	To approve, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c), the issuance of common stock issuable upon exercise of management warrants (“Proposal 3”); and

	4.	To approve, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the issuance of common stock pursuant to a $500,000,000 principal equity facility, to the extent such issuance could result in the Company issuing more than twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company (“Proposal 4”); and

	5.	To transact any other business as may properly come before the annual meeting or any adjournments thereof.

VOTING

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of one-third of the total number of outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. Votes cast by proxy, in person or virtually at the meeting will be tabulated by the election inspector appointed for the meeting, and that inspector will determine whether a quorum is present. If a quorum is present, then:

	·	for Proposal 1 (the election of directors), those nominees receiving a plurality of the “For” votes (i.e., the most votes) cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy will be elected;

	·	for Proposal 2 (the increase in the number of shares of capital stock authorized for issuance under our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote is required to approve the proposal;

	·	for Proposal 3 (the issuance of common stock issuable upon exercise of management warrants), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote is required to approve the proposal; and

	·	for Proposal 4 (the issuance of common stock pursuant to a $500,000,000 principal equity facility, to the extent such issuance could result in the Company issuing more than twenty percent (20%) of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)), the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote is required to approve the proposal.

Under applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, relating to the discretionary voting of proxies by brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries that are subject to NYSE rules, such brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries may use their discretion to vote their “uninstructed” shares with respect to matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules, but not with respect to “non-routine” matters, including the election of directors and executive compensation matters, without instructions from the beneficial owner. Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4 are not “routine” matter under NYSE rules. Accordingly, we advise all street name holders of shares held in brokerage accounts that if they do not timely provide instructions to their broker, bank or other securities intermediary, their shares will not be voted in connection with Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 4 and will be considered to be broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will not be considered as present and entitled to vote with respect to those matters, and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Because NYSE rules relating to discretionary voting by brokers apply to all brokers that are members of the NYSE, the prohibition on discretionary voting applies to our annual meeting even though the Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and is not listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

This proxy statement contains information relating to the solicitation of proxies for use at our annual meeting to be held at 8:30 a.m., local time, on September 15, 2025, at our offices located at 1907 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 205, Wayzata MN 55391, for the purpose stated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We, the Company, are making this solicitation. The annual meeting can also be attended virtually by registering at https://web.viewproxy.com/SUIG/2025.

Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?

Only holders of record of our common stock at the close of business on August 1, 2025, the record date for the annual meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the annual meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting.

What are the voting rights of shareholders?

Each share of common stock outstanding on the record date entitles its holder to cast one vote on the matter to be voted upon.

Who can attend the annual meeting?

Only holders of our common stock at the close of business on August 1, 2025, the record date for the annual meeting, or their duly appointed proxies, are entitled to attend the annual meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, through a bank, broker or other nominee), you will need to bring either a copy of the brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date or a legal proxy from your bank or broker. If you are neither a shareholder nor a street name holder, you may request permission to attend the meeting in person by emailing us at admission@millcityventures3.com.

To expedite the admission process, we strongly encourage all shareholders and others wishing to attend the annual meeting to pre-register by submitting their attendance request and proof of ownership to us at by email at admission@millcityventures3.com. Pre-registration requests will be processed in the order in which they are received and must be received no later than September 12, 2025.

Can I attend the annual meeting and vote virtually or remotely?

Yes. You may attend and participate in the annual meeting, and vote, virtually. The meeting will be conducted via live audio webcast to enable our shareholders to participate from any location around the world that is convenient to them. You will be able to attend the meeting virtually by first registering at https://web.viewproxy.com/SUIG/2025. After registering, you will receive a meeting invitation by e-mail with your unique join link along with a password prior to the meeting date. Shareholders participating virtually will be able to listen and vote at the meeting virtually. All registrations to attend the meeting virtually must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on September 12, 2025.

If you are a registered or beneficial holder, then during the registration process, if you indicated that you will be voting at the meeting, once your registration is approved, an e-mail will be sent to you that will contain your virtual control number. You will not need the Virtual Control Number to join the meeting, but you will need it if you choose to vote virtually during the meeting.

If you hold your shares beneficially through a bank or broker, you must provide a legal proxy from your bank or broker during registration and you will be assigned a virtual control number in order to vote your shares during the meeting. If you are unable to obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares, you will still be able to attend the meeting (but will not be able to vote your shares) so long as you demonstrate proof of stock ownership. Instructions on how to connect and participate via the Internet, including how to demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at https://web.viewproxy.com/SUIG/2025. On the day of the meeting, you may only vote during the meeting by e-mailing a copy of your legal proxy to virtualmeeting@viewproxy.com in advance of the meeting.

We have created and implemented the virtual format in order to facilitate shareholder attendance and participation by enabling shareholders to participate fully, and equally, from any location around the world, at no cost. Nevertheless, you will bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.

If you have already voted your shares via the Internet, phone, or mail, and you wish to change your vote, you may do so at the meeting by voting virtually just as you would if you were attending the meeting in person. Your attendance at the virtual meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy vote. You must actively vote virtually during the meeting to change your vote.

What if I have technical difficulties attending the meeting virtually?

There will be technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the annual meeting virtually. Please check in by 8:15 a.m. Central Time on September 15, 2025 (15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting), the day of the meeting, so that any technical difficulties may be addressed before the meeting begins. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the webcast during the check-in or meeting time, please email VirtualMeeting@viewproxy.com or call 1-866-612-8937.

Are there rules of conduct for the annual meeting?

The use of cameras, video and audio recording devices, and other electronic devices at the annual meeting is prohibited. We realize that most cellular phones have built-in cameras and recording functions, and while you may bring these phones into the meeting, you may not use the camera or recording functions at any time.

Shareholders in attendance, either in person or virtually, may submit a question for the question-and-answer session that will immediately follow the business portion of the meeting. To promote fairness and efficiency, only one question may be asked per shareholder, and questions must be submitted in advance, on or prior to the close of business on September 12, 2025, to: admission@millcityventures3.com. Questions will be limited to topics relevant to our business. In addition, statements of advocacy that are not questions or that do not relate to our business will not be addressed. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, or other person presiding at the meeting has authority to create additional rules of conduct when deemed appropriate, as well as the authority to rule questions, statements or proposals as out of order.

What will constitute a quorum at the annual meeting?

The presence at the annual meeting, in person or by proxy, of one-third of the voting power of the shares of common stock outstanding at the close of business on August 1, 2025, will constitute a quorum permitting our shareholders to conduct business at the annual meeting. We will include abstentions in the number of shares of common stock present at the annual meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. As of the record date, there were 82,038,148 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Table of Contents

How do I vote my shares of common stock that are held by my bank, broker or other nominee?

If you hold any or all of your shares of common stock through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should follow the voting instructions provided to you by the bank, broker or nominee. Specific voting procedures relating to your shares of common stock held through a bank, broker or other nominee will depend on their particular voting arrangements and procedures.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record of our common stock, then you or your duly authorized agent may vote by:

	·	completing and returning the accompanying proxy card

	·	visiting www.annualgeneralmeetings.com/suig2025 to cast your vote on the Internet, or

	·	attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

If you are voting online, you will need the unique 15-digit control number printed on your proxy card. For Proposal 1, you may either vote “For” all the nominees to the Board of Directors or you may “Withhold” your votes for any nominee you specify.

May I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. You may revoke a previously granted proxy, at any time on or prior to the close of business on September 12, 2025, by submitting to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Joseph A. Geraci II, at 1907 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 205, Wayzata MN 55391, a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date.

If your shares are held by your broker or bank as a nominee or agent, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or bank.

How are votes counted?

If the accompanying proxy card is properly signed and returned to us, and not revoked, it will be voted AS DIRECTED BY YOU. If you hold your shares as a direct registered owner and return a proxy card but do not indicate how your shares are to be voted, your proxy card will be voted FOR all proposals at the annual meeting. If, however, you hold your shares in “street name” then your broker’s ability to vote shares in any instance where you do not indicate how your shares are to be voted will be limited by applicable rules relating to the discretionary voting of proxies by brokers.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that shareholders vote on the proposals?

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of the nominees named in Proposal 1 and votes “FOR” the approval of Proposals 2 through 4.

Who pays the costs of soliciting proxies?

We will pay the costs of soliciting proxies. Presently, we do not anticipate that we will solicit proxies by any means other than mail. We expect that banks, brokers, fiduciaries, custodians and nominees will forward proxy soliciting materials to their principals and that we will reimburse such persons’ out-of-pocket expenses.

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the annual meeting, if available. Final results will be reported on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days of the date of the annual meeting.

Under our bylaws, directors serve for annual terms expiring upon the next annual meeting of our shareholders.

When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to enable the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the Board focuses primarily on the industry and transactional experience, in addition to any unique skills or attributes associated with a director. With regard to Messrs. Polinsky and Geraci, the Board considered their significant experience, expertise and background with regard to investing in general and the Company in particular. With regard to Mr. Liszt, the Board considered his experience on other boards of public companies, his past experience in the communications and advertising fields, and his organizational experience. With regard to Messrs. Barnett and Wagner, the Board considered their extensive experience in Sui and cryptocurrency technology, as well as their reputation as leaders in financial investments and treasury strategies.

The Board has determined that two of our directors—Messrs. Liszt and Wagner—qualify as independent directors in accordance with the published listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not, and has not been, for at least three years, one of our employees and that neither the director, nor any of his family members has engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each director-nominee named above.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The positions of our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are not held by the same person. Mr. Barnett serves as the Chairman of the Board. Mr. Polinsky serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that separating these positions is in the best interests of the Company. The Board also believes that the current structure effectively supports the oversight and governance of the Company. Mr. Polinsky and Mr. Geraci, our Chief Financial Officer, are the only employee directors and do not hold formal leadership roles on the Board. The Board has determined in its judgment that the Company benefits from the unique experience and perspective of Messrs. Polinsky and Geraci, stemming from their involvement in the founding of the Company and their unparalleled knowledge of our business, our offerings to borrower and operations, as well as experience exercising their judgment regarding the various opportunities and challenges particular to our Company. The Board further believes that this leadership structure is appropriately balanced by the significant experience and independent oversight provided by the other directors, who have served as senior executives and directors at other private companies.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Board held six meetings, including telephonic meetings, and took action in writing on one occasion. During that year, all directors attended board meetings and meetings of all committees on which he served at the time. We encourage, but do not require, our directors to attend annual shareholder meetings. No directors attended our 2024 annual shareholder meeting in person or telephonically.

Although risk management is a core responsibility of the Company’s management, the Board recognizes that it plays a critical role in oversight of risk. The Board, in order to more specifically carry out this responsibility, has assigned the Audit Committee the primary duty to periodically review the Company’s policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including discussing with management the Company’s major risk exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control those exposures. Those risks include Company risks, such as the collectability of loans made by the Company, and industry and general risks, such as risks related to the impact of the general economy on our business, all as further identified in our Annual Report.

The Board intends to appoint additional independent directors to the Board and its Audit Committee to restore compliance with Nasdaq’s independence requirements.

Board Committee Membership

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Governance Committee. Each committee has a written charter that is available on the Company’s website at http://wwww.millcityventures3.com.

Audit Committee Information. The Audit Committee is composed of Howard Liszt and Dana Wagner, each of whom is independent for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and applicable Nasdaq rules.

PROPOSAL 2

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES

General

The Company currently has 111,111,111 shares of capital stock authorized. Of this amount, 82,148,429 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding. The Company has no preferred stock designated, issued or outstanding. The Board has determined to seek shareholder approval to increase the Company’s authorized share capital from 111,111,111 to 2,000,000,000 shares, by filing an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota.

The Board has determined that the Company does not currently have enough authorized shares to accommodate our forecasted capital raising needs, based on our current outstanding shares of common stock and shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants and other arrangements. As of August 1, 2025, we had 82,038,148 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In addition, the Board has reserved 17,937,565 shares of our common stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants and pre-funded warrants, 567,500 shares of common stock for issuance under our equity incentive plan and 3,469 shares of common stock reserved to satisfy certain warrant obligations. Accordingly, there are only approximately 10,454,148 shares of our authorized capital stock unreserved and available for future issuance.

The Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company to increase the number of authorized shares of our capital stock to give us greater flexibility in considering and planning for future potential business needs, including to raise additional capital in connection with our strategy to acquire the native cryptocurrency of the Sui blockchain commonly referred to as “SUI” (the “SUI Treasury Strategy”), future equity financings, future opportunities for expanding the business through investments or acquisitions, management incentives and employee benefit plans, and for other general corporate purposes.

Summary of the Proposed Amendment

The amendment will consist of a revision of Article 3, paragraph (a), of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to read as follows:

(a)

The Corporation is authorized to issue 2,000,000,000 shares of capital stock, each having $0.001 par value per share. Each share of the Corporation’s common stock shall be entitled to one vote on all matters requiring a vote of the Corporation’s shareholders. Unless otherwise specifically so designated upon issuance, all shares of capital issued by the Corporation shall be common stock.

The complete text of the form of the amendment is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

Authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Company may be issued at such times, for such purposes, including in connection with the SUI Treasury Strategy, and for such consideration as the Board may determine to be appropriate without further authority from the Company’s shareholders, except as otherwise required by applicable corporate law or applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Each share of common stock authorized for issuance has the same rights and is identical in all respects with each other share of common stock. The authorization of additional shares called for by this proposal will not affect the rights, such as voting and liquidation rights, of the shares of common stock currently outstanding. Under the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, shareholders do not have (and will continue not to have, if this proposal is approved) pre-emptive rights. Therefore, should the Board elect to issue additional shares of common stock, existing shareholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase those shares and the issuance could have a dilutive effect on overall share ownership, earnings per share, book value per share, and the voting power of current shareholders, depending on the particular circumstances in which the additional shares of common stock are issued.

The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future may also potentially have an anti-takeover effect by making it more difficult to obtain shareholder approval of various transactions. The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares could enable the Board to issue shares of common stock so as to render more difficult an attempt by another person or entity to obtain control of the Company. Nevertheless, the Board has no present intention of issuing additional shares for such purposes and has no present knowledge of any takeover efforts.

If the proposed amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment with the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Vote Required

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, assuming a quorum is present. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” this proposal.

Brokerage firms do not have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares held in street name on this Proposal 2. As a result, any shares held in street name and not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote, while abstentions will be counted as votes against the proposal.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of capital stock authorized for issuance thereunder.

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK UNDER MANAGEMENT WARRANTS

Background

On July 27, 2025, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers in a private placement offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of (i) 75,881,625 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) at an offering price of $5.42 per Share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,144,205 shares of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”) at an offering price of $5.4199 per Pre-Funded Warrant. Each of the Pre-Funded Warrants is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per Pre-Funded Warrant Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance, and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the Offering are exercised in full. Each Purchaser’s ability to exercise its Pre-Funded Warrants is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein. The Offering closed on July 31, 2025.

The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares were offered in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

The Management Warrants

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreements and in connection with the Offering, upon the closing of the Offering, the Company issued warrants (the “Management Warrants”) to Douglas M. Polinsky, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Joseph A. Geraci, II, Chief Financial Officer of the Company (together, the “Executives”), pursuant to which the Executives may purchase up to 622,694 shares of common stock individually, or an aggregate of 1,245,388 shares of common stock collectively (the “Management Warrant Shares”). The Management Warrants and the Management Warrant Shares were offered in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirement of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws.

The Management Warrants entitle each Executive to purchase the following shares of common stock of the Company at the applicable exercise prices:

	·	311,347 Management Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $5.42 per Management Warrant Share (“Tranche 1”);
	·	207,565 Management Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $6.504 per Management Warrant Share (“Tranche 2”); and
	·	103,782 Management Warrant Shares at an exercise price of $7.046 per Management Warrant Share (“Tranche 3”).

Each Tranche of Management Warrants will vest as follows: on the six (6) month anniversary of the issue date, 25% of each Tranche will vest and an additional 25% of each Tranche will vest on each of the twelve (12) month, eighteen (18) month and twenty-four (24) month anniversaries of the issue date, such that, on the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the issue date, each Tranche will be fully vested, subject to the relevant Executive still being employed by the Company at each respective vesting date.

The Management Warrants will expire five years after the date of issuance and the exercise prices are subject to standard adjustments in the event of certain events, such as stock splits, combinations, dividends, distributions, reclassifications, mergers or other corporate changes.

Each Executive’s ability to exercise its Management Warrants is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein. Additionally, no shares may be issued to the Executives under the Management Warrants unless (i) if required, shareholder approval is obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(c), or (ii) the common stock is not listed for quotation on Nasdaq or another exchange with similar approval requirements.

Table of Contents

In connection with the Offering, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Executives are entitled to certain registration rights with respect to the Management Warrant Shares. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Reasons for Requesting Stockholder Approval

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when an equity compensation arrangement is made or materially amended, pursuant to which stock may be acquired by officers, directors, employees or consultants, subject to certain exceptions outlined in such rule. For this purpose, “equity compensation” includes common stock (and/or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) issued to our officers, directors, employees or consultants. As disclosed above, the Executives were issued Management Warrants in connection with the Offering. As a result, the Management Warrants issued to the Executives may be deemed equity compensation within the meaning of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c). Accordingly, we are seeking shareholder approval of the issuance to Mr. Polinsky and Mr. Geraci of the shares of common stock upon the exercise of the Management Warrants in order to ensure compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).

Effectively, shareholder approval of this Proposal 3 is one of the conditions for us to receive up to an additional approximately $7.5 million upon the full exercise of the Management Warrants, if exercised for cash. Loss of these potential funds could jeopardize our ability to execute our business plans. There is no assurance that the Executives will exercise the Management Warrants and we generally have no control over whether the Executives exercise their Management Warrants. For this reason, we are unable to accurately forecast or predict with any certainty the total amount of shares of common stock that may be issued.

Potential Effects of Approval of this Proposal

The issuance of the shares of common stock upon exercise of the Management Warrants will not affect the rights of the holders of outstanding shares of common stock, but such issuances will have a dilutive effect on the existing shareholders, including the voting power and economic rights of the existing shareholders. Future issuances of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Management Warrants, if any, may cause a reduction in the percentage interests of our current shareholders in the voting power, any liquidation value, our book and market value, and in any future earnings. Further, the issuance or resale of common stock issued pursuant to the Management Warrants could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. In addition to the foregoing, the increase in the number of issued shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of the Management Warrants may have an incidental anti-takeover effect in that additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership of parties seeking to obtain control of us. The increased number of issued shares could discourage the possibility of, or render more difficult, certain mergers, tender offers, proxy contests or other change of control or ownership transactions.

Potential Effects of Non-Approval of this Proposal

The Board is not seeking the approval of our shareholders to authorize our entry into or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreements or the Management Warrants, as the Offering has already been completed and the Management Warrants have already been issued. We are only asking for approval to issue the shares of common stock underlying the Management Warrants upon exercise thereof, respectively.

If this Proposal 3 is not approved by our shareholders, we will be prohibited from issuing additional common stock pursuant to exercise of the Management Warrants, thereby preventing us from raising additional funds. Our ability to successfully implement our business plans and ultimately generate value for our shareholders is dependent on our ability to maximize capital raising opportunities. If we were unsuccessful in raising additional capital, we would be required to curtail our business plans, including the SUI Treasury Strategy, and instead reduce operating expenses, dispose of assets, as well as seek extended terms on our obligations, the effect of which would adversely impact future operating results.

We would realize an aggregate of up to approximately $7.5 million in gross proceeds if all the Management Warrants were exercised for cash. If the Management Warrants cannot be exercised, we will not receive any such proceeds, which could adversely impact our ability to fund our operations.

Additional Information

The information set forth in this Proposal 3 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Securities Purchase Agreements, the Management Warrants and the registration rights agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1, 4.4 and 10.3, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 31, 2025. Shareholders are urged to carefully read these documents.

Vote Required

Brokerage firms do not have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares held in street name on this Proposal 3. As a result, any shares held in street name and not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote, while abstentions will be counted as votes against the proposal.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to issue common stock issuable upon exercise of the Management Warrants, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c).

PROPOSAL 4

APPROVAL OF THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PURSUANT TO A $500,000,000 SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT PROPOSAL

Background

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to approve the issuance of the full number of shares of common stock that would be issuable under a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “PEF Agreement”) with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Investor”) to the extent that such issuance could result in the Company issuing more than 20% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company as of August 1, 2025. On August 1, 2025, the Company entered into the PEF Agreement to secure access to a $500,000,000 principal equity facility with the Investor. Under the terms of the PEF Agreement, the Company will have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor to purchase the lesser of (i) $500,000,000 (the “Total Commitment Amount”) or (ii) the Exchange Cap, which will be the number of shares not to exceed 19.99% of the Company’s shares of common stock outstanding on August 1, 2025, unless the Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of common stock in excess of the Exchange Cap, upon satisfaction of certain terms and conditions contained in the PEF Agreement, including, but not limited to, an effective registration statement filed with the SEC. The Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell the common stock at a per share purchase price equal to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the applicable period as calculated pursuant to the PEF Agreement, multiplied by 95%. The PEF Agreement will terminate at the earlier of the first anniversary of the PEF Agreement, the date the Investor will have purchased shares of common stock equal to the Total Commitment Amount, or as otherwise provided in the PEF Agreement.

The purchase price of the shares will be based on the market prices of our shares immediately preceding the time of sale as computed under the PEF Agreement. We may at any time in our sole discretion terminate the PEF Agreement without fee, penalty or cost upon one business day notice.

Concurrent with the PEF Agreement, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares of common stock that may be purchased by the Investor pursuant to the PEF Agreement.

Shareholder Approval Requirement for the Proposal

Our shares of common stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we are subject to the Nasdaq Listing Rules. We are required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) to seek shareholder approval for the issuance of shares under the PEF Agreement.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock), of 20% or more of the common stock or voting power outstanding before the issuance, at a price that is less than the “Minimum Price,” which Nasdaq defines as the lower of (1) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (2) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. Future issuances pursuant to the PEF Agreement will result in the issuance by the Company of more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, which requires stockholder approval under Nasdaq rules.

Effect of Failure to Obtain Shareholder Approval

If the shareholders do not approve Proposal 4, then the Company will need to find alternative sources of capital to fund its operations, including its SUI Treasury Strategy. Such capital may or may not be available to us on terms favorable to the Company or at all.

Effect of Shareholder Approval

If the shareholders approve Proposal 4, and contingent upon effective registration of shares issuable pursuant to the PEF Agreement, the Company expects to begin sales of shares to the Investor, unless more attractive sources of capital are identified and secured. Based on the current market price of $4.91 as of August 1, 2025, the additional issuance will result in dilution to our shareholders over a period of one year, estimated to be approximately 124% of the Company’s outstanding shares if the full amount of the Total Commitment Amount is drawn down by the Company.

Additional Information

The information set forth in this Proposal 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the PEF Agreement and the registration rights agreement attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 1, 2025. Shareholders are urged to carefully read these documents.

Vote Required

Brokerage firms do not have discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares held in street name on this Proposal 4. As a result, any shares held in street name and not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as broker non-votes. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote, while abstentions will be counted as votes against the proposal.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal to issue shares of common stock pursuant to a $500,000,000 principal equity facility, in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Each employment agreement contains one-year non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, as well as a customary covenants relating to the confidentiality of Company information. In the event that an executive is terminated for Cause (as defined in the employment agreements) or in the event that an executive’s services are terminated due to death or disability, the terminated executive will be entitled to receive only his base annual salary through the date of termination. In the event of other non-cause terminations, we will be obligated to pay the terminated executive’s base annual salary through the remainder of the employment term. Neither employment agreement contains any change-in-control provisions.

The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

In accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the following adjustments were made to total compensation for the NEO, excluding our PEO, for each year to determine the “compensation actually paid” as reflected in the table above, using the same methodology described above in Note 2:

(5)	Cumulative total shareholder return (Cumulative TSR) is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment on the dividend payment date, plus the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period, by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(6)	The dollar amounts reported are the “net increase in net assets resulting from operations” reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year, given that the Company presents its financial statements as an investment company in accordance with the accounting and reporting guidance of ASC 946.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay Versus Performance table above.

Table of Contents

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR

The following graph sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, the Compensation Actually Paid to our Non-PEO NEO, and the Company’s cumulative TSR over the three most recently completed fiscal years.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income

The graph below sets forth the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO, and our Non-PEO NEO, and the Company’s “net income” over the three most recently completed fiscal years. Because the Company presents its financial statements as an investment company in accordance with the accounting and reporting guidance of ASC 946, “net income” in the table is the “net increase in net assets resulting from operations” as reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

* Please see the narrative preceding the chart for an explanation of the presentation of the Company’s net income.

DISCRETIONARY PROXY VOTING AUTHORITY/

UNTIMELY SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Rule 14a-4(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act governs our use of discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a shareholder proposal that a shareholder has not sought to include in our proxy statement. The Rule provides that if a proponent of a proposal fails to notify us of the proposal at least 45 days before the date of mailing of the prior year’s proxy statement, then the management proxies will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement.

With respect to our 2026 annual shareholder meeting, if we are not provided notice of a shareholder proposal which the shareholder has not previously sought to include in our proxy statement by July 14, 2026, then our management proxies will be allowed to use their discretionary authority as outlined above. If, however, the date of our 2026 annual shareholder meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this annual meeting (i.e., if it is held earlier than August 16, 2026, or later than October 15, 2026), then the deadline for submitting a shareholder proposal will be a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for our 2026 annual shareholder meeting.

SOLICITATION

We will bear the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the notice of meeting, proxy statement, proxy, Annual Report and other material that may be sent to the shareholders in connection with this solicitation. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries may be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Company stock, in which case they may be reimbursed by us for their expenses in doing so. Proxies may be solicited personally, by email or by special letter.

Table of Contents

OTHER MATTERS/PROPOSALS

The Board and management know of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the annual meeting. Nevertheless, because it is possible that matters of which the Board and management are presently unaware may come before the meeting (or any adjournments), the proxies confer discretionary authority with respect to acting thereon, and the persons named in such properly executed proxies intend to vote, act and consent in accordance with their best judgment with respect thereto. Upon receipt of such proxies (in the form enclosed) in time for voting, the shares represented thereby will be voted as indicated thereon and in the proxy statement.

HOUSEHOLDING OF MATERIALS

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement may have been sent to multiple Company shareholders in each household unless otherwise instructed by such Company shareholders. We will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy statement to any Company shareholder upon written or oral request to our Chief Financial Officer, at 1907 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 205, Wayzata MN 55391, telephone: (952) 479-1920. Any shareholder wishing to receive separate copies of our proxy statement or annual report in the future, or any shareholder receiving multiple copies and who would like to receive only one copy per household, should contact their bank, broker, or other nominee record holder, or they may contact us at the above address and phone number.
