NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To be Held on May 29, 2025

To the Stockholders of NeurAxis, Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Neuraxis, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held on May 29, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time at 11611 N. Meridian St, Suite 330, Carmel, IN 46032. The meeting will be held for the following purposes:

The principal business of the meeting will be:

1.	To elect six directors to serve until our next annual meeting of the holders of our Common Stock shares and our Series B Preferred Stock shares (the “Stockholders”) or until their successor is duly elected and qualified;

2.	To ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025;

To approve, for purposes of NYSE American Company Guide Section 713(a), the issuance of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) upon the conversion of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) into up to 2,031,804 shares of Common Stock;

4.	To transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof.

You may vote if you were the record owner of shares of the Company’s Common Stock or shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, at the close of business on March 31, 2025. The board of directors of the Company has fixed the close of business on March 31, 2025 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of Stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournments thereof.

As of the Record Date, there were 7,215,864 shares of Common Stock and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share they hold.

As of the Record Date, there were 4,280,939 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding. Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible. Solely for purposes of voting rights, the conversion price is $3.80 per share. The 4,280,939 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding are held by twenty-two (22) holders. Twenty (20) of these holders collectively hold 1,452,639 shares of Series B Preferred Stock which are entitled (based on the $3.80 per share voting conversion price) to 909,800 votes.

The largest holder of Series B Preferred Stock owns 1,890,756 shares which would entitle them to 1,184,210 votes (based on the $3.80 per share voting conversion price), however, this vote amount would result in this holder having more than 9.99% of the votes outstanding which is the maximum voting percentage cap chosen by this holder. The largest holder therefore currently has 955,310 votes. The second largest holder of Series B Preferred Stock owns 937,544 shares which would entitle them to 587,198 votes (based on the $3.80 per share voting conversion price), however, this vote amount would result in this holder having more than 4.99% of the votes outstanding which is the maximum voting percentage cap chosen by this holder. The second largest holder therefore currently has 477,390 votes. The total number of votes outstanding is 9,558,364 (7,215,864 plus 909,800 plus 955,310 plus 477,390). Holders of our Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters described in this proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”).

All Stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person must notify the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 2, 2025 by contacting the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Brian Carrico, at (812) 689-0791, or bcarrico@neuraxis.com. Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, you are requested to vote over the Internet, by telephone, or, if you request a paper copy of the proxy materials and receive a proxy card, by mail. Voting by using the aforementioned methods will not prevent you from voting at the annual meeting.

2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 29, 2025

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

This Proxy Statement, along with the accompanying notice of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, contains information about the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Neuraxis, Inc., including any adjournments or postponements thereof (referred to herein as the “Annual Meeting”). We are holding the Annual Meeting at 9:00 am Eastern Time on May 29, 2025 or such later date or dates as such Annual Meeting date may be adjourned or postponed at 11611 N. Meridian St, Suite 330, Carmel, IN 46032.

In this Proxy Statement, we refer to Neuraxis, Inc. as “Neuraxis,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

Who may attend and how to attend

Our board of directors of the Company (referred to herein as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on March 31, 2025 as the record date for a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (the “Record Date”). Each share of Common Stock represents one vote to be voted on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock represents one vote to be voted on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. Record holders and beneficial owners may attend the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners

If you were a beneficial owner of record as of the Record Date (i.e., you held your shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other similar agent), you will need to obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent. Once you have received a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, it should be emailed to the Company, and should be labeled “Legal Proxy” in the subject line. Please include proof from your broker, bank or other agent of your legal proxy (e.g., a forwarded email from your broker, bank or other agent with your legal proxy attached, or an image of your valid proxy attached to your email). Requests for registration must be received by the Company no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 22, 2025. You will then receive a confirmation of your registration, with a control number, by email from bcarrico@neuraxis.com. When you arrive at the meeting, present your unique 12-digit control number.

Who Can Vote?

Stockholders who owned Common Stock or Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on March 31, 2025 (the “Record Date”), are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

As of the Record Date, there were 7,215,864 shares of Common Stock and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share they hold.

You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Shares represented by valid proxies, received in time for the Annual Meeting and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. A Stockholder may revoke a proxy before the proxy is voted by delivering to our Secretary a signed statement of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date. Any Stockholder who has executed a proxy card but attends the Annual Meeting may revoke the proxy and vote at the Annual Meeting.

How Many Votes Do I Have?

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share they hold. Other than the largest holder of the Series B Preferred Stock (subject to the 9.99% maximum voting percentage cap chosen by this holder) and the second largest holder of the Series B Preferred Stock (subject to the 4.99% maximum voting percentage cap chosen by this holder), each holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible. Solely for purposes of voting rights, the conversion price is $3.80 per share. Holders of our Common Stock shares and Series B Preferred Stock shares (referred to collectively as the “Shares”) will vote together as a single class.

How Do I Vote?

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All Shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via Internet or telephone. You may specify whether your Shares should be voted for or against each nominee for director, and whether your Shares should be voted for, against or abstain with respect to each of the other proposals. Except as set forth below, if you properly submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your Shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as noted below. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If your Shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, Vstock Transfer, LLC, or you have stock certificates, you may vote:

•	By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions you received to vote by Internet or telephone.

•	By mail. If you request a paper copy of the proxy materials and receive a proxy card, by mail. If you sign the proxy card but do not specify how you want your Shares voted, they will be voted as recommended by the Board.

If your Shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee), you must provide the bank, broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your Shares and can do so as follows:

•	By Internet or by telephone. Follow the instructions you receive from your broker to vote by Internet or telephone.

•	By mail. You will receive instructions from your broker or other nominee explaining how to vote your Shares.

If you are a beneficial owner of Shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your Shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the organization that holds your Shares may generally vote on routine matters, but cannot vote on non-routine matters.

How Does The Board Recommend That I Vote On The Proposals?

The Board recommends that you vote as follows:

“FOR” the election of the Board nominees as directors;

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025;

“FOR” the approval of the issuance of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, into up to 2,031,804 shares of Common Stock in accordance with NYSE American Company Guide Section 713(a); and

“FOR” the approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary or advisable, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals if there are not sufficient votes to approve the foregoing proposals.

If any other matter is presented, the proxy card provides that your Shares will be voted by the proxy holder listed on the proxy card in accordance with his or her best judgment. At the time this Proxy Statement was printed, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than those discussed in this Proxy Statement.

May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?

If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before the Annual Meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

•	by signing a new proxy card and submitting it as instructed above;

•	by re-voting by Internet or by telephone as instructed above - only your latest Internet or telephone vote will be counted;

•	if your Shares are registered in your name, by notifying the Company’s Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•	by attending the Annual Meeting and voting; however, attending the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy unless you specifically request it.

What If I Receive More Than One Proxy Card?

You may receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form if you hold Shares in more than one account, which may be in registered form or held in street name. Please vote in the manner described under “How Do I Vote?” on the proxy card for each account to ensure that all of your Shares are voted.

What is a Broker Non-Vote?

If your Shares are held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in “street name”), you must instruct the organization that holds your Shares how to vote your Shares. If you sign your proxy card but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote on “routine” proposals, your broker will vote your Shares as recommended by the Board. If you do not provide voting instructions, your Shares will not be voted on any “non-routine” proposals. This vote is called a “broker non-vote.”

New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Rule 452 and Section 402.8 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual which regulate broker voting in connection with certain listed companies, including companies listed on the NYSE American, LLC exchange (“NYSE American”), prohibit broker discretionary voting on a variety of matters, including, but not limited to, the election of directors for shares held in client accounts when the broker has not timely received voting instructions from the client as well as on matters related to executive compensation.

Rule 451 and Rule 452(19) of the NYSE provides that if you fail to instruct the record owner how to vote by the tenth (10th) day before the meeting, the record owner is not permitted to vote your shares in its discretion on your behalf for the election of directors even in uncontested elections or on matters related to executive compensation but is permitted to vote your shares in its discretion on your behalf on specified routine items.

NYSE American exchange rules also determine whether other proposals presented at the stockholder meetings are routine or not routine. If your holdings of our common shares are held in street name, under the rules of the NYSE your broker or other nominee may vote your shares on certain routine matters, if you do not provide such record holder with voting instructions.

Proposals One and Three are considered to be “non-routine” under the NYSE rules such that your broker, bank or other agent may not vote your shares on those proposals in the absence of your voting instructions. Conversely, Proposals Two and Four are considered to be “routine” under the NYSE rules and thus if you do not return voting instructions to your broker, your shares may be voted by your broker in its discretion on Proposals Two and Four.

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?


Proposal One: Election of Directors			A plurality of the Shares present or represented by proxy is required to elect the nominees as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Proposal Two: Ratification of the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.			The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a Stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” If you are a beneficial owner, your broker, bank or other nominee may vote your Shares on this proposal without receiving voting instructions from you.

Proposal Three: To approve the issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s common stock issuable upon the conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or certain convertible promissory notes, in accordance with NYSE American Company Guide Section 713(a).			The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a Stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal Four: Authorization to adjourn the Annual Meeting			The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal. This means that the votes cast by the Stockholders “FOR” the approval of the proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” the approval of the proposal. If a Stockholder votes to “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

What Constitutes a Quorum for the Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, constitutes a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, 4,779,183 votes will constitute a quorum. Votes of Stockholders of record who are present at the Annual Meeting or by proxy, abstentions, and broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Do I Have Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal?

The Company’s Stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under the Company’s governing documents with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Notice and Access

As permitted by the SEC, we are furnishing to Stockholders our Notice of the Annual Meeting, this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report primarily over the internet. On or about April 14, 2025, we will mail to each of our Stockholders (other than those who previously requested electronic delivery or previously elected to receive delivery of a paper copy of the proxy materials) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) containing instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials via the internet and how to submit a proxy electronically using the internet.

The Notice of Internet Availability also contains instructions on how to receive, free of charge, paper copies of the proxy materials. If you received the Notice of Internet Availability, you will not receive a paper copy of the proxy materials unless you request one.

We believe the delivery options that we have chosen will allow us to provide our Stockholders with the proxy materials they need, while minimizing the cost of the delivery of the materials and the environmental impact of printing and mailing paper copies.

Householding of Annual Disclosure Documents

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) previously adopted a rule concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents. We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, we are permitted to deliver a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if a Stockholder requested printed versions by mail, our proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our annual report, to Stockholders sharing the same address who did not otherwise notify us of their desire to receive multiple copies of our proxy materials. Householding allows us to reduce our printing and postage costs and limits the volume of duplicative information received at your household. A separate proxy card will continue to be mailed for each registered Stockholder account who requests a paper copy of the proxy materials.

We will promptly deliver, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if a Stockholder requested printed versions by mail, the proxy materials to any Stockholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. If you wish to receive an additional copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or our proxy materials, or if you received multiple copies and wish to request householding in the future, you may make such request by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 11611 N. Meridian St, Suite 330, Carmel, IN 46032.

If you are a street name holder and wish to revoke your consent to householding and receive separate copies of our proxy materials for the annual meeting of Stockholders this year or future years, you may call Broadridge Investor Communications Services toll-free at (866) 540-7095 or write to them c/o Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

Who is Paying for this Proxy Solicitation?

The Company is paying the cost of preparing, printing and mailing these proxy materials. In addition to mailed proxy materials, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. We will not pay our directors, officers and employees any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. We do not intend, but reserve the right, to use the services of a third party solicitation firm to assist us in soliciting proxies.

Who will Count the Votes?

A representative from Broadridge will act as the inspector of election and count the votes.

When are Stockholder Proposals due for Next Year’s Annual Meeting?

At our annual meeting each year, our Board submits to Stockholders its nominees for election as directors. In addition, the Board may submit other matters to the Stockholders for action at the annual meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for consideration at the 2026 annual meeting of Stockholders by submitting their proposals to the Company in a timely manner. These proposals must meet the Stockholder eligibility and other requirements of the SEC. To be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, you must submit your proposal in writing no later than March 31, 2026 to the Company at Neuraxis, Inc., 11611 N. Meridian St, Suite 330, Carmel, IN 46032; provided, however, if the date of the Annual Meeting is convened more than 30 days before, or delayed by more than 30 days after the first anniversary of this Annual Meeting, a Stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing to the Company not less than 10 calendar days after the date the Company shall have mailed notice to its Stockholders of the date that the annual meeting of Stockholders will be held or shall have issued a press release or otherwise publicly disseminated notice that an annual meeting of Stockholders will be held and the date of the meeting.

What Interest Do Officers and Directors Have in Matters to Be Acted Upon?

None of the members of the Board and none of the executive officers of the Company have any interest in any proposal that is not shared by all other Stockholders of the Company except for Proposal One regarding the nomination of members to the Board.

Where Can I Find the Voting Results of the Annual Meeting?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting. We will also disclose voting results in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, which will be available on our website.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

The Company files annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You can read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC, which you can access over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov. The Company’s website address is https://neuraxis.com/. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, the Company’s website is not a part of this Proxy Statement.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 31, 2025 based on 7,215,864 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to an additional 2,342,500 votes (solely for purposes of voting rights, the conversion price is $3.80 per share and two holders have fewer votes than they would otherwise be entitled to due to the respective maximum voting percentage cap chosen by each of the two holders). Therefore, the total votes of the Company’s currently outstanding securities is 9,558,364 votes, subject to a maximum voting percentage cap of between 4.99% and 19.99% of the votes outstanding set at the discretion of each holder of Series B Preferred Stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities as well as any common stock that the person has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 31, 2025 through the exercise of stock options or other rights. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

The Company’s Board of Directors is currently comprised of six authorized directors. A total of six directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve until the next annual meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

The nominees have consented to serve if elected. We expect that the nominees will be available for election, but if they are not candidates at the time the election occurs, such proxy will be voted for the election of another nominee to be designated by the Board to fill any such vacancy.

Biographical and certain other information concerning the Company’s nominees for election to the Board is set forth below. Our directors are not directors in any other reporting companies. We are not aware of any proceedings to which our directors, or any associate of our directors are a party adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.

On October 12, 2017, the Company adopted the Innovative Health Solutions, Inc. 2017 Stock Compensation Plan, as amended on September 13, 2019, September 9, 2021, and November 1, 2022 (collectively, the “2017 Plan”). The purpose of the 2017 Plan is to grant incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, or restricted stock awards to our officers, employees, directors, advisors, and consultants. The maximum numbers of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted were 1,319,394. Cancelled and forfeited stock options and stock awards may again become available for grant under the 2017 Plan. As of December 31, 2024, options to purchase all 1,319,394 shares of common stock have been granted under the 2017 Plan and remain outstanding, and no shares

remain available for issuance under the 2017 Plan. The following summary briefly describes the principal features of the 2017 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2017 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Purpose of the 2017 Plan: The purposes of the 2017 Plan are to encourage ownership of shares by eligible employees and key non-employees in order to attract and retain such eligible employees in the employ of the Company or an affiliated entity, or to attract such key non-employees to provide services to the Company or an affiliated entity, and to provide additional incentive for such persons to promote the long-term success of the Company or an affiliated entity.

Administration of the Plan: The 2017 Plan is administered by the board of directors, or the committee to which the board of directors delegates the power to act. Among other things, the administrator has the authority to select persons who will receive awards, determine the types of awards and the number of shares to be covered by awards, and to establish the terms, conditions, restrictions and other provisions of awards. The administrator has authority to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2017 Plan.

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2017 Plan are those officers, employees, directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company or an affiliated entity who are selected by the administrator.

Shares Available under the 2017 Plan: The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered to participants under the 2017 Plan is 1,319,394 shares, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits. No new grants will be made under the 2017 Plan, and shares subject to an award under the 2017 Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited or expires will become available for grants under the 2022 Plan described below. Shares subject to an award that is settled in cash will not again be made available for grants under the 2017 Plan.

Stock Options

General. Subject to the provisions of the 2017 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options, although there are currently no shares of common stock remaining reserved for grants under the 2017 Plan.

Option Price. The exercise price for stock options is determined at the time of grant. The exercise price may not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. Additionally, incentive stock option grants to any person owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

Exercise of Options. An option may be exercised only in accordance with the terms and conditions for the option agreement as established by the administrator at the time of the grant. The option must be exercised by notice to us, accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Payments may be made in cash or, at the option of the administrator, by actual or constructive delivery of shares of common stock to the holder of the option based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise.

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, such term cannot exceed ten years provided that in the case of holders of more than 10% of our voting stock, such term cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date only if the holder’s service with our Company or an affiliate terminates before the expiration date and the holder is terminated for cause. The option may remain exercisable until the expiration date of the option after terminations of employment for any reason other than for cause, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement.

Incentive and Non-Qualified Options. An incentive stock option is an option that is intended to qualify under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for more favorable tax treatment than applies to non-qualified stock options. Any option that does not qualify as an incentive stock option will be a non-qualified stock option. Under the Code, certain restrictions apply to incentive stock options. For example, the exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the grant date and the term of the option may not exceed ten years. In addition, an incentive stock option may not be transferred, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and is exercisable during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder. In addition, no incentive stock options may be granted to a holder that is first exercisable in a single year if that option, together with all incentive stock options previously granted to the holder that also first become exercisable in that year, relate to shares having an aggregate market value in excess of $100,000, measured at the grant date.

Restricted Stock Awards: Restricted stock awards could have also been granted under the 2017 Plan, although there are currently no shares of common stock remaining reserved for grants under the 2017 Plan. A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of common stock or of a right to receive shares in the future.

Other Material Provisions: Awards are evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our Company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our Company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board of directors also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The Plan may be amended by the board of directors and such amendment shall become effective upon adoption by the board of directors; provided, however, that any amendment shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company at or before the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company if such stockholder approval is required by applicable laws. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

No new grants can be made under the 2017 Plan. The terms and conditions of awards granted under the 2017 Plan prior to the effective date of the 2022 Plan will not be affected by the adoption or approval of the 2022 Plan, and the 2017 Plan will remain effective with respect to such awards.

In addition, subject to the express provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator is authorized to

construe the 2022 Plan and the respective award agreements executed thereunder, to prescribe such rules and regulations relating to the 2022 Plan as it may deem advisable to carry out the intent of the 2022 Plan, to determine the terms, restrictions and provisions of each award, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the 2022 Plan.

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2022 Plan will be those officers, employees, directors, advisors, and consultants of the Company or an affiliated entity who are selected by the administrator.

Shares Available under the Plan: The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered to participants under the 2022 Plan is 958,820 shares, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits. Shares subject to an award under the 2022 Plan for which the award lapses, expires, is canceled, terminated, unexercised or ceases to be exercisable again become available for grants under the 2022 Plan.

Stock Options

General. Subject to the provisions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options.

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, such term cannot exceed ten years provided that in the case of holders of more than 10% of our voting stock, such term cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date if the holder’s service with our Company or a subsidiary terminates before the expiration date. The option may remain exercisable for specified periods after certain terminations of employment, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement, with the precise period during which the option may be exercised to be established by the administrator and reflected in the grant evidencing the award.

Incentive and Non-Qualified Options. As described elsewhere in this summary, an incentive stock option is an option that is intended to qualify under certain provisions of the Code, for more favorable tax treatment than applies to non-qualified stock options. Any option that does not qualify as an incentive stock option will be a non-qualified stock option. Under the Code, certain restrictions apply to incentive stock options. For example, generally, the exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the grant date and the term of the option may not exceed ten years. In addition, an incentive stock option may not be transferred, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder. In addition, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all plans of the Company and any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation thereof which provide for the grant of incentive stock options exceeds $100,000, the portion of such incentive stock options that exceeds such threshold shall be treated as non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options shall be granted to employees only.

Restricted Stock Awards: Restricted stock awards can be granted under the 2022 Plan. A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of common stock or of a right to receive shares in the future. These awards will be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the administrator shall determine at the date of grant. Those may include requirements for continuous service and/or the achievement of specified performance goals.

Unrestricted Stock Awards: Unrestricted stock awards can also be granted under the 2022 Plan. An unrestricted stock award is a grant of shares of common stock which is not subject to restrictions, in consideration for past services rendered thereby to the Company or an affiliate or for other valid consideration.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards: Restricted stock unit awards (“RSUs”) can be granted under the 2022 Plan upon the satisfaction of predetermined individual service related vesting requirements. The holder of a restricted stock unit shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fair market value of shares of common stock, for each unit awarded to the holder.

Performance Stock Unit Awards: Performance stock unit awards can be granted under the 2022 Plan. A holder of performance stock units shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the dollar value or number of shares of common stock assigned to such units if the holder and/or the Company satisfy the predetermined performance goals and objectives.

Distribution Equivalent Rights: Distribution equivalent right awards can be granted under the 2022 Plan. A distribution equivalent right award entitles the holder to receive bookkeeping credits, cash payments and/or common stock distributions equal in amount to the distributions that would have been made to the holder had the holder held a specified number of common stock during the period the holder held the distribution equivalent right.

Stock Appreciation Rights: Stock appreciation rights can also be granted under the 2022 Plan, which is a right, granted alone or in connection with a related Option, to receive a payment on the date of exercise. The base value of the stock appreciation right shall be set forth by the administrator and shall not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant for the stock appreciation right which is not a tandem stock appreciation right. No stock appreciation right shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date of its grant. Upon the exercise of some or all of the portion of a stock appreciation right, the holder shall receive a payment from the Company, in cash or in the form of common stock having an equivalent fair market value or in a combination of both. If the administrator grants a stock appreciation right which is intended to be a tandem stock appreciation right, the tandem stock appreciation right shall be granted at the same time as the related option.

Other Material Provisions: Awards are evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our Company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our Company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board of directors also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The 2022 Plan may be amended by the board of directors and such amendment shall become effective upon adoption by the board of directors; provided, however, that any amendment shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company at or before the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company if such stockholder approval is required by applicable laws. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the 2022 Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award. The 2022 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the board of directors.

Employment Agreements

Brian Carrico, our Chief Executive Officer, entered into an employment agreement with the Company, dated August 9, 2022 and amended on May 4, 2023, which has a five-year initial term and provides for a base salary of $330,000, which shall be increased each year by not less than 3% per annum. Mr. Carrico also will receive a one-time incentive payment in the amount of $435,577, which amount consists of accrued and unpaid salary and a bonus to incentivize Mr. Carrico to remain with the Company for future service. Neither the accrued and unpaid salary nor bonus was the subject of any contract or agreement between Mr. Carrico and the Company prior to the execution of the employment agreement. The agreement contemplated that the incentive payment would be paid by December 15, 2022, but due to administrative impracticability, payment was made with a portion of the proceeds from the IPO in August 2023. In addition, Mr. Carrico is entitled to payment of a deferred bonus in an amount equal to (i) the aggregate of the strike price or exercise price of all 320,000 unexercised options to purchase stock or shares of the Company held by Mr. Carrico (the “Aggregate Strike Price”) plus (ii) a tax gross-up payment on the Aggregate Strike Price reasonably calculated by the Company at the highest marginal rates so that after payment of all ordinary income taxes on such Aggregate Strike Price, there remains an amount sufficient to pay such ordinary income taxes. The special deferred bonus will be paid in substantially equal 20% installments (the “Annual Deferred Bonus

Payment”) on January 2 on each of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 (the “Scheduled Payment Dates”), with a condition that on or before each Scheduled Payment Date, Mr. Carrico shall exercise at least 64,000 of the stock option. None of stock options has been exercised, therefore, no special deferred bonus has been paid as of the date of this proxy statement. Mr. Carrico may exercise any portion of the stock options after a Scheduled Payment Date; provided, however, an exercise after the applicable Scheduled Payment Date shall result in forfeiture of the related Annual Deferred Bonus Payment.

If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Carrico will receive any accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and is entitled to severance payments as follows:

•

If termination occurs during the initial term, the severance payment shall be the amount equal to the greater of (a) three times Mr. Carrico’s base salary as of the termination date; and (b) three times the total amount of Mr. Carrico’s bonus payments the Company paid Mr. Carrico over the one year prior to the termination date, to be paid in substantially equal monthly installments over the course of the three years.

•

If termination occurs after the initial term, the severance payment shall be the amount equal to the greater of (a) one and one half (1.5) times Mr. Carrico’s base salary as of the termination date; and (b) one and one half (1.5) times the total amount of Mr. Carrico’s bonus payments the Company paid Mr. Carrico over the one (1) year prior to the termination date, to be paid in substantially equal monthly installments over the course of 18 months following the termination date.

•	In addition, as part of the severance payment, we agreed to pay Mr. Carrico monthly COBRA premiums for continuation of health coverage for 18 months post termination.

If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company for cause, Mr. Carrico will forfeit any unpaid Annual Deferred Bonus Payment, but will receive any unpaid base salary that has been earned at the time of such termination, reimbursement of any expenses properly incurred prior to the Mr. Carrico’s termination date; and accrued and unused paid time off (“PTO”), if any, in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy in effect on Mr. Carrico’s termination date.

Mr. Carrico may terminate the employment agreement without good reason upon more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice or for good reason without prior written consent, and will receive accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and the unpaid balance of the deferred bonus.

In the event that Mr. Carrico is terminated without cause, non-forfeited portions of the deferred bonus will be paid in equal installments over the remaining scheduled payment dates, if vested options as scheduled are exercised before the scheduled payment dates. A deferred bonus tranche will be forfeited if its corresponding options have expired.

On a change in control (as defined in the employment agreement), full vesting of the Annual Deferred Bonus Payment will occur and be paid in a single lump sum within 30 days after the change in control. The offering shall not be considered a change in control.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Carrico also agreed to (i) not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any confidential information without the prior written consent of the Company or the board of directors, (ii) will not, directly or indirectly encourage, solicit, induce (or attempt to encourage, solicit or induce) any employee or agent of the Company that was employed (or otherwise engaged) at the time of his separation during his employment and for 24 months after his separation from that employment for any reason; (iii) will not, directly or indirectly, have any ownership interest in, work for, advise, manage, act as an agent or consultant for, or have any business connection or business or employment relationship with any entity or person which competes with Company; (iv) will not, directly or indirectly, have any ownership interest in, work for, advise, manage, act as an agent or consultant for, or have any business connection or business or employment relationship with any entity or person which competes with the Company during his employment and, (v) will not, directly or indirectly and in a competitive capacity own, manage, finance, operate, control or participate in ownership, management, or operation of, act as an agent, consultant, or be employed with, any business engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing, sale or servicing of any service or product with which Mr. Carrico was involved during his

last year of employment with the Company; or which the Company is developing, producing, marketing, selling or servicing (or plans to develop, produce, market, sale or service) and about which Mr. Carrico gained any confidential information in the course of his employment with the Company for a period of 24 months after his separation from the Company.

Timothy Henrichs, our Chief Financial Officer entered into an employment agreement with the Company, dated January 1, 2025 which has a five-year initial term and provides for a base salary of $330,000, which shall be increased each year by not less than 3% per annum. Mr. Henrichs also will receive a one-time hiring grant of 100,000 shares of common stock.

If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Henrichs will receive any accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and is entitled to severance payments as follows:

•

If termination occurs during the initial term, the severance payment shall be the amount equal to the greater of (a) one times Mr. Henrichs’ base salary as of the termination date; and (b) one times the total amount of Mr. Henrichs’ bonus payments the Company paid Mr. Henrichs over the one year prior to the termination date, to be paid in substantially equal monthly installments over the course of one year.

•

If termination occurs after the initial term, the severance payment shall be the amount equal to the greater of (a) one and times Mr. Henrichs’ base salary as of the termination date; and (b) one times the total amount of Mr. Henrichs’ bonus payments the Company paid Mr. Henrichs over the one (1) year prior to the termination date, to be paid in substantially equal monthly installments over the course of 12 months following the termination date.

•	In addition, as part of the severance payment, we agreed to pay Mr. Henrichs monthly COBRA premiums for continuation of health coverage for 18 months post termination.

If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company for cause, Mr. Henrichs will forfeit any unpaid Annual Deferred Bonus Payment, but will receive any unpaid base salary that has been earned at the time of such termination, reimbursement of any expenses properly incurred prior to the Mr. Henrichs’ termination date; and accrued and unused paid time off (“PTO”), if any, in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy in effect on Mr. Henrichs’ termination date.

Mr. Henrichs may terminate the employment agreement without good reason upon more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice or for good reason without prior written consent, and will receive accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and the unpaid balance of the deferred bonus.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Henrichs also agreed to (i) not disclose to any unauthorized person or use for his own account any confidential information without the prior written consent of the Company or the board of directors, (ii) will not, directly or indirectly encourage, solicit, induce (or attempt to encourage, solicit or induce) any employee or agent of the Company that was employed (or otherwise engaged) at the time of his separation during his employment and for 24 months after his separation from that employment for any reason; (iii) will not, directly or indirectly, have any ownership interest in, work for, advise, manage, act as an agent or consultant for, or have any business connection or business or employment relationship with any entity or person which competes with Company; (iv) will not, directly or indirectly, have any ownership interest in, work for, advise, manage, act as an agent or consultant for, or have any business connection or business or employment relationship with any entity or person which competes with the Company during his employment and, (v) will not, directly or indirectly and in a competitive capacity own, manage, finance, operate, control or participate in ownership, management, or operation of, act as an agent, consultant, or be employed with, any business engaged in the design, manufacture, marketing, sale or servicing of any service or product with which Mr. Henrichs was involved during his last year of employment with the Company; or which the Company is developing, producing, marketing, selling or servicing (or plans to develop, produce, market, sale or service) and about which Mr. Henrichs gained any confidential information in the course of his employment with the Company for a period of 24 months after his separation from the Company.

Dr. Adrian Miranda, our Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Science and Technology, entered into an employment agreement with the Company, dated August 17, 2022, which has a two-year initial term and provides for a base salary of $300,000 with annual compensation increase. In addition, Dr. Miranda shall be entitled to payment of a special deferred bonus in an amount equal to (i) the aggregate of the strike price or exercise price

of all 337,204 unexercised options to purchase stock or shares of the Company held by Dr. Miranda (the “Aggregate Strike Price”) plus (ii) a tax gross-up payment on the Aggregate Strike Price reasonably calculated by the Company at the highest marginal rates so that after payment of all ordinary income taxes on such Aggregate Strike Price, there remains an amount sufficient to pay such ordinary income taxes. The deferred bonus will be paid in substantially equal 20% installments (the “Annual Deferred Bonus Payment”) on January 2 on each of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028, with a condition that on or before each scheduled payment date, Dr. Miranda shall exercise at least 67,441 of the stock options.

Dr. Miranda may terminate the employment agreement without good reason upon more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice or for good reason without prior written consent, and will receive accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and the unpaid balance of the special deferred bonus.

In the event that Dr. Miranda is terminated without cause, non-forfeited portions of the deferred bonus will be paid in equal installments over the remaining scheduled payment dates, if vested options as scheduled are exercised before the scheduled payment dates. A deferred bonus tranche will be forfeited if its corresponding options have expired.

Dr. Thomas Carrico, Chief Regulatory Officer, entered into an employment agreement with the Company, dated August 9, 2022 and amended on May 4, 2023, which has a two-year initial term and provides for a base salary of $275,000 with annual compensation increase. Dr. Carrico will also receive a one-time incentive payment in the amount of $135,655, which amount includes accrued and unpaid salary and a bonus to incentivize Dr. Carrico to remain with the Company for future service. Neither the accrued and unpaid salary nor bonus was the subject of any contract or agreement between Dr. Carrico and the Company prior to the execution of the employment agreement. The agreement contemplated that the incentive payment would be paid by December 15, 2022, but due to administrative impracticability, payment was made with a portion of the proceeds from the IPO in August 2023. In addition, Dr. Carrico shall be entitled to payment of a deferred bonus in an amount equal to (i) the aggregate of the strike price or exercise price of all 306,236 unexercised options to purchase stock or shares of the Company held by Dr. Carrico (the “Aggregate Strike Price”) plus (ii) a tax gross-up payment on the Aggregate Strike Price reasonably calculated by the Company at the highest marginal rates so that after payment of all ordinary income taxes on such Aggregate Strike Price, there remains an amount sufficient to pay such ordinary income taxes. The special deferred bonus will be paid in substantially equal 20% installments (the “Annual Deferred Bonus Payment”) on January 2 on each of 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028 (the “Scheduled Payment Dates”), with a condition that on or before each Scheduled Payment Date, Dr. Carrico shall exercise at least 61,274 of the stock option. None of stock options has been exercised, therefore, no special deferred bonus has been paid as of the date of this proxy statement. Dr. Carrico may exercise any portion of the stock options after a Scheduled Payment Date; provided, however, an exercise after the applicable Scheduled Payment Date shall result in forfeiture of the related Annual Deferred Bonus Payment.

If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the employment agreement), Dr. Carrico will receive any accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and is entitled to certain amount of severance payments as follows:

•	If termination occurs during the initial term, the Company shall provide Dr. Carrico with severance compensation in the form of salary continuation at his Base Salary as of the termination date and ending the later of (i) 6 months or (ii) on the expiration date of the initial term.

•	In addition, if termination occurs during the initial term, as part of the severance payment, we agreed to pay Dr. Carrico reimbursement of his Medicare, Medicare Supplement and prescription drug coverage insurance premiums for continuation of health coverage for 18 months post termination.

If the employment agreement is terminated by the Company for cause, Dr. Carrico will forfeit any unpaid Annual Deferred Bonus Payment, but will receive any unpaid base salary that has been earned at the time of such termination, reimbursement of any expenses properly incurred prior to the Dr. Carrico’s termination date; and (iii) accrued and unused PTO, if any, in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy in effect on Dr. Carrico’s termination date.

Dr. Carrico may terminate the employment agreement without good reason upon more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice or for good reason without prior written consent, and will receive accrued compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and the unpaid balance of the special deferred bonus.

In the event that Dr. Carrico is terminated without cause after this offering, non-forfeited portions of the deferred bonus will be paid in equal installments over the remaining scheduled payment dates, if vested options as scheduled are exercised before the scheduled payment dates. A deferred bonus tranche will be forfeited if its corresponding options have expired.

PAY VERSUS PERFORMANCE

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, which was adopted by the SEC in 2022, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to our principal executive officer (“PEO”) and non-PEO Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) and certain financial performance of the Company for the fiscal years listed below.

(1)	Information for years prior to 2023 is not included because the Company was not a public reporting entity before August 9, 2023.

(2)	Amounts reported for our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Brian Carrico.

(3)

Amounts represent (i) the average of our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Tim Henrichs, Chief Regulatory Officer, Dr. Thomas Carrico, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Adrian Miranda, for fiscal year 2024 and (ii) the average of our Chief Regulatory Officer, Dr. Thomas Carrico, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Adrian Miranda, for fiscal year 2023. Mr. Henrichs' employment began on February 5, 2024.

(4)	Amount represents the total stockholder return from August 9, 2023, our first day of trading as a public company, through the last day of trading in the fiscal year.

(5)	Amount represents our net loss as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The illustrations below provide an additional graphical description of CAP compared to both our cumulative TSR and our net loss. As the illustrations show, the compensation actually paid to our PEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to our non-PEO NEOs during the periods presented are not directly correlated with TSR. We do utilize several performance measures to align executive compensation with our performance, but those tend not to be financial performance measures, such as TSR. Compensation actually paid is influenced by numerous factors including, but not limited to, the timing of new grant issuances and award vesting, NEO mix, share-price volatility during the fiscal year, our mix of performance metrics and other factors.

The illustration below compares our cumulative TSR over the period from our initial public offering date to December 31, 2024.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following includes a summary of transactions since January 1, 2023, to which we have been a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of (i) $120,000 and (ii) one percent (1%) of the average of our total assets at year-end for the prior two fiscal years, and in which any of our directors, executive officers or, to our knowledge, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our capital stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation.” We also describe below certain other transactions with our directors, executive officers and stockholders.

The Company has two demand notes receivable from its two founding shareholders, Christopher Robin Brown and Gary Peterson, related to the sale of common stock on January 1, 2016. The initial balances of both notes were $506,400, with interest calculated monthly based on applicable federal rates. No payments have been received on the notes. As of December 31, 2024, the balances of both notes were $506,400 plus interest of $188,567. The entire $1,201,367 balance, including interest, has been fully reserved as of December 31, 2024.

The Company has loans payable to Christopher Robin Brown, one of our founders and a member of our board of directors, related to funding needs for operations with original principal amounts of $55,000 and $50,000 each bearing interest at 15% per annum. In August 2023, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to repay these loans payable in full, including $37,103 in interest.

Mr. Watkins, Director, provided certain sales, marketing and commercialization consulting services to the Company prior to his appointment to the Board of Directors. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid Mr. Watkins $0 and $11,083, respectively.

John Seale, our former Chief Financial Officer, is also the managing partner of a third- party public accounting firm that provides contracted services to the Company. Mr. Seale, through the third-party firm, has provided accounting services since 2017. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid the third-party accounting firm $207,103 and $312,803, respectively, for accounting services.

We have adopted a formal policy that our executive officers, directors, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, and any member of the immediate family of and any entity affiliated with any of the foregoing persons, are not permitted to enter into a related party transaction with us without the prior consent of our Audit Committee, or other independent members of our Board of Directors if it is inappropriate for our audit committee to review such transaction due to a conflict of interest. Any request for us to enter into a transaction with an executive officer, director, principal shareholder, or any of their immediate family members or affiliates, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years must first be presented to our audit committee for review, consideration and approval. In approving or rejecting any such proposal, our Audit Committee is to consider the relevant facts and circumstances available and deemed relevant to the audit committee, including, but not limited to, whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.

PROPOSAL TWO:

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ROSENBERG RICH BAKER BERMAN, P.A.

AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025

The Board has appointed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. (“RRBB”) as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Board proposes that our Stockholders ratify this appointment. RRBB has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since June 2022.

We expect that representatives of RRBB will be available via phone at the Annual Meeting, will be able to make a statement if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of RRBB as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Board seeks such ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. Should the Stockholders fail to ratify the selection of RRBB as our independent registered public accounting firm, the Board will reconsider whether to retain that firm for fiscal year 2025. In deciding to appoint RRBB, the Audit Committee has reviewed auditor independence issues and existing commercial relationships with RRBB and concluded that RRBB has no commercial relationship with the Company that would impair its independence for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Set forth below are approximate fees for services rendered by RRBB, our independent registered public accounting firm, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Audit Fees

These are fees for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements, and for the review of the financial statements included in our filings on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for us by our independent registered public accounting firm, subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act and Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X, provided that all such excepted services are subsequently approved prior to the completion of the audit. We have complied with the procedures set forth above, and the Audit Committee has otherwise complied with the provisions of its charter.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of RRBB as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. We are not required to obtain the approval of our Stockholders to appoint the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. However, if our Stockholders do not ratify the appointment of RRBB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, the Board may reconsider its appointment.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF RRBB AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR THEREOF UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER HAS INDICATED OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee has:

•	reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 with management;

•	discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the matters required to be discussed under Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 1301; and

•

received the written disclosures and letter from the independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditors communications with the Board concerning independence, and has discussed with RRBB matters relating to its independence.

In reliance on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended that the consolidated financial statements audited by RRBB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for such fiscal year.

PROPOSAL THREE:

APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF 20% OR MORE OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

General

We are asking stockholders to approve the issuance of shares of our common stock upon the conversion of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”) into up to 2,031,804 shares of Common Stock in accordance with NYSE American Company Guide Section 713(a), as described in more detail below.

Creation and Issuances of Series B Preferred Stock

In the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on August 15, 2024, the Stockholders (i) authorized 5,000,000 shares of blank-check preferred stock, and (ii) approved the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, into up to 3,838,235 shares of Common Stock.

Following the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company filed (i) an amendment to its certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation of preferences, rights, and limitations of Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) on August 22, 2024, and (ii) Amendment No. 1 to the Certificate of Designation on November 15, 2024, designating 5,000,000 shares as Series B Preferred Stock.

From November 2024 through December 2024, the Company sold and issued 4,280,939 shares of Series B Preferred Stock. As of the Record Date, there were 4,280,939 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, which are convertible into 4,280,939 shares of Common Stock, and 719,061 shares of Series B Preferred Stock available to be sold and issued by the Company, which are convertible into 719,061 shares of Common Stock. In addition, 870,039 shares of Common Stock are issuable as unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, which could be declared through December 31, 2026, at which time the rights to receive dividends will automatically expire.

As of the date of this proxy statement, a total of 5,870,039 shares of Common Stock may be issued to holders of Series B Preferred Stock, consisting of (i) 4,280,939 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 4,280,939 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, (ii) 870,039 shares of Common Stock issuable as unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock, declared through December 31, 2024, and (iii) 719,061 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the sale, issuance and conversion of 719,061 shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock without any further consideration. The number of shares of preferred stock designated as Series B Preferred Stock is 5,000,000. The stated value of the Series B Preferred Stock is $2.38 per share. The right to receive dividends and the liquidation rights of the Series B Preferred Stock will automatically expire on December 31, 2026, and the number of shares of the Common Stock that a holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive shall not exceed the maximum percentage chosen by the holder, which is initially set at between 4.99% and 19.99% of the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock at the time of the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shares until the stockholder approval is obtained. Following the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock, it will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.

Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of common stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder. Solely for purposes of voting rights, the conversion price is $3.80 per share. The 4,280,939 shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding therefore represent 2,342,500 votes (two holders have fewer votes than they would otherwise be entitled to due to the respective maximum voting percentage cap chosen by each of the two holders).

Stockholder Approval

A vote in favor of this Proposal Three is a vote “for” approval of the issuance of shares of our Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. The conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock could result in the issuance of up to 2,031,804 shares of Common Stock that has not yet been approved by Stockholders (the difference between the total of 5,870,039 shares issuable and the 3,838,235 shares approved at the annual meeting of Stockholders that took place on August 15, 2024), which is 20% or more of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

Our Common Stock is listed on the NYSE American and, as such, we are subject to the rules set forth in the NYSE American LLC Company Guide. Subject to certain exceptions, NYSE American Company Guide Section 713(a) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of common stock in any transaction or series of transactions if (i) the shares of common stock will have upon issuance voting power equal to 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of the common stock or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued will upon issuance equal 20% or more of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the common stock, in each case, subject to certain exceptions.

Potential Adverse Effects - Dilution and Impact on Existing Stockholders

The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock will have a dilutive effect on current stockholders in that the percentage ownership of the Company held by such current stockholders will decline as a result of the conversions. This means also that our current stockholders will own a smaller interest in us as a result of the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock and therefore have less ability to influence significant corporate decisions requiring stockholder approval. The issuance of shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock could also have a dilutive effect on the book value per share and any future earnings per share. Dilution of equity interests could also cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decline.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE APPROVAL OF ISSUANCE OF 20% OR MORE OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UPON CONVERSION OF SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK.

PROPOSAL FOUR:

AUTHORIZATION TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING

If the Annual Meeting is convened and a quorum is present, but there are not sufficient votes to approve the forgoing proposals described in this Proxy Statement, the Company may move to adjourn the Annual Meeting at that time in order to enable our Board to solicit additional proxies.

In this Proposal Four, we are asking our Stockholders to authorize the Company to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time and place, if necessary or advisable, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes to approve the forgoing proposals, each as described in this Proxy Statement. If our Stockholders approve this Proposal Four, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting and any adjourned 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 could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat the forgoing proposals, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting without a vote on such proposals and seek to convince our Stockholders to change their votes in favor of such proposals.

If it is necessary or advisable to adjourn the Annual Meeting, no notice of the adjourned 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, so long as the meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If, however, after the adjournment the Board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting, a notice of adjourned meeting, shall be provided to each Stockholder of record on the new record date entitled to vote at such meeting.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter at the Annual Meeting is required to approve this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the enclosed form will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the best judgment and in the discretion of the persons voting the proxies.
