INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING AND VOTING

Why are we calling this Special Meeting?

We are calling the Special Meeting to seek the approval of our stockholders:

1. To approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to, at the discretion of our Board of Directors, effect one or more reverse stock splits over the course of the next two years (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with respect to our issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “common stock”), including any common stock held by the Company as treasury shares, at any time prior to or on February 23, 2028, at a ratio of 1-for-40 to 1-for-800 (the “Range”) provided that the aggregate splits will not exceed 1-for-800, with the ratio within such Range to be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors (or any of its delegated authorized persons) without further approval or authorization of our stockholders (such action is referred to herein as the “Reverse Stock Split” and such proposal is referred to herein as the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal” or “Proposal 1”);

What are the Board’s recommendations?

Our Board believes that the approval of the proposals are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends that you vote FOR each Proposal.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Our Board has established the close of business on January 20, 2026, as the “record date” for the Special Meeting. This means that you are entitled to notice of, and to vote, at the Special Meeting (and any continuations, adjournments and postponements thereof) if our records show that you owned our common stock at that time. As of the record date, [•] shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock as of the record date is entitled to one vote on each matter properly to come before the Special Meeting and can be voted only if the record owner of that share, determined as of the record date, votes during the live webcast of the meeting or is represented by proxy.

If available, you may vote by e-mail or fax by following the instructions provided on the proxy card. If your shares are not held in your name and instead are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and the Notice is being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Special Meeting by registering at [•]. Since you are not the stockholder of record for any shares held in street name, you may not vote your shares at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker or other agent and provide that in addition to a completed voting form indicating your vote to vote@vstocktransfer.com prior to the Special Meeting.

Can I change my mind after I vote?

You may change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Special Meeting. You may do this by:

• signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us prior to the Special Meeting; or

• voting again during the virtual Special Meeting or e-mail or fax prior to the Special Meeting.

Your attendance at the Special Meeting will not have the effect of revoking a proxy unless you take any of the actions noted above.

May stockholders ask questions?

Yes. Representatives of the Company will answer stockholders’ questions of general interest after the adjournment of the Special Meeting. Depending upon the number of persons asking questions, the Chairman of the meeting may limit the number of questions one person may ask in order to give a greater number of stockholders an opportunity to ask questions.

Questions will be answered as time allows.

Who will count the votes?

The Company’s transfer agent, VStock will utilize its voting system to collect and process votes for beneficial holder and will coordinate with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to gather information with regard to votes submitted by brokers and tabulate the final voting count. A representative of VStock an independent inspector who is not affiliated with the Company or any director, director nominee or officer of the Company, will count the votes and will serve as the inspector of election.

Table of Contents

What constitutes a quorum?

The holders of at least thirty-three and one-third percent (33 1/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote at such meeting, present by remote communication or represented by proxy, constitutes a quorum. If you sign and return your paper proxy card or authorize a proxy to vote electronically or telephonically, your shares will be counted to determine whether we have a quorum even if you abstain or fail to vote as indicated in the proxy materials.

Broker non-votes will also be considered present for the purpose of determining whether there is a quorum for the Special Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

It means that you have multiple accounts with brokers and/or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker and/or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent is VStock, which may be reached at (212) 828-8436.

Will my shares be voted if I do not provide my proxy?

Your shares may be voted if they are held in the name of a brokerage firm, even if you do not provide the brokerage firm with voting instructions. Brokerage firms have the authority under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to vote shares for which their customers do not provide voting instructions on certain “routine” matters. The proposals to be voted on at our Special Meeting are not considered “routine” under applicable rules. When a proposal is not a routine matter and the brokerage firm has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares with respect to that proposal, the brokerage firm cannot vote the shares on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals.

How many votes are needed to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, Delaware Reincorporation Proposal and Increase of Authorized Stock Proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares as of the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, the Delaware Reincorporation Proposal and the Increase of Authorized Stock Proposal. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1, Proposal 2 and Proposal 3. Accordingly, it is particularly important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares.

How many votes are needed to elect directors?

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes properly cast in person, by remote communication, or by proxy. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” for each nominee. Unless you mark “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular nominee or nominees, your proxy will be voted “FOR” each of the director nominees named in this proxy statement. If a quorum is present and voting, the five (5) nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. In an uncontested election, a nominee will be elected as a director if the number of “FOR” votes exceeds the number of votes withholding authority. In a contested election, a nominee will be elected director if he receives more votes than another nominee. Thus, the five (5) directors with the most votes “FOR” will be elected to the Board. Broker non-votes and withheld votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on directors.

How many votes are needed to approve the Adjournment Proposal?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the results of this vote.

If I hold my shares in street name, will my broker, bank or other holder of record vote my shares for me?

If you hold your shares of common stock in street name, you must provide your broker, bank and/or other holder of record with instructions in order to vote these shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, whether your shares can be voted depends on the type of item being considered for a vote.

Table of Contents

Non-Discretionary Items. The Reverse Stock Split, the Delaware Reincorporation, the approval of the increase of authorized stock and the election of directors are non-discretionary items and may NOT be voted on by your broker, bank and/or other holder of record absent specific voting instructions from you. If you do not provide your bank, broker and/or other holder of record with voting instructions, your shares of common stock will be represented by “broker non-votes” in the case of these proposals.

Discretionary Items. The approval of the adjournment of the Special Meeting for solicitation to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary or appropriate, is a discretionary item. Generally, brokers, banks and/or other holders of record that do not receive voting instructions from you may vote on these proposals in their discretion and these votes will be counted for purposes of determining a quorum.

Is voting confidential?

We will keep all the proxies, ballots and voting tabulations private. We only let our Inspector of Election, a representative of VStock, examine these documents. Management will not know how you voted on a specific proposal unless it is necessary to meet legal requirements. We will, however, forward to management any written comments you make on the proxy card or that you otherwise provide.

When will the Company announce the voting results?

The Company may announce preliminary voting results after the adjournment of the Special Meeting and will announce the final voting results of the Special Meeting on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days after the Special Meeting.

What if other matters are presented for consideration at the Special Meeting?

The Company knows of no other matters to be submitted to the stockholders at the Special Meeting, other than those described herein. If other matters do arise, the Board has made no recommendation as to how the proxies will vote on such other matters. If any other matters properly come before the stockholders at the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named on the proxy card as proxies to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in their discretion and in accordance with their best judgment.

Whom do I call if I have questions?

If you have questions about the proposals or if you need additional copies of the Proxy Statement or the enclosed proxy card you should contact the Company at (786) 389-9771.

You may also obtain additional information about the Company from documents filed with the SEC by following the instructions in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information”.

PROPOSAL 1 — APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

Overview

Our Articles of Incorporation currently authorizes the Company to issue a total of 350,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share. On January 15, 2026, subject to stockholder approval, our Board approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to, at the discretion of our Board, effect one or more Reverse Stock Split over the course of the next two years of our common stock at a ratio of between 1-for-40 to 1-for-800, provided that the aggregate splits will not exceed a ratio of 1-for-800, including any shares held by the Company as treasury shares, at any time prior to or on February 23, 2028, with the exact ratio within such Range to be determined by our Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) at its or their discretion without further approval or authorization of our stockholders. We believe that the Range provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split. In determining whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split following the receipt of stockholder approval, our Board may consider, among other things, factors such as:

• the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;

• the then prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our common stock;

• our ability to have our shares of common stock remain listed on Nasdaq;

• the anticipated impact of the reverse stock split on our ability to raise additional financing; and

• prevailing market and economic conditions.

If our Board determines, in its sole discretion, that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company for purposes of maintaining the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq or otherwise to improve liquidity and marketability of the Company’s common stock, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada subject to any changes that may be required by the Nevada Secretary of State or any applicable law. The amendment filed thereby will set forth the number of shares of common stock to be combined into one share of our common stock within the limits set forth in this proposal. Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, each stockholder will hold the same percentage of our outstanding common stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as such stockholder holds immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split.

Our Board believes that approval of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split at their discretion is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders and, as a result, the Board has unanimously recommended that the proposed amendment be presented to our stockholders for approval.

Reverse Stock Split

The actual timing for implementation of the Reverse Stock Split is expected to be at any time prior to or on February 23, 2028. However, notwithstanding approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal by our stockholders, the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) will have the sole authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split and not amend our Certificate of Incorporation if it determines between now and February 23, 2028 that not consummating the Reverse Stock Split would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, prior to amending the Articles of Incorporation and filing the Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment (as defined below) with the Secretary of State for the State of Nevada, the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) will make a determination as to whether effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders in light of, among other things, the per share price of the common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split and the expected stability of the per share price of the common stock following the Reverse Stock Split. If the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect the Reverse Stock Split, it will determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split. For additional information concerning the factors the Board will consider in deciding whether to effect the Reverse Stock Split, see “— Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio” and “— Board Discretion to Effect the Reverse Stock Split.”

Table of Contents

Although we presently intend to effect the Reverse Stock Split when and if necessary to maintain compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s minimum bid price requirement (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”), under Section 78.390 of NRS, our Board will have a right not to effect the Reverse Stock Split, notwithstanding our stockholders’ adoption of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and to not file with the Secretary of State in the State of Nevada the Reverse Stock Split Amendment. Our Board may consider a variety of factors in determining whether or not to effect the Reverse Stock Split and if so, the appropriate range within the Range, including overall trends in the stock market, recent changes and anticipated trends in the per-share market price of our common stock, business developments and our actual and projected financial performance.

The text of the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split is included as Annex A to this Proxy Statement (the “Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment”). If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, we will have the authority to file the Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Incorporation Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, which will become effective upon its filing or the effective time set forth in the Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment. The Board has determined that the amendment is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and has submitted the amendment for consideration by our stockholders at the Special Meeting.

Reasons for the Reverse Split and Factors to Consider

The purpose for the Reverse Stock Split is based on the Board’s belief that the Reverse Stock Split may be necessary to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq or to increase the liquidity and marketability of our common stock.

Maintain our listing on Nasdaq. Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Among other rules, the Company must be in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”), where the closing bid price of the common stock must not fall below $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive business days.

The Company may effect the Reverse Stock Split prior to potential noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, but, if in the future the Company fails to comply with the Minimum Bid Requirement and is required to cure the minimum bid price deficiency, the Company may effect a reserve stock split as a way to regain compliance. In the event that our stock price satisfies the Minimum Bid Requirement of at least $1.00 for at least ten (10) consecutive business days without requiring the Reverse Stock Split, the Board may not implement the Reverse Stock Split. However, if we do not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that our shares of common stock will be subject to delisting. We intend to monitor the closing bid price for our common stock and will consider available options to resolve any potential noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, as may be necessary, so to avoid delisting. The Board has considered the potential harm to the Company and its stockholders should Nasdaq delist our common stock from Nasdaq. Delisting our common stock could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock because alternatives, such as the OTC QX, OTC QB and the “pink sheets,” are generally considered to be less efficient markets. An investor likely would find it less convenient to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations in seeking to buy our common stock on an over-the-counter market. Many investors likely would not buy or sell our common stock due to difficulty in accessing over-the-counter markets, policies preventing them from trading in securities not listed on a national exchange or other reasons. The Board believes that the Reverse Stock Split is a potentially effective means for us to maintain compliance with the rules of Nasdaq and to avoid, or at least mitigate, the likely adverse consequences of our common stock being delisted from Nasdaq by producing the immediate effect of increasing the bid price of our common stock.

Improve the marketability and liquidity of the common stock. In the event that the Board elects to implement the Reverse Stock Split in order to avoid the delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq, we also believe that the increased market price of our common stock expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Stock Split will improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock and will encourage interest and trading in our common stock. A reverse stock split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our common stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the liquidity of our common stock. A reverse stock split could help increase analyst and broker interest in our stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and

Table of Contents

practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. It should be noted, however, that the liquidity of our common stock may in fact be adversely affected by the proposed Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares of common stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.

For the above reasons, we believe that providing the Board with the ability to effect the Reverse Stock Split, in the event that it determines, in its sole discretion, that implementing the Reverse Stock Split will help us regain and/or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements and, as a result, could also improve the marketability and liquidity of our common stock, is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. However, regardless as to whether or not the Board believes that implementing the Reverse Stock Split could help us regain and maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, the Board reserves the right not to implement the Reverse Stock Split if it determines, in its sole discretion, that it otherwise would not be in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure you that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will increase our stock price and have the desired effect of maintaining compliance with the rules of Nasdaq. The Board expects that the Reverse Stock Split of our common stock would increase the market price of our common stock so that we are able to maintain and/or regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price listing standard, in case of noncompliance. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of our common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar reverse stock splits for companies in like circumstances is varied. Under applicable Nasdaq rules, in order to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement and maintain our listing on Nasdaq, the $1.00 closing bid price must be maintained for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. In determining whether to monitor the bid price beyond ten business days, Nasdaq will consider the following four factors: (1) margin of compliance (the amount by which the price is above the $1.00 minimum standard); (2) trading volume (a lack of trading volume may indicate a lack of bona fide market interest in the security at the posted bid price); (3) the market maker montage (the number of market makers quoting at or above $1.00 and the size of their quotes); and (4) the trend of the stock price. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our Nasdaq listing if and after the Reverse Stock Split is effected or that the market price per share after the Reverse Stock Split will exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time.

It is possible that the per share price of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, and the market price per post-Reverse Stock Split share may not exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time, and the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks. Even if we effect the Reverse Stock Split, the market price of our common stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the stock split. In any case, the market price of our common stock may also be based on other factors which may be unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance. If the Reverse Stock Split is consummated and the trading price of the common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split. Even if the market price per post-Reverse Stock Split share of our common stock remains in excess of $1.00 per share, we may be delisted due to a failure to meet other continued listing requirements, including Nasdaq requirements related to the minimum stockholders’ equity, the minimum number of shares that must be in the public float, the minimum market value of the public float and the minimum number of round lot holders.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our common stock. The liquidity of our common stock may be harmed by the proposed Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares of common stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effects. In addition, investors might consider the increased proportion of unissued authorized shares of common stock to issued shares to have an anti-takeover effect under certain circumstances, because the proportion allows for dilutive issuances which could prevent certain stockholders from changing the composition of the Board or render tender offers for a combination with another entity more difficult to successfully complete. The Board does not intend for the Reverse Stock Split to have any anti-takeover effects.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Issued and Outstanding Shares.

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, it will reduce the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock, including any shares held by the Company as treasury shares, by a Reverse Stock Split ratio of 1-for-40 to 1-for-800 over the course of the next two years, provided that the aggregate splits will not exceed a ratio of 1-for-800. Accordingly, each of our stockholders will own fewer shares of common stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split would result in fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split, which will be treated as described below. Therefore, voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of common stock will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). Common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and nonassessable, and the par value per share of common stock will remain $0.0001. We expect that the market price for our common stock will be commensurately increased as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, but there can be no guarantee that this will be the case, or that any such increased stock price will be maintained for any amount of time.

As of the close of business on the record date, approximately 21,371,656 shares of our common stock were outstanding. For purposes of illustration only, if the Reverse Stock Split is effected at a ratio of 1-for-100, the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock after the Reverse Stock Split would be approximately 213,716 shares (not accounting for the treatment of fractional shares, as described below).

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Voting Rights.

Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of common stock would not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split (other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 1% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock immediately prior to the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split would continue to hold 1% of the voting power of the outstanding common stock after the Reverse Stock Split (subject to potential differences due to the treatment of fractional shares).

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Regulatory Matters and Listing.

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and we are subject to the “public company” periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. If implemented, the proposed Reverse Stock Split will not affect our status as a public company or this registration under the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

Our shares of common stock currently trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If implemented, the Reverse Stock Split will not directly affect the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, although we believe that the Reverse Stock Split could potentially increase our stock price, facilitating compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. Following the Reverse Stock Split, our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “YHC”, although our common stock would have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures, or CUSIP number, a number used to identify our common stock.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Authorized Share Capital.

We have 350,000,000 are shares of common stock. If implemented, the Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock as designated. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock will decrease, the number of shares of common stock remaining available for issuance by us in the future will increase. Such additional shares will be available for issuance from time to time for corporate purposes such as issuances of common stock in connection with capital-raising transactions and

Table of Contents

acquisitions of companies or other assets, as well as for issuance upon conversion or exercise of securities such as convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, warrants or equity awards convertible into or exercisable for common stock. We believe that the availability of the additional shares of common stock will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond effectively in a changing corporate environment. For example, we may elect to issue shares of common stock to raise equity capital, to make acquisitions through the use of stock, to establish strategic relationships with other companies, to adopt additional employee benefit plans or reserve additional shares of common stock for issuance under such plans, where the Board determines it advisable to do so, without the necessity of soliciting further stockholder approval, subject to applicable stockholder vote requirements under Nevada law and Nasdaq rules. If we issue additional shares of common stock for any of these purposes or other purposes, the aggregate ownership interest of our current stockholders, and the interest of each such existing stockholder, will be diluted, possibly substantially.

The additional shares of our common stock that would become available for issuance upon an effective Reverse Stock Split could also be used by us to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent a change of control or changes in or removal of our management, including any transaction that may be favored by a majority of our stockholders or in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares of common stock over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the increased proportion of authorized but unissued shares of common stock to issued shares of common stock could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, the Reverse Stock Split is not being proposed in order to respond to a hostile takeover attempt or to an attempt to obtain control of the Company.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on the Number of Shares of Common Stock Available for Future Issuance.

Although the Reverse Stock Split would not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the Reverse Stock Split without a reduction in the number of shares authorized for issuance would reduce the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance, giving us an effective increase in the authorized shares available for issuance. The Board from time to time may deem it to be in the best interests of the Company to enter into transactions and other ventures that may include the issuance of shares of our common stock. Although the Board currently has no plans to do so, if the Board authorizes the issuance of additional shares subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split at any point in the future, the dilution to the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be greater than the dilution that would have occurred had the Reverse Stock Split not been effected.

Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio

The Board believes that stockholder approval of the Range is in the best interests of our Company and stockholders because it is not possible to predict market conditions at the time the Reverse Stock Split would be implemented. We believe that the Range provides us with the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split ratio to be selected by our Board will be not more than 1-for-800, in the aggregate, over the course of the next two years.

The selection of the specific Reverse Stock Split ratio will be based on several factors, including, among other things:

• our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq;

• the expectation that having a share price over a certain threshold may be seen as a more attractive investment to potential investors;

• the per share price of our common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split;

• the expected stability of the per share price of our common stock following the Reverse Stock Split;

• the likelihood that the Reverse Stock Split will result in increased marketability and liquidity of our common stock;

• prevailing market conditions;

• general economic conditions in our industry; and

• our market capitalization before and after the Reverse Stock Split.

Table of Contents

We believe that granting our Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) the authority to set the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split is essential because it allows us to take these factors into consideration and to react to changing market conditions. We will make a public announcement regarding the determination of the actual Reverse Stock Split ratio once such ratio has been determined and the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) has determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split.

Board Discretion to Effect the Reverse Stock Split

The actual timing for implementation of the Reverse Stock Split is expected to be prior to or on February 23, 2028. However, notwithstanding approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal by our stockholders, the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) will have the sole authority to abandon the Reverse Stock Split and not amend our Certificate of Incorporation if it determines between now and February 23, 2028 that not consummating the Reverse Stock Split would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. This determination by the Board will be based upon a variety of factors, including those discussed under “— Determination of the Reverse Stock Split Ratio” above. If the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect the Reverse Stock Split, it will determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split.

Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split

If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our stockholders, the Reverse Stock Split is expected to become effective prior to or on February 23, 2028 unless the Board (or any of its delegated authorized persons) determines between now and February 23, 2028, that not consummating the Reverse Stock Split would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, according to the effective time set forth in the Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Incorporation Amendment.

Accounting Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split would not affect the par value of our common stock, which would remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our common stock would be reduced by the ratio approved by the Board within the Range.

In other words, stated capital would be reduced by the ratio approved by the Board within the Range, and the additional paid-in capital account would be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per-share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock would be increased because there would be fewer shares of our common stock outstanding.

Fractional Shares

We will not issue fractional certificates for post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. In lieu of issuing fractions of shares, we will round up to the next whole number at the participant level.

No Dissenters’ Rights

Under Nevada law, our stockholders would not be entitled to dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal in connection with the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. It does not address any state, local or foreign income or other tax consequences, which, depending upon the jurisdiction and the status of the stockholder/taxpayer, may vary from the United States federal income tax consequences. It applies to you only if you held pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock as capital assets for United States

Table of Contents

federal income tax purposes. This discussion does not apply to you if you are a member of a class of our stockholders subject to special rules, such as (a) a dealer in securities or currencies, (b) a trader in securities that elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for your securities holdings, (c) a bank, (d) a life insurance company, (e) a tax-exempt organization, (f) a person that owns shares of common stock that are a hedge, or that are hedged, against interest rate risks, (g) a person who owns shares of common stock as part of a straddle or conversion transaction for tax purposes or (h) a person whose functional currency for tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar. The discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), its legislative history, existing, temporary and proposed regulations under the Internal Revenue Code, published rulings and court decisions, all as of the date hereof. These laws, regulations and other guidance are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

Tax Consequences to United States Holders of common stock. A United States holder, as used herein, is a stockholder who or that is, for United States federal income tax purposes: (a) a citizen or individual resident of the United States, (b) a domestic corporation, (c) an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, or (d) a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more United States persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust. This discussion applies only to United States holders.

Except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares of common stock as described above, no gain or loss should be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholders exchange of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock for post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, and the aggregate adjusted basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock received will be the same as the aggregate adjusted basis of the common stock exchanged for such new shares. The stockholder’s holding period for the post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock will include the period during which the stockholder held the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock surrendered.

Accounting Consequences

Following the Effective Date of the Reverse Stock Split, if any, the net income or loss and net book value per share of common stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. We do not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Exchange of Stock Certificates

As of the Effective Date, each certificate representing shares of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split will be deemed, for all corporate purposes, to evidence ownership of the reduced number of shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split. All shares underlying options, warrants and other securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into common stock also automatically will be adjusted on the Effective Date.

Our transfer agent, VStock, will act as the exchange agent for purposes of exchanging stock certificates subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split. Shortly after the Effective Date, stockholders of record will receive written instructions requesting them to complete and return a letter of transmittal and surrender their old stock certificates for new stock certificates reflecting the adjusted number of shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Certificates representing shares of common stock issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split will continue to bear the same restrictive legends, if any, that were borne by the surrendered certificates representing the shares of common stock outstanding prior to the Reverse Stock Split. No new certificates will be issued until such stockholder has surrendered any outstanding certificates, together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. Until surrendered, each certificate representing shares of common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split would continue to be valid and would represent the adjusted number of shares of common stock, based on the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split.

Table of Contents

Any stockholder whose stock certificates are lost, destroyed or stolen will be entitled to a new certificate or certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock upon compliance with the requirements that we and our transfer agent customarily apply in connection with lost, destroyed or stolen certificates. Instructions as to lost, destroyed or stolen certificates will be included in the letter of instructions from the exchange agent.

Upon the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, we intend to treat stockholders holding our common stock in “street name”, through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares of common stock are registered in their names. Banks, brokers and other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in “street name”. However, such banks, brokers and other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. If you hold your shares in “street name” with a bank, broker or other nominee, and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your bank, broker or nominee.

FOLLOWING THE DATE OF THE MEETING, STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO HOLD THEIR EXISTING SHARE CERTIFICATES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE STOCKHOLDERS APPROVE PROPOSAL 2 TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK.

YOU SHOULD NOT DESTROY YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES AND YOU SHOULD NOT SEND THEM NOW. YOU SHOULD SEND YOUR STOCK CERTIFICATES ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE TRANSFER AGENT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY AND YOU SHOULD NOT TAKE ANY OTHER ACTION WITH RESPECT TO YOUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SOLELY AS A RESULT OF THIS PROPOSAL 2.

If any certificates for shares of common stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificates for shares of common stock surrendered are registered, the stockholder requesting the reissuance will be required to pay to us any transfer taxes or establish to our satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable and, in addition, (a) the transfer must comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (b) the surrendered certificate must be properly endorsed and otherwise be in proper form for transfer.

Book-Entry

The Company’s registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of common stock registered in their accounts.

• If you hold registered shares of common stock in book-entry form, you do not need to take any action to receive your post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock in registered book-entry form.

• If you are entitled to post-Reverse Stock Split shares of common stock, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to your address of record by our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Date indicating the number of shares of common stock that you hold.

Effect of Approval

Approval of this Proposal One will constitute approval of a new Article of the Certificate of Incorporation, attached hereto as Annex A. If this Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved, the Company intends to file a certificate of amendment to the existing Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware providing for the Reverse Stock Split, in which case the Reverse Stock Split will become effective at the time of that filing, or such later time as is set forth in the certificate of amendment. However, as discussed above, the Reverse Stock Split will only be effected upon a determination by the Board, in its sole discretion, that filing the Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Incorporation Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of our Company and stockholders. All stockholders are encouraged to read the amendment to the existing Certificate of Incorporation in its entirety as set forth in Annex A.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares as of the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted, if any, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST.”

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL.

(PROPOSAL 1 ON YOUR PROXY CARD).

PROPOSAL 2 — APPROVAL OF THE DELAWARE REINCORPORATION PROPOSAL

The Board has determined to recommend that our stockholders approve the conversion of the Company from a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada to a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware pursuant to a Plan of Conversion (the “Plan of Conversion”) attached as Annex B to this proxy statement (the “Delaware Reincorporation”), as more fully described in this Proposal 2, and has determined that the Delaware Reincorporation is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Principal Terms of the Delaware Conversion

The Delaware Reincorporation, if approved by our stockholders, will be effected through a conversion pursuant to Section 265 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and Section 92A.120 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended (the “NRS”), as set forth in the Plan of Conversion. Approval of the Delaware Reincorporation Proposal will constitute approval of the Plan of Conversion.

Through the adoption of the Plan of Conversion, upon the effectiveness of the Delaware Reincorporation:

• The Company will continue in existence as a Delaware corporation and will continue to operate our business under its current name, LQR House Inc.,

• The affairs of the Company will cease to be governed by Nevada law at the time the Plan of Conversion is effective and will be subject to Delaware law. See “Certain Effects of the Change in State of Incorporation” below.

• The Company will cease to be governed by our existing charter and bylaws and will be instead subject to the provisions of the proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the proposed Bylaws, forms of which are included as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, to this Proxy Statement.

• Pursuant to the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation, at the time the Plan of Conversion is effective the Company’s authorized capitalization will now be comprised of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 500,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

• The Delaware Reincorporation will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, properties, location of any of our offices or facilities, number of employees, obligations, assets, liabilities or net worth.

• Each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share will automatically become one outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Delaware pursuant to the Plan of Conversion and stockholders will not need to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates.

• Our common stock will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “YHC.” We do not expect any interruption in the trading of our common stock as a result of the Delaware Reincorporation.

If our stockholders approve the Delaware Reincorporation, we anticipate that it will become effective as soon as practicable following the Special Meeting (the “Effective Time”).

Reasons for the Delaware Reincorporation

There are a number of reasons why Delaware is an attractive state for the incorporation of the Company and why the Delaware Reincorporation is in the interests of our stockholders. For many years, Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in that state. To advance that policy, Delaware has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible corporate laws that are updated and revised periodically to meet changing business needs. As a result, many major corporations have initially chosen Delaware for their domicile or have subsequently reincorporated in Delaware. Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate

Table of Contents

issues. In doing so, Delaware courts have created a substantial body of case law construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. Our Board believes that this environment provides greater predictability with respect to corporate legal affairs and allows a corporation to be managed more efficiently.

The procedures and degree of stockholder approval required for Delaware corporations for the authorization of additional shares of stock, and for approval of certain mergers and other transactions, present fewer practical impediments to the time-sensitive capital raising process than those which apply to Nevada corporations. For example, a Delaware corporation has greater flexibility in declaring dividends, which can aid a corporation in marketing various classes or series of dividend paying securities. Under Delaware law, dividends may be paid out of surplus, or if there is no surplus, out of net profits from the corporation’s previous fiscal year or the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared, or both, so long as there remains in the stated capital account an amount equal to the par value represented by all shares of the corporation’s stock, if any, having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Under Nevada law, dividends may be paid by the corporation unless after giving effect to the distribution, the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they come due in the usual course of business, or (unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation permit otherwise) the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities, plus amounts payable in dissolution to holders of shares carrying a liquidation preference over the class of shares to which a dividend is declared. These and other differences between Nevada’s and Delaware’s corporate laws are more fully explained below.

Certain Effects of the Change in State of Incorporation

The Delaware Reincorporation will effect a change in the our legal domicile; however, the Delaware Reincorporation will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of offices or facilities, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Delaware Reincorporation, which are immaterial). Management, including the directors and officers, will remain the same in connection with the Delaware Reincorporation. There will be no substantive change in the employment agreements for executive officers or in other direct or indirect interests of the current directors or executive officers as a result of the Delaware Reincorporation. Upon the Effective Time of the Delaware Reincorporation, each share of our Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall by virtue of the Delaware Reincorporation and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into one (1) share of fully-paid and non-assessable Common Stock of LQR House Inc., a Nevada corporation.

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws will be the governing instruments of the Company, resulting in some changes from the current Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended of the Company, which are primarily procedural in nature, such as a change in the registered office and agent of the Company from an office and agent in Nevada to an office and agent in Delaware.

The following chart summarizes some of the material differences between the Delaware General Corporations Law (the “DGCL”) and the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). This chart does not address each difference between Delaware law and Nevada law, but focuses on some of those differences which the Company believes are most relevant to the existing stockholders. This chart is not intended as an exhaustive list of all differences, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Delaware and Nevada law.

Delaware		Nevada
Removal of Directors
The DGCL permits the holders of a majority of shares of a corporation without a classified board then entitled to vote in an election of directors, to remove directors, with or without cause.		Under Nevada law, any one or all of the directors of a corporation may be removed by the holders of not less than two-thirds of the voting power of a corporation’s issued and outstanding stock. Nevada does not distinguish between removal of directors with or without cause.

Table of Contents

Delaware		Nevada
Dividends and other Distributions
Section 170 of the DGCL permits the directors of a corporation, subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, to declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock, either (1) out of its surplus, as computed in accordance with the DGCL, or (2) in case there is no surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. But such dividends cannot be declared out of net profits if the capital of the corporation, has diminished by depreciation in the value of its property, or by losses or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets. Section 174 of the DGCL also imposes on any director under whose administration distributions are declared in violation of the foregoing provision, personal liability to a corporation’s creditors in the event of its dissolution or insolvency, up to the full amount of the unlawful distribution, for a period of 6 years following a dividend declaration, unless such director’s dissent was recorded in the minutes of the proceedings approving the distribution.		Nevada law prohibits distributions to stockholders when the distributions would (i) render the corporation unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and (ii) render the corporation’s total assets less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. Section 78.300 of the NRS imposes on any director under whose administration distributions are declared in violation of the foregoing provision, personal liability to a corporation’s creditors in the event of its dissolution or insolvency, up to the full amount of the unlawful distribution, for a period of 3 years following a dividend declaration, unless such director’s dissent was recorded in the minutes of the proceedings approving the distribution.
Limitation of Liability
A Delaware corporation is permitted to adopt provisions in its certificate of incorporation limiting or eliminating the liability of a director to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or liability to the corporation based on unlawful dividends or distributions or improper personal benefit.		Under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that: (a) his act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and (b) his breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.
Indemnification
Under the DGCL, the indemnification of directors and officers is authorized to cover judgments, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses arising out of non-derivative actions where the director or officer acted in good faith and in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in criminal cases, where the director or officer had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless limited or denied by the corporation’s certificate of incorporation, indemnification is required to the extent of a director’s or officer’s successful defense. Additionally, under the DGCL, a corporation may reimburse directors and officers for expenses incurred in a derivative action.		In suits that are not brought by or in the right of the corporation, Nevada law permits a corporation to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents for attorney’s fees and other expenses, judgments and amounts paid in settlement. The person seeking indemnity may recover as long as he acted in good faith and believed his actions were either in the best interests of or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Similarly, the person seeking indemnification must not have had any reason to believe his conduct was unlawful. In derivative suits, a corporation may indemnify its agents for expenses that the person actually and reasonably incurred. A corporation may not indemnify a person if the person was adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless a court otherwise orders. No corporation may indemnify a party unless it makes a determination, through its stockholders, directors or independent counsel, that the indemnification is proper.

Nevada law allows the board of directors of a corporation, unless restricted by the articles of incorporation, to increase or decrease the number of authorized shares in the class or series of the corporation’s shares and correspondingly effect a forward or reverse split of any such class or series of the corporation’s shares without a vote of the stockholders, so long as the action taken does not change or alter any right or preference of the stockholder and does not include any provision or provisions pursuant to which only money will be paid or script issued to stockholders who hold 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the affected class and series, and who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractions of shares in exchange for the cancellation of all of their outstanding shares.
Corporate Opportunity
Delaware law provides that contracts or transactions between a corporation and one or more of its officers or directors or an entity in which they have an interest is not void or voidable solely because of such interest or the participation of the director or officer in a meeting of the board or a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction if: (i) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board or the committee, and the board or the committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of disinterested directors; (ii) the material facts as to the relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by a vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.		Under Nevada law, a director breaches her duty of loyalty to the corporation if the director takes a business opportunity that is within the scope of the corporation’s potential business for himself or presents it to another party without first giving the corporation an opportunity to fairly consider the business opportunity. All such opportunities should be presented first to the corporation and fully considered. However, a contract or other transaction is not void or voidable solely because the contract or transaction is between a Nevada corporation and its director if the fact of financial interest is known to the board of directors or committee, and the board or committee authorizes, approves or ratifies the contract or transaction in good faith by a vote sufficient for the purpose without counting the vote of the interested director, and the contract or transaction is fair as to the corporation at the time it is authorized.
Expiration of Proxies
Section 212 of the DGCL provides that the appointment of a proxy with no expiration date may be valid for up to 3 years, but that a proxy may be provided for a longer period. Furthermore, a duly executed proxy may be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, it is coupled with an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally, sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.		Nevada law provides that proxies may not be valid for more than 6 months, unless the proxy is coupled with an interest or the stockholder specifies that the proxy is to continue in force for a longer period.

Shareholder Meeting Quorum Requirements
Section 216 of the DGCL provides that the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of any corporation authorized to issue stock may specify the number of shares having voting power and the number of such shares that must be present or represented by proxy at any meeting in order to constitute a quorum, however, a quorum may not consist of less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting.		Section 78.320(1)(a) of the NRS provides that a quorum may not consist of less than a majority of the stockholders with voting power.
Interested Stockholder Combinations
Delaware has a business combination statute, set forth in §203 of the DGCL, which provides that any person who acquires 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock (thereby becoming an “interested stockholder”) may not engage in certain “business combinations” with the target corporation for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the board of directors of the corporation has approved, prior to the interested stockholder’s acquisition of stock, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, that person owns at least 85% of the corporation’s voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction is commenced (excluding shares owned by persons who are both directors and officers and shares owned by employee stock plans in which participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer), or (iii) the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized by the affirmative vote (at an annual or special meeting and not by written consent) of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.		Section 78.438 of the NRS prohibits a Nevada corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder (any entity or person beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by any of these entities or persons) for a period of two years following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless prior to that date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. Section 78.439 provides that business combinations after the two year period following the date that the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder may also be prohibited unless approved by the corporation’s directors or other stockholders or unless the price and terms of the transaction meet the criteria set forth in the statute.

For purposes of determining whether a person is the “owner” of 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL, ownership is defined broadly to include the right, directly or indirectly, to acquire the stock or to control the voting or disposition of the stock. A business combination is also defined broadly to include (i) mergers and sales or other dispositions of 10% or more of the assets of a corporation with or to an interested stockholder, (ii) certain transactions resulting in the issuance or transfer to the interested stockholder of any stock of the corporation or its subsidiaries, (iii) certain transactions which would result in increasing the proportionate share of the stock of a corporation or its subsidiaries owned by the interested stockholder, and (iv) receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit (except proportionately as a stockholder) of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits. These restrictions placed on interested stockholders by Section 203 of the DGCL do not apply under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) if the corporation’s original certificate of incorporation contains a provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 or (ii) if the corporation, by action of its stockholders, adopts an amendment to its bylaws or certificate of incorporation expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203, provided that such an amendment is approved by the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote and that such an amendment will not be effective until 12 months after its adoption (except for limited circumstances where effectiveness will occur immediately) and will not apply to any business combination with a person who became an interested stockholder at or prior to such adoption.

PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF THE INCREASE OF AUTHORIZED STOCK PROPOSAL

Our Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. Upon consultation with our management, our Board unanimously approved, and unanimously recommends for stockholder approval, the proposal to adopt a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Amendment”), to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 350,000,000 shares to 1,500,000,000 shares, each share of common stock having a par value of $0.0001. The form of the text of the amendment (which would be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on its then prescribed form of Certificate of Amendment) is set forth as Annex A to this proxy statement (subject to any changes required by applicable law).

As of the record date, there were 21,371,656 shares of common stock outstanding. The additional shares of common stock to be authorized by adoption of the amendment would have rights identical to the currently outstanding shares of common stock. Adoption of the amendment would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding common stock, except, to the extent the additional authorized shares are issued, for effects incidental to increasing the number of shares of common stock outstanding, such as dilution of earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of common stock. If the amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada.

The description of the Certificate of Amendment should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the proposed Certificate of Amendment attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Purpose of the Proposal

The approval of the Certificate of Amendment is important for our ongoing business. Our Board believes it would be prudent and advisable to have the additional shares available to provide additional flexibility regarding the potential use of shares of common stock for business and financial purposes in the future. Having an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock would allow us to take prompt action with respect to corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of approving an increase in our authorized shares. The additional shares could be used for various purposes without further stockholder approval. These purposes may include: (i) raising capital, if we have an appropriate opportunity, through offerings of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock; (ii) expanding our business through potential strategic transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, licensing transactions and other business combinations or acquisitions of new product candidates or products; (iii) establishing strategic relationships with other companies; (iv) exchanges of common stock or securities that are convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock for other outstanding securities; (v) utilizing the Company’s ATM facility; and (vi) other general corporate purposes.

We intend to use the additional shares of common stock that will be available to undertake any such issuances described above. As is the case with the shares of common stock which are currently authorized but unissued, if the Certificate of Amendment is adopted by the stockholders, the Board will only have authority to issue the additional shares of common stock from time to time without further action on the part of stockholders to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or by the rules of any stock exchange or market on which our securities may then be listed or authorized for quotation. Because it is anticipated that our directors and executive officers will be granted additional equity awards under a plan we adopt in the future, they may be deemed to have an indirect interest in the Certificate of Amendment, because absent the Certificate of Amendment, we may not have sufficient authorized shares to grant such awards.

The increase in authorized shares of our common stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, because our stockholders do not have any preemptive rights, future issuance of shares of common stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of common stock could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, book value per share, and the voting rights of stockholders and could have a negative effect on the price of our common stock.

Disadvantages to an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock may include:

• Stockholders may experience further dilution of their ownership.

• Stockholders will not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of common stock that may be issued in the future, and therefore, future issuances of common stock, depending on the circumstances, will have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and other interests of our existing stockholders.

Table of Contents

• The additional shares of common stock for which authorization is sought in this proposal would be part of the existing class of common stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock presently outstanding.

• The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of us that may otherwise be beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in accordance with the Board’s desires. A takeover may be beneficial to independent stockholders because, among other reasons, a potential suitor may offer such stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price. We do not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

We have no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of common stock subsequent to this proposed increase in the number of authorized shares at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the proposed increase in the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose. However, we have in the past conducted certain public and private offerings of common stock and warrants, and we will continue to require additional capital in the near future to fund our operations. As a result, it is foreseeable that we will seek to issue such additional shares of common stock in connection with any such capital raising activities, or any of the other activities described above. The Board does not intend to issue any common stock or securities convertible into common stock except on terms that the Board deems to be in the best interests of us and our stockholders. We are therefore requesting our stockholders approve this proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized shares of common stock from 350,000,000 shares to 1,500,000,000 shares.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares as of the record date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required for approval of the Increase Authorized Stock Proposal. For the purpose of the vote on this proposal, abstentions, broker non-votes and other shares not voted, if any, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST.”

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE INCREASE AUTHORIZED STOCK PROPOSAL.

Nominees

There are five (5) nominees recommended by the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) for election this year to hold office until the 2027 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders and until their respective successors are elected and qualified. Our Board has nominated: (i) Yilin Lu, (ii) Lijun Chen, (iii) Hong Chun Yeung, (iv) Kah Loong Randy Yeo, and (v) Hon Kit Anthony Kwong, and our management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. Their biographies are provided on pages 25 to 26. The biographies of each of the nominees contain information regarding the person’s service as a director, business experience, public-company director positions held currently or at any time during the last five years, information regarding involvement in certain legal or administrative proceedings, if applicable, and the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that caused the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board to determine that the person should serve as a director for the Company. In addition to the information presented below regarding each nominee’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board to the conclusion that he or she should serve as a director, we also believe that all of our director nominees have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. They each have demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment to service to LQR House and our Board. Finally, we value their significant experience on other public company boards of directors and board committees.

Vote Required

A nominee will be elected as a director if he or she receives a plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, at the Special Meeting. This means that the nominees for election as director who receive the highest number of affirmative votes at the Special Meeting will be elected as director. Withheld votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them “FOR” each of the nominees named above. If any nominee becomes unavailable for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, shares that would have been voted for that nominee will instead be voted for the election of a substitute nominee proposed by our Board.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THESE NOMINEES.

In connection with this evaluation, it is expected that each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will interview the prospective nominee before the prospective nominee is presented to the full Board for consideration. After completing this evaluation and interview process, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will make a recommendation to the full Board as to the person(s) who should be nominated by the Board, and the Board determines the nominee(s) after considering the recommendation and report of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We look for director candidates who have the skills and experience necessary to help us achieve success within our industry.

We believe that each of our directors has the necessary qualifications to be a value-added member of our Board. As noted in the director biographies, our directors have experience, qualifications and skills across a wide range of public and private companies, possessing a broad spectrum of experience both individually and collectively.

There are no arrangements or understanding between any of the directors or the director nominee or officers of our Company or any other person pursuant to which any officer or director or director nominee was or is to be selected as an officer or director or director nominee.

Nominees for Director

The Board nominated Yilin Lu, Lijun Chen, Kah Loong Randy Yeo, Hong Chun Yeung and Hon Kit Anthony Kwong to stand for election for the five (5) Board seats. Each such individual has consented to serve if elected.

Ethical Guidelines

LQR House’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (“Code of Ethics”) was adopted to emphasize the Company’s commitment to the highest standards of business conduct. The Code of Ethics applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Ethics is available on our corporate website at https://invest.lqrhouse.com/governance-documents/.

Table of Contents

The Code of Ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics requires compliance with applicable law, discusses how conflicts of interest are handled, requires familiarity with the Company’s disclosure requirements and provides for waivers under certain circumstances.

We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure as well as by SEC filings, as permitted or required by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four (4) business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Ethics.

Board Leadership

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the Board’s leadership structure and evaluates the performance and effectiveness of the Board. The Board retains the authority to modify its leadership structure in order to stay current with our Company’s circumstances and advance the best interests of the Company and its stockholders as and when appropriate. The Board’s annual self-evaluation includes questions regarding the Board’s opportunities for open communication and the effectiveness of executive sessions.

Director Independence

Our Board is composed of a majority of “independent directors” as defined under the rules of Nasdaq. We use the definition of “independence” applied by Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

• the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

• the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the 3 years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

• the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions);

• the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; and

• the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the Company’s audit.

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and director nominee. Based on the information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board has determined that Hong Chun Yeung, Yilin Lu, Kah Loong Randy Yeo, Lijun Chen and Hon Kit Anthony Kwong are independent directors of the Company.

Role of Board in Risk Oversight Process

The board of directors oversees that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the board’s oversight of the various risks

Table of Contents

facing our company. In this regard, our board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the board oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the board and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

Our board administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration. Much of this work has been delegated to committees, which will meet regularly and report back to the full board. The audit committee oversees risks related to our financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters, the compensation committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with our compensation philosophy and programs, and the nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates risk associated with management decisions and strategic direction.

Board Committees

The Board has established three standing committees: (i) Audit Committee; (ii) Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”); and (iii) Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the committees operates pursuant to its charter. The committee charters will be reviewed annually by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. If appropriate, and in consultation with the chairs of the other committees, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may propose revisions to the charters. The responsibilities of each committee are described in more detail below. After the Special Meeting, Sean Dollinger will no longer be a director of the Company and will not serve on any Board Committees.

Audit Committee.

Kah Loong Randy Yeo, Hong Chun Yeung, and Lijun Chen, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules serve on our audit committee with Kah Loong Randy Yeo serving as the chairman. Our board has determined that Kah Loong Randy Yeo qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.

The audit committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and principal financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (viii) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Compensation Committee.

Lijun Chen, and Kah Loong Randy Yeo each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules serve on our compensation committee, with Lijun Chen serving as the chairman. The members of the compensation committee are also “outside directors” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation relating to our directors and executive officers.

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) making recommendations to the board regarding the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Hong Chun Yeung, Lijun Chen, and Kah Loong Randy Yeo each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq’s rules, serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee, with Kah Loong Randy Yeo, serving as the chairman. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board by reviewing nominees for election to the board submitted by stockholders and recommending to the board director nominees for each annual meeting of stockholders and for election to fill any vacancies on the board; (ii) advising the board with respect to board organization, desired qualifications of board members, the membership, function, operation, structure and composition of committees (including any committee authority to delegate to subcommittees), and self-evaluation and policies; (iii) advising on matters relating to corporate governance and monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; (iv) overseeing compliance with our Code of Ethics; and (v) approving any related party transactions.

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors (other than those proposed by our stockholders, as discussed below) include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources — members of our board of directors, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors, and other research. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.

In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.

In addition, our board of directors may, from time to time, designate one or more additional committees, which shall have the duties and powers granted to it by our board of directors.

Insider Trading Policy

In March 2024, we adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers, and employees, to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and applicable Nasdaq listing standards applicable to us. Our insider trading policy, among other things, prohibits our directors, officers, and employees from holding our securities in a margin account or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan. In addition, our insider trading policy prohibits employees, officers, and directors from engaging in put or call options, short selling, or similar hedging activities involving our stock.

Policies and Practices for Granting Certain Equity Awards

Our policies and practices regarding the granting of equity awards are carefully designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and to maintain the integrity of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the timing and terms of equity awards to executives and other eligible employees.

The timing of equity award grants is determined with consideration to a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the achievement of pre-established performance targets, market conditions and internal milestones. The Company does not follow a predetermined schedule for the granting of equity awards; instead, each grant is considered on a case-by-case basis to align with the Company’s strategic objectives and to ensure the competitiveness of our compensation packages.

In determining the timing and terms of an equity award, the Board or the Compensation Committee may consider material nonpublic information to ensure that such grants are made in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board’s or the Compensation Committee’s procedures to prevent the improper use of material nonpublic information in connection with the granting of equity awards include oversight by legal counsel and, where appropriate, delaying the grant of equity awards until the public disclosure of such material nonpublic information.

The Company is committed to maintaining transparency in its executive compensation practices and to making equity awards in a manner that is not influenced by the timing of the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. The Company regularly reviews its policies and practices related to equity awards to ensure they meet the evolving standards of corporate governance and continue to serve the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
