MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the annual meeting, our stockholders will elect five directors to our board of directors, with each to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. The nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors has recommended, and our board of directors has selected, the following five nominees for election: Mayur Doshi, Donald G.

We believe that each of director nominee possesses high standards of personal and professional ethics, character, integrity, and values; an inquisitive and objective perspective; practical wisdom; mature judgment; diversity in professional experience, skills, and background; a proven record of success in their respective fields; and valuable knowledge of our business and industry. Moreover, each of our director nominees is willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out his duties and responsibilities effectively and is committed to serving us and our stockholders.

Vote Required to Elect the Director Nominees

A plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy by the holders of our common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting are required to elect each director nominee. A “plurality” of the votes cast means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” such nominees are elected as directors. “Votes cast” shall include votes to “withhold authority” (shown as “WITHHOLD ALL” on the enclosed proxy card) and exclude abstentions with respect to that director nominee’s election. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes (which occur if a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a particular director nominee within 10 days of the annual meeting) will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will essentially be no votes.

Voting by Proxy

Properly executed proxies will be voted at the annual meeting in accordance with the instructions specified on the proxy card; if no such instructions are given, the persons named as agents and proxies in the enclosed proxy card will vote such proxy “FOR ALL” of the nominees named in this proxy statement to be elected. Should any nominee become unavailable for election, discretionary authority is conferred to the persons named as agents and proxies in the enclosed proxy card to vote for a substitute.

Pursuant to the power provided to our board of directors in our Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “Bylaws”), our board of directors has set the number of directors that shall constitute our board of directors at five. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named on the enclosed proxy card, and stockholders may not cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR ALL” OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

Overview

Our board of directors has selected CM3 Advisory as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026, and recommends that our stockholders vote to ratify such appointment. CM3 Advisory previously served as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

We do not anticipate representatives from CM3 Advisory to be present at the annual meeting. In the event that a representative of CM3 Advisory is present at the annual meeting, the representative will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and we will allow such representative to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Fees

The following table sets forth the combined fees billed by CM3 Advisory for audit and non-audit services rendered to us in 2025 and 2024.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees
Audit fees	$	138,585	$	268,628
Audit-related fees		—		—
Tax fees		—		30,000
All other fees	$	—	$	27,149
Total fees	$	138,585	$	325,777

Audit Fees. This category includes the aggregate fees and expenses billed for professional services rendered for the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, for reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during those fiscal years and for services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and affiliates in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the relevant fiscal year.

Audit-Related Fees. This category would include the aggregate fees billed for audit-related services by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audits or reviews of the financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees. This category would include the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by the independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance and tax planning.

All Other Fees. This category includes the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm that are not reported above under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” or “Tax Fees.” The fees incurred in 2024 relate to our filing of registration statements with the SEC. No such fees were incurred in 2025.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

Our audit committee is required to pre-approve our fiscal audit and (unless the de minimus exception of applicable law permits) non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent registered certified public accounting firm has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by our audit committee. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, all fees associated with the independent registered public accounting firm’s services were pre-approved by our audit committee.

Our audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated will report any pre-approval decisions to our audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. Our audit committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm to management.

Vote Required for Approval

Our audit committee is not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal. In the event stockholders fail to ratify the appointment of CM3 Advisory, our audit committee may reconsider this appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, our audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the committee determines that such a change would be in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

As required under Section 14A of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and as requested by our stockholders during our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, our board of directors is asking our stockholders to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote. During our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders voted in favor of having this “say-on-pay” vote every calendar year.

Our board of directors believes that our current executive compensation programs directly link executive compensation to our operational performance and align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Our board of directors is of the view that the information in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Executive and Director Compensation” demonstrates that our current executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Accordingly, our board of directors recommends that our stockholders vote “FOR” the advisory approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

Ultimately, our stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the recommendation of our board of directors. This is an advisory vote that is not binding on us, or board of directors, or the compensation committee of our board of directors. However, our board of directors and the compensation committee of our board of directors expect to consider the outcome of this advisory vote when making decisions regarding executive compensation plans, policies, and arrangements.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes entitled to be cast in person (via online attendance) or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon, at the annual meeting, assuming that a quorum is present. Our board of directors and the compensation committee of our board of directors are not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL 3.

PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL TO ADJOURN THE ANNUAL MEETING

Overview

This proposal will be presented to stockholders at the annual meeting to seek their approval of an adjournment to another time or place, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies only if there are insufficient votes at the time of the annual meeting to approve the presented proposals or to constitute a quorum.

If, at the annual meeting, the number of shares present or represented and voting to approve the presented proposals is not sufficient to approve such proposals, or if a quorum is not present, our board of directors currently intends to move to adjourn the annual meeting to solicit additional proxies for the approval of the presented proposals.

In this proposal, we are asking our stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by our board of directors to vote in favor of granting discretionary authority to our board of directors to adjourn the annual meeting to another time and place for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. If the stockholders approve this proposal, our board of directors could adjourn the annual meeting and any later adjourned session of the annual meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from stockholders who have previously voted.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast in person (via online attendance) or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon, at the annual meeting, assuming that a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will essentially be votes against the proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS VOTING “FOR” PROPOSAL 4.

By doing so, you ensure that your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the annual meeting. The proxyholders will vote your shares at the annual meeting as you have instructed them.

In addition, the proxyholders, in their discretion, are further authorized to vote on other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting.

If you hold shares through a bank, broker, other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), please refer to your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and these Proxy Materials, or other information forwarded by your bank, broker, or other nominee to understand the voting options that are available to you.

The method you use to vote will not limit your right to vote at the annual meeting if you decide to attend virtually. If you desire to vote at the annual meeting and hold your shares in “street name,” however, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the holder of record of your shares to be able to vote virtually at the annual meeting.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the annual meeting. If you are the stockholder of record of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

●

You may submit a subsequent proxy by mail with a later date, by using the Internet, or by telephone;

●

You may deliver a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to us at Attn: Dr. Shankar Hariharan, 20 Austin Blvd., Commack, New York 11725; or

●

You may attend the annual meeting virtually and vote your shares at the annual meeting. Simply attending the annual meeting without affirmatively voting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

If you are a beneficial owner of your shares, you must contact the broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions for changing your vote.

How many shares must be present to constitute a quorum for the annual meeting?

Under our Bylaws, a quorum will be present if the holders of a one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are entitled to vote is represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. In accordance with Delaware law and as authorized by our board of directors, stockholders and proxyholders who are not physically present at the annual meeting but participate in the annual meeting by means of remote communication will be deemed present in person at the annual meeting.

On the record date, there were shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Therefore, stockholders holding at least shares of our common stock that are entitled to vote at the annual meeting must be represented in person or by proxy for us to have a quorum.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank, or other nominee) or if you attend the annual meeting virtually and vote at that time. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present or represented, will have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present or represented.

What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?

The following matters are scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

	●	Proposal 1: To elect five directors to our board of directors each to serve a term of one year and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. Our board of directors intends to present for election the following five nominees: Mayur Doshi, Donald G. Fell, Shankar Hariharan, Subbarao Jayanthi, and Narasimhan Mani;

	●	Proposal 2: To ratify the appointment of CM3 Advisory as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026;

	●	Proposal 3: To approve, by a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement; and

	●	Proposal 4: To approve an adjournment of the Annual Meeting, if necessary and appropriate, as determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting to approve the presented proposals or to constitute a quorum.

No cumulative voting rights are authorized, and appraisal or dissenters’ rights are not applicable to these matters.

What will happen if I do not vote my shares?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If you are the stockholder of record and you do not vote by proxy card, by telephone, via the Internet, or virtually at the annual meeting, your shares will not be voted at the annual meeting.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker, Bank, or Other Nominee. Brokers, banks, or other nominees who hold shares of our common stock for a beneficial owner in “street name” have the discretion to vote on “routine” proposals when they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner at least 10 days prior to the annual meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have the discretion to direct the voting of the shares. Under the rules that govern brokers that are voting shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote those shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. Proposal 2 is a matter we believe will be considered routine and, therefore, brokers will have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal and there will not be any broker non-votes assuming the broker exercises its discretionary authority. Brokers do not always exercise this discretionary authority, and if your broker does not (and you have not given any voting direction), your shares will not be voted. We strongly encourage you to submit your voting instructions to your broker to ensure your shares of common stock are voted in accordance with your instructions at the annual meeting.

How may I vote for each proposal and what is the vote required for each proposal?

Proposal 1: Election of directors.

You may vote FOR ALL, WITHHOLD ALL, or FOR ALL EXCEPT with respect to Proposal 1. A plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy by the holders of our common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting are required to elect each director. A “plurality” of the votes cast means that the nominees who receive the largest number of votes cast “FOR” such nominees are elected as directors. Votes may be cast “FOR ALL” nominees, “WITHHOLD ALL” authority to vote for all nominees, or “FOR ALL EXCEPT” by withholding authority to vote for one or more of the nominees as indicated on the proxy card. “Votes cast” shall include votes to withhold authority and exclude abstentions with respect to that director’s election. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes (which occur if a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a particular director nominee within 10 days of the annual meeting) will not be counted in determining the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will essentially be no votes.

Proposal 2: Ratification of CM3 Advisory as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026.

You may vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN from voting on Proposal 2. For this proposal to be approved, we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of the votes cast in person (via online attendance) or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon, at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will not be counted FOR or AGAINST the proposal and will have no effect on the proposal.

Proposal 3: Advisory vote on executive compensation.

You may vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN from voting on Proposal 3. For this proposal to be approved, we must receive a FOR vote from the holders of a majority of the votes cast in person (via online attendance) or by proxy, and entitled to vote thereon, at the annual meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will not be counted FOR or AGAINST the proposal and will have no effect on the proposal.

This is a non-binding advisory vote only. Our board of directors and the compensation committee of our board of directors are not required to take any action as a result of the outcome of the vote on this proposal.

Proposal 4: Approval of the adjournment of the annual meeting.

How does the board of directors recommend that I vote?

Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR ALL” of the director nominees listed in Proposal 1 and “FOR” Proposals 2, 3, and 4.

What happens if I sign and return my proxy card but do not provide voting instructions?

If you return a signed and dated proxy card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted:

	●	Proposal 1: FOR ALL director nominees to be elected;
	●	Proposal 2: FOR ratification of CM3 Advisory as our independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2026.
	●	Proposal 3: FOR the approval the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement.
	●	Proposal 4: FOR the approval of the adjournment of the annual meeting.

Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for action at the annual meeting. The proxyholders, in their discretion, are further authorized to vote on other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the annual meeting.

Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

The accompanying proxy is being solicited by our board of directors. In addition to this solicitation, our officers, directors, and employees may solicit proxies in person, by telephone, or by other means of communication. Officers, directors, and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. Furthermore, we may also retain one or more third parties to aid in the solicitation of brokers, banks, and institutional and other stockholders. We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms, banks, and other agents for the cost of forwarding any Proxy Materials to beneficial owners.

What happens if the annual meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Unless the polls have closed or you have revoked your proxy, your proxy will still be in effect and may be voted once the annual meeting is reconvened. However, you will still be able to change or revoke your proxy with respect to any proposal until the polls have closed for voting on that proposal.

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

Preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the annual meeting. Final voting results will be reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC no later than four business days following the conclusion of the annual meeting.

How can I find the Company’s Proxy Materials on the Internet?

This proxy statement and these Proxy Materials are available at our corporate website at https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/go/SCNX2026AGM. You also can obtain copies without charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

How do I obtain a separate set of these Proxy Materials if I share an address with other stockholders?

In some cases, stockholders holding their shares in a brokerage or bank account who share the same surname and address and have not given contrary instructions receive only one hard copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or these Proxy Materials. This practice is designed to reduce duplicate mailings and save printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. If you would like to have a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or these Proxy Materials mailed to you or to receive separate copies of future mailings, please submit your request to the address or phone number appearing in these Proxy Materials. We will deliver such additional copies promptly upon receipt of such request.

In other cases, stockholders receiving multiple copies of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or these Proxy Materials at the same address may wish to receive only one copy. If you currently receive more than one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or these Proxy Materials and you would like to receive only one copy, please submit your request to the address or phone number that appears these Proxy Materials.

Can I receive future proxy materials and annual reports electronically?

Yes. These Proxy Materials are available at https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/go/SCNX2026AGM and www.sec.gov. Instead of receiving paper copies of future proxy materials and annual reports in the mail, stockholders can elect to receive an email that provides a link to our future proxy materials and annual reports on the Internet. Opting to receive these materials electronically will save us the cost of producing and mailing documents to your home or business, will reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings and will give you an automatic link to the proxy voting site.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Directors and Executive Officers

For information regarding our existing directors and our executive officers, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers, President, and Interim Chief Financial Officer, see the section of this proxy statement entitled “Proposal 1: Election of Directors.”

Other Directorships

No directors of the Company are also directors of issuers with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (or which otherwise are required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act), except for Mr. Fell and Mr. Doshi as described above and in “Proposal 1: Election of Directors.”

Family Relationships

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

Election of Officers and Directors

Our executive officers are currently appointed by our board of directors on an annual basis and serve until their successors are duly appointed and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

Our board of directors is currently composed of five directors. Our directors are elected by our stockholders on an annual basis and serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports with the SEC regarding their ownership and changes in ownership of our securities.

Other than as reported below, and based solely upon a review of those reports and written representations provided to us by all of our directors and executive officers, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2025, our directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% stockholders timely filed all reports they were required to file under Section 16(a).

	●	Shankar Hariharan, our Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer, filed a Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership report on Form 4 on March 12, 2026, reporting various acquisitions and dispositions of shares of our common stock, including the conversion of certain shares of preferred stock, that occurred between September 19, 2024, and February 20, 2026.

Corporate Governance

Director Independence

Our board of directors annually determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director, in accordance with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and applicable laws. In assessing director independence, our board of directors considers, among other matters, the nature and extent of any business relationships, including transactions conducted, between us and each director and between us and any organization for which one of our directors is a director or executive officer or with which one of our directors is otherwise affiliated.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Donald G. Fell, Mayur Doshi, and Subbarao Jayanthi qualify as independent directors pursuant to Nasdaq’s listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations. Due to the fact that Dr. Narasimhan Mani serves as our President, Interim Chief Financial Officer, and Co-Chief Executive Officer and that Dr. Shankar Hariharan serves as our Co-Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan are not independent directors. Ultimately, a majority of our board of directors is comprised of independent directors.

Board Committee Membership

Our board of directors has the authority to appoint committees to perform certain management and administration functions. Our board of directors currently has three committees: the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee.

C - Chair of Committee

M – Member of Committee

Audit Committee

We established the audit committee of our board of directors to oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. Only our independent directors serve on our audit committee, which consists of Donald G. Fell, Mayur Doshi (chair), and Subbarao Jayanthi. Our board of directors selected the members of the audit committee based on a determination that each of the members is financially literate (as required by Nasdaq rules) and qualified to monitor the performance of management and the independent auditors and to monitor our disclosures so that our disclosures fairly present our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our board of directors has also determined that Mr. Doshi is an “audit committee financial expert” (as defined in the SEC rules) because he has the following attributes: (i) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and financial statements; (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (iii) experience analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements; (iv) an understanding of internal control over financial reporting; and (v) an understanding of audit committee functions. Mr. Doshi has acquired these attributes by means of having held various positions that provided relevant experience, as described in his biographical information above.

Our audit committee has the sole authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain, compensate, evaluate, and terminate our independent auditors and to review, as it deems appropriate, the scope of our annual audits, our accounting policies and reporting practices, our system of internal controls, our compliance with policies regarding business conduct and other matters. In addition, our audit committee has the authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain special legal, accounting, or other advisors to advise the audit committee.

The charter for our audit committee was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on October 28, 2019, and is available on our website at https://scientureholdings.com/governance under “Governance Documents.”

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee of our board of directors, which is comprised exclusively of independent directors, currently consists of Donald G. Fell (chair), Mayur Doshi, and Subbarao Jayanthi. The compensation committee is responsible for the administration of our stock compensation plans, the approval, review, and evaluation of the compensation arrangements for our executive officers and directors, and for overseeing and advising our board of directors on the adoption of policies that govern our compensation and benefit programs. In addition, the compensation committee has the authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain special legal, accounting, or other advisors to advise the compensation committee.

The charter for our compensation committee was filed as Exhibit 99.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on October 28, 2019, and is available on our website at https://scientureholdings.com/governance under “Governance Documents.”

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the compensation committee is one of our employees or a former employees. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, none of our executive officers (A) served as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors); (B) served as a director of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors); or (C) served as a member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as one of our directors.

Additionally, no compensation committee member (1) was, during the fiscal year, an officer or employee of the registrant; (2) was formerly an officer of the registrant (except as discussed above); or (3) had any relationship requiring disclosure by us under Section 404 of Regulation S-K. Accordingly, the compensation committee members have no interlocking relationships required to be disclosed under SEC rules and regulations.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee, which is comprised exclusively of independent directors, currently consists of Donald G. Fell (chair), Subbarao Jayanthi, and Mayur Doshi. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for identifying prospective qualified candidates to fill vacancies on our board of directors, recommending director nominees (including chairpersons) for each of our committees, developing and recommending appropriate corporate governance guidelines and overseeing the self-evaluation of our board of directors.

In considering individual director nominees and committee appointments for our board of directors, our nominating and corporate governance committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our board of directors and its committees and to identify individuals who can effectively assist us in achieving our short-term and long-term goals, protecting our stockholders’ interests, and creating and enhancing value for our stockholders. In so doing, our nominating and corporate governance committee considers a person’s diversity attributes (e.g., professional experiences, skills, background, race, and gender) as a whole and does not necessarily attribute any greater weight to one attribute. Moreover, diversity in professional experience, skills and background, and diversity in race and gender, are just a few of the attributes that our nominating and corporate governance committee takes into account. In evaluating prospective candidates, our nominating and corporate governance committee also considers whether the individual has personal and professional integrity, good business judgment and relevant experience and skills, and whether such individual is willing and able to commit the time necessary for serves to our board of directors and its committees.

While there are no specific minimum requirements that our nominating and corporate governance committee believes must be met by a prospective director nominee, the committee does believe that director nominees should possess personal and professional integrity, have good business judgment, have relevant experience and skills, and be willing and able to commit the necessary time for service to our board of directors and its committees. We do not have a formal diversity policy, but our nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates each individual in the context of our board of directors as a whole, with the objective of recommending individuals that can best perpetuate the success of our business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound business judgment using their diversity of experience in various areas. We believe our current directors possess diverse professional experiences, skills, and backgrounds, in addition to (among other characteristics) high standards of personal and professional ethics, proven records of success in their respective fields and valuable knowledge of our business and our industry.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees and regularly assesses the appropriate size of our board of directors and whether any vacancies on our board of directors are expected due to retirement or other circumstances. In addition, our nominating and corporate governance committee considers, from time to time, various potential candidates for directorships. Candidates may come to the attention of our nominating and corporate governance committee through current members of our board of directors, professional search firms, stockholders, or other persons. These candidates may be evaluated at regular or special meetings of our nominating and corporate governance committee and may be considered at any point during the year.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates director nominees at regular or special meetings of the committee pursuant to the criteria described above and reviews qualified director nominees with our board of directors. Our nominating and corporate governance committee selects nominees that best suit the current needs of our board of directors and recommends one or more of such individuals for election to our board of directors.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee will consider nominees for our board of directors recommended in good faith by our stockholders, provided those nominees meet the requirements of Nasdaq and applicable federal securities laws. Stockholders should submit a candidate’s name, credentials, contact information and his or her written consent to be considered as a candidate. These recommendations should be submitted in writing to our Secretary. The proposing stockholder should also include his or her contact information and a statement of his or her share ownership (how many shares owned and for how long). Our nominating and corporate governance committee may request further information about stockholder recommended nominees in order to comply with any applicable laws, rules, or regulations or to the extent such information is required to be provided by such stockholder pursuant to any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. Individuals recommended by stockholders in accordance with these procedures will receive the same consideration received by individuals identified to our nominating and corporate governance committee through other means.

In addition, our Bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors at an annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting at which directors are to be elected in accordance with the notice of meeting pursuant to the requirements of our Bylaws and applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations.

The charter of our nominating and corporate governance committee was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on November 20, 2019, is available on our website at https://scientureholdings.com/governance under “Governance Documents.”

Board Leadership and Risk Oversight

Leadership of our board of directors is overseen by Dr. Shankar Hariharan, our Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer. We do not have a lead independent director. Our board of directors believes that combining the positions of Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer provides clarity of leadership and is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. The Executive Chairman sets agendas for, and presides over, meetings of our board of directors. In addition, each Board committee is led by a chair, and similarly, the committee chairs for committees of our board of directors set agendas for, and preside over, the meetings and executive sessions held by their respective committees.

Effective risk oversight is an important priority of our board of directors. Because risks are considered in virtually every business decision, our board of directors discusses risk throughout the year generally or in connection with specific proposed actions. Our approach to risk oversight includes understanding the critical risks in our business and strategy, evaluating our risk management processes, allocating responsibilities for risk oversight, and fostering an appropriate culture of integrity and compliance with legal responsibilities.

Our board of directors exercises direct oversight of strategic risks to us. The audit committee reviews and assesses our processes to manage business and financial risk and financial reporting risk. It also reviews our policies for risk assessment and assesses steps management has taken to control significant risks. The compensation committee oversees risks relating to compensation programs and policies. In each case, management periodically reports to our board of directors or relevant committee, which provides guidance on risk assessment and mitigation. Our nominating and corporate governance committee recommends the slate of director nominees for election to the our board of directors, identifies and recommends candidates to fill vacancies occurring between annual stockholder meetings, reviews, evaluates and recommends changes to our corporate governance guidelines, and establishes the process for conducting the review of our Co-Chief Executive Officers’ performances.

Director Engagement

Our board of directors met times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and also acted by written consent. Members of management are invited to and attend selected board and committee meetings, depending on the agenda, to report on relevant topics and respond to questions, and engage informally with committee chairs on relevant topics. All of our directors attended our last annual meeting of stockholders.

In addition to the meetings held by our board of directors during the 2025 fiscal year, the audit committee met times, the compensation committee met times, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met times. Each committee also met informally and acted by written consent. Each director attended at least 75% of the combined meetings of our board of directors and applicable committees. Executive sessions or meetings of outside (non-management) directors without management present are included on the agenda for each regularly scheduled board of directors meeting and audit committee meeting, as well as any other committee meeting attended by management. During fiscal year 2025, the independent directors held executive sessions without management present, of which included meeting with our independent auditors. The compensation committee also meets in executive sessions on compensation related matters with its outside advisors, in addition to regularly scheduled meetings.

Committee Charters

Our board of directors has adopted, and may amend from time to time, a written charter for each committee. The committee charters are currently available on our website at https://scientureholdings.com/governance.

Stockholder Communications

We welcome the opportunity to share our story and strategy with investors, and value your input on long-term goals and strategies as well as your feedback on our operations, management, and initiatives. Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with our board of directors may do so by sending a written communication to any director at the following address: Attn: Corporate Secretary, Scienture Holdings, Inc., 20 Austin Blvd., Commack, New York 11725. The mailing envelope should contain a notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a “Board Communication.” All such letters should clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the board of directors or certain specified individual directors. Our Secretary, or the Secretary’s designee, will make a copy of any such communication so received and promptly forward it to the director or directors to whom it is addressed.

Insider Trading/Anti-Hedging Policies

All employees, officers, and directors of the Company or any of our subsidiaries are subject to our Insider Trading Policy. The policy prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of any nonpublic information acquired in the workplace and the misuse of material nonpublic information in securities trading. The policy also prohibits trading in our securities during certain pre-established blackout periods around the filing of periodic reports and the public disclosure of material information. We recognize that hedging against losses in our shares of common stock may disturb the alignment between stockholders and executives that equity awards are intended to build. To ensure compliance with the policy and applicable federal and state securities laws, all individuals subject to the policy must refrain from the purchase or sale of our securities except in designated trading windows or pursuant to preapproved 10b5-1 trading plans. The anti-hedging provisions prohibit all employees, officers, and directors from engaging in “short sales” of our securities.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of our previous or future filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that might incorporate this proxy statement or any future filing with the SEC, in whole or in part, the following report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any such filing.

Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers

Surendra Ajjarapu, Former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary

We previously entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ajjarapu, our former Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, on April 14, 2020. Given Mr. Ajjarapu’s resignation from his positions as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective May 16, 2025, his employment agreement with us terminated on such date. However, the description below summarizes the main terms of the employment agreement while it was in effect prior to Mr. Ajjarapu’s resignation.

The agreement, which provided for Mr. Ajjarapu to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, had a term extending through December 31, 2025, provided that the agreement would automatically extend for additional one-year terms thereafter in the event neither party provided the other at least 60 days prior notice of their intention not to renew the terms of the agreement. The agreement also required the Board, subject to certain exceptions, to nominate Mr. Ajjarapu to serve on the Board at each stockholders’ meeting that occurs during the term of the agreement and to serve as the Chairman of the Board.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Ajjarapu’s annual compensation package included (1) a base salary of $360,000 per year ($300,000 for the 2020 fiscal year), subject to annual increases as determined in the sole discretion of the compensation committee of our board of directors, and as discussed below (the “Base Salary”), and (2) a performance bonus equal to up to 100% of his Base Salary each year, based on the Company meeting certain performance metrics as determined from time to time by the compensation committee and Mr. Ajjarapu (“Performance Metrics”). Additionally, in the event that Mr. Ajjarapu met at least 70% of the requirements for any annual performance bonus, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the compensation committee (which requirement was met for the 2020 fiscal year, and which salary was automatically increased), Mr. Ajjarapu’s Base Salary would be increased by 20%. Mr. Ajjarapu was eligible for the Base Salary increase on an annual basis, with such increases being cumulative. Such increases in Base Salary did not require an amendment to the agreement. Mr. Ajjarapu’s Performance Metrics included specific company performance goals and objectives, including revenue goals, app downloads, and net operating income milestones, as could be modified or added to from time to time with the mutual approval of Mr. Ajjarapu and the compensation committee. The determination of whether the Performance Metrics were met was determined in the reasonable discretion of the compensation committee, no later than 90 days after (a) December 31, 2020, in connection with the 2020 Performance Metrics; and (b) the end of such calendar year for subsequent years. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Mr. Ajjarapu was awarded 49,020 shares of restricted Common Stock (the “2020 Restricted Stock”), valued at $372,062, based on the closing sales price of the Company’s Common Stock on the effective date of grant, which vested in full. Mr. Ajjarapu was also eligible to receive additional bonuses awarded from time to time in the discretion of the Board and/or compensation committee and the Board (in cash, options, or other forms of equity), or the compensation committee could waive or change the performance metrics associated with his performance bonus in their discretion. Mr. Ajjarapu’s compensation under his employment agreement was able to be increased, from time to time, by the compensation committee or the Board (with the recommendation of the compensation committee), which increases would not require the entry into an amended employment agreement. Mr. Ajjarapu was also paid an automobile allowance of $1,000 per month during the term of the agreement and was eligible to participate in the Company’s stock option plan and other benefit plans.

The agreement required Mr. Ajjarapu to devote at least 75% of his business time and efforts to Company business. The agreement also prohibited Mr. Ajjarapu from competing against us during the term of the agreement and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the agreement in any state and any other geographic area in which we or our subsidiaries provide Restricted Services or Restricted Products, directly or indirectly, during the twelve months preceding the date of the termination of the agreement. “Restricted Services” means the manufacture, distribution, wholesale, and sale of Restricted Products, healthcare services, and any other services that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, performing, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination, or which Mr. Ajjarapu has obtained any trade secret or other confidential information about at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement. “Restricted Products” means pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare products and any other product, that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, manufacturing, distributing, purchasing, selling, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date the agreement is terminated, or which Mr. Ajjarapu obtained any trade secret or other confidential information in connection with at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement.

The Company had the ability to terminate Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment (a) for “cause” (which was defined to include a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Ajjarapu, any act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement by Mr. Ajjarapu, Mr. Ajjarapu committing any act of fraud, or Mr. Ajjarapu being indicted of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere with respect to, theft, fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, or a felony under federal or applicable state law); (b) in the event Mr. Ajjarapu suffered a physical or mental disability that rendered him unable to perform his duties and obligations for either 90 consecutive days or 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without “cause”; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement was also subject to automatic termination upon the death of Mr. Ajjarapu.

Mr. Ajjarapu was able to terminate his employment (a) for “good reason” (i.e., (i) if his position or duties were modified to such an extent that his duties were no longer consistent with the position of CEO of the Company, (ii) there had been a material breach by us of a material term of the agreement or Mr. Ajjarapu reasonably believed that we were violating any law that would have a material adverse effect on our operations and such violation continued uncured 30 days after such breach and after notice thereof had been provided to us by Mr. Ajjarapu, (iii) Mr. Ajjarapu’s compensation was reduced without his consent, or we failed to pay to Mr. Ajjarapu any compensation due to him upon five days written notice from Mr. Ajjarapu informing us of such failure, or (iv) if Mr. Ajjarapu was also then serving as a member of the Board and was not re-nominated by the Board to serve as a member of the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that prior to any such termination by Mr. Ajjarapu for “good reason”, Mr. Ajjarapu was required to first advise us in writing (within 15 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 15 days to cure (5 days in connection with the reduction of Mr. Ajjarapu’s salary or the failure to pay amounts owed to him)); (b) for any reason without “good reason”; and (c) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above.

In the event that Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment was terminated for any reason (not including, however, a termination by us for “cause” or a termination as a result of Mr. Ajjarapu’s death or disability) during the twelve-month period following a Change of Control (a “Change of Control Termination”) or in anticipation of a Change of Control, we would have been required to pay Mr. Ajjarapu, within 60 days following the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control, a cash severance payment in a lump sum in an amount equal to 3.0 times the sum of his current Base Salary and the amount of the last bonus payable to Mr. Ajjarapu (the “Change of Control Payment”), which amount would be due within 60 days of the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control. If Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment was terminated due to a Change of Control Termination within six months prior to a Change of Control, it would have been deemed to be “in anticipation of a Change of Control” for all purposes. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, all of Mr. Ajjarapu’s equity-based compensation would immediately vest to Mr. Ajjarapu and any outstanding stock options held by Mr. Ajjarapu could be exercised by Mr. Ajjarapu until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances, provided that if Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment ended in anticipation of a Change of Control and such equity-based compensation awards or stock options had previously expired pursuant to their terms, the Company would be required to pay Mr. Ajjarapu a lump sum payment, payable on the same date as the Change of Control Payment, equal to the Black Scholes value of the expired and unexercised equity compensation awards and stock options held by Mr. Ajjarapu on the date of termination, based on the value of such awards had they been exercisable through the end of their stated term and had not previously expired. “Change of Control” for the purposes of the agreement meant: (a) any person obtaining beneficial ownership representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding voting securities without the approval of not fewer than two-thirds of our Board; (b) a merger or consolidation of us whether or not approved by our Board, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in our voting securities immediately prior thereto continuing to represent at least 50% of the total voting power outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (c) our stockholders approving a plan of complete liquidation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by us of all or substantially all of our assets, or (d) as a result of the election of members to our Board, a majority of the Board consisting of persons who are not members of the Board on April 14, 2020, except in the event that such slate of directors is proposed by a committee of the Board or the Board; provided that if the definition of “Change of Control” in our Stock Incentive Plans or Equity Compensation Plans was more favorable than the definition above, then such definition would control.

If Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment had been terminated pursuant to his death, disability, the end of the initial term (or any renewal term), without “good reason” by Mr. Ajjarapu, or by us for “cause”, Mr. Ajjarapu would have been entitled to all salary accrued through the termination date and no other benefits other than as required under the terms of employee benefit plans in which Mr. Ajjarapu was participating as of the termination date. Additionally, any unvested stock options or equity compensation held by Mr. Ajjarapu would immediately terminate and be forfeited (unless otherwise provided in the applicable award) and any previously vested stock options (or if applicable equity compensation) would be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Plan or Equity Compensation Plan, or award agreement, as such may describe the rights and obligations upon termination of employment of Mr. Ajjarapu.

If Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment had been terminated by Mr. Ajjarapu for “good reason”, or by us without “cause”, Mr. Ajjarapu would have been entitled to continue to receive the salary due pursuant to the terms of the agreement at the rate in effect upon the termination date for eighteen (18) months, plus the pro rata amount of any discretionary bonus and performance bonus he would have been due for the following eighteen (18) months (with any metrics being extrapolated based on the last four (4) full prior quarters of the Company’s operations prior to termination). Additionally, unvested benefits (whether equity or cash benefits and bonuses) would vest immediately upon such termination and any outstanding stock options previously granted to Mr. Ajjarapu would vest immediately upon such termination and would be exercisable until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances. Mr. Ajjarapu would have also received, if he so elected, continued health insurance under COBRA, paid for by the Company, for eighteen (18) months following the termination date (subject to certain rights which reduce such obligation if Mr. Ajjarapu was covered by health insurance with a substantially similar level of insurance as prior to the termination).

The agreement contained standard assignment of inventions, indemnification, and confidentiality provisions. Further, Mr. Ajjarapu was subject to non-solicitation covenants during the term of the agreement. Mr. Ajjarapu is prohibited from competing until May 16, 2026.

Prashant Patel, Former President, Chief Operating Officer, and Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer

We previously entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Patel, our former Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer, President, and Chief Operating Officer, on March 31, 2024. Given Mr. Patel’s resignation from his positions as Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer on March 13, 2025, and President and Chief Operating Officer on May 20, 2025, his employment agreement with the Company terminated on such date. However, the description below summarizes the main terms of the employment agreement while it was in effect prior to Mr. Patels’ resignation.

The agreement, which provided for Mr. Patel to serve as our President and Chief Operating Officer, had a term extending through December 31, 2025, provided that the agreement was subject to automatic extension for additional one-year terms thereafter in the event neither party provided the other at least 60 days prior notice of their intention not to renew the terms of the agreement. The agreement also required the Board, subject to certain exceptions, to nominate Mr. Patel to serve on the Board at each stockholders’ meeting which occurred during the term of the agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Patel’s annual compensation package included (1) a base salary of $350,000 per year, subject to annual increases as determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, and as discussed below (the “Base Salary”), and (2) a performance bonus equal to up to 100% of his Base Salary each year, based on the Company meeting certain performance metrics as determined from time to time by the compensation committee of the Board (“Performance Metrics”). Additionally, in the event that Mr. Patel met at least 70% of the requirements for any annual performance bonus, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the compensation committee, Mr. Patel’s Base Salary would increase by 20%. Mr. Patel was eligible for the Base Salary increase on an annual basis, with such increases being cumulative. Such increases in Base Salary did not require an amendment to the agreement. Mr. Patel’s Performance Metrics were to be added to the agreement and the Company contemplated that such metrics would include specific company performance goals and objectives, including revenue goals, app downloads, and net operating income milestones, as could be modified or added to from time to time with the mutual approval of Mr. Patel and the compensation committee. The determination of whether the Performance Metrics had been met were determined in the reasonable discretion of the compensation committee, no later than 90 days after the end of such calendar year. Mr. Patel was also eligible to receive additional bonuses awarded from time to time in the discretion of the compensation committee (in cash, options, or other forms of equity). Mr. Patel was also paid an automobile allowance of $1,000 per month during the term of the agreement and was eligible to participate in the Company’s stock option plan and other benefit plans.

The agreement required Mr. Patel to devote at least 75% of his business time and efforts to Company business. The agreement also prohibited Mr. Patel from competing against us during the term of the agreement and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the agreement in any state and any other geographic area in which we or our subsidiaries provide Restricted Services or Restricted Products, directly or indirectly, during the twelve months preceding the date of the termination of the agreement. “Restricted Services” means the manufacture, distribution, wholesale, and sale of Restricted Products, healthcare services, and any other services that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, performing, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination, or which Mr. Patel has obtained any trade secret or other confidential information about at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement. “Restricted Products” means pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare products and any other product, that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, manufacturing, distributing, purchasing, selling, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date the agreement is terminated, or which Mr. Patel obtained any trade secret or other confidential information in connection with at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement.

The Company had the ability to terminate Mr. Patel’s employment (a) for “cause” (which was defined to include a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Patel, any act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement by Mr. Patel, any act of fraud by Mr. Patel, or Mr. Patel being indicted of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere with respect to, theft, fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, or a felony under federal or applicable state law); (b) in the event Mr. Patel suffered a physical or mental disability that rendered him unable to perform his duties and obligations for either 90 consecutive days or 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without “cause”; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement was also subject to automatic termination upon the death of Mr. Patel.

Mr. Patel could terminate his employment (a) for “good reason” (i.e., (i) if his position or duties were modified to such an extent that his duties were no longer consistent with the position of Chief Compliance Officer of the Company, (ii) there had been a material breach by us of a material term of the agreement or Mr. Patel reasonably believed that we were violating any law that would have a material adverse effect on our operations and such violation continued uncured 30 days after such breach and after notice thereof had been provided to us by Mr. Patel, (iii) Mr. Patel’s compensation was reduced without his consent, or we failed to pay to Mr. Patel any compensation due to him upon five days written notice from Mr. Patel informing us of such failure, or (iv) if Mr. Patel was also then serving as a member of our board of directors and was not re-nominated by our board of directors to serve as a member of our board of directors at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company; provided, however, prior to any such termination by Mr. Patel for “good reason”, Mr. Patel was required to first advise us in writing (within 15 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 15 days to cure (5 days in connection with the reduction of Mr. Patel’s salary or the failure to pay amounts owed to him)); (b) for any reason without “good reason”; and (c) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above.

In the event that Mr. Patel’s employment was terminated for any reason (not including, however, a termination by us for “cause” or a termination as a result of Mr. Patel’s death or disability) during the twelve-month period following a Change of Control (a “Change of Control Termination”) or in anticipation of a Change of Control, we were required to pay Mr. Patel, within 60 days following the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control, a cash severance payment in a lump sum in an amount equal to 3.0 times the sum of his current base salary and the amount of the last bonus payable to Mr. Patel (the “Change of Control Payment”), which amount would be due within 60 days of the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control. If Mr. Patel’s employment terminated due to a Change of Control Termination within six (6) months prior to a Change of Control, it would have been deemed to be “in anticipation of a Change of Control” for all purposes. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, all of Mr. Patel’s equity-based compensation would have immediately vested to Mr. Patel and any outstanding stock options held by Mr. Patel could be exercised by Mr. Patel until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances, provided that if Mr. Patel’s employment ended in anticipation of a Change of Control and such equity-based compensation awards or stock options had previously expired pursuant to their terms, the Company would be required to pay Mr. Patel a lump sum payment, payable on the same date as the Change of Control Payment, equal to the Black Scholes value of the expired and unexercised equity compensation awards and stock options held by Mr. Patel on the date of termination, based on the value of such awards had they been exercisable through the end of their stated term and had not previously expired. “Change of Control” for the purposes of the agreement meant: (a) any person obtaining beneficial ownership representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding voting securities without the approval of not fewer than two-thirds of our Board; (b) a merger or consolidation of us whether or not approved by our Board, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in our voting securities immediately prior thereto continuing to represent at least 50% of the total voting power outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (c) our stockholders approving a plan of complete liquidation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by us of all or substantially all of our assets, or (d) as a result of the election of members to our Board, a majority of our board of directors consisting of persons who are not members of our board of directors on March 31, 2024, except in the event that such slate of directors is proposed by a committee of our board of directors or our board of directors; provided that if the definition of “Change of Control” in our Stock Incentive Plans or Equity Compensation Plans was more favorable than the definition above, then such definition would control.

If Mr. Patel’s employment was terminated pursuant to his death, disability, the end of the initial term (or any renewal term), without “good reason” by Mr. Patel, or by us for “cause”, Mr. Patel would have been entitled to all salary accrued through the termination date and no other benefits other than as required under the terms of employee benefit plans in which Mr. Patel was participating as of the termination date.

Dr. Narasimhan Mani, Co-Chief Executive Officer and President

On October 1, 2024, our wholly owned subsidiary, Scienture, LLC, entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Mani regarding his employment with Scienture, LLC. Dr. Mani’s original employment agreement provided that we would pay Dr. Mani a base salary of $325,000 per year, subject to annual increase as determined by the compensation committee of our Board. In addition, Dr. Mani is eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by our Board or the compensation committee of our Board from time to time. Beginning for calendar year 2025, Dr. Mani’s target annual incentive compensation was $325,000. Dr. Mani is also eligible to receive a discretionary bonus equal to an amount determined by the compensation committee of our Board and will receive prompt reimbursement for reasonably incurred business expenses. He also receives a $1,500 per month automobile allowance.

In addition to the cash compensation described above, Dr. Mani’s employment agreement provides that he is eligible to participate in our incentive stock option plan. We initially agreed to grant Dr. Mani an initial option to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock with a strike price equal to the fair market value as determined by the compensation committee of our Board. However, the compensation committee of our Board approved the issuance of 750,000 shares of common stock to Dr. Mani in lieu of these stock options for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, Dr. Mani was issued 300,000 restricted shares of common stock with a vesting term of 2 years and a fair value on the date of issuance of $249,000.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Dr. Mani and his immediate family are eligible to participate in our health insurance plans and he is eligible for term life insurance in accordance with our policy and plan documents for an amount of $1,000,000. Dr. Mani is also entitled to take paid time off in accordance with our paid time off policy for executives.

We have the ability to terminate Dr. Mani’s employment (a) for “cause” (which was defined to include a material breach of the agreement by Dr. Mani; an act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement; an act of dishonesty to our Board with respect to any material matter, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude deceit, dishonesty, or fraud; misconduct reasonably expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to Scienture, LLC; unsatisfactory performance or non-performance of duties that continues for more than 30 days after written notice of such performance; material violation of written employment policies; or failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities after being instructed to cooperate); (b) in the event Dr. Mani is disabled and unable to perform or is expected to be unable to perform the essential function of his then-existing position(s) for a period of 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without “cause”; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement was also subject to automatic termination upon the death of Dr. Mani.

Dr. Mani is able to terminate his employment (a) for “good reason” (i.e., a material diminution in his responsibilities, authority, duties. or base salary (except for a uniform salary reduction based on our financial performance affecting all or substantially all of senior management); a material change in the geographic location of at least 30 miles driving distance at which he provides services to Scienture, LLC; or a material breach of his employment agreement by Scienture, LLC. Prior to any termination by Dr. Mani for “good reason,” he must first advise us in writing (within 60 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 30 days to cure such event.

Dr. Mani’s initial employment agreement provided that Scienture, LLC was responsible for the following benefits if Scienture, LLC terminated Dr. Mani’s employment without Cause or Dr. Mani terminated employment for Good Reason: (i) payment equal to (a) 12 months of his annual base salary if his employment terminated during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control (as defined in Dr. Mani’s employment agreement) or (b) 1.5 times the sum of his then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, his target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and his discretionary bonus if his employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control (the “Severance Benefit”); (ii) monthly payments of employer contributions for his health insurance for up to 12 months after termination of employment as if he were still employed by Scienture, LLC during such time (the “COBRA Benefit”); and (iii) monthly premium payments toward his life insurance policies for up to 12 months after his termination of employment as if he were still employed by Scienture, LLC during such time (the “Insurance Benefit”).

Dr. Mani’s employment agreement subsequently was amended, effective as of October 16, 2025. Pursuant to the amended employment agreement, Dr. Mani’s annual base salary increased to $400,000, subject to periodic review by the compensation committee of our Board. In addition, the amended employment agreement increases the amount of the Severance Benefit to be paid to Dr. Mani, such that he will receive payment equal to (a) 24 months of his annual base salary if his employment terminates during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control or (b) 2 times the sum of his then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, his target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and his discretionary bonus if his employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control. The amended employment agreement also provides that Dr. Mani will receive the COBRA Benefit and the Insurance Benefit for 24 months following termination of employment.

Dr. Shankar Hariharan, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman

On October 1, 2024, our wholly owned subsidiary, Scienture, LLC, entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Hariharan regarding his employment with Scienture, LLC. Dr. Hariharan’s original employment agreement provided that we would pay Dr. Hariharan a base salary of $175,000 per year, subject to annual increase as determined by the compensation committee of our Board. In addition, Dr. Hariharan is eligible to receive cash incentive compensation as determined by our Board or the compensation committee of our Board from time to time. Beginning for calendar year 2025, Dr. Hariharan’s target annual incentive compensation was $262,500. Dr. Hariharan is also eligible to receive a discretionary bonus equal to an amount determined by the compensation committee of our Board and will receive prompt reimbursement for reasonably incurred business expenses. He also receives a $1,500 per month automobile allowance.

In addition to the cash compensation described above, Dr. Hariharan’s employment agreement provides that he is eligible to participate in our incentive stock option plan. We initially agreed to grant Dr. Hariharan an initial option to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock with a strike price equal to the fair market value as determined by the compensation committee of our Board. However, the compensation committee of our Board approved the issuance of 750,000 shares of common stock to Dr. Hariharan in lieu of these stock options for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, Dr. Hariharan was issued 300,000 restricted shares of common stock with a vesting term of 2 years and a fair value on the date of issuance of $249,000.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Dr. Hariharan and his immediate family are eligible to participate in our health insurance plans and he is eligible for term life insurance in accordance with our policy and plan documents for an amount of $1,000,000. Dr. Hariharan is also entitled to take paid time off in accordance with our paid time off policy for executives.

We have the ability to terminate Dr. Hariharan’s employment (a) for “cause” (which was defined to include a material breach of the agreement by Dr. Hariharan; an act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement; an act of dishonesty to our Board with respect to any material matter, a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude deceit, dishonesty, or fraud; misconduct reasonably expected to result in material injury or reputational harm to Scienture, LLC; unsatisfactory performance or non-performance of duties that continues for more than 30 days after written notice of such performance; material violation of written employment policies; or failure to cooperate with a bona fide internal investigation or an investigation by regulatory or law enforcement authorities after being instructed to cooperate); (b) in the event Dr. Hariharan is disabled and unable to perform or is expected to be unable to perform the essential function of his then-existing position(s) for a period of 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without “cause”; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement was also subject to automatic termination upon the death of Dr. Hariharan.

Dr. Hariharan is able to terminate his employment (a) for “good reason” (i.e., a material diminution in his responsibilities, authority, duties. or base salary (except for a uniform salary reduction based on our financial performance affecting all or substantially all of senior management); a material change in the geographic location of at least 30 miles driving distance at which he provides services to Scienture, LLC; or a material breach of his employment agreement by Scienture, LLC. Prior to any termination by Dr. Hariharan for “good reason,” he must first advise us in writing (within 60 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 30 days to cure such event.

Dr. Hariharan’s initial employment agreement provided that Scienture, LLC was responsible for the following benefits if Scienture, LLC terminated Dr. Hariharan’s employment without Cause or Dr. Hariharan terminated employment for Good Reason: (i) payment equal to (a) 12 months of his annual base salary if his employment terminated during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control (as defined in Dr. Hariharan’s employment agreement) or (b) 1.5 times the sum of his then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, his target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and his discretionary bonus if his employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control (the “Severance Benefit”); (ii) monthly payments of employer contributions for his health insurance for up to 12 months after termination of employment as if he were still employed by Scienture, LLC during such time (the “COBRA Benefit”); and (iii) monthly premium payments toward his life insurance policies for up to 12 months after his termination of employment as if he were still employed by Scienture, LLC during such time (the “Insurance Benefit”).

Dr. Hariharan’s employment agreement subsequently was amended, effective as of October 16, 2025. Pursuant to the amended employment agreement Dr. Hariharan’s annual base salary increased to $400,000, subject to periodic review by the compensation committee of our Board. In addition, the amended employment agreement increases the amount of the Severance Benefit to be paid to Dr. Hariharan, such that he will receive payment equal to (a) 24 months of his annual base salary if his employment terminates during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control or (b) 2 times the sum of his then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, his target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and his discretionary bonus if his employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control. The amended employment agreement also provides that Dr. Hariharan will receive the COBRA Benefit and the Insurance Benefit for 24 months following termination of employment.

Eric Sherb, Former Chief Financial Officer

In connection with Mr. Sherb’s appointment as our Chief Financial Officer on March 13, 2025, we entered into an independent contractor agreement with EMS Consulting Services, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Sherb. The agreement provides that Mr. Sherb will perform—on a full-time basis—all services (a) assigned by our Chief Executive Officer and (b) otherwise necessary or convenient in fulfilling the obligations associated with serving as the Chief Financial Officer of a publicly-traded company with common stock listed on The Nasdaq Marketplace LLC. In exchange, we agreed to pay Mr. Sherb (i) an annual cash fee of $100,000; (ii) an annual grant of shares of our common stock equal valuing $50,000; and (c) an annual discretionary bonus in an amount, if any, determined in the sole discretion of our Board. The agreement may be terminated on no less than 14 days’ prior notice. On May 26, 2026, Mr. Sherb resigned from his positions as Chief Financial Officer, but continues to provide services to us as a consultant pursuant to the independent contractor agreement with EMS Consulting Services, Inc.

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following disclosure regarding compensation actually paid (“CAP”) as defined by the SEC to our executive officers in light of our financial performance. The table below presents information for each of the last two fiscal years regarding (i) the total compensation, as reported in the summary compensation table, for our principal executive officer serving in that capacity during the applicable fiscal year (the “PEO”) and the average total compensation of our other named executive officers, excluding the PEO, who were serving in that capacity during the applicable fiscal year as disclosed in the summary compensation table (“NEOs”), (ii) total compensation actually paid to the PEO and the total compensation actually paid to the other NEOs on average, (iii) total shareholder return for the Company, and (iv) the Company’s net income (loss).

The amounts set forth below under the headings “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” for our PEO and “Average Compensation Actually Paid to Non-PEO NEO” have been calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.

Relationship Between Pay and Performance

Three individuals served as our principal executive officer during 2025: Mr. Ajjarapu until May 16, 2025, and Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan from May 20, 2025. Compensation actually paid to our PEOs in 2025 was comprised primarily of salary compensation and the value of equity awards granted to Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan in connection with their appointment as Co-Chief Executive Officers. In April 2025 we granted each of Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan an option to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock. Those options were cancelled on September 17, 2025 and, in lieu of the options, the compensation committee of our board of directors approved the issuance to each of them of 750,000 shares of our common stock, which vested upon issuance. On October 1, 2025 we also issued 300,000 restricted shares of our common stock to each of Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan, vesting over two years. Equity awards are intended to further align the interests of our officers with those of our stockholders and to further motivate our PEOs and other NEOs to strive to achieve positive TSR.

Compensation actually paid to our PEOs increased from $650,577 in 2024 to $2,262,334 in 2025, while both of the performance measures presented in the table above moved in the opposite direction. Our cumulative total shareholder return on an initial fixed $100 investment declined from $186.91 at December 31, 2024 to $15.76 at December 31, 2025, and we recorded a net loss of $41.5 million for 2025 compared with net income of $13.6 million for 2024. Accordingly, compensation actually paid to our PEOs did not correlate with either total shareholder return or net income (loss) in 2025. The increase was attributable to the equity awards granted to Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan upon their appointment as Co-Chief Executive Officers, substantially all of which vested during 2025, rather than to Company performance during the year. Average compensation actually paid to our non-PEO NEOs decreased from $649,462 in 2024 to $64,167 in 2025, reflecting the absence of dividend payments in 2025 and the smaller equity awards made to those officers.

Our net income for fiscal year 2024 was driven, in part, by the sale in February 2024 of substantially all of the assets of our prior web-based market platform, which was a marketplace for healthcare buyers and sellers of pharmaceuticals, accessories and services. We paid two special dividends to all of our stockholders during the 2024 fiscal year (including our PEO and other NEO, each of whom is a stockholder and who from time to time have received equity awards as identified in the SCT and elsewhere in this proxy statement), representing a significant portion of the net proceeds we received from that transaction. Those dividend payments had a positive impact on compensation actually paid to our PEO and our other NEO for 2024, and no dividends were paid in 2025. Because a significant portion of compensation actually paid is determined by the value of equity awards and by dividends, compensation actually paid in any year may increase or decrease independently of net income (loss) or total shareholder return for that year.

Our net loss for fiscal 2025 was primarily attributable to non-cash impairment charges recognized in 2025 with no comparable charges in 2024. Excluding impairment, net loss from continuing operations improved by approximately $37,000 year over year for 2025. There was no income from discontinued operations in 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $27,310,278, primarily from the gain on the sale of assets in the first half of 2024.

Results of and Response to the Most Recent Say-On-Pay Vote and Frequency of Say-On-Pay Vote

Most Recent Say-On-Pay Vote

At our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, approximately 99.7% of the votes cast by our stockholders represented in person or by proxy at the 2024 annual meeting, voted in favor of approving, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our NEOs pursuant to Item 402 of SEC Regulation S-K (the “Say-On-Pay Vote”). Our board of directors believes that the Say-On-Pay Vote confirmed stockholder support for our executive compensation philosophy, objectives and decisions. As a result, our executive compensation philosophy and objectives remained consistent with those in 2025, 2024, and 2023.

Most Recent Frequency of Say-On-Pay Vote

At least once every six years, we are required to hold an advisory vote on the frequency of Say-On-Pay Votes (the “Frequency of Say-On-Pay Vote”). We held our most recent Frequency of Say-On-Pay Vote at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and a majority of the votes were cast in favor of holding Say-On-Pay Votes once every calendar year. In line with the preference of our stockholders, the Company intends to include the Say-On-Pay Vote in our proxy materials once every calendar year until the next Frequency of Say-On-Pay Vote, which will occur no later than our annual meeting of stockholders occurring in 2031.

Response to Future Say-On-Pay Votes

Although non-binding, our board of directors will continue to consider the results of Say-On-Pay Votes in our future executive compensation philosophy, objectives and decisions.

All information provided above under the “Pay Versus Performance” heading will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent we specifically incorporate such information by reference.

Director Compensation

Summary Director Compensation Table

The following table provides information regarding all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our independent directors for some portion or all of 2025. The compensation of our non-independent directors for this same year is described above under “Executive Compensation.” Other than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, we did not pay any fees, make any equity or non-equity awards, or pay any other compensation to our directors.

Name	Fees Earned or paid in cash		Stock Awards*		Option Awards**		All Other Compensation		Total

Donald G. Fell	$	13,750	$	294,024	$	-	$	-	$	307,774
Mayur Doshi	$	13,750	$	370,650	$	-	$	-	$	384,400

* Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718. Such grant date fair value does not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of restricted shares and option awards are set forth in the Critical Accounting Estimates as disclosed in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The amount reported in this column reflects the accounting cost for these awards and does not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the director upon the vesting of the restricted shares, the exercise of the stock options, or any sale of the underlying shares of our common stock.

** Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include the per share fair value of the underlying our common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual dividend yield and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term. We estimate volatility by reference to our historical volatilities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.

Independent Director Compensation Policy

Each independent member of our Board is entitled to receive an annual cash payment of $35,000. The chair of the audit committee of our Board receives an additional $20,000 cash payment. The chairs of our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committees each receive an additional $10,000 cash payment, respectively. Furthermore, independent directors are entitled to receive an annual grant of shares of our common stock equal to $55,000 in value.

We have also entered into an indemnification agreement with each member of our board of directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Except as discussed or otherwise disclosed in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Executive Compensation,” which information is incorporated by reference where applicable into this “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” section, the following sets forth a summary of all transactions since January 1, 2024, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the fiscal year-end for 2024 and 2025, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described above under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

Transactions with Related Persons

Prior Lock-Up Agreements

On July 25, 2024, we entered into and closed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with MEDS Merger Sub I, Inc., MEDS Merger Sub II, LLC, and Scienture, LLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 25, 2024, we entered into lock-up agreements with each of our directors and officers and certain of our stockholders as well as the directors and officers of Scienture, LLC and certain of Scienture, LLC’s stockholders (each, a “Locked-Up Party”) with respect to all of our securities held by such Locked-Up Parties (the “Lock-Up Securities”) immediately following the closing. Pursuant to the lock-up agreements, each Locked-Up Party agreed not to transfer any Lock-Up Securities during the period commencing on the date of the conversion of our Series X Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share into shares of our common stock (the “Preferred Stock Conversion”) and ending on the earliest of (x) one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of the Preferred Stock Conversion or (y) the date after the closing on which we complete a liquidation, merger, stock exchange, or other similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party resulting in all of its stockholders having the right to exchange their Lock-Up Securities for cash, securities, or other property. The Preferred Stock Conversion occurred on September 20, 2024, and therefore the Locked-Up Parties are no longer subject to the restrictions contained within the lock-up agreements.

On August 13, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with several institutional investors to sell in a registered direct offering an aggregate of 3,225,000 shares of our common stock at a per share price $1.20. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, our officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements whereby each such officer and director agreed, in part and subject to limited exceptions, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of our common stock between August 15, 2025, the date the offering closed, and November 13, 2025.

Consulting Agreements

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on July 25, 2024, we entered into consulting agreements with each of Surendra Ajjarapu and Prashant Patel (each a “Consulting Agreement” and collectively the “Consulting Agreements”), the material terms of which would become effective upon Mr. Ajjarapu or Mr. Patel, as applicable, are no longer employed by us for any reason. Accordingly, given Mr. Ajjarapu’s resignation from his roles as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the termination of his employment agreement on May 16, 2025, the terms of Mr. Ajjarapu’s Consulting Agreement took effect on that date. Mr. Ajjarapu no longer provides consulting services to us and his Consulting Agreement is not longer in effect.

The primary purpose of each Consulting Agreement was to enable us to continue to receive critical support and management-related services from Mr. Ajjarapu and Mr. Patel for up to a period of two years after either Mr. Ajjarapu or Mr. Patel, as applicable, was no longer employed by us. Specifically, the Consulting Agreements state that the duties of Mr. Ajjarapu and Mr. Patel may include, but not necessarily be limited to (i) assisting with the development of our corporate strategies, organizational design, research and development, product commercialization, and such matters otherwise requested by our officers; (ii) assisting with the ideation and analysis of financial structuring and accounting approaches and alternatives we should consider and can implement in the course of raising money, financing and funding its operations and initiatives, and optimizing its cost efficiencies and effectiveness; (iii) assisting with the creation and dissemination of corporate and financial information regarding us to the investment and financial community and public at large as requested by us through our authorized personnel, pursuant to applicable company policies; and (iv) other such consultation our officers deem useful to our management and within the scope of their expertise.

As consideration for Mr. Ajjarapu providing services under his Consulting Agreement, we agreed (i) to reimburse Mr. Ajjarapu for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses associated with Mr. Ajjarapu’s services to us, including travel costs, research expenses, copy and production charges, and courier fees, as substantiated by statements submitted to and approved by us and (ii) to issue Mr. Ajjarapu 702,086 shares of our common stock (subject to certain equitable adjustments) in eight installments beginning on the date that Mr. Ajjarapu’s employment with us terminates for any reason, which occurred upon his resignation from his roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on May 16, 2025. On such date, Mr. Ajjarapu’s Executive Employment Agreement, as amended, terminated. We have terminated Mr. Ajjarapu’s Consulting Agreement and owe no further compensation to him.

As consideration for Mr. Patel providing services under his Consulting Agreement, we agreed (i) to reimburse Mr. Patel for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses associated with Mr. Patel’s services to us, including travel costs, research expenses, copy and production charges, and courier fees, as substantiated by statements submitted to and approved by us and (ii) to issue Mr. Patel 614,325 shares of our common stock (subject to certain equitable adjustments) in eight installments beginning on the date that Mr. Patel’s employment with us terminates for any reason. On such date, Mr. Patel’s Executive Employment Agreement, as amended, was to terminate. In the event that Mr. Patel terminated his Consulting Agreement or we terminated his Consulting Agreement for cause, then we would owe no further compensation to him. On May 20, 2025, Mr. Patel simultaneously resigned from employment with us and agreed to terminate his engagement as a consultant for us. We agreed to issue Mr. Patel 750,000 shares of our common stock and to issue an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Patel if he brings to us any bona fide commercial revenue bearing product opportunity resulting in our signing a definitive agreement with the relevant party. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, Mr. Patel is neither an employee of, nor a consultant for, us.

Independent Contractor Agreement

On March 13, 2025, in connection with the appointment of Eric Sherb as our Chief Financial Officer, we entered into an independent contractor agreement with EMS Consulting Services, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Sherb (the “ICA”). Pursuant to the ICA, Mr. Sherb agreed to perform, on a full-time basis, all services (a) assigned by our Co-Chief Executive Officers and (b) otherwise necessary or convenient in fulfilling the obligations associated with serving as the Chief Financial Officer of a publicly-traded company with common stock listed on Nasdaq. In exchange, we agreed to pay Mr. Sherb (i) an annual cash fee of $100,000; (ii) an annual grant of shares of the our common stock equal to an aggregate amount of $50,000, to be issued as soon as reasonably practicable upon signing the ICA and every year thereafter during the term of the ICA; and (c) an annual discretionary bonus in an amount, if any, determined in the sole discretion of our board of directors. The ICA will continue until terminated by the Company or Mr. Sherb on no less than 14 days’ prior notice. On May 26, 2026, Mr. Sherb resigned from his positions as Chief Financial Officer, but continues to provide services to us as a consultant under the ICA.

Subsidiary Sales

On April 8, 2025, we entered into (i) a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “IPS MIPA”) with Tollo Health, Inc. (“Tollo”), pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and we agreed to sell all of our membership interests in Integra Pharmacy Solutions LLC (“IPS”), one of our previously wholly owned subsidiaries, and (ii) a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Bonum SPA” and together with the IPS MIPA, the “Agreements”) with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and we agreed to sell all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Bonum Health, Inc., another of our previously wholly owned subsidiaries. Suren Ajjarapu, our former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, and Prashant Patel, our former President, Chief Operating Officer, and Director, each had a beneficial interest in Tollo at the time of the transactions.

As consideration for acquiring IPS and Bonum, Tollo agreed to pay us $5 million in the form of a promissory note bearing interest at the prime rate. The promissory note matures on June 30, 2030. However, Tollo is required to pay 20% of the proceeds of a future equity financing toward repayment of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest owed under the promissory note.

In connection with each of the Agreements, we agreed to retain certain excluded liabilities of IPS and Bonum including all liabilities: (i) related to, in connection with or arising out of any claims, charges, complaints, actions, suits, settlements, hearings, investigations, proceedings, or governmental or regulatory inquiries with respect to IPS or Bonum, respectively, prior to the closing under the applicable Agreement; (ii) related to, in connection with or arising out of any breach by us of the applicable Agreement or any other agreements and documents required to be delivered by us; (iii) not disclosed by us in accordance with each Agreement; (iv) related to any actions threatened or initiated by a governmental entity against IPS or Bonum, respectively; and (v) related to tax returns or tax matters of us, IPS, or Bonum, respectively, for any periods prior to closing under the applicable Agreement. The parties closed on the IPS MIPA and the Bonum SPA on April 30, 2025.

Employment Agreements

Effective as of October 16, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, Scienture, LLC and each of Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan entered into amendments to their respective employment agreements. Pursuant to the amended employment agreements, each of Dr. Mani’s and Dr. Hariharan’s annual base salaries increased to $400,000, subject to periodic review by the compensation committee of our Board. In addition, the amended employment agreement increases the amount of the Severance Benefit to be paid to each of Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan, such that each of them will receive payment equal to (a) 24 months of his annual base salary if his employment terminates during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control or (b) 2 times the sum of his then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, his target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and his discretionary bonus if his employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control. The amended employment agreement also provides that Dr. Mani will receive the COBRA Benefit and the Insurance Benefit for 24 months following termination of employment.

Review and Approval of Related-Party Transactions

Our audit committee (which consists of all independent directors) is tasked with reviewing and approving related-party transactions. In reviewing such transactions, the committee will analyze the following factors, in addition to any other factors the committee deems appropriate, in determining whether to approve a related-party transaction:

	(1)	fairness of the terms to us (including fairness from a financial point of view);
	(2)	materiality of the transaction;
	(3)	bids/terms for such transaction from unrelated parties;
	(4)	structure of the transaction;
	(5)	the policies, rules, and regulations of the U.S. federal and state securities laws;
	(6)	the policies of the committee; and
	(7)	interests of each related party in the transaction.

The committee will only approve a related party transaction if the committee determines that the terms of the related party transaction are beneficial and fair (including fair from a financial point of view) to us and are lawful under the laws of the United States. In the event multiple members of the committee are deemed a related party, the related party transaction will be considered by the disinterested members of our board of directors in place of the committee.

The committee is prohibited from approving or ratifying any related party transaction whereby we directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit, arrange for the extension of credit, or renew an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any of our directors or executive officers (or their equivalent).

In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which applies to all of our employees, officers, and directors, requires that all employees, officers, and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual’s personal interests and our interests. A copy of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026, and amended on April 30, 2026.
