QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE 2024 ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I Receiving these Materials?

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being provided for the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for the 2024 Annual Meeting.

What is Included in these Materials?

These materials include the Notice, this Proxy Statement, a proxy card, and our 2023 Annual Report.

What is the Purpose of the 2024 Annual Meeting?

This is the 2024 Annual Meeting of the Company’s Stockholders. At the meeting, you will be voting upon:

(1)

The election of two (2) Class I directors to serve terms in accordance with the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws;

(2)

The ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024;

(3)

The approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for officer exculpation;

(4)

The approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to add an exclusive forum provision; and

(5)

Any other business that may properly come before the 2024 Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of each of the Director Nominees in Proposal 1, and a vote “FOR” each of Proposal 2, Proposal 3, and Proposal 4.

How do Proxies Work?

Our Board is asking for your proxy. This means that you authorize persons selected by us to vote your shares at the meeting in the way you instruct and, with regard to any other business that may properly come before the meeting, as they think best.

I Share an Address with Another Stockholder and We Received Only One Paper Copy of the Proxy Materials. How May I Obtain An Additional Copy of the Proxy Materials?

The Company has adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, if requested to deliver proxy materials, we deliver a single copy of the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs, and the environmental impact of our annual meetings. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents.

To receive a separate copy of the Notice, the Proxy Statement and the Annual Report, you may contact us at the following address and phone number:

Dominari Holdings Inc.
725 5^th Avenue, 22^nd Floor
New York, New York 10022
Attention: Corporate Secretary
Telephone: (212) 393-4540

Stockholders who hold shares in “street name” (as described below) may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to request information about householding.

Who is Entitled to Vote?

Our Board has fixed the close of business on September 10, 2024 as the “Record Date” for a determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2024 Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. You can vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting if you held shares of our common stock, Series D convertible preferred stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) or Series D-1 convertible preferred stock (the “Series D-1 Preferred Stock”), collectively, the “Voting Capital” as of the close of business on the Record Date. On the Record Date, there were 6,276,138 shares of common stock outstanding, 3,825 shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding and 834 shares of Series D-1 Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

Our outstanding Series D Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to the following number of votes subject to the beneficial ownership limitations described below:

Series D Preferred Stock — each share of Series D Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 0.007285 votes; and

Series D-1 Preferred Stock — each share of Series D-1 Preferred Stock entitles the holder to 0.007285 votes.

A list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting will be available for inspection at our principal executive offices located at 725 5^th Avenue, 22^nd Floor, New York, New York 10022 for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the 2024 Annual Meeting and during the meeting. The stock transfer books will not be closed between the Record Date and the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting.

What is the Difference Between Holding Shares as a Record Holder and as a Beneficial Owner (Holding Shares in Street Name)?

If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are the “record holder” of those shares. If you are a record holder, these proxy materials have been provided directly to you by the Company.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares.

Who May Attend the 2024 Annual Meeting?

Record holders and beneficial owners on the Record Date may attend the 2024 Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in street name and you would like to vote your shares at the 2024 Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a valid proxy from the broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

If you vote by Internet or by telephone, please DO NOT mail your proxy card.

How Will My Shares Be Voted?

All shares which are entitled to vote and represented by a properly completed, executed and delivered proxy received before the 2024 Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting as instructed by you in a proxy delivered before the 2024 Annual Meeting. If you do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted “for” the approval of each of the Director Nominees, “for” each of Proposal 2, Proposal 3, and Proposal 4, and with regard to any other matters that may be properly presented at the 2024 Annual Meeting and all matters incident to the conduct of the meeting. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

Is My Vote Confidential?

Yes, your vote is confidential. The only persons who have access to your vote are the inspector of elections, individuals who help with processing and counting your votes, and persons who need access for legal reasons. Occasionally, stockholders provide written comments on their proxy cards, which may be forwarded to our Company’s management and the Board.

What Constitutes a Quorum?

To carry on business at the 2024 Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum is present when at least 33 1/3% of the shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date are represented in person or by proxy. Thus, holders of the Voting Capital representing at least 2,091,849 votes must be represented in person or by proxy at the 2024 Annual Meeting to have a quorum. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or if one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Shares held by us in treasury are not considered outstanding or considered to be present at the 2024 Annual Meeting. If there is not a quorum at the 2024 Annual Meeting, our stockholders may adjourn the meeting.

What is a Broker Non-Vote?

If your shares are held in street name, you must instruct the organization who holds your shares how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will not be voted on any non-routine proposal. This vote is called a “broker non-vote”. If you sign your proxy card, but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote, your broker will vote your shares as recommended by our Board. Broker non-votes are not included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the proposals and, therefore, do not affect these proposals.

Proposal 2 (the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm) is a “routine” matter on which your broker can exercise voting discretion. All other proposals are considered non-routine and therefore brokers cannot use discretionary authority to vote shares on other proposals to be considered at the 2024 Annual Meeting if they have not received instructions from their clients. Please submit your vote instruction form so your vote is counted.

What is an Abstention?

An abstention is a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Abstentions are not included in the tabulation of the voting results for any of the proposals and, therefore, do not affect these proposals. Abstentions are included for the purpose of determining whether a quorum has been reached.

How Many Votes Are Needed for Each Proposal to Pass?

Proposal No.	Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Vote Allowed
(1)	Election of two (2) Class I directors	Plurality of the votes cast (the two (2) directors receiving the most “For” votes)	No

(2)	Ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024	A majority of the votes cast	Yes

(3)	Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for officer exculpation	A majority of the votes cast	No

(4)	Approval of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to add an exclusive forum provision	A majority of the votes cast	No

What Are the Voting Procedures?

In voting by proxy regarding the election of the Class I directors, you may vote in favor of all nominees, withhold your votes as to all nominees, or withhold your votes as to specific nominees. Regarding other proposals, you may vote in favor of or against the proposal, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal. You should specify your respective choices on the accompanying proxy card or your vote instruction form.

All shares represented by proxy will be voted at the 2024 Annual Meeting in accordance with the choices specified on the proxy, and where no choice is specified, in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. Thus, where no choice is specified, the proxies will be voted FOR the approval of each of the Director Nominees in Proposal 1, and FOR each of Proposals 2, 3, and 4.

Is My Proxy Revocable?

You may revoke your proxy and reclaim your right to vote at any time before it is voted by (i) giving written notice to our administrator, (ii) delivering a properly completed, later-dated proxy card or vote instruction form to us or (iii) voting via the Internet at the 2024 Annual Meeting. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocations of proxies should be addressed to: Dominari Holdings Inc., 725 5^th Avenue, 22^nd Floor, New York, New York 10022, Attention: Chief Operating Officer. Revocations of proxies must be received prior to the time of the 2024 Annual Meeting to serve as an effective revocation of that proxy.

Do I Have Appraisal Rights?

Our stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under our governing documents with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

How can I find out the Results of the Voting at the 2024 Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Final voting results will be published in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the SEC within four (4) business days after the meeting.

Directorships

Except as otherwise reported otherwise in this Proxy Statement, none of our directors held directorships in other reporting companies or registered investment companies at any time during the past five years.

For more information on our directors, please see the information included in Proposal No. 1 – Election of Class I Directors, beginning on page 23 of this Proxy Statement.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Hayes currently holds the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). As Chairman of the Board and CEO, Mr. Hayes serves as the primary liaison between the Company and the independent directors. With input from other members of the Board, committee chairs and management, he presides over meetings of the Board.

Our Board, as a unified body and through committee participation, organizes the execution of its monitoring and oversight roles and does not expect its Chairman to organize those functions.

The Board has four standing committees: (i) Audit, (ii) Compensation, (iii) Nominating & Governance, and (iv) Investment. The Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Governance committees are comprised of all independent directors, with each of the committees having a separate chairman, each of whom is an independent director. Our non-management members of the Board meet in executive session at each quarterly board meeting.

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board has the responsibility for ensuring that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

The Board believes that establishing the right “tone at the top” and that full and open communication between executive management and the Board are essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our CEO and Chairman communicates frequently with other members of the Board to discuss strategy and the challenges we face. Senior management usually attends our regular quarterly Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management-related and any other matters.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee currently consists of Mr. Gregory James Blattner (Chairman) and Mr. Robert Dudley, each of whom the Board has determined satisfies the applicable SEC and Nasdaq independence requirements.

The Nominating Committee reviews, evaluates and proposes candidates for election to our Board, and considers any nominees properly recommended by stockholders. The Nominating Committee promotes the proper constitution of our Board so that it meets its fiduciary obligations to our stockholders, and oversees the establishment of, and compliance with, appropriate governance standards. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Nominating Committee then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new candidate(s). The Nominating Committee Charter is available on our website at www.dominariholdings.com.

Among other factors, when considering a prospective candidate, the Nominating Committee considers a candidate’s business experience and skills, attributes pertinent to Company business, personal integrity and judgment, and possible conflicts of interest. To date, the Nominating Committee has not utilized the services of any search firm to assist it in identifying director candidates. The Nominating Committee’s policy is to consider director candidate recommendations from its stockholders which are received prior to any annual meeting of stockholders, including confirmation of the candidate’s consent to serve as a director.

Stockholder Communication

As a stockholder of our Company, you may communicate in writing at any time with the entire Board or any individual director (addressed to “Board of Directors” or to a named director), c/o Dominari Holdings Inc., Attention: Chief Operating Officer, 725 5^th Avenue, 22^nd Floor, New York, New York 10022, or via e-mail at info@dominari.com.

Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

Our Company does not have a policy regarding Board members’ attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. All of our directors attended our last annual meeting of stockholders.

Director Qualifications and Diversity

The Board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the Board’s deliberations and decisions. Candidates should have substantial experience with one or more publicly traded companies or should have achieved a high level of distinction in their chosen fields. The Board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in strategic planning, business development, compensation, finance, accounting and banking.

In evaluating nominations to the Board, the Nominating Committee also looks for certain personal attributes, such as integrity, ability and willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment, comprehensive understanding of a director’s role in corporate governance, availability for meetings and consultation on Company matters, and the willingness to assume and carry out fiduciary responsibilities. The Nominating Committee took these specifications into account in formulating and re-nominating its present Board members.

The current director candidates, who are nominated to serve as non-executive directors, were recommended by management and nominated by the full Board.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics, which is available on our website at www.dominariholdings.com.

Conflicts of Interest

Members of our management are associated with other firms involved in a range of business activities. Consequently, there are potential inherent conflicts of interest in their acting as officers and directors of the Company. Although the officers and directors are engaged in other business activities, we anticipate they will devote an important amount of time to our affairs.

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become shareholders, officers or directors of other companies, which may be formed for the purpose of engaging in business activities similar to ours. Accordingly, additional direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on behalf of us or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Currently, we do not have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to their attention and may relate to our business operations.

Our officers and directors are, so long as they are our officers or directors, subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our plan of operation which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to us and the companies that they are affiliated with on an equal basis. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director. If we or the companies with which the officers and directors are affiliated both desire to take advantage of an opportunity, then said officers and directors would abstain from negotiating and voting upon the opportunity. However, all directors may still individually take advantage of opportunities if we should decline to do so. Except as set forth above, we have not adopted any other conflict of interest policy with respect to such transactions.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

The Board reviews issues involving potential conflicts of interest, and reviews and approves all related party transactions, including those required to be disclosed as a “related party” transaction under applicable federal securities laws. The Board has not adopted any specific procedures for conducting reviews of potential conflicts of interest and considers each transaction in light of the specific facts and circumstances presented. However, to the extent a potential related party transaction is presented to the Board, the Company expects that the Board would become fully informed regarding the potential transaction and the interests of the related party and would have the opportunity to deliberate outside of the presence of the related party. The Company expects that the Board would only approve a related party transaction that was in the best interests of, and fair to, the Company, and further would seek to ensure that any completed related party transaction was on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our Directors and named Executive Officers, and anyone who beneficially owns ten percent (10%) or more of our Company’s Common Stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership of Common Stock. Persons required to file such reports also need to provide us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon a review of (i) copies of the Section 16(a) filings received during or with respect to 2023, and (ii) certain written representations of our officers and directors, we believe that all filings required to be made pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during and with respect to 2023 were filed in a timely manner except for the following:

●

Christopher Devall filed a Form 4 on July 10, 2023 for a transaction that occurred on May 18, 2023.

●

George Way filed a Form 3 on September 4, 2023, though he became Chief Financial Officer of the Company on April 3, 2023.

Cumulative Total Share Return (“TSR”) value listed in each year reflects what the cumulative value of $100 would be if invested on December 31, 2020. TSR is calculated on a cumulative basis by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, if any, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period.

(6)	The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.

Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

The Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, not all of those Company measures are presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between the information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative TSR

The following graph illustrates the amount of “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) to Mr. Hayes and the average amount of CAP to the Company’s Named Executive Officers as a group (excluding Mr. Hayes) relative to the Company’s cumulative TSR over the three years presented in the table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income (Loss)

As demonstrated by the following table, the amount of CAP to Mr. Hayes and the average amount of CAP to the Company’s Named Executive officers as a group (excluding Mr. Hayes) is not aligned with the Company’s net loss over the three years presented in the table. The Company has not used net loss as a performance measure in the overall executive compensation program.

Effective October 11, 2023, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co. entered into a certain rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”). The Rights Agreement provides each stockholder of record a dividend distribution of one “right” for each outstanding share of common stock. Rights become exercisable at the earlier of ten days following: (1) a public announcement that an acquirer has purchased or has the right to acquire 4.99% or more of our common stock, in connection with, (x) the Company consolidating, or merging into any other person, (y) any person consolidates or merges with or into the Company or (z) the Company sells or otherwise transfers to any person or persons, in one or more transactions, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company or (2) the commencement of a tender offer which would result in an offer or beneficially owning 10% or more of our outstanding common stock. All rights held by an acquirer or offer or expire on the announced acquisition date, and all rights expire at the earliest of: (i) the close of business on October 11, 2024, subject to extension; (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed; (iii) the time at which the rights are exchanged; (iv) the closing of any merger or other acquisition transaction involving the Company pursuant to a specified agreement; (vi) the close of business on the date the Board determines that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary or desirable for the preservation of tax benefits; and (vii) the close of business on the first day of a taxable year of the Company to which the Board determines that no tax benefits are available to be carried forward. Each right entitles a stockholder to acquire, at a price of $5.00 per one one-thousandth of a share of our Series Q Preferred Stock, subject to adjustments, which carries voting and dividend rights similar to one share of our common stock. The purchase price of the preferred stock fractional amount is subject to adjustment for certain events as described in the Rights Agreement. At the discretion of a majority of the Board and within a specified time period, we may redeem all of the rights at a price of $0.0001 per right. The Board may also amend any provisions of the Rights Agreement prior to exercise.

PROPOSAL 2:
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our Board has appointed Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024. A representative of Marcum is expected to be present at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

The selection of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of our stockholders for ratification. However, our Company is submitting this matter to the stockholders as a matter of good corporate governance. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. If the appointment is not ratified, the Board will consider its options.

Our Audit Committee retains our independent registered public accounting firm and approves in advance all audit and non-audit services performed by this firm and any other auditing firms. Although management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal control, the Audit Committee consults with management and our independent registered public accounting firm regarding the preparation of financial statements and generally oversees the relationship of the independent registered public accounting firm with our Company. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, relating to their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards.

It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to determine that our Company’s financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or to plan or conduct audits. Those are the responsibilities of management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In giving its recommendation to the Board, the Audit Committee has relied on: (1) management’s representation that such financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles; and (2) the report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

Fees Paid to Auditor

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Consistent with SEC policies and guidelines regarding audit independence, the Audit Committee is responsible for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our principal accountants. Our Audit Committee has established a policy regarding approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our principal accountants. No non-audit services were performed by our principal accountants during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Our Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category and service. Our Audit Committee has pre-approved all of the services provided by our principal accountants.

VOTE REQUIRED

The affirmative vote of a majority votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the appointment of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. Both abstentions and broker non-votes will not have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MARCUM AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024 UNDER THIS PROPOSAL 2.

PROPOSAL 3:
APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO PROVIDE FOR OFFICER EXCULPATION

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (“Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) currently limits the monetary liability of directors in certain circumstances pursuant to and consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), but similar limitations of liability are not applicable to our officers. Effective August 1, 2022, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL was amended to enable Delaware corporations to limit the liability of certain officers in limited circumstances. In light of this update, we are proposing to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to provide for the exculpation of certain of the Company’s officers in specific circumstances, as permitted by Delaware law.

Article “SEVENTH” of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is proposed to be amended to limit officer liability, by amending and replacing the current Article “SEVENTH” in its entirety as follows:

“SEVENTH: To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as it exists on the date hereof or as it hereafter be amended, and any other applicable laws, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to this Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer with respect to any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her duties as a director or officer of the Corporation. No amendment to or repeal of this Article will apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or officer of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to the effectiveness of such amendment or repeal. If the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors or officers, then the liability of directors or officers shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as so amended.

The Corporation shall, to the extent required, and may, to the extent permitted, by Section 102 and Section 145 of the DGCL as amended from time to time, indemnify and reimburse all persons whom it may indemnify and reimburse pursuant thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided for in this Article SEVENTH shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those entitled to receive indemnification or reimbursement hereunder may be entitled under any by-law of this Corporation, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.”

Delaware law only permits, and our proposed amendment would only permit, exculpation of certain officers for direct claims (as opposed to derivative claims made by stockholders on behalf of the Company) and would not apply to breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or any transaction in which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. The proposed amendment would not be retroactive to any act or omission occurring prior to its effective date. Further, the exculpation provision would only apply to certain officers, namely a person who (during the course of conduct alleged to be wrongful) (i) is or was president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer or chief accounting officer; (ii) is or was identified in the Company’s public filings with the SEC as one of the most highly compensated executive officers of the Company; or (iii) has, by written agreement with the Company, consented to be identified as an officer for purposes of accepting service of process.

These proposed limits on the scope of our officers’ liability are intended to strike a balance between stockholders’ interest in accountability and their interest in the Company being able to attract and retain quality officers. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board considered the benefits and detriments of eliminating our officers’ personal liability under certain circumstances. Adopting the proposed amendment would better position the Company to attract top officer candidates and retain our current officers, by enabling the Company to assure those persons that exculpation to the extent permitted under Delaware law is available under applicable circumstances.

The nature of the role of corporate officers often requires them to make decisions on crucial matters and in response to time-sensitive opportunities and challenges, which can create substantial risk of investigations, claims, actions, suits, or proceedings seeking to impose liability based on hindsight regardless of merit, especially in the current litigious environment. Limiting our current and prospective officers’ concern about the risk of personal liability would empower them to best exercise their business judgment in furtherance of the interests of the Company and our stockholders.

The Board has considered the narrow class and type of claims for which officers’ liability would be exculpated and the benefits the Board believes would accrue to the Company and its stockholders – namely, an enhanced ability to attract and retain talented officers – and has determined that it would be advisable and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of certain of our officers in specific circumstances, as permitted by Delaware law and as described herein.

We expect that failing to adopt the proposed amendment could impact our ability to recruit and retain exceptional officer candidates who determine that the potential exposure to liabilities, costs of defense, and other risks of proceedings exceeds the benefits of serving as an officer of the Company.

If this Proposal No. 3 is approved, the Company intends to file an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware reflecting all of the proposed changes, which will become effective at the time of filing. The discussion above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

VOTE REQUIRED

The affirmative vote of a majority votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting is required for the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for officer exculpation.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PROVIDE FOR OFFICER EXCULPATION CONSISTENT WITH DELAWARE LAW UNDER THIS PROPOSAL 3.

PROPOSAL 4:
EXCLUSIVE FORUM AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Our Board recommends that our stockholders approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Exclusive Forum Amendment”) to add an exclusive forum provision which would specify that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Federal Forum Provision”) and state courts located within the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for Delaware Law Claims, as defined below (the “Delaware Forum Provision” and together with the Federal Forum Provision, the “Exclusive Forum Provision”).

A new Article “NINTH” is proposed to be added to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for an exclusive forum, with such provision to read as follows:

“NINTH: Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director or officer or other employee or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation or any director or officer or other employee of the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or (v) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state court located within the State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article NINTH shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction.”

The principal effects of the Exclusive Forum Provision will be that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum:

●

the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, subject to and contingent upon a final adjudication in the State of Delaware of the enforceability of such exclusive forum provision; and

●

the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any state court located within the State of Delaware or, if and only if all such state courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the following types of actions or proceedings under Delaware statutory or common law: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws; (iv) any action or proceeding to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (including any right, obligation, or remedy thereunder); (v) any action or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; or (vi) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any director or officer or other employee of the Company that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in all cases to the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants (clauses (i) - (vi), the “Delaware Law Claims”).

The Exclusive Forum Provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

We believe that the Federal Forum Provision is in the best interests of the Company. Our Board considered a number of factors prior to recommending the Federal Forum Provision as a prudent and proactive means for managing this type of potential litigation and to promote efficient and consistent resolutions in the event this type of litigation arises, including:

(i)

the potential for costly, duplicative litigation involving multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding essentially the same claims under the Securities Act of 1933, which could result in increased litigation expenses and greater uncertainty regarding outcomes that may be inconsistent when two or more similar cases proceed in different courts;

(ii)

the experience and expertise of the U.S. federal district courts in addressing issues and claims under the Securities Act of 1933 and federal case law regarding the same;

(iii)

the risk that a state court may not interpret or apply federal law, specifically the Securities Act of 1933, in the same manner as the U.S. federal district courts would be expected to do, or may handle procedural aspects differently than the U.S. federal district courts would be expected to do;

(iv)

the benefits of adopting the Federal Forum Provision when the Company is not facing any actual or threatened shareholder lawsuits under the Securities Act of 1933; and

(v)

the views of proxy advisors and certain institutional investors with respect to federal forum provisions.

Moreover, the Federal Forum Provision would not specify any particular U.S. federal district court as the exclusive forum for claims under the Securities Act of 1933, so a plaintiff could select, on the basis of convenience or for other reasons, the U.S. federal district courts in any state as the forum for any such claim. The Federal Forum Provision gives us the flexibility to consent to an alternative forum when we deem appropriate. In addition, we are not proposing the Exclusive Forum Provision in anticipation of any specific litigation confronting the Company; the Exclusive Forum Provision is being proposed on a prospective basis to help mitigate potential future harm to the Company and its stockholders.

We also believe that the Delaware Forum Provision is in the best interests of the Company and will help maximize stockholder value by allowing us to be able to draw upon Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance in making business and legal decisions. The Delaware legislature is sensitive to issues of corporate law and responsive to developments in modern corporate law. Delaware’s specialized Chancery Court deals almost exclusively with corporate law and has streamlined procedures and processes to provide relatively quick decisions. In addition, the Delaware Supreme Court, the only Delaware appeals court, is highly regarded. These courts have considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and have developed a substantial and influential body of corporate case law. Further, we believe that stockholders and the Company will benefit from the responsiveness of the Delaware courts. Therefore, the prominence, predictability and proactivity of the Delaware courts provides a reliable forum where our governance decisions can be based and litigated.

Although we could adopt the Exclusive Forum Provision without obtaining stockholder approval by including such provision in an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws, which amendment could be approved by our Board, without stockholder approval, we determined that it would be in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, and consistent with our commitment to strong corporate governance practices, for our stockholders to have the opportunity to consider and act upon the Exclusive Forum Provision.

If this Proposal No. 4 is approved, the Company intends to file an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware reflecting all of the proposed changes, which will become effective at the time of filing. The discussion above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Appendix A.

VOTE REQUIRED

The affirmative vote of a majority votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting is required for the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to provide for exclusive forum.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO PROVIDE FOR AN EXCLUSIVE FORUM PROVISION UNDER THIS PROPOSAL 4.
