• Special Meeting Set for November 10

  Shareholders of record as of September 17, 2026 will vote on eight proposals at a virtual special meeting on November 10, 2026; the board recommends FOR all eight.

• Reverse Split Up to 1,000-for-1

  Proposal 1 grants the board authority to effect one or more reverse splits at a ratio of up to 1,000-for-1 within three years, primarily to regain Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price; the Series E agreement caps a split at 500-for-1 without J.J. Astor's consent.

• Authorized Shares to 500 Million

  Proposal 5 would raise authorized Class A shares from 55,000,000 to 500,000,000 against 844,544 shares currently outstanding, to satisfy 300%-of-conversion share reserves for the Series D and Series E preferred and the $15 million equity line.

• Exchange Cap Removal and Related-Party Conversions

  Proposals 2 and 6 seek approval to issue more than 19.99% of outstanding shares on Series D, Series E and ELOC conversions and on J.J. Astor inventory-finance conversions (~$2.7M owed as of August 31, 2026), all at prices that may be below the Nasdaq minimum price.

This definitive proxy locks in the November 10, 2026 special meeting where shareholders vote on a package that reshapes the capital structure: authority for a reverse split of up to 1,000-for-1, an increase in authorized Class A shares from 55 million to 500 million, removal of the 19.99% Nasdaq exchange cap on the Series D and Series E preferred and the $15 million equity line, and approval of conversions under the related-party J.J. Astor inventory financing. The company has 844,544 shares outstanding and a $3.32 stock price, so the authorized-share increase is enormous relative to the current base — it exists to feed the 300%-of-conversion share reserves required by the preferred designations and the ELOC. Two items are new versus the September preliminary proxy: a 6,500,000-share 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (about 20% of fully diluted shares, with a 3% annual evergreen) and a name change to Boxlight Group Corporation. The proxy also discloses that the company missed the Certificate of Designation's 20-day special-meeting deadline and the registration rights filing/effectiveness deadlines, and has not obtained waivers — though no holder has yet demanded liquidated damages. Failure to pass these proposals would leave Tranche 2's $2 million unfunded, block ELOC draws, and risk an Event of Default that adds a 20% default premium to preferred stated value.
