• Highly Dilutive Capital Raise Approval

  Stockholders are asked to approve the issuance of 2,431,819 shares upon the exercise of outstanding warrants from a March 2026 offering. These warrants have exercise prices of $1.32 and $1.65 per share, and their full exercise could generate approximately $3.26 million. The company warns that non-approval could lead to cash repayment obligations it may not be able to meet, indicating a critical need for capital.

• New Equity Compensation Plan Proposed

  A new 2026 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan is proposed, initially authorizing 2,539,188 shares (including 339,188 shares rolled over from the prior plan). The plan also includes an "evergreen" provision for annual increases of up to 4% of outstanding shares for ten years, which would significantly increase potential future dilution and raise the fully-diluted overhang from 11.3% to 26.5%.

• Significant Shareholder Dilution

  The combined potential issuance from both the warrant exercise approval and the new equity compensation plan could introduce approximately 4,971,007 new shares, representing potential dilution of over 95% of the current outstanding common stock (5,208,915 shares).

• Guaranteed Approval by Super-Voting Shares

  The CEO, Pete O'Heeron, holds Series C Preferred Stock with super-voting rights, representing approximately 24% of the total voting power. These shares are irrevocably committed to vote "FOR" all proposals, effectively ensuring their passage despite the substantial dilution for other shareholders.

This preliminary proxy statement outlines critical proposals for the upcoming annual meeting, which, if approved, will result in substantial dilution for existing shareholders. Proposal 3 seeks approval for the issuance of 2,431,819 shares upon the exercise of outstanding warrants from a March 2026 offering. The company explicitly states that failure to approve this could trigger cash repayment obligations it may not be able to meet, highlighting a critical need for capital. Proposal 4 requests approval for a new 2026 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, which would initially authorize 2,539,188 new shares, plus an annual "evergreen" increase of up to 4% of outstanding shares for ten years. Combined, these proposals represent potential dilution of over 95% of the current outstanding common stock. The CEO's super-voting Series C Preferred Stock, representing 24% of total voting power, is irrevocably committed to vote "FOR" all proposals, effectively guaranteeing their approval despite the significant dilution. This indicates a company in need of substantial capital, but at a very high cost to current equity holders.
