PROPOSAL 2

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are asking stockholders to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation on our Named Executive Officers as discussed in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” in this Proxy Statement. While this vote is non-binding, we value the opinions of our stockholders and, consistent with our record of stockholder engagement, will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to endorse the executive compensation programs and policies and the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers.

We believe in the power of open disclosure and know the only way to build and strengthen our reputation and our Company is through honesty and trust. In connection with that belief and as required by SEC rules, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

As discussed under the heading “Executive Compensation” in this Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee’s compensation objectives are to: attract and retain highly qualified individuals with a demonstrated record of achievement; reward past performance; provide incentives for future performance; and align the interests of the Named Executive Officers with the interests of our stockholders. The Board is asking stockholders to support this proposal based in Washington, D.C. Her career spans investment banking, valuation consulting, and oversight of financial reporting and internal controls. Ms. Wachtel has been a director of six Nasdaq-listed companies since joining her firm in 1984, and currently serves on the disclosure set forth in these sections of this Proxy Statement, which, among other things, demonstrates:

The Board recommends that stockholders to vote FOR, in a non-binding vote, the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, the stockholders of VSE Corporation (VSEC), a provider of engineering services principallyWaveDancer, Inc. approve on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to federal government clients, and The ExOne Co. (XONE), a global provider of 3D printing machines, products, and services. Her securities industry experience includes service onour Named Executive Officers as disclosed pursuant to the Advisory Committee for the National Market System Consolidated Audit Trail, LLC, an entity created by ordercompensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation tables and ten yearsaccompanying narrative disclosure under the heading “Executive Compensation” included in the Proxy Statement.”

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK BY A RATIO OF ANY WHOLE NUMBER BETWEEN 1-FOR-5 AND 1-FOR-15, AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO OCTOBER31, 2023, WITH THE EXACT RATIO TO BE SET WITHIN THAT RANGE AT THE DISCRETION OF OUR BOARD WITHOUT FURTHER APPROVAL OR AUTHORIZATION OF OUR STOCKHOLDERS.

General

We are seeking stockholder approval to grant the Board discretionary authority to amend the Charter to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock by a ratio of any whole number between 1-for-5 and 1-for-15, at any time prior to October 31, 2023 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). A copy of the form of certificate of amendment for the Reverse Stock Split is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A. One of the primary reasons we are seeking stockholder approval of a reverse stock split is that we believe it will enable us to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements.

The Reverse Stock Split will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock or preferred stock or the relative voting power of such holders of our outstanding common stock and preferred stock. The number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock will materially increase and will be available for reissuance by the Company. The Reverse Stock Split, if effected, would affect all of our stockholders uniformly.

The Board unanimously approved, and recommended seeking stockholder approval of, the Reverse Stock Split, on August 1, 2023. If this Reverse Stock Split is approved by the stockholders, the Board will have the authority, in its sole discretion, without further action by the stockholders, to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Board’s decision as to whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split, if approved by the stockholders, will be based on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, existing and expected trading prices for our common stock, actual or forecasted results of operations, and the likely effect of such results on the market price of our common stock.

A reverse stock split will also affect our outstanding stock options and our outstanding warrants. Under our stock option incentive plans and warrant securities, the number of shares of common stock deliverable upon exercise or grant must be appropriately adjusted and appropriate adjustments must be made to the purchase price per share to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate our shares of common stock or obtain control of the Company, nor is it a plan by management to recommend a series of similar actions to the Board or our stockholders.

There are certain risks associated with a reverse stock split, and we cannot accurately predict or assure the Reverse Stock Split will produce or maintain the desired results (for more information on the risks see the section below entitled “Certain Risks Associated with a Reverse Stock Split”). The Board believes that the benefits to the Company outweigh the risks and recommends that you vote in favor of granting the Board the discretionary authority to effect the Reverse Stock Split.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The Board believes that effecting the Reverse Stock Split would increase the price of our common stock which would, among other things, help us to:

Meet Nasdaq Listing Requirements - Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol WAVD. On December 9, 2022, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying us that, for the previous 30 consecutive trading days, the closing bid price for our common stock was below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were given 180 calendar days, or until June 7, 2023, to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company did not regain compliance as of that date and, after a hearing with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”), on August 8, 2023, we were granted an extension until October 31, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”) to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). As of the date of this Proxy, we were not in compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). If we do not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by the Compliance Date, the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to us that our common stock will be subject to immediate delisting. Although we believe that implementing the Reverse Stock Split is likely to lead to compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that the closing share price after implementation of the Reverse Stock Split will succeed in restoring such compliance.

Appeal to a Broader Range of Investors to Generate Greater Investor Interest in the Company – An increase in our stock price may make our common stock more attractive to investors. Brokerage firms may be reluctant to recommend lower-priced securities to their clients. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential purchasers of our common stock. Investment funds may also be reluctant to invest in lower-priced stocks. Investors may also be dissuaded from purchasing lower-priced stocks because the brokerage commissions, as a percentage of the total transaction, tend to be higher for such stocks. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower-priced stocks. Giving the Board the ability to effect the Reverse Stock Split, and thereby increase the price of our common stock, would give the Board the ability to address these issues if it is deemed necessary.

We are exploring various sources of financing, including potential future sales of common stock or other securities. There can be no assurance, however, even if the Reverse Stock Split is approved and implemented, that any financing transaction will be undertaken or completed. If we are unable to successfully raise sufficient additional capital, through future sales of common stock or other securities or through strategic and collaborative arrangements, we will not have sufficient cash to fund our planned business operations and or may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Improve the Perception of Our Common Stock as an Investment Security – The Board believes that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is one potential means of increasing the share price of our common stock to improve the perception of our common stock as a viable investment security. Lower-priced stocks have a perception in the investment community as being risky and speculative, which may negatively impact not only the price of our common stock, but also our market liquidity.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

Even if a reverse stock split is effected, some or all of the expected benefits discussed above may not be realized or maintained. The market price of our common stock will continue to be based, in part, on our performance and other factors unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of outstanding shares of our common stock without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued common stock, which will also have the effect of increasing the number of shares of common stock available for issuance. The issuance of additional shares of our common stock would have a dilutive effect on the ownership of existing stockholders. The current economic environment in which we operate, the debt we carry, along with otherwise volatile equity market conditions, could limit our ability to raise new equity capital in the future.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

If our stockholders approve the proposed Reverse Stock Split and the Board elects to effect the Reverse Stock Split, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, for example, would decrease at a rate of approximately one (1) share of common stock for every five (5) shares of common stock currently outstanding in a 1-for-5 split. The Reverse Stock Split would be effected simultaneously for all of our common stock, and the exchange ratio would be the same for all shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split would affect all of our stockholders uniformly and would not affect any stockholders’ percentage ownership interests in the Company, except due to rounding fractional shares up to the nearest whole share. The Reverse Stock Split would not affect the relative voting or other rights that accompany the shares of our common stock, except due to rounding fractional shares up to the nearest whole share. Common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split would remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split would not affect our securities law reporting and disclosure obligations, and we would continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We have no current plans to take the Company private. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split is not related to a strategy to do so.

In addition to the change in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, the Reverse Stock Split would have the following effects:

Increase the Per Share Price of our Common Stock – By effectively condensing a number of pre-split shares into one share of common stock, the per share price of a post-split share is generally greater than the per share price of a pre-split share. The amount of the initial increase in per share price and the duration of such increase, however, is uncertain. The Board may utilize the Reverse Stock Split as part of its plan to maintain the required minimum per share price of the common stock under the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications. Ms. Wachtel holds B.A.listing standards.

Increase in the Number of Shares of Common Stock Available for Future Issuance – By reducing the number of shares outstanding without reducing the number of shares of available but unissued common stock, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of authorized but unissued shares. The Board believes the increase is appropriate for use to fund the future operations of the Company. Although the Company does not have any pending acquisitions for which shares are expected to be used, the Company may also use authorized shares in connection with the financing of future acquisitions.

The following table contains approximate information relating to our common stock, based on share information as of the record date:

Although the Reverse Stock Split would not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the Reverse Stock Split without a reduction in the number of shares authorized for issuance would reduce the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance, giving the Board an effective increase in the authorized shares available for issuance, in its discretion. The Board from time to time may deem it to be in the best interests of the Company to enter into transactions and M.B.A. degrees fromother ventures that may include the Universityissuance of Chicagoshares of our common stock. If the Board authorizes the issuance of additional shares subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split, the dilution to the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be greater than would occur had the Reverse Stock Split not been effected.

Require Adjustment to Currently Outstanding Securities Exercisable into Shares of our Common Stock – The Reverse Stock Split would effect a reduction in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of our outstanding stock options and the exercise of our outstanding warrants in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio. The exercise price of outstanding options and warrants would increase, likewise, in proportion to the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

Require Adjustment to the Number of Shares of Common Stock Available for Future Issuance Under our 2021 Stock Incentive Plan – In connection with any reverse stock split, the Board would also make a J.D. fromcorresponding reduction in the Universitynumber of Virginia. She is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).shares available for future issuance under the foregoing plan so as to avoid the effect of increasing the number of authorized but unissued shares available for future issuance under such plans.

In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than one hundred (100) shares of common stock, which may be more difficult to sell and may cause those holders to incur greater brokerage commissions and other costs upon sale.

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders, the Board, in its sole discretion, would determine whether to implement the Reverse Stock Split, taking into consideration the factors discussed above, and, if implemented, determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split.

We would then file a Certificate of Amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of the State of Delaware. The form of the Certificate of Amendment is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A and is considered a part of this Proxy Statement. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, without any further action on our part or our stockholders, the issued shares of common stock held by stockholders of record as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split would be converted into a lesser number of shares of common stock calculated in accordance with the Reverse Stock Split ratio of any whole number between 1-for-5and 1-for-15, at any time prior to October 31, 2023.

Effect on Beneficial Holders (i.e., Stockholders Who Hold in “Street Name”)

If the proposed Reverse Stock Split is approved and effected, we intend to treat common stock held by stockholders in “street name,” through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their own names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their customers holding common stock in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. If you hold shares of common stock with a bank, broker or other nominee and have any questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your bank, broker or other nominee.

Effect on Registered “Book-Entry” Holders (i.e., Stockholders That are Registered on the Transfer Agent’s Books and Records but do not Hold Certificates)

Some of our registered holders of common stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent, Issuer Direct. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of common stock. They are, however, provided with access to a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, no action needs to be taken to receive post-reverse stock split shares. If a stockholder is entitled to post-reverse stock split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of common stock held following the Reverse Stock Split.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split. If the number of shares of post-split common stock for any shareholder includes a fraction, such fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Ownership percentages are not expected to change meaningfully as a result of rounding up fractional shares that result from the exchange. Similarly, no fractional shares will be issued on the exercise of outstanding stock options, awards or rights, except as otherwise expressly specified in the documents governing such options or rights.

Accounting Matters

The par value of our common stock would remain unchanged at $0.001 per share, if the Reverse Stock Split is effected.

The Company’s stockholders’ equity in its consolidated balance sheet would not change in total. However, the Company’s stated capital (i.e., $0.001 par value times the number of shares issued and outstanding), would be proportionately reduced based on the reduction in shares of common stock outstanding. Additional-paid-in capital would be increased by an equal amount, which would result in no overall change to the balance of stockholders’ equity.

Additionally, net income or loss per share for all periods would increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Stock Split since there would be a lower number of shares outstanding. We do not anticipate that any other material accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Potential Anti-Takeover Effect

Even though the proposed Reverse Stock Split would result in an increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares, which could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of us with another company), the Reverse Stock Split is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or obtain control of us, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to the Board and our stockholders.

No Appraisal Rights

Our stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and we will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of our common stock. This summary addresses the tax consequences only to a U.S. holder, which is a beneficial owner of our common stock that is either:

This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this proxy statement.

This summary does not address backup withholding and information reporting. This summary does not address U.S. holders who beneficially own common stock through a “foreign financial institution” (as defined in Code Section 1471(d)(4)) or certain other non-U.S. entities specified in Code Section 1472. This summary does not address tax considerations arising under any state, local or foreign laws, or under federal estate or gift tax laws.

If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our common stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

General Tax Treatment of the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368 of the Code that should constitute a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a reorganization, the Company should not recognize gain or loss. Further, assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as a reorganization, a U.S. holder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of our common shares for a lesser number of common shares, based upon the reverse stock split ratio. A U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the lesser number of common shares received in the Reverse Stock Split will be the same such U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in the shares of our common stock that such U.S. holder owned prior to the Reverse Stock Split. The holding period for the ordinary shares received in the Reverse Stock Split will include the period during which a U.S. holder held the shares of our common stock that were surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split. The United States Treasury regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of our common stock surrendered to the shares of our common stock received pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. U.S. holders of shares of our common stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.

THE FOREGOING IS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A TAX OPINION. EACH HOLDER OF OUR COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AND FOR REFERENCE TO THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE CODE.

Dissenters’ Rights

No dissenters’ rights are available under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or under the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws to any stockholder who dissents from this Proposal.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth herein regarding the proposed Reverse Stock Split except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our common stock.

Reservation of Right to Abandon Reverse Stock Split

We reserve the right to abandon the Reverse Stock Split without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Amendment to the Charter, even if the authority to effect the Reverse Stock Split has been approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting. By voting in favor of the Reverse Stock Split, you are expressly also authorizing the Board to delay, not to proceed with, and abandon, the Reverse Stock Split if it should so decide, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of the Company.

Vote Required for Approval of this Proposal

The approval of the amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split requires the affirmative votes of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal. Abstentions will have the effect of negative votes; broker non votes will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Recommendation

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

Independence

OurThe Audit Committee has appointed CohnReznick LLP ("CohnReznick") as our independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The Board has determinedproposes that with the exception of Messrs. Benoit and Reese, all the members of the Board qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market:

There are no family relationships between any directors or executive officers of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

IAI does not have a policy on whether the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) should be separate. Currently, G. James Benoit, Jr. serves as CEO and Chairman. Although the Board does not have a “lead” independent director, all of the Board’s committees – Audit, Compensation, and Corporate Governance and Nominations – are led by independent directors.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board receives regular communication fromstockholders ratify this appointment. CohnReznick audited our management regarding areas of significant risk to us, including operational, strategic, legal and regulatory, and financial risks. Certain risks that are under the purview of a particular Committee are monitored by that Committee, which then reports to the full Board as appropriate.

Committees of the Board of Directors and Meetings

Meeting Attendance. Duringstatements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 there were four meetings2022. We expect that representatives of CohnReznick will not be present at the meeting, will therefore be unable to make a statement, and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee directly engages CohnReznick as it relates to the audit and reviews of the Company’s annual and quarterly, respectively, consolidated financial statements. In accordance with its written charter, our Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services, including the scope of contemplated services and the related fees, that are to be performed by CohnReznick, subject to the de minimis exceptions described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The Audit Committee’s pre-approval of non-audit services involves consideration of the impact that providing such services may have on CohnReznick’s independence.

Although stockholder approval of the Board of Directors’ selection of CohnReznick is not required by law, the Board believes that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection.

In the event the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of CohnReznick, as our independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accountants.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of CohnReznick as the independent registered public accounting firm.

Attendance at Board may considerand Stockholder Meetings

 During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, our Board of Directors held five formal meetings, and each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (1) the total number of meetings of our Board of Directors held during the period for which he or she has been a director and (2) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which he or she served during the periods that he or she served.

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of our Board of Directors at the annual meetings of stockholders, we strongly encourage, but do not require, directors to attend.

Independence

We determine independence using the definitions set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These definitions define independence based on whether the director or a family member of the director has been employed by the Company in the past three years, how much compensation the director or family member of a director received from the Company, how much stock the director or a family member of the director owns in the Company, and whether the director or a family member of the director is associated with the Company’s independent auditor.

Our Board has determined that the following members of the Board qualify as independent:

Paul B. Becker
James C. DiPaula, Jr.
Jack L. Johnson, Jr.
William H. Pickle
Bonnie K. Wachtel

There are no family relationships between any directors or executive officers of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, the Board does not have a fixed policy regarding the separation of the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and believes that it should maintain the flexibility to select the Chairman and its leadership structure, from time to time, based on the criteria that it deems in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders. This has allowed the Board the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time.

Currently, G. James Benoit, Jr. serves as Chairman and CEO, which the Board believes best serves the interest of the Company and its stockholders at this time. Although the Board does not have a “lead” independent director, each of the Board Committees is led by an independent director.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board receives regular communication from our management regarding areas of significant risk to us, including operational, strategic, legal and regulatory, and financial risks. Certain risks that are under the purview of a particular Committee are monitored by that Committee, which then reports to the full Board as appropriate.

Director Nominations

The Board of Directors nominates directors for election at each Annual Meeting of Stockholders and appoints new directors to fill vacancies when they arise. The Governance and Nominating Committee has the responsibility to identify, evaluate, recruit, and recommend qualified candidates recommended by shareholdersto the Board for nomination or election.

One of the Board’s objectives in evaluating director nominations is to ensure that its membership is composed of experienced and dedicated individuals with a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The Governance and Nominating Committee will select nominees for director based on their character, judgment, diversity of experience, business acumen, and ability to act on behalf of all stockholders. We do not have a formal diversity policy. However, the Governance and Nominating Committee endeavors to have a Board representing diverse viewpoints as well as fromdiverse expertise at policy-making levels in many areas, including business, accounting and finance, healthcare, manufacturing, marketing and sales, education, legal, government affairs, regulatory affairs, research and development, business development, international aspects of our business, technology, and in other sourcesareas that are relevant to our activities.

The Governance and Nominating Committee believes that nominees for director should have experience, such as directors or officers, third party search firms or other appropriate sources. For all potential candidates,those mentioned above, that may be useful to the Company and the Board, may consider all factorshigh personal and professional ethics, and the willingness and ability to devote sufficient time to carry out effectively their duties as directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee believes it deems relevant, suchappropriate for at least one, and, preferably, multiple, members of the Board of Directors to meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by rules of the SEC, and for a majority of the members of the Board of Directors to meet the definition of “independent director” as defined by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Governance and Nominating Committee also believes it appropriate for key members of our management to participate as members of the Board of Directors. Prior to each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Governance and Nominating Committee identifies nominees first by evaluating the current directors whose term will expire at the Annual Meeting and who are willing to continue in service. These candidates are evaluated based on the criteria described above, including as demonstrated by the candidate’s prior service as a candidate’s personal integritydirector, and sound judgment, business and professional skillsthe needs of the Board with respect to the particular talents and experience independence, knowledge of its directors. In the industryevent that a director does not wish to continue in which we operate, possible conflicts of interest, diversity,service, the extentGovernance and Nominating Committee determines not to whichre-nominate the candidate would filldirector, or if a present needvacancy is created on the Board and concern forof Directors as a result of a resignation, an increase in the long-term interestssize of the shareholders. In general, personsBoard or other event, the Committee will consider various candidates for Board membership, including those suggested by the Committee members, by other Board members, by any executive search firm engaged by the Committee or by stockholders. The Committee recommended by shareholders will be considered on the same basis as candidates from other sources. If a shareholder wishes to nominate a candidate to be considerednominees for election as a director at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it must follow the procedures describedincluded in “Shareholder Proposals and Nominations for Director.”this Proxy Statement.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee’s primary functions are to assist the Board in meeting its responsibilities with respect to oversight and determination of executive compensation and to review and make recommendations with respect to our major compensation plans, policies, and programs. All compensation for our executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board, which is composed only of independent directors. The Compensation Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing executives’ performance and establishing the total compensation of our executive officers on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee often discusses compensation matters as part of regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings. The Compensation Committee administers our equity plans, and is responsible for approving grants of equity awards under such plans. The Compensation Committee acts under the authority of a written charter, which is available on our website at ir.wavedancer.com/corporate-governance.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation philosophy for our Named Executive Officers is the same as for all our employees and is governed by the following principles. The Compensation Committee’s compensation objectives are to:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Summary Compensation Table below sets forth individual compensation information for the ChiefEach Named Executive Officer and the other executive officers serving as executive officers as of December 31, 2020 (collectively “Named Executive Officers”):

¹References to All Other Compensation include employer matching contributions to each individual’s 401(k) defined contribution account under our company-wide 401(k) Pension and Profit-Sharing Plan, routine payouts of excess vacation accruals, and employer payments for long-term care insurance under an executive carve-out.

³Mr. Reese was appointed Interim President and CEO effective January 1, 2021, and President and CEO effective February 17, 2021. On March 31, 2021, Mr. Reese’s salary was increased to $250,000 per annum retroactive to January 1, 2021.

⁴Due to illness, Mr. DeRose took a leave of absence effective April 29, 2020. He ultimately retired in 2021. Mr. Sands was appointed Acting Chief Financial Officer on April 20, 2020. On February 4, 2021, Mr. Sands was appointed Chief Financial Officer at a salary of $165,000.

Executive officers are eligible to participate in the Information Analysis IncorporatedWaveDancer 401(k) Pension and Profit-SharingProfit Sharing Plan under the same terms and matching percentages as other salaried employees. Vacation accruals in excess of defined limits are automatically paid out to all salaried employees annually, and may be paid other times upon request. Executive officers may receive a perquisite benefit of no-cash-value long-term care insurance paid by the Company.

The Compensation Committee considers, with respect to each of our executive officers, the total compensation that may be awarded to determine final compensation. The Compensation Committee’s overall goal is to award compensation that is reasonable when all elements of potential compensation are considered. The Compensation Committee believes that cash compensation in the form of base salary and, although not guaranteed, an annual incentive bonus, provides the executives with short-term rewards for success in operations, and that long-term compensation through the award of stock options and other equity awards aligns the objectives of management with those of our stockholders with respect to long-term performance and success.

The Compensation Committee also has historically focused on our financial and working capital condition when making compensation decisions and approving performance objectives. The Compensation Committee will continue to periodically reassess the appropriate weighting of cash and equity compensation in light of the Company’s expenditures in connection with commercial operations and its working capital needs.

Executive Compensation

The Summary Compensation Table below sets forth compensation information for (i) those individuals who served as the Chief Executive Officer during 2022, (ii) up to two other individuals serving as executive officers on December 31, 2022 and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (ii) hereof but for the fact they were not serving as an executive officer on December 31, 2022 (collectively “Named Executive Officers”):

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF REINCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY

FROM THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA TO THE STATE OF DELAWARE

General

The Board has unanimously approved and recommends that shareholders approve the reincorporation of the Company from the Commonwealth of Virginia to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation” or the “Reincorporation Proposal”). This approval and recommendation have been provided by the entire Board. The Company would affect the Reincorporation pursuant to a plan of domestication in form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (the “Plan of Domestication”). As part of the Reincorporation, the name of the entity following the completion of the Reincorporation will be “WaveDancer, Inc.” (the “DE CORP”). Additionally, the authorized capital of the Company will be 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with the right of the Board to issue such shares pf preferred stock in one or more series, each with such rights and preferences as the Board determines. At the effective time of the domestication (the “Effective Time”), the Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2 (the “Delaware Certificate of Incorporation”), and the Bylaws in the form attached hereto Appendix 3 (the “Delaware Bylaws”), will govern the DE IAI. All descriptions of the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws are qualified by and subject to the more complete information set forth in those documents.

Upon the Effective Time:

The Delaware Certificate of Incorporation provides for a staggered Board of Directors. If the Reincorporation is approved, please see Proposal 1 for the respective classes to which each elected director will be assigned. 

No regulatory approval (other than various filings with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia and the Secretary of State of Delaware discussed above) is required to effect the Reincorporation. The terms of the Reincorporation are described in more detail in the Plan of Domestication and all descriptions of the Reincorporation are qualified by and subject to the more complete information therein.

Reasons for theReincorporation

The State of Delaware has been a leading jurisdiction in adopting a comprehensive and coherent set of corporate laws that are responsive to the evolving legal and business needs of corporations organized under Delaware law. Our Board believes that it is important for the Company to be able to draw upon well-established principles of corporate governance in making legal and business decisions. The prominence and predictability of Delaware corporate law provide a reliable foundation on which our governance decisions can be based, and we believe that our shareholders will benefit from the responsiveness of Delaware corporate law to their needs. In addition, the Board believes that direct benefits that Delaware law provides to a corporation indirectly benefit our shareholders, who are our owners. Specifically, our Board believes that there are several benefits of the Reincorporation, as summarized below.

Access to Specialized Courts

Delaware has a specialized court of equity called the Court of Chancery that hears corporate law cases. The Delaware Court of Chancery operates under rules that are intended to ensure litigation of disputes in a timely and effective way, keeping in mind the timelines and constraints of business decision-making and market dynamics. The appellate process on decisions emanating from the Court of Chancery is similarly streamlined, and the justices of Delaware appellate courts tend to have substantial experience with corporate cases because of the relatively higher volume of these cases in the Delaware courts. As the leading state of incorporation for both private and public companies, Delaware has developed a vast body of corporate law that helps to promote greater consistency and predictability in judicial rulings. In contrast, Virginia does not have a similar specialized court established to hear corporate law cases. Rather, disputes involving questions of Virginia corporate law are either heard in law courts of general jurisdiction, alongside other civil cases, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, a federal district court. These courts hear many different types of cases, and the cases may be heard before judges or juries with limited corporate law experience. As a result, corporate law cases brought in Virginia may not proceed as expeditiously as cases brought in Delaware and the outcomes in such courts may be less consistent and predictable.

Delaware has one of the most modern statutory corporation codes, which is revised regularly in response to changing legal and business needs of corporations. The Delaware legislature is particularly responsive to developments in modern corporate law and Delaware has proven sensitive to changing needs of corporations and their shareholders. The Delaware Secretary of State is viewed as particularly flexible and responsive in its administration of the filings required for mergers, acquisitions and other corporate transactions. Delaware has become a preferred domicile for most major American corporations and the Delaware corporate law and administrative practices have become comparatively well-known and widely understood. As a result of these factors, it is anticipated that the Delaware corporate law will provide greater efficiency, predictability and flexibility in the Company’s legal affairs than is presently available under Virginia law. In addition, Delaware case law provides a well-developed body of law defining the proper duties and decision-making processes expected of boards of directors in evaluating potential or proposed extraordinary corporate transactions.

Enhanced Ability to Attract and Retain Directors and Officers

The Board believes that the Reincorporation will enhance our ability to attract and retain qualified directors and officers, as well as encourage directors and officers to continue to make independent decisions in good faith on behalf of the Company. We are in a competitive industry and compete for talented individuals to serve on our management team and on our Board. The vast majority of public companies are incorporated in Delaware. Not only is Delaware law more familiar to directors, it also offers greater certainty and stability from the perspective of those who serve as corporate officers and directors. The parameters of director and officer liability are more extensively addressed in Delaware court decisions and are therefore better defined and better understood than under Virginia law. The Board believes that the Reincorporation will enhance our ability to recruit and retain directors and officers. We believe that the better understood and comparatively stable corporate environment afforded by Delaware law will enable us to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers.

We have provided a discussion of differences between the Delaware and Virginia corporate laws below under the heading “Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation.”

No Change in Business, Jobs, Physical Location, Etc.

The Reincorporation Proposal will effect a change in the legal domicile of the Company and other changes of a legal nature, the most significant of which are described below under the heading “-Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After the Reincorporation.” The Reincorporation Proposal will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of our offices or facilities, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation). Our management, including all directors and officers, will remain the samerecord in connection with the reincorporation and will have identical positions with DE CORP. To the extent the Reincorporation will require the consent or waiver of a third party, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent or waiver before completing the Reincorporation. If a material consent cannot be obtained, the Company will not proceed with the Reincorporation. The Reincorporation will not otherwise affect any of the Company’s material contracts with any third parties and the Company’s rights and obligations under such material contractual arrangements will continue as rights and obligations of DE CORP as a Delaware corporation. Because the Company’s corporate headquarters, management and employees are located in Austin, Virginia, the Company’s status as a Delaware corporation physically located in Virginia will require the Company to comply with reporting and tax obligations in Delaware. The Board has considered the additional franchise tax obligations and believes that the benefits discussed above outweigh the additional costs.

Comparison of Shareholder Rights Before and After theReincorporation

The Reincorporation will effect some changes in the rights of the Company’s shareholders.our 2022 Annual Meeting.  This is as a result of differences between the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (“VSCA”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), as well as differences between each of the Company’s charter documents before and after the Reincorporation. Summarized below are the most significant differences between the rights of the Company’s shareholders before and after the Reincorporation. The differences between the current Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company (the “Virginia Articles of Incorporation”) and the Bylaws of the Company (the “Virginia Bylaws”) and the proposed Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws, as relevant to such rights, are noted within this summary. The summary below is not intended to be relied upon as an exhaustive list of all the differences or a complete description of the differences resulting from the Reincorporation. Furthermore, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the DGCL, the Virginia Articles of Incorporation and Virginia Bylaws, the VSCA, and the Company’s proposed Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware Bylaws.

Certificated Stock

At the effective time of the Reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of the Company will automatically be converted into one share of DE CORP Common Stock. If you hold physical stock certificates, you do not have to exchange your existing stock certificates of the Company for stock certificates of the resulting Delaware corporation; however, after the Reincorporation, any shareholder desiring a new form of stock certificate may submit the existing stock certificate to Issuer Direct, the Company’s transfer agent.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of theReincorporation

The proposed Reincorporation is expected to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Assuming the Reincorporation qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, we believe that for federal income tax purposes no gain or loss will be recognized by the Company, DE CORP or the shareholders of the Company who receive DE CORP Common Stock for their Company Common Stock in connection with the Reincorporation. The aggregate tax basis of DE CORP Common Stock received by a shareholder of the Company as a result of the Reincorporation will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Company Common Stock converted into that DE CORP Common Stock held by that shareholder as a capital asset at the time of the Reincorporation. Each shareholder’s holding period of the DE CORP Common Stock received in the Reincorporation will include the holding period of the Company Common Stock converted into that DE CORP Common Stock, provided the shares are held by such shareholder as a capital asset at the time of the Reincorporation.

This proxy statement only discusses U.S. federal income tax consequences and has done so only for general information. It does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular shareholders based upon individual circumstances or to shareholders who are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, shareholders who hold their stock through a partnership or as part of a straddle or other derivative arrangement, foreign holders or holders who acquired their shares as compensation, whether through employee stock options or otherwise. This proxy statement does not address the tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws. State, local or foreign income tax consequences to shareholders may vary from the federal income tax consequences described above, and shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the consequences to them of the Reincorporation under all applicable tax laws.

This discussion is based on the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations, judicial authority and administrative rulings and practice, all in effect as of the date of this proxy statement, all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change, possibly with retroactive effect. The Company has neither requested nor received a tax opinion from legal counsel or rulings from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the consequences of the Reincorporation. There can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions would not alter the consequences discussed above.

You should consult your own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences to you of the Reincorporation, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax laws.

Securities Law Consequences

The shares of DE CORP Common Stock to be issued for shares of Company Common Stock in the Reincorporation are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In that respect, the Company is relying on Rule 145(a)(2) under the Securities Act, which provides that a merger that has as its sole purpose a change in a corporation’s domicile does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the Securities Act and on interpretations of Rule 145(a)(2) by the SEC to the effect that certain changes in the redomiciled corporation’s charter or bylaws in connection with the reincorporation that otherwise could be made only with the approval of shareholders does not render Rule 145(a)(2) inapplicable. After the Reincorporation, DE CORP will be a publicly held company, DE CORP Common Stock will continue to be listed on the OTCQB under the symbol “WAVD” unless our application to the Nasdaq Capital Market is approved, in which case our common stock will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. DE CORP will file with the SEC and provide to its stockholders the same type of information that the Company has previously filed and provided. Shareholders, whose shares of Company Common Stock are freely tradable before the Reincorporation, will continue to have freely tradable shares of DE CORP Common Stock. Shareholders holding restricted shares of Company Common Stock will have shares of DE CORP Common Stock that are subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their present shares of Company Common Stock are subject. In summary, DE CORP and its shareholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Reincorporation as the Company and its shareholders prior to the Reincorporation.

Effect of Not Obtaining the Required Vote for Approval

If the Reincorporation Proposal fails to obtain the requisite vote for approval, the Reincorporation will not be consummated, and the Company will continue to be incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors do not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in in this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the reincorporation of the Company from the Commonwealth of Virginia to the state of Delaware.

PROPOSAL 3

APPROVAL OF THE 2021 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The 2021 Stock Incentive Plan

General

The Board of Directors approved and adopted, subject to the shareholder approval, the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan ("the Stock Incentive Plan" or the “Plan”) on October 11, 2021. If the Plan is approved by the shareholders, the Company will be authorized to grant equity awards to eligible service providers following the effective date of the Plan. The form of the Plan is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix 4. The shareholders are being asked to approve the Plan as presented.

Purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan Proposal

The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by encouraging service providers to focus on critical long-range corporate objectives and linking service providers directly to shareholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Company believes that the Stock Incentive Plan will be important in helping to attract and retain service providers of the Company with exceptional qualifications. The Company and its subsidiaries currently have a total of approximately 200 employees, consultants, officers and directors that may be issued incentives under this plan.

Reasons for the Approval of the Stock Incentive Plan Proposal

Shareholder approval of the Stock Incentive Plan is necessary in order for the Company to (a) meet the shareholder approval requirements of the NASDAQ and (b) grant incentive stock options (“ISOs”).

Consequences if the Stock Incentive Plan Proposal is Not Approved

If the Stock Incentive Plan is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Stock Incentive Plan will not become effective and the Company will not be able to grant equity awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. We believe that our ability to recruit, retain and incentivize top talent will be adversely affected if the Stock Incentive Plan is not approved.

General

The Plan is intended to advance the interests of the company and our stockholders by enabling us to attract and retain qualified individuals through opportunities for equity participation, and to reward those individuals who contribute to the achievement of our economic objectives.  The Plan allows us to award eligible recipients incentive awards, consisting of:means that:

All of our employees and any subsidiary employees (including officers and directors who are also employees), as well as all of our non-employee directors and other consultants, advisors and other persons with whom we have a relationship will be eligible to receive incentive awards under the Plan. As of October 4, 2021, there were approximately 53 employees, 6 non-employee directors and an indeterminate number of consultants, advisors or other persons with whom we have a relationship eligible to participate in the Plan.

5,000,000 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance in connection with awards granted under the Plan. All of such shares are available for issuance in connection with incentive stock options (described below) granted under the Plan. Shares that are issued under the Plan or that are subject to outstanding incentive awards reduce the number of shares remaining available under the Plan.  Any shares subject to an incentive award that lapses, expires, is forfeited, terminates unexercised or unvested, or is settled or paid in cash or other consideration will automatically again become available for issuance under the Plan.

If the exercise price of any option or any associated tax withholding obligations are paid by a participant’s tender or attestation as to ownership of shares (as described below), or if tax withholding obligations are satisfied by the Company withholding shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of an option, only the net number of shares issued will reduce the number of shares remaining available under the Plan.

In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, rights offering, divestiture or extraordinary dividend (including a spin-off) or any other similar change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, appropriate adjustment will be made to:

Administration

The Plan will be administered by our Compensation Committee. We refer to the Compensation Committee administering the Plan as the “Committee.”

The Committee has the authority to determine all necessary or desirable provisions of incentive awards, including, the eligible recipients who will be granted one or more incentive awards under the Plan, the nature and extent of the incentive awards to be made to each participant, the time or times when incentive awards will be granted, the duration of each incentive award, and payment or vesting restrictions and other conditions. The Committee has the authority to amend or modify the terms of outstanding incentive awards so long as the amended or modified terms are permitted under the Plan and any affected participant has consented to the amendment or modification.

The Plan became effective, subject to stockholder approval, on October 11, 2021 and, unless terminated earlier, the Plan will terminate at midnight on October 11, 2031. Incentive awards outstanding at the time the Plan is terminated may continue to be exercised, or become free of restriction, according to their terms. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion of the Plan at any time, and may amend the Plan from time to time to conform incentive awards to any change in applicable laws or regulations or in any other respect that the Board may deem to be in our best interests. However, no amendments to the Plan will be effective without stockholder approval if it is required under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Listing Rules of Nasdaq.

Termination, suspension or amendment of the Plan will not adversely affect any outstanding incentive award without the consent of the affected participant, except for adjustments in the event of changes in capitalization or a “change in control,” discussed below.

In general, no right or interest in any incentive award may be assigned or transferred by a participant, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or subjected to any lien or encumbrance. However, the Committee may permit a participant to transfer of all or a portion of a non-statutory stock option, other than for value, to certain family members or related family trusts, foundations or partnerships. Any permitted transferee of a non-statutory stock option will remain subject to all the terms and conditions of the incentive award applicable to the participant.

Options

The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the option grant date (or 110% if the participant beneficially owns more than 10% of our outstanding stock). Under the Plan, “fair market value” on a given day means the average of the reported high and low sale prices of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

In general, the Plan requires a participant to pay an option’s exercise price in cash. The Committee may, however, allow exercise payments to be made, in whole or in part, by delivery of a broker exercise notice (pursuant to which a broker or dealer is irrevocably instructed to sell enough shares or loan the optionee enough money to pay the exercise price and to remit such sums to the Company), by tender or attestation as to ownership of shares of common stock that have been held for the period of time necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and that are otherwise acceptable to the Committee, or by a combination of such methods. Any shares of common stock tendered or covered by an attestation will be valued at their fair market value on the exercise date.

The aggregate fair market value of shares of common stock with respect to which incentive stock options may become exercisable by a participant for the first time during any calendar year (and under all “incentive stock option” plans of the Company or any subsidiary) may not exceed $100,000. Any incentive stock options in excess of this amount will be treated as non-statutory stock options.  Options may be exercised in whole or in installments, as determined by the Committee, and the Committee may impose conditions or restrictions to the exercisability of an option, including that the participant remain continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary for a certain period. An option may not remain exercisable after 10 years from its date of grant (or five years from its date of grant if the participant beneficially owns more than 10% of our outstanding stock).

Restricted Stock Awards

A restricted stock award is an award of common stock vesting at such times and in such installments as may be determined by the Committee and, until it vests, that is subject to restrictions on transferability and the possibility of forfeiture. Restricted stock awards may be subject to any restrictions or vesting conditions that the Committee deems appropriate, including that the participant remain continuously employed by the Company or a subsidiary for a certain period.

Unless the Committee determines otherwise, any dividends (other than regular quarterly cash dividends) or distributions paid with respect to shares of common stock subject to the unvested portion of a restricted stock award will be subject to the same restrictions as the shares to which such dividends or distributions relate. Holders of restricted stock awards will have the same voting rights as holders of unrestricted common stock.

Restricted Stock Units

A restricted stock unit is an award that represents a promise to issue to the participant shares of common stock once certain criteria specified in the award are satisfied. The criteria may be that the participant remain employed until a specified date or dates or that various performance objectives are satisfied. No stock ownership rights are conferred upon the participant until the restricted stock unit awards are settled upon the satisfaction of the specified criteria.

Performance Awards

The Plan permits the grant of performance-based stock and cash awards. The Committee may structure awards so that the stock or cash will be issued or paid only following the achievement of certain pre-established performance goals during a designated performance period.

The Committee may establish performance goals by selecting from one or more performance criteria set forth in the Plan, including, but not limited to: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; total stockholder return; return on equity or average stockholders’ equity; return on assets, investment, or capital employed; stock price margin (including gross margin); income (before or after taxes); operating income (before or after taxes); pre-tax profit; operating cash flow; sales or revenue targets; increases in revenue; expenses and cost reduction goals; improvement in or attainment of working capital levels; economic value added; market share; cash flow (including cash flow per share); share price performance; debt reduction; strategic partnerships and transactions; stockholders’ equity; capital expenditures; operating profit or net operating profit; growth of net income or operating income; budget management; and other measures of performance selected by the Committee.

Change in Control of the Company

In the event a “change in control” of the Company occurs, then:

The Committee may also determine that some or all participants holding outstanding options will receive shares or a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option shares immediately prior to the effective date of the change in control over the exercise price per share of the options (or, in the event that there is no excess, that such options will be terminated).

For purposes of the Plan a “change in control” of the Company generally occurs if:

Effect of Termination of Employment or Other Service

If a participant ceases, other than as a result of death or disability, to be employed by (or provide services to) the Company and all subsidiaries, all of the participant’s incentive awards will terminate as set forth below (unless modified by the Committee in its discretion as described below).

Upon termination due to death or disability, all outstanding options, whether vested or unvested, will become immediately exercisable in full and will remain exercisable for a period of 12 months (but in no event after the expiration date of the option). In addition, upon termination due to death or disability all unvested restricted stock and performance awards that have not vested as of such event will become immediately vested.

Upon termination for any reason other than death or disability (including retirement), all outstanding options will remain exercisable to the extent exercisable as of such termination for a period of 3 months thereafter (but in no event after the expiration date of any such option). In addition, upon termination for any reason other than death or disability (including retirement), all unvested restricted stock awards and performance awards will be terminated. However, if a participant’s termination is due to “cause” (as defined in the Plan) all rights of the participant under the Plan and any award agreements will immediately terminate without notice of any kind.

In connection with a participant’s termination, the Committee may cause the participant’s options to become or continue to become exercisable and restricted stock awards and performance awards to vest and/or continue to vest or become free of restrictions.

U.S. Income Tax Consequences

The following description of the federal income tax consequences under the laws of the United States is based on current statutes, regulations and interpretations, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The description does not include state or local income tax consequences. In addition, the description is not intended to address specific tax consequences applicable to an individual participant who receives an incentive award.

Incentive Stock Options.  There will not be any federal income tax consequences to either the participant or the company as a result of the grant of an incentive option under the Incentive Plan.

A participant’s exercise of an incentive option also will not result in any federal income tax consequences to the company or the participant, except that an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares acquired upon exercise of the incentive option, determined at the time of exercise, over the amount paid for the shares by the participant will be includable in the participant’s alternative minimum taxable income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Special rules will apply if previously acquired shares of common stock are permitted to be tendered or attested to in payment of an option exercise price.

If a participant disposes of the shares acquired upon exercise of the incentive option, the federal income tax consequences will depend upon how long the participant held the shares. If the participant held the shares for at least two years after the date of grant and at least one year after the date of exercise (the “holding period requirements”), then the participant will recognize a long-term capital gain or loss. The amount of the long-term capital gain or loss will be equal to the difference between (i) the amount the participant realized on disposition of the shares, and (ii) the option price at which the participant acquired the shares. The company is not entitled to any compensation expense deduction under these circumstances.

If the participant does not satisfy both of the above holding period requirements (a “disqualifying disposition”), then the participant will be required to report as ordinary income, in the year the participant disposes of the shares, the amount by which the lesser of (i) the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise of the incentive option or (ii) the amount realized on the disposition of the shares, exceeds the option price for the shares. The company will be entitled to a compensation expense deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income includable in the taxable income of the participant. This compensation income may be subject to withholding. The remainder of the gain recognized on the disposition, if any, or any loss recognized on the disposition, will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.

Non-Statutory Stock Options. Neither the participant nor the company incurs any federal income tax consequences as a result of the grant of a non-statutory option. Upon exercise of a non-statutory option, a participant will recognize ordinary income, subject to withholding, on the date of exercise in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the shares purchased, determined on the date of exercise, and (ii) the consideration paid for the shares. Special rules will apply if previously acquired shares of common stock are permitted to be tendered in payment of an option exercise price.

At the time of a subsequent sale or disposition of any shares of common stock obtained upon exercise of a non-statutory option, any gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss. The capital gain or loss will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.

In general, the company will be entitled to a compensation expense deduction in connection with the exercise of a non-statutory option for any amounts includable in the taxable income of the participant as ordinary income, provided the company complies with any applicable withholding requirements.

Restricted Stock Awards.  With respect to shares issued pursuant to a restricted stock award that are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, a participant may file an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) within 30 days after the shares are transferred to include as ordinary income in the year of transfer an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received on the date of transfer (determined as if the shares were not subject to any risk of forfeiture). The company will receive a corresponding tax deduction, provided that proper withholding is made. If a Section 83(b) election is made, the participant will not recognize any additional income when the restrictions on the shares issued in connection with the stock award lapse. At the time any such shares are sold or disposed of, any gain or loss will be treated as long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period from the date of receipt of the restricted stock award.

A participant who does not make a Section 83(b) election within 30 days of the transfer of a restricted stock award that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture will recognize ordinary income at the time of the lapse of the restrictions in an amount equal to the then fair market value of the shares, less any amount paid for the shares. The company will receive a corresponding tax deduction, provided that proper withholding is made. At the time of a subsequent sale or disposition of any shares of common stock issued in connection with a restricted stock award as to which the restrictions have lapsed, any gain or loss will be treated as long- term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period from the date the restrictions lapse.

Restricted Stock Units. At the time of settlement of a restricted stock unit award, when shares of common stock are transferred to the participant, the participant will recognize ordinary taxable income equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of transfer. The Company will be entitled to a compensation expense deduction in the year of transfer of the shares in an amount equal to the amount recognized by the participant as taxable income.

Performance Awards. The participant recognizes ordinary taxable income in the year in which a performance award is paid. The amount of taxable income is equal to the amount of cash paid to the participant or the fair market value of any shares of common stock transferred to the participant. Subject to the limitations of Section 162(m), the company will be entitled to a compensation expense deduction in the year of transfer of the shares in an amount equal to the amount recognized by the participant as taxable income.

Section 409A. The foregoing description assumes that Section 409A of the Code does not apply to an award. In general, options and stock appreciation rights are exempt from Section 409A if the exercise price per share is at least equal to the fair market value per share of the underlying stock at the time the option or stock appreciation right was granted. RSUs are subject to Section 409A unless they are settled within two and one half months after the end of the later of (a) the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which vesting occurs or (b) the end of the calendar year in which vesting occurs. Restricted stock awards are not generally subject to Section 409A. If an award is subject to Section 409A and the provisions for the exercise or settlement of that award do not comply with Section 409A, then the participant would be required to recognize ordinary income whenever a portion of the award vested (regardless of whether it had been exercised or settled). This amount would also be subject to a 20% U.S. federal tax in addition to the U.S. federal income tax at the participant’s usual marginal rate for ordinary income.

PROPOSAL 4

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Company seeks a non-binding advisory vote from shareholders to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as described in detail under the Executive Compensation of this Proxy Statement.

The Company’s Board of Directors and management believe that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to align the interests of executive officers with those of the shareholders and enhance the stability of the Company by rewarding performance above established goals. The Company’s compensation programs are designed to attract and retain high quality executive officers that are critical to long-term success.

This proposal gives you, as a shareholder of the Company, the opportunity to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the Company’s overall executive compensation of the Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, you may vote on the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the shareholders approve the compensation of Company's Named Executive Officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (which includes the compensation tables and related discussion).”

The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of shareholders and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Company’s executive compensation for Named Executive Officers.

PROPOSAL 5

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee has appointed CohnReznick LLP, independent registered public accountants, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.The Board proposes that the shareholders ratify this appointment. CohnReznick LLP, audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. We expect that representatives of CohnReznick LLP, will not be present at the meeting, will therefore be unable to make a statement, and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by CohnReznick LLP for the audits of the Company's annual financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and fees billed for other services rendered by our principal accountants during those periods.

The Audit Committee directly engages the Independent Registered Public Accountants as it relates to the audit of the Company’s fiscal year and the reviews of its fiscal quarters and the associated fees. In accordance with its written charter, our Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services, including the scope of contemplated services and the related fees, that are to be performed by CohnReznick LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, subject to the de minimis exceptions described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The Audit Committee's pre-approval of non-audit services involves consideration of the impact of providing such services on CohnReznick LLP's independence. All 2020 and 2019 non-audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Although shareholder approval of the Board of Directors' selection of CohnReznick LLP is not required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give shareholders an opportunity to ratify this selection.

In the event the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of CohnReznick LLP, as our independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accountants.
