The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), for use at the special meeting in lieu of annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Meeting”), to be held at 11:00 a.m.______ on [May __], 2021,December __, 2022, at [Annual Meeting Location TBD] and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. Directors, officers and employees of the Company may also assist in the solicitation of proxies by mail, telephone, telefax, in person or otherwise, without additional compensation. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting materials to the owners of stock held in their names and the Company will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of such proxy materials. The Board has fixed MarchOctober 26, 20212022 as the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. On MarchOctober 26, 2021,2022, there were 10,029,43313,010,409 shares of Common Stock and 64,87239,810 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 170,716222,402 shares of Common Stock) issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock and each share of Series A Preferred Stock (on an as converted basis) is entitled to one vote per share. The Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that a quorum shall consist of the holders of at least a majorityone third of the shares of each class, and series of each class, to the extent applicable (unless more than one class and or series votes as a class, in which case a majority of the shares voting as a class) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. If such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders, entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice (other than the announcement at the meeting) until a date and time that a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. The Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that directors are to be elected by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the [four]four candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a majority. Shares present at the Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a majority. In all matters, like the election of directors, the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the shares voted on any matter shall be sufficient for the approval of the proposals in this proxy statement and any other business which may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. All shares of Common Stock represented in person or by valid proxies received by the Company prior to the date of, or at, the Meeting, and not revoked, will be voted as specified in the proxies or voting instructions. Votes that are left blank will be voted as recommended by the Board. With regard to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting, votes will be cast at the discretion of the proxies. 1 Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. 1
In the event that a broker, bank, or other agent indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a non-routine proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes. We believe that Proposal No. 1 relating to the election of directors is a non-routine proposal and Proposal No. 2, with respect to the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm, is a routine matter; therefore, your broker, bank or other agent will not be entitled to vote on Proposal No. 1 at the Meeting without your instructions. Broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Other than for the purpose of establishing a quorum, as discussed above, broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to be voted and will therefore not affect the outcome of the matters to be voted thereon. Any stockholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted, by written notice addressed to and received by our Chief Executive Officer, by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by electing to vote in person at the Meeting. The mere presence at the Meeting of the person appointing a proxy does not, however, revoke the appointment. IMPORTANTIMPORTANT: : If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, nominee or other institution, you should provide instructions to your broker, bank, nominee or other institution on how to vote your shares. Please contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for a proxy to be completed for your shares.
Our website address is included several times in this proxy statement as a textual reference only and the information in our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement. 2 PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS At the Meeting, four directors are to be elected, which number shall constitute our entire Board, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Pursuant to our bylaws, as amended, directors are to be elected by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the [four]four candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a majority. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named or for persons other than the named nominees. Unless otherwise specified in the proxy, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the stock represented thereby for the election as directors, each of the nominees whose names and biographies appear below. All of the nominees whose names and biographies appear below are presently our directors. In the event any of the nominees should become unavailable or unable to serve as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominees named will be unable to serve if elected. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

4 PROPOSAL 2 — APPROVAL OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
2016 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN We are asking our stockholders at the Special Meeting to approve our Third Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”). The 2016 Plan was originally approved, subject to obtaining stockholder approval, by our Board of Directors and became effective on September 2, 2016; it was subsequently amended and restated by the Board, first to increase to 2,000,000 (first amendment) and then to increase to 3,000,000 the number of shares available under the 2016 Plan, all of which shares have been allocated.
Currently, there are no shares available for issuance under the Plan. If the 2016 Plan is approved by our stockholders, an additional 2,000,000 shares of our common stock will be allocated to the 2016 Plan, for an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares.
Awards under the 2016 Plan may be granted to the Company’s directors, officers, consultants, contractors, advisors and employees; as of March 26, 2021, the Company had four directors, two officers, 7 other employees and approximately 19 contractors. Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the 2016 Plan will terminate on, and no further awards may be granted after, July 30, 2026.
Summary of the 2016 Plan
The following is a summary of certain terms of the 2016 Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the express terms of the 2016 Plan, a copy of which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.
Under the 2016 Plan, the Company has granted and, subject to approval of the 2016 Plan by our stockholders, will continue to grant, shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s directors, officers, employees and consultants. The 2016 Plan has been designed to provide the Board of Directors with an integral resource as it evaluates the Company’s compensation structure, performance incentive programs and long-term equity targets for executives and key employees.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board may designate as administrator of the 2016 Plan a Committee (the “Committee”) consisting of two or more directors who are (i) “Independent Directors” (as such term is defined under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market), (ii) “Non-Employee Directors” (as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) and (iii) “Outside Directors” (as such term is defined in Section 162(m) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)). The administrator of the 2016 Plan designates recipients of options (“Options”) and restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”), determines the terms and conditions of each Option and Restricted Stock agreement and interprets the provisions of the 2016 Plan. The administrator will designate whether Options granted under the 2016 Plan will constitute Incentive Stock Options (“Incentive Options”) or Nonqualified Stock Options (“Nonqualified Options”).
Eligibility
Generally, directors, officers and employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any subsidiary are eligible to receive grants under the 2016 Plan; provided that Incentive Options may only be granted to employees of the Company and any subsidiary.
Stock Subject to the 2016 Plan
Stock subject to grants may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired common stock. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2016 Plan, (i) the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan is 5,000,000. The shares of common stock subject to the 2016 Plan consist of unissued shares, treasury shares or previously issued shares held by any subsidiary of the Company. Any of such shares of common stock that may remain unissued and that are not subject to outstanding Options at the termination of the 2016 Plan will no longer be reserved for the purposes of the 2016 Plan, but until termination of the 2016 Plan the Company will at all times reserve a sufficient number of shares of common stock to meet the requirements of the 2016 Plan.
5
Terms and Conditions of Options
Options awarded under the 2016 Plan will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Option or a Nonqualified Option. The purchase price of each share of common stock purchasable under an Incentive Option will be determined by the administrator at the time of grant, but will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2016 Plan) of such share of common stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that for an Optionee who, at the time an Incentive Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary, the purchase price per share of common stock will be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of common stock on the date of grant. The purchase price of each share of common stock purchasable under a Nonqualified Option will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such share of common stock on the date the Option is granted.
The term of each Option shall be fixed by the administrator, but no Option will be exercisable more than ten years after the date on which such Option is granted or, in the case of an Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time such Incentive Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, no such Incentive Option will be exercisable more than five years after the date on which such Incentive Option is granted.
Terms and Conditions of Restricted Stock
Restricted Stock may be granted to eligible participants at any time as shall be determined by administrator. Subject to the 2016 Plan, the administrator determines (i) the number of shares subject to a Restricted Stock award granted to any participant, and (ii) the conditions that must be satisfied for the grant, vesting or issuance of Restricted Stock, which typically will be based principally or solely on continued provision of services but may include a performance-based component.
Restricted Stock grants will be subject to the terms, conditions, and restrictions determined by the administrator at the time the stock or the restricted stock unit is awarded. Any certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock awarded shall bear such legends as shall be determined by the administrator.
Transferability of Awards
Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the participant, only by the participant, without the prior written consent of the administrator. If the administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the administrator deems appropriate.
Merger or Change in Control
In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2016 Plan), the administrator may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of outstanding Options, in whole or in part, as determined by the administrator. The administrator may also determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option will terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Optionee thereunder, and each such Optionee will receive, with respect to each share of the Company’s common stock subject to such Option, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares immediately prior to such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option; such amount will be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or a combination thereof, as the administrator shall determine in its sole discretion.
In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, or other change in corporate structure affecting the Company’s common stock, the administrator will make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan and in the number and option price of shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the 2016 Plan, to the end that after such event each Optionee’s proportionate interest will be maintained (to the extent possible) as immediately before the occurrence of such event. The administrator shall, to the extent feasible, make such other adjustments as may be required under the tax laws so that any Incentive Options previously granted shall not be deemed modified within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made in the case of outstanding Restricted Stock granted under the Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax consequences as of the date hereof with respect to awards under the 2016 Plan for participants who are both citizens and residents of the United States. This description of the federal income tax consequences is based upon law and Treasury interpretations in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement (including proposed and temporary regulations which may be changed when finalized), and it should be understood that this summary is not exhaustive, that the law may change and that special rules may apply with respect to situations not specifically discussed herein, including federal employment taxes, foreign, state and local taxes and estate or inheritance taxes. Accordingly, participants are urged to consult with their own qualified tax advisors.
Non-Qualified Options
No taxable income will be realized by the participant upon the grant of a non-qualified option. On exercise, the excess of the fair market value of the stock at the time of exercise over the option price of such stock will be compensation and (i) will be taxable at ordinary income tax rates in the year of exercise, (ii) will be subject to withholding for federal income tax purposes and (iii) generally will be an allowable income tax deduction to us. The participant’s tax basis for stock acquired upon exercise of a non-qualified option will be equal to the option price paid for the stock, plus any amounts included in income as compensation. If the participant pays the exercise price of an option in whole or in part with previously-owned shares of common stock, the participant’s tax basis and holding period for the newly-acquired shares is determined as follows: As to a number of newly-acquired shares equal to the number of previously-owned shares used by the participant to pay the exercise price, no gain or loss will be recognized by the participant on the date of exercise and the participant’s tax basis and holding period for the previously-owned shares will carry over to the newly-acquired shares on a share-for-share basis, thereby deferring any gain inherent in the previously-owned shares. As to each remaining newly acquired share, the participant’s tax basis will equal the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise and the participant’s holding period will begin on the day after the exercise date. The participant’s compensation income and our deduction will not be affected by whether the exercise price is paid in cash or in shares of common stock. Special rules, discussed below under “Incentive Stock Options — Disposition of Incentive Option Shares,” will apply if a participant surrenders previously-owned shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive option that have not satisfied certain holding period requirements in payment of any or all of the exercise price of a non-qualified option.
Disposition of Option Shares
When a sale of the acquired shares occurs, a participant will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the sales proceeds and the tax basis of the shares. Such gain or loss will be treated as capital gain or loss if the shares are capital assets. The capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss treatment if the shares have been held for more than twelve months. There will be no tax consequences to us in connection with a sale of shares acquired under an option.
Incentive Stock Options
The grant of an Incentive Stock Option will not result in any federal income tax to a participant. Upon the exercise of an incentive option, a participant normally will not recognize any income for federal income tax purposes. However, the excess of the fair market value of the shares transferred upon the exercise over the exercise price of such shares (the “spread”) generally will constitute an adjustment to income for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax of the participant for the year in which the option is exercised. As a result of the exercise a participant’s federal income tax liability may be increased. If the holder of an incentive stock option pays the exercise price, in full or in part, with shares of previously acquired common stock, the exchange should not affect the incentive stock option tax treatment of the exercise. No gain or loss should be recognized on the exchange and the shares received by the participant, equal in number to the previously acquired shares exchanged therefor, will have the same basis and holding period as the previously acquired shares. The participant will not, however, be able to utilize the old holding period for the purpose of satisfying the incentive stock option holding period requirements described below. Shares received in excess of the number of previously acquired shares will have a basis of zero and a holding period, which commences as of the date the common stock is issued to the participant upon exercise of the incentive option. If an exercise is effected using shares previously acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option, the exchange of the previously acquired shares will be considered a disposition of such shares for the purpose of determining whether a disqualifying disposition has occurred.
7
Disposition of Incentive Option Shares
If the incentive option holder disposes of the stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option (including the transfer of acquired stock in payment of the exercise price of another incentive stock option) either within two years from the date of grant or within one year from the date of exercise, the option holder will recognize ordinary income at the time of such disqualifying disposition to the extent of the difference between the exercise price and the lesser of the fair market value of the stock on the date the incentive option is exercised or the amount realized on such disqualifying disposition. Any remaining gain or loss is treated as a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the shares were held prior to the disqualifying disposition. In the event of such disqualifying disposition, the incentive stock option alternative minimum tax treatment described above may not apply (although, where the disqualifying disposition occurs subsequent to the year the incentive stock option is exercised, it may be necessary for the participant to amend his return to eliminate the tax preference item previously reported).
Our Deduction.
We are not entitled to a tax deduction upon either exercise of an incentive option or disposition of stock acquired pursuant to such an exercise, except to the extent that the option holder recognized ordinary income in a disqualifying disposition.
Stock Grants
A participant who receives a stock grant under the 2016 Plan generally will be taxed at ordinary income rates on the fair market value of shares when they vest, if subject to vesting or other restrictions, or, otherwise, when received. However, a participant who, within 30 days after receiving such shares, makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, will recognize ordinary income on the date of issuance of the stock equal to the fair market value of the shares on that date. If a Section 83(b) election is made, the holding period for the shares will commence on the day after the shares are received and no additional taxable income will be recognized by the participant at the time the shares vest. However, if shares subject to a Section 83(b) election are forfeited, no tax deduction is allowable to the participant for the forfeited shares. Taxes are required to be withheld from the participant at the time and on the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant. We will be entitled to a deduction at the same time and in the same amount as the participant recognizes income.
New Plan Benefits
Neither the directors of the Company nor any of the officers of the Company have received or been allocated any awards under the 2016 Plan which were not previously approved by the shareholders, except that the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approved, subject to stockholder approval of the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, an award of 75,000 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to each Director elected by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting and an additional 25,000 RSUs to each Board Committee member, for service on one or more Committees.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF
OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, (which was added by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010) and related rules of the SEC, we are including a separate proposal subject to stockholder vote to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of those of our executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement, or our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.
The vote on this proposal is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. To the extent there is any significant vote against our named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the compensation committee of our Board, or the Compensation Committee, will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns of stockholders.
Based on the above, we request that you indicate your support for our executive compensation philosophy and practices, by voting in favor of the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as described in this proxy statement, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, the compensation tables and the other narrative compensation disclosures.”
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall be sufficient to approve this Proposal 3.

Broker non-votes will not impact the outcome of the vote on this proposal but will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

The Company has never received communications from stockholders recommending individuals to any of our independent directors.

We have not received any recommendations from stockholders for Board nominees. All of the nominees for election at the Meeting are current members of our Board.Board, while one current member is stepping off the board. Board Leadership Structure. Our Board leadership structure had historically included the combined positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. While Marc Schessel was the CEO, the Company believed that this structure was appropriate for a company of our size and complexity because the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (a) was most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, (b) possessed detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company, and was thus best positioned to develop agendas to ensure the Board’s time and attention are focused on matters which are critical to the Company, and (c) conveyed a clear, cohesive message to our stockholders, employees and industry partners. Effective after the Annual Meeting, Mark D. Shefts will serve as the Company’s Chairman of the Board.
In his position as Chairman of the Board, Mr. Shefts will beIrby is responsible for setting the agenda and priorities of the Board. As President and COO,CEO, Mr. Timothy Hannibal leads our day-to-day business operations and is accountable directly to the full Board. MrMr. Christopher Kohler, our CFO, reports to Mr. Hannibal and is responsible for overseeing the financial operations of the Company. We believe that this structure provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company. Risk Oversight. The Board, including the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating/Governance Committee, periodically reviews and assesses the significant risks to the Company. Our management is responsible for the Company’s risk management process and the day-to-day supervision and mitigation of risks. These risks include strategic, operational, competitive, financial, legal and regulatory risks. Our Board leadership structure, together with the frequent interaction between our directors and management, assists in this effort. Communication between our Board and management regarding long-term strategic planning and short-term operational practices include matters of material risk inherent in our business. The Board plays an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. Each of our Board committees is focused on specific risks within their areas of responsibility, but the Board believes that the overall enterprise risk management process is more properly overseen by all of the members of the Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of financial and accounting risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for setting standards for and recommending director nominees to the Board and advising the Board about corporate 12
governance matters. While each committee is responsible for the evaluation and management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports. The Board incorporates the insight provided by these reports into its overall risk management analysis. 7 The Board administers its risk oversight responsibilities through the PresidentChief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who, together with management representatives of the relevant functional areas review and assess the operations of the Company as well as operating management’s identification, assessment and mitigation of the material risks affecting our operations. The Board has not adopted any policies involving the ability of employees (including officers) or directors to pursue financial instruments or otherwise engage in transactions that hedge or offset (or are designed to hedge or offset) any decrease in the market value of the Company’s Common Stock.

Prior to retaining our Independent Auditors, we had previously appointed Withum Smith+Brown,financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2022. BF Borgers CPA PC has served as our independent auditors fromregistered public accounting firm since April 16, 2019 to October 19, 2020.2021. Prior to April 2021, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm was Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC, and for the year ending December 31, 2019, Withum Smith+served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company does not anticipate a representative from either firm to attend the annual meeting.
On October 14, 2020, Withum Smith + Brown (“Withum”), SCWorx Corp.’s independent registered public accounting firm, notified SCWorx Corp. (the “Company” or “Registrant”) that it would no longer be able to provide audit and review services to the Company, effective October 14, 2020. The audit and review services were discontinued for reasons unrelated to the reviews or audited financials of the Company. Withum had audited the Company’s financial statements since 2019. Withum’s report on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was such report qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except for an explanatory paragraph relating to a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and through October 14, 2020, there were no disagreements with Withum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Withum’s satisfaction, would have caused Withum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, and through October 14, 2020, there were no “reportable events” as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K, except for material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. On October 20, 2020, the Company appointed Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC (“SG”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. This appointment was authorized and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and through October 20, 2020, the Company did not consult with SG on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or consult with SG for the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, where a written report or oral advice was provided that SG concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue. In addition, the Company did not consult with SG on the subject of any disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions or on any “reportable events” as identified under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 21, 2021, on April 15, 2021, Sadler Gibb & Associates, LLC notified the Company that it was (i) terminating its engagement to provide audit and review services to the Company, effective April 14, 2021, and (ii) withdrawing its consent and association with the Completed Interim Review of the consolidated financial statements performed by SG for the period ended September 30, 2020. SG’s Letter stated that, in reaching this conclusion, it believed that it cannot rely on the representations of management and that there are disagreements between the Company and SG on matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of SG, would have caused SG to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in their reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company disagreed with SG’s belief regarding the representations of management and requested the opportunity to explain its position to SG, but SG declined such request. The Company and SG also disagreed about the number of reporting units the Company has for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s CFO discussed with SG the number of reporting units. In addition, the Company engaged an independent technical accounting expert who also discussed the Company’s position with SG. On April 19, 2021, the Company appointed BF Borgers CPA PC our(“BFB”) as its new independent auditorsregistered public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020.
