Voting
Securities and Quorum Required.
Holders

2025 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote on all matters. On the Record Date, we had [●] shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Common Stock is our only class of voting securities
outstanding.
For
the transaction of business at the Special Meeting a quorum must be present. A quorum consists of not less than a majority of the shares
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. In the event there are not sufficient votes for a quorum or to approve any proposals at the
time of the Special Meeting, the Special Meeting may be adjourned to a future time and date.
Revocability
of Proxies
You
can revoke your proxy at any time before it is exercised by timely delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy, by delivering
a written revocation of your proxy to our Secretary, or by voting at the virtual Special Meeting via the internet. The method by which
you vote by proxy will in no way limit your right to vote at the Special Meeting if you decide to attend the meeting virtually. If your
shares are held in the name of a bank or brokerage firm, you must obtain a proxy, executed in your favor, from the bank or broker, to
be able to vote at the Special Meeting.
No
Dissenters Rights
The
proposed corporate actions on which the stockholders are being asked to vote are not corporate actions for which stockholders of a Delaware
corporation have the right to dissent under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).
BACKGROUND
On
August 7, 2025 DIH entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an investor
pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase an aggregate of $2,222,222 in principal amount
of 8% Original Issue Discount Convertible Debenture (the “2025 Debenture”), initially convertible into an aggregate
of [●] shares of the Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at an initial conversion price of $0.25 (the “Conversion
Price”) for total gross proceeds of $2.0 million. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Debenture.
The transaction closed on August 7, 2025. In connection with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the 2025 Debenture,
the Company also issued a warrant to the investor to purchase up to an additional 8,888,888 shares of Common Stock at an initial exercise
price of $0.25 per share. The Warrant is not exercisable until February 1, 2026.
The
Company had previously entered into a similar convertible note transaction with the same investor in June 2024 (the “Original
Debenture” and the securities purchase agreement in connection therewith the “Original Securities Purchase Agreement”).
At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company held on September 6, 2024, stockholders of the Company approved the potential issuance
of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares in connection with that transaction.
In
the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to take certain actions requiring stockholder approval. Specifically, it agreed
to seek stockholder approval of the potential issuance of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares pursuant to Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5635(d) (Proposal 1). The Company also agreed to seek stockholder approval to amend the Original Debenture
and related common stock purchase warrants to reduce the base conversion price and warrant exercise price to be the same
as the base conversion price of the 2025 Debenture (Proposal 2). Further, the Company agreed to seek stockholder approval to amend the
additional investment right in the Original Securities Purchase Agreement to reduce the price at which such additional investments may
be made and extend the deadline for exercising the right. (Proposal 3). Lastly, the Company agreed to seek stockholder approval for a
reverse stock split (Proposal 4).

any
other business that may properly come before the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. |
Q:
Will any other business be presented for action by stockholders at the Special Meeting?
A:
Management knows of no business that will be presented at the Special Meeting other than Proposals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. If any other
matter properly comes before the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy card intend to vote the proxies
(which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters) in accordance with their judgment on the matter.
Q:
How does the Board recommend that I vote on each of the proposals?
A:
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR”
the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal, “FOR” the Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal
“FOR” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.
Q:
How do I vote my shares?
A:
The answer depends on whether you own your shares of Common Stock of the Company directly (that is, you hold shares that show your
name as the registered stockholder) or if your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee holder.
If
you own shares of the Company directly (i.e., you are a “registered stockholder”): your proxy is being solicited directly
by us, and you can vote by Internet, by telephone, by mail or you can vote at our Special Meeting. You are encouraged to vote prior to
the Special Meeting to ensure that your shares will be represented.
If
you sign your proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote, the proxies will vote your shares “FOR” the New Debenture
Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal, “FOR” the Additional
Investment Right Proposal, “FOR” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, and, in
their discretion, on any other matter that properly comes before the Special Meeting. Unsigned proxy cards will not be counted.
If
you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you will be able to vote your shares if you register to attend, and attend (virtually),
the Special Meeting pursuant to the instructions below.
If
you hold your shares of the Company through a broker, bank or other nominee: a voting instruction card has been provided to you by
your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you receive a voting instruction card, you can vote by completing
and returning the voting instruction card. Please be sure to mark your voting choices on your voting instruction card before you return
it. You may also be able to vote by telephone, via the Internet, or at the Special Meeting, depending upon your voting instructions.
Please refer to the instructions provided with your voting instruction card and see “What do I need to do to attend the Special
Meeting virtually?” below for information about voting in these ways. See also “What is the effect if I fail to give voting
instructions to my broker or other nominee?” below.
Q:
Will I have the same participation rights in this virtual-only stockholder meeting as I would have at an in-person stockholder meeting?
A:
Yes. We have created and implemented the virtual format to facilitate stockholder attendance and participation by enabling stockholders
to participate fully from any location, at no cost. You will, however, bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage
charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies. A virtual Special Meeting makes it possible for more stockholders, regardless
of size, resources or physical location, to have direct access to information more quickly, while saving the Company and our stockholders
time and money. We also believe that the online tools we have selected will increase stockholder communication. Both stockholders of
record and street name stockholders will be able to attend the Special Meeting via live audio webcast, submit their questions during
the meeting and vote their shares electronically at the Special Meeting.
Technical
Difficulties: There will be technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties accessing the Special Meeting live audio
webcast. Please be sure to check in by [●] a.m./p.m. EDT on [Date], 2025, (15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting is recommended),
so that any technical difficulties may be addressed before the Special Meeting live audio webcast begins. If you encounter any difficulties
accessing the webcast during the check-in or meeting time, please email proxy@continentalstock.com or call 206-870-8565.
Q:
What is a proxy?
A:
A proxy is a person you appoint to vote on your behalf. By using any of the methods discussed above, you will be appointing as your
proxies Jason Chen and Lynden Bass. They may act together or individually on your behalf and will have the authority to appoint a substitute
to act as proxy. Whether or not you expect to attend the Special Meeting, we request that you please use the means available to you to
vote by proxy so as to ensure that your shares of Common Stock may be voted.
Q:
How can I vote if I own shares directly?
Many
stockholders do not own shares registered directly in their name, but rather are “beneficial holders” of shares held in a
stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee (that is, shares held “in street name”). Those stockholders should
refer to “How can I vote if my shares are held in a stock brokerage account, or by a bank or other nominee?” below for instructions
regarding how to vote their shares.
If,
however, your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company, you
are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. You
may vote in the following ways:
|
● |
By
Mail: Votes may be cast by mail, as long as the proxy card or voting instruction card is delivered in accordance with its instructions
prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on [Date], 2025. Stockholders who have received a paper copy of a proxy card or voting instruction
card by mail may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy card or voting instruction card and mailing it in the
accompanying pre-addressed envelope. |
|
● |
By
Phone or Internet: Stockholders may vote by phone or Internet by following the instructions included in the proxy card they received. |
Whichever
method you select to transmit your instructions, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with those instructions.
If
you vote without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted:
|
● |
“FOR”
the New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal. |
|
● |
“FOR”
the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal. |
|
● |
“FOR”
the Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal. |
|
● |
“FOR”
the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. |
|
● |
“FOR”
the Adjournment Proposal. |
If
no specific instructions are given, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board and as the proxy holders
may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters that properly come before the meeting.
Q:
If I hold my shares in “street name,” what is the effect if I fail to give voting instructions to my broker or other nominee?
A:
If your shares are held by a broker or other nominee, you must provide your broker or nominee with instructions on how to
vote your shares for Proposals 1 - 4 in order for your shares to be counted. If you hold your shares in one of these ways, you are considered
the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other
nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct
your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. If you hold your shares in street name, your broker, bank or other nominee
has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing your broker, bank or other nominee in how to vote your shares. We
encourage you to provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.
Brokers,
banks or other nominees that are member firms of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and who hold shares in street name
for customers have the discretion to vote those shares with respect to certain matters if they have not received instructions from the
beneficial owners. Brokers, banks or other nominees will have this discretionary authority with respect to routine matters such as Proposals
5; however, they will not have this discretionary authority with respect to non-routine matters, including Proposals 1-4. With respect
to non-routine matters, if beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions, these are called “broker non-votes.”
In
the event of a broker non-vote, such beneficial owners’ shares will be included in determining whether a quorum is present, but
otherwise will not be counted. In addition, abstentions will be included in determining whether a quorum is present but otherwise will
not be counted. Thus, a broker non-vote or an abstention will make a quorum more readily obtainable, but a broker non-vote or an abstention
will not otherwise affect the outcome of a vote on a proposal that requires a plurality of the votes cast, and a broker non-vote will
not otherwise affect the outcome of a vote on a proposal that requires a majority of the votes cast. An abstention with respect to a
proposal that requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares will, however, have the same effect as a vote against
the proposal. See “What vote is required to approve each proposal?” below.
We
encourage you to provide voting instructions to the organization that holds your shares.
Q:
What if I want to change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A:
A registered stockholder may change his or her vote or revoke his or her proxy at any time before the Special Meeting by attending
and voting at the Special Meeting, or submitting a later dated proxy card. We will count your vote in accordance with the last instructions
we receive from you prior to the closing of the polls, whether your instructions are received by mail or at the Special Meeting. If you
hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee and wish to change your vote, you must follow the procedures required by your
nominee.
Q:
What is the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes?
A.
Abstentions and broker non-votes regarding any of the Proposals will not be counted as votes cast and, accordingly, will not have any
effect on the foregoing proposals. If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name” in an account at a
bank or brokerage firm, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in the New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal, the Original
Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal, the Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal and the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.
Under the rules governing banks and brokers who submit a proxy card with respect to shares held in “street name,” such banks
and brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include the Adjournment Proposal.
Non-routine matters include each of Proposals 1-4. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to participate in
the Special Meeting. In tabulating the voting results for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered
entitled to vote on that proposal.
Q:
Is my vote confidential?
A:
Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your
voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable
legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy
solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide on their proxy card written comments, which are then forwarded to the Company’s
Corporate Secretary.
Q:
What is a quorum?
A:
The holders of a majority of the [●] shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, either present or represented
by proxy, constitutes a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct the Special Meeting. If you choose to have your shares represented
by proxy at the Special Meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted as present
for the purpose of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present by attendance at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy, the
stockholders present by attendance at the meeting or by proxy may adjourn the Special Meeting until a quorum is present. If an adjournment
is for more than 30 days or a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, we will provide notice of the adjourned meeting to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
Q:
What vote is required to approve each proposal?
A:
New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal: A majority of the votes cast by holders of shares of stock that are entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting must be voted in favor of the New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with
respect to the proposal will not be voted, although it will be counted for the purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly,
if you choose to “ABSTAIN” with respect to any proposal, your abstention will have no effect on the proposal.
Original
Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal: A majority of votes cast by holders the shares of stock that are entitled
to vote at the Special Meeting must be voted in favor of the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal. A properly
executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to the proposal will not have any impact on the proposal.
Additional
Investment Right Amendment Proposal: A majority of votes cast by holders the shares of stock that are entitled to vote at the
Special Meeting must be voted in favor of the Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN”
with respect to the proposal will not have any impact on the proposal.
Reverse
Stock Split Proposal. Under recent amendments of Delaware law, for a corporation that is listed on a national securities exchange,
approval of a reverse stock split may be approved by a majority of the votes cast as long as the effect of the reverse stock split would
not be to reduce the number of holders below the number required under continued listing standards. As the Company intends on rounding
up any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split, it will not have any impact on the number of holders. As such, a majority
of the votes cast by holders of shares of stock that are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be voted in favor of the Reverse
Stock Split Proposal. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to the proposal will not have any impact on
the proposal.

PROPOSAL
1:
NEW DEBENTURE NASDAQ PROPOSAL
For
purposes of complying with Rule 5635(d) of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Rules, stockholders are being asked to approve the issuance
of more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock in connection with the Company’s sale of an 8% Original Issue Discount
Senior Secured Convertible Debenture (the “Debenture”) pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 7, 2025.
As
previously reported, on August 7, 2025, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the purchasers named therein, pursuant
to which we sold on August 7, 2025, in a private placement, an aggregate of $2,222,222 in principal amount of the Debentures, initially
convertible into an aggregate of [●]shares of the Common Stock (the “Conversion Shares”), at an initial conversion
price of $0.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Debentures
have an aggregate face value of $2,222,222 and were issued with an original issue discount of $222,222. The Debentures have a maturity
date of September 21, 2026 and an interest rate of 8% per annum payable monthly on the first business day of each month following the
first year anniversary of the issuance of the Debentures.
The
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the Debenture are referred to as the “Issuable Securities.”
Nasdaq
Stockholder Approval Requirements
We
are subject to the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) because our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq.
Accordingly, we are seeking stockholder approval in order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(d).
Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval prior to a 19.99% Issuance (as defined below) at a price that is less than the Minimum
Price (as defined below). For purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), (i) “19.99% Issuance” means a transaction, other than
a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by us of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable
for Common Stock), which alone or together with sales by our officers, directors or substantial stockholders equals 19.99% or more of
our Common Stock or 19.99% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance, and (ii) “Minimum Price” means a
price that is the lower of: (A) the closing price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement;
or (B) the average closing price of our Common Stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the
signing of the binding agreement.
Reason
for Seeking Stockholder Approval
As
of the date of issuance, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon conversion of the Debenture is below 19.99%
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Moreover, the price paid exceeded the Minimum Price. However, as described more fully below,
the Debenture and Warrant contain certain features that may result in the issuance of additional securities and/or the reduction in the
Conversion Price and the exercise price of the Warrant. Nasdaq interpretive guidance provides that for purposes of determining whether
the 19.99% threshold is met, listed companies such as the Company must consider the maximum number of shares that may be issuable under
the terms of the securities, no matter how remote the chance that that number of shares will be issued. Nasdaq also provides that if
the terms of the securities at the time of issuance include anti-dilution or similar provisions that could cause the Conversion Price
or the Exercise Price to be reduced below the Minimum Price which they do, the issuance will be viewed as being issued at a discount
to the Minimum Price. As such, the investor has required that we obtain approval of our stockholders for the issuance pursuant to Rule
5635(d).
Potential
Additional Issuances of Common Stock and/or Reduction in Conversion Price and Exercise Price
Subsequent
Issuances of Common Stock May Results in Adjustments to Conversion Price. Pursuant to the terms of the Debenture, the Conversion
Price shall be automatically reduced if the Nasdaq Official Closing Price on the first trading day after the Company receives stockholder
approval of these transactions is less than $0.25 (such lesser price to be the new Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is also adjustable
in the event DIH was to issue shares of Common Stock (other than certain exempt issuances) at a price below the Conversion Price (such
lesser price, the “Base Conversion Price”), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Base Conversion Price.
In no event, however, will the Base Conversion Price be less than $0.10 (subject to adjustment for reverse and forward splits). In the
event that the full principal amount of the Debenture remained outstanding the Base Conversion Price was reduced to $0.10, the Debenture
would be convertible into 22,222,220 shares which, together with the shares that may be purchased pursuant to the Warrant, would exceed
the 19.99% threshold. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant, the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock would be similarly
reduced and adjusted. The Company has the ability to pay monthly redemption payments in the form of shares of Common Stock rather
than cash as well which could result in additional issuances of shares.
The
Conversion Price and Exercise Price of the Warrant as well as the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Warrant is exercisable
will be similarly adjusted in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction.
Dilution
and Potential Adverse Impact of Approval of this Nasdaq Proposal
The
issuances of shares of Common Stock underlying the Issuable Securities, will result in an increase in the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding and our stockholders will incur dilution of their percentage ownership as a result. Following such issuances, our current
stockholders will own a smaller proportionate interest in the Company and, therefore, have less ability to influence corporate decisions
requiring stockholder approval. The issuance of such shares could also have a dilutive effect on our book value per share and on any
future earnings per share, and the sale or any resale of such shares could cause prevailing market prices for our Common Stock to decline.
Required
Vote
The
New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal will be approved and adopted
only if holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person by virtual attendance or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal.
The
Board recommends a vote “FOR” the amendment of the New Debenture Nasdaq Proposal.
PROPOSAL
2:
ORIGINAL DEBENTURE BASE CONVERSION PRICE REDUCTION PROPOSAL
Purpose
and Rationale for the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal
On
June 6, 2024, DIH entered into the Original Debentures Securities Purchase Agreement with an investor pursuant to which the investor
agreed to purchase an aggregate of $3,300,000 in principal amount of Original Debentures issued in connection with a private placement
pursuant to Rule 506(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, initially convertible into an aggregate of 660,000 shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $5.00 for total gross proceeds of $3.0 million and related common stock purchase warrants.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Original Debenture, the Conversion Price (as defined therein) for voluntary conversions of Original Debentures into
Common Stock was $5.00, subject to certain adjustments. In the event DIH was to issue shares of Common Stock (other than certain exempt
issuances) at a price below the Conversion Price (such lesser price, the “Base Conversion Price”), the Conversion Price would
be reduced to the Base Conversion Price. The Original Debenture specified, however, that the Base Conversion Price could never fall below
$0.316.
On
August 7, 2025, the Company entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the same Investor. As a requirement of extending an additional
loan, the Investor required that the Company seek stockholder approval of certain changes to the terms of the Original Debenture Securities
Purchase Agreement including amending the Base Conversion Price in the Original Debenture to mirror that in the Debenture and a parallel
reduction in the warrant exercise price.
Reason
for Seeking Stockholder Approval
In
February 2025, the Company closed on a follow-on offering at $0.78 per share which resulted in the Conversion Price being lowered to
that price and subsequent issuances of shares in lieu of cash payments resulted in further reduction in the Conversion Price and warrant
exercise price to the current Base Conversion Price. As the market price for the Common Stock has been well below the Base Condition
Price, as a condition to the agreement to provide additional funding, the Investor is requiring that we seek stockholder approval of
a reduction in the Base Conversion Price under the Original Debenture to match the Base Conversion Price in the New Debenture and
a parallel reduction in the warrant exercise price which would result in an increase in the number of warrants.
Required
Vote
This
Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal will be approved and adopted only if holders of at least a majority of the
of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction
Proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to this proposal will have no effect on the vote.
Impact
of Approval of the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal
The
remaining outstanding balance on the Original Debenture is $1,553,126 and there are 6,214,690 warrants outstanding. If
this proposal is approved, the Base Conversion Price in the Original Debenture will be reduced to $0.10 from $0.316, that could result
in the issuance of up to 10,616,304 additional shares of Common Stock. Similarly, the reduction in the exercise price of the
warrants to a floor of $0.10 from $0.316 could result in gross warrants outstanding of 19,800,000, an increase of 13,534,177 above the
current potential warrants of 6,265,823. The result of these transactions would result in further dilution.
Recommendation
of the Board
The
Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal.
PROPOSAL
3
ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENT RIGHT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Pursuant
to Section 4.17 of the Original Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor was entitled to purchase (i) additional debentures and warrants
up to a maximum of $5,000,000 on the same terms as the Original Debentures and Warrants and (ii) commencing 9 months after closing, to
purchase up to $10,000,000 in additional debentures and warrants with the initial Conversion Price of such additional Debentures and
the initial Exercise Price of such additional Warrants equal to 100% of the average of the Nasdaq Official Closing Prices for the five
Trading Days prior to such Purchaser’s exercise of such right (the “Additional Investment Right”). Such Additional
Investment Right will expire on December 7, 2025. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Investor has utilized this right once to
purchase $330,000 in additional debentures and warrants.
In
connection with the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Investor required that the Company seek stockholder approval
of an amendment to the Original Securities Purchase Agreement to extend the deadline by which any such additional purchases may be made
from December 7, 2025 until December 31, 2026. The amendment would also provide that the terms of any additional purchases, following
the receipt of stockholder approval of the amendment would be at a price equal to 85% of the lowest Nasdaq Official Closing Price during
the five Trading Days immediately prior to such Purchaser’s exercise of such right.
Impact
of Approval of the Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal
If
this proposal is approved, the impact would be to permit the Investor to purchase additional Debentures and Warrants at a discount to
the prevailing market price thereby resulting in dilution to other stockholders.
Required
Vote
This
Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal will be approved and adopted only if holders of at least a majority of the of Common Stock
entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the Additional Investment Right Amendment Proposal. Abstentions and broker
non-votes with respect to this proposal will have no effect on the vote.
Recommendation
of the Board
The
Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Original Debenture Base Conversion Price Reduction Proposal.
PROPOSAL
4:
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL
A
proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”),
in substantially the form attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A (collectively, the “Reverse Split Charter Amendment”)
to allow our Board of Directors to effect, in its discretion prior to [Date], 2025, a reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding
shares of our Common Stock, up to an aggregate ratio of 1-for-25 (1:25), (the “Approved Split Ratio”).
General
Our
Board has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to amend the Company’s
Charter in substantially the form of the Reverse Split Charter Amendment to effect a reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding
Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a specific ratio, up to a maximum of 1-for-25 (1:25) up to the Approved Split Ratio,
(the “Reverse Split”).
The
primary goal of the Reverse Split is to increase the per share market price of our Common Stock to meet the minimum per share bid price
requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. We believe that allowing the Reverse Split up to the Approved Split Ratio provides us with
the most flexibility to achieve the desired results of the Reverse Split.
A
vote for this Proposal 4 will constitute approval of the Reverse Split that, if and when effected by our Board by filing the applicable
Reverse Split Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, would combine up to every [●] shares of our
outstanding Common Stock into one share of our Common Stock. If implemented, the applicable Reverse Split will have the effect of decreasing
the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. Because the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock will not
be reduced in connection with the Reverse Split, the Reverse Split will result in an effective increase in the authorized number of shares
of our Common Stock available for issuance in the future.
Accordingly,
stockholders are asked to approve the Reverse Split Charter Amendment the form of which is set forth in Appendix A for the Reverse Split
consistent with those terms set forth in this Proposal 4, and to grant authorization to the Board to determine, in its sole discretion,
whether or not to implement the Reverse Split, as well as the timing and specific ratio of the Reverse Split up to the Approved Split
Ratio. The text of Appendix A remains subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware and as our Board deems necessary or advisable to implement the Reverse Split.
If
approved by the holders of our outstanding voting securities and pursued by the Board, the Reverse Split would be applied at a ratio
up to the Approved Split Ratio approved by the Board prior to [Date], 2026, and would become
effective upon the time specified in the applicable Reverse Split Charter Amendment as filed with the Secretary of State of the State
of Delaware for the Reverse Split. The Board reserves the right to elect to abandon the Reverse Split if it determines, in its sole discretion,
that the Reverse Split is no longer in the best interests of us and our stockholders.
Purpose
and Rationale for the Reverse Split
Resolve
One Nasdaq Listing Standard.
We
are submitting this proposal to our stockholders for approval in order to increase the trading price of our Common Stock to meet the
minimum per share bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market. We believe increasing the trading price of
our Common Stock may also assist in our capital-raising efforts by making our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of investors.
Accordingly, we believe that the Reverse Split is in our stockholders’ best interests.
The
Nasdaq Global Market requires that the Company maintain a minimum bid price for continued listing. On March 11, 2025, the Company received
a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that the Company’s Common
Stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days
prior to the date of the Notice (the “Share Price Deficiency”). Accordingly the Company failed to comply with Rule 5450(a)(1)
the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Rules”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock
on Nasdaq. Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) provides the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 8, 2025, in which to
regain compliance. If at any time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $1
for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance with the Rules and
this matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance within the compliance period, or if the Company fails to satisfy
another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s securities will become subject
to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit the Company to appeal the decision to reject any delisting determination to a
Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The
Company plans to request an extension from Nasdaq of the time period to cure the Share Price Deficiency by effecting the Reverse Stock
Split as the deadline specified in the vote on the proposal will come after the deadline to cure the deficiency.
Failure
to approve the Reverse Split may potentially have serious, adverse effects on us and our stockholders. Our Common Stock could be delisted
from Nasdaq if our Common Stock continues to trade below the requisite $1.00 per share price needed to maintain our listing in accordance
with the Bid Price Requirement. If our Common Stock is delisted from Nasdaq, our Common Stock could then trade on the OTC Bulletin Board
or other small trading markets, such as the pink sheets, which are generally considered to be less efficient markets. In that event,
our Common Stock could trade thinly as a microcap or penny stock, adversely decrease to nominal levels of trading, and may be avoided
by retail and institutional investors, resulting in the impaired liquidity and increased transaction costs of trading in shares of our
Common Stock.
The
Reverse Split, if effected, would have the immediate effect of increasing the price of our Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq, therefore
allowing us to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Our
Board strongly believes that the Reverse Split is necessary to maintain our listing on Nasdaq. Accordingly, the Board has proposed the
Charter Amendment for approval by our stockholders at the Special Meeting to permit the Board to effect the Reverse Split if the Board
determines it is advisable prior to September 8, 2025 or to request an extension from Nasdaq.
Other
Effects.
The
Board also believes that the increased market price of our Common Stock expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Split could
improve the marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock and will encourage interest and trading in our Common Stock. Any Reverse
Split, if effected, could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in our Common Stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from
buying stock whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the trading volume and liquidity of our Common Stock.
The Reverse Split could help increase analyst and broker’s interest in Common Stock, as their policies can discourage them from
following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks,
many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced
stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices
may make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers’ commissions
on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, a low average
price per share of our Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of
their total share value than would be the case if the share price were higher.
Having
an increased number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock available would provide additional flexibility regarding the potential
use of shares of our Common Stock for business and financial purposes in the future and allow us to take prompt action with respect to
corporate opportunities that develop, without the delay and expense of convening a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of
approving an increase in our authorized shares. The additional shares could be used for various purposes without further stockholder
approval. These purposes may include: (i) raising capital, if we have an appropriate opportunity, through offerings of Common Stock or
securities that are convertible into Common Stock; (ii) expanding our business through potential strategic transactions, including mergers,
acquisitions, licensing transactions and other business combinations or acquisitions of new product candidates or products; (iii) establishing
strategic relationships with other companies; (iv) exchanges of Common Stock or securities that are convertible into Common Stock for
other outstanding securities; (v) providing equity incentives to attract and retain employees, officers or directors; and (vi) other
general corporate purposes. We intend to use the additional shares of Common Stock that will be available to undertake any such issuances
described above.
An
increase in authorized shares of our Common Stock available for issuance would not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing
stockholders. However, because the holders of our Common Stock do not have any preemptive rights, future issuance of shares of Common
Stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share,
book value per share, voting rights of stockholders and could have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock.
Disadvantages
to an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock may include:
|
- |
Stockholders
may experience further dilution of their ownership; |
|
|
|
|
- |
Stockholders
will not have any preemptive or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued
in the future, and therefore, future issuances of Common Stock, depending on the circumstances, will have a dilutive effect on the
earnings per share, voting power, and other interests of our existing stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
- |
The
additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance due to this Proposal 4 would be part of the existing class
of Common Stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently outstanding;
and |

|
|
|
- |
The
issuance of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could be used to deter a potential takeover of us that may otherwise be
beneficial to stockholders by diluting the shares held by a potential suitor or issuing shares to a stockholder that will vote in
accordance with the Board’s desires. A takeover may be beneficial to independent stockholders because, among other reasons,
a potential suitor may offer such stockholders a premium for their shares of stock compared to the then-existing market price. We
do not have any plans or proposals to adopt provisions or enter into agreements that may have material anti-takeover consequences. |
Our
Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals effect a “going private transaction”
within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.
We
have no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding, or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of Common
Stock subsequent to this proposed Reverse Split at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the proposed effective
increase in the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose. However, we have in the past conducted certain public and private
offerings of Common Stock and warrants, and we may continue to require additional capital in the future to fund our operations. As a
result, it is foreseeable that we may seek to issue such additional shares of Common Stock in connection with any such capital raising
activities, or any of the other activities described above. The Board does not intend to issue any Common Stock or securities convertible
into Common Stock except on terms that the Board deems to be in the best interests of us and our stockholders.
Risks
of the Proposed Reverse Split
We
cannot assure you that the proposed Reverse Split will increase the price of our Common Stock and have the desired effect of maintaining
compliance with Nasdaq.
If
the Reverse Split is implemented, our Board expects that it will increase the market price of our Common Stock so that we are able to
maintain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement. However, the effect of the Reverse Split upon the market price of
our Common Stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and we cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will accomplish this objective
for any meaningful period of time, or at all. It is possible that (i) the per share price of our Common Stock after the Reverse Split
will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Split,
(ii) the market price per post-Reverse Split share may not exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained
period of time, or (iii) the Reverse Split may not result in a per share price that would attract brokers and investors who do not trade
in lower priced stocks. Even if the Reverse Split is implemented, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease due to factors unrelated
to the Reverse Split. In any case, the market price of our Common Stock will be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the
number of shares outstanding, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success.
Even if the market price per post-Reverse Split share of our Common Stock remains in excess of $1.00 per share, we may be delisted due
to our failure to meet other continued listing requirements, including Nasdaq requirements related to the minimum market value of the
public float and of listed securities.
The
proposed Reverse Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock.
The
Board believes that the Reverse Split will result in an increase in the market price of our Common Stock, which could lead to increased
interest in our Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, the Reverse Split will also reduce
the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, which may lead to reduced trading and a smaller number of market makers for our
Common Stock, particularly if the price per share of our Common Stock does not increase as a result of the Reverse Split.
The
Reverse Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” that may be more difficult to
sell or require greater transaction costs per share to sell.
If
the Reverse Split is implemented, it will increase the number of stockholders who own “odd lots” of less than 100 shares
of Common Stock. A purchase or sale of less than 100 shares of Common Stock (an “odd lot” transaction) may result in incrementally
higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own
fewer than 100 shares of Common Stock following the Reverse Split may be required to pay higher transaction costs if they sell their
Common Stock.
The
Reverse Split may lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization.
The
Reverse Split may be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization.
If the per share market price of our Common Stock does not increase in proportion to the split ratio, or following such increase does
not maintain or exceed such price, then the value of our Company, as measured by our market capitalization, will be reduced. Additionally,
any reduction in our market capitalization may be magnified as a result of the smaller number of total shares of Common Stock outstanding
following the Reverse Split.
Determination
of the Ratio for the Reverse Split
If
Proposal 4 is approved by stockholders and the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders
to move forward with the Reverse Split, the ratio for the Reverse Split will be selected by the Board, in its sole discretion up to the
Approved Split Ratio. In determining which ratio to use for the Reverse Split, the Board will consider numerous factors, including, among
other things:
|
- |
our
ability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market; |
|
|
|
|
- |
the
per share price of our Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split; |
|
|
|
|
- |
the
expected stability of the per share price of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split; |
|
- |
the
likelihood that the Reverse Split will result in increased marketability and liquidity of our Common Stock; |
|
|
|
|
- |
prevailing
market conditions; |
|
- |
general
economic conditions in our industry; and |
|
|
|
|
- |
our
market capitalization before and after the Reverse Split. |
The
purpose of allowing a reverse stock split up to the Approved Ratio is to give the Board the flexibility to meet business needs as they
arise, namely to maintain its price per share above $1.00 to satisfy the Nasdaq listing requirement and to take advantage of favorable
opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment. Based on the number of shares of Common Stock issued and/or outstanding
as of [Date], 2025, after completion of Reverse Split up to the Approved Split Ratio ([●]:[●]),
we will have [●]shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Principal
Effects of the Reverse Split
After
the effective date of the Reverse Split, each stockholder will own a reduced number of shares of Common Stock. Except for adjustments
that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the Reverse Split will affect all stockholders uniformly.
The proportionate voting rights and other rights and preferences of the holders of our Common Stock will not be affected by the Reverse
Split (subject to the treatment of fractional shares). For example, a holder of 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our
Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Split would continue to hold 2% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common
Stock immediately after the Reverse Split. The number of stockholders of record also will not be affected by the Reverse Split, except
to the extent that as described below in “Treatment of Fractional Shares”, record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled
to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Split because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Applicable Split
Ratio will automatically be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock, to round up to the next whole share.
In any event, cash will not be paid for fractional shares.
The
Reverse Split will not have any impact in the number of shares of Common Stock we are authorized to issue under our Charter.
Our
Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other
requirements of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Split will not affect the registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange Act. Our
Common Stock would continue to be reported on Nasdaq under the symbol “DHAI,” assuming that we are able to regain compliance
with the minimum bid price requirement, although we expect that Nasdaq will add the letter “D” to the end of the trading
symbol for a period of twenty trading days after the effective date of the Reverse Split to indicate that the Reverse Split had occurred.
Effect
on Outstanding Derivative Securities
The
Reverse Split will have the same effect on all of the Company’s outstanding derivative securities as the Reverse Split will have
on its shares of Common Stock
Effect
on Equity Incentive Plan
The
Reverse Split will have the adjust the Company’s outstanding options and stock available for issuance under the Equity Incentive
Plan at the same ratio as the applicable Reverse Split will have on its shares of Common Stock. This applicable adjustment is set forth
in the Equity Incentive Plan.
Effective
Date
If
approved by the holders of our outstanding voting securities and pursued by the Board, the applicable proposed Reverse Split would become
effective on the date of filing of the applicable Charter Amendment with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
On the effective date, shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined and converted, automatically
and without any action on the part of our stockholders, into new shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Approved Split Ratio set
forth in this Proposal 2. If the proposed Charter Amendment are not approved by our stockholders, the Reverse Split will not occur.
Treatment
of Fractional Shares
No
fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled
to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Approved Split Ratio will automatically
be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock, to round up to the next whole share. In any event, cash will
not be paid for fractional shares.
Effect
on “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock
Exchange
of Stock Certificates
If
the Reverse Split is authorized by the stockholders and our Board elects to implement the Reverse Split, stockholders of record holding
some or all of their shares in certificate form will receive a letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable after the effective date
of the Reverse Split. Our transfer agent will act as “exchange agent” for the purpose of implementing the exchange of stock
certificates. Holders of pre-Reverse Split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-Reverse
Split shares in exchange for post-Reverse Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in the letter of transmittal.
Until surrender, each certificate representing shares before such Reverse Split would continue to be valid and would represent the adjusted
number of whole shares based on the approved exchange ratio of such Reverse Split selected by the Board. No new post-Reverse Split share
certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s)
together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.
In
connection with the Reverse Split, the CUSIP number for the Common Stock will change from its current CUSIP number. This new CUSIP number
will appear on any new stock certificates issued representing post-split shares.
STOCKHOLDERS
SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY PRE-SPLIT STOCK CERTIFICATE AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES UNTIL THEY ARE REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Accounting
Consequences
The
par value per share of Common Stock would remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share after the Reverse Split. As a result, on the effective
date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be reduced proportionally, based
on the Approved Split Ratio selected by the Board, from its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital account shall be credited
with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share Common Stock net income or loss and net book value will be increased
because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. The shares of Common Stock held in treasury, if any, will also be reduced
proportionately based on the Approved Split Ratio selected by the Board. Retroactive restatement will be given to all share numbers in
the financial statements, and accordingly all amounts including per share amounts will be shown on a post-split basis. We do not anticipate
that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Split.
No
Appraisal Rights
Our
stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to this
Proposal 2, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such right if the Reverse Split is implemented.
Material
Federal U.S. Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Split
The
following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of a Reverse Split to our stockholders. The summary is
based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder,
judicial authority and current administrative rulings and practices as in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement. Changes to the
laws could alter the tax consequences described below, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought and will not seek an opinion
of counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service regarding the federal income tax consequences of a Reverse Split. This discussion
only addresses stockholders who hold Common Stock as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders
subject to special tax treatment under the Code, including, without limitation, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance
companies, dealers in securities, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold their pre-reverse stock split shares as part of a straddle,
hedge or conversion transaction, and stockholders who acquired their pre-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee
stock options or otherwise as compensation. If a partnership (or other entity treated 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. Accordingly, partnerships (and other entities treated as partnerships
for U.S. federal income tax purpose) holding our Common Stock and the partners in such entities should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the proposed Reverse Split to them. In addition, the following discussion does
not address the tax consequences of a Reverse Split under state, local and foreign tax laws. Furthermore, the following discussion does
not address any tax consequences of transactions effectuated before, after or at the same time as a Reverse Split, whether or not they
are in connection with such Reverse Split.
In
general, the federal income tax consequences of a Reverse Split will vary among stockholders depending upon whether they receive solely
a reduced number of shares of Common Stock in exchange for their old shares of Common Stock or a full share in lieu of a fractional share.
We believe that because the Reverse Split are not part of a plan to increase periodically a stockholder’s proportionate interest
in our assets or earnings and profits, the Reverse Split should have the following federal income tax effects. The Reverse Split is expected
to constitute a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. A stockholder
who receives solely a reduced number of shares of Common Stock will not recognize gain or loss. In the aggregate, such a stockholder’s
basis in the reduced number of shares of Common Stock will equal the stockholder’s basis in its old shares of Common Stock and
such stockholder’s holding period in the reduced number of shares will include the holding period in its old shares exchanged.
The Treasury Regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of shares of Common Stock surrendered
in a recapitalization to shares received in the recapitalization. Stockholders 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.
A
stockholder who holds a number of shares of Common Stock not evenly divisible by the applicable Approved Split Ratio will automatically
be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of Common Stock to round up to the next whole share of Common Stock. The U.S.
federal income tax consequences of the receipt of such an additional fraction of a share are not clear. A stockholder that receives a
full share in lieu of a fractional share may be treated as though it received a distribution from us to the extent that the value of
the full share exceeds the value of the fractional share the stockholder otherwise would have received. Such distribution would generally
be a dividend to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any amount in excess of earnings and profits would generally
reduce the stockholder’s basis in their shares of Common Stock by the amount of such excess. The portion of the full share in excess
of the fractional share would generally have a tax basis equal to the amount recognized as a dividend and the holding period for such
share would begin on the date of the deemed distribution. Stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the possible
tax consequences of receiving an additional fraction of a share in such Reverse Split.
THE
PRECEDING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN FEDERAL U.S. INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT AND DOES NOT
PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL POTENTIAL TAX EFFECTS RELEVANT THERETO. YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISORS
AS TO THE PARTICULAR FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT IN LIGHT OF YOUR SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES.

DIH
Holdings US, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State
of Delaware (the “Corporation”), does hereby certify as follows:
FIRST:
Upon the filing and effectiveness (the “Effective Time”) pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(the “DGCL”) of this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation
(this “Certificate of Amendment”), each [●] ([●]) shares of the Corporation’s Class A common stock,
par value $0 0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Corporation in
treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
share of Class A Common Stock, without any further action by the Corporation or the holder thereof, subject to the treatment of fractional
share interests as described below (the “Reverse Stock Split”). No fractional shares shall be issued at the Effective
Time and, in lieu thereof, the Corporation’s transfer agent shall aggregate all fractional shares and sell them as soon as practicable
after the Effective Time at the then-prevailing prices on the open market, on behalf of those stockholders who would otherwise be entitled
to receive a fractional share, and after the transfer agent’s completion of such sale, stockholders shall receive a cash payment
(without interest or deduction) from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total net proceeds
of that sale and, where shares are held in certificated form, upon the surrender of the stockholder’s Old Certificates (as defined
below). Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Class A Common Stock (“Old Certificates”)
shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class A Common Stock previously represented
by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.
SECOND:
This Certificate of Amendment was duly adopted in accordance with Section 242 of the DGCL. The Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions
setting forth and declaring advisable this Certificate of Amendment and directed that the proposed amendments be considered by the stockholders
