[PRE 14A] Minim, Inc. Preliminary Proxy Statement
FiEE, Inc. is soliciting proxies for its 2025 Annual Meeting where stockholders of record as of September 11, 2025 may vote. The meeting will consider election of four directors, ratification of UHY LLP as auditor, approval to issue shares related to a Seller Convertible Note and Seller Warrant for Nasdaq compliance, and approval of the FiEE, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2025 Plan would reserve 1,394,230 shares for issuance with an ISO per-grantee calendar-year limit of $100,000. The Audit Committee (Hu Bin, David Natan, Chan Oi Fat) held 8 meetings in 2024 and the Nominating and Compensation Committees held no meetings in 2024. New director agreements dated April 29–30, 2025 and July 8, 2025 provide directors with $12,500 quarterly cash fees and the potential issuance of 100,000 shares upon termination without cause or after one year of service. An insider trading policy adopted May 30, 2025 prohibits short sales but does not currently address hedging.
FiEE, Inc. sta raccogliendo deleghe per la sua Assemblea Annuale 2025, alla quale potranno votare gli azionisti iscritti nel registro alla data del 11 settembre 2025. L’assemblea voterà l’elezione di quattro amministratori, la ratifica di UHY LLP come revisore, l’autorizzazione all’emissione di azioni correlate a una Seller Convertible Note e a una Seller Warrant per conformarsi ai requisiti Nasdaq, e l’approvazione del FiEE, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. Il Piano 2025 riserverebbe 1.394.230 azioni da emettere con un limite ISO per beneficiario su base annuale di $100.000. Il Comitato Revisione (Hu Bin, David Natan, Chan Oi Fat) ha svolto 8 riunioni nel 2024, mentre i Comitati Nomine e Compensi non hanno tenuto riunioni nel 2024. Accordi per nuovi amministratori datati 29–30 aprile 2025 e 8 luglio 2025 prevedono compensi trimestrali in contanti di $12.500 e la possibile assegnazione di 100.000 azioni in caso di revoca senza giusta causa o dopo un anno di servizio. Una politica sugli insider adottata il 30 maggio 2025 vieta le vendite allo scoperto ma al momento non disciplina le coperture (hedging).

FiEE, Inc. fordert Vollmachten für seine Jahresversammlung 2025 an, bei der die am 11. September 2025 im Aktienregister eingetragenen Aktionäre stimmberechtigt sind. Auf der Tagesordnung stehen die Wahl von vier Direktoren, die Ratifizierung von UHY LLP als Abschlussprüfer, die Genehmigung der Ausgabe von Aktien im Zusammenhang mit einer Seller Convertible Note und einer Seller Warrant zur Nasdaq-Compliance sowie die Genehmigung des FiEE, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan. Der Plan 2025 würde 1.394.230 Aktien zur Ausgabe vorsehen, mit einem ISO-Jahreslimit pro Begünstigtem von $100.000. Der Prüfungsausschuss (Hu Bin, David Natan, Chan Oi Fat) hielt im Jahr 2024 8 Sitzungen ab; die Nominierungs- und Vergütungsausschüsse hielten 2024 keine Sitzungen ab. Neue Direktorenvereinbarungen vom 29.–30. April 2025 und 8. Juli 2025 sehen vierteljährliche Barvergütungen von $12.500 sowie die mögliche Zuteilung von 100.000 Aktien bei fristloser Kündigung ohne Grund oder nach einem Jahr Dienstzeit vor. Eine am 30. Mai 2025 eingeführte Insiderhandelsrichtlinie verbietet Leerverkäufe, regelt derzeit jedoch kein Hedging.
- Audit Committee composed of independent members and David Natan qualifies as a financial expert
- Audit Committee was active with 8 meetings in 2024, indicating oversight of financial reporting and controls
- 2025 Equity Incentive Plan includes ISO limits and administrative safeguards, including Board/Committee authority
- Large equity reserve of 1,394,230 shares may be dilutive depending on the Company’s outstanding share base
- Director compensation includes potential issuance of 100,000 shares per director upon certain conditions, increasing dilution risk
- Nominating and Compensation Committees held no meetings in 2024, suggesting limited documented committee activity for those functions
- Insider trading policy prohibits short sales but the Company currently lacks a policy addressing hedging activities
Insights
TL;DR: Board seeks routine shareholder approvals, introduces a substantial equity pool and director compensation that may dilute shareholders.
The proxy centers on governance and equity-related approvals typical for a public company transitioning corporate incentives and compliance with Nasdaq listing rules. The proposed 1,394,230-share reserve under the 2025 Plan is material relative to small-cap structures and could be dilutive depending on outstanding shares. Director agreements with cash and share components create ongoing fixed costs and potential equity issuance triggers on termination or continued service. Committee meeting frequency shows active audit oversight but limited formal activity documented for nominating and compensation functions in 2024, which may warrant closer shareholder scrutiny of governance practices and succession planning.
TL;DR: The equity plan and director awards provide retention levers but include concentration risks and annual ISO limits.
The 2025 Plan sets clear administrative authority to the Board and allows up to 1,394,230 shares, with a per-grantee ISO cap of $100,000 per calendar year. Timing disclosures state no Named Executive Officer option grants around prior material filings in 2024. Director awards of 100,000 shares tied to service or termination without cause are significant for individual dilution and should be evaluated against total outstanding share count and expected grant practices. The absence of a hedging policy is a gap in executive risk-mitigation controls.

No “Evergreen” | The 2025 Plan does not include an “evergreen” feature pursuant to which the reserve of shares authorized for issuance would be automatically replenished periodically. | ||
No Liberal Share Recycling | Shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an option or stock appreciation right or to pay the withholding taxes with respect to an award may not be made available again under the 2025 Plan. | ||
Minimum 1-Year Vesting Requirement | All awards granted under the 2025 Plan are subject to a minimum one-year vesting term, with limited exceptions for (a) awards granted under the 2025 Plan with respect to shares of Common Stock which do not exceed, in the aggregate, five percent of the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the 2025 Plan, (b) awards granted in lieu of fully vested cash awards, (c) Substitute Awards (as defined in the 2025 Plan), (d) accelerated exercisability or vesting upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the 2025 Plan) and (e) accelerated exercisability or vesting in cases of death or disability. | ||

Element | Description | ||
any gross negligence, intentional misconduct, theft, embezzlement, fraud or other serious misconduct by an executive officer, the result of which is that any performance-based compensation received by such executive officer during the three-year period preceding the publication of the restated financial statement would have been lower had it been calculated based on such restated results, the Compensation Committee may seek to recover the excess of the incentive compensation paid to the executive based on the erroneous data. | |||
No Repricing | Other than in connection with certain corporate events where a reduction in exercise price is necessary to preserve the benefits or prevent the enlargement of benefits of awards under the 2025 Plan (such as a stock split), we may not, without stockholder approval, reduce the exercise price of a stock option or stock appreciation right or exchange a stock option or stock appreciation right for a new award with a lower exercise price or a full value award. | ||
No Transferability | Awards may not be transferred, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or, unless otherwise provided by the Compensation Committee, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or to or for the benefit of the participant’s family. | ||

1. | Options and SARs. Stock options represent a right to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock from us at a specified price during a specified period of time. Stock options may be granted in the form of incentive stock options, which are intended to qualify for favorable treatment for the recipient under U.S. federal tax law, or as nonqualified stock options, which do not qualify for this favorable tax treatment. Only employees of the Company or its subsidiaries may receive tax-qualified incentive stock options. The administrator may establish sub-plans under the 2025 Plan through which to grant stock options that qualify for preferred tax treatment for recipients in jurisdictions outside the United States. SARs represent the right to receive an amount in cash, shares of Common Stock or both equal to the fair market value of the shares subject to the award on the date of exercise minus the exercise price of the award. All stock options and SARs must have a term of no longer than ten years’ duration. Stock options and SARs must have an exercise price equal to or above the fair market value of shares of Company Common Stock on the date of grant except as provided under applicable law or with respect to stock options and SARs that are granted in substitution of similar types of awards of a company acquired by us or an affiliate or with which we or our affiliate combine (whether in connection with a corporate transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or stock, or otherwise) to preserve the intrinsic value of such awards. As of [•], 2025, the closing price of the Common Stock for the regular market session, as reported by Nasdaq, was $[•]. |
2. | Restricted Stock. Awards of restricted stock are actual shares of Common Stock that are issued to a participant, but that are subject to forfeiture if the participant does not remain employed by us for a certain period of time and/or if certain performance goals are not met. Except for these restrictions and any others imposed by the administrator, the participant will generally have all of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the restricted stock, but will not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber shares of restricted stock before the risk of forfeiture lapses. Dividends declared payable on shares of restricted stock that are granted subject to risk of forfeiture conditioned solely on continued service over a period of time will be paid either at the dividend payment date or deferred for payment to such later date as determined by the administrator, and may be paid in cash or as unrestricted shares of Common Stock or may be reinvested in additional shares of restricted stock. Dividends declared payable on shares of restricted stock that are granted subject to risk of forfeiture conditioned on satisfaction of performance goals will be held by us and made subject to forfeiture at least until the applicable performance goal related to such shares of restricted stock has been satisfied. |

3. | Restricted Stock Units. An award of restricted stock units represents a contractual obligation of the Company to deliver a number of shares of Common Stock, an amount in cash equal to the fair market value of the specified number of shares subject to the award, or a combination of shares and cash. Until shares of Common Stock are issued to the participant in settlement of stock units, the participant will not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the stock units or the shares issuable pursuant to the stock units. Vesting of restricted stock units may be made subject to performance goals, the continued service of the participant or both. The administrator may provide that dividend equivalents will be paid or credited with respect to restricted stock units, but such dividend equivalents will be held by us and made subject to forfeiture at least until any applicable performance goal related to the restricted stock units has been satisfied. |
4. | Other Stock-Based Awards. The administrator may from time to time grant to eligible individuals awards in the form of other stock-based awards on such terms and conditions as the administrator may determine, including, without limitation, cash awards in connection with any short-term or long-term cash incentive program established by the Company or an affiliate. |
