Who is Entitled to Vote; Vote Required; Quorum
| 1 |
The Board has fixed the close of business on July 30, 2026, as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding (i) __________ shares of Common Stock, and (ii) __________ shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock” and, together with Common Stock, “Capital Stock”), together constituting the only outstanding classes or series of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Meeting.
Holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by them.
Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with holders of the Common Stock, voting together as a single class, with respect to all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company. In any such vote, the Series A Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted basis together with the Common Stock, with each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible, as provided by the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting and the voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the greater of (i) $0.02 per share (the “Floor Price”), which Floor Price shall be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or similar transactions, and (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the volume-weighted average price per share of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Conversion Price as of the Record Date be less than the Floor Price.
As of the Record Date, the voting power for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock was equal to __________ shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Accordingly, the holders of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Record Date collectively possessed the voting power of an aggregate of __________ shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis.
To carry on business at the Meeting, a quorum must be present. A quorum is present when a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock as of the Record Date are represented in person or by proxy. Thus, the presence (in person or by proxy) of holders of the voting power of an aggregate of __________ outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present for the Meeting.
Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. As used herein, “uninstructed shares” means shares held by a broker who has not received such instructions from its customers on a proposal. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding uninstructed shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that non-routine matter. In connection with the treatment of abstentions and broker non-votes, all proposals except for the Auditor Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal at this Meeting are considered “non-routine” matters, and brokers are not entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to these proposals.
Whether a matter specified in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Notice of Meeting”) has been approved by the requisite shareholder vote will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Company’s governing documents. In particular, assuming a quorum is present at the Meeting, (i) with respect to the Director Proposal, the directors of the Company will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, (ii) with respect to the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, approval requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock, and (iii) with respect to all other matters, action is approved upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. For each of the Director Proposal, the Auditor Proposal, the SIP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, abstentions will not be considered votes cast for the determination of whether such proposal has been approved by the requisite shareholder vote at the Meeting and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. For the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, abstentions will be considered shares present and entitled to vote thereon and will be counted towards the vote total and, therefore, will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” such proposal. In connection with the treatment of broker non-votes with respect to the Director Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the SIP Proposal, broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast for the determination of whether such proposal has been approved by the requisite shareholder vote at the Meeting and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Am I entitled to vote if my shares are held in “street name”?
If your shares are held by a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, the proxy materials are being made available to you by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee (the “record holder”), along with voting instructions. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your record holder on how to vote your shares, and the record holder is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give instructions to your record holder, it will not be entitled to vote your shares on any proposal.
As the beneficial owner of shares as of the Record Date, you are entitled to attend the Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner, however, you may not vote your shares at the Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy, executed in your favor, from the record holder of your shares.
How many shares must be present to hold the Meeting?
A quorum must be present at the Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Meeting of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Capital Stock outstanding on the Record Date will constitute a quorum. Accordingly, the presence (in person or by proxy) of holders of the voting power of an aggregate of __________ outstanding shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Proxies received but marked as abstentions will be counted towards the presence of a quorum.
What if a quorum is not present at the Meeting?
If a quorum is not present or represented at the Meeting, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, or the chairman of the Meeting, may adjourn the Meeting until a quorum is present or represented. The time and place of the adjourned meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given. At any subsequent reconvening of the Meeting at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting and all proxies will be voted in the same manner as they would have been voted at the original convening of the Meeting, except for any proxies that have been effectively revoked or withdrawn before the time the proxy is voted at the reconvened Meeting.
Can I revoke my proxy and change my vote?
You may change your vote at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the meeting.
If you are the shareholder of record, you may change your vote by (1) granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the methods described above (and until the applicable deadline for each method), (2) providing a written notice of revocation to Computershare, Attn: Proxy Tabulation, P.O.

Yes, your vote will be kept confidential and not disclosed to the Company unless:

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on the proposals?
Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” each of the proposals set forth in the Notice of Meeting and described in more detail in this Proxy Statement, consisting of:
| (i) | The Director Proposal; |
| (ii) | The Auditor Proposal; |
| (iii) | The Reverse Stock Split Proposal; |
| (iv) | The SIP Proposal; and |
| (v) | The Adjournment Proposal. |
Unless you provide other instructions on your Proxy Card, the persons named as proxy holders on the Proxy Card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board as set forth in this Proxy Statement.
What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?
If you return a signed and dated Proxy Card without marking any voting selections, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations set forth immediately above, and if any other matter is properly presented at the Meeting, your proxy holder (one of the individuals named on your Proxy Card) will vote your shares using his best judgment.
Will any other business be conducted at the meeting?
The Company’s Bylaws require shareholders to give the Company advance notice of any proposal intended to be presented at the Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has not received any such notice; accordingly, the Company does not anticipate any additional business will be conducted at the Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented at the Meeting, your proxy holder (one of the individuals named on your Proxy Card) will vote your shares using his best judgment.

What vote is required to approve each proposal and how are votes counted?
| Proposal | Vote Required for Approval | Voting Options | Effect of Abstentions | Effect of Broker Non-Votes | Matter | |||||||
Proposal 1: Director Proposal | Plurality of votes cast (the three nominees receiving the greatest number of “FOR” votes) | “FOR” “WITHHELD” | No effect | No effect | Non-routine | |||||||
Proposal 2: Auditor Proposal | “FOR” votes from the holders of a majority of the votes cast | “FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN” | No effect | Not applicable(1) | Routine | |||||||
Proposal 3: Reverse Stock Split Proposal | “FOR” votes from the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock | “FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN” | Against | No effect | Non-routine | |||||||
Proposal 4: SIP Proposal | “FOR” votes from the holders of a majority of the votes cast | “FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN” | No effect | No effect | Non-routine | |||||||
Proposal 5: Adjournment Proposal | “FOR” votes from the holders of a majority of the votes cast | “FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN” | No effect | Not applicable(1) | Routine |
| (1) | This proposal is considered to be a “routine” matter. Accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. |
What are “broker non-votes”?
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. Under the rules and interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange, “non-routine” matters include director elections (whether contested or uncontested), matters relating to equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, contested matters, and matters that may substantially affect the existing rights or privileges of shareholders.
In connection with the treatment of broker non-votes, each of the Director Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal and the SIP Proposal are considered “non-routine” matters, and brokers are not entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to these proposals. Accordingly, broker non-votes will not be considered votes cast for the determination of whether such proposal has been approved by the requisite shareholder vote at the Meeting and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Each of the Auditor Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are routine matters that brokers are entitled to vote upon without receiving instructions.
Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?
The Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation. We will also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
If you receive more than one set of proxy materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please complete, sign and return each Proxy Card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
I share the same address with another shareholder of the Company. Why has our household only received one set of proxy materials?
The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permit us to deliver a single set of proxy materials to one address shared by two or more of our shareholders. This practice, known as “householding,” is intended to reduce the Company’s printing and postage costs. We have delivered only one set of proxy materials to shareholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record and share a single address, unless we have received contrary instructions from any shareholder at that address. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, Notice or notice, or if your household is receiving multiple copies of these documents and you wish to request that future deliveries be limited to a single copy, please notify your broker.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Meeting?
Final voting results will be disclosed in a Form 8-K filed after the Meeting.
Who can help answer my questions?
You can contact Computershare with any technical questions related to attendance at the Meeting, including virtual meeting platform access, and proxy voting matters. Please refer to the virtual meeting platform for Computershare’s contact details.

PROPOSAL NO. 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Information about the Nominees
Our Board is currently composed of three directors. At the Meeting, the shareholders will elect three directors, each to hold office and serve as a member of the Board until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. All of the director nominees currently serve as directors of the Company, each of whom has held such office for a term commencing with their election at the 2024 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, and that will expire at the Meeting. Because the number of nominees properly nominated for the Meeting is the same as the number of directors to be elected, the election of directors at this Meeting is uncontested.
In the event any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director at the time of the Meeting, the proxies may be voted for the balance of those nominees named herein and for any substitute nominee designated by the present Board or the proxy holders to fill such vacancy, or for the balance of the nominees named without nomination of a substitute, or the size of the Board may be reduced in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company. Each nominee has agreed to serve as a director of the Company if elected. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named below will be unable or unwilling to serve as a nominee or as a director if elected.
Assuming a quorum is present, the three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast by the holders of shares present (in person or by proxy) at the Meeting and entitled to be voted for the election of directors will be elected as the directors of the Company. In accordance with our Bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes, a shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors may abstain by withholding authority to vote for all nominees of directors and may also withhold authority to vote for certain nominees for directors. Abstentions, withheld votes and broker non-votes will not be treated as a vote cast for or against any particular director nominee and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the election. Shareholders may not vote, or submit a proxy, for a greater number of nominees than the three nominees named below. Unless marked otherwise, proxies received will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the three nominees named below. In the event that additional persons are nominated for election as directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such a manner as will ensure the election of as many of the nominees listed below as possible, and, in such event, the specific nominees to be voted for will be determined by the proxy holders.
The following table sets forth the name, age and position of each of our director nominees at the Meeting.
| Name | Age | Positions | ||
| Amos Kohn | 66 | Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director | ||

To our knowledge, none of our current directors has, during the past ten years:
| ● | been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); |

Except as set forth in our discussion below under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” none of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any transaction with the Company, or any of the Company’s directors, executive officers, affiliates or associates, which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.
Family Relationships
None.
Board Independence; Board Committees
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and each director nominee and has determined that none of the directors meets the independence standards, as such term is defined by standards of the SEC or the listing standards of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. The Board has not established any committees that would be required if the Company were listed on a national securities exchange. Further, since there is no audit committee, the entire Board acts as the audit committee.
Meetings of the Board
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Board held four meetings and acted by unanimous written consent four times. We encourage, but do not require, our Board members to attend the annual meeting of shareholders.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our Common Stock and other equity securities with the SEC. These individuals are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, and written representations from reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% beneficial owners were complied with during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Code of Ethics
The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics for Executive Officers, Directors and Associates (the “Code”) which qualifies as a “code of ethics” as defined by Item 406 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Code applies to our directors, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or person performing similar functions as well as all our employees. The Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The full text of our Code is published on our website at www.turnongreen.com/investor-relations/#documents. We will disclose any substantive amendments to the Code or any waivers, explicit or implicit, from a provision of the Code on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K. Upon request to our Chief Executive Officer, Amos Kohn, we will provide without charge, a copy of our Code.
Among other matters, the Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| · | honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| · | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our SEC reports and other public communications; |
| · | compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
| · | prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to appropriate persons identified in the Code; and |
| · | accountability for adherence to the Code. |
Waivers to the Code may be granted only by the Board. In the event that the Board grants any waivers of the elements listed above to any of our officers, we expect to promptly disclose the waiver as required by applicable law or the private regulatory body.
| 11 |
Directors Compensation
The Company does not pay separate compensation to our directors for their service as a director. Each of the Company’s directors is also an employee, and compensation paid to such directors is fully reflected in the Summary Compensation Table, below.

Required Vote and Board Recommendation
Directors of the Company are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. The three director nominees receiving the largest number of “FOR” votes among votes properly cast (which may or may not constitute a majority) at the Meeting will be elected to serve as the directors of the Company. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. The Director Proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter, and brokers are not entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal.
You may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to each of the nominees for election as director. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and give no specific instruction but authorize us generally to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the three (3) nominees named in this Proxy Statement to the Board to hold office until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” each of the director nominees set forth above.

Report of the Board
The Board has furnished the following report on its activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The report is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the SEC’s proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that TurnOnGreen, Inc. specifically incorporates it by reference into any such filing.
The full Board, acting as the Company’s audit committee, oversees the financial reporting process on behalf of the Company. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial reporting process, principles and internal controls as well as preparation of our financial statements. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the members of the Board were Messrs. Kohn, Charuvastra and Gintz, none of whom was an independent director as defined by the applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules.
In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Board appointed CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. The Board reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and specific plans for their audit. The Board also reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors the Company’s audited financial statements and the adequacy of its internal controls. The Board met with the independent auditors to discuss the results of its audits, its evaluations of the Company’s internal controls and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
The Board monitored the independence and performance of the independent auditors. The Board discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard No. 16—Communications with Audit Committees. The Company’s independent auditors have provided the Board with the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Board concerning independence, and the Board has discussed with the independent auditor the independent auditor’s independence. Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Board determined that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Required Vote and Board Recommendation
The ratification of the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Because the Auditor Proposal is a “routine” matter, if a proxy is submitted on behalf of uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal and instructed shares with respect to the other proposals before the Meeting, brokers and other nominees are generally permitted to exercise discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on the Auditor Proposal. If a broker or other nominee exercises such authority, those shares will be voted on the Auditor Proposal, and no broker non-vote will occur with respect to the Auditor Proposal. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and give no specific instruction but authorize us generally to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Auditor Proposal.
Selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders for ratification. However, the Company is submitting this matter to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate governance. Even if the selection is ratified, the Board may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. If the selection is not ratified, the Board will consider its options.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of CBIZ CPAs P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

PROPOSAL NO. 3
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF COMMON STOCK
At the Meeting, our shareholders will consider and take action on the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, which seeks approval for an amendment to the Articles to effect a reverse stock split of the shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), by a ratio of not less than one-for-fifty and not more than one-for-five hundred at any time prior to December 31, 2028, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Our Board has adopted resolutions (1) declaring advisable the submission of an amendment to the Company’s Articles to effect the Reverse Stock Split as described further below and (2) directing that the Reverse Stock Split Proposal be submitted to our shareholders for their approval at the Meeting.
At the 2024 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Board sought and received shareholder approval for a reverse stock split on similar terms and in the same proportion as outlined for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal herein. However, the authority granted by the shareholders expired on July 18, 2025, without implementation of such reverse stock split. Accordingly, the Company seeks shareholder approval for the Reverse Stock Split Proposal at the Meeting. The Company has not conducted a reverse stock split at any time following the 2024 annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders.
If approved by our shareholders, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal would permit (but not require) our Board to effect the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to December 31, 2028, by a ratio of not less than one-for-fifty and not more than one-for-five hundred, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number within this range as determined by our Board in its sole discretion. We believe that granting discretionary authority to our Board to set the ratio within the stated range will provide us with the flexibility to implement the Reverse Stock Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for our shareholders. In determining a ratio, if any, following the receipt of shareholder approval, our Board may consider, among other things, factors such as:
| • | The initial listing requirements of the national securities exchanges; |
| • | the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock; |
| • | the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding; |
| • | the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our Common Stock; |
| • | the anticipated impact of a particular ratio on our ability to reduce administrative and transactional costs; and |
| • | prevailing general market and economic conditions. |
Our Board reserves the right to elect to abandon the Reverse Stock Split, including any or all proposed reverse stock split ratios, at any time prior to effecting the Reverse Stock Split if the Board determines, in its sole discretion, that effecting the Reverse Stock Split would no longer be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our Board, no less than fifty and no more than five hundred of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as determined by our Board, will be combined into one new share of Common Stock. The amendment to our Articles to effect the Reverse Stock Split, if any, will include only the reverse split ratio determined by our Board to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders, and all of the other proposed amendments at different ratios will be abandoned.
To avoid the issue of fractional shares of Common Stock, the Company will pay cash in lieu of fractional shares as described below.
Background and Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split; Potential Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
Our Board is submitting the Reverse Stock Split to our shareholders for approval at the Meeting with the primary intent of increasing the market price of our Common Stock to make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors. In addition to increasing the market price of our Common Stock, the Reverse Stock Split would also reduce certain of our costs, as discussed below. Accordingly, for these and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the Company’s and our shareholders’ best interests. The Board does not intend, as part of the Reverse Stock Split, to reduce the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock.
| 15 |
We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our Common Stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as we have been advised that the current market price of our Common Stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. 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. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of Common Stock can result in individual shareholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our Common Stock a more attractive and cost-effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidity of the holders of our Common Stock.
Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our Common Stock. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our Common Stock will increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our Common Stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our Common Stock after a Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.
The Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals to effect a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.
Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split
If the Reverse Stock Split Proposal is approved by our shareholders at the Meeting, the Company would take actions to cause the Reverse Stock Split to become effective upon the filing (the “Effective Time”) of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s Articles with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The exact timing of the filing of any such certificate of amendment that will effectuate the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our shareholders. In addition, our Board reserves the right, notwithstanding shareholder approval and without further action by the shareholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the amendment to the Company’s Articles, our Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our shareholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If a certificate of amendment effectuating the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada by the close of business on December 31, 2028, our Board will abandon the Reverse Stock Split.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Holders of Outstanding Common Stock
Depending on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our Board, a minimum of fifty and a maximum of five hundred outstanding shares of Common Stock will be combined into one new share of Common Stock. As of the Record Date, the Company had a total of 2,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized and __________ shares issued and outstanding. The table below shows, as of the Record Date, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (excluding Treasury shares) that would result from the listed hypothetical reverse stock split ratios (without giving effect to the treatment of fractional shares):
| Reverse Stock Split Ratio | Approximate Number of Outstanding Shares of Common Stock Following the Reverse Stock Split | |
| 1-for-50 | ||
| 1-for-___ | ||
| 1-for-___ | ||
| 1-for-___ | ||
| 1-for-___ | ||
| 1-for-500 |
The actual number of shares issued after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, will depend on the reverse stock split ratio that is ultimately determined by our Board.
The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of our Common Stock uniformly and will not affect any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except that as described below in “Fractional Shares,” record holders of Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any shareholder’s proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares).
| 16 |
The Reverse Stock Split may result in some shareholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.
After the Effective Time, our Common Stock will have a new Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) number, which is a number used to identify our equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP numbers will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP numbers by following the procedures described below. After the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. Our Common Stock will continue to be listed on OTCID market under the symbol “TOGI.”
Beneficial Holders of Common Stock (i.e., shareholders who hold in street name)
Upon the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by shareholders through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee in the same manner as registered shareholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our Common Stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered shareholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders who hold shares of our Common Stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees.
Registered “Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e., shareholders whose names are registered on the transfer agent’s books and records but do not hold stock certificates)
Certain of our registered holders of Common Stock may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These shareholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of the Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.
Shareholders who hold shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent will not need to take action (the exchange will be automatic) to receive whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, subject to adjustment for treatment of fractional shares.
Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock
Shareholders holding shares of our Common Stock in certificated form will be sent a transmittal letter by the exchange agent after the Effective Time. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how a shareholder should surrender his, her or its certificate(s) representing shares of our Common Stock (the “Old Certificates”) to the transfer agent in exchange for certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock (the “New Certificates”).
No new post-Reverse Split Common Stock will be issued to a shareholder until such shareholder has surrendered all Old Certificates, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to the exchange agent. No shareholder will be required to pay a transfer or other fee to exchange his, her or its Old Certificates. Shareholders will then receive a Direct Registration Statement representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock that they are entitled as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, subject to the treatment of fractional shares described below. Until surrendered, we will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by shareholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock to which these shareholders are entitled, subject to the treatment of fractional shares. Any Old Certificates submitted for exchange, whether because of a sale, transfer or other disposition of stock, will automatically be exchanged for post-Reverse Split Common Stock. If an Old Certificate has a restrictive legend on the back of the Old Certificate(s), a New Certificate will be issued with the same restrictive legends that are on the back of the Old Certificate(s).
SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Fractional Shares
Prevailing market prices
We will not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares because the number of shares of Common Stock they hold before the Reverse Stock Split is not evenly divisible by the split ratio ultimately determined by the Board will be entitled to receive a cash payment (without interest and subject to applicable withholding taxes) from the exchange agent in lieu of such fractional shares. The cash payment is subject to applicable U.S. federal and state income tax and state abandoned property laws. Shareholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Effective Time and the date payment is received.
| 17 |
We currently anticipate that, in lieu of issuing fractional shares, the aggregate of all fractional shares otherwise issuable to the holders of record of Common Stock shall be issued to the exchange agent for the Common Stock, as agent, for the accounts of all holders of record of Common Stock otherwise entitled to have a fraction of a share issued to them. The sale of all fractional interests will be effected by the exchange agent as soon as practicable after the Effective Time on the basis of prevailing market prices of the Common Stock at the time of sale. After such sale and upon the surrender of the shareholders’ stock certificates, if any, the exchange agent will pay to such holders of record their pro rata share of the net proceeds (after customary brokerage commissions and other expenses) derived from the sale of the fractional interests.
After the Reverse Stock Split, a shareholder will have no further interest in the Company with respect to its fractional share interest, and persons otherwise entitled to a fractional share will not have any voting, dividend or other rights with respect thereto except the right to receive a cash payment as described above.
Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Employee Plans, Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Warrants and Convertible or Exchangeable Securities
Based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities entitling the holders to purchase, exchange for, or convert into, shares of Common Stock. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options, warrants, convertible or exchangeable securities upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of Common Stock being delivered upon such exercise, exchange or conversion, immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares deliverable upon settlement or vesting of outstanding equity awards (if any) will be similarly adjusted, subject to our treatment of fractional shares. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be proportionately based upon the reverse stock split ratio determined by the Board, subject to our treatment of fractional shares.
Accounting Matters
The proposed amendment to the Company’s Articles will not affect the par value of our Common Stock per share, which will remain $0.001. As a result, as of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock and the additional paid-in capital account on our balance sheet will not change due to the Reverse Stock Split. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split
The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split to holders of our Common Stock.
Unless otherwise specifically indicated herein, this summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our Common Stock (a “U.S. holder”). A trust may also be a U.S. holder if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person. An estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source may also be a U.S. holder. This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular investor, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to (i) persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as banks, insurance companies, thrift institutions, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, tax-exempt organizations, U.S. expatriates, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to mark to market and dealers in securities or currencies, (ii) persons that hold our Common Stock as part of a position in a “straddle” or as part of a “hedging,” “conversion” or other integrated investment transaction for federal income tax purposes, or (iii) persons that do not hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment).
If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.
This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.
U.S. Holders
The Reverse Stock Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, a shareholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the reverse stock split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest in the post-reverse stock split shares. The aggregate tax basis of the post-split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-split shares exchanged therefore (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-split shares exchanged. A holder of the pre-split shares who receives cash will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the pre-split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be short term if the pre-split shares were held for one year or less and long term if held more than one year. No gain or loss will be recognized by us as a result of the reverse stock split.
No Appraisal Rights
Under Nevada law and our charter documents, holders of our Common Stock will not be entitled to dissenter’s rights or appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split.
Required Vote and Board Recommendation
The approval of the Reverse Stock Split Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock as of the Record Date and entitled to vote. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal. The Reverse Stock Split Proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter, so brokers are not entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and give no specific instruction but authorize us generally to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO the COMPANY’S Articles to authorize AND EFFECT the Reverse Stock Split AS DESCRIBED HEREIN.

PROPOSAL NO. 4
APPROVAL OF THE TURNONGREEN, INC. 2026 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
Overview
On January 22, 2026, the Board adopted the TurnOnGreen, Inc. 2026 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”), subject to and effective upon stockholder approval at the Meeting. We are asking our shareholders to approve the 2026 Plan in order to permit the Company to use the 2026 Plan to achieve the Company's performance, recruiting, retention and incentive goals.
The 2026 Plan includes a variety of forms of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and dividend equivalents to allow the Company to adapt its incentive program to meet the needs of the Company in the changing business environment in which the Company operates.
We strongly believe that the approval of the 2026 Plan is essential to our continued success. We believe that equity is an important and significant component of our employees’ compensation. The Board further believes that equity incentives motivate high levels of performance, align the interests of our employees and shareholders by giving directors, employees and consultants the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the Company, and provide an effective means of recognizing their contributions to the success of the Company. The Board and management believe that the ability to grant equity incentives will be important to the future success of the Company and is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders.
One of the requirements of “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the IRC is that the material terms of performance-based awards be approved by shareholders. The material terms include: (i) the employees eligible to receive compensation, (ii) a description of the business criteria upon which a performance goal may be based, and (iii) the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to an employee under awards intended to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m). Stockholder approval of the 2026 Plan is intended to constitute approval of each of these aspects of the 2026 Plan for purposes of the approval requirements of Section 162(m). However, nothing in this proposal precludes the Company or the Compensation Committee, which administers the 2026 Plan, from granting awards that do not qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m), nor is there any guarantee that awards intended to qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m) will ultimately be viewed as so qualifying by the Internal Revenue Service. If shareholders fail to reapprove the material terms of performance-based awards under the 2026 Plan, we may continue to pay performance-based compensation thereunder in the future, even though any such compensation paid may not meet the conditions for tax deductibility under Section 162(m).
The Company currently maintains the TurnOnGreen, Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), which was considered and approved by the Company’s shareholders at the special meeting of shareholders held on June 27, 2023. The 2023 Plan reserved 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance. As of December 31, 2025, no award had been granted, and no share had been issued, pursuant to the 2023 Plan. The Company does not intend to grant any award or issue any share pursuant to the 2023 Plan prior to the Meeting. If our shareholders approve the 2026 Plan, then the 2026 Plan will supersede and replace the 2023 Plan, the 2023 Plan will automatically be terminated, and no awards will be subsequently granted under the 2023 Plan.
As of the Record Date, the 2023 Plan had 100 million shares of Common Stock available for issuance under new awards and no shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards. As of the Record Date, the market price per share of Common Stock was $____.
A total of 200 million shares of Common Stock are proposed to be reserved for issuance under the 2026 Plan, consisting of (i) all 100 million shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan that remain available and unissued as of the Record Date and which will be transferred to the 2026 Plan and (ii) 100 million additional shares of Common Stock which will be reserved for issuance under the 2026 Plan, subject to stockholder approval. The potential dilution resulting from issuing all of the proposed 100 million additional shares to be authorized for issuance under the 2026 Plan, assuming the 2026 Plan is approved by the shareholders, would on the Record Date be ___% (giving effect to such issuance).
We are seeking stockholder approval of the 2026 Plan in order to satisfy certain legal requirements, including making awards under it eligible for beneficial tax treatment. In addition, the Board regards stockholder approval of the 2026 Plan as desirable and consistent with good corporate governance practices.
Assuming shareholders approve the 2026 Plan, the 2026 Plan will be effective as of the date of the Meeting.
Summary of the 2026 Plan
The following is a summary of the material terms of the 2026 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2026 Plan, attached as Annex A to this Proxy Statement.
| 20 |
General. The 2026 Plan would authorize the grant to eligible individuals of (1) stock options (incentive and nonstatutory), (2) restricted stock, (3) stock appreciation rights, or SARs, (4) restricted stock units, and (5) other stock-based compensation.
Stock Subject to the 2026 Plan. The maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued under the 2026 Plan is 200 million shares, which amount includes the 100 million unissued shares reserved for issuance under the 2023 Plan and will be increased to the extent that awards granted under the 2026 Plan are forfeited, expire or are settled for cash (except as otherwise provided in the 2026 Plan).
Substitute awards (awards made or shares issued by the Company in assumption of, or in substitution or exchange for, awards previously granted, or the right or obligation to make future awards, in each case by a company acquired by the Company or any Company subsidiary or with which the Company or any subsidiary combines) will not reduce the shares authorized for grant under the 2026 Plan, nor will shares subject to a substitute award be added to the shares available for issuance or transfer under the 2026 Plan.
No Liberal Share Recycling. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any and all stock that is (i) withheld or tendered in payment of an option exercise price; (ii) withheld by the Company or tendered by the grantee to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to any award; (iii) covered by a SAR that it is settled in stock, without regard to the number of shares of stock that are actually issued to the grantee upon exercise; or (vi) reacquired by the Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of options, shall not be added to the maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued under the 2026 Plan.
Eligibility. Employees of, and consultants to, our Company or its affiliates and members of our Board are eligible to receive equity awards under the 2026 Plan. Only our employees, and employees of our parent and subsidiary corporations, if any, are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options. Employees, directors (including non-employee directors) and consultants of or for our Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Purchase Rights and any other form of award the 2026 Plan authorizes.
Purpose. The purpose of the 2026 Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing executive officers, employees, non-employee directors, and key advisors of the Company and its defined subsidiaries with appropriate incentives and rewards to encourage them to enter into and remain in their positions with the Company and to acquire a proprietary interest in the long-term success of the Company, as well as to reward the performance of these individuals in fulfilling their personal responsibilities for long-range and annual achievements.
Administration. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Compensation Committee, once one is established, will administer the 2026 Plan. Until such time, the 2026 Plan will be administered by the Board; this discussion presumes that a Compensation Committee shall have been formed, which is presently not the case.
The Compensation Committee is composed solely of “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, and “independent directors” within the meaning of Nasdaq listing standards. The Compensation Committee has the power, in its discretion, to grant awards under the 2026 Plan, to select the individuals to whom awards are granted, to determine the terms of the grants, to interpret the provisions of the 2026 Plan and to otherwise administer the 2026 Plan. Except as prohibited by applicable law or any rule promulgated by a national securities exchange to which the Company may in the future be subject, the Compensation Committee may delegate all or any of its responsibilities and powers under the 2026 Plan to one or more of its members, including, without limitation, the power to designate participants and determine the amount, timing and term of awards under the 2026 Plan. In no event, however, shall the Compensation Committee have the power to accelerate the payment or vesting of any award, other than in the event of death, disability, retirement or a change of control of the Company.
The 2026 Plan provides that members of the Compensation Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss or expense resulting from claims and litigation arising from actions related to the 2026 Plan.
Term. If the 2026 Plan is approved by shareholders at the Meeting, the 2026 Plan will be effective on September 18, 2026, and awards may be granted through September 17, 2036. No awards may be granted under the 2026 Plan subsequent to that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the 2026 Plan without stockholder approval or ratification at any time or from time to time.
Amendments. Subject to the terms of the 2026 Plan, the Compensation Committee as administrator has the sole discretion to interpret the provisions of the 2026 Plan and outstanding awards. Our Board generally may amend or terminate the 2026 Plan at any time and for any reason, except that no amendment, suspension, or termination may impair the rights of any participant without his or her consent, and except that approval of our shareholders is required for any amendment that:
| · | Increases the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the 2026 Plan; |
| · | Decreases the price at which grants may be granted; |
| · | Reprices existing options; |
| · | Materially increases the benefits to participants; or |
| · | Changes the class of persons eligible to receive grants under the 2026 Plan. |
| 21 |
Repricing Prohibition. Other than in connection with certain corporate events, the Compensation Committee shall not, without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, (a) lower the option price per share of an option or SAR after it is granted, (b) cancel an Option or SAR when the exercise price per share exceeds the fair market value of one share in exchange for cash or another award (other than in connection with a change of control), or (c) take any other action with respect to an Option or SAR that would be treated as a repricing under the rules and regulations of the principal U.S. national securities exchange on which the Company’s shares are then listed.
Minimum Vesting Requirement. Grantees of full-value awards (i.e., awards other than options and SARs), will be required to continue to provide services to the Company or an affiliated company for not less than one-year following the date of grant in order for any such full-value Awards to fully or partially vest (other than in case of death, disability or a Change of Control). Notwithstanding the foregoing, up to five percent (5%) of the available shares of stock authorized for issuance under the 2026 Plan may provide for vesting of full-value awards, partially or in full, in less than one-year.
Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property, other than a regular cash dividend), stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in our corporate structure affecting our Common Stock or the value thereof, appropriate adjustments to the 2026 Plan and awards will be made as the Board determines to be equitable or appropriate, including adjustments in the number and class of shares of stock available for issuance under the 2026 Plan, the number, class and exercise or grant price of shares subject to awards outstanding under the 2026 Plan, and the limits on the number of awards that any person may receive.
Change of Control. Agreements evidencing awards under the 2026 Plan may provide that upon a Change of Control (as defined in the 2026 Plan), unless otherwise provided in the agreement evidencing an award), outstanding Awards may be cancelled and terminated without payment if the consideration payable with respect to one share of Stock in connection with the Change of Control is less than the exercise price or grant price applicable to such Award, as applicable.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of the 2026 Plan to the contrary, the vesting, payment, purchase or distribution of an Award may not be accelerated by reason of a Change of Control for any participant unless the Grantee’s employment is involuntarily terminated as a result of the Change of Control as provided in the Award agreement or in any other written agreement, including an employment agreement, between us and the participant. If the Change of Control results in the involuntary termination of participant’s employment, outstanding awards will immediately vest, become fully exercisable and may thereafter be exercised.
Generally, under the 2026 Plan, a Change of Control occurs upon (i) the consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation of our Company with or into another entity, pursuant to which our shareholders immediately prior to the transaction do not own more than 50% of the total combined voting power after the transaction, (ii) the consummation of the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, (iii) certain changes in the majority of our Board from those in office on the effective date of the 2026 Plan, (iv) the acquisition of more than 50% of the total combined voting power in our outstanding securities by any person, or (v) the Company is dissolved or liquidated.
Types of Awards
Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options and Nonstatutory Stock Options are granted pursuant to award agreements adopted by our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2026 Plan; provided, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2026 Plan vest at the rate specified by our Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee determines the term of stock options granted under the 2026 Plan, up to a maximum of 10 years, except in the case of certain Incentive Stock Options, as described below. The Compensation Committee will also determine the length of period during which an optionee may exercise their options if an optionee’s relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases for any reason; for Incentive Stock Options, this period is limited by applicable law. The Compensation Committee may extend the exercise period in the event that exercise of the option following termination of service is prohibited by applicable securities laws. In no event, however, may an option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term unless the term is extended in accordance with applicable law.
Acceptable consideration for the purchase of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option will be determined by the Compensation Committee and may include (a) cash or its equivalent, (b) delivering a properly executed notice of exercise of the option to us and a broker, with irrevocable instructions to the broker promptly to deliver to us the amount necessary to pay the exercise price of the option, (c) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Compensation Committee or (d) any combination of (a), (b) or (c).
| 22 |
Unless the Compensation Committee provides otherwise, options are generally transferable in accordance with applicable law, provided that any transferee of such options agrees to become bound by the terms of the 2026 Plan. An optionee may also designate a beneficiary who may exercise the option following the optionee’s death.
Incentive or Nonstatutory Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to our employees, and the employees of our subsidiary corporations. The Compensation Committee may grant awards of Incentive or Nonstatutory Stock Options that are fully vested on the date made, to any of our employees, directors or consultants. Option Awards are granted pursuant to award agreements adopted by our Compensation Committee. To the extent required by applicable law, the aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of shares of our Common Stock with respect to Incentive Stock Options that are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year may not exceed $200,000. To the extent required by applicable law, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (a) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and (b) the term of the incentive stock option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.
Stock Appreciation Rights. An SAR is the right to receive stock, cash, or other property equal in value to the difference between the grant price of the SAR and the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the exercise date. SARs may be granted independently or in tandem with an Option at the time of grant of the related Option. An SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the underlying Option is exercisable. An SAR confers on the grantee a right to receive an amount with respect to each share of Common Stock subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, equal to the excess of (A) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over (B) the grant price of the SAR (which in the case of an SAR granted in tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the underlying Option, and which in the case of any other SAR shall be such price as the Compensation Committee may determine but shall in no event be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of such SAR).
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted Stock is Common Stock that the Company grants subject to transfer restrictions and vesting criteria. A Restricted Stock Unit is a right to receive stock or cash equal to the value of a share of stock at the end of a specified period that the Company grants subject to transfer restrictions and vesting criteria. The grant of these awards under the 2026 Plan are subject to such terms, conditions and restrictions as the Compensation Committee determines consistent with the terms of the 2026 Plan.
At the time of grant, the Compensation Committee may place restrictions on Restricted Stock and restricted stock units that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of Performance Goals; provided that such Performance Goals shall relate to periods of performance of at least one fiscal year, and if the award is granted to a 162(m) Officer, the grant of the award and the establishment of the Performance Goals shall be made during the period required under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Except to the extent restricted under the award agreement relating to the Restricted Stock, a grantee granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder including the right to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends.
Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, upon the vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, there shall be delivered to the grantee, within 30 days of the date on which such award (or any portion thereof) vests, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of restricted stock units becoming so vested.
Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2026 Plan also allows the Compensation Committee to grant “Other Stock-Based Awards,” which means a right or other interest that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Common Stock. Subject to the limitations contained in the 2026 Plan, this includes, without limitation, (i) unrestricted stock awarded as a bonus or upon the attainment of Performance Goals or otherwise as permitted under the 2026 Plan and (ii) a right to acquire stock from the Company containing terms and conditions prescribed by the Compensation Committee. At the time of the grant of Other Stock-Based Awards, the Compensation Committee may place restrictions on the payout or vesting of Other Stock-Based Awards that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of Performance Goals; provided that such Performance Goals shall relate to periods of performance of at least one fiscal year, and if the award is granted to a 162(m) Officer, the grant of the Award and the establishment of the Performance Goals shall be made during the period required under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Other Stock-Based Awards may not be granted with the right to receive dividend equivalent payments.
Performance Awards. Performance awards provide participants with the opportunity to receive shares of our Common Stock, cash or other property based on performance and other vesting conditions. Performance awards may be granted from time to time as determined at the discretion of the Board, or the Compensation Committee (as applicable). Subject to the share limit and maximum dollar value set forth above under “Limits per Participant,” the Board, or the Compensation Committee (as applicable), has the discretion to determine (i) the number of shares of Common Stock under, or the dollar value of, a performance award and (ii) the conditions that must be satisfied for grant or for vesting, which typically will be based principally or solely on achievement of performance goals.
| 23 |
Performance Criteria. With respect to awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), a committee of “outside directors” (as defined in Code Section 162(m)) with authority delegated by our Board will determine the terms and conditions of such awards, including the performance criteria. The performance goals for restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards or other share-based awards shall be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following:
| · | the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified percentage increase in, revenues, earnings, income before taxes and extraordinary items, net income, operating income, earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of income tax, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or a combination of any or all of the foregoing; |
| · | the attainment of certain target levels of, or a percentage increase in, after-tax or pre-tax profits including, without limitation, that attributable to continuing and/or other operations; |
| · | the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, operational cash flow; |
| · | the achievement of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level of increase in, all or a portion of, the Company’s bank debt or other long-term or short-term public or private debt or other similar financial obligations of the Company, which may be calculated net of such cash balances and/or other offsets and adjustments as may be established by the Compensation Committee; |
| · | earnings per share or the attainment of a specified percentage increase in earnings per share or earnings per share from continuing operations; |
| · | the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in return on capital employed or return on invested capital; |
| · | the attainment of certain target levels of, or a percentage increase in, after-tax or pre-tax return on shareholders’ equity; |
| · | the attainment of certain target levels of, or a specified increase in, economic value added targets based on a cash flow return on investment formula; |
| · | the attainment of certain target levels in, or specified increases in, the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock; |
| · | the growth in the value of an investment in the Company’s Common Stock; |
| · | the attainment of a certain level of, reduction of, or other specified objectives with regard to limiting the level in or increase in, all or a portion of controllable expenses or costs or other expenses or costs; |
| · | gross or net sales, revenue and growth of sales revenue (either before or after cost of goods, selling and general administrative expenses, research and development expenses and any other expenses or interest); |
| · | total stockholder return; |
| · | return on assets or net assets; |
| · | return on sales; |
| · | operating profit or net operating profit; |
| · | operating margin; |
| · | gross or net profit margin; |
| · | cost reductions or savings; |
| · | productivity; |
| · | operating efficiency; |
| · | working capital; |
| · | customer satisfaction; and |
| · | to the extent that an Award is not intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, other measures of performance selected by the Board. |
The performance goals may be based solely by reference to our performance or the performance of one or more of our subsidiaries, parents, divisions, business segments or business units, or based upon the relative performance of other companies or upon comparisons of any of the indicators of performance relative to other companies. The authorized committee of outside directors may also exclude under the terms of the performance awards, the impact of an event or occurrence that the committee determines should appropriately be excluded, including (i) restructurings, discontinued operations, extraordinary items, and other unusual or non-recurring charges, or (ii) changes in generally accepted accounting principles or practices.
In connection with the approval of the 2026 Plan, the shareholders also are being asked to approve the above criteria for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.
New Plan Benefits under the 2026 Plan
Because future awards under the 2026 Plan will be granted in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the type, number, recipients, and other terms of such awards cannot be determined at this time.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
The following is a brief description of the material United States federal income tax consequences associated with awards under the 2026 Plan. It is based on existing United States laws and regulations, and there can be no assurance that those laws and regulations will not change in the future. Tax consequences in other countries may vary. This information is not intended as tax advice to anyone, including participants in the 2026 Plan.
| 24 |
Stock Options. Neither incentive stock option grants nor non-qualified stock option grants cause any tax consequences to the participant or the Company at the time of grant. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the excess of the market value of the shares acquired over their exercise price is ordinary income to the participant and is deductible by the Company. The participant’s tax basis for the shares is the market value thereof at the time of exercise. Any gain or loss realized upon a subsequent disposition of the stock will generally constitute capital gain, in connection with which the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction.
Upon the exercise of an incentive stock option, the participant will not realize taxable income, but the excess of the fair market value of the stock over the exercise price may give rise to alternative minimum tax. When the stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is subsequently sold, the participant will recognize income equal to the difference between the sales price and the exercise price of the option. If the sale occurs after the expiration of two years from the grant date and one year from the exercise date, the income will constitute long-term capital gain. If the sale occurs prior to that time, the participant will recognize ordinary income to the extent of the lesser of the gain realized upon the sale or the difference between the fair market value of the acquired stock at the time of exercise and the exercise price; any additional gain will constitute capital gain. The Company will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant, but no deduction in connection with any capital gain recognized by the participant. If the participant exercises an incentive stock option more than three months after his or her termination of employment due to retirement or other separation other than death or disability, or more than twelve months after his or her termination of employment due to death or permanent disability, he or she is deemed to have exercised a non-qualified stock option.
Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant granted a stock appreciation right under the 2026 Plan will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time the award is granted. When the participant exercises the stock appreciation right, the amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of stock or other consideration received will be ordinary income to the participant and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time. Compensation realized by the participant on the exercise of the stock appreciation right should qualify as performance-based compensation under the Code and thus not be subject to the $1,000,000 deductibility limit of Code Section 162(m).
Restricted Stock. Restricted stock is not taxable to a participant at the time of grant, but instead is included in ordinary income (at its then fair market value) when the restrictions lapse. A participant may elect, however, to recognize income at the time of grant, in which case the fair market value of the restricted shares at the time of grant is included in ordinary income and there is no further income recognition when the restrictions lapse. If a participant makes such an election and thereafter forfeits the restricted shares, he or she will be entitled to no tax deduction, capital loss or other tax benefit. The Company is entitled to a tax deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the participant, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).
A participant’s tax basis for restricted shares will be equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the participant. The participant will recognize capital gain (or loss) on a sale of the restricted stock if the sale price exceeds (or is lower than) such basis. The holding period for restricted shares for purposes of characterizing gain or loss on the sale of any shares as long- or short-term commences at the time the participant recognizes ordinary income pursuant to an award. The Company is not entitled to a tax deduction corresponding to any capital gain or loss of the participant.
Restricted Stock Units. A participant will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a restricted stock unit award is granted. Upon receipt of shares of stock (or the equivalent value in cash or any combination of cash and the Company Common Stock) in settlement of a restricted stock unit award, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the stock and cash received as of that date (less any amount he or she paid for the stock and cash), and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).
Performance Awards. A participant will not recognize income, and the Company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a performance award is granted (for example, when the performance goals are established). Upon receipt of stock or cash (or a combination thereof) in settlement of a performance award, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the stock and cash received, and the Company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).
Code Section 409A. If an award is subject to Code Section 409A (which relates to nonqualified deferred compensation plans), and if the requirements of Section 409A are not met, the taxable events as described above could apply earlier than described, and could result in the imposition of additional taxes and penalties. All awards that comply with the terms of the 2026 Plan, however, are intended to be exempt from the application of Code Section 409A or meet the requirements of Section 409A in order to avoid such early taxation and penalties.
| 25 |
Tax Withholding. The Company has the right to deduct or withhold, or require a participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes (including employment taxes) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the 2026 Plan. The Compensation Committee may, at the time the award is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in whole or in part, by delivery of, or withholding from the award, shares having a fair market value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld for tax purposes.
Required Vote and Board Recommendation
Approval of the 2026 Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. The SIP Proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter, so brokers are not entitled to vote uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and give no specific instruction but authorize us generally to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” the SIP Proposal.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the 2026 Plan.
| 26 |
PROPOSAL NO. 5
APPROVAL TO ADJOURN THE MEETING TO A LATER DATE OR TIME, IF NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE
Overview
The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow the Chairman of the Meeting to adjourn the Meeting one or more times to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, including to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to the Company’s shareholders in the event that based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, including the resumption of the previously adjourned Meeting, if applicable, there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Auditor Proposal, the Reverse Stock Split Proposal or the SIP Proposal. In no event will the Meeting be adjourned beyond the date by which it may properly be done under the Company’s Bylaws or Nevada law.
Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by stockholders, the Company may not be able to adjourn the Meeting to a later date in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of any other proposal before the Meeting.
Required Vote and Board Recommendation
The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Because the Adjournment Proposal is a “routine” matter, if a proxy is submitted on behalf of uninstructed shares with respect to this proposal and instructed shares with respect to the other proposals before the Meeting, brokers and other nominees are generally permitted to exercise discretionary authority to vote uninstructed shares on the Adjournment Proposal. If a broker or other nominee exercises such authority, those shares will be voted on the Adjournment Proposal, and no broker non-vote will occur with respect to the Adjournment Proposal. You may vote “FOR”, “AGAINST”, or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. If you return a signed and dated proxy card and give no specific instruction but authorize us generally to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the approval to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or time, if necessary OR APPROPRIATE, INCLUDING to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve other proposals before the Meeting.

CEO Pay Ratio
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing disclosure regarding the ratio of annual total compensation of Mr. Kohn, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to that of our median employee. Our median employee earned $__________ in total compensation for 2025. Based upon the total 2025 compensation reported for Mr. Kohn of $__________ as reported under “Total” in the Summary Compensation Table, our ratio of PEO to median employee pay was _:_. Our median employee is employed in our Digital Power Corporation subsidiary.
Calculation methodology
To identify our median employee, we identified our total employee population as of December 31, 2025, excluding our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, in accordance with SEC rules. On December 31, 2025, 100% of our employee population was in the U.S.
We collected actual gross earnings data for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, employee population, including cash-based compensation and equity-based compensation that was realized in 2025, relying on our internal payroll records. Compensation was annualized on a straight-line basis for non-temporary new hire employees who did not work with our company for the full calendar year, which is also our fiscal year.
Once we determined the median employee, we calculated total compensation for the median employee in the same manner in which we determine the compensation shown for our named executive officers in the Summary Compensation Table, in accordance with SEC rules.

Policies on Ownership, Insider Trading, 10b5-1 Plans and Hedging
We do not have formal stock ownership guidelines for our employees or directors, because the Board is satisfied that stock and option holdings among our employees or directors are sufficient at this time to provide motivation and to align this group’s interests with those of our shareholders. We have not yet established an insider trading policy, a 10b5-1 plan or any hedging policies.
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
At the annual meeting of shareholders on July 19, 2024, the shareholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. At the annual meeting of shareholders on July 19, 2024, the shareholders also approved, on an advisory basis, a frequency of three years for holding the advisory vote on executive compensation.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
Except as otherwise indicated below, the following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of the Record Date by (1) each of our current directors; (2) each of the executive officers; (3) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock based upon Schedules 13G or 13D filed with the SEC; and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. As of the Record Date, there were __________ shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Common Stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group. Unless otherwise indicated by footnote, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Director Independence
We use the definition of “independence” of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules to make this determination. Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Rule 5605(a)(2) generally provides that a director cannot be considered independent if:
| · | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company or its parent; |

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions
The Company’s audit committee, when established, will have the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related party transactions,” which are transactions between us and related persons in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds or may be expected to exceed $120,000 and in which a related person has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. The policy regarding transactions between us and related persons will provide that a related person is defined as a director, executive officer or greater than 5% beneficial owner of common stock, in each case since the beginning of the most recently completed year, and any of their immediate family members. An investor may obtain a written copy of this policy, once adopted, by sending a written request to TurnOnGreen, Inc., 2030 Ringwood Ave., San Jose, California 95131, Attention: Legal Department. Our audit committee charter that will be in effect, once adopted, will provide that the audit committee shall review and approve or disapprove certain related party transactions, including material transactions with HDI.
Except as described below, we did not engage in any related party transactions since January 1, 2025, in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, and we have no currently proposed related party transactions.
On September 26, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement with HDI, an affiliate of the Company. The original Loan and Security Agreement, dated August 15, 2023, provided for a secured, non-revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.0 million and an initial maturity date of December 31, 2023. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company and HDI agreed, among other things, to increase the aggregate credit limit from $2.0 million to $8.0 million, extend the maturity date to December 31, 2026, and provide that loans made in excess of the original credit limit would also constitute advances under the credit facility. Advances under the credit facility are payable upon demand by HDI.
Allocation of General Corporate Expenses
HDI provides human resources, accounting and other services to the Company, which are included as allocations of these expenses. The allocation method calculates an appropriate share of overhead costs by using Company revenue as a percentage of total revenue. This method is reasonable and consistently applied. Costs incurred in connection with the allocation of these costs are reflected in selling, general and administrative of $196,000 and $401,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, and were recorded in HDI advance payable.

As described above, on September 26, 2024, the Company and HDI entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Loan and Security Agreement, dated August 15, 2023 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provided for a secured, non-revolving credit facility with an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Credit Limit”) through December 31, 2023 (the “Credit Termination Date”). All loans under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Advances”) were payable within five business days of a request by HDI, and HDI was not obligated to provide any further Advances after the Credit Termination Date.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and HDI have agreed to, among other things, amend the Credit Agreement to increase the Credit Limit to $8,000,000, extend the Credit Termination Date to December 31, 2026, and provide for additional loans made in excess of the initial Credit Limit to become Advances.
During June 2023, HDI and the Company’s management determined that all allocations and capital funding provided to us by HDI beginning April 1, 2023, would be repaid, and treated as a related party note payable. On August 15, 2023, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement in relation to the outstanding HDI advance payable of $701,000 as of June 30, 2023. The related party note payable accrues interest of 10%, has no fixed terms of repayment and is recorded as related party notes and advances payable.
The Company recorded related-party interest expense of $583,000 and $368,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, in interest expense, related party.
Convertible Note Financing
On October 29, 2025, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with SJC Lending LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SJC”), pursuant to which SJC has agreed to purchase convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of up to $1,650,000 (the “Convertible Notes”) for a total purchase price of $1,500,000. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the purchase of the Convertible Notes will be made through seven separate tranche closings. The initial tranche closing, which occurred on October 29, 2025, consisted of the issuance of a Convertible Note to SJC in the principal amount of $440,000, for a purchase price of $400,000.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, SJC purchased the second tranche of Convertible Notes in the principal amount of $220,000 for a purchase price of $200,000 on December 16, 2025.
Additionally in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement, and subject to certain conditions being satisfied, SJC will purchase additional Convertible Notes having an aggregate principal face amount of $990,000 for a total purchase price of $900,000, to be funded in monthly increments consistent with the tranche schedule set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Convertible Notes accrue interest at the rate of 12% per annum, unless an event of default (as defined in the applicable Convertible Note) occurs, at which time the Convertible Notes in excess of $300,000 would accrue interest at 20% per annum. Each Convertible Note will mature on the first anniversary of issuance of such Convertible Note. The Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Convertible Note, at a conversion price equal to the greater of (i) the Floor Price (as defined in the applicable Convertible Note), which Floor Price shall not be adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, or other similar transactions, and (ii) an amount representing a 20% discount to the Company’s lowest VWAP (as defined in the applicable Convertible Note) on any trading day during the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion.

PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS FOR THE 2027 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To be eligible for inclusion, shareholder proposals (other than nominees for directors) must be received at the Company’s principal executive office, at TurnOnGreen, Inc., 2030 Ringwood Ave., San Jose, CA 95131, Attention: Corporate Secretary, no later than April 16, 2027 (120 days before the anniversary of this year’s mailing date).
A shareholder’s notice to the Secretary must set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting of shareholders: (i) a description in reasonable detail of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting of shareholders and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting of shareholders; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; (iii) such information regarding each director nominee or each matter of business to be proposed by such shareholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC had the nominee been nominated, or intended to be nominated, or the matter been proposed, or intended to be proposed, by the Board; (iv) if applicable, the consent of each nominee to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as director of the Company if so elected; (v) the class and number of shares of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by the shareholder proposing such business and by the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (vi) any material interest of such shareholder proposing such business and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made in such business.
Shareholder proposals intended to be presented at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders must be received by the Company no later than reasonable time in advance of the date of the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders. Unless the Company changes the date of its 2027 annual meeting of shareholders more than 30 days from the anniversary of this year’s meeting, the deadline for submitting shareholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders (pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) is the date that is 120 calendar days before the anniversary of this year’s mailing date (or before April 16, 2027, with respect to the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders). Proposals should be addressed to TurnOnGreen, Inc., 2030 Ringwood Ave., San Jose, CA 95131, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Shareholder proposals submitted after such date will be considered untimely and will not be considered for inclusion in the Company’s 2027 proxy statement. If the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Meeting, then the deadline will change to a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials for the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders.
For any proposal that is not submitted for inclusion in next year’s proxy statement (as described in the preceding paragraph) but is instead sought to be presented directly at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders, the federal securities laws and the Company’s Bylaws require shareholders to give advance notice of such proposals to the Company.

Any such notice must be provided to TurnOnGreen, Inc., 2030 Ringwood Ave., San Jose, CA 95131, Attention: Corporate Secretary. If a shareholder fails to provide timely notice of a proposal to be presented at the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders, the chairman of the meeting will declare it out of order and disregard any such matter. If the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of shareholders is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Meeting, then the deadline will change to a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials for the 2027 annual meeting of shareholders.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board knows of no business to be brought before the Meeting other than as set forth above. If other matters properly come before the shareholders at the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named on the proxy to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in accordance with their judgment.
