 EXPLANATORY NOTE

TSS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) to register 1,500,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable under the Registrant’s 2025 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2025 Plan”). On April 30, 2025, the Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a definitive proxy statement that included a proposal to adopt the 2025 Plan as a successor to the Registrant’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”) and to reserve 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under the 2025 Plan. The proposal to adopt the 2025 Plan was approved by the Registrant’s stockholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting on June 4, 2025 (the “Effective Date”). The number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2025 Plan is equal to (a) 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of unallocated shares of Common Stock available for issuance as of the Effective Date under the 2015 Plan.  In addition, any shares of Common Stock subject to awards under the 2015 Plan that are outstanding at the Effective Date and that subsequently (i) expire unexercised, are forfeited or otherwise terminate or are canceled without the delivery of shares of Common Stock or (ii) are surrendered or withheld from any award under the 2015 Plan to satisfy a participant’s income tax or other withholding obligations, in each case, will again become available to be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan.

In accordance with General Instruction E of Form S-8, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the contents of the prior registration statements on Form S-8 relating to the 2015 Plan, filed with the Commission on April 8, 2022 (File No. 333-264212) and on September 24, 2015 (File No. 333-207114), including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, except as modified, supplemented or superseded by the information set forth below.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant has adopted provisions in its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, that limit or eliminate the personal liability of the Registrant’s directors to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The DGCL expressly permits a corporation to provide that its directors will not be liable for monetary damages for a breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends); or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These limitations of liability do not generally affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

The Registrant’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, also obligates it to indemnify the Registrant’s directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, subject to limited exceptions. Section 145 of the DGCL provides, in effect, that any person made a party to any action by reason of the fact that he is or was our director, officer, employee or agent may and, in certain cases, must be indemnified by us against, in the case of a non-derivative action, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him as a result of such action, and in the case of a derivative action, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), if in either type of action he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. This indemnification does not apply, (i) in a derivative action, to matters as to which it is adjudged that the director, officer, employee or agent is liable to us, unless upon court order it is determined that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for expenses, and, (ii) in a non-derivative action, to any criminal proceeding in which such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Also, the Registrant may be required to advance expenses to its directors, officers, employees and agents in connection with legal proceedings, subject to limited exceptions.

The Registrant may enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements could require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements may also require the Registrant to advance any expenses incurred by the directors and officers as a result of any proceedings against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable terms.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed.
