If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote your shares in the following ways:

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation, and that are not revoked, will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via Internet. You may specify whether your shares should be voted for or “withheld” for each nominee for director, and whether your shares should be voted for, against or abstain with respect to each of the other proposals. Except as set forth below, if you properly submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as noted below. The Board has appointed Martin Kay, to serve as the proxy for the Annual Meeting. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer, or you have stock certificates, you may vote:

1.	By Internet. The website address for Internet voting is www.netcapital.vote. Please click “Vote Your Proxy” and enter your control number.

2.	By Email. Mark, date, sign and email the Proxy Card to proxy@equitystock.com, ATTN: Shareholder Services.

3.	By mail. Mark, date, sign and mail promptly the Proxy Card, to Equity Stock Transfer at 237 W 37^th St. Suite 602 New York, NY 10018, ATTN: Shareholder Services.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” your bank, broker or other nominee should provide to you a request for voting instructions along with the Company’s proxy solicitation materials. By completing the voting instruction card, you may direct your nominee how to vote your shares. Alternatively, if you want to vote your shares during the Annual Meeting, you must contact your nominee directly in order to obtain a proxy issued to you by your nominee holder. Note that a broker letter that identifies you as a shareholder is not the same as a nominee-issued proxy. If you fail to present a nominee-issued proxy to proxy@equitystock.com by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 23, 2024, you will not be able to vote your nominee held shares during the Annual Meeting.

-8-

Q:	What is a proxy?

A:	A proxy is a person you appoint to vote on your behalf. By using any of the methods discussed above, you will be appointing as your proxy Martin Kay, our Chief Executive Officer. He may act on your behalf, and will have the authority to appoint a substitute to act as proxy. Whether or not you expect to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, we request that you please use the means available to you to vote by proxy so as to ensure that your shares of common stock may be voted.

Q:	How Will my Shares be Voted if I Give No Specific Instruction?

A:	We must vote your shares as you have instructed. If there is a matter on which a shareholder of record has given no specific instruction but has authorized us generally to vote the shares, they will be voted: Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote: “FOR” the election of our Board’s director nominees (Proposal 1); “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Fruci as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025 (Proposal 2); “FOR” the approval of the Say on Pay Proposal (Proposal 3); for “THREE YEARS” the approval of the Say When on Pay Proposal (Proposal 4); “FOR” the Bylaw Proposal (Proposal 5); “FOR” the Charter Proposal (Proposal 6); “FOR” the approval of the Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal (Proposal 7); and “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal (Proposal 8). This authorization would exist, for example, if a shareholder of record merely signs, dates and returns the proxy card but does not indicate how its shares are to be voted on one or more proposals. If other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting and you do not provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the proxies.

Q:	What if I want to change my vote or revoke my proxy?

A:	If your shares are registered directly in your name, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting. To do so, you must do one of the following:

	1.	Vote over the Internet as instructed above. Only your latest Internet vote is counted. You may not revoke or change your vote over the Internet after 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 23, 2024.

	2.	Sign a new proxy and submit it by mail to Equity Stock Transfer at 237 W 37th St. Suite 602 New York, NY 10018 ATTN: Shareholder Services, who must receive the proxy card no later than September 23, 2024. Only your latest dated proxy will be counted.

	3.	Virtually attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically at the meeting. Virtually attending the Annual Meeting alone will not revoke your Internet vote or proxy submitted by mail, as the case may be.

	4.	Give our Corporate Secretary written notice before or at the Annual Meeting that you want to revoke your proxy.

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may submit new voting instructions with a later date by contacting your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee. You may also vote electronically at the Annual Meeting, which will have the effect of revoking any previously submitted voting instructions, if you obtain a broker’s legal proxy as described in the answer to the question “How do I vote my shares?” above.

Q:	What is a quorum?

A:	The holders of more than 50% of the 579,445 shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date, either present or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct the Annual Meeting. If you choose to have your shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present by attendance at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy, the shareholders present by attendance at the meeting or by proxy may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present.

-9-

What is a Broker Non-Vote?

A “broker non-vote” occurs when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a proposal because (1) the broker has not received voting instructions from the shareholder who beneficially owns the shares and (2) the broker lacks the authority to vote the shares at their discretion. Broker non-votes will not be included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the “non-discretionary” proposals and, therefore, will have no effect on such proposals.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. However, under current New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules and interpretations that govern broker non-votes:

(i) Proposal No. 1 for Election of Directors is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal;

(ii) Proposal No. 2 for the Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is considered a discretionary matter and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal;

(iii) Proposal No. 3 for the Say on Pay Proposal is considered is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will not be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal; and

(iv) Proposal No.4 for the Say When on Pay Proposal is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will not be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal; and

(v) Proposal No. 5 for the Bylaw Proposal is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will not be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal; and

(vi) Proposal No. 6 for the Charter Proposal is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will not be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal; and

(vii) Proposal No. 7 for the Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal is considered a non-discretionary matter and a broker will not be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal; and

(viii) Proposal No. 8 for the Adjournment Proposal is considered a discretionary matter, and a broker will be permitted to exercise its discretion to vote uninstructed shares of the proposal.

-10-

Q:	What vote is required to approve each matter and how are votes counted?

A:	The table below summarizes the proposal that will be voted on, the vote required to approve the proposal and how votes are counted:

Proposal	Votes Required	Voting Options	Impact of “Abstain” Votes	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed
Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors	Plurality of the votes cast (the five directors receiving the most “FOR” votes).	“FOR” “WITHHOLD”	None ⁽¹⁾	Yes⁽³⁾

Proposal No. 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) at the 2024 Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon.	“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”	None ⁽²⁾	Yes⁽⁴⁾

Proposal No. 3: Say on Pay Proposal	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) at the 2024 Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon	“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”	None ⁽²⁾	No⁽³⁾

Proposal No. 4: Say When on Pay Proposal	The frequency that receives the highest number of votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2024 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon shall be approved.	“ONE YEAR” “TWO YEARS” “ABSTAIN”	None ⁽²⁾	No⁽³⁾

Proposal No. 5: Bylaw Proposal	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.	“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”	⁽⁵⁾	No⁽³⁾

Proposal No. 6: Charter Proposal	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) at the 2024 Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon.	“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”	None ⁽²⁾	No⁽³⁾

Proposal No. 7: Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) at the 2024 Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon.	“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”	None ⁽²⁾	No⁽³⁾

Proposal No. 8: Adjournment Proposal	The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively (excluding abstentions) at the 2024 Annual Meeting by the holders entitled to vote thereon.	“FOR” “AGAINST” “ABSTAIN”	None ⁽²⁾	Yes⁽⁴⁾

	(1)	Votes that are “withheld” will have the same effect as an abstention and will not count as a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director, because directors are elected by plurality voting.

	(2)	A vote marked as an “Abstention” is not considered a vote cast and will, therefore, not affect the outcome of this proposal.

	(3)	As this proposal is considered a non-discretionary matter, brokers are not permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

	(4)	As this proposal is considered a discretionary matter, brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

	(5)	Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal.

Q:	Do the directors and officers of the Company have an interest in the outcome of the matters to be voted on?

A:	Directors and executive officers, who, as of the Record Date, had beneficial ownership (or had the right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty days following the Record Date) of approximately 6.77% of our outstanding common stock and are expected to vote in favor of the nominees, the ratification of Fruci, the Say on Pay Proposal, the Say When on Pay Proposal, the Bylaw Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal

-11-

Q:	Who will count the votes?

A:	A representative of Equity Stock Transfer, will serve as our inspector of elections and will count the votes cast by proxy and the votes cast in person at the Annual Meeting.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

Non-Employee Director Compensation

We have not paid any cash compensation to our non-employee directors in their capacity as such.

We did not pay our three independent board members any compensation during the year ended December 31, 2024.

On April 25, 2023, we granted to each of our three current independent board members, options to purchase 286 shares of common stock under the 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan which will be exercisable at a per share exercise price of $98.00, that was out-of-the-money at time of issuance and expires ten years after the date of grant.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Our current director compensation program went into effect as of February 9, 2022, and is designed to align our director compensation program with the long-term interests of our stockholders by implementing a program comprised of equity compensation. The directors do not receive cash compensation as part of the director compensation program. We previously had no director compensation program.

In setting director compensation, the Company considers the amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company as well as the skill level and experience required by our board of directors. The Company also considers board compensation practices at similarly situated companies, while keeping in mind the compensation philosophy of the Company and the stockholders’ interests. The directors also receive reimbursement for expenses, including reasonable travel expenses to attend board and committee meetings, reasonable outside seminar expenses, and other special board related expenses.

We did not pay our three independent board members any compensation during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Board of Directors and Committees

Our Board has three standing Nasdaq compliance committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance.

●

attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example where it is a request for information about our Company or it is a stock related matter; or

●

not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or if it is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate.

Our Board (and any individual director to whom the communication was specifically addressed) will determine what further steps are appropriate depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applicable to our directors, officers and employees, in accordance with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and the Nasdaq listing rules.

Limitation of liability and indemnification matters

Our articles of incorporation contain provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by Utah law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, unless the director engaged in gross negligence, willful misconduct or intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders, or an intentional violation of criminal law.

We have entered and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our Board. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these provisions in our articles of incorporation and the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions included in our articles of incorporation may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities (“10% Shareholders”), to file with the Commission initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Officers, directors and 10% Shareholders are required by Commission regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To our knowledge, based solely upon a review of Form 3, 4, and 5 filed with the SEC during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, we believe that, our directors, executive officers, and greater than 10% Shareholders have complied with all applicable filing requirements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

Anti-hedging

We currently have a policy that applies to all employees, officers, directors and consultants, and outlines the measures and policies implemented in order to prevent insider trading. These controls are designed to ensure compliance with insider trading laws and regulations, protect investors, and maintain the integrity of the trading process on our platform. They involve a combination of preventative measures, such as pre-trade clearance and quiet period restrictions, along with detective controls like ongoing surveillance and monitoring of trading activities.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently consists of five directors, and their terms will expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders each year and hold office until their resignation or removal or their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Martin Kay, Cecilia Lenk, Steven Geary, Avi Liss and Arnold Scott have each been nominated to serve as directors and have agreed to stand for election. If the nominees are elected at the 2024 Annual Meeting, then each nominee will serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified.

-17-

Shares represented by executed proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld, for the election of each of the three nominees named below.

In the event that Ms. Kraysler’s employment is terminated by us for any reason other than “cause” or by Ms. Kraysler for “good reason,” then we will have no claims to the 20,000 and 200,000 shares of common stock underlying the stock option grant (and all unvested options under such grant shall immediately and fully vest) issued to Ms. Kraysler in February 2022 and January 2023, respectively.

The following table sets forth quantitative information with respect to potential payments to be made to Ms. Kraysler upon termination in various circumstances. The potential payments are based on the terms of each of the employment agreements discussed above. For a more detailed description of Ms. Kraysler’s employment agreement, see the “Employment Agreements” section above.

Represents the number of unvested options at April 30, 2023. Ms. Kraysler’s options vest equally over a 48-month period. At April 30, 2024, there were 21 months remaining in her vesting schedule for the options granted in February 2022 and 32 months remaining in her vesting schedule for the options granted in January 2023. The potential payment of shares subject to Ms. Kraysler’s unvested options will reduce every month as her options vest and the value of her unvested options will be based on our market price at such time.

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation and certain financial performance metrics. The disclosure included in this section is prescribed by SEC rules and does not necessarily align with how we or the compensation committee view the link between financial performance and the compensation actually received or realized by our named executive officers. All information provided above under the “Pay Versus Performance” heading will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference.

The table below presents information on the compensation of CEO and other named executive officers in comparison to certain performance metrics for 2024, 2023 and 2022. Martin Kay has been our CEO since January 3, 2023 and Cecilia Lenk was CEO for all of 2022 and through January 3, 2023. These metrics are not those that the compensation committee uses when setting executive compensation. The use of the term Compensation Actually Paid (CAP) is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, and under such rules, CAP was calculated by adjusting the Summary Compensation Table, or SCT. Total values for the applicable year as described in the footnotes to the table.

(1) 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. On January 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the Netcapital Inc., 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”), subject to the approval of the 2023 Plan by the Company’s stockholders. The total number of Shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 2023 Plan is (i) 28,572 Shares of Common Stock plus (ii) an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning with May 1, 2024 and ending with the last May 1 during the initial ten-year term of the 2023 Plan, equal to the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the Shares of Common Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis, which shall include Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding securities or rights convertible into or exercisable for Shares of Common Stock, including without limitation, preferred stock, warrants and employee options to purchase any Shares of Common Stock) on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year and (B) such lesser number of Shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board; provided, that, Shares of Common Stock issued under the 2023 Plan with respect to an Exempt Award shall not count against such share limit. No more than 28,572 Shares, and as increased on an annual basis, on the first day of each calendar year beginning with May 1, 2024 and ending with the last May 1 during the initial ten-year term of the Plan, by the lesser of (A) five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding (on an as-converted basis, which shall include Shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of all outstanding securities or rights convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, including without limitation, preferred stock, warrants and employee options to purchase any shares of Common Stock) on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year; (B) 300,000 shares of Common Stock, and (C) such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Board, shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of ISOs. As of April 30, 2024, we had awarded an aggregate of 27,857 options to purchase shares of common stock, 836 options have been forfeited and there remain 1,551 shares for grant under the 2023 Plan. On May 1, 2024, pursuant to the annual increase provision described above, the amount reserved for issuance under the Plan increased by 45,058 shares based on the fully diluted shares outstanding as of April 30, 2024, or 46,610 shares in the aggregate

-25-

Administration. The 2023 Plan will be administered by the Board or a committee to which the Board delegates such responsibility (the “Administrator”). The 2023 Plan will be administered by the Administrator in accordance with Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Administrator may interpret the 2023 Plan and may prescribe, amend and rescind rules and make all other determinations necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2023 Plan. The 2023 Plan permits the Administrator to select the eligible recipients who will receive awards (“Awards”), to determine the terms and conditions of those awards, including but not limited to the exercise price or other purchase price of an award, the number of shares of common stock or cash or other property subject to an award, the term of an award and the vesting schedule applicable to an award, to determine the terms and conditions of written instruments evidencing such awards (an “Award Agreement”) and to amend the terms and conditions of outstanding awards.

Eligibility. Employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company or any of its affiliates of the Company will be eligible to receive Awards under the 2023 Plan, subject to certain limitations to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code. The participants in the 2023 Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from those individuals that qualify as eligible recipients.

Consideration for Awards. The purchase price for any Award granted under the 2023 Plan or the Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to any such Award, as applicable, may be paid by means of any lawful consideration as determined by the Administrator, including, without limitation, one or a combination of the following methods:

	●	services rendered by the recipient of such Award;

	●	cash, check payable to the order of the Company, or electronic funds transfer;

	●	notice and third party payment in such manner as may be authorized by the Administrator;

	●	the delivery of previously owned and fully vested Shares of Common Stock;

	●	by a reduction in the number of Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the Award; or

	●	subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a “cashless exercise” with a third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise facilitates) the purchase or exercise of Awards.

Awards. The 2023 Plan permits the grant of: (a) stock options, which may be intended as incentive stock options (“ISOs”) or as nonqualified stock options (options not meeting the requirements to qualify as ISOs); (b) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”); (c) restricted stock; (d) restricted stock units; (e) cash incentive awards; or (f) other awards, including: (i) stock bonuses, performance stock, performance units, dividend equivalents, or similar rights to purchase or acquire Shares, whether at a fixed or variable price or ratio related to the Common Stock, upon the passage of time, the occurrence of one or more events, or the satisfaction of performance criteria or other conditions, or any combination thereof; or (ii) any similar securities with a value derived from the value of or related to the Common Stock and/or returns thereon.

-26-

Adjustments. To the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of an Award or of the 2023 Plan, following a “Change in Capitalization”, such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. A “Change in Capitalization” means any of the following: (i) merger, consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization, spin-off, spin-out, repurchase or other reorganization or corporate transaction or event, (ii) special or extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock or other property), stock split, reverse stock split, share subdivision or consolidation, (iii) combination or exchange of shares or (iv) other change in corporate structure, which, in any such case, the Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, affects the Shares such that an adjustment would be appropriate.

Options. Options granted under the 2023 Plan shall be designated as nonqualified stock options or ISOs. Each participant (“Participant”) who is granted an option (“Option”) shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, containing such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion, including, among other things, the Exercise Price (as defined in the 2023 Plan) of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability of the Option, and whether the Option is intended to be an ISO or a nonqualified stock option (and in the event the Award Agreement has no such designation, the Option shall be a nonqualified stock option). The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. The Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion at the time of grant, but in no event shall the exercise price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of each Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date such Option is granted. The Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

Each Option shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of performance goals, as shall be determined by the Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement.

The Administrator may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. The Administrator shall have the authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time and under such circumstances as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the 2023 Plan, if an ISO is granted to a participant who owns Shares representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of Shares of the Company at the time of grant, its “parent corporation” (as such term is defined in Section 424(e) of the Code) or a subsidiary of the Company, the term of the ISO shall not exceed five (5) years from the time of grant of such ISO and the Exercise Price shall be at least one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. A Participant shall have no rights to dividends, dividend equivalents or distributions or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to an Option until the Participant has given written notice of the exercise thereof, and has paid in full for such Shares and has satisfied the requirements of the 2023 Plan.

Treatment of an Option upon termination of employment of a Participant shall be provided for by the Administrator in the Award Agreement. An Option shall be affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of absence, including unpaid and un-protected leaves of absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or other changes in the employment status or service status of a Participant, in the discretion of the Administrator.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator will be authorized to award SARs under the 2023 Plan. SARs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Administrator and reflected in the Award Agreement. A SAR is a contractual right that allows a participant to receive, in the form of either cash, Shares or any combination of cash and Shares, the appreciation, if any, in the value of a Share over a certain period of time. An option granted under the 2023 Plan may include SARs, and SARs may also be awarded to a participant independent of the grant of an option. SARs granted in connection with an option shall be subject to terms similar to the option corresponding to such SARs.

-27-

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units (RSUs). The Administrator will be authorized to award restricted stock or RSUs under the 2023 Plan. Awards of restricted stock and RSUs will be subject to the terms and conditions established by the Administrator at its sole discretion.

Other Stock-Based Awards. Other Stock-Based Awards may be issued under the 2023 Plan. Subject to the provisions of the 2023 Plan, the Administrator shall have sole and complete authority to determine the individuals to whom and the time or times at which such Other Stock-Based Awards shall be granted. An example of an Other Stock-Based Award is a performance bonus payable as Company Common Stock.

Change in Control. In the event that a change in control occurs, as defined in the 2023 Plan to include, among other things, the acquisition by a person of more than 50% of the voting power of the Company, the Administrator may, at its sole discretion, modify any unvested and un-exercisable portion of any Award to make it fully vested and exercisable.

Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend, alter or terminate the 2023 Plan at any time, but no amendment, alteration or termination shall be made that would impair the rights of a participant under any Award theretofore granted without such participant’s consent. The Board shall obtain approval of the Company’s stockholders for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of any rules of the stock exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or other applicable law.

(2) 2021 Equity Incentive Plan. In November 2021, our Board adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2021 Plan. An aggregate of 4,286 shares of our common stock is reserved for issuance and available for awards under the Plan, including incentive stock options granted under the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan administrator may grant awards to any employee, director, consultant or other person providing services to us or our affiliates. As of April 30, 2024, we had awarded an aggregate of 2,671 options to purchase shares of common stock to directors and there remain 1,615 shares for grant under the 2021 Plan.

The 2021 Plan is administered by our Board. The 2021 Plan administrator has the authority to determine, within the limits of the express provisions of the 2021 Plan, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, the nature, amount and terms of such awards and the objectives and conditions for earning such awards. Our Board may at any time amend or terminate the 2021 Plan, provided that no such action may be taken that adversely affects any rights or obligations with respect to any awards previously made under the 2021 Plan without the consent of the recipient. No awards may be made under the 2021 Plan after the tenth anniversary of its effective date.

Awards under the 2021 Plan may include incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards, stock bonuses and other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards.

Stock Options. The 2021 Plan administrator may grant to a participant options to purchase our common stock that qualify as incentive stock options for purposes of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (“incentive stock options”), options that do not qualify as incentive stock options (“non-qualified stock options”) or a combination thereof. The terms and conditions of stock option grants, including the quantity, price, vesting periods, and other conditions on exercise will be determined by the 2021 Plan administrator. The exercise price for stock options will be determined by the 2021 Plan administrator in its discretion, but non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of our company’s common stock on the date when the stock option is granted. Additionally, in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date the stock option is granted. Stock options must be exercised within a period fixed by the 2021 Plan administrator that may not exceed ten years from the date of grant, except that in the case of incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock on the date of grant, the exercise period may not exceed five years. At the 2021 Plan administrator’s discretion, payment for shares of common stock on the exercise of stock options may be made in cash, shares of our common stock held by the participant or in any other form of consideration acceptable to the 2021 Plan administrator (including one or more forms of “cashless” or “net” exercise).

-28-

Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2021 Plan administrator may grant to a participant an award of SARs, which entitles the participant to receive, upon its exercise, a payment equal to (i) the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the exercise date over the SAR exercise price, times (ii) the number of shares of common stock with respect to which the SAR is exercised. The exercise price for a SAR will be determined by the 2021 Plan administrator in its discretion; provided, however, that in no event shall the exercise price be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Units. The 2021 Plan administrator may award to a participant shares of common stock subject to specified restrictions (“restricted shares”). Restricted shares are subject to forfeiture if the participant does not meet certain conditions such as continued employment over a specified forfeiture period and/or the attainment of specified performance targets over the forfeiture period. The 2021 Plan administrator also may award to a participant units representing the right to receive shares of common stock in the future subject to the achievement of one or more goals relating to the completion of service by the participant and/or the achievement of performance or other objectives (“restricted units”). The terms and conditions of restricted share and restricted unit awards are determined by the 2021 Plan administrator.

Stock Bonuses. Stock bonuses may be granted as additional compensation for service or performance and may be settled in the form of common stock, cash or a combination thereof, and may be subject to restrictions, which may vest subject to continued service and/or the achievement of performance conditions.

Performance Awards. The 2021 Plan administrator may grant performance awards to participants under such terms and conditions as the 2021 Plan administrator deems appropriate. A performance award entitles a participant to receive a payment from us, the amount of which is based upon the attainment of predetermined performance targets over a specified award period. Performance awards may be paid in cash, shares of common stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the 2021 Plan administrator.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The 2021 Plan administrator may grant equity-based or equity-related awards, referred to as “other stock-based awards,” other than options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted units, or performance awards. The terms and conditions of each other stock-based award will be determined by the 2021 Plan administrator. Payment under any other stock-based awards will be made in common stock or cash, as determined by the 2021 Plan administrator.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our Common Stock as of the Record Date by:

●	each person whom we know beneficially owns more than 5% of any class of equity security;

●	each of our directors individually;

●	each of our named executive officers individually; and

●	all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to such securities. In addition, pursuant to such rules, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options or warrants held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date. We did not deem such shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the beneficial owners named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of our common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. The inclusion in the table below of any shares deemed beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares.

(2)	Jeff Easton, the managing member of Lind Global Partners II LLC, may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by Lind Global Fund II LP. The address of Lind Global Fund II LP is 444 Madison Ave, Floor 41 New York, NY 10022

(3)	Includes 64,311 shares of common stock underlying the Series A-1 Warrants to purchase 106,402 shares of common stock and excludes 42,091 shares underlying the Series A-1 Warrants under the Series A-1 Warrants to purchase 106,402 shares underlying the Series A-1 Warrants as the exercise of these warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Also excludes (i) Series A-3 Warrants to purchase 106,402 shares of common stock and (ii) Series A-4 Warrants to purchase 106,402 shares of Common Stock, as both the Series A-3 Warrants and Series A-4 Warrants (and the shares of common stock issuable thereunder) are subject to shareholder approval. Such Series A-3 Warrants and Series A-4 Warrants contain beneficial ownership limitations that prohibit the Lind Global Fund II LP from exercising any portion of such warrants if such exercise would result in the Lind Global Fund II LP owning a percentage of our outstanding common stock exceeding 9.99% after giving effect to the issuance of common stock in connection with the Lind Global Fund II LP’s exercise of any portion of such warrants. The final as-adjusted shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants set forth in this footnote will be determined based on the total shares of our common stock outstanding following consummation of the 1-for-70 reverse stock split, including additional shares of our common stock issued upon account of fractional shares resulting from such reverse stock split.

(4)	Includes (i) 1,441 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the Record Date, and (ii) 24,447 shares of common stock held by Netcapital Systems LLC, an entity that Jason Frishman is the President of and in such capacity has the right to vote and dispose of the securities held by such entity.

(5)	Includes 6,250 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the Record Date.

(6)	Includes (i) 3,567 shares of common stock and (ii) 154 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the Record Date.

(7)	Includes 107 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date.

(8)	Includes 1,441 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the Record Date.

(9)	Includes 202 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after the Record Date.

(10)	Includes 154 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: RATIFICATION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our audit committee has appointed Fruci as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2025 and our Board has directed that management submit the appointment of Fruci as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025 for ratification by the shareholders at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Representatives of Fruci are expected to be virtually present at the 2024 Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and be available to respond to appropriate questions. Fruci was appointed to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm in 2017.

Shareholder ratification of the appointment of Fruci as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required law. However, our Board is submitting the audit committee’s appointment of Fruci to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Independent Registered Public Accountant’s Fee

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm during the past two fiscal years.

	Fiscal 2024		Fiscal 2023
Audit fees	$	106,161	$	84,113

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, our board of directors has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the board of directors has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditor.

Prior to engagement of the independent auditor for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the board of directors for approval.

1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only the independent auditor can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters and reviews of our financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

2. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements.

3. Tax services include all services performed by the independent auditor’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

4. Other services are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. We generally do not request such services from the independent auditor.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: SAY ON PAY

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, the Company is asking its stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the principles, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, the following advisory resolution is submitted for stockholder vote at the annual meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Netcapital Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables regarding named executive officer compensation and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables.

Although the “say-on-pay” vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our named executive officer compensation program.

No Appraisal Rights

No appraisal rights are available under the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act or under our Articles of Incorporation, or our Bylaws, as amended, with respect to the Proposal No. 3.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors have a direct interest in in this proposal.

Required Vote of Shareholders

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal No. 3.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 3.

-33-

PROPOSAL NO. 4: SAY WHEN ON PAY

In Proposal 3 above, the Company is asking its stockholders to vote on a non-binding advisory resolution on named executive officer compensation and the Company will provide this type of advisory vote at least once every three years. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, in this Proposal 4, the Company is asking its stockholders to vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation.

The Board believes that an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is the most appropriate policy for the Company at this time, and recommends that stockholders vote for future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation to occur every three years. While our named executive officer compensation programs are designed to promote a long-term connection between pay and performance, and the Board recognizes that named executive officer compensation disclosures are made annually, the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission permit the Company to solicit this advisory vote only every three years and the Company believes that management time and attention is better served by soliciting this advisory vote only every three years.

Pursuant to this non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation, stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card or voting instruction: one year, two years, three years or abstain. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. The vote is non-binding on the Board. Nevertheless, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully review the voting results. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more or less frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

No Appraisal Rights

No appraisal rights are available under the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act or under our Articles of Incorporation, or our Bylaws, as amended, with respect to Proposal No. 4.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors have a direct interest in in this proposal.

Required Vote of Shareholders

The frequency that receives the highest number of votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2024 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon shall be approved under this Proposal No. 4

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote for “THREE YEARS” with respect to Proposal No. 4.

PROPOSAL NO. 5: THE BYLAW PROPOSAL

General

Our Board has unanimously adopted the form of amended and restated bylaws (the “Proposed Bylaws”) attached hereto as Appendix A, to replace the Company’s current bylaws, which, in the judgment of the Board, is necessary to, among other things (i) adequately address the needs of the Company; (ii) streamline the process by which the Company holds annual and special meetings of stockholders; and (iii) update the Bylaws so that they are in line with current industry standards for public companies.

The following table sets forth a summary of the principal proposed changes between existing bylaws (the “Bylaws”) and the Proposed Bylaws. This summary is qualified by reference to the complete text of the Proposed Bylaws, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Appendix A. All of our stockholders are encouraged to read the Proposed Bylaws in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. Please also see the below for a summary comparison of the principal differences between the Bylaws and the Proposed Bylaws.

	Existing Bylaws	Proposed Bylaws
Annual Meetings and Special Meetings of Stockholders	Under the existing Bylaws, (i) annual meetings of stockholders shall be held on the anniversary of the date of incorporation at one o’clock p.m.; (ii) special meetings included a reference to Delaware law; (iii) elected directors by a majority vote except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or the laws of the state (iii) provide that notice of any meeting be given not less than ten nor more than fifty days before the date of the meeting either personally or by mail; and (iv) contain unclear parameters for the conduct, timing and proposals that may be properly considered at a meeting of stockholders.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, we would enhance the existing procedural mechanics and require additional disclosures in connection with stockholder nominations of directors and submissions of stockholder proposals at stockholder meetings, including, without limitation, as follows: (i) to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or be mailed and received not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within twenty-five (25) days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the Annual Meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting was made, whichever first occurs; and (ii) provide that plurality voting will apply to the election of directors; (iii) provide that meetings of stockholders may only be called by the President of the Company, Board of Directors, or a Committee of the Board of Directors and (iv) provide that notice of any meeting be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting either mailed or electronically.

Record Date of Meetings of Stockholders	Under the existing Bylaws, The directors may close the stock transfer books for a stated period not to exceed fifty (50) days or fix in advance a record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or for any other purpose. If the stock transfer books are closed for determining stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting, they must be closed for at least ten (10) days immediately preceding the meeting.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, The Board may fix, in advance, a record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution, or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion, or exchange of stock, or for any other lawful action. The record date cannot precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and must not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting or action requiring the determination of stockholders. Additionally, if the Board does not fix a record date, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. For determining stockholders for any other purpose, the record date is at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating to it.

-35-

	Existing Bylaws	Proposed Bylaws
Date of Annual Meeting	Under the existing Bylaws, Annual Meetings are to be held annually one year from the date of incorporation, beginning with 1985, for the purpose of electing directors and other business.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, Annual Meetings will be held on a date and time designated by the Board of Directors, for electing directors and transacting other proper business.

Indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents	The existing Bylaws do not address the indemnification of Directors, Officers, Employees and Agents	Under the Proposed Bylaws, the Company will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by the URBCA, as well as any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer, or is or was a director or officer serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Nomination of Directors	The existing Bylaws do not address the requirements for nominating directors.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, a stockholder intending to nominate a person for election as a director must give timely notice in proper written form to the Secretary of the Company and meet the following requirements: For an Annual Meeting, not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting of Stockholders. For a Special Meeting called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the Special Meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the Special Meeting was made. The notice must include detailed information about both the nominee and the stockholder making the nomination, such as: (i) The name, age, business address, and residence address of the nominee, along with the principal occupation or employment of the nominee; (ii) the class or series and number of all shares of the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the nominee and the stockholder making the nomination; (iii) a description of all agreements, arrangements, or understandings between the nominee and any other persons in connection with the nomination; and (iv) a written consent of each nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected. Additionally, the stockholder providing the nomination notice is required to update and supplement the notice, if necessary, to ensure that the information provided is true and correct as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting or Special Meeting. Such updates and supplements must be delivered or mailed and received by the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting. If the chairman of the meeting determines that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the chairman can declare to the meeting that the nomination was defective and disregard such defective nomination.

-36-

	Existing Bylaws	Proposed Bylaws
Removal of Directors	Under the existing Bylaws, any or all of the directors may be removed for cause by vote of the stockholders or by action of the board. Directors may be removed without notice only by vote of the stockholders.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the combined voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Any director serving on a committee of the Board of Directors may be removed from such committee at any time by the Board of Directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors	Under the existing Bylaws, the board, by resolution, may designate from among its members an executive committee, each consisting of three or more directors. Each such committee shall serve at the pleasure of the board.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, the Board of Directors has the ability to designate one or more committees consisting of one or more directors of the Company. The Board of Directors has the authority to delegate to these committees any of the powers and authority of the board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, except for those specifically required by law to be exercised by the full board or the shareholders. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee. These alternates can replace any absent or disqualified member at any committee meeting. Committee members must meet any membership requirements set forth by applicable law and the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system where the Corporation’s securities are listed or quoted. Committees can hold regular and special meetings. Regular meetings can be held without notice if the time and place are determined by the board or the committee itself. Special meetings can be called by various officials within the Company, and notice must be given at least seventy-two (72) hours in advance for mail notices or twenty-four (24) hours for electronic or telephonic notices. A majority of committee members present constitutes a quorum for conducting business. Actions taken by a majority of members at a meeting where a quorum is present shall be the acts of the committee. Any action that could be taken at a committee meeting may also be taken without a meeting if all committee members consent in writing to the action. Committee members not physically present at a meeting may participate and be considered present in person if they join via electronic communication. The Proposed Bylaws allow for the board to establish additional governance and operational procedures for committees that may differ from those outlined in the bylaws, as long as they comply with applicable law.

Removal and Resignation of Officers	Under the existing Bylaws, any officer or agent elected or appointed by the directors may be removed by the directors whenever in their judgment the best interest of the Company would be served thereby, without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, (i) any officer elected by the Board may be removed, with or without cause, at any regular or special meeting of the Board by the affirmative vote of the majority of the directors in attendance where a quorum is present; and (ii) any officer may resign at any time by delivering written notice to the Company, and such resignation will be effective when the notice is delivered unless the notice provides a later effective date.

Electronic Participation at Meetings of Stockholders.	The existing Bylaws do not address the use of electronic participation at meetings of stockholders.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, stockholders and directors may participate in a meeting of the stockholders by any means of electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology permitted under the URBCA (including, without limitation, a telephone conference or similar method of communication by which all individuals participating in the meeting can hear each other) and utilized by the Company

Notice by Electronic Transmission	The existing Bylaws do not address notice by electronic transmission.	Under the Proposed Bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under any provision of the URBCA, or pursuant to the Company’s Charter, will be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given.

Amendments to the Bylaws	Under the existing Bylaws, the Bylaws may only be altered, amended or repealed by a vote of the stockholders representing a majority of all the shares issued and outstanding, at an annual stockholders’ meeting or at any special stockholders’ meeting when the proposed amendment has been set out in the notice of such meeting.	The Proposed Bylaws would clarify Article XII to the extent that the Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed at any meeting of the Board, provided notice of the proposed change was given in the notice of the meeting not less than two (2) days prior to the meeting; as well as, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least fifty (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company, voting together as a single class.

No Appraisal Rights

No appraisal rights are available under the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act or under our Articles of Incorporation, or our Bylaws, as amended, with respect to the Proposal No. 5.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors have a direct interest in in this proposal.

Required Vote of Shareholders

The affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve Proposal No. 5.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 5.

-37-

PROPOSAL NO. 6: THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

General

Our Board has unanimously adopted (i) a resolution approving an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to authorize (the “Preferred Stock Authorization”) 10,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and (ii) directing that the Preferred Stock Authorization be submitted to the stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.

If this proposal is approved, and the Preferred Stock is authorized, it may be issued, from time to time, as authorized by the Board in one or more series, in such numbers of shares, with such designations, powers, including voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as the Board determines. The powers, preferences, and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of each series of Preferred Stock, and any qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of a series may differ from those of any other series.

Our Board has determined that the Preferred Stock Authorization proposal is in the best interests of the Company and recommends approval by stockholders.

Potential Advantages of the Preferred Stock Authorization

Our Board has adopted the proposed amendment to provide maximum financial and strategic flexibility with respect to future financing transactions. Preferred Stock is commonly authorized by publicly traded companies and can be used as a preferred means of raising capital. In some circumstances, companies, including ours, have been required to issue senior classes of securities to raise capital, with the terms of those securities being negotiated and tailored to meet the needs of both investors and issuing companies. Such senior securities often include liquidation preferences and dividend rights, conversion privileges and other rights not found in Common Stock.

If the proposal is approved, and our Articles of Incorporation are amended, our Board would be able to issue the additional shares of authorized Preferred Stock with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, conversion or other special rights (if any) of such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions (if any) thereof, as the Board may in the future establish by resolution or resolutions and by filing articles of amendment pursuant to the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (a “Preferred Stock Designation”), from time to time, providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock. No vote of the holders of our Common Stock or Preferred Stock, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Articles of Incorporation or in a Preferred Stock Designation creating any series of Preferred Stock or, to the extent the Company chooses to comply with any limiting rules of any securities exchange or quotation system on which shares of our common or Preferred Stock are then listed or traded, will be a prerequisite to the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock.

Approval of the proposed amendment will not alter or modify the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Potential Disadvantages of the Preferred Stock Authorization

The authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock may generally be issued from time to time for such proper corporate purposes as may be determined by our Board or, as required by law or the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, with the approval and authorization of our stockholders. Our Board does not intend to solicit further stockholder approval prior to the issuance of shares of Preferred Stock, except as may be required by applicable law or by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market.

The possible future issuance of shares of our Preferred Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our Preferred Stock could affect our current stockholders in a number of ways. The issuance of new shares of Preferred Stock could cause immediate dilution of the ownership interests and the voting power of our existing stockholders. New issuances of Preferred Stock may also affect the number of dividends, if any, paid to such stockholders and may reduce the share of the proceeds that they would receive upon the future liquidation, if any, of the company.

-38-

In addition, the future issuance of shares of our Preferred Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our Preferred Stock could:

●	dilute the market price of our Common Stock, to the extent that the shares of Common Stock are issued and sold at prices below current trading prices, or, if the issuance consists of securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock, to the extent that the securities provide for the conversion or exercise into Common Stock at prices that could be below current trading prices of the Common Stock, which dilution, in each case, may increase the volatility and affect the market value of our trading securities;

●	dilute the earnings per share, if any, and book value per share of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock; and

●	make the payment of dividends on Common Stock, if any, potentially more expensive.

No specific shares of Preferred Stock are being designated at this time, and we do not currently have any plans to issue shares of Preferred Stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects

Although the proposed amendment is not motivated by anti-takeover concerns and is not considered by the Board to be an anti-takeover measure, the availability of authorized shares of Preferred Stock could enable the Board to issue shares defensively in response to a takeover attempt or to make an attempt to gain control of the Company more difficult or time-consuming. For example, Preferred Stock could be issued to purchasers who might side with management in opposing a takeover bid which the Board determines is not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, thus diluting the ownership and voting rights of the person seeking to obtain control of the Company. In certain circumstances, issuing Preferred Stock without further action by the stockholders may delay or prevent a change of control of the Company, may discourage bids for the Company’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock at a premium over the market price of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and may adversely affect the market price of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock. Thus, increasing the authorized Preferred Stock could render more difficult and less likely a hostile merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s stock, and the possible removal of the Company’s incumbent management. We are not aware of any proposed attempt to take over the Company or of any attempt to acquire a large block of our stock.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act (“URBCA”), the Company’s stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed amendment.

Procedure for Implementing the New Class of Preferred Stock

If this proposal is approved by our stockholders, our Board will cause the “Blank Check” Stock Authorization to be implemented by filing articles of amendment to our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Utah. The Preferred Stock Authorization will become effective on the date that it is filed.

Discretionary Authority of the Board to Abandon Preferred Stock Authorization

The Board reserves the right to abandon the Preferred Stock Authorization without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the articles of amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, even if the Authorization has been authorized by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. By voting in favor of the Authorization, you are expressly also authorizing our Board to determine not to proceed with, and abandon, the Preferred Stock Authorization if it should so decide.

Appendix Relating to the Preferred Stock Authorization

The text of the form of the articles of amendment relating to this proposal, which we would file with the Secretary of State of the State of Utah to effect the Preferred Stock Authorization, is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix B.

No Appraisal Rights

No appraisal rights are available under the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act or under our Articles of Incorporation, or our Bylaws, as amended, with respect to the Proposal No. 6.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors do not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in in this proposal.

Required Vote of Shareholders

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal No. 6.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 6.

PROPOSAL NO. 7: WARRANT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL PROPOSAL

On August 1, 2024, we effectuated a 1-for-70 reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests were rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of common stock. The conversion and/or exercise prices of our issued and outstanding convertible securities, including shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants have been adjusted accordingly. All information presented under this Proposal No. 7 have been retroactively restated to give effect to our 1-for-70 reverse split of our outstanding shares of common stock and unless otherwise indicated, all such amounts and corresponding exercise price data set forth under this Proposal No.7 have been adjusted to give effect to the reverse stock split.

Overview

We are asking shareholders to approve the issuance of the Common Warrants (as defined below), the Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below) and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants that were issued in connection with the warrant inducement transaction that closed on May 29, 2024 (the “Offering”) as contemplated by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Background Information

On May 24, 2024, we entered into inducement offer letter agreements (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain investors (the “Participating Holders”) that held certain outstanding Series A-2 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 204,572 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), originally issued to the Participating Holders on December 27, 2023 (the “Existing Warrants”). The Existing Warrants had an exercise price of $17.50 per share.

Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the Participating Holders agreed to exercise for cash the Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $10.85 per share in partial consideration for our agreement to issue in a private placement (x) new Series A-3 Common Stock purchase warrants (the “New Series A-3 Warrants”) to purchase up to 253,947 shares of Common Stock (the “New Series A-3 Warrant Shares”) and (y) new Series A-4 Common Stock Purchase Warrants (the “New Series A-4 Warrants” and, together with the New Series A-3 Warrants, the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to 253,947 shares of Common Stock (the “New Series A-4 Warrant Shares” and, together with the New Series A-3 Warrant Shares, the “New Warrant Shares”). The New Warrants have an exercise price of $8.74 per share. The New Warrants are exercisable beginning on the effective dates of stockholder approval of the issuance of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares (the “Initial Exercise Date”) with such warrants expiring on (i) the five year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date for the Series A-3 Warrants and (ii) the eighteen month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date for the Series A-4 Warrants.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC acted as placement agent (“Placement Agent”) in connection with the Offering. The Company also issued warrants to designees of the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 19,048 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $10.93.

The New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants require that we call and hold a meeting of our shareholders for the purpose of procuring approval for the Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Our stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCPL.” Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) provides that shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock), which equals 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance, at a price less than the lower of: (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement for the transaction. In determining whether an offering qualifies as a public offering, Nasdaq considers all relevant factors, including the extent of any discount to market price. In determining discount, Nasdaq generally attributes a value of $0.125 for each warrant offered with a share of common stock, which value is generally deemed to be a discount. In order to ensure that the Offering qualified as a public offering under Rule 5635 due to the value attributable to the Common Warrants, the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants provide that they may not be exercised, and therefore have no value, until shareholder approval of their exercise is obtained. See “— Reasons for Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal” below.

The following is a summary of the material features of the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Form of New Series A-3 Warrant; Form of New Series A-4 Warrant and Form of Placement Agent Warrant, copies of which are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendices C, D, and E.

New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants

Duration and Exercise Price

Each New Warrant has an exercise price equal to $8.74 per share. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $10.93 per share. The New Warrants are not exercisable until our shareholders approve the issuance of the New Warrants and the New Warrant Shares (the “Initial Exercise Date), and the New Warrants expire on the (i) 5-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date for the Series A-3 Warrants and (ii) the eighteen month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date for the Series A-4 Warrants. The Placement Agent Warrants are not exercisable until our shareholders approve the issuance of the Placement Agent Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant Shares and the Placement Agent Warrants expire on the five-year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date. The exercise price and number of New Warrant Shares and Placement Agent Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions, reorganizations, or similar events affecting the Common Stock and the exercise price.

Exercisability

The New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable (following shareholder approval), at the option of each holder, respectively, in whole or in part, by delivering a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise discussed below). A holder or Placement Agent Warrant Holder (together with their affiliates) may not exercise any portion of their New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants to the extent that the holder or Placement Agent Warrant Holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon prior notice from the holder or Placement Agent (or its to us, the holder may increase or decrease the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising their New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants, as applicable, up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, provided that any increase will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company.

Cashless Exercise

If, at the time a holder exercises its New Warrants, or a Placement Agent Warrant Holder exercises its Placement Agent Warrants, a registration statement registering the resale of the New Warrant Shares and Placement Agent Warrants Shares by the holder and the Placement Agent Warrant Holder, respectively, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is not then effective or available, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder or the Placement Agent Warrant Holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part), the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants.

-41-

Rights as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, or by virtue of the holder’s or Placement Agent Warrant Holder’s ownership of shares of Common Stock, such holder or Placement Agent Warrant Holder does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises such holder’s New Warrants or such Placement Agent Warrant Holder exercises such Placement Agent Warrants. The New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants provide that the holders of the New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant Holder have the right to participate in certain distributions or dividends paid on shares of Common Stock.

Fundamental Transactions

If at any time the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants are outstanding, we, either directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions, effects a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants), a holder of New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrant Holder is entitled to receive the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or of the Company if the we are the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable as a result of the Fundamental Transaction by such holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction. As an alternative, the holder or H.C. Wainwright may, at their option, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable fundamental transaction), cause us to purchase the unexercised portion of the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants from the holder or the Placement Agent Warrant Holder, respectively, by paying to the holder or the Placement Agent Warrant Holder, as applicable, an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants) of the remaining unexercised portion of the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction.

Waivers and Amendments

The New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants may be modified or amended, or the provisions of the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants waived, with the Company’s, the holder’s or the Placement Agent Warrant Holder’s (as applicable) written consent.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, a warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Common Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon the exercise of the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants. Rather, the number of shares of common stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the next whole share or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

Trading Market. There is no established trading market for the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants, and we do not expect such a market to develop. We do not intend to apply to list the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants will be extremely limited.

No Rights as a Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in the New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants or by virtue of the holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, such holder of New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises such holder’s New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants. The warrants will provide that the holders of the warrants have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our shares of common stock.

Amendments. The New Warrants or Placement Agent Warrants may be modified or amended with the written consent of the holder of such New Warrant or Placement Agent Warrants and us.

-42-

Description of Common Stock

The holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our Board is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of our common stock will have no preemptive rights.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Utah Law and Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

The provisions of Utah law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our Company. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging takeover bids. They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our Board. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Our articles of incorporation and our bylaws include several provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our management team, including the following:

	●	Board of directors’ vacancies. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and vacancies occurring in the board for any reason except the removal of directors without cause may be filled by a vote of the majority of directors then in office, although less than a quorum exists. Vacancies occurring by reason of the removal of directors without cause shall be filled by vote of the shareholders. A director elected to fill a vacancy caused by resignation, death or removal shall be elected to hold office for the unexpired term of his predecessor. In addition, the number of directors constituting our Board is permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by our Board. These provisions prevent a shareholder from increasing the size of our Board and then gaining control of our Board by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our Board but promotes continuity of management.

	●	Annual meeting of shareholders. Our bylaws provide that annual meetings of our shareholders may be called only by our president or any two directors, thus prohibiting a shareholder from calling a annual meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of our shareholders to force consideration of a proposal or for shareholders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

	●	No cumulative voting. The Utah Business Corporation Act provides that shareholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise. Our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting.

Reasons for Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal

As stated above, our stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NCPL.” Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) provides that shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in a transaction, other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by the Company of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock), which equals 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance, at a price less than the lower of: (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement for the transaction (the “Minimum Price”).

-43-

We structured our Offering as a public offering. However, in determining whether an offering qualifies as a public offering, Nasdaq considers all relevant factors, including the extent of any discount to market price. Issuance of deeply discounted securities in a transaction (including a registered underwritten or best-efforts offering with a placement agent) may result in such issuance not qualifying as a public offering for purposes of determining whether shareholder approval is required. Nasdaq guidance dictates that a discount to the Minimum Price in excess of 50% typically precludes a determination that such transaction is a public offering.

In determining discount, Nasdaq generally attributes a value of $0.125 for each warrant offered with a share of common stock, which value is generally deemed to be a discount. Thus, in order to ensure that the Offering qualified as a public offering under Rule 5635 due to the value attributable to the Common Warrants, the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants provide that they may not be exercised, and therefore have no value, until shareholder approval of their exercise is obtained.

As noted above, the issuance of up to 253,947 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Series A-3 Common Warrants, the issuance of up to 253,947 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Series A-4 Common Warrants, and the issuance of 19,048 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants (or the issuance of 526,942 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate upon full exercise of the Series A-3 Common Warrants, the Series A-4 Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants) are subject to the Warrant Shareholder Approval Proposal.

Potential Consequences if Proposal No. 7 is Not Approved

The Board is not seeking the approval of our shareholders to authorize our entry into or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Inducement Letters, as the Offering has already been completed and the New Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants have already been issued.

The failure of our shareholders to approve this Proposal No. 3 will mean that: (i) we cannot permit the exercise of the New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants and (ii) may incur substantial additional costs and expenses.

Each New Warrant has an initial exercise price of $8.74 per share. Accordingly, we would realize an aggregate of up to approximately $4.44 million in gross proceeds if all the New Warrants were exercised based on such value. In addition, each Placement Agent Warrant has an initial exercise price of $10.93 per share. Accordingly, we would receive an aggregate of up to approximately $208,195 in gross proceeds if all the Placement Agent Warrants were exercised based on such value. If the New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants cannot be exercised, we will not receive any such proceeds, which could adversely impact our ability to fund our operations.

In addition, in connection with the Offering and the issuance of New Warrants, we agreed to seek shareholder approval every 90 days until our shareholders approve the issuance of the shares underlying the New Warrants. We are required to seek such approval until such time as none of the New Warrants are outstanding which could result in us seeking such approval every 90 days for five years. The costs and expenses associated with seeking such approval could materially adversely impact our ability to execute our current business plan and fund our operations.

Potential Adverse Effects of the Approval of Proposal No. 7

If this Proposal No. 7 is approved, existing shareholders will suffer dilution in their ownership interests in the future upon the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants. Assuming the full exercise of the New Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants, an aggregate of 424,486 additional shares of common stock will be outstanding, and the ownership interest of our existing shareholders would be correspondingly reduced. In addition, the sale into the public market of these shares also could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

No Appraisal Rights

No appraisal rights are available under the Utah Revised Business Corporations Act or under our Articles of Incorporation, or our Bylaws, as amended, with respect to the Proposal No. 7.

Interests of Officers and Directors in this Proposal

Our officers and directors do not have any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in in this proposal.

Required Vote of Shareholders

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal No. 7.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 7.

-44-

PROPOSAL NO. 8: ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

At the Annual Meeting, we may ask our shareholders to vote on a proposal to adjourn the Annual Meeting if necessary or appropriate in the sole discretion of our Board, including to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting to approve any of the other proposals.

If at the Annual Meeting the number of shares authorized to vote present or represented by proxy and voting in favor of a proposal is insufficient to approve such proposal, then our Board may hold a vote on each proposal that has garnered sufficient votes, if any, and then move to adjourn the Annual Meeting as to the remaining proposals in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of those remaining proposals.

Alternatively, even if there are sufficient shares authorized to vote present or represented by proxy voting in favor of all of the proposals, our Board may hold a vote on the adjournment proposal if, in its sole discretion, it determines that it is necessary or appropriate for any reason to adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date and time. In that event, the Company will ask its shareholders to vote only upon the adjournment proposal and not any other proposal.

Any adjournment may be made without notice (if the adjournment is not for more than thirty days and a new record date is not fixed for the adjourned meeting), other than by an announcement made at the Annual Meeting of the time, date and place of the adjourned meeting.

Any adjournment of the Annual Meeting will allow our shareholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Annual Meeting as adjourned.

If we adjourn the Annual Meeting to a later date, we will transact the same business and, unless we must fix a new record date, only the shareholders who were eligible to vote at the original meeting will be permitted to vote at the adjourned meeting.

Required Vote of Stockholders

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to approve Proposal No. 8.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 8.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF
SHAREHOLDERS

In the event the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, shareholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our 2025 Annual Meeting must submit the proposal to us at our corporate headquarters no later than a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for our 2025 Annual Meeting.

Shareholders who intend to present a proposal at our 2025 Annual Meeting without inclusion of the proposal in our proxy materials are required to provide notice of such proposal to our Corporate Secretary so that such notice is received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices on or after June 29, 2025 but no later than July 29, 2025; provided, however, in the event that the 2025 Annual Meeting occurs on a date that is not within 25 days before or after the anniversary date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, notice of such proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary no later than the close of business on the 10^th day following the day on which such notice of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is mailed or public disclosure of the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is made, whichever first occurs.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board knows of no other business, which will be presented to the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, proxies in the enclosed form will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.

In the event you are able to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, at your request, we will cancel your previously submitted proxy.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

HOUSEHOLDING

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and other Annual Meeting materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a proxy statement or other Annual Meeting materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as householding, potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards.

If you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our proxy materials, you may write or call us at the address or phone number below to request delivery of a single copy of the notice and, if applicable, other proxy materials in the future. We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the proxy materials, as requested, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the proxy materials was delivered. If you hold stock as a record stockholder and prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy materials either now or in the future, please contact us at 1 Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02111, Attn: Secretary, or by phone at (781) 925-1700. If your stock is held through a brokerage firm or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy materials either now or in the future, please contact your brokerage firm or bank.

ANNUAL REPORT

Additional copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024 may be obtained without charge by writing to the Company at 1 Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02111, Attn: Secretary, or by phone at (781) 925-1700.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

SECTION 2. Power To Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this ARTICLE V and to the fullest extent permitted by the URBCA, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court in which such action or suit was brought deem proper.

SECTION 3. Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification under this Article VIII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as permitted by the URBCA and authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this ARTICLE V or Section 2 of this ARTICLE V, as the case may be. Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the specific case.

A-13

SECTION 4. Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination under Section 3 of this ARTICLE V, a person shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful, if such person’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Corporation or another enterprise. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this ARTICLE V or Section 2 of this ARTICLE V, as the case may be.

SECTION 5. Indemnification By a Court. Notwithstanding any contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this ARTICLE V, and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or officer may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Utah for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Section 1 of this ARTICLE V or Section 2 of this ARTICLE V. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 of this ARTICLE V or Section 2 of this ARTICLE V, as the case may be. Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this ARTICLE V nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

SECTION 6. Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article V. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

SECTION 7. Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the persons specified in Section 1 of this ARTICLE V and Section 2 of this ARTICLE V shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article VIII shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in Section 1 of this ARTICLE V or Section 2 of this ARTICLE V but whom the Corporation has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the URBCA, or otherwise.

SECTION 9. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article V, references to “the Corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

The term “another enterprise” as used in this Article V shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in this Article V.

SECTION 10. Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article V shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

SECTION 11. Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article V to the contrary, except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 of this ARTICLE V), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any director or officer (or his or her heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives) or advance expenses in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or consented to by the Board of Directors.

b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $8.74¹, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

¹Adjusted to give effect to the 1-for-70 reverse split of our outstanding common stock effectuated on August 1, 2024.

C-3

c) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) =	as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) =	the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) =	the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).

d) Mechanics of Exercise.

i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third (3^rd) Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days (including no Trading Days if the settlement date is the trade date), on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

C-4

ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.

iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.

C-5

vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61^st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

C-6

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

C-7

d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or 50% or more of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or any Successor Entity (as defined below) shall, at the Holder’s option, exercisable at any time concurrently with, or within 30 days after, the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction (or, if later, the date of the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction), purchase this Warrant from the Holder by paying to the Holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined below) of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction; provided, however, that, if the Fundamental Transaction is not within the Company’s control, including not approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, the Holder shall only be entitled to receive from the Company or any Successor Entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of this Warrant, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Fundamental Transaction, whether that consideration be in the form of cash, stock or any combination thereof, or whether the holders of Common Stock are given the choice to receive from among alternative forms of consideration in connection with the Fundamental Transaction; provided, further, that if holders of Common Stock of the Company are not offered or paid any consideration in such Fundamental Transaction, such holders of Common Stock will be deemed to have received common stock of the Successor Entity (which Entity may be the Company following such Fundamental Transaction) in such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction for pricing purposes and reflecting (A) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date, (B) an expected volatility equal to the greater of (1) the 30 day volatility, (2) the 100 day volatility or (3) the 365 day volatility, each of clauses (1)-(3) as obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg (determined utilizing a 365 day annualization factor) as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction, (C) the underlying price per share used in such calculation shall be the highest VWAP during the period beginning on the Trading Day immediately preceding the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction (or the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, if earlier) and ending on the Trading Day of the Holder’s request pursuant to this Section 3(d) and (D) a remaining option time equal to the time between the date of the public announcement of the applicable contemplated Fundamental Transaction and the Termination Date and (E) a zero cost of borrow. The payment of the Black Scholes Value will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds (or such other consideration) within the later of (i) five Business Days of the Holder’s election and (ii) the date of consummation of the Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.

C-8

e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

f) Notice to Holder.

i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

g) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Trading Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.

a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.

C-9

c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, provides to the Company an opinion of counsel, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the transfer of this Warrant does not require registration under the Securities Act.

e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.

a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c) or to receive cash payments pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(iv) herein, in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.

b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.

c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Trading Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Trading Day.

d) Authorized Shares.

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is exercisable commencing on the Initial Exercise Date, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

C-10

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.

e) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Warrant (whether brought against a party hereto or their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Warrant and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action, suit or proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Warrant, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

C-11

f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.

g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Letter Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

h) Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including, without limitation, any Notice of Exercise, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at 1 Lincoln Street, Boston, MA 02111, Attention: Martin Kay, Chief Executive Officer, email address: martin@netcapital.com, or such other email address or address as the Company may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by e-mail, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the e-mail address or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Company. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (ii) the next Trading Day after the time of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via e-mail at the e-mail address set forth in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the second Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.

i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.

l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
