Stockholders of record may submit proxies by completing, signing, dating, and mailing their proxy cards to the address provided on the proxy card.

If no instructions are indicated on such proxy card and you are a stockholder of record, shares represented by the proxy will be voted in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement, namely “FOR” the approval of Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment; and “FOR” the approvalissuance of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment.Company’s securities for the purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares.

A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters. Absent instructions from a beneficial owner, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for such beneficial owner on non-routine matters. We believe that the approval of the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation in Proposal One and Proposal Two areis a non-routine matters;matter; and, accordingly, brokers do not have authority to vote on such mattersproposal absent instructions from beneficial owners. Accordingly, if beneficial owners desire not to have their shares voted by a broker in a certain manner, they should give instructions to their brokers as to how to vote their shares. Any adjournment of the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of ProposalsProposal One, and Two, and any other matter that may properly be brought before the shareholders for a vote at the Special Meeting, will be approved if the votes cast “For” exceed the votes cast “Against.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not affect the outcome of the votes on these matters.

Broker non-votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

Pursuant to its Certificatethe SPA, two Convertible Notes (each, an “Initial Note” and collectively the “Initial Notes”) in an aggregate original principal amount of Incorporation currently$7,800,000 will be issued to the Holders in effect,reliance upon the exemption from securities registration under by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated under the 1933 Act, together with the issuance of warrants (the “Warrants” and, together with the Convertible Notes, the “Securities”) to acquire the Company’s Common Stock, as described below. Each Convertible Note has a face amount of $3,900,000, for which each Holder paid $3,250,000 in cash. Additional Convertible Notes in an aggregate original principal amount not to exceed $3,900,000 (the “Additional Convertible Notes”) may also be sold to the Holders under the SPA at a later date under certain circumstances. The Convertible Notes do not bear interest except upon the occurrence of an event of default.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5635 (d), stockholder 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 has authorized capitalof common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock), which equals 20% or more of Fifty Million (50,000,000)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 light of this rule, the SPA, the Convertible Notes and the Warrants provide that, the Convertible Notes may not be converted into and the Warrants may not be exercised to purchase shares of Common Stock unless the Company obtains the approval of which 33,208,911 shares areits stockholders. Accordingly, the Company agreed to hold a stockholder meeting, by no later than February 15, 2022 to approve resolutions authorizing the issuance of all of the Securities issuable pursuant to the Private Placement including the Additional Convertible Notes in compliance with the rules and regulations for the purposes of compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635.

Accordingly, at the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to approve the issuance of the Securities in the transactions contemplated by the SPA.

Use of Proceeds

The Company will use the proceeds from the sale of Convertible Notes, and if exercised the Additional Convertible Notes and exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes, but as covenanted in the SPA, not, directly or indirectly, for (i) the satisfaction of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) the redemption or repurchase of any securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iii) the settlement of any outstanding litigation. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Additional Convertible Notes if issued and outstanding or otherwise reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding convertible notesthe Warrants.

The Securities Purchase Agreement

The SPA contains certain representations and warrants. As a result,warranties, covenants and indemnities customary for similar transactions.

The Board believes the increase in shares available for future issuance is inpurposes of compliance with the best intereststockholder approval rules of the Company. It will provideNasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) (the “Stockholder Approval”). If such approval is not received by the Stockholder Approval Date, the Company with sufficient shares for future issuances of securitieswill be obligated to fund the operations and growth of the Company and will also provide the Company with greater flexibility to respond quickly to advantageous business opportunities since we may from time to time explore opportunities to make acquisitions through the use of stock. In order to have sufficient shares to issue for future transactions, the Company proposes to adopt an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by One Hundred Fifty Million (150,000,000) to Two Hundred Million (200,000,000) shares. The par value of our Common Stock will continue to be $0.001 per share.

The Board has unanimously approvedseek stockholder approval by May 15, 2022 and declared advisable the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment and recommends that our stockholders adopt and approve the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment. The foregoing description of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendmentevery six months thereafter until such approval is a summary and is subject to the full text of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A. The text of the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment may be altered to reflect any changes required by applicable law or otherwise deemed necessary or advisable by the Board.

If the Proposed Authorized Share Increase Amendment is approved by our stockholders, it will become effective immediately upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of State of Delaware, which we expect to file promptly after the Special Meeting. No further action on the part of stockholders will be required to implement the Authorized Share Increase.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE proposed authorized share increase amendmentobtained.

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

If the Reverse Stock Split proposal is approved by a majority of our stockholders, the Board will have the discretion to determine, as it deems to be in the best interest of our stockholders, the specific ratio to be used within the Range and the timing of the reverse stock split, which must occur at any time prior to the first anniversary of its approval by the stockholders. The Board may also, in its discretion, determine not to effect the reverse stock split if it concludes, subsequent to obtaining stockholder approval, that such action is not in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders. Our Board believes that the availability of a range of reverse stock split ratios will provide it with the flexibility to implement the reverse stock split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for us and our stockholders. In determining whether to implement the reverse split following the receipt of stockholder approval, our Board may consider, among other things, factors such as:

•        meeting certain listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market;

•        the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;Stockholder Approval.

Background and ReasonsCompany or any subsidiary of the Company; (xii) final judgment for the Reverse Stock Split

Our Board is submittingpayment of money aggregating in excess of $150,000 are rendered against the Reverse Stock Split to our stockholders for approval with the primary intent of increasing the per share trading price of our Common Stock to enhance our ability to meet the Continued Listing RequirementsCompany or any subsidiary of the NASDAQ Capital Market. Accordingly, for thisCompany and other reasons discussed below, we believe that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in our best interests and the best interestsnot bonded or discharged within 30 days; (xiii) failure of our stockholders.

On September 28, 2021, the Company receivedor any subsidiary to pay when due any debts in excess of $150,000 due to any third party; (xiv) breaches by the Company or any Subsidiary of any representations or warranties in the SPA or any document contemplated thereby; (xv) a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifyingfalse or inaccurate certification by the Company that foreither (A) the last 30 consecutive business days,“Equity Conditions” (as defined in the closing bid price forConvertible Notes) are satisfied, (B) there has been no “Equity Conditions Failure” (as defined in the Company’s common stock had been belowConvertible Notes), or (C) as to whether any Event of Default has occurred; (xvi) failure of the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuantCompany or any Subsidiary to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Rule 5550(a)(2)”). The Company considered all available options in order to regain compliancecomply with the requirementscovenants in the Convertible Note; any material adverse effect occurring; or (xvii) any Event of Rule 5550(a)(2)Default occurs under any other Convertible Note.

In connection with an Event of Default, the holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to redeem in cash any or all of the Convertible Notes. The redemption price will equal the greater of (i) 110% of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Note to be redeemed and determinedaccrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, and (ii) an amount equal to curemarket value of the share price non-compliance through a reverse stock split.

We believe that a delistingshares of ourthe Common Stock fromunderlying the NASDAQ Capital Market would negatively impact us because it would: (i) reduce the liquidity and market price of our Common Stock; (ii) reduce the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; and (iii) limit our ability offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets. We may not be able to meet the minimum share price requirement of Rule 5550(a)(2) unless we effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Company has until March 28, 2022 to regain complianceConvertible Notes, as determined in accordance with the minimum share price requirement. Stockholder approval isConvertible Notes. Upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default relating to the bankruptcy of the Company, whether occurring prior to or following the maturity date, the Company will be required to effectuateimmediately redeem the Convertible Notes, in cash, for an amount equal to 110% of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes, and accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by any holder or any other person or entity.

Change of Control

In connection with a reverse stock split, IfChange of Control (as defined in the Convertible Notes), the holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company effectuatesto redeem all or any portion of the Reverse Stock Split, it will regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) if the Company’sConvertible Notes. The redemption price per share will equal the greatest of (i) 110% of the outstanding principal of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, and accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges thereon, (ii) 110% of the market value of the shares of the Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes, as determined in accordance with the Convertible Notes, and (iii) 110% of the aggregate cash consideration that would have been payable in respect of the shares of the Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes, as determined in accordance with the Convertible Notes.

Other Corporate Events

The Company is not permitted to enter a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Convertible Notes), unless the successor entity assumes all of the obligations under the Convertible Notes pursuant to written agreements satisfactory to the holder of the Convertible Notes, and the successor entity is a publicly traded corporation whose shares of Common Stock promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and remains above that level forare quoted or listed on a national securities exchange. If at leastany time the following 30 trading days.

We believe thatCompany grants any Purchase Rights (as defined in the Reverse Stock Split may provide us and our stockholders with other potential benefits, such as improved marketability and liquidityConvertible Note) or makes any distribution of our common stock and increased interest and trading in our Common Stock Dueassets pro rata to the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocksall or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of our Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our Common Stock a more attractive and cost effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidityall of the holders of our common stock.

Reducing the numberany class of outstanding shares of ourits Common Stock, throughthen the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our business may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above.

If our Board determines that effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in our best interest, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of Stateholders of the State of Delaware. The amendmentConvertible Notes will set forthbe entitled to acquire the number of shares to be combined into one share of our common stock within the limits set forth in this proposal.

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

We cannot assure you that the proposed Reverse Stock Split will increase our stock price. We expect that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the per share market price of our Common Stock. However, the effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the per share market price of our Common Stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of reverse stock splits for other companies is varied, particularly since some investors may view a reverse stock split negatively. It is possible that the per share market price of our Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will not increase in the same proportion as the reduction inhad held the number of ourshares of the Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Convertible Notes (without taking into account any limitations on conversion) held by such holder immediately prior to the date as of which the record holders are to be determined for such grant of purchase rights or distributions. To the extent any such grant of rights or distribution would result in the holders exceeding the maximum percentage described in first paragraph of “Conversion Limitation and Exchange Cap” above, such rights shall be held in abeyance for up to ninety Trading Days

Installment Conversions and Redemptions

The Convertible Notes require that, on each Installment Date, the Company will pay an amount of the Convertible Note equal to the lesser of 1/13 of the principal amount and the outstanding principal amount of The Convertible Notes then outstanding on such Installment Date, less amounts already converted or paid (the “Installment Amount”), together with interest and late charges, if any, thereon, in shares of the Common Stock, subject to the satisfaction of customary equity conditions (including minimum price and volume thresholds) (an “Installment Conversion”).

If the Company satisfies such equity conditions (subject to the holder’s right to waive any such condition), the Company will convert the portion of the Installment Amount subject to such Installment Conversion into shares of its Common Stock at a price per share equal to the lower of lowest of (i) the conversion price then in effect, (ii) the greater of (x) the Floor Price and (y) 82% of the sum of (A) the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Installment Date, divided by (B) two (2). All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or other similar transaction during any such measuring period, but not less than the Floor Price. If the Company elects to effect and Installment Redemption (as defined in the Convertible Notes) or if an Installment Conversion is not permitted because certain equity conditions are not met, the Company must redeem the Installment Amount in cash at a price equal to 106% of its aggregate value.

The Holders of the Convertible Notes may elect to defer conversion until a subsequent Installment Date selected by each such Holder, or accelerate the conversion of future Installment Amounts to the current Installment Date, with the amount to be accelerated subject to certain restrictions as set forth in the Convertible Notes.

Notwithstanding the forgoing, and only during the period commencing on the Issuance Date and ending on the Stockholder Approval Date, the Company shall automatically be deemed to have elected to effect Installment Redemptions for all Installment Amounts.

Redemptions at Company Election

At any time after the later of (x) thirty (30) calendar days after the Applicable Date (as defined in the SPA) and (y) the date no Equity Conditions Failure exists, the Company has the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Notes at cash price equal to 200% of the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such redemption notice date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made for the redemption.

Additional Convertible Notes

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA, each Holder of a Convertible Note may, upon written notice to the Company, require the Company to participate in an Additional Closing (as defined in the SPA) for the purchase by such Holder, and the sale by the Company, of an Additional Convertible Note in an original principal amount of set forth opposite such holder’s name in the SPA, the aggregate principal amount of which for all Holders shall not exceed $3,900,000. The Additional Convertible Notes have the same terms as the Convertible Notes.

Covenants

The Company will be subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants regarding the incurrence of indebtedness, the existence of liens, the repayment of indebtedness, the payment of cash in respect of dividends, distributions or redemptions, and the transfer of assets, among other matters.

The Warrants

Expiration and Exercise

The Warrants, for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,800,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction), expire on the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date (the “Expiration Date”). Prior to or on the Expiration Date, the Warrants are exercisable at any time after the Stockholder Approval Date, in whole or in part, at the option of the holders.

The exercise price for the Warrants (subject to possible standard adjustments in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) is $0.71. The Warrants may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise.

Exercise Limitation and Exchange Cap

The holders of the Warrants will not have the right to convert any portion of the Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, such holder (together with certain related parties) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. A holder may from time to time increase this limit to 9.99%, provided that any such increase will not be effective until the 61 day after delivery of a notice to the Company of such increase.

In addition, unless the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders, the Company is prohibited from issuing any shares of Common Stock followingupon exercise of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, although we believeWarrants or otherwise pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split may enhanceterms of the marketabilityWarrants, if the issuance of oursuch shares of Common Stock to certain potential investors, we cannot assure you that, if implemented, our Common Stock will be more attractive to investors. Even if we implementwould exceed the Reverse Stock Split, the per share market price of our Common Stock may decrease due to factors unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split, including our future performance. If the Reverse Stock Split is consummated and the per share market price of our Common Stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of the Reverse Stock Split.

Even if our stockholders adopt and approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Reverse Stock Split is effected, there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the NASDAQ continued listing criteria.

The proposed Reverse Stock Split may decrease the liquidity of our Common Stock and result in higher transaction costs. The liquidity of our Common Stock may be negatively impacted by the Reverse Stock Split, given the reducedaggregate number of shares that willof Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of the Notes and the Warrants or otherwise without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Capital Market (the number of shares which may be outstandingissued without violating such rules and regulations, including rules related to the aggregate of offerings under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d)).

Events of Default

Events of Default are cross-referenced to the definition contained in the Convertible Notes (see summary of the Notes above in the paragraph “Events of Default”).

At any time after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly ifoccurrence of an Event of Default, at the per share market price does not increase asrequest of a resultholder, the Company or a successor entity (as the case may be) shall purchase the Warrant from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Event of Default Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants).

Other Corporate Events

The Company cannot enter into a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants), unless the successor entity assumes all of the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, ifobligations under the Reverse Stock SplitWarrants pursuant to written agreements satisfactory to the holder of the Warrants, and the successor entity is implemented, it will increase the number of our stockholders who own “odd lot” of fewer than 100a publicly traded corporation whose shares of Common Stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lotsStock are generally higher than the costs of transactions of more than 100 shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results of increasing the marketability of our Common Stock as described above.

Effective Time

The effective time of the Reverse Stock Split (the “Effective Time”), if approved by stockholders and implemented by the Board, will be the date and time set forth in the Certificate of Amendment that is filed with the Secretary of State of State of Delaware, will be determined at the discretion of the Board, and may occur as soon as the business day immediately following the Special Meeting, assuming the stockholders approve the Proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendment. However, the exact timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by the Board basedquoted or listed on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders, which must occur at any time prior to the first anniversary of its approval by the stockholders.

a national securities exchange. If at any time the Company grants any Purchase Rights (as defined in the Warrants) or makes any distribution of assets pro rata to all or substantially all of the holders of any class of its Common Stock, then the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to acquire the aggregate Purchase Rights or assets which such holder could have acquired if such holder had held the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of the Warrants held by such holder immediately prior to the filingdate as of which the record holders are to be determined for such grant of purchase rights or distributions. To the extent any such grant of rights or distribution would result in the holders exceeding the maximum percentage described in first paragraph of “Exercise Limitation and Exchange Cap” above, such rights shall be held in abeyance for up to ninety Trading Days.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company and the Holders entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file and maintain with the SEC a registration statement for resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, the Additional Convertible Notes (if issued) and exercise of the Warrants.

Placement Agent

FT Global Capital Inc. (“FT Global”) acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering, and received a cash fee of 8% of the aggregate amount of capital received by the Company in this offering, plus $50,000 in offering related expenses, and placement agent warrants at an initial exercise price of $0.71 per share, to purchase up to that number of shares of common stock equal to 8% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock placed in the offering, subject to adjustment based on the number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Notes placed in the offering. If additional Notes are purchased by the Holders under the SPA, FT Global will be entitled to additional placement agent warrants in connection with such additional Notes.

Reasons for Transaction and Effect on Current Stockholders

The Board in its sole discretion, determineshas determined that itthe sale of the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants and potentially the Additional Convertible Notes and the issuance of the Securities pursuant to the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants and potentially the Additional Convertible Notes, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to delay the filingbecause of the CertificateCompany’s need to obtain additional financing.

General

AfterThe issuance of the Effective Time,Securities pursuant to the SPA, the Convertible Notes, the Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants and potentially the Additional Convertible Notes will not affect the rights of the holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock, but such issuances will have a dilutive effect on the existing stockholders, including the voting power and economic rights of the existing stockholders. For example, if approved by stockholders and implemented(i) the Convertible Notes are converted in full (not assuming the purchase of Additional Convertible Notes by the Board, each stockholderInstitutional Investors) at the initial conversion price, (ii) the Warrants are exercised in full at the initial exercise price and (iii) the Placement Agent Warrants are exercised in full at the initial exercise price (not assuming the purchase of additional Convertible Notes by the Institutional Investors), approximately an additional 14,760,000 shares of the Common Stock will own a reducedbe issued. In the event the Institutional Investors purchase all of the Additional Convertible Notes in addition to the Convertible Notes and all of such Convertible Notes and Additional Convertible Notes are converted in full at the initial conversion price, the Warrants are exercised in full at the initial exercise price and all the Placement Agent Warrants are exercised in full assuming the purchase of the Additional Convertible Notes, approximately an additional 21,240,000 shares of the Common Stock will be issued. No assurance can be given that any shares of Common Stock will be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Notes or exercise of the Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants, or that additional shares of Common Stock will not be issued in the event that the conversion price of the Convertible Notes decreases pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, or that the number of shares of Common Stock. The principal effectStock issuable upon the exercise of the Reverse Stock Split will be to proportionately decrease the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock based on the reverse stock split ratio selected by the Board.

Other than as a result of the treatment of fractional shares as described above, voting rightsWarrants and other rights of the holders of our Common Stock willPlacement Agent Warrants does not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split, and the number of stockholders of record will not be affected by the Reverse Stock Split. If approved and implemented, the Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of our Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more

difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. The Board believes, however, that these potential effects are outweighed by the benefits of the Reverse Stock Split.

Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding.

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split that the Board elects to implement, our Common Stock would have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures, or CUSIP number, a number used to identify our Common Stock.

Our Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and we are subjectincrease pursuant to the periodic reporting and other requirementsterms of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange Act or the listing of our Common Stock on the NASDAQ. Following the Reverse Stock Split, our Common Stock will continue to be listed on the NASDAQ under the symbol “BIMI”, although it will be considered a new listing with a new CUSIP number.

Effect on Authorized Shares of Common Stock

The Reverse Stock Split Proposal will not change the number of authorized shares of Common Stock but will increase the number of authorized shares available for future issuance for corporate needs such as equity financing, retirement of outstanding indebtedness, stock splits and stock dividends, employee benefit plans, or other corporate purposes as may be deemed by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Effect on Par Value

The Proposed Reverse Stock Split Amendment will not affect the par value of our Common Stock, which will each remain at $0.001.

Reduction in Stated Capital

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, upon the Effective Time, the stated capital on our balance sheet attributable to our Common Stock, which consists of the par value per share of our Common Stock multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding, will be reduced in proportion to the size of the Reverse Stock Split, and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Our stockholders’ equity, in the aggregate, will remain unchanged.

Potential Anti-takeover Effects of a Reverse Stock Split

Implementation of the Reverse Stock Split in combination with the increase the number of authorized shares of common stock, if Proposal One is approved, will result in a significant increase in the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock vis-à-vis the outstanding shares of Common Stock. An increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of the Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of the Company with another company). The Reverse Stock Split proposal is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our Common Stock or obtain control of the Company, nor is it part of a plan by management to recommend a series of similar amendments to the Board and shareholders. Our Board has not considered the Reverse Stock Split to be a tool to be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device, and it has determined that a reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is appropriate.

Fractional Shares

To avoid the existence of fractional shares of Common Stock after the reverse stock split, fractional shares that would be created as a result of the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the next whole share, including fractional shares that are less than one half of one share.

Effect on Registered and Beneficial Stockholders

Upon a reverse stock split, we intend to treat stockholders holding Common Stock in “street name”, through a bank, broker or other nominee, in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding common stock in “street name.” However, these banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. If you hold your shares with a bank, broker or other nominee and if you have any questions in this regard, we encourage you to contact your bank, broker or nominee.

Effect on Registered Certificated Shares

Some of our registered stockholders hold all their shares in certificate form.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion describes certain material federal income tax considerations relating to the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, legislative history, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings and practices, all as amended and in effect on the date hereof. Any of these authorities could be repealed, overruled or modified at any time. Any such change could be retroactive and, accordingly, could cause the tax consequences to vary substantially from the consequences described herein. No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with respect to the matters discussed herein has been requested, and there is no assuranceEach Convertible Note provides that the IRS would agree with the conclusions set forthInstitutional Investor is prohibited from converting a Convertible Note, an Additional Convertible Note if issued and a Warrant and any payments of interest and principal in this discussion.

This discussion may not address certain federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their personal circumstances or to stockholders who may be subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws. This discussion also does not address any tax consequences under state, local or foreign laws.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT FOR THEM, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX LAWS, CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS AND ANY PENDING OR PROPOSED LEGISLATION.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to be a tax-free recapitalization to the Company and its stockholders, except for those stockholders who receive a whole shareshares of Common Stock will be held in lieu of a fractional share. Stockholders will not recognize any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a resultabeyance, to the extent the Institutional Investor would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or 9.99%, if the holder elects the higher threshold) of the Reverse Stock Split, except for those stockholders receiving a whole share of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share (as described below). The holding period forCompany’s outstanding shares of Common Stock after such conversion or payment. Unlike Nasdaq Rule 5635 and the reverse stock split will includecorresponding provisions of the holding periodSPA, the Convertible Notes and the Warrants, which limit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock before the reverse stock split, provided that suchCompany may issue to the Institutional Investors, this beneficial ownership limitation limits the number of shares the Institutional Investors may beneficially own at any one time. Consequently, the number of shares of Common Stock are heldthe Holder may beneficially own in compliance with the beneficial ownership limitation may increase over time as a capital asset at the Effective Time. The adjusted basisnumber of theoutstanding shares of Common Stock afterincreases over time. In addition, the reverse stock split will be the same as the adjusted basisInstitutional Investors may sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock beforethey receive under the reverse stock split, excludingConvertible Notes, permitting them to acquire additional shares in compliance with the basis of any fractional share.

A stockholder who receives a whole share of Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share generally may recognize gain in an amountbeneficial ownership limitation. We are not seeking shareholder approval to exceed the excess of the fair market value oflift such whole share over the fair market value of the fractional share to which the stockholder was otherwise entitled.ownership limitation.
