A majority of the shares of common stock issuedentitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, is necessary to constitute a quorum with respect to all matters presented. Proposal 1 will be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock.

Broker Non-Votes

 

Stockholders that own their shares in “street name”"street name" through a stock brokerage account or through a bank or nominee may attend the AnnualSpecial Meeting but may not grant a proxy or vote at the AnnualSpecial Meeting. Instead, the broker, bank or nominee is considered the record holder of those shares and those stockholders must instruct the record holder how they wish their shares to be voted. Stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share held, and do not have the right to cumulate their votes.

 

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy card with respect to shares held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in "street name"), but declines to vote on a particular matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include the election of directors, increases in authorized common stock for general corporate purposes and ratification of auditors. Non-routine matters include Proposal 1 and amendments to stock plans and issuance of additional securities. A broker “non-vote” will count as a vote against Proposal 1.

Revocability of Proxies

Any person giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. It may be revoked by filing with the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal executive offices, 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or it may be revoked by attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

Solicitation

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors. The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. The Company may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of common stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone or personal solicitation by directors, officers or other regular employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services.

Prior to the Annual Meeting, we will select one or more inspectors of election for the Annual Meeting. Such inspectors shall determine the number of shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive, count and tabulate ballots and votes and determine the results thereof. Abstentions will be considered as shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting but will not be counted as votes cast for or against any given matter, other than the Reverse Split Proposal. Abstentions will count as a vote against the Reverse Split Proposal, and will have no effect on the other proposals.

Broker “non-votes” occur when a broker, bank or other nominee who holds shares in “street name” for a beneficial owner does not have discretionary authority to vote on a matter and has not received instructions on how to vote from the beneficial owner of the shares. Under New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules, a broker does not have the discretion to vote on the Election of Directors Proposal, the Reverse Split Proposal, or the Say on Pay Proposal. As a result, any broker that is a member of the NYSE will not have the discretion to vote on the Election of Directors Proposal, the Reverse Split Proposal, or the Say on Pay Proposal. A broker "non-vote" will have no effect on the Election of Directors Proposal or on the Say on Pay Proposal. A broker "non-vote" will count as a vote against the Reverse Split Proposal.

Shares of common stock represented by a properly executed proxy received in time to permit its use at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated therein. If no instructions are indicated on a properly executed proxy, the shares of common stock represented by the proxy will be voted (a) FOR the election of all six nominees for director; (b) FOR the Auditor Ratification Proposal; (c) FOR the Reverse Split Proposal; (d) FOR the Say on Pay Proposal; and (e) FOR the authorization to act upon such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting, and any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. We do not anticipate that any of our nominees for director will be unavailable for election and we do not know of any other matters that may be brought before the Annual Meeting. In the event that any other matter should come before the Annual Meeting or any nominee is not available for election, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies not marked to the contrary with respect to such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

You are requested, regardless of the number of shares you hold, to sign the proxy and return it promptly in the enclosed envelope, or use the internet voting system as described in the enclosed proxy card.

Revocability of Proxies

If you grant a proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time until it is voted by:

delivering a notice of revocation to the attention of the Secretary, Rennova Health, Inc., 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401;

submitting a proxy with a later date prior to the Annual Meeting; or

appearing at the Annual Meeting, revoking the proxy and voting in person.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy that you submitted prior to the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies and will solicit proxies by mail. In addition, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, in person or by any other lawful means.

The Board of Directors will submit to the stockholders for their vote at the Annual Meeting a slate of directors comprising of six nominees, who are all currently directors.

Nominees

Our Bylaws provide that the number of directors may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, which number shall not be less than two. The number of directors is currently fixed at seven, and the Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at six at the effective time of the Annual Meeting. Our executive officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are elected by our Board of Directors annually.

Each director elected at the Annual Meeting will serve for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until a successor has been duly elected and qualified. Seamus Lagan, Dr. Paul Billings, Christopher E. Diamantis, Benjamin Frank, Michael L. Goldberg, and Robert Lee have been nominated as directors to be elected by the stockholders at this Annual Meeting, and proxies will be voted for all six nominees, absent contrary instructions. All nominees are currently directors of Rennova. The biographical information regarding the nominees for election to our Board of Directors, including the experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills that have caused the Company to currently determine that each such person should serve as a director of the Company, is set forth below under “Executive Officers and Directors.” No nominee is related to any other nominee to the Board of Directors.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” ALL NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

Executive Officers and Directors

Nominees for Director

Seamus Lagan, 47, was appointed Chief Executive Officer and President and a director of the Company on November 2, 2015 and as Chief Executive Officer and a director of Medytox Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Medytox”), effective September 15, 2014. Mr. Lagan was appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company upon the resignation of Jason Adams effective September 30, 2016. Mr. Lagan has been, either individually or through Alcimede LLC, a consultant to Medytox since May 2011. Mr. Lagan has been a director of Alcimede since its formation in 2007. Alcimede is a privately-held, Delaware limited liability company which provides various consulting services, including management, organization, and financial consulting services. Mr. Lagan also currently serves, through Alcimede, as chief executive officer of the following subsidiaries of the Company: Medytox Diagnostics, Inc. (since February 2012), and Health Technology Solutions, Inc. (since June 2011) and as president of Medical Billing Choices, Inc. (since July 2013). From September 2008 through May 2011, Mr. Lagan was a private investor. In 2008, TecEnergy UK Limited (“TEC”), a waste management and alternative energy company in England and Wales, of which Mr. Lagan served as a director, was placed into administration to protect it from bankruptcy. The relevant taxing authorities in the United Kingdom alleged that the directors reduced the debt of TEC to its creditors at the expense of tax liabilities to the taxing authorities. There were no other allegations of wrongdoing, but based on such allegations, the taxing authorities sought to have each of the directors of TEC banned from acting as a director in the United Kingdom for a three-year period. At the time of such action, Mr. Lagan had significant health issues and did not defend himself. As a result, Mr. Lagan was banned in his absence from acting as a director of a United Kingdom company from October 8, 2010 until October 2015 (In the Matter of TecEnergy UK Limited and in the Matter of the Company Directors Disqualifications Act of 1986 between the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and Seamus Lagan (Norwich County Court, UK, Claim No. 0NR00656)). Mr. Lagan graduated from Ballymena Technical College in Ireland in 1989.

Our Board believes that Mr. Lagan's experience as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and its subsidiaries provides us with highly valuable specific business, leadership and management experience.

Required Vote

Nominees are elected by a plurality of votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes for or against this proposal and will not be included in counting the number of votes necessary for approval of this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR EACH NOMINEE FOR DIRECTOR.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us, and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% stockholders during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 were timely filed, except for a Form 3 filing for each of Seamus Lagan and Alcimede LLC filing jointly, Christopher Diamantis, and Benjamin Frank, a Form 4 reporting one transaction for Thomas Mika, a Form 4 reporting four transactions for Clifford Baron, a Form 4 reporting four transactions for George Lundberg, and a Form 4 reporting four transactions for Smruti Vidwans.

Board Meetings and Committees

Our Board of Directors held five meetings during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Dr. Paul Billings, Benjamin Frank and Robert Lee is an “independent director” as defined under the Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Listing Rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market provide a list of disqualifying criteria for the independence determination. For example, under these rules, a director who is, or during the past three years was, employed by the company or by any parent or subsidiary of the company, other than prior employment as an interim chairman or interim chief executive officer, would not be considered independent. No director qualifies as independent unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a material relationship with the listed company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. During our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, no director attended less than 75% of the aggregate number of Board of Directors meetings held.

We encourage all of our directors to attend our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We anticipate that a Board of Directors meeting will be held immediately following our Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board of Directors has an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating/corporate governance committee. Each of these committees operates under a charter that has been previously approved by the board of directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The Board of Directors from time to time may establish other committees to facilitate the management of the Company and may change the composition and the responsibilities of the existing committees.

The table below summarizes the current membership of each of the three standing board committees of the Company.

The purpose of the audit committee of the Company is to review the Company's audited financial statements with management, review the performance of the Company's independent registered public accountants, approve audit fees and fees for the preparation of the Company's tax returns, review the Company's accounting policies and internal control procedures and consider and appoint the Company's independent registered public accountants. The audit committee has the authority to engage the services of outside experts and advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities.

The audit committee charter is available on the Company's website at www.rennovahealth.com by selecting “Investors” and then “Corporate Governance” from the available options.

The audit committee of the Company currently consists of Dr. Paul Billings, Robert Lee and Benjamin Frank. Dr. Paul Billings was appointed a member of the Audit Committee on November 30, 2016, and Christopher Diamantis resigned as a member of the Audit Committee on November 30, 2016.

Compensation Committee

The purpose of the compensation committee of the Company is to assist the Board of Directors of the Company in the discharge of its responsibilities with respect to employee compensation including the adoption, periodic review and oversight of the Company's compensation strategy, policies and plans. The compensation committee of the Company administers equity plans of the Company.

The compensation committee of the Company currently consists of Robert Lee, Dr. Paul Billings and Benjamin Frank. Robert Lee was appointed a member of the Compensation Committee on November 30, 2016.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

The purpose of the nominating/corporate governance committee of the Company is to oversee all aspects relating to corporate governance, including acting as an independent committee evaluating transactions between the Company and directors and officers. The nominating/corporate governance committee also assists the Board of Directors by identifying individuals qualified to become board members, recommending for selection by the Board of Directors the director nominees to stand for election at the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders and recommending to the board director nominees for each committee of the board.

8

When reviewing related party transactions, the nominating/corporate governance committee considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including:

·the commercial reasonableness of the terms;
·the benefit and perceived benefits, or lack thereof, to the Company;
·opportunity costs of alternate transactions; and
·the materiality and character of the related person's interest, and the actual or apparent conflict of interest of the related person.

The nominating/corporate governance committee will only approve or ratify a related party transaction when it determines that, upon consideration of all relevant information, the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and stockholders. No related party transactions will be consummated without the approval or ratification of the nominating/corporate governance committee and the disinterested members of the Board of Directors. Any directors interested in a related party transaction will recuse themselves from any vote relating to a related party transaction in which they have an interest.

The nominating/corporate governance committee has the authority to engage the services of outside experts and advisors as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its duties and responsibilities.

The nominating/corporate governance committee charter is available on the Company's website at www.rennovahealth.com by selecting “Investors” and then “Corporate Governance” from the available options.

The nominating/corporate governance committee of the Company currently consists of Benjamin Frank, Dr. Paul Billings and Robert Lee. Dr. Paul Billings was appointed a member of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee on November 30, 2016.

We will consider proposed nominees for election to our Board of Directors whose names are submitted to our Chief Executive Officer by stockholders; however, we do not have a formal process for that consideration. We have not to date adopted a formal process given the Company’s size and given the historically small number of proposed nominees. We believe it is desirable to be flexible and open as to whom the board of directors might consider for board membership. Generally, however, our board member selection criteria include: integrity; high level of education and/or business experience; broad-based business acumen; understanding of our business and industry; strategic thinking and willingness to share ideas; ability to work as a constructive member of a team for the benefit of stockholders; network of contacts; and diversity of experiences, expertise and background. Director nominees have normally been identified based upon suggestions by directors, management members and/or stockholders. Proposed nominees are not evaluated differently depending upon who has made the proposal. All of our board members will participate in the consideration of any proposed nominees. We have not to date paid any third party fees to assist in this process.

If a stockholder wishes to suggest a proposed name for consideration as a nominee for Board membership at an annual meeting, the name of that nominee and related personal and other information, as indicated in our Bylaws, should be forwarded to us, in care of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, at least 120 days before the annual meeting to assure time for meaningful consideration by our board of directors. That time frame is shortened when the annual meeting is scheduled for a date that varies more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the last annual meeting. See also “Stockholder Proposals” below for requirements for nominations for the next annual meeting.

Family Relationships amongst Directors and Executive Officers

There are no family relationships between the executive officers and directors.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors has no current policy regarding the need to separate or combine the offices of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our Board of Directors may review in the future whether a policy is appropriate for us. Recently, we have separated the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, although historically, such positions were held by one person. In the future, we may continue to separate such positions or combine them, based on our then assessment as to whether our then Chief Executive Officer is in the best position to fulfill the Chairman of the Board of Director’s responsibilities, including those related to identifying emerging issues facing us and our industry, and communicating essential information to our Board of Directors about our performance and strategies. Currently, we have not designated a Chairman of the Board or a lead independent director. We believe that our current leadership structure is appropriate based upon our size and characteristics, and the involvement of our independent directors. The Board of Directors as a whole monitors and considers policies to manage risk as part of its regular activities. The committees of the board focus on and manage specific forms of risk and report their activities to the Board of Directors. The audit committee is primarily responsible for the identification and review of financial risk. The compensation committee works to minimize risks associated with the executive compensation plans and stock benefit plans that it establishes. The nominating/corporate governance committee considers risks presented by changing law and regulation and recommend changes in governance and operations to comply.

Stockholder Communications to the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors does not have a formal process for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors. Due to the infrequency of stockholder communications to the Board of Directors, our Board of Directors does not believe that a formal process is necessary. Written communications to the Board of Directors, or to any member of the Board of Directors, may be sent to the Board of Directors, or the individual Board member, at the Company’s executive offices at 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, and the Company will promptly circulate such communications to all members of the Board of Directors (or to those particular directors to whom such communication is specifically addressed). Such communications will be screened to the extent necessary in order to ascertain the intended recipients or appropriate recipients among the members of the Board of Directors.

Code of Conduct

The Company has adopted a written code of conduct ("Code"), which Code is applicable to the Board of Directors and officers of the Company, including, but not limited to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Controller and all persons performing similar functions to the foregoing officers of the Company. We intend to post amendments to or waivers from the Code (to the extent applicable to our Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer or Controller, or persons performing similar functions) on our website atwww.rennovahealth.com. A copy of the Code will be provided to any person free of charge upon request by writing to Rennova Health, Inc., Attention: Secretary, 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401.

Agreements with Named Executive Officers

Seamus Lagan

Medytox and Seamus Lagan entered into a non-exclusive Consulting Agreement on May 25, 2011. Under the agreement, Mr. Lagan rendered management consulting and business advisory services and advised on marketing strategies. Medytox paid Mr. Lagan $15,000 per month. In connection with the consulting agreement, Mr. Lagan received approximately $65,000 in cash and was issued 1,300,000 shares of common stock of Medytox with a value of $13,000. This agreement was in effect through October 3, 2011, when it was replaced by a consulting agreement between Medytox and Alcimede LLC, which is controlled by Mr. Lagan. Under this new agreement, Alcimede agreed to assist Medytox by providing management as may be required by Medytox, assisting with Medytox 's capital structure and funding, completing acquisitions and funding, and structuring and securing financing. The term of the Alcimede agreement was from October 3, 2011 to December 31, 2013, with automatic renewals for an additional year unless one party delivered notice of nonrenewal. Medytox agreed to pay Alcimede a retainer of $20,000 a month and issued Alcimede options to purchase 200,000 shares of common stock of Medytox, exercisable at $3.00 per share through January 1, 2014, and an additional 200,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $6.00 per share through January 1, 2015. Medytox also reimbursed Alcimede's expenses.

14

Medytox and Alcimede entered into a revised Consulting Agreement as of October 1, 2012. This agreement replaced and superseded the prior Alcimede consulting agreement. This new agreement originally was for three years, and is now subject to annual renewals, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal. The retainer remained at $20,000 a month and Medytox continues to reimburse Alcimede for its expenses. The parties agreed to cancel the options issued pursuant to the prior agreement. Under the new agreement the Company issued Alcimede 4,500,000 shares of common stock of Medytox and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Medytox. In addition, Alcimede received options to purchase (i) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $2.50 per share through December 31, 2017, (ii) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $5.00 per share through December 31, 2017 and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $10.00 a share through December 31, 2022. On June 29, 2015, Alcimede exercised the option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox at an exercise price of $2.50 per share (See Related Party Transactions below for additional information). The parties agreed to cancel the remaining options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share in connection with the business combination on November 2, 2015. The share amounts and exercise prices in this paragraph are on a pre-split and pre-merger basis, as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2015.

Effective September 11, 2014 and in conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Lagan as our Chief Executive Officer, such consulting agreement with Alcimede was amended to provide for a monthly retainer of $31,250, and we agreed to provide Mr. Lagan with an automobile. 

Thomas R. Mika

The Company previously entered into an at-will employment agreement with Mr. Mika, which was amended and restated as of February 12, 2013. The employment agreement had an initial term of two years and was subject to annual automatic one-year extensions unless either party provided prior notice of its intention not to renew. Under the agreement, Mr. Mika’s annual base salary was initially set at $284,000 per year subject to review and potential increase in accordance with Company policy. The employment agreement also provided for an annual target bonus equal to 50% of Mr. Mika’s annual base salary payable upon achievement of targets and other objectives set by the Board and for annual long-term incentive awards with a fair market value on the date of grant equal to 100% of Mr. Mika’s annual base salary. Effective December 1, 2014, Mr. Mika’s salary was increased to $310,000 annually.

In connection with the merger of the Company with Medytox, Mr. Mika agreed to enter into a new employment agreement with CollabRx, Inc. (“CollabRx”), a newly-formed subsidiary of the Company upon the effectiveness of the merger. Mr. Mika also agreed that the merger would not constitute a change of control or constitute or give rise to good reason under his prior employment agreement. As a result, on November 2, 2015, CollabRx entered into an at-will employment agreement for Mr. Mika to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of CollabRx. The employment agreement had an initial term of one year and was subject to annual one-year extensions unless either party provided prior written notice of its intention not to renew. Mr. Mika’s annual base salary was set at $310,000, subject to review and potential increase in accordance with Company policy.

The employment agreement provided that in the event Mr. Mika’s employment was terminated by the Company other than for cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or if he resigned for “good reason,” died or became disabled, he would receive a payment equal to two times his then-prevailing base salary (or one times his then-prevailing salary if after the initial one-year term), plus $266,667 (if during the initial one-year term), plus 24 months of COBRA payments (or 12 months if after the initial one-year term), all payable in two equal lump sum payments, the first within 60 days following the date of separation and the second on the first anniversary of the date of separation. If Mr. Mika had any outstanding long-term incentive awards that were not fully vested and, if applicable, exercisable, the Company would cause them to be vested and exercisable immediately prior to the date of termination. Any notice of non-renewal of the term by the Company would constitute a termination of Mr. Mika without cause during a period after the initial one-year term. The employment agreement was not renewed by the Company beyond its initial one year term and, as a result, the employment agreement was terminated on November 2, 2016. Subject to the terms and conditions in the employment agreement, Mr. Mika is eligible to receive an amount equal to his base salary of $310,000 and 12 months of COBRA premiums for Mr. Mika.

15

Jason P. Adams

Medytox entered into a two-year employment agreement with Jason Adams effective September 9, 2015, pursuant to which he was compensated at the rate of $200,000 per year, and entitled to participate in any annual bonus plans that may be approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Adams was entitled to receive 33,000 stock options under the Company’s option plan on December 31, 2015 and 100,000 stock options under the Company’s option plan on each December 31 thereafter under the Company’s option plan then in effect so long as Mr. Adams remained employed with the Company on December 31st of each calendar year during the term of the employment agreement. The Company and Mr. Adams agreed that he would leave the Company effective September 30, 2016 to pursue other interests. The Company and Mr. Adams entered into an Executive Transition and Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Transition Agreement”) effective October 6, 2016. Under the Transition Agreement, Mr. Adams agreed to assist in the transition of duties and to remain available as a consultant for a period of three months to ensure a complete transition. Mr. Adams will be paid $8,000 per month during that three-month period. He will also receive a grant of 83,333 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2007 Incentive Award Plan. Mr. Adams’ health insurance was continued through November 30, 2016, including payment of 100% of the premiums for family dependent coverage. In addition, Mr. Adams granted the Company a full and general release.

Samuel R. Mitchell, Jr.

Medytox entered into a two-year employment agreement with Samuel R. Mitchell, Jr. effective February 4, 2015, pursuant to which he was compensated at the rate of $205,000 per year, and was entitled to participate in any annual bonus plans that may be approved by the Board of Directors. In addition, Mr. Mitchell was entitled to receive 100,000 stock options under the Company’s option plan then in effect so long as Mr. Mitchell remained employed by the Company on December 31st of each calendar year during the term of the employment agreement. Mr. Mitchell’s employment was terminated by the Company effective January 11, 2016.

Clifford Baron, Ph.D.

The Company entered into an at-will employment agreement with Dr. Baron on March 5, 2014.

Under the agreement, Dr. Baron's annual base salary was initially set at $200,000 per year subject to review and potential increase in accordance with Company policy. The employment agreement also provided that Dr. Baron was eligible to receive incentive bonus payments from time to time in accordance with any incentive bonus program adopted by the Company. This agreement was terminated in connection with the merger with Medytox. Dr. Baron has entered into a new employment agreement with CollabRx, Inc. (“CollabRx”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

George Lundberg, M.D.

The Company entered into an at-will employment agreement with Dr. Lundberg on July 12, 2012. Under the agreement, Dr. Lundberg’s annual base salary was initially set at $125,000 per year subject to review and potential increase in accordance with Company policy, taking into account that Dr. Lundberg serves the Company in a capacity which is less than a full-time employee. Dr. Lundberg was made an officer of the Company effective September 2, 2013, and as a result received an increase in his annual base salary to $150,000. This agreement was terminated in connection with the merger with Medytox. Dr. Lundberg has entered into a new employment agreement with CollabRx.

This note was convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at a 25% discount to the trailing ten-day average closing price at any time prior to the repayment. In the event of conversion, the holder of the D&D Debenture was also entitled to receive a number of warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issued upon conversion with exercise prices equal to the trailing ten-day average price of the common stock.

On March 31, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to pledge certain of its accounts receivable as collateral against a prepaid forward purchase contract. The receivables had an estimated collectable value of $8,700,000 and had been adjusted down to approximately $4,300,000 on the Company’s balance sheet as of March 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the carrying value of these receivables was $0.2 million. The consideration received was $5,000,000.

On March 31, 2017, to the extent that the counterparty has not been paid $6,000,000, the Company is required to pay the difference. Christopher Diamantis, a director of the Company, guaranteed the Company’s payment obligation of up to $6,000,000. For providing the guarantee, and to the extent that the counterparty receives amounts payable under clause (ii) above exceeding $5,000,000, Mr. Diamantis will be paid a fee by the counterparty equal to the amount by which the amount received under clause (ii) above exceeds $5,000,000 ($250,000 or $500,000, depending on the timing of payment). In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Diamantis $0.5 million in connection with his providing the guarantee.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy that requires the Audit Committee to approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has established a general pre-approval policy for certain audit and non-audit services, up to a specified amount for each identified service that may be provided by the independent auditors. The Chairman of the Audit Committee may specifically approve any service within the pre-approved audit and non-audit service category if the fees for such service exceed the maximum set forth in the policy, as long as the excess fees are not reasonably expected to exceed $50,000.

PROPOSAL 3 – TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATECOMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT THEIR DISCRETION

 

Introduction

 

Our Board of Directors has unanimously authorized and approved, and is submitting for stockholder approval, a proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio to be established by our Board of Directors in its discretion, within the range of 1-for-101-for-8 and 1-for-30l-for-15 (the “Reverse Split”), and to grant the Board of Directors discretionary authority, until December 31, 2017, to determine whether or not to effect the Reverse Split and the exact whole number ratio within the range at which to effect the Reverse Split. In setting the ratio for the Reverse Split, the intention of our Board of Directors would be to increase the trading price of our common stock sufficiently above the $1.00 minimum bid price that is required for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market in order to reduce the risk that our common stock is delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market for this reason and to sustain long termlong-term compliance with the listing rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”).

On June 12, 2017, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that the bid price of the Company’s common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until December 11, 2017, to regain compliance. If at any time before December 11, 2017, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Price Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance by December 11, 2017, an additional 180 days may be granted to regain compliance, so long as the Company meets The Nasdaq Capital Market initial listing criteria (except for the bid price requirement).

On July 17, 2017, the Company closed an offering of $4,136,862 aggregate principal amount of Original Issue Discount Debentures due October 17, 2017 and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,120,000 shares of common stock for consideration of $2,000,000 in cash and the exchange of the $1,902,700 aggregate principal amount of Original Issue Discount Debentures due September 22, 2017 issued by the Company on June 22, 2017. Under the terms of the documents related to such offering, the Company is required to hold a stockholders’ meeting to obtain stockholder approval for at least a 1-for-8 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. If such approval is not obtained on or before September 20, 2017, it shall be an event of default under the debentures. Promptly following receipt of such approval, the Company is required to cause such reverse split to occur.

The full text of the proposed amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Amendment”).

 

If the Board of Directors implements the Reverse Split, the exact ratio for the Reverse Split will be fixed by the Board of Directors. We believe that this discretion is essential because it provides the Board of Directors with the maximum flexibility to react to changing market conditions and to therefore act in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

 

One principal effect of the Reverse Split would be to decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Except for minimal adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders since each stockholder would hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of common stock would not be affected by the Reverse Split.

 

Although the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease. As a result, the additional authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable without further action by our stockholders, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. We do not have any present plan or intention to issue the additional shares of authorized but unissued common stock that would become available as a result of the proposed Reverse Split.

 

The Reverse Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” subject to Rule 13e-3l3e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"“Exchange Act”).

Reasons for the Reverse Split

 

The Board of Directors’ primary objective in proposing the Reverse Split is to increase the per share trading price of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Board of Directors believes that by increasing the price per share of our common stock, the Company may meet and maintain compliance with the listingPrice Rule requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Board of Directors believes that the liquidity and marketability of our common stock will be adversely affected if it is not quoted on a national securities exchange, as investors may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock. The Board of Directors believes that current and prospective investors will view an investment in our common stock more favorably if our common stock remains quoted on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Also, as noted above, if the Company does not obtain stockholder approval of the Reverse Split by September 20, 2017, it shall be an event of default under the debentures issued on July 17, 2017.

 

The Board of Directors also believes that the Reverse Split and any resulting increase in the per share price of our common stock should also enhance the acceptability and marketability of our common stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our common stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses also frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentageof the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock,investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our common stock.

 

22

If effected, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired effects described above. More specifically, we cannot assure you that after the Reverse Split the trading price of our common stock will increase proportionately to reflect the ratio for the Reverse Split, that the trading price of our common stock will not decrease to its pre-Reverse Split level, that our market capitalization will be equal to the market capitalization before the Reverse Split, or that we will be able to maintain our listing on The NASDAQ CapitalCapital Market. The Company effected a reverse split on February 22, 2017 and the price of our common stock has decreased since then to a price lower than it was before such split.

 

NASDAQ Requirements for Continued Listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market

 

Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market. On March 16, 2016,June 12, 2017, we were notified by NASDAQ that the bid price of our common stock closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we hadhave 180 calendar days, or until September 12, 2016, to regain compliance. On September 13, 2016, The NASDAQ Capital Market granted the Company an 180-day extension, or until March 17,December 11, 2017, to regain compliance. If at any time before March 17,December 11, 2017 the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, we will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If we do not regain compliance by March 17, December 11,2017, our common stockan additional 180 days may be delisted fromgranted to regain compliance, so long as we meet The NASDAQNasdaq Capital Market.

Market initial listing criteria (except for the bid price requirement).

 

The Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to the Company of a delisting from The NASDAQ Capital Market and believes it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders for the Company to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

Although we expect that the Reverse Spilt will result in our common stock complying with the Price Rule, we may not be able to satisfy other criteria for continued listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

For example, on January 11, 2017, we were notified by Nasdaq that we no longer comply with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 (the "Audit Committee Rule"), which requires the audit committee of the Company's board of directors to have at least three members, each of whom must be an independent director as defined under the Audit Committee Rule. With the passing of Benjamin Frank in December 2016, our audit committee currently consists of two independent directors. In accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(4), we have until the earlier of our next annual stockholders' meeting or December 18, 2017 to regain compliance. If we do not regain compliance by the foregoing applicable dates, then Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that our securities will be delisted.

In addition, on April 18, 2017, we were notified by Nasdaq that the stockholders' equity balance reported on our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 fell below the $2,500,000 minimum requirement for continued listing under the Nasdaq Capital Market's Listing Rule 5550(b)(i) (the "Equity Rule"). As of June 30, 2017, the Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $17,561,514. In accordance with the Equity Rule, the Company submitted a plan to Nasdaq outlining how it intends to regain compliance. On August 17, 2017, Nasdaq notified the Company that its plan did not contain evidence of its ability to achieve near term compliance with the continued listing requirements or sustain such compliance over an extended period of time. The Company may appeal the Staff’s decision to a Hearing Panel and intends to do so. The appeal will stay any further action pending the Panel’s decision. If the appeal is successful, the Company may be granted 180 days from August 17, 2017 to regain compliance. The Company is considering its available options to regain compliance, including the previously-announced spin offs of its Advanced Molecular Services Group and its software division, Health Technology Solutions, in a manner by which the Company believes all of its investment to date can be recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. Although there can be no guarantee of a successful appeal or of regaining compliance, the Company expects that it will regain compliance with the Equity Rule.

 

Potential Disadvantages of a Reverse Stock Split

 

As noted above,the principal purpose of the Reverse Split would be to help increase the trading price per share of our common stock by a factor of between 108 and 30.15 and to comply with our obligations under the debentures. We cannot assure you, however, that the Reverse Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time. time.While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will increase the trading price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will increase the trading price of our common stock by a multiple equal to the Reverse Split ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors,or result in any permanent increase in the trading price of our common stock,which is dependent upon many factors,including our business and financial performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success. The Company effected a reverse split on February 22, 2017 and the price of our common stock has decreased since then to a price lower than it was before such split. Should the trading price decline after the Reverse Split, the percentage decline may be greater,due to the smaller number of shares outstanding,than it would have been prior to the Reverse Split. In some cases, as in our February 2017 reverse split, the per share stock price of companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined back to pre-reverse split levels. In addition, a reverse stock split is often viewed negatively by the market and,consequently, can lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share trading price does not increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Split, then the value of the Company as measured by our stock capitalization will be reduced, perhaps significantly.

The number of shares held by each individual stockholder would be reduced if the Reverse Split is implemented. This will increase the number of stockholders who hold less than a “round lot,or 100 shares. Typically,the transaction costs to stockholders selling “odd lots” odd lotsare higher on a per share basis. basis.Consequently, the Reverse Split could increase the transaction costs to existing stockholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their position.position.

 

Although the Board of Directors believes that the decrease in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Split and the anticipated increase in the trading price of our common stock could encourage interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of ofshares outstanding after the Reverse Split.

Effecting the Reverse Split;Split; Board Discretion to Implement Reverse Split

 

If approved by stockholders at the AnnualSpecial Meeting and our Board of Directors decides that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to effect the Reverse Split, the Board of Directors will establish an appropriate ratio for the Reverse Split based on several factors existing at such time and the Company will subsequently file the Amendment. Our Board of Directors will consider, among other factors, prevailing market conditions, the likely effect of the Reverse Split on the trading price of our common stock, and on our compliance with applicable NASDAQ listing requirements, and the marketability and liquidity of our common stock. The Board of Directors will determine the timing of the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split. If, for any reason, the Board of Directors deems it advisable, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may abandon the Reverse Split at any time prior to the effectiveness of any filing of the Amendment, without further action by our stockholders.stockholders, although the Company will still need to comply with its obligations under the debentures issued on July 17, 2017. The Reverse Split will be effective as of the date and time set forth in the Amendment (the “Effective Time”).

 

Upon the filing of the Amendment, without further action on the part of the Company or the stockholders, the outstanding shares of common stock held by stockholders of record as of the Effective Time would be converted into a lesser number of shares of common stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, based on a reverse split ratio within the range of 1-for-101-for-8 and 1-for-30.1-for-15. In the event of a Reverse Split at a ratio of 1-for-10,1-for-8, for example, if a stockholder holds 10,0008,000 shares of common stock as of the Effective Time, such stockholder would hold 1,000 shares of common stock following such Reverse Split.

 

Effect on Outstanding Shares, Options, and Certain Other Securities

 

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of shares of our common stock owned by each stockholder will be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction in the total number of shares outstanding, such that the percentage of our common stock owned by each stockholder will remain unchanged, except for any de minimis change resulting from the issuancetreatment of one whole share in exchange for any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Split. The number of shares of common stock that may be purchasedreceived upon conversion, exercise or exchange, as the case may be, of outstanding options or other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock, and the exercise or conversion prices for these securities, will also be adjusted in accordance with their terms, as of the Effective Time. Additionally, the aggregate number of equity-based awards that remain available to be granted under our equity incentive plans and other benefit plans will be reduced proportionately to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

No Effect on Par Value

 

If we file the Amendment and implement the proposed Reverse Split, the par value of our common stock will not be affected.

 

Effect on Registration and Stock Trading

 

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed Reverse Split will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act.

 

If we implement the proposed Reverse Split, our common stock will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “RNVA”. However, our common stock would have a new CUSIP number, which is a number used to identify our common stock.

Mechanics of Reverse Split

 

If this Proposal No. 31 is approved by the stockholders at the AnnualSpecial Meeting and our Board of Directors decides that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to effectuate the Reverse Split, (i.e., we have not otherwise regained compliance with NASDAQ’s minimum bid requirement), our stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Split has been effected. The mechanics of the Reverse Split will differ depending upon whether a stockholder holds its shares of common stock in brokerage accounts or “street name” or whether the shares are registered directly in a stockholder’s name and held in book-entry form or certificate form.

 

·Our stockholders who hold shares in “street name” through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) will be treated in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures for processing the Reverse Split and stockholders holding shares in “street name” are encouraged to contact their nominees.
·Our registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form under the direct registration system for securities. These stockholders will not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. Stockholders holding registered shares of our common stock in book-entry form need not take any action to receive post-Reverse Split shares as a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholders address of record indicating the number of shares held.
·Some of our registered stockholders hold all their shares in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. Stockholders holding shares of common stock in certificate form will receive a transmittal letter from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Transfer Agent”) as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the Reverse Split for use in transmitting the existing certificates representing shares of our common stock (the “Old Certificates”) to our Transfer Agent. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions for the surrender of the Old Certificates to our Transfer Agent in exchange for new certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of new common stock giving effect to the Reverse Split. No new stock certificates will be issued to any stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all certificates, together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal, to our Transfer Agent. The stockholders will then receive, at their option, either a new certificate or certificates or book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of common stock into which their pre-Reverse Split shares have been converted as a result of the Reverse Split. Until surrendered, the Company will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by stockholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Split common stock to which the stockholders are entitled. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Our stockholders who hold shares of common stock in “street name” through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) will be treated in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures for processing the Reverse Split and stockholders holding shares in “street name” are encouraged to contact their nominees.

Our registered stockholders may hold some or all of their shares of common stock electronically in book-entry form under the direct registration system for securities. These stockholders will not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our common stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. Stockholders holding registered shares of our common stock in book-entry form need not take any action to receive post-Reverse Split shares as a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares held.

Some of our registered stockholders hold all their shares of common stock in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. Stockholders holding shares of common stock in certificate form will receive a transmittal letter from Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (the “Transfer Agent”) as soon as practicable after the Effective Date of the Reverse Split for use in transmitting the existing certificates representing shares of our common stock (the “Old Certificates”) to our Transfer Agent. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions for the surrender of the Old Certificates to our Transfer Agent in exchange for new certificates representing the appropriate number of whole shares of new common stock giving effect to the Reverse Split. No new stock certificates will be issued to any stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered all certificates, together with a properly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, to our Transfer Agent. The stockholders will then receive, at their option, either a new certificate or certificates or book-entry shares representing the number of whole shares of common stock into which their pre-Reverse Split shares have been converted as a result of the Reverse Split. Until surrendered, the Company will deem outstanding Old Certificates held by stockholders to be cancelled and only to represent the number of whole shares of post-Reverse Split common stock to which the stockholders are entitled. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

 

Treatment of Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of common stock wouldwill be issued as a result of the proposed Reverse Split. Instead, in the event the Reverse Split results in any stockholder being entitled to receive fractional shares that, when aggregated, equal less than a whole share of common stock, such fractional shares will be reclassified and converted from and after the Effective Time into one whole share of common stock in lieu of such fractional shares.shares, stockholders will receive a cash payment equal to such fraction multiplied by the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market during regular trading hours for the five trading-day period ending on the last business day preceding the effective day of the Reverse Split (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split).

 

For example, if the Board of Directors determines to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of 1-for-15,l-for-8, then a stockholder who holds one hundred (100) shares of common stock on a pre-split basis would hold seven (7)twelve (12) whole shares on a post-split basis.basis and receive cash in lieu of the fractional share. Also, if the ratio of the Reverse Split is 1-for-8, all stockholders who hold less than eight shares will only receive cash for their fractional shares in the Reverse Split.

 

Accounting Consequences

 

The Reverse Split will not affect the common stock capital account on our balance sheet. However, because the par value of our common stock will remain unchanged as of the Effective Time, the components that comprise the common stock capital account will change by offsetting amounts. Specifically, on our balance sheet, the common stock value would be adjusted downward commensurate with the ratio of the Reverse Split, such that the common stock value would become an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares of post-Reverse Split common stock. Theadditional paid-inpaid-in capital amount recorded on our balance sheet would be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the common stock was decreased. Additionally,net loss per share would increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Split since there would be fewer shares outstanding.

No Dissenter’s Rights

 

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders will not be entitled to dissenter’s rights with respect to the proposed Amendment to effect the Reverse Split, and the Company does not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such right.

 

Federal Income Tax Consequences

 

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split that we anticipate would affect our stockholders. stockholders.This discussion is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”),final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and current administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof. This summary is provided for your general information only and does not address all aspects of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split andIS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE TO ANY PERSON.PERSON. In particular, this summary does not consider the federal income tax consequences to our stockholders in light of their individual investment circumstances or to holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, and does not address any consequences of the Reverse Split under any state, local or foreign tax laws. laws.Moreover, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, alternative minimum tax, or other tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

 

ACCORDINGLY, YOU MUST CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT TO YOU, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

 

Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“(IRS”) will not take a contrary position to the tax consequences described herein or that such position will be sustained by a court. In addition, U.S. U.S.tax laws are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, which may result in U.S. federal income tax considerations different from those summarized below. No ruling from the IRS has been obtained with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

 

We believe that the reverse stock split should qualify as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a stockholder should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Split. A stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in its post-Reverse Split shares of common stock to be received should be the same as the aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Split shares of common stock to be exchanged therefor. therefor.The holding period for the post-Reverse Split shares of common stock received should include the period during which such stockholder held the pre-Reverse Split shares of common stock surrendered therefor, provided all such common stock was held as a capital asset at the Effective Time. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors as to application of the foregoing rules where shares of our common stock were acquired at different times or at different prices.

 

The Company will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting or tax purposes as a result of the Reverse Split.

 

Our beliefs regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split are not binding upon the IRS, or federal, state or local courts, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts will concur with the positions expressed above. above.The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse Split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending on where he or she resides.

 

Consequences if the Reverse Split is Not Approved

 

If this Proposal No. 31 is not approved, we may be unable to maintain the listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. Also, if the Company does not obtain stockholder approval by September 20, 2017, it will be an event of default under the debentures issued on July 17, 2017. Also, if Proposal 1 is not approved at the Special Meeting, we will be required to call a meeting every four months thereafter until the earlier of the date approval is received or that the debentures and warrants issued on July 17, 2017 are no longer outstanding.

MISCELLANEOUS

Our management does not intend to present any other items of business and the compensation tablesis not aware of any matters other than those set forth in this Proxy Statement.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, is a non-binding vote, but it gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. This vote is not to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers.

Accordingly, the following resolution is submittedStatement that will be presented for a non-binding, advisory stockholder voteaction at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, thatSpecial Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the stockholders of Rennova Health, Inc. approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis,Special Meeting, the compensation of itspersons named executive officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 22, 2016, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including any narrative discussion of executive compensation, the accompanying tabular disclosure regarding named executive officer compensation and the corresponding narrative disclosure and footnotes.

This vote is advisory, which means that it is not binding on the Company, or our Board of Directors. The Company recognizes that stockholders may have different views regarding the Company, and therefore we look forward to hearing from our stockholders as to their preferences on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Board of Directors will review the outcome of the vote; however, when considering the compensation of our named executive officers, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to continue its current compensation practices regardless of the result of the vote on this proposal.

Since 2013, a majority of stockholders present and entitledenclosed proxy intend to vote on the proposal have approved the say-on-pay proposal. At our 2013 Annual Meeting, a majority of stockholders present and entitled to vote on the proposal selected three years as the desired frequency of future stockholder say-on-pay votes with respect to the say-on-frequency proposal. As such, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution to hold “say-on-pay” votes triennially. Unless this policy changes, the next advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers will be held during the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Required Vote

Approval of the advisory (non-binding) resolution on the Company’s executive compensation will require that a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of shares of our common stock presentthat they represent in accordance with their best judgment.
