PROXY
STATEMENT FOR
SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
General
Information
This Proxy Statement is furnished in
connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Sports Field Holdings, Inc. (“we”,
“us”, “our”, “Sports Field”, the “Company” or “our Company”) for
use at the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), to be held at 100N 18
th
Street,
Suite 300, Philadelphia, PA 19103, on November 3, 2016, at 9:00a.m., local time, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The
matters to be considered and acted upon at this Special Meeting are set forth in the attached Notice of Special Meeting. This
Proxy Statement, the Notice of Special Meeting and the form of proxy are first being mailed to stockholders on or about
October 21, 2016.
Voting
Securities
Only shareholders of record as of the close of business
on October 10, 2016 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement
thereof. As of the Record Date, there were approximately 16,852,153 shares of common stock of the Company, issued and outstanding
and entitled to vote representing approximately 239 holders of record. The Company’s Bylaws provide that a majority
of all the shares of stock entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Special Meeting. The enclosed Proxy reflects the number of shares that you are entitled
to vote.
Shareholders
List
For
a period of at least ten days prior to the Special Meeting, a complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Special
Meeting will be available at the principal executive offices of the Company located at 4320 Winfield Road, Suite 200 Warrenville,
Illinois 60555 so that shareholders of record may inspect the list only for proper purposes.
Quorum
and Required Vote
As
of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 16,852,153 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled
to vote at the Special Meeting. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as
of the close of business on the Record Date.
Representation
at the Special Meeting of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote, either in
person or by a properly executed Proxy, is required to constitute a quorum. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, once a quorum is
established, shareholder approval with respect to a particular proposal is generally obtained when the votes cast in favor of
the proposal exceed the votes cast against such proposal.
Amendment
to Our Articles of Incorporation to Effect a Reverse Stock Split (Proposal 1).
Proposal 1 will provide for a reverse stock
split of our issued and outstanding common stock in a range of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-25. The affirmative
vote of holders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve Proposal
1.
Approval
of the Sports Field Holdings 2016 Incentive Stock Option Plan (Proposal 2).
On October 4, 2016, the Board
approved the Sports Field Holdings, Inc. 2016 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The 2016 Plan will
authorize equity and performance-based compensation arrangements that we need to remain competitive with our peers, adapt
compensation awards to changes in corporate objectives and the marketplace, effectively attract, motivate, and retain the
caliber of employees essential to the Company's future growth and success, to help enable us to achieve our financial and
operational goals, enhance stockholder value, and preserve the tax deductibility of performance-based compensation paid to
certain executive officers under Section 162(m) ("Section 162(m)") of the Code. Historically, although we have not
had a specific stock awards program or plan, we have granted equity awards to key employees, consultants, and Directors. We
also are seeking stockholder approval of the 2016 Plan so that compensation attributable to grants under the 2016 Plan may
qualify for an exemption from the $1 million deduction limit under Section 162(m) of the Code. Accordingly, the affirmative
vote of a majority of the shares present at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, and voting on the matter, will be
required to approve the Sports Field Holdings 2016 Incentive Stock Option Plan.
Adjournment of Special Meeting from
Time to Time if Necessary or Advisable (as Determined in Good Faith by the Board of Directors), to Solicit Additional Proxies
if There Are Insufficient Votes at the Time of the Special Meeting to Approve One or More of the Proposals Herein (Proposal 3)
.
Assuming a quorum for the Special Meeting is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by
proxy at the Special Meeting is required to approve Proposal 3.
Abstentions
and Broker “Non-Votes”
Broker
non-votes will be considered "present" for purposes of determining whether a quorum has been achieved at the Special
Meeting. Abstentions from voting on any proposal and "broker non-votes" will be counted as shares that are present and
entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining the outcome
of any matter as to which a broker (or other nominee) has not received instructions, and for which it does not have discretionary
voting authority, those shares will be treated as not present and not entitled to vote with respect to that matter (even though
those shares are considered entitled to vote for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists and may be entitled to vote on
other matters). For proposals that require a majority of votes outstanding to pass, these shares will be treated as voted "against"
such proposal.
The
affirmative vote of each of the holders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock is required
to approve Proposal 1, and an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote
is required for approval of Proposal 2 and Proposal 3. Broker non-votes will not be considered shares present and entitled to
vote and will not have a positive or negative effect on the outcome of such proposals.
Appointment
of Proxies
You
may vote in person at the Special Meeting or by proxy. We recommend that you vote by proxy even if you plan to attend the Special
Meeting. You can always change your vote at the Special Meeting.

Rights
Under

BACKGROUND
FOR PROPOSAL 1
We
were incorporated on February 8, 2011, as Anglesea Enterprises, Inc. Initially our activities consisted of providing marketing
and web-related services to small businesses including the design and development of original websites, creative writing and graphics,
virtual tours, audio/visual services, marketing analysis and search engine optimization. On June 16, 2014, Anglesea Enterprises,
Inc. (“Anglesea”), Anglesea Enterprises Acquisition Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglesea (“Merger Sub”),
Sports Field Holdings, Inc., a privately-held Nevada corporation headquartered in Illinois (“Sports Field Private Co”),
Leslie Toups and Edward Mass Jr., as individuals (the “Majority Shareholders”), entered into an Acquisition Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which the Merger Sub was merged with and into Sports Field
Private Co, with Sports Field Private Co surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Anglesea (the “Merger”). Anglesea
acquired, through a reverse triangular merger, all of the outstanding capital stock of Sports Field Private Co in exchange for
issuing Sports Field Private Co’s shareholders 11,914,275 shares of Anglesea’s common stock.
Upon
completion of the Merger, on June 16, 2014, Anglesea merged with Sports Field Private Co in a short-form merger transaction (the
“Short Form Merger”) under Nevada law. Upon completion of the Short Form Merger, the Company became the parent company
of the Sport Field Private Co’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Sports Field Contractors LLC, SportsField Engineering, Inc. and
Athletic Construction Enterprises, Inc. Sports Field Contractors, LLC and Athletic Construction Enterprises, Inc. were subsequently
dissolved on January 9, 2015 and September 22, 2015, respectively. SportsField Engineering, Inc. changed its name to FirstForm,
Inc on April 5, 2016. In connection with the Short Form Merger, Anglesea changed its name to Sports Field Holdings, Inc. on June
16, 2014.
Since
inception through June 30, 2016 we have recorded net accumulated losses totaling $12,414,480. As of June 30, 2016, we had a working
capital deficit of $2,257,979. Our net losses for the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 have been
$3,338,157 and $3,832,856, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2015, our
revenue was approximately $4,000,000 representing a 220% year over year growth. The Company currently has been awarded contracts
representing $15,600,000 in projects which we anticipate will all be underway in the current fiscal year. Additionally, we have
grown our sales team to 9 representatives in various regions of the United
States and created an ambassador program, which began with our football ambassador and future Hall of Famer Ray Lewis and have added 12-year
Major League Soccer veteran Chris Wingert and former major league baseball pitcher and current L.A. Dodgers Pitching Coach, Rick
Honeycutt.
Despite the
significant improvement in our prospects, the trading price of our common stock continues to remain in a narrow low trading range.
Since December 31, 2015, our common stock had a low closing price of $0.11 per share and a high closing price of $1.67 per share.
Since April 2015, representatives of our Company have met with representatives from numerous, money managers, institutional investors,
analysts and investment banks, including Joseph Gunnar & Co., LLC, (“Joseph Gunnar”), concerning our Company and ways to enhance
the value of our common stock and raise additional capital to grow our business. In connection with these meetings, we were told
that, despite the growth we have demonstrated and our prospects for continued growth, many money managers, institutional and retail
investors and others would be hesitant to make investments in our common stock because of its low trading price and the trading
market in which it is quoted. We were advised that many broker-dealers, institutional investors and money managers have internal
policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage
them from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers or purchasing such shares. We were advised that some of the policies
and practices of broker-dealers may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to
brokers. Some of the investment banks suggested we effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock to uplist
our common stock to a more recognizable trading market, such as NASDAQ.
On
June 6, 2016, the Board of Directors, by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting, approved the Company’s
engagement of Joseph Gunnar as the Company’s financial advisor and sole bookrunner in connection with a proposed $10
million firm-commitment public offering of our common stock (the “Offering”) and the potential listing of our
common stock onto a national exchange
.
On October 4, 2016, the Board of Directors
met by telephone to discuss the Offering and Mr. Jeromy Olson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, suggested a proposed
range for a proposed reverse stock split of our common stock with a view to uplist our common stock from the OTCQB to The NASDAQ
Capital Market. During the meeting, the board of directors of the Company gave their views and perspectives with respect to our
existing capital structure, our estimated valuation, challenges presented by our existing capital structure, the Offering and alternatives
to the Offering. Mr. Olson discussed in detail our capital structure and how our capital structure would be affected by the Offering
and potential reverse stock split. The Board of Directors unanimously determined that the Offering was advisable and in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders, including the holders of common stock in their capacity as such, and approved the
amendments to our Articles of Incorporation discussed in this Proxy Statement to effectuate the reverse stock split and the reduction
in the conversion price of each series of our outstanding preferred stock.
Recommendation
of the Board of Directors
The
Board of Directors determined that the proposed range of the Reverse Stock Split is fair to and in the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders, including holders of our common stock in their capacity as such. Accordingly, the Board
of Directors determined to (1) approve the Reverse Stock Split and the proposed Reverse Stock Split Ratio to be set by the
Board of Directors without further action from the stockholders, including the filing of the Amendment, (2) submit the
Reverse Stock Split and the Amendment to the Company’s stockholders for a vote and (3) recommend that the
Company’s stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split, the Reverse Stock Split Ratio to be set by the Board and the
filing of the Amendment.
In
making such determinations, the Board of Directors considered the following factors:
|
●
|
the
Reverse Stock Split and the Amendment would allow us to proceed with the Offering and potentially obtain additional capital
and list its common stock on a national securities exchange;
|
|
●
|
the
Reverse Stock Split could increase the liquidity and marketability of our common stock by making it more likely that it is
listed on a national securities exchange and increase the market value per share, which would attract the interest of analysts,
institutional investors, investment funds and brokers.
|
The
foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board of Directors is not intended to be exhaustive and
may not include all of the information and factors considered by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors, in making its
determination regarding the Reverse Stock Split, including filing of the Amendment, did not find it useful to, and did not, quantify
or assign any relative or specific weights to the various factors that it considered. Rather, the Board of Directors views its
determinations as being based on an overall analysis and on the totality of the information presented to and factors considered
by it. In addition, in considering the factors described above, individual members of the Board of Directors may have given differing
weights to different factors, and may have viewed some factors relatively more positively or negatively than others.
PROPOSAL
1
PROPOSAL
1 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING
COMMON STOCK IN A RANGE OF NOT LESS THAN 1 FOR 5 AND NOT MORE THAN 1 FOR 25
General
The
Board of Directors has adopted, and is recommending that our stockholders approve, the Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split
of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at an exchange ratio of not less than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-25,
which we sometimes refer to as the Reverse Stock Split. The form of this Amendment is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix
A.
If
this proposal is approved, the Board of Directors will have the authority, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion and
without any further action on the part of the stockholders, to effect the Reverse Stock Split within this range at any time it
believes to be most advantageous to our Company and stockholders. The exact ratio of the reverse stock split, if effected, would
be set at a whole number within the range as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. The Amendment would
not change the number of authorized shares of our common stock and the par value of our common stock would remain at $0.00001
per share. As of the date of this proxy statement, we do not have any current plans, arrangements or understandings related the
issuance of any additional shares of common stock that will become newly available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.
We
believe that enabling our Board of Directors to set the ratio within the stated range will provide us with the flexibility to
implement the Reverse Stock Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for our stockholders. In determining
a ratio, if any, following the receipt of stockholder approval, our Board of Directors may consider, among other things, factors
such as:
|
●
|
the
initial listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market;
|
|
●
|
the
historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;
|
|
●
|
the
number of outstanding shares of our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split
on the trading market for our common stock;
|
|
●
|
the
anticipated impact in connection with our Offering; and
|
|
●
|
prevailing
general market and economic conditions.
|
Depending
on the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split determined by our Board of Directors, no less than 5 and no more than 25 shares of existing
issued and outstanding common stock, as determined by our Board of Directors or a committee thereof, will be combined into one
share of common stock. The Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split, if any, will effect only the Reverse Stock Split Ratio
within such range determined by our Board of Directors to be in the best interests of our stockholders.
The
Reverse Stock Split would be effected by the filing of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation in the form attached hereto
as Appendix A, with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Board of Directors will retain the authority
not to effect the Reverse Stock Split even if we receive stockholder approval. Thus, subject to stockholder approval, the Board
of Directors, at its discretion, may cause the filing of the Amendment to effect a Reverse Stock Split or abandon it and effect
no Reverse Stock Split if it determines that such action is not in the best interests of our Company and stockholders.
Purpose
of the Reverse Stock Split
The
Board of Directors is submitting the proposed Reverse Stock Split to our stockholders for approval in connection with the contemplated
Offering and the plan to uplist our common stock from the OTCQB to The NASDAQ Capital Market. The Board believes the consummation
of the Reverse Stock Split and the uplist of our common stock will make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of
institutional and other investors. Accordingly, for these and other reasons described in this Proxy Statement, we believe that
effecting the Reverse Stock Split is in the Company’s and our stockholders’ best interests.
We
believe that the Reverse Stock Split will enhance our ability to obtain an initial listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market. The NASDAQ
Capital Market requires, among other items, an initial bid price of least $4.00 per share and following initial listing, maintenance
of a continued price of at least $1.00 per share. A decrease in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock resulting
from a Reverse Stock Split should, absent other factors, increase the per share market price of our common stock, although we
cannot provide any assurance that our minimum bid price would remain over the minimum bid price requirement of The NASDAQ Capital
Market following the Reverse Stock Split.
Additionally,
we believe that the Reverse Stock Split will make our common stock more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other
investors, as we have been advised that the current market price of our common stock may affect its acceptability to certain institutional
investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. As previously discussed, many brokerage houses and
institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or
tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies
and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover,
because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions
on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of common stock can result in individual 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 liquidity of the holders of our common stock.
Reducing
the number of outstanding shares of our common stock through the Reverse Stock Split is intended, absent other factors, to increase
the per share market price of our common stock in order to attract new investors and meet one of the initial listing requirements
of The NASDAQ Capital Market. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception
of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, we cannot assure you that the Reverse
Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common stock will
increase following the Reverse Stock Split or that the market price of our common stock will not decrease in the future. Additionally,
we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our common stock after a Reverse Stock Split will increase in proportion
to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total
market capitalization of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before
the Reverse Stock Split.
Procedure
for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split
The Reverse Stock Split, if approved by
our stockholders, would become effective upon the filing (the “Effective Time”) of the Amendment with the Office of
the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Amendment will implement the exchange ratio (of not less than 1-for-5 nor more
than 1-for-25) as determined by the Board of Directors prior to the Effective Time. The exact timing of the filing of the certificate
of amendment that will affect the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by our Board of Directors based on its evaluation as to
when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors reserves
the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the
Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the Amendment our Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, determines that
it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split.
Effect
of the Reverse Stock Split on Holders of Outstanding Common Stock
The
Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interest in our Company, except as described below
in "Fractional Shares." Record holders of our common stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share as a result of the
Reverse Stock Split because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Reverse Stock Split Ratio will automatically
be entitled to receive an additional fraction of a share of our common stock to round up to the next whole share. In addition,
the Reverse Stock Split will not affect any stockholder's proportionate voting power (subject to the treatment of fractional shares
as discussed herein).
The
Reverse Stock Split will not change the terms of our common stock. After the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of our common stock
will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to our
common stock now authorized. Our common stock will remain fully paid and non-assessable.
After
the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Reverse Stock Split is not intended as,
and will not have the effect of, a "going private transaction" as described by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.
If
we fail to meet the requirements specified in NASDAQ's listing standards, our common stock will continue to be quoted on the OTCQB
under the symbol "SFHI."
After
the effective time of a Reverse Stock Split, the post-split market price of our common stock may be less than the pre-split price
multiplied by the Reverse Stock Split Ratio. In addition, a reduction in number of shares of our common stock outstanding may
impair the liquidity for our common stock, which may reduce the value of our common stock.
The
availability of a substantial number of authorized but un-issued shares of our common stock resulting from the Reverse Stock Split,
under various scenarios, may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares of our common
stock to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions in our
Articles of Incorporation or bylaws as then in effect. The proposal to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split did not result from
our knowledge of any specific effort to accumulate our securities or to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer,
proxy solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise, and our Board did not authorize the Reverse Stock Split to increase
the authorized shares of our common stock to enable us to frustrate any efforts by another party to acquire a controlling interest
or to seek representation on our Board.
In
addition, the Reverse Stock Split will increase the number of stockholders of the Company who own odd lots (less than 100 shares).
Stockholders who hold odd lots typically will experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares, as well as possible
greater difficulty in effecting such sales. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split will achieve
the desired results that have been outlined above.
Beneficial
Holders of Common Stock
Upon
the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders through a bank, broker, custodian
or other nominee in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians
or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Stock Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in
street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than we have instituted
for registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold shares of our common stock with a bank,
broker, custodian or other nominee and who have any questions in this regard are encouraged to contact their banks, brokers, custodians
or other nominees.
Registered
“Book-Entry” Holders of Common Stock (i.e., stockholders that are registered on the transfer agent’s books and
records but do not hold stock certificates)
Some
of our registered holders of common stock may hold their shares electronically in book-entry form with the transfer agent. These
stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership in our common stock. They are, however, provided with a
statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts.
If
your shares of common stock are held in book-entry form, you will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent, who is
also acting as our exchange agent in connection with our Reverse Stock Split, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time.
The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how to receive your post-reverse stock split shares of common stock electronically
in book-entry form under the Direct Registration System (DRS). Shareholders will need to return to our transfer agent a properly
executed and completed letter of transmittal in order to receive their new book-entry statement representing post-reverse split
shares of common stock. The post-reverse split shares of common stock will contain the same restrictive legends as the pre-reverse
split shares.
Holders
of Certificated Shares of Common Stock
Some
of the registered holders of our common stock hold their shares in certificate form. If your shares of common stock are held in
certificate form, you will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent, who is also acting as our exchange agent in connection
with the Reverse Stock Split, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions
on how to surrender your certificate or certificates representing your pre-reverse stock split shares to our transfer agent. Upon
our transfer agent’s receipt of your pre-reverse stock split certificate or certificates, together with a properly completed
and executed letter of transmittal, you will receive your post-reverse split shares of common stock electronically in book-entry
form under the DRS. The post-reverse split shares of common stock will contain the same restrictive legends as the pre-reverse
split shares. At any time after receipt of your DRS statement, you may request a stock certificate representing your shares of
common stock if you do not want to hold your shares in book-entry form.
Regardless
of how shareholders hold our common stock (i.e., in book-entry or certificated form), shareholders will not have to pay any service
charges to us or our transfer agent in connection with the reverse stock split.
STOCKHOLDERS
SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.
Fractional
Shares
We
do not currently intend to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Therefore, we will not issue certificates
representing fractional shares. In lieu of issuing fractions of shares, the Company will round up the fractional share to the
next whole share.
Accounting
Matters
The
proposed Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation will not affect the par value of our common stock per share,
which will remain $0.00001 par value per share. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer
shares of common stock outstanding.
MATERIAL
U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
The
following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split of our common stock.
This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or “the Code,” the U.S.
Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and judicial and administrative rulings, all as in effect as of the date of this
Proxy Statement and all of which are subject to change or varying interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such changes
could affect the accuracy of the statements and conclusions set forth herein.
This
discussion assumes that holders of our capital stock hold their shares as capital assets within the meaning of section 1221 of
the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation
that may be relevant to a holder of our capital stock in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, nor does it discuss
the special considerations applicable to holders of our capital stock subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income
tax laws, such as, for example, financial institutions or broker-dealers, mutual funds, partnerships or other pass-through entities
and their partners or members, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities or foreign currencies, traders
in securities who elect the mark-to-market method of accounting, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies,
U.S. expatriates, holders who acquired our capital stock through the exercise of options or otherwise as compensation, holders
who hold our capital stock as part of a hedge, straddle, constructive sale or conversion transaction, or U.S. holders whose functional
currency is not the U.S. dollar. This discussion does not address any aspect of foreign, state, local, alternative minimum, estate,
gift or other tax law that may be applicable to a holder of our capital stock.
The
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock for a partner in a
partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally depend on the status
of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the
specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the reverse stock split of our common stock.
We
intend this discussion to provide only a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock
split of our issued and outstanding common stock. We do not intend it to be a complete analysis or description of all potential
U.S. federal income tax consequences of the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. The U.S. federal income
tax laws are complex and subject to varying interpretation, and we have not and do not expect to seek a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service, or the IRS, nor an opinion of tax counsel regarding any of the U.S. federal income tax consequences described
herein. Accordingly, the IRS may not agree with the tax consequences described in this document.
For
purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a holder of record of our capital stock that is, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes:
|
●
|
an
individual citizen or resident of the United States,
|
|
●
|
a
corporation (including any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or
under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
|
|
●
|
an
estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or
|
|
●
|
a
trust if (i) its administration is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more
U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect
under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
|
A
“non-U.S. holder” is a holder of our capital stock (other than a partnership) that is not a U.S. holder.
U.S.
Holders
Reverse
Stock Split
We
believe that the reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock should qualify as a “recapitalization”
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a U.S. holder should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the reverse
stock split (except to the extent of cash received in lieu of a fractional share). Further, a U.S. holder’s aggregate tax
basis in his, her, or its post-reverse stock split shares should equal the aggregate tax basis in the pre-reverse stock split
shares exchanged therefor, reduced by the amount of the adjusted basis of any pre-reverse stock split shares exchanged that is
allocated to any fractional share for which cash is received, and such holder’s holding period for the post-reverse stock
split shares should include the period during which such stockholder held the pre-reverse stock split shares surrendered therefor.
U.S. holders 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.
A
U.S. holder who receives cash instead of a fractional share of post-reverse stock split shares should be treated as having received
the fractional share pursuant to the reverse stock split and then as having exchanged the fractional share for cash in a redemption.
In general, this deemed redemption will be treated as a sale or exchange, provided the redemption is not essentially equivalent
to a dividend as discussed below. Gain or loss generally will be recognized based on the difference between the amount of cash
received and the portion of the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split shares allocable to such
fractional share. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period
for such pre-reverse stock split shares is more than one year as of the effective date of the reverse stock split, and otherwise
will be short-term capital gain or loss.
The
receipt of cash is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” if the reduction in a U.S. holder’s proportionate
interest in our Company resulting from the reverse stock split (taking into account for this purpose shares of our issued and
outstanding common stock which such holder is considered to own under certain attribution rules) is considered a “meaningful
reduction” given such U.S. holder’s particular facts and circumstances. The IRS has ruled that a small reduction by
a minority stockholder whose relative stock interest is minimal and who exercises no control over the affairs of a corporation
can satisfy this test. If the receipt of cash in lieu of a fractional share is not treated as capital gain or loss under the test
just described, it will be treated first as ordinary dividend income to the extent of a U.S. holder’s ratable share of our
current and accumulated earnings and profits, then as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the portion of the U.S. holder’s
adjusted tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split shares which is allocable to such fractional share, and any remaining amount
will be treated as capital gain.
Non-U.S.
Holders
If
the Reverse Stock Split constitutes recapitalization (as described above under the caption “-U.S. Holders”), non-U.S.
holders should similarly not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the reverse stock split (except
to the extent of cash received in lieu of a fractional share).
If
a non-U.S. holder receives cash in lieu of a fractional share, a non-U.S. holder generally should not be required to pay U.S.
federal income tax on any gain realized in respect of such fractional share unless:
|
●
|
the
gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax
treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the U.S.), in which
case the non-U.S. holder will be required to pay tax gain in respect of such fractional share (net of certain deductions or
credits) under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates, and for a non-U.S. holder that is a corporation, such non-U.S.
holder may be subject to a branch profits tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income
tax treaty; or
|
|
●
|
the
non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the
calendar year in which the exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares occurs and certain
other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder will be required to pay a flat 30% tax on the gain in respect
of such fractional share, which tax may be offset by U.S. source capital losses (even though the non-U.S. holder is not considered
a resident of the U.S.) subject to applicable income tax or other treaties providing otherwise.
|
A
non-U.S. holder should consult his, her or its tax advisor if the cash received in lieu of fractional shares does not constitute
a “meaningful reduction” in interest, as described above.
Board
Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split
If
the proposed Reverse Stock Split is approved at the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Board of Directors,
in its sole discretion, may determine to implement the Reverse Stock. Notwithstanding the approval of the Reverse Stock Split
at the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine
not to implement the Reverse Stock Split.
Transfer
Agent and Registrar
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Vstock Transfer, having an address at 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York
11598 and telephone number (212) 828-8436.
Consequences
if Proposal 1 Is Not Approved
Approval
of the Amendment to effect the proposed Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding common stock by the requisite vote is
necessary for us to consummate the proposed Offering, increase the trading price of our common stock and seek to uplist our common
stock to The NASDAQ Capital Market. In order to move forward with our business strategy, key initiatives and plans to grow our
business, we must raise additional funds and increase the price-per-share of our common stock. If Proposal 1 is not approved,
in all likelihood we would be unable to complete the contemplated Offering and we may be unable to obtain adequate capital to
expand our sales and marketing efforts, increase our product offerings and grow our business. Without such additional capital,
we may be required to scale back or eliminate some or all of our operations, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Vote
Required for Proposal 1
The
affirmative vote of each of the holders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock is required
to approve Proposal 1.
Recommendation
The
Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to file the Amendment in order to effect the Reverse Stock
Split of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock at the discretion of the Board of Directors at a ratio of not less
than 1-for-5 and not more than 1-for-25.
PROPOSAL NO. 2
APPROVAL
OF THE ADOPTION OF THE SPORTS FIELD HOLDINGS, INC. 2016 INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
Stockholders are being
asked to approve the 2016 Plan which was adopted by the Board on October 4, 2016. The 2016 Plan was designed by the
Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee“) with the assistance of management as part of
a comprehensive compensation strategy to provide long-term incentives for employees and non-employees to contribute to
the growth of the Company and attain specific performance goals. Approval of the 2016 Plan will allow the Company to award
stock options in the form of non-qualified and incentive options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock, to
employees and to non-employee directors, consultants and service providers. In determining the number of shares available
under the 2016 Plan, we considered, among other things, the potential dilution to stockholders. The 2,500,000 shares
available under the 2016 Plan represent 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock as of October 5,
2016. The Board of Directors believes the 2,500,000 shares that may be awarded under the 2016 Plan should be sufficient to
cover grants through at least the end of the fiscal year 2018.
We
are also seeking approval of the performance criteria under the 2016 Plan for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, which would allow certain awards granted under the 2016 Plan to qualify as performance-based compensation
(see discussion of Tax Consequences below).
The
purpose of awards under the 2016 Plan (see Award Types described below) is to attract and retain talented employees and the services
of select non-employees, further align employee and stockholder interests and closely link employee compensation with Company
performance.

|
Tax
Consequences
–
Stock option grants under the 2016 Plan may be intended to qualify as incentive stock
options under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC”) §422 or may be non-qualified stock options governed
by IRC §83. Generally, no federal income tax is payable by a participant upon the grant of a stock option and no deduction
is taken by the Company. Under current tax laws, if a participant exercises a non-qualified stock option, he or she will have
taxable income equal to the difference between the market price of the stock on the exercise date and the stock option grant price.
The Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction on its income tax return. A participant will have no taxable income
upon exercising an incentive stock option if the shares received are held for the applicable holding periods (except that alternative
minimum tax may apply), and the Company will receive no deduction when an incentive stock option is exercised. The Company may
be entitled to a deduction in the case of a disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option that occurs before
the applicable holding periods have been satisfied.
Restricted
stock and restricted stock units are also governed by IRC §83. Generally, no taxes are due when the award is made. Restricted
stock generally becomes taxable when it is no longer subject to a “substantial risk of forfeiture” (i.e., becomes
vested or transferable). Restricted stock units become taxable when settled. When taxable to the participant, income tax is paid
on the value of the stock or units at ordinary rates. The Company will generally be entitled to a corresponding deduction on its
income tax return. Any additional gain on shares received are then taxed at capital gains rates when the shares are sold.
The
grant of a stock appreciation right will not result in income for the participant or in a tax deduction for the Company. Upon
the settlement of such a right, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the aggregate value of the payment received,
and the Company generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.
Awards
granted under the 2016 Plan may qualify as “performance-based compensation” under IRC §162(m) and thus preserve
federal income tax deductions by the Company with respect to annual compensation required to be taken into account under §162(m)
that is in excess of $1 million and paid to one of the Company’s most highly compensated executive officers. To qualify,
options and other awards must be granted under the 2016 Plan by a committee consisting of two or more “outside directors”
(as defined under §162(m)) and options and stock appreciation rights must satisfy the 2016 Plan’s limit on the total
number of shares that may be awarded to any one participant during any fiscal year. In addition, for awards other than options
and stock appreciation rights to qualify, the grant, issuance, vesting or retention of the award must be contingent upon satisfying
one or more of the performance criteria, as established and certified by a committee consisting solely of two or more “outside
directors.” Certain awards that may be made under the 2016 Plan may not qualify as performance based compensation and that
performance-based compensation awards that are intended to be exempt from the deduction limitation may not meet the requirements
to qualify for such exemption.
The
foregoing is only a summary of the effect of federal income taxation on the participant and the Company under the 2016 Plan. It
does not purport to be complete and does not discuss the tax consequences arising in the context of a participant’s death
or the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country in which the participant’s income may be taxable.
Transferability
-
Awards
granted under the 2016 Plan generally are not transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Administration
-
The
Compensation Committee, which consists entirely of outside directors, will administer the 2016 Plan. The Compensation Committee
will select the employees and non-employees who receive awards, determine the number of shares covered thereby, and, subject to
the terms and limitations expressly set forth in the 2016 Plan, establish the terms, conditions and other provisions of the grants.
The Compensation Committee may interpret the 2016 Plan and establish, amend and rescind any of its rules relating to the 2016
Plan, unless expressly prohibited in the 2016 Plan.
Amendments
-
The
Board may, at any time, suspend or terminate the 2016 Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however,
that stockholder approval shall be required if and to the extent required by Exchange Act Rule 16b-3 or by any comparable or successor
exemption under which the Board believes it is appropriate for the 2016 Plan to qualify, or if and to the extent the Board determines
that such approval is appropriate for purposes of satisfying IRC §162(m), §422 or §409A or any applicable rule
or listing standard of any stock exchange, automated quotation system or similar organization. Nothing in the 2016 Plan restricts
the Compensation Committee’s ability to exercise its discretionary authority to administer the plan, which discretion may
be exercised without amendment to the 2016 Plan. No action may, without the consent of a participant, reduce the participant’s
rights under any outstanding award.

subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent the Committee determines such actions to
be necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached to the Plan as appendices); provided, however,
that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitation contained in Section 3(a) hereof; and (v) take any
action, before or after an Award is made, that the Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply
with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals.
SECTION 3.
STOCK
ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS; SUBSTITUTION
(a)
Stock
Issuable
. The maximum number of Shares reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 2,500,000 Shares, subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the Shares underlying any Awards that are forfeited,
canceled, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than
by exercise) shall be added back to the Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, Shares
may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award, and no more than 1,250,000 Shares may be issued
pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. The Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or
Shares reacquired by the Company. Beginning on the date that the Company becomes subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, (i) Options
with respect to no more than 175,000 Shares shall be granted to any one individual in any calendar year period and (ii) no more
than 175,000 Shares shall be granted to any one individual in any calendar year period. The value of any Shares granted to a non-employee
director of the Company, when added to any annual cash payments or awards, shall not exceed an aggregate value of two hundred thousand
dollars ($200,000) in any calendar year.
(b)
Changes
in Stock
. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the
outstanding Shares are increased or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities
of the Company, or additional Shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets
are distributed with respect to such Shares or other securities, in each case, without the receipt of consideration by the
Company, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, the outstanding Shares are converted into or exchanged for other securities of the Company or any successor entity
(or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Committee may make an appropriate and proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum
number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number and kind of Shares or other securities subject to any
then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iii) the repurchase price, if any, per Share subject to each outstanding Award, and
(iv) the exercise price for each Share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under the Plan, without changing the
aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options
remain exercisable. The Committee shall in any event make such adjustments as may be required by the laws of Nevada and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The adjustment by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. No
fractional Shares shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in its discretion may
make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.
(c)
Sale
Events
.
(i)
Options
.
(A)
In
the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Options and SARs issued hereunder shall
become one hundred percent (100%) vested upon the effective time of any such Sale Event. New stock options or other awards of the
successor entity or parent thereof shall be substituted therefor, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number
and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any
acceleration hereunder and/or pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement).
(B)
In
the event of the termination of the Plan and all outstanding Options and SARs issued hereunder pursuant to Section 3(c), each Holder
of Options shall be permitted, within a period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as specified by the Committee,
to exercise all such Options or SARs which are then exercisable or will become exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale
Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation
of the Sale Event.
(C)
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(i)(A), in the event of a Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Options, without any consent of the Holders, in exchange for the cancellation
thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value as determined by the Committee of the consideration payable
per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the number of Shares subject to outstanding
Options being cancelled (to the extent then vested and exercisable, including by reason of acceleration in connection with such
Sale Event, at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding vested and
exercisable Options.
(ii)
Restricted
Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards
.
(A)
In
the case of and subject to the consummation of a Sale Event, all unvested Restricted Stock and unvested Restricted Stock Unit Awards
issued hereunder shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested, with an equitable or proportionate adjustment as to the number
and kind of shares subject to such awards as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder and/or
pursuant to the terms of any Award Agreement).
(B)
Such
Restricted Stock shall be repurchased from the Holder thereof at the then Fair Market Value of such shares, (subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 3(b)) for such Shares.
(C)
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 3(c)(ii)(A), in the event of a Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to make or provide for a cash payment to the Holders of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Awards, without consent of the
Holders, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the Sale Price times the number of Shares subject to such
Awards, to be paid at the time of such Sale Event or upon the later vesting of such Awards.
SECTION 4.
ELIGIBILITY
Grantees under the Plan will be
such full or part-time officers and other employees, directors, Consultants and key persons of the Company and any Subsidiary who
are selected from time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that Awards shall be granted only to
those individuals described in Rule 701(c) of the Securities Act.
SECTION 5.
STOCK OPTIONS
Upon the grant of a Stock Option,
the Company and the grantee shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be
determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. In the event an Award is granted under the Plan absent an Award Agreement, the Award will be governed
by the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Stock Options granted under the
Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees
of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code.
To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(a)
Terms
of Stock Options
. The Committee in its discretion may grant Stock Options to those individuals who meet the eligibility requirements
of Section 4. Stock Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable.
(i)
Exercise
Price
. The exercise price per share for the Shares covered by a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time
of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the exercise price per share for the Shares covered by such Incentive Stock Option shall
not be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.
(ii)
Option
Term
. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten
years from the Grant Date. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock
Option shall be no more than five years from the Grant Date.
(iii)
Exercisability;
Rights of a Stockholder
. Stock Options shall become exercisable and/or vested at such time or times, whether or not in installments,
as shall be determined by the Committee at or after the Grant Date. The Award Agreement may permit a grantee to exercise all or
a portion of a Stock Option immediately at grant; provided that the Shares issued upon such exercise shall be subject to restrictions
and a vesting schedule identical to the vesting schedule of the related Stock Option, such Shares shall be deemed to be Restricted
Stock for purposes of the Plan, and the optionee may be required to enter into an additional or new Award Agreement as a condition
to exercise of such Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares acquired upon the exercise
of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. An optionee shall not be deemed to have acquired any Shares unless and
until a Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement and this Plan and the optionee’s
name has been entered on the books of the Company as a stockholder.
(iv)
Method
of Exercise
. Stock Options may be exercised by an optionee in whole or in part, by the optionee giving written or electronic
notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by
one or more of the following methods (or any combination thereof) to the extent provided in the Award Agreement:
(A)
In
cash, by certified or bank check, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or other instrument acceptable to the Committee;
(B)
If
permitted by the Committee, by the optionee delivering to the Company a promissory note, if the Board has expressly authorized
the loan of funds to the optionee for the purpose of enabling or assisting the optionee to effect the exercise of his or her Stock
Option; provided, that at least so much of the exercise price as represents the par value of the Stock shall be paid in cash if
required by state law;
(C)
If
permitted by the Committee, through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of Shares that have been purchased by the optionee
on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan.
To the extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under applicable accounting rules, such surrendered Shares if originally
purchased from the Company shall have been owned by the optionee for at least six months. Such surrendered Shares shall be valued
at Fair Market Value on the exercise date;
(D)
If
permitted by the Committee and by the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable
instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase
price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall
comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as
a condition of such payment procedure; or
(E)
If
permitted by the Committee, and only with respect to Stock Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, by a “net exercise”
arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of
Shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.
Payment instruments will be received
subject to collection. No certificates for Shares so purchased will be issued to the optionee or, with respect to uncertificated
Stock, no transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company will take place, until the Company has completed all steps it
has deemed necessary to satisfy legal requirements relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares, which steps may include, without
limitation, (i) receipt of a representation from the optionee at the time of exercise of the Option that the optionee is purchasing
the Shares for the optionee’s own account and not with a view to any sale or distribution of the Shares or other representations
relating to compliance with applicable law governing the issuance of securities, (ii) the legending of the certificate (or notation
on any book entry) representing the Shares to evidence the foregoing restrictions, and (iii) obtaining from optionee payment or
provision for all withholding taxes due as a result of the exercise of the Option. The delivery of certificates representing the
shares of Stock (or the transfer to the optionee on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated Stock) to be purchased
pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon (A) receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his
or her stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such Shares and
the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws and (B) if required
by the Company, the optionee shall have entered into any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain
other of the Company’s stockholders relating to the Stock. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by
previously-owned Shares through the attestation method, the number of Shares transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the
Stock Option shall be net of the number of Shares attested to by the optionee.
(b)
Annual
Limit on Incentive Stock Options
. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422
of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Grant Date) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options granted under the Plan and any other plan of the Company or its parent and any Subsidiary that become exercisable for the
first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000 or such other limit as may be in effect from time
to time under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified
Stock Option.
(c)
Termination
.
Any portion of a Stock Option that is not vested and exercisable on the date of termination of an optionee’s Service Relationship
shall immediately expire and be null and void. Once any portion of the Stock Option becomes vested and exercisable, the optionee’s
right to exercise such portion of the Stock Option (or the optionee’s representatives and legatees as applicable) in the
event of a termination of the optionee’s Service Relationship shall continue until the earliest of: (i) the date which is:
(A) 12 months following the date on which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates due to death or Disability (or such
longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or (B) three months following
the date on which the optionee’s Service Relationship terminates if the termination is due to any reason other than death
or Disability (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement), or
(ii) the Expiration Date set forth in the Award Agreement; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Award Agreement may
provide that if the optionee’s Service Relationship is terminated for Cause, the Stock Option shall terminate immediately
and be null and void upon the date of the optionee’s termination and shall not thereafter be exercisable.
SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION
RIGHTS.
The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to optionees with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms
and conditions, in either case not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine –
(a) SARs may be granted under the Plan to optionees either alone or in addition
to other Awards granted under the Plan and may, but need not, relate to specific Option granted under Section 5.
(b) The
exercise price per Share under a SAR shall be determined by the Committee, provided, however, that except in the case of a
substitute Award, such exercise price shall not be less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant of such
SAR.
(c) The
term of each SAR shall be fixed by the Committee but shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant of such SAR.
(d) The
Committee shall determine the time or times at which a SAR may be exercised or settled in whole or in part. Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee or unless otherwise set forth in an Award Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 5 above with respect
to exercise of an Award following termination of service shall apply to any SAR. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement
that an “in-the-money” SAR shall be automatically exercised on its expiration date.
SECTION 7.
RESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS
(a)
Nature
of Restricted Stock Awards
. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such other purchase price
determined by the Committee) to an eligible individual under Section 4 hereof a Restricted Stock Award under the Plan. The Committee
shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the time of grant. Conditions may
be based on the type of stock upon which restrictions are placed, continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement
of pre-established performance goals and objectives and/or such other criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of
a Restricted Stock Award, the Company and the grantee shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such
Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.
(b)
Rights
as a Stockholder
. Upon the grant of the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee of Restricted
Stock shall be considered the record owner of and shall be entitled to vote the Restricted Stock if, and to the extent, such Shares
are entitled to voting rights, subject to such conditions contained in the Award Agreement. The grantee shall be entitled to receive
all dividends and any other distributions declared on the Shares; provided, however, that the Company is under no duty to declare
any such dividends or to make any such distribution. Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, certificates evidencing the
Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in subsection
(d) below of this Section, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power
endorsed in blank and such other instruments of transfer as the Committee may prescribe.
(c)
Restrictions
.
Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically
provided herein or in the Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or,
subject to Section 12 below, in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, if a grantee’s Service Relationship with the
Company and any Subsidiary terminates, the Company or its assigns shall have the right, as may be specified in the relevant instrument,
to repurchase some or all of the Shares subject to the Award at such purchase price as is set forth in the Award Agreement.
(d)
Vesting
of Restricted Stock
. The Committee at the time of grant shall specify in the Award Agreement the date or dates and/or the attainment
of pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the substantial risk of forfeiture imposed shall
lapse and the Restricted Stock shall become vested, subject to such further rights of the Company or its assigns as may be specified
in the Award Agreement.
SECTION 8.
UNRESTRICTED
STOCK AWARDS
The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
grant (or sell at par value or such other purchase price determined by the Committee) to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof
an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other valid
consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.
SECTION 9.
RESTRICTED STOCK
UNITS
(a)
Nature
of Restricted Stock Units
. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, grant to an eligible person under Section 4 hereof Restricted
Stock Units under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Unit
at the time of grant. Vesting conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other Service Relationship), achievement of
pre-established performance goals and objectives which may be based on targets for revenue, revenue growth, EBITDA, net income,
earnings per share and/or other such criteria as the Committee may determine. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the grantee
and the Company shall enter into an Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each such Award Agreement shall be determined
by the Committee and may differ among individual Awards and grantees. On or promptly following the vesting date or dates applicable
to any Restricted Stock Unit, but in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year in which such vesting occurs,
such Restricted Stock Unit(s) shall be settled in the form of cash or shares of Stock, as specified in the Award Agreement. Restricted
Stock Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of.
(b)
Rights
as a Stockholder
. A grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to Shares, if any, acquired upon settlement of Restricted
Stock Units. A grantee shall not be deemed to have acquired any such Shares unless and until the Restricted Stock Units shall have
been settled in Shares pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement, the Company shall have issued and delivered a
certificate representing the Shares to the grantee (or transferred on the records of the Company with respect to uncertificated
stock), and the grantee’s name has been entered in the books of the Company as a stockholder.
(c)
Termination
.
Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or in writing after the Award Agreement is issued,
a grantee’s right in all Restricted Stock Units that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee’s
cessation of Service Relationship with the Company and any Subsidiary for any reason.
SECTION 10.
TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS; COMPANY RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL; COMPANY REPURCHASE RIGHTS
(a)
Restrictions
on Transfer
.
(i)
Non-Transferability
of Stock Options
. Restricted Stock awards granted under Section 7, Stock Options, SARs and, prior to exercise, the Shares issuable
upon exercise of such Stock Option, shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent
and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee, or by
the optionee’s legal representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement regarding a given Stock Option or Restricted Stock award
that the optionee may transfer by gift, without consideration for the transfer, his or her Non-Qualified Stock Options to his or
her family members (as defined in Rule 701 of the Securities Act), to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships
in which such family members are the only partners (to the extent such trusts or partnerships are considered “family members”
for purposes of Rule 701 of the Securities Act), provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by
all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement, including the execution of a stock power upon
the issuance of Shares. Stock Options, SARs and the Shares issuable upon exercise of such Stock Options, shall be restricted as
to any pledge, hypothecation, or other transfer, including any short position, any “put equivalent position” (as defined
in the Exchange Act) or any “call equivalent position” (as defined in the Exchange Act) prior to exercise.
(ii)
Shares
.
No Shares shall be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, given away or in any other manner disposed of or encumbered,
whether voluntarily or by operation of law, unless the transfer is in compliance with the terms of the applicable Award Agreement,
all applicable securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act), and with the terms and conditions of this
Section 10. In connection with any proposed transfer, the Committee may require the transferor to provide at the transferor’s
own expense an opinion of counsel to the transferor, satisfactory to the Committee, that such transfer is in compliance with all
foreign, federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, the Securities Act). Any attempted transfer of Shares
not in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 10 shall be null and void, and the Company shall not reflect on
its records any change in record ownership of any Shares as a result of any such transfer, shall otherwise refuse to recognize
any such transfer and shall not in any way give effect to any such transfer of Shares. The Company shall be entitled to seek protective
orders, injunctive relief and other remedies available at law or in equity including, without limitation, seeking specific performance
or the rescission of any transfer not made in strict compliance with the provisions of this Section 10. Subject to the foregoing
general provisions, and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, Shares may be transferred pursuant to the
following specific terms and conditions (provided that with respect to any transfer of Restricted Stock, all vesting and forfeiture
provisions shall continue to apply with respect to the original recipient):
(A)
Transfers
to Permitted Transferees
. The Holder may transfer any or all of the Shares to one or more Permitted Transferees; provided,
however, that following such transfer, such Shares shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan (including this Section
10) and such Permitted Transferee(s) shall, as a condition to any such transfer, deliver a written acknowledgment to that effect
to the Company and shall deliver a stock power to the Company with respect to the Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder
may not transfer any of the Shares to a Person whom the Company reasonably determines is a direct competitor or a potential competitor
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(B)
Transfers
Upon Death
. Upon the death of the Holder, any Shares then held by the Holder at the time of such death and any Shares acquired
after the Holder’s death by the Holder’s legal representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan, and
the Holder’s estate, executors, administrators, personal representatives, heirs, legatees and distributees shall be obligated
to convey such Shares to the Company or its assigns under the terms contemplated by the Plan and the Award Agreement.
(b)
Right
of First Refusal
. In the event that a Holder desires at any time to sell or otherwise transfer all or any part of his or her
Shares (other than shares of Restricted Stock which by their terms are not transferrable), the Holder first shall give written
notice to the Company of the Holder’s intention to make such transfer. Such notice shall state the number of Shares that
the Holder proposes to sell (the “Offered Shares”), the price and the terms at which the proposed sale is to be made
and the name and address of the proposed transferee. At any time within 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the Company,
the Company or its assigns may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Shares at the price and on the terms offered
by the proposed transferee and specified in the notice. The Company or its assigns shall exercise this right by mailing or delivering
written notice to the Holder within the foregoing 30-day period. If the Company or its assigns elect to exercise its purchase rights
under this Section 10(b), the closing for such purchase shall, in any event, take place within 45 days after the receipt by the
Company of the initial notice from the Holder. In the event that the Company or its assigns do not elect to exercise such purchase
right, or in the event that the Company or its assigns do not pay the full purchase price within such 45-day period, the Holder
shall be required to pay a transaction processing fee of $10,000 to the Company (unless waived by the Committee) and then may,
within 60 days thereafter, sell the Offered Shares to the proposed transferee and at the same price and on the same terms as specified
in the Holder’s notice. Any Shares not sold to the proposed transferee shall remain subject to the Plan. If the Holder is
a party to any stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain other of the Company’s stockholders
relating to the Shares, (i) the transferring Holder shall comply with the requirements of such stockholders agreements or other
agreements relating to any proposed transfer of the Offered Shares, and (ii) any proposed transferee that purchases Offered Shares
shall enter into such stockholders agreements or other agreements with the Company and/or certain of the Company’s stockholders
relating to the Offered Shares on the same terms and in the same capacity as the transferring Holder.
(c)
Company’s
Right of Repurchase
.
(i)
Right
of Repurchase for Unvested Shares Issued Upon the Exercise of an Option
. Upon a Termination Event, the Company or its assigns
shall have the right and option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares acquired upon exercise of a Stock Option which is still subject
to a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event. Such repurchase rights may be exercised by the Company within the later of
(A) six months following the date of such Termination Event or (B) seven months after the acquisition of Shares upon exercise of
a Stock Option. The repurchase price shall be equal to the lower of the original per share price paid by the Holder, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the date the Company
elects to exercise its repurchase rights.
(ii)
Right
of Repurchase With Respect to Restricted Stock
. Upon a Termination Event, the Company or its assigns shall have the right and
option to repurchase from a Holder of Shares received pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award any Shares that are still subject to
a risk of forfeiture as of the Termination Event. Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company within six months following
the date of such Termination Event. The repurchase price shall be the lower of the original per share purchase price paid by the
Holder, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the current Fair Market Value of such Shares as of the
date the Company elects to exercise its repurchase rights.
(iii)
Procedure
.
Any repurchase right of the Company shall be exercised by the Company or its assigns by giving the Holder written notice on or
before the last day of the repurchase period of its intention to exercise such repurchase right. Upon such notification, the Holder
shall promptly surrender to the Company, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances, any certificates representing the Shares
being purchased, together with a duly executed stock power for the transfer of such Shares to the Company or the Company’s
assignee or assignees. Upon the Company’s or its assignee’s receipt of the certificates from the Holder, the Company
or its assignee or assignees shall deliver to him, her or them a check for the applicable repurchase price; provided, however,
that the Company may pay the repurchase price by offsetting and canceling any indebtedness then owed by the Holder to the Company.
(d)
Escrow
Arrangement
.
(i)
Escrow
. In order to carry out the provisions of this Section 10 of this Plan more effectively, the Company
may, at its sole and absolute discretion, hold any unvested Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan in escrow together
with separate stock powers executed by the Holder in blank for transfer. The Company shall not dispose of the unvested Shares except
as otherwise provided in this Plan. In the event of any repurchase by the Company (or any of its assigns), the Company is hereby
authorized by the Holder, as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact, to date and complete the stock powers necessary for the transfer
of the unvested Shares being purchased and to transfer such unvested Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. At such time as
any unvested Shares are no longer subject to the Company’s repurchase rights, the Company shall, at the written request of
the Holder, deliver to the Holder a certificate representing such unvested Shares with the balance of the unvested Shares to be
held in escrow pursuant to this Section.
(ii)
Remedy
.
Without limitation of any other provision of this Plan or other rights, in the event that a Holder or any other Person is required
to sell a Holder’s Shares pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10(b) or (c) hereof and in the further event that he or she
refuses or for any reason fails to deliver to the Company or its designated purchaser of such Shares the certificate or certificates
evidencing such Shares together with a related stock power, the Company or such designated purchaser may deposit the applicable
purchase price for such Shares with a bank designated by the Company, or with the Company’s independent public accounting
firm, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Holder or other Person, to be held by such bank or accounting firm for the benefit
of and for delivery to him, her, them or it, and/or, in its discretion, pay such purchase price by offsetting any indebtedness
then owed by such Holder as provided above. Upon any such deposit and/or offset by the Company or its designated purchaser of such
amount and upon notice to the Person who was required to sell the Shares to be sold pursuant to the provisions of Sections 10(b)
or (c), such Shares shall at such time be deemed to have been sold, assigned, transferred and conveyed to such purchaser, such
Holder shall have no further rights thereto (other than the right to withdraw the payment thereof held in escrow, if applicable),
and the Company shall record such transfer in its stock transfer book or in any appropriate manner.
(e)
Lockup
Provision
. If requested by the Company, a Holder shall not sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Shares (including,
without limitation, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) held by him or her for such period following the effective date
of a public offering by the Company of Shares as the Company shall specify reasonably and in good faith. If requested by the underwriter
engaged by the Company, each Holder shall execute a separate letter confirming his or her agreement to comply with this Section.
(f)
Adjustments
for Changes in Capital Structure
. If, as a result of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Common Stock, the outstanding Shares are increased
or decreased or are exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the Company, the restrictions contained in this
Section 10 shall apply with equal force to additional and/or substitute securities, if any, received by Holder in exchange
for, or by virtue of his or her ownership of, Shares.
(g)
Termination
.
The terms and provisions of Section 10(b) and Section 10(c) (except for the Company’s right to repurchase Shares still subject
to a risk of forfeiture upon a Termination Event) shall terminate upon consummation of any Sale Event, in either case as a result
of which Shares are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and publicly-traded on any national security exchange.
SECTION 11.
TAX
WITHHOLDING
(a)
Payment
by Grantee
. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Shares or other amounts
received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or
make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind required by
law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The Company and any Subsidiary shall, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s obligation
to deliver stock certificates (or evidence of book entry) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on any such tax withholding
obligations being satisfied by the grantee.
(b)
Payment
in Stock
. The Company’s minimum required tax withholding obligation may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by the Company
withholding from Shares to be issued pursuant to an Award a number of Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date
the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.
SECTION 12.
SECTION 409A
AWARDS
.
To the extent that any Award is
determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A (a “409A Award”),
the Award shall be subject to such additional rules and requirements as may be specified by the Committee from time to time. In
this regard, if any amount under a 409A Award is payable upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section
409A) to a grantee who is considered a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then no such payment
shall be made prior to the date that is the earlier of (i) six months and one day after the grantee’s separation from service,
or (ii) the grantee’s death, but only to the extent such delay is necessary to prevent such payment from being subject to
interest, penalties and/or additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A. The Company makes no representation or warranty and
shall have no liability to any grantee under the Plan or any other Person with respect to any penalties or taxes under Section
409A that are, or may be, imposed with respect to any Award.
SECTION 13.
AMENDMENTS AND
TERMINATION
The Board may, at any time, amend
or discontinue the Plan and the Committee may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of satisfying
changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without
the consent of the holder of the Award. The Committee may exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Stock
Options or effect repricing through cancellation of outstanding Stock Options and by granting such holders new Awards in replacement
of the cancelled Stock Options. To the extent determined by the Committee to be required either by the Code to ensure that Incentive
Stock Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or otherwise, Plan amendments shall be subject
to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit the
Board’s or Committee’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c). The Board reserves the right
to amend the Plan and/or the terms of any outstanding Stock Options to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements
of the exemption pursuant to paragraph (0(4) of Rule 12h-1 of the Exchange Act.
SECTION 14.
STATUS OF
PLAN
With respect to the portion of any
Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a grantee shall
have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly so determine
in connection with any Award.
SECTION 15.
GENERAL
PROVISIONS
(a)
No
Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements
. The Committee may require each person acquiring Shares pursuant to an Award
to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof.
No Shares shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar
requirements have been satisfied. The Committee may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates
for Stock and Awards, as it deems appropriate.
(b)
Delivery
of Stock Certificates
. Stock certificates to grantees under the Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the
Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to
