 proxy materials for the 2026 annual meeting.

If a shareholder wishes to present a shareholder proposal at our next annual meeting that is not intended to be included in the Proxy Statement, we must receive such proposal within a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials in connection with such annual meeting. Under Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, which governs our use of discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to shareholder proposals that are not included in our proxy solicitation materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, if we do not receive the shareholder’s notice of intent to present such a proposal at our 2026 annual meeting within a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials in connection with such annual meeting, then our management proxies will have the right to exercise their discretionary authority in connection with the matter submitted by the shareholders, without discussion of the matter in the Proxy Statement. However, if the date of our 2026 annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, then notice will need to be received by us not earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or, in the event public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by us fewer than 70 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which we made the first public announcement of the date of such meeting.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements under the Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules under the Exchange Act, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominee other than TOMI’s nominees for the 2026 annual meeting must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than September 20, 2026. However, if the date of the 2026 annual meeting of shareholders is more than 30 calendar days before or more than 30 calendar days after the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting, such information must be provided by the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10th day following the public announcement of the date of such meeting.

Any proposal must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC for such proposal to be included in our Proxy Statement
