**ABOUT LASER PHOTONICS CORPORATION**

We are pioneering a new generation of laser blasting technologies focused on disrupting the sandblasting and abrasives blasting markets. We offer a full portfolio of integrated laser blasting solutions for corrosion control, rust removal, de-coating, pre- and post-welding, laser cleaning and surface conditioning. Our solutions span use cases throughout product lifecycles, from product fabrication to maintenance and repair, as well as aftermarket operations. Our laser blasting solutions are applicable in every industry dealing with materials processing, including automotive, aerospace, healthcare, consumer products, shipbuilding, aerospace, heavy industry, machine manufacturing, nuclear maintenance and de-commissioning and surface coating.

Our vertically integrated operations allow us to reduce development and advanced laser equipment manufacturing time, offer better prices, control quality and protect our proprietary know-how and technology compared to other laser cleaning companies and companies with competing technologies.

We initiated our sales efforts in December 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated sales of $8.3 million, compared to $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. We are strategically positioned to drive growth and innovation in the laser technology market by targeting three key customer segments: government entities, Fortune 1000 companies, and medium/small businesses. Each of these segments presents unique opportunities and challenges, and our business model is designed to cater specifically to the needs and growth potential within each category.

For government entities, we provide highly specialized laser solutions that meet stringent regulatory and performance standards. This segment benefits from our expertise in delivering reliable, durable, and effective laser systems for various applications, from defense and aerospace to public infrastructure projects. Working with government clients not only solidifies our reputation as a trusted provider of advanced laser technology but also paves the way for new contracts and collaborative projects. One of our current projects is the Laser Shield Anti-Drone System ("LSAD"), a joint development with our affiliate, Fonon Drone Shield Solutions, Inc., to create a laser defense system to serve as an immediate response defense system for addressing the threat of small-scale unmanned aerial systems in conflict zones and expeditionary locations. We successfully completed a test of the LSAD prototype at our Orlando facility.

Fortune 1000 companies represent another critical segment, where our laser technology can significantly enhance operational efficiency, precision, and productivity. By addressing the unique challenges of large-scale industrial applications, we position ourselves as an essential partner in the innovation strategies of these corporations. Our advanced laser solutions help these clients stay competitive and maintain high-quality standards, driving repeat business and fostering long-term partnerships.

Medium and small businesses constitute the third pivotal segment of our customer base. Recognizing the distinct needs and constraints of this market, we launched the Service Partner Network (SPN). This initiative is designed to empower medium and small businesses by providing them access to mobile demonstration units, enabling them to experience the advantages of our laser technology firsthand. The SPN serves a dual purpose: it facilitates immediate equipment sales and acts as a catalyst for demonstrating the practical benefits and capabilities of our products.

Through the SPN, we also support entrepreneurs looking to start their own mobile laser cleaning or rental service businesses. Our marketing team plays a crucial role in this ecosystem by generating and distributing leads to SPN members for a fee, thereby creating a continuous revenue stream. This collaborative approach not only bolsters the success of our SPN partners but also promotes sustained long-term revenue growth for us.

By strategically targeting these three customer segments and leveraging the SPN to enhance our market penetration and product visibility, we believe we are well-positioned for robust growth. Our comprehensive business model not only enhances customer engagement and satisfaction across diverse markets but also solidifies our standing as an innovative leader in the laser technology industry.

We market our products globally through our direct sales force which is located in the United States.

On May 21, 2024, we entered into a license agreement with Fonon Drone Shield Solutions, Inc, controlled by ICT Investments LLC, the largest shareholder of the Company, to receive an exclusive, worldwide, sublicensable license to its laser material processing equipment and technology, including all applications of laser cutting, marking, engraving, laser welding, brazing, ablation, laser drilling, semiconductor chip marking, semiconductor and flat panel display laser processing equipment, all other laser material processing equipment documented or existing in a form of know-how and/or trade secrets in return for 3,000,000 restricted shares of our Common Stock..

Business may not be conducted at the Special Meeting unless a quorum is present. Under the Bylaws of the Company (the "Bylaws"), the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least one-third of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders.

**What are the voting rights of shareholders? How many votes do I have?**

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share owned on each matter that is properly brought before the Special Meeting and on which our common shareholders are entitled to vote.

**Why did you provide me this Proxy Statement? Who is soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting with this Proxy Statement?**

We provided you this Proxy Statement because you were a holder of our Common Stock as of the Record Date, and the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote your stock at the Special Meeting on all matters scheduled to come before the Special Meeting, whether or not you attend the Special Meeting. By completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card and voting instruction form, or by submitting your proxy and voting instructions via the Internet or by fax, you are authorizing the proxy holders to vote your shares of our Common Stock at the Special Meeting as you have instructed.

Under applicable SEC rules and regulations, members of the Board, the Board's directors, director nominees and certain officers of the Company are "participants" with respect to the Company's solicitation of proxies in connection with the Special Meeting.

**What is a proxy?**

A proxy is your legal designation of another person or persons (the "proxy") to vote on your behalf. By voting your proxy via the Internet, fax, or, by mailing a proxy using the instructions detailed on the Notice that you received in the mail, you are giving the Company's designated proxy holder, Wayne Tupuola, the authority to vote your shares in the manner you indicate on your proxy card. This proxy statement includes information that we are required to provide to you under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") rules and that is designed to assist you in voting your shares.

**What is the difference between a shareholder of record and a "street name" holder?**

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, you are considered the shareholder of record, or a registered holder, with respect to those shares.

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee (in street name"), you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares.

Your broker, bank or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction form for you to use in directing your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. You must follow these instructions for your shares to be voted. Your broker is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. We urge you to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee, by following the instructions on the enclosed voting instruction form, to vote your shares in line with our Board's recommendations on the voting instruction form.

**What if I have shares registered in my name AND also have shares in a brokerage account? How do I vote my shares?**

Shares that you hold in street name are not included in the total number of shares set forth on your proxy card. Your broker, bank or other nominee will send you instructions on how to vote those shares.

**How do shareholders vote?**

If your shares are held directly in your own name, and you received printed or electronic copies of the proxy materials, you may vote your shares by proxy in advance of the Special Meeting using the control number included on your proxy card in order to be able to vote your shares. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote by doing one of the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ![](formdef14a_002.jpg) | <u>Vote via the Internet</u>: You can vote your shares via the Internet by going to the website address for Internet voting indicated on your proxy card. |
| ![](formdef14a_003.jpg) | <u>Vote by Fax</u>: You can vote your shares by fax by completing, signing, dating and faxing your proxy card to the fax number indicated on your proxy card. |
| ![](formdef14a_004.jpg) | <u>Vote by Mail</u>: You can vote your shares by mail by completing, signing, dating and returning your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. |

---

If you are a beneficial owner, or you hold your shares in "street name," please follow the instructions provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record with respect to voting your shares. Please see the section below "How can I vote at the Special Meeting?" for more information about how to vote at the Special Meeting if you hold your shares in "street name".

Shareholders may also vote by ballot while attending the virtual Special Meeting. Please see the section below "How can I vote at the Special Meeting?" for instructions about how to attend and vote by ballot at the Special Meeting. However, we still encourage all shareholders to vote their shares in advance of the Special Meeting, in case they are unable to attend the Special Meeting for any reason.

**What shares are included on a proxy or voting instruction card?**

Each proxy or voting instruction card represents the shares registered to you as of the close of business on the Record Date. You may receive more than one proxy or voting instruction card if you hold your shares in multiple accounts, some of your shares are registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, or some of your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank or other nominee. Please vote the shares on each proxy card or voting instruction card to ensure that all of your shares are counted at the Special Meeting.

**I have shares registered in my name, and also have shares in a brokerage account. How do I vote those shares?**

Shares that you hold in street name are not included in the total number of shares set forth on your proxy card. Your broker, bank or other nominee will send you instructions on how to vote those shares.

**What is the deadline for voting?**

The deadline for voting electronically is 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 25, 2026. If voting by mail, we must have received your proxy card by this time. If you attend the Special Meeting virtually, you may vote your shares electronically during the meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we still encourage you to vote your shares ahead of time to ensure your voice is heard.

**How can I vote at the Special Meeting?**

Shareholders of record may vote their shares electronically at the Special Meeting by following the instructions at <u>https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/go/lase2026sgm</u> or by following the instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card.

Even if you plan to attend the virtual Special Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares on the proxy card by Internet, fax or mail prior to the Special Meeting.

The Company is incorporated under Delaware law, which specifically permits electronically transmitted proxies, provided that each such proxy contains or is submitted with information from which the inspector of election can determine that such proxy was authorized by the shareholder. The electronic voting procedures provided for the Special Meeting are designed to authenticate each shareholder by the use of a control number to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

If you were the beneficial owner of shares (that is, you held your shares in "street name" through an intermediary such as a broker, bank or other nominee) as of the Record Date, you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares or submit a proxy to have your shares voted. In most cases, you will be able to do this by mail, via the Internet or by fax. Alternatively, you may obtain a "legal proxy" from your broker, bank or other nominee and register in advance to attend the Special Meeting at <u>https://edge.media-server.com/mmc/go/lase2026sgm</u> prior to the Special Meeting.

**If a shareholder gives a proxy, how are the shares voted?**

The shares represented by the proxy card that is properly executed and received by the Company prior to or at the Special Meeting will be voted in accordance with the specifications made on the card, whether it is returned by mail, fax, or Internet.

If you sign and return your proxy card, but do not give voting instructions, your shares will be voted by the persons named as proxies on your proxy card on each matter in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is made by the Board of Directors, in the discretion of the proxies.

**What is the effect of a broker non-vote on the proposals to be voted on?**

Under the rules that govern brokers and nominees who have record ownership of shares that are held in "street name" for account holders (who are the beneficial owners of the shares), brokers and nominees generally have discretionary authority to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on other matters. Accordingly, brokers and nominees will not have discretionary authority to vote on the approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements.

If a broker or nominee has not received voting instructions from an account holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote shares on a particular item, a "broker non-vote" occurs.

Our Board is not aware of any matters that are expected to come before the Special Meeting other than the proposals described in this proxy statement. If any other matter is presented at the Special Meeting upon which a vote may be properly taken, shares represented by the proxy cards received by the Company will be voted with respect thereto at the discretion of the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card.

**Will my shares be voted if I do nothing, or if I do not vote for some of the proposals listed on my proxy card?**

If your shares are registered in your name, you must sign and return a proxy card for your shares to be voted, unless you vote via the Internet, by fax, or attend and vote at the Special Meeting. If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed. If you execute the proxy card and do not provide voting instructions on any matter, your shares will be voted in accordance with our Board's recommendations on that matter. We urge you to sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided, or vote via the Internet or by fax as instructed on the proxy card, whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in "street name" (that is, held for your account by a broker, bank or other nominee), you will receive voting instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee. You must follow these instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Your broker is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. We urge you to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee, by following the instructions on the enclosed proxy card, to vote your shares in accordance with our Board's recommendations, whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting.

**Can I change my vote after I have voted?**

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Special Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy by:

● Delivering written notice to Michael Lockey, the Company's Controller, that is received before the Special Meeting;

● Submitting a later dated proxy over the Internet or by fax in accordance with the instructions in the proxy card; or

● Voting your shares electronically during the Special Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

**WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE SPECIAL MEETING, WE URGE YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED, OR VOTE VIA THE INTERNET OR BY FAX AS INSTRUCTED ON THE PROXY CARD "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE WARRANT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENTs.**

**What should I do if I receive more than one proxy card or other sets of proxy materials from the Company?**

If your shares are held in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card, and in that case, you can and are urged to vote all of your shares "**FOR**" approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements by signing, dating and returning all proxy cards you receive from the Company in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you choose to vote by fax or via the Internet, please vote "**FOR**" approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements using each proxy card you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Only your latest dated proxy for each account will count. Please sign each proxy card exactly as your name or names appear on the proxy card. For joint accounts, each owner should sign the proxy card. When signing as an executor, administrator, attorney, trustee, guardian or other representative, please print your full name and title on the proxy card.

**What vote is required to approve each proposal at the Special Meeting?**

A majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting is required for approval of each proposal. For approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements, shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting that are not voted for approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements or shares present by proxy where the shareholder properly withheld authority to vote for approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements will not be counted toward a majority of shares needed to approval of the Warrant Inducement Agreements. For the other proposals, abstentions are considered shares present and entitled to vote on the proposal, and, thus, will have the same effect as a vote "Against" such proposal. Broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.

***Other Matters*:** Approval of any other matter that comes before the Special Meeting generally will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of capital stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, although a different number of affirmative votes may be required, depending on the nature of such matter.

**Who will count the votes?**

Equiniti Trust Company LLC will serve as the independent inspector of election (the "Inspector of Election") and, in such capacity, will count and tabulate the votes.

**Where can I find the voting results of the Special Meeting?**

We will report voting results based on the Inspector of Election's final, certified report on a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC within four business days after the Special Meeting.

**If I can't attend the Special Meeting, can I vote later?**

We encourage shareholders to vote and submit their proxy in advance of the Special Meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials, regardless of whether you think you will be able to attend the Special Meeting. Any votes submitted after the closing of the polls at the Special Meeting will not be counted.

**What happens if the Special Meeting is adjourned?**

Unless a new Record Date is fixed, your proxy will still be valid and may be used to vote shares of our Common Stock at the adjourned Special Meeting. You will still be able to change or revoke your proxy until it is used to vote your shares.

**Do I have any dissenters' or appraisal rights with respect to any of the matters to be voted upon at the Special Meeting?**

No. Delaware law does not provide shareholders any dissenters' or appraisal rights with respect to the matters to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

**How do I request a paper copy of the proxy materials?**

The proxy materials are posted on our website at www.laserphotonics.com and are available from the SEC at its website www.sec.gov.

**THE PROXY CARD WILL BE VOTED AS DIRECTED OR, IF NO DIRECTION IS GIVEN, WILL BE VOTED "FOR" AAPROVAL OF THE WARRANT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENTS. THE COMPANY'S NAMED PROXIES ARE AUTHORIZED TO VOTE IN THEIR DISCRETION UPON SUCH OTHER BUSINESS NOT KNOWN AS MAY PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE SPECIAL MEETING OR ANY ADJOURNMENTS THEREOF.**

The Audit Committee discussed with management and the independent auditor the Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Audit Committee discussed with Weinberg & Company, P.A. ("Weinberg & Co."), the Company's independent auditor for the 2025 fiscal year, matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. The Audit Committee received written disclosures and letters from Weinberg & Co. and discussed their independence from management and the Company. Based upon the reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the previously mentioned audit financial statements should be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

**EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

**Compensation Philosophy**

The following is a discussion and analysis of our underlying our policies and decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers and what we believe are the most important factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. We are currently considered a "smaller reporting company" for purposes of the SEC's executive compensation disclosure rules. Our only "named executive officers" for 2024 and 2025 were Wayne Tupuola, Carlos Sardinas and John Armstrong. The compensation of our named executive officers and our other current executive officers is based on individual terms approved by our Board of Directors. This section highlights key aspects of our compensation program.

Our compensation committee will oversee these compensation policies and, together with our Board of Directors, will periodically evaluate the need for revisions to ensure our compensation program is competitive with the companies with which we compete for executive talent.

**Objectives and Philosophy of Our Executive Compensation Program**

The primary objectives of the Board of Directors in designing our executive compensation program are to:

● attract, retain and motivate experienced and talented executives;

● ensure executive compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies, research and development programs and business goals;

● recognize the individual contributions of executives while fostering a shared commitment among executives by aligning their individual goals with our corporate goals;

● promote the achievement of key strategic, development and operational performance measures by linking compensation to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance goals; and

● align the interests of our executives with our stockholders by rewarding performance that leads to the creation of stockholder value.

To achieve these objectives in the future, we expect that our Board of Directors and compensation committee will evaluate our executive compensation program with the goal of setting and maintaining compensation at levels that are justifiable based on each executive's level of experience, performance and responsibility and that the board believes are competitive with those of other companies in our industry and our region that compete with us for executive talent. In addition, we expect that our executive compensation program will tie a substantial portion of each executive's overall compensation to key strategic, financial and operational goals. We have provided, and expect to continue to provide, a portion of our executive compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock that vest over time, which we believe helps to retain our executives and aligns their interests with those of our stockholders by allowing them to participate in the longer term success of our company as reflected in stock price appreciation.

**Use of Compensation Consultants and Market Benchmarking**

For purposes of determining total compensation and the primary components of compensation for our executive officers in 2024 and 2025, we did not retain the services of a compensation consultant or use survey information or compensation data to engage in benchmarking. In the future, we expect that our compensation committee will consider publicly available compensation data for national and regional companies in the laser cleaning industry to help guide its executive compensation decisions at the time of hiring and for subsequent adjustments in compensation. Even if we retain the services of an independent compensation consultant to provide additional comparative data on executive compensation practices in our industry and to advise on our executive compensation program generally, our Board of Directors and future compensation committee will ultimately make their own decisions about these matters.

Beginning in 2026, we expect that our annual cash bonus program will be based upon the achievement of specified annual corporate and individual goals that will be established in advance by our Board of Directors or compensation committee. We expect that our annual cash bonus program will emphasize pay-for-performance and will be intended to closely align executive compensation with achievement of specified operating results as the amount will be calculated on the basis of percentage of corporate goals achieved. The performance goals established by our compensation committee are based on our business strategy and the objective of building stockholder value. We expect that there will be three steps to determine if and the extent to which an annual cash bonus is payable to a named executive officer. First, at the beginning of the year, our compensation committee will determine the target annual cash incentive award for the named executive officer based on a percentage of the officer's annual base salary for that year. Second, the compensation committee will establish the specific performance goals, including both corporate and individual objectives, that must be met for the officer to receive the award. Third, shortly after the end of the year, the compensation committee will determine the extent to which these performance goals were met and the amount of the award. Our compensation committee works with our chief executive officer to develop corporate and individual goals that they believe can be reasonably achieved with hard work over the course of the year and will target total cash compensation, consisting of base salaries and target annual cash bonuses.

**Stock-Based Awards**

Our equity award program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives to our executives. While we do not have any equity ownership guidelines for our executives, we believe that equity grants provide our executives with a strong link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture and help to align the interests of our executives and our stockholders. In addition, the vesting feature of our equity awards contributes to executive retention by providing an incentive for our executives to remain in our employment during the vesting period. Currently, our executives are eligible to participate in our 2019 Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2019 Plan. Following the consummation of this offering, our employees and executives will be eligible to receive stock-based awards pursuant to our 2019 Plan. Under our 2019 Plan, executives will be eligible to receive grants of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based equity awards at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Our employee equity awards have typically been in the form of stock options. Because our executives profit from stock options only if our stock price increases relative to the stock option's exercise price, we believe stock options provide meaningful incentives for our executives to achieve increases in the value of our stock over time. While we currently expect to continue to use stock options as the primary form of equity awards that we grant, we may in the future use alternative forms of equity awards, such as restricted stock and restricted stock units. To date, we have generally used equity awards to compensate our executive officers in the form of initial grants in connection with the commencement of employment. In the future, we also generally plan to grant equity awards on an annual basis to our executive officers. We may also make additional discretionary grants, typically in connection with the promotion of an employee, to reward an employee, for retention purposes or in other circumstances recommended by management.

We normally grant stock awards that will vest 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the grant date and with respect to the remaining shares in approximately equal quarterly installments through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Vesting cease upon termination of employment and exercise rights cease shortly after termination of employment. Prior to the exercise of a stock option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option, including voting rights or the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents.

We have granted, and going forward expect to grant, stock options with exercise prices that are set at no less than the fair value of shares of our Common Stock on the date of grant as determined by our Board of Directors.

**Benefits and Other Compensation**

We believe that establishing competitive benefit packages for our employees is an important factor in attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel. We expect to maintain broad-based benefits that are provided to all employees, including health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance. All of our executives are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, in each case on the same basis as other employees.

In certain circumstances, we award cash signing bonuses or may reimburse relocation expenses when executives first join us. Whether a signing bonus is paid or relocation expenses are reimbursed, and the amount of either such benefit, is determined by our Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis based on the specific hiring circumstances and the recommendation of our chief executive officer.

**Severance and Change in Control Benefits**

Pursuant to agreements we expect to enter into with certain of our executives, these executives will be entitled to specified benefits in the event of the termination of their employment under specified circumstances, including termination following a change in control of our company.

We believe providing these benefits helps us compete for executive talent. Based on the substantial business experience of the members of our Board of Directors, we believe that our severance and change in control benefits are generally in line with severance packages offered to executives by companies at comparable stages of development in our industry and related industries.

**Risk Considerations in Our Compensation Program**

Our Board of Directors determines with the Company's management the philosophy and standards on which our compensation plans are implemented across our Company. It is our belief that our compensation programs do not, and in the future will not, encourage inappropriate actions or risk taking by our executive officers. We do not believe that any risks arising from our employee compensation policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. In addition, we do not believe that the mix and design of the components of our executive compensation program will encourage management to assume excessive risks. We believe that our current business process and planning cycle fosters the behaviors and controls that would mitigate the potential for adverse risk caused by the action of our executives. We believe that the following aspects of our executive compensation program that we plan to implement will mitigate the potential for adverse risk caused by the action of our executives:

● annual establishment of corporate and individual objectives for our performance-based cash bonus programs for our executive officers, which we expect to be consistent with our annual operating and strategic plans, designed to achieve the proper risk/reward balance and not require excessive risk taking to achieve;

● the mix between fixed and variable, annual and long-term and cash and equity compensation, which we expect to be designed to encourage strategies and actions that balance our short-term and long-term best interests; and

● equity incentive awards that vest over a period of time, which we believe will encourage executives to take a long-term view of our business.

**Tax and Accounting Considerations**

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per person paid to a publicly traded company's chief executive officer and three other most highly paid officers, other than the chief financial officer.

We account for equity compensation paid to our employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718, *Compensation-Stock Compensation*, or ASC 718, which requires us to measure and recognize compensation expense in our financial statements for all share-based payments based on an estimate of their fair value over the service period of the award. We record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation is accrued.

**Grants of Plan-Based Awards**

Jade Barnwell, our former CFO who resigned on December 20, 2023, received on February 27, 2024, 17,008 shares of our Common Stock under a compensation agreement.

**Outstanding Equity Awards**

There were no outstanding equity awards held by our named executive officers as of December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2025.

**Clawback Policy**

In November 2023, our Board of Directors adopted a policy regarding the recovery of erroneously awarded compensation ("Clawback Policy") in accordance with the applicable rules of Nasdaq and Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In the event we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under U.S. securities laws or otherwise erroneous data or if we determine there has been a significant misconduct that causes material financial, operational or reputational harm, we shall be entitled to recover a portion or all of any incentive-based compensation, if any, provided to certain executives who, during a three-year period preceding the date on which an accounting restatement is required, received incentive compensation based on the erroneous financial data that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation the executive would have received based on the restatement.

Our Clawback Policy is administered by our Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the authority, in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations, to interpret and make determinations necessary for the administration of the Clawback Policy, and may forego recovery in certain instances, including if it determines that recovery would be impracticable.

**Nonqualified Deferred Compensation**

We do not maintain any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

**Defined Contribution Plan**

We do not currently have a defined contribution plan.

**Stock Option and Other Employee Benefit Plans**

The purpose of the 2019 Plan is to advance the interests of our stockholders by enhancing our ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to better align the interests of such persons with those of our stockholders.

**2019 Stock Incentive Plan**

*History*. On December 2, 2019, the Board of Directors approved and on December 3, 2019, the stockholders approved the 2019 stock incentive plan (the "2019 Plan") under which employees, officers, directors and consultants are eligible to receive grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SAR"), restricted or unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, other stock-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing. The Plan authorizes up to 10,000,000 shares of our Common Stock for stock-based awards.

*Administration*. The 2019 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or the committee or committees as may be appointed by the Board of Directors from time to time (the "Administrator"). The Administrator determines the persons who are to receive awards, the types of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each such award and the terms and conditions of such awards. The Administrator also has the authority to interpret the provisions of the 2019 Plan and of any awards granted there under and to modify awards granted under the 2019 Plan. The Administrator may not, however, reduce the price of options or stock appreciation rights issued under the 2019 Plan without prior approval of the Company's shareholders.

*Eligibility*. The 2019 Plan provides that awards may be granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or of any parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company as the Administrator may determine. A person may be granted more than one award under the 2019 Plan.

Shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an option under the 2019 Plan but cease to be subject to such option for any reason (other than exercise of such option), and shares that are subject to an award granted under the 2019 Plan but are forfeited or repurchased by the Company at the original issue price, or that are subject to an award that terminates without shares being issued, will again be available for grant and issuance under the 2019 Plan.

*Terms of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights*. The Administrator determines many of the terms and conditions of each option and SAR granted under the 2019 Plan, including whether the option is to be an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option, whether the SAR is a related SAR or a freestanding SAR, the number of shares subject to each option or SAR, and the exercise price of the option and the periods during which the option or SAR may be exercised. Each option and SAR is evidenced by a grant agreement in such form as the Administrator approves and is subject to the following conditions (as described in further detail in the 2019 Plan):

*Vesting and Exercisability*. Options, restricted shares and SARs become vested and exercisable, as applicable, within such periods, or upon such events, as determined by the Administrator in its discretion and as set forth in the related grant agreement. The term of each option is also set by the Administrator. However, a related SAR will be exercisable at the time or times, and only to the extent, that the option is exercisable and will not be transferable except to the extent that the option is transferable. A freestanding SAR will be exercisable as determined by the Administrator but in no event after 10 years from the date of grant.

*Exercise Price*. Each grant agreement states the related option exercise price, which, in the case of SARs, may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company's shares of Common Stock on the date of the grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a 10% stockholder may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of shares of the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant.

*Method of Exercise*. The option exercise price is typically payable in cash, Common Stock or a combination of cash of Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator, but may also be payable, at the discretion of the Administrator, in a number of other forms of consideration.

*Recapitalization; Change of Control.* The number of shares subject to any award, and the number of shares issuable under the 2019 Plan, are subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, business combination or exchange of shares and the like. Except as otherwise provided in any written agreement between the participant and the Company in effect when a change in control occurs, in the event an acquiring company does not assume plan awards (i) all outstanding options and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable; (ii) for performance-based awards, all performance goals or performance criteria shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met, with award payout prorated for the portion of the performance period completed as of the change in control and payment to occur within 45 days of the change in control; (iii) all restrictions and conditional applicable to any restricted stock award shall lapse; (iv) all restrictions and conditions applicable to any restricted stock units shall lapse and payment shall be made within 45 days of the change in control; and (v) all other awards shall be delivered or paid within 45 days of the change in control.

*Other Provisions*. The option grant and exercise agreements authorized under the 2019 Plan, which may be different for each option, may contain such other provisions as the Administrator deems advisable, including without limitation, (i) restrictions upon the exercise of the option and (ii) a right of repurchase in favor of the Company to repurchase unvested shares held by an optionee upon termination of the optionee's employment at the original purchase price.

*Amendment and Termination*. The Administrator, to the extent permitted by law, and with respect to any shares at the time not subject to awards, may suspend or discontinue the 2019 Plan or amend the 2019 Plan in any respect; provided that the Administrator may not, without approval of the stockholders, amend the 2019 Plan in a manner that requires stockholder approval.

*Recapitalization; Change of Control*. The number of shares subject to any award, and the number of shares issuable under the 2019 Plan, are subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, business combination or exchange of shares and the like. Except as otherwise provided in any written agreement between the participant and us in effect when a change in control occurs, in the event an acquiring company does not assume plan awards (i) all outstanding options and SARs shall become fully vested and exercisable; (ii) for performance-based awards, all performance goals or performance criteria shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met, with award payout prorated for the portion of the performance period completed as of the change in control and payment to occur within 45 days of the change in control; (iii) all restrictions and conditional applicable to any restricted stock award shall lapse; (iv) all restrictions and conditions applicable to any restricted stock units shall lapse and payment shall be made within 45 days of the change in control; and (v) all other awards shall be delivered or paid within 45 days of the change in control.

*Other Provisions*. The option grant and exercise agreements authorized under the 2019 Plan, which may be different for each option, may contain such other provisions as the Administrator deems advisable, including without limitation, (i) restrictions upon the exercise of the option and (ii) a right of repurchase in favor of us to repurchase unvested shares held by an optionee upon termination of the optionee's employment at the original purchase price.

*Amendment and Termination of the 2019 Plan*. The Administrator, to the extent permitted by law, and with respect to any shares at the time not subject to awards, may suspend or discontinue the 2019 Plan or amend the 2019 Plan in any respect; provided that the Administrator may not, without approval of the stockholders, amend the 2019 Plan in a manner that requires stockholder approval.

**Director Compensation**

Under our non-employee director compensation policy adopted in November 2023, our independent directors in 2024 and 2025 were paid $30,000 in each year in cash compensation, 20,000 shares of restricted Common Stock in 2025 and have received in 2026 20,000 shares of restricted Common Stock. Additionally, the Company will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending our board of directors and committee meetings. In the future, we may also grant stock options to our independent directors.

**Limitation of Liability and Indemnification**

Our certificate of incorporation provides that we are authorized to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to our directors, officers and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation limits the personal liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and provides that no director will have personal liability to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty or other duty as a director. However, these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of any of our directors for:

● any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

● any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

● unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or

● any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Any amendment to or repeal of these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to such amendment or repeal. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Our certificate of incorporation also provides that we must indemnify our directors and officers and we must advance expenses, including attorneys' fees, to our directors and officers in connection with legal proceedings, subject to very limited exceptions.

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Certain of our non-employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured or indemnified against certain liabilities incurred in their capacity as members of our Board of Directors.

**Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation**

None of our officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or Board of Directors of any other entity that has one or more officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The following are summaries of certain provisions of our related party agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of such agreements. Because these descriptions are only summaries of the applicable agreements, they do not necessarily contain all of the information that you may find useful. We therefore urge you to review the agreements in their entirety. Copies of the forms of the agreements have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement and are available electronically on the website of the SEC at www.sec.gov.

In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements, with our directors and executive officers, including those discussed in the sections titled "Management" and "Executive Compensation," the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2024 or any currently proposed transaction in which:

● we have been or are to be a party to;

● the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000; and

● any of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, or any immediate family member of, or person sharing the household with, any of these individuals or entities, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

For information on our compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements, with our directors and executive officers, see the section titled "Executive Compensation".

Since December 31, 2024, we have engaged in the following transactions in an amount that exceeds $120,000 with our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, and affiliates or immediately family members of our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, and our co-founders. We believe that all of these transactions were on terms as favorable as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.

ICT Investments provides the Company accounting services and various management services on an as needed basis. For the three months ended September 30, pursuant to an arrangement with ICT Investments, the Company had not paid these services but had recorded payables for $39,903 for accounting services, and $70,460 for other services. Any distribution between Laser Photonics and ICT must be distributed to an affiliate company. The Company owes $72,196 for services to Fonon Technologies, Inc.

ICT Investments currently owns approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, Fonon Drone Shield Solutions, Inc., an affiliate of ICT Investments, currently owns approximately 3% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, Fonon Quantum Technologies owns approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Fonon Technologies owns approximately 9% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and collectively are our majority stockholders. Dmitriy Nikitin has significant voting power for all matters that are submitted to a vote of the Company's shareholders since he currently owns approximately 34% of the outstanding voting shares of the Company's Common Stock through his ownership of all membership interests of ICT Investments which is the controlling entity of Fonon Drone Shield Solutions, Inc., Fonon Quantum Technologies and Fonon Technologies, Inc.

On April 3, 2025, April 16, 2025, June 20, 2025, July 8, 2025, and July 12, 2025, the "Company received from ICT Investments, the owner of the majority of outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock, unsecured loans in the principal amount of $200,000, $400,000, $20,000, $101,000, and $30,000 respectively, to assist Laser Photonics in meeting certain expenses, including payroll. Laser Photonics issued promissory notes, with interest at $20,000, $40,000, $2,000, $10,000 and $3,000 respectively, and a maturity date of May 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, August 30, 2025, September 8, 2025, and September 12, 2025, respectively. The unpaid principal balance of ICT loans as of September 30, 2025, was $751,000. The unpaid interest balance of ICT loans as of September 30, 2025, was $75,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded total revenue of $420,089 from its affiliate, Fonon Technologies, Inc. The revenue recognition has been realized according to ASC 606.

On March 31, 2025, ICT Investments, LLC ("ICT"), an affiliated company under common control, acquired inventories and machinery and equipment from ARCH Cutting Tools – Flushing, LLC ("ARCH"), related to their Beamer Laser Marking Systems ("Beamer") product line, for total cash consideration of $255,824. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition rather than a business combination, as the assets acquired did not meet the definition of a business. The purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets based on their relative cost, which resulted in recording of $238,054 of inventories and $17,770 of machinery and equipment, as of the date of acquisition. The purchased assets were subsequently transferred to Fonon Quantum Technologies, Inc. ("FQTI"), an affiliate of both ICT and the Company.

On August 5, 2025, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with FQTI, to acquire the Beamer assets. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 3,000,000 restricted shares of its Common Stock with a fair value of $8,400,000 (valued at $2.80 per share as of the close of market on August 5, 2025), as payment for the assets acquired of $255,824, resulting in a deemed dividend of $8,144,176 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company recorded net sales and cost of goods sold of $645,578 and $106,350, respectively, representing the net sales and cost of goods sold realized by FQTI during the period March 31, 2025 through August 5, 2025. Furthermore, the sales were recognized as distributions to affiliates in the accompanying statement of stockholders' equity (deficit).

Because the transaction was between entities under common control (ICT controls both the Company and FQTI), the acquisition was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 805-50, *"Transactions Between Entities Under Common Control"*. The Company accounted for the asset purchase as if it had acquired the Beamer assets from ARCH on March 31, 2025. The Company recorded net sales and cost of goods sold of $645,758 and $106,350, respectively, representing the net sales and cost of goods sold realized by FQTI during the period March 31, 2025 through August 5, 2025. The Beamer assets are recognized at their historical carrying amounts rather than at fair value as of March 31, 2025, and no goodwill was recorded. Comparative prior-period financial statements were not restated.

Since the date of incorporation on November 8, 2019, the Company has engaged in the following transactions with our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of its voting securities, and affiliates or immediately family members of its directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, and its co-founders. The Company believes that all these transactions were on terms as favorable as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.

**Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions**

Our Board of Directors has adopted written policies and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or 5% stockholders (or their immediate family members), each of whom we refer to as a "related person," has a direct or indirect material interest.

If a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a "related person transaction," the related person must report the proposed related person transaction to our chief legal officer or, in the event we do not have a chief legal officer, to our principal financial officer. The policy calls for the proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to entry into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the committee will review, and, in its discretion, may ratify the related person transaction. The policy also permits the chairman of the committee to review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related person transactions that arise between committee meetings, subject to ratification by the committee at its next meeting. Any related person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually.

A related person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the committee after full disclosure of the related person's interest in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the committee will review and consider:

● the related person's interest in the related person transaction;

● the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction;

● the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person's interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

● whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business;

● whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

● the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction; and any other information regarding the related person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

The committee may approve or ratify the transaction only if the committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is not inconsistent with our best interests. The committee may impose any conditions on the related person transaction that it deems appropriate.

In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the SEC's related person transaction disclosure rule, our Board of Directors has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related person transactions for purposes of this policy:

● interests arising solely from the related person's position as an executive officer of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity), that is a participant in the transaction, where (a) the related person and all other related persons own in the aggregate less than a 10% equity interest in such entity, (b) the related person and his or her immediate family members are not involved in the negotiation of the terms of the transaction and do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction and (c) the amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $200,000 or 5% of the annual consolidated gross revenues of the other entity that is a party to the transaction; and

● a transaction that is specifically contemplated by provisions of our charter or bylaws.

The policy provides that transactions involving compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee in the manner specified in its charter.

**Delinquent with Section 16(a) Reports**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own 10% or more of a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to furnish the Company with copies of all reports filed by them in compliance with Section 16(a). To the Company's knowledge, based solely on a review of reports furnished to it, for the year ended December 31, 2022, all of the Company's officers, directors and ten percent holders have made the required filings.

Shareholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law in connection with this proxy solicitation.

**PROPOSAL 1**

**APPROVL OF THE MARCH WARRANT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENT**

On March 15, 2026, we entered into the March Warrant Inducement Agreement with the holders of existing Series A and Series B warrants to purchase up to 1,373,630 shares of our Common Stock (the "Existing Warrants") at an original exercise price of $3.40 per share as set forth in our S-1 registration statement (Registration No. 333-290875) declared effective on December 31, 2025. We offered as an inducement to these warrant holders for exercising the Existing Warrants in cash at a reduced exercise price of $1.08 per share, our issuance of replacement warrants to these warrant holders through the issuance of Series A-3 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,373,630 shares of our Common Stock and Series A-4 warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,373,630 shares of our Common Stock that have similar terms with the Series A and Series B warrants, other than a current exercise price of $1.08 per share and certain other terms discussed in the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on March 18, 2026.

**PROPOSAL 2**

**APPROVL OF THE APRIL WARRANT INDUCEMENT AGREEMENT**

On April 26, 2026, we entered into the April Warrant Inducement Agreement with the holders of existing Series A-1 and Series A-2 warrants to purchase up to 5,715,085 shares of our Common Stock (the "Existing Warrants") at an original exercise price of $0.70 per share as set forth in the Company's S-1 registration statement (Registration No. 333-292932) declared effective on February 6, 2026. We have offered as an inducement to these warrant holders for exercising the Existing Warrants in cash new unregistered Series A-5 warrants to purchase up to 4,742,860 shares of our Common Stock and new unregistered Series A-6 warrants to purchase up to 6,687,310 shares of our Common Stock. The new warrants have an exercise price of $0.975 per share and will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the new warrants. (the "Initial Exercise Date") The Series A-5 new warrants will expire five years after the later of (i) the Initial Exercise Date and (ii) the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement (the "Effective Date"), and the Series A-6 new warrants will expire 24 months after the later of (x) the Initial Exercise Date and (y) the Effective Date.

.

We face a cash penalty as provided in the warrant inducement agreement for our failure to meet the required dates for filing the S-1 registration statement and it being declared effective by the SEC as discussed below. The number of Series A-1 warrants and Series A-2 warrants to be exercised for cash are subject to beneficial ownership limitations of either 4.99% or 9.99% at the election of the Series A-1 and Series A-2 warrant holders. To the extent that the beneficial ownership limitations apply, the balance of any issuance of free trading shares of our Common Stock will be held in abeyance until notice from the warrant holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such beneficial ownership limitations, and those underlying shares of our Common Stock will be treated as having been prepaid, including the cash payment in full of the exercise price.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Wainwright") served as exclusive placement agent for this transaction. Under the terms of its August 21, 2025, engagement agreement with us, as amended on February 13, 2026, Wainwright has received a cash fee of 7.0% of the funds raised through the warrant inducement agreement and a placement agent warrant to Wainwright or its designees to purchase up to 400,056 shares of our Common Stock (equal to 7.0% of our shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Existing Warrants) exercisable on or after the Initial Exercise Date for five years after the later of (i) the Initial Exercise Date and (ii) the Effective Date, at an exercise price of $0.875 per share, and reimbursement of Wainwright's accountable expenses of up to $75,000 and clearing expenses of $15,950.
