**PROXY STATEMENT**

**FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS**

**To be held on June 4, 2026**

Proxies in the form enclosed with this Proxy Statement are solicited by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of MariMed Inc. (the "Company," "we," "us," "our," or any derivative thereof) to be used at the annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on Thursday, June 4, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time, via live webcast on the Internet at *<u>www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/MRMD2026,</u>* for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting and this Proxy Statement. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 10 Oceana Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Proxy and the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report") will be mailed to stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is April 23, 2026.

**IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS** 

**FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 4, 2026**

**The Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting, including the Annual Report and the Proxy Statement, are also available at <u>www.proxyvote.com</u>**

**THE VOTING AND VOTE REQUIRED**

<u>Record Date and Quorum</u>

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on April 10, 2026 (the "Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, we had 398,920,671 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Shares") outstanding, and 26,900,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Series B Preferred Shares") outstanding. Each Common Share is entitled to one vote and, except under limited circumstances, none of which have occurred, holders of the Series B Preferred Shares do not have any voting rights and are not entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by each properly executed, unrevoked proxy received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted as specified. A quorum will be present at the Annual Meeting if stockholders owning a majority of the Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date are present at the meeting or by proxy.

<u>Voting of Proxies</u>

The persons acting as proxies (the "Proxyholders") pursuant to the enclosed proxy will vote the Common Shares represented as directed in the signed proxy. Unless otherwise directed in the proxy, the Proxyholders will vote the Common Shares represented by the proxy: (i) for the election of the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement; (ii) for the advisory approval of the appointment of M&K CPAs PLLC as the Company's independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2026 (the "Approval of Auditors"), and (iii) in their discretion, on any other business that may come before the Annual Meeting and at any adjournments of the Annual Meeting.

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. All Common Shares represented by valid proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. In the absence of instructions, proxies will be voted FOR each of the stated matters being voted on at the Annual Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by the stockholder

------

giving the proxy at any time before it is voted, by written notice addressed to and received by the Secretary of the Company or Secretary of the meeting, and a prior proxy is automatically revoked by a stockholder giving a subsequent proxy or attending and voting at the Annual Meeting. Attendance at the Annual Meeting, however, in and of itself does not revoke a prior proxy. In the case of the election of directors, Common Shares represented by a proxy which is marked "WITHHOLD ALL" to vote for all director nominees will not be counted in determining whether a plurality vote has been received for the election of directors. Common Shares represented by proxies that are marked "ABSTAIN" on the Approval of Auditors or any other proposal will not be counted in determining whether the requisite vote has been received for such proposal. However, Common Shares represented by proxies which are marked "WITHHOLD ALL" or "ABSTAIN" will be counted for quorum purposes.

<u>Broker Non-Votes</u>

A broker non-vote occurs when Common Shares held by a broker are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and has not received voting instructions from its clients ("broker non-votes"). If your broker holds your Common Shares in its name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote, your broker will only have discretion to vote your Common Shares on "routine" matters. Where a proposal is not "routine," a broker who has not received instructions from its clients does not have discretion to vote its clients' uninstructed Common Shares on that proposal. At the Annual Meeting, only the Approval of Auditors (Proposal No. 2) is considered a routine matter. All other proposals are considered "non-routine," and your broker will not have discretion to vote on those proposals. Broker non-votes will, however, be counted towards determining whether or not a quorum is present.

<u>Voting Requirements</u>

<u>Election of Directors</u>. The election of the four director nominees will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of Common Shares present or represented by proxy to elect each nominee. Election by a plurality means that the director nominee with the most votes for a particular Board seat is elected for that seat.

<u>Advisory Approval of the Appointment of Independent Auditors</u>. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter by the holders of Common Shares present or represented by proxy is required for the advisory approval of the appointment of M&K CPAs PLLC as the Company's independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. An abstention from voting on approval of auditors will be treated as "present" for quorum purposes. However, since an abstention is not treated as a "vote" for or against the matter, it will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this matter.

<u>Virtual Meeting Instructions/Q&A</u>

***How can I vote my shares and participate at the Annual Meeting?***

You are entitled to attend, participate in, and vote at the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the Record Date (April 10, 2026), or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting.

You should allow sufficient time to log in prior to the start of the Annual Meeting. The meeting platform will open for log in approximately 15 minutes before the meeting begins.

Stockholders may submit questions during the Annual Meeting through the virtual meeting platform. Questions pertinent to the business of the Annual Meeting will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints. The Company may group similar questions and may not address questions that are irrelevant to meeting matters or otherwise inappropriate.

**Proposal No. 1**

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

Four directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal.

------

It is intended that votes pursuant to the enclosed proxy will be cast for the election of the four nominees named below. In the event that any such nominee should become unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the Proxyholder will vote for the election of an alternate candidate, if any, as shall be designated by the Board. The Board has no reason to believe any of these nominees will be unable to serve if elected. Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. All nominees are currently members of our Board. There are no family relationships among any of the executive officers, directors or director nominees of the Company.

The Board currently consists of four directors, including Jon R. Levine, Edward Gildea, David Allen and Eva Selhub, M.D. The terms of the four directors are scheduled to expire at the Annual Meeting.

**Code of Ethics**

We have adopted a code of ethics (the "Code of Ethics") that applies to our Board, executive officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to a previously filed annual report and is posted on our website at <u>https://marimedinc.com/</u>. The Code of Ethics was designed with the intent to deter wrongdoing, and to promote the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications we make;<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics; and<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Accountability for adherence to the code.

**Director Independence**

The Board has determined that Messrs. Gildea and Allen and Dr. Selhub, who represent a majority of its members, are independent. In determining director independence, the Board applies the independence standards set by the Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ"). In applying these standards, our Board considers all transactions with the independent directors and the impact of such transactions, if any, on any of the independent director's ability to continue to serve on the Board.

**Board Committees**

The Board has three standing committees: an audit committee (the "Audit Committee"), a compensation committee (the "Compensation Committee"), and a nominating and governance committee (the "Nominating and Governance Committee"). Each committee is made up entirely of independent directors as defined under section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ rules. The members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Allen and Gildea. Mr. Allen is also the chairperson of the Audit Committee and qualifies as the "audit committee financial expert" pursuant to Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. The members of both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee are Messrs. Allen, Gildea and Dr. Selhub. Mr. Gildea is the chairperson of the Compensation Committee and Dr. Selhub is the chairperson of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

*<u>Meeting Attendance</u>*

During fiscal year 2025, the Board held five (5) meetings, the Audit Committee held four (4) meetings, the Compensation Committee held three (3) meetings, and the Nominating and Governance Committee held two (2) meetings. All directors attended or participated in at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the Board's committees on which each applicable director served. It is our policy to encourage directors to attend the Annual Meeting. All of the director nominees who were directors at the time attended our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders.

**Audit Committee Report**

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee currently consists of two (2) members of the Board who meet the independence and experience requirements of NASDAQ and the SEC.

The Audit Committee retained M&K CPAs PLLC ("M&K"), our independent registered public accounting firm, and approves in advance all permissible non-audit services performed by them and other auditing firms. Although management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal control, the Audit Committee consulted with management and M&K regarding the preparation of financial statements, the adoption and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates, and generally oversees our relationship with M&K.

The Audit Committee reviewed our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and met with management to discuss such audited financial statements. The Audit Committee has discussed with M&K the matters required to be discussed pursuant to applicable auditing standards. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from M&K required by the Public Company Accountant Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with M&K its independence from us and our management. M&K had full and free access to the Audit Committee. Based on its review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended that our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended as filed with the SEC.

**Board Nominations**

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for nominating director candidates for the annual meeting of stockholders each year and consider director candidates recommended by stockholders ("Proposing Stockholder"). In considering candidates submitted by a Proposing Stockholder, the Nominating and Governance Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Nominating and Governance Committee, among other things, may also take into consideration the number of Common Shares held by the Proposing Stockholder and the length of time that such shares have been held.

To have a candidate considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee for recommendation to the Board for nomination as a director candidate the Proposing Stockholder must submit the recommendation by written notice containing the information specified in our Amended and Restated By-Laws, dated as of August 5, 2024 (the "Bylaws"), regarding the Proposing Stockholder and the proposed nominee. The notice must be sent to the Secretary at 10 Oceana Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062, on a timely basis in order to be considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee, within the time period prescribed by the Bylaws.

**Disclosure of Director Qualifications**

The Board is responsible for assembling for stockholder consideration a group of nominees that, taken together, have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills appropriate for functioning effectively as a Board.

------

The Board believes that the minimum qualifications for service as a director are that a nominee possess an ability, as demonstrated by recognized success in his or her field, to make meaningful contributions to the Board's oversight of the business and affairs of the Company and an impeccable reputation of integrity and competence in his or her personal and professional activities. The Board's criteria for evaluating potential candidates include the following: (i) an understanding of the Company's business environment, (ii) the possession of such knowledge, skills, expertise and diversity of experience that would enhance the Board's ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company, and (iii) certain characteristics common to all Board members, including integrity, strong professional reputation and record of achievement, constructive and collegial personal attributes, and the ability and commitment to devote sufficient time and energy to Board service.

In addition, the Board seeks to include on the Board a complementary mix of individuals with diverse backgrounds and skills reflecting the broad set of challenges that the Board confronts.

**Board Leadership Structure**

The Board believes that the Board leadership structure that is most appropriate for the Company at this time is a non-executive chairman of the Board. Edward Gildea has been serving as our non-executive chairman since February 2023 and has been a director since our formation. The Board evaluates its leadership structure and role in risk oversight on an ongoing basis and makes decisions on the basis of what it considers to be best for the Company at any given point in time. Currently, our Board leadership structure consists of an independent chairman of the board, a separate chief executive officer, and strong committee chairs. The Board believes its leadership structure provides for appropriate independence between the Board and management because the current leadership structure offers the following benefits: (i) increased independent oversight of the Company and enhanced objective evaluation of our chief executive officer by our Board, (ii) allows the chief executive officer to focus primarily on Company operations instead of Board administration, (iii) provides the chief executive officer with an experienced sounding board, (iv) provides greater opportunities for communication between management and our Board, (v) enhances the independent and objective assessment of risk by our Board, and (vi) provides an independent spokesperson for our Company.

**The Board's Oversight of Risk Management**

The Board recognizes that all companies face a variety of risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, strategic risk, and operational risk. The Board believes an effective risk management system will (1) timely identify the material risks that we face, (2) communicate necessary information with respect to material risks to senior executives and, as appropriate, to the Board or relevant Board committee, (3) implement appropriate and responsive risk management strategies consistent with our risk profile, and (4) integrate risk management into our decision-making. The Board encourages, and management promotes, a corporate culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day-to-day business operations. The Board also continually works, with the input of our management and executive officers, to assess and analyze the most likely areas of future risk for us.

**Communications with Directors**

The Board has established a process to receive communications from stockholders. Stockholders and other interested parties may contact any member (or all members) of the Board, or the non-management directors as a group, by mail or electronically. To communicate with the Board, any individual director or any group of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board or any such individual directors or group of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent to c/o Secretary, MariMed Inc., 10 Oceana Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062 or by email to ir@marimedinc.com.

All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by the Secretary of the Company for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to our directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, patently offensive material or matters deemed inappropriate for the Board, will be forwarded promptly to the addressee. In the case of communications to the Board or any group of directors, the Secretary will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group to which the envelope or e-mail is addressed.

------

**Trading Restrictions**

All of our officers, directors and employees are subject to our insider trading policy, which prohibits trading in our securities while in possession of material nonpublic information about us. In addition, all trades by directors, Named Executives (set forth below) and certain other employees and consultants must be pre-approved by our designated chief compliance officer. Under this policy, such individuals are also prohibited from entering into hedging transactions involving our securities such as short sales, puts and calls.

**COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS**

The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation of our non-employee directors periodically and recommends changes to the Board when it deems appropriate. Each Board member is paid an annual retainer of $40,000 and receives an annual equity grant of 75,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs") that vest one year from the date of grant. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one Common Share and converts to Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. In addition, Board members who Chair a committee receive additional annual stipends, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chairman of the Board: $10,000

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chairperson, Audit Committee: $7,500

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chairperson, Compensation Committee: $5,000

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Chairperson, Nominating and Governance Committee: $5,000

(1)In April 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that bonuses aggregating $22,500, $15,000 and $19,500 had been earned by Messrs. Levine, Crandall and Shaw, respectively, under the Company's annual bonus program for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Bonus"). Each 2025 Bonus is comprised of a cash payment equal to 30% of the respective 2025 Bonus amount (the "2025 Bonus Cash Portion") and an RSU award equal to 70% of the respective 2025 Bonus amount (the "2025 Bonus Equity Portion"). The number of RSUs granted to each Named Executive was calculated by dividing the respective 2025 Bonus Equity Portion by a 30-day average closing stock price of $0.08 (the "2025 Equity Grant"). The RSUs were granted on April 15, 2026. In accordance with ASC 718, the grant date fair value of the RSUs is based on the Company's closing stock price on the grant date ($0.072). As a result, the aggregate grant date fair values of the 2025 Equity Grants differ from the 2025 Bonus Equity Portions. These amounts are excluded from the table above.<br>In April 2025, the Compensation Committee determined that bonuses aggregating $29,654, $20,758 and $26,985 had been earned by Messrs.

Levine, Crandall and Shaw were comprised of 269,578 RSUs, 188,705 RSUs and 245,316 RSUs, respectively, with the number of RSUs granted to each Named Executive calculated by dividing the 2024 Bonus amount by a 30-day average closing stock price of $0.11, while the closing stock price on the date of grant was $0.097 for Messrs. Levine and Crandall, and $0.740 for Mr. Shaw, and accordingly, the grant date fair values of the 2024 Bonus Grants differ from the 2024 Bonus amounts. These amounts are included under "Stock Awards" for 2025 in the table above. One-third of the 2024 Bonus Grants vested on each of June 15, 2025, September 15, 2025 and December 2025.<br>The amounts earned by Messrs.

(1)Consists of 19,155,921 options to purchase Common Shares and 9,887,289 RSUs, all of which do not have voting or other rights of ownership, under the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2018 Plan").<br>

(2)Represents the weighted average exercise price for the 19,155,921 outstanding options to purchase Common Shares under the 2018 Plan. RSUs issued under the 2018 Plan do not require a payment by the recipient to the Company at the time of vesting. As such, the weighted average exercise price does not take these awards into account.

The 2018 Plan is an omnibus plan, authorizing a variety of equity award types as well as cash and long-term incentive awards. Each award under the 2018 Plan is subject to the Company's clawback policy in effect at the time of grant of the award. Shares actually delivered in connection with an award will be counted against the aggregate number of reserved shares. Shares will remain available for new awards if an award under the 2018 Plan expires, is forfeited, canceled, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares or is settled in cash.

The Board may amend, suspend, discontinue or terminate the 2018 Plan or the authority to grant awards thereunder without stockholder approval, except as required by law or regulation or under rules of the stock exchange, if any, on which the Company's stock may then be listed. Unless earlier terminated, the granting of awards under the 2018 Plan will terminate ten years after stockholder approval of the 2018 Plan or when no shares remain available and the Company has no further obligation with respect to any outstanding award.

**Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance**

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, are required to report the ownership of such shares, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash-only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and we are required to report, in this Proxy Statement, any failure to comply therewith during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

We believe that all reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act were filed on a timely basis by the Company's executive officers, directors and by the beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Shares. In making this statement, we have relied solely on copies of any reporting forms received by us, and upon any written representations received from reporting persons that no Form 5 (Annual Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership) was required to be filed under applicable rules of the Commission.

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**

The Company's corporate offices are leased from an entity in which the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") has an investment interest. This lease expires in October 2028 and contains a five-year extension option. Expenses under this lease in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were approximately $285,000 and $233,000, respectively.

------

The Company procures nutrients, lab equipment, cultivation supplies, furniture and tools from an entity owned by the family of the Company's Chief Operating Officer (the "COO"). Purchases from this entity totaled $6.2 million and $4.6 million in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company pays royalties on the revenue generated from its Betty's Eddies product line to an entity owned by the COO and the Company's Chief Commercial Officer under a royalty agreement. Under this agreement, the royalty on all sales of Betty's Eddies products is 3.0% if sold directly by the Company and between 1.3% and 2.5% if licensed by the Company for sale by third parties. Future developed products have a royalty rate of 0.5% if sold directly by the Company and between 0.125% and 0.135% if licensed by the Company for sale by third parties. The aggregate royalties earned by the entity for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 approximated $649,000 and $634,000, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, one of the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries paid distributions of approximately $6,400 and $5,000, respectively, to the CEO, who owns a minority equity interest in such subsidiary.

On June 10, 2024, the CEO and COO purchased 5% and 15%, respectively, of the membership units of Mari Holdings Metropolis, LLC, one of the Company's majority-owned subsidiaries. These membership units were purchased from the previous minority interest-holder, and accordingly, the percentage of the noncontrolling interests in this majority-owned subsidiary remains unchanged. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, this majority-owned subsidiary made distribution payments to the CEO of approximately $9,000 and $6,750, respectively, and payments to the COO of approximately $27,000 and $20,250, respectively.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had an outstanding accounts payable balance of approximately $448,000 and $251,000, respectively, primarily in connection with fixed assets purchased from a third-party company in which the CEO has a controlling interest. The Company assumed approximately $35,000 of accounts payable to that company in connection with the acquisition of First State Compassion Center ("FSC") in March 2025 (the "FSC Acquisition"). The Company also assumed an accounts payable amount of $21,000 from FSC to a second company in which the CEO has a controlling interest. These assumed liabilities related to cash advances to FSC in periods prior to the FSC Acquisition. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2025, the CEO advanced $50,000 to the Company for certain operating activities.

At December 31, 2025, the Company's mortgages with Bank of New England and DuQuoin State Bank were personally guaranteed by the CEO.

**Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions**

As required under the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations. A related party transaction refers to transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. In evaluating related person transactions, the Audit Committee considers all factors it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances, the extent of the related person's interest in the transaction, and whether products or services of a similar nature, quantity, or quality are readily available from alternative sources.

\*Less than one percent.

(1)Calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) of the Exchange Act whereby shares not outstanding which are subject to options, warrants, rights or conversion privileges exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the number and percentage owned by a person, but not deemed outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage owned by each other person listed. We believe that each individual or entity named has sole investment and voting power with respect to Common Shares indicated as beneficially owned by them (subject to community property laws where applicable) and except where otherwise noted. All percentages are determined based on 398,920,671 Common Shares outstanding as of the Record Date.<br>

**Proposal No. 2**

**ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS**

M&K has been our independent auditor since 2018. Their audit report appears in our annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. One or more representatives of M&K is expected to be at the Annual Meeting and will

------

have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from our stockholders.

Selection of the independent accountants is not required to be submitted to a vote of our stockholders for advisory approval. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the audit work of the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has appointed M&K to serve as independent auditors to conduct an audit of our accounts for the 2026 fiscal year. However, the Board is submitting this matter to our stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to vote on an advisory basis in favor of the selection, the Audit Committee will take that into consideration when deciding whether to retain M&K and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to stockholders. Even if stockholders vote on an advisory basis in favor of the appointment, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our and our stockholders' best interests.

**The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, of**

 **the appointment of M&K as our independent accountants for 2026.**

\*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \*

**Solicitation of Proxies**

The entire cost of the solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. Proxies may be solicited by our directors, officers and regular employees, without extra compensation, by telephone, telegraph, mail or personal interview. Solicitation is not to be made by specifically engaged employees or paid solicitors.

**Stockholder Proposals for Next Annual Meeting Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act**

Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at the Company's 2027 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2027 Annual Meeting") pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must submit the proposal to our Secretary at our offices at 10 Oceana Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062, in writing not later than December 24, 2026, which is 120 days before the one-year anniversary date on which this Proxy Statement was mailed to our stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting, and must otherwise comply with the rules promulgated by the SEC. However, if the date of the 2027 Annual Meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail proxy materials for the 2027 Annual Meeting. In such an event, we expect to issue a press release announcing such change and take reasonable steps necessary to inform other relevant parties of the change, including intermediaries in the proxy process.

**Stockholder Director Nominations for Inclusion in the 2027 Proxy Statement**

Under our Bylaws, written notice of stockholder nominations to the Board, that are to be included in the proxy statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting (the "2027 Proxy Statement") pursuant to the proxy access provisions in Article II, Section 10 of our Bylaws (the "Proxy Access Notice"), must be delivered to our Secretary at our offices at 10 Oceana Way, Norwood, Massachusetts 02062, not later than 120 days (December 24, 2026) nor earlier than 150 days (November 24, 2026) prior to the one-year anniversary date on which this Proxy Statement was mailed to our stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting.

**Stockholder Solicitation of Proxies in Support of Director Nominees Other Than Company Nominees**

In addition to satisfying the provisions in our Bylaws relating to nominations of director candidates, including the deadline for written notices, to comply with the SEC's universal proxy rule, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees in compliance with Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act (including a statement that such stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of the Company's shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Company's nominees), must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) no later than 60 days prior to the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting (for the 2027 Annual Meeting, no later than April 5, 2027).

This means that only one copy of this Proxy Statement or Annual Report may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household.
