***What information is contained in this Proxy Statement?***

This information relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting, the voting process, and certain other required information.

**How do I vote?**

*Stockholders of Record*

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, you are considered the "stockholder of record" with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Special Meeting or vote by proxy using the accompanying proxy card. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Special Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.

<u>By Internet</u> – stockholders may vote on the internet by logging on to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given.

<u>By Telephone</u> – stockholders may vote by calling 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free) with a touch tone telephone and following the recorded instructions.

<u>By Mail</u> – stockholders must request a paper copy of the proxy materials to receive a proxy card and follow the instructions given for mailing. A paper copy of the proxy materials may be obtained by logging onto www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given. To vote using the proxy card, simply print the proxy card, complete, sign and date it and return it promptly to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. In the alternative, the proxy card can be mailed directly to the Company: Xiaohua Lu, our Chief Executive Officer or Thanh Lam our Chairperson of the Board, located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040. Our Board has selected Xiaohua Lu and Thanh Lam, the Chairperson of the Board to serve as proxy.

If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. Telephone and Internet voting are available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on October 30, 2025.

In Person - stockholders may vote in person at the Special Meeting. To vote in person, come to the Special Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Special Meeting.

Shares of our common stock represented by proxies properly voted that are received by us and are not revoked will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein.

If instructions are not given, such proxies will be voted:

● **"FOR**" the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of our authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares; and

● **"FOR**" the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from "Nova LifeStyle, Inc." to "XMax Inc."; and

● **"FOR**" the grant of discretionary authority to the Company's Chairperson of the Board and CEO to adjourn the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposals 1 and 2.

*Street Name Stockholders*

If you hold your shares in "street name" through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of such shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Special Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote those shares at the meeting. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Special Meeting.

If you hold your shares in "street name" through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you can most conveniently vote by telephone, Internet or mail. Please review the voting instructions on your voting instruction form.

Your proxy is revocable at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting in any of the following three ways:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. You may submit another properly completed proxy bearing a later date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Xiaohua Lu, our CEO or Thanh Lam our Chairperson of the Board, located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. You may attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. However, simply attending the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

***What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?***

It means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for each account for which you have received a set of proxy materials.

***Who is soliciting my vote pursuant to this Proxy Statement?***

Our Board is soliciting your vote at the Special Meeting. The cost of solicitation will be borne by us. Our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone, fax, electronic transmission or other means of communication. We will not pay these directors and employees any additional compensation for these services. We will ask banks, brokerage firms, and other institutions, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principal, and to obtain authority to execute proxies, and will reimburse them for their expenses.

***Who is entitled to vote?***

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

***How many shares are eligible to be voted?***

As of the Record Date, we had [ ] shares of common stock outstanding. Each outstanding share of our common stock will entitle its holder to one vote on each of the matters to be voted on at the Special Meeting.

***What am I voting on?***

You are voting on the following matters:

1. To approve an amendment
 to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of our authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share,
 from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares (the "Share Increase Amendment");

2. To approve an amendment
 to our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from "Nova LifeStyle, Inc." to "XMax Inc."
 (the "Name Change Amendment");

3. To approve a proposal to
 grant discretionary authority to the Company's Chairperson of the Board and CEO to adjourn the Special Meeting for the purpose
 of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposals 1 and 2. ("Adjournment")

***How does the Board recommend that I vote?***

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

● **"FOR**" the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of our authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares; and

● **"FOR**" the amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from "Nova LifeStyle, Inc." to "XMax Inc."; and

● **"FOR**" the grant of discretionary authority to the Company's Chairperson of the Board and CEO to adjourn the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposals 1 and 2.

None of our directors have informed us in writing that he or she intends to oppose any action intended to be taken by us at the Special Meeting.

***How many votes are required to hold the Special Meeting and what are the voting procedures?***

***<u>Quorum Requirement</u>***: As of the Record Date, [ ] shares of the Company's common stock were issued and outstanding. The presence of at least one-third of all of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting. If you submit a properly executed proxy, then you will be considered part of the quorum.

***<u>Required Votes</u>***: Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Special Meeting. If there is a quorum at the Special Meeting, the matters to be voted upon by the stockholders require the following votes for such matter to be approved:

●  ***Approval of the Share Increase Amendment*** : The affirmative vote of the holders of at least the majority of the voting power of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is necessary to approve the Share Increase Amendment. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

●  ***Approval of the Name Change Amendment*** : The affirmative vote of the holders of at least the majority of the voting power of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is necessary to approve the Name Change Amendment. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

●  ***Approval of the Adjournment*** : The affirmative vote of the holders of at least the majority of the voting power of the votes cast (in person or by proxy) at the Special Meeting is necessary to approve the Adjournment. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

If a broker indicates on its proxy that it submits to the Company that it does not have authority to vote certain shares held in "street name," the shares not voted are referred to as "broker non-votes." Broker non-votes occur when brokers do not have discretionary voting authority to vote certain shares held in "street name" on particular proposals, and the "beneficial owner" of those shares has not instructed the broker how to vote on those proposals. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee is permitted to vote your shares for or against "routine" matters. Brokers are not permitted to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your shares for or against "non-routine" matters.

***How may a stockholder bring any other business before the Special Meeting?***

The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws") provide that at the special meetings the only business which may be transacted is that relating to the purpose or purposes set forth in the notice thereof, and, as such, stockholders shall not be permitted to propose other business at the Special Meeting.

***Who is paying for the costs of this proxy solicitation?***

The Company will bear the cost of preparing, printing and mailing the materials in connection with this solicitation of proxies. In addition to mailing these materials, directors, officers and employees of the Company may, without being additionally compensated, solicit proxies personally and by mail, telephone, facsimile or electronic communication.

***Who will count the votes?***

The inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting will receive and tabulate the ballots and voting instruction forms.

**PROPOSAL NO. 1**— **SHARE INCREASE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION**

The Company is asking you to approve the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of Nova LifeStyle, Inc., which would increase the amount of authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Company from 250,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 shares.

On September 15, 2025, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution setting forth a proposed amendment to Company's Articles of Incorporation, which would, subject to stockholder approval, increase the total number of our authorized shares of our Common Stock from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares (the "Share Increase Amendment"). The resolution also provided that the proposed Share Increase Amendment be presented to the stockholders for approval at a Special Meeting of the Stockholders with the recommendation of the Board that the stockholders approve the proposed Share Increase Amendment. A copy of the proposed Certificate of Change to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of our authorized shares of our Common Stock from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares is attached hereto as **<u>Annex A</u>**.

Except as set forth in the Share Increase Amendment and Name Change Amendment below, all of the remaining provisions of the current Articles of Incorporation of the Company will remain in full force and effect without change.

If the proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to increase the total number of our authorized shares of our Common Stock from 250,000,000 shares to 5,000,000,000 shares is approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting, a Certificate of Change to our Articles of Incorporation will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as soon as practicable after the Special Meeting. Upon such filing with the Secretary of State of Nevada, the Share Increase Amendment will become effective.

**Reasons and Effects of the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock**

Potential uses of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock may include public or private offerings, conversions of convertible securities, issuance of stock or stock options to employees, acquisition transactions and other general corporate purposes. Increasing the authorized number of shares of the Common Stock will give us greater flexibility and will allow the Company to issue such shares, in most cases, without the expense or delay of seeking shareholder approval. The Company may issue shares of its Common Stock in connection with financing and/or acquisition transactions and other corporate purposes which the Board of Directors believes will be in the best interest of the Company's stockholders. The additional shares of Common Stock will have the same rights as the presently authorized shares, including the right to cast one vote per share of Common Stock. Increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock will not alter the number of shares of common stock presently issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance and will not change the relative rights of holders of any shares. The additional authorized shares of common stock, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock previously authorized, issued and outstanding. Those rights do not include preemptive rights with respect to the future issuance of any additional shares. Although the authorization of additional shares will not, in itself, have any effect on the rights of any holder of our Common Stock, the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock (other than by way of a stock split or dividend) would have the effect of diluting the voting rights, and could have the effect of diluting earnings per share and book value per share, of existing stockholders. The Board has declared the proposed Share Increase Amendment to be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and is submitting the Share Increase Amendment to a vote of our stockholders.

**Anti-takeover Effects**

SEC rules and regulations require disclosure of the possible anti-takeover effects of an increase in authorized capital stock and other charter and bylaw provisions that could have an anti-takeover effect. Although the Board has not proposed the Share Increase Amendment and the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock with the intent of using the additional shares to prevent or discourage any actual or threatened takeover of the Company, under certain circumstances, such shares could have an anti-takeover effect. The additional shares of common stock could be issued to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company or could be issued to persons allied with the Board or management and, thereby, have the effect of making it more difficult to remove directors or members of management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to effect such a removal. Accordingly, if the proposed Share Increase Amendment and authorized common stock increase is approved, the additional shares of authorized common stock may render more difficult or discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of common stock, or the replacement or removal of the Board or management.

This proposal is not prompted by any specific effort or takeover threat currently perceived by the Board or management.

As of October [●], 2025, the Company is authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of its common stock, of which, [●] shares were issued and outstanding. Additional shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plan and other outstanding securities, including (collectively, the "Anticipated Share Reserves"):

● 1,500 shares of unvested restricted stock of the Company;

● 3,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Company's 2024 Omnibus Equity Plan (the "2024 Plan"), 444,000 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Company's 2023 Omnibus Equity Plan (the "2023 Plan"), 59,750 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under the Company's 2021 Omnibus Equity Plan (the "2021 Plan"); and

● 6,384,200 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants.

We do not currently have any definitive agreements or plans to issue the additional shares of common stock that would be authorized as a result of approving the proposed Share Increase Amendment. We review and evaluate potential capital raising activities, transactions and other corporate actions on an ongoing basis to determine if such actions would be in the Company's best interest and the best interest of our stockholders.

**Required Vote**

Approval of the Share Increase Amendment requires a quorum to be present and an affirmative vote of a majority of our common stock voted at the Special Meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. Adoption of the Share Increase Amendment is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

**Recommendation of Board of Directors**

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS has approved and UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF THE Share Increase AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.**

**PROPOSAL NO. 2** – **SHARE INCREASE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION**

The Company is asking you to approve the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, which would change its name from "Nova LifeStyle, Inc." to "XMax Inc." (the "Name Change").

On September 15, 2025, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution setting forth a proposed amendment to Company's Articles of Incorporation, which would, subject to stockholder approval, change its name from "Nova LifeStyle, Inc." to "XMax Inc. The Company's furniture importation and distribution business have been negatively impacted by the trade war and tariffs imposed by the United States on products manufactured in China and other Asian countries where its purchases its products to sell in the United States. The Board believes the name change reflects the Company's strategic transition from traditional furniture business to AI-driven smart living solutions. The new name, XMax, embodies a modern and futuristic identity that better aligns with the Company's evolving vision and image. A copy of the proposed Certificate of Amendment to amend the Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's name from "Nova LifeStyle, Inc." to "XMax Inc.", approved by the Board on September 20, 2025, is attached hereto as **<u>Annex B</u>**.

If approved by our shareholders, a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation for the Name Change will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as soon as practicable after the Special Meeting. Upon such filing with the Secretary of State of Nevada, the Name Change Amendment will become effective.

Except as set forth in the Share Increase Amendment above and Name Change Amendment, all of the remaining provisions of the current Articles of Incorporation of the Company will remain in full force and effect without change.

Upon approval of this proposal and the filing of the articles of amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, our Board of Directors will amend our By-Laws to replace any references to "Nova LifeStyle, Inc" with "XMax Inc.", for which shareholder approval is not required.

The Company's common stock is currently listed for trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "NVFY." The Company has reserved trading symbol "XWIN" with Nasdaq and will change to the new trading symbol as soon as the name change is effective. If the name change becomes effective, the rights of shareholders holding certificated shares under currently outstanding stock certificates and the number of shares represented by those certificates will remain unchanged. The name change will not affect the validity or transferability of any currently outstanding stock certificates nor will it be necessary for shareholders with certificated shares to surrender any stock certificates they currently hold as a result of the name change. After the name change, all new stock certificates issued by the Company and all uncertificated shares held in direct registration accounts, including uncertificated shares currently held in direct registration accounts, will bear the name "XMax Inc."

**Required Vote**

Approval of the Name Change Amendment requires a quorum to be present and an affirmative vote of a majority of our common stock voted at the Special Meeting. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. Adoption of the Name Change Amendment is not conditioned upon the adoption of any of the other proposals.

**Recommendation of Board of Directors**

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS has approved and UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE** "**FOR**" **THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE Name Change Amendment.**

**PROPOSAL NO. 3** – **GRANT OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING**

Although it is not expected, the Special Meeting may be adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies. Any such adjournment of the Special Meeting may be made without notice, other than by the announcement made at the Special Meeting, by approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of our Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, whether or not a quorum exists. We are soliciting proxies to grant discretionary authority to the Company's Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary, for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of Proposals 1 and 2. The Chairperson of the Board and Chief Executive Officer will have the discretion to decide whether or not to use the authority granted to such person pursuant to this Proposal 3 to adjourn the Special Meeting.

**Vote Required**

The affirmative vote of a majority of all of the votes present or represented and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is required to approve this Proposal 3. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal.

**Recommendation of Board of Directors**

**THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT COMPANY'S STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE GRANT OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORITY TO ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING.**

**OTHER BUSINESS**

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management does not know of any other matters that will be brought before the Special Meeting requiring action of the stockholders. However, if any other matters requiring the vote of the stockholders properly come before the Special Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the proxies in accordance with the discretion of management. The persons designated as proxies will also have the right to approve any and all adjournments of the Special Meeting for any reason.

**STOCKHOLDERS SHARING THE SAME ADDRESS**

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers, banks and other nominees) to implement a delivery procedure called "householding." Under this procedure, multiple stockholders who reside at the same address may receive a single copy of the Proxy Statement and other proxy materials, unless the affected shareholder has provided contrary instructions. This procedure reduces printing costs and postage fees. Under applicable law, if you consented or were deemed to have consented, your broker, bank or other intermediary may send only one copy of the Proxy Statement and other proxy materials to your address for all residents that own shares of the Company's common stock in street name. If you wish to revoke your consent to householding, you must contact your broker, bank or other intermediary. If you are receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Statement and other proxy materials, you may be able to request householding by contacting your broker, bank or other intermediary. If you received a householding mailing and you would like to have additional copies of proxy statement and proxy materials mailed to you or you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings, contact our Corporate Secretary, located at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this Proxy Statement and proxy materials to any stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of those documents was delivered. If you wish to request copies free of charge of the Proxy Statement or other proxy materials, please send your request to Nova LifeStyle, Inc., at 6565 E. Washington Blvd., Commerce, CA 90040, Attention: Corporate Secretary or call the Company with your request at (323) 888-9999.

**YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT**

**You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting. However, to ensure that your shares are represented at the meeting, please submit your proxy or voting instructions. Please see the instructions on the proxy and voting instruction card. Submitting a proxy or voting instructions will not prevent you from attending the Special Meeting and voting in person, if you so desire, but will help the Company secure a quorum and reduce the expense of additional proxy solicitation**.
