**SOLITRON DEVICES, INC.**

 **901 Sansburys Way**

 **West Palm Beach, Florida 33411**

**PROXY STATEMENT**

 **2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders**

 **To be held on April 24, 2026**

**General**

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Solitron Devices, Inc. of proxies to be voted at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") and at any and all postponements or adjournments thereof. Our Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, April 24, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, at 901 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you can obtain directions by contacting Lana Pazienza at (561) 848-4311 extension 208. A proxy notice containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement has first been mailed to stockholders on or about March 10, 2026. In this proxy statement, Solitron Devices, Inc. is referred to as the "Company," "we," "our" or "us."

**Purposes of the Meeting**

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will consider and vote upon the following matters:

(1) The election of one (1) director as the Class III director to serve for a term until the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until a successor is duly elected and qualified;

(2) The ratification of the selection of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company's independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026;

(3) A non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers of the Company ("Say on Pay"); and

(4) The transaction of such other and further business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

**Outstanding Securities and Voting Rights**

Only holders of record of the Company's common stock at the close of business on February 27, 2026, the record date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On that date, we had 2,147,703 shares of common stock outstanding that are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting.

The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Under New York Stock Exchange rules, brokers who do not have instructions from their customers may not use their discretion to vote on Proposal 1 — Election of Directors and Proposal 3 — Say on Pay. As a result, any broker that is a member of the New York Stock Exchange will not have the discretion to vote on Proposals 1 and 3 if such broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. A broker non-vote or an abstention will have no effect on the proposals, except that an abstention will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 2 — ratification of Whitley Penn LLP as our independent certified public accountants for the year ending February 28, 2026 and Proposal 3 — Say on Pay proposal.

------

**Proxy Voting**

Shares for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the directions given or, in the absence of directions, will be voted "**FOR**" Proposal 1 — the election of the nominees to the Board named herein, "**FOR**" Proposal 2 — the ratification of Whitley Penn LLP as our independent certified public accountants for the year ending February 28, 2026 and "**FOR**" Proposal 3 — the approval of the Say on Pay proposal. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the person named in the proxies in the accompanying proxy card will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.

*Voting by Stockholders of Record.*

If you are a stockholder of record (your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent), you may vote by proxy via the Internet or by mail by following the instructions provided on the proxy card. Stockholders of record who attend the Annual Meeting may vote in person by obtaining a ballot from the inspector of elections. Please be prepared to present photo identification for voting at the Annual Meeting.

*Voting by Beneficial Owners.*

If you are a beneficial owner of shares (your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee), you may vote by proxy by following the instructions provided in the vote instruction form, or other materials provided to you by the brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares. To vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares, and present such legal proxy from the brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares for admittance to the Annual Meeting. Also, be prepared to present photo identification for voting at the Annual Meeting.

*Changing Your Vote.*

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Annual Meeting. You may vote again on a later date via the Internet (only your latest Internet proxy submitted prior to the meeting will be counted), by signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Annual Meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked.

All votes will be tabulated by an Inspector of Elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. A list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Company's executive office, located at 901 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411, for a period of ten (10) days prior to the Annual Meeting and will be available at the Annual Meeting for examination by any stockholder.

*Record Holders with Shared Address*

Record holders who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of their proxy materials, unless we are notified that one or more of these record holders wishes to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce the Company's printing costs and postage fees. Stockholders who do not participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. If you are eligible for householding, but you and other record holders with whom you share an address, receive multiple copies of these proxy materials, or if you hold the Company's stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of each of these documents for your household, please contact the Company's Corporate Secretary at: Solitron Devices, Inc., 901 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411, Attention: Corporate Secretary. If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of these proxy materials, or if you do not wish to continue to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies of these documents in the future, please contact the Company's Corporate Secretary as indicated above. Beneficial owners can request information about householding from their brokers, banks or other holders of record.

*Availability of Annual Report on Form 10-K*

As required, we have filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 with the SEC. Shareholders may obtain, free of charge, a copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 by writing to us at 901 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or from our corporate website at www.solitrondevices.com.

**ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of five (5) directors divided into three separate classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with one class being elected each year to serve a staggered three-year term. Our Class I directors are Dwight P. Aubrey and John F. Chiste; our Class II directors are Tim Eriksen and David W. Pointer; and our Class III director is Charles M. Gillman.

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, our Board has nominated Charles M. Gillman to stand for election as our Class III director to serve for a term until the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until a successor is duly elected and qualified. Mr. Gillman is a current director who is standing for re-election upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee.

Mr. Gillman is willing and able to serve as a director. If Mr. Gillman becomes unavailable for any reason, a situation which is not anticipated, a substitute nominee may be proposed by the Board, and any shares represented by proxy will be voted for the substitute nominee, unless the Board reduces the number of directors.

The Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company (the "By-laws") require directors to be elected by a majority of votes cast with respect to such director in uncontested elections (meaning the number of votes cast "for" a director's election must exceed the number of votes cast "against" that director's election).

The By-laws provide that in order for any incumbent director to become a nominee of the Board of Directors for further service on the Board of Directors, such person must submit an irrevocable resignation, contingent on (i) that person not receiving a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, and (ii) acceptance of that resignation by the Board of Directors in accordance with the By-Laws and any policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors for such purpose. If an incumbent director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, the independent directors of the Board of Directors (or, if the Board of Directors so directs, any nominating or other committee established by the Board of Directors pursuant to the By-Laws) will make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation of such incumbent director, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the resignation, taking into account the recommendation of the independent directors or any such committee, and will disclose (by a press release and by filing an appropriate disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")) its decision regarding the resignation (and, if such resignation is rejected, the rationale behind the decision) within 90 days following certification of the election results. If such incumbent director's resignation is not accepted by the Board of Directors, such director will continue to serve until the annual meeting for the year in which his term expires and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, subject, however, to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. If the Board of Directors accepts such a director's resignation, or if any nominee for director is not elected and such nominee is not an incumbent director (and, as a result, any vacancy remains after the final adjournment of the meeting for the election of directors), then the Board of Directors may fill the resulting vacancy pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-Laws.

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the directors and nominees for director:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

Other than as described above, our directors and executive officers have not been convicted or named in a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic and other minor offenses), or subject to any judgment, order or legal proceeding of the nature described in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

***Board Meetings; Annual Meeting Attendance; Independence***

The Board oversees our business and affairs and monitors the performance of management. The Board met regularly during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 ("fiscal 2025") and continues to meet regularly to review matters affecting our company and to act on matters requiring Board approval. The Board also holds special meetings whenever circumstances require and may act by unanimous written consent. During fiscal 2025, the Board of Directors held seven (7) meetings and took three (3) actions by unanimous written consent. During fiscal 2025, all directors attended at least 75% of all Board meetings and committee meetings on which each served. The Board encourages, but does not require, its directors to attend the Company's annual meeting. All directors attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders either in person or telephonically.

The Board of Directors is currently composed of the following five directors: Messrs. Aubrey, Chiste, Eriksen, Gillman and Pointer. The Board has determined that Messrs. Aubrey, Chiste, Gillman and Pointer all meet the criteria for independence specified in the Nasdaq Stock Market Marketplace Rules (the "Nasdaq Rules").

***Code of Ethics***

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics for senior officers, which includes the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and controller, pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Code of Ethics is published on the Company's web site at *www.solitrondevices.com* on the Investor Relations page.

***Board Leadership Structure***

The Company's By-laws primarily provide the Board with flexibility, in its sole discretion, to separate the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. The Board decided to separate the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer because the Board believes that doing so provides the appropriate leadership structure for the Company at this time. The separation of those two positions enables the Company's Chief Executive Officer to focus on the management of the business and the development and implementation of strategic initiatives while the Chairman leads the Board in the performance of its responsibilities. At this time, the Board believes that the overall corporate governance policies and practices combined with the strength of the independent directors and internal controls will complement the separate positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The By-laws do however provide the Board with the flexibility to appoint a Chairman in the future who is also an officer of the Company.

***Board Oversight of Enterprise Risk***

The Board of Directors is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through the committees of the Board of Directors identified below but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the risk management function, specifically with respect to management's assessment of risk exposures (including risks related to liquidity, credit, operations and regulatory compliance, among others), and the processes in place to monitor and control such exposures. The Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board of Directors satisfies their oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee's considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

***Hedging Transactions***

The Company has not adopted any practices or policies regarding the ability of employees (including officers) or directors of the Company or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities (i) granted to the employee or director by the Company as part of the compensation of the employee or director or (ii) held, directly or indirectly, by the employee or director.

***Committees***

The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee.

***Audit Committee***

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Chiste (Chairman), and Aubrey. The Board of Directors has determined that the members of the Audit Committee are independent pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules. The Company's Audit Committee generally has responsibility for appointing, overseeing and approving the compensation of our independent certified public accountants, reviewing and approving the discharge of our independent certified public accountants, reviewing the scope and approach of the independent certified public accountants' audit, reviewing our audit and control functions, approving all non-audit services provided by our independent certified public accountants and reporting to our full Board of Directors regarding all of the foregoing. Additionally, our Audit Committee provides our Board of Directors with such additional information and materials as it may deem necessary to make our Board of Directors aware of significant financial matters that require its attention. The Company has adopted an Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is published on the Company's web site at *www.solitrondevices.com* on the Investor Relations page. The Company has determined that the "audit committee financial expert" is Mr. Chiste. The Audit Committee met four (4) times and took one (1) action by unanimous written consent during fiscal year 2025.

***Compensation Committee***

The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Aubrey (Chairman), Gillman and Pointer. The Board of Directors has determined that the members of the Compensation Committee are independent pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules.

The Compensation Committee has determined that no risks exist arising from the Company's compensation policies and practices for its employees that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. During fiscal year 2025, the Compensation Committee did not retain a compensation consultant to review our policies and procedures with respect to executive compensation. The Company has adopted a Compensation Committee Charter, a copy of which is published on the Company's website at *www.solitrondevices.com* on the Investor Relations page. The Compensation Committee Charter authorizes the Compensation Committee to delegate some or all of its authority to subcommittees when it deems appropriate. In particular, the Compensation Committee may delegate the approval of award grants and other transactions and other responsibilities regarding the administration of compensatory programs to a subcommittee consisting solely of members of the Compensation Committee who are (i) "Non-Employee Directors" for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or (ii) "outside directors" for the purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Compensation Committee did not meet during fiscal year 2025.

**Nominating Committee**

The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Gillman (Chairman), Chiste and Pointer. The Board of Directors has determined that the members of the Nominating Committee are independent pursuant to the Nasdaq Rules.

The Company has adopted a Nominating Committee Charter, a copy of which is published on the Company's website at *www.solitrondevices.com* on the Investor Relations page. The Nominating Committee did not meet, but it did take one (1) action by unanimous written consent during fiscal year 2025.

***Communications with our Board of Directors***

Any stockholder who wishes to send a communication to our Board of Directors should address the communication either to the Board of Directors or to the individual director c/o David W. Pointer, Chairman of the Board, Solitron Devices, Inc., 901 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach, Florida 33411. Mr. Pointer will forward to the directors all communications that, in his judgment, are appropriate for consideration by the directors. Examples of communications that would not be appropriate for consideration by the directors include commercial solicitations and matters not relevant to stockholders, to the functioning of the Board of Directors, or to the affairs of the Company.

***Nominees for Director***

The Nominating Committee will consider all qualified director candidates identified by various sources, including members of the Board, management and stockholders. Candidates for directors recommended by stockholders will be given the same consideration as those identified from other sources. The Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing each candidate's biographical information and assessing each candidate's independence, skills and expertise based on a number of factors. While we do not have a formal policy on diversity, when considering the selection of director nominees, the Nominating Committee considers individuals with diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, accomplishments, cultural backgrounds, and professional expertise, among other factors.

The Board of Directors has established board candidate selection criteria to be applied by the Nominating Committee and by the full Board of Directors in evaluating candidates for election to the Board. These criteria include general characteristics, areas of specific experience and expertise and considerations of diversity. The criteria include the following:

● Integrity and commitment to ethical behavior;

● Personal maturity and leadership skills, especially in related fields;

● Independence of thought;

● Diversity of background and experience;

● Broad business and/or professional experience with the understanding of business and financial affairs and the complexity of the Company's business;

● Commitment to the Company's business and its continued well-being; and

● Board members must be able to offer unbiased advice.

In addition to the minimum qualifications for each candidate described above, the Nominating Committee shall recommend that the Board of Directors select individuals to help ensure that:

● Board members have executive management experience;

● Board members have an understanding of the electronics/components industry;

● A majority of the Board consists of independent directors;

● Each of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee shall be comprised entirely of independent directors; and

● At least one member of the Audit Committee shall have such experience, education and other qualifications necessary to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" under SEC rules.

------

Only individuals who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article II, Section 12 of our By-laws shall be eligible for election as directors. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Company entitled to vote for the election of directors at the meeting who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Article II, Section 12 of our By-laws. Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made by timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be delivered or mailed to and received at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 30 days prior to the date of the meeting, provided, however, that in the event that less than 40 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, to be timely, a stockholder's notice must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made. Such stockholder's notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom such stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including each such person's written consent to serving as a director if elected); and (ii) as to the stockholder giving the notice (x) the name and address of such stockholder as they appear on the Company's books, and (y) the class and number of shares of the Company's capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder.

**SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS**

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has selected Whitley Penn as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026. Whitley Penn has served as our independent certified public accountants since August 30, 2023.

If the selection of Whitley Penn as our independent registered public accounting firm is not ratified by our stockholders, the Audit Committee will re-evaluate its selection, taking into consideration the stockholder vote on the ratification. However, the Audit Committee is solely responsible for selecting and terminating our independent registered public accounting firm, and may do so at any time at its discretion. A representative of Whitley Penn is expected to attend the Annual Meeting telephonically and be available to respond to appropriate questions. The representative also will be afforded an opportunity to make a statement, if he or she desires to do so.

**Auditor Fees and Services**

The following table sets forth the fees billed during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 by Whitley Penn. Whitley Penn was our independent certified public accountant retained for the audit of the fiscal years February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.

**Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures for Audit and Permitted Non-Audit Services**

The Audit Committee has a policy of considering and, if deemed appropriate, approving, on a case-by-case basis, any audit or permitted non-audit service proposed to be performed by the Company's principal accountant in advance of the performance of such service. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee has not implemented a policy or procedure which delegates the authority to approve, or pre-approve, audit or permitted non-audit services to be performed by the Company's principal accountant. In connection with making any pre-approval decision, the Audit Committee must consider whether the provision of such permitted non-audit services performed by the Company's principal accountant is consistent with maintaining the Company's principal accountant's status as our independent auditors at such time.

Consistent with these policies and procedures, the Audit Committee approved all of the services rendered by Whitley Penn for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, respectively, as described above.

**Vote Required and Recommendation**

The proposal to ratify the selection of Whitely Penn as our independent accountant for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "**FOR**" the proposal.

**REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE**

The Audit Committee reviews the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, for preparing the financial statements and for the report process. The Audit Committee members do not serve as professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management or the independent registered public accounting firm. We engaged Whitley Penn as our independent registered public accountants registered to report on the conformity of the Company's financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In this context, the Audit Committee hereby reports as follows:

1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management of the Company.

2. The Audit Committee has discussed with Whitley Penn, our independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") and the SEC.

3. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from Whitley Penn required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and the Audit Committee has discussed the independence of Whitley Penn with that firm.

4. Based on the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors approved the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025, for filing with the SEC.

The foregoing has been furnished by the Audit Committee:

John F. Chiste, Chairman

Dwight P. Aubrey

*This* "*Audit Committee Report*" *is not* "*Soliciting Material,*" *is not deemed filed with the SEC and it not to be incorporated by reference in any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, whether made before or after the date hereof and irrespective of any general incorporation language in any such filing.*

**NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON**

 **SAY ON PAY**

**Background of the Proposal**

The Dodd-Frank Act requires all public companies to hold a separate non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of executive officers as described in the executive compensation tables and any related information in each such company's proxy statement (commonly known as a "Say on Pay" proposal). Accordingly, we are providing a vote on the resolution set forth below as required by the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The stockholder vote at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders supported an annual non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the named executive officer of the Company. Accordingly, the Company has determined that such vote will be held annually until the next advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation, which will be at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. At our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, our executive compensation program was approved on an advisory basis by approximately 79% of the votes cast.

**Executive Compensation**

The Board of Directors believes that our executive compensation programs are designed to secure and retain the services of high quality executives and to provide compensation to our executives that are commensurate and aligned with our performance and advances both the short and long-term interests of our company and our stockholders. We have historically sought to achieve these objectives through three principal compensation programs: base salary, annual cash incentive bonus, and long-term equity incentives, in the form of grants of equity awards. Base salaries are designed primarily to attract and retain talented executives. Annual cash incentive bonuses are designed to motivate and reward hard work and dedication to the Company. Grants of equity are designed to provide a strong incentive for achieving long-term results by aligning the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, while at the same time encouraging our executives to remain with us. The Board of Directors believes that our compensation program for our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025 was appropriately based upon our performance and the individual performance and level of responsibility of the executive officers.

This Say on Pay proposal is set forth in the following resolution:

**RESOLVED**, that the stockholders of Solitron Devices, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed in the Solitron Devices, Inc.'s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables, and any related information found in the proxy statement of Solitron Devices, Inc.

Because your vote on this proposal is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee or the Company. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

**Vote Required and Recommendation**

The advisory vote on the Say on Pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "**FOR**" the Say on Pay proposal.

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

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities with the SEC. These individuals are required by the regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

**Insider Trading Policy**

The Company has implemented an Insider Trading Policy applicable to its officers, directors and employees with access to material nonpublic information, as well as such persons' family members, which prohibits such persons from conducting transactions involving the purchase or sale of the Company's securities while in possession of material nonpublic information. A copy of the Company's Insider Trading Policy is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2025.

While the granting of options and other equity awards to officers, directors and other employees is not expressly addressed in the Insider Trading Policy described above, the Company follows the same principles set forth in such Policy when granting equity awards, including options, to its officers, directors and other employees with access to material nonpublic information. Generally, the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee does not approve grants of such awards close in time to the disclosure of material nonpublic information and does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such an award. Further, the Company does not have a policy or practice of timing the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

**Anti-Hedging Policies**

Under the Company's Insider Trading Policy, all officers, directors and employees are prohibited from engaging in hedging, pledging or shoring transactions.
