or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a legal proxy from your broker or other agent authorizing you to vote your shares when you register for the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Shares represented by valid proxies, received in time for the Annual Meeting and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting. For instructions on how to change or revoke your proxy, see “May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?” below. How Many Votes Do I Have? Each share of our Common Stock that you own entitles you to one vote. How Do I Vote?

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to vote by proxy. All shares represented by valid proxies that we receive through this solicitation and are not revoked will be voted in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card or as instructed via Internet. You may specify whether your shares should be voted for or withheld for each nominee for director, and whether your shares should be voted for, against or abstain with respect to each of the other proposals. If you properly submit a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as noted below. Voting by proxy will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name through our stock transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC, or you have stock certificates registered in your name, you may vote:

•        By Internet.    Follow the instructions included in the Notice or, if you received printed materials, in the proxy card to vote by Internet.

•        By Telephone.    Follow the instructions included in the Notice or, if you received printed materials, in the proxy card to vote by telephone.

•        By mail.    If you received a proxy card by mail, you can vote by mail by completing, signing, dating and returning the proxy card as instructed on the card. If you sign the proxy card but do not specify how you want your shares voted, they will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors as noted below.

•        At the Annual Meeting.    If you attend the Annual Meeting virtually, you may vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions when you log in for the Annual Meeting at https://meeting.vstocktransfer.com/SYNERGYJUNE25. Have your proxy card or Notice in hand as you will be prompted to enter your 12-digit control number to vote at the Annual Meeting. Electronic entry to the Annual Meeting will begin 15 minutes before the start of the meeting.

Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., E.T. on June 17, 2025. Telephone and Internet voting facilities for beneficial holders will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. E.T. on June 17, 2025.

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record), you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and Internet voting also will be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker or agent to obtain a legal proxy authorizing you to vote your shares when you register for the Annual Meeting.

How Does Our Board of Directors Recommend that I Vote on the Proposals?

Our board of directors recommends that you vote as follows:

•        “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director (Proposal 1);

•        “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of RBSM LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 (Proposal 2);

•        “FOR” the approval of the proposed amendment to the 2024 Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan to 2,252,102 shares of Common Stock (Proposal 3);

•        “FOR” the approval of the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to the authorize the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock (Proposal 4).

If any other matter is presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy provides that your shares will be voted by the proxy holder listed in the proxy in accordance with his or her best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was first made available, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

May I Change or Revoke My Proxy?

If you give us your proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before the Annual Meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy in any one of the following ways:

•        if you received a proxy card, by signing a new proxy card with a date later than your previously delivered proxy and submitting it as instructed above;

•        by re-voting by Internet as instructed above;

•        by notifying Synergy CHC Corp.’s Corporate Secretary in writing before the Annual Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

•        by attending the Annual Meeting virtually and voting online. Attending the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a previously submitted proxy. You must specifically vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting to revoke your previously submitted proxy.

Your most current vote, whether by telephone, Internet or proxy card, is the one that will be counted.

What if I Receive More Than One Notice or Proxy Card?

You may receive more than one Notice or proxy card if you hold shares of our Common Stock in more than one account, which may be in registered form or held in street name. Please vote in the manner described above under “How Do I Vote?” for each account to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

Will My Shares be Voted if I Do Not Vote?

If your shares are registered in your name or if you have stock certificates, they will not be counted if you do not vote as described above under “How Do I Vote?” If your shares are held in street name and you do not provide voting instructions to the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares as described above, the bank, broker or other nominee that holds your shares has the authority to vote your unvoted shares only on matters that are deemed “routine,” such as the proposal to ratify the appointment of the auditors (Proposal 2). Therefore, we encourage you to provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee. This ensures your shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting and in the manner you desire. A “broker non-vote” will occur if your broker cannot vote your shares on a particular matter because it has not received instructions from you and does not have discretionary voting authority on that matter or because your broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it does have discretionary voting authority.

What Vote is Required to Approve Each Proposal and How are Votes Counted?

Proposal 1: Elect Directors The nominees for director who receive the most votes (also known as a “plurality” of the votes cast) will be elected. You may vote either FOR all of the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all of the nominees or WITHHOLD your vote from any one or more of the nominees. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of the directors. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote customers’ unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of the directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a customer will be treated as a broker non -vote . Such broker non -votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.
