PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2022 VIRTUAL ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Virtual Annual Stockholders
Meeting to Be Held on November 8, 2022

The Proxy Statement and annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 are available at https://www.iproxydirect.com/vtsi.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of VirTra, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “VirTra,” “we,” “our” or “us”), of proxies to be voted at our 2022 Virtual Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will take place on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, beginning at 2:30 p.m., local time (4:30 pm Eastern Time), at https://agm.issuerdirect.com/vtsi. You will need to provide your 12-digit control number that is on your proxy card to gain access to the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors of the Company urges you to promptly execute and return your proxy in the enclosed envelope, even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. This is designed to authenticate stockholders’ identities, to allow stockholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that stockholders’ instructions have been recorded properly. For additional information on how to obtain directions to be able to virtually attend the Annual Meeting and vote at the Annual Meeting, please write to the Company’s Secretary at VirTra, Inc., 295 E. Corporate Place, Chandler, Arizona 85225 or call (480) 968-1488.

Any stockholder submitting a proxy may revoke such proxy at any time prior to its exercise by notifying the Secretary of the Company, in writing, prior to the Annual Meeting. Any stockholder virtually attending the Annual Meeting may revoke his or her proxy and vote personally by notifying the Secretary of the Company at the Annual Meeting.

This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting, and accompanying proxy are being furnished to record holders at the close of business on September 23, 2022 (the “Record Date”), the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had 10,888,259 outstanding shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), outstanding. Web links and addresses contained in this Proxy Statement are provided for convenience only, and the content on the referenced websites does not constitute a part of this Proxy Statement.

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Therefore, holders of a majority of the votes of holders of the Common Stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors.

If you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the organization that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on the election of directors. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting.

If the accompanying proxy card is signed and returned, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the directions on the proxy card. Unless a stockholder specifies otherwise therein, the proxy will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors on all proposals.

Holders of our Common Stock representing one-third of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person (virtually, in the case of this Annual Meeting) or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote which are present in person (virtually in the case of this Annual Meeting) or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting is required to elect directors and to approve each other proposal to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. Shares represented by proxies which are marked or voted (i) “abstain” with respect to the election of the director nominees and remaining proposals to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting, or (ii) to deny discretionary authority on other matters will be counted for the purpose of determining the number of shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Such proxies will thus have the same effect as if the shares represented thereby were voted against such nominee or nominees and against the remaining proposals. Shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to vote on a proposal and have not received voting instructions from their clients are considered “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes are considered present or represented for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be considered in determining the number of votes necessary for approval and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for directors or the remaining proposals. As such, for your vote to be counted if you are the beneficial owner of shares held by your broker, you must submit your voting instruction form to your broker.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At our Annual Meeting, holders of our voting stock will be asked to vote on the following proposals:

1.	To elect five directors to the Company’s Board to serve until the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are elected and qualified; and
2.	To ratify the appointment of Haynie & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022; and
3.	Such other business as may appropriately come before the Annual Meeting.

Will any other business be considered at the Annual Meeting?

Our bylaws provide that a stockholder may present a proposal at the Annual Meeting that is not included in this proxy statement only if proper written notice was received by us. No stockholder has given the timely notice required by our bylaws in order to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting. Our Board does not intend to present any other matters for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting?

You may vote if you owned shares of our Common Stock as of the close of business on September 23, 2022, the Record Date for determining who is eligible to attend and vote (virtually or by proxy) at the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, and your stock ownership is reflected in our record books. As of the close of business on the Record Date, our record book reflects that we had outstanding a total of 10,888,259 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote.

How many votes do I have?

You have one vote for each share of our Common Stock that you owned on the Record Date.

How many votes may be cast by all stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting?

A total of 10,888,259 votes may be cast at the Annual Meeting with respect to each proposal, consisting of one vote for each share of our Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date. There is no cumulative voting for the election of directors.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

Holders of our Common Stock representing one-third of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date, represented in person (virtually) or by proxy, must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if:

● You are present (virtually) and vote at the Annual Meeting;

● You have properly and timely submitted your vote as described below under “How do I vote my shares?”; or

● You hold your shares in street name, as described below, and you do not provide voting instructions and your broker, bank, trust or other nominee uses its discretion to vote your shares.

If a quorum is not present or represented at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders and proxies entitled to vote will have the power to adjourn the Annual Meeting, without notice other than an announcement at that time, until a quorum is present or represented.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 3

What is a proxy?

It is your designation of another person to vote stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you also may direct the proxy how to vote your shares. We refer to this as your “proxy vote.” Two of our executive officers, Robert D. Ferris and John F. Givens II, have been designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting.

What is a proxy statement?

It is a document that we are required to give you, in accordance with regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), when we ask you to designate proxies to vote your shares of our voting stock at an annual meeting of our stockholders. The proxy statement includes information regarding the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting and certain other information required by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”).

What is the difference between a “stockholder of record” and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, while you are considered the beneficial owner of those shares. In that case, your shares are said to be held in “street name.” Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their shares using the method described below under “How do I vote my shares?”.

How do I vote my shares?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in the following ways:

● By Internet before the Annual Meeting. If you have received a printed copy of the proxy materials from us by mail, you may vote electronically via the Internet at www.issuerdirect.com/virtual-event/vtsi. To be valid, your vote must be received by us by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 7, 2022.

● By Mail. If you have received a printed copy of the proxy materials from us by mail, you may vote by completing, signing and dating the enclosed proxy card where indicated and by mailing or otherwise returning the proxy card in the envelope provided to us. To be valid, your vote by mail must be received by us by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 7, 2022.

● At the Annual Meeting. You can vote your shares during the virtual Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners. If you are a beneficial owner, you may vote by submitting voting instructions to your broker or other nominee holding your shares. You should follow the voting instructions provided by your broker or nominee in order to instruct your broker or nominee on how to vote your shares.

Your vote is important, and we encourage you to vote promptly.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction form, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, you will need to be sure to vote once for each account.

What if I do not specify how I want my shares voted?

If you submit a signed proxy card or submit your proxy by Internet and do not specify how you want to vote your shares, we will vote your shares FOR the election of each of the five nominees to the Board.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 4

Note: If you are a street name holder and fail to instruct your broker, bank, trust or other nominee how you want to vote your shares on a particular matter, those shares are considered to be “uninstructed.” If the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is not permitted to exercise discretion, the uninstructed shares will be referred to as “broker non-votes.”

Your vote is very important. We urge you to vote, or to instruct your broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote, on all matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

Can I revoke my proxy and change my vote?

Yes, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote by:

● Submitting a later-dated and properly executed proxy card to our Corporate Secretary at the Company’s address listed above, which must be received by us before the time of the Annual Meeting;

● Submitting a later-dated vote on the Internet, in a timely manner;

● Delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at the Company’s address listed above, which must be received by us before the time of the Annual Meeting; or

● Attending the Annual Meeting and voting. Your attendance (virtually) at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a proxy that you have previously submitted.

What vote is required to approve each item of business included in the Proxy?

Except as provided by law, according to the Company’s bylaws, if a quorum exists, action on a matter by the shareholders (including the election of Directors) is approved if a majority of the stock having voting power present during the virtual annual meeting or represented by proxy votes in favor of such matter (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as a vote cast with respect to that matter). This means that the number of shares voted FOR an action or matter must exceed the number of shares voted “Against” that action or matter.

How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR each of the nominees to the Board of Directors. We are not aware of any other matters that will be voted on at the 2022 Annual Meeting. If any other business properly comes before the Annual Meeting, however, the persons named as proxies for stockholders will vote on those matters in a manner they consider appropriate.

What are broker non-votes?

Generally, a broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker or other nominee that holds shares of Common Stock in “street name” for customers is precluded from exercising voting discretion on a particular proposal because (i) the beneficial owner has not instructed the bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and (ii) the bank, broker or other nominee lacks discretionary voting power to vote the Common Stock. A bank, broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to the approval of “non-routine” matters absent specific voting instructions from the beneficial owners of the Common Stock.

On non-routine items for which you do not give your broker instructions, the shares will be treated as broker non-votes. Proposals 1 and 3 are non-routine items. If you do not give your broker instructions with regard to each of these proposals, brokers will not be permitted to vote your shares of Common Stock at the Annual Meeting in relation to such proposals.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 5

Our management believes that Proposal 2 (ratification of the appointment of Haynie & Company as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022) is a “routine” matter for which brokers will have authority to vote your shares of Common Stock at the Annual Meeting if you do not give instruction on how to vote your shares. Consequently, if customers do not give any direction, brokers will be permitted to vote shares of Common Stock at the Annual Meeting in relation to Proposal 2. Nevertheless, we encourage you to submit your voting instructions to your broker to ensure your shares of Common Stock are voted at the Annual Meeting.

How will my shares be voted at the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, the Board (the persons named in the proxy card or, if applicable, their substitutes) will vote your shares of Common Stock as you instruct. If you submit a proxy but do not indicate how you would like to vote your Common Stock, your shares will be voted as the Board recommends, which is as follows:

● FOR Proposal 1 (election of directors proposal);

● FOR Proposal 2 (ratification of auditors).

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We plan to publish the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K (“Form 8-K”) filed within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available within the four business day timeframe, we plan to file a Form 8-K disclosing preliminary voting results within the required four business days, to be followed as soon as practicable by an amendment to the Form 8-K containing the final voting results.

What happens if the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned?

If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted when the Annual Meeting is convened or reconvened. You may change or revoke your proxy until it is voted.

Are members of the Board required to attend the Annual Meeting?

Directors are encouraged, but not required, to attend the Annual Meeting.

What happens if stockholders approve one or more proposals but not others?

Approval of any one proposal is not dependent on stockholders approving any other proposal. Therefore, if stockholders approve one proposal, but not others, the approved proposal would still take effect. For example, if stockholders approve the election of all directors, but do not approve the ratification of auditors, the directors would still be deemed elected by stockholders. Note, however, if Proposal 2 (ratification of auditors) is not approved, the Audit Committee will consider whether it is appropriate to select another independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the fiscal year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?

We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the charges and expenses of brokerage firms or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of shares held in street name. We also will reimburse banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and certain fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses incurred in mailing proxy materials to their principals.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 6

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Five directors are to be elected at the Annual Meeting. Four of the director nominees, Messrs. Ferris, Givens, Brown and Richardson, were elected at the last annual meeting of shareholders held in October 2021. Mr. Matt Burlend, who was elected as a director in October 2021, departed the Company in August 2022, creating a vacancy on the Board. Mr. Gregg Johnson, a director nominee, was identified as a candidate for election as a director by the Board and the executive officers of the Company based on his previous experience working with smaller publicly-traded companies.

Each of the nominees, including Mr. Johnson, was recommended for nomination for election by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors. Each of the nominees has consented to serve as a director if elected. If, at the time of the Annual Meeting, any nominee should be unable to serve, it is the intention of the persons designated as proxies to vote, in their discretion, for such other persons as may be designated as a nominee by the Board.

The Company’s bylaws require directors to be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as a vote cast with respect to that director).

All of our directors and director nominees are encouraged to attend the annual meetings of our stockholders.

The Board of Directors held five meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, and acted by unanimous written consent two times.

Board Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of each of Messrs. Ferris, Brown, Givens, Richardson, and Johnson. Proxies will be voted FOR the election of the five nominees, unless otherwise specified.

Director Nominees

The following table sets forth the names, positions and ages of our director nominees, each of whom currently serves as a member of our Board of Directors.

Name	Age	Position/Title
Robert D. Ferris	50	Co-Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board
John F. Givens II	58	Co-Chief Executive Officer and Director
Jeffrey D. Brown	59	Director
James Richardson	46	Director
Gregg C.E. Johnson	57	Director Nominee

Biographical information concerning the director nominees listed above is set forth below:

Robert D. Ferris. Mr. Ferris has been our Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors since 2008 and has been our President since founding Ferris Productions, Inc. (“Ferris Productions”) in 1993. Mr. Ferris has led VirTra in providing the market with revolutionary simulation training products that today impact millions of people in 32 counties. He has been awarded multiple patents, spoken at various trade shows, and has written or assisted with various ground-breaking articles and studies in the fields of virtual reality and simulation technology. Mr. Ferris is considered one of the top experts in the world at applying virtual reality and simulation technology to solve real world problems. Mr. Ferris attended the U.S. Air Force Academy and received a bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering from the University of Arizona. We believe Mr. Ferris’ history as a founder, officer and director of our company, and his management experience and industry knowledge, provide the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives and experience that make him well qualified to serve as Chairman of our Board of Directors.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 7

John F. Givens II. Mr. Givens has been our Co-Chief Executive Officer since April 2022 and has served as a director of our company since November 2020. Mr. Givens has over 20 years’ experience as a board member, entrepreneur, and corporate executive. He currently serves as a military board advisor to Bohemia Interactive Simulations (BISim), a global developer of advanced military simulation and training software. In 2010, Mr. Givens established the US company of BISim, and as president, took military simulations products from inception to production. Mr. Givens has achieved numerous awards and honors, including appointment to the board of directors of the National Center for Simulation (NCS), an association of defense companies, and the “Pioneer Awards” for outstanding contributions and innovations to the training and effectiveness of US and overseas soldiers, sailors, and airmen. Mr. Givens graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the Florida Institute of Technology and proudly served in the United States Army. We believe Mr. Givens history as founder and president of BISim, and his business development expertise, technology background and extensive management experience provide the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives, and experience that make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

Jeffrey D. Brown. Mr. Brown has served as a director of our company since 2011. Mr. Brown has been a Certified Public Accountant (“CPA”) since 1993 and a financial planning service provider since 2004, performing financial services for a wide range of companies.

From 1990 to 1994, Mr. Brown was an auditor at Ernst & Young performing audits for a variety of organizations. Mr. Brown received a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from California State University, San Bernardino and his CPA designation in 1993. We believe Mr. Brown’s history as a financial and accounting services professional and a former auditor and management experience provide the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives, and experience that make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

James Richardson. Mr. Richardson has served as a director of our company since October 9, 2017. Mr. Richardson is the co-founder and was the chief executive officer of NaturalPoint Inc. from 1996 to May 2021. NaturalPoint is a world leader in simulation/VR/AR tracking and sells optical motion capture hardware and software, head tracking for PC’s and hands-free ergonomic mouse alternative for assistive technology. Mr. Richardson has had an integral role at NaturalPoint since its formation and is responsible for devising its high-level strategy and the engineering, marketing and sales efforts.

Mr. Richardson studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. We believe Mr. Richardson’s history as a founder and officer of NaturalPoint, and his technology background and management experience provide the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives, and experience that make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

Gregg C.E. Johnson. Mr. Johnson received his law degree in 1988 from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto, Canada, and was admitted as a lawyer in Alberta in 1989. He also has extensive experience in corporate compliance and senior management of high-growth entrepreneurial companies. Since October 2021, Mr. Johnson has been the chief executive officer of Serenus Global Inc., a privately-held fast growing medical company based in Tempe, Arizona and Calgary, Alberta. From January 2017 to November 2021, he was the chief executive officer of Upeva, Inc., which provided business advisory services pertaining to capital markets, corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, crowdfunding, and NASDAQ compliance. Mr. Johnson was the primary advisor to our board on our successful effort to list our stock on NASDAQ as well as a member of VirTra’s Advisory Board. He has served as corporate secretary and a director of Vivos Biotechnologies, Inc. (nka Vivos Therapeutics, Inc.), a company which focuses on the development and commercialization of innovative biomedical treatment alternatives, from May 2016 to March 2018. His career has included experience in all stages of public company development and venture capital for emerging growth companies across Canada and the United States. We believe Mr. Johnson’s experience in law, business, corporate compliance and emerging companies provide the requisite qualifications, skills, perspectives, and experience that make him well qualified to serve on our Board of Directors.

There are no family relationships between any of the executive officers and directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers, significant employees or control persons has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 8

Board Composition

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors. The number of directors is fixed by our Board of Directors, subject to our articles of incorporation and our bylaws. Currently, our Board of Directors consists of four directors and has one vacancy.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our Board of Directors has determined that prior to Mr. Givens’ appointment as Co-Chief Executive Officer in April 2022: (i) Messrs. Brown, Richardson, and Givens did not have a material relationship with us that could compromise their ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out their responsibilities and that each of these directors was “independent” as that term is defined under the listing standards of NASDAQ, and (ii) Messrs. Ferris and Burlend were not independent directors. Therefore, as of the date of the Proxy Statement, a majority of our Board of Directors does not consist of “independent directors” as defined under the listing standards of NASDAQ. We believe that this situation will be rectified at this Annual Meeting.

Board Diversity Matrix

On August 6, 2021, the SEC approved NASDAQ’s proposal, as amended, to implement diversity requirements for companies listed on the NASDAQ exchanges. NASDAQ stated that its goal was to “provide stakeholders with a better understanding of the company’s current board composition and enhance investor confidence that all listed companies are considering diversity in the context of selecting directors.” Generally, the new rule requires any company listed on the NASDAQ exchanges to (a) have at least two diverse directors on its board or explain why it does not meet this objective and (b) provide standardized disclosures in the form of a Board Diversity Matrix, or similar format, on the composition of its board.

New Nasdaq Rule 5605(f)(2) requires each NASDAQ-listed company, other than a Smaller Reporting Company, such as the Company, or company with five or fewer members (“Smaller Board”), to have, or explain why it does not have, at least two members of its board of directors who are Diverse, including at least one Diverse director who self-identifies as Female and at least one Diverse director who self-identifies as an Underrepresented Minority or LGBTQ+. “Diverse” is defined to mean an individual who self-identifies in one or more of the following categories: (i) Female, (ii) Underrepresented Minority, or (iii) LGBTQ+. Also pursuant to the new Rule, “Female” would be defined to mean an individual who self-identifies her gender as a woman, without regard to the individual’s designated sex at birth. “Underrepresented Minority” is defined to mean an individual who self-identifies as one or more of the following: Black or African American, Hispanic or Latinx, Asian, Native American or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or Two or More Races or Ethnicities; and “LGBTQ+” would be defined to mean an individual who self-identifies as any of the following: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or as a member of the queer community.

Companies with a Smaller Board, such as the Company, can meet the diversity objective by having at least one Diverse director.

Additionally, a company listed on NASDAQ exchanges will be required to provide a Board Diversity Matrix, or similar disclosure, by the later of (a) August 8, 2022, or (b) the date the company files its proxy statement for its annual meeting of shareholders during the 2022 calendar year. The Company has elected to include the Board Diversity Matrix in this Proxy Statement. The Board Diversity Matrix set forth below reports self-identified diversity statistics for the Board, as constituted prior to the Annual Meeting and prior to the expected election of Mr. Johnson at the Annual Meeting in the format required by Nasdaq’s rules.

Board Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors has a Chairman, Mr. Ferris. The Chairman has authority, among other things, to preside over Board meetings and set the agenda for Board meetings. Accordingly, the Chairman has substantial ability to shape the work of our Board of Directors. Because a majority of our Board of Directors will be independent, we believe that separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is not necessary at this time to ensure appropriate oversight by the Board of Directors of our business and affairs. However, no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. The Board of Directors recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models, such as the appointment of a lead independent director, might be appropriate. Accordingly, the Board of Directors may periodically review its leadership structure. In addition, the Board of Directors will hold executive sessions in which only independent directors are present.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 10

Our Board of Directors is generally responsible for the oversight of corporate risk in its review and deliberations relating to our activities. Our principal source of risk falls into two categories, financial and product commercialization. The audit committee will oversee management of financial risks; our Board of Directors regularly reviews information regarding our cash position, liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. The Board of Directors regularly reviews plans, results and potential risks related to our product development and commercialization efforts. Our compensation committee is expected to oversee risk management as it relates to our compensation plans, policies and practices for all employees including executives and directors, particularly whether our compensation programs may create incentives for our employees to take excessive or inappropriate risks which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has established three standing committees—the audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee—each of which operate under a charter that has been approved by our Board of Directors. We have appointed persons to the Board of Directors and committees of the Board as required meeting the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

Audit Committee

We have appointed three members of our Board of Directors to the audit committee, Messrs. Brown, Richardson, and Givens. Mr. Brown serves as the chairman of the audit committee and satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Listing Rules. In making a determination on which member will qualify as a financial expert, our Board of Directors considered the formal education and nature and scope of such members’ previous experience. Mr. Givens will be replaced by an independent director after our Annual Meeting.

Our audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

● To oversee our accounting and financial reporting and disclosure processes and the audit of our financial statements.

● To select and retain an independent registered public accounting firm to act as our independent auditors.

● To review with management, the internal audit department and our independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our financial reporting processes, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, including any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.

● To review and discuss with our independent auditors and management our annual audited financial statements (including the related notes), the form of audit opinion to be issued by the auditors on the financial statements and the disclosure under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to be included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

● To review and approve the functions of our accounting department and approve the hiring or dismissal of the Chief Financial Officer, or such person as may, from time to time, be delegated such internal audit function by the Board.

● To review and discuss with management policies and guidelines to govern the process by which management assesses and manages our risks.

● To establish and oversee procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by Company employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

● To review, approve and oversee any transaction between us and any related person and any other potential conflict of interest situations.

● To meet at least four times a year to fulfill its responsibilities.

● To review the audit committee charter at least annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 11

Compensation Committee

We have appointed two members of our Board of Directors, Messrs. Brown and Richardson, to the compensation committee. Our compensation committee will assist our Board of Directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers.

Our compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

● To review and approve the compensation of the co-Chief Executive Officers and to approve the compensation of all other executive officers.

● To review, and approve and, when appropriate, recommend to the Board for approval, any employment agreements and any severance arrangements or plans, including any benefits to be provided in connection with a change in control, for the CEO and other executive officers, which includes the ability to adopt, amend and terminate such agreements, arrangements or plans.

● To review our incentive compensation arrangements.

● To review and recommend to the Board for approval the frequency with which we will conduct Say on Pay Votes.

● To review director compensation for service on the Board and Board committees at least once a year and to recommend any changes to the Board.

● To meet at least two times a year.

● To review the compensation committee charter at least annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

We have appointed two members of our Board of Directors, Messrs. Brown and Richardson, to the nominating and corporate governance committee. Mr. Richardson serves as the chairman of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

● To determine the qualifications, qualities, skills, and other expertise required to be a director and to develop, and recommend to the Board for its approval, criteria to be considered in selecting nominees for director.

● To select and approve the nominees for director to be submitted to a stockholder vote at the annual meeting of stockholders.

● To review the Board’s committee structure and composition and to appoint directors to serve as members of each committee and committee chairmen.

● To develop and recommend to the Board for approval standards for determining whether a director has a relationship with us that would impair its independence.

● To review and discuss with management the disclosure regarding the operations of the nominating and corporate governance committee and director independence, and to recommend that this disclosure be included in our proxy statement or annual report on Form 10-K, as applicable.

● To monitor compliance with our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “Code of Ethics”), to investigate any alleged breach or violation of the Code of Ethics and to enforce the provisions of the Code of Ethics.

● To meet at least two times a year.

● To review the nominating and corporate governance committee charter at least annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct and Whistleblower Protection Policy

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics, which outlines the principles of legal and ethical business conduct under which we do business. In addition, we have adopted a written Whistleblower Protection Policy to prevent adverse employment action of any kind against any of our employees who lawfully report information about (i) fraudulent activities within our company (including wire fraud, mail fraud and bank fraud), (ii) violations of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act pertaining to fraud against stockholders of the Company, (iii) questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters of the Company, and (iv) conduct by our executives that violate our Code of Ethics, or that cause reports and other public disclosures by us that are not full, fair and accurate. To advance this commitment, we have adopted this Whistleblower Protection Policy. The Code of Ethics and Whistleblower Protection Policy are applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees and are available on our corporate website, www.virtra.com. We intend to disclose any amendments to our Code of Ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website or in filings under the Exchange Act to the extent required by applicable rules and exchange requirements.

Evaluating Director Candidates

The Board has no formal guidelines or policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by shareholders. Unless and until a nominating and corporate governance committee is established, as well as a formal charter and corporate governance guidelines, the Board (in the absence of a nominating and corporate governance committee) will consider several factors when evaluating the appropriate characteristics of candidates for service as a director. The Board initially evaluates a prospective nominee based on his or her resume and other background information that has been provided to the Board. At a minimum, director candidates must demonstrate high standards of ethics, integrity, independence, sound judgment, strength of character, and meaningful experience and skills in business or other appropriate endeavors. In addition to these minimum qualifications, the Board considers other factors it deems appropriate based on the current needs and desires of the Board, including specific business and professional experience that is relevant to the Board’s needs, including, but not limited to, Board diversity. A member of the Board will contact, for further review, those candidates who the Board believes are qualified, who may fulfill a specific Board need and who would otherwise best make a contribution to the Board. The Board is responsible for conducting, with the assistance of the Corporate Secretary, and subject to applicable law, any inquiries into the background and qualifications of the candidate. Based on the information the Board learns during this process, it determines which nominee(s) to submit for election. The Board uses a comparable process for evaluating all director candidates, regardless of the source of the recommendation.

The Board is authorized to use, as it deems appropriate or necessary, an outside consultant to identify and screen potential director candidates. No outside consultants were used during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 to identify or screen potential director candidates. The Board will reassess the qualifications of a current director, including the director’s attendance and contributions at Board and committee meetings, prior to recommending a director for reelection.

The cash retainers are in lieu of previously Board-approved awards of stock options and any other compensation to non-employee directors for serving on the Board of directors and committees. We reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings. We also may allow our non-employee directors to participate in any equity compensation plans that we have adopted or may adopt in the future. Historically, our directors that are our employees have not received compensation for their service as directors.

Executive Employment Agreements

On April 2, 2012, we entered into three-year Employment Agreements with each of Messrs. Ferris and Burlend that call for base annual salaries of $195,000 and $175,000, respectively, subject to increases based on the cost of living at a minimum. The agreements automatically extend for additional periods of one year. These contracts have been renewed annually with upward adjustments each year applying the same percentage increase approved for Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments. On January 1, 2021, Messrs. Ferris’ and Burlend’s annual base salaries were $248,791 and $223,274, respectively. The employment agreements entitle these executives to an annual cash bonus determined by our Board of Directors based on our performance. In addition, the agreements entitle these executives to participate in any stock option or restricted stock plan adopted by our Board of Directors. The amount of an award under any such plan and the vesting terms shall be as determined by the Board. In addition, we provide the executives with family medical insurance, $15,000 in life insurance, and participation in a 401(k) retirement plan.

On August 26, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, relying upon third-party studies and recommendations, took several actions to bring the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) up to industry standards and provide meaningful incentive for future performance. The Committee (1) approved grants of 224,133 and 168,090 performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan to the Company’s CEO and COO, respectively; (2) approved grants of 14,057 and 10,543 restricted shares to the CEO and COO, respectively, based on the Company’s performance for the twelve months ended June 30, 2021; and (3) increased the annual base salaries effective August 15, 2021 to $349,860 and $251,140 for the CEO and COO, respectively. While their salaries have been annually increased with Company-wide cost-of-living adjustments, this was the first comprehensive review and adjustment undertaken since 2012.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 16

Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreements, we may terminate an executive’s employment for cause as defined in the employment agreement and such cause is deemed to exist as determined by our Board of Directors at a Board meeting at which the executive and his counsel are first given the opportunity to address the Board with respect to such determination. If Messrs. Ferris or Burlend is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause, or if either of them voluntarily terminate their own respective employment for good reason but not including a change in control, then we shall, subject to the terms of the respective employment agreements, be obligated to pay the executive who terminated his employment an amount equal to the greater of (a) the executive’s annual base salary in effect on the day preceding the date of such termination or (b) the executive’s annual base salary during the twelve full calendar months preceding the date of such termination, times three. If a change of control of our company occurs while the executive is our employee and within 36 months from the date of such change in control we terminate the executive’s employment for any reason (except for the death or disability of the executive or for Cause) or the executive terminates his employment for any reason, then we shall, subject to certain limitations, pay the executive any earned and accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination plus an amount of severance pay equal to the greater of (a) the executive’s annual base salary in effect on the day preceding the date on which the change of control occurred or (b) the executive’s annual base salary during the twelve full calendar months preceding the date on which the change of control occurred, times four. In addition, any stock options awarded to the executives shall immediately vest and become exercisable upon a change of control. If the executive is terminated for any reason other than the executive’s voluntary termination for good reason as defined in the employment agreement, the executive whose employment has been terminated is prohibited for a period of two years from the date of termination of the employment agreement from direct competition with us, and shall not solicit any of our employees or customers. The employment agreements require us to indemnify each of the respective executives to the fullest extent permitted under Nevada law, our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which ever affords the greater protection to the executive.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer redeemed 15,000 previously awarded options reaching expiration. The redemptions resulted in $27,780 of additional compensation expense.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Chief Executive Officer exercised 20,000 previously awarded options reaching expiration. The redemptions resulted in $37,040 of additional compensation expense.

On April 11, 2022, John F. Givens II was appointed as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company. VirTra agreed to pay Mr. Givens an initial annual base salary of $298,990, subject to annual review. VirTra issued Mr. Givens a signing bonus of 64,815 shares of common stock which are restricted from transfer until the earlier of: (i) 12 months of employment having lapsed or (ii) the Company terminating employment with Mr. Givens without cause.

Mr. Givens was also granted 288,889 performance-based restricted stock units pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Beginning on the last business day of August 2022, a tranche of restricted stock units, having an approximate value of $40,000, based on current prices, may vest if the Company has achieved net profit for the twelve months ending June 30, 2022 of at least $2,500,000. For every $500,000 earned in excess of $2,500,000 another tranche will vest. If the maximum net profit of $7,000,000 is achieved, ten tranches would vest. Similarly, on the last business day of August 2023, a tranche of restricted stock units may vest if the Company has achieved a net profit of at least $3,000,000, with the potential to have additional tranches vest up to a maximum of $9,000,000 in net profit. This vesting arrangement continues with the last business day of August 2024, with the minimum net profit threshold being $3,500,000 and the maximum net profit being $11,000,000.

The vesting schedule notwithstanding, the Compensation Committee shall have the discretion to declare the vesting of any number of restricted stock units should the Company experience unusual results of operations, such as falling below the net profit threshold one year and exceeding the maximum net profit the following year, so long as the total number of restricted stock units declared to be vested does not exceed the amount awarded. Additionally, while a maximum net profit per year has been set for allocation of the available shares at this time, it is very possible that the Company will exceed these levels during the next 3 years and if such performance occurs, the Compensation Committee will meet to determine if additional compensation is in the best interests of the Company at that time.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 17

Effective August 16, 2022, Mr. Burlend, departed the Company. As of August 31, 2022, it was determined that the Company had met a net profit target for the 12 months ended June 30, 2022 that enabled the vesting of 5,747 and 7,407 restricted stock units for Messrs. Ferris and Givens, respectively.

Employee Benefit and Equity Incentive Plans

Stock Options

Prior to October 2017, we periodically issued non-qualified incentive stock options to the directors under a stock option compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors in 2009. Terms of option grants are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are generally seven years. These awards were suspended as of October 1, 2017. As of December 31, 2021, there were 112,500 options outstanding and 112,500 options exercisable at a weighted exercise price of $3.51 and $3.51, respectively.

On March 9, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a program under which we may repurchase outstanding vested Company stock options on an exception basis. Under the terms of the program, our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer may cause us to redeem for cash any positive stock options for the net value of the stock option (stock price on the redemption date minus strike price). The cash redemption of stock options held by the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Operating Officer must be approved by our independent directors. We retain the right to reject any redemption request that is not in the best interest of our company.

Profit Sharing

We have a discretionary profit-sharing program that pays out a percentage of our profits each year as a cash bonus to active and eligible employees. The cash payment is typically split into two equal payments and distributed pro-rata to employees in good standing at time of distribution in April and October of the following year after the completion of the annual financial audit. For the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, the amount expensed to operations for this program was $139,682 and $206,869, respectively.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

On August 23, 2017, our Board approved, subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting of stockholders on October 6, 2017, the VirTra, Inc. 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan is intended to make available incentives that will assist us to attract, retain and motivate employees, including officers, consultants and directors. We may provide these incentives through the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares and units and other cash-based or stock-based awards.

A total of 1,187,500 shares of our Common Stock were initially authorized and reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan. This reserve automatically increased on January 1, 2019 and will automatically increase each subsequent anniversary through 2027, by an amount equal to the smaller of (a) 3% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or (b) an amount determined by the Board.

Appropriate adjustments will be made in the number of authorized shares and other numerical limits in the Equity Plan and in outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights in the event of a stock split or other change in our capital structure. Shares subject to awards which expire or are cancelled or forfeited will again become available for issuance under the Equity Plan. The shares available will not be reduced by awards settled in cash or by shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Only the net number of shares issued upon the exercise of stock appreciation rights or options exercised by means of a net exercise or by tender of previously owned shares will be deducted from the shares available under the Equity Plan.

The Equity Plan will be generally administered by the compensation committee of our Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Equity Plan, the compensation committee will determine in its discretion the persons to whom and the times at which awards are granted, the sizes of such awards and all of their terms and conditions. However, the compensation committee may delegate to one or more of our officers the authority to grant awards to persons who are not officers or directors, subject to certain limitations contained in the Equity Plan and award guidelines established by the committee. The compensation committee will have the authority to construe and interpret the terms of the Equity Plan and awards granted under it. The Equity Plan provides, subject to certain limitations, for indemnification by us of any director, officer or employee against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any legal action arising from such person’s action or failure to act in administering the Equity Plan.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 18

The Equity Plan authorized the compensation committee, without further stockholder approval, to provide for the cancellation of stock options or stock appreciation rights with exercise prices in excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of Common Stock in exchange for new options or other equity awards with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock or a cash payment.

The Equity Plan limits the grant date fair value of all equity awards and the amount of cash compensation that may be provided to a non-employee director in any fiscal year to an aggregate of $300,000.

Awards may be granted under the Equity Plan to our employees, including officers, directors or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. All awards will be evidenced by a written agreement between us and the holder of the award and may include any of the following:

● Stock options. We may grant nonstatutory stock options or incentive stock options (as described in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), each of which gives its holder the right, during a specified term (not exceeding 10 years) and subject to any specified vesting or other conditions, to purchase a number of shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price per share determined by the administrator, which may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

● Stock appreciation rights. A stock appreciation right gives its holder the right, during a specified term (not exceeding 10 years) and subject to any specified vesting or other conditions, to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of our Common Stock between the date of grant of the award and the date of its exercise. We may pay the appreciation in shares of our Common Stock or in cash.

● Restricted stock. The administrator may grant restricted stock awards either as a bonus or as a purchase right at such price as the administrator determines. Shares of restricted stock remain subject to forfeiture until vested, based on such terms and conditions as the administrator specifies. Holders of restricted stock will have the right to vote the shares and to receive any dividends paid, except that the dividends will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the related shares.

● Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units represent rights to receive shares of our Common Stock (or their value in cash) at a future date without payment of a purchase price, subject to vesting or other conditions specified by the administrator. Holders of restricted stock units have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant restricted stock units that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights subject to the same vesting conditions as the related units.

● Performance shares and performance units. Performance shares and performance units are awards that will result in a payment to their holder only if specified performance goals are achieved during a specified performance period. Performance share awards are rights denominated in shares of our Common Stock, while performance unit awards are rights denominated in dollars. The administrator establishes the applicable performance goals based on one or more measures of business performance enumerated in the Equity Plan, such as revenue, gross margin, net income or total stockholder return. To the extent earned, performance share and unit awards may be settled in cash or in shares of our Common Stock. Holders of performance shares or performance units have no voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends unless and until shares of Common Stock are issued in settlement of such awards. However, the administrator may grant performance shares that entitle their holders to dividend equivalent rights subject to the same vesting conditions as the related units.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 19

● Cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The administrator may grant cash-based awards that specify a monetary payment or range of payments or other stock-based awards that specify a number or range of shares or units that, in either case, are subject to vesting or other conditions specified by the administrator. Settlement of these awards may be in cash or shares of our Common Stock, as determined by the administrator. Their holder will have no voting rights or right to receive cash dividends unless and until shares of our Common Stock are issued pursuant to the award. The administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights with respect to other stock-based awards.

In the event of a change in control as described in the Equity Plan, the acquiring or successor entity may assume or continue all or any awards outstanding under the Equity Plan or substitute substantially equivalent awards. Any awards which are not assumed or continued in connection with a change in control or are not exercised or settled prior to the change in control will terminate effective as of the time of the change in control. The compensation committee may provide for the acceleration of vesting of any or all outstanding awards upon such terms and to such extent as it determines, except that the vesting of all awards held by members of the Board of Directors who are not employees will automatically be accelerated in full. The Equity Plan also authorizes the compensation committee, in its discretion and without the consent of any participant, to cancel each or any outstanding award denominated in shares upon a change in control in exchange for a payment to the participant with respect to each share subject to the cancelled award of an amount equal to the excess of the consideration to be paid per share of Common Stock in the change in control transaction over the exercise price per share, if any, under the award.

The Equity Plan will continue in effect until it is terminated by the administrator, provided, however, that all awards will be granted, if at all, within 10 years of its effective date. The administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the Equity Plan at any time, provided that without stockholder approval, the plan cannot be amended to increase the number of shares authorized, change the class of persons eligible to receive incentive stock options, or effect any other change that would require stockholder approval under any applicable law or listing rule.

PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF

THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Haynie & Company acted as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Audit Committee of has appointed Haynie & Company to act in that capacity for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. A representative of Haynie & Company is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Although the Company is not required to submit this appointment to a vote of the stockholders, the Audit Committee believes that it is appropriate as a matter of policy to request that stockholders ratify Haynie & Company’s appointment as principal independent registered public accounting firm. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will investigate the reasons for stockholder rejection and consider whether to retain Haynie & Company or will appoint another independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The following table shows the fees that were billed for the audit and other services provided by Haynie & Company and MaloneBailey LLP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

	2021		2020
Audit Fees	$	61,500	$	74,305
Audit-Related Fees		-		-
Tax Fees		14,000		14,900
All Other Fees		20,500		-
Total (1)	$	96,000	$	89,205

(1) This amount does not include $106,567 paid to Eide Bailly LLP for their work on the 2021 audit.

Audit Fees—This category includes the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, review of financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with engagements for those fiscal years. This category also includes advice on audit and accounting matters that arose during, or as a result of, the audit or the review of interim financial statements.

Audit-Related Fees—This category consists of assurance and related services by the independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported above under “Audit Fees.” The services for the fees disclosed under this category include consultation regarding our correspondence with the SEC, other accounting consulting and other audit services.

Tax Fees—This category consists of professional services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance and tax advice. The services for the fees disclosed under this category include tax return preparation and technical tax advice.

All Other Fees—This category consists of fees for other miscellaneous items.

Pursuant to the audit committee’s charter, all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm must be pre-approved. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of service. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Consistent with the audit committee’s policy, all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were pre-approved by the audit committee.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 22

In considering the nature of the services provided by the independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the audit committee determined that such services were compatible with the provision of independent audit services. The audit committee discussed these services with the independent registered public accounting firms and management for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 to determine that they were permitted under the rules and regulations concerning auditors’ independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Our Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including internal control systems. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s audited financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Board of Directors reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, including a discussion of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

In addition, the Board of Directors discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s Auditing Standard No. 16 “Communications with Audit Committees.” The Board of Directors met with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financials be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Board of Directors approved the inclusion of the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC.

Submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors,

Jeffrey Brown, Chair

John Givens

Jim Richardson

The affirmative vote of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Haynie & Company as our independent registered public accounting firm. You may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” from voting on Proposal 2. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “against” Proposal 2. Because broker non-votes are not considered present for the foregoing purpose, they will have no effect on the vote on Proposal 2.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR RATIFICATION OF HAYNIE & COMPANY AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP

The following table sets forth information about the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of September 23, 2022, the Record Date for:

● each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our Common Stock;

● each named executive officer;

● each of our directors; and

● all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address for each beneficial owner listed on the table is in care of VirTra, Inc., 295 E. Corporate Place, Chandler, AZ 85225. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the tables below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws. We have based our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership on 10,888,259 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to options or issuable upon conversion of preferred stock held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Name of Beneficial Owner	Amount and Nature of Beneficial Ownership		Percent of Class
Directors and Named Executive Officers:
Robert D. Ferris (1)		435,183		4.0	%
John F. Givens, II		78,222		0.7	%
Jeffrey D. Brown (2)		46,693		0.4	%
James Richardson		—		—
Danielle De Rosa-Diaz		—		—
All executive officers and directors as a group (five persons) (3)		560,098		5.1	%

(1)	Includes (a) 395,183 shares of our Common Stock presently outstanding, and (b) options to purchase 40,000 shares of our Common Stock at prices ranging from $1.70 to $5.88.
(2)	Includes (a) 29,193 shares of our Common Stock and (b) options to purchase 17,500 shares of our Common Stock at prices ranging from $1.70 to $5.88.
(3)	The number of shares beneficially owned by the executive officers and directors as a group includes 502,598 shares of our Common Stock and options to purchase 57,500 shares of our Common Stock.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. To our knowledge, based solely upon a review of copies of reports received by us pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and written representations that no other reports were required to be filed, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders under Section 16(a) with respect to 2021 were satisfied.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have a written policy for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related parties or conflicted transactions. When such transactions arise, they are referred to the CEO, CFO, and COO for consideration for referral to our audit committee or board of directors for its consideration.

In addition to the compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements and indemnification arrangements, discussed in “Executive Compensation” above, the following is a description of each transaction since January 1, 2020 and each currently proposed transaction in which:

● We have been or will be a participant;

● the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years; and

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

On January 16, 2015, we entered into a Co-Venture Agreement with Modern Round, Inc. (formerly, Modern Round, LLC) (“Modern Round”). Modern Round is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TEC (formerly known as Modern Round Entertainment Corporation), a developer and operator of a combined dining and entertainment concept centered on an indoor virtual shooting entertainment concept. Mitchell Saltz, who was a member of our Board of Directors until his passing in October 2020, was the former Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder of TEC. Accordingly, until October 2020, Modern Round and TEC were related parties. In connection with this Co-Venture Agreement we agreed to develop interactive games, skills drills, and advanced training simulation content for Modern Round and license VirTra Technology to Modern Round for a portion of its total revenue, acquired rights to purchase TEC common stock and issued to affiliates of TEC that included Mr. Saltz, who was then a member of our Board of Directors, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 919,382 shares of our Common Stock at a price of $2.72 per share. Pursuant to our rights to acquire shares of TEC common stock pursuant to this agreement, we acquired 560,000 shares of TEC common stock representing approximately 4.8% of its issued and outstanding common stock. In addition, TEC paid the Company for license fees (royalties) pursuant to the terms of the Co-Venture Agreement $0 and $45,247 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. TEC ceased to be a related party on October 11, 2020.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Company did not issue stock options to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or the members of the Board of Directors.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company did not issue stock options to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or the members of the Board of Directors. Restricted stock units were awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer in 2021 as disclosed above.

During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company redeemed 35,000 and 15,000, respectively, previously awarded options reaching expiration from related parties, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and one employee. These redemptions eliminated the stock options and resulted in a total of $168,575 and $15,083 in additional compensation expense in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Mr. Richardson, who is a member of our Board of Directors, was CEO of Natural Point, Inc. (“Natural Point”) until May 14, 2021, a vendor of the Company. In 2021 and 2020, the Company purchased specialized equipment from Natural Point in the amount of $66,870 and $232,218, respectively. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had outstanding balances due to Natural Point of $33,030 and $0, respectively.

VirTra, Inc. Proxy Statement – Page 27

ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K

Along with mailing the proxy materials, we have included a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We will provide stockholders with additional copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, without charge, upon written request to VirTra, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 295 E. Corporate Place, Chandler, Arizona 85225.

“HOUSEHOLDING” OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokers with accountholders who are stockholders will be householding our proxy materials. As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to stockholders, a single proxy statement and annual report will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected stockholder. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise.

Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy materials at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker or, if a stockholder is a direct holder of shares of our Common Stock, they should submit a written request to our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, located at 17 Battery Place, New York, NY 10004. The transfer agent’s telephone number is (212) 509-4000.

To delist yourself from householding in the future you may write the Company at VirTra, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 295 E. Corporate Place, Chandler, Arizona 85225, or call (480) 968-1488. Upon written or oral request directed to the Company at the address or phone number listed above, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy materials.

OTHER MATTERS

We do not know of any other matters that may be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other business does properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote as they deem in our best interests.
