Dear Stockholder:

You are cordially invited to attend the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Harrow, Inc., which will be held at our corporate office located at 1A Burton Hills Blvd., Suite 200, Nashville, TN 37215, on June 14, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. (Central Time).

In accordance with rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are mailing to many of our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a paper copy of the Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”). The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions on how stockholders can access the proxy documents over the Internet as well as how stockholders can receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, including the Proxy Statement, the Annual Report and a form of proxy card.

The notice of meeting and Proxy Statement describe the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and your shares are held in street name (by a broker, for example), you should ask the record holder for a legal proxy and bring it with you to the Annual Meeting, so that we can verify your ownership of Harrow, Inc. stock. Please note that if your shares are held in street name and you do not bring a legal proxy from the record holder, although you will be able to attend the Annual Meeting, you will not be able to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting personally, and regardless of the number of shares you own, it is important that your shares be represented at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, we urge you to promptly complete the proxy card and return it to our Corporate Secretary at 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205, or to promptly use the telephone or Internet voting system. If you do attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw a previously submitted proxy at that time.

Sincerely,

Mark L. Baum

Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors

PROXY STATEMENT

For Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 14, 2024

General

This proxy statement (this “Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of Harrow, Inc. (the “Company”) of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at the Company’s corporate office located at 1A Burton Hills Blvd., Suite 200, Nashville, Tennessee 37215, on June 14, 2024, at 8:00 a.m. (Central Time), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”). We expect to mail or make available this Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials, including our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Annual Report”), the Notice and a proxy card, to our stockholders on or about April 26, 2024.

All references to “us,” “we,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Harrow, Inc.

Copies of this Proxy Statement, the Notice and the Annual Report can be accessed electronically at: www.proxyvote.com.

Solicitation of Proxies

The Board is soliciting proxies to vote at the Annual Meeting. In accordance with unanimous recommendations of our Board, the individuals named in the proxy card will vote all shares represented by proxies in the manner designated, or if no designation is made, they will vote the proxies FOR the election of all of the director nominees named in Proposal 1 and FOR Proposals 2 and 3. The individuals acting as proxies will not vote on a particular matter if the proxy card representing those shares instructs them to abstain from voting on that matter or to the extent a proxy card is marked to show that some of the shares represented by the proxy card are not to be voted. In their discretion, the proxy holders named in the proxy card are authorized to vote on any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting and at any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board does not know of any items of business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement.

Stockholders of Record

Only holders of record of shares of our common stock at the close of business on the record date, April 16, 2024, will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof. At the close of business on April 16, 2024, the Company had 35,381,611 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, held by 67 stockholders of record. Each holder of record of shares of our common stock on the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote are represented at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 1

Vote Required and Method of Counting Votes

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of elections appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes. Abstentions and shares that are voted by brokers as to any matter considered at the Annual Meeting will be included in determining if a quorum is present or represented at the Annual Meeting. Any broker holding shares of record for you is not entitled to vote on matters that are not deemed to be routine unless the broker receives voting instructions from you. Broker non-votes occur when shares are held by a broker who has not received instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares on such non-routine matters, the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such non-routine matters and has so notified us on a proxy form in accordance with industry practice or has otherwise advised us that the broker lacks voting authority with respect to such non-routine matters. The effects of broker non-votes and abstentions on the proposals to be brought before the Annual Meeting are discussed below.

Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed
Proposal 1 – Election of directors	Plurality of Votes Cast	No
Proposal 2 – Ratification of selection of independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year	Majority of Votes Cast	Yes
Proposal 3 – Advisory vote on named executive officer compensation	Majority of Votes Cast	No

With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR or WITHHOLD for any or all director nominees. With respect to Proposals 2 and 3, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. As specified in our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be a vote cast and, therefore, will have no direct impact on any proposal.

How to Vote

You may vote by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person or you may vote by submitting a proxy. If you are a record holder of shares of our common stock, you may submit your vote by proxy by completing the proxy card and returning it to our Corporate Secretary at 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205 or by using the telephone or Internet voting systems set forth in the proxy card or Notice of Internet Availability. If you hold your shares of common stock in street name, you will receive a notice from your broker, bank or other nominee that includes instructions on how to vote your shares. Your broker, bank or other nominee may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the Internet and may also permit you to submit your voting instructions by telephone.

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and wish to vote in person, you will be given a ballot at the Annual Meeting. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, and you decide to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, your vote in person at the Annual Meeting will not be effective unless you present a legal proxy issued in your name from your broker, bank or other nominee. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to submit your proxy to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting.

Revocation of Proxies

You are a stockholder of record if, at the close of business on the record date, your shares were registered directly in your name with Securities Transfer Corporation, our transfer agent. If you are a stockholder of record and submit your vote by proxy, you may revoke it at any time before its use, either by:

(1)	revoking it in person at the Annual Meeting;
(2)	delivering a written notice to our Corporate Secretary at 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205 before the proxy is used; or
(3)	delivering a later dated proxy card to us at the address noted above before the proxy is used.

Your presence at the Annual Meeting will not revoke your proxy, but if you attend the meeting and cast a ballot, your proxy will be revoked as to the matters on which the ballot is cast.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 2

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, or other nominee, please follow the instructions provided by your broker or other nominee as to how you may change your vote or obtain a legal proxy to vote your shares if you wish to cast your vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Cost and Method of Solicitation

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the Notice, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to our stockholders. Solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other employees for such services. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of our common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. We may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.

Stockholder List

A complete list of registered stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting during the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at our principal offices located at 1A Burton Hills Blvd., Suite 200, Nashville, TN 37215.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently consists of six directors. Upon the recommendation of the Company’s Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee, our Board has selected five director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting. Each of the nominees is currently a director of the Company and was elected or re-elected by our stockholders at our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”), with the exception of Adrienne L. Graves and Lauren P. Silvernail, both of whom were appointed as directors in January 2024.

Teresa F. Sparks currently serves as a director of the Company and is not being nominated for re-election, causing her term as a member of the Board to expire at the Annual Meeting. Ms. Sparks is currently Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board and will continue to serve as Chair of the Audit Committee until such time as her term expires. The Audit Committee has designated Ms. Silvernail to become Chair of the Audit Committee following the expiration of Ms. Sparks’ term, contingent upon Ms. Silvernail’s re-election to the Board. As a result of Ms. Sparks not being nominated for re-election, the Board reduced the number of directors serving on the Board from six to five effective following the Annual Meeting.

There are no familial relationships among any of our directors or our executive officers. No arrangement or understanding exists between any nominee and any other person or persons pursuant to which any nominee was or is to be selected as a director or director nominee of the Company.

Nominees

The Board has selected the five persons listed below as nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting. Each of these nominees has indicated that he or she is willing and able to serve as a director. If any of the nominees declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), your proxy may be voted for such substitute nominees as the Board may designate.

The following table sets forth information regarding the nominees for directors and such persons, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will serve as directors until the earlier of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”) or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

Each director is elected by a plurality of the votes cast on the election of directors at a meeting at which a quorum is present. As a result, the nominees who receive the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting, will be elected. Because directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted in determining which nominees receive the largest number of votes cast and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The persons named in the proxy card will vote the proxies they receive FOR the election of the nominees named above unless a particular proxy card withholds authorization to do so or provides contrary instructions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION

OF EACH OF THE NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board has selected KMJ Corbin & Company LLP (“KMJ”) to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and has further directed that the selection of KMJ, or its successor, be submitted for ratification by our stockholders at our Annual Meeting. KMJ has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since September 17, 2007.

On April 11, 2024, a registered public accounting firm (the “KMJ Successor”) announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire KMJ, with the acquisition expected to close in May 2024. Following the closing of the acquisition (if it closes), the Audit Committee expects to select and engage the KMJ Successor to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. If the acquisition becomes effective prior to the Annual Meeting, ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm will be of the KMJ Successor.

Representatives of KMJ (or the KMJ Successor if the acquisition of KMJ has been completed) are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the selection of KMJ, or its successor, as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of KMJ to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, our Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain KMJ. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, 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 our and our stockholders’ best interests.

Audit and All Other Fees

Aggregate fees for professional services billed to the Company by KMJ for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Audit Fees	$	312,928	$	220,926
Audit-Related Fees	$	13,200	$	-
Other Fees	$	-	$	-
Total	$	326,128	$	220,926

“Audit Fees” represent fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, and the review of our consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports. “Audit-Related Fees” represent fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under audit fees. There were no fees billed by or paid to our principal accountant during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for tax compliance, advice or planning services, or for financial information systems design and implementation services.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our Audit Committee pre-approves all services to be provided by KMJ. All fees paid to KMJ for services performed in 2023 and 2022 were pre-approved by our Audit Committee.

Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but are not considered votes for or against a proposal and, therefore, will have no direct impact on this proposal. Broker non-votes are not expected to result from the vote on this proposal. The persons named in the proxy will vote the proxies they receive FOR the ratification of the selection of KMJ, or its successor, as our independent registered public accounting firm unless a particular proxy card withholds authorization to do so or provides contrary instructions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR

THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF KMJ CORBIN & COMPANY LLP, OR ITS SUCCESSOR,

AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2024.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 7

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) added Section 14A to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules.

Our named executive officer compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain our named executive officers, who are critical to our success. Our Compensation Committee believes an effective compensation program is one that is designed to recruit and retain executive leadership focused on attaining long-term corporate goals and increasing stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that it has taken a responsible approach to compensating our named executive officers.

We urge stockholders to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this Proxy Statement, which describes in more detail how our executive compensation policies and procedures operate and are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narratives in this Proxy Statement, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the policies and procedures described and explained therein are effective in achieving our goals and that the compensation of our named executive officers reported in this Proxy Statement supports and contributes to the Company’s long-term success.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore, not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board. Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Vote Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but are not considered votes for or against a proposal and, therefore, will have no direct impact on this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SEC.

The Board has determined that Ms. Graves, Mr. Makary, Ms. Silvernail, Ms. Sparks, and Mr. Sternberg, comprising a majority of our current Board, are “independent” directors, as that term is defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). Mr. Baum is not independent because he currently serves as our Chief Executive Officer. R. Lawrence Van Horn, who served on the Board until his resignation on November 3, 2023, was deemed by the Board to be independent during his service on the Board.

Nominations for Directors

Our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates and recommends to the Board of Directors nominees for each election of directors. There are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees; rather, in considering potential new directors, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee considers a variety of factors and may identify and evaluate individuals from various disciplines and backgrounds. Among the qualifications to be considered in the selection of candidates are the following: broad experience in business, finance or administration; familiarity with the Company’s industry; prominence and reputation in a particular profession or field of endeavor; and whether the individual has the time available to devote to the work of the Board and one or more of its committees. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee also reviews the activities and associations of each candidate to determine the independence of the candidate under applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules and to ensure that there is no legal impediment, conflict of interest or other consideration that might hinder or prevent service on the Board. In addition to these factors, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem relevant or in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee recognizes that under applicable regulatory requirements at least one member of the Board must, and believes that it is preferable that more than one member of the Board should, meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules. Further, although the Company does not have a formal diversity policy, the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to nominate directors that bring to the Company a variety of perspectives, skills, expertise and sound business understanding and judgment, derived from business, professional, governmental, finance, community and industry experience.

The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board of Directors willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board of Directors with skills and experience that are relevant and considered valuable to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board of Directors with that of obtaining new perspectives. If the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the Board of Directors requires additional candidates for nomination, it may explore alternative sources for identifying additional candidates. This may include engaging, as appropriate, a third-party search firm to assist in identifying qualified candidates.

The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee reviews all director nominees, including those recommended by stockholders, in accordance with the factors and qualifications described above to determine whether they possess attributes the committee believes would be beneficial and valuable to the Company. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee will select qualified candidates and make its recommendations to the Board, which will formally decide whether to nominate the recommended candidates for election to the Board. Stockholders may recommend nominees for consideration by the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee by complying with certain notification requirements set forth in our Bylaws. These requirements provide that a stockholder who desires to recommend a candidate for nomination to our Board of Directors must do so in writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices, which written notice must be received no later than 90 days before the date of the annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected. The stockholder’s written notice must include, among other things as specified in our Bylaws, certain personal identification information about the stockholder and its recommended director nominee(s); the principal occupation or employment of the recommended director nominee(s); the class and number of shares of the Company that are beneficially owned by the stockholder and its recommended director nominee(s); and any other information relating to the recommended director nominee(s) that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for the election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act. Stockholders may obtain a copy of our Bylaws by writing to our Corporate Secretary at Harrow, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205, or by accessing the exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC. A stockholder who complies in full with all of the notice provisions set forth in our Bylaws will be permitted to present the director nominee at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, but will not be entitled to have the nominee included in our proxy statement for the annual meeting unless an applicable SEC rule requires that we include the director nominee in our proxy statement.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending a letter to the Corporate Secretary, Harrow, Inc., 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205. Each communication must set forth the name and address of the stockholder on whose behalf the communication is sent and should indicate in the address whether the communication is intended for the entire Board, the non-employee directors as a group or an individual director. Each communication will be screened by the Corporate Secretary or his or her designee to determine whether it is appropriate for presentation to the Board or any specified director(s). Examples of inappropriate communications include junk mail, spam, mass mailings, resumes, job inquiries, surveys, business solicitations and advertisements, as well as unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, unsuitable, frivolous, patently offensive or otherwise inappropriate material.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is available for review on the Investors section of the Company’s website, www.harrow.com, under Corporate Governance, and is also available in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to us at Harrow, Inc., 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205, Attention: Investor Relations. Each of our directors, employees and officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and all of our other executive officers, are required to comply with the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

Our Board is responsible for overseeing the management of our business. We keep our directors informed of our business at meetings and through reports and analyses presented to the Board and the committees of the Board. Regular communications between our directors and management also occur outside of formal meetings of the Board and committees of the Board.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 10

Meeting Attendance

Our Board generally holds meetings on a quarterly basis, along with monthly update calls, but may hold additional meetings as required. In 2023, the Board held five meetings. Each of our directors attended 100% of the Board meetings that were held during the periods when they were a director and 100% of the meetings of each committee of the Board on which they served that were held during the periods that they served on such committee. We do not have a policy requiring that directors attend our annual meeting of stockholders, but encourage attendance by each director. All of our directors in office at the time attended our 2023 Annual Meeting.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our Board currently has three standing committees to facilitate and assist the Board in the execution of its responsibilities: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee.

Audit Committee

During 2023, our Audit Committee was composed of Teresa F. Sparks (Chair), Martin A. Makary, and R. Lawrence Van Horn, until his resignation from the Board in November 2023. Perry J. Sternberg joined the committee upon Mr. Van Horn’s resignation. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each member who serves on the Audit Committee is independent under applicable Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and satisfies all other qualifications under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the applicable rules of the SEC. Our Board also affirmatively determined that Ms. Sparks qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Audit Committee held seven meetings in 2023.

The Audit Committee acts pursuant to a written charter that has been adopted by the Board, which is available for review on the Investors section of the Company’s website, www.harrow.com, under Corporate Governance. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee include overseeing, reviewing and evaluating our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting processes, internal control functions and the audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and as necessary, the termination of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Compensation Committee

During 2023, our Compensation Committee was composed of Teresa F. Sparks, Perry J. Sternberg, and R. Lawrence Van Horn (Chair), until his resignation from the Board in November 2023. Martin A. Makary joined the committee upon Mr. Van Horn’s resignation. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each member who serves on the Compensation Committee is independent under applicable Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and satisfies all other qualifications under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the applicable rules of the SEC. The Compensation Committee held four meetings in 2023.

The Compensation Committee acts pursuant to a written charter that has been adopted by the Board, which is available for review on the Investors section of the Company’s website, www.harrow.com, under Corporate Governance. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee include reviewing and making recommendations to our Board concerning the compensation and benefits of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, and directors, overseeing the administration of our stock option and employee benefits plans, and reviewing general policies relating to compensation and benefits.

Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee

During 2023, our Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee was composed of Teresa F. Sparks and R. Lawrence Van Horn (Chair), until his resignation from the Board in November 2023. Martin A. Makary and Perry J. Sternberg joined the committee upon Mr. Van Horn’s resignation. Our Board has affirmatively determined that each member who serves on the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee is independent under applicable Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and satisfies all other qualifications under Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and the applicable rules of the SEC. The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee held four meetings in 2023.

The Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee acts pursuant to a written charter that has been adopted by the Board, which is available for review on the Investors section of the Company’s website, www.harrow.com, under Corporate Governance. The responsibilities of the Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee include evaluating and making recommendations to the Board with respect to director nominees and providing oversight of our corporate governance policies and practices.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 11

Board Leadership Structure

The Board may, but is not required to, select a Chairman of the Board on an annual basis. The positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer may be filled by one individual or two different individuals. Currently, the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are both filled by Mark L. Baum. As a result of his in-depth knowledge of the Company’s operations gained by serving as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Baum is well positioned to identify and lead Board deliberations regarding important matters relating to the Company’s operations, strategic priorities, and overall development. The Board believes that serving as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board enables Mr. Baum to facilitate effective communication between Company management and the Board and to ensure key issues and recommendations are brought to the attention of the Board. The Board believes that this leadership structure, in conjunction with the appointment of a Lead Independent Director, is the most effective for the Company at this time, and that our existing corporate governance practices effectively achieve independent oversight and management accountability.

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines also provide that, if the same individual serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, or if the Chairman of the Board is otherwise not independent, our Board shall appoint a Lead Independent Director. Mr. Van Horn served as our Lead Independent Director from 2021 until his resignation in November 2023. Following Mr. Van Horn’s resignation, Perry J. Sternberg was appointed to serve as Lead Independent Director.

The responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director include: (i) fostering processes that allow the Board to function independently of management and encouraging open and effective communication between the Board and management of the Company; (ii) providing input to the Chairman on behalf of the independent directors with respect to Board agendas; (iii) presiding at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present, as well as regularly scheduled executive sessions of independent directors; (iv) in the case of a conflict of interest involving a director, if appropriate, asking the conflicted director to leave the room during discussion concerning such matter and, if appropriate, asking such director to recuse himself or herself from voting on the relevant matter; (v) communicating with the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, as appropriate, regarding meetings of the independent directors and resources and information necessary for the Board to effectively carry out its duties and responsibilities; (vi) serving as liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors; (vii) being available to directors who have concerns that cannot be addressed through the Chairman; (viii) calling meetings of the independent directors, as needed or when appropriate; and (ix) performing other functions as may reasonably be requested by the Board or the Chairman. In the event the Company appoints an independent Chairman of the Board, the responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director will be assumed by the independent Chairman of the Board.

Board Role in Risk Management

The Board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, and each Board committee has responsibility for reviewing certain risk areas and reporting to the full Board. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks, and management’s risk mitigation strategies in certain focus areas. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, and other areas. The Board and its committees oversee risks associated with their respective areas of responsibility, as summarized below. Each committee meets with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors as required.

Board/Committee	Primary Areas of Risk Oversight
Full Board	Risks and exposures associated with our business strategy and other current matters that may present material risk to our financial performance, operations, prospects or reputation.
Audit Committee	Overall policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, material pending legal proceedings involving the Company and other contingent liabilities, any potential related party or conflict of interest transactions, as well as other risks and exposures that may have a material impact on our financial statements.
Compensation Committee	Risks and exposures associated with management succession planning and executive compensation programs and arrangements, including incentive plans.
Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee	Risks and exposures associated with director succession planning, corporate governance, and overall Board effectiveness.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 12

Company Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions

The charter of the Audit Committee of our Board tasks the Audit Committee with reviewing all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis (if such transactions are not reviewed and overseen by another independent body of the Board). In accordance with that policy, the Audit Committee’s general practice is to review and oversee any transactions that are reportable as related party transactions under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and SEC rules and regulations. Management advises the Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors on a regular basis of any such transaction that is proposed to be entered into or continued and seeks approval.

Transactions with Related Persons

Klarity License Agreement – Related Party

Richard L. Lindstrom served as a director of the Company from January 2015 until the 2023 Annual Meeting. Following the end of his term at the 2023 Annual Meeting, Mr. Lindstrom entered into a consulting agreement to continue working with the Company as senior advisor.

In April 2017, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Klarity License Agreement”) with Mr. Lindstrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Klarity License Agreement, the Company licensed certain intellectual property and related rights from Mr. Lindstrom to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license the topical ophthalmic solution Klarity designed to protect and rehabilitate the ocular surface (the “Klarity Product”).

Under the terms of the Klarity License Agreement, the Company is required to make royalty payments to Mr. Lindstrom ranging from 3% to 6% of net sales, dependent upon the final formulation of the Klarity Product sold. In addition, the Company is required to make certain milestone payments to Mr. Lindstrom including: (i) an initial payment of $50,000 upon execution of the Klarity License Agreement, (ii) a second payment of $50,000 following the first $50,000 in net sales of the Klarity Product; and (iii) a final payment of $50,000 following the first $100,000 in net sales of the Klarity Product.

Investment in Surface Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Related Agreements

In 2017, the Company formed Surface Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Surface”). In May and July 2018, Surface closed an offering of its Series A Preferred Stock. At that time, the Company lost its controlling interest and deconsolidated Surface from the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company owns 3,500,000 shares of common stock of Surface, which represented approximately 20% of Surface’s equity and voting interests as of December 31, 2023, and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment, as management has determined that the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Surface. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Surface in its consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Surface accordingly. The Company’s share of earnings and losses are based on the Company’s ownership interest of Surface. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reduced its common stock investment in Surface to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses of Surface. The Company has no other investments in Surface.

The Company entered into an asset purchase and license agreement with Surface in 2017 and amended it in April 2018 (the “Surface License Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Surface License Agreement, the Company assigned and licensed to Surface certain intellectual property and related rights associated with Surface’s drug candidates (collectively, the “Surface Products”). Surface is required to make mid-single-digit royalty payments to the Company on net sales of the Surface Products while any patent rights remain outstanding.

Mark L. Baum was a director of Surface until March 31, 2023. Adrienne L. Graves and Perry J. Sternberg, directors of the Company, also are directors of Surface.

Investment in Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In April 2018, the Company formed Melt Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Melt”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary. In December 2018, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Melt (the “Melt APA”). Pursuant to the terms of the Melt APA, Melt was assigned certain intellectual property and related rights from the Company to develop, formulate, make, sell, and sub-license certain Company conscious sedation and analgesia-related formulations (collectively, the “Melt Products”). Under the terms of the Melt APA, Melt is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments to the Company on net sales of the Melt Products while any patent rights remain outstanding, as well as other conditions.

In January and March of 2019, Melt entered into definitive stock purchase agreements (collectively, the “Melt Series A Preferred Stock Agreement”) with certain investors and closed on the purchase and sale of Melt’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Melt Series A Stock”), generating approximately $11,400,000 of proceeds (collectively, the “Melt Series A Round”) at a purchase price of $5.00 per share. As a result, the Company lost voting and ownership control of Melt and ceased consolidating Melt’s financial statements. In January 2019, the Company deconsolidated Melt and recorded a gain of $5,810,000 and adjusted the carrying value in Melt to reflect the increased valuation of Melt and the Company’s new ownership interest in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810-10-40-4(c), Consolidation.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 14

In February 2019, the Company and Melt entered into a management services agreement (the “Melt MSA”), whereby the Company provided to Melt certain administrative services and support, including bookkeeping, web services and human resources-related activities, and Melt was required to pay the Company a monthly amount of $10,000. The Melt MSA was terminated effective July 1, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded $89,000 and $91,000, respectively, due from Melt for reimbursable expenses and amounts payable pursuant to the Melt MSA, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company was due $228,000 and $139,000, respectively, from Melt for reimbursable expenses and amounts due under the Melt MSA. Melt did not make any payments to the Company during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company made a cash advance to Melt of $500,000 and Melt repaid the $500,000 cash advance during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Melt is required to make mid-single digit royalty payments to the Company on net sales of MELT-300 while any patent rights remain outstanding, subject to other conditions. Melt can require the Company to cease compounding like products at the time of U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of MELT-300. If approved, we do not expect a cessation of compounding like products to have a material impact on our operations and financial performance.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company reduced the carrying value of its common stock investment in Melt to $0 as a result of the Company recording its share of equity losses in Melt since its deconsolidation in 2019. As of December 31, 2022, and at the time of entering into the Melt Loan Agreement (as defined below), the Company owned 100% of Melt’s indebtedness. Following the reduction of the carrying value of the Company’s common stock investment in Melt to $0, the Company began recording 100% of the equity method losses of Melt, based on its ownership of Melt’s total indebtedness. In addition, the Company treated interest paid-in-kind on the Melt Loan Agreement as an in-substance capital contribution and reduced its investment in Melt accordingly, rather than recording interest income. The Company has no other requirements to advance funds to Melt.

On September 1, 2021, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement in the principal amount of $13,500,000 (the “Melt Loan Agreement”), as lender, with Melt, as borrower. Amounts borrowed under the Melt Loan Agreement bore interest at 12.50% per annum, which interest could have been paid in-kind at the option of Melt until the maturity date. The Melt Loan Agreement permitted Melt to pay interest only on the principal amount loaned thereunder through the term and all amounts owed were previously due and payable on September 1, 2022. In April 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment and in September 2022, a Second Amendment (together, the “Amendments”) to the Melt Loan Agreement. The Amendments (i) extended the maturity date of the Melt Loan Agreement to September 1, 2023, which could have been extended further to September 1, 2026, upon Melt completing a qualifying financing of a minimum amount of $10,000,000 from third-party investors, (ii) added conditions related to minimum cash amounts following a qualifying financing, and (iii) clarified the definition of material adverse effects. Melt could have elected to prepay all, but not less than all, of the amounts owed prior to the maturity date at any time without penalty. The net funds received by Melt excluded $908,000 owed to the Company for reimbursable expenses and amounts due under the Melt MSA prior to the effective date of the note receivable.

In connection with the Melt Loan Agreement, the Company and Melt entered into a Right of First Refusal Agreement providing the Company with the right, but not the obligation, to match any offer received by Melt associated with the commercial rights to any of Melt’s drug candidates for a period of five years following the effective date of the Melt Loan Agreement.

On December 28, 2023, the Company terminated the Melt Loan Agreement. As of the date of termination, approximately $18,395,000 remained outstanding under the Melt Loan Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of a Settlement and Payoff Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2023, by and between the Company and Melt (the “Settlement Agreement”), the Company received 2,260,000 shares of Melt’s Series B-1 Preferred Stock and 74,256 shares of Melt’s Series B Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Melt Preferred Stock”) (which both series have similar rights and preferences) in consideration for the full payment of all amounts outstanding under the Melt Loan Agreement. The Settlement Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and releases of the parties and requires the parties to enter into a registration rights agreement providing the Company with rights consistent with other holders of preferred stock of Melt. The Company concluded the Settlement Agreement is in substance a funding of the Company’s share of prior unrecorded losses and, therefore, those suspended losses must be recognized first against the value of the new Melt Preferred Stock investments. This resulted in reducing the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Melt, including the carrying value of the Melt Preferred Stock received, to zero (the consideration received in the form of an equivalent fair value of the Melt Preferred Stock to settle the full outstanding note receivable balance of $18,400,000 is essentially offset by an equal amount of the funding of prior unrecorded losses). Accordingly, this settlement transaction had no quantitative effect on either the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In accordance with ASC 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the carrying amount of the note receivable and other investments in Melt have been reduced by the Company’s allocated share of Melt’s losses based on its ownership of Melt and its total indebtedness.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 15

The Company owns 3,500,000 shares of common stock and 2,334,256 shares of preferred stock of Melt (representing in aggregate approximately 47% of Melt’s equity and voting interests as of December 31, 2023). The Company analyzes its investment in Melt and related agreements on a regular basis to evaluate its position of variable interests in Melt. The Company has determined that it does not have the ability to control Melt; however, it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial decisions of Melt and uses the equity method of accounting for this investment. Under this method, the Company recognizes earnings and losses in Melt in its consolidated financial statements and adjusts the carrying amount of its investment in Melt accordingly. Any intra-entity profits and losses are eliminated.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark L. Baum, was a member of the Melt board of directors until his resignation in 2021. Following Mr. Baum’s departure, the Company did not have any representation on Melt’s board of directors until January 2023, when Mr. Baum re-joined the Melt board of directors. At the time Mr. Baum re-joined the Melt board of directors, the board consisted of five members, including Mr. Baum.

Policy on Hedging, Pledging and Similar Activities

We maintain an insider trading policy that governs transactions in our securities by directors, officers and other employees. Among other provisions, the policy prohibits “short-selling” of any equity security of the Company and transactions in put options, call options or other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market. Hedging or monetization transactions, including through the use of financial instruments such as prepaid variable forwards, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds, are strongly discouraged and must be submitted for approval by the Company’s compliance officer prior to any proposed execution of such a transaction. Directors and officers are also prohibited from holding our securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging our securities as collateral for a loan. In addition, the policy discourages placing standing or limit orders on Company securities.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Named Executive Officers

Our named executive officers for 2023 were:

Name	Position
Mark L. Baum	Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors
Andrew R. Boll	Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary
John P. Saharek	Chief Commercial Officer; Chief Executive Officer and President, ImprimisRx

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our philosophy in setting compensation policies for executive officers has two fundamental objectives: (1) to attract, motivate and retain a highly skilled team of executives and (2) to align our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders by rewarding short-term and long-term performance and tying compensation to increases in stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation should be directly linked both to continuous improvements in corporate performance (pay for performance) and the achievement of objectives that are expected to increase stockholder value. In furtherance of this goal, the Compensation Committee has established the following guidelines as a foundation for compensation decisions:

● provide a competitive total compensation package that enables the Company to attract and retain highly qualified executives with the skills and experience required for the achievement of business goals;

● align compensation elements with the Company’s annual goals and long-term business strategies and objectives;

● promote the achievement of key strategic and financial performance measures by linking short-term and long-term cash and equity incentives to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance goals; and

● align executives’ incentives with the creation of stockholder value.

The Compensation Committee considers, with respect to each of the Company’s executive officers, the total compensation that may be awarded, including base salary, annual incentive compensation, long-term incentive compensation and other benefits, such as discretionary cash bonuses, perquisites and other personal benefits available to each executive officer or that may be received by such executive officer under certain circumstances, including compensation payable upon termination of such executive officer under an employment agreement or severance agreement (if applicable). The Compensation Committee recognizes that its overall goal is to award compensation that is reasonable when all elements of potential compensation are considered. The Compensation Committee believes that cash compensation in the form of base salary and an annual incentive bonus provides our executives with short-term rewards for success in operations, and that long-term compensation through the award of stock options, restricted stock units and other equity awards aligns the objectives of management with those of our stockholders with respect to long-term performance and success.

The Compensation Committee also has historically focused on the Company’s financial and working capital condition when making compensation decisions and approving performance objectives. Because the Company has historically sought to preserve cash, overall compensation traditionally has been weighted more heavily toward equity-based compensation, as well as cash payments that are earned only upon the Company’s achievement of specified performance goals. The Compensation Committee will continue to periodically reassess the appropriate weighting of cash and equity compensation in light of the Company’s expenditures in connection with commercial operations and its working capital needs.

Roles in Determining Executive Officer Compensation

Compensation Committee

In accordance with its charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and evaluating our executive officer compensation program, including: (i) determining the objectives of the executive officer compensation program and reviewing and recommending to the Board the program as a whole and the elements of compensation that comprise the program to be consistent with such objectives; (ii) evaluating the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, and in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, the performance of our other executive officers, in light of the level of achievement of individual and corporate goals and objectives; and (iii) approving and/or recommending to the Board the compensation package for all executive officers of the Company. In accordance with its charter, the Compensation Committee, from time to time, solicits information and, as appropriate, recommendations from management of the Company with respect to executive officer compensation, although the ultimate determination and any recommendations to the Board remain with the Compensation Committee, and all equity grants are made by the Compensation Committee.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 18

Chief Executive Officer

Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer is reviewed, evaluated and approved by the Compensation Committee without the presence or participation of the Chief Executive Officer.

The Chief Executive Officer reviews and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers and other members of the senior management team. While the Compensation Committee may review and consider recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee takes such action regarding compensation as it deems appropriate, which may include concurring with the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations, or proposing adjustments to such recommendations, prior to the Compensation Committee approving any compensation.

Compensation Consultant

During 2023, the Compensation Committee retained the services of an external compensation consultant, Mercer, Inc. (“Mercer”). The mandate of the consultant was to assist the Compensation Committee in its review of executive and director compensation practices, including the competitiveness of pay levels, executive compensation design (including equity grants of subsidiaries), benchmarking with the Company’s peers in the industry and other technical considerations including tax- and accounting-related matters. The Compensation Committee regularly evaluates Mercer’s performance, considers alternative compensation consultants and has the final authority to engage and terminate Mercer’s services. The decision to engage Mercer was made solely by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, after a review of the factors set forth in Section 10C-1 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq requirements, has determined that the work performed by Mercer did not present any conflicts of interest.

The Compensation Committee intends to continue to engage with Mercer in order to assist the Compensation Committee in its ongoing review of executive and director compensation practices, including a regular review and update of the Company’s peer companies.

Competitive Market Benchmarking

The Compensation Committee draws on a number of resources to assist in the evaluation of the various components of the Company’s executive compensation program including, but not limited to, industry data compiled by Mercer in its Global Life Sciences Survey, which represents a nationally-based assessment of executive compensation widely used within the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry sectors. While we do not establish compensation levels based solely on benchmarking, pay practices at other companies within such sectors are an important factor that the Compensation Committee considers in assessing the reasonableness of compensation and ensuring that our compensation practices are competitive in the marketplace. The Compensation Committee adopted a group of peer companies in 2023, and the Compensation Committee may revise the group of peer companies to take into account changes in market capitalization and similarities to the Company along the dimensions of competition for talent, phase of development or stage of commercialization, current and potential market capitalization, and number of employees in the future. More specifically, when establishing the 2023 peer group, the Compensation Committee and Mercer focused on biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, targeting commercial companies, when possible, with employee headcounts over 100 employees. Mercer and the Compensation Committee also gave consideration to market value, research and development expense, location, stage of development and ophthalmic focus. The list of peer companies identified in 2023 by the Compensation Committee was comprised of the following companies:

●	Agios Pharmaceuticals	●	Anika Therapeutics	●	Enanta Pharmaceuticals
●	Eyepoint Pharmaceuticals	●	Glaukos Corporation	●	Heron Therapeutics
●	IVERIC bio, Inc. (1)	●	Karyopharm Therapeutics	●	Kodiak Sciences
●	Nektar Therapeutics	●	Ocular Therapeutix	●	RVL Pharmaceuticals (2)
●	Revance Therapeutics	●	Rigel Pharmaceuticals	●	STAAR Surgical Company
●	Travere Therapeutics

(1)	IVERIC bio was acquired by Astellas Pharma Inc. in July 2023 and therefore is no longer a public company.
(2)	In February 2024, RVL Pharmaceuticals (“RVL”) announced that the High Court of Ireland made a winding up order, pursuant to which a liquidator was appointed to RVL, which would result in the company’s ultimate dissolution, and therefore is no longer a public company.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 19

Compensation Program Overview

In 2023, our executive compensation program consisted of the following forms of compensation, each of which is described in greater detail below:

● Base Salary

● Annual Bonus

● Equity Compensation

● Employee Benefit Program

● Change of Control Arrangements

Base Salary

The Compensation Committee believes it is important to provide adequate fixed compensation to our executive officers working in a highly volatile and competitive industry. Our Compensation Committee believes the base salaries are generally the appropriate cash compensation level that will allow us to attract and retain highly skilled executives. The Compensation Committee considers our stockholders’ interests in paying what is necessary to achieve our corporate goals, while conserving cash as much as practicable, when setting base salaries. We believe that, given the industry in which we operate, our current working capital needs and our compensation philosophy and objectives, base salaries at current levels are generally sufficient to retain our current executives and to hire new executives when and as required. In determining appropriate base salary levels for a given executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers the following factors:

● individual performance of the executive, as well as our overall performance, during the prior year;

● level of responsibility, including breadth, scope and complexity of the position;

● level of experience and expertise of the executive;

● internal review of the executive’s compensation relative to other executives to ensure internal equity; and

● executive officer compensation levels at other similar companies to ensure competitiveness.

Salaries for executive officers are determined on an individual basis at the time of hire. Adjustments to base salary are considered annually in light of the factors above. The Chief Executive Officer assists the Compensation Committee in its annual review of the base salaries of other named executive officers and members of senior management based on the foregoing criteria.

Annual Bonus

The Company provides executive officers with annual performance-based cash bonus opportunities, which are specifically designed to reward executives for overall corporate performance as well as individual performance in a given year. Corporate and individual goals are established at the beginning of each year by the Compensation Committee with input from senior management. The target annual incentive bonus amounts relative to base salary vary depending on each executive’s accountability, scope of responsibilities and potential impact on the Company’s performance. Accordingly, the higher the level of control and accountability that is exercisable by an executive officer over our overall performance, the greater the percentage of the executive officer’s target total cash compensation that is dependent on the annual performance-based cash bonus award. We believe these target bonus levels for our executive officers are appropriate and consistent with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. At the end of each fiscal year, individual and corporate performance are measured versus plan and a percentage of target is established, which then determines the size of the total bonus pool from which annual bonus incentives are to be paid to executive officers. All cash bonuses are awarded retrospectively.

For 2023 and 2022, the annual incentive bonus for our executive officers was based 100% on overall corporate performance, including metrics associated with revenue, adjusted EBITDA, revenue from certain products and stock price performance. Target annual incentive bonus levels for 2023 and 2022 were 60% of annual base salary for our Chief Executive Officer and 50% for all other named executive officers. At the end of each year, the Compensation Committee, with input from senior management, evaluates individual and corporate performance compared against the goals established under the 2017 Plan (as defined under the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table below), which determines the size of the total bonus pool from which cash bonuses are to be paid to executive officers. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee determined to award, for service performed in 2023 that exceeded target levels, our Chief Executive Officer a cash incentive bonus equal to 60% of his annual base salary, and our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Commercial Officer cash incentive bonuses equal to 50% of their annual base salaries.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 20

Equity Compensation

As an additional component of our compensation program, executive officers are eligible to receive equity compensation in the form of stock options, restricted stock and/or RSUs. The Compensation Committee does not have a stated policy regarding the issuance of equity grants, however, historically our named executive officers have been granted service/time-based vesting equity awards and certain executive officers have also been granted options and RSUs that contain performance/market-based vesting conditions. The Compensation Committee grants equity awards to executive officers to aid in their retention, to motivate them to assist with the achievement of corporate objectives and to align their interests with those of our stockholders by creating a return tied to the performance of our stock price. In determining the form, date of issuance and value of a grant, the Compensation Committee considers the contributions and responsibilities of each executive officer, appropriate incentives for the achievement of our long-term growth, the size and value of grants made to other executives at peer companies holding comparable positions, individual achievement of designated performance goals, and the Company’s overall performance relative to corporate objectives.

See the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table below for additional details about awards held by our named executive officers.

Employee Benefit Program

Executive officers are eligible to participate in all of our employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, vision, group life, disability and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, in each case on the same basis as other employees, subject to applicable law. We also provide vacation and other paid holidays to all employees, including executive officers, all of which we believe to be comparable to those provided at peer companies. These benefit programs are designed to enable us to attract and retain our workforce in a competitive marketplace. Health, welfare and vacation benefits ensure that we have a productive and focused workforce through reliable and competitive health and other benefits.

Our retirement savings plan (401(k) plan) is a tax-qualified retirement savings plan, pursuant to which all employees, including the named executive officers, are able to contribute certain amounts of their annual compensation, subject to limits prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. We have historically made matching contributions of up to 4% of cash compensation contributed to the plan. The value of the 401(k) benefit for each of our named executive officers is reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

Change of Control Arrangements

We have entered into change of control arrangements with each of our named executive officers. Our Board approved these change of control arrangements in order to mitigate some of the risk that exists for executives working in a biopharmaceutical company at our current stage and where the possibility exists that we may be acquired if our efforts succeed. These arrangements are intended to retain highly skilled executives who have, or who may seek, alternatives that may appear to them to be less risky in terms of the potential loss of their position following a merger or sale, particularly where the services of these executive officers may not be required by the acquirer. These arrangements provide change of control benefits either upon the termination of the employee’s service, a significant change in job responsibilities or the need to relocate within 12 months following a change of control. By using a so-called “double trigger” change of control benefit, and thereby tying the severance benefit both to a change in control and change in job status, rather than the mere consummation of a change of control transaction, the Compensation Committee believes that it is better able to balance the employee’s need for certainty with the interests of our stockholders.

Information regarding the change of control arrangements and the potential value of payments upon termination related to a change of control is provided for the named executive officers under the heading “Change of Control Arrangements” in the sections below describing each named executive officer’s compensation arrangements.

2023 PSUs – Multi-Year Awards

In April 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,567,913 PSUs to members of its senior management including named executive officers, which are subject to the satisfaction of certain market-based and continued service conditions (the “2023 PSUs”). The vesting of the 2023 PSUs require (i) a minimum of a two-year service period, and (ii) at any point during a five-year term, the achievement and maintenance of Company common stock price targets for ten consecutive trading days ranging between $25.00 to $50.00 per share, separated into four separate tranches as described further in the tables below.

The Compensation Committee considered the 2023 PSUs as multi-year awards, and as a result does not expect to issue equity awards to members of its senior management team during 2024.

Harrow, Inc. 2024 Proxy Statement 23

Vesting amounts for Mr. Baum’s 2023 PSUs are as follows:

Tranche	Number of Shares		Target Share Price*

Tranche 3		79,200	$	45.00
Tranche 4		99,000	$	50.00

*Target Share Price assumes that no dividends or like distributions are made to stockholders of the Company. If such distributions are made, the Target Share Price would decrease accordingly, to the benefit of the employee, to account for the dividend/distribution.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the target share price metric for Tranche 1 had been met and, assuming the executives reach the required two-year service period, the Company expects Tranche 1 shares to vest in 2025.

Compensation Arrangements with Mark L. Baum

Employment Agreements

On April 25, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Baum Agreement”) with Mr. Baum with respect to his employment as Chief Executive Officer.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee manages relations with and evaluates the performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and evaluates policies and procedures relating to internal control systems. The Audit Committee operates under a written Audit Committee charter that has been adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available for review on the Investors section of the Company’s website, www.harrow.com, under Corporate Governance.

The Company’s management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including the Company’s system of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed with management the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report. This review included a discussion of the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting, including the nature and extent of disclosures in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Audit Committee also reviewed the progress and results of the testing of the design and effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, its judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting and such other matters as are required to be discussed with such firm by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

In addition to the matters specified above, the Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope, plans and estimated costs of their audit. The Audit Committee met with the independent registered public accounting firm periodically, with and without management present, to discuss the results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s examinations, the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting and the independent registered public accounting firm’s reviews of the quarterly financial statements and drafts of the quarterly and annual reports.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, should be included in the Annual Report.

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, annual report or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” can provide added convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are the Company’s stockholders will be “householding” our proxy materials. A single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, annual report or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials from us, please notify your broker, direct your written request to Harrow, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 102 Woodmont Blvd., Suite 610, Nashville, TN 37205 or call Investor Relations at (615) 733-4731, and we will promptly thereafter deliver separate copies to you. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of our proxy materials at their address and would like to request “householding” of these materials should contact their brokers.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Stockholder Proposals for 2025 Annual Meeting

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our next annual meeting of stockholders. To be eligible for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting, a stockholder’s proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than December 30, 2024, unless the date of our 2025 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or after the one-year anniversary date of the Annual Meeting, in which case such proposals must be received by the Company a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send applicable proxy materials to stockholders. In addition, stockholder proposals must otherwise comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, including delivery of proof of ownership of our common stock in accordance with Rule 14a-8(b)(2). The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in our proxy statement.

Advance Notice Requirements for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Our Bylaws require advance notice of business to be brought before a stockholders’ meeting, including nominations of persons for election as directors. To be timely, in the case of a stockholder seeking to have a proposal included in the Company’s proxy statement, notice of business must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 120 days nor more than 180 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of the proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting, or between October 28, 2024, and December 27, 2024, for our 2025 Annual Meeting, except if we did not hold an annual meeting the previous year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials to stockholders, and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to the scheduled annual meeting or (ii) the 15th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made. If a stockholder is not seeking inclusion of the proposal in the Company’s proxy statement, timely notice of business to be brought before our 2025 Annual Meeting must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. Any notice of a stockholder proposal must contain specified information concerning the matters to be brought before such meeting and concerning the stockholder proposing such matters.

A stockholder who desires to recommend a candidate for nomination to our Board of Directors must do so in writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices, which written notice must be received no later than 90 days before the date of the annual meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected. In addition to satisfying the foregoing advance notice requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules for the 2025 Annual Meeting, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 14, 2025, except if we did not hold an annual meeting the previous year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting of stockholders has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then the notice must be provided by the later of 60 days prior to the date of the annual meeting or the 10^th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made.
