INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

 

Purpose of the Meeting

 

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is for the stockholders to consider and act on the following proposals:

 

  1. To elect Jerry Comstock and Robert DeVincenzi as Class B directors, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified;
     
  2. Ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023; and
     
  3. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting, or any adjournments or postponements of such meeting.

 

Stockholders Entitled to Vote at the Meeting

 

Our Board has established the close of business on April 28, 2023 as the “record date” for the Annual Meeting. This means that you are entitled to vote at this meeting (and any adjournments) if our records show that you owned shares of our common stock or preferred stock at that time. As of this record date, 17,255,228 shares of our common stock were issued and 13,843,006 were outstanding, and 600,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which we refer to as the Series A Preferred Stock or the preferred stock, were issued and outstanding.

 

Each issued and outstanding share of common stock as of the record date is entitled to one vote on each matter properly to come before the Annual Meeting and can be voted only if the record owner of that share, determined as of the record date, is either present in person at the meeting or represented by proxy.

 

The holders of shares of the preferred stock are entitled to vote with the holders of shares of common stock and not as a separate class, on all matters properly to come before holders of shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting. Each holder of shares of preferred stock is entitled to that number of votes equal to the whole number of shares of common stock into which such holder’s aggregate number of shares of preferred stock are convertible (pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designation but as restricted in the case of any Electing Holder (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) by Section 14 of the Certificate of Designation) as of the close of business on the record date. Subject to the foregoing, each holder of shares of the preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the largest number of full shares of common stock into which all shares of preferred stock held of record by such holder could then be converted (taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) then in effect (the Liquidation Preference includes all accrued and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock) for purposes of the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) and any Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) adjustments made pursuant to Section 8 of the Certificate of Designation) at the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to vote on or consent to such matters. As a result, the preferred stock are collectively entitled to 5,998,019 votes on each matter properly to come before the holders of common stock at the Annual Meeting and can be voted only if the record owner of shares of preferred stock, determined as of the record date, is present in person at the meeting or represented by proxy. Collectively, the holders of common stock and preferred stock are entitled to 19,841,025 votes on each matter properly to come before holders of common stock at the Annual Meeting.

 

Separately, so long as shares of the preferred stock are outstanding, holders of shares of preferred stock, by the vote or written consent of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of the preferred stock, have the right to designate two (2) members to our Board, in addition to such members as are elected by holders of common stock. The two directors designated by the holders of the preferred stock are Jerry Comstock (a Class B director) and Christopher S. Shackelton (a Class C director).

Voting Shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock By Proxy That You Hold In Your Name

 

In addition to voting during the Annual Meeting via www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/LAZY2023, you have three choices:

 

VOTE BY INTERNET – www.proxyvote.com. Use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions up until 11:59 P.M. on June 11, 2023. Have the Notice in hand when you access the website. Follow the steps outlined on the secured website.

 

VOTE BY PHONE – 1-800-690-6903. Use any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions up until 11:59 P.M. on June 11, 2023.

 

VOTE BY MAIL - Mark, sign and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided or mail it to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

 

Voting Shares of Common Stock That You Hold in Brokerage or Similar Accounts

 

Many stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. If you hold your shares of common stock in one of these ways, you are considered a beneficial owner, not a record owner, and you therefore have no direct vote on any matter to come before the Annual Meeting. Your broker, bank, or nominee will send you voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee in how to vote your shares of common stock. Your broker, bank or nominee may allow you to deliver your voting instructions via the telephone or the Internet.

 

If you hold your shares of common stock through a broker and you do not timely provide your broker with specific instructions on how to vote your shares of common stock, your broker will not be authorized to cast a vote on your behalf on Proposals 1 or 2. In such cases, a “broker non-vote” may be entered with respect to your shares of common stock on Proposals 1 and 2 to reflect that your broker was present with respect to your shares of common stock at the meeting but was not exercising voting rights on your behalf with respect to those shares of common stock. A broker non-vote occurs when banks, brokers or others who hold shares in street name for a client return a proxy, but provide no instruction as to how shares should be voted on a particular matter.

 

The shares of preferred stock are only held by stockholders directly in their own name and as a result there will be no broker non-votes with respect to the shares of preferred stock.

 

Your Voting Options on Each of the Proposals

 

You may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” with respect to the election of each nominee for director (Proposal 1 on the proxy card).

 

You may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” with respect to the proposal to approve the proposal on the ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP (“RSM”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (Proposal 2 on the proxy card).

 

If any other matter is presented at the Annual Meeting, your proxy provides that your shares will be voted by the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card in accordance with their best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was first made available, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

Our Board’s Voting Recommendations

 

Our Board recommends that you vote:

 

  FOR the proposal to elect Jerry Comstock and Robert DeVincenzi as the Class B directors, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified (Proposal 1 on the proxy card); and
     
  FOR ratification of the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (Proposal 2 on the proxy card).

 

If any other matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the Company - through the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card or their designees, and pursuant to the blanket authorization granted under the proxy - will vote your shares on that matter in accordance with the discretion and judgment of the proxy holder.

 

Required Votes to Approve Each Proposal

 

Two Class B director positions on our Board are scheduled to be filled by vote of the holders of our common stock and preferred stock at the Annual Meeting.

 

As a stockholder, you are entitled to cast one vote per share of common stock entitled to vote for the nominees for election as director at the Annual Meeting. Directors are elected from among the nominees by a plurality of the votes that are cast among all nominees; this means that the two director nominees who receive the highest number of votes cast “for” their election will be elected as directors of the Company. A properly returned proxy indicating “against” with respect to the election of one or more directors will be voted against the director or directors indicated. A properly returned proxy indicating “abstain” with respect to the election of one or more directors will have no effect on the election of directors. Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast on the proposal and will have no effect on the election of directors.

 

The vote of the holders of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote at the meeting will: (i) ratify the appointment of RSM US LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (Proposal 2), and (ii) approve any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 2. Broker non votes are not entitled to vote on Proposal 2.

 

Quorum

 

Delaware law provides that any stockholder action at a meeting requires that a quorum exist with respect to that meeting. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed by Delaware law to be present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and (unless a new record date is or must be set for any such adjournment) any adjournment of that meeting.

 

The holders of a majority of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present or represented at the Annual Meeting, the holders of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the Annual Meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the Annual Meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned Annual Meeting, a notice of the adjourned Annual Meeting will be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

 

Shares of common stock and preferred stock held of record by stockholders who (in person or by proxy) abstain from voting on any or all proposals (and shares of common stock represented by broker non-votes, described above under “Voting Shares of Common Stock That You Hold in Brokerage or Similar Accounts”) will be included in the number of shares of common stock and preferred stock present at the meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Voting on Possible Other Matters

 

We are not aware that any person intends to propose that any matter, other than the two numbered proposals specifically described by this proxy statement, be presented for consideration or action by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. If any such other matter should properly come before the meeting, however, favorable action on such matter would generally require the affirmative vote of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote at the meeting, unless our certificate of incorporation or Bylaws or applicable law require otherwise. If you vote by proxy, you will be granting the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card authority to vote your shares of common stock and preferred stock on any such other matter in accordance with their discretion and judgment.

 

Revocation of Proxies or Voting Instructions

 

A stockholder of record who has delivered a proxy card in response to this solicitation may revoke it before it is exercised at the Annual Meeting by executing and delivering a timely and valid later-dated proxy, by participating in the Annual Meeting and voting the shares electronically at the meeting or by giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary. If a stockholder of record has voted via the Internet or telephone, such stockholder may also change that vote with a timely and valid later Internet vote, telephone vote or by participating in the meeting and voting the shares electronically at the meeting. Attendance at the meeting will not have the effect of revoking a proxy unless a stockholder gives proper written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary before the proxy is exercised or the stockholder votes at the meeting. Beneficial owners who have directed their broker, bank or nominee as to how to vote their shares should contact their broker, bank or nominee for instructions as to how they may revoke or change those voting directions.

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

Our Board is making this solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. The Company will bear all costs of such solicitation, including the cost of preparing and distributing this proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy. After the initial distribution of this proxy statement, proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, facsimile transmission or personally by directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting materials to beneficial owners of shares held by them for the accounts of beneficial owners, and we will pay their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INFORMATION

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

The Board has no policy regarding the need to separate or combine the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and instead the Board remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner that seems most appropriate for the Company. The position of Chairman of the Board is currently held by Christopher S. Shackelton. The position of Chief Executive Officer is currently held by John North. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate because it allows Mr. North to focus his efforts on running our business and managing the Company, while we realize the benefits of Mr. Shackelton’s extensive business experience and current and past service on boards of other publicly traded companies. Additionally, Mr. DeVincenzi serves as our lead independent director. Our lead independent director role is designed to ensure a strong, independent, and active board.

 

Director Independence

 

We are subject to Nasdaq’s requirement that a majority of the board of directors be “independent.” Our Board has determined that all of our directors, other than Messrs. North and Shackleton, qualify as “independent” directors in accordance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests regarding a director’s independence and requires that the Board make an affirmative determination that a director has no relationship with the Company that would interfere with such director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. There are no Family Members as defined by Nasdaq among any of our directors or executive officers.

 

Role of Board in Oversight of Enterprise Risk

 

The Board is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the risk management function, specifically with respect to management’s assessment of risk exposures (including risks related to liquidity, credit, inflation, operations, regulatory compliance and cybersecurity, among others), and the processes in place to monitor and control such exposures. Our Audit Committee regularly reviews our financial statements, certain financial disclosures, our financial and other internal controls, and regularly receives reports from management. The other committees of the Board consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to the Company’s compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews our executive compensation policies and practices, and other related employee benefits, and the risks associated with each. The Nominating and Governance Committee considers issues associated with the independence of our Board and corporate governance. The Board satisfies its oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

Committees and Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings

 

Our Board held 15 meetings during 2022. During that time, no member of the Board attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of meetings of our Board (held during the period for which he or she was a director), and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he or she served (held during the period that such director served).

 

Pursuant to our Bylaws, the Board may establish one or more committees of the Board, however designated, and delegate to any such committee the full power of the Board, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Our Board has established three separately designated standing committees to assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The charters for each committee set forth the scope of the responsibilities of that committee. The Board assesses the effectiveness and contribution of each committee on an annual basis. The charters for our Board committees are available at www.lazydays.com/investor-relations/governance#documents, and you may obtain a printed copy of any of these charters by sending a written request to: Investor Relations, Lazydays Holdings, Inc., 4042 Park Oaks Blvd., Suite 350, Tampa, Florida 33610.

 

Audit Committee

 

The members of this committee are Messrs. Fredlake (Chair), Comstock and Gnat. The Board has determined that Mr. Fredlake is an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during 2022.

 

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities by overseeing our accounting and financial processes and the audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee has the ultimate authority and direct responsibility for the selection, appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the Company’s independent auditor that is engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attestation services for the Company (including the resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditors regarding financial reporting), and the independent auditor must report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee also is responsible for the review of proposed transactions between the Company and related parties. For a complete description of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities, please refer to the Audit Committee Charter.

 

Please also see the report of the Audit Committee set forth elsewhere in this proxy statement.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The members of the Compensation Committee are Ms. Serow (Chair) and Messrs. DeVincenzi and Gnat. Mr. Comstock served on the Compensation Committee from approximately January 1, 2022 until September 5, 2022, while Mr. DeVincenzi was serving as our interim chief executive officer. The Compensation Committee held eight meetings during 2022.

 

The Compensation Committee was established to, among other things, administer and approve all elements of compensation and awards for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has the responsibility to review and approve the Company’s goals and objectives relevant to the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluate individual performance of the Chief Executive Officer in light of those goals and objectives, determine and approve the compensation of all executive officers, review and make recommendations regarding the adoption of and amendments to incentive compensation and equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee may delegate the power to administer the Company’s incentive and equity-based compensation plans, including the grant of stock options, restricted stock, and other equity awards under such plans. It may also delegate any of its responsibilities to one or more subcommittees as the Committee may from time to time deem appropriate. For a complete description of the Compensation Committee’s responsibilities, please refer to the Compensation Committee Charter.

 

ClearBridge Compensation Group, LLC (“ClearBridge”), an independent compensation consulting firm, was engaged by the Compensation Committee in 2022 to advise the Compensation Committee regarding the amount and types of compensation provided to our executive officers.

Nominating and Governance Committee

 

The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Messrs. Comstock (Chair) and Fredlake and Ms. Serow. The Nominating and Governance Committee held four meetings during 2022.

 

The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board or any committee of the Board; recommending nominees for election as directors at each annual stockholder meeting; recommending candidates to fill any vacancies on the Board or any committee of the Board; and overseeing the evaluation of the Board. For a complete description of the Nominating and Governance Committee’s responsibilities, please refer to the Nominating and Governance Committee Charter.

 

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

 

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct Policy

 

In order to clearly set forth our commitment to conduct our operations in accordance with our high standards of business ethics and applicable laws and regulations, the Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct (“Code of Conduct”), which is applicable to all directors, officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on our corporate website at www.lazydays.com/investor-relations/governance#documents. You also may obtain a printed copy of the Code of Conduct by sending a written request to: Investor Relations, Lazydays Holdings, Inc., 4042 Park Oaks Blvd., Suite 350, Tampa, Florida 33610. In the event that we amend or waive any of the provisions of the Code of Conduct that relate to any element of the code of ethics, as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K, we intend to disclose the amendment or waiver on our Investor Relations website.

 

Policy on Employee, Officer and Director Hedging

 

Our insider trading policy provides that our directors, officers, employees and members of their immediate family may not engage in any hedging or monetization transactions with respect to our securities, including by trading in put or call options, warrants, swaps, forwards and other derivatives or similar instruments on our securities, or by selling our securities “short.” Anyone may, in accordance with the insider trading policy and any other applicable corporate policies, exercise options granted to them by the Company.

 

Stock Ownership Guidelines for Executive Officers and Directors

 

The Board adopted stock ownership and holding requirements guidelines (the “Stock Ownership Guidelines”) in April 2022 to further align the interests of the executive officers and directors with the interests of stockholders and to further promote the Company’s commitment to sound corporate governance. The guidelines require the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to hold an amount of stock at least equal to four times base salary, and the Chief Financial Officer and Vice President and National General Manager to hold an amount of stock at least equal to three times base salary. A non-employee director is required to hold an amount of stock equal to at least four times the retainer paid to the director.

 

Shares that satisfy the Stock Ownership Guidelines consist of: (i) shares of common stock of the Company owned by an executive officer or director, including shares acquired upon the vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units, and (ii) unexercised stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted stock units.

 

11
 

 

Executive officers and directors are expected to achieve their respective target holdings levels within three years of the date of the adoption of the Stock Ownership Guidelines and to maintain their ownership at or above their target holdings levels after.

 

Director Nomination Process

 

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

 

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider persons identified by its members, management, stockholders and others. Nominees will be reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board (including the diversity in background, experience, and viewpoints of the Board), the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. In conducting its assessment, the Nominating and Governance Committee will consider and evaluate each nominee based upon its assessment of the following criteria:

 

  Whether the candidate is independent pursuant to the requirements of Nasdaq.
  Whether the candidate is accomplished in his or her field and has a reputation, both personal and professional, that is consistent with the image and reputation of the Company.
  Whether the candidate has the ability to read and understand basic financial statements. The Nominating and Governance Committee also will determine if a candidate satisfies the criteria for being an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the SEC.
  Whether the candidate has relevant experience and expertise and would be able to provide insights and practical wisdom based upon that experience and expertise.
  Whether the candidate has knowledge of the Company and issues affecting the Company.
  Whether the candidate is committed to enhancing stockholder value.
  Whether the candidate fully understands, or has the capacity to fully understand, the legal responsibilities of a director and the governance processes of a public company.
  Whether the candidate is of high moral and ethical character and would be willing to apply sound, objective, and independent business judgment, and to assume broad fiduciary responsibility.
  Whether the candidate has, and would be willing to commit, the required hours necessary to discharge the duties of Board membership.
  Whether the candidate has any prohibitive interlocking relationships or conflicts of interest.
  Whether the candidate is able to develop a good working relationship with other Board members and contribute to the Board’s working relationship with the senior management of the Company.
  Whether the candidate is able to suggest business opportunities to the Company.

 

If a stockholder wishes to suggest a proposed name of a nominee for consideration by the Nominating and Governance Committee, the stockholder must submit his/her/its recommendation not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to the annual meeting of stockholders to the Corporate Secretary at Lazydays Holdings, Inc., 4042 Park Oaks Blvd., Suite 350, Tampa, Florida 33610. The stockholders’ recommendation must contain the following information about the nominee:

 

  Name;
  Age;
  Business and current residence addresses, as well as residence addresses for the past 20 years;
  Principal occupation or employment and employment history (name and address of employer and job title) for the past 10 years (or such shorter period as the candidate has been in the workforce);
  Educational background;
  Permission for the Company to conduct a background investigation, including the right to obtain education, employment, and credit information;
  The number of shares of common stock of the Company beneficially owned by the candidate;
  The information that would be required to be disclosed by the Company about the candidate under the rules of the SEC in a Proxy Statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate as a director (which currently includes information required by Items 401, 404 and 405 of Regulation S-K); and
  A signed consent of the nominee to serve as a director of the Company, if elected.

 

Communication with Directors

 

The Board has adopted a process to facilitate written communications by stockholders or other interested parties to the entire board, the independent members of the Board as a group or any individual member of the Board. Persons wishing to write to the Board, to a specified director or to a committee of the Board, should send correspondence to the Corporate Secretary at Lazydays Holdings, Inc., 4042 Park Oaks Blvd., Suite 350, Tampa, Florida 33610 or to investors@lazydays.com.

 

The Corporate Secretary will forward to the directors all communications that, in his or her judgment, are appropriate for consideration by the directors. Examples of communications that would not be appropriate for consideration by the directors include commercial solicitations and matters not relevant to the stockholders, to the functioning of the board, or to the affairs of Lazydays.

 

Attendance at Annual Meetings

 

We do not have a formal policy requiring director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders, but we do encourage all of our directors to attend the annual meetings of stockholders. None of our Board members, other than Christopher Shackleton and Robert DeVincenzi, attended our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Under applicable SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the “beneficial owner” of a voting security if such person has (or shares) either investment power or voting power over such security or has (or shares) the right to acquire such security within 60 days by any of a number of means, including upon the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of convertible securities. A beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants and convertible securities that are held by the beneficial owner, but not those held by any other person, and which are exercisable or convertible within 60 days, have been exercised or converted.

 

As of April 21, 2023, 17,255,228 shares of common stock were issued and 13,843,006 were outstanding, and 600,000 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock and preferred stock as of April 21, 2023, by: (i) each of our directors and named executive officers, (ii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group, and (iii) each stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting securities. To our knowledge, except as otherwise indicated, each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the voting securities beneficially owned by such person, except to the extent such power may be shared with a spouse. To our knowledge, none of the voting securities listed below are held under a voting trust or similar agreement, except as noted. To our knowledge, there is no arrangement, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change in control of the Company.

 

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is c/o Lazydays Holdings, Inc., 4042 Park Oaks Blvd., Suite 350, Tampa, Florida 33610.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

The following Report of our Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate this Report by reference.

 

The Audit Committee reviews the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, for preparing the financial statements and for the report process. The Audit Committee members do not serve as professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management or the independent registered public accounting firm. We have engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to report on the conformity of the Company’s financial statements to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In this context, the Audit Committee reports as follows:

 

1. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management of the Company.
   
2. The Audit Committee has discussed with RSM, our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2022, the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC.
   
3. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from RSM required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and the Audit Committee has discussed with RSM RSM’s independence.
   
4. Based on the review and discussion referred to in paragraphs (1) through (3) above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for filing with the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

 

Related Person Policy and Procedures

 

Our Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. Our written related party transactions policy is contained in our Code of Business Conduct. The Audit Committee will consider all relevant factors when determining whether to approve a related party transaction, including whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction. No director is permitted to participate in the approval of any transaction in which he or she was a related party, but that director is required to provide the audit committee with all material information concerning the transaction. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete an annual directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that will elicit information about related party transactions.

PROPOSAL 2 –

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF RSM US LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

 

In accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee of our Board has selected RSM, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and our Board is asking stockholders to ratify that appointment. We are not required to have the stockholders approve the selection of RSM as our independent auditor. We nonetheless are doing so because we believe it is a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider the retention of RSM, but ultimately may decide to retain RSM as the Company’s independent auditor. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

On April 23, 2021, the Audit Committee approved the appointment of RSM as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. In connection with this appointment, the Audit Committee approved the dismissal of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), our then-current independent registered public accounting firm. Marcum served as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal years 2020 and 2019.

 

The audit reports of Marcum on our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the two most recent years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and during the subsequent interim period through April 23, 2021: (i) there were no disagreements (within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to Marcum’s satisfaction, would have caused Marcum to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no reportable events (as defined by Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

At the time of its dismissal, we provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures reproduced in this proxy statement and requested that Marcum furnish us with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not Marcum agrees with our statements. A copy of the letter, furnished by Marcum in response to that request, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 29, 2021.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and during the subsequent interim period through April 23, 2021, neither us nor anyone on our behalf has consulted with RSM regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to us that RSM concluded was an important factor considered by us in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing, or financial reporting issue; (ii) any matters that were the subject of a disagreement within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions; or (iii) any reportable event within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

 

Representatives of RSM are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

All Other Fees. Consists of fees for products and services other than the services reported above.

 

Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Principal Accountant Services

The Audit Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees of the Audit Committee consisting of one or more members when appropriate, including the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant pre-approvals shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

 

The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the audit and permitted non-audit services performed in 2022 and 2021.

 

Required Vote of Stockholders

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote at the meeting at which a quorum is present is required to ratify the appointment of RSM.

 

Our Board recommends that you vote FOR the proposal to ratify the appointment of RSM US LLP as the Company’s registered independent public accounting firm for 2023.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS DEADLINE FOR 2024 ANNUAL MEETING

 

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that no business may be brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder unless the stockholder has provided proper notice to us not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that less than 70 days’ notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by a stockholder, to be timely, must be received no later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. Accordingly, assuming our annual meeting for 2024 is scheduled for the first anniversary of our 2023 annual meeting, any stockholder proposals and recommendations for director nominees to be considered at the 2024 annual meeting must be properly submitted to us not earlier than March 14, 2024 nor later than April 15, 2024. Each such written notice must contain the information set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws.

 

These requirements are separate from the SEC’s requirements that a stockholder must meet in order to have a proposal included in our proxy statement. For the 2024 annual meeting, under the SEC’s requirements, any stockholder proposals must be received by Lazydays no later than January 2, 2024, in order to be included in our 2024 proxy statement.

 

In addition to satisfying the above requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide a notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 15, 2024.

 

HOUSEHOLDING; AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL REPORT AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

The SEC permits companies and intermediaries, such as a brokerage firm or a bank, to satisfy the delivery requirements for Notices and proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering only one Notice or set of proxy materials to that address. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” can effectively reduce our printing and postage costs.

 

Our stockholders whose shares are held in street name will receive only one Notice or set of proxy materials per household, unless we receive contrary instructions. If you would like to receive a separate Annual Report, Notice or set of proxy materials in the future, or if your household is currently receiving multiple copies of the same items and you would like to receive only a single copy at your address in the future, please contact Householding Department by mail at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or by telephone at 866-540-7095 and indicate your name, the name of each of your brokerage firms or banks where your shares are held, and your account numbers. We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Annual Report, proxy statement, or Notice, as applicable, to a security holder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

 

If you would like to receive a copy of our Annual Report or this proxy statement, please contact our Investor Relations by mail at Investor Relations, Lazydays Holdings, Inc., 4042 Park Oaks Blvd., Suite 350, Tampa, Florida 33610, by telephone at (813) 204-4099 or by e-mail at investors@lazydays.com, and we will send a copy to you without charge. Please note, however, that if you wish to receive a paper proxy card or other proxy materials for the purpose of the Annual Meeting, you should follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.
