Q:How do I vote?

A:You may vote your shares either at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. To vote by proxy, you should mark, date, sign and mail the proxy card provided with this proxy statement or vote by telephone or through the Internet.

You will be able to participate in the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AGFY2024. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you received. You also will be able to vote your shares electronically prior to or during the Annual Meeting. If you want to submit a question during the Annual Meeting, log into www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AGFY2024, type your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and click “Submit.” Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be read and answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints.

If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting log in page.

Q:Can I vote by telephone or electronically?

A:If you are a registered stockholder, you may vote by telephone, or electronically through the Internet, by following the instructions included with your proxy card. If your shares are held in “street name,” please check your proxy card or contact your broker or nominee to determine whether you will be able to vote by telephone or electronically. The deadline for voting by telephone or electronically is 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on August 11, 2024.

Q:How are votes counted?

A:You may vote for each of the seven proposals as follows:

•“FOR” or “WITHHOLD” with respect to each nominee to our Board of Directors specified in Item 1 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the ratification and approval of the Auditor Appointment described in Item 2 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the Reverse Stock Split described in Item 3 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the Warrant Adjustment Proposal described in Item 4 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the Equity Plan Proposal described in Item 5 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to the Adjournment Proposal described in Item 6 of this proxy statement.

If you return your proxy but do not mark your voting preference, the individuals named as proxies will vote your shares “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director and “FOR” each of Items 2 through 6. Giving a proxy will not affect your right to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting, you may revoke your proxy and vote at the Annual Meeting if you wish.

Q:What happens if I withhold my vote for an individual director?

A:Withheld votes are not included in the vote tally for the election of directors. If you wish your shares to be voted for some nominees, and not voted for others, then indicate the name(s) of the nominee(s) for whom you are withholding authority to vote by writing the name(s) of such nominee(s) in the space provided in the proxy. If you wish to withhold authority to vote for all nominees, check the box marked “WITHHOLD ALL.”

2

Q:What are broker non-votes and abstentions?

A:If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, then the broker, as the record holder of the shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. If you do not give instructions to the broker, then the broker will be entitled to vote the shares with respect to “discretionary” items but will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-discretionary” items (in which case, the shares will be treated a “broker non-vote”). An abstention is a decision by a stockholder to take a neutral position on a proposal being submitted to stockholders at a meeting.

Q:On which proposals do brokers have discretion to vote without instructions from beneficial owners?

A:If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, then the broker, as the record holder of the shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. However, if you do not give instructions to the broker, then the broker will not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to Item 1, the election of directors, or Item 4, the Warrant Adjustment Proposal, Item 5, the Equity Plan Proposal, and Item 6, the Adjournment Proposal. Brokers will be able to vote on the approval of the Item 2, the Auditor Appointment, and Item 3, the Reverse Stock Split, in the absence of your instructions as those matters are considered “discretionary” items.

Q:How do broker non-votes and abstentions affect the existence of a quorum and the vote required for the proposals at the Annual Meeting?

A:Broker non-votes and abstentions on any matter are included in determining the number of shares represented for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at a stockholders’ meeting. Because directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast (i.e., the five director nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected) at the Annual Meeting, an abstention would have no effect on the vote concerning the election of directors and thus is not being offered as a voting option in the election of directors under Item 1. Under Nevada law, broker non-votes are not considered to be entitled to vote on the matter and, thus, will not have any impact on the outcome of Items 4, 5, and 6. Although abstentions are considered present and entitled to vote on a matter, abstentions are not considered to be votes cast under Nevada law, and thus will have no impact on the outcome of Items 4, 5, and 6, each of which requires the favorable vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by stockholders entitled to vote on the matter. Item 3 requires the favorable vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, so any shares not voted (whether by abstention or otherwise) will have the same effect as a vote “against” Item 3. Accordingly, it is important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares on Item 3.

Q:Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

A:Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by filing with the Corporate Secretary either written notice of your revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke a previously granted proxy; however, delivery of a later dated proxy before the polls close at the Annual Meeting will revoke a proxy previously granted.

Q:What are the Board’s recommendations?

A:Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

•“FOR” each of the five nominees to our Board of Directors as described in Item 1 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR” the ratification and approval of the Auditor Appointment as described in Item 2 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR” the approval of the Reverse Stock Split described in Item 3 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR” the approval of the Warrant Adjustment Proposal described in Item 4 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR” the Equity Plan Proposal described in Item 5 of this proxy statement;

•“FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal described in Item 6 of this proxy statement.

3

Q:What constitutes a quorum?

A:As of July 8, 2024, we had 14,230,004 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value, outstanding and 61 holders of record. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. The holders of a majority of the total outstanding shares entitled to vote, present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Q:What happens if a quorum is not present?

A:If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, then the stockholders who are represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of an adjourned meeting, if necessary, would be announced at the time the adjournment is taken and no other notice would be given. Voting cannot take place unless a quorum is present.

Q:What is the voting requirement to approve each of the items?

A:The voting requirement to approve each of the proposals is as follows:

•Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the five nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominees.

•The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the proposal is required to ratify the Auditor Appointment in Item 2.

•The affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding shares of Common Stock is required to approve the Reverse Stock Split in Item 3.

•The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the proposal is required to approve the Warrant Adjustment Proposal in Item 4.

•The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the proposal is required to approve the Equity Plan Proposal in Item 5.

•The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast on the proposal is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal in Item 6.

Q:Can I vote on other matters?

A:Our Amended and Restated Bylaws limit the matters presented at an Annual Meeting to those in a notice of Annual Meeting and those otherwise properly presented at an Annual Meeting. Since none of our stockholders provided notice for any other business matters during the applicable period set forth in our Amended and Restated Bylaws, no matters other than those included in the Notice of Annual Meeting may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Q:Who will count the vote?

A:Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our transfer agent, will tabulate the votes.

ITEM 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors (which is sometimes referred to in this proxy statement as our “Board”) currently consists of Raymond Chang, Max Holtzman, I-Tseng Jenny Chan, Timothy Mahoney and Krishnan Varier. You and the other stockholders are requested to vote for the nominees set forth below to serve as directors until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The individuals named as proxies will vote the enclosed proxy for the election of all nominees listed below, unless you direct them to withhold your votes. If any nominee becomes unable to serve as a director before the Annual Meeting (or decides not to serve), the individuals named as proxies may vote for a substitute or we may reduce the number of members of the Board. There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, individual nominees will be elected by a plurality of the votes of shares present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. This means that the five nominees will be elected if they receive more affirmative votes than any other nominees. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, then the broker, as the record holder of the shares, is required to vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. However, if you do not give instructions to the broker, then the broker will not be entitled to vote the shares with respect to the election of directors.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the following nominees.

Following are the names and ages of the director nominees, the year they became directors, their principal occupations or employment for at least the past five years and certain of their other directorships.

The Board currently consists of five directors. The Board has determined that Max Holtzman, Timothy Mahoney and Krishnan Varier are all “Independent” directors under the Nasdaq listing standards. Leonard Sokolow resigned as a member of the Board on May 17, 2024.

As required by the Nasdaq listing standards, the Board must be composed of a majority of independent directors. The committee charters are reviewed annually and updated as necessary to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and evolving oversight practices.

The Board currently has four standing committees consisting of: the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Audit Committee and the Mergers and Acquisitions Committee. No member of the Audit, Compensation or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is an employee of the Company or its subsidiaries, and all are currently independent as defined by the Nasdaq listing standards. Each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees has a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. The committee charters as well as the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics, which applies to all directors, officers and employees, are available under “Corporate Governance” in the Investor Relations section of our Company’s website at https://ir.agrify.com. Please note that the information contained on the Company website is not incorporated by reference in, or considered to be a part of, this proxy statement.

The Compensation Committee sets performance goals and objectives for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers, evaluates their performance with respect to those goals and sets their compensation based upon the evaluation of their performance. In evaluating executive officer pay, the Compensation Committee has retained the services of a compensation consultant and considers recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer with respect to goals and compensation of the other executive officers. The Compensation Committee assesses the information it receives in accordance with its business judgment. The Compensation Committee also periodically reviews director compensation. All decisions with respect to executive and director compensation are approved by the Compensation Committee and, in the case of director compensation, ratified by the Board.

Audit Committee.The current members of the Audit Committee are directors Varier, who chairs the committee, Holtzman, and Mahoney. Mr. Sokolow resigned from the Audit Committee on May 17, 2024 and Mr. Holtzman joined the Audit Committee on July 9, 2024. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee satisfy the financial literacy requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards and are independent as defined under the Nasdaq listing requirements and applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. In addition, our

Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Varier qualifies as an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as defined under SEC rules. The Audit Committee’s primary responsibility is to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the audits of our Company’s financial statements by our independent registered public accountants. Its duties include, among other things:

•appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating, and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm;

•discussing with our independent registered public accounting firm the independence of its members from our management;

•reviewing with our independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

•approving all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm;

•overseeing the financial reporting process and discussing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the interim and annual financial statements that we file with the SEC;

Mergers and Acquisitions Committee.The current members of the Mergers and Acquisitions Committee are directors Varier, who chairs the committee, Mahoney and Holtzman. The purpose of the Mergers & Acquisitions Committee is to assist the Board and the Audit Committee in evaluating any related party transactions that the Company may consider from time to time.

Number of Meetings of the Board of Directors and Attendance in 2023

During fiscal 2023, our Board and various Board Committees held the following number of meetings: Board of Directors, 12 meetings; Audit Committee, 5 meetings; Compensation Committee, 3 meetings; and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, no meetings. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate Board meetings and Board Committee meetings on which that director served, except for Mr. Hua, who attended 33% of Board meetings.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During 2023, Messrs. Mahoney, Sokolow and Holtzman each served as members of the Compensation Committee. During 2023, no member of the Compensation Committee, was or has ever been one of our officers or an employee of the Company. None of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more of its executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Director Nomination Process

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter, which includes director nomination policies and provisions that are intended to describe the process by which candidates for possible inclusion in the Company’s recommended slate of director nominees are selected. The nomination policies are administered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors does not currently prescribe any minimum qualifications for director candidates. Consistent with the criteria for the selection of directors approved by the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will take into account our current needs and the expertise needed for board service, including experience and achievement in business, finance, technology or other areas relevant to our activities; reputation, ethical character and maturity of judgment; diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds and experiences; absence of conflicts of interest including competitive conflict that might impede the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director; independence under SEC and Nasdaq listing standards; service on other boards of directors; the availability of sufficient time to devote to Board matters; and ability to work effectively and collegially with other Board members. In the case of incumbent directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review such directors’ overall service during their term, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, and quality of performance during their term. For those potential new director candidates who appear upon first consideration to meet the Board’s selection criteria, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will conduct appropriate inquiries into their background and qualifications and, depending on the result of such inquiries, arrange for meetings with the potential candidates. Although the Company does not maintain a separate policy regarding the diversity of the Board, during the director selection process the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does consider issues of diversity, such as occupation, gender, race and origin, when evaluating directors for nomination.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may use multiple sources for identifying director candidates, including its own contacts and referrals from other directors, members of management, the Company’s advisors, and executive search firms. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by stockholders and will evaluate such director candidates in the same manner in which it evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. In making recommendations for director nominees for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider any written recommendations of director candidates by stockholders received by the Corporate Secretary of the Company. Recommendations must include the candidate’s name and contact information and a statement of the candidate’s background and qualifications and must be mailed to Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Agrify Corporation, 2468 Industrial Row Drive, Troy, Michigan 48084, Attn: Corporate Secretary.

The nomination procedures are intended to provide a flexible set of guidelines for the effective functioning of our director nominations process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews periodically the nomination procedures and anticipates that modifications may be necessary from time to time as our needs and circumstances evolve, and as applicable legal or listing standards change. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may amend, with the approval of our Board of Directors, the nomination procedures included in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter and our other governance documents at any time, in which case the most current version will be available on our website at https://ir.agrify.com.

The board diversity matrix for 2023 can be found in our definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2023.

Director Qualifications

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews annually with the Board the composition of the Board as a whole and recommends, if necessary, measures to be taken so that the Board reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise and diversity required for the Board as a whole and contains at least the minimum number of independent directors required by applicable laws and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for ensuring that the composition of the Board accurately reflects the needs of the Company’s business and, in furtherance of this goal, proposing the addition of members and the necessary resignation of members for purposes of achieving this goal. The Committee also considers the nominees’ roles in assisting with development and implementation of the Company’s strategic plan.

The Board of Directors believes that each director nominee brings a strong and unique background and set of skills to the Board, giving the Board as a whole competence and experience in a wide variety of areas, including corporate governance and board service, executive management, private equity, finance, marketing and international business. Set forth below are the particular experiences, qualifications, attributes or skills, which led the Company’s Board of Directors to conclude that each director nominee should serve as a director of the Company.

Mr. Chang, a director since June 2019, is currently the chairman and chief executive officer of the Company. Mr. Chang has a wealth of successful experience directing, managing and/or financing early-stage agricultural- and technology-based companies. Mr. Chang’s entrepreneurial nature and well-developed leadership and financial experience led the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that his skills fit with the needs of the Board of Directors and qualified him to continue to serve as a director of the Company.

Mr. Holtzman, a director since July 2022, is Operations Director at Ocean 14 Capital, a private equity impact fund. Mr. Holtzman’s extensive experience in finance, government relations and international trade led the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that his skills and background fit the needs of the Board of Directors and qualified him to continue to serve as a director of the Company.

Ms. Chan, a director since January 2024, provides the Company with extensive experience in business development and retail sales. Ms. Chan’s experience as an entrepreneur led the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that her skills and background fit the needs of the Board of Directors and qualified her to be a director nominee.

11

Mr. Mahoney, a director since December 2020, through his strategic advisory firm, has worked as an independent consultant assisting management teams and boards of directors through the identification of systemic risk and the development of creative strategies targeted towards maximizing shareholder value. He also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under SEC rules. Mr. Mahoney’s knowledge and experience with the legislative process of Congress and his diverse experience and knowledge in corporate governance led the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that his skills and background fit the needs of the Board of Directors and qualified him to continue to serve as a director of the Company.

Mr. Varier, a director since June 2020, is a managing partner of Arcadian Capital Management, a leader in cannabis venture capital. Mr. Varier has nearly 20 years of experience in corporate finance and investment advisory. He also qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under SEC rules. Mr. Varier’s extensive capital markets experience, knowledge of the cannabis industry, as well as his experience working with cannabis companies as an investor, mentor, advisor and consultant, led the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that his overall experience fits the needs of the Board of Directors and qualified him to continue to serve as a director of the Company.

Leadership Structure

Combining Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Roles.Our Board of Directors is committed to the principle of independence from management and to the highest standards of corporate governance. All of our directors other than Mr. Chang and Ms. Chan are independent under Nasdaq listing rules. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance, Audit and Compensation Committees are currently composed entirely of independent directors. Our Board of Directors has adopted a flexible policy regarding the issue of whether the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. This policy allows the Board to evaluate regularly whether the Company is best served at any particular time by having our Chief Executive Officer or another director hold the position of Chairman.

Currently, the Board believes there are several important advantages to combining the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer is the director most familiar with our business and industry and is most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Company’s independent directors bring experience, oversight, and expertise from outside the Company and industry, while the Chief Executive Officer brings Company-specific experience and expertise. Combining the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman positions creates a firm link between management and the Board, promotes the development and implementation of corporate strategy and facilitates information flow between management and the Board, which are essential to effective governance. The Board currently believes that combining the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer contributes to a more efficient and effective Board, does not undermine the independence of the Board, and has no bearing on the ethical integrity of the directors.

Board of Directors’ Oversight of Risk

Our management bears responsibility for the management and assessment of risk at the Company on a daily basis. Management is also responsible for communicating the most material risks to the Board and its committees, who provide oversight of the risk management practices implemented by management. Our full Board provides oversight for risk management, except for the oversight of risks that have been specifically delegated to a committee. Even when the oversight of a specific area of risk has been delegated to a committee, the full Board may maintain oversight over such risks through the receipt of reports from the committee. In addition, the full Board may assume oversight over a particular risk, even if the risk was initially overseen by a committee, when the Board deems it appropriate. The Board and committee reviews occur principally through the receipt of regular reports from Company management on these areas of risk and discussions with management regarding risk assessment and risk management.

Committees.The Audit Committee maintains initial oversight over risks related to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls, the performance of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and the operation of the Company’s ethics program. The Company’s Compensation Committee maintains initial oversight of risks related to the Company’s compensation practices, including practices related to equity programs, other executive or Company-wide incentive programs and hiring and retention. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to independence of Board members and compliance with SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards with respect to Board and committee composition.

12

Full Board.At its regularly scheduled meetings, the Board generally receives several reports which include information relating to specific risks faced by the Company. As appropriate, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or other members of senior management provide operational reports, which include risks relating to the Company’s business. At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the full Board also receives reports from committee chairpersons, which may include a discussion of risks initially overseen by the committees for discussion and input from the full Board. As noted above, in addition to these regular reports, the Board receives reports on specific areas of risk from time-to-time, such as cyclical or other risks that are not covered in the regular reports given to the Board.

Compensation of Outside Directors

Annual Cash Compensation.Each of the Company’s non-employee directors receives an annual cash retainer of $24,000, payable in twelve monthly installments. In addition, the following Committee retainer amounts are payable to Committee members.

The Audit Committee Chair receives an annual retainer of $5,000 per year, while Audit Committee members are entitled to receive an annual retainer of $1,000. The annual retainers are paid in twelve monthly installments and are in addition to the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors described above.

The Compensation Committee Chair receives an annual retainer of $5,000 per year, while Compensation Committee members are entitled to receive an annual retainer of $1,000. The annual retainers are paid in twelve monthly installments and are in addition to the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors described above.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Chair receives an annual retainer of $5,000 per year, while Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members are entitled to receive an annual retainer of $1,000. The annual retainers are paid in twelve monthly installments and are in addition to the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors described above.

Currently, there are no annual retainer fees awarded to either the Merger and Acquisitions Committee Chair or the Merger and Acquisition Committee members.

Stock Options and Share-Based Awards.    Following initial election to the Company’s Board of Directors, non-employee directors are eligible to receive restricted stock units as determined by the Board.

The Company’s Board and Compensation Committee believe that equity-based awards are essential to our continued success. Equity-based awards are necessary to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified directors to serve Agrify and to improve Agrify’s business results and earnings by providing these individuals an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in Agrify’s operations and future success while further aligning recipient’s interests with those of shareholders.

The Board compensation guidelines described above are designed to (a) compensate Committee members through Committee cash retainers in order to provide compensation commensurate with relevant service level commitments for Committee service and (b) set overall Board compensation at a level that is competitive with market norms, in order to enable the Company to attract potential new directors and provide market-based remuneration for existing directors.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.    We do not provide Non-Equity Incentive Compensation to our directors.

Pension Benefits.We do not have a pension plan and therefore, do not offer any such pension arrangements to our directors.

STOCK OWNERSHIP

Beneficial Ownership of Certain Stockholders, Directors and Executive Officers

The following table provides information, as of July 8, 2024, about the beneficial ownership of our Company’s Common Stock by: (1) the persons known to us to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of our Company’s outstanding Common Stock; (2) our directors; (3) each Named Executive Officer (as defined under “Compensation of Named Executive Officers”); and (4) our directors and executive officers as a group. To the best of our knowledge, each such person has sole voting and investment power over the shares shown in this table, except as otherwise indicated. As of July 8, 2024, there were 61 record holders and 14,234,004 outstanding shares of our Company’s Common Stock.

The number of shares beneficially owned by each stockholder is determined under rules issued by the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has sole or shared voting power or investment power and includes any shares as to which the individual or entity has the right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after July 8, 2024 through the exercise of any warrant, stock option or other right. The inclusion in this proxy statement of such shares, however, does not constitute an admission that the named stockholder is a direct or indirect beneficial owner of such shares. Common stock subject to options or warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days after July 8, 2024, are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding those options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares of Common Stock, except to the extent spouses share authority under community property laws.

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be reserved and available for grant and issuance under the 2022 Omnibus Plan is 260,000 shares. Shares will be deemed to have been issued under the 2022 Omnibus Plan solely to the extent actually issued and delivered pursuant to an award. If any award expires, is cancelled, or terminates unexercised or is forfeited, the number of shares subject thereto is again available for grant under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. The 2022 Omnibus Plan will continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10) anniversary of the date on which it is adopted by the Board of Directors.

Pension Plan Benefits and Defined Contribution Plans

The Company does not have a pension plan or defined benefit plan that provides for payments or benefits to the Named Executive Officers at, following, or in connection with retirement.

Employment and Separation Agreements

The Compensation Committee believes that it is in our best interest as well as the interests of our stockholders to offer severance and change in control benefits to certain of our Named Executive Officers. We compete for talent in a highly competitive market in which companies routinely offer similar benefits to senior executives. The Compensation Committee believes that providing severance and change in control benefits to our Named Executive Officers reduces any reluctance of senior management to pursue potential change in control transactions that may be in the best interests of stockholders. In addition, the income security provided by competitive severance and change in control arrangements helps minimize distractions caused by uncertain personal financial circumstances during the negotiation of a potential change in control transaction, a period of time requiring focused and thoughtful leadership to ensure a successful outcome.

Employment Agreement for Mr.Chang:On January 4, 2021, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Chang as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, effective February 1, 2021 (the “Mr. Chang’s Employment Agreement”). The agreement, at the end of the initial three-year term, automatically renewed for a successive three-year period.

At signing, Mr. Chang’s Employment Agreement established a minimum annual base salary level of $300,000 and provided for a discretionary bonus of $300,000, with payment subject to Mr. Chang being employed by us at this time of payment.

In accordance with the terms of the agreement, if Mr. Chang’s employment is terminated by us without cause, or in connection with a change of control, or by Mr. Chang for good reason, Mr. Chang will be entitled to receive certain severance benefits, including severance pay equal to the greater of (a) 300% of his annual base salary and (b) $1,000,000. Mr. Chang will also be eligible to receive insurance benefits for a period of up to twelve months following his termination of employment. We can terminate Mr. Chang’s employment for cause only if we receive the unanimous agreement of our board of directors.

The agreement, at the end of the initial one-year term, if not terminated by either Mr. Oakes or the Company, would have automatically renewed for successive one-year periods.

Mr. Oakes’ Employment Agreement established a minimum annual base salary level of $250,000 and provided for a discretionary performance-based bonus of $200,000, payable in quarterly $50,000 installment, with payment subject to Mr. Oakes being employed by us at this time of payment. The Board could from time to time elect to pay additional bonuses based on performance that exceeds the mutually agreed upon goals.

Mr. Oakes resigned as Chief Financial Officer effective February 28, 2023.

The potential payouts each Named Executive Officer may be eligible to receive in either instance under their respective employment agreements is calculated based upon the measurement criteria described above.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in its oversight of the integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the qualifications and independence of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (which is also referred to in this document as the independent auditors), and the Company’s internal financial and accounting controls. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, evaluate and replace the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to oversee and review these processes. The Audit Committee is not, however, professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and does not provide any expert or other special assurance as to such financial statements concerning compliance with laws, regulations or generally accepted accounting principles or as to auditor independence. The Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent auditors.

The Audit Committee met five times during 2023. The meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among the Audit Committee, management and the Company’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for its audits. The Audit Committee regularly met privately with the independent auditors, who have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and has discussed them with both management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee also discussed with management and the independent auditors the process used to support certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to accompany the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by applicable standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors its independence from the Company. When considering the auditors’ independence, the Audit Committee considered whether their provision of services to the Company, beyond those rendered in connection with their audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and review of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K, were compatible with maintaining their independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed, among other things, the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditors and approved the amount of fees paid for such services.

Based on the reviews and discussions described above, and subject to the limitations on the Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities referred to above and in the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee concluded that it would be reasonable to recommend, and on that basis did recommend, to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as amended.

The Audit Committee:
Krishnan Varier, Chairman

Max Holtzman

ITEM 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE AUDITOR APPOINTMENT

General

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected Matsuura as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and has further directed that management submit the selection of our accountants for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Matsuura has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since June 25, 2024.

Before selecting Matsuura, the Audit Committee carefully considered the qualifications of Matsuura as independent auditors. This included a review of the qualifications of the engagement team, the quality control procedures the firm has established, and any issues raised by the most recent quality control review of the firm, as well as its reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing. The Audit Committee’s review also included matters required to be considered under the SEC’s rules on auditor independence, including the nature and extent of non-audit services.

We expect representatives of Matsuura to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Selection of our Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or otherwise to be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of our Company for ratification. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work of our independent auditors. If our stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Matsuura, and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to our stockholders. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of our Company and its stockholders.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the ratification of the appointment of Matsuura as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm at our Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of Matsuura. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are included in the number of shares present or represented for purposes of quorum but are not considered as shares voting or as votes cast with respect to any matter presented at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will not have any effect on the proposal to ratify the appointment of Matsuura. If the stockholders do not ratify the selection of Matsuura, the Audit Committee will review the Company’s relationship with Matsuura and take such action as it deems appropriate, which may include continuing to retain Matsuura as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Matsuura.

25

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On June 20, 2024, our Audit Committee dismissed our previous independent registered public accounting firm, Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), effective as of the effective date of our engagement of Matsuura.

Marcum’s audit report dated April 15, 2024 on our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, other than the explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and subsequent interim periods through the date of dismissal, there have been no: (i) “disagreements” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) with Marcum on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements or (ii) “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), except that Marcum concurred with the Company’s assessment of a material weakness related to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

We provided Marcum with a copy of the disclosures required by Item 304(a) contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission and requested that Marcum furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K. A copy of that letter, dated June 24, 2024, furnished by Marcum in response to that request, stating their agreement with such statements is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2024.

Effective June 25, 2024, the Audit Committee appointed Matsuura as our new independent registered public accounting firm. Matsuura’s engagement will be for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 and related interim periods.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and through June 25, 2024, we did not consult Matsuura with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Audit Fees and Non-Audit Services

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by Marcum for professional services rendered during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

Types of Fees	2023		2022
Audit Fees	$	610,000	$	418,695
Audit-Related Fees		34,265		31,003
Tax Fees		—		23,433
Total Fees	$	644,265	$	473,131

In the table above, “Audit Fees” are fees our Company paid to Marcum for professional services rendered connection with the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the review of financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC, or for services that are normally provided by the auditors in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, net of out of pocket expenses; “Audit-Related Fees” are fees billed by Marcum for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our Company’s financial statements (accounting consultations on transaction related matters including work related to our registration statements); and “Tax Fees” are fees billed by Marcum either for corporate income tax return preparation and filing services and/or individual expatriate income tax services and advice.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the approval of all audit and non-audit services that are performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. This policy generally provides that we will not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee or the engagement is entered into pursuant to pre-approval procedures. 100% of the audit services, or audit-related services, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of services for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested. The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the Committee approves the engagement of the independent registered public accountants. On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts.

The Audit Committee considers whether the provisions of these services are compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence, and it determined such services for 2023 and 2022 were compatible.

ITEM 3 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT OF THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO
EFFECT THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

General

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved, and recommended that our stockholders approve, an amendment (the “Certificate of Amendment”) to our Articles of Incorporation, to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of not less than 1-for-2 and not greater than 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with the final decision of whether to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, and the exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion. If the stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split, and the Board of Directors decides to implement it, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time on a date to be determined by the Board of Directors that will be specified in the Certificate of Amendment. If the Board of Directors does not decide to implement the Reverse Stock Split within twelve months from the date of the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the reverse stock split will terminate.

The Reverse Stock Split will be realized simultaneously for all outstanding Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of Common Stock uniformly and each stockholder will hold the same percentage of Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, except for immaterial adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value of our Common Stock and will not reduce the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

The principal reason for the reverse stock split is to increase the per share trading price of our Common Stock in order to help ensure a share price high enough to satisfy the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Rule”), although there can be no assurance that the trading price of our Common Stock would be maintained at such level or that we will be able to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 5, 2024, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on Nasdaq under the Bid Price Rule. We have 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days during this 180-day compliance period, unless Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion to extend this period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). The compliance period for us will expire on September 3, 2024.

The Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to the Company and our stockholders should Nasdaq delist our Common Stock. Delisting from Nasdaq would likely adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities and would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities. Delisting would also likely negatively affect the value and liquidity of our Common Stock because alternatives, such as the OTC Bulletin Board and the pink sheets, are generally considered to be less efficient markets.

We believe that our best option to comply with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement before the end of the compliance period is to effect the Reverse Stock Split to increase the per-share trading price of our Common Stock.

In addition, we believe that the low per share market price of our Common Stock impairs its marketability to and acceptance by institutional investors and other members of the investing public and could create a negative impression of the Company. Theoretically, decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding should not, by itself, affect the marketability of the shares, the type of investor who would be interested in acquiring them, or our reputation in the financial community. In practice, however, many investors, brokerage firms and market makers consider low-priced stocks as unduly speculative in nature and, as a matter of policy, avoid investment and trading in such stocks. Moreover, the analysts at many brokerage firms do not monitor the trading activity or otherwise provide coverage of lower priced stocks. The presence of these factors may be adversely affecting, and may continue to adversely affect, not only the pricing of our Common Stock but also its trading liquidity. In addition, these factors may affect our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of stock.

28

Further, we believe that a higher stock price could help us establish business development relationships with other companies. Theoretically, decreasing the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding should not, by itself, affect our reputation in our business community. In practice, however, we believe that potential business development partners may be less confident in the prospects of a company with a low stock price, and are less likely to enter into business relationships with a company with a low stock price. If the Reverse Stock Split successfully increases the per share price of our Common Stock, we believe this may increase our ability to attract business development partners.

We further believe that a higher stock price could help us attract and retain employees and other service providers. We believe that some potential employees and service providers are less likely to work for a company with a low stock price, regardless of the size of the company’s market capitalization. If the Reverse Stock Split successfully increases the per share price of our Common Stock, we believe this increase will enhance our ability to attract and retain employees and service providers.

We hope that the decrease in the number of shares of our outstanding Common Stock as a consequence of the reverse stock split, and the anticipated increase in the price per share, will encourage greater interest in our Common Stock by the financial community and the investing public, help us attract and retain employees and other service providers, help us raise additional capital through the sale of stock in the future if needed, and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders with respect to those shares presently held by them. However, the possibility also exists that liquidity may be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares which would be outstanding if the Reverse Stock Split is effected, particularly if the price per share of our Common Stock begins a declining trend after the Reverse Stock Split is effected.

The Board of Directors believes that stockholder adoption of a range of Reverse Stock Split ratios (as opposed to adoption of a single reverse stock split ratio or a set of fixed ratios) provides maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of a reverse stock split and, therefore, is in the best interests of the Company. In determining a ratio following the receipt of stockholder adoption, the Board of Directors (or any authorized committee of the Board of Directors) may consider, among other things, factors such as:

•the historical trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock;

•the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding;

•the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our Common Stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our Common Stock;

•the anticipated impact of a particular ratio on our ability to reduce administrative and transactional costs;

•the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq; and

•prevailing general market and economic conditions.

The Board of Directors (or any authorized committee of the Board of Directors) reserves the right to elect to abandon the Reverse Stock Split, notwithstanding stockholder adoption thereof, if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company.

Reverse Stock Split Amendment to the Charter

If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the stockholders and the Board of Directors elects to implement it, the following paragraph shall be added after the last paragraph of Article 3 of the Charter:

“On ________ ___, 20__, at 12:01 a.m. (the “Effective Time”), each _____ (_____) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the holder thereof, be combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), subject to the treatment of fractional share interests as described below. The par value of the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split shall remain $0.001 per share. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the Reverse Stock Split. If the Reverse Stock Split would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, entitle the holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction share of Common Stock to receive a cash payment (the “Fractional Share Payment”) equal to the fraction of which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share of Common Stock on the date of the Effective Time as reported by the Nasdaq Capital Market (as adjusted to

29

give effect to the Reverse Stock Split); provided that, whether or not fractional shares would be issuable as a result of the Reverse Stock Split shall be determined on the basis of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time formerly represented by certificates that the holder is at the time surrendering and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock after the Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificates shall have been reclassified; and (b) with respect to holders of shares of Common Stock in book-entry form in the records of the Corporation’s transfer agent that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, any holder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split (after aggregating all fractional shares), following the Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive the Fractional Share Payment automatically and without any action by the holder. Each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.”

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

If the stockholders approve the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to implement the Reverse Stock Split and the Board of Directors implements the Reverse Stock Split, we will amend the existing provision of Article 3 of our Charter in the manner set forth above.

By approving this amendment, stockholders will approve the combination of any whole number of shares of Common Stock between and including two (2) and twenty (20), with the exact number to be determined by the Board of Directors, into one (1) share. The Certificate of Amendment to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada will include only that number determined by the Board of Directors to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In accordance with these resolutions, the Board of Directors will not implement any amendment providing for a different split ratio.

As explained above, the Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except for immaterial adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below. Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the Company’s continuing obligations under the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Following the Reverse Stock Split, our Common Stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, under the symbol “AGFY,” although it would receive a new CUSIP number.

Upon effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of Common Stock that are not issued or outstanding will increase substantially, because the proposed amendment will not reduce the number of authorized shares, while it will reduce the number of outstanding shares by a factor of between and including two (2) and twenty (20), depending on the exchange ratio selected by the Board of Directors.

The shares that are authorized but unissued after the Reverse Stock Split will be available for issuance, and, if we issue these shares, the ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock may be diluted. We may issue such shares to raise capital and/or as consideration in acquiring other businesses or establishing strategic relationships with other companies. Such acquisitions or strategic relationships may be effected using shares of Common Stock or other securities convertible into Common Stock and/or by using capital that may need to be raised by selling such securities. We do not have any agreement, arrangement or understanding at this time with respect to any specific transaction for which the newly unissued authorized shares would be issued.

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the Company’s stockholders, and if at such time the Board of Directors still believes that a Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Board of Directors will determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be implemented. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time on the date specified in the Certificate of Amendment as filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The Board of Directors will determine the exact timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment based on its evaluation as to when the filing would be the most advantageous to the

30

Company and its stockholders. If the Board of Directors does not decide to implement the Reverse Stock Split within twelve months from the date of the Annual Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the Reverse Stock Split will terminate.

Except as described below under the section titled “Fractional Shares,” at the effective time, each whole number of issued and outstanding pre-reverse split shares that the Board of Directors has determined will be combined into one post-reverse split share, will, automatically and without any further action on the part of our stockholders, be combined into and become one share of Common Stock, and each certificate which, immediately prior to the effective time represented pre-reverse stock split shares, will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-reverse split shares.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, each stockholder will be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of such fractional share. The cash payment to be paid will be equal to the fraction of a share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price per share of common stock on the date of the Effective Time as reported by Nasdaq (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split). No transaction costs would be assessed to stockholders for the cash payment. Stockholders would not be entitled to receive interest for their fractional shares for the period of time between the Effective Time and the date payment is issued or received. Each holder of Common Stock will hold the same percentage of the outstanding Common Stock immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as that stockholder did immediately before the Reverse Stock Split, except for adjustments due to fraction shares.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

We cannot predict whether the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price for our Common Stock. The history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied, and the market price of our Common Stock will also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Further, there are a number of risks associated with the Reverse Stock Split, including:

•The market price per share of our shares of Common Stock post-Reverse Stock Split may not remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price per share as required by Nasdaq, or the Company may fail to meet the other requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, resulting in the delisting of our Common Stock.

•Although the Board of Directors believes that a higher stock price may help generate the interest of new investors, the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a per-share price that will successfully attract certain types of investors and such resulting share price may not satisfy the investing guidelines of institutional investors or investment funds. Further, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business, may adversely affect the interest of new investors in the shares of our Common Stock. As a result, the trading liquidity of the shares of our Common Stock may not improve as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and there can be no assurance that the Reverse Stock Split, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above.

•The Reverse Stock Split could be viewed negatively by the market and other factors, such as those described above, may adversely affect the market price of the shares of our Common Stock. Consequently, the market price per post-Reverse Stock Split shares may not increase in proportion to the reduction of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split. Any reduction in total market capitalization as the result of the Reverse Stock Split may make it more difficult for us to meet the Nasdaq Listing Rule regarding minimum value of listed securities, which could result in our shares of Common Stock being delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

•The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of Common Stock. Odd lot shares may be more difficult to sell, and brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd lots are generally somewhat higher than the costs of transactions in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

31

Book-Entry Shares

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, stockholders who hold uncertificated shares (i.e., shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical stock certificate), either as direct or beneficial owners, will have their holdings electronically adjusted automatically by our transfer agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold uncertificated shares as direct owners will be sent a statement of holding from our transfer agent that indicates the number of post-reverse stock split shares of our Common Stock owned in book-entry form.

Certificated Shares

As soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Stock Split has been effected. We expect that our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us or our exchange agent. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Any pre-split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-split shares.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Principal Effects of Reverse Stock Split on Outstanding Options, Restricted Stock Units, Warrants, ESPP, and Option Plan

As of the Record Date, there were outstanding stock options to purchase an aggregate of 10,026 shares of our Common Stock with a weighted average exercise price of $957.82 per share, restricted stock units to purchase an aggregate of 1,827 shares of our Common Stock, and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,876,712 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $0.001 per share. When the Reverse Stock Split becomes effective, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such rights will be reduced to between and including one-half and one-tenth the number currently covered, and the exercise or conversion price per share will be increased by between and including two and twenty times the current exercise or conversion price, resulting in the same aggregate price being required to be paid therefor upon exercise or conversion thereof as was required immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split.

In addition, the number of shares of Common Stock and number of shares of Common Stock subject to stock options or similar rights authorized under the Company’s equity incentive plan and employee stock purchase plan will be proportionately adjusted by the Compensation Committee for the reverse stock split ratio, such that fewer shares will be subject to such plans. Further, the Compensation Committee will proportionately adjust the per share exercise price under such plans to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the Common Stock capital account on our balance sheet. However, because the par value of our Common Stock will remain unchanged at the effective time of the split, the components that make up the Common Stock capital account will change by offsetting amounts. Depending on the size of the Reverse Stock Split the Board of Directors decides to implement, the stated capital component will be reduced proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split and the additional paid-in capital component will be increased with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, the per share net income or loss and net book value of our Common Stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. All historic share and per share amounts in our financial statements and related footnotes will be adjusted accordingly for the Reverse Stock Split.

32

Effect on Par Value

The proposed amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation will not affect the par value of our common stock, which will remain at $0.001 per share.

No Going Private Transaction

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the proposed Reverse Stock Split, our Board of Directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

No Dissenters’ Appraisal Rights

Under Nevada Revised Statutes, the Company’s stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ appraisal rights with respect to the Reverse Stock Split, and the Company will not independently provide stockholders with any such right.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is not intended as tax or legal advice. Each holder should seek advice based on his, her or its particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split generally applicable to beneficial holders of shares of our Common Stock but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. This summary addresses only such stockholders who hold their pre-reverse stock split shares as capital assets and will hold the post-reverse stock split shares as capital assets. This discussion does not address all United States federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to particular stockholders in light of their individual circumstances or to stockholders that are, insurance companies, dealers in securities, and foreign stockholders. The following summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings, as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. Tax consequences under state, local, foreign, and other laws are not addressed herein. Each stockholder should consult its tax advisor as to the particular facts and circumstances which may be unique to such stockholder and also as to any estate, gift, state, local or foreign tax considerations arising out of the Reverse Stock Split.

This discussion is limited to holders of our Common Stock that are U.S. Holders. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as:

•an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

•an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

•a trust if either a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more United States persons (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust, or the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Furthermore, the following discussion does not address any tax consequences of transactions effectuated before, after or at the same time as the Reverse Stock Split, whether or not they are in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

Exchange Pursuant to Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split should constitute a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. No gain or loss will be recognized by a stockholder upon such stockholder’s exchange of pre-reverse stock split shares for post-reverse stock split shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-reverse stock split shares received in the Reverse Stock Split, will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-reverse stock split

33

shares exchanged therefor, and the holding period of the post-reverse stock split shares will include the holding period of the pre-reverse stock split shares. Treasury Regulations provide detailed rules for allocating the tax basis and holding period of the shares of our Common Stock surrendered to the shares of our Common Stock received in a recapitalization pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. U.S. Holders of shares of our Common Stock acquired on different dates and at different prices should consult their tax advisors regarding the allocation of the tax basis and holding period of such shares.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our Common Stock.

Reservation of Right to Abandon Reverse Stock Split

We reserve the right to not file the Certificate of Amendment and to abandon any reverse stock split without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada of the Certificate of Amendment, even if the authority to effect these amendments is approved by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. By voting in favor of a reverse stock split, you are expressly also authorizing the Board of Directors to delay, not proceed with, and abandon, these proposed amendments if it should so decide, in its sole discretion, that such action is in the best interests of our stockholders.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will be required to approve the proposed Charter Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split with the final decision of whether to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, and the exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion. Any shares not voted (whether by abstention or otherwise) will have the same effect as a vote “against” Item 3. Accordingly, it is important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote their shares on Item 3.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Charter Amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split with the final decision of whether to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, and the exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be determined by the Board of Directors, in its discretion.

ITEM 4 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING THE WARRANTS UPON CERTAIN EQUITY ISSUANCES

General

We are asking stockholders to approve a future amendment to our pre-funded warrants that are currently exercisable for up to 15,259,765 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to increase in the number of shares of Common Stock underlying those warrants under certain circumstances, as described in more detail below.

On January 25, 2024, following stockholder approval at an annual meeting of stockholders on January 8, 2024, we and CP Acquisitions LLC, an affiliate of Raymond Chang and I-Tseng Jenny Chan (“CP Acquisitions”), consolidated the outstanding principal and interest due under a junior secured note and an exchange note (the “Previous Notes”) into a Senior Secured Amended, Restated and Consolidated Convertible Note (as amended, the “CP Note”), with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $18.9 million at the time of issuance. Immediately following the execution of the CP Note, CP immediately elected to convert approximately $3.9 million of outstanding principal into an aggregate of 2,671,633shares of common stock, and assigned its rights to receive such shares to entities affiliated with Mr. Chang and Ms. Chan. Following the conversion, there was $15.0 million in principal amount outstanding under the CP Note. On May 21, 2024, we and CP Acquisitions entered into an amendment to the CP Note, pursuant to which CP may elect, in lieu of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the CP Senior Secured Note, to instead receive Pre-Funded Warrants. The conversion price applicable to the Pre-Funded Warrants remained unchanged at $1.46.

On July 12, 2023, we issued an unsecured promissory note to GIC Acquisition LLC (“GIC”), an entity that is indirectly owned and managed by Raymond Chang, and on October 27, 2023, we and GIC amended and restated the GIC Note to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2023, and to grant a security interest in our assets that ranks junior to the CP Senior Secured Note (the “GIC Note”). On January 25, 2024, we and GIC amended and restated the GIC Note to increase the principal amount thereunder to $1.0 million and to extend the maturity date until June 30, 2024. On May 21, 2024, we and GIC amended and restated the GIC Note to increase the aggregate principal amount to approximately $2.29 million, extend the maturity date to December 31, 2025, and provide that the GIC Note may be converted into Common Stock or, at GIC’s election, Pre-Funded Warrants, in each case at a conversion price of $0.31.

Immediately following the execution of the amendment to the CP Note, CP elected to convert $11.5 million of outstanding principal into a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable at issuance for up to 7,876,712shares of Common Stock (the “CP Warrants”). Immediately following the execution of the GIC Note, GIC elected to convert all of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the GIC Note into a Pre-Funded Warrant exercisable at issuance for up to 7,383,053shares of Common Stock (the “GIC Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants included an Adjustment Provision (as described below), subject to stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635.

On June 30, 2024, we and CP entered into an amendment to the CP Warrants (the “CP Warrant Amendment”). The CP Warrant Amendment amended the CP Warrants to (i) remove the Adjustment Provision and (ii) increase the threshold for a change of control, for purposes of determining whether a Fundamental Transaction has occurred (as such term is defined in the CP Warrants), from 50% of our outstanding common stock as originally provided in the CP Warrant to greater than 50% of our outstanding common stock.

On June 30, 2024, we and GIC entered into an amendment to the GIC Warrants (the “GIC Warrant Amendment”). The GIC Warrant Amendment amended the GIC Warrants to (i) remove the Adjustment Provision and (ii) increase the threshold for a change of control, for purposes of determining whether a Fundamental Transaction has occurred (as such term is defined in the GIC Warrants), from 50% of our outstanding common stock as originally provided in the GIC Warrant to greater than 50% of our outstanding common stock.

Description of Pre-Funded Warrants

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, became exercisable upon issuance, will expire when the applicable warrant is exercised in full, and are exercisable on a cash basis or, if there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the underlying shares of common stock, on a cashless exercise basis at CP’s discretion.

35

Subject to the approval of this Item 4 at the Annual Meeting, at a future date prior to our next annual meeting of stockholders, we may amend the Pre-Funded Warrants to provide that each time we consummate any bona fide equity financing with the primary purpose of raising capital, then the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants will be increased (the “Adjustment Provision”) to an amount equal to (i) the amount of the CP Note or GIC Note, as applicable, that was originally converted into the applicable Pre-Funded Warrants divided by (ii) the purchase or conversion price in the equity financing transaction, subject to proportional adjustment in the event the Pre-Funded Warrant has been partially exercised.

The foregoing summaries of the form of the amendment to the CP Note, the Pre-Funded Warrant, the GIC Note, the CP Warrant Amendment and the GIC Warrant Amendment do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to copies of those documents, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 22, 2024 and Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on July 3, 2024, respectively, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Purpose of Item 4

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Stock Market and trades under the ticker symbol “AGFY”. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval of transactions other than public offerings of greater than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock or voting power of the issuer prior to the offering at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the Nasdaq Official Closing Price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, or (ii) the average Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. Additionally, Nasdaq Rule 5635(c) requires stockholder approval of securities issuances to officers, directors, employees or consultants where, among other things, the purchase price is less than the consolidated closing bid price immediately preceding the time the issuer enters into a binding agreement to issue the securities (the “Minimum Price”)

The conversion price used for the partial conversion of the CP Note for Pre-Funded Warrants was equal to the Minimum Price at the time the definitive agreement relating to the CP Note was executed, and the conversion price used for the partial conversion of the GIC Note for Pre-Funded Warrants was equal to the Minimum Price at the time the definitive agreement relating to the GIC Note was executed. However, in the future, if the Company amends the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Adjustment Provision, as described above, could result in a larger number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants, which would effectively reduce the conversion price under the CP Note and the GIC Note to an amount that is lower than the applicable Minimum Price. Therefore, to comply with Rules 5635(c) and 5635(d), we are seeking shareholder approval to permit the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants pursuant to any future amendment of the Pre-Funded Warrants that will include the Adjustment Provision in the event we undertake any transaction that results in the application of that provision.

Potential Consequences if Item 4 is Not Approved

The Board of Directors is not seeking the approval of our stockholders to authorize the issuance of the CP Note, the GIC Note or the Pre-Funded Warrants, as amended, as that has already occurred. The failure of our stockholders to approve this Item 4 will mean that the Pre-Funded Warrants will not be able to be amended to include the Adjustment Provision, and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants will remain the same in the event of a future equity financing.

Potential Adverse Effects of Item 4

If this Item 4 is approved, existing stockholders will suffer dilution in their ownership interests in the future as a result of the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The sale into the public market of these shares also could materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Interests of Certain Persons

Raymond Chang, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a member of our Board of Directors, and I-Tseng Jenny Chan, a member of our Board of Directors, have a substantial interest in this Item 4, due to their shared ownership and control of CP and Mr. Chang’s ownership and control of GIC.

36

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter will be required to approve the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants upon an amendment and the occurrence of certain equity issuances. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of an amendment to the Pre-Funded Warrants to increase the number of shares of Common Stock underlying those warrants upon the occurrence of certain equity issuances.

ITEM 5 — APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE 2022 OMNIBUS EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

General

We are proposing that our stockholders approve the amendment of the Agrify Corporation 2022 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2022 Omnibus Plan” and such amendment, the “Plan Amendment”) to increase by 2,500,000 shares the number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. Our Board of Directors believes that our continued growth and success depends, in large part, on our ability to maintain a competitive position by attracting, retaining and motivating key employees with experience and ability, which is vital to our future success, and to align our employees’ compensation with building shareholder value. Our 2022 Omnibus Plan is an integral part of this strategy. We currently have 58,158 shares available under our 2022 Omnibus Plan, thus potentially impairing our ability to attract and retain key employees through the grant of stock-based awards. The 2022 Omnibus Plan is designed to attract, motivate and retain employees, directors and consultants and to further our growth and financial success by aligning the interests of those persons through ownership with the interests of our stockholders.

The 2022 Omnibus Plan currently authorizes the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards to our officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. On July 8, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the Plan Amendment, subject to stockholder approval.

Our Board of Directors believes that the proposed amendment of the 2022 Omnibus Plan is in the best interests of, and will provide long-term advantages to, us and our stockholders and recommends the approval by our stockholders of the Plan Amendment. Stock options and other stock-based incentive awards are given to our employees, officers, directors and consultants upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts we largely depend for the successful conduct of our business. These incentives provide our employees, consultants and directors with a pecuniary interest in our Company, thereby stimulating their commitment on our behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with us. Our Board of Directors anticipates that this direct stake in our future success also assures a closer alignment of the interests of employees with those of our stockholders.

If we cannot increase the amount of shares of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to the Plan Amendment, it could have a negative impact on our ability to retain and attract Board members.

Accordingly, we are seeking stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment. In the event that the Plan Amendment is not approved by stockholders, the 2022 Omnibus Plan will continue in effect without the amendment described above.

As of July 8, 2024: (i) 58,158 shares of our Common Stock remained available for future awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, (ii) 10,026 shares of our Common Stock were subject to outstanding options under the 2022 Omnibus Plan (with the outstanding options having a weighted average exercise price of $957.82 per share and a weighted average term to scheduled expiration of 6.1 years), and (iii) 1,827 shares of our Common Stock were subject to unvested restricted stock units. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, our board of directors approved the grant of options to purchase 0 shares of Common Stock and the grant of 2,248,493 restricted stock units under the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

Based solely on the closing price of our Common Stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on July 11, 2024, the maximum aggregate market value of the 2,248,493 additional shares that could potentially be issued under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, assuming the Plan Amendment is approved, is approximately $720,000. The shares available for issuance by us under the 2022 Omnibus Plan will be authorized but unissued shares.

2022 Omnibus Plan Highlights

Some of the key features of the 2022 Omnibus Plan, as proposed to be amended by the Plan Amendment, that reflect Agrify’s commitment to effective management of incentive compensation are as follows:

•Plan Limits.    Total awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan in general are limited to a maximum of 2,760,000 authorized shares of Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any award granted under the Agrify Corporation 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Omnibus Plan”) that expires, terminates or is canceled or forfeited under the terms of the 2020 Omnibus Plan.

38

•No Liberal Share Recycling on Stock Options or SARs.    The 2022 Omnibus Plan provides that only shares covering awards that are canceled, forfeited or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to which the award is related will again be available for issuance under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. The following shares will not be added back to the aggregate plan limit: (i) shares tendered in payment of the exercise price for an option, (ii) shares we withhold to satisfy tax withholding obligations (other than with respect to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit awards or Performance Share Awards), and (iii) stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) that are settled in stock.

•No Repricing or Cash Buyouts.    Stock option and SAR repricing (including reducing the exercise price of stock options or replacing an award with cash or another award type) is prohibited without stockholder approval under the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

•No Dividends on Unvested Restricted Shares or RSUs.    Under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, holders of unvested Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units will not have any rights to receive dividends with respect to such Awards.

•Minimum Vesting Period.    Generally, all awards will have a minimum vesting period of at least one year, subject to an exception of 5% of the aggregate shares authorized for grant under the 2022 Omnibus Plan and certain other limited exceptions as described below and in the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

•Awards Subject to Forfeiture or Clawback.    Awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan will be subject to clawback in certain circumstances as well as any other forfeiture and penalty conditions determined by the Compensation Committee in the Company’s clawback policy.

•No Automatic “Single Trigger” Vesting.    The 2022 Omnibus Plan does not contain an automatic single-trigger vesting provision that would accelerate awards solely upon a change-in-control (as defined in the 2022 Omnibus Plan).

Description of the 2022 Omnibus Plan

A description of the provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan, as proposed to be amended by the Plan Amendment, is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed provisions of the amended 2022 Omnibus Plan. A copy of the 2022 Omnibus Plan, with the proposed amendments marked, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with this proxy statement and is attached hereto as Appendix A. Any stockholder who wishes to obtain a printed copy of the 2022 Omnibus Plan may do so by written request to the Secretary at our principal executive offices set forth above.

Administration

The 2022 Omnibus Plan will be administered by a committee (the “Plan Committee”), which shall consist of two (2) or more members of our Board appointed by our Board or such other committee of our Board to which it has properly delegated power, or if no such Plan Committee or subcommittee exists, our Board. To the extent required by applicable law, rule, or regulation, it is intended that each member of the Plan Committee shall qualify as (a) a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3, and (b) an “independent director” under the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association, as applicable.

The Plan Committee is authorized to, among other things: (a) interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in and/or supply any omission in the 2022 Omnibus Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or any award granted under, the 2022 Omnibus Plan (each, an “Award”); (b) promulgate, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 2022 Omnibus Plan; (c) adopt sub-plans; and (d) to make any other determination and take any other action that the Plan Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2022 Omnibus Plan. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law regulations, the Plan Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one (1) or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the 2022 Omnibus Plan, all determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the 2022 Omnibus Plan or any Award or any documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant to the 2022 Omnibus Plan are within the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, may be made at any time and

39

are final, conclusive, and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, Agrify, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any of our stockholders. The Plan Committee may make grants of the following Awards to Eligible Persons (defined below) pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, including, subjecting such Awards to performance goals listed in the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

•Stock Option Awards

•Stock Appreciation Right Awards

•Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Awards

•Performance Share Awards

•Other Stock-Based Awards and Cash-Based Awards

Eligible Shares

The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan shall be equal to 2,760,000 shares of Common Stock, plus (b) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any award granted under the 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan that expires, terminates or is canceled or forfeited under the terms of the 2020 Omnibus Plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which incentive stock options may be granted under the Plan shall be equal to the maximum number of shares issuable under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. If any Option, Stock Appreciation Right, or Other Stock-Based Awards granted under the Plan expires, terminates, or is canceled for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any unexercised Award shall again be available for the purpose of Awards under the Plan. If any shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Share Awards, or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock awarded under the Plan to a Participant are forfeited for any reason, the number of forfeited shares of Restricted Stock, Performance Share Awards, or Other Stock-Based Awards denominated in shares of Common Stock shall again be available for purposes of Awards under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock subject to an Award shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an Option, (b) shares delivered or withheld by Agrify to satisfy any tax withholding obligation (other than with respect to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Awards, in which case such shares will again be available for issuance), or (c) shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award. Any Award under the Plan settled in cash shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations. No shares have yet been issued nor Awards granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

Eligible Participants

Any employee of Agrify or any of its affiliates, any director, or person who is a consultant to Agrify, or any individuals designated by the Plan Committee who are reasonably expected to become employees, consultants, or directors after the receipt of Awards (each, an “Eligible Person”) shall be permitted to participate (a “Participant”) under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. Only Eligible Persons who are also employees of Agrify or its affiliates are eligible to receive incentive stock options under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. Eligibility for the grant of an incentive stock option and actual participation in the 2022 Omnibus Plan shall be determined by the Plan Committee in its sole discretion.

Options

The holder of an option will be entitled to purchase a number of our shares of Common Stock at a specified exercise price during a specified time period, all as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Plan Committee may grant non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options (“Options”) to Eligible Persons. All Options granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan are required to have a per share exercise price that is not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of Agrify’s Common Stock underlying such stock options on the date such Options are granted (other than in the case of Options that are substitute Awards). The maximum term for Options granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan will be ten (10) years from the initial date of grant. The purchase price for the shares as to which an Option is exercised may be paid, to the extent permitted by law, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised or (b) in the discretion of the Plan Committee, upon such terms as the Plan Committee shall approve, including: (i) by delivery to Agrify of other Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to

40

Agrify, with a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the Option exercise price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant identifies for delivery specific shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate fair market value on the date of attestation equal to the Option exercise price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation shares of Common Stock; (ii) a “cashless” exercise program established with a broker; (iii) by reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a fair market value equal to the aggregate Option exercise price at the time of exercise; (iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Plan Committee.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Plan Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the 2022 Omnibus Plan. The Plan Committee may award Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem with Options or independent of any Option. Generally, each Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the participant upon exercise to an amount (in cash, shares, or a combination of cash and shares, as determined by the Plan Committee) equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of Common Stock, over (B) the exercise price per share, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Stock Appreciation Right. The exercise price per share of a Stock Appreciation Right will be determined by the Plan Committee at the time of grant, but in no event may such amount be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Plan Committee may grant restricted shares of our Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or restricted stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”), representing the right to receive, upon vesting and the expiration of any applicable restricted period, one (1) share of Common Stock for each Restricted Stock Unit or, in the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, the cash value thereof (or any combination thereof). As to Restricted Stock, subject to the other provisions of the 2022 Omnibus Plan, the holder will generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such Restricted Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such Restricted Stock, but the holder will not have the right to receive dividends on any unvested shares of Restricted Stock. Participants have no rights or privileges as a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock Units.

Performance Share Awards

The Plan Committee may grant Performance Share Awards to a Participant payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals. Each Performance Share Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form that is not inconsistent with the 2022 Omnibus Plan and that the Plan Committee may from time to time approve.

Other Equity-Based and Cash-Based Awards

The Plan Committee may grant other equity-based or cash-based Awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan, with terms and conditions determined by the Plan Committee that are not inconsistent with the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions and Events

In the event of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the grant date of any Award, Awards granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of options and SARs, the performance goals to which Performance Share Award and cash-based awards are subject, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all awards will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of the award.

In connection with any Change in Control of Agrify (as such term is defined in the 2022 Omnibus Plan, a “Change in Control”), the Plan Committee may, in its sole discretion, cause any Award either (i) to be canceled in consideration of a payment in cash or other consideration in amount per share equal to the excess, if any, of the price

41

or implied price per share of Common Stock in the Change of Control over the per share exercise, base or purchase price of such Award, which may be paid immediately or over the vesting schedule of the Award; (ii) to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefore, by the surviving corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such surviving corporation following the applicable Change of Control; (iii) accelerate any time periods, or waive any other conditions, relating to the vesting, exercise, payment or distribution of an Award so that any Award to a Participant whose employment has been terminated as a result of a Change of Control may be vested, exercised, paid or distributed in full on or before a date fixed by the Plan Committee; (iv) to be purchased from a Participant whose employment has been terminated as a result of a Change of Control, upon the Participant’s request, for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise, payment or distribution of such rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable; or (v) terminate any then outstanding Award or make any other adjustment to the Awards then outstanding as the Plan Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect such transaction or change.

Nontransferability of Awards

Each Award will not be transferable or assignable by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance will be void and unenforceable against us or any of our subsidiaries. However, the Plan Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, that a non-qualified stock option may be transferred to a family member, or to certain trusts or foundations or other transferees as permitted by the Plan Committee (“Permitted Transferee”). A non-qualified stock option that is transferred to a Permitted Transferee will remain subject to the terms of the 2022 Omnibus Plan and the applicable Award Agreement.

Minimum Vesting Requirements

No award will be granted with a lapse of any vesting obligations earlier than at least one year following the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Committee may grant up to a maximum of five percent of the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 2022 Omnibus Plan (subject to certain equitable adjustments), without regard to this minimum vesting requirement, and the minimum vesting requirement does not apply to (i) any substitute awards (as defined in the plan), (ii) shares delivered in lieu of fully vested cash awards, (iii) awards to directors, and (iv) the Plan Committee’s discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any award, including in cases of retirement, death, disability or a change-in-control, in the terms of the award or otherwise.

Clawback and Recoupment

Awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan will be subject to recovery or “clawback” by us if and to the extent that the vesting of such awards was determined or calculated based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other material inaccurate performance metric criteria, and if the Company or any of its subsidiaries terminate a participant’s service relationship due to the grantee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, which conduct, directly or indirectly, results in the Company preparing an accounting restatement. Awards will also be subject to our clawback policy as adopted by the Board of Directors.

Amendment and Termination

Our Board may amend the 2022 Omnibus Plan at any time, subject to shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or the listing standards of Nasdaq or any other market or stock exchange on which the Common Stock is at the time primarily traded. Additionally, shareholder approval will be specifically required to decrease the exercise price of any outstanding Option or SAR granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. Our Board may terminate the 2022 Omnibus Plan at any time. Unless sooner terminated by our Board, the 2022 Omnibus Plan will terminate on the ten (10) year anniversary of Board approval of the 2022 Omnibus Plan.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code

As a general rule, we will be entitled to a deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the compensation income is received by the participant, except to the extent the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply. Section 162(m) of the Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to any “covered employee” in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to such covered employee exceeds $1,000,000. It is possible that compensation attributable to awards under the 2022 Omnibus Plan may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any particular year.

42

Federal Income Tax Consequences

This section provides a summary of the federal income tax (and to some extent, estate tax) consequences that would accrue to Agrify and the grantee under current tax laws. Such laws and their interpretation by the Internal Revenue Service are subject to change. The general consequences described in this summary may not apply in unusual situations.

Non-Qualified Options.    The grant of an Option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or Agrify. Upon exercising a non-qualified stock option, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. Upon a subsequent sale or exchange of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the grantee will recognize taxable capital gain or loss, measured by the excess of the amount realized on the disposition over the tax basis of the shares of Common Stock (generally, the amount paid for the shares plus the amount treated as ordinary income at the time the option was exercised).

If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

A grantee who has transferred a non-qualified stock option to a family member by gift will realize taxable income at the time the non-qualified stock option is exercised by the family member. The grantee will be subject to withholding of income and employment taxes at that time. The family member’s tax basis in the shares of Common Stock will be the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date the option is exercised. The transfer of vested non-qualified stock options will be treated as a completed gift for gift and estate tax purposes. Once the gift is completed, neither the transferred Options nor the shares acquired on exercise of the transferred Options will be includable in the grantee’s estate for estate tax purposes.

Incentive Stock Options.The grant of an Option will not be a taxable event for the grantee or for Agrify. A grantee will not recognize taxable income upon exercise of an incentive stock option (except that the alternative minimum tax may apply), and any gain realized upon a disposition of our Common Stock received pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option will be taxed as long-term capital gain if the grantee holds the shares of Common Stock for at least two years after the date of grant and for one year after the date of exercise (the “holding period requirement”). We will not be entitled to any business expense deduction with respect to the exercise of an incentive stock option, except as discussed below.

For the exercise of an Option to qualify for the foregoing tax treatment, the grantee generally must be our employee or an employee of our subsidiary from the date the Option is granted through a date within three months before the date of exercise of the Option.

If all of the foregoing requirements are met except the holding period requirement mentioned above, the grantee will recognize ordinary income upon the disposition of the Common Stock in an amount generally equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the time the Option was exercised over the Option exercise price (but not in excess of the gain realized on the sale). The balance of the realized gain, if any, will be capital gain. We will be allowed a business expense deduction to the extent the grantee recognizes ordinary income, subject to our compliance with Section 162(m) and to certain reporting requirements.

Restricted Stock.A grantee who is awarded Restricted Stock will not recognize any taxable income for federal income tax purposes in the year of the Award, provided that the shares of Common Stock are subject to restrictions (that is, the Restricted Stock is nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture). However, the grantee may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize compensation income in the year of the Award in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of the Award (less the purchase price, if any), determined without regard to the restrictions (except any restrictions that will never lapse). If the grantee does not make such a Section 83(b) election, the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the restrictions lapse (less the purchase price, if any) will be treated as compensation income to the grantee and will be taxable in the year the restrictions lapse and dividends paid while the Common Stock is subject to restrictions will be subject to withholding taxes. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

43

Restricted Stock Units.There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of Restricted Stock Units under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. A grantee who is awarded Restricted Stock Units will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of shares issued to such grantee at the end of the restriction period or, if later, the payment date. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Stock Appreciation Rights.There are no immediate tax consequences of receiving an award of SARs under the 2022 Omnibus Plan. Upon exercising an SAR, a grantee will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise. If we comply with applicable reporting requirements and with the restrictions of Section 162(m), we will be entitled to a business expense deduction in the same amount and generally at the same time as the grantee recognizes ordinary income.

Performance Share Awards, Other Stock-Based Awards, and Cash-Based Awards.    The tax treatment with respect to Performance Share Awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards will depend on the structure of such awards.

Section 409A.We intend for awards granted under the plan to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent a grantee would be subject to the additional 20% tax imposed on certain nonqualified deferred compensation plans as a result of a provision of an award under the plan, the provision will be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to avoid application of the 20% additional tax.

New Plan Benefits

On November 28, 2023 and April 24, 2024, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors approved grants of an aggregate of 2,248,493 Restricted Stock Units under the Omnibus 2022 Plan to employees in connection with voluntary salary reductions agreed to by those employees, which are contingent on approval of the Plan Amendment by our stockholders (the “Contingent Grants”). The Contingent Grants will vest on the one-year anniversary of grant, subject to shareholder approval, except with respect to a portion of the Contingent Grants granted to directors on November 28, 2023, which will vest immediately upon shareholder approval. The table below provides additional information with respect to the Contingent Grants. Other than the Contingent Grants, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the 2022 Omnibus Plan because awards to be granted under the 2022 Omnibus Plan are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter will be required to approve the proposed amendment to the 2022 Omnibus Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder by 2,500,000. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the amendment to the 2022 Omnibus Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder by 2,500,000.

ITEM 6 — APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE ANNUAL MEETING IN ORDER TO
SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES

Background of and Rationale for the Adjournment Proposal

Our Board of Directors believes that, if the number of affirmative votes received from the holders of our Common Stock are insufficient to approve any of the other Items being considered at the Annual Meeting, it is in the best interests of the stockholders to enable the Board to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional affirmative votes to approve that Item.

In this Item 6, we are asking stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Board to vote in favor of adjourning the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. If our stockholders approve this proposal, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting, and any adjourned session of the Annual Meeting, to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the other applicable Items.

Additionally, approval of the Adjournment Proposal could mean that, in the event we receive proxies indicating that a majority of the voting power of the outstanding voting stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon have voted against any of Items 1 through 5 or abstained from voting on such proposals, we could adjourn the Annual Meeting without a vote on such Items and use the additional time to solicit the holders of those shares to change their vote in favor of such Items.

Vote Required

If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter will be required to approve the adjournment of the Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient shares to be voted in favor of Items 1 through 5. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient shares to be voted in favor of Items 1 through 5.

45

EXPENSES OF SOLICITATION

We will pay the entire expense of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to this solicitation by mail, certain of our directors, officers and employees (who will receive no compensation for their services other than their regular compensation) may solicit proxies by telephone, telegram, personal interview, facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic communication. In addition, banks, brokerage houses, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries have been requested to forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock held of record by them as of the record date, and such custodians will be reimbursed for their expenses.

46

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into indemnity agreements with our directors and Named Executive Officers which provide, among other things, that we will indemnify such executive officer or director, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, damages, judgments, fines and settlements he or she may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which he or she is or may be made a party by reason of his or her position as our director, executive officer or other agent, and otherwise to the full extent permitted under Nevada law and our amended and restated bylaws.

In order to identify and address concerns regarding related party transactions and their disclosures, we use Director and Officer Questionnaires and our conduct and ethics policies. We also consider the independence of our directors. The discussion of the independence of the directors is included under “Corporate Governance — Board and Board Committee Matters” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Director and Officer Questionnaires are distributed to executive officers and directors each fiscal year to identify any potential related-party transactions. Within the questionnaire, executive officers and directors are asked to describe any transaction, arrangement or relationship or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, occurring since the beginning of the prior fiscal year, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which any of the following had or will have a direct or indirect interest: (i) the individual; (ii) any director or executive officer; (iii) a nominee for director; (iv) an immediate family member of a director or executive officer; (v) an immediate family member of a nominee for director; (vi) a security holder of more than 5% of the Common Stock; or (vii) an immediate family member of the security holder. Responses provided within the questionnaire are reviewed by our management to determine any necessary course of action.

It is our policy that all employees, directors and agents maintain the highest ethical standards and comply with all applicable legal requirements when conducting Company business. Guidelines regarding conflicts of interest are detailed in our Code of Conduct and Business Ethics, which was adopted by the Board of Directors and is available on the Company’s website at https://ir.agrify.com. All employees must deal with vendors, customers and others doing business with us in a manner that avoids even the appearance of conflict between personal interests and those of our Company. Potential conflicts of interest may arise from any of the following:

•a direct or indirect financial interest in any business or organization that is a vendor or competitor of ours, if the employee or director can influence decisions with respect to our business with respect to such business or organization; and

•serving on the board of directors of, or being employed in any capacity by, a vendor, competitor or customer of ours.

The Audit Committee is authorized to review all potential conflicts of interest involving directors and executive officers.

Relationships, including business, financial, personal, and family, may give rise to conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict. Employees should carefully evaluate their relationships as they relate to our business to avoid conflict or the appearance of a conflict. To avoid conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict:

•An employee should not work in a position in which he or she has the authority to hire, directly supervise or attempt to influence the employment actions of an immediate family member or romantic partner. Any individual in a supervisory position should not pursue a romantic relationship with any person with whom there is a reporting relationship.

•Employees and directors should not have an undisclosed relationship with, or financial interest in, any business that competes or deals with us; provided that the ownership of less than 1% of the outstanding shares, units or other interests of any class of publicly traded securities is acceptable.

•Employees are prohibited from directly or indirectly competing or performing services for any person or entity in competition with us.

•Employees should comply with the policies set forth in this Code of Conduct and Business Ethics regarding the receipt or giving of gifts, favors or entertainment.

47

•A full-time employee should obtain the approval of his or her supervisor before serving as a trustee, regent, director or officer of a philanthropic, professional, national, regional or community organization, or educational institution. This policy applies where significant time spent in support of these functions may interfere with time that should be devoted to our business.

•Employees may not sell or lease equipment, materials or property to us without appropriate corporate authority.

•Employees should purchase our equipment, materials or property only on terms available to the general public.

Any employee or director who becomes aware of a conflict is required to bring it to the attention of a supervisor, management or other appropriate personnel. Directors are expected and required to uphold the same dedication to corporate ethics as our employees.

If a conflict of interest arises involving an executive officer or director, the Board of Directors must approve a waiver to the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics and if a director has the conflict, that director must abstain from the approval. Waivers are made on a case-by-case basis. The Board of Directors has not adopted a formal written policy with respect to waiving conflict of interests or approving related party transactions. In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered the infrequency in occurrence of these transactions. Any waivers to the Code of Conduct and Business Ethics granted to an executive officer or director shall be disclosed by us on our website at https://ir.agrify.com.

The CP Note amended the terms of the Convertible Note by, among other things, (i) reducing the conversion price to $1.46 per share of Common Stock, (ii) increasing the beneficial ownership limitation to 49.99% with respect to any individual or group, provided that CP may assign its right to receive shares upon conversion to Mr. Chang and/or Ms. Chan or their affiliates, in which case the 49.99% beneficial ownership limitation will apply to each of them individually, (iii) extending the maturity date to December 31, 2025, (iv) increasing the interest rate from 9% to 10% per annum, (v) increasing the default interest from 15% to 18% per annum, and (vi) providing for the payment of interest every six months, or in lieu of cash interest payments, we may issue shares as payments-in-kind at a conversion price equal to the higher of (i) $1.46 or (ii) a 20% discount to our trailing seven-day volume weighted average price as of the date of interest payment. Immediately following the execution of the CP Note, CP immediately elected to convert approximately $3.9 million of outstanding principal into an aggregate of 2,671,633shares of common stock, and assigned its rights to receive such shares to entities affiliated with Mr. Chang and Ms. Chan. Following the conversion, there was $15.0 million in principal amount outstanding under the CP Note.

On July 12, 2023, we issued the GIC Note in favor of GIC, an entity that is owned and managed by Raymond Chang, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The Junior Secured Note bore interest at a rate of 10% per annum, had a maturity date of December 31, 2023, and could be prepaid without any fee or penalty. The Junior Secured Note was a junior secured obligation.

(a)to construe and interpret the Plan and apply its provisions;

(b)to promulgate, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the administration of the Plan;

(c)to authorize any person to execute, on behalf of the Company, any instrument required to carry out the purposes of the Plan;

(j) to determine the target number of Performance Shares to be granted pursuant to a Performance Share Award, the performance measures that will be used to establish the Performance Goals, the Performance Period(s) and the number of Performance Shares earned by a Participant;

(k)to amend any outstanding Awards, including for the purpose of modifying the time or manner of vesting, or the term of any outstanding Award; provided, however, that if any such amendment impairs a Participant’s rights or increases a Participant’s obligations under his or her Award or creates or increases a Participant’s federal income tax liability with respect to an Award, such amendment shall also be subject to the Participant’s consent;

(l) to determine the duration and purpose of leaves of absences which may be granted to a Participant without constituting termination of their employment for purposes of the Plan, which periods shall be no shorter than the periods generally applicable to Employees under the Company’s employment policies;

Except to the extent (i) approved in advance by holders of a majority of the shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, or (ii) as a result of any Change of Control or any adjustment as provided in Article 14 or Article 15, the Committee shall not have the power or authority to reduce, whether through amendment or otherwise, the exercise price under any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right, or to grant any new Award or make any payment of cash in substitution for or upon the cancellation of Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights previously granted.

3.2Committee Decisions Final. All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on the Company and the Participants, unless such decisions are determined by a court having jurisdiction to be arbitrary and capricious.

3.3Delegation. The Committee or, if no Committee has been appointed, the Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee or committees of one or more members of the Board, and the term “Committee” shall apply to any person or persons to whom such authority has been delegated. The Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board or the Committee shall thereafter be to the committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase or decrease the size of the Committee, add additional members to, remove members (with or without cause) from, appoint new members in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall act pursuant to a vote of the majority of its members or, in the case of a Committee comprised of only two members, the unanimous consent of its members, whether present or not, or by the written consent of the majority of its members and minutes shall be kept of all of its meetings and copies thereof shall be provided to the Board.

3.4Committee Composition. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors. The Board shall have discretion to determine whether or not it intends to comply with the exemption requirements of Rule 16b-3. However, if the Board intends to satisfy such exemption requirements, with respect to any insider subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be a compensation committee of the Board that at all times consists solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Nothing herein shall create an inference that an Award is not validly granted under the Plan in the event Awards are granted under the Plan by a compensation committee of the Board that does not at all times consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors.

3.5Indemnification. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as Directors or members of the Committee, and to the extent allowed by Applicable Laws, the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding or in connection with any appeal therein, to which the Committee may be party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan, and against all amounts paid by the Committee in settlement thereof (provided, however, that the settlement has been approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or paid by the Committee in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such Committee did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or in the

A-7

case of a criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe that the conduct complained of was unlawful; provided, however, that within 60 days after the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, such Committee shall, in writing, offer the Company the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend such action, suit or proceeding.

4.Shares Subject to the Plan.

4.1Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 14, an amount of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) two million seven hundred and sixty thousand two hundred and sixty thousand (2,760,000260,000) plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock underlying any award granted under the Agrify Corporation 2020 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”) that expires, terminates or is canceled or forfeited under the terms of the Prior Plan shall be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan (the “Total Share Reserve”). During the terms of the Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards.

4.2Shares of Common Stock available for distribution under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares reacquired by the Company in any manner.

4.3Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 14, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued in the aggregate pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall be equal to the Total Share Reserve (the “ISO Limit”).

4.4Any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that expires or is canceled, forfeited, or terminated without issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock to which the Award related will again be available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: shares subject to an Award under the Plan shall not again be made available for issuance or delivery under the Plan if such shares are (a) shares tendered in payment of an Option, (b) shares delivered or withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation (other than with respect to Restricted Awards and Performance Share Awards, in which case such shares will again be available for issuance under the Plan), or (c) shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right or other Awards that were not issued upon the settlement of the Award.

4.5Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted under the Plan in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”). Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the Total Share Reserve; provided, that, Substitute Awards issued in connection with the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding options intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options shall be counted against the ISO limit. Subject to applicable stock exchange requirements, available shares under a shareholder-approved plan of an entity directly or indirectly acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines (as appropriately adjusted to reflect such acquisition or transaction) may be used for Awards under the Plan and shall not count toward the Total Share Limit.

5.Eligibility.

5.1Eligibility for Specific Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Consultants and Directors and those individuals whom the Committee determines are reasonably expected to become Employees, Consultants and Directors following the Grant Date.

5.2Ten Percent Shareholders. A Ten Percent Shareholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the Option Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date.

6.Option Provisions. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Option so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. All Options shall be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if

A-8

an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The provisions of separate Options need not be identical, but each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

6.1Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date. The term of a Non-qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Non-qualified Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the Grant Date.

6.2Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the Option Exercise Price of each Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

6.3Exercise Price of a Non-qualified Stock Option. The Option Exercise Price of each Non-qualified Stock Option shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the Grant Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted with an Option Exercise Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

6.4Consideration. The Option Exercise Price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable statutes and regulations, either (a) in cash or by certified or bank check at the time the Option is exercised or (b) in the discretion of the Committee, upon such terms as the Committee shall approve, the Option Exercise Price may be paid: (i) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) due for the number of shares being acquired, or by means of attestation whereby the Participant identifies for delivery specific shares of Common Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of attestation equal to the Option Exercise Price (or portion thereof) and receives a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the number of shares thereby purchased and the number of identified attestation shares of Common Stock (a “Stock for Stock Exchange”); (ii) a “cashless” exercise program established with a broker; (iii) by reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon exercise of such Option with a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate Option Exercise Price at the time of exercise; (iv) by any combination of the foregoing methods; or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the exercise price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery (or attestation) to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period for which the Common Stock is publicly traded (i.e., the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system) an exercise by a Director or Officer that involves or may involve a direct or indirect extension of credit or arrangement of an extension of credit by the Company, directly or indirectly, in violation of Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall be prohibited with respect to any Award under this Plan.

6.5Transferability of an Incentive Stock Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.6Transferability of a Non-qualified Stock Option. A Non-qualified Stock Option may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be transferable to a Permitted Transferee, upon written approval by the Committee to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. If the Non-qualified Stock Option does not provide for transferability, then the Non-qualified Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of

A-9

descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

6.7Vesting of Options. Subject to Section 13.6, each Option shall vest, and therefore become exercisable, in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may vary. No Option may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock.

6.8Termination of Continuous Service. In the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination) in accordance with, and during the period set forth in, the terms of the applicable Award Agreement. If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement, the Option shall terminate.

6.9Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for any reason would be prohibited at any time because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or any other state or federal securities law or the rules of any securities exchange or interdealer quotation system, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the expiration of the term of the Option in accordance with Section 6.1 or (b) the expiration of a period after termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service that is three months after the end of the period during which the exercise of the Option would be in violation of such registration or other securities law requirements.

6.10  Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Non-qualified Stock Options.

7.Stock Appreciation Rights. Each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 7, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted alone (“Free Standing Rights”) or in tandem with an Option granted under the Plan (“Related Rights”).

7.1Grant Requirements for Related Rights. Any Related Right that relates to a Non-qualified Stock Option may be granted at the same time the Option is granted or at any time thereafter but before the exercise or expiration of the Option. Any Related Right that relates to an Incentive Stock Option must be granted at the same time the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

7.2Term The term of a Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, no Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable later than the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.

7.3Vesting

Subject to Section 13.6, each Stock Appreciation Right shall vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal. The Stock Appreciation Right may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised as the Committee may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Stock Appreciation Rights may vary. No Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised for a fraction of a share of Common Stock.

7.4Exercise and Payment Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company an amount equal to the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right that is being exercised multiplied by the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the Award is exercised, over (ii) the exercise price specified in the Stock Appreciation

A-10

Right or related Option. Payment with respect to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be made on the date of exercise. Payment shall be made in the form of shares of Common Stock (with or without restrictions as to substantial risk of forfeiture and transferability, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee.

7.5Exercise Price The exercise price of a Free Standing Right shall be determined by the Committee, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Grant Date of such Stock Appreciation Right. A Related Right granted simultaneously with or subsequent to the grant of an Option and in conjunction therewith or in the alternative thereto shall have the same exercise price as the related Option, shall be transferable only upon the same terms and conditions as the related Option, and shall be exercisable only to the same extent as the related Option; provided, however, that a Stock Appreciation Right, by its terms, shall be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right and related Option exceeds the exercise price per share thereof and no Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with an Option unless the Committee determines that the requirements of Section 7.1 are satisfied.

7.6Reduction in the Underlying Option Shares Upon any exercise of a Related Right, the number of shares of Common Stock for which any related Option shall be exercisable shall be reduced by the number of shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The number of shares of Common Stock for which a Related Right shall be exercisable shall be reduced upon any exercise of any related Option by the number of shares of Common Stock for which such Option has been exercised.

8.Restricted Awards A Restricted Award is an Award of actual shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”) or hypothetical Common Stock units (“Restricted Stock Units”) having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock, which may, but need not, provide that such Restricted Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, pledged or hypothecated as collateral for a loan or as security for the performance of any obligation or for any other purpose for such period (the “Restricted Period”) as the Committee shall determine. Each Restricted Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Restricted Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 8, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement.

8.1Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

(a)Each Participant granted Restricted Stock shall execute and deliver to the Company an Award Agreement with respect to the Restricted Stock setting forth the restrictions and other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock. If the Committee determines that the Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather than delivered to the Participant pending the release of the applicable restrictions, the Committee may require the Participant to additionally execute and deliver to the Company (A) an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Committee, if applicable and (B) the appropriate blank stock power with respect to the Restricted Stock covered by such agreement. If a Participant fails to execute an agreement evidencing an Award of Restricted Stock and, if applicable, an escrow agreement and stock power, the Award shall be null and void. Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Award, the Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges of a shareholder as to such Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Restricted Stock, provided that the Participant shall not have the right to receive dividends on any unvested shares of Restricted Stock.

(b)The terms and conditions of a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued at the time a Restricted Stock Unit is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside funds for the payment of any such Award. A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder. The Committee may also grant Restricted Stock Units with a deferral feature, whereby settlement is deferred beyond the vesting date until the occurrence of a future payment date or event set forth in an Award Agreement (“Deferred Stock Units”).

8.2Restrictions

(a)Restricted Stock awarded to a Participant shall be subject to the following restrictions until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and to such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement: (A) if an escrow arrangement is used, the Participant shall not be entitled

A-11

to delivery of the stock certificate; (B) the shares shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the Award Agreement; (C) the shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement; and (D) to the extent such shares are forfeited, the stock certificates shall be returned to the Company, and all rights of the Participant to such shares and as a shareholder with respect to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company.

(b)Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units awarded to any Participant shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period, and satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals during such period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.

(c)The Committee shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Deferred Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in Applicable Laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units or Deferred Stock Units are granted, such action is appropriate.

8.3Restricted Period

With respect to Restricted Awards, the Restricted Period shall commence on the Grant Date and end at the time or times set forth on a schedule established by the Committee in the applicable Award Agreement. No Restricted Award may be granted or settled for a fraction of a share of Common Stock. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Award Agreement upon the occurrence of a specified event.

8.4Delivery of Restricted Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any shares of Restricted Stock, the restrictions set forth in Section 8.2 and the applicable Award Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to such shares, except as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, the stock certificate evidencing the shares of Restricted Stock which have not then been forfeited and with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (to the nearest full share). Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, or at the expiration of the deferral period with respect to any outstanding Deferred Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her beneficiary, without charge, one share of Common Stock for each such outstanding vested Restricted Stock Unit or Deferred Stock Unit (“Vested Unit”); provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering only shares of Common Stock for Vested Units. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Restricted Period lapsed in the case of Restricted Stock Units, or the delivery date in the case of Deferred Stock Units, with respect to each Vested Unit.

8.5Stock Restrictions Each certificate representing Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan shall bear a legend in such form as the Company deems appropriate.

9.Performance Share Awards Each Performance Share Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement. Each Performance Share Award so granted shall be subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 9, and to such other conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine: (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or stock-denominated units subject to a Performance Share Award granted to any Participant; (ii) the Performance Period applicable to any Award; (iii) the conditions that must be satisfied for a Participant to earn an Award; and (iv) the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Award.

A-12

9.1Earning Performance Share Awards The number of Performance Shares earned by a Participant will depend on the extent to which the performance goals established by the Committee are attained within the applicable Performance Period, as determined by the Committee.

10.Other Equity-Based Awards and Cash Awards The Committee may grant Other Equity-Based Awards, either alone or in tandem with other Awards, in such amounts and subject to such conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. Each Equity-Based Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement and shall be subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as may be reflected in the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee may grant Cash Awards in such amounts and subject to such Performance Goals, other vesting conditions, and such other terms as the Committee determines in its discretion. Cash Awards shall be evidenced in such form as the Committee may determine.

11.Securities Law Compliance. Each Award Agreement shall provide that no shares of Common Stock shall be purchased or sold thereunder unless and until (a) any then applicable requirements of state or federal laws and regulatory agencies have been fully complied with to the satisfaction of the Company and its counsel and (b) if required to do so by the Company, the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company a letter of investment intent in such form and containing such provisions as the Committee may require. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

12.Use of Proceeds from Stock. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards, or upon exercise thereof, shall constitute general funds of the Company.

13.Miscellaneous.

13.1  Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Award may first be exercised or the time during which an Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

13.2  Shareholder Rights. Except as provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Award unless and until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Award pursuant to its terms and no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions of other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Common Stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 14 hereof.

13.3  No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (a) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without Cause or (b) the service of a Director pursuant to the By-laws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.

13.4  Transfer; Approved Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, no termination of employment by an Employee shall be deemed to result from either (a) a transfer of employment to the Company from an Affiliate or from the Company to an Affiliate, or from one Affiliate to another, or (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the Employee’s

A-13

right to reemployment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee otherwise so provides in writing, in either case, except to the extent inconsistent with Section 409A of the Code if the applicable Award is subject thereto.

13.5  Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Award Agreement and subject to the discretion of the Committee, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (a) tendering a cash payment; (b) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant as a result of the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (c) delivering to the Company previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock of the Company.

13.6  Minimum Vesting. No Award shall be granted with terms providing for any right of exercise or lapse of any vesting obligations earlier than a date that is at least one year following the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Plan (subject to adjustment under Section 14), without regard for any limitations or other requirements for exercise or vesting as set forth in this Section 13.6, and the minimum vesting requirement does not apply to (A) any Substitute Awards, (B) shares of Common Stock delivered in lieu of fully vested Cash Awards, (C) Awards to Directors, and (D) the Committee’s discretion to provide for accelerated exercisability or vesting of any Award, including in cases of retirement, death, disability or a Change in Control, in the terms of the Award or otherwise.

14.Adjustments Upon Changes in Stock. In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock or in the capital structure of the Company by reason of any stock or extraordinary cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, an extraordinary corporate transaction such as any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange, or other relevant change in capitalization occurring after the Grant Date of any Award, Awards granted under the Plan and any Award Agreements, the exercise price of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Performance Goals to which Performance Share Awards and Cash Awards are subject, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to all Awards stated in Section 4 will be equitably adjusted or substituted, as to the number, price or kind of a share of Common Stock or other consideration subject to such Awards to the extent necessary to preserve the economic intent of such Award. In the case of adjustments made pursuant to this Section 14, unless the Committee specifically determines that such adjustment is in the best interests of the Company or its Affiliates, the Committee shall, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 14 will not constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of the Code and in the case of Non-qualified Stock Options, ensure that any adjustments under this Section 14 will not constitute a modification of such Non-qualified Stock Options within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any adjustments made under this Section 14 shall be made in a manner which does not adversely affect the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company shall give each Participant notice of an adjustment hereunder and, upon notice, such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

15.Effect of Change in Control.

15.1  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, at the time an Award is made or at any time prior to, coincident with or after the time of a Change of Control, cause any Award either (i) to be canceled in consideration of a payment in cash or other consideration in amount per share equal to the excess, if any, of the price or implied price per share of Common Stock in the Change of Control over the per share exercise, base or purchase price of such Award, which may be paid immediately or over the vesting schedule of the Award; (ii) to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefore, by the surviving corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such surviving corporation following such Change of Control; (iii) accelerate any time periods, or waive any other conditions, relating to the vesting, exercise, payment or distribution of an Award so that any Award to a Participant whose employment has been terminated as a result of a Change of Control may be vested, exercised, paid or distributed in full on or before a date fixed by the Committee; (iv) to be purchased from a Participant whose employment has been terminated as a result of a Change of Control, upon the Participant’s request, for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise, payment or distribution of such rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable; or (v) terminate any then outstanding Award or make any

A-14

other adjustment to the Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems necessary or appropriate to reflect such transaction or change. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to any Award shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

15.2  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Company and its Affiliates, taken as a whole.

16.Amendment of the Plan and Awards.

16.1  Amendment of Plan. The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend or terminate the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 14 relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock and Section 16.3, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the shareholders of the Company to the extent shareholder approval is necessary to satisfy any Applicable Laws. At the time of such amendment, the Board shall determine, upon advice from counsel, whether such amendment will be contingent on shareholder approval.

16.2  Shareholder Approval. The Board may, in its sole discretion, submit any other amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval.

16.3  Contemplated Amendments. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Employees, Consultants and Directors with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith.

16.4  No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Award granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

16.5  Amendment of Awards. The Committee at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Awards; provided, however, that the Committee may not affect any amendment which would otherwise constitute an impairment of the rights under any Award unless (a) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (b) the Participant consents in writing.

17.General Provisions.

17.1  Forfeiture Events. The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain events, in addition to applicable vesting conditions of an Award. Such events may include, without limitation, breach of non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that are contained in the Award Agreement or otherwise applicable to the Participant, a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for Cause, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Affiliates.

17.2  Clawback. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to the Company’s clawback policy, as in effect from time to time. If there shall be no such clawback policy in effect, (1) awards under the Plan and any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards under the Plan (and any gains thereon) shall be subject to recovery or “clawback” by the Company if and to the extent that the vesting of such Awards was determined or calculated based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other material inaccurate performance metric criteria; and (2) if the Company or its subsidiaries terminate a Participant’s service relationship due to the Participant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (whether or not such actions also constitute “cause” under an Award Agreement), which conduct, directly or indirectly, results in the Company preparing an accounting restatement, any Awards under the Plan, whether or not vested, as well as any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards under this Plan (and any gains thereon) shall be subject to forfeiture, recovery and “clawback.”

A-15

17.3  Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

17.4  Sub-Plans. The Committee may from time to time establish sub-plans under the Plan for purposes of satisfying securities, tax or other laws of various jurisdictions in which the Company intends to grant Awards. Any sub-plans shall contain such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Committee determines are necessary or desirable. All sub-plans shall be deemed a part of the Plan, but each sub-plan shall apply only to the Participants in the jurisdiction for which the sub-plan was designed.

17.5  Deferral of Awards. The Committee may establish one or more programs under the Plan to permit selected Participants the opportunity to elect to defer receipt of consideration upon exercise of an Award, satisfaction of performance criteria, or other event that absent the election would entitle the Participant to payment or receipt of shares of Common Stock or other consideration under an Award. The Committee may establish the election procedures, the timing of such elections, the mechanisms for payments of, and accrual of interest or other earnings, if any, on amounts, shares or other consideration so deferred, and such other terms, conditions, rules and procedures that the Committee deems advisable for the administration of any such deferral program.

17.6  Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. Neither the Company, the Board nor the Committee shall be required to establish any special or separate fund or to segregate any assets to assure the performance of its obligations under the Plan.

17.7  Recapitalizations. Each Award Agreement shall contain provisions required to reflect the provisions of Section 14.

17.8  Delivery. Upon exercise of a right granted under this Plan, the Company shall issue Common Stock or pay any amounts due within a reasonable period of time thereafter. Subject to any statutory or regulatory obligations the Company may otherwise have, for purposes of this Plan, 30 days shall be considered a reasonable period of time.

17.9  No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan. The Committee shall determine whether cash, additional Awards or other securities or property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock or whether any fractional shares should be rounded, forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

17.10 Other Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan may contain such other provisions not inconsistent with this Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of Awards, as the Committee may deem advisable.

17.11 Section 409A. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted and administered to be in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless Applicable Laws require otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after the six-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any additional tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

17.12 Disqualifying Dispositions. Any Participant who shall make a “disposition” (as defined in Section 424 of the Code) of all or any portion of shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock

A-16

Option within two years from the Grant Date of such Incentive Stock Option or within one year after the issuance of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of such Incentive Stock Option (a “Disqualifying Disposition”) shall be required to immediately advise the Company in writing as to the occurrence of the sale and the price realized upon the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

17.13 Section 16. It is the intent of the Company that the Plan satisfy, and be interpreted in a manner that satisfies, the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act so that Participants will be entitled to the benefit of Rule 16b-3, or any other rule promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and will not be subject to short-swing liability under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Accordingly, if the operation of any provision of the Plan would conflict with the intent expressed in this Section 17.13, such provision to the extent possible shall be interpreted and/or deemed amended so as to avoid such conflict.

17.14 Beneficiary Designation. Each Participant under the Plan may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of such Participant’s death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee and shall be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.

17.15 Expenses. The costs of administering the Plan shall be paid by the Company.

17.16 Severability. If any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability and the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

17.17 Plan Headings. The headings in the Plan are for purposes of convenience only and are not intended to define or limit the construction of the provisions hereof.

17.18 Non-Uniform Treatment. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who are eligible to receive, or actually receive, Awards. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled to make non-uniform and selective determinations, amendments and adjustments, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Award Agreements.

18.Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date.

19.Termination or Suspension of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate automatically on April 29June8, 2032. No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan after such date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any earlier date pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof. No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

20.Choice of Law. The law of the State of Nevada shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of law rules.
