Exhibit 10.2

VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

This VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 28, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), by and among Guardforce AI Co., Limited, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands (the “Company”), WK Venture Success Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability, who is the holder of certain indebtedness of the Company (“WK Venture” ) and each of the persons listed on the Schedule to this Agreement (together with WK Venture, each, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders” and, the Holders together with the Company, the “Parties”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Holders are entering into a Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) providing for conversion of WK Venture’s outstanding loans to the Company and accrued and unpaid interests into ordinary shares, with a par value of US$0.12 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), of the Company (the “Loan Conversion”). Pursuant to the Conversion Agreement, WK Venture will convert the principal amount of US$13,421,792.82 and accrued and unpaid interests of US$2,492,821.77 into 2,947,150 Ordinary Shares of the Company (the “Conversion Shares”) at the conversion price of US$5.40 per Ordinary Share. In connection with that Conversion Agreement, the Holders desire to appoint the designated director, Ms. Lei Wang (who is the Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), as each of the Holders’ proxy in respect of the Conversion Shares, to attend and vote at each annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company and at any other meetings of the shareholders of the Company called, subject to the Company’s adopted Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company as amended from time to time and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants and agreements set forth in the Conversion Agreement and in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.Restrictions on Shares.

(a) Except pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Holders shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the exercise of voting rights attached to any of the Conversion Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement or commitment with respect to any of the Conversion Shares or make any public announcement that is in any manner inconsistent with the irrevocable appointment contained in Section 2 (Agreement to Vote Shares) hereof.

(b)Except as otherwise provided herein, each Holder shall not, in its capacity as a legal or beneficial shareholder of the Company, directly or indirectly, take any action that would make any representation or warranty contained herein untrue or incorrect or be reasonably expected to have the effect of impairing the ability of Holders to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Any shares or other securities of the Company that Holders purchases or with respect to which Holders otherwise acquires legal or beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time, including by reason of any share split, share dividend, share consolidation, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction (collectively, the “New Shares”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Conversion Shares. As used herein, the term “Expiration Time” shall mean the earlier to occur of (A) such date and time designated by the Company in a written notice to the Holders, or (B) the written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement.

(d) Should any Holder(s) choose to transfer or sell their Conversion Shares privately (“Private Transfer”), such action shall be permissible under the terms set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any Private Transfer of shares by the Holder(s), the granting, allocation, or attribution of voting rights to Ms. Lei Wang and appointment her as the proxy shall remain unchanged and unaffected by such Private Transfer. The Holder(s) undertaking a Private Transfer shall (i) provide timely notice to the Company and the relevant parties involved of any such transaction to ensure clarity on the continuation of voting rights as specified; and (ii) have the buyer of the Conversion Shares appoint Ms. Lei Wang as their proxy.

(e) The restriction contained in paragraph (d) above does not apply to and the term “Private Transfer” shall exclude any sale, transfer or trading of any of the Conversion Shares and the New Shares conducted by a Holder (i) on a stock market or securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are traded or quoted; or (ii) over the counter trade conducted through the medium of a stock broker, securities dealer or financial services intermediary.

2.Agreement to Vote Shares. Prior to the Expiration Time, each Holder unconditionally and irrevocably appoints Ms. Lei Wang, who is the Chairperson of the board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as each Holder’s proxy to attend and vote at each annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Company and at any other meetings of the shareholders of the Company called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent or resolution of the shareholders of the Company.

3.Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Holder shall deliver to the Company a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Proxy”), which proxy is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, and, until the Expiration Time, shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by law, with respect to each and every meeting of shareholders of the Company or action or approval by written resolution or consent of shareholders of the Company covering the total number of Conversion Shares and New Shares in respect of which each of the Holders is entitled to vote at any such meeting or in connection with any such written consent. Upon the execution of this Agreement by the Holders, (i) each of the Holders hereby revokes any and all prior proxies (other than the Proxy) given by each of the Holders and (ii) each of the Holders shall not grant any subsequent proxies, or enter into any agreement or understanding with any person to vote or give instructions with respect to the Conversion Shares and New Shares in any manner inconsistent with the terms of Section 2, until after the Expiration Time.

(g) The obligations of each Holder to the Company under this Agreement are several only. No Holder is responsible to the Company for the obligations of any other Holders under this Agreement.

(g) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(h) Governing Law. The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

(i) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect from and after the Expiration Time, and thereafter there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of the Holders, provided, that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

(j) Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by each of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against which the waiver is to be effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right hereunder.

(k) Rules of Construction. The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

(l) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
