At this year’s meeting, we will vote on the election of Linda L. Singh and Bonnie K.

We will also conduct non-binding advisory votes to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers and regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay votes. Finally, we will transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

Whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting virtually, it is important that your shares are represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. You may vote over the Internet or by telephone or, if you requested printed copies of the proxy materials, by mailing a proxy or voting instruction card. Voting over the Internet, by telephone or by written proxy will ensure your representation at the Annual Meeting regardless of whether you attend the meeting virtually.

2.	To consider and vote on whether to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

Our Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” the election of the two director nominees, the approval of our executive compensation, and the ratification of our independent auditors, and “3 YEARS” for the frequency of future votes on executive compensation.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on July 22, 2022 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. We have determined that it is in our and our stockholders’ best interest to hold the Annual Meeting “virtually” via live audio webcast. The virtual Annual Meeting affords our stockholders the same rights and opportunities as an in-person meeting, while allowing them to attend the meeting regardless of their geographic location or other circumstances that could limit their ability to attend an in-person meeting. To attend the Annual Meeting or examine our list of stockholders, go to https://agm.issuerdirect.com/WAVD at the meeting date and time described above and in the accompanying Proxy Statement. There is no physical location for the Annual Meeting.

All stockholders are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. Whether or not you plan to attend, please vote your shares by telephone or by the Internet as promptly as possible. Telephone and Internet voting instructions can be found on the notice card. Should you receive more than one proxy because your shares are registered in different names and addresses, each proxy should be signed and returned to assure that all your shares will be voted. You may revoke your proxy at any time prior to the Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting virtually and vote, your proxy will be revoked and only your vote at the Annual Meeting will be counted.

The Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, are available at https://www.iproxydirect.com/wavd or ir.wavedancer.com/sec-filings. You can also access these materials by contacting Gwen Pal at Gwen@wavedancer.com.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MEETING, VOTING AND PROXIES

Date, Time and Place of Meeting

This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of WaveDancer, Inc. (“we,” “WaveDancer” or the “Company”) for use at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on September 13, 2022 beginning at 10:00 a.m. EDT and at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting. The Annual Meeting will take place exclusively in a virtual meeting format at https://agm.issuerdirect.com/WAVD, as further described below in “Attendance at the Virtual Annual Meeting.” On or about August 4, 2022, we are either mailing or providing notice and electronic delivery of these proxy materials together with an annual report, consisting of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”), and other information required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Please refer to these materials for instructions regarding virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting and how to submit your vote for the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials

Under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules, we have elected to use the Internet as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders. Consequently, most stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We instead sent these stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Internet Availability Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report and vote via the Internet. The Internet Availability Notice also included instructions on how to receive a paper copy of your proxy materials, if you so choose. If you received your annual meeting materials by mail, your proxy materials, including your proxy card, were enclosed. We believe that this process expedites stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lowers the costs of our Annual Meeting and helps to conserve natural resources.

Voting Instructions

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are each described in this Proxy Statement. Only holders of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as of the close of business on July 22, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 17,473,262 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote per share of common stock held on all matters to be voted on by our stockholders.

Before the Annual Meeting, you can vote shares for which you are the stockholder of record by completing, signing and returning by mail the enclosed proxy card, or by following the instructions on the proxy card to vote by telephone or internet. In order to be counted, proxies submitted electronically by telephone or the Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on September 12, 2022. Proxies submitted by postal mail must be received before the start of the Annual Meeting.

1

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Issuer Direct, an Internet Availability Notice was sent directly to you by the Company. The Internet Availability Notice provides instructions on how to request printed proxy materials and how to access your proxy card which contains instructions on how to vote via the Internet or by telephone. For stockholders who receive a paper proxy card, instructions for voting via the Internet or by telephone are set forth on the proxy card, as described above.

If you are a stockholder that holds its shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other holder of record (a “Nominee”), the Internet Availability Notice was forwarded to you by your Nominee, and you will receive instructions from your Nominee that must be followed in order for your Nominee to vote your shares per your instructions. Otherwise, you have the option to submit your proxy or voting instructions to your Nominee by telephone or the Internet. These stockholders should review and follow the voting instructions provided by their Nominee, including any instructions relating to revoking voting instructions. If you hold your shares in “street name” and wish to vote at the Annual Meeting virtually, you must obtain a legal proxy from your Nominee.

You also may vote your shares at the Annual Meeting if you attend virtually. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by providing to our Corporate Secretary either a written instrument revoking it or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. You also may revoke your proxy by attending the Annual Meeting virtually and giving notice of revocation. Attendance at the Annual Meeting, by itself, will not constitute revocation of a proxy. Your vote is important to WaveDancer. We encourage you to submit your proxy even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. You can always change your vote before the meeting or at the meeting, as described above.

Attendance at the Virtual Annual Meeting

We will host the Annual Meeting live online, via Internet webcast. The Internet webcast will start at 10:00 a.m. EDT, on September 13, 2022. To access the virtual Annual Meeting, please go to https://agm.issuerdirect.com/WAVD. You will have the option to log in to the virtual Annual Meeting as a “Stockholder” with a control number or as a “Guest.” If you are a stockholder of record as of the Record Date, you may log in as a “Stockholder” using the Control ID and Request ID for the Annual Meeting, both of which can be found on your proxy card.

If you are not a stockholder of record, but hold shares in “street name” through a Nominee, you may attend the Annual Meeting as “Guest” by entering your name and email address. As a “Guest”, you will have access to the Annual Meeting materials and will be able to ask questions during the Annual Meeting, but you will not be able to vote during the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a Nominee and you desire to vote during the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance to attend the Annual Meeting as a “Stockholder”. To register to attend the virtual Annual Meeting as a “Stockholder”, you must provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as an account statement, legal proxy from your Nominee, or similar evidence of ownership along with your name and email address to Issuer Direct.

Whether you attend the Annual Meeting as a “Stockholder” or as a “Guest”, please allow yourself ample time for the online check-in procedures.

Questions at the Meeting

By accessing https://agm.issuerdirect.com/WAVD on the Internet, our stockholders will be able to submit questions in writing in advance of or during the Annual Meeting, vote, view the Annual Meeting procedures, and obtain copies of proxy materials. Stockholders will need their unique control number which appears on the proxy card accompanying this Proxy Statement and the instructions that accompanied the proxy materials.

Representatives of CohnReznick LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, are not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and accordingly will not have the opportunity to make a statement or be available to respond to questions.

Quorum

In order for any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present. The presence at the Annual Meeting, either by attendance or by proxy, of holders of our common stock entitled to vote and representing at least a majority of our outstanding voting power entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If you submit a properly executed proxy, regardless of whether you abstain from voting on one or more matters, your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum for all matters voted on at the Annual Meeting. Accordingly, shares that constitute broker non-votes will also be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum, including for votes on non-routine matters, despite not being entitled to vote on non-routine matters. If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the stockholders who are present may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of the adjourned Annual Meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given. An adjournment will have no effect on the business that may be conducted at the Annual Meeting.

Proposals

In addition to conduct any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof, the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

● Proposal 1: Election of two Class I director nominees, Linda L. Singh and Bonnie K. Wachtel. The Board believes that the nominees’ knowledge, skills, and abilities would positively contribute to the function of the Board as a whole.

● Proposal 2: The Say-on-Pay Proposal, to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers as described below in the section entitled “Compensation Overview.” The Company has designed its compensation programs to reward and motivate employees to continue to grow the Company. The Compensation Committee takes stockholder views seriously and will take into account the advisory vote in future executive compensation decisions.

● Proposal 3: This proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory, non-binding vote, in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, on how often we should include advisory say-on-pay votes (that is, votes similar to Proposal 2 in this Proxy Statement) in our proxy materials for our future annual stockholders’ meetings or any special stockholders’ meeting for which we must include Named Executive Officer compensation information in the proxy materials. Stockholders may vote their preference to have future advisory say-on-pay votes once every year, once every two years, or once every three years. If you have no preference, you may choose to abstain from voting on this proposal. The Board believes that holding an advisory say-on-pay vote every three years is the most appropriate option for our Company. The Board therefore recommends stockholders vote “3 Years” for this Proposal.

2

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

● Proposal 4: The Audit Committee has appointed CohnReznick LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Audit Committee and the Board believe that the retention of CohnReznick LLP is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Required Vote for Approval

The vote required for each proposal and the treatment and effect of abstentions, broker non-votes, and signed but unmarked proxy cards with respect to each proposal are as follows:

Proposal 1 Election of directors	Majority of votes cast with respect to each nominee(3)	No effect	Broker non-vote/ No effect	Voted “For” each nominee
Proposal 2 Advisory, non-binding vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation	Majority of shares present and represented by proxy entitled to vote	Same effect as a vote “Against”	Broker non-vote/ No effect	Voted “For”
Proposal 3 Advisory, non-binding vote on frequency of the advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer Compensation	The frequency (every year, every two years or every three years) that receives the most votes cast by stockholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote will be considered the frequency recommended by the stockholders	No effect	Broker non-vote/ No effect	Voted for a frequency of every three years (“3 years”)
Proposal 4 Ratification of the appointment of CohnReznick LLP as WaveDancer’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022	Majority of shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote	Same effect as a vote “Against”	Discretionary vote by Nominee(4)	Voted “For”

3

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

(1) Abstentions and broker non-votes are included for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present; however, the shares in connection with abstentions are considered “entitled to vote” whereas those in connection with broker non-votes are not.

(2) Except for broker non-votes, if a holder of record completes and returns its proxy card properly, but does not provide instructions on its proxy card as to how to vote its shares, its shares will be voted as shown in this column and in accordance with the judgment of the individuals named as proxies on the proxy card as to any other matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

(3) This year’s election of directors is an uncontested election of directors, meaning the number of director nominees is equal to or less than the number of directors to be elected at the meeting. In an uncontested election, our directors are elected by majority voting. Under the majority voting standard, a director is elected only if the number of shares voted “For” that director exceeds the number of shares voted “Against” that director.

(4) The Nominee is permitted to vote in its discretion with respect to Proposal 2 despite not having received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Proxy Solicitation

The Company will bear the expense of this solicitation of proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the Internet Availability Notice, this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any additional solicitation material that the Company may provide to stockholders. Copies of the proxy materials and any other solicitation materials will be provided to brokerage firms, banks, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. We will reimburse such brokerage firms, banks, fiduciaries and other custodians for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with forwarding the proxy materials and any other solicitation materials. We have retained Issuer Direct Corporation to assist us with the distribution of proxies. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone and other means by directors, officers and employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services.

Voting Results

We will announce the preliminary voting results at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four (4) business days following the Annual Meeting.

Our Board encourages stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. Whether or not you plan to attend virtually, you are urged to submit your proxy. Prompt response will greatly facilitate arrangements for the meeting and your cooperation will be appreciated. Stockholders who attend the Annual Meeting virtually may vote their stock personally even though they have sent in their proxies.

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Proposal 1 is a proposal to elect two persons, Linda Singh and Bonnie K. Wachtel, to serve as directors on our Board. Each of the nominees is currently serving as a director. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and Class III, with members of each class typically serving staggered three-year terms.¹

The current members of each class of directors are as follows:

Name of Nominee	Age	Director Since	Position with the Company
Class I
Mark T. Krial	65	2016	Director
Linda L. Singh	58	2022	Director
Bonnie K. Wachtel	67	1992	Director
Class II
Jack L. Johnson, Jr.	65	2021	Director
William H. Pickle	72	2015	Director
Donald J. Tringali	64	2021	Director
Class III
G. James Benoit, Jr.	50	2021	Director, CEO and Chairman
Paul B. Becker	60	2021	Director
James C. DiPaula, Jr.	60	2021	Director

The Board, based on the recommendation of the Governance and Nominating Committee, has nominated Linda L. Singh and Bonnie K. Wachtel for re-election as Class I directors to serve for a three-year term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting, Mark T. Krial is resigning as director of the Board.

If elected, each director nominee would hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2025 and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Stockholders cannot vote for a greater number of persons than the two nominees named. Both of the Board’s director nominees have consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director, if elected.

If, prior to the Annual Meeting, either of the nominees should be unavailable to serve for any reason, the Board may (i) designate a substitute nominee or nominees (in which event the persons named on the enclosed proxy card will vote the shares represented by all valid proxy cards for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees), (ii) allow the vacancy(ies) to remain open until a suitable candidate or candidates are located, or (iii) by resolution provide for a lesser number of directors.² The Board has no reason to believe that any of its nominees will be unable to serve.

This year’s election of directors is an uncontested election of directors, meaning the number of director nominees is equal to or less than the number of directors to be elected at the meeting. In an uncontested election, our directors are elected by majority voting. Under the majority voting standard, a director is elected only if the number of shares voted “For” that director exceeds the number of shares voted “Against” that director. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in the election of directors or with respect to any other proposal or matter.

¹ Note: How have director elections been handled since 2018, since it appears no annual meetings were held for 2019, 2020, or 2021? We might want to consider giving disclosure on that here. We had 2021

² Note: We should discuss whether the charter should be amended to remove the specific names of directors as occupying classes, for clarity.

5

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

Summarized below is certain information concerning the nominees for director and the directors whose term of office is not expiring at the Annual Meeting, including a brief account of the education and business experience during at least the past five years.  There are no family relationships between any director, executive officer, or person nominated to become a director.

PROPOSAL 2

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are asking stockholders to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation on our Named Executive Officers as discussed in the section entitled “Executive Compensation” in this Proxy Statement. While this vote is non-binding, we value the opinions of our stockholders and, consistent with our record of stockholder engagement, will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to endorse the executive compensation programs and policies and the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers.

We believe in the power of open disclosure and know the only way to build and strengthen our reputation and our Company is through honesty and trust. In connection with that belief and as required by SEC rules, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

As discussed under the heading “Executive Compensation” in this Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee’s compensation objectives are to: attract and retain highly qualified individuals with a demonstrated record of achievement; reward past performance; provide incentives for future performance; and align the interests of the Named Executive Officers with the interests of our stockholders. The Board is asking stockholders to support this proposal based on the disclosure set forth in these sections of this Proxy Statement, which, among other things, demonstrates:

● our commitment to ensuring executive compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies and business objectives and is competitive with those of other companies in our industry;  

● the design of our compensation programs is intended to reward our Named Executive Officers for the achievement of key strategic and financial performance measures; and  

● our strong emphasis on the alignment of the incentives of our Named Executive Officers with the creation of increased stockholder value.

The Board recommends that stockholders to vote FOR, in a non-binding vote, the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, the stockholders of WaveDancer, Inc. approve on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation tables and accompanying narrative disclosure under the heading “Executive Compensation” included in the Proxy Statement.”

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE SAY-ON-PAY VOTES

This proposal gives our stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory, non-binding vote, in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, on how often we should include advisory say-on-pay votes (that is, votes similar to Proposal 2 in this Proxy Statement) in our proxy materials for our future annual stockholders’ meetings or any special stockholders’ meeting for which we must include Named Executive Officer compensation information in the proxy materials. Stockholders may vote their preference to have future advisory say-on-pay votes once every year, once every two years, or once every three years. If you have no preference, you may choose to abstain from voting on this proposal.

The Board believes that holding an advisory say-on-pay vote every three years is the most appropriate option for our Company.

Required Vote and Voting Recommendation

In voting on this Proposal 3, stockholders may cast their advisory vote to conduct future advisory say-on-pay votes every “1 Year,” “2 Years,” “3 Years,” or “Abstain.” As an advisory vote, this Proposal 3 is not binding on the Company or the Board. However, the Board values the opinions expressed by our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of this vote when considering the frequency of future advisory say-on-pay votes.

The Board recommends that stockholders vote to hold future advisory say-on-pay votes every 3 YEARS.

PROPOSAL 4

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

The Audit Committee has appointed CohnReznick LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Board proposes that the stockholders ratify this appointment. CohnReznick LLP audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We expect that representatives of CohnReznick LLP will not be present at the meeting, will therefore be unable to make a statement, and will not be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Audit Committee directly engages CohnReznick LLP as it relates to the audit of the Company’s fiscal year and the reviews of its fiscal quarters and the associated fees. In accordance with its written charter, our Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services, including the scope of contemplated services and the related fees, that are to be performed by CohnReznick LLP, subject to the de minimis exceptions described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which are approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. The Audit Committee’s pre-approval of non-audit services involves consideration of the impact of providing such services on CohnReznick LLP’s independence. All 2021 and 2020 non-audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Although stockholder approval of the Board of Directors’ selection of CohnReznick LLP is not required by law, the Board believes that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection.

In the event the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of CohnReznick LLP, as our independent registered public accountants, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accountants.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of CohnReznick LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Committees of the Board of Directors and Meetings

Meeting Attendance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 there were seven meetings of our Board. All directors attended the meetings of the Board and of committees of the Board on which he or she served during 2021, with the exception of Mr. Wester, who missed both of the meetings that ocurred prior to his resignation, and Mr. May, who missed one meeting due to illness. The Board undertook additional actions via unanimous consent. The Board has adopted a policy under which each member of the Board is strongly encouraged to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders.

Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee met four times during 2021. This committee currently has three members, Bonnie K. Wachtel (Chair), James C. DiPaula and Donald J. Tringali. Our Audit Committee has the authority to retain and terminate the services of our independent registered public accounting firm, reviews annual financial statements, considers matters relating to accounting policy and internal controls and reviews the scope of annual audits. All members of the Audit Committee satisfy the current independence standards promulgated by the SEC and by the NASDAQ Stock Market; as such standards apply specifically to members of audit committees. The Board has determined that Ms. Wachtel is our “audit committee financial expert,” as the SEC has defined that term in Item 407 of Regulation S-K. Please also see the report of the Audit Committee set forth elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The current Audit Committee charter is available for viewing on our website at ir.wavedancer.com/corporate-governance.

Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee met 6 times during 2021. This committee currently has three members, Jack L. Johnson (Chair), Paul B. Becker, and Mark T. Krial. Our Compensation Committee reviews, approves and makes recommendations regarding our compensation policies, practices and procedures to ensure that legal and fiduciary responsibilities of the Board are carried out and that such policies, practices and procedures contribute to our success. The Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility for determining and recommending the compensation of our Executive Officers and directors on the Board, and must conduct its decision-making process with respect to that issue without the executive officers present. The Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of executive officers when determining executive compensation. Our committee has not engaged paid compensation consultants to provide advice or recommendations in the last fiscal year. All members of the Compensation Committee qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market. The current Compensation Committee charter is available for viewing on our website at ir.wavedancer.com/corporate-governance.

Governance and Nominating Committee. Our Governance and Nominating Committee met 4 times during 2021. This committee currently has three members, Donald J. Tringali (Chair), William H. Pickle, and Bonnie K. Wachtel. Our Governance and Nominating Committee carries out the responsibilities delegated by the Board relating to the Company’s director nominations process and procedures, developing and maintaining the Company’s corporate governance policies and any related matters required by the federal securities laws. All members of the Compensation Committee qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by the NASDAQ Stock Market. The current Compensation Committee charter is available for viewing on our website at ir.wavedancer.com/corporate-governance.

Independence

We determine independence using the definitions set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These definitions define independence based on whether the director or a family member of the director has been employed by the Company in the past three years, how much compensation the director or family member of a director received from the Company, how much stock the director or a family member of the director owns in the Company, and whether the director or a family member of the director is associated with the Company’s independent auditor.

12

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

Our Board has determined that the following members of the Board qualify as independent:

Paul B. Becker
James C. DiPaula, Jr.
Mark T. Krial
Jack L. Johnson, Jr.
William H. Pickle
Linda L. Singh
Donald J. Tringali
Bonnie K. Wachtel

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

Board Leadership Structure

The Board recognizes that the leadership structure and combination or separation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles is driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time. As a result, the Board does not have a fixed policy regarding the separation of the offices of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman and believes that it should maintain the flexibility to select the Chairman and its leadership structure, from time to time, based on the criteria that it deems in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders. This has allowed the Board the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time.

Currently, G. James Benoit, Jr. serves as Chairman and CEO, which the Board believes best serves the interest of the Company and its stockholders at this time. Although the Board does not have a “lead” independent director, each of the Board Committees is led by an independent director.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board receives regular communication from our management regarding areas of significant risk to us, including operational, strategic, legal and regulatory, and financial risks. Certain risks that are under the purview of a particular Committee are monitored by that Committee, which then reports to the full Board as appropriate.

Director Nominations

The Board of Directors nominates directors for election at each Annual Meeting of Stockholders and appoints new directors to fill vacancies when they arise. The Governance and Nominating Committee has the responsibility to identify, evaluate, recruit, and recommend qualified candidates to the Board for nomination or election.

One of the Board’s objectives in evaluating director nominations is to ensure that its membership is composed of experienced and dedicated individuals with a diversity of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. The Governance and Nominating Committee will select nominees for director based on their character, judgment, diversity of experience, business acumen, and ability to act on behalf of all stockholders. We do not have a formal diversity policy. However, the Governance and Nominating Committee endeavors to have a Board representing diverse viewpoints as well as diverse expertise at policy-making levels in many areas, including business, accounting and finance, healthcare, manufacturing, marketing and sales, education, legal, government affairs, regulatory affairs, research and development, business development, international aspects of our business, technology, and in other areas that are relevant to our activities.

The Governance and Nominating Committee believes that nominees for director should have experience, such as those mentioned above, that may be useful to the Company and the Board, high personal and professional ethics, and the willingness and ability to devote sufficient time to carry out effectively their duties as directors. The Governance and Nominating Committee believes it appropriate for at least one, and, preferably, multiple, members of the Board of Directors to meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by rules of the SEC, and for a majority of the members of the Board of Directors to meet the definition of “independent director” as defined by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Governance and Nominating Committee also believes it appropriate for key members of our management to participate as members of the Board of Directors. Prior to each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Governance and Nominating Committee identifies nominees first by evaluating the current directors whose term will expire at the Annual Meeting and who are willing to continue in service. These candidates are evaluated based on the criteria described above, including as demonstrated by the candidate’s prior service as a director, and the needs of the Board with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors. In the event that a director does not wish to continue in service, the Governance and Nominating Committee determines not to re-nominate the director, or if a vacancy is created on the Board of Directors as a result of a resignation, an increase in the size of the Board or other event, the Committee will consider various candidates for Board membership, including those suggested by the Committee members, by other Board members, by any executive search firm engaged by the Committee or by stockholders. The Committee recommended the nominees for election included in this Proxy Statement.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview

The following sets forth certain information regarding our current executive officer who is not also a director.

Timothy G. Hannon, 58, has been Chief Financial Officer since September 2021. From June 2021 until his permanent appointment as CFO, Mr. Hannon had been a Managing Director at GlassRatner Advisory & Capital Group, LLC d/b/a B. Riley Advisory Services. From March 2017 until June 2021, Mr. Hannon served as VP Finance & Corporate Controller and then as Chief Financial Officer of Ready Pac Foods, Inc. (“RPF”) d/b/a Bonduelle Fresh Americas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bonduelle SA, a French publicly traded company. Prior thereto, Mr. Hannon was the chief financial officer for several privately held enterprises. He began his career with Arthur Andersen & Co. in New York where he was primarily assigned to audits of publicly traded companies. Mr. Hannon graduated from the State University of New York at Albany with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and is a certified public accountant.

We qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under the rules promulgated by the SEC, and we have elected to comply with the disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies. Accordingly, the executive compensation discussion herein is not intended to meet the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” disclosure required of companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee’s primary functions are to assist the Board in meeting its responsibilities with respect to oversight and determination of executive compensation and to review and make recommendations with respect to our major compensation plans, policies, and programs. All compensation for our executive officers is determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board, which is composed only of independent directors. The Compensation Committee is charged with the responsibility of reviewing executives’ performance and establishing the total compensation of our executive officers on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee often discusses compensation matters as part of regularly scheduled Board and committee meetings. The Compensation Committee administers our equity plans, and is responsible for approving grants of equity awards under such plans. The Compensation Committee acts under the authority of a written charter, which is available on our website at ir.wavedancer.com/corporate-governance.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation philosophy for our Named Executive Officers is the same as for all our employees and is governed by the following principles. The Compensation Committee’s compensation objectives are to:

● attract and retain highly qualified individuals with a demonstrated record of achievement;

● reward past performance;

● provide appropriate incentives for future performance; and

● align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of the stockholders.

17

WaveDancer, Inc. 2022 Proxy Statement

Each Named Executive Officer is a salaried employee, without any guaranteed incentives. Bonuses and stock option awards are at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Executive officers are eligible to participate in the WaveDancer 401(k) Pension and Profit Sharing Plan under the same terms and matching percentages as other salaried employees. Vacation accruals in excess of defined limits are automatically paid out to all salaried employees annually, and may be paid other times upon request. Executive officers may receive a perquisite benefit of no-cash-value long-term care insurance paid by the Company.

The Compensation Committee considers, with respect to each of our executive officers, the total compensation that may be awarded to determine final compensation. The Compensation Committee’s overall goal is to award compensation that is reasonable when all elements of potential compensation are considered. The Compensation Committee believes that cash compensation in the form of base salary and, although not guaranteed, an annual incentive bonus, provides the executives with short-term rewards for success in operations, and that long-term compensation through the award of stock options and other equity awards aligns the objectives of management with those of our stockholders with respect to long-term performance and success.

The Compensation Committee also has historically focused on our financial and working capital condition when making compensation decisions and approving performance objectives. The Compensation Committee will continue to periodically reassess the appropriate weighting of cash and equity compensation in light of the Company’s expenditures in connection with commercial operations and its working capital needs.

Executive Compensation

The Summary Compensation Table below sets forth compensation information for (i) those individuals who served as the Chief Executive Officer during 2021, (ii) up to two other individuals serving as executive officers on December 31, 2021 and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (ii) hereof but for the fact they were not serving as an executive officer on December 31, 2021 (collectively “Named Executive Officers”):

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) (“Section 16(a)”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires executive officers and Directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC and any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are registered. Executive officers, Directors and greater than ten percent (10%) beneficial owners are required by the SEC’s regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company, there were no officers, Directors and 10% beneficial owners who failed to file on a timely basis the forms required under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC’s proxy rules permit companies and intermediaries, such as brokers and banks, to satisfy delivery requirements for notices, Proxy Statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of such materials to those stockholders.  This method of delivery, often referred to as “householding,” should reduce the amount of duplicate information that stockholders receive and lower printing and mailing costs.  The Company and certain intermediaries will be householding notices, Proxy Statements and annual reports for stockholders of record in connection with our 2022 Annual Meeting.  This means that:

● Only one notice, Proxy Statement and annual report will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless you notify your broker or bank to the contrary;

● You can contact the Company by calling (703) 383-3000 or by writing to Corporate Secretary, WaveDancer, Inc., 12015 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway Ste 210, Fairfax, Virginia 22033, to request a separate copy of the notice, Proxy Statement and annual report for the 2022 Annual Meeting and for future meetings or, if you are currently receiving multiple copies, to receive only a single copy in the future, or you can contact your bank or broker to make a similar request; and

● You can request delivery of a single copy of the notice, Proxy Statement and annual report from your bank or broker if you share the same address as another Company stockholder and your bank or broker has determined to household proxy materials.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other business which will be presented to the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, proxies in the enclosed form will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS FOR DIRECTOR

To be considered for inclusion in the Proxy Statement relating to our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2023, stockholder proposals must be received no later than June 6, 2023, which is 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the mailing of this Proxy Statement.
