誰が私の代理を求めていますか?

 

私たちの 取締役会は会議のために委任状を募集しています。

 

ミーティングに投票できる人は誰ですか?

プロキシカードとは何ですか?

 

カードを使用して、リロン・ベントヴィムとメイダン・ロスブルムのそれぞれを代表者として任命することができます。プロキシカードを記入して返送することで、この人物にプロキシカードの指示に従って会議であなたの株を投票する権限を与えることになります。これにより、会議に出席していなくても株主総会であなたの株が投票されます。会議に出席する予定がある場合でも、予定が変更される可能性があるため、会議の日付の前にプロキシカードを記入して返送することを強くお勧めします。プロキシカードに記載されていない投票案件が会議で提案された場合、プロキシは、あなたのプロキシに従って、最善の判断で株を投票します。

ブローカーを通じて保有している株主非投票株式

 

ブローカーの選挙権なしの株式とは、株式仲介業者がその問題に投票の裁量権を持っていない株式であり、顧客からの投票指示を受けていないものです。 お客様の記録を保有するブローカーは、通常の問題については投票権を有していませんが、お客様からの投票指示を受けた場合は、投票権を行使する権利があります。 2025年6月30日をもって終了する会計年度におけるターナー、ストーン社の独立した公認会計財務会社への任命の批准案は、「通常」の問題と見なされます。 その他の問題は「通常でない」問題と見なされます。 したがって、ブローカーは、お客様からの指示なしでのみ、ターナー、ストーン社を開示登録された独立した公認会計財務会社として批准することに関する未指示の株式に関してのみ投票権を行使する権利を有します。

 

もし私の銀行、ブローカーまたは他の代理人が私の株式を「ストリートネーム」(註:自己名義ではなく、代理人名義で保管)で所有している場合、私の株式を投票してくれますか?

 

「非日常的な」事項に関しては、あなたの指示なしには行われません。あなたのブローカー、銀行、その他の代理人は、「非日常的な」提案について、あなたがどのように投票するか指示しない限りあなたの株式に投票することを許可されます。適用される取引所の規則によると、日常的な事項については、指示をしなかった場合に、ブローカー、銀行、その他の代理人はあなたの株式に対して投票する裁量権を持っています。当社の株主によって投票される提案は、当社の独立した公認会計士会計事務所の指名の承認を除き、「非日常的な」事項であり、そのため、ブローカー、銀行、その他の代理人はあなたの指示がない限りこれらの提案に投票することはできません。2025年6月30日終了の会計年度に向けて当社の独立した公認会計士会計事務所としてのTurner, Stone & Company, L.L.Pの任命の承認は「日常的な」事項と見なされます。したがって、ブローカー、銀行、その他の代理人は、Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.Pを当社の独立した公認会計士会計事務所として任命することの承認について、指示されていない株式についてしか投票する権利を有します。したがって、あなたは、どのように株式を投票するかをブローカー、銀行、または代理人に指示することが重要です。

 

銀行、ブローカー、または他の代理人を介して「ストリートネーム」で保有している場合、どのようにして株式を投票できますか?

 

銀行、ブローカー、または他の代理人を介して有益な所有者として株を所有している場合は、銀行、ブローカー、または他の代理人から投票の方法に関する指示を受け取るはずです。注意して彼らの指示に従ってください。ミーティングで株式を投票するための資料をお手元にお届けするための締め切りの前に、あなたが指示を提供することが必要です。

会議と投票に関する一般情報

 

われわれは、あなたがグリムプス・グループ株式会社の株主であることを受けて、取締役会による議決権の委任を担当する一環として、2024年12月13日に開催される株主総会に使用するために、この代理声明を提供しています。この代理声明は、株主に本日、2024年10月21日頃に初めて提供されます。この代理声明には、株主が株主総会で投票するか、その代理人に投票方法を指示するために知っておく必要がある情報が提供されています。

 

会議の日時と場所   会議は2024年12月13日午前9時30分に、ESt、15 West 38兆。St.、4階、ニューヨーク、NY 10018で開催されます。または、会議が繰り返されたり延期されたりする別の日、時刻、場所で
     
会議の目的   当社は、株主に以下の提案について考慮し、投票を求める予定です。

 

  1. Re-elect two Class I directors to the Board for a three-year term expiring at the 2027 annual meeting of stockholders;
     
  2. To hold an advisory vote on executive compensation;
     
  3. Ratify the appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025;
     
  4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

 

Record Date and Voting Power   Our Board fixed the close of business on October 21, 2024, as the record date for the determination of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to notice of, and to vote on, the matters presented at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 18,166,217 shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote.

 

Quorum and Required Vote  

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the meeting if the holders of one-third (33 1/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Meeting is represented in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., shares held by brokers on behalf of their customers, which may not be voted on certain matters because the brokers have not received specific voting instructions from their customers with respect to such matters) will be counted solely for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Meeting.

 

Proposal 1 (re-election of two Class I directors) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on proposal no. 1.

 

5
 

 

   

Proposal No. 2 (Say-on-Pay Proposal) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on proposal no. 2.

 

Proposal No. 3 (ratification of appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending June 30, 2025) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting by the holders of shares of common stock entitled to vote. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on proposal no. 3. There will be no broker non-votes with respect to proposal no. 3 since proposal no. 3 is a “routine” matter.

     
Revocability of Proxies   Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before it is voted. A proxy may be revoked by (A) sending to our Secretary, at The Glimpse Group, Inc., 15 West 38th St., 12th Fl, New York, NY 10018, either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy or (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares, or (B) by attending the Meeting and voting in person.
     
Proxy Solicitation Costs   The cost of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Meeting, will be borne by the Company. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding shares of common stock is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly. The solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram, and personal solicitation by officers, directors, and other employees of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid to such individuals.

 

No Right of Appraisal   None of Nevada law, our Certificate of Incorporation, or our Bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with any of the proposals to be voted upon at the Meeting. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent on any of the proposals presented at the Meeting.
     
Who Can Answer Your Questions about Voting Your Shares   You can contact the Company’s Chief Financial Officer & Chief Operating Officer, Maydan Rothblum, at (917) 292-2685 or via email maydan@theglimpsegroup.com or by sending a letter to the offices of the Company at 15 West 38th St., 12th Fl, New York, NY 10018, with any questions about proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — RE-ELECTION OF CLASS I DIRECTORS

 

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, the total number of directors constituting our Board is fixed from time to time by the Board. The current authorized number of directors is fixed at seven. The Board is divided into three classes, each containing as nearly as possible an equal number of directors. The current term of office of our Class I directors expires at the Meeting, while the term for our Class II directors will expire at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders and the term for our Class III directors expires at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has nominated, and our Board has approved the nomination of, Ian Charles and Tamar Elkeles, both current Class I directors, to stand for re-election as class I directors of the Company. Each Class I director elected at the Meeting will serve a three-year term expiring at our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified as a Class I director, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. At the Meeting, proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of individuals than the two nominees named in this proxy statement.

 

If, for any reason, any nominee becomes unavailable for re-election prior to the Meeting, the proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee(s) as the Board may propose.

 

We believe that the skills, experiences, and qualifications of our directors provide our Board with the expertise and experience necessary to advance the interests of our stockholders. While our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by each of our directors, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a variety of criteria to evaluate the qualifications and skills necessary for each member of the Board. In addition to the individual attributes of each of our Class I directors described below, we believe that our directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values, consistent with our longstanding values and standards. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business, exhibit commitment to enhancing stockholder value, and have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on their past experiences.

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

 

Board and Committee Independence

 

The Board determines whether each of our directors is considered independent. For a director to be considered independent, the director must meet the bright-line independence standards under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board must also affirmatively determine that, in its opinion, each director has no relationship that would interfere with the directors’ exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the director’s responsibilities. In addition to the Nasdaq listing standards, the Board will consider all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. The Board has affirmatively determined that each of Ian Charles, Lemuel Amen, Alexander Ruckdaeschel, Tamar Elkeles and Jeff Enslin, is independent in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards. Our Board has also affirmatively determined that each member of our Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee And Compensation Committee is an independent director.

The Company expects the directors to attend the Meeting either in person or by conference call.

 

Board Committees

 

The Board has created four standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and a Strategy Committee. The Board has adopted a formal, written charter for each of the committees under which each committee operates.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

In October 2016, our stockholders approved our Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which is administered by our Compensation Committee. Pursuant to the Plan, we are authorized to grant options and other equity awards to employees of the Company, non-employee directors or key consultants to the Company and any person who has been offered employment by the Company, provided that such prospective employee may not receive any payment or exercise any right relating to an award until such person has commenced employment with the Company (the “Eligible Persons”). The purchase price of each share of common stock purchasable under an award issued pursuant to the Plan, shall be determined by our Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, at the time of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the fair market of such share of common stock on the date the award is granted, subject to adjustment. Our Compensation Committee also has sole authority to set the terms of all awards at the time of grant.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of our common stock shall be set aside and reserved for issuance. In addition, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan, the share reserve will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year until (and including) January 1, 2030 (each, an “Evergreen Date”) in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding on the December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date (the “Evergreen Increase”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Board may act prior to the Evergreen Date of a given year to provide that there will be no Evergreen Increase for such year, or that the Evergreen Increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of our common stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any common stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. Pursuant to these provisions, effective January 1, 2024 the number of shares of our common stock set aside for the Plan automatically increased to a total of approximately 12.2 million.

 

Under the Plan, an Eligible Person may be granted options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, phantom stock, sale phantom stock, stock granted as a bonus, a performance award, other stock-based awards or an annual incentive award, together with any related right or interest.

 

The term of each award under the Plan shall be for such period as may be determined by our compensation committee, subject to the express limitations set forth in the Plan.

 

Unless earlier terminated by our Board, the Plan will remain in effect until such time as no shares of common stock remain available for delivery under the Plan and the Company has no further rights or obligations under the Plan with respect to outstanding awards under the Plan.

Risk Management

 

The Company does not believe risks arising from its compensation policies and practices for its employees are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

SECTION 16(A) COMPLIANCE

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires our directors, officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other of our equity securities. To our knowledge, based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to us, as of the date of this proxy, all Section 16(a) filings applicable to officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders were made.

 

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

Except as otherwise indicated below, the following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the Record Date by:

 

each of our current directors;
   
each of our named executive officers;

 

17
 

 

each person or group of affiliated persons known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock; and
   
all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Common stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or settlement of options, warrants, restricted stock units or other rights to acquire common stock that are currently exercisable, convertible or subject to settlement, or exercisable, convertible or subject to settlement within 60 days of the Record Date are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the holder for the purpose of computing share and percentage ownership of that holder, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as indicated in the footnotes to the table below, and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each of the individuals and entities named below is c/o The Glimpse Group, Inc., 15 West 38th St., 12th Floor, New York, NY 10018. The percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 18,166,217 shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 - ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The SEC has adopted final rules requiring most public companies to provide stockholders with periodic advisory (non-binding) votes on executive compensation, also referred to as “say-on-pay” proposals. The Company presents the following proposal, which gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s compensation for the named executive officers listed under “Executive Compensation” in this proxy statement, by voting for or against the following resolution.

 

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby approved.”

 

Pursuant to Rule 14a-21 of the Exchange Act, this vote will not be binding on the Board or the Compensation Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board, creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board or any additional fiduciary duty by the Board or restricting or limiting the ability of stockholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee, however, may take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE

FOR” THE RESOLUTION IN THE SAY-ON-PAY PROPOSAL

 

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

While stockholder ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accountants is not required by our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, or otherwise, the Audit Committee and management believe that it is desirable and a matter of good corporate practice for stockholders to ratify the Company’s selection of the independent registered public accountants. The Audit Committee has selected Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. Therefore, we are requesting that stockholders approve the proposal to ratify the appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P as our independent registered public accounting firm.

 

The Audit Committee values the input of our stockholders. In the event that stockholders do not approve this proposal, the Audit Committee may reconsider this appointment.

 

We have been advised by Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P that neither the firm nor any of its associates had any relationship during the last fiscal year with our Company other than the usual relationship that exists between independent registered public accountant firms and their clients. Representatives of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P are not expected to attend the Meeting in person and therefore are not expected to be available to respond to any questions. As a result, representatives of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P will not make a statement at the Meeting.

 

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 21, 2023, Hoberman & Lesser, CPAs LLP (“Hoberman”) resigned as independent registered public accounting firm of the Company effective as of December 20, 2023.

 

Hoberman’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2023, there were no (i) disagreements (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Hoberman on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of such a disagreement in connection with its audit reports on the Company’s financial statements for such years, or (ii) reportable events (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

On December 20, 2023, the Company appointed Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of December 20, 2023. The Audit Committee approved the appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P.

 

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and the subsequent interim period through December 20, 2023, neither the Company, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that may be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Board Recommendation

 

The Board recommends that you vote “for” ratifying the appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the FISCAL year endING June 30, 2025.

 

Fees Paid to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The following is a summary of the fees billed or expected to be billed to us for professional services rendered with respect to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

 

   For the Year Ended 
   June 30, 
   2024   2023 
Audit fees  $108,000   $158,000 
Audit fees – benefit plan   20,000     
Tax fees   13,000

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

 

Our Board has adopted a policy governing the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to our Company by our independent auditors. Under the policy, the Audit Committee has pre-approved the provision by our independent auditors of specific audit, audit related, tax and other non-audit services as being consistent with auditor independence. Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee must be submitted to the Audit Committee by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the Board as to whether, in the independent auditor’s view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

 

The Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the independence of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P.

 

Audit Committee Report

 

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee our financial reporting activities. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing with both our independent registered public accounting firm and management, our accounting and reporting principles, policies and practices, and our accounting, financial, and operating controls and staff. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed our audited financial statements with management, and has discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and the SEC. Additionally, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm, as required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. Based upon such review and discussion, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to stockholders’ ratification, the appointment of Turner, Stone & Company, L.L.P. to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.

 

Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee,

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

 

Stockholder Director Nominations or Other Stockholder Proposals

 

Our bylaws provide that, for stockholder nominations of persons for election to our Board or other stockholder proposals to be considered at an annual meeting of our stockholders, (i) a stockholder must give timely notice thereof in proper written form to our Secretary at The Glimpse Group, Inc., 15 West 38th St., 12th Fl, New York, NY 10018, not later than the close of business 90 days, nor earlier than the close of business 120 days, prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting, and (ii) in the case of business other than nominations, such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. However, our bylaws also provide that in the event the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 90 days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by a stockholder must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Any nomination must include all information relating to the nominee that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in election contests or is otherwise required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, the person’s written consent to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected, such other information as is required under our bylaws, and such other information as we might reasonably require to determine the eligibility of the person to serve as a director. As to other business, the notice must include a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the text of the proposal, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting, any material interest of such stockholder (and the beneficial owner) in the proposal, and such other information as is required under our bylaws.

 

In addition, to make a nomination or proposal, (i) the stockholder must be entitled to vote at the meeting on the election of directors or such business, as applicable, (ii) the stockholder must have held such stockholder’s shares in the Company for no less than one year prior to the date of the proposal, (iii) such stockholder’s shares must represent no less than 1% of our securities entitled to be voted on the proposal or have an aggregate value no less than $2,000, and (iv) such stockholder must be a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to our Secretary.

 

The foregoing requirements may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before our stockholders at an annual meeting.

 

Deadline for Submission of Stockholder Proposals for 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

 

For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Such proposals must be received by the Company at its offices at 15 West 38th St., 12th Fl, New York, NY 10018, no later than 6:00 p.m. on June 30, 2025.

 

If we are not notified of a stockholder proposal within a reasonable time prior to the time we send our proxy statement for our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our Board will have discretionary authority to vote on the stockholder proposal, even though the stockholder proposal is not discussed in the proxy statement. In order to curtail any controversy as to the date on which a stockholder proposal was received by us, it is suggested that stockholder proposals be submitted by certified mail, return receipt requested, and be addressed to The Glimpse Group, Inc., 15 West 38th St., 12th Floor, New York, NY 10018. The foregoing shall not affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in our proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act nor grant any stockholder a right to have any nominee included in our proxy statement.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

 

Proxy Solicitation

 

The solicitation of proxies is made on behalf of the Board and we will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Clear Trust, LLC has been engaged to assist in the proxy solicitation. Proxies may be solicited through the mail and through telephonic or telegraphic communications to, or by meetings with, stockholders or their representatives by our directors, officers, and other employees who will receive no additional compensation therefor. We may also retain a proxy solicitation firm to assist us in obtaining proxies by mail from record and beneficial holders of shares for the Meeting. If we retain a proxy solicitation firm, we expect to pay such firm reasonable and customary compensation for its services, including out-of-pocket expenses.

 

We request persons such as brokers, nominees, and fiduciaries holding stock in their names for others, or holding stock for others who have the right to give voting instructions, to forward proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of the proxy. We will reimburse such persons for their reasonable expenses.

 

Annual Report

 

The Annual Report is being sent with this proxy statement to each stockholder and is available at https://ir.theglimpsegroup.com/corpgov/ as well as on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Households

 

Only one copy of this proxy statement is being delivered to multiple registered stockholders who share an address unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. A separate form of proxy and a separate notice of the Meeting are being included for each account at the shared address. Registered stockholders who share an address and would like to receive a separate copy of this proxy statement, or have questions regarding the householding process, may contact ClearTrust, LLC, by calling +1-813-235-4490, or via email inbox@cleartrusttransfer.com or by forwarding a written request addressed to ClearTrust, LLC, 16540 Pointe Village Drive, Ste 210, Lutz, FL 33558.

 

Promptly upon request, a separate copy of this proxy statement will be sent. By contacting ClearTrust, LLC, registered stockholders sharing an address can also (i) notify the Company that the registered stockholders wish to receive separate annual reports to stockholders, proxy statements, and/or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, as applicable, in the future or (ii) request delivery of a single copy of annual reports to stockholders and proxy statements in the future if registered stockholders at the shared address are receiving multiple copies.

 

Many brokers, brokerage firms, broker/dealers, banks, and other holders of record have also instituted “householding” (delivery of one copy of materials to multiple stockholders who share an address). If your family has one or more “street name” accounts under which you beneficially own shares of our common stock, you may have received householding information from your broker, brokerage firm, broker/dealer, bank, or other nominee in the past. Please contact the holder of record directly if you have questions, require additional copies of this proxy statement or our Annual Report or wish to revoke your decision to household and thereby receive multiple copies. You should also contact the holder of record if you wish to institute householding.
