To Our Stockholders:
On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (the “Company,” “Firefly,” “our” or “we”), I cordially invite you to attend our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, December 27, 2024. To provide access to our stockholders regardless of geographic location, this year’s Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual-only meeting format atwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/AIFF2024
Details regarding the meeting, the business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting and information about Firefly that you should consider when you vote your shares are described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Notice”), the Proxy Statement and the proxy card. We urge you to review these materials carefully and to vote your shares electronically via the Internet or by completing and returning the proxy card or voting instruction form. Our Proxy Statement and the 2023 Annual Report are available atwww.proxyvote.com.
At the Annual Meeting, we will ask stockholders to elect three Class I directors to our Board with terms expiring in 2027 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, we will ask stockholders to ratify the appointment of Marcum Canada, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. We will also hold a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers and a non-binding, advisory vote to approve the frequency of holding an advisory vote on executive compensation. The Board recommends a vote “for” each of the first three proposals and the fifth proposal, and a vote of “every three years” for the frequency of holding a non-binding, advisory vote on executive compensation. Such other business will be transacted as may properly come before the Annual Meeting.
We hope you will be able to attend the Annual Meeting. Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, your vote is important. We encourage you to vote your shares electronically via the Internet or by completing and returning your proxy card prior to the Annual Meeting, in order for your shares to be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, trust, bank or other nominee, and you receive these materials through your broker or through another intermediary, please complete and return the materials in accordance with the instructions provided to you by such broker or other intermediary or contact your broker directly in order to obtain a proxy issued to you by your nominee holder to attend the meeting and vote in person. Failure to do so may result in your shares not being eligible to be voted by proxy at the Annual Meeting.
We urge you to read the accompanying Notice and Proxy Statement carefully and vote in accordance with the Board’s recommendations on all proposals.
Thank you for your continued support of Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.
Sincerely,
/s/ Greg Lipschitz
Greg Lipschitz,
Executive Chairman of the Board
