This proxy statement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include, but are not limited to, statements relating to expectations, and future performance or future events. These statements are based on current assumptions, expectations and information available to our management and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

You are advised to carefully consider these various risks, uncertainties and other factors.

Forward-looking statements are made as of today’s date, and we undertake no duty to update or revise them.

Stockholder Proposals

From time to time, stockholders present proposals that may be proper subjects for inclusion in a proxy statement and for consideration at an annual meeting of stockholders. To be included in the proxy statement for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, proposals must be received by us no later than December 31, 2026 and otherwise must comply with SEC rules governing inclusion of such proposals. Any proposal received after December 31, 2026 will be untimely, in accordance with SEC rules and regulations.

Matters (other than nominations of candidates for election as directors) may be brought before the meeting by stockholders only by complying with the procedure set forth in our Bylaws, which in summary requires notice in writing to our corporation secretary be delivered or mailed to, and received at, our principal executive office not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting;provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the 90 th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60 th day prior to such annual meeting or, in the event public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by us fewer than 70 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the close of business on the 10 th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. Each such stockholder notice shall include: (1) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business; (2) the class and number of shares of our common stock which are beneficially owned by the stockholder; and (3) a representation whether such stockholder intends or is part of a group that intends (a) to deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to stockholders holders of at least the percentage of the Company’s outstanding stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or (b) otherwise to solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal. Each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting shall include, among other items: (1) a brief description of the matter desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for bringing such matter before the annual meeting; (2) any material interest of the stockholder in such business; and (3) the text of the proposal or business. Stockholder proposals may be mailed or delivered to the Corporate Secretary, Neonode Inc., Karlavägen 100, 115 26 Stockholm, Sweden. For information regarding nominating candidates for election as directors, refer to description under “Committees of the Board of Directors” in the “Board Matters and Corporate Governance” section above.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice to the Company that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than April 13, 2026, and otherwise comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 and our Bylaws.

Householding

Under rules adopted by the SEC, we are permitted to deliver a single set of proxy materials to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if we believe the stockholders are members of the same family. This process, called householding, allows us to reduce the number of copies of these materials we must print and mail. Even if householding is used, each stockholder will continue to be entitled to submit a separate proxy or voting instruction.

If you share the same last name and address with another of our stockholders who also holds his or her shares directly, and you each wish to start householding for our annual reports and proxy statements, please contact our corporation secretary at our principal executive offices at Karlavägen 100, 115 26 Stockholm, Sweden, or by calling us at 46 (0) 70 29 58 519.

If you consent to householding, your election will remain in effect until you revoke it. Should you later revoke your consent, you will be sent separate copies of those documents that are mailed at least 30 days or more after receipt of your revocation.

In addition, some broker and bank record holders who hold shares of our common stock for beneficial owner street name holders may be participating in the practice of householding proxy statements and annual reports. If your household receives a single set of proxy materials for this year, but you prefer to receive your own copy, contact us as stated above, and we will promptly send you a copy. If a broker or bank holds shares of our common stock for your benefit and you share the same last name and address with another stockholder for whom a broker or bank holds shares of our common stock, and together both of you prefer to receive only a single set of our disclosure documents, contact your broker or bank as described in the voter instruction card or other information you received from your broker or bank.

Directions to Annual Meeting Location

All of our stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 21, 2026 may attend the 2026 Annual Meeting. “Street name” holders also are invited to attend the meeting; however, if you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or bank.

If you do attend the 2026 Annual Meeting at our office in Stockholm, most people will find it easiest to take the train or a taxi from the Stockholm Arlanda Airport. The train (the Arlanda express) takes approximately twenty minutes to the central station, and from there take a taxi to our office. If you would instead like to take the subway, the nearest station is Karlaplan. The address of our office where the 2026 Annual Meeting will be held is Karlavägen 100.

Other Matters

The Board of Directors knows of no matters to be presented for stockholder action at the 2026 Annual Meeting other than as set forth in this proxy statement. However, other matters may properly come before the 2026 Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. In the event that other matters properly come before the 2026 Annual Meeting, the proxy holder(s) will vote as recommended by the Board of Directors or, if no recommendation is given, at the discretion of the proxy holder(s).
