Virtual Annual Meeting

We are embracing technology to provide expanded access, improved communication, reduced environmental impact and cost savings for our stockholders and the Company. Hosting a virtual meeting enables increased stockholder attendance and participation since stockholders can participate and ask questions from any location around the world and provides us an opportunity to give thoughtful responses. In addition, we intend that the virtual meeting format provide stockholders a similar level of transparency to the traditional in-person meeting format, and we take steps to ensure such an experience. Our stockholders will be afforded the same opportunities to participate at the virtual Annual Meeting as they would at an in-person annual meeting of stockholders.

Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares

On March 5, 2026, we filed a Certificate of Change to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles”) ,with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the shares of our common stock either issued and outstanding, held by us as treasury stock and authorized, effective as of 12:01 a.m. (Eastern time) on March 9, 2026 (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All common stock share and per share amounts in this proxy statement have been adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split unless otherwise stated.

Only stockholders that owned our common stock at the close of business on May 22, 2026, the record date for the Annual Meeting, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. On the record date, 2,848,540 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Each share of our common stock that you own entitles you to one vote on each matter to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. We will have a quorum to conduct the business of the Annual Meeting if the holders of at least 35% of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote are present, in person via the internet webcast or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., shares of common stock held by a broker, bank or other agent that are represented at the meeting, but which the broker, bank or other agent is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

Proposals for the Annual Meeting

The following proposals will be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

·To elect three (3) Class III director nominees, Gregory R. Reyes, M.D., Ph.D., Tamara A. Favorito and Gregory D. Gorgas, to serve on the Board until the Company’s 2029 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, as further described in Proposal No. 1 in the Company’s proxy statement;
·To approve an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles”), to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), from 166,666,667 to 500,000,000; and
·To transact such other business as may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

As of the date of this proxy statement, our management and Board were not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Voting Requirements to Approve Each Proposal

*Proposal 1 – Election of Directors.*Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person via the internet webcast or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present. If a quorum is present, each nominee for director with the largest number of “FOR” votes present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at a meeting at which a quorum is present will be elected as a director. With respect to each nominee for director, you may (1) vote “FOR” the election of such nominee or (2) “WITHHOLD” the authority to vote for the election of such nominee. Because the outcome of this proposal will be determined by a plurality vote, any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee, whether as a result of choosing to “WITHHOLD” authority to vote or a broker non-vote, will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

*Proposal 2 – Increase Authorized Common Stock.*The proposal to amend our Articles to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 166,666,667 to 500,000,000, requires the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the total votes cast live via the internet or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. This proposal is considered a routine or “discretionary” matter on which your broker, bank or other agent will be able to vote on your behalf even if it does not receive instructions from you.

Voting Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in one of four ways:

·Vote via the internet. You may submit a proxy over the Internet at https://www.proxyvote.com/ 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will need the control number included on your proxy card or mail notification about the Annual Meeting;
·Vote by telephone. You may submit a proxy using a touch-tone telephone by calling 1‑866‑804‑9616, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will need the control number included on your proxy card or email notification about the Annual Meeting;
·Vote by Mail. If you received printed proxy materials, you may direct how your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by completing, signing, and dating each proxy card received and returning it in the prepaid envelope. Sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy card. Your completed, signed and dated proxy card must be received prior to the Annual Meeting; or
·Vote during the Annual Meeting live via the internet by following the instructions posted at https://www.proxyvote.com/.

Votes submitted via the internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 16, 2026. Submitting your proxy via the internet, by telephone or by mail will not affect your right to vote during the Annual Meeting live via the internet. For additional information, please see “Revocability of Proxies” below.

Voting Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent

Most beneficial owners holding stock in “street name” will receive instructions for voting their shares from their broker, bank or other agent. A number of brokers and banks participate in a program provided through Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) that allows stockholders to grant their proxy to vote shares by means of the telephone or internet. If your shares are held in an account with a broker or bank participating in the Broadridge program, you may vote by telephone by calling the number shown on the voting instruction form received from your broker or bank, or you may vote via the internet at Broadridge’s website at http://www.proxyvote.com, using the control number provided by your broker, bank or other agent. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares at the Annual Meeting live via the internet unless you obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee and submit it when you register to attend the meeting.

Revocability of Proxies

If you are a stockholder of record, once you have submitted your proxy by mail, telephone or internet, you may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting. You may revoke your proxy in any one of the following three ways:

·You may submit another proxy marked with a later date (which automatically revokes your earlier proxy) by mail or telephone or via the internet by the applicable deadline as described above;
·You may provide written notice that you wish to revoke your proxy to our Secretary at Artelo Biosciences, Inc., Attn: Secretary, 505 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite 160, Solana Beach, CA 92075 by no later than the close of business on Thursday, July 16, 2026; or
·You may attend the Annual Meeting and submit your vote live via the internet. Attendance at the Annual Meeting live via the internet will not, by itself, cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked.

If you are a beneficial owner holding shares in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent in accordance with the instructions they provided (see “Voting Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent” above).

Tabulation of Votes

A representative from Broadridge will act as inspector of elections and tabulate the votes at the Annual Meeting. All shares represented by valid proxies received before the Annual Meeting will be voted. If you submit a valid proxy containing instructions regarding how to vote with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your shares will be voted in accordance with those instructions. If you submit a valid proxy with no instructions, then your shares will be voted by the individuals we have designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting in the following manner:

·“FOR” the election of each of the three (3) Class III director nominees named in this proxy statement; and
·“FOR” the approval of an amendment to our Articles to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 166,666,667 to 500,000,000.

In addition, the individuals that we have designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting will have discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Voting Results

Preliminary voting results are expected to be announced at the Annual Meeting. Voting results will be tallied by the inspector of elections and reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) that we will file with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting. If the voting results reported in the Form 8-K are preliminary, we will subsequently file an amendment to the Form 8-K to report the final voting results within four business days of the date on which the final voting results are known.

Proxy Solicitation

This proxy solicitation is made by the Board and we will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting, including costs associated with the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the proxy materials and any additional information furnished to stockholders. We will make available copies of the proxy materials to brokers, banks and other agents holding shares of our common stock in their name for the benefit of others for forwarding to the beneficial owners. We may reimburse such brokers, banks or other agents for their costs associated with forwarding the proxy materials to the beneficial owners. We do not plan to retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur.

Householding of Proxy Materials

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding,” under which we can deliver a single copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, the proxy statement and annual report, to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we receive contrary instructions from one or more stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability and, if applicable, the proxy statement and annual report, to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of next year’s Notice of Internet Availability or proxy statement and annual report, as applicable, you may contact us as follows:

Artelo Biosciences, Inc.

Attention: Investor Relations

505 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite 160

Solana Beach, CA 92075

Tel: (858) 925-7049

Street name stockholders may contact their broker, bank or other nominee to request information about householding.

Stockholder Proposals or Director Nominations for the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders

If a stockholder would like us to consider including a proposal in our proxy statement for our 2027 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, then the proposal must be received by our secretary at our principal executive offices on or before February 5, 2027. In addition, stockholder proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to:

Artelo Biosciences, Inc.

Attention: Secretary

505 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite 160

Solana Beach, CA 92075

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal or nominate a director at an annual meeting, but do not seek to include the proposal or director nominee in our proxy statement. In order to be properly brought before our 2027 annual meeting, the stockholder must provide timely written notice to our secretary, at our principal executive offices, and any such proposal or nomination must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. The written notice must contain the information specified in our bylaws. To be timely, a stockholder’s written notice must be received by our secretary at our principal executive offices:

·no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on March 19, 2027, and
·no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on April 18, 2027.

In the event that we hold our 2027 annual meeting by more than 25 days from the one-year anniversary of this year’s annual meeting, then such written notice must be received by our secretary at our principal executive offices:

·no earlier than 8:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the 120th day prior to the day of our 2026 annual meeting, and
·no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the later of the 90th day prior to the day of the annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than 100 days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by us.

In addition to satisfying the requirements of our bylaws, including the earlier notice deadlines set forth above and therein, to comply with universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees (other than our nominees) must also provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 of the Exchange Act, no later than May 18, 2027.

If a stockholder who has notified us of his, her or its intention to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders does not present his, her or its proposal at such annual meeting, then we are not required to present the proposal for a vote at such annual meeting.
