PROXY STATEMENT
SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
OF
THINSPACE TECHNOLOGY, INC.
The accompanying proxy is solicited on
behalf of the Board of Directors of Thinspace Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at its Special Meeting of Stockholders
(the “Special Meeting”) to be held on Monday, February 1, 2016 at 11 a.m., local time, at 700
North King Street, Wilmington, DE 19801. The Company will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. Directors, officers
and employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile or in person for no additional compensation. The Company
will reimburse banks, brokerage firms, proxy solicitors, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses
incurred by them in sending proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares.
The Board of Directors has fixed the close
of business on Monday, February 1, 2016, as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
the Special Meeting or at any postponement or adjournment thereof. There were 494,610,160 shares of our common stock, $.001 par
value, outstanding on February 1, 2016, each of which is entitled to one vote for each share on the matters to be voted upon.
Stockholders are being asked to vote on
one proposal at the Company’s Special Meeting. The proposal to be voted on is as follows:
Proposal Number 1 — To
adopt the proposed amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of common stock by Three Billion (3,000,000,000) shares as proposed herein. The Board of Directors recommends that
you vote “FOR” this proposal.
For Proposal Number 1, you may vote
“FOR” or “AGAINST” the increase in authorized shares, or you can “ABSTAIN.” If you “ABSTAIN”
as to Proposal Number 1, the abstention will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the proposal.
Shares of our common stock represented
by proxies in the form enclosed that are properly executed and returned to us and not revoked will be voted as specified in the
proxy by the stockholder. In the absence of contrary instructions, or in instances where no specifications are made, the shares
will be voted:
(i) FOR adoption of the
amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock
by Three Billion (3,000,000,000) as described herein under “Proposal Number 1 — Amendment to Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to Increase Authorized Shares of Common Stock;”
Any stockholder signing and delivering
a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted by delivering to the Company’s corporate secretary a written revocation
or a duly executed proxy bearing a date later than the date of the proxy being revoked. Any stockholder attending the Special Meeting
in person may revoke his, her or its proxy and vote his, her or its shares at the Special Meeting.
How to vote shares at our Special Meeting.
This year company stockholders may cast
their vote in any of the following ways:
Vote by Mail. Any stockholder that
receives proxy materials by mail can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope
provided. If the envelope is missing, such a stockholder can mail the completed proxy card or voting instruction card to Vote Processing,
c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. The completed card must be received no later than March 25,
2016.
Vote by Electronic Means. Any stockholder
that receives proxy materials can vote by going to www.proxyvote.com up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 27, 2016.
Vote by Telephone. Any stockholder
that receives proxy materials can vote by calling 800-690-6903 up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on March 27, 2016.
Voting at the Special Meeting.
All company stockholders are invited to attend the Special Meeting in person. Any stockholder that attends the meeting in person
may deliver a completed proxy card in person or vote by completing a ballot, which will be available at the meeting. However, each
stockholder intending to vote in person at the Special Meeting should note that if his, her or its shares are held in the name
of a bank, broker or other nominee, such stockholder must obtain a legal proxy, executed in his, her or its favor, from the holder
of record to be able to vote at the Special Meeting. Stockholders should allow enough time prior to the Special Meeting to obtain
this proxy from the holder of record, if needed.
The shares represented by the proxy cards
received, properly marked, dated, signed and not revoked, will be voted at the Special Meeting.
QUORUM, REQUIRED VOTES AND METHOD
OF TABULATION
Consistent with Delaware law and the Company’s
amended and restated by-laws, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a particular matter, present in person or represented
by proxy, constitutes a quorum as to such matter. The Company will appoint one or more election inspectors for the meeting to count
votes cast by proxy or in person at the Special Meeting.
If you hold shares beneficially in street
name and do not provide your broker or nominee with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.”
Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the
beneficial owner and instructions have not been given. In tabulating the voting result for any proposal for which the required
vote is based on the number of shares present, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to vote on that
proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of Proposal Numbers 1 provided a quorum is established.
What vote is required to approve the proposal?
The amendment of the charter to increase
the Company’s authorized capital, which is Proposal Number 1, will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by
the stockholders entitled to vote at the election that are either present in person or represented by proxy.
Management does not know of any matters
to be presented at this year’s Special Meeting other than those set forth in this proxy statement and in the notice accompanying
this proxy statement. Stockholders will have no appraisal rights under Delaware law with respect to any of the matters expected
to be voted on at the Special Meeting. If other matters should properly come before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote such
matters in their discretion. Any stockholder has the right to revoke his, her or its proxy at any time until it is voted.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table shows the number of
shares of our common stock beneficially owned, as of February 1, 2016, by (i) each of our directors, (ii) each of our
named executive officers, (iii) all of our directors and executive officers as a group, and (iv) all those known by us
to be to a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Company’s common stock. In general, “beneficial ownership”
refers to shares that an individual or entity has the power to vote or dispose of, and any rights to acquire common stock that
are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of February 1, 2016 Unless otherwise indicated, we believe
that each person named below, based on information furnished by such owners, holds sole investment and voting power with respect
to such shares, subject to community property laws where applicable. We calculated percentage ownership in accordance with the
rules of the SEC. The percentage of common stock beneficially owned is based on 494,610,160 shares outstanding as of February
1, 2016. In addition, shares issuable pursuant to options, restricted stock units or other convertible securities that may be acquired
within 60 days of February 1, 2016 are deemed to be issued and outstanding and have been treated as outstanding in calculating
and determining the beneficial ownership and percentage ownership of those persons possessing those securities, but not for any
other persons.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 1
Amendment to Restated Certificate
of Incorporation to Increase Authorized Shares of Common Stock
At the recommendation of our Board of
Directors, we are seeking approval to amend the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of
common stock authorized for issuance from 500,000,000 shares to 3,500,000,000 shares. Our Board of Directors expects that the Company
will need to raise significant additional funds in order to continue operations. At present, the Company has fewer than 5,400,000
authorized shares of common stock left available for issuance. Historically the Company has self-funded most of its operations
through the sale of common stock. Failure to increase the number of shares available for issuance could therefore have a material
and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to raise capital in the future and continue in operation. Accordingly, the Board
of Directors approved, by unanimous resolution, an amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase
the Company’s authorized capital to 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock, subject to obtaining requisite stockholder approval.
These shares may be used to raise additional
capital to fund the Company’s working capital and other corporate needs, for future acquisitions of assets, programs or businesses,
and for other corporate purposes. However, as of the mailing date of these proxy materials, the Company has no immediate plans
to issue these additional shares of common stock, whether to raise additional capital, to acquire additional businesses or assets,
or otherwise.
If our stockholders approve this proposal,
our Board of Directors will proceed to amend and restate the portions of Article III of our restated certificate of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 total shares to 3,500,000,000 total shares.
At present, the Company has 500,000,000
shares designated as common stock. If the Company’s stockholders approve this proposal number 1, the Board of Directors will
have authority to file with the Secretary of State of Delaware an amendment to the Company’s restated certificate of incorporation
to designate the total number of authorized shares of common stock to 3,500,000,000. Upon approval and following this filing with
the Secretary of State of Delaware, the amendment will become effective on the date it is filed, or on such other date as is indicated
in the amendment filing. The amendment proposed by the Company to Article III of its restated certificate of incorporation (assuming
approval of Proposal number 1) is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix 1.
At the time of any future capital raising
transactions or in connection with any future share issuance, the Company will evaluate the applicable requirements for such action.
We intend to comply with all requirements for the issuance of these shares, including all disclosure and other requirements pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act.
The following chart summarizes the Company’s
outstanding shares of common stock and rights convertible or exercisable as of February 1, 2016 (not giving effect to this Proposal
number 1 to increase the Company’s authorized capital by 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock):
Authorized Shares of
Common Stock |
|

Outstanding Shares
of Common Stock |

Outstanding
Convertible Securities,
Equity Incentive
Plans, and Other
Reserve |

|
500,000,000 |
|
494,610,160 |
|
5,389,840 |
|
0 |
|
Upon issuance, the additional shares of
authorized common stock would have rights identical to the currently outstanding shares of common stock. Adoption of the amendment
to the restated certificate of incorporation would not have any immediate effect on the proportionate voting power or other rights
of our existing stockholders.
To the extent that the additional authorized
shares of capital stock are issued in the future, they may decrease existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership in
the Company and, depending on the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to the voting rights of existing stockholders
and have a negative effect on the market price of the common stock. Current stockholders have no preemptive or similar rights,
which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of capital stock in order to maintain
their proportionate ownership of the Company.
The Company could also use the additional
shares of capital stock for potential strategic transactions including, among other things, acquisitions, spin-offs, strategic
partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, divestitures, business combinations, and investments, although the Company has no
present plans to do so. The Company cannot provide assurances that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms
or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value or that they will not be adversely affect the Company’s business or the
trading price of our stock.
We are unaware of any specific effort
to obtain control of the Company, and the Company has no present intention of using the proposed increase in the number of authorized
shares of common stock as an anti-takeover device. However, the Company’s authorized, but unissued, capital stock could be
used to make an attempt to effect a change in control more difficult.
Neither Delaware law, the Company’s
restated certificate of incorporation, nor the Company’s amended and restated by-laws provides for appraisal or other similar
rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with this proposal. Accordingly, the Company’s stockholders will have no
right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors of the Company
has unanimously approved the proposal to adopt the amendment to the restated certificate of incorporation, as described above and
as set forth in Appendix 1 to these proxy materials, and has recommended that the proposed amendment be submitted to the Company’s
stockholders for consideration and approval at the Special Meeting. The proposal to authorize the Board to amend the Company’s
restated certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized capital stock will require the affirmative vote of the majority
of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE
FOR THE AMENDMENT OF THE RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AS SET FORTH HEREIN TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK BY 3,000,000,000 SHARES.
OTHER MATTERS
Form 10-K
The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as amended, as filed with the SEC, is available without charge upon request by writing
to Thinspace Technology, Inc. at 1925 E. Belt Line Road, Suite 349, Carrollton, Texas 75006, Attention: Investor Relations. A copy
of this report is also available at www.sec.gov.
“Householding” of Proxy Materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit
companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more
stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which
is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings
for companies. The Company and some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement to multiple stockholders
sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice
from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are
notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would
prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, or if you are receiving multiple copies of the proxy statement and wish to receive
only one, please notify your broker if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. We undertake
to deliver promptly upon any request a separate or single copy of the proxy materials. You can notify us by sending a written request
to Thinspace Technology, Inc., 1925 E. Belt Line Road, Suite 349, Carrollton, Texas 75006, Attention: Investor Relations or by
calling us at (786) 763-3830.
Other Business
The Board of Directors knows of no business
that will come before the meeting for action except as described in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. However, as to any such
business, the persons designated as proxies will have authority to act in their discretion.
