QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS

 

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

 

In this proxy statement, we refer to The Glimpse Group, Inc. as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

 

This proxy statement describes the proposals on which our Board would like you, as a stockholder, to vote at the Meeting, which will take place on December 15, 2023 at 9:30 a.m., EST, at 15 West 38th St., 4th Fl, New York, NY 10018.

 

Stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon proposals to (i) re-elect nine directors to the Board to serve on a classified board until their respective class term has run and their successors are duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal, (ii) provide an advisory vote on executive compensation (the “Say-on-Pay Proposal”); and (iii) ratify the appointment of Hoberman & Lesser CPA’s, LLP (“Hoberman”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

 

This proxy statement also gives you information on the proposals so that you can make an informed decision. You should read it carefully. Your vote is important. You are encouraged to submit your proxy card as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this proxy statement.

 

Who can vote at the Meeting?

 

Stockholders who owned shares of our common stock on the Record Date may attend and vote at the Meeting. There were 16,619,905 shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date  . All shares of common stock shall have one vote per share. Information about the stockholdings of our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders is contained in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” beginning on page 20 of this proxy statement.

 

What is the proxy card?

 

The card enables you to appoint each of Lyron Bentovim and Maydan Rothblum, each acting alone, as your representative at the Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card, you are authorizing this person to vote your shares at the Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, it is strongly recommended to complete and return your proxy card before the Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxy will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to his best judgment.

 

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

 

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” each of the nominees to serve as directors in their designated Board classes set forth in proposal No. 1, and “FOR” proposals No. 2 and No.3.

 

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

 

Certain of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

 

Stockholder of Record/Registered Stockholders

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, ClearTrust, LLC, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, please complete, date, and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

 

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Meeting.

 

What are broker non-votes?

 

Broker non-votes are shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and have not received voting instructions from their clients. Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. The proposed ratification of the appointment of Hoberman as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers are entitled to vote uninstructed shares only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Hoberman as our independent registered public accounting firm.

 

If my bank, broker or other nominee holds my shares in “street name,” will such party vote my shares for me?

 

For all “non-routine” matters, not without your direction. Your broker, bank or other nominee will be permitted to vote your shares on any “non-routine” proposal only if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote. Under applicable stock exchange rules, brokers, banks or other nominees have the discretion to vote your shares on routine matters if you fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares with respect to such matters. The proposals to be voted upon by our stockholders described in this proxy statement, except for the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, are “non-routine” matters, and brokers, banks and other nominees therefore cannot vote on these proposals without your instructions. The proposed ratification of the appointment of Hoberman as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers, banks and other nominees are entitled to vote uninstructed shares only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Hoberman as our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, it is important that you instruct your broker, bank or nominee on how you wish to vote your shares.

 

How do I vote my shares if I hold my shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee?

 

If you hold your shares as a beneficial owner through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should have received instructions on how to vote your shares from your broker, bank or other nominee. Please follow their instructions carefully. You must provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like at the Meeting.

 

How do I vote?

 

If you were a stockholder of record of the Company’s common stock on the Record Date, you may vote in person at the Meeting or by submitting a proxy. Each share of common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote, in each case, on the applicable proposals.

 

  (1) You may submit your proxy by mail. You may submit your proxy by mail by completing, signing, and dating your proxy card and returning it in the enclosed, postage-paid, and addressed envelope. If we receive your proxy card prior to the Meeting and if you mark your voting instructions on the proxy card, your shares will be voted:

 

  as you instruct, and
     
   according to the best judgment of the proxies if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

 

2

 

 

We encourage you to examine your proxy card closely to make sure you are voting all of your shares in the Company.

  FOR passing an advisory vote on executive compensation; and
     
  FOR the selection of Hoberman as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
     
  According to the best judgment of Maydan Rothblum, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, if a proposal comes up for a vote at the Meeting that is not on the proxy card.

 

  (2) You may vote in person at the Meeting. We will pass out written ballots to any stockholder of record who wants to vote at the Meeting.

  (5) You may vote via fax. You may fax your signed voting card to +1-800-690-6903.

 

What happens if I abstain?

 

If you abstain, whether by proxy or in person at the Meeting, or if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to abstain your abstention will not be counted for or against the proposals, but will be counted as “present” at the Meeting in determining whether or not a quorum exists.

 

If I plan on attending the Meeting, should I return my proxy card?

 

Yes. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, after carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement, please complete and sign your proxy card, and then return the proxy card in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided herewith as soon as possible, so your shares may be represented at the Meeting.

May I change my mind after I return my proxy?

 

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Meeting. You may do this by:

 

  sending a written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s executive offices stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;
     
  signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Secretary before the polls close at the Meeting; or
     
  attending the Meeting and voting in person.

 

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

 

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

 

What happens if I do not indicate how to vote my proxy?

 

Signed and dated proxies received by the Company without an indication of how the stockholder desires to vote on a proposal will be voted in favor of each director and proposal presented to the stockholders.

 

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

 

If you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote in person at the Meeting.

 

What vote is required to re-elect the director nominees as directors of the Company?

 

The re-election of each nominee for director requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and voting thereon, and where a separate vote by class is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of that class present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and voting thereon.

 

How many votes are required to approve the executive compensation?

 

The proposal to approve executive compensation 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.

 

How many votes are required to appoint Hoberman as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year ending June 30, 2024?

 

The proposal to appoint Hoberman to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and voting thereon, and where a separate vote by class is required, a majority of the voting power of the shares of that class present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and voting thereon.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

 

Our Board is composed of nine members. In accordance with our articles of incorporation and in connection with this year’s Meeting, our Board is implementing a classified board of directors consisting of three classes with three directors per class, each serving staggered three-year terms, all of whom have been nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board (the “Nominating Committee”) and approved by our Board to stand for re-election as directors of the Company. Unless such authority is withheld, proxies will be voted for the re-election of the persons named below, each of whom has been designated as a nominee. If, for any reason, any nominee/director becomes unavailable for re-election, the proxies will be voted for such substitute nominee(s) as the Board may propose.

 

At this year’s Meeting, all director nominees will stand for re-election to one of three classes with staggered three-year terms. Going forward, only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. In connection with the year’s Meeting, our current directors were divided among three classes as follows:

 

The proposed Class I directors will be Ian Charles and Jeff Meisner, and their terms will continue until the 2024 annual meeting;
The proposed Class II directors will be Maydan Rothblum, Jeff Enslin and Alexander Ruckdaeschel, and their terms will continue until the 2025 annual meeting;
The proposed Class III directors will be Lem Amen and Lyron Bentovim and their terms will continue until the 2026 annual meeting.

 

Each director’s term will continue until the expiration of their respective class term and until the election and qualifications of their successor, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. This classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of our company.

 

We believe that the collective skills, experiences, and qualifications of our directors provide our Board with the expertise and experience necessary to advance the interests of our stockholders. While the Nominating Committee of our Board does not have any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by each of our directors, the Nominating 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 current 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.

 

The director nominees recommended by the Board are as follows:

 

the board recommends the RE-election of these nominees to serve as directors in these Board classes:

 

Name   Class   Age   Position
Executive Officers            
Lyron Bentovim   III   54   President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
Maydan Rothblum   II   50   Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director
Jeff Meisner   I   62   Chief Revenue Officer and Director
Non-Executive Directors            
Ian Charles   I   55   Independent Director and Chair of Audit Committee
Jeff Enslin   II   57   Independent Director and Chair of Governance Committee
Lemuel Amen   III   57   Independent Director and Chair of Strategy Committee
Alexander Ruckdaeschel   II   51   Independent Director and Chair of Compensation Committee

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. There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers. The Board has determined that the following nominees satisfy the independence requirements of Nasdaq: Ian Charles, Jeff Enslin, Lemuel Amen and Alexander Ruckdaeschel.

 

Board Committees and Meetings

 

The Board held five meetings during fiscal year 2023. No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate number of all meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served during fiscal year 2023. The Company expects the directors to attend the Meeting either in person or by conference call.

Equity Incentive Plan

 

In October 2016, our majority shareholders approved our Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), to be administered by our compensation committee. Pursuant to the Plan, we are authorized to grant options and other equity awards to employees of the Company or any subsidiary, non-employee directors or key consultants to the Company, or a subsidiary, and any person who has been offered employment by the Company or a subsidiary, 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 or a subsidiary (together, 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 shall also have 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, for the period beginning on January 1, 2022 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2030 (each, an “Evergreen Date”) in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on December 31st immediately preceding the applicable Evergreen Date (the “Evergreen Increase”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 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 the Company’s common stock than would otherwise occur pursuant to the preceding sentence. Any shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall consist of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. Pursuant to these provisions, effective January 1, 2023 the number of shares of our common stock set aside for the Plan automatically increased to a total of approximately 11.3 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 the compensation committee, subject to the express limitations set forth in the Plan.

 

Unless earlier terminated by action of the Board of Directors, the Plan will remain in effect until such time as no shares of common stock remains 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.

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.

 

SECURITIES OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by any person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock, by directors and certain executive officers, and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she, or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security or has the right to acquire securities within 60 days from the Record Date, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days from the Record Date.

 

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 16,619,905 shares of our common stock that were outstanding as of the Record Date .

 

Except as otherwise indicated below, the following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 22, 2023 by (1) each of our current directors; (2) each of the executive officers; (3) each person known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock based upon Schedules 13G or 13D filed with the SEC; and (4) all of our directors and executive officers as a group. As of September 22, 2023, there were 14,734,190 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. Common stock subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of September 22, 2023 are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person or group holding such options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such person or group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or group. Unless otherwise indicated by footnote, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

Related Party Transactions

 

None.

 

Director Independence

 

The Board evaluates the independence of each nominee for election as a director of our Company in accordance with the Listing Rules (the “Nasdaq Listing Rules”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Pursuant to these rules, a majority of our Board must be “independent directors” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and all directors who sit on our Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee must also be independent directors.

 

The Nasdaq definition of “independence” includes a series of objective tests, such as the director or director nominee is not, and was not during the last three years, an employee of Glimpse or our Subsidiaries and has not received certain payments from, or engaged in various types of business dealings with us. In addition, as further required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist, which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with such individual’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director. In making these determinations, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and its management.

 

As a result, the Board has affirmatively determined that each of Ian Charles, Lemuel Amen, Alexander Ruckdaeschel and Jeff Enslin, are independent in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board has also affirmatively determined that all members of our Audit Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are independent directors.

 

No family relationships exist between any of our officers or directors.

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 frequency of holding say-on-pay vote. The Company presenting 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 and hold such say-on-pay vote every year, 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 of Directors or the Compensation Committee and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board of Directors, creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors or any additional fiduciary duty by the Board of Directors 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.

 

Required Stockholder Vote and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

 

In voting to approve the above resolution, stockholders may vote for the resolution, against the resolution or abstain from voting. This matter will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. An abstention is effectively treated as a vote cast against this proposal.

 

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS 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 Hoberman to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024. Therefore, we are requesting that stockholders approve the proposal to ratify the appointment of Hoberman 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 Hoberman 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 Hoberman 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 Hoberman will not make a statement at the Meeting.

The Board recommends that you vote “for” ratifying the appointment of HOBERMAN to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the FISCAL year endING June 30, 2024.

 

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, 2023 and 2022:

 

   For the Year Ended 
   June 30, 
   2023   2022 
Audit fees  $158,000   $119,000 
Audit fees in connection with acquisitions   -    127,000 
Other fees   9,000    62,000 
Total Fees  $167,000   $308,000 

 

Audit fees represent fees for respective fiscal year audits, including the review of our quarterly financial statements. Audit fess in connection with acquisitions represent audits of the pre-acquisition financial statements of S5D and BLI. Other Fees are for the review of our S-1, Securities Registration Statement

 

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

 

Our Board of Directors 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 Audit Committee must be submitted to the Audit committee by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the board of directors 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 Hoberman & Lesser CPA’s LLP and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the independence of Hoberman & Lesser CPA’s LLP.

 

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’s (the “PCAOB”) Rule 3200T. 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, 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 last fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also approved, subject to stockholders’ ratification, the appointment of Hoberman to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.

 

The information contained in this proxy statement with respect to the Audit Committee’s report above and the independence of the members of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference in such filing.

 

OTHER MATTERS

 

Our Board knows of no other matter to be presented at the Meeting. If any additional matter should properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote such proxy in accordance with their judgment on any such matters.

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 Broadridge, Inc., by calling +1-800-579-1639, or by forwarding a written request addressed to Broadridge, Inc., P.O. Box 123456, Suite 500, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717 .

 

Promptly upon request, a separate copy of this proxy statement will be sent. By contacting Broadridge, Inc., 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.
