EXPLANATORY NOTE
On October 8, 2021, Nxt-ID, Inc. (the “Company”) initiated a campaign on Stockperks.com and on the Stockperks mobile app, (the “Stockperks Campaign”), where the Company offered to certain of its stockholders $5.00 Starbucks gift cards if they vote on the proposals included in the Definitive Proxy Statement that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 17, 2021 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”). The purpose of the Stockperks Campaign is to encourage such stockholders to cast their votes on such proposals.
Commencing October 11, 2021, the Company plans to (i) release voicemail messages to its stockholders with a recorded message (to stockholders with accounts at Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., the “Broadridge Recorded Message”; to stockholders with Mediant Communications Inc. accounts, the “Mediant Recorded Message”; and collectively, the “Recorded Messages”); and (ii) distribute an email (“Email”), both from Ms. Chia-Lin Simmons, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), to the Company’s stockholders with accounts at Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. and Mediant Communications Inc., regarding the Special Meeting. The Recorded Messages and Email will be intended to remind the Company’s stockholders of the Special Meeting and encourage them to vote on the proposals included in the Definitive Proxy Statement.
The Stockperks Campaign, Recorded Messages and Email each supplements the Definitive Proxy Statement and the Definitive Additional Materials filed with the SEC on September 21, 2021, September 27, 2021, September 29, 2021, September 30, 2021, October 1, 2021, October 4, 2021, October 5, 2021, October 6, 2021 and October 7, 2021.

| • | Have more access to capital to support growth |
