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.

Dear NXT-ID shareholder,

 

Time is running out for you to vote “FOR” both of the reverse stock split proposals!  If you are submitting your vote by phone or online, it must be received by 11:59 pm Eastern time on October 14, 2021.

 

We must have shareholder approval to avoid being delisted from Nasdaq, which may occur as soon as October 18th. EVERY VOTE COUNTS, regardless of the number of shares that you hold.

 

Remaining listed on Nasdaq will help us to:

 

Protect the long-term value of your investment
Maintain ease of trading
Have more access to capital to support growth
