31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”) of PowerFleet, Inc. filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
on March 31, 2023. In this Amendment No. 1, unless the context indicates otherwise, the designations “Powerfleet,” the “Company,”
“we,” “us” or “our” refer to PowerFleet, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
This
Amendment No. 1 is being filed solely to include the information required by Item 10 – “Directors, Executive Officers and
Corporate Governance”, Item 11 – “Executive Compensation”, Item 12 – “Security Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters”, Item 13 – “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,

reference on the cover page of the 2022 Annual Report to the incorporation by reference of portions of our definitive proxy statement
into Part III of the 2022 Annual Report is hereby deleted. Items 10, 11, 13 and 14 of Part III of the 2022 Annual Report are amended
and restated in their entirety and Item 12 of Part III of the 2022 Annual Report is supplemented as set forth in this Amendment No. 1.
In addition, pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we are including
with this Amendment No. 1 new certifications under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) as Exhibits 31.1
and 31.2. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend
any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We
are not including new certifications under Section 906 of SOX as no financial statements are being filed with this Amendment No. 1.
Except
as described above, no other amendments are being made to the 2022 Annual Report. This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring
after the March 31, 2023 filing of the 2022 Annual Report or modify or update the disclosure contained in the 2022 Annual Report in any
way other than as required to reflect the amendments discussed above and reflected below. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be
read in conjunction with the 2022 Annual Report and our other filings with the SEC.

Board
Composition
On
October 3, 2019, we completed the transactions (the “Transactions”) pursuant to which we acquired Pointer. Upon the closing
of the Transactions, each of I.D. Systems and Pointer became wholly-owned subsidiaries of PowerFleet, Inc.
3
In
connection with the completion of the Transactions, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation (the “Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation”). Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that so long as shares
of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) remain outstanding and represent 15% or more, on
an as-converted basis, of the voting power of our common stock, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series
A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to elect two directors to the Board (the “Series A Directors”)
and any committee or subcommittee thereof (subject to the application of SEC and Nasdaq independence requirements). So long as any shares
of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding and represent less than 15% but not less than 5%, on an as-converted basis, of the voting
power of our common stock, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate
class, will be entitled to elect one Series A Director to the Board. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding
and there are no Series A Directors on the Board, the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred
Stock, voting as a separate class, will be entitled to designate one non-voting observer to attend all meetings of the Board and committees
and subcommittees thereof, although the observer may be excluded from executive sessions of any committee at the discretion of such committee.
Mr. Bjork and Ms. Srinivasan have been appointed to the Board by the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.
Audit
Committee
The
audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), which is a separately designated standing audit committee established
in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is composed
of Messrs. Brodsky, Casey and Frumberg, each of whom is independent under Nasdaq Rule 5605(c)(2) and Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
The
Board has determined that it has at least one “audit committee financial expert” serving on the Audit Committee. Mr. Casey
serves as the audit committee financial expert. Mr. Casey also serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee.
The
Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, a copy of which is publicly available on our website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/board-committees.
The Audit Committee’s charter sets forth the responsibilities, authority and specific duties of the Audit Committee and is reviewed
and reassessed annually. The information on our website is not a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. The charter specifies, among
other things, the structure and membership requirements of the Audit Committee, as well as the relationship of the Audit Committee to
our independent registered public accounting firm and management.
In
accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board in monitoring (i) the integrity of our financial reporting
process including our internal controls regarding financial reporting, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and
(iii) the independence and performance of our internal and external auditors, and serves as an avenue of communication among the independent
registered public accounting firm, management and the Board.
Code
of Ethics
We
have a code of ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief
Accounting Officer, Controller and Treasurer. A copy of our Code of Ethics can be found on our website at https://ir.powerfleet.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents.
The Code of Ethics also is available in print, free of charge, to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to the Company at the
following address: PowerFleet, Inc., 123 Tice Boulevard, Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Our Code of
Ethics is intended to be a codification of the business and ethical principles that guide the Company, and to deter wrongdoing, to promote
honest and ethical conduct, to avoid conflicts of interest, and to foster full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosures,
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations and accountability for
adherence to this code. We will post any amendment to the Code of Ethics, as well as any waivers that are required to be disclosed by
the rules of the SEC or The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, on our website.
Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity
securities to file with the SEC statements on Form 3, Form 4 and Form 5 of ownership and changes in ownership. Officers, directors and
greater than 10% stockholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
Based
solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4 and 5 and any amendments to those forms that have been furnished to us, we believe that all parties
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed all such required reports during and with respect to the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2022, except that Patrick Maley, our former Chief Revenue Officer, filed late a Form 3 upon becoming a Section 16 officer
on August 29, 2022, and each of Steve Towe, our Chief Executive Officer, and Nani Maoz, a director of the Company, filed late a Form
4 with respect to transactions that occurred on January 5, 2022 and October 14, 2022, respectively.

Item
11. Executive Compensation
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Introduction
This
discussion presents the principles underlying our executive officer compensation program. Our goal in this discussion is to provide the
reasons why we award compensation as we do and to place in perspective the data presented in the tables that follow this discussion.
The focus is primarily on compensation of our executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, but some historical and
forward-looking information is also provided to put such year’s compensation information in context. The information presented
herein relates to the following individuals who are considered “named executive officers,” under applicable rules and regulations
of the SEC, each of whom is sometimes referred to in this Amendment No. 1 as a “Named Executive Officer:” (i) Steve Towe,
who has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer since January 5, 2022, (ii) Jim Zeitunian, who has served as the Company’s
Chief Technology Officer since February 14, 2022, (iii) Patrick Maley, who served as the Company’s Chief Revenue Officer beginning
on March 7, 2022 and through the remainder of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and (iv) Chris Wolfe, who served as the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer through January 4, 2022. Mr. Maley resigned from his position as Chief Revenue Officer effective April 14, 2023.
Compensation
Philosophy and Objectives
We
attempt to apply a consistent philosophy to compensation for all employees, including senior management. This philosophy is based on
the premises that our success is dependent upon the efforts of each employee and that a cooperative, team-oriented environment is an
essential part of our culture. We believe in the importance of rewarding our employees for our successes, which is why we emphasize pay-for-performance
incentive compensation. Particular emphasis is placed on broad employee equity participation through the use of stock options and restricted
stock awards, as well as on annual cash bonuses linked to achievement of our corporate performance goals. We considered the results of
the “say on pay” proposal with respect to executive compensation presented to the stockholders at our 2022 annual meeting
held on July 19, 2022, and in light of the support the proposal received, we continue to emphasize pay-for-performance incentive compensation,
as explained in detail in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
Our
compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers are designed to achieve a variety of goals, including:
● attracting
and retaining talented and experienced executives;
● motivating
and rewarding executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;
● aligning
the interests of our executives and stockholders by motivating executives to increase stockholder
value in a sustained manner; and
● providing
a competitive compensation package which rewards achievement of our goals.
Total
compensation paid to our executive officers is influenced significantly by the need to attract and retain management employees with a
high level of expertise and to motivate and retain key executives for our long-term success. Some of the components of compensation,
such as base salary, are generally fixed and do not vary based on our financial and other performance. Some components, such as cash
incentive bonuses and certain stock option awards, are dependent upon the achievement of certain goals approved by the compensation committee
of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”); and for such purpose, the Compensation Committee considers goals for executive
officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) recommended by our Chief Executive Officer, and includes him in its discussions with
respect to such goals. Furthermore, the value of certain of these components, such as stock options and restricted stock, is dependent
upon our future stock price.
We
compensate our executive officers in these different ways in order to achieve different goals. Cash compensation, for example, provides
executive officers with a minimum base salary. Cash incentive bonuses are generally linked to the achievement of financial and business
goals (as described in greater detail below) and are intended to reward executive officers for our overall performance. Stock option
and restricted stock awards are intended to link our executive officers’ longer-term compensation with the performance of our stock
and to build executive ownership positions in our stock. This encourages our executive officers to remain with us and to act in ways
intended to maximize stockholder value, and serves to penalize them if we and/or our stock fails to perform to expectations.
We
view the three components of our executive officer compensation as related but distinct. Although the Compensation Committee does review
total compensation, it does not believe that compensation derived from one component of compensation necessarily should negate or reduce
compensation from other components. We determine the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively,
on its historical practices with the individual and our view of individual performance and other information we deem relevant. The Compensation
Committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid
out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of compensation. We have not reviewed wealth and retirement
accumulation as a result of employment with us and have only focused on fair compensation for the year in question.
5
The
Compensation Committee monitors the results of the annual advisory “say-on-pay” proposal and incorporates such results as
one of many factors considered in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. At our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders,
the stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, and in light of such approval, the
Compensation Committee continued with its performance-based compensation philosophy and its balanced approach to the components of its
compensation program.
Elements
of Executive Officer Compensation
Base
Salary. We pay our executive officers a base salary, which we review and determine annually. We believe that a competitive base salary
is a necessary element of any compensation program. We believe that attractive base salaries can motivate and reward executives for their
overall performance. Base salaries are established in part based on the particular executive’s position, responsibility, experience,
skills and expected contributions during the coming year and such individual’s performance during the prior year. We also have
generally sought to align base compensation levels comparable to our competitors and other companies in similar stages of development.
We do not view base salaries as primarily serving our objective of paying for performance, but in attracting and retaining the most qualified
executives necessary to run the Company’s business. The Company continues to focus on a pay-for-performance structure, which is
discussed below.
Cash
Incentive Bonus Program. The primary objective of our annual cash incentive bonus program is to motivate and reward our employees,
including our Named Executive Officers, for meeting our short-term objectives using a pay-for-performance program with objectively determinable
performance goals. Each of Messrs. Towe, Maley and Zeitunian was eligible to receive a cash incentive bonus under our Global Bonus Plan
(the “GBP”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which is discussed below.
The
objectives of the GBP for 2022 are to align the interests of senior management with the Company’s performance goals. The GBP focuses
on rewarding executives for the achievement of financial objectives with competitive financial incentives and provides a systemic plan
for establishing definitive performance goals. Under the GBP for 2022, the Company’s performance goals are based on (i) revenue
growth, (ii) income (loss) from operations, and (iii) subscriber renewal.
Awards
payable under the GBP for 2022 were calculated as a percentage of the executive’s base salary. The target award under the GBP for
2022 for each of Messrs. Towe, Maley and Zeitunian was set at 100%, 100% and 50% of his base salary, respectively. Under the GBP for
2022, 45% of each executive’s target award could be earned based on the achievement of (a) a revenue target of $138.8 million for
the 2022 fiscal year and (b) an income (loss) from operations target of $(1.9) million for the 2022 fiscal year, and 10% of each executive’s
target award could be earned based on the Company having a target subscriber renewal rate of 90% for the 2022 fiscal year. The portion
of each executive’s bonus award that was tied to the revenue target could be pro-rated based on the amount of revenue actually
achieved for the 2022 fiscal year. Based on the Company’s financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the
Company’s subscriber renewal rate, each of Messrs. Towe, Maley and Zeitunian received annual bonuses under the GBP for 2022 in
the aggregate amount of $228,013, $187,775 and $67,063, respectively.
Equity
Compensation. We believe that stock option and restricted stock awards are an important long-term incentive for our executive officers
and employees and that our stock option and restricted stock award program has been effective in aligning officer and employee interests
with those of our stockholders. We review our equity compensation plans annually. Employees are eligible for annual stock option and
restricted stock award grants. These options and grants are intended to produce value for each executive officer if (i) our stockholders
derive significant sustained value and (ii) the executive officer remains employed with us.
Historically,
other than in connection with an incentive bonus program, the Company did not have any program, plan or obligation under which it was
required to grant equity compensation to any executive officer on specified dates or upon the achievement of certain performance goals.
The authority to make equity grants to executive officers rests with the Compensation Committee and the Board, although, as noted, the
Compensation Committee and the Board do consider the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer in setting the compensation of our
other executive officers.
Severance
and Change-in-Control Benefits. We describe certain severance and change-in-control benefits applicable to our current and former
Chief Executive Officers under the captions “Severance Agreements” and “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change
in Control” below.
Benefits.
The executive officers participate in all of our employee benefit plans, such as medical and 401(k) plans, on the same basis as our
other employees, except that we pay 100% of the premiums for health and dental insurance of our executive officers and 75% of the premiums
for health and dental insurance of our other employees.
Perquisites.
Certain of our Named Executive Officers receive an allowance for automobile and related expenses, which amounts are reflected under
column titled “All Other Compensation” in the “Summary Compensation Table” below. Our use of perquisites as an
element of compensation is very limited. We do not view perquisites as a significant element of our comprehensive compensation structure.
6
Regulatory
Considerations
We
account for the equity compensation expense for our employees under the rules of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards
Codification Topic 718 (“ASC 718”), which requires us to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation
over the service period of the award. Accounting rules also require us to record cash compensation as an expense at the time the obligation
is accrued.
Employment
Agreements
The
Company has not entered into employments agreements with any of its Named Executive Officers.
Severance
Agreements
The
Company is a party to a severance agreement with Mr. Towe, which provides Mr. Towe with certain severance and change in control benefits
upon the occurrence of certain events.
The
severance agreement with Mr. Towe provides Mr. Towe with certain severance and change in control benefits upon the occurrence of one
of the following events: (i) the termination of Mr. Towe’s employment by the Company without cause (a “Trigger Event”)
or (ii) the termination of Mr. Towe’s employment by the Company without cause or Mr. Towe’s resignation for good reason within
six months following a change in control event (a “Change in Control Trigger Event”).
Under
the terms of the severance agreement with Mr. Towe, subject to Mr. Towe’s delivery of a general release to the Company, Mr. Towe
will be entitled to the following upon a Trigger Event or Change in Control Trigger Event: (i) cash payments either (a) in the case of
a Trigger Event, at the rate of his annual base salary, or (b) in the case of a Change in Control Trigger Event, at twice the rate of
his annual base salary, in each case as in effect immediately prior to the Trigger Event or Change in Control Trigger Event, as the case
may be, for a period of 12 month, made as a series of separate payments that are payable in accordance with the Company’s standard
payroll practices; (ii) a waiver of any remaining portion of Mr. Towe’s healthcare continuation payments under COBRA for the 12-month
severance period, provided that he timely elects COBRA coverage and continues to make contributions for such coverage equal to his contribution
amount in effect immediately preceding the date of his termination of employment; (iii) partial accelerated vesting of his previously
granted stock options and restricted stock awards, such that (to the extent not already then vested) a portion of these awards shall
vest and/or become exercisable, in each case on a pro-rated basis that takes into account the number of months elapsed since the date
of grant as compared to the scheduled vesting date (provided that the terms of the Company’s equity compensation plans shall continue
to govern acceleration of vesting in the event of a change of control as defined in such plan); (iv) any bonus that would have otherwise
been payable to Mr. Towe for the calendar year prior to termination; and (v) if the Trigger Event or Change in Control Trigger Event
occurs prior to January 1, 2024, payment of any remaining unpaid installment of Mr. Towe’s $650,000 retention bonus.
As
a condition to the Company’s obligations under the severance agreement with Mr. Towe, Mr. Towe also executed and delivered to the
Company a restrictive covenants agreement containing covenants regarding confidentiality, assignment of inventions, non-competition and
non-solicitation.
The
Company was also party to a severance agreement with Mr. Wolfe, which provided him with certain severance and change in control benefits
upon the occurrence of certain events.
The
severance agreement with Mr. Wolfe provided Mr. Wolfe with certain severance and change in control benefits upon the occurrence of a
“Trigger Event,” which would have occurred if the Company terminated Mr. Wolfe without cause, or upon the occurrence of a
“Change in Control Trigger Event,” which would have occurred if the Company terminated Mr. Wolfe without cause or Mr. Wolfe
resigned for good reason, each within six months following a change in control event (as defined in the severance agreement). Under the
terms of the severance agreement with Mr. Wolfe, subject to Mr. Wolfe’s delivery of a general release to the Company, Mr. Wolfe
was entitled to the following: (i) cash payments either (A) at the rate of Mr. Wolfe’s annual base salary, in the case of a Trigger
Event, or (B) at twice the rate of Mr. Wolfe’s annual base salary, in the event of a Change in Control Trigger Event, in each case,
as in effect immediately prior to such Trigger Event or Change in Control Trigger Event, as the case may be, for a period of 12 months,
made as a series of payments that were payable in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices; (ii) a waiver of any
remaining portion of Mr. Wolfe’s healthcare continuation payments under COBRA for the 12-month severance period, provided that
Mr. Wolfe timely elected COBRA coverage and continued to make contributions for such coverage equal to his contribution amount in effect
immediately preceding the date of his termination of employment; (iii) partial accelerated vesting of previously granted stock options
and restricted stock awards, such that (to the extent not already then vested) a portion of these awards vested and/or became exercisable,
in each case on a pro-rated basis that took into account the number of months elapsed since the date of grant as compared to the scheduled
vesting date (provided that the terms of the Company’s equity incentive plans continued to govern acceleration of vesting in the
event of a change of control as defined in such plan); and (iv) in the event of a Change in Control Trigger Event, a pro rata portion
of any bonus that would have been payable to Mr. Wolfe with respect to the year of termination based on the achievement of predetermined
objectives used to determine the Company’s performance.

Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control under Severance Arrangements
As
described above under the caption “Severance Arrangements,” the Company has entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Towe.
This severance agreement provides for severance payments or other compensation upon the termination of such executive’s employment
or a change in control with respect to the Company.
The
Company had also entered into a severance agreement with Mr. Wolfe, which provided for severance payments or other compensation upon
the termination of such executive’s employment or a change in control with respect to the Company. Mr. Wolfe served as the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer until January 4, 2022 and received severance in the amount of $333,333 from the Company in accordance with such
severance agreement.
Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control under Equity Compensation Plans
Our
2018 Plan provides that, unless the Compensation Committee provides otherwise in advance of the grant, in the event of a “change
in control,” if the employee or service provider is terminated other than for “cause” (as defined in the 2018 Plan)
within one year of such change in control or leaves for “good reason” (as defined in the 2018 Plan), options and restricted
stock (including restricted stock units) shall vest. In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, the payout
of performance stock units and performance shares shall be determined exclusively by the attainment of the performance goals established
by the Compensation Committee, which may not be modified after the change in control, and the Company will not have the right to reduce
the awards for any other reason.
For
purposes of the 2018 Plan, a “change in control” means the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) any person, other
than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned directly or
indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes
the beneficial owner (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;
(ii) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the board of directors of
the Company and any new director whose election by the board of directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders
was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; (iii) the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding
or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or (iv) the stockholders
of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all
or substantially all the Company’s assets.
Risk
Considerations
We
do not believe that our compensation practices and policies for our employees, including our executive officers, create risks or are
likely to create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us or our results of operations or financial condition.

Compensation
of Directors
General
All
directors are entitled to reimbursement for travel and lodging and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection
with their attendance at Board and/or Board committee meetings or other activities on our behalf.
Employee
Directors
Directors
who are current officers or employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company do not receive any additional compensation for
their service as members of either the Board or any committees of the Board.
Non-Employee
Directors
On
August 1, 2017, the Board adopted a non-employee director compensation program pursuant to which non-employee directors are entitled
to receive annual compensation having economic value of approximately $119,000, which includes a cash retainer of $59,000 and restricted
stock grants with an economic value of approximately $60,000. The cash retainer may be paid, at each director’s election, in cash
or in restricted shares of our common stock. Each of Mr. Bjork and Ms. Srinivasan, as the Series A Directors, agreed to waive participation
in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program. Each of the non-employee directors, other than the Series A Directors,
was paid his retainer for 2022 in cash. With respect to restricted stock awards, the number of shares issuable in 2022 was calculated
based on the average of the reported closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market over a twenty (20) consecutive
trading day period ending on and including the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders.
The
Chairman of the Board and the chairperson of each of the committees of the Board are also entitled to a supplemental retainer, which
may be paid, at each director’s election, in cash or in restricted shares of our common stock. Specifically, the Chairman of the
Board receives an additional $36,000 per year of service; the chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional $18,000 per year
of service; the chairperson of the Compensation Committee receives an additional $12,000 per year of service; and the chairperson of
the Nominating Committee receives an additional $10,000 per year of service. Each of the non-employee directors, other than the Series
A Directors, was paid his supplemental retainer in 2022 in cash.
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, Michael Brodsky, Michael Casey, Charles Frumberg and Nani Maoz were paid cash retainers in the
aggregate amounts of $105,000, $77,000, $59,000 and $15,195, respectively. Mr. Maoz’s cash retainer was pro-rated based on his
election to the Board on October 14, 2022. In addition, each of Messrs. Brodsky, Casey, Frumberg and Maoz received an award of 26,332,
26,332, 26,332 and 15,166 in restricted shares of common stock, respectively, in consideration for his services as a director of the
Company, which were granted on July 28, 2022, or October 14, 2022 with respect to Mr. Maoz, pursuant to the 2018 Plan. All such restricted
stock awards vest as to 100% of such shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the non-employee director is
then serving as a director of the Company. Each of Mr. Bjork and Ms. Srinivasan, as the Series A Directors, did not receive any compensation
for their service as directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Our
non-employee directors are not entitled to retirement, benefit or other perquisite programs.

12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The
following table sets forth information regarding ownership of shares of our common stock as of April 26, 2023 by:
● each
stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock;
● each
of our Named Executive Officers;
● each
of our current directors; and
● all
of our current directors and executive officers as a group.
To
our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to the table and subject to applicable community property laws, each person or entity
named in the table has sole voting and disposition power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s or entity’s
name. The number of shares beneficially owned by each entity, person, director or executive officer is determined in accordance with
the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rules,
beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the individual has the sole or shared voting power or investment power and any shares
that the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 26, 2023, through the exercise of stock options, warrants or other
convertible securities or any other right. Shares of our common stock that a person has the right to acquire within 60 days of April
26, 2023 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such rights but are not deemed
outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person (except with respect to the percentage ownership of
all directors and executive officers as a group). As used in this Amendment No. 1, “voting power” is the power to vote or
direct the voting of shares and “investment power” includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.
The
number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of 36,089,283 shares of our common stock outstanding as of
April 26, 2023. The information in the following table regarding the beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock is based upon
information supplied by our principal stockholders or set forth in Schedules 13D and 13G filed with the SEC. The determination that there
were no other persons, entities or groups known to the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common
stock was based on a review of all statements filed with the SEC with respect to the Company pursuant to Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the
Exchange Act.

Item
13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
Our
policy prohibits conflicts between the interests of our employees, officers and directors and our company. A conflict of interest exists
when an employee, officer, or director’s personal interest interferes or may interfere with the interests of the Company. When
it is deemed to be in the best interests of our company and our stockholders, the Audit Committee may grant waivers to employees, officers
and directors who have disclosed an actual or potential conflict of interest, which waivers are subject to approval by our Board. This
policy is included in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Employees, Officers and Directors.
In
accordance with its charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for annually reviewing any transactions or series of similar transactions
to which we are or were a party and in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class of our
voting securities, or members of any such person’s immediate family, have had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Our Audit Committee’s procedures for reviewing related party transactions are not in writing. Since January 1, 2021, there has
not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which the Company is or was a party in
which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of any class
of our voting securities, or members of any such person’s immediate family, have had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest. As of April 26, 2023, our common stock is the Company’s only class of voting securities.
Director
Independence
Our
Board has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Towe, each of our current directors satisfies the current “independent director”
standards established by the Nasdaq rules and, as to the members of the Audit Committee, the additional independence requirements under
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Thus, a majority of the Board is comprised of independent directors as required by the Nasdaq
rules. The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Casey, Brodsky and Frumberg, each of whom is an independent director in accordance
with Nasdaq Rule 5605(c). The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Bjork, Casey and Frumberg, each of whom is an independent
director in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5605(d). The Nominating Committee of the Board is composed of Messrs. Brodsky, Bjork and Frumberg,
each of whom is independent in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5605(e).

Audit
Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

accounting firm. For audit services, each year the independent registered public accounting firm provides the Audit Committee with an
engagement letter outlining the scope of the audit services proposed to be performed during the year, which must be formally accepted
by the Audit Committee before the audit commences. The independent registered public accounting firm also submits an audit services fee
proposal, which also must be approved by the Audit Committee before the audit commences. None of the fees for services described above
