On
September 14, 2023, there were 239 holders of record of our common stock, as reported by the Company’s transfer agent. In computing
the number of holders of record, each broker-dealer and clearing corporation holding shares on behalf of its customers is counted as
a single shareholder.
Dividends
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock nor do we anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. Furthermore,
we expect to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and expansion. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be
at the discretion of our Board of Directors.
Equity
Compensation Plans
On
November 11, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Slinger Bag Inc. Global Share Incentive Plan (2020), or the 2020
Plan, which was approved by stockholders holding in the aggregate 19,994,700 shares of the Company’s common stock, or approximately
75.4% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on such date. The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of awards which are incentive
stock options (“ISOs”), non-qualified stock options (“NQSOs”), unrestricted stock, restricted stock, restricted
stock units, performance stock and other equity-based and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing, to eligible key management
employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each a “participant”)
(however, solely employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible for incentive stock option awards).
The
Company has reserved a total of 1,500,000 shares for issuance under awards to be made under the 2020 Plan, all of which may, but need
not, be issued in connection with ISOs. To the extent that an award lapses, expires, is canceled, is terminated unexercised or ceases
to be exercisable for any reason, or the rights of its holder terminate, any shares subject to such award shall again be available for
the grant of a new award. The 2020 Plan shall continue in effect, unless sooner terminated, until the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
date on which it was adopted by the Board of Directors (except as to awards outstanding on that date). The Board of Directors in its
discretion may terminate the 2020 Plan at any time with respect to any shares for which awards have not theretofore been granted; provided,
however, that the 2020 Plan’s termination shall not materially and adversely impair the rights of a holder, without the consent
of the holder, with respect to any award previously granted.
41
Future
new hires, non-employee directors and additional non-employee consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Plan as well. The number
of awards to be granted to officers, non-employee directors, employees and non-employee consultants cannot be determined at this time
as the grant of awards is dependent upon various factors such as hiring requirements and job performance.

On
September 28, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a
single institutional investor (the “Investor”) for the issuance and sale of (i) 1,018,510 shares of common stock and (ii)
pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 11,802,002 shares of its common stock, together

warrant and $0.3899 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated common stock warrants for an aggregate amount of approximately $5.0 million
(the “Offering”). The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.00001 per share of common stock and are exercisable
until the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. The shares of common stock and Pre-Funded Warrants were sold in the offering together

following the initial exercise date (the “5-Year Warrants”) and 25,641,024 common stock warrants to purchase 25,641,024 shares
of common stock at an exercise price of $0.43 per share and a term of seven and one half years (the “7.5-Year Warrants”)
following the initial exercise date (collectively, the “Warrants”). The Warrants issued in the Offering contain variable
pricing features. The Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercisable beginning on the date stockholder approval is received and
effective allowing exercisability of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants under Nasdaq rules.
On
September 28, 2022, the Company and the Investor entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
The Registration Rights Agreement provides that the Company shall file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) covering the resale of the unregistered shares of common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants no later than December 20, 2022 (the “Filing Date”) and to use best efforts to have
the registration statement declared effective as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than sixty (60) days after
the Filing Date.
On
January 6, 2023, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement (the “Loan and Security Agreement”) with a one or
more institutional investors (the “Lenders”) and Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. as agent for the Lenders (the “Agent”)
for the issuance and sale of (i) a note in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2,000,000 (the “Note”) with the initial
advance under the Loan and Security Agreement being $1,400,000 and (ii) warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase a number of
shares of common stock of the Company equal to 200% of the face amount of the Note divided by the closing price of the common stock of
the Company on the date of the issuance of the Notes (collectively, the “Initial Issuance”). The closing price of the Company’s
common stock on January 6, 2023, as reported by Nasdaq, was $0.221 per share, so the Warrants in respect of the initial advance under
the Note are exercisable for up to 18,099,548 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrants have an exercise price per share
equal to the closing price of the common stock of the Company on the date of the issuance of the Note, or $0.221 per share and a term
of five- and one-half (5½) years following the initial exercise date. The initial exercise date of the Warrants will be the date
stockholder approval is received and effective allowing exercisability of the Warrants under Nasdaq rules. Pursuant to the terms of the
Loan and Security Agreement, an additional advance of $600,000 may be made by to the Company under the Note. The Company’s obligations
under the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by all of the Company’s subsidiaries
(the “Guarantors”).
42
In
connection with the Loan and Security Agreement, the Company and each of the Guarantors entered into a pledge and security agreement
with the Agent (the “Pledge and Security Agreements”). The Pledge and Security Agreements provide that the Company and the
Guarantors will grant the Agent a security interest in all of the Company’s and each Guarantor’s respective assets.
The
Company used the net proceeds from the Loan and Security Agreement to pay expenses, including accounting and legal fees, relating to
the registration of certain previously issued securities of the Company, which securities were issued to an affiliate of the Agent, and
following the payment of such expenses, to fund the Company’s operations.
