TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY MATERIAL AND VOTING

Why did I Receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the Mail instead of a Full Set of Proxy Materials?

We are pleased to take advantage of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rule that allows companies to furnish their proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent to our shareholders of record a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet free of charge or to request a paper copy may be found in the Notice. Our shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically on an ongoing basis. A shareholder's election to receive proxy materials by mail or electronically will remain in effect until the shareholder changes its election.

What Does it Mean if I Receive More than One Notice?

If you receive more than one Notice, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please follow the voting instructions on each Notice to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

How do I attend the Annual Meeting?

The Annual Meeting will be held virtually on December 27, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern at [*].

Who May Attend the Annual Meeting?

Only record holders and beneficial owners of our common stock, or their duly authorized proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares of common stock are held in street name, you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement or other documentation reflecting your stock ownership as of the Record Date (as defined herein).

Who is Entitled to Vote?

The Board has fixed the close of business on [*], 2024 as the record date (the "Record Date") for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. On the Record Date, there were shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock represents one vote that may be voted on each proposal that may come before the Annual Meeting.

What is the Difference Between Holding Shares as a Record Holder and as a Beneficial Owner (Holding Shares in Street Name)?

If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc., you are the "record holder" of those shares. If you are a record holder, these proxy materials have been provided directly to you by the Company.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of those shares held in "street name." If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials have been forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares.

What am I Voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

1. To elect four (4) members to our Board of Directors; and

2. To authorize the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada (the "Reincorporation").

What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote on those matters in accordance with their best judgment.

How Do I Vote?

Stockholders of Record

For your convenience, record holders of our common stock have four methods of voting:

1. Vote by Internet. The website address for Internet voting is [*] (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you access the website);

2. Vote by mail. If you received (or requested and received) a printed copy of the proxy materials, Mark, date, sign and promptly mail the enclosed proxy card (a signed and dated) in the envelope provided;

3. Vote by fax. Mark, date, sign and promptly fax the enclosed proxy card to the fax number on your proxy card; or

4. Vote online. Vote online at the 2024 annual Meeting at [*].

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may not vote your shares virtually at the 2024 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the bank, broker or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares virtually at the 2024 Annual Meeting. A voting instruction card has been provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you receive a voting instruction card, you can vote by completing and returning the voting instruction card. Please be sure to mark your voting choices on your voting instruction card before you return it. You may also be able to vote via the Internet or by fax. Please refer to the instructions provided with your voting instruction card for information about voting.

As a beneficial owner, you may direct your broker, bank, fiduciary, custodian, or other nominee how to vote shares they hold on your behalf. If that organization is not given specific directions on how to vote, your shares held in the name of that organization may not be voted, which is sometimes referred to as a "broker non-vote." New York Stock Exchange Rule 452.11 prohibits brokers and other organizations holding shares on your behalf from voting uninstructed shares on certain matters deemed to be "non-routine". Brokers and other organizations may, however, vote your uninstructed shares for proposals that are considered "routine."

Brokers may reach conclusions regarding the ability to vote your shares on a given proposal that differ from our expectations expressed in this proxy statement. As a result, we urge you to direct your broker, bank, fiduciary, custodian, or other nominee how to vote your shares on all proposals to ensure that your vote is counted.

All shares entitled to vote on a matter and represented by a properly completed and executed proxy received before the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as instructed in a proxy delivered before the Annual Meeting. If you do not indicate how your shares should be voted on a matter, we expect that the shares represented by your properly completed and executed proxy will be voted as the Board recommends on routine proposals, with regard to any other matters that may be properly presented at the Annual Meeting and on all matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting for which your broker, bank, fiduciary, custodian, or other nominee concludes it is entitled to vote your uninstructed shares. If you are a registered shareholder and attend the Annual Meeting, you may deliver your completed proxy card in person. If you are a street name shareholder and wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds your shares. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.

How Many Votes do I Have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of common stock you own as of the close of business on the Record Date.

Is My Vote Confidential?

Yes, your vote is confidential. Only the inspector of elections, individuals who help with processing and counting your votes and persons who need access for legal reasons will have access to your vote. This information will not be disclosed, except as required by law.

What Constitutes a Quorum?

To carry on business at the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum is present when thirty-three and one-third percent (33 and 1/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote as of the Record Date, are represented in person or by proxy. Thus, [*] shares must be represented in person or by proxy to have a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote online at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Shares owned by us are not considered outstanding or considered to be present at the Annual Meeting. If there is not a quorum at the Annual Meeting, the chairperson of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting.

How Will my Shares be Voted if I Give No Specific Instruction?

We must vote your shares as you have instructed. If there is a matter on which a stockholder of record has given no specific instruction but has authorized us generally to vote the shares, they will be voted as follows:

1. "FOR" the election of each of the four (4) members to our Board of Directors; and

2. "FOR" the approval of the Reincorporation;

This authorization would exist, for example, if a stockholder of record merely signs, dates and returns the proxy card but does not indicate how its shares are to be voted on one or more proposals. If other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting and you do not provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the proxies.

If your shares are held in street name, we expect that banks, brokers and other such holders of record will vote shares as you have instructed. see "What is a Broker Non-Vote?" below regarding the ability of banks, brokers and other such holders of record to vote the uninstructed shares of their customers or other beneficial owners.

How are Votes Counted?

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count, for the election of directors, "FOR," "WITHHOLD" and broker non-votes; and, with respect to the other proposals, votes "FOR" and "AGAINST," abstentions and broker non-votes.

What is a Broker Non-Vote?

If your shares are held in street name, we urge you to instruct the organization who holds your shares how to vote your shares. If you sign your proxy card but do not provide instructions on how your broker should vote on "routine" proposals, your broker may vote your shares as recommended by the Board. If you do not provide voting instructions, we expect that your shares will not be voted on any "non-routine" proposals. This vote is called a "broker non-vote." Accordingly, we expect that broker non-votes will not be included in the tabulation of the voting results of any of the "non-routine" proposals and, therefore, will have no effect on the voting results of such proposals.

We expect that brokers, banks, fiduciaries, custodians, or other nominees holding shares in street name for beneficial owners will not use discretionary authority to vote shares on the election of directors (Proposal 1) or the Reincorporation (Proposal 2) if they have not received instructions from their clients. Please submit your vote instruction form so your vote is counted.

What is an Abstention?

An abstention is a stockholder's affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws ("Bylaws") provide that, except as otherwise expressly provided by statute, an action of our stockholders (other than the election of directors) is only approved if thirty-three and one-third percent (33 and 1/3%) of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the number of shares of stock present and entitled to vote thereon vote in favor of such action. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the reincorporation requires the approval of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock entitled to vote thereon.

How Many Votes are Needed for Each Proposal to Pass?

What Are the Voting Procedures?

In voting by proxy with regard to the election of directors, you may vote "for" or "withhold" as to each nominee. With regard to other proposals, you may vote "for," "against" or "abstain" for each proposal. You should specify your respective choices on the accompanying proxy card or your vote instruction form.

Is My Proxy Revocable?

You may revoke your proxy and reclaim your right to vote at any time before your proxy is voted by giving written notice to our Secretary, by delivering a properly completed, later-dated proxy card or vote instruction form or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocations of proxies should be addressed to: Gaxos.ai Inc., 101 Eisenhower Parkway Suite 300, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068. Your most current proxy card or Internet proxy is the one that will be counted.

Who is Paying for the Expenses Involved in Preparing and Mailing this Proxy Statement?

All of the expenses involved in preparing, assembling and mailing these proxy materials and all costs of soliciting proxies will be paid by us. In addition to the solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by our officers and other employees by telephone or in person. Such persons will receive no compensation for their services other than their regular salaries. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares held of record by such persons, and we may reimburse such persons for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding solicitation materials.

Do I Have Dissenters' Rights of Appraisal?

Our shareholders do not have appraisal rights with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

How can I Find out the Results of the Voting at the Annual Meeting?

Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Form 8-K to publish the final results.

When are Stockholder Proposals Due for the 2024 Annual Meeting?

Stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our 2025 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting") must submit the proposal to us at our corporate headquarters no later than [*] 2025, which proposal must be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. In the event the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the 2024 Annual Meeting, stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for presentation at our 2025 Annual Meeting must submit the proposal to us at our corporate headquarters no later than a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials for our 2025 Annual Meeting.

Stockholders who intend to present a proposal at our 2025 Annual Meeting without inclusion of the proposal in our proxy materials are required to provide notice of such proposal to our Secretary so that such notice is received by our Secretary at our principal executive office on or after [*], 2025 but no later than [*], 2025; provided, however, if the date of the 2025 Annual Meeting is convened more than 30 days before, or delayed by more than 60 days after, [*], 2025, to be considered for inclusion in proxy materials for our 2025 Annual Meeting, a stockholder proposal must be submitted in writing to our Secretary at Gaxos.ai Inc., 101 Eisenhower Parkway Suite 300, Roseland, NJ, 07068 and received no earlier than the Close of Business (as defined in the Bylaws) on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the Close of Business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which Public Announcement (as defined in the Bylaws) of the date of such meeting is first made by the Company.

In order for stockholders to give timely notice of nominations for directors for inclusion on a universal proxy card in connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting, notice must be submitted by the same deadline as disclosed above under the advance notice provisions of our Bylaws and such notice must include all the information required by Rule 14a-19(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and such stockholders must comply with all of the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

Stockholders are also advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements relating to stockholder proposals and director nominations, including who may submit them and what information must be included.

We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

Do the Company's Officers and Directors have an Interest in Any of the Matters to Be Acted Upon at the Annual Meeting?

Members of the Board have an interest in Proposal 1, the election to the Board of the four director nominees set forth herein. Members of the Board and our executive officers do not have any interest in Proposal 2, the Reincorporation.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently consists of four directors, and their terms will expire at the 2024 Annual Meeting. Directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders each year and hold office until their resignation or removal or their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Vadim Mats, Scott Grayson, Adam Holzer and Alex Kisin have each been nominated to serve as directors and have agreed to stand for election. If the nominees are elected at the 2024 Annual Meeting, then each nominee will serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2025 Annual Meeting and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Under our Amended and Restated Bylaws, a plurality of the votes cast at the 2024 Annual Meeting is required to elect a nominee as a director. With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR or WITHHOLD with respect to each director nominee. Any nominee receiving more votes FOR than WITHHOLD will be elected. If you WITHHOLD, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Proposal 1 is a non-discretionary matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee in "street name" and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, we expect that your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee will not vote your shares on Proposal 1. Shares held in "street name" by banks, brokerage firms, or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have authority to vote the shares on Proposal 1 will not be counted as votes FOR or WITHHOLD any nominee. As a result, such "broker non-votes" or voting to WITHHOLD will have no effect on the voting results of Proposal 1.

If no contrary indication is made, with the potential exception of proxies submitted for shares held in street name, proxies will be voted "FOR" Vadim Mats, Scott Grayson, Adam Holzer and Alex Kisin or, in the event that any such individual is unable to serve as a director at the time of the election (which is not currently expected), for any nominee who is designated by our Board to fill the vacancy.

Recommendation of our Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote "FOR" the election of all of our director nominees at the 2024 Annual Meeting.

Information with Respect to Director Nominees

Listed below are the current directors who are nominated to hold office until their successors are elected and qualified, and their ages as of [*], 2024.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

We are not aware of any of our directors or officers being involved in any legal proceedings in the past ten years relating to any matters in bankruptcy, insolvency, criminal proceedings (other than traffic and other minor offenses), or being subject to any of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

We believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that our Company is managed for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. This section describes key corporate governance practices that we have adopted. We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which applies to all of our officers, directors and employees and charters for our audit committee, our compensation committee and our nominating and corporate governance committee. We have posted copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, as well as each of our committee charters, on the Governance Documents page of the For Investors section of our website, https://gaxos.ai, which you can access free of charge. Information contained on the website is not incorporated by reference in, or considered part of, this proxy statement.

We will also provide copies of these documents as well as our other corporate governance documents, free of charge, to any shareholder upon written request to Gaxos.ai Inc. 101 Eisenhower Pkwy Suite 300, Roseland, New Jersey 07068 Attn: Corporate Secretary.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Company does not have a formal policy regarding the separation of its Chair and Chief Executive Officer positions. Vadim Mats serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Due to the size of our Company, we believe that this structure is appropriate. We believe that the fact that three of the four members of the Board are independent reinforces the independence of the Board in its oversight of our business and affairs, and provides for objective evaluation and oversight of management's performance, as well as management accountability. Furthermore, the Board believes that Mr. Mats is best situated to serve as Chairman because he is the director most familiar with the Company's business and industry and is also the person most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of corporate strategy. In addition, the Board believes that the combined role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer strengthens the communication between the Board and management. Further, as the individual with primary responsibility for managing day-to-day operations, Mr. Mats is best positioned to chair regular Board meetings and ensure that key business issues and risks are brought to the attention of our Board. We therefore believe that the creation of a lead independent director position is not necessary at this time.

Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance

The Board of Directors and its committees meet regularly throughout the year and also hold special meetings and act by written consent from time to time. During the 2023 fiscal year, the Board of Directors held 4 meetings. In addition, our audit committee, our compensation committee and our nominating and corporate governance committee held 4, 1 and 0 meetings, respectively. During the 2023 fiscal year, none of our directors attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings held by the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which he served. The independent members of the Board of Directors also meet separately without management directors on a regular basis to discuss such matters as the independent directors consider appropriate.

Director Independence

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, independent directors must constitute a majority of a listed company's Board of Directors. In addition, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company's Audit, Compensation, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee must be an "independent director." Under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, a director will only qualify as an "independent director" if, in the opinion of that company's board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Additionally, compensation committee members must not have a relationship with the listed company that is material to the director's ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (i) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or (ii) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, our Board of Directors determined that Alex Kisin, Adam Holzer and Scott A. Grayson, representing three of our four incumbent directors, are "independent directors" as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. In making these determinations, our Board of Directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and us with regard to each directors' business and personal activities and relationships as they may relate to us and our management, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director and any affiliates.

Board Committees

Our board of directors directs the management of our business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and conducts its business through meetings of the board of directors and its standing committees. We have a standing audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee. In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the board of directors when necessary to address specific issues.

Audit Committee. The audit committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board in its duty to oversee the Company's accounting, financial reporting, and internal control functions and the audit of the Company's financial statements. The role of the audit committee is to oversee management in the performance of its responsibility for the integrity of the Company's accounting and financial reporting and its systems of internal controls, the performance and qualifications of the Company's independent auditor, including the independent auditor's independence, the performance of the Company's internal audit function; and the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Our audit committee consists of Scott A. Grayson, Alex Kisin, and Adam Holzer, with Mr. Grayson serving as chair. Each member of our audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq rules. In addition, our board of directors has determined that Scott A. Grayson will qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Our board of directors have adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on our principal corporate website at https://gaxos.ai.

Compensation Committee. The compensation committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending, among other things: the adequacy and form of compensation of the board; the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, including base salary, incentive bonus, stock option and other grant, award and benefits upon hiring and on an annual basis; the compensation of other senior management upon hiring and on an annual basis; and our incentive compensation and other equity-based plans and recommending changes to such plans to our board of directors, when necessary.

Our compensation committee consists of Adam Holzer, Scott A. Grayson, and Alex Kisin, with Mr. Holzer serving as chair. Our board of directors have adopted a written charter for the compensation committee, which is available on our principal corporate website at https://gaxos.ai.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things: developing criteria for membership on the board of directors and committees; identifying individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors; recommending persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each committee of the board of directors; annually reviewing our corporate governance guidelines; and monitoring and evaluating the performance of the board of directors and leading the board in an annual self-assessment of its practices and effectiveness.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Alex Kisin, Adam Holzer, and Scott A. Grayson, with Mr. Kisin serving as chair. Our board of directors will adopt a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee, which is available on our principal corporate website at https://gaxos.ai.

Board Diversity Matrix

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is committed to promoting diversity on our Board of Directors. We have surveyed our current directors and asked each director to self-identify their race, ethnicity, and gender using one or more of the below categories. The results of this survey as of the Record Date are included in the matrixes below.

Medical Advisory Board

In February 2024, our Board of Directors formed a Medical Advisory Board. As of the Record Date, the members of such board are (i) Jeff R. Pavell, M.D.; (ii) Eric J. Margolis, M.D. and (iii) Nathaniel E. Lebowitz, M.D.

Code of Business Code and Ethics Conduct

We have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the code posted on our website, https://gaxos.ai. In addition, we intend to post on our website all disclosures that are required by law or rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code.

Insider Trading Policy and Anti-hedging

We do not currently have a policy prohibiting employees, officers, or directors from engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company's equity securities.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

We invite and encourage each member of our Board of Directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. We do not have a formal policy regarding attendance of our annual meetings of stockholders by the members of our Board of Directors.

Shareholder Communications with our Board

Shareholders and other interested persons seeking to communicate with our Board must submit their written communications to our Corporate Secretary Gaxos.ai Inc. 101 Eisenhower Pkwy Suite 300, Roseland, New Jersey 07068. Such communications must include the number of Company securities owned, beneficially or otherwise, by the person issuing the communication. Depending on the subject matter of the communication, our Corporate Secretary will do one of the following:

• forward the communication to the Board or any individual member of our Board to whom any communication is specifically addressed;

• attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example where it is a request for information about our Company or it is a stock related matter; or

• not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature, if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic, or if it is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or otherwise inappropriate.

Our Board (and any individual director to whom the communication was specifically addressed) will determine what further steps are appropriate depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

Except for employment arrangements which are described under "Executive Compensation," during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there have not been, nor are there currently proposed, any transaction in which we are or were a participant, the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of the total assets at December 31, 2023, and any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our Common Stock, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Related Person Transaction Policy

We have adopted a related person transaction policy that sets forth our procedures for the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of related person transactions. For purposes of our policy only, a related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which we and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of our total assets at year-end for our last two completed fiscal years. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee or director are not covered by this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Under the policy, if a transaction has been identified as a related person transaction, including any transaction that was not a related person transaction when originally consummated or any transaction that was not initially identified as a related person transaction prior to consummation, our management must present information regarding the related person transaction to our audit committee, or, if audit committee approval would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors, for review, consideration and approval or ratification. The presentation must include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the interests, direct and indirect, of the related persons, the benefits to us of the transaction and whether the transaction is on terms that are comparable to the terms available to or from, as the case may be, an unrelated third party or to or from employees generally. Under the policy, we will collect information that we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant shareholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related-person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our code of business conduct and ethics, our employees and directors will have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest. In considering related person transactions, our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of directors, will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:

• the risks, costs and benefits to us;

• the impact on a director's independence in the event that the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

• the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

• the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.

The policy requires that, in determining whether to approve, ratify or reject a related person transaction, our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of directors, must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and those of our shareholders, as our audit committee, or other independent body of our board of directors, determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

PROPOSAL 2: AUTHORIZATION TO REINCORPORATE THE COMPANY IN THE STATE OF NEVADA

Our Board of Directors has approved and recommends to the stockholders a proposal to change the Company's state of incorporation from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada (the "Reincorporation"). If our stockholders approve the proposal, we will effect the Reincorporation by converting (the "Conversion") the corporation as provided in the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") and the Nevada Revised Statutes (the "NRS"). For the purposes of this proposal, we sometimes refer to the Company as "Gaxos-DE" prior to the Reincorporation and "Gaxos-NV" after the Reincorporation. Reincorporation in Nevada will not result in a material change in our business, management, assets, liabilities or net worth and will allow us to take advantage of certain provisions of the corporate and tax laws of Nevada.

Reasons for the Reincorporation in Nevada

Our Board of Directors believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Nevada is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. First of all, the Reincorporation will eliminate our obligation to pay the annual Delaware franchise tax, which we expect will result in substantial savings to us over the long term. For tax year 2023, we paid approximately $[•] in Delaware franchise taxes. We anticipate that, if we remain a Delaware corporation, for tax year 2024, our Delaware franchise taxes will continue to be $200,000 (based on our current capital structure and assets). If we reincorporate in Nevada, our annual fees will consist of an annual business license fee of $500, an annual domestic agent representation fee of $175, and an annual fee based on the number of authorized shares and their par value, currently equal to $300.

In addition, the Reincorporation may help us attract and retain qualified management by reducing the risk of lawsuits being filed against the Company and its directors and officers. We believe that, for the reasons described below, in general, Nevada law provides greater protection to our directors, officers and the Company than Delaware law. The increasing frequency of claims and litigation directed towards directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers in general of public companies in exercising their duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to these claims and to defend this type of litigation can be substantial. Delaware law provides that every person becoming a director or an officer of a Delaware corporation consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware courts in connection with any action concerning the corporation. Accordingly, both directors and officers can be personally sued in Delaware, even though the director or officer has no other contacts with the state. Similarly, Nevada law provides that every person who accepts election or appointment, including reelection or reappointment, as a director or officer of a Nevada corporation consents to the personal jurisdiction of the Nevada courts in connection with all civil actions or proceedings brought in Nevada by, on behalf of or against the entity in which the director or officer is a necessary or proper party, or in any action or proceeding against the director or officer for a violation of a duty in such capacity, whether or not the person continues to serve as a director or officer at the time the action or proceeding is commenced. Though Delaware corporate law has recently been amended to, among other things, increase protections for officers of a corporation, we believe Nevada is more advantageous than Delaware because Nevada has pursued a statute-focused approach that does not depend upon judicial supplementation and revision, and is intended to be stable, predictable and more efficient, whereas much of Delaware corporate law still consists of judicial decisions that migrate and develop over time.

Also, reincorporation in Nevada will provide potentially greater protection for directors and officers of the Company. Delaware law permits a corporation to adopt provisions limiting or eliminating the liability of a director or an officer to a company and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that the liability does not arise from certain proscribed conduct, including breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. By contrast, Nevada law permits a broader exclusion of liability of both officers and directors to the Company and its stockholders, providing for an exclusion of all monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty unless they arise from acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The reincorporation will result in the elimination of any liability of an officer or director for a breach of the duty of loyalty unless arising from intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. There is currently no known pending claim or litigation against any of our directors or officers for breach of fiduciary duty related to their service as directors or officers of the Company. The directors have an interest in the Reincorporation to the extent that they will be entitled to such limitation of liability.

Further, a reincorporation in Nevada will provide certain corporate flexibility in connection with certain corporate transactions, including reverse stock splits, as discussed below under "Comparative Rights of Stockholders under Delaware and Nevada Law."

The Reincorporation is not being effected to prevent a change in control, nor is it in response to any present attempt known to our Board to acquire control of the Company or obtain representation on our Board. Nevertheless, certain effects of the proposed reincorporation may be considered to have anti-takeover implications by virtue of being subject to Nevada law. For a discussion of differences between the laws of Delaware and Nevada, including differences that may have anti-takeover implications, see "Comparative Rights of Stockholders Before and After the Reincorporation" below.

Material Terms of the Conversion

The process for reincorporating the Company from Delaware to Nevada calls for the certificate of conversion to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and for the Nevada articles of incorporation and articles of conversion to be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State at approximately the time desired for the Reincorporation to take effect.

The Plan of Conversion

The Reincorporation will be effected pursuant to the plan of conversion to be entered into by the Company (the "Plan of Conversion"). The plan of conversion provides that the Company will convert into a Nevada corporation, which will continue with all of the assets, rights, privileges and powers of Gaxos-DE, and all property owned by Gaxos-DE, all debts due to Gaxos-DE, as well as all other causes of action belonging to Gaxos-DE immediately prior to the conversion, remaining vested in Gaxos-NV following the conversion. Gaxos-NV will remain as the same entity following the conversion. The directors and officers of Gaxos-DE immediately prior to the conversion will be the directors and officers of Gaxos-NV. The Plan of Conversion is attached hereto as Appendix A.

Pursuant to the Reincorporation, Gaxos-NV will assume all of Gaxos-DE's obligations related to convertible equity securities and other rights to purchase Gaxos-DE Common Stock. Gaxos-DE's outstanding convertible and exercisable securities consist of warrants and options to purchase Gaxos-DE Common Stock. Each outstanding warrant and option to purchase shares of Gaxos-DE Common Stock will be converted into a warrant and option to purchase a number of shares of Gaxos-NV Common Stock on the same terms and conditions as in effect immediately prior to the Reincorporation.

Effect of Vote for the Reincorporation

A vote in favor of the Reincorporation proposal is a vote to approve the plan of conversion and therefore the Reincorporation. A vote in favor of the Reincorporation proposal is also effectively a vote in favor of the Nevada articles of incorporation and bylaws.

If the Reincorporation proposal fails to obtain the requisite vote for approval, the Reincorporation will not be consummated and the Company will continue to be incorporated in Delaware and be subject to the Company's existing Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

Effective Time

If the Reincorporation proposal is approved, the Reincorporation will become effective upon the filing of, and at the date and time specified in (as applicable), the certificate of conversion filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware and the articles of conversion and articles of incorporation are filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada, in each case, upon acceptance thereof by the Nevada Secretary of State and the Delaware Secretary of State. If the Reincorporation proposal is approved, it is anticipated that the board of directors will cause the Reincorporation to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable. However, the Reincorporation may be delayed by the board of directors or the plan of conversion may be terminated and abandoned by action of the board of directors at any time prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation, whether before or after the approval by the Company's stockholders, if the board of directors determines for any reason that the consummation of the Reincorporation should be delayed or would be inadvisable or not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, as the case may be.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reincorporation

The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation to U.S. holders (as defined below). This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential U.S. federal income tax consequences, and does not describe any state, local, or non-U.S. income, estate, gift, or other tax consequences, of the Reincorporation. This discussion is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), current, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative decisions and rulings as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and all of which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion is limited to U.S. holders that hold our Common Stock as a "capital asset" within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a U.S. holder's particular circumstances or to persons subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, without limitation, banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, cooperatives, tax-exempt organizations, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, persons holding shares of our Common Stock as part of a hedge, straddle, or other risk reduction strategy or as part of a conversion transaction or other integrated investment, U.S. expatriates, U.S. holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, non-U.S. persons, partnerships or other pass-through entities or arrangements for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or holders of interests in such entities or arrangements), and persons who hold or receive our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation. No ruling will be sought from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not take a contrary position to the U.S. federal income tax consequences described below or that any such contrary position will not be sustained by a court.

For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock, that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source, or (4) a trust (A) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision of the trust and one or more "United States persons" (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (B) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including, for this purpose, any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, a holder of our Common Stock that is a partnership, and the partners in such partnership, should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reincorporation.

The Reincorporation is intended to qualify as a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Assuming that the Reincorporation qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code:

• U.S. holders will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reincorporation;

• the aggregate tax basis of the shares of Gaxos-NV Common Stock deemed received in the Reincorporation by a U.S. holder will be equal to the U.S. holder's aggregate tax basis of the shares of Gaxos-DE Common Stock converted therefor;

• the holding period of the shares of Gaxos-NV Common Stock deemed received in the Reincorporation by a U.S. holder will include the U.S. holder's holding period of the shares of Gaxos-DE common stock converted therefor; and

• no gain or loss will be recognized by the Company as a result of the Reincorporation.

THE DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, NOT SHOULD IT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE. MOREOVER, THIS DISCUSSION DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY NON-INCOME, STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REINCORPORATION. ALL HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY COMMON STOCK SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REINCORPORATION TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, NON-U.S. AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Securities Act Consequences

The shares of Gaxos-NV common stock to be issued in exchange for shares of our common stock are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). In that respect, the Gaxos-NV is relying on Rule 145(a)(2) under the Securities Act, which provides that a conversion that has as its sole purpose a change in a corporation's domicile does not involve the sale of securities for purposes of the Securities Act. After the Reincorporation, Gaxos-NV will be a publicly held company, and it will file with the SEC and provide to its stockholders the same type of information that we have previously filed and provided. Stockholders, whose shares of our common stock are freely tradable before the Reincorporation will continue to have freely tradable shares of Gaxos-NV common stock. Stockholders holding restricted shares of Gaxos-NV common stock will be subject to the same restrictions on transfer as those to which their present shares of our common stock are subject. In summary, the Gaxos-NV and its stockholders will be in the same respective positions under the federal securities laws after the Reincorporation as the Company and our stockholders prior to the Reincorporation.

No Exchange of Stock Certificates Required

Stockholders are not required to exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing shares of Gaxos-NV common stock. New stock certificates representing shares of Gaxos-NV common stock will not be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder submits one or more existing certificates for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition. However, stockholders (at their option and at their expense) may exchange their stock certificates for new certificates representing shares of Gaxos-NV common stock, as the case may be, following the Effective Time of the Conversion.

No Appraisal Rights

Under the DGCL, our stockholders are not entitled to dissenter's or appraisal rights with respect to the Reincorporation described in this Proposal 2.

Potential Disadvantages of the Reincorporation

Because of Delaware's prominence as a state of incorporation for many large corporations, the Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to Delaware corporations. While Nevada also has encouraged incorporation in that state and has adopted comprehensive, modern and flexible statutes that it periodically updates and revises to meet changing business needs, because Nevada case law concerning the effects of its statutes and regulations is more limited, the Company and its stockholders may experience less predictability with respect to the legality of certain corporate affairs and transactions and stockholders' rights to challenge them, to the extent Nevada's statutes do not provide a clear answer and a Nevada court must make a determination.

In addition, underwriters and other members of the financial services industry may be less willing and able to assist the Company with capital-raising programs because they might perceive Nevada's laws as being less flexible or developed than those of Delaware. Certain investment funds, sophisticated investors and brokerage firms may likewise be less comfortable and less willing to invest in a corporation incorporated in a jurisdiction other than Delaware whose corporate laws may be less understood or perceived to be unresponsive to stockholder rights.

Further, a reincorporation in Nevada will provide certain corporate flexibility in connection with certain corporate transactions, including reverse stock splits, whereby our Board of Directors may be able to take certain actions without the need for stockholder approval, as discussed under "Comparative Rights of Stockholders under Delaware and Nevada Law."

Comparative Rights of Stockholders Before and After the Reincorporation

Upon consummation of the Reincorporation, the outstanding shares of our common stock will be converted into shares of Gaxos-NV's common stock. Consequently, our common stockholders, whose rights as stockholders are currently governed by the DGCL and the Company's current Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, will become common stockholders of Gaxos-NV (as the surviving corporation) whose rights will be governed by the NRS and the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of Gaxos-NV, which are attached hereto as Appendix B and Appendix C, respectively.

Because of differences between the NRS and the DGCL, as well as differences between the Company's governing documents before and after the Reincorporation, the Reincorporation will effect certain changes in the rights of the Company's stockholders. Summarized below are the most significant provisions of the NRS and DGCL, along with the differences between the rights of the stockholders of the Company before and after the Reincorporation that will result from the differences among the NRS and the DGCL and the differences between Gaxos-DE's certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Gaxos-NV's articles of incorporation and bylaws. The summary below is not an exhaustive list of all differences or a complete description of the differences described, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NRS, the DGCL, Gaxos-DE's certificate of incorporation and Gaxos-DE's bylaws and Gaxos-NV's articles of incorporation, Gaxos-NV's bylaws.

Vote Required

The approval and adoption of the Reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" APPROVAL OF THE REINCORPORATION.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of the Record Date by (i) each person known to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our named executive officers and (iv) all of our directors and named executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws, where applicable.

____________

* Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1%.

(1) Percent of beneficial ownership is based on [*] shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date. Beneficial ownership information has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under Rule 13d-3, certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant or upon vesting of RSUs or restricted stock or upon conversion of a convertible security) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage beneficial ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person by reason of such acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in the table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual voting power as of the date the information is provided, or any particular date.

(2) Includes 16,667 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date.

(3) Includes 1,667 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date.

(4) Includes 2,083 shares of common stock subject to stock options that are exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date.

(5) The address of each holder listed above, except as otherwise indicated, is 101 Eisenhower Parkway, Suite 300, Roseland, NJ, 07068.

(6) The calculation in this column is based upon shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to the subject securities. Shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or convertible within 60 days of the Record Date are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of any other person.

(7) The ability to exercise the pre-funded warrants is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation that, at the time of initial issuance of the pre-funded warrants, was capped at 9.99% beneficial ownership of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock (post-exercise). Beneficial ownership as reflected in the beneficial ownership table reflects (i) 108,000 shares of common stock, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 520,367 shares of common stock that are exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date, and does not give effect to the beneficial ownership limitations. Accordingly, actual beneficial ownership, as calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 thereunder may be lower than as reflected in the table.

(8) The securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the "Master Fund"), and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC ("Armistice Capital"), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. The pre-funded warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 9.99%, which such limitation restricts the holder from exercising that portion of the pre-warrants that would result in the holder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

(9) Includes (i) 16,600 shares of common stock, (ii) 978,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of pre-funded warrants and (iii) 2,513,468 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The following table summarizes information about our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2023.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

The SEC has adopted rules known as "householding" that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to deliver one set of proxy materials to multiple shareholders residing at the same address. This process enables us to reduce our printing and distribution costs and reduce our environmental impact. Householding is available to both registered shareholders and beneficial owners of shares held in street name.

Registered Shareholders

If you are a registered shareholder and have consented to householding, then we will deliver or mail one Notice or set of our proxy materials, as applicable, for all registered shareholders residing at the same address. Your consent will continue unless you revoke it, which you may do at any time by providing notice to the Company's Corporate Secretary by telephone at (973) 275-7428 or by mail at 101 Eisenhower Pkwy Suite 300, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068. In addition, the Company will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the 2023 Annual Report, proxy statement, or Notice to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

If you are a registered shareholder who has not consented to householding, then we will continue to deliver or mail Notices or copies of our proxy materials, as applicable, to each registered shareholder residing at the same address. You may elect to participate in householding and receive only one Notice or set of proxy materials, as applicable, for all registered shareholders residing at the same address by providing notice to the Company as described above.

Street Name Holders

Shareholders who hold their shares through a brokerage may elect to participate in householding, or revoke their consent to participate in householding, by contacting their respective brokers.

ANNUAL REPORT

This proxy statement is accompanied by our 2023 Annual Report which includes our audited financial statements. We have filed the 2023 Annual Report with the SEC, and it is available free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on our website at https://gaxos.ai. In addition, upon written request to the Company's Corporate Secretary at 101 Eisenhower Pkwy Suite 300, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068, we will mail a paper copy of our 2023 Annual Report, including the financial statements and the financial statement schedules, to you free of charge.

OTHER MATTERS

We do not know of any business that will be presented for consideration or action by the shareholders at the 2024 Annual Meeting other than that described in this proxy statement. If, however, any other business is properly brought before the meeting, shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person named in the proxies or their substitutes. All shareholders are urged to complete, sign and return the proxy card.
