You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RSSS2025.

This year, we have elected to use the Internet as our primary means of providing our proxy materials to stockholders.

The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also includes instructions on how you can vote using the Internet, by telephone or at the virtual Annual Meeting via live webcast, and how you can request and receive, free of charge, a printed copy of our proxy materials. All stockholders who do not receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will receive a paper copy of the proxy materials by mail.

Our board of directors has fixed September 22, 2025 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof, and only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date are entitled to notice and to vote at the Annual Meeting. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available at the Annual Meeting and at the offices of the Company for 10 days prior to the Annual Meeting.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting via live webcast, please vote by telephone or the Internet by following the voting procedures described in the proxy materials. If you received printed proxy materials and wish to vote by mail, promptly complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card and return it in the accompanying envelope.

PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 12, 2025

INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Our board of directors solicits your proxy for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), and for any postponement or adjournment of the Annual Meeting, for the purposes described in the “Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.” The table below shows some important details about the Annual Meeting and voting. Additional information is available in the “Frequently Asked Questions” section of the proxy statement immediately below the table. We use the terms “Research Solutions,” “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this proxy statement to refer to Research Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation.

The Notice of Annual Meeting, proxy statement, proxy card and copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) are first being made available to our stockholders on or about September 26, 2025.

Certain documents referenced in the proxy statement are available on our website. However, we are not including the information contained on our website, or any information that may be accessed by links on our website, as part of, or incorporating it by reference into, this proxy statement.

Meeting Details		November 12, 2025, 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time
Virtual Meeting		To participate in the Annual Meeting virtually via the Internet, please visit: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RSSS2025. To access the Annual Meeting you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, included on your proxy card, or provided through your broker. Stockholders will be able to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting.
Record Date		September 22, 2025
Shares Outstanding		There were 32,821,783 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date.
Eligibility to Vote		Holders of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share held as of the Record Date.
Quorum		A majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, by proxy or via live webcast, as of the Record Date constitutes a quorum. A quorum is required to transact business at the Annual Meeting.
Voting Methods		Stockholders whose shares are registered in their names with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, our transfer agent (referred to as “Stockholders of Record”) may vote by proxy via the Internet, phone, or mail by following the instructions on the accompanying proxy card. Stockholders of Record may also vote at the virtual Annual Meeting. Stockholders whose shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee (referred to as “Beneficial Owners”) must follow the voting instructions provided by their brokers or other nominees. See “What is the difference between holding shares as a Stockholder of Record and as a Beneficial Owner?” and “How do I vote and what are the voting deadlines?” below for additional information.
Inspector of Elections		We will appoint an Inspector of Elections to determine whether a quorum is present, and to tabulate the votes cast by proxy or at the Annual Meeting via live webcast.
Voting Results		We will announce preliminary results at the Annual Meeting. We will report final results on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as soon as practicable after the Annual Meeting.

These costs include preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing notices, proxy statements, proxy cards and our 2025 Annual Report. Our directors, officers and other employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, e-mail or other means of communication, and we will reimburse them for any related expenses. We will also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy materials to the Beneficial Owners of the shares that the nominees hold in their names.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What matters am I voting on?

You will be voting on:

	●	The election of six directors to hold office until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2026 Annual Meeting”) or until their successors are duly elected and qualified;
	●	A proposal to ratify the appointment of Wipfli LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026;
	●	A non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation;
	●	A non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation; and
	●	Any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

How does our board of directors recommend that I vote?

Our board of directors recommends that you vote:

	●	FOR the election of the six directors nominated by our board of directors and named in this proxy statement as directors to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified;
	●	FOR the ratification of the appointment of Wipfli LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026;
	●	FOR endorsement of the compensation of our executive officers; and
	●	FOR holding the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every 1 YEAR.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials?

Instead of mailing printed copies to each of our stockholders, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet under the SEC’s “notice and access” rules. These rules allow us to make our stockholders aware of the Annual Meeting and the availability of our proxy materials by sending the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or the Notice, which provides instructions for how to access the full set of proxy materials through the Internet or make a request to have printed proxy materials delivered by mail. Accordingly, on or about September 26, 2025, we mailed the Notice to each of our stockholders. The Notice contains instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, each of which is available at www.proxyvote.com. The Notice also provides instructions on how to vote your shares through the Internet, by telephone, by mail or virtually at the Annual Meeting.

What is the purpose of complying with the SEC’s “notice and access” rules?

We believe compliance with the SEC’s “notice and access” rules allows us to provide our stockholders with the materials they need to make informed decisions, while lowering the costs of printing and delivering those materials and reducing the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive these materials electronically unless you elect otherwise.

Will there be any other items of business on the agenda?

If any other items of business or other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, your proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy card with respect to those items of business or other matters. The persons named on the proxy card intend to vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment. Our board of directors does not intend to bring any other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, and we are not currently aware of any matters that may be properly presented by others for action at the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

Holders of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of our common stock held as of the Record Date. Cumulative voting is not permitted with respect to the election of directors.

A complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available during the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may examine the list for any legally valid purpose related to the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between holding shares as a Stockholder of Record and as a Beneficial Owner?

Stockholders of Record. If, at the close of business on the Record Date, your shares are registered directly in your name with Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, our transfer agent, you are considered the Stockholder of Record with respect to those shares. As the Stockholder of Record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the individuals listed on the proxy card or to vote at the Annual Meeting via live webcast.

Beneficial Owners. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee on your behalf, you are considered the Beneficial Owner of shares held in “street name.” As the Beneficial Owner, you have the right to direct your broker or nominee how to vote your shares by following the voting instructions your broker or other nominee provides. In general, if you do not provide your broker or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares, your broker or nominee may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to routine matters (e.g., the ratification of the appointment of our independent auditor), but may not vote your shares with respect to any non-routine matters (e.g., the election of directors). Please see “What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?” for additional information.

How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?

Our stockholders may participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RSSS2025. You will need the 16-digit control number included on your proxy card to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the Beneficial Owner of your shares, your 16-digit control number may be included in the voting instructions form that accompanied your proxy materials. If your nominee did not provide you with a 16-digit control number in the voting instructions form that accompanied your proxy materials, you may be able to log onto the website of your nominee prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, which will automatically populate your 16-digit control number in the virtual Annual Meeting interface. Stockholders who have obtained a 16-digit control number as described above may vote or submit questions while participating in the live webcast of the Annual Meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting via live webcast.

How do I vote and what are the voting deadlines?

Stockholders of Record. Stockholders of Record can vote by proxy or by attending the Annual Meeting virtually by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/RSSS2025, where votes can be submitted via live webcast. If you vote by proxy, you can vote by Internet, telephone or by mail as described below.

	●	You may vote via the Internet or by telephone. To vote via the Internet or by telephone, follow the instructions provided in the Notice or in the proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement. If you vote via the Internet or by telephone, you do not need to return a proxy card by mail. Internet and telephone voting are available 24 hours a day. Votes submitted through the Internet or by telephone must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on November 11, 2025. Alternatively, you may request a printed proxy card by following the instructions provided in the Notice.
	●	You may vote by mail. If you would like to vote by mail, you need to complete, date and sign the proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement and promptly mail it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope so that it is received no later than November 11, 2025. You do not need to put a stamp on the enclosed envelope if you mail it from within the United States. The persons named on the proxy card will vote the shares you own in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card you mail. If you return the proxy card, but do not give any instructions on a particular matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the persons named on the proxy card will vote the shares you own in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors. Our board of directors recommends that you vote FOR each of Proposals No. 1, 2 and 3, and with respect to Proposal No. 4, for holding the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every 1 YEAR.

●

You may vote at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to vote at the Annual Meeting virtually, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your Notice or on your proxy card. If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, your 16-digit control number may be included in the voting instructions form that accompanied your proxy materials. If your nominee did not provide you with a 16-digit control number in the voting instructions form that accompanied your proxy materials, you may be able to log onto the website of your nominee prior to the start of the Annual Meeting, on which you will need to select the stockholder communications mailbox link through to the Annual Meeting, which will automatically populate your 16-digit control number in the virtual Annual Meeting interface. The method you use to vote will not limit your right to vote at the virtual Annual Meeting. All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be counted at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners. If you are the Beneficial Owner of shares held of record by a broker or other nominee, you will receive voting instructions from your broker or other nominee. You must follow the voting instructions provided by your broker or other nominee in order to instruct your broker or other nominee how to vote your shares. The availability of telephone and Internet voting options will depend on the voting process of your broker or other nominee. As discussed above, if you received your 16-digit control number in the voting instructions form that accompanied your Notice or your proxy materials, or if you are able to link through to the Annual Meeting from the website of your nominee and populate your 16-digit control number in the virtual Annual Meeting interface, you will be able to vote virtually at the Annual Meeting.

May I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a Stockholder of Record, you may revoke your proxy or change your proxy instructions at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

	●	entering a new vote by Internet or telephone;
	●	signing and returning a new proxy card with a later date;
	●	delivering a written revocation to our Secretary at the address listed on the front page of this proxy statement; or
	●	attending the Annual Meeting and voting via live webcast.

Beneficial Owners. If you are the beneficial owner of your shares, you must contact the broker or other nominee holding your shares and follow their instructions to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

What is the effect of giving a proxy?

Proxies are solicited by and on behalf of our board of directors. The persons named on the proxy card have been designated as proxy holders by our board of directors. When a proxy is properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instruction of the stockholder. If no specific instructions are given, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors (as shown on the first page of the proxy statement). If any matters not described in the proxy statement are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares. If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, the proxy holders can vote your shares on the new meeting date, unless you have properly revoked your proxy, as described above.

What if I do not specify how my shares are to be voted?

Stockholders of Record. If you are a Stockholder of Record and you submit a proxy but you do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted:

●

FOR the election of the six directors nominated by our board of directors and named in this proxy statement as directors to serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified;

	●	FOR the ratification of the appointment of Wipfli LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026;
	●	FOR endorsement of the compensation of our executive officers;
	●	FOR holding the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every 1 YEAR; and
	●	In the discretion of the named proxy holders regarding any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owners. If you are a Beneficial Owner and you do not provide your broker or other nominee that holds your shares with voting instructions, your broker or other nominee will determine if it has discretion to vote on each matter. In general, brokers and other nominees do not have discretion to vote on non-routine matters. Each of Proposal No. 1 (election of directors), Proposal No. 3 (endorsement of executive compensation) and Proposal No. 4 (frequency of vote to endorse executive compensation) is a non-routine matter, while Proposal No. 2 (ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm) is a routine matter. As a result, if you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, your broker or other nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to Proposal Nos. 1, 3 and 4, which would result in a “broker non-vote,” but may, in its discretion, vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 2. For additional information regarding broker non-votes, see “What are the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes?” below.

What is a quorum?

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Annual Meeting for the meeting to be properly held under our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Nevada law. A majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, by proxy or at the Annual Meeting via live webcast, constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. As noted above, as of the Record Date, there were a total of 32,821,783 shares of common stock outstanding, which means that 16,410,892 shares of common stock must be represented by proxy or virtually via live webcast at the Annual Meeting to have a quorum. If there is no quorum, a majority of the shares present at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the meeting to a later date.

What are the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes?

An abstention represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Under Nevada law, abstentions are considered present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum and will also count as votes against a proposal in cases where approval of the proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (Proposal Nos. 2 and 3). However, because the outcome of Proposal No. 1 (election of directors) will be determined by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, abstentions will have no impact on the outcome of the proposal as long as a quorum exists. For Proposal No. 4 (frequency of the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation), the frequency receiving the greatest number of votes cast by stockholders will be considered the advisory vote of our stockholders. If you elect to abstain from voting on this proposal, the abstention will not have any effect on the advisory vote.

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a Beneficial Owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to such proposal and has not received voting instructions from the Beneficial Owner of the shares. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Therefore, a broker non-vote will make a quorum more readily attainable but will not affect the outcome of the vote on Proposal Nos. 2, 3 and 4.

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

Proposal	Vote Required	Broker Discretionary Voting Allowed?
Proposal No. 1 – Election of directors	Plurality of voting power of shares present and entitled to vote	No
Proposal No. 2 – Ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm	Majority of voting power of shares present and entitled to vote	Yes
Proposal No. 3 – Endorsement of the compensation of executive officers	Majority of voting power of shares present and entitled to vote	No
Proposal No. 4 – Frequency of the vote endorsing the compensation of executive officers	Majority of voting power of shares present and entitled to vote, however, if none of the frequency options receives a majority of voting power of shares present and entitled to vote, the option receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency recommended by our stockholders	No

With respect to Proposal No. 1, you may vote (i) FOR all nominees, (ii) WITHHOLD your vote as to all nominees, or (iii) vote FOR all nominees except for those specific nominees from whom you WITHHOLD your vote. The six nominees receiving the most FOR votes will be elected. Cumulative voting is not permitted with respect to the election of directors. If you WITHHOLD your vote as to all nominees, your vote will be treated as if you had ABSTAINED from voting on Proposal No. 1, and your abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

With respect to Proposal Nos. 2 and 3, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. If you ABSTAIN from voting on any of these proposals, the abstention will have the same effect as a vote AGAINST the proposal.

With respect to Proposal No. 4, you may vote to hold the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation every 1 YEAR, 2 YEARS, 3 YEARS or ABSTAIN. If you ABSTAIN, your abstention will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

How are proxies solicited for the Annual Meeting and who is paying for the solicitation?

Our board of directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting by means of this proxy statement. We will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of the proxy materials. Copies of solicitation materials will also be made available upon request to brokers and other nominees to forward to the Beneficial Owners of the shares held of record by the brokers or other nominees. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending these proxy materials to Beneficial Owners.

This solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by solicitation by telephone, electronic communication, or other means by our directors, officers, employees or agents. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services, although we may reimburse such individuals for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. We do not plan to retain a proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

Is my vote confidential?

Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within Research Solutions or to third parties, except as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, or to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Will members of the board of directors attend the Annual Meeting?

We encourage our board members to attend the Annual Meeting. Because this year’s Annual Meeting will be completely virtual, those board members who do attend will not be available to answer questions from stockholders.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

We have adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding,” under which we can deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders of Record who participate in householding will be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of these documents. To receive a separate copy, or, if you are receiving multiple copies, to request that Research Solutions only send a single copy of the next year’s Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, you may contact us as follows:

Research Solutions, Inc.

Attention: Secretary

10624 S. Eastern Ave., Suite A-614

Henderson, Nevada 89052

(310) 477-0354

Stockholders who hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other nominee to request information about householding.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Proposal No. 1 is the election of six directors to hold office until the 2026 Annual Meeting or until their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the number of the directors of our Company shall be not less than one nor more than nine, as fixed from time-to-time by resolution of our board of directors. On February 8, 2022, our board of directors fixed the number of directors at six effective as of February 8, 2022.

Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them for the nominees named below. If any nominee is unwilling to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxies will be voted for such other nominee(s) as shall be designated by the then current board of directors to fill any vacancy. We have no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected as a director.

Our board of directors proposes the election of the following nominees as directors:

Barbara J. Cooperman

Kenneth L. Gayron

General Merrill McPeak

Jeremy Murphy

Roy W. Olivier

John J. Regazzi

If elected, the foregoing six nominees are expected to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

Required Vote

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. You may vote either FOR all the nominees, FOR any one of the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all the nominees or WITHHOLD your vote from any one of the nominees. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of directors. If your shares are held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, your broker, bank or other nominee does not have authority to vote your unvoted shares held by the firm for the election of directors. As a result, any shares not voted by you will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED ABOVE.

The principal occupation and certain other information about the nominees and certain executive officers are set forth on the following pages.

FURTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Meetings. Our board of directors held six meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Each director then serving attended 75% or more of the aggregate of all of the meetings of our board of directors and all of the meetings held by all committees of our board of directors on which such director served in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. While directors periodically attend annual stockholder meetings, we have not established a specific policy with respect to members of our board of directors attending annual stockholder meetings. Each of our directors attended our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on November 12, 2024.

Committees. Our board of directors currently has the following standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. Our Audit Committee held four meetings, our Compensation Committee held six meetings and our Nominating and Governance Committee held three meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025.

Our Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Gayron (Chair), Regazzi, Murphy and Gen. McPeak. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Gayron is an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K, and that each member of our Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and has substantial business experience that results in such member’s financial sophistication. Accordingly, our board of directors believes that each member of our Audit Committee has sufficient knowledge and experience necessary to fulfill such member’s duties and obligations on our Audit Committee. The primary purposes of our Audit Committee are to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of our Company and audits of our financial statements, including (i) reviewing the scope of the audit and all non-audit services to be performed by our independent accountant and the fees incurred by us in connection therewith, (ii) reviewing the results of such audit, including the independent accountant’s opinion and letter of comment to management and management’s response thereto, (iii) reviewing with our independent accountants our internal accounting principles, policies and practices and financial reporting, (iv) engaging our independent accountants and (v) reviewing our quarterly and annual financial statements prior to public issuance. The role and responsibilities of our Audit Committee are more fully set forth in a revised written Charter adopted by our board of directors on September 18, 2015, which is available on our website located at www.researchsolutions.com.

Our Compensation Committee currently consists of Ms. Cooperman (Chair), Gen. McPeak and Messrs. Regazzi and Gayron. The primary purposes of our Compensation Committee are to assist our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibility to determine the compensation of our executive officers and to approve and evaluate the compensation policies and programs of our Company, including (i) reviewing the compensation packages of executive officers and making recommendations to our board of directors for said compensation packages, (ii) reviewing and approving proposed stock incentive grants and (iii) providing our board of directors with recommendations regarding bonus plans, if any. The role and responsibilities of our Compensation Committee are more fully set forth in a revised written Charter adopted by our board of directors on September 18, 2015, which is available on our website located at www.researchsolutions.com.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Murphy (Chair), Regazzi, Gen. McPeak, and Ms. Cooperman. The primary purposes of our Nominating and Governance Committee are to (i) identify individuals qualified to become members of our board of directors and recommend to our board of directors the nominees for the next annual meeting of our stockholders and candidates to fill vacancies on our board of directors, (ii) recommend to our board of directors the directors to be appointed to committees of our board of directors and (iii) oversee the effectiveness of our corporate governance in accordance with regulatory guidelines and any other guidelines we establish, including evaluations of members of executive management, our board of directors and its committees. The role and responsibilities of our Nominating and Governance Committee are more fully set forth in a revised written Charter adopted by our board of directors on October 15, 2012, which is available on our website located at www.researchsolutions.com.

Director Nomination Process. Our Nominating and Governance Committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors (other than those proposed by our stockholders, as discussed below) include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources - members of our board of directors; our executives; individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors; and other research. Our Nominating and Governance Committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.

A stockholder of our Company may nominate one or more persons for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder complies with the notice, information and consent provisions contained in our Amended and Restated Bylaws. In addition, the notice must be made in writing and set forth as to each proposed nominee who is not an incumbent director (i) their name, age, business address and, if known, residence address, (ii) their principal occupation or employment, (iii) the number of shares of stock of our Company beneficially owned, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and each nominee and any other person pursuant to which the nominations are to be made and (v) any other information concerning the nominee that must be disclosed respecting nominees in proxy solicitations pursuant to Rule 14(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The recommendation should be addressed to our Secretary.

Among other matters, our Nominating and Governance Committee:

	1.	Reviews the desired experience, mix of skills and other qualities to assure appropriate board of directors composition, taking into account the current members of our board of directors and the specific needs of our Company and our board of directors;

	2.	Conducts candidate searches, interviews prospective candidates and conducts programs to introduce candidates to our management and operations, and confirms the appropriate level of interest of such candidates;

	3.	Recommends qualified candidates who bring the background, knowledge, experience, independence, skill sets and expertise that would strengthen and increase the diversity of our board of directors; and

	4.	Conducts appropriate inquiries into the background and qualifications of potential nominees.

Although the Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a formal diversity policy and does not follow any ratio or formula with respect to diversity in order to determine the appropriate composition of our board of directors, the Nominating and Governance Committee and the full board of directors are committed to creating a board of directors with diversity, including diversity of expertise, experience, background and gender, and are committed to identifying, recruiting and advancing candidates offering such diversity in future searches.

Based on the foregoing, our Nominating and Governance Committee recommended for nomination and our board of directors nominated, Ms. Cooperman, Mr. Gayron, Gen. McPeak, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Olivier and Mr. Regazzi for re-election, as directors on our board of directors, subject to stockholder approval, for a term ending on the date of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight. Mr. Regazzi serves as our Lead Independent Director and Mr. Olivier serves as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board. We believe that separating the roles of Lead Independent Director, on the one hand, and Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board on the other, enhances our corporate governance practices and better enables management and our board of directors to focus on growth to maximize stockholder value. Our board of directors plays an active role, as a whole and also at the committee level, in overseeing management of our risks and strategic direction. Our board of directors regularly reviews information regarding our liquidity and operations, as well as the risks associated with each. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements. Our Audit Committee oversees the process by which our senior management and relevant employees assess and manage our exposure to, and management of, financial risks. Our Nominating and Governance Committee also manages risks associated with the independence of members of our board of directors and potential conflicts of interest. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire board of directors is regularly informed about such risks.

Policy on Trading, Pledging and Hedging of Company Stock. Effective July 1, 2025, our board of directors adopted an Amended and Restated Insider Trading Policy (the “Insider Trading Policy”) that prohibits all employees, officers and directors from engaging in transactions involving our securities while in possession of material non-public information and restricts directors, officers and other designated insiders from engaging in certain transactions involving our securities during specified periods for which the Company has determined such individuals are most likely to be aware of material, non-public information. The Insider Trading Policy also requires pre-clearance from our Compliance Officer prior to making certain transactions involving our securities. We believe that the Insider Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards, applicable to the Company.

As of the date of this proxy statement, none of our executive officers or non-employee directors have previously engaged in any hedging or pledging transaction involving our securities.

Shareholder Communications. Holders of our securities can send communications to our board of directors via email to auditcommittee@reprintsdesk.com or by telephoning the Chief Financial Officer at our main telephone number, who will then relay the communications to our board of directors.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our board of directors currently consists of six members: Mr. Olivier (Chairman), Ms. Cooperman, Mr. Gayron, Gen. McPeak, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Regazzi. Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Cooperman, Mr. Gayron, Gen. McPeak, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Regazzi are independent directors as that term is defined in the applicable rules for companies traded on Nasdaq. Messrs. Gayron, Murphy and Regazzi and Gen. McPeak are each members of our Audit Committee, and Ms. Cooperman, Messrs. Gayron and Regazzi and Gen. McPeak are each members of our Compensation Committee. Each of the foregoing directors meets Nasdaq’s independence standards for members of such committees.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of our board of directors has furnished the following report:

Our Audit Committee currently operates under a revised written charter that was approved by our board of directors effective September 18, 2015. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, our Audit Committee has performed, or has confirmed that our board of directors has performed, the duties of our Audit Committee, which is responsible for providing objective oversight of our internal controls and financial reporting process.

In fulfilling its responsibilities for the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, our Audit Committee:

●

Reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2025 with management and Wipfli LLP, or the Auditors, our independent auditors;

●

Discussed with the Auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission; and

●

Received written disclosures and the letter from the Auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the Auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the Auditors their independence.

Members of the Audit Committee rely, without independent verification, on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the Auditors. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or that the Company’s Auditors are in fact “independent.”

Based on our Audit Committee’s review of our audited consolidated financial statements and discussions with management and the Auditors, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of our Audit Committee referred to in this report and in the Audit Committee’s written charter, our Audit Committee approved the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

	AUDIT COMMITTEE

	Kenneth L. Gayron
	General Merrill McPeak
	Jeremy Murphy
	John J. Regazzi

The information in this Audit Committee Report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material,” or to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to be subject to Regulation 14A or 14C as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Proposal No. 2 is the ratification of the firm of Wipfli LLP, or Wipfli, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2026. Our Audit Committee recommended and our board of directors has selected, subject to ratification by a majority vote of the stockholders in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, Wipfli as our independent public accountant for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. A representative of Wipfli will be invited to attend the Annual Meeting and, if attending, will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

While there is no legal requirement that this proposal be submitted to stockholders, it will be submitted at the Annual Meeting nonetheless, as our board of directors believes that the selection of auditors to audit our consolidated financial statements is of sufficient importance to seek stockholder ratification. If the majority of our stockholders present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting do not ratify the appointment of Wipfli as our auditors for the current fiscal year, Wipfli will continue to serve as our auditors for the current fiscal year, and our Audit Committee will engage in deliberations to determine whether it is in our best interest to continue Wipfli’s engagement as our auditors for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.

Wipfli was our principal independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. All audit work was performed by the full-time employees of Wipfli. Our Audit Committee approved in advance all services performed by Wipfli, has considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining Wipfli’s independence, and has approved such services. Weinberg & Company, P.A., or Weinberg, served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending June 30, 2024.

The following table presents the aggregate fees for professional audit services for both firms and other services rendered in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. For the year ended June 30, 2025, the total of $256,854 was comprised of $200,854 for Weinberg and $56,000 for Wipfli.

	Year Ended June 30, 2025		Year Ended June 30, 2024
Audit Fees	$	210,920	$	182,587
Audit Related Fees		--		--
Tax Fees		45,934		30,550
All Other Fees		--		--
Total	$	256,854	$	213,137

Audit Fees consist of amounts billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, including amendments thereto.

Audit-Related Fees consist of fees billed for professional services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements but are not reported under “Audit Fees.”

Tax Fees consist of fees for professional services for tax compliance activities, including the preparation of federal and state tax returns and related compliance matters.

All Other Fees consists of amounts billed for services other than those noted above.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFYING THE APPOINTMENT OF WIPFLI LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or Dodd-Frank Act, we are including in this proxy statement and will present for a vote at the Annual Meeting, a non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of our executives, as described in this proxy statement, pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC. Proposal No. 3, commonly known as a “say on pay” vote, gives stockholders the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the compensation of our executives as disclosed in this proxy statement. This proposal will be presented at the Annual Meeting as a resolution in substantially the following form:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the Company’s executives, as disclosed in the compensation tables and related narrative disclosure in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting.

This vote will not be binding on our board of directors and may not be construed as overruling a decision by our board of directors or creating or implying any change to the fiduciary duties of our board of directors. The vote will not affect any compensation previously paid or awarded to any executive. Our Compensation Committee and our board of directors may, however, take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

The purpose of our compensation programs is to attract and retain experienced, highly qualified executives critical to our long-term success and enhancement of stockholder value.

Based on the results of a separate non-binding advisory shareholder vote on the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes regarding the compensation program for our named executive officers, commonly referred to as a “say on frequency” vote, held at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, held on November 12, 2019, our board of directors determined that we will hold our say on pay vote annually until the next required say on frequency vote.

Required Vote

Endorsement of the compensation of our executive officers will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting with respect to such proposal.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RESOLUTION APPROVING THE COMPENSATION OF OUR EXECUTIVES.

PROPOSAL NO. 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF
ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under the Dodd-Frank Act, in addition to providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on executive compensation, we are required this year to include in this proxy statement and present at the Annual Meeting a non-binding stockholder vote on whether an advisory vote on executive compensation should be held every 1 year, 2 years or 3 years.

Our board of directors believes that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every year is the optimal interval for conducting and responding to a “say on pay” vote, so that stockholders may annually express their views on our executive compensation program.

Stockholders have the opportunity to choose among four options – holding the advisory vote on executive compensation every 1 YEAR, 2 YEARS, 3 YEARS or abstaining – and, therefore, stockholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove our board of directors’ recommendation.

Although this advisory vote on the frequency of the “say on pay” vote is nonbinding, our board of directors and the Compensation Committee may take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR A “SAY ON PAY” FREQUENCY OF EVERY “1 YEAR”.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

For option grants to our non-employee directors, grants are made on or around the date of each annual meeting of stockholders to each non-employee director in office immediately following such meeting. See “Director Compensation” below. Our Compensation Committee does not grant equity awards in anticipation of the release of material nonpublic information. It is the Company’s practice not to time the disclosure of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Employment Agreements

On October 4, 2024, we entered into an executive employment agreement with Mr. Olivier governing Mr. Olivier’s continuing employment, which has an indefinite period.

Compensation Philosophy & Objectives

The policies underlying our Compensation Committee’s compensation decisions are designed to attract and retain the best-qualified management personnel available. We typically design our compensation plans in terms of an Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) made up of a base salary and bonus plan which is paid on attaintment of our Company’s annual objectives and a Long-term Equity Bonus Plan (“LTEBP”) which is restricted stock that vests at certain share prices. The AIP ensures that executives perform against annual targets and the LTEBP is designed to allign executive behavior toward improving our stock price over time.

In establishing executive compensation, our Compensation Committee evaluates compensation paid to similar officers employed at other companies of similar size in the same industry and the individual performance of each officer as it impacts our overall performance, with particular focus on an individual’s contribution to the realization of operating profits and the achievement of strategic business goals. Our Compensation Committee further attempts to rationalize a particular executive’s compensation with that of other executive officers of our Company in an effort to distribute compensation fairly among the executive officers. Although the components of executive compensation (salary, bonus and incentive grants) are reviewed separately, compensation decisions are made based on a review of total compensation.

Both the AIP and the LTEBP are designed to:

●

Attract, retain, and motivate leadership talent with the skills to scale profitable recurring revenue growth.

●

Align executive pay with long-term shareholder value creation.

●

Incentivize operational performance in key areas which are typically net annual recurring revenue (“ARR”) growth, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), versus plan in addition to delivering specific key results that align with our Company’s high-level objectives and key results (“OKR”).

●

Have a meaningful percentage to total AIP compensation tied to performance. For fiscal 2025 between 17% and 43% of the executive’s total annual compensation is linked to measurable performance goals, typically attainment of our annual net ARR growth and adjusted EBITDA targets. The CEO and CFO have 40% and 37% of their AIP as bonus tied to objectives. The remaining executives have between 22% and 76% of their AIP tied to objectives.

Annual Incentive Plan

●

Base Salary: Provides fixed income, competitive in the marketplace, sufficient to retain executives during periods when variable components fluctuate. Salary levels are reviewed annually and adjusted as required.

●

Annual Incentive Bonus: Rewards the achievement of short-term, typically annual, operational and financial goals critical to our performance specifically net ARR growth, adjusted EBITDA versus plan and on attainment of certain OKRs. Targets set at the start of fiscal year and approved by our board of directors. Payouts are weighted among metrics as follows:

CEO & CFO – For fiscal 2025, 37.5% of the bonus was paid based on net ARR growth, 37.5% was paid on adjusted EBITDA (both vs plan), 20% was based on cash flow vs plan, and 5% was based on strategic goals (OKRs). For fiscal 2026, 47.5% of the bonus will be paid on attainment of our net ARR growth target, 47.5% of the bonus will be paid on attainment of our adjusted EBITDA target, and 5% will be paid based on attainment of the assigned OKRs.

CRO – In fiscal 2025, 60% of the bonus was paid on net ARR growth versus plan, 20% was based on adjusted EBITDA versus plan and 20% was based on attainment of strategic goals (OKRs). For fiscal 2026, 77% will be paid on attainment of our net ARR growth target, 11.5% will be paid on attainment of our adjusted EBITDA target, and 11.5% on OKRs.

CMO – In fiscal 2025, 60% of the bonus was paid on net ARR growth versus plan, 20% was based on adjusted EBITDA versus plan and 20% was based on attainment of strategic goals (OKRs). For fiscal 2026, 60% will be paid on attainment of our net ARR growth target, 20% will be paid on attainment of our adjusted EBITDA target, and 20% on OKRs.

CTO, COO and CSO – In fiscal 2025, 40% was paid on attainment of our net ARR growth versus plan, 40% was paid on adjusted EBITDA versus plan, and 20% on OKRs. For fiscal 2026 the split remains the same (40%/40%/20%) with respect to our net ARR growth target, adjusted EBITDA target and OKRs.

Long-Term Equity Bonus Plan. We provided a large, restricted stock grant which vests as the trading price of our common stock hits certain targets. The plan current has 5 tiers spit evenly: 20% of the shares in the grant vest at each tier. The vesting tiers are achieved when the trading price of our common stock hits a specific 30-day volume weighted average price. The tiers are $3.00, $3.75, $4.50, $5.25, and $6.00. The first two tiers were achieved.

Other Benefits & Perquisites. We offer competitive benefits to all of our employees including medical, dental, vision coverage as well as access to a 401K.

Clawback Policy

Effective November 14, 2023, our board of directors adopted a Compensation Recovery Policy, whereby we may seek the recovery or forfeiture of incentive compensation paid by us, including cash, equity or equity-based compensation, in the event we restate our financial statements under certain circumstances (the “Clawback Policy”), in accordance with the applicable rules of Nasdaq and Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Clawback Policy applies to our Section 16 officers, any employee who was eligible to receive incentive compensation and whose conduct contributed to the need for a restatement, and any other former Section 16 officer or other employee who contributed to the need for such restatement. Our Clawback Policy is administered by our Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the authority, in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations, to interpret and make determinations necessary for the administration of the Clawback Policy, and may forego recovery in certain instances.

Pay Versus Performance

The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock awards” and “Option awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b)

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year include the addition (or subtraction, as applicable) of the following: (i) the year-end fair value of any equity awards granted in the applicable year that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the year; (ii) the amount of change as of the end of the applicable year (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value of any awards granted in prior years that are outstanding and unvested as of the end of the applicable year; (iii) for awards that are granted and vest in same applicable year, the fair value as of the vesting date; (iv) for awards granted in prior years that vest in the applicable year, the amount equal to the change as of the vesting date (from the end of the prior fiscal year) in fair value; (v) for awards granted in prior years that are determined to fail to meet the applicable vesting conditions during the applicable year, a deduction for the amount equal to the fair value at the end of the prior fiscal year; and (vi) the dollar value of any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards in the applicable year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise reflected in the fair value of such award or included in any other component of total compensation for the applicable year. The valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of grant. The amounts deducted or added in calculating the equity award adjustments are as follows:

Year	Year End Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Equity Awards Granted During the Year		Year over Year Change in Fair Value of Outstanding and Unvested Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years			Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Equity Awards Granted and Vested in the Year		Year over Year Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years that Vested in the Year		Total Equity Award Adjustments

The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income (loss) reflected in our audited financial statements for the applicable year.

Analysis of Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table

The Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with SEC rules) for a particular year. In accordance with SEC rules, the Company is providing the following narrative disclosure regarding the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.

Compensation Actually Paid and Cumulative Total Stockholder Return

During fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, compensation actually paid to our PEO decreased from $1,300,501 in fiscal year 2023 to $326,077 in fiscal year 2024, followed by an increase in fiscal year 2025 to $479,382 for Mr. Olivier, and average compensation actually paid to our named executive officers other than our PEO decreased from $591,466 in fiscal year 2023 to $353,325 in fiscal year 2024, followed by an increase in fiscal year 2025 to $857,640.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

We are a Nevada Corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes and certain provisions of our Amended and Restated Bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities which they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided for is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Amended and Restated Bylaws and to the statutory provisions.

In general, any officer, director, employee or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party, if that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in our best interest, and were not unlawful. Unless such person is successful upon the merits in such an action, indemnification may be awarded only after a determination by independent decision of our board of directors, by legal counsel, or by a vote of our stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the person to be indemnified.

The circumstances under which indemnification is granted in connection with an action brought on our behalf are generally the same as those set forth above; however, with respect to such actions, indemnification is granted only with respect to expenses actually incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action. In such actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith and in a manner believed to have been in our best interest, and have not been adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct.

Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements which may be entered in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes also grant us the power to purchase and maintain insurance which protects our officers and directors against any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and such a policy may be obtained by us.

We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers.

A stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding which indemnification by us is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

In December 2007, we established the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) and in November 2017 we established the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). The Plans were approved by our board of directors and stockholders. The purpose of the Plans is to grant stock and options to purchase our common stock, and other incentive awards, to our employees, directors and key consultants. On November 10, 2016, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Plan increased from 5,000,000 to 7,000,000. On November 21, 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2017 Plan (previously adopted by our board of directors on September 14, 2017), which authorized a maximum of 1,874,513 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Plan. From November 2019 to November 2021, the Company's stockholders approved increases in the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan from 1,874,513 to 6,874,513. Upon adoption of the 2017 Plan we ceased granting incentive awards under the 2007 Plan and commenced granting incentive awards under the 2017 Plan. The shares of our common stock underlying cancelled and forfeited awards issued under the 2017 Plan may again become available for grant under the 2017 Plan. Cancelled and forfeited awards issued under the 2007 Plan that were cancelled or forfeited prior to November 21, 2017 became available for grant under the 2007 Plan. As of June 30, 2025, there were 506,577 shares available for grant under the 2017 Plan, and no shares were available for grant under the 2007 Plan. All incentive stock award grants prior to the adoption of the 2017 Plan on November 21, 2017 were made under the 2007 Plan, and all incentive stock award grants after the adoption of the 2017 Plan on November 21, 2017 were made under the 2017 Plan.

The following table provides information as of June 30, 2025 with respect to the Plans, which are the only compensation plans under which our equity securities are, or have been, authorized for issuance.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Other than the transactions described herein, since July 1, 2024, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years; and in which any director, executive officer, shareholder who beneficially owns more than 5% of our common stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Our review of copies of the Section 16(a) reports filed to report transactions occurring during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 indicates that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors, and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with except as follows: Gen.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

In order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders, the written proposal must be received by us no later than May 27, 2026, and should contain the information required by our Amended and Restated Bylaws. If the date of next year’s annual meeting is moved more than 30 days before or after November 12, 2026, the first anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, the deadline for inclusion of proposals in our proxy statement is instead a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials for next year’s meeting. Any proposals will also need to comply with Rule 14a-8 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company sponsored proxy materials. Proposals should be addressed to our Secretary at our mailing address.

To comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than September 13, 2026. Proposals and the required notice should be addressed to our Secretary at our mailing address.

If you intend to present a proposal at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and the proposal is not intended to be included in our proxy statement relating to that meeting, you must give us advance notice of the proposal in accordance with our Amended and Restated Bylaws. Pursuant to our Amended and Restated Bylaws, in order for a stockholder proposal to be deemed properly presented in these circumstances, a stockholder must deliver notice of the proposal to our Secretary, at our mailing address, from and after July 15, 2026 through August 14, 2026. However, if the date of our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders is more than 30 days before or after November 12, 2026, the first anniversary of this year’s Annual Meeting, stockholders must give us notice of any stockholder proposals after the 120^th day prior to next year’s annual meeting and before the 90^th day prior to next year’s annual meeting, or, if later, the 10^th day following the day on which we first make public announcement of the date of next year’s annual meeting. If a stockholder does not provide us with notice of a stockholder proposal in accordance with the deadlines described above, the stockholder will not be permitted to present the proposal to the stockholders for a vote at the meeting. If the stockholder does not also comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-4(c)(2) under the Exchange Act of 1934, we may exercise discretionary voting authority under proxies that we solicit to vote in accordance with our best judgment on any such stockholder proposal or nomination.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

We are delivering this proxy statement and an annual report to all stockholders of record as of the record date. Stockholders residing in the same household who hold their shares in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record may receive only one proxy statement and annual report if previously notified by their bank, broker or other holder. This process, by which only one proxy statement and annual report, as the case may be, is delivered to multiple security holders sharing an address, unless contrary instructions are received from one or more of the security holders, is called “householding.” Householding may provide convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Once begun, householding may continue unless instructions to the contrary are received from one or more of the stockholders within the household.

Street name stockholders in a single household who received only one copy of the proxy statement or annual report may request to receive separate copies in the future by following the instructions provided on the voting instruction form sent to them by their bank, broker or other holder of record. Similarly, street name stockholders who are receiving multiple copies may request that only a single set of materials be sent to them in the future by checking the appropriate box on the voting instruction form. Otherwise, street name stockholders should contact their bank, broker or other holder.

Copies of this proxy statement and our annual report are available promptly by calling (310) 477-0354, or by writing to Research Solutions, Inc., 10624 S. Eastern Ave., Suite A-614, Henderson, NV 89052. If you are receiving multiple copies of this proxy statement, you also may request orally or in writing to receive a single copy of this proxy statement by calling (310) 477-0354, or writing to Research Solutions, Inc., Attention: Investor Relations, 10624 S. Eastern Ave., Suite A-614, Henderson, NV 89052.
