PROXY STATEMENT

INVENTERGY GLOBAL, INC.
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
to be held at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, September 9, 2015
at the Company headquarters at 900 E. Hamilton Avenue, Suite 180, Campbell, California 95008

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

The Company has delivered printed versions of these materials by mail to holders of record and has otherwise made these materials available on the internet in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for use at our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will take place on Wednesday. September 9, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time, at the Company headquarters at 900 E. Hamilton Avenue, Suite 180, Campbell, California 95008, and any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) thereof.

This proxy statement gives you information on each of the proposals put forth by Board of Directors (the “Board”) so that you can make an informed decision. These materials were first sent or given to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on or about July 31, 2015.

In this proxy statement, we refer to Inventergy Global, Inc. as the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” or similar terminology.

What is included in these materials?

If you are a holder of record (as described in more detail below) of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) or a holder of the Company’s Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series A-2 Preferred Stock”) and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”, and together with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), you will have received a printed version of the proxy materials, which include:

•

This proxy statement for the Annual Meeting;

•

A proxy card along with voting instructions; and

•

The Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders (the “Annual Report”).

If you are a beneficial owner (as described in more detail below) of shares of our Voting Stock, you will have received a one-page Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Internet Availability Notice”) in the mail. By following the instructions on Internet Availability Notice, you will have access to:

•

This proxy statement for the Annual Meeting; and

•

The Company’s Annual Report.

If you are a beneficial owner and requested printed versions of these materials by mail, you will receive the proxy statement, Annual Report and the proxy card or voting instruction form for the Annual Meeting.

Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

Pursuant to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has elected to provide access to its proxy materials via the internet instead of mailing printed copies for the beneficial holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Accordingly, the Company is sending an Internet Availability Notice to the Company’s beneficial stockholders. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, instructions on how to access the proxy

TABLE OF CONTENTS

materials over the internet or to request a printed copy may be found with the Internet Availability Notice. All stockholders, including holders of record of our Common Stock and our Preferred Stock, will have the ability to access the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Internet Availability Notice and all beneficial stockholders will have the ability to request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Stockholders who have not received printed versions of the materials may request to receive the proxy materials in printed form by telephone, mail, by logging on to http://www.proxyvote.com or electronically by email on an ongoing basis. The Company encourages stockholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the internet to help reduce the environmental impact of our annual meetings.

How can I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

The Internet Availability Notice will provide you with instructions regarding how to:

•

View the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the internet; and

•

Instruct the Company to send future proxy materials to you electronically by email.

Choosing to receive future proxy materials by email will save the Company the cost of printing and mailing documents to you and will reduce the impact of the Company’s annual meetings on the environment. If you choose to receive future proxy materials by email, you will receive an email message next year with instructions containing a link to those materials. Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Who can vote at the Annual Meeting of stockholders?

Stockholders who owned shares of our Common Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (the Series B Preferred Stock, together with the Common Stock, Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, the “Voting Stock”) on July 13, 2015 (the “Record Date”) may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes am I entitled to per share?

Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote, each share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 1.4139 votes, each share of Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 1.4139 votes, and each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to 403.5 votes and all Voting Stock vote together as a single class.

Information about the stockholdings of our directors and executive officers is contained in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Principal Stockholders” on page 30 of this proxy statement.

What is the proxy card?

The proxy card enables you to appoint Joseph W. Beyers, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and/or Wayne Sobon, our Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, as your representative at the Annual Meeting. By completing and returning the proxy card (or voting online or by telephone, if permissible and as described herein), you are authorizing these persons to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is strongly recommended that you complete and return your proxy card before the Annual Meeting date just in case your plans change. If a proposal comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting that is not on the proxy card, the proxies will vote your shares, under your proxy, according to their best judgment.

To elect one Class I director to the Company’s Board to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

To ratify the appointment by the Board of Marcum LLP (the “Auditor”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015;

An amendment to Article IV of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of between one-for-two and one-for-ten with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board and with such Reverse Split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion (the “Reverse Split Proposal”);

To hold a non-binding advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers; and

To undertake such other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any lawful adjournment or postponement thereof.

How does the Board recommend that I vote?

Our Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the election of the nominee for Class I director and “FOR” each of the other proposals being put before our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Most of our stockholders hold their shares in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder, rather than holding share certificates in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record

If, on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are a “stockholder of record” who may vote at the Annual Meeting, and we are sending these proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by returning the enclosed proxy card to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please complete, date and sign the enclosed proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm or at a bank or other nominee holder, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held “in street name,” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to vote your shares and to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you receive a valid proxy from your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. To obtain a valid proxy, you must make a special request of your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee holder. If you do not make this request, you can still vote by using the voting instruction card enclosed with this proxy statement; however, you will not be able to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

If I am a holder of record of Voting Stock, how do I vote?

There are two ways to vote:

(1) In person. If you are a holder of record of our Voting Stock, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. The Company will give you a ballot when you arrive.

(2) By mail. As described above, all holders of record of our Voting Stock will receive printed versions of the proxy materials, including the proxy card. As such, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If I am a beneficial owner of shares of our Voting Stock held in street name, how do I vote?

(1) Via the internet. You may vote by proxy via the internet by following the instructions provided by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares.

(2) Via telephone. Using a touch-tone telephone, you may transmit your voting instructions to the number provided in the Internet Availability Notice.

(3) In person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of our Voting Stock held in street name and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.

(4) By mail. You may vote by mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the vote instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares.

If I am a beneficial owners of shares of our Voting Stock, how do I request a paper copy of the proxy materials?

There are four ways to request a paper copy of proxy materials:

•

By mail: You may obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials by writing to us at Inventergy Global, Inc., 900 E. Hamilton Avenue, Suite 180, Campbell, California 95008, Attn: Secretary.

•

By telephone. You may obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials by calling 1-800-579-1639 or the Company at 408-389-3510.

•

Via the Internet: You may obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials by logging on to http://www.proxyvote.com.

•

By Email: You may obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials by email at sendmaterial@proxyvote.com.

Please make your request for a paper copy as instructed above on or before August 26, 2015 to facilitate timely delivery.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

You may have multiple accounts at the transfer agent and/or with brokerage firms. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

What if I change my mind after I return my proxy?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting. You may do this by:

•

sending a written notice to Wayne Sobon, our corporate Secretary, stating that you would like to revoke your proxy of a particular date;

•

signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it before the polls close at the Annual Meeting; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, you must instruct your broker, bank or other nominee that you wish to change your vote by following the procedures on the voting form provided to you by the broker, bank or other nominee. If your shares are held in street name, and you wish to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, you must bring to the Annual Meeting a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?

If your shares are held in street name or in your name and you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares will not be voted unless you vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How are votes counted?

You may vote “for,” “against,” or “abstain” on each of the proposals being placed before our stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting.

Broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. The election of the Class I directors, the Incentive Plan Proposal and the non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation are “non-routine.” Thus, in tabulating the voting result for these three proposals, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on that proposal. The ratification of the appointment of the Auditor and the Reverse Split Proposal are “routine” matters and therefore a broker may vote on these matters without instructions from the beneficial owner as long as instructions are not given.

How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is that holders of a majority of the Voting Stock outstanding as of the Record Date must be present in person or represented by proxy. “Broker non-votes”, which are described above, and abstentions are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. In order to meet the quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business, holders a total of 18,746,000 shares must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes are required to elect the nominee for Class I director of the Company?

In the election of the Class I director, the person receiving the highest number of affirmative votes voted by the Voting Stock at the Annual Meeting will be elected.

How many votes are required to ratify the Company’s independent public accountants?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of Voting Stock is required to ratify the Auditor as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2015.

How many votes are required to approve the Reverse Split Proposal?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Voting Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as one class, is required for approval of the Reverse Split Proposal.

How many votes are required to approve the Incentive Plan Proposal?

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of Voting Stock is required for approval of the Incentive Plan Proposal.

How many votes are required to approve the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers?

Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers will be determined by the vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

What happens if I don’t indicate how to vote my proxy?

If you just sign your proxy card without providing further instructions, your shares will be counted as a “for” vote for the nominee for Class I director and a “for” vote for the other proposals being placed before our stockholders at the Annual Meeting.

Is my vote kept confidential?

Proxies, ballots and voting tabulations identifying stockholders are kept confidential and will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to meet legal requirements.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Where do I find the voting results of the Meeting?

We will announce voting results at the Annual Meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election at the Annual Meeting and then published in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company is required to file with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

Who can help answer my questions?

You can contact our Secretary, Wayne Sobon, at (408) 389-3510 or by sending a letter to Mr. Sobon at offices of the Company at 900 E. Hamilton Avenue #180, Campbell, CA 95008 with any questions about proposals described in this proxy statement or how to execute your vote.

Voting

There are two ways to vote if you are a holder of record of Voting Stock:

(1) In person. If you are a holder of record of Voting Stock, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. The Company will give you a ballot when you arrive.

(2) By mail. You may vote by mail. As described above, all holders of record of our Voting Stock will receive printed versions of the proxy materials, including the proxy card. As such, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided.

There are four ways to vote if you are a beneficial owner of shares of Voting Stock held in street name:

(1) Via the internet. Use the internet to vote by going to the internet address listed on your proxy card or Internet Availability Notice; have your proxy card or Internet Availability Notice in hand as you will be prompted to enter your control number and to create and submit an electronic vote. If you vote in this manner, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card and Internet Availability Notice, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card or submit an electronic vote but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

(2) Via telephone. Using a touch-tone telephone, you may transmit your voting instructions to the number provided in the Internet Availability Notice.

(3) In person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares of Voting Stock held in street name and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares. Please contact that organization for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy.

(4) By mail. You may vote by mail. If you request printed copies of the proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the vote instruction form and sending it back in the envelope provided by your brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares.

While we know of no other matters to be acted upon at this year’s Annual Meeting, it is possible that other matters may be presented at the Annual Meeting. If that happens and you have signed a proxy card or submitted an electronic vote and not revoked such proxy card or vote, your proxy will vote on such other matters in accordance with your proxies’ best judgment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A special note for those who plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person: if your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring a statement from your brokerage account or a letter from the person or entity in whose name the shares are registered indicating that you are the beneficial owner of those shares of Voting Stock as of the Record Date. In addition, you will not be able to vote at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of your shares of Voting Stock.

Our Board is asking for your proxy. Giving the Board your proxy means you authorize it to vote your shares of Voting Stock at the Annual Meeting in the manner you direct. You may vote for or withhold your vote for the nominee or each proposal or you may abstain from voting. All valid proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted “FOR” the election of the nominee for Class I director, “FOR” the other proposals and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Stockholders who have questions or need assistance in completing or submitting their proxy cards should contact Wayne Sobon, Secretary of the Company, at (408) 389-3510.

Stockholders who hold their shares of Voting Stock in “street name,” meaning that a broker or other nominee is the record holder of their Voting Stock, must either direct the record holder of their shares to vote their shares or obtain a proxy or voting instruction from the record holder to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting.

Expenses

The cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Annual Meeting, will be borne by the Company. Some banks and brokers have customers who beneficially own Voting Stock listed of record in the names of nominees. We intend to request banks and brokers to solicit such customers and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such solicitations. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding shares of Voting Stock is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly. The solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram and personal solicitation by officers, directors and other employees of the Company, but no additional compensation will be paid to such individuals.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with our Secretary (Inventergy Global, Inc., 900 E. Hamilton Avenue #180, Campbell, CA 95008) either (i) a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy, (ii) a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares, or (iii) by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

Simply attending the Annual Meeting will not constitute revocation of your proxy. If your shares of Voting Stock are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instruction of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

Attendance at the Annual Meeting

Only holders of Voting Stock and their proxy holders we may invite may attend the Annual Meeting. If you wish to attend the Annual Meeting in person but you hold your shares through someone else, such as a broker, you must bring proof of your ownership and identification with photo identification at the Annual Meeting. For example, you may bring an account statement showing that you beneficially owned shares of the Company as of the Record Date as acceptable proof of ownership.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Introduction

The Board has nominated Robert A. Gordon to stand for election as Class I director at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders will be asked to elect Mr. Gordon who, if elected, will hold office until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his or her successor is elected and qualified. The enclosed proxy, if returned, and unless indicated to the contrary, will be voted for the election of Mr. Gordon.

We have been advised by Mr. Gordon that he is willing to be named as a nominee and is willing to continue to serve as a director if elected. If some unexpected occurrence should make necessary, in the discretion of the Board, the substitution of some other person as nominee, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote for the election of such other person as may be designated by the Board.

Board Qualifications

We believe that the skills, experiences and qualifications of Mr. Gordon provide our Board with the expertise and experience necessary to advance the interests of our stockholders. We believe Mr. Gordon is well-qualified to serve as a member of our Board due to his prior roles as president for Mobicel and ATEL Telefonia Inalambrica and director of eOn Communications Corporation, predecessor of the Company as described in more detail below in the section entitled “Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.” We further believe that Mr. Gordon is well-qualified to serve as a member of our Board due to his prior experience and work with our Board since our merger with eOn Communications Corporation that occurred on June 6, 2014.

Required Vote

In the election of the Class I director, the person receiving the highest number of affirmative votes cast by the Voting Stock at the Annual Meeting will be elected. Abstentions will have no effect on this proposal.

PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF AUDITOR

Introduction

On May 1, 2015, the Audit Committee of the Board appointed the firm of Marcum LLP to serve as our independent auditors for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. Stockholders will be asked to ratify the appointment of the Auditor to serve as our independent auditors. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for appointing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee is not bound by the outcome of this vote but will consider these voting results when selecting the Company’s independent auditor for fiscal year 2016. The Auditor was originally engaged as our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with our Merger that resulted in us becoming a public company. The Auditor has audited all of our annual financial statements since our inception in January 2012 and the financial statements of our combined entity following the Merger. A representative of the Auditor is not expected to be present at the Annual Meeting.

The Audit Committee reviews and approves the audit and non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm during the year, considers the effect that performing those services might have on audit independence and approves management’s engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm to perform those services. The Audit Committee reserves the right to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board and the Audit Committee believe that a change is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders.

The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 for (i) professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of its annual financial and review of financial statements included in Form 10-Q (“Audit Fees”), (ii) assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the financial statements and not reportable under Audit Fees (the “Audit Related Fees”) (iii) tax compliance, advice, and planning (“Tax Fees”), and (iv) other products or services provided (“Other Fees”) were:


	Year Ended December 31, 2014		Year Ended December 31, 2013
Audit Fees	$	99,780	$	61,487
Audit Related Fees	$	—	$	—
Tax Fees	$	—	$	—
All Other Fees	$	—	$	—
Total	$	99,780	$	61,487

Our Audit Committee has determined that the services provided by the Auditor are compatible with maintaining the independence of the Auditor as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Required Vote

Ratification of the appointment by the Audit Committee of the Board of the Auditor as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the holders of Voting Stock.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT BY THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF THE AUDITOR AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2015.

PROPOSAL 3
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

Introduction

On July 7, 2015, the Board acted unanimously to adopt the Reverse Split Proposal to amend Article IV of our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a Reverse Split of our Common Stock at a ratio of between one-for-two and one-for-ten with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board and with such Reverse Split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Board is now asking you to approve this Reverse Split Proposal.

Effecting the Reverse Split requires that Article IV of our Certificate of Incorporation be amended to include a reference to the Reverse Split. If approved, the Reverse Split will be effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, in the form attached to this proxy statement as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”), with the Secretary of State of Delaware, with such filing to occur, if at all, at the sole discretion of the Board.

The intention of the Board in effecting the Reverse Split would be to increase the stock price of our Common Stock sufficiently above the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement that is required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. The Board, in its sole discretion, can elect to abandon the Reverse Split in its entirety at any time.

One principal effect of the Reverse Stock Split would be to decrease the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock (including the proportionate number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) as described below. Except for de minimus adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders (whether such stockholders hold Common Stock or preferred stock) since each stockholder would hold the same percentage of our Common Stock (in hand or on an as converted basis) outstanding immediately following the Reverse Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares would not be affected by the Reverse Split.

The table below sets forth the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding before and after the Reverse Split based on 36,518,792 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date. The table below also sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock before and after the Reverse Split based on 212,466 shares, 161,355 shares and 1,102 shares outstanding, respectively, as of the Record Date.


	Prior to the Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-two Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-five Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-ten Reverse Split
Aggregate Number of Shares of Common Stock Outstanding		36,518,792		18,259,396		7,303,759		3,651,880
Aggregate Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable upon Conversion of Series A-1 Preferred Stock Outstanding		300,406		150,203		60,082		30,041
Aggregate Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable upon Conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock Outstanding		228,142		114,071		45,629		22,815
Aggregate Number of Shares of Common Stock Issuable upon Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock Outstanding		2,395,653		1,197,827		479,131		239,566

Although the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease because the Certificate of Amendment does not change the current authorized number of shares of Common Stock. The remaining authorized shares may be used for various purposes, including, without limitation, raising capital, providing equity incentives to employees, officers or directors, effecting stock dividends, establishing strategic

TABLE OF CONTENTS

relationships with other companies and expanding our business through the acquisition of other businesses or products. We do not currently have any plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the newly available authorized shares for any purposes. In order to support our projected need for additional equity capital and to provide flexibility to raise the capital as necessary, our Board of Directors believes the number of shares of Common Stock we are authorized to issue should be maintained at 100,000,000.

The Reverse Split is not part of a broader plan to take us private.

Reasons for the Reverse Split; Nasdaq Requirements for Continued Listing

The Board’s primary objective in proposing the Reverse Split is to raise the per share trading price of our Common Stock. The Company’s Common Stock currently trades on Nasdaq under the symbol “INVT”. In order to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq it is required that our listed shares maintain a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00.

On December 31, 2014, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market indicating that, because the closing bid price for our Common Stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Rule 5550(a)(2) of Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 29, 2015, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. For that initial compliance period, to regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Common Stock must have met or exceeded $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to June 29, 2015.

As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 1, 2015, we were notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market that we had been granted an additional 180-day period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Now, to regain compliance, the closing bid price of our Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to December 28, 2015.

Our Board concluded that the liquidity and marketability of our Common Stock will be adversely affected if it is not quoted on a national securities exchange as investors can find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our Common Stock. Our Board believes that current and prospective investors will view an investment in our Common Stock more favorably if our Common Stock remains quoted on Nasdaq.

Our Board of Directors also has confidence that the Reverse Split and any resulting increase in the per share price of our Common Stock should enhance the acceptability and marketability of our Common Stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our Common Stock, although we have not been told by them that is the reason for not investing in our Common Stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our Common Stock.

We cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired effects described above. More specifically, we cannot assure you that after the Reverse Split the market price of our Common Stock will increase proportionately to reflect the ratio for the Reverse Split, that the market price of our Common Stock will not decrease to its pre-split level, that our market capitalization will be equal to the market capitalization before the Reverse Split, or that we will be able to maintain our listing on Nasdaq.

Potential Disadvantages of the Reverse Split

As noted above, the principal purpose of the Reverse Split would be to help increase the per share market price of our Common Stock by up to factor of ten. We cannot assure you, however, that the Reverse Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock will increase the market price of our Common Stock, we

TABLE OF CONTENTS

cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will increase the market price of our Common Stock by a multiple equal to the number of pre-split shares, or result in any permanent increase in the market price of our Common Stock, which is dependent upon many factors, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions and prospects for future success. If the per share market price does not increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Split, then the value of our Company as measured by our stock capitalization will be reduced, perhaps significantly.

The number of shares held by each individual holder of Common Stock would be reduced if the Reverse Split is implemented. This will increase the number of stockholders who hold less than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. Typically, the transaction costs to stockholders selling “odd lots” are higher on a per share basis. Consequently, the Reverse Split could increase the transaction costs to existing holders of Common Stock in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their position.

Although our Board believes that the decrease in the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Split and the anticipated increase in the market price of our Common Stock could encourage interest in our Common Stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Split.

Effecting the Reverse Split

Upon receipt of stockholder approval for the Reverse Split Proposal, if our Board concludes that it is in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders to effect the Reverse Split, the Certificate of Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The actual timing of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split will be determined by our Board. In addition, if for any reason our Board deems it advisable to do so, the Reverse Split may be abandoned at any time prior to the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, without further action by our stockholders. In addition, our Board of Directors may deem it advisable to effect the Reverse Split even if the price of our Common Stock is above $1.00 at the time the Reverse Split is to be effected. The Reverse Split will be effective as of the date of filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”).

Upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, without further action on our part or our stockholders, the outstanding shares of Common Stock held by stockholders of record as of the Effective Time would be converted into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock based on a Reverse Split ratio as determined by the Board. For example, if you presently hold 1,500 shares of our Common Stock, you would hold 750 shares of our Common Stock following the Reverse Split if the ratio is one-for-two or you would hold 150 shares of our Common Stock if the ratio is one-for-ten.

Effect on Outstanding Shares, Options and Certain Other Securities

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of shares our Common Stock owned by each stockholder will be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction in the total number of shares outstanding, such that the percentage of our Common Stock owned by each stockholder will remain unchanged except for any de minimus change resulting from rounding up to the nearest number of whole shares so that we are not obligated to issue cash in lieu of any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Split. The number of shares of our Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding options or other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our Common Stock, and the exercise or conversion prices for these securities, will also be ratably adjusted in accordance with their terms as of the Effective Time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effect on Voting Rights of Preferred Stockholders

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of votes per share of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, Series A-2 Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will be adjusted proportionately as follows:


	Prior to the Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-two Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-five Reverse Split		Assuming a one-for-ten Reverse Split
Votes per share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock		1.4139		0.70695		0.28278		0.14139
Votes per share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock		1.4139		0.70695		0.28278		0.14139
Votes per share of Series B Preferred Stock		403.5		201.8		80.7		40.4

Effect on Registration

Our Common Stock is currently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The proposed Reverse Split will not affect the registration of our Common Stock.

Fractional Shares; Exchange of Stock Certificates

Our Board does not currently intend to issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Split. Therefore, we do not expect to issue certificates representing fractional shares. In lieu of any fractional shares, we will issue to stockholders of record who would otherwise hold a fractional share because the number of shares of Common Stock they hold of record before the Reverse Split is not evenly divisible by the Reverse Split ratio that number of shares of Common Stock as rounded up to the nearest whole share. For example, if a stockholder holds 150.25 shares of Common Stock following the Reverse Split, that stockholder will receive certificate representing 151 shares of Common Stock. No stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

As of the Record Date, we had 168 holders of record of our Common Stock (although we have significantly more beneficial holders). We do not expect the Reverse Split and the rounding up of fractional shares to whole shares to result in a significant reduction in the number of record holders. We presently do not intend to seek any change in our status as a reporting company for federal securities law purposes, either before or after the Reverse Split.

On or after the Effective Time, we will mail a letter of transmittal to each stockholder. Each stockholder will be able to obtain a certificate evidencing his, her or its post-Reverse Split shares only by sending the exchange agent (who will be the Company’s transfer agent) the stockholder’s old stock certificate(s), together with the properly executed and completed letter of transmittal and such evidence of ownership of the shares as we may require. Stockholders will not receive certificates for post-Reverse Split shares unless and until their old certificates are surrendered. Stockholders should not forward their certificates to the exchange agent until they receive the letter of transmittal, and they should only send in their certificates with the letter of transmittal. The exchange agent will send each stockholder, if elected in the letter of transmittal, a new stock certificate after receipt of that stockholder’s properly completed letter of transmittal and old stock certificate(s). A stockholder that surrenders his, her or its old stock certificate(s) but does not elect to receive a new stock certificate in the letter of transmittal will be deemed to have requested to hold that stockholder’s shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent.

Certain of our registered holders of Common Stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent. These stockholders do not have stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our Common Stock. They are, however, provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, the stockholder may return a properly executed and completed letter of transmittal.

Stockholders who hold shares in street name through a nominee (such as a bank or broker) will be treated in the same manner as stockholders whose shares are registered in their names, and nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders. However, nominees may have different procedures and stockholders holding shares in street name should contact their nominees.

Stockholders will not have to pay any service charges in connection with the exchange of their certificates.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Authorized Shares

If and when our Board elects to effect the Reverse Split, the Certificate of Amendment will concurrently therewith maintain the authorized number of shares of our Common Stock at 100,000,000 and preferred stock at 10,000,000. Accordingly, there will be no reduction in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock in proportion to the Reverse Split ratio. As a result, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease and the additional authorized shares of Common Stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as our Board may deem advisable without further action by our stockholders, except as required by applicable laws and regulations.

In accordance with our Certificate of Incorporation and Delaware law, our shareholders do not have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any of our unissued or treasury shares.

Anti-Takeover and Dilutive Effects

Our purpose of maintaining our authorized Common Stock at 100,000,000 after the Reverse Split is to facilitate our ability to raise additional capital to support our operations, not to establish any barriers to a change of control or acquisition of our Company. The Common Stock that is authorized but unissued provide our Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, public or private financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these authorized but unissued shares may also be used by our Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable. The Certificate of Amendment would give our Board authority to issue additional shares from time to time without delay or further action by the stockholders except as may be required by applicable law or regulations. The Certificate of Amendment is not being recommended in response to any specific effort of which we are aware to obtain control of us, nor does our Board have any present intent to use the authorized but unissued Common Stock to impede a takeover attempt. There are no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into any arrangements that have material anti-takeover effects.

In addition, the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock for any of the corporate purposes listed above could have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and the book or market value of our outstanding Common Stock, depending on the circumstances, and would likely dilute a stockholder’s percentage voting power in us. Holders of our Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our Board intends to take these factors into account before authorizing any new issuance of shares.

Accounting Consequences

As of the Effective Time, the stated capital attributable to Common Stock on our balance sheet will be reduced proportionately based on the Reverse Split ratio (including a retroactive adjustment of prior periods), and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Reported per share net income or loss will be higher because there will be fewer shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summary describes certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split to holders of our Common Stock. This summary addresses the tax consequences only to a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is a citizen or individual resident of the United States, a corporation organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia or otherwise subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a net income basis in respect of our Common Stock (a “U.S. holder”). This summary does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to any particular stockholder, including tax considerations that arise from rules of general application to all taxpayers or to certain classes of taxpayers or that are generally assumed to be known by investors. This summary also does not address the tax consequences to persons that may be subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law or persons that do not hold our Common Stock as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial authority, all as in effect as of the date hereof. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships that hold our Common Stock, and partners in such partnerships, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

Each stockholder should consult his, her or its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Split should be treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Therefore, no gain or loss should be recognized by a U.S. holder upon the Reverse Split. Accordingly, the aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock received pursuant to the Reverse Split should equal the aggregate tax basis in the Common Stock surrendered and the holding period for the Common Stock received should include the holding period for the Common Stock surrendered.

Text of Proposed Certificate of Amendment; Effectiveness

The text of the proposed Certificate of Amendment is set forth in Annex A to this proxy statement. If and when effected by our Board, the Certificate of Amendment will become effective upon its filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

Required Vote

Approval of the Reverse Split Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Voting Stock voting as one class. Abstentions are considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum but will have the effect of a vote against the Reverse Split Proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE REVERSE SPLIT PROPOSAL.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 4
INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

Introduction

On July 7, 2015, the Board (with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee) unanimously approved an amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the Plan, subject to stockholder approval, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan by 1,700,000 shares from 3,605,445 to 5,305,445.

The full text of the proposed Plan Amendment is set out in Annex B to this proxy statement. The text of the proposed Plan Amendment is subject to modification to include such changes as the Board deems necessary and advisable to affect the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan. Stockholders are being asked to approve the Plan Amendment.

The share numbers included in this Incentive Plan Proposal assume that the Company has not affected the Reverse Split.

General

The Plan provides for grants of stock options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company (and affiliates of the Company). The maximum number of shares of common stock currently reserved for the grant of awards under the Plan is 3,605,445, subject to adjustment as provided by the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board or by the full Board, which may determine, among other things, the (a) terms and conditions of any option or stock purchase right granted, including the exercise price and the vesting schedule, (b) persons who are to receive options and stock purchase rights and (c) the number of shares to be subject to each option and stock purchase right. As of the Record Date, 499,217 shares were available for future grants under the Plan. If the proposal for the Plan Amendment is approved, then the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for grant of awards under the Plan will be 5,305,445, of which 2,199,217 will be available for future grants.

Reasons for the Plan Amendment

The purpose of our Plan is to attract and retain directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees whose services are considered valuable, to encourage a sense of proprietorship and to stimulate an active interest of such persons in our development and financial achievements. Our Board believes that the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan remaining available is insufficient to achieve the purpose of the Plan. Therefore, our Board believes the Plan Amendment is necessary to allow flexibility in granting awards to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means for directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors to acquire and maintain an interest in us, which interest may be measured by reference to the value of our Common Stock.

Effects of the Plan Amendment

As a result of the Plan Amendment, there will be an increase in the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan. This will provide the Company with the ability to grant more awards than are currently available under the Plan to eligible recipients including employees, directors, consultants and advisors. The issuance in the future of awards under the Plan consisting of full value awards and options to purchase shares of Common Stock may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of the holders of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. The effective increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock which may be issued as awards under the Plan may be construed as having an anti-takeover effect by permitting the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights.

PROPOSAL 5
APPROVAL OF COMPENSATION
AWARDED TO NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Introduction

As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-21(a), we are seeking an advisory, non-binding stockholder vote with respect to compensation awarded to our named executive officers for 2014.

Our executive compensation program and compensation paid to our named executive officers are described on pages 27 to 29 of this proxy statement. Our compensation programs are overseen by the Compensation Committee and reflect our philosophy to pay all of our employees, including our named executive officers, in ways that support three primary business objectives:

•

Attract and retain the best talent.

•

Support our culture of performance.

•

Align employee interests with long-term stockholder interests in the overall success of the Company.

To help achieve these objectives, we structure our named executive officers’ compensation to reward the achievement of short-term and long-term strategic and operational goals.

Required Vote

The approval of this proposal will be made upon the affirmative vote of the majority of shares cast on the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no direct effect on the outcome of this proposal. Because this vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon our Board. However, the Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the vote, along with other relevant factors, in evaluating its executive compensation program. Accordingly, the following resolution is submitted for stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation awarded to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed under SEC rules, including the compensation tables and related narrative disclosures included in this proxy statement.”

Recommendation of the Board

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

The audit committee will be required to report regularly to the Company’s board of directors to discuss any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of the Company’s financial statements, its compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, the performance and independence of the Company’s independent auditors, or the performance of the internal audit function.

The Board believes that all of its directors should have the highest personal integrity and have a record of exceptional ability and judgment. The Board also believes that its directors should ideally reflect a mix of experience and other qualifications. There is no firm requirement of minimum qualifications or skills that candidates must possess. The corporate governance and nominations committee evaluates director candidates based on a number of qualifications, including their independence, judgment, leadership ability, expertise in the industry, experience developing and analyzing business strategies, financial literacy, risk management skills, and, for incumbent directors, his or her past performance. While neither the Board nor the corporate governance and nominations committee has adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity when evaluating candidates for election to the Board, it is our goal to have a balanced Board, with members whose skills, background and experience are complimentary and, together, cover the variety of areas that impact our business.

Compliance With Section 16 (a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our common stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2014 the following forms were not filed on a timely basis:

W. Frank King, a director of the Company, failed to file one Form 4 relating to one transaction in a timely manner.
