Proxy Statement

We are providing these proxy materials in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of Sensus Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation, of proxies to be voted at our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

We will hold our 2024 Annual Meeting at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, Friday, May 31, 2024, at the Boca Raton Marriott at Boca Center, 5150 Town Center Circle, Boca Raton, FL 33486.

To conduct the business of the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. The presence in person or by proxy of at least a majority of the shares entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions, broker non-votes, and votes withheld from director nominees will be counted toward fulfillment of quorum requirements. 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 nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. In the absence of voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares, brokers and nominees will have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of our independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, but will not have discretionary authority to vote on any of the other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Voting Information

Who can vote?

All stockholders of record at the close of business on the record date of April 10, 2024 are entitled to receive these proxy materials and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, there were 16,393,421 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

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

Some of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, trustee, or other nominee rather than directly in their own names. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and shares owned beneficially.

        Stockholder of Record.    If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are considered the “stockholder of record” of those shares. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to a third party, or to vote at the Annual Meeting.

        Beneficial Owner.    If your shares are held in a brokerage account, by a trustee, or by another nominee, then you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares. As the beneficial owner of those shares, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee, or nominee how to vote and you also are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not attend or vote these shares at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy,” as discussed below.

If you are a beneficial owner, we will not know that you are a stockholder, or how many shares you own, unless you obtain a legal proxy.

How do I vote as a stockholder of record?

As a stockholder of record, you may vote by one of the following four methods:

        Internet Voting.    You will be able to vote your shares via the Internet and confirm that your vote has been properly recorded. Please see your proxy card or notice for specific instructions.

        Telephone Voting.    You may vote your shares by using the toll-free number listed on the proxy card. This procedure also allows you to vote your shares and to confirm that your vote was recorded. Please see your proxy card for specific instructions.

        Voting By Mail.    You may sign, date, and mail your proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

        Voting at the Annual Meeting.    You may vote at the Meeting.

How do I vote as a beneficial owner?

If your shares are held through a broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee, you will receive a request for voting instructions with respect to your shares from the broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee. You should respond to the request for voting instructions in the manner specified by the broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee. If you have questions about voting your shares, you should contact your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee and you wish to attend and/or vote at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a legal proxy. You must request a legal proxy through your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee. Please note that if you request a legal proxy, any proxy with respect to your shares previously executed by your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee will be revoked, and your vote will not be counted unless you vote at the Annual Meeting or legally appoint another proxy to vote on your behalf.

Table of Contents

How many votes are required to approve the matters being submitted to stockholder votes at the Annual Meeting?

According to our Bylaws, the outcomes of each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting will be determined as follows:

Election of Directors.    A nominee will be elected to our Board in an uncontested election if the votes cast “for” the nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” the nominee’s election. Abstentions and broker non-votes do not count as votes “for” or “against” and, therefore, have no effect on the outcome of the voting. As the election of directors at the Annual Meeting is uncontested, each nominee will be elected if he or she receives a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock at the Annual Meeting. If stockholders do not re-elect a nominee who is already a director, Delaware law provides that the director continues to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” We do not allow cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Amending our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers of the Company, as permitted by Delaware law.    The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our shares outstanding as of the record date and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be required to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers of the Company, as permitted by Delaware law. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal.

Other Matters.    The advisory vote on our named executive officers’ compensation, the ratification of the appointment of our independent public accounting firm, and all other matters submitted for a vote will be determined by a majority of votes cast affirmatively or negatively, except as otherwise required by law. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of votes on these matters.

What is the deadline for voting my shares?

If you hold shares as the stockholder of record, then your vote by proxy must be received before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 30, 2024 (the day before the Annual Meeting). If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, please follow the instructions provided by your broker, trustee, or other nominee.

Where can I find the stockholder voting results?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and report final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) following the Annual Meeting.

Proposal 1 — Election of Directors

Director Nominating Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, comprised solely of independent directors, is responsible for identifying potential directors, reviewing each potential nominee’s qualifications, and recommending director nominees to the Board for its consideration. To fulfill these responsibilities, the Committee annually assesses the requirements of the Board and makes recommendations to the Board regarding its size, composition, and structure. In determining whether to nominate an incumbent director for reelection, the Committee evaluates each incumbent director’s continued service in light of the current assessment of the Board’s requirements.

When the need to fill a new Board seat or vacancy arises, the Committee proceeds by whatever means it deems appropriate to identify a qualified candidate or candidates, which may include engaging an outside search firm or considering recommendations from stockholders, current directors, and executive officers. The Committee reviews the qualifications of each potential candidate, which may include the candidate’s integrity, character, independent judgment, breadth of experience, insight, knowledge and business acumen, as well as whether the potential candidate is independent, as that term is defined in the Nasdaq Stock Market listing standards. Leadership skills and executive experience, expertise in medical technology or devices, medical knowledge, financial and accounting knowledge, prior experience in our core markets, expertise in capital markets, strategic planning and marketing expertise, among others, may also be among the relevant selection criteria. The Committee strives to maintain a Board that reflects a diversity of experience and personal backgrounds and characteristics (see the Board Diversity Matrix below). The selection criteria may vary over time depending on the needs of the Board.

Final candidates are generally interviewed by one or more Committee members. The Committee makes a recommendation to the Board based on its review, the results of interviews with the candidates, and other available information. The Board makes the final decision on whether to invite a candidate to join the Board based on the totality of the merits of each candidate rather than any specific or minimum qualifications or attributes. The Board-approved invitation is extended by the Chairman of the Board.

Independent Directors

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq requires that a majority of our directors be “independent,” as defined by Nasdaq’s rules. Generally, a director does not qualify as an independent director if the director or a member of a director’s immediate family has had in the past three years certain relationships or affiliations with us, our external or internal auditors, or other companies that do business with us. Based on these rules, our Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Cornish and Messrs. Heinrich, McCall, Petrelli and O’Rear are independent and that Mr. J. Sardano, our CEO, and Mr. M. Sardano, our President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary, are not independent.

Director Recommendations by Stockholders

The Committee will consider recommendations for director nominees from stockholders made in writing and addressed to the attention of the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, in care of the Corporate Secretary, Sensus Healthcare, Inc., 851 Broken Sound Parkway, NW #215, Boca Raton, FL 33487. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider recommendations from stockholders on the same basis as other recommendations.

Election of Directors

The Board is divided into three classes, designated Classes I, II, and III. The directors in each class are elected for terms of three years or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. We believe this classified board structure is appropriate for the Company. Obtaining a three-year commitment from our directors assists us in retaining highly qualified directors who have experience and familiarity with our business. We believe that such long-term institutional knowledge benefits Sensus and enables the Board to better consider and provide long-term strategic planning.

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will elect two Class III directors for terms ending at the 2027 Annual Meeting. The Board proposes the nominees set forth below for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. Unless instructed otherwise, the designated proxies will vote each properly delivered proxy for the election of each of the nominees as director.

If a nominee is unable to serve, the shares represented by all valid proxies that have not been revoked will be voted for the election of a substitute nominee selected by the Board, or the Board may by resolution reduce the size of the Board to eliminate the resulting vacancy. At this time, the Board knows of no reason why any nominee might be unable to serve. All nominees are currently serving as directors.

The Board currently consists of seven members. Samuel O’Rear has decided not to stand for reelection to the Board and will be retiring after the Annual Meeting. Once the Annual Meeting has concluded, the Board will be reduced from seven to six directors. Ms. Cornish is currently a Class II Director but will resign from that position upon her election as a Class III Director. If Ms. Cornish is not elected as a Class III Director, she will remain a Class II Director with a term expiring at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The following paragraphs provide information as of the date of this Proxy Statement about each nominee and each incumbent director who will remain in office following the Annual Meeting. While the following paragraphs note certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the Board’s effectiveness as a whole, we also believe that all of our nominees and incumbent directors have demonstrated integrity, honesty, and adherence to high ethical standards, as well as strong leadership skills, business acumen, an ability to exercise sound judgment, and a commitment of service to our stockholders.

Corporate Governance; Our Board and Committees

We believe that good governance promotes the long-term interests of our stockholders and strengthens Board and management accountability. Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that set forth expectations for our Company. You may view a copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines on our website (www.sensushealthcare.com). Selected policies from our Corporate Governance Guidelines are set forth below.

Board structure and process

Our Board oversees our business, property, and affairs pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Members of our Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our executive management team, by reviewing materials provided to them, and by participating in Board and committee meetings. During 2023, our Board held nine meetings. Each incumbent director attended at least 78% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and Committees on which he or she served.

Role of the Board and Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management practices, policies, and processes. The Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather oversees risk directly at the Board level, as well as through our Board committees that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular:

        our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure;

        our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing processes to identify, measure, and prioritize business and financial reporting risks and the effectiveness of the processes to manage those risks and for overseeing our policies on risk assessment and risk management;

        our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees our corporate governance policies, practices, and procedures, and monitors the effectiveness of such policies, practices, and procedures, including whether they are successful in preventing illegal or improper conduct; and

        our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation arrangements have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking, and evaluates our compensation policies and practices that could mitigate any such risk.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board has no policies with respect to separating the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer or whether the Chairman should be a member of management or a non-management director, and believes that these are matters that should be discussed and determined by the Board from time to time. The independent directors annually elect a Chairman of the Board, who may or may not be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Currently, Mr. J. Sardano serves as both our Chairman and CEO. Given that he is tasked with the responsibility of implementing our corporate strategy, we believe he is best suited for leading discussions regarding performance relative to our corporate strategy, and these discussions represent a significant portion of our Board meetings. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the independent directors may also elect a lead independent director when the Chairman and CEO roles are combined. Our independent directors have not elected a lead independent director.

Executive Sessions

Executive sessions or meetings of non-employee directors without management present are held regularly to review the criteria upon which the performance of the CEO and other executive officers is based, the performance of the CEO and other executive officers against such criteria, the compensation of the CEO and other executive officers, and any other relevant matters.

Table of Contents

Director Service on Other Public Boards

Directors, other than the CEO, may not serve on the boards of more than three other public companies in addition to our Board. The CEO may not serve on more than one board of another public company in addition to our Board.

Change in Director Occupation

Any director who experiences a material change in his or her job responsibilities or in the principal occupation he or she held when he or she joined the Board must deliver advance, written notice of such change in status to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Committee will then evaluate whether the director will continue to satisfy our director criteria in light of his or her new occupational status and will recommend to the Board the action, if any, to be taken with respect to such director, which may include, without limitation, requiring the director to resign or not accept the other position.

Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders

We encourage but do not require all directors, as well as nominees for election as director, to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. None of our directors (other than Mr. J. Sardano and Mr. M. Sardano) attended the 2023 Annual Meeting.

Stockholder Communications

Our Board provides for a process by which stockholders may communicate with the Board, a Board committee, the independent directors as a group, or individual directors. Stockholders who wish to communicate with our Board, a Board committee, or any other directors or individual directors may do so by sending written communications addressed to the Board, a Board committee, or such group of directors or individual directors to the following address:

Sensus Healthcare, Inc.
c/o Corporate Secretary
851 Broken Sound Parkway, NW #215
Boca Raton, FL 33487

Communications will be compiled by our Corporate Secretary and submitted to the Board, a committee of the Board, or the appropriate group of directors or individual directors, as appropriate, at the next regular meeting of the Board. The Board has requested that the Corporate Secretary submit to the Board all communications received related to Board duties and responsibilities and that advertisements, solicitations, and other material unrelated to the Board’s duties and responsibilities not be submitted.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

The Board has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applicable to our directors, our Chief Executive Officer, and all other employees, including our financial and accounting officers, which may be viewed at our website (www.sensushealthcare.com), or, upon written request, without charge, to:

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

We have adopted a written policy on transactions with related persons. Under SEC rules, a related person is an officer, director, nominee for director or beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or an immediate family member of any of the foregoing. Pursuant to our policy and our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, directors (including director nominees), executive officers, and employees are required to report any transactions or circumstances that may create or appear to create a conflict between the personal interests of the individual and our interests, regardless of the amount involved.

The Audit Committee is responsible for evaluating each related party transaction and making a determination as to whether the transaction is fair, reasonable and within our policy and whether it should be approved or ratified. In reviewing related party transactions, our Audit Committee considers the relevant facts and circumstances to decide whether to approve such transactions. Our Audit Committee approves only those transactions that it determines are in our best interest. In particular, our policy on related party transactions requires our Audit Committee to consider, among other factors it deems appropriate:

        whether the transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances; and

        the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction.

Pursuant to our policy, our Audit Committee has identified the following categories of transactions as deemed to be preapproved by the Audit Committee:

        our employment of any executive officer or compensation paid by us to any executive officer if, among other conditions, our Compensation Committee has approved (or recommended that our Board approve) such compensation;

        any compensation paid to a director if the compensation is required to be reported in our proxy statement under the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules;

        any transaction with another company at which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), director or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s shares, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed 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;

        any charitable contribution, grant or endowment made by us to a charitable organization, foundation or university with which a related person’s only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer) or a director, if the aggregate amount involved does not exceed 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;

        any transaction where the related person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of our common stock and all holders of our common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis; and

        any transaction involving a related person where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids.

In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires that our employees and directors inform our General Counsel or the Audit Committee of any material transaction or relationship that comes to their attention that could reasonably be expected to create or appear to create a conflict of interest. Further, at least annually, each director and executive officer completes a detailed questionnaire that asks questions about any business relationship that may give rise to a conflict of interest and all transactions in which we are involved and in which the executive officer, a director or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest.

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are described in this Proxy Statement and the relationships described below, since January 1, 2023, there has not been, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 (our current threshold for reporting related party transactions) and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Executive Compensation

Introduction

We are a “smaller reporting company”. As such, under SEC rules, we are not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in this Proxy Statement and have elected to comply with other reduced compensation disclosure requirements as permitted under SEC rules. For 2023, our named executive officers, or NEOs, were Joseph C. Sardano, Michael Sardano, and Javier Rampolla.

The objective of our compensation program is to provide a total compensation package to each named executive officer that will enable us to attract, motivate and retain outstanding individuals, reward named executive officers for performance, and align the financial interests of each named executive officer with the interests of our stockholders to encourage each named executive officer to contribute to our long-term performance and success.

The compensation program for our named executive officers consists of the following elements: base salary; performance-based discretionary cash bonus; equity-based incentive compensation; and severance and change-in-control benefits.

Our Compensation Committee, with input from the Board, determines the compensation for our named executive officers, subject where applicable to any employment agreements.

Base Salary

We pay base salaries to attract, recruit and retain qualified employees. In 2023, the base salary of each of the named executive officers, pursuant to their respective employment agreements, was as follows: Mr. J. Sardano — $450,000, Mr. M. Sardano — $300,000, and Mr. Rampolla — $250,000.

Performance-Based Cash Bonus Compensation

Our executive compensation program for our NEOs includes an annual performance-based discretionary cash bonus. Our Board approves the terms and conditions of these awards on an annual basis. We have maintained, and intend to continue, an annual performance-based cash bonus program for the named executive officers that do not receive sales commissions.

Equity Incentive Compensation

In 2017, we adopted, and our stockholders approved, our broad-based 2017 Incentive Plan under which we can award various forms of equity-based incentive compensation, including incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance shares and phantom stock, and awards consisting of combinations of such incentive awards. In 2023, our stockholders approved an amendment to our 2017 Incentive Plan, to, among other things, increase the number of shares that may be issued under the plan.

Benefits and Perquisites

We offer health and welfare benefits and life insurance to our named executive officers on the same basis that these benefits are offered to our other eligible employees, except that we pay the employee contribution toward the cost of health insurance for our named executive officers. We offer a 401(k) plan to all eligible employees. In addition, each NEO receives a non-accountable monthly car allowance.

Compensation Committee Process and Procedures

The Compensation Committee uses its business judgment and other resources it deems appropriate in executing its duties, including establishing our compensation philosophy and policies, overseeing the implementation of executive officer and non-employee director compensation programs and overseeing disclosures regarding compensation in our SEC filings. In executing its duties, the Compensation Committee considers many factors, including market comparisons using data derived from third party resources, competitive considerations, executive expectations and executive performance. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee has not delegated any of its responsibilities to other parties.

16

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to our Board for determination the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mr. Sardano separately submits recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding all other executive officers for use by the Compensation Committee in making recommendations to the Board concerning their base salary and incentive compensation. An executive officer may not be present at a meeting of the Compensation Committee where that executive officer’s compensation is being discussed.

The Compensation Committee did not engage any compensation consultants in 2023.

Summary Compensation Table

The following summary compensation table shows compensation information for our principal executive officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers as of December 31, 2023. We refer to each of the individuals named in the table below as “named executive officers.”

Incentive Compensation Clawback

Effective October 2, 2023, the Board of Directors updated our compensation recovery policy in accordance with the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standard adopted pursuant to SEC rules (the “Clawback Policy”). The Clawback Policy provides, among other things, that we will seek to recover any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by covered executives of the Company (which are determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board and includes current and former executive officers) during the three completed fiscal years preceding any date on which we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws.

Paragraph A of Article VII of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Restated Certificate”) currently provides for the Company to limit the monetary liability of directors in certain circumstances, pursuant to and consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”). Effective August 1, 2022, Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL was amended to permit a corporation to eliminate or limit monetary liability for certain senior corporate officers for breach of the duty of care in certain actions. In light of this update, the Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable the amendment to our Restated Certificate to provide for the elimination or limitation of monetary liability of specified executive officers of the Company for the breach of the duty of care in certain actions, as further described below.

Purpose and Effects of the Proposed Amendment

As a general matter, the Board believes that our Restated Certificate should contain provisions consistent with the DGCL, as amended from time to time, and that amending our Restated Certificate to add the authorized liability protection for certain officers, consistent with the protection currently afforded our directors, is desirable in order to continue to attract and retain experienced and qualified officers.

The proposed amendment would allow for the exculpation of certain officers only in connection with direct claims brought by stockholders, including class actions, but would not eliminate officers’ monetary liability for breach of fiduciary duty claims brought by the Company itself or for derivative claims brought by stockholders in the name of the Company. As is currently the case with directors under our Restated Certificate, the proposed amendment would not allow the elimination or limitation of liability of officers for: any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, and any transaction from which the officer derived an improper personal benefit. The rationale for so limiting the scope of liability is to strike a balance between stockholders’ interest in accountability and their interest in the Company being able to attract and retain quality officers to work on its behalf.

Accordingly, the Board recommends that the Company’s stockholders approve the following resolution (changes to the current Restated Certificates in italics):

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to revise Paragraph A of Article VII as follows:

A. To the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director or officer of the Corporation will not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended after the filing of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors and/or officers, then the liability of a director and/or officer of the Corporation, as applicable, shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended. Any repeal or modification of Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. All references in this paragraph to an “officer” shall mean only a person who, at the time of an act or omission as to which liability is asserted, falls within the meaning of the term “officer,” as defined in Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Upon approval of this proposal, the Company will file with the Delaware Secretary of State a further Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the amendment to Paragraph A of Article VII.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the
approval of the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Proposal 3 —
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation of our named executive officers

We are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as discussed above in the section entitled “Executive Compensation.” We have designed our executive compensation to attract, motivate, reward, and retain the senior management talent required to achieve our corporate objectives and to increase long-term stockholder value. We believe that our executive compensation program is designed to reward results relevant to our short-term and long-term success based on both corporate and individual performance.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives you, as a stockholder, the opportunity to express your views on our executive compensation policies for our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the framework, policies, and procedures described in this Proxy Statement. We are currently holding “say-on-pay” advisory votes on an annual basis.

We are asking our stockholders to vote on the following advisory resolution for our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement.

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Proxy Statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and the related footnotes and narrative discussion therein, is hereby approved on an advisory basis.”

Because this is an advisory vote, it will not be binding upon the Company. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote in connection with its regular evaluations of our executive compensation program and in establishing our named executive officers’ compensation.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote, on an advisory basis “FOR” the
executive compensation of our named executive officers set forth in this Proxy Statement.

Audit Committee Matters

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, which operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, monitors the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. This report reviews the actions taken by the Audit Committee with regard to the Company’s financial reporting process during 2023 and particularly with regard to the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023.

The Audit Committee believes that it has taken the actions necessary or appropriate to fulfill its oversight responsibilities under its charter. In fulfilling these oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, including a discussion of the quality (rather than just the acceptability) of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee also reviewed with Marcum LLP the firm’s judgments as to the quality (rather than just the acceptability) of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board standards. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with Marcum LLP the firm’s independence from management and the Company, including the written disclosures, letter, and other matters required of Marcum LLP by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Additionally, the Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s independent auditors the overall scope and plan for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for filing with the SEC.

Policy on Audit Committee Preapproval of Services of Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee of the Board specifically pre-approves all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. All audit, audit-related, tax and all other services provided by Marcum LLP to us in 2023 were approved by the Audit Committee by means of specific pre-approvals. The Audit Committee has determined that all nonaudit services provided by Marcum LLP in 2023 were compatible with maintaining its independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.

Proposal 4 —
Ratification of Appointment of Independent
Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has appointed the accounting firm of Marcum LLP to serve as our independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. A proposal to ratify that appointment will be presented at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Marcum LLP are expected to be present at the Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent public accounting firm is not required by our Bylaws or other applicable legal requirement. However, the Board is submitting the appointment of Marcum LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee at its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and our stockholders’ best interests.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification
of our appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent public
accounting firm for the current fiscal year.

Security Ownership of
Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information as of April 10, 2024 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by: each person or group known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock; each of our named executive officers; each of our directors and director nominees; and all of our current executive officers and directors as a group. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 16,393,421 shares of common stock outstanding.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of securities, or to dispose or direct the disposition of securities or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Except as disclosed in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, we believe that each beneficial owner identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all common stock shown as beneficially owned by the beneficial owner.

Pay Versus Performance

Pay Versus Performance Table for 2023, 2022, and 2021

As required by the SEC rules, we are providing the following information regarding the relationship between executive compensation and our financial performance for each of the last two years. In determining “compensation actually paid,” or “CAP,” to our NEOs, those rules require us to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) in previous years, as the SEC’s valuation methods for this section differ from those required in the SCT. The table below summarizes compensation values both previously reported in our SCT, as well as the adjusted values required in this section for 2021, 2022, and 2023. Note that for our NEOs other than our principal executive officer (the “PEO”), compensation is reported as an average. The Compensation Committee did not consider the pay versus performance disclosure when making its incentive compensation decisions. For further information about how we align executive compensation with the company’s performance, see the section entitled “Executive Compensation” above.

General Information About Our Meeting

Treatment of Voting Instructions

If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as instructed.

If you are a stockholder of record and return a proxy without giving specific voting instructions, then your shares will be voted FOR each of the nominees for election to the Board, as set forth in Proposal 1, FOR the approval of the amendment of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as set forth in Proposal 2, FOR the approval, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as set forth in Proposal 3, and FOR the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in Proposal 4.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, and you do not give instructions to that nominee on how you want your shares voted, then your nominee can only vote your shares on “routine” matters. At the Annual Meeting, only Proposal 4 is considered “routine”, which means that your broker, trustee, or other nominee can vote your shares on Proposal 4 if you do not timely provide instructions to vote your shares, and that your shares will not be voted on any other matters.

If your broker, trustee, or other nominee does not vote your shares on proposals other than Proposal 4, it is called a “broker non-vote.” A “broker non-vote” will be treated as unvoted for purposes of determining approval for any such proposal and will have the effect of neither a vote for nor a vote against the proposal. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, and that nominee does not have discretion to vote your shares on a particular proposal and you do not give your broker instructions on how to vote your shares, then the votes will be considered broker non-votes.

You may have granted to your broker, trustee, or other nominee discretionary voting authority over your account. Your broker, trustee, or other nominee may be able to vote your shares depending on the terms of the agreement you have with your broker, trustee, or other nominee.

We have designated two of our officers, Javier Rampolla and Michael Sardano, as proxies for the 2024 Annual Meeting. These persons will have the authority to vote the proxies granted by our stockholders and will also have authority to vote, in their discretion, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any postponement or adjournment. The Board is not aware of any other matters that are likely to be brought before the Annual Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting, including a proposal to adjourn or postpone the Annual Meeting to permit us to solicit additional proxies in favor of any proposal, the persons named as proxies will vote on such matter in their own discretion.

Revocability of Proxies

A stockholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to its exercise at the Annual Meeting by either (i) giving written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary, (ii) properly submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or (iii) appearing in person and voting at the Annual Meeting.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held through a broker, trustee, or other nominee, you must follow the specific instructions provided to you by your broker, trustee, or other nominee to change or revoke any instructions you have already provided to your broker, trustee, or other nominee.

Costs of Proxy Solicitation

Proxies will be solicited from our stockholders by mail. We will pay all expenses in connection with the solicitation, including postage, printing and handling, and the expenses incurred by brokers, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners. We may employ a proxy solicitation firm to solicit proxies in connection with the Annual Meeting, and we estimate that the fee payable for such services would be approximately $10,000, plus reasonable expenses. It is possible that our directors, officers and other employees may make further solicitations personally or by telephone, facsimile, mail, or email. Our directors, officers and other employees will receive no additional compensation for any such further solicitations.

Other Matters

Other Matters to Come Before the 2024 Meeting

The Company is not aware of any matters that are expected to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If any other matter should properly come before the Meeting, the proxies intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment.

Proposals for the 2025 Meeting

Stockholder proposals submitted under the SEC rules for inclusion in the Proxy Statement for the 2025 annual meeting must be received no later than January 3, 2025. Stockholder proposals submitted under the SEC rules must be submitted in writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal offices and must comply with the proxy rules.

Stockholders wishing to nominate a person for election as a director must do so in accordance with the requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Under our Bylaws, stockholder nominations with respect to director nominees to stand for election at an annual meeting must be received no earlier than 120 days and no later than 90 days prior to the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting. Consequently, stockholder nominations to be considered at the 2025 annual meeting must be received no earlier than January 31, 2025 and no later than March 2, 2025. Additionally, a stockholder soliciting proxies in support of director candidates other than those nominated by the Board are subject to the SEC’s “universal proxy” rules and must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than January 30, 2025.

Annual Report

We filed with the SEC our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, which accompanies this Proxy Statement. Stockholders may obtain, free of charge, a copy of our annual report on Form 10-K. Requests should be directed to our Corporate Secretary, Sensus Healthcare, Inc., 851 Broken Sound Parkway, NW #215, Boca Raton, FL 33487.

Stockholders Sharing the Same Address

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC known as “householding.” Under this procedure, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name will receive only one copy of our Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and Annual Report, unless one or more of these stockholders notifies our transfer agent that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees. If you wish to receive your own copy of these materials, you may contact our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (formerly known as American Stock Transfer & Trust Company), in writing, by telephone, or on the Internet:

(800) 937-5449 (U.S. and Canada)

(718) 921-8124 (International)

HelpAST@equiniti.com

Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. If you are eligible for householding, but you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of our Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement, and Annual Report, or if you hold stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of each document for your household, please contact our transfer agent as indicated above. Beneficial owners can request information about householding from their banks, brokers, or other nominees.
