Dear Valued Stockholders:

I am so excited to join Wrap as its new CEO and look forward to building a bright future for Wrap and our stockholders. I come from a long career in law enforcement and technology and look forward to bringing that insight and experience to scaling the Wrap team. I am excited to have brought Kevin Mullins on board as our President to drive an improved approach to our go to market functions. We have so much opportunity and I believe that Kevin is the right addition to our leadership team to build a repeatable and scalable sales and marketing approach to drive our growth.

We will be building a strategic roadmap for Wrap over the next 90 days. This strategic roadmap will guide the vision and goals of the company and create key objectives to measure the business’s success going forward. We want to expand and grow the business, but in a cost effective and sustainable way. The future opportunity for Wrap domestically and internationally is massive.  We will build in execution excellence and drive an improved go to market motion. We have a solid team today and look forward to building upon that foundation.

We already have a unique patented solution that is first to market globally with a less-lethal, safe, and pain free way to take individuals into custody – one which protects our communities and our police officers. We have created a simple to use tool that works like remote handcuffs to ensure a safe space between the subject of the intervention and the officer as well as bystanders. It is one of the only tools that does not rely on pain compliance and is geared to be used very early in an encounter to ensure everyone’s safety. We want to help save lives and careers. We also want to help prevent police encounters from turning deadly and creating turmoil for citizens and law enforcement.

We are also delivering cutting edge virtual reality training solutions for law enforcement and security personnel that provide a fully immersive experience to train on public interaction, de-escalation, and the proper use of technology and tools in everyday police situations.

We have experienced management that can deliver and scale the company. We faced extremely difficult supply chain issues, including converting our supply chain and manufacturing facilities from producing the BolaWrap 100 to the BolaWrap 150 during a global pandemic with severe shortages of parts and materials. This hurt us in Q1 production and sales, but we expect this will be remedied in the long term.

We now have over 750 agencies with BolaWrap devices and have delivered product to 53 countries. We have certified more than 4000 instructors and have trained more than 1200 agencies. Last year we invested more than $5.4M in research and development to continue to be on the forefront of law enforcement technology.

Going forward, we are laser focused on building domestic and international repeatable sales. We will be enhancing our customer success function to improve agency expansion while building a more effective go to market function that will scale with the business.

I look forward to sharing with you in Q3 of this year our strategic roadmap on where we will be taking Wrap over the next couple of years and the future that lies ahead for us.

Thank you for trusting the great team at Wrap and we look forward to delivering to our shareholders and our stakeholders in law enforcement and the public.

We have elected to provide access to this year’s proxy materials primarily over the Internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) “notice and access” rules. We intend to mail a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) on or about May 13, 2022 to each of our stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, which will contain instructions for accessing this Proxy Statement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“Annual Report”) and voting instructions.

This Proxy Statement and the Annual Report can also be accessed free of charge online as of May 6, 2022 at: http://www.colonialstock.com/wrap2022.

Voting

The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at our Annual Meeting are each described in this Proxy Statement. Only holders of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock’’), as of the close of business on April 25, 2022 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 40,970,322 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share held as of the Record Date.

-1-

Quorum

In order for any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting, a quorum must be present. The presence at the Annual Meeting, either in attendance virtually or by proxy, of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If you submit a properly executed proxy, regardless of whether you abstain from voting on one or more matters, your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will also be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the Chairman of the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of the adjourned Annual Meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given. An adjournment will have no effect on the business that may be conducted at the Annual Meeting. 

Required Vote for Approval

Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors. Directors are elected by a plurality vote. This means that the six director nominees who receive the greatest number of affirmative votes cast at the Annual Meeting by the shares present, either in attendance virtually or represented by proxy, and entitled to vote, will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of the directors. 

Proposal No. 2: Plan Amendment, and Ratification of all Issuances Made Thereunder to Date. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting securities present, either in attendance virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and entitled to vote on the matter, is necessary to approve the amendment to our 2017 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2017 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 7.5 million shares to 9.0 million shares (the “Plan Amendment’), and to ratify all issuances made thereunder to date (the “Issuance Ratification”) (the “Amendment Proposal”). A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Amendment Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the Amendment Proposal. A broker or nominee will not have discretionary authority to vote on this Amendment Proposal because it is considered a non-routine matter. Accordingly, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the Amendment Proposal.

Proposal No. 3: Ratification of Appointment of Auditors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting securities present, either in attendance virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and entitled to vote on the matter, is necessary to ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 (the “Ratification Proposal”). A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Ratification Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the Ratification Proposal. A broker or other nominee will generally have discretionary authority to vote on the Ratification Proposal because it is considered a routine matter, and therefore we do not expect broker non-votes with respect to the Ratification Proposal. However, any broker non-votes received will have no effect on the outcome of the Ratification Proposal.

Broker Non-Votes

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee (typically a broker or bank) holding shares for a beneficial owner (typically referred to as shares being held in “street name”) submits a proxy for the Annual Meeting, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares with respect to that proposal.

Brokers and other nominees may vote on “routine” proposals on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions, subject to the rules applicable to broker nominees concerning transmission of proxy materials to beneficial owners, and subject to any proxy voting policies and procedures of those firms. The ratification of the independent registered public accountants, for example, is a routine proposal. Brokers and other nominees may not vote on “non-routine” proposals, unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. The election of directors is considered a “non-routine” proposal. This means that brokers and other firms must obtain voting instructions from the beneficial owner to vote on these matters; otherwise, they will not be able to cast a vote for such “non-routine” proposals. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow their voting instructions so you can instruct your broker on how to vote your shares.

-2-

Voting and Revocation of Proxies

If your proxy is properly returned to the Company, the shares represented thereby will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions specified thereon. If you return your proxy without specifying how the shares represented thereby are to be voted, the proxy will be voted (i) FOR the election of the six director nominees named in this Proxy Statement, (ii) FOR the Plan Amendment and Issuance Ratification, (iii) FOR ratification of the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as our independent auditors for the current fiscal year, and (iv) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by (i) filing, with our Corporate Secretary at our executive offices, located at 1817 W 4th Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281, a notice of revocation or another signed proxy with a later date, or (ii) by voting online at the virtual Annual Meeting. Attendance at the virtual Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke a proxy. Shares can be voted at the Annual Meeting only if the holder is present or represented by proxy. If you are a stockholder whose shares are not registered in your own name, you will need additional documentation from your broker or record holder to vote personally at the Annual Meeting.

No Appraisal Rights

The stockholders of the Company have no dissenter’s or appraisal rights in connection with any of the proposals described herein.

Solicitation

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of the Notice, as well as the preparation and posting of this Proxy Statement, the Annual Report and any additional solicitation materials furnished to stockholders. Copies of any solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. In addition, we may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone, e-mail or other means by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services. Except as described above, we do not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by e-mail, telephone and mail.

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

Our Bylaws provide that the number of directors that constitute the entire Board of Directors (the “Board”) shall be fixed from time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, but that in no event shall the number be less than three. A director elected by the Board to fill a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the term of that director and until the director’s successor is duly elected and qualified. Our Board currently consists of six directors, each of whom has been nominated by our Nominating and Governance Committee for election at the Annual Meeting. The six director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting consist of Messrs. Wayne R. Walker, Scot Cohen, TJ Kennedy, Michael Parris, Kevin Sherman, and Ms. Kimberly Sentovich.

Each director nominee, if elected at the Annual Meeting, will hold office for a one-year term until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successor is duly elected, unless prior thereto the director resigns, or the director’s office becomes vacant by reason of death or other cause. If any such person is unable or unwilling to serve as a director nominee at the date of the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, the proxies may be voted for a substitute director nominee, designated by the proxy holders and subject to the rules for shareholder director nominations set forth in the Bylaws, or by the present Board to fill such vacancy, or for the balance of those director nominees named without nomination of a substitute, and the Board may be reduced accordingly. The Board has no reason to believe that any of such director nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.  

Vote Required

The election of directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the voting shares present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote during the Annual Meeting. The six nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of the directors.

Unless otherwise instructed or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the election of the director nominees listed above.

Board of Directors Recommendation

The Board recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” the election of Messrs. Wayne R. Walker, Scot Cohen, TJ Kennedy, Michael Parris, Kevin Sherman, and Ms. Kimberly Sentovich.

Board Diversity

Our six directors come from diverse backgrounds. We comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f), which requires Nasdaq-listed companies to have at least two diverse directors, including one self-identified woman and one individual who self-identifies as an underrepresented minority or as LGBTQ+.

The table below provides certain highlights of the composition of our Board members and nominees as of April 25, 2022. Each of the categories listed in the table below has the meaning as it is used in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(f).

Director Nominations

The Board nominates directors for election at each annual meeting of stockholders, appoints new directors to fill vacancies when they arise, and has the responsibility to identify, evaluate and recruit qualified director candidates to the Board for such nomination or appointment.

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies director nominees by first considering those current members of the Board who are willing to continue service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue service are considered for re-election, balancing the value of continuity of service by existing members of the Board with that of obtaining a new perspective. After being nominated by the Nominating and Governance Committee, director nominees are selected by a majority of the members of the Board. Although the Company does not have a formal diversity policy, in considering the suitability of director nominees, both the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board consider such factors as they deem appropriate to develop a Board that is diverse in nature and comprised of experienced and seasoned advisors. Factors considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board include judgment, knowledge, skill, diversity, integrity, experience with businesses and other organizations of comparable size, including experience in law enforcement, the use of force product industry, intellectual property, business, corporate governance, marketing, finance, administration or public service, the relevance of a candidate’s experience to our needs and experience of other Board members, experience with accounting rules and practices, the desire to balance the considerable benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new members, and the extent to which a candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committees of the Board.

A stockholder who wishes to suggest a prospective director nominee for the Board may notify the Corporate Secretary of the Company in writing with any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. Director nominees suggested by stockholders are considered in the same way as director nominees recommended by other sources.

Director Independence

Our Board has reviewed the independence of our directors based on the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Based on this review, the Board of Directors determined that Messrs. Parris, Walker, Sherman, and Ms. Sentovich are independent, as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq rules. In making this determination, our Board considered the relationships that each of these non-employee directors has with us and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence. 

Board Meetings

Directors hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders or until their successors have been elected or appointed and duly qualified. Vacancies on the Board that are created by the retirement, resignation or removal of a director may be filled by the vote of the majority of the remaining members of the Board, with such new director serving the remainder of the term or until his/her successor shall be elected and qualified.

The Board is elected by and is accountable to our stockholders. The Board establishes Company policy and provides strategic direction, oversight, and control. The Board met 12 times during the year ended December 31, 2021, and all incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and of the committees on which each of the directors served. The Board also acted by unanimous written consent four times during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving our accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions by approving the services performed by our independent accountants and reviewing their reports regarding our accounting practices and systems of internal accounting controls. The Audit Committee also oversees the audit efforts of our independent accountants and takes those actions as it deems necessary to satisfy that the accountants are independent of management. The Audit Committee currently consists of Ms. Sentovich, Mr. Parris, and Mr. Sherman, with Ms. Sentovich serving as Chair, each of whom is a non-management member of our Board that we believe meets the criteria for independence under the applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations. Ms. Sentovich is also our designated Audit Committee financial expert, as defined under SEC rules. We believe that the composition of our Audit Committee meets the criteria for independence under the applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations, and the functioning of our Audit Committee complies with the applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations.

The Audit Committee met five times during the year ended December 31, 2021, with all members of the Audit Committee in attendance. The Audit Committee met with our Chief Financial Officer and with our independent registered public accounting firm and evaluated the responses by the Chief Financial Officer, both to the facts presented and to the judgments made by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee determines our general compensation policies and the compensation provided to our directors and officers. The Compensation Committee also reviews and determines bonuses for our officers and other employees. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews and determines equity-based compensation for our directors, officers, employees and consultants and administers the 2017 Plan. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Parris, Sherman and Walker, with Mr. Sherman serving as Chair, each of whom is a non-management member of our Board that we believe meets the criteria for independence under the applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations. We believe that the composition of our Compensation Committee meets the criteria for independence under the applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations, and the functioning of our Compensation Committee complies with the applicable Nasdaq rules and SEC rules and regulations.

In March 2019, the Compensation Committee retained RCL Compensation Consulting (“RCL”) as its independent compensation consultant in connection with the compensation paid to executive officers and to review director compensation. RCL does not provide any material services to management or the Board and has determined that RCL does not have any business or personal relationships with any member of the Board or management.

In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee obtains input and advice from RCL, and reviews recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the performance metrics or objectives as it pertains to the compensation paid to our other executive officers. The Board, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee, reviews and approves the compensation paid to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers.

The Compensation Committee met eight times during the year ended December 31, 2021, with all members of the Compensation Committee in attendance. The Compensation also acted by Unanimous Written Consent seven times during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Special Executive Search Committee currently consists of Messrs. Parris, Sherman and Walker.

Board Role in Risk Assessment

Management, in consultation with outside professionals, as applicable, identifies risks associated with the Company’s operations, strategies and financial statements. Risk assessment will also be performed through periodic reports received by the Audit Committee from management, counsel and the Company’s independent registered public accountants relating to risk assessment and management. Audit Committee members meet privately in executive sessions with representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accountants. The Board also provides risk oversight through its periodic reviews of the financial and operational performance of the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

Currently, TJ Kennedy serves as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Wayne Walker serves as the Chairman of the Board. Our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Board and the Company to separate the roles of the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Although our Board believes the Company is currently best served by separating the role of Chair of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, it will review and consider the continued appropriateness of this structure at least annually.

Indemnification of Officers and Directors

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company will indemnify its directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle, or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been Company directors or officers unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) applicable to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. We will provide any person, without charge, a copy of our Code upon written request to Investor Relations, Wrap Technologies, Inc., at 1817 W 4th Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281. A copy of the Code is publicly available by visiting our website at www.wraptechnologies.com.

Stockholder Communications

If you wish to communicate with the Board, you may send your communication in writing to:

Wrap Technologies, Inc.

1817 W 4th Street

Tempe, Arizona 85281

Attn: Corporate Secretary

You must include your name and address in the written communication and indicate whether you are a stockholder of the Company. Our Corporate Secretary will review any communication received from a stockholder, and all material and appropriate communications from stockholders will be forwarded to the appropriate director or directors or committee of the Board based on the subject matter.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliances

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires our officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors, and greater-than-ten-percent stockholders are also required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to our Company and representation that no other reports were required during the year ended December 31, 2021, we believe that all persons subject to the reporting requirements pursuant to Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely basis with the SEC, other than the below:

●   TJ Kennedy, Kevin Sherman, Jeffrey Kukowski, and Kimberly Sentovich, each of whom were late filing their initial Form 3 reporting no ownership; and

●   TJ Kennedy, Kevin Sherman, Jeffrey Kukowski, and Kimberly Sentovich, each of whom were late reporting one Common Stock grant and one stock option grant.

Potential Payments Upon Termination, Death, Disability, or Retirement

With the exception of the Kennedy Employment Agreement and the Mullins Employment Agreement, we have no executive employee contracts at this time. Each officer and employee is an at-will employee. The royalties payable to Syzygy, partially owned by Messrs. Barnes and Elwood G. Norris and controlled by Mr. Barnes, are unrelated to employment or their roles as officers, and will continue upon any termination, death, disability or retirement.

Compensation Risks Assessment

As required by rules adopted by the SEC, management has assessed our compensation policies and practices with respect to all employees to determine whether risks arising from those policies and practices are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. In doing so, management considered various features and elements of the compensation policies and practices that discourage excessive or unnecessary risk taking. As a result of the assessment, we have determined that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have material adverse effects.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

AMENDMENT TO OUR 2017 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN AND RATIFICATION OF ALL ISSUANCES MADE THEREUNDER TO DATE

Background of Plan and Purpose of the Plan Amendment

The 2017 Plan was adopted by our Board and approved by a majority of our stockholders on March 31, 2017. The 2017 Plan reserved 2.0 million shares of our Common Stock for issuance as one of four types of equity incentive awards: (i) stock options, (ii) shares of Common Stock, (iii) restricted stock awards, and (iv) restricted stock units. The 2017 Plan permits the qualification of awards under the 2017 Plan as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRS Code”). On March 16, 2019, our Board voted unanimously to adopt a Plan Amendment to provide for an additional 2.1 million shares for grants under the 2017 Plan, which increase was approved by the stockholders on May 23, 2019. On April 8, 2020, our Board voted unanimously to adopt a Plan Amendment to provide for an additional 1.9 million shares for grants under the 2017 Plan, which increase was approved by the stockholders on June 5, 2020. On April 23, 2021, our Board voted unanimously to adopt a Plan Amendment to provide for an additional 1.5 million shares for grants under the 2017 Plan, which increase was approved by the stockholders on June 22, 2021. Accordingly, the total shares reserved under the 2017 Plan, as amended, is 7.5 million shares of Common Stock.

As of April 30, 2022, a total of 5,226,344 shares are reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options or reserved for restricted stock awards under the 2017 Plan. As a result of prior exercises and awards of 2,032,375 shares, we currently have 241,281 shares available for issuance as stock options or other awards under the 2017 Plan prior to the proposed Plan Amendment. The proposed Plan Amendment will allow the Company to maintain a sufficient pool of available shares for future grants under the 2017 Plan.

The 2017 Plan provides for the issuance of stock-based awards to attract and retain the services of executives, other key employees and certain contractors. Keeping a proportionate number of shares available for issuance under the 2017 Plan in relation to our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock provides the ability and flexibility to present compensation packages that compare favorably with those offered by other companies. As only 241,281 shares are currently available for issuance under the 2017 Plan, on April 22, 2022, our Board adopted a Plan Amendment to provide for an additional 1.5 million shares for future grants under the 2017 Plan. Although we do not currently have any definitive arrangements or agreements, either written or oral, regarding the issuance of additional awards pursuant to this increase to the 2017 Plan either prior or subsequent to the effectiveness of the Plan Amendment, we may issue additional awards under the 2017 Plan to certain individuals prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment. In the event that we do issue additional awards under the 2017 Plan prior to the effectiveness of the Plan Amendment, all such issuances will be conditioned upon stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment.

Summary Description of the 2017 Plan

The 2017 Plan is intended to (i) encourage ownership of shares by our employees and directors and certain consultants to the Company; (ii) induce them to work for the benefit of the Company; and (iii) provide additional incentive for such persons to promote the success of the Company.

Administration

The Compensation Committee of the Board administers the 2017 Plan, which permits the granting of equity awards to purchase up to 4.1 million shares of our Common Stock, which number will increase to 6.0 million shares of our Common Stock on the day of the Annual Meeting, subject to the receipt of stockholder approval of the Plan Amendment.

The 2017 Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant one of four types of equity incentive awards: (i) stock options, (ii) shares of Common Stock, (iii) restricted stock awards, and (iii) RSUs.

The Compensation Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board the authority to grant or amend awards to participants other than senior executives of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or employees who are “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m)  of the IRS Code . The Compensation Committee includes at least two directors, each of whom qualifies as a non-employee director pursuant to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and an “outside director” pursuant to Section 162(m).

The Compensation Committee, or a committee delegated by the Compensation Committee, will have the exclusive authority to administer the 2017 Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types and sizes of awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting restriction, provided that the Compensation Committee will not have the authority to accelerate vesting or waive the forfeiture of any performance-based awards.

Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the 2017 Plan include non-employee members of the Board, certain consultants to the Company, and all of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Awards

The 2017 Plan provides for the grant of (i) stock options, (iii) Common Stock, (iv) restricted stock awards, and (v) RSUs.  

Changes in Capital Structure

In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Stock Awards (as defined in the 2017 Plan) shall terminate immediately prior to such event. In the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise (individually, a “Corporate Transaction”), then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation shall assume any Stock Awards outstanding under the 2017 Plan or shall substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction) for those outstanding under the 2017 Plan.  In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding under the 2017 Plan, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service (as defined in the 2017 Plan) has not terminated, the vesting of such Stock Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Stock Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the Corporate Transaction. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the 2017 Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the Corporate Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, Participants shall be allowed not less than six months to exercise Stock Awards so vested.

-22-

In addition, in such a case or in the event of any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company or of changes in applicable laws, the Compensation Committee may, subject to the terms of the 2017 Plan, take any of the following actions if it determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the 2017 Plan or with respect to any award: (i) provide for either the termination, purchase or replacement of the awards; (ii) provide that the awards shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices; (iii) make adjustments in the number and type of shares of stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding awards and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding awards which may be granted in the future; (iv) provide for the acceleration of vesting or exercisability of the awards; and (v) provide that the awards cannot vest or be exercised after the event that triggers the action.

Amendment and Termination

The Compensation Committee, subject to approval of the full Board, may terminate, amend, or modify the 2017 Plan at any time; provided, however, that stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment to the extent necessary or desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, to increase the number of shares available under the 2017 Plan, to extend the exercise period for an option beyond ten years from the date of grant or to allow a material increase in the benefits or change the eligibility requirements under the 2017 Plan.

In no event may an award be granted pursuant to the 2017 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effectiveness of the 2017 Plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

Under the 2017 Plan, stock options may be granted which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the IRS Code of 1986, or which are not intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options. In addition, direct grants of stock or restricted stock may be awarded. Accordingly, the 2017 Plan is, in part, a qualified plan for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Company is entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of any participant, or make other arrangements for the collection of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Stock Option, including, without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an Incentive Stock Option or a disqualifying disposition of stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option, or (b) require the participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action, including issuing any shares of Common Stock, with respect to an Incentive Stock Option.

Awards Granted Under the 2017 Plan

Because grants under the 2017 Plan are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee, awards under the 2017 Plan that may be made in the future are not determinable. Future exercise prices for options granted under the 2017 Plan are also not determinable because they will be based upon the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant.

During the period from January 1, 2022 to the date of this Proxy Statement the Board (a) granted to non-executives 42,593 service-based RSUs at pricing ranging from $2.27 to $3.93 and vesting over three to four years and (b) granted an additional 113,000 service-based stock options to non-executive employees at exercise prices ranging from $2.27 to $3.93 and vesting over three to four years. A total of 20,000 of these RSUs and 80,000 of these options were subsequently forfeited.

As noted above, although we do not currently have any definitive arrangements or agreements, either written or oral, regarding the issuance of additional awards pursuant to the 2017 Plan either prior or subsequent to the effectiveness of the Plan Amendment, we may issue additional awards under the 2017 Plan to certain individuals prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the 2020 Plan Amendment. In the event that we do issue additional awards under the 2017 Plan prior to the effectiveness of the Plan Amendment, all such issuances will be conditioned upon stockholder approval of the 2020 Plan Amendment.

A vote in favor of this item will have the result of ratifying the issuance of the awards set forth above as well as the approval of the Plan Amendment.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2021, with respect to compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance, aggregated as follows: 

	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights		Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights		Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a))
Plan Category	(a)		(b)		(c)

Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders		-		-		-

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting securities present, either in attendance virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and entitled to vote on the matter, is required to approve the Plan Amendment and ratify all issuances made under the 2017 Plan to date. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of this proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. A broker or nominee will not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal because it is considered a non-routine matter. Accordingly, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the adoption of the Plan Amendment and ratification of all issuances made under the 2017 Plan to date.

Board of Directors Recommendation

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the Plan Amendment and ratification of all issuances made thereunder to date.

ROSENBERG RICH BAKER BERMAN, P.A. TO SERVE AS OUR

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR

Upon recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, the Board appointed Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. (“RRBB”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022, and recommends that the stockholders ratify such appointment.

The Board may terminate the appointment of RRBB as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without the approval of the Company’s stockholders whenever the Board deems such termination necessary or appropriate.

Representatives of RRBB will be in attendance during the Annual Meeting or available telephonically and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Tax fees (3)		-		-
All other fees (4)		-		-
Total	$	84,000	$	53,000

(2) Audit related fees consist of fees billed for assurance related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit fees”. Included in audit related fees are fees and expenses related to reviews of registration statements and SEC filings other than annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

(3) Tax fees include the aggregate fees billed during the fiscal year indicated for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. No such fees were billed by RRBB for 2021 or 2020.

(4) All other fees consist of fees for products and services other than the services reported above. No such fees were billed by RRBB for 2021 or 2020.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

All audit and non-audit services are pre-approved by the Audit Committee, and were pre-approved by the full Board prior to the formation of the Audit Committee in November 2018, which considers, among other things, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Audit Committee pre-approves the annual engagement of the principal independent registered public accounting firm, including the performance of the annual audit and quarterly reviews for the subsequent fiscal year, and pre-approves specific engagements for tax services performed by such firm. The Audit Committee has also established pre-approval policies and procedures for certain enumerated audit and audit related services performed pursuant to the annual engagement agreement, including such firm’s attendance at and participation at Audit Committee and Board meetings; services of such firm associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or other documents issued in connection with securities offerings, such as comfort letters and consents; such firm’s assistance in responding to any SEC comment letters; and consultations with such firm as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions or events and/or the actual or potential impact of final or proposed rules, standards or interpretations by the SEC, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other regulatory or standard-setting bodies. The Audit Committee is informed of each service performed pursuant to its pre-approval policies and procedures.

The Audit Committee has considered the role of RRBB in providing services to us for the year ended December 31, 2021 and has concluded that such services are acceptable with such firm’s independence.

Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

There have been no changes in or disagreements with accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. 

Auditor Independence

Our Audit Committee and our full Board considered that the work done for us in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, by RRBB was performed while maintaining the independence of RRBB.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Date: April 30, 2022

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A., our independent registered public accounting firm, the audited consolidated financial statements in the Wrap Technologies, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. also provided the Audit Committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditor’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with the registered public accounting firm their independence from our Company.

Based on its discussions with management and the registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the registered public accounting firm, including as set forth above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Respectfully Submitted,

Kimberly Sentovich, Committee Chair

Michael Parris

Kevin Sherman

The information contained above under the caption “Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors” shall not be deemed to be soliciting material or to be filed with the SEC, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into such filing.

Vote Required

Ratification of the selection of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting securities present, either in attendance virtually or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and entitled to vote on the matter. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of this proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. A broker or other nominee will generally have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal because it is considered a routine matter, and therefore we do not expect broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. However, any broker non-votes received will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy or unless authority to vote is withheld, shares represented by executed proxies will be voted “FOR” the ratification of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A. as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company is obligated to pay royalties and development and patent costs pursuant to an exclusive Amended and Restated Intellectual Property License Agreement dated September 30, 2016 with Syzygy, a company owned and controlled by a stockholder of the Company, Mr. Elwood Norris, and an officer of the Company, Mr. James Barnes. The agreement provides for royalty payments of 4% of revenue from products employing the licensed ensnarement device technology up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 in royalties or until September 30, 2026, whichever occurs earlier. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company incurred royalties to Syzygy of $278,497 and $143,390, respectively.

Commencing in October 2017, the Company began reimbursing Mr. Elwood Norris, a stockholder of the Company, $1,500 per month on a month-to-month basis for laboratory facility costs, for an aggregate of $18,000 during each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

For a director to be considered “independent,” the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with the Company (directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). In each case, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. Our Board has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Parris, Sherman, Walker and Ms. Sentovich are independent directors.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. The periodic reports and other information we have filed with the SEC, may be inspected and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington DC 20549. You may obtain information as to the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a Web site that contains reports, proxy statements and other information about issuers, like the Company, who file electronically with the SEC. The address of that site is www.sec.gov. Copies of these documents may also be obtained by writing our secretary at the address specified above. 

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholder proposals to be included in our next proxy statement must be received by us at our executive offices no later than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. A stockholder proposal not included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be ineligible for presentation at the meeting unless the stockholder gives timely notice of the proposal in writing to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the executive offices of the Company. To be timely, the Company must have received the stockholder’s notice not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the date the proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. However, if the date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this year’s Annual Meeting, the Company must receive the stockholder’s notice no later than the close of business on (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the seventh day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. 

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

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

-29-

A number of brokers with account holders who are stockholders of the Company will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single set of the Company’s proxy materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of the Company’s proxy materials, please notify your broker or direct a written request to the Company at 1817 W 4th Street, Tempe, Arizona 85281, or contact us at (800) 583-2652. The Company undertakes to deliver promptly, upon any such oral or written request, a separate copy of its proxy materials to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Company’s proxy materials at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker, bank or other nominee, or contact the Company at the above address or phone number.

OTHER MATTERS

At the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company knows of no other matters, other than those described above, that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. If any other business should come before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the proxy holders will vote all proxies using their best judgment in the interest of the Company and the stockholders.

The Notice, which we intend to mail to stockholders on or about May 13, 2022, will contain instructions on how to access the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The Annual Report, which includes audited financial statements, does not form any part of the material for the solicitation of proxies.

The Board invites you to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, please submit your vote by Internet, telephone or e-mail as promptly as possible so that your shares will be represented at the Annual Meeting.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING VIRTUALLY, PLEASE READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND THEN VOTE BY INTERNET, TELEPHONE OR MAIL AS PROMPTLY AS POSSIBLE.  VOTING PROMPTLY WILL SAVE US ADDITIONAL EXPENSE IN SOLICITING PROXIES AND WILL ENSURE THAT YOUR SHARES ARE REPRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

/s/ Wayne Walker

Wayne Walker

Chairman of the Board
