QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

The following are some questions that you, as a shareholder of the Company, may have about the Meeting, the proposals being considered at the Meeting, as applicable, and brief answers to those questions. These questions and answers may not address all questions that may be important to you as a shareholder of the Company. We encourage you to read carefully the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this proxy statement.

Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the virtual meeting during the check-in or meeting time, please call the technical support number that will be posted on the Virtual Shareholder Meeting log in page.

If you do not have your control number, you will be able to listen to the meeting only — you will not be able to vote or submit questions.

Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

Only shareholders who our records show owned shares of our common stock as of the close of business on September 20, 2022, which is the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”), may vote at the Meeting. You will have one vote for each share of the Company’s common stock that you owned as of the Record Date. On the Record Date, we had 107,478,480 shares issued, and 107,347,318 shares outstanding due to the existence of treasury stock.

How are votes counted?

Each share of our common stock entitles its holder to one vote per share.

Table of Contents

What am I being asked to vote on?

You will be voting on the following proposals.

•

A proposal to elect four directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

•

A proposal to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

•

A proposal, that is non-binding and advisory, to approve the compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers.

How does the Company’s Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the Proxy Statement?

Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director and “FOR” each of the other proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual meeting of Shareholders and the Proxy Statement.

Do I have dissenters’ rights if I vote against the proposals?

There are no dissenters’ rights available to the Company’s shareholders with respect to any matter to be voted on at the Meeting.

What do I need to do now?

We encourage you to read this entire proxy statement, and the documents we refer to in this proxy statement. Then complete, sign, date and return, as promptly as possible, the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying reply envelope or grant your proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone, so that your shares can be voted at the Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” please refer to the voting instruction forms provided by your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares.

What quorum is required for the Meeting?

A quorum will exist at the Meeting if the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat are represented in person or represented by proxy. Shares of the Company’s common stock that are voted to abstain are treated as shares that are represented at the Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Who will tabulate the votes?

The Company has designated a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions as the Inspector of Election who will tabulate the votes.

What vote is required in order for the proposals to be approved?

The following table sets forth the required vote for each proposal:

	Proposal	Required Vote	Page Number (for more details)
1.	Election of 4 directors.	Majority of the votes cast	8
2.	Ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.	Majority of the votes cast	9
3.	Non-binding and advisory approval of the compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers.	Majority of the votes cast	19

What are broker non-votes?

A: Broker non-votes are shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and have not received voting instructions from their clients. Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on “non-routine” matters, unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. The proposed ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers are entitled to vote uninstructed shares only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Table of Contents

How do I vote my shares if I am a record holder?

If you are a record holder of shares (that is, the shares are registered with our transfer agent in your name and not the name of your broker or other nominee), you are urged to submit your proxy as soon as possible, so that your shares can be voted at the meeting in accordance with your instructions. Registered shareholders may vote in person at the Meeting, or by sending a personal representative to the Meeting with an appropriate proxy, or by one of the following methods:

•

By Internet. www.proxyvote.com;

•

By Telephone. 1-800-690-6903;

•

By Mail. If you received our proxy materials in the mail, you can complete, sign and date the included proxy card and return the proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided.

Please note that the Internet and telephone voting facilities for registered shareholders will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day before the meeting date. For more information, please see “The Meeting — How to Vote Your Shares” below.

How do I vote my shares if I hold my shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee?

If you hold your shares as a beneficial owner through a bank, broker or other nominee, you should have received instructions on how to vote your shares from your broker, bank or other nominee. Please follow their instructions carefully. You must provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like at the Meeting.

If my bank, broker or other nominee holds my shares in “street name,” will such party vote my shares for me?

For all “non-routine” matters, not without your direction, your broker, bank or other nominee will be permitted to vote your shares on any “non-routine” proposal only if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote. Under applicable stock exchange rules, brokers, banks or other nominees have the discretion to vote your shares on routine matters if you fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares with respect to such matters. The proposals to be voted upon by our shareholders described in this proxy statement, except for the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, are “non-routine” matters, and brokers, banks and other nominees therefore cannot vote on these proposals without your instructions. The proposed ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 is considered a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers, banks and other nominees are entitled to vote uninstructed shares only with respect to the ratification of the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore, it is important that you instruct your broker, bank or nominee on how you wish to vote your shares.

You should follow the procedures provided by your broker, bank or other nominee regarding the voting of your shares of the Company’s common stock. Without instructions, a broker non-vote will result, and your shares will not be voted, on all “non-routine” matters.

Table of Contents

What is a proxy?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person, referred to as a “proxy,” to vote shares of stock. The written document describing the matters to be considered and voted on at the Meeting is called a “proxy statement.” Our Board of Directors has designated Michael Mo, our Chief Executive Officer and Keith Cochran, our President and Chief Operating Officer, and each of them, with full power of substitution, as proxies for the Meeting.

If a shareholder gives a proxy, how are the shares voted?

When proxies are properly dated, executed and returned, the shares represented by such proxies will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder. If no specific instructions are given on properly-executed returned proxies, however, the shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors as described above. If any matters not described in this proxy statement are properly presented at the Meeting, the proxy holders will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares.

What happens if I do not vote or return a proxy?

A: A quorum will exist at the Meeting if the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat are represented in person or represented by proxy. Your failure to vote on the proposals, by failing to either submit a proxy or attend the Meeting if you are a shareholder of record, may result in the failure of a quorum to exist at the Meeting.

What happens if I abstain?

If you abstain, whether by proxy or in person at the Meeting, or if you instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to abstain your abstention will not be counted for or against the proposals, but will be counted as “present” at the Meeting in determining whether or not a quorum exists.

Can I revoke my proxy or change my vote?

You may change your vote at any time prior to the vote at the Meeting. To revoke your proxy instructions and change your vote if you are a holder of record, you must (i) vote again on a later date on the Internet or by telephone (only your latest Internet or telephone proxy submitted prior to the Meeting will be counted), (ii) advise our Secretary at our principal executive offices (4863 Shawline Street, San Diego, CA 92111) in writing before the proxy holders vote your shares, or (iii) deliver later dated and signed proxy instructions (which must be received prior to the Meeting). If you hold shares in “street name,” you should refer to the instructions you received from your broker, bank or other nominee. Attendance in and of itself at the Meeting will not revoke a proxy. For shares you hold beneficially but not of record, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee or, if you have obtained a valid proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, date, sign and return (or vote via the Internet or telephone with respect to) each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive to ensure that all of your shares are counted.

What is “householding”?

We have adopted a procedure approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) called “householding” for shareholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials. In some instances, only one copy of the proxy materials is being delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address, unless we have received instructions from one or more of the shareholders to continue to deliver multiple copies. This procedure reduces our printing costs and postage fees.

Table of Contents

We will deliver promptly, upon oral or written request, a separate copy of the applicable materials to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy was delivered. If you wish to receive a separate copy of the proxy materials you may call us at (408) 663-5247, or send a written request to KULR Technology Group, Inc., 4863 Shawline Street, San Diego, CA 92111, Attention: Secretary. If you have received only one copy of the proxy materials, and wish to receive a separate copy for each shareholder in the future, you may call us at the telephone number or write us at the address listed above. Alternatively, shareholders sharing an address who now receive multiple copies of the proxy materials may request delivery of a single copy, also by calling us at the telephone number or writing to us at the address listed above.

Where can I find the voting results of the Meeting?

The Company intends to announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the SEC following the Meeting. All reports the Company files with the SEC are publicly available when filed.

What if I have questions about lost stock certificates or need to change my mailing address?

You may contact our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC at (212) 828-8436, or by email at info@vstocktransfer.com, if you have lost your stock certificate. You may email VStock Transfer, LLC at info@vstocktransfer.com if you need to change your mailing address

Who can help answer my additional questions about the proposals or the other matters discussed in this proxy statement?

If you have questions about the proposals or other matters discussed in this proxy statement, you may contact the Company by mail at KULR Technology Group, Inc. 4863 Shawline Street, San Diego, CA 92111, Attention: Secretary.

THE MEETING

We are furnishing this proxy statement to our shareholders as part of the solicitation of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at the Meeting of shareholders to be held on November 17, 2022, or continuation thereof. We began distributing this Proxy Statement, Annual Meeting notice and proxy card, or a notice of internet availability of proxy materials on or about October 6, 2022.

Date, Time and Place

The Meeting of the Company’s shareholders will be held via live webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/KULR2022 on November 17, 2022, starting at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time.

Matters to be Considered

The purpose of the Meeting is for shareholders of the Company to consider and vote on the following proposals.

Proposal No. 1 The Election of Directors		To elect four directors to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Proposal No. 2 Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm		To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Proposal No. 3 Approval of Executive Officer Compensation		To approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers.

Record Date; Shares Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

The close of business on September 20, 2022, has been fixed as the Record Date for determining those Company shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. As of the close of business on the Record Date for the Meeting, there were 107,478,480 shares issued, and 107,347,318 shares outstanding due to the existence of treasury stock, held by 119 holders of record. Each share of the Company’s common stock entitles its holder to one vote at the Meeting on all matters properly presented at the Meeting.

Quorum

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will exist at the Meeting if the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereat are represented in person or represented by proxy. Shares of the Company’s common stock that are voted to abstain are treated as shares that are represented at the Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Broker non-votes do not count for voting purposes, but are considered “present” at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.

Vote Required

Directors shall be elected by the vote of a majority of the shares represented whether in person or by proxy.

Ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm and approval of the Say-on-Pay Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, whether in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. An abstention will not be counted for or against the proposals, and therefore will not affect the vote outcome. Failure of record holders to submit a signed proxy card, grant a proxy electronically over the Internet or by telephone will have no effect on the outcome of the votes for such items, although such failure may contribute to a quorum not being present at such meeting. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the votes for all proposals except for the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, for which we do not expect any broker non-votes.

Recommendations of our Board of Directors

The Board of Directors also recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of each of the nominees for director “FOR” the proposals set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the Proxy Statement.

Common Stock Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers

As of the Record Date, our directors and executive officers held an aggregate of approximately 36.4% of the shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Table of Contents

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Proposal

The Board of Directors has appointed Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2022 and has further directed that the selection of Marcum LLP be submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders at the Meeting for ratification.

As described below, the shareholder vote is not binding on the Board of Directors. If the appointment of Marcum LLP is not ratified, the Board of Directors will evaluate the basis for the shareholders’ vote when determining whether to continue the firm’s engagement, but may ultimately determine to continue the engagement of the firm or another audit firm without re-submitting the matter to shareholders. Even if the appointment of Marcum LLP is ratified, the Board of Directors may in its sole discretion terminate the engagement of the firm and direct the appointment of another independent auditor at any time during the year if it determines that such an appointment would be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

Representatives of Marcum LLP are not expected to attend the Meeting.

Fees

The aggregate fees billed to us by our principal independent public accountant for services rendered for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, are set forth in the table below:

	For the Fiscal Year Ended
	December 31,
	2021		2020
Audit Fees	$	170,980	$	156,936
Tax Fees		8,085		6,825
Total	$	179,065	$	163,761

Fee Category

Audit Fees

Audit fees consist of fees billed for services rendered by our independent auditors during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 for the audit and review of our financial statements.

Tax Fees

Tax fees consist of fees billed for services rendered by our tax preparers (a provider other than our independent auditors) during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 in connection with the preparation and filing of our income tax returns.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, among other things, is responsible for:

•

Appointing, approving the compensation of, overseeing the work of, and assessing the independence, qualifications, and performance of the independent auditor;

•

reviewing the internal audit function, including its independence, plans, and budget;

•

approving, in advance, audit and any permissible non-audit services performed by our independent auditor;

•

reviewing our internal controls with the independent auditor, the internal auditor, and management;

•

reviewing the adequacy of our accounting and financial controls as reported by the independent auditor, the internal auditor, and management; and

Table of Contents

•

overseeing our major risk exposures regarding the Company’s accounting and financial reporting policies, and the activities of our internal audit function.

The Board has affirmatively determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the additional independence criteria applicable to audit committee members under SEC rules and the NYSE American Stock Market. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter setting forth the authority and responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The Board has affirmatively determined that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate. Morio Kurosaki meets the qualifications of an Audit Committee financial expert. The Audit Committee consists of Morio Kurosaki and Joanna D. Massey. Morio Kurosaki is the chairman of the Audit Committee.

Based on the review and the discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee also considered whether the non-audit services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm are compatible with an auditor maintaining independence. The Audit Committee has determined that the rendering of such services is compatible with Marcum LLP maintaining its independence.

Required Shareholder Vote and Recommendation of Our Board of Directors

Approval of our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting, whether in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. An abstention will not be counted for or against the proposal, and therefore will not affect the vote outcome.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” THIS PROPOSAL NO. 2.

Table of Contents

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which were audited by Marcum LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors discussed with Marcum LLP the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) Auditing Standard 1301 (Communication with Audit Committee). The Board of Directors received the written disclosures and letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Board of Directors concerning independence, and discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The Board of Directors also considered whether the provision of services other than the audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 were compatible with maintaining Marcum LLP’s independence. Based on these reviews and discussions, the audit committee recommended to the company's board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the company's annual report on Form 10-K.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board leadership structure consists of a Chairman of the Board of Directors who is also our CEO. Each year, our Board of Directors assesses these roles and the board leadership structure to ensure the interests of KULR and its shareholders are best served. Mr. Mo holds the Chairman and CEO position at KULR. We do not have an express policy on whether the roles of Chair of the Board and CEO should be combined or separated. Instead, the Board prefers to maintain the flexibility to determine which leadership structure best serves the interests of KULR and our shareholders based on the evolving needs of the company. Although we have a combined Chair of the Board and CEO leadership structure, we are currently evaluating the benefits of adding a Lead Independent Director position to complement the Chair of the Board’s role and to serve as the principal liaison between the nonemployee directors and the CEO.

A number of factors support the leadership structure chosen by the Board, including, among others:

Mr. Mo has extensive knowledge of all aspects of KULR and its business and risks, its industry and its customers.

Mr. Mo is intimately involved in the day-to-day operations of KULR and is best positioned to elevate the most critical business issues for consideration by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors believes having Mr. Mo serve in both capacities allows him to more effectively execute KULR’s strategic initiatives and business plans and confront its challenges.

A combined Chairman and CEO structure provides KULR with decisive and effective leadership with clearer accountability to our shareholders and customers.

This structure allows one person to speak for and lead the company and the Board.

Board Committees

Our Board of Directors has established three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating and corporate governance committee and a compensation committee, which are described below.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 - ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires the Company’s shareholders to have the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote regarding the approval of the compensation disclosed in this Proxy Statement of the Company’s Named Executive Officers included in the summary compensation table and related disclosures. As discussed in the “Executive Compensation” section herein, the Company has disclosed the compensation of the Named Executive Officers pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC.

We believe that our compensation policies for the Named Executive Officers are designed to attract, motivate and retain talented executive officers and are aligned with the long-term interests of the Company’s shareholders. This advisory shareholder vote, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay vote,” gives you as a shareholder the opportunity to approve or not approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers that is disclosed in this Proxy Statement by voting for or against the following resolution (or by abstaining with respect to the resolution):

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on either the Board of Directors or the Company. However, the Company’s Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the shareholder vote on this proposal at the Annual Meeting when considering future executive compensation arrangements. In addition, your non-binding advisory votes described in this Proposal 3 will not be construed: (1) as overruling any decision by the Board of Directors, any Board committee or the Company relating to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, or (2) as creating or changing any fiduciary duties or other duties on the part of the Board of Directors, any Board committee or the Company.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” THIS, NON-BINDING, ADVISORY PROPOSAL NO. 3.

MANAGEMENT OF KULR TECHNOLOGY GROUP, INC.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock as of September 20, 2022 for:

•

all of the Company’s current directors and executive officers as a group; and

Except as indicated by the footnotes below, the Company believes, based on information furnished to it, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws.

The Company has determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person or persons, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person or persons (and only such person or persons) by reason of these acquisition rights.
