The full text of the letter follows:
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
With our annual meeting just a few days away, I want to remind shareholders to vote “For” the annual meeting proxy proposals in connection with the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, to be held on August 25, 2022. Each proposal is designed specifically to enable the Company to improve the operations of the business, with the vision, leadership, financial resources, and award-winning development capabilities and deliver on its promise of protecting the personal experience of living life to the fullest by building technology to connect, manage, and monitor a loved one’s health and safety. LogicMark has taken considerable steps to improve its operations and strategic offerings, and the Company seeks to continue with this progress.
The Board of Directors and LogicMark Management urge shareholders to vote “For” all proposals contained in the Annual Meeting Proxy as each proposal is vital for LogicMark’s continued progress, building on recent successes in accomplishing the Company’s ambitious goals and objectives. A vote “for” each proposal supports Management’s continued execution built upon its recent successes with the addition of new leadership at both the Senior Management and Board of Director levels; eliminating its debt; implementing strong governance policies and operational controls; improving the Company’s financial condition; expanding its intellectual property portfolio around Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for pattern recognition and fall detection; and our new direct-to-consumer sales channel, driven by our redesigned website and e-commerce platform, which will broadly deliver our solutions to more people, including families and caregivers, that we believe will drive sustainable growth and margin expansion in the years to come.
Vote “For” for Proposal No. 1: To elect five (5) members of the Company’s board of directors. The members of the Board of Directors each has the expertise and experience the company believes necessary to support the company’s continued transformation into a technology company focused on building solutions for the new care economy. Over the last year, the Company has added three new Board members who bring their broad experience in technology, strategic marketing, rapid growth, and the care economy.
Vote “For” Proposal No. 2: To consider and vote on a proposal to ratify the Board’s selection of BPM LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Management considers the selection of BPM LLP to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. After evaluating six potential audit firms, the Company believes that BPM is the best choice for LogicMark, both from a service and cost level.
Vote “For” for Proposal No 3: To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Company’s 2022 Stock Incentive Plan. The Company believes that the 2022 Plan will allow it to continue to attract able directors, employees, consultants, and independent contractors and enable them to acquire and maintain Common Stock ownership in LogicMark. Concurrent with the adoption of this new Plan, the Company’s two existing stock incentive plans will be terminated where the Company intends for potential dilution to shareholders to be reduced from 20% to 15% as a result.
2
Vote “For” Proposal No. 4: To consider and vote on the reincorporation of the Company from the State of Delaware to the State of Nevada pursuant to a merger with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. LogicMark expects that its reincorporation to Nevada will measurably reduce its operating costs and will also give it a greater measure of flexibility and simplicity in corporate governance than is available under Delaware law.
If you have previously voted against any of the proposals and wish to change your vote, we encourage you to vote online or by telephone using the control number imprinted on the voting instruction form. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call our proxy solicitor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, at 888-742-1305.
As a reminder, in its August 2022 report, independent proxy advisory Glass Lewis endorsed the proposals recommending LogicMark shareholders elect the Company’s directors, ratify the Company’s selection of BPM as auditor and approve the Company’s reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada. In addition, independent proxy advisory firm ISS endorsed the Company’s proxy proposals recommending that LogicMark shareholders ratify the Company’s selection of BPM as auditor, approve the reincorporation from Delaware to Nevada and recommended a vote “For” 4 out of 5 of the Company’s directors.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I wish to thank our shareholders for your continued support in transforming LogicMark and look forward to 2022 and beyond as a highly transformative and rewarding period for LogicMark.

Below is a transcript of the Video substantially in the form below:
To my fellow shareholders of LogicMark, Inc.
Hi, I’m Mark Archer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
I’ve been with LogicMark now for a little over a year and during that time, I have been incredibly impressed with our talented team members and the commitment they have to our customers.
I’ve been equally impressed with our products. LogicMark revolutionized the PERS industry by incorporating two way voice communication directly into the medical alert pendant and at a price point everyday consumers can afford.
Over these last 12 months, the CEO and I have architected a major transformation of the Company, building a pipeline of new products, launching our direct-to-consumer eCommerce site, and both increasing revenues and improving the operations of the Company.
Next Thursday, on August 25th, we’re holding our annual shareholder meeting. Prior to the 25th, it’s very important that you vote the proxy you received in the mail last month.
There are four proposals up for your consideration.
The first is to reappoint our slate of directors, of which four of five are independent. These directors bring with them experience in the technology industry and expertise to growing companies.
The second is to approve the appointment of BPM LLP, as our auditor.
The third is to adopt the Company’s new 2022 Stock Incentive Plan; after the Plan is adopted, our two existing plans will be terminated, thus lowering the potential dilution for shareholders.
And lastly, we propose to reincorporate the Company in the State of Nevada, which will result in substantial cost savings.
Our board recommends you vote “yes” on all proposals.
Your vote FOR the proposals in the proxy statement will help save the Company money, reduce the dilution to our stock, and keep our very experienced Board in place.
I think we have a great business opportunity here and I am looking forward to LogicMark’s growth and continued success.
The record date for the annual meeting was June 28th., so even if you sold your shares since that date, you still have the right to vote.
If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares please call our proxy solicitor, Laurel Hill Advisory Group, at 1-888-742-1305.
Thanks for being a LogicMark shareholder.
