OXFORD, Conn., Oct. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) (the “Company” or “NXT-ID”), a provider of technology products and services for healthcare applications, today shared a letter to NXT-ID shareholders from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chia-Lin Simmons. The letter reminds shareholders to vote today “FOR” each of the reverse stock split proposals relating to NXT-ID’s common stock and Series C preferred stock, so that it can remain listed on Nasdaq.

 

 

“The reverse stock split process can be complex and difficult to understand, so we are answering several top-of-mind questions to help explain how the process works, and why these proposals are urgent and important,” said Ms. Simmons. “I encourage all of our shareholders to review our dedicated microsite intended to help educate and inform shareholders and urge all of you to vote FOR both proposals today.”

 

Ms. Simmons also shared a video message addressing several important shareholder questions. You can view this video on the Company’s microsite: www.voteFORnxt-id.com.

 

Shareholders are encouraged to review the attached letter and video message from Ms. Simmons, which can also be found on the Company’s microsite, www.voteFORnxt-id.com, and in the definitive additional materials relating to the Special Meeting recently filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Registered Holders

 

If your shares are registered directly in your name with NXT-ID’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered the “stockholder of record” of those shares and the proxy statement for the Special Meeting is being sent directly to you by NXT-ID. Shareholders of record (that is, shareholders who hold their shares in their own name) can vote by mail, online, email, fax or in person at the Special Meeting by following the instructions provided on the proxy card.

 

 

If you choose to submit your proxy by mail, simply mark, date and sign your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Your internet proxy must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on October 14, 2021 to be counted.

 

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name

 

If your shares are held in “street name” (that is, in the name of a bank or broker or other holder of record), you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow in order for your shares to be voted. Internet voting will also be offered to shareholders owning shares through most banks and brokers. If your shares are held with a brokerage firm or custodial bank, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name, and the proxy statement for the Special Meeting was mailed or emailed to you by your broker, bank or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record of those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account.
