SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
2022
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE
HELD ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 2022
This Proxy
Statement Supplement (the “Supplement”) supplements and amends the
original definitive proxy statement of CreditRiskMomitor.com, Inc.
( the “Company”, “we”, or “our”), dated June 10, 2022 (the “Proxy
Statement”) for the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the “Annual Meeting”) to (i) add a new Proposal 3 to the Proxy
Statement that provides for a non-binding, advisory vote of Company
stockholders on the compensation paid to our named executive
officers as described in the Proxy Statement (also referred to as
“Say-on-Pay” or “Proposal 3”), (ii) update the Notice of Annual
Meeting to add the new Proposal 3 (the “Updated Notice”), and (iii)
make additional changes to the Proxy Statement resulting from the
addition of new Proposal 3. As previously disclosed in the Proxy
Statement, the Annual Meeting will be held on July 13, 2022 at 9:00
a.m., local time, or any adjournment thereof, at 704 Executive
Boulevard, Suite A, Valley Cottage, New York 10989.
This
Supplement relates to the new Proposal 3 to be considered by
stockholders at the Annual Meeting and does not provide all of the
information that is important to your decisions with respect to
voting on all of the proposals that are being presented to
stockholders for their vote at the Annual Meeting. Additional
information is contained in the Proxy Statement. To the extent that
the information in this Supplement differs from, updates or
conflicts with the information contained in the Proxy Statement,
the information in this Supplement shall amend and supersede the
information in the Proxy Statement. Except as so amended or
superseded, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement
remains unchanged and important for you to review. Accordingly, we
urge you to read this Supplement carefully and in its entirety
together with the Proxy Statement. If you would like to receive
another copy of the Proxy Statement, please contact the Company
with a written request to: 704 Executive Boulevard, Suite A, Valley
Cottage, New York 10989, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
This
Supplement relates to the solicitation of proxies by our Board of
Directors (the “Board”) for use at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy
Statement Supplement, the Updated Notice of Annual Meeting attached
hereto as Appendix A and a revised proxy card (the “Revised Proxy
Card”) are being made available on or about June 23, 2022 to all
stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
We urge
stockholders of record to vote on proposals 1 through 3 by
submitting a Revised Proxy Card. If you return an executed Revised
Proxy Card without marking your instructions with regard to the
matters to be acted upon, the proxy holders will vote “FOR” the
election of director nominees set forth in the Proxy Statement, and
“FOR” the approval of Proposals 2 and 3. Those voting by internet or by
telephone may also revoke their proxy by voting in person at the
meeting or by voting and submitting their proxy at a later time by
internet or by telephone.
If you
have already voted and do not submit a Revised Proxy Card, your
previously submitted proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting with
respect to Proposals 1 and 2 but will not be counted in determining
the outcome of Proposal 3.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU SUBMIT A REVISED PROXY CARD IT WILL REVOKE
ALL PROXY
CARDS
PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED, SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO INDICATE YOUR
VOTE
ON
EACH PROPOSAL ON THE REVISED PROXY CARD.
PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED UPON BY STOCKHOLDERS
Information contained in this Supplement relates to Proposal 3 that
will be presented to stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
Information regarding Proposals 1 and 2 that will be presented to
stockholders at the Annual Meeting can be found in the Proxy
Statement as originally filed with the SEC on June 15, 2022.
Please note that we strongly encourage you to read this Supplement
and to vote on Proposal 3.
Vote
Required; Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes.
A majority of
votes cast will be used to determine the results of the non-binding
advisory vote on Proposal 3. Brokers cannot vote on their
customers’ behalf on “non-routine” proposals such as Proposal 3.
Because brokers require their customers’ direction to vote on such
non-routine matters, it is critical that stockholders provide their
brokers with voting instructions. If you hold your shares in street
name and do not provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or
other custodian, your shares will not be voted on Proposal 1 or
Proposal 3 (a “broker non-vote”). A broker non-vote on any of the
proposals presented at the Annual Meeting will have no effect on
the outcome of the proposal. Because a majority of votes cast will
be used to determine the results of the non-binding advisory vote,
abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on
Proposal 3. These abstentions, however, are counted towards
establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting.
Revocation of Proxies/Voting of Shares.
Any
stockholder giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before the
votes are counted at the Annual Meeting by (i) submission of a
later dated proxy, (ii) providing a written notice of revocation to
the Company’s Corporate Secretary at CreditRiskMonitor.com, Inc., 704 Executive
Boulevard, Suite A, Valley Cottage, New York 10989, prior to
your shares being voted, or (iii) attending the Annual Meeting and
voting in person. Unless so revoked, the shares represented by such
proxies or voting instructions will be voted at the Annual Meeting
and all adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.
Proxies solicited on behalf of the Board will be voted in
accordance with the directions given.
PROPOSAL 3 — ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank
Act, requires us to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of
our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement
in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC. As described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement,
we try to design our named executive officer compensation programs
to attract, motivate and retain the key executives who will drive
the creation of stockholder value.
Please read
the “Executive Compensation” section of the Proxy Statement,
beginning on page 3. That section of the proxy statement, which
includes our named executive officer compensation tables and
related narrative discussion, provides details on our compensation
programs and policies for our named executive officers. We
believe
that the Company’s compensation policies and procedures do not
create undue risk nor are they excessive in an amount or
nature.
We are
requesting stockholder approval of the compensation of our
executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. This
proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our
stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our
executive officers’ compensation. The vote is not intended to
address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall
compensation of our executive officers and the philosophy, policies
and practices described in this Proxy Statement.
We are asking
our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive
officer compensation through the following resolution:
“RESOLVED, that the stockholders
approve the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive
officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K,
including the compensation tables and narrative discussion in the
Company’s proxy statement for its 2022 annual meeting.”
As provided in
the Securities Exchange Act, the vote is not binding on the Board
and may not be construed as overruling a decision by the Board, nor
creating or implying any additional fiduciary duty by the Board,
nor be construed to restrict or limit the ability of stockholders
to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to
executive compensation.
The
affirmative vote, in person or by proxy, of the majority of the
votes cast by the holders of the Company’s common stock at the
Annual Meeting is required for approval of executive compensation.
However, this advisory vote is not binding on us, our board of
directors, or management. Abstentions will not be voted,
although they will be counted as present and entitled to vote for
purposes of the Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will
have the effect of a vote against this Proposal. Broker
non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this
Proposal.
The
Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the
compensation of our named executive officers as described in the
Proxy Statement.
IF
YOU HAVE ALREADY VOTED, YOUR VOTES WILL BE COUNTED WITH RESPECT TO
THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS IN PROPOSAL 1 AND PROPOSAL 2. HOWEVER, WE
URGE YOU TO CAST YOUR VOTE ON ALL THREE PROPOSALS USING THE REVISED
PROXY CARD EVEN IF YOU HAVE PREVIOUSLY CAST YOUR VOTE ON PROPOSALS
1 AND 2 AS DESCRIBED IN OUR PROXY STATEMENT DATED JUNE 10,
2022.
