PROXY STATEMENT
for
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
to be Held May 24, 2022

The enclosed proxy (the “Proxy”) is being solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Intrusion Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting”) to be held at 101 East Park Blvd, Plano, Texas 75074, at 9:00 A.M., Local Time, on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, or at such other time and place to which the Meeting may be adjourned. Proxies, together with copies of this Proxy Statement and a copy of the Company’s Annual Report for 2021, are being mailed on or about April [•], 2022 to stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Execution and return of the enclosed Proxy will not affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Meeting and to vote in person. Any stockholder executing a Proxy retains the right to revoke such proxy at any time prior to exercise at the Meeting. A Proxy may be revoked by delivery of written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company, by execution and delivery of a later Proxy or by voting the shares in person at the Meeting. If you attend the Meeting and vote in person by ballot, your proxy will be revoked automatically and only your vote at the Meeting will be counted. A Proxy, when executed and not revoked, will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. In the absence of specific instructions, Proxies will be voted by those named in the Proxy “FOR” the election as directors of those nominees named in the Proxy Statement, “FOR” the approval of each of the other proposals described in this Proxy Statement, for “THREE YEARS” with respect to how frequently a non-binding shareholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers should occur, and in accordance with their best judgment on all other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.

The enclosed form of Proxy provides a method for stockholders to withhold authority to vote for any one or more of the nominees for director while granting authority to vote for the remaining nominees. The names of all nominees are listed on the Proxy. If you wish to grant authority to vote for all nominees, check the box marked “FOR.” If you wish to withhold authority to vote for all nominees, check the box marked “WITHHOLD.” If you wish your shares to be voted for some nominees and not for one or more of the others, check the box marked “FOR” and indicate the name(s) of the nominee(s) for whom you are withholding the authority to vote by writing the name(s) of such nominee(s) on the Proxy in the space provided.

RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on March 28, 2022, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. The stock transfer books of the Company will remain open between the record date and the date of the Meeting. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be available for inspection at the executive offices of the Company. On the record date, the Company had 19,314,539 outstanding shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”) held of record by 86 holders.

QUORUM AND VOTING

The presence at the Meeting, in person or by Proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding is necessary to constitute a quorum. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held on each matter to be voted on at the Meeting including the election of directors. All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulations of votes cast on matters presented at the Meeting and will have the same effect as negative votes (other than the election of directors) whereas broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a matter has been approved.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

Assuming the presence of a quorum, the following paragraphs describe the vote required by the stockholders of record to approve each of the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.

	•	Proposal One. The six nominees receiving the greatest number of votes of the shares of Common Stock outstanding present in person or represented by Proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote shall be deemed elected even if they receive the affirmative vote of less than a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding entitled to be voted at the Meeting.
	•	Proposal Two. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding present in person or represented by Proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required for the ratification of the appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as independent auditors.
	•	Proposal Three. The advisory vote on executive compensation will be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. The advisory vote on executive compensation is a non-binding advisory vote; however, the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors intend to consider the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. Abstentions will be considered shares entitled to vote in the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are not counted for the purpose of determining whether a matter has been approved.
	•	Proposal Four. The advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation will be decided by the alternative receiving the highest number of shares of Common Stock outstanding present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Because the advisory vote on the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation is a non-binding advisory vote, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of the stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by the stockholders.
	•	Proposal Five. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding present in person or represented by Proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote is required for approval of the potential issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock in connection with the optional redemption feature under the promissory notes issued, or to be issued, under a securities purchase agreement the Company entered into on March 10, 2022. Broker non-votes are not counted for the purpose of determining whether a matter has been approved.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” each of proposals ONE, TWO and THREE and FIVE and that for proposal FOUR the stockholders vote “THREE YEARS” with respect to how frequently a non-binding shareholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers should occur as set forth in this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL ONE
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board for the ensuing year will consist of six directors who are each to be elected at the Meeting for a term of office expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. It is intended that the persons named in the following table will be nominated as directors of the Company and that the persons named in the accompanying Proxy, unless otherwise directed, will vote for the election of such nominees at the Meeting. Each of the nominees has indicated their willingness to serve as a member of the Board of Directors, if elected. However, in the event any nominee shall become unavailable for election to the Board for any reason not presently known or contemplated, the Proxy holders will be vested with discretionary authority in such instance to vote the enclosed Proxy for such substitute as the Board shall designate.

In that role, he had oversight, budget and management responsibilities for the more than $85 billion budget that the Federal Government annually spends on IT.

Board Role in Risk Oversight and Management

The Board has an active role in the oversight and management of the Company’s risks and carries out its role directly and through Board committees. The Board’s direct role in the Company’s risk management process includes regular or periodic receipt and discussion of reports from management and the Company’s outside counsel and advisers on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, strategic, financial, legal, and regulatory risks.

While overall enterprise-wide risk management is ultimately the responsibility of the Board, the Audit Committee is delegated with the authority to oversee the identifying, assessing, and monitoring of such risks, delegating authority for discrete risk management oversight to the appropriate committees of the Board or to a Risk Oversight sub-committee of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee shall report regularly to the Board at-large on its activities in risk oversight, pass along reports from any Committees or sub-committees with oversight authority, and make recommendations for any changes, modifications, improvements, or expansions of the Company’s risk assessment and management policies and procedures.

The Board has also addressed risk through the adoption of corporate policies. The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics designed to ensure that directors, officers, and employees of the Company are aware of their legal and ethical responsibilities and conduct the Company’s business in a consistently legal and ethical manner.

The Company has not adopted any practices or policies regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or Directors, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our common stock either granted to the employee or director by the Company as part of the compensation of the employee or director; or held, directly or indirectly, by the employee or director.

Committees

The Board has established Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees to devote attention to specific subjects and to assist it in the discharge of its responsibilities. The functions of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee are described below.

The Compensation Committee is authorized, among other powers, to determine from time to time the individuals to whom awards shall be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each award and the time or times at which awards shall be granted pursuant to the equity incentive plan. The Compensation Committee is governed by a written charter that was approved by the Board on September 14, 2020, as amended on March 11, 2022, and a copy of this charter is included under the “investor relations” section on the Company’s website, www.intrusion.com.

Nominating and Governance Committee.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee has discussed with Whitley Penn LLP, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm to the Company, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under generally accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Whitley Penn LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Whitley Penn LLP’s communications with the Audit committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with Whitley Penn LLP its independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with Whitley Penn LLP the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with Whitley Penn LLP, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee held 6 meetings during fiscal year 2021.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee and the Board have also recommended, subject to stockholder ratification, the selection of Whitley Penn LLP as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering the compensation programs of the executive officers. The Compensation Committee sets performance goals and objectives for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers, evaluates their performance with respect to those goals and sets their compensation based upon the evaluation of their performance. In evaluating executive officer pay, the Compensation Committee may consider recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer with respect to goals and compensation of the other executive officers. The Compensation Committee also periodically reviews director compensation. All decisions with respect to executive and director compensation are approved by the Compensation Committee and recommended to the full Board for ratification.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for administering all of the Company’s equity-based plans. The Compensation Committee also periodically reviews compensation and equity-based plans and makes its recommendations to the board with respect to these areas.

It is the opinion of the Compensation Committee that the executive compensation policies and plans, including, without limitation, the Amended 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, and the 2021 Intrusion Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan provide the necessary total remuneration program to properly align the Company’s performance and the interests of the Company’s stockholders through the use of competitive and equitable executive compensation in a balanced and reasonable manner, for both the short and long-term.

Respectfully submitted,

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

2021 Principal Elements of Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee engaged Longnecker, its independent compensation consultant, to review the overall competitiveness of our executive compensation program, with continued focus on aligning management compensation with performance and Intrusion’s general strategy. Based on this review and the continued evolution of Intrusion’s strategic direction, we made material adjustments to our compensation programs for executive officers in 2021, which are described below.

Element	Purpose
Base Salary:	Provide market competitive level of fixed compensation for the fundamental duties required of the position to attract and retain talent

Annual Cash Incentive Award:	Motivate and reward performance achievement against stated annual Company and individual goals.

Annual Long-Term Equity Incentive Award:	Reward creation of long-term stockholder value and achievements consistent with our long-term business strategies.

Base Salary

The salaries of the executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, are determined annually by the Compensation Committee with reference to the following without specific weighting:

	•	salaries paid to executives with similar responsibilities at companies of a comparable size and sales volume, primarily in the high technology industry;
	•	each officer’s performance; and
	•	the Company’s overall financial results.

The Compensation Committee believes that other companies likely compete with the Company for executive talent and that the Company must offer salaries within a competitive market range to attract and retain talented executives. However, the Compensation Committee manages salaries for the executive group as a whole in a conservative fashion in order to place more emphasis on incentive compensation.

Bonus

To reinforce the attainment of corporate objectives, the Compensation Committee believes that a substantial portion of the potential annual compensation of each executive officer should be in the form of short-term, variable incentive pay. The incentive cash bonus program for executives is established annually by the Compensation Committee based upon the Company’s achievement of sales and/or earnings targets established at the beginning of the fiscal year. The incentive plan for executives requires a threshold level of Company financial performance before any incentives are awarded. Once the threshold objective for sales and/or earnings for a fiscal year is reached, specific formulas are in place to calculate the actual incentive payment for each executive for such year.

At the beginning of fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2019 management incentive plan. Under the terms of the 2019 management incentive plan, the bonus payable to each executive officer was based on sales targets. Intrusion utilized this same plan structure for 2020, and 2021.

Bonuses Awarded

In fiscal year 2021, the Company did not achieve its targeted sales and/or earnings goals and did not reach its threshold level of sales and/or earnings for bonuses. Per the employee incentive plan, the Company did not award full-time, non-commissioned employees a bonus. This included our current executive officers.

Stock Option and Equity Incentive Programs

The goal of the Company’s short and long term equity-based incentive awards is to align the interests of executive officers with the Company’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee determines the value allocated to equity-based incentives according to each executive’s position within the Company, individual performance, contributions to achievement of corporate objectives and related factors, and grants equity awards to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership. In early 2021, the Board approved a new performance-based compensation plan that is benchmarked to its peer group and provides for short- and long-term incentives in the form of cash, stock option grants, restricted stock issuances, and performance stock unit awards when performance meets or exceed expectations.

Equity Awards Granted

The Company grants equity awards to the executive officers and key employees in order to retain their services and increase their performance potential to help attain long-term goals of the Company. However, there has been no set formula for the granting of awards to individual executives or employees. In each of the past three fiscal years, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company has granted stock options to purchase 606,000, 403,000, and 34,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, respectively. Of these amounts, options to purchase 119,350 shares have been granted to three of the Named Executive Officers during the past three years. During fiscal year 2021, no non-employee directors received stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock. During fiscal year 2021, the Company issued 148,837 restricted stock units, of which 69,349 were issued to three of our Named Executive Officers.

Timing of Awards

Equity awards to executive officers and other key employees are typically granted annually in conjunction with the review of the individual’s performance. This review typically takes place in January. Grants to newly hired employees are typically effective on the first Compensation Committee meeting following the employee’s first day of employment, after approval by the committee. The exercise price of all stock options is set at the then current day’s closing price of the Common Stock.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company does not have any standard stock ownership guidelines. However, all executives are encouraged to retain stock options and other shares that they directly own.

Perquisites

The Company limits the perquisites that are made available to executive officers. The Company does not have a pension program for executives or employees.

The perquisites provided by the Company in fiscal year 2022 are as follows. All employees who participated in the Company’s 401(k) plan may receive up to $2,700 in matching funds. All of the Named Executive Officers who participated in the 401(k) plan received matching funds. The health and life insurance plans are the same for all employees. In general, all employees and dependents base health premiums are paid 70% by Intrusion and 30% by the employees. All employees are also provided life insurance up to $50,000. This policy is the same for all employees, including executive officers.

Employment Agreements

Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries has any employment agreements with any of its Named Executive Officers other than an Executive Employment Agreement, dated November 11, 2021 between the Company and Anthony Scott. The material terms of this Employment Agreement are as follows: a $425,000 annual cash salary; a one time restricted stock award equivalent to $75,000 of common stock based on the closing price on November 11, 2021; the ability to earn up to two times his annual salary (in cash or a combination of cash and stock option awards) under the terms of the Company’s existing executive incentive based bonus plan; the ability to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plan; as well as other reasonable and customary benefits provided by the Company. In addition, the Employment Agreement requires that the Board nominate Mr. Scott for election as a director at the Annual Meeting.

Long-term Incentive Plan

In 2022, we intend to grant our NEOs long-term equity-based incentive awards. The Compensation Committee with the assistance from the independent consultant will determine the amount of these awards, as well as the mix of time- and performance-based awards. The Compensation Committee seeks to balance retention (time-based option awards) with performance (goal oriented performance vesting), which tie compensation to long-term Company and shareholder value creation. The 2022 long-term equity-based incentive awards are planned to be in the form of time-based stock options (50% of the total) and performance-based RSUs (50% of the total). Additionally, the number of performance-based RSUs awarded are equally split between Absolute Revenue and Absolute EBITDA. Further, as a way to achieve retention of key executives, we expect that the 2022 stock equity awards will vest in equal annual installments over a three-year period.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Overview of Compensation and Procedures

Similarly to the setting of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews the level of compensation of non-employee Directors on an annual basis. The Company has historically used data from a number of different sources to determine the compensation for non-employee Directors. Some examples of the data used include publicly available data describing director compensation in peer companies and survey data collected by the Company.

We compensate non-employee members of the Board through a mixture of cash and equity-based compensation. Each non-employee Director currently receives an annual cash retainer fee of $30,000. In addition, our Chairman receives an annual fee of $30,000 for his service with each of the members serving as the Audit Committee Chair and Compensation Committee Chair receiving an additional annual fee of $12,500 for their service. Each non-employee Director is also reimbursed for all reasonable expenses incurred in attending such meetings. No Director who is an employee of the Company receives any fees for service as a Director in 2021; however, Jack B. Blount earned compensation for his services to the Company as an employee as set forth in the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Blount did not receive any additional fees for services as a Director, and our current President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Scott, serves on our current Board at no additional compensation.

Under the Automatic Option Grant Program of the 2015 Plan, each non-employee Director had previously been automatically granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock upon joining the Board and an option to purchase 8,000 shares of Common Stock on the date of each annual stockholder meeting as long as the director had served at least three months prior to the date of grant. The Automatic Option Grants were abandoned and none was granted under the 2015 for non-employee directors in 2021 nor is there any intention to grant any such awards in 2022. Our practice since the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is to provide each non-employee director with restricted stock awards of the Company’s Common Stock at the Annual Meeting in an amount equal to $70,000 determined by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the day of such award.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

In nominating and evaluating candidates to determine if they are qualified to become Board members, the Nominating and Governance Committee considers a number of attributes, including:

	·	personal and professional character, integrity, ethics and values, without regard to race, religion, gender or national origin;
	·	general business experience and leadership profile, including experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company, or experience as a board member of another publicly held company;
	·	strategic planning abilities and experience;
	·	aptitude in accounting and finance;
	·	expertise in domestic and international markets;
	·	experience in the network security or telecommunications industry;
	·	understanding of relevant technologies;
	·	academic expertise in an area of the Company’s operations;
	·	communications and interpersonal skills; and
	·	practical and mature business judgment.

The Nominating and Governance Committee also evaluates Board members’ and nominees’ service on the boards of other public companies. These directors also evaluate candidates identified by their personal contacts and other Board members.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will also consider nominees proposed by stockholders. Although the Company has no formal policy regarding stockholder nominees, stockholder nominees are viewed in substantially the same manner as other nominees. The consideration of any candidate for director will be based on the assessment of the individual’s background, skills and abilities, and if such characteristics qualify the individual to fulfill the needs of the Board at that time. To recommend a prospective nominee for consideration, stockholders should timely submit the candidate’s name and qualifications to the Company’s Secretary in writing at 101 East Park Blvd., Suite 1200, Plano, TX 75074. There have been no changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to the Board since the date of the Company’s proxy statement for its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually reviews the requisite skills and characteristics of Board members, as well as the composition of the Board as a whole. This assessment includes a consideration of independence, diversity, skills, experience, and industry backgrounds in the context of the needs of the Board and the Company. Directors are expected to exemplify the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and to constructively challenge management through their active participation and questioning.

Communication with the Board

The Company does not have formal procedures for stockholder communication with the Board. Any matter intended for the Board, or for any individual member or members of the Board, should be directed to the Company’s Secretary at the address of the Company indicated above, with a request to forward the same to the intended recipient. In general, all stockholder communication delivered to the Company’s Secretary for forwarding to the Board or specified Board members will be forwarded in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions, unless the Secretary believes the question or issue may be addressed adequately by the Company’s investor relations department. However, the Secretary reserves the right to not forward to Board members any abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials. The Board believes that more formal procedures are not necessary to permit shareholder’s adequate access to its members.

Policy Regarding Board Attendance at Stockholders Meetings

Although it has no formal policy requiring attendance, the Company encourages all directors to attend all meetings of stockholders. All of the current members of the Board attended the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

All of the Company’s directors and employees are required to abide by the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which the Company adopted on September 14, 2020, as amended on March 16, 2022 (the “Code”) to ensure that the Company’s business is conducted in a consistently legal and ethical manner and to avoid instances of insider trading. The Code cover areas of professional conduct that include conflicts of interest, fair dealing and the strict adherence to all laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of the Company’s business. The full text of the Code is published on the Company’s website at under the investor relations tab at www.intrusion.com. The Company intends to disclose future amendments to, or waivers from, certain provisions of the Codes of Ethics on the Company’s website within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver. Upon the written request of any stockholder, the Company will furnish, without charge, a copy of the Code. This request should be directed to the Company’s Secretary at 101 East Park Blvd., Suite 1200, Plano, TX 75074.

PROPOSAL TWO

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board has appointed Whitley Penn LLP to serve as independent auditors of the Company and to audit its consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2022, subject to ratification by the Company’s stockholders at the Meeting. Whitley Penn LLP has served as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm since July 2009. To the knowledge of management of the Company, neither such firm nor any of its members has any direct or material indirect financial interest in the Company, nor any connection with the Company in any capacity other than as independent auditors.

Although stockholder ratification and approval of this appointment is not required by the Company’s bylaws or otherwise, in keeping with the Company’s policy that its stockholders should be entitled to a voice in this regard and as a matter of good corporate practice, the Board is seeking ratification of this appointment. If the appointment is not ratified, the Board must then determine whether to appoint other auditors prior to the end of the current fiscal year. In such case, the opinions of stockholders will be taken into consideration.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has reviewed the following audit and non-audit fees the Company has paid to Whitley Penn LLP for 2020 and 2021 for purposes of considering whether such fees are compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence. The policy of the Audit Committee is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services performed by Whitley Penn LLP before the services are performed, including all of the services described below under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees” and “All Other Fees” below.

Audit Fees. Fees billed for service rendered by our Accounting Firm for the reviews of Forms 10-Q and for the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company were $125,000 for 2020 and $127,436 for 2021. Fees billed for the services rendered by our Accounting Firm for the review of our registration statement on Form S-1 for our secondary offering of common stock that closed in October of 2020 were $75,000. Fees billed for the services rendered by our Accounting Firm for the review of our registration statement on Form S-3 for our at the market offering of common stock that commenced in August of 2021 were $39,000.

Audited-Related Fees. Aggregate fees billed for all audit-related services rendered by our Accounting Firm were $0 for 2019 and 2020.

Tax Fees. Aggregate fees billed for permissible tax services rendered by our Accounting Firm consisted of $13,000 for 2020 and $15,875 for 2021. These amounts include tax strategy services, preparation of sales tax returns, preparation of federal and state income tax returns, preparation of property tax and franchise tax returns and international tax issues.

All Other Fees. Aggregate fees billed for all other services rendered by our Accounting Firm consisted of $0 for 2020 and 2021.

Representatives of Whitley Penn LLP are expected to be in attendance at the Meeting and will be afforded the opportunity to make a statement. The representatives will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The enclosed Proxy will be voted as specified, but if no specification is made, it will be voted “FOR” the adoption of the resolution of ratification.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal.

PROPOSAL THREE

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are providing our stockholders an opportunity to indicate whether they support our Named Executive Officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This advisory vote, commonly referred to as "say on pay," is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but instead relates to the tabular disclosures regarding Named Executive Officer compensation, and the narrative disclosure accompanying the tabular presentation. These disclosures allow you to view the trends in our executive compensation program and the application of our compensation philosophies for the years presented.

The Compensation Committee believes an effective compensation program should be one that is designed to recruit and retain top quality executive leadership focused on attaining long-term corporate goals and increasing stockholder value. We believe that our executive compensation program is designed to reasonably and fairly recruit, motivate, retain and reward our executives for achieving our objectives and goals. Accordingly, the Board of Directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the following resolution: "Resolved, that the stockholders approve the compensation of the Company's named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables and the related footnotes and narrative disclosures."

Although this vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation decisions. The proposal will be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the resolution approving the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

PROPOSAL FOUR

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF SAY ON PAY VOTING

As required pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we are providing our stockholders with the opportunity to vote at the Annual Meeting on an advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers ("say-on-pay"). See Proposal Three above in this Proxy Statement. The Dodd-Frank Act and applicable SEC rules also require that, at least once every six years, stockholders be given the opportunity to vote on the advisory resolution set forth immediately above regarding the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

Stockholders may vote to recommend that future "say-on-pay" votes be held every year, every two years or every three years. The Board currently believes that future "say-on-pay" votes should occur every three years. The Board believes that holding a "say-on-pay" vote every three years offers the closest alignment with the Company's approach to executive compensation and its underlying philosophy that seek to enhance the long-term growth of the Company and to attract, retain and motivate our executive officers over the long term. The Board believes a three-year cycle for the advisory vote on executive compensation will provide investors the most meaningful timing alternative by which to evaluate the effectiveness of our executive compensation strategies and their alignment with the Company's business and results of operations. It will also minimize the administrative, compliance and other corporate expenses associated with holding "say-on-pay" votes more frequently (e.g., every year or every two years).

Effects of Advisory Vote

Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not be binding on the Board. However, the Board of Directors will consider the outcome of the vote along with other factors when making its decision about the frequency of future "say-on-pay" votes.

Vote Required

This proposal is being submitted to enable stockholders to express a preference as to whether future "say-on-pay" votes should be held every year, every two years or every three years. The selection that receives a plurality of affirmative votes of the shares of Common Stock outstanding will be considered the preference of the stockholders. Brokers are not entitled to use their discretion to vote uninstructed proxies with respect to the proposal, and any such "broker non-votes" will not be deemed a vote cast.

The Board recommends that a vote “FOR THREE YEARS” with respect to how frequently a non-binding stockholder vote on the compensation of our named executive officers should occur.

PROPOSAL FIVE

SHARE ISSUANCE PROPOSAL

Background and Overview

The Company is requesting stockholder approval of the following proposal (the “Share Issuance Approval”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) for the potential issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the redemption of one or more promissory notes issued under that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), dated as of March 10, 2022, by and between the Company and Streeterville Capital, LLC (the “Investor”).

Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, the Investor (i) purchased an unsecured promissory note (“Note #1”) in aggregate principal amount of $5,350,000 in exchange for $5,000,000 less certain expenses and (ii) agreed to purchase another unsecured promissory note at the Company’s election (“Note #2” and, together with Note #1, the “Notes”) in aggregate principal amount of $5,350,000 in exchange for $5,000,000, with the Company’s election being subject to the Company satisfying, among others, the following conditions within six months of the issuance of Note #1: (A) obtaining stockholder approval for the issuance of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the potential redemption of the Notes, which approval would be satisfied by the approval of this Share Issuance Proposal, and (B) there being no Trigger Event (as defined in the Notes) under Note #1. If Note #2 is issued, the terms of Note #1 and Note #2 will be substantively identical. The net proceeds to the Company from the issuance of Note #1 were approximately $4.7 million, which the Company intends to use for general corporate purposes.

Until amounts due under the Notes are paid in full, the Company agreed, among other things, to: (i) timely make all filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) ensure the Common Stock continues to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) or the New York Stock Exchange, (iii) not issue debt securities or certain equity securities where the pricing of such equity securities is tied to the public trading price of the Common Stock, in each case, without the Investor’s prior consent, and (iv) offer the Investor the right to purchase up to 10% of future equity and debt securities offerings, subject to certain exceptions and limitations. The Company also agreed under the SPA to reserve with the Company’s transfer agent 6.5 million shares of Common Stock for potential issuance under each Note for shares that may be delivered in connection with the redemption right, which reservation may be increased and decreased in certain circumstances.

The Notes have an interest rate of 7% per annum. The maturity date of each Note is 18 months from the issuance date of such Note (the “Maturity Date”). If the Company elects to prepay the Notes prior to the Maturity Date, it must pay a premium of (i) 5%, if the prepayment occurs prior to the three-month anniversary of issuance, (ii) 7.5%, if the prepayment occurs between the three-month anniversary and six-month anniversary of issuance and (iii) 10% if the prepayment occurs after the six-month anniversary of issuance (in each case, plus the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date).

Beginning on the date that is six (6) months after the issuance date of the applicable Note, the Noteholder has the right to redeem up to $500,000 of the outstanding balance of such Note per month. Payments may be made by the Company, generally at the Company’s option, (a) in cash, (b) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of Common Stock with the number of redemption shares being equal to the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Conversion Price or (c) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The “Redemption Conversion Price” shall equal 85% multiplied by the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average prices per share of the Common Stock during the 15 trading days immediately preceding the date that the Noteholder delivers notice electing to redeem a portion of the Note. The Company’s right to satisfy the redemption amount in shares of Common Stock is subject to certain limitations, including (i) there not being any Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Note), (ii) the Noteholder and its affiliates together not owning more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (iii) for Note #1, the aggregate shares of Common Stock issued upon redemption of Note #1 not exceeding 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock unless the Company has obtained stockholder approval under Nasdaq rules for such issuance.

The Notes contain certain Trigger Events that generally, if uncured within five (5) trading days, may result in an event of default in accordance with the terms of the Notes (such event, an “Event of Default”). Upon a Trigger Event, the Noteholder may increase the outstanding balance by 15% for certain major Trigger Events and 5% for all other Trigger Events. Additionally, upon an Event of a Default, the Noteholder may consider the Note immediately due and payable. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate may also be increased to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

Effect of Issuance of Additional Common Stock

If this Share Issuance Proposal is approved, (i) the Note #2 Stockholder Approval Condition under the SPA will be satisfied and, assuming the other conditions have been satisfied, the Company will be able to elect to issue Note #2 pursuant to the terms set forth in the SPA and (ii) the Company will be able to issue shares of Common Stock under the Notes in satisfaction of a redemption request in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, subject to the conditions set forth in the Notes and the SPA. As of the date of this proxy statement, there are [•] shares of Common Stock outstanding. Assuming (1) there are no changes to the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock other than shares issued in satisfaction of a Note redemption request, (2) the Noteholder requests Note redemption to the maximum extent allowable under the Note(s) and the Company elects to satisfy such requests entirely in Common Stock, (3) the Redemption Conversion Price is the same for all periods, and (4) the Company otherwise complies with or satisfies all the conditions in the Note(s) on the Company’s ability to issue Common Stock upon redemption of the Note(s), upon obtaining the Share Issuance Approval, the Company would issue and deliver shares to the Noteholder under the Note(s) as follows:

If Note #2 is not issued:

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $4.00, the Company would issue approximately 1.7 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock;

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $2.00, the Company would issue approximately 3.4 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock;

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $1.00, the Company would issue approximately 6.7 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock; and

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $0.50, the Company would issue approximately 13.4 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock.

If Note #2 is issued:

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $4.00, the Company would issue approximately 3.1 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock;

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $2.00, the Company would issue approximately 6.1 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock;

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $1.00, the Company would issue approximately 12.3 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock; and

if the Redemption Conversion Price is $0.50, the Company would issue approximately 24.5 million shares of Common Stock, which would result in the Noteholder receiving an aggregate of [•]% of the outstanding Common Stock.

As there is no floor on the Redemption Conversion Price, the Company cannot be certain as to the exact number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Notes. As such, the exact magnitude of the dilutive effect cannot be conclusively determined, but the dilutive effect may be material to current stockholders.

If the Company obtains the Share Issuance Approval and the Company delivers shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of Note redemption requests, such issuance(s) would reduce the relative voting power, liquidation value and share book value for the Company’s current stockholders. Further, the resale of Common Stock received by the Noteholders could cause the market price of the Common Stock to decline. In addition, an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock in connection with a redemption of the Notes may have an incidental anti-takeover effect in that additional shares could be used to dilute the stock ownership of parties seeking to obtain control of the Company. The increased number of issued shares could discourage the possibility of, or render more difficult, certain mergers, tender offers, proxy contests or other change of control or ownership transactions.

Basis of Stockholder Approval Requirements

The Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, as such, the Company is subject to the NASDAQ listing standards set forth in its Listing Rules. Under Listing Rule 5635(d), prior stockholder approval is required for the issuance, other than in a public offering, of securities convertible into common stock at a price less than the greater of book or market value of the common stock if the securities are convertible into 20% or more of a company’s common stock.

Since the Redemption Conversion Price of the Notes is based on the trading price of Common Stock, it is possible that the issuance of Common Stock in connection with the redemption of the Notes could result in the issuance of more than 20% of Common Stock. While the Company generally has the ability to elect to settle a request to have the Notes redeemed in cash rather than Common Stock, the Company may determine that it is unable or unwilling to pay such redemption amount in cash. Furthermore, unless the Company obtains the approval sought by this Share Issuance Approval, the Company will be unable to issue Note #2. Given the foregoing, the Company is seeking stockholder approval under this Share Issuance Proposal, to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), to potentially issue more than 20% of the outstanding Common Stock to the Noteholders upon potential redemption of the Notes.

Consequences of Not Approving this Proposal

If the Company’s stockholders do not approve this Share Issuance Proposal, the Company (i) will not be able to issue Note #2 and (ii) we will not be permitted to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding Common Stock upon redemption of Note #1. Being unable to issue Note #2 would limit the Company’s access to liquidity, which the Company expects would be used to finance the Company’s operating activities and its investment in INTRUSION Shield.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding entitled to vote at the Meeting and present in person or by Proxy, is required for the Share Issuance Approval.

The Board recommends that a vote “FOR” the Share Issuance Approval.
