at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions.

If
your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or otherwise held by a bank or other nominee for your benefit, you are considered the
beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are considered held in “street name”. If you hold your shares in “street
name”, you will receive instructions from your bank, broker, or other nominee describing how to submit your vote for those shares.
If you do not direct your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to vote such shares, they may vote your shares based on their discretion

nominee will not be able to vote the shares (this is deemed a “broker non-vote”).
If
any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, including, among other things, consideration of a motion
to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place, the individuals named as proxies and acting thereunder will have discretion to
vote on those matters according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person delivering the proxy would be entitled to vote.
If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting.
You will still be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted. At the date this Proxy Statement went to press, we did not anticipate
that any other matters would be raised at the Annual Meeting.
Quorum
Article
II, Section 9 of the Company’s By-Laws, states that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the “majority of the votes entitled
to be cast on a matter by a voting group shall constitute a quorum.” For this purpose, the holders of the shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and the Series C Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, in the aggregate, constitutes
a voting group. A quorum is required in order to transact business at the Annual Meeting. Each Proposal in this Proxy Statement sets
forth the requisite vote for approval of such Proposal.

of the proxy materials and the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company in

General
The
Company’s current Articles of Incorporation were initially approved in April 2017. The Board has approved certain amendments to
the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, which amendments are necessary to reflect the recent change in the Corporation’s
name and to better align the Articles of Incorporation with the Company’s current business goals, including to provide the Board
the authority and flexibility needed to implement the Company’s growth initiatives.
A
full copy of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation approved by the Board is included herein as Exhibit A and you
are encouraged to read it. If the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are ratified at the Annual Meeting, the Board
of Directors will cause that a copy of the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation be filed with the Secretary of State
of the State of Nevada.
Vote
Required
The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes and series of the Company’s stock cast at the Annual
Meeting and entitled to vote thereat, voting together as a single class, provided a quorum is present, is required for ratification of
the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation. For purposes of the vote on this matter, abstentions and broker non-votes
will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although the shares represented by each such type
of proxy card will count towards the presence of quorum.

PROPOSAL
2 – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
At
the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company’s shareholders ratified the Board’s appointment of Ankit Consulting
Services, Inc., Certified Public Accountants (“ACS”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s
financial statements for the fiscal year beginning on May 1, 2020. In the fiscal year beginning on May 1, 2020, the Board approved the
change of the Company’s fiscal yearend, from a fiscal year ending on April 30 to a fiscal year ending on March 31. The Company’s
audited financial statements for the current fiscal year include the Company’s results of operations for the 11-month transition
period from May 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021.
The
Board has appointed ACS to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022. Although
we are not required to seek stockholder ratification of this appointment, the Board believes it to be a matter of good corporate governance
to do so.
You
may vote in favor or against this proposal. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes and series
of the Company’s stock cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat, provided a quorum is present, is required to approve
this proposal. If the appointment of ACS is not ratified, the Board may reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified,
the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent audit firm at any time during the year if it is determined
that such change would be in best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
ACS
has been notified of the location, date, and time of the Annual Meeting. Representatives of ACS are not required to attend and have not
notified the Company that they will attend the Annual Meeting, although representatives of ACS are welcome to attend the meeting if they
so choose.

Board
Leadership and Role in Risk Oversight
Our
Board recognizes that selecting the optimal executive leadership structure and the proper combination or separation of roles, such as
the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles, must closely consider and be driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time.
The Board has not formally adopted an overall policy requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents
do not mandate a particular executive management structure. The Board reserves the right to modify the leadership structure as needed
to best meet the changing needs of the Company from time to time.
The
Board oversees our shareholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of the Company and its financial strengths.
The full Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so in part through discussion and review of
our business, financial and corporate governance practices and procedures. The Board, as a whole, reviews the risks confronted by the
Company with respect to its operations and financial condition, establishes limits of risk tolerance with respect to the Company’s
activities and ensures adequate property and liability insurance coverage.
Meetings
of the Board and Actions by Written Consent of the Board
During
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, there were three (3) meetings of the Board and nine (9) actions of the Board by the written consent
of the Directors in the absence of a Board meeting. Our Board conducted all of its business and approved all corporate action during
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, and during the period from April 1, 2021 to present, in meetings attended by 100% of the then incumbent
Directors or by the written consent of 100% of the then incumbent Directors in the absence of a Board meeting.
Stockholder
Communications
A
stockholder may communicate with the Board by directing a written request addressed to our President or our General Counsel at the address
appearing on the first page of this Proxy Statement.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our
equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership. Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
solely on such forms furnished to us by our officers and directors and by persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities, we believe that during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, all such reports were filed in a timely manner.
Director
Independence and Board Committees
The
principal market for the Company’s Common Stock is the OTCQB Market, an over-the-counter trading platforms market operated by OTC
Markets Group Inc. Our determination of the independence of Directors is made using the definition of “independent director”
contained in the listing standards of the OTCQB Market. Under such listing standards, a listed company Director qualifies as “independent”
if, among other things, (a) the Director is not an Executive Officer or employee of the listed company, and (b) the Director does not
have a relationship which, in the opinion of the listed company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment by the director in carrying out his or her responsibilities as a director.
Based
on the definition of “independent director” contained in the listing standards of the OTCQB Market, the Board believes Messrs.
Keene, Hibbert, Trapp, and Zimmerman are independent directors.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
We
do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or
any other committees of the Company’s Board of Directors. Our Board does not believe that it is practical due to the limited number
of directors currently serving, nor necessary to have such committees at this point because it believes the functions of such committees
can be adequately performed by the Board as a whole. A compensation committee made up of members of management, including non-independent
Board members, has been commissioned by the Board and is chartered and operating to assist the Board with executive compensation-related
matters.
We
have not adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board.
Audit
Committee Financial Expert
The
Board does not currently have an Audit Committee. The duties of members of an Audit Committee are currently carried out by the Board
as a whole.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
Board of Directors has adopted (i) a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and (ii) a Conflicts of Interest Policy that apply to our directors,
officers, and employees. Copies of these documents are available in print to any person, without charge, upon written request to our
Investor Relations Department at 1700 Coit Road, Suite 100, Plano, Texas 75075.

Security Systems, Inc. and Affiliate
In
July 2020, the Company and Chan Heng Fai Ambrose, a Director of the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase and Share Subscription Agreement
(the “SPA Agreement”) pursuant to which Mr. Chan invested $3.0 million in the Company in exchange for 30.0 million shares
of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and a fully vested Stock Warrant to purchase up to 10.0 million shares of the Company’s
Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share. Simultaneously with the SPA Agreement, Mr. Chan and Decentralized Sharing
Systems, Inc. (“DSSI”), a subsidiary of Document Security Systems, Inc.(“DSS”), and, together with DSS, a major
shareholder of the Company, entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Chan assigned to DSS all interests
in the SPA Agreement. In July 2020, the Company issued 30.0 million shares of its Class A Common Stock to DSS, an “accredited investor,”
as defined in the Securities Act, pursuant to the SPA Agreement. Under the terms of the SPA Agreement, the shares of Class A Common Stock
issued to DSS are subject to a one (1) year restriction with regards to sale or transfer. The Stock Warrant issued pursuant to the SPA
Agreement expires on the third anniversary from the issuance date, unless exercised earlier.
On
April 5, 2021, the Company and DSSI entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued: (a) a Convertible
Promissory Note in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “Note”) in favor of DSSI, and (b) a detachable Warrant to purchase
up to 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at $0.22 per share. The Note bears interest at the annual rate
of 8% and matures on April 5, 2024, subject to certain acceleration provisions upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined
in the Note. Interest on the Note is prepayable annually in cash or in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at the option
of the Company, except that interest for the first year is prepayable in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, calculated
at the rate of $0.20 per share. Borrowings under the Note may be prepaid without penalty, in full or in part, at the option of the Company,
at any time after the first anniversary of the Note. At any time during the term of the Note, all or part of the Note, including principal,
less unamortized prepaid interest, if any, plus any accrued interest and other fees can be converted into shares of the Company’s
Class A Common Stock at the rate of $0.20 per share, at the option of the holder. The detachable Warrant confers the right to purchase
up to 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, is fully vested and may be exercised at any time on or before April
5, 2026, at the exercise price of $0.22 per share.
In
connection with the loan, the Company agreed to pay to DSSI a loan Origination Fee of $3.0 million, payable in shares of the Company’s
Class A Common Stock, calculated at the rate of $0.20 per share. Accordingly, upon funding of the loan, the Company issued to DSSI 27,000,000
shares of its Class A Common Stock, including 15,000,000 shares in payment of the loan Origination Fee and 12,000,000 shares in prepayment
of interest for the first year, as discussed above.
Proceeds
from the loan have been deposited in a special purpose bank account and are intended primarily to fund the Company’s domestic and
international growth initiatives. The Company’s Board of Directors retained oversight and delegated control responsibility to a
specified Company Director, who also holds an executive position with DSS. The Company’s Board of Directors has stipulated that
authority to disburse funds from the designated bank account is delegated to: (a) the specified Director acting together with (b) the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer or the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Shareholder
approval will be required to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized to allow for the potential
conversion of 100% of the Note. Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to seek shareholder approval
on or before July 30, 2021. If Proposal 1 is approved at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation will, among other things, ensure that the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is
sufficient for the potential conversion of 100% of the Note.
As
of June 30, 2021, DSS, directly and through its subsidiary, DSSI, holds 91,207,378 shares (or approximately 48.7% of the Company’s
Class A common stock, over which Mr. Chan, a director of the Company, maintains voting control. In addition, DSS may acquire 150,000,000
shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Note, and 160,000,000 shares of the Company’s
Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the stock warrants held by DSS, directly and through DSSI, including the Warrant discussed
above.

October 2017, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $50,000 (the “Note”) to HWH International,
Inc (“HWH” or the “Holder”). HWH is affiliated with Chan Heng Fai Ambrose, who in April 2020 became a Director

Statement, the Company and HWH are jointly reviewing the Note and the detachable stock warrant. The number of shares that HWH may acquire
upon conversion of the HWH Note and exercise of the detachable warrant may be greater than the amounts described in this paragraph, depending

Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For
purposes of this disclosure, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of our Class
A Common Stock that such person or group of persons owns or has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus, except
as discussed below. For purposes of computing the percentage of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock held by a named person,
any shares that such person has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this Proxy Statement are deemed to be outstanding,
but such shares are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. For purposes
of computing the percentage of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock held by all executive officers and/or directors as
a group (12 persons), any shares that such group of persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this Proxy Statement
are deemed to be outstanding, but such shares are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership
of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership.
As
discussed above, on April 5, 2021, the Company and DSSI entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the Company issued:
(a) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $30.0 million (the “Note”) in favor of DSSI, and (b) a detachable
Warrant to purchase up to 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Note is convertible into 150,000,000 shares
of the Company’s Class A Common Stock but only after exercise of the Warrant. Shareholder approval will be required to increase
the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock authorized to allow for the potential conversion of 100% of the Note. Under
the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to seek shareholder approval on or before July 30, 2021. If Proposal
1 is approved at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will, among other things,
ensure that the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is sufficient for the potential conversion of
100% of the Note. For purposes of the disclosure below, the Company has excluded the impact of the potential conversion of the Note.
The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the ownership of our capital stock, as of June 30, 2021, by: (i) each person
known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of all voting classes of our stock, (ii) each executive

OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section
9.1 Right To Indemnification.
9.1.1
The Corporation shall indemnify any person (an “indemnitee”) who was or is involved in or is threatened to be involved in
any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”),
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation or, while a Director or Officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent (including, without limitation, service
as a trustee) of another entity or enterprise, to the fullest extent authorized by the NRS, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended
(but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits
the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment),
against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
(except for judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in any action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding.
9.1.2
Notwithstanding the preceding Section 9.1.1, except as provided below in Article IX, Section 9.6 of these Articles with
respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify
an indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the indemnitee if and only if the Board authorized the commencement
of such Proceeding (or part thereof).
Section
9.2 Advance Payment Of Expenses. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
incurred by an indemnitee in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding;
provided, however, that, to the extent required by the NRS, a present Director or Officer of the Corporation shall be required to submit
to the Corporation, prior to the payment of such expenses, an undertaking (an “undertaking”) by or on behalf of such Director
or Officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined in a final, non-appealable judicial decision that such Director
or Officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation for such expenses as authorized in this Article IX.
Section
9.3 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this
Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an indemnitee may be entitled under any statute, provision
of these Articles, Bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
Section
9.4 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, Officer,
employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent
(including, without limitation, as a trustee) of another entity or enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and
incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have
the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the NRS or the provisions of this Article IX.
Section
9.5 Certain Assumptions.
9.5.1
For the purposes of this Article IX: (a) any Director or Officer of the Corporation who shall serve or has served as a Director,
Officer, employee or agent of any other entity or enterprise of which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, is or was a stockholder
or creditor, or in which the Corporation is or was in any way interested, or (b) any current or former Director or Officer of any subsidiary
entity or enterprise wholly owned by the Corporation, in each case, shall be deemed to be serving at the request of the Corporation.
In all other instances where any person shall serve or has served as a Director, Officer, employee or agent (including, without limitation,
as a trustee) of another entity or enterprise of which the Corporation is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which it is or was
otherwise interested, if it is not otherwise established that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Corporation,
the Board may determine whether such service is or was at the request of the Corporation, and it shall not be necessary to show any actual
or prior request for such service.
9.5.2
For purposes of this Article IX, references to an entity include all predecessor entities and constituent entities absorbed in
a consolidation or merger (including any constituent of a constituent) as well as the resulting or surviving entity so that any person
who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent (including, without limitation, as
a trustee) of such a constituent entity shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect
to the resulting or surviving entity as such person would if such person had served the resulting or surviving entity in the same capacity.
9.5.3
For purposes of this Article IX, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references
to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to
“serving at the request of the Corporation” shall include any service as a Director or Officer of the Corporation which imposes
duties on, or involves services by, such Director or Officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries,
and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation”
as referred to in NRS 78.7502.
Section
9.6 Proceedings To Enforce Rights To Indemnification.
9.6.1
If a claim under Article IX, Section 9.1 of these Articles is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after
a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, or a claim under Article IX, Section 9.2 is not paid in full by
the Corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any
time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. Any such written claim under Article
IX, Section 9.1 shall include such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the indemnitee and reasonably necessary
to determine whether and to what extent the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Any written claim under Article IX, Sections
9.1 and 9.2, shall include reasonable documentation of the expenses incurred by the indemnitee.
9.6.2
If an indemnitee is successful in whole or in part: (i) in any suit brought pursuant to Article IX, Section 9.6.1, or (ii) in
a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall
also be entitled to be paid and indemnified for the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.
9.6.3
In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to
enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification
set forth in the NRS.
9.6.4
In any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation
shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification
set forth in the NRS.
9.6.5
Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Directors, independent
legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee
is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the NRS, nor an actual
determination by the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Directors, independent
legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that
the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense
to such suit.
9.6.6
In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation
to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article IX or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
Section
9.7 Preservation Of Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article
IX shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or has ceased to serve at the request
of the Corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent (including, without limitation, a trustee) of another entity or enterprise,
and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or modification of this Article
IX by the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director
or Officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
