This Proxy Statement contains information relating to the Annual Meeting. This Annual Meeting of stockholders will be held as a virtual meeting. Stockholders attending the virtual meeting will be afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would at an in-person meeting.
You will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online via a live webcast by visitingwww.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WGRX2026.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THIS PROXY STATEMENT AND VOTING
What is a proxy?
A proxy is the legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a proxy or a proxy card. By completing a proxy card, as more fully described herein, you are designating Prashant Patel, our President, as your proxy for the Annual Meeting and authorizing Mr. Patel to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting as you have instructed on the proxy card. This way, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, we urge you to vote in one of the ways described below so that your vote will be counted even if you are unable or decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
What is a proxy statement?
A proxy statement is a document that we are required by regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” to give you when we ask you to sign a proxy card designating Mr. Patel as proxy to vote on your behalf.
Why did you send me this proxy statement?
We sent you this Proxy Statement and proxy card because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment, postponement, or continuation thereof. This Proxy Statement summarizes information related to your vote at the Annual Meeting. All stockholders who find it convenient to do so are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting virtually. However, you do not need to attend the meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign, and return the proxy card or vote over the Internet, or by phone.
What does it mean if I receive more than one set of proxy materials?
If you receive more than one set of proxy materials, your shares may be registered in more than one name or in different accounts. Please complete, sign, and return each proxy card to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
| 4 |
How do I attend the Annual Meeting?
The Annual Meeting will be held on July 20, 2026, at 1pm Eastern Time in a virtual format online by accessing www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/WGRX2026. Information on how to vote at the Annual Meeting is discussed below.
Who is entitled to vote?
The Board has fixed the close of business on June 22, 2026 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. On the Record Date, there were [2,647,198] shares of common stock outstanding. Each share of common stock represents one vote that may be voted on each proposal described in this Proxy Statement and properly presented at the Annual Meeting.
What is the difference between holding shares as a record holder and as a beneficial owner (holding shares in street name)?
If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Colonial Stock Transfer Company, Inc., you are the “record holder” of those shares. If you are a record holder, these proxy materials have been provided directly to you by the Company. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, a bank, or other holder of record, you are considered to be the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, the Notice has been forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct this organization on how to vote your shares. See “How will my shares be voted if I give no specific instruction?” below for information on how shares held in street name will be voted without instructions provided.
Who may attend the Annual Meeting?
Only record holders and beneficial owners of our common stock, or their duly authorized proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares of common stock are held in street name, you will need to provide a copy of a brokerage statement or other documentation reflecting your stock ownership as of the Record Date.
What am I voting on?
There are six (6) matters scheduled for a vote. The first matter is a proposal to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effect a change of name from “Wellgistics Health, Inc.” to “DataMeds AI, Inc.” (the “Name Change Proposal”). The second matter is a proposal to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s blank check preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal”). The third matter is a proposal to amend the Wellgistics Health, Inc. Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (1) to adjust the maximum annual increase from three percent (3%) to twenty (20%) of shares outstanding and (2) to reserve an additional 6,000 shares of super-voting preferred stock for issuance (the “Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal”). The fourth matter is a proposal to approve the designation of a new series of super-voting preferred stock and to approve the issuance of such super-voting preferred stock to certain directors and executive officers, including the voting rights and powers associated with such series (the “Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal”). The fifth matter is a proposal to elect five directors to the Board (the “Election of Directors Proposal”). The sixth matter is to ratify the appointment of Suri & Co., Chartered Accountants as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2026 (the “Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Proposal”).
What if another matter is properly brought before the Annual Meeting?
The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting. The proxy holder also will have discretionary authority to vote on matters properly incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting, including, if the Board determines it is appropriate, to vote to adjourn, postpone, or continue the Annual Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in accordance with the Board’s recommendations. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the proxy holder to vote on those matters in accordance with his best judgment.

How do I vote?
If you are a stockholder of record, for your convenience you have three methods of voting. You may vote by Internet using the website address on your vote instruction form, you may vote by mail by marking, dating, signing, and promptly mailing the proxy card, or you may attend and vote at the Annual Meeting held in virtual format. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, for your convenience you also have three methods of voting. You may vote by Internet using the website address on your vote instruction form, you may vote by mail by marking, dating, signing, and promptly mailing the vote instruction form, or you may obtain a valid legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares and attend and vote at the Annual Meeting held in virtual format.
All shares entitled to vote and represented by a properly completed and executed proxy received before the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as instructed in a proxy delivered before the Annual Meeting. We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.
How many votes do I have?
Holders of record of shares of our common stock will be entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by them on the Record Date and have the right to vote on each proposal described in this Proxy Statement and properly presented at the Annual Meeting.
Is my vote confidential?
Yes, your vote is confidential. Only the inspector of elections, individuals who help with processing and counting your votes, and persons who need access for legal reasons will have access to your vote. This information will not be disclosed, except as required by law.
What constitutes a quorum?
To carry on business at the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum. A quorum is present when a majority of the shares entitled to vote, as of the Record Date, are represented in person or by proxy. Thus, [1,323,600] shares must be represented in person or by proxy to have a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank, or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Shares owned by us are not considered outstanding or considered to be present at the Annual Meeting. If there is not a quorum at the Annual Meeting, either the chairperson of the Annual Meeting or our stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting may adjourn the Annual Meeting.
How will my shares be voted if I give no specific instruction?
We must vote your shares as you have instructed. If there is a matter on which a stockholder of record has given no specific instruction but has authorized us generally to vote the shares, they will be voted “For” the Name Change Proposal, “For” the Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal, “For” the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal, “For” the Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal, “For” the Election of Directors Proposal and “For” the Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Proposal. If any other matters properly incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting come before the Annual Meeting and you do not provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted at the discretion of Mr. Patel, the Board’s designated proxy holder. If your shares are held in street name, see “What is a broker non-vote?” below regarding the ability of banks, brokers, and other such holders of record to vote the uninstructed shares of their customers or other beneficial owners in their discretion.
How are votes counted?
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Annual Meeting, who will separately count votes “For” and “Against,” as well as abstentions and broker non-votes, with respect to each proposal. Broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast with respect to any proposal. However, because approval of each proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon, broker non-votes and abstentions will have the practical effect of votes cast against each proposal.
| 6 |
What is a broker non-vote?
A bank, broker, or other nominee holding the shares of common stock in “street name” for a beneficial owner has discretion (but is not required) to vote the client’s share of common stock with respect to “routine” matters if the client does not provide voting instructions. The Election of Directors Proposal and Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Proposal are considered routine matters, which means that your broker or other nominee will have discretionary authority to vote your shares held in street name on these matters. The broker or other nominee, however, is not permitted to vote the client’s share of common stock with respect to “non-routine” matters without voting instructions. A “broker non-vote” occurs when the broker or other nominee does not vote on a particular proposal because that broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. The Company expects that the Name Change Proposal, the Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal, the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal, and the Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal will each be treated as a non-routine matter, which means that your broker or other nominee will not have discretionary authority to vote your shares held in street name on these matters. Accordingly, in the absence of your voting instructions, your broker or nominee may not vote your shares on the proposals.
How many votes are required to approve each proposal?
The table below summarizes the proposals that will be voted on, the vote required to approve each item and how votes are counted.
| Proposal | Board Recommendation | Votes Required | Voting Options | |||
| Proposal No. 1: Name Change Proposal | FOR | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required for approval of the Name Change Proposal. | “FOR” / “AGAINST” / “ABSTAIN” | |||
| Proposal No. 2: Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal | FOR | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required for approval of the Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal. | “FOR” / “AGAINST” / “ABSTAIN” | |||
| Proposal No.3: Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal | FOR | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required for approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal. | “FOR” / “AGAINST” / “ABSTAIN” | |||
| Proposal No. 4: Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal | FOR | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required for approval of the Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal. | “FOR” / “AGAINST” / “ABSTAIN” | |||
| Proposal No. 5: Election of Directors Proposal | FOR each of the Director Nominees | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required for each of the Director Nominees for approval of this Election of Directors Proposal. | “FOR” / “AGAINST” / “ABSTAIN” for each of the Director Nominees | |||
| Proposal No. 6: Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Proposal | FOR | The affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock is required for approval of this Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Proposal. | “FOR” / “AGAINST” / “ABSTAIN” |
| 7 |
What is an abstention?
An abstention is a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Under Delaware law, abstentions are counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. However, because approval of each proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon, abstentions will have the practical effect of votes cast against the proposal.
What are the voting procedures?
With regard to all proposals, you may vote in favor of or against the proposal, or you may abstain from voting on the proposal. You should specify your respective choices on the accompanying proxy card or your vote instruction form.
Is my proxy revocable?
You may revoke your proxy and reclaim your right to vote at any time before your proxy is voted by giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, by delivering a properly completed, later-dated proxy card or vote instruction form, or by voting virtually at the Annual Meeting. All written notices of revocation and other communications with respect to revocations of proxies should be addressed to: Wellgistics Health, Inc., 3000 Bayport Drive, Suite 950, Tampa, FL 33607. Attention: Corporate Secretary. Your most current proxy card or Internet proxy is the one that will be counted.
Who is paying for the expenses involved in preparing and mailing this proxy statement?
All of the expenses involved in preparing and assembling these proxy materials and mailing the notice (and any paper materials, if requested) and all costs of soliciting proxies will be paid by us. In addition to the solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by our officers and other employees by telephone or in person. Such persons will receive no compensation for their services other than their regular salaries. Arrangements will also be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares held of record by such persons, and we may reimburse such persons for reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding solicitation materials.
Do I have dissenters’ rights of appraisal?
Stockholders do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under the Company’s governing documents with respect to the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.
How can I find out the results of the voting at the Annual Meeting?
Preliminary voting results will be announced at the Annual Meeting. In addition, final voting results will be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Form 8-K with the SEC within four business days after the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an amended Form 8-K to publish the final results.

Components of Compensation for Fiscal Year 2025
Base Salary and Bonuses. As existing executive officers and NEOs, receive a base salary and bonuses to compensate them for services rendered to the Company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. Base salary amounts will be established based on consideration of, among other factors, the scope of the NEO’s position, responsibilities and years of service and the compensation committee’s general knowledge of the competitive market, based on, among other things, experience with other similarly situated companies and Wellgistics Health’s industry and market data reviewed by the compensation committee.
Incentive Plan. We have adopted the Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) in order to facilitate the grant of equity incentives to our directors, employees (including our NEOs) and consultants and certain of our affiliates and to enable us and certain of our affiliates to obtain and retain services of these individuals, which is essential to our long-term success. The below sets forth the principal features of the Incentive Plan.
Administration. The Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors, which may delegate different levels of authority to different committees or persons with administrative and grant authority under the Incentive Plan (referred to collectively as the “Administrator”), subject to certain limitations that may be imposed under the Incentive Plan, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and/or stock exchange rules, as applicable. The Administrator has broad authority under the Incentive Plan, including, without limitation, the authority:
| ● | to select eligible participants and determine the type(s) of award(s) that they are to receive; | |
| ● | to grant awards and determine the terms and conditions of awards, including the price (if any) to be paid for the shares or the award and, in the case of share-based awards, the number of shares to be offered or awarded; | |
| ● | to determine any applicable vesting and exercise conditions for awards (including any applicable performance and/or time-based vesting or exercisability conditions) and the extent to which such conditions have been satisfied, or determine that no delayed vesting or exercise is required, to determine the circumstances in which any performance-based goals (or the applicable measure of performance) will be adjusted and the nature and impact of any such adjustment, to establish the events (if any) on which exercisability or vesting may accelerate (including specified terminations of employment or service or other circumstances), and to accelerate or extend the vesting or exercisability or extend the term of any or all outstanding awards (subject in the case of options and stock appreciation rights to the maximum term of the award); | |
| ● | to cancel, modify, or waive our rights with respect to, or modify, discontinue, suspend, or terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consents; | |
| ● | subject to the other provisions of the Incentive Plan, to make certain adjustments to an outstanding award and to authorize the conversion, succession or substitution of an award; | |
| ● | to determine the method of payment of any purchase price for an award or shares of the Company’s common stock delivered under the Incentive Plan, as well as any tax-related items with respect to an award, which may be in the form of cash, check, or other acceptable instrument, by the delivery of already-owned shares of the Company’s common stock or by a reduction of the number of shares deliverable pursuant to the award, by services rendered by the recipient of the award, by notice and third party payment or cashless exercise on such terms as the Administrator may authorize, or any other form permitted by law; | |
| ● | to modify the terms and conditions of any award, establish sub-plans and agreements and determine different terms and conditions that the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with laws in the countries where we or one of our subsidiaries operates or where one or more eligible participants reside or provide services; | |
| ● | to approve the form of any award agreements used under the Incentive Plan; and | |
| ● | to construe and interpret the Incentive Plan, make rules for the administration of the Incentive Plan, and make all other determinations for the administration of the Incentive Plan. |
Eligibility. All of our officers and employees and officers and employees of our subsidiaries (including all of our named executive officers), each of the members of our board of directors who are not employed by us or any of our subsidiaries (“Non-Employee Directors”), and certain independent contractor consultants who provide bona fide services to us or one of our affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan.
| 16 |
Limitation on Awards and Shares Available. The number of shares initially available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan is 43,506,064 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Limit”). In addition, the Share Limit shall automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year during the term of the Incentive Plan, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) three percent (3%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such number of shares of the Company’s common stock as may be established by the Administrator.
The following other limits are also contained in the Incentive Plan. These limits are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Share Limit for the plan described above.
| ● | The maximum number of shares that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options granted under the plan is the Share Limit. (For clarity, any shares issued in respect of incentive stock options granted under the plan will also count against the overall Share Limit above.) | |
| ● | Awards that are granted under the Incentive Plan during any one calendar year to any person who, on the grant date of the award, is a Non-Employee Director shall not exceed the number of shares that produce a grant date fair value for the award that, when combined with (i) the grant date fair value of any other awards granted under the Incentive Plan during that same calendar year to that individual in his or her capacity as a Non-Employee Director and (ii) the dollar amount of all other cash compensation payable by Wellgistics Health to such Non-Employee Director for his or her services in such capacity during that same calendar year (regardless of whether deferred and excluding any interest or earnings on any portion of such amount that may be deferred), is $750,000; provided that this limit is $1,000,000 as to any new Non-Employee Director for the calendar year in which the non-employee director is first elected or appointed to the board of directors. For purposes of this limit, the “grant date fair value” of an award means the value of the award as of the date of grant of the award and as determined in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) or successor provision but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions. This limit does not apply to, and will be determined without taking into account, any award granted to an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is an officer or employee of Wellgistics Health or one of its subsidiaries. This limit applies on an individual basis and not on an aggregate basis to all Non-Employee Directors as a group. |
Awards. The Incentive Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company’s common stock or units of the Company’s common stock, as well as cash bonus awards. The Incentive Plan retains flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be structured to be paid or settled in cash.
A stock option is the right to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a future date at a specified price per share (the “exercise price”). The per share exercise price of an option generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. An option may either be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. Incentive stock option benefits are taxed differently from nonqualified stock options, as described under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards Under the Incentive Plan” below. Incentive stock options are also subject to more restrictive terms and are limited in amount by the Code and the Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Wellgistics Health or a subsidiary.
A stock appreciation right is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of share of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right over the base price of the stock appreciation right. The base price will be established by the Administrator at the time of grant of the stock appreciation right and generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with other awards or independently. The maximum term of a stock appreciation right is ten years from the date of grant.
The other types of awards that may be granted under the Incentive Plan include, without limitation, stock bonuses, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, stock units or phantom stock (which are contractual rights to receive shares of stock, or cash based on the fair market value of a share of stock), dividend equivalents which represent the right to receive a payment based on the dividends paid on a share of stock over a stated period of time, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, and cash awards.
Any awards under the Incentive Plan (including awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights) may be fully-vested at grant or may be subject to time- and/or performance-based vesting requirements.
| 17 |
Dividend Equivalent Rights. The Administrator may grant dividend equivalent rights as a component of an award of restricted stock units or as a freestanding award. Dividend equivalent rights may be settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof. A dividend equivalent right granted as a component of an award of restricted stock units will provide that such dividend equivalent right shall be settled only upon settlement or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such dividend equivalent right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such other award.
Assumption and Termination of Awards. If an event occurs in which we do not survive (or does not survive as a public company in respect of the Company’s common stock), including, without limitation, a dissolution, merger, combination, consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of the Company, awards then-outstanding under the Incentive Plan will not automatically become fully vested pursuant to the provisions of the Incentive Plan so long as such awards are assumed, substituted for or otherwise continued. However, if awards then-outstanding under the Incentive Plan are to be terminated in such circumstances (without being assumed or substituted for), such awards would generally become fully vested (with any performance goals applicable to the award being deemed met at the “target” performance level), subject to any exceptions that the Administrator may provide for in an applicable award agreement. The Administrator also has the discretion to establish other change in control provisions with respect to awards granted under the Incentive Plan. For example, the Administrator could provide for the acceleration of vesting or payment of an award in connection with a corporate event or in connection with a termination of the award holder’s employment.
Transfer Restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions contained in Section 12(b) of the Incentive Plan, awards under the Incentive Plan generally are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are generally exercisable, during the recipient’s lifetime, only by the recipient. Any amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an award generally will be paid only to the recipient or the recipient’s beneficiary or representative. The Administrator has discretion, however, to establish written conditions and procedures for the transfer of awards to other persons or entities, provided that such transfers comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and are not made for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the voting securities are held by the award recipient or by the recipient’s family members).
Adjustments. As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, each share limit and the number and kind of shares available under the Incentive Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise or purchase prices of awards, and performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.
No Limit on Other Authority. The Incentive Plan does not limit the authority of our board of directors or any committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to the Company’s common stock, under any other plan or authority.
Termination of or Changes to the Incentive Plan. The board of directors may amend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time and in any manner. Stockholder approval for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law or deemed necessary or advisable by the board of directors. Unless terminated earlier by the board of directors and subject to any extension that may be approved by stockholders, the authority to grant new awards under the Incentive Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its establishment. Outstanding awards, as well as the Administrator’s authority with respect thereto, generally will continue following the expiration or termination of the plan. Generally speaking, outstanding awards may be amended by the Administrator (except for a repricing), but the consent of the award holder is required if the amendment (or any plan amendment) materially and adversely affects the holder.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards under the Incentive Plan. The following is a summary of some of the material federal income tax consequences to participants in the Incentive Plan under current federal tax laws. This summary deals with the general tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Certain types of taxes, such as state, local or international income taxes, are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of income taxation that may be relevant to a participant in light of his or her personal investment circumstances and, among other considerations, does not describe the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent an award is subject to and does not satisfy those rules. This summarized tax information is not tax advice.
| 18 |
With respect to nonqualified stock options, we generally are entitled to deduct and the participant recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. With respect to incentive stock options, we generally are not entitled to a deduction nor does the participant recognize income at the time of exercise, although the participant may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax.
The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Incentive Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid (if any) only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); restricted stock units, bonuses, stock appreciation rights, cash and stock-based performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock units, and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment; and compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, we will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income.
If an award is accelerated under the Incentive Plan in connection with a “change in control” (as this term is used under the Code), we may not be permitted to deduct the portion of the compensation attributable to the acceleration (“parachute payments”) if we exceed certain threshold limits under the Code (and certain related excise taxes may be triggered). Furthermore, under Section 162(m) of the Code, the aggregate compensation in excess of $1,000,000 payable to current or former named executive officers (including amounts attributable to equity-based and other incentive awards) may not be deductible by us in certain circumstances.
Other Elements of Compensation
Retirement Plans. We intend to adopt and maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan for our employees, including our NEOs, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. We expect that our NEOs will be eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time, salaried employees. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through a 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of its executive compensation package and further incentivizes its employees, including its NEOs, in accordance with its compensation policies.
Health/Welfare Plans. We intend for all of its full-time, salaried employees, including its NEOs, to be eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, which we expect to include: medical, dental, and vision benefits, and life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance.
No Tax Gross-Ups. We do not intend to make gross-up payments to cover our NEOs’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or benefits paid or provided by us.

**Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718. Such grant date fair value does not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of restricted shares and option awards are set forth in the Critical Accounting Estimates as disclosed in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The amount reported in this column reflects the accounting cost for these awards and does not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the director upon the vesting of the restricted shares, the exercise of the stock options, or any sale of the underlying shares of common stock.
*** Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include the per share fair value of the underlying common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual dividend yield and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term. The Company estimates volatility by reference to the historical volatilities of the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.
Independent Director Compensation Policy
We previously entered into individual agreements with each of its independent directors where we agreed to pay Mr. Anderson and Ms. Shanahan an annual cash retainer of $50,000 and Mr. Peterson an annual cash retainer of $120,000 per year. In addition, we agreed to carry director and officer insurance for Mr. Peterson and to make a one-time issuance of 200,000 shares of our Common Stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the grant date. These 200,000 shares vest in equal amounts of a three year period beginning on the first anniversary date of the grant.
On July 31, 2025, we adopted a non-employee director compensation policy designed to enable us to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, highly qualified non-employee directors. Pursuant to the policy, each non-employee director will receive an annual cash retainer of $120,000, payable at the director’s election in cash or shares of Common Stock. These retainers are paid quarterly in arrears on or before the fifteenth (15th) business day following the end of each calendar quarter. Each non-employee director also receives an annual equity award of 60,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan. These shares of Common Stock are to be issued annually in arrears on or before the fifteenth (15th) business day following the end of each calendar year. Non-employee directors are also reimbursed for reasonable travel expenses in connection with their attendance at board of director and committee meetings. Upon appointment, each non-employee directors will receive 200,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, vesting in equal instalments over three (3) years.

PROPOSAL NO. 1:
THE NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL
General
Our Board has unanimously approved, and recommended that our stockholders approve, an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change our name from “Wellgistics Health, Inc.” to “DataMeds AI, Inc.”.
Reasons for the Name Change
Incorporated in 2022, we are a holding company for existing and future planned operating companies centered around pharmaceuticals and healthcare services. We seek to be a micro health ecosystem, with a portfolio of companies consisting of a pharmacy, wholesale operations, and a technology division that provides a novel platform for hub and clinical services. We are focused on improving the lives of patients while delivering unique solutions for pharmacies, providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and payors. With the successful integration of its patient-centric approach and innovative healthcare applications, we intend to shift the dynamic of pharmaceutical care to revolve around the patient for a wide range of therapeutic conditions by offering a full spectrum of integrated solutions as a result of leveraging the synergies of its business segments to address access, care coordination, dispensing, delivery, and clinical management of pharmaceutical products ranging from “specialty-lite” to general maintenance conditions. We currently exist as a holding company conducting business through two wholly owned subsidiaries—Wood Sage LLC and Wellgistics, LLC—and two indirect subsidiaries—Alliance Pharma Solutions LLC d/b/a DelivMeds (n/k/a Wellgistics Tech & Hub, LLC) and Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC (n/k/a Wellgistics Pharmacy, LLC). Our Board believes that the proposed name change will better align the Company’s corporate identity with its current business model and strategic focus as a healthcare technology and pharmaceutical services platform, and will provide a clearer and more cohesive brand as the Company continues to execute on its integrated “micro health ecosystem” strategy.
Effects of the Name Change
The Board shall cause the Certificate of Amendment to change our name from “Wellgistics Health, Inc.” to “DataMeds AI, Inc.” (the “Name Change Amendment”). The change of our name will not by itself have any effect on our corporate status or the rights of stockholders, or affect in any way the validity of currently outstanding stock certificates or the trading of our securities. Our stockholders will not be required to surrender or exchange any of our stock certificates that they currently hold. Stockholders with certificated shares may continue to hold their existing certificates or receive new certificates reflecting the name change upon tendering the old certificates to our transfer agent. If stockholders approve the Name Change Proposal, we intend to file the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as soon as practicable following such approval.
If the Name Change Amendment becomes effective, our common stock is expected to continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and, if Nasdaq approves our requested symbol change, to trade under the new symbol “MEDS”. Our business, management, fiscal year, consolidated financial statements, and SEC reporting obligations will remain unchanged. Stock certificates that were issued under our current name, Wellgistics Health, Inc., will continue to be valid and will not need to be exchanged solely as a result of the name change. Stockholders holding certificated shares may request, but will not be required to request, new certificates bearing the new corporate name as they otherwise transfer or replace their certificates in the ordinary course, subject to our customary fees, if any.
The name change will become effective upon the filing of the Name Change Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later effective time as may be specified in the Name Change Amendment in accordance with the DGCL.
The proposed form of Name Change Amendment is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement (subject to any changes required by applicable law and provided that, since Proposal No. 2 will result in changes to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company may file one or more amendments with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect multiple approved proposals).
No Dissenters’ Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the name change of the Company.
Required Vote of Stockholders
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve this proposal.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 1.
| 22 |
PROPOSAL NO. 2:
THE PREFERRED STOCK AUTHORIZATION PROPOSAL
Overview
Our Board unanimously approved and recommended that our stockholders approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to authorize 1,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock (the “Blank Check Amendment”). To be able to take effect, stockholders holding a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the proposed action must approve the Blank Check Amendment, and the Blank Check Amendment must then be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The proposed form of Blank Check Amendment is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement (subject to any changes required by applicable law and provided that, since Proposal No. 1 will result in changes to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company may file one or more amendments with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect multiple approved proposals).
Reasons for the Authorization of Preferred Stock
The Company currently is not authorized to issue preferred stock. Our Board authorized and approved the Blank Check Amendment so that preferred stock will be available for issuance to provide the Company with maximum financial and strategic flexibility with respect to future transactions. The preferred stock is referred to as a “blank check” because the Board, in its discretion, will be authorized to provide for the issuance of all or any shares of the stock in one or more classes or series, specifying the number of shares to be included in the class or classes, the distinguishing designations of each class, and the preferences, limitations, and relative rights applicable to each class, subject to the limitations of Delaware law.
The authority of the Board with respect to each class or series will include, without limitation, the right to determine redemption price or prices and timing, dividend rates (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative), conditions, and timing, as well as preferences in relation to the dividends payable on any other class or series, rights upon the dissolution or upon any distribution of the assets of the Company, conversion or exchange rights (including the price or prices and rates of conversion or exchange and adjustments, if any), limitations on the issuance of additional shares of such class or series (or shares of any other class or series of preferred stock), voting rights, and other preferences, powers, qualifications, rights, and privileges, all as the Board may deem advisable and as are not inconsistent with law and the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.
No further authorization will be required from the Company’s stockholders for any of the above-described actions, except as may be required for a particular transaction by applicable law or regulation, including, but not limited to, SEC rules or regulations or the listing regulations of the Company’s securities exchange.
Effects of the Proposed Blank Check Amendment
The Blank Check Amendment would not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing stockholders. However, to the extent that shares of common stock are issued in the future, such issuance would decrease existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership, dilute any earnings per share and book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock, and, depending upon the price at which they are issued, could be dilutive to existing stockholders.
The possible future issuance of shares of our preferred stock or securities convertible or exercisable into our preferred stock could affect our current stockholders in a number of ways. The issuance of new shares of preferred stock could cause immediate dilution of the ownership interests and the voting power of our existing stockholders. New issuances of preferred stock may also affect the number of dividends, if any, paid to such stockholders and may reduce the share of the proceeds that they would receive upon the future liquidation, if any, of the Company. In addition, the future issuance of shares of our preferred stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of our preferred stock could dilute the market price of our common stock to the extent that shares of common stock are issued and sold at prices below current trading prices, or, if the issuance consists of securities convertible or exercisable into common stock, to the extent that the securities provide for the conversion or exercise into common stock at prices that could be below current trading prices of the common stock. Such issuances could also dilute the earnings per share, if any, and book value per share of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and could make the payment of dividends on common stock, if any, potentially more expensive.
The Company is seeking separate stockholder approval in this Proxy Statement for the designation and issuance of a new series of super-voting preferred stock to be issued to certain directors and executive officers. Approval of this Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal is necessary for the Company to implement the Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal. If this Proposal No. 2 is not approved, the Company will not have authority under its Certificate of Incorporation to issue preferred stock, and the Company will not be able to proceed with the designation or issuance of preferred stock described in Proposal No. 4 unless and until stockholders approve preferred stock authorization at a later date.
| 23 |
Anti-Takeover Effects
Although the Blank Check Amendment is prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that such an increase could facilitate future efforts by our management to deter or prevent a change in control of the Company. Although the Board has not recommended the Blank Check Amendment with the intent of using the additional shares to prevent or discourage any actual or threatened takeover of the Company, under certain circumstances, such shares could have an anti-takeover effect. By way of example, the issuance of additional shares could dilute the stock ownership and voting power of persons seeking to obtain control of the Company, or shares could be issued to purchasers who would support the Board in opposing a proposal. In addition, the prospect of future share issuances may have the effect of delaying or discouraging a challenge for control or make it less likely that such a challenge, if attempted, would be successful, including challenges that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner.
The Board and executive officers of the Company do not know of any current effort to obtain control of the Company or to accumulate large amounts of common stock.
No Dissenters’ Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights with respect to the authorization of shares of blank check preferred stock.
Required Vote of Stockholders
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve this proposal.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” Proposal No. 2.
PROPOSAL NO. 3:
THE INCENTIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
Our Board has unanimously approved, and recommends that stockholders approve, an amendment (the “Incentive Plan Amendment”) to the Wellgistics Health, Inc. Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) as described below.
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to 870,122 shares of the Company’s common stock, as adjusted by the Company’s reverse stock split on May 26, 2026, and subject to an automatic annual increase (the “Annual Increase”) described below.
Pursuant to the Incentive Plan Amendment, the Board approved and recommends the authorization of the issuance of up to 6,000 shares of the Super-Voting Preferred under the Incentive Plan, which may be granted or issued pursuant to equity awards in such form and with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board or the Administrator in accordance with the terms of the Incentive Plan (the “Issuance of the Super-Voting Preferred”).
In addition, if this Proposal No. 3 is approved, the Incentive Plan will be amended to provide that, beginning on January 1, 2027 and on each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Incentive Plan will automatically increase by a number of shares equal to up to twenty percent (20%) of the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Administrator (as defined below) (the “Annual Increase”).
The Annual Increase is intended to operate as a maximum potential increase, and the Administrator retains full discretion to determine the actual number of shares, if any, to be added in any given year. The Administrator expects to evaluate the amount of any Annual Increase each year based on the Company’s equity usage, anticipated hiring and retention needs, and dilution considerations, and may determine to provide for a lesser increase or no increase in any given year.
The Board has directed that the Incentive Plan Amendment be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting.
If stockholders do not approve this Proposal No. 3, the Incentive Plan will remain in effect in accordance with its current terms.
| 24 |
Purpose and Background of the Incentive Plan Amendment
The Board believes that equity-based compensation is a critical component of the Company’s overall compensation program and is essential to attracting, retaining and motivating key employees, officers, directors and consultants.
In recommending approval of the Incentive Plan Amendment, the Board considered several factors, including:
| ● | Alignment with Stockholder Interests. Equity awards align the interests of employees, management and directors with those of stockholders by linking compensation to the long-term performance of the Company’s common stock. | |
| ● | Anticipated Growth and Capital Structure Evolution. The Company expects its capitalization and operations to expand over time, including through potential strategic transactions, financings and hiring initiatives. | |
| ● | Flexibility for Multi-Year Equity Compensation. The revised Annual Increase is intended to provide the Company with sufficient flexibility to make equity awards over multiple years without the need for frequent stockholder approvals. | |
| ● | Competitive Compensation Practices. The Board believes that the ability to grant equity awards at competitive levels is essential for the Company to attract and retain qualified personnel in a competitive market environment. |
Dilution Considerations
The Board carefully considered the potential dilutive impact of the Issuance of the Super-Voting Preferred and the revised Annual Increase.
While the Issuance of the Super-Voting Preferred and Annual Increase will increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan, the Board believes that:
| ● | equity compensation reduces the Company’s reliance on cash compensation, | |
| ● | awards granted under the Incentive Plan are generally subject to vesting and/or performance-based conditions, and | |
| ● | the Administrator retains discretion to determine the timing and amount of awards granted, including the ability to reduce or eliminate any Annual Increase in a given year. |
The Board also considered that the Annual Increase is calculated annually based on the Company’s then-outstanding shares, which is intended to scale the share reserve in a manner that reflects the Company’s size and growth over time. The Board believes that this structure provides an appropriate balance between flexibility to support the Company’s growth and the need to responsibly manage stockholder dilution over time.
Summary of the Incentive Plan (as Amended)
The material terms of the Incentive Plan are summarized below. This summary reflects the Incentive Plan as proposed to be amended by the Incentive Plan Amendment.
Share Reserve
If this Proposal No. 3 is approved, the maximum number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance under the Incentive Plan (the “Share Reserve”) will be:
| ● | 870,122 shares, plus | |
| ● | the Annual Increase, beginning January 1, 2027 and on each January 1 thereafter, equal to up to 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as may be determined by the Administrator, plus | |
| ● | Issuance of 6,000 shares of Super-Voting Preferred. |
The Administrator retains full discretion to determine the size of any Annual Increase, including the ability to provide for a lesser increase or no increase in any given year. Shares issued under the Incentive Plan may be newly issued shares or reacquired shares of the Company.
| 25 |
Administration
The Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board (the “Administrator”), which has broad authority to administer the Incentive Plan, including the authority to select participants, determine the types and terms of awards, and interpret the provisions of the Incentive Plan.
Eligibility
Employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Plan.
Types of Awards
The Incentive Plan permits the grant of a variety of equity and equity-based awards, including:
| ● | stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), | |
| ● | stock appreciation rights, | |
| ● | restricted stock, | |
| ● | restricted stock units, | |
| ● | performance-based awards, | |
| ● | stock bonuses and other stock-based awards, and | |
| ● | cash-based awards. |
Vesting and Terms
Awards granted under the Incentive Plan may be subject to time-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions, as determined by the Administrator. The maximum term of stock options and stock appreciation rights is generally ten (10) years.
Adjustments and Corporate Transactions
The Incentive Plan includes customary provisions for adjustments in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events, as well as provisions addressing the treatment of awards in connection with mergers, acquisitions and other corporate transactions.
Amendment and Termination
The Board may amend or terminate the Incentive Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange rules.
No Dissenters’ Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to this proposal.
Required Vote of Stockholders
Approval of this Proposal No. 3 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Incentive Plan Amendment Proposal.
| 26 |
PROPOSAL NO. 4:
SUPER-VOTING PREFERRED STOCK PROPOSAL
Overview
We are asking stockholders to approve (i) the designation of a new non-convertible series of preferred stock designated as “Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock” (the “Super-Voting Preferred”) and (ii) the issuance of shares of Super-Voting Preferred to certain members of our Board of Directors and executive management, as described below, including for purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) and, if applicable, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b). The proposed form of certificate of designation designating 6,000 Super-Voting Preferred Shares is attached as Appendix D (the “Certificate of Designations”) to this Proxy Statement.
The Super-Voting Preferred is intended to support the Company’s long-term strategic objectives by providing voting stability through a security with enhanced voting rights and limited economic rights. The Super-Voting Preferred will have no conversion rights and will not be convertible into shares of common stock or any other security of the Company.
Reasons for issuance of Super-Voting Preferred
The Board believes that establishing the Super-Voting Preferred and issuing a limited number of such shares to directors and management will:
| ● | strengthen the Company’s ability to execute multi-year initiatives without undue influence from short-term market volatility; |
| ● | align long-term strategic decision-making with experienced leadership; and |
| ● | reduce execution risk for critical programs where continuity of control over corporate actions is important. |
We recognize that governance observers may express concern about potential entrenchment or dilution of common-stock voting power. To address these considerations, the Super-Voting Preferred is designed with guardrails described under “Key Terms”.
Key Terms
If approved, the Certificate of Designations for the Super-Voting Preferred would provide substantially the following terms (capitalized terms as used in the Certificate of Designations):
| ● | Voting Rights. Each share of Super-Voting Preferred will be entitled to 10,000 votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, voting together with the common stock as a single class, except as otherwise required by law. The voting power of the Super-Voting Preferred will be materially greater than the voting power of an equivalent number of shares of common stock. | |
| ● | Dividends and Liquidation. The Super-Voting Preferred will have de minimis economic rights: no dividend preference and a liquidation preference of $0.0001 per share, ranking senior to common stock solely with respect to such nominal preference. | |
| ● | No Conversion Rights. The Super-Voting Preferred will have no conversion rights and will not be convertible into shares of common stock or any other security of the Company. No holder will have any right to require conversion, and the Company will have no obligation to reserve common stock for issuance upon conversion of the Super-Voting Preferred. | |
| ● | Transfer Restrictions and Sunset. Shares of Super-Voting Preferred issued to directors and officers may not be transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise disposed of, except to the Company or as approved by a majority of disinterested directors. The final Certificate of Designations should include appropriate sunset or termination provisions, including upon transfer, termination of service, or such other events as the Board determines advisable. | |
| ● | Nasdaq Considerations. Because the issuance will be made to directors and officers, it implicates Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c) (equity compensation to directors/officers) and may also implicate Rule 5635(b) (change-of-control) depending on aggregate voting power. Where applicable, the Company is seeking stockholder approval for the insider issuance and the related voting-power effects. |
Final terms will be set forth in the Certificate of Designations, substantially in the form filed with the SEC if this proposal is approved. The Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal is conditioned upon stockholder approval of the Preferred Stock Authorization Proposal. If Proposal No. 2 is not approved, the Company will not have authority under its Certificate of Incorporation to issue preferred stock, and this Proposal No. 4 will not be implemented even if approved by stockholders.
Potential Effects on Common Stockholders
Approval will concentrate voting power in the hands of the holders of Super-Voting Preferred and could make it more difficult for third parties to effect a change in control or for stockholders to influence corporate governance or strategic direction. The instrument is designed to have minimal economic rights and no conversion rights so as not to dilute common economic interests, but it will dilute common-stock voting power.
No Dissenters’ Rights
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters’ rights with respect to this proposal.
Required Vote of Stockholders
Approval of this Proposal No. 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock entitled to vote thereon.
Board Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the Super-Voting Preferred Stock Proposal.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
In accordance with our Audit Committee Charter, our Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of our Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation, presentation and integrity of our financial statements, accounting and financial reporting principles, internal control over financial reporting, and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, our Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, with management, including a discussion of the quality of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.
Our Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for auditing our financial statements and for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the firm’s judgments as to the quality of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition, our Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from our independent registered public accounting firm required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the firm’s independence from both management and our Company, and considered the compatibility of our independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of non-audit services to our company with its independence.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, but subject to the limitations on the role and responsibility of our Audit Committee referred to below, our Audit Committee recommended to our Board that (and our Board has approved) the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
None of the members of our Audit Committee are professional accountants. Committee members rely on the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, our Audit Committee serves an oversight role and does not in itself determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or appropriate internal control over financial reporting and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, our Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions referred to above do not assure that the audit of our financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), that the financial statements are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or that Suri & Co, Chartered Accountants, is in fact “independent.”
AUDIT COMMITTEE:
Gary Herman
Donald Fell
Marlene Velez
AUDIT FEES
The Audit Committee appointed Suri as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 prohibits an independent public accountant from providing certain non-audit services for an audit client. The Company engages various other professional service providers for these non-audit services as required. Other professional advisory and consulting service providers are engaged where the required technical expertise is specialized and cannot be provided economically by employee staffing. Such services include tax services.
The following table sets forth fees billed by Suri for the fiscal years 2024 and 2025:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
| Audit Fees | $ | 154,000.00 | $ | 96,000.00 | ||||
| All Other Fees | $ | 0.00 | $ | 0.00 | ||||
| Total | $ | 154,000.00 | $ | 96,000.00 | ||||

OTHER MATTERS
The Board knows of no other business that will be presented to the Annual Meeting other than the matters described in this Proxy Statement. The proxy holder also will have discretionary authority to vote on matters properly incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting, including, if the Board determines it is appropriate, to vote to adjourn, postpone, or continue the Annual Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in accordance with the Board’s recommendations. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, proxies will be voted in accordance with the judgment of the person voting the proxies.
We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies in the accompanying form. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may also be solicited by our directors, officers, or other employees, personally or by telephone, facsimile, or email, none of whom will be compensated separately for these solicitation activities. If you do not plan to attend the Annual Meeting, in order that your shares may be represented and in order to assure the required quorum, please sign, date, and return your proxy promptly. In the event you are able to attend the Annual Meeting virtually, at your request, we will cancel your previously submitted proxy.
HOUSEHOLDING
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (for example, brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and other proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a proxy statement or other proxy materials addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as householding, potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards.
If you share an address with another stockholder and have received multiple copies of our proxy materials, you may write or call us at the address and phone number below to request delivery of a single copy of the notice and, if applicable, other proxy materials in the future. We undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the proxy materials, as requested, to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the proxy materials was delivered. If you hold stock as a record stockholder and prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy materials either now or in the future, please contact us at 3000 Bayport Drive, Suite 950, Tampa, FL 33607, Attn: Corporate Secretary. If your stock is held through a brokerage firm or bank and you prefer to receive separate copies of our proxy materials either now or in the future, please contact your brokerage firm or bank.

This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), of Wellgistics Health, Inc. (the “Company”). All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 16 of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company may amend the Plan, subject to stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, or the terms of the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to amend the Plan to authorize the grant and issuance of shares of the Company’s Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock under the Plan, subject to the terms and limitations set forth herein;
WHEREAS, the Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock is intended to be a non-convertible series of preferred stock having the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions, voting powers and other terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation, as defined below; and
WHEREAS, this Amendment shall become effective upon approval by the Company’s stockholders and, with respect to any issuance of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock, only after the Company has taken all necessary corporate actions to authorize such series of preferred stock, including the filing of the Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it effective as of the date hereof, the Plan is hereby amended as follows, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders:
| 1. | Amendment to Definitions
Section 1(c) of the Plan is hereby amended by adding or replacing the following definitions in appropriate alphabetical order: “Certificate of Designation” means the Certificate of Designation of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time. “Preferred Stock Award” means an Award granted under the Plan representing the right to receive shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, and the Certificate of Designation. “Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock” means the Company’s Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions, voting powers and other terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation. The definition of “Award” in Section 1(c) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated as follows: “Award” means any Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Unit, Stock Bonus Award, Other Stock-Based Award, Preferred Stock Award, or any other right, interest or option granted pursuant to the Plan.

| 33 |
| 2. | Amendment to Stock Issuable
Section 3(a) of the Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, to read as follows:
“The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 870,122 shares (as adjusted by the Company’s reverse stock split effective May 26, 2026, the “Initial Limit”), plus on January 1, 2027 and on each January 1 thereafter, the number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be cumulatively increased by twenty percent (20%) of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or such lesser number of shares as approved by the Administrator (the “Annual Increase”), in each case subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c).
In addition, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(c), up to 6,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock shall be reserved and available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan (the “Preferred Share Limit”).
No shares of preferred stock other than shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock may be granted or issued under the Plan unless such issuance is expressly authorized by an amendment to the Plan and approved by the Company’s stockholders to the extent required by applicable law, the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, or the terms of the Plan.
If any shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock issued under the Plan are forfeited, cancelled, redeemed by the Company without consideration, or otherwise terminated without having become vested or without having been fully earned, such shares shall again become available for issuance as Preferred Stock Awards under the Plan, subject to the Preferred Stock Limit and applicable law.
In the event the Company repurchases shares of Stock on the open market, such shares shall not be added to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company. Awards that may be settled solely in cash shall not be counted against the share reserve, nor shall they reduce the shares of Stock authorized for grant to a grantee in any calendar year.” |
| 3. | Preferred Stock Awards
The Plan is hereby amended by adding the following new section:
Preferred Stock Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company’s bylaws, and the Certificate of Designation, the Administrator may grant Awards consisting of shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock to eligible Participants under the Plan.
Each Preferred Stock Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that specifies the number of shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock subject to the Award, the vesting schedule, any forfeiture or repurchase rights, any transfer restrictions, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator determines to be appropriate and consistent with the Plan and the Certificate of Designation.
The voting rights, liquidation preference, dividend rights, redemption rights, transfer restrictions and other powers, preferences, privileges, restrictions and rights of the Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock shall be as set forth in the Certificate of Designation. For avoidance of doubt, shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Plan shall have the voting rights set forth in the Certificate of Designation.
No Preferred Stock Award shall be granted, issued, vested, settled or otherwise become effective unless and until the Company has obtained all approvals required under applicable law, the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Certificate of Designation and the Plan. |
| 34 |
| 4. | No Conversion Rights
The Plan is hereby amended by adding the following provision:
No Conversion Rights. Shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock granted or issued under the Plan shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company. No Award Agreement shall provide for any conversion, exchange, exercise, settlement or similar right with respect to shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock unless the Plan is further amended to authorize such right and such amendment is approved by the Company’s stockholders to the extent required by applicable law, the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, or the terms of the Plan. | |
| 5. | No General Authorization of Preferred Stock
The Plan is hereby amended by adding the following clarification:
Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to authorize the grant or issuance of any series of preferred stock other than the Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock expressly authorized under this Amendment. The grant or issuance under the Plan of any other series of preferred stock shall require a further amendment to the Plan and stockholder approval of such amendment to the extent required by applicable law, the rules of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, or the terms of the Plan. | |
| 6. | Amendment to Adjustment Provisions
Section 3(c) of the Plan relating to adjustments upon stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, reorganizations and similar events is hereby amended by adding the following sentence:
References in this Section to shares available under the Plan, Awards and shares subject to Awards shall include, to the extent applicable, shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock available under the Preferred Stock Limit and shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock subject to Preferred Stock Awards. | |
| 7. | The Plan is hereby amended by adding the following provision:
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, no Award involving Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock shall be granted, issued, vested, settled or otherwise become effective to the extent such action would violate applicable law, the rules or regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed, or any stockholder approval requirement applicable to the Company. | |
| 2. | This Amendment shall become effective as of the date on which it is approved by the Company’s stockholders. No shares of Series A Super-Voting Preferred Stock may be issued under the Plan unless and until the Certificate of Designation has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and has become effective. |
| 3. | Except as set forth herein, the Plan shall remain in full force and effect without modification. |
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned officer hereby certifies the foregoing amendment to the Plan which as of the [ ] day of [ ], 2026.
