PROXY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This proxy statement and the accompanying proxy are made available by SCWorx Corp. (the “Company”), to the holders of record of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, (the “Common Stock”), commencing on or about November 12, 2021. The accompanying proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), for use at the Annual Meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Meeting”), to be held at 9:00 am on December 22, 2021, at the Ipswich Room of the DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore 50 Ferncroft Road, Danvers, MA 01923 and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. Directors, officers and employees of the Company may also assist in the solicitation of proxies by mail, e-mail, telephone, telefax, in person or otherwise, without additional compensation. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be requested to forward proxy soliciting materials to the owners of stock held in their names and the Company will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of such proxy materials.
The Board has fixed October 28, 2021 as the record date for the Meeting (the “Record Date”). Only stockholders of record on the Record Date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. On October 28, 2021, there were 11,223,151 shares of Common Stock and 39,810 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible into 222,402 shares of Common Stock) issued and outstanding. Each share of Common Stock and each share of Series A Preferred Stock (on an as converted basis) is entitled to one vote per share.
The Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that a quorum shall consist of the holders of at least 33.33% of the shares of each class, and series of each class, to the extent applicable (unless more than one class and or series votes as a class, in which case a majority of the shares voting as a class) of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. If such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders, entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice (other than the announcement at the meeting) until a date and time that a quorum shall be present. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
The Company’s amended and restated bylaws provide that directors are to be elected by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a majority. Shares present at the Meeting that are not voted for a particular nominee or shares present by proxy where the stockholder properly withheld authority to vote for such nominee will not be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a majority.
In all matters, like the election of directors, the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the shares voted on any matter shall be sufficient for the approval of the proposals in this proxy statement and any other business which may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
All shares of Common Stock represented in person or by valid proxies received by the Company prior to the date of, or at, the Meeting, and not revoked, will be voted as specified in the proxies or voting instructions. Votes that are left blank will be voted as recommended by the Board. With regard to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting, votes will be cast at the discretion of the proxies.
Broker non-votes occur when a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters.
1
In the event that a broker, bank, or other agent indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote certain shares on a non-routine proposal, then those shares will be treated as broker non-votes. We believe that Proposal No. 1 relating to the election of directors is a non-routine proposal and Proposal No. 2, with respect to the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm, is a routine matter; therefore, your broker, bank or other agent will not be entitled to vote on Proposal No. 1 at the Meeting without your instructions. Broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. Other than for the purpose of establishing a quorum, as discussed above, broker non-votes will not be counted as entitled to be voted and will therefore not affect the outcome of the matters to be voted thereon.
Any stockholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted, by written notice addressed to and received by our Chief Executive Officer, by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by electing to vote in person at the Meeting. The mere presence at the Meeting of the person appointing a proxy does not, however, revoke the appointment.
IMPORTANT: If your shares are held in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, nominee or other institution, you should provide instructions to your broker, bank, nominee or other institution on how to vote your shares. Please contact the person responsible for your account and give instructions for a proxy to be completed for your shares.
Our website address is included several times in this proxy statement as a textual reference only and the information in our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Meeting, five directors are to be elected, which number shall constitute our entire Board, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. Pursuant to our bylaws, as amended, directors are to be elected by a majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. This means that the five candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative votes at the Meeting will be elected as directors. Only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward that nominee’s achievement of a majority. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named or for persons other than the named nominees.
Unless otherwise specified in the proxy, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy to vote the stock represented thereby for the election as directors, each of the nominees whose names and biographies appear below. All of the nominees whose names and biographies appear below are presently our directors. In the event any of the nominees should become unavailable or unable to serve as a director, it is intended that votes will be cast for a substitute nominee designated by the Board. The Board has no reason to believe that the nominees named will be unable to serve if elected. Each nominee has consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve if elected.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF BFBORGERS CPA PC AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2021.
The audit committee of our Board (the “Audit Committee”) has selected BFBorgers CPA PC as our independent registered public accounting firm (the “Independent Auditors”) for the current fiscal year, and is seeking ratification by our stockholders at the Meeting. We do not expect to have a representative of the Independent Auditors attending the Meeting.
Neither our by-laws, our other governing documents, nor other law requires stockholder ratification of the selection of the Independent Auditors as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Audit Committee is submitting the selection of the Independent Auditors to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the Independent Auditors. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may decide to appoint a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Required Vote
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting is required for the ratification of the selection of the independent registered public accounting firm. Broker non-votes will not impact the outcome of the vote on this proposal but will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Committees and Meetings of Our Board of Directors
The Board held eighteen meetings and took action by consent six times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”). Throughout this period, each member of our Board who was a director in Fiscal 2020 attended or participated in all of the total number of meetings of our Board held during the period for which such person has served as a director, and the total number of meetings held by all committees of our Board on which each the director served during the periods such director served. Our Board has three standing committees: The Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Compensation Committee. The current members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Irby, Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Ferrara. Mr. Irby is the current Chairman of the Compensation Committee and our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are “independent” as defined by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that is posted on our website at www.scworx.com.
The primary responsibilities of our Compensation Committee include:
• Reviewing and recommending to our Board of the annual base compensation, the annual incentive bonus, equity compensation, employment agreements and any other benefits of our executive officers;
• Administering our equity-based plans and exercising all rights authority and functions of the Board under all of the Company’s equity compensation plans, including without limitation, the authority to interpret the terms thereof, to grant options thereunder and to make stock awards thereunder; and
• Annually reviewing and making recommendations to our Board with respect to the compensation policy for such other officers as directed by our Board.
The Compensation Committee meets, as often as it deems necessary, without the presence of any executive officer whose compensation it is then approving.
Our Compensation Committee held two meetings during 2020.
Audit Committee. The current members of our Audit Committee are Mr. Ferrara, Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Wallitt. Mr. Horowitz is the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and our board of directors has determined that Mr. Horowitz is an “Audit Committee financial expert” and that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as defined by the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that is posted on our website at www.scworx.com.
The primary responsibilities of our Audit Committee include:
• Appointing, compensating and retaining our registered independent public accounting firm;
• Overseeing the work performed by any outside accounting firm;
• Assisting the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities by reviewing: (i) the financial reports provided by us to the SEC, our stockholders or to the general public, and (ii) our internal financial and accounting controls; and
• Recommending, establishing and monitoring procedures designed to improve the quality and reliability of the disclosure of our financial condition and results of operations.
Our Audit Committee held four meetings during 2020.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The current members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mr. Horowitz, Mr Ferrara, Mr. Hannibal and Mr. Irby. Mr. Ferrara is the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members
6
of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee with the exception of Mr. Hannibal are “independent” as defined by Nasdaq rules and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter that is posted on our website at www.scworx.com. The primary responsibilities of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee include:
• Assisting the Board in, among other things, effecting Board organization, membership and function including identifying qualified Board nominees; effecting the organization, membership and function of Board committees including composition and recommendation of qualified candidates; establishment of and subsequent periodic evaluation of successor planning for the chief executive officer and other executive officers; development and evaluation of criteria for Board membership such as overall qualifications, term limits, age limits and independence; and oversight of compliance with applicable corporate governance guidelines; and
• Identifying and evaluating the qualifications of all candidates for nomination for election as directors.
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings/took action by consent zero times during 2020.
Potential nominees will be identified by the Board based on the criteria, skills and qualifications determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In considering whether to recommend any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board’s slate of recommended director nominees, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will apply criteria including the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, age, experience, diligence, conflicts of interest and the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders. No particular criteria will be a prerequisite or will be assigned a specific weight, nor do we have a diversity policy. We believe that the backgrounds and qualifications of our directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will result in a well-rounded board of directors and allow the Board to fulfill its responsibilities.
The Company has never received communications from stockholders recommending individuals to any of our independent directors. Therefore, we do not yet have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by stockholders. In 2020, we did not pay a fee to any third party to identify or evaluate, or assist in identifying or evaluating, potential nominees for our Board. We have not received any recommendations from stockholders for Board nominees. All of the nominees for election at the Meeting are current members of our Board.
Board Leadership Structure. Our Board leadership structure had historically included the combined positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. While Marc Schessel was the CEO, the Company believed that this structure was appropriate for a company of our size and complexity because the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (a) was most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, (b) possessed detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company, and was thus best positioned to develop agendas to ensure the Board’s time and attention are focused on matters which are critical to the Company, and (c) conveyed a clear, cohesive message to our stockholders, employees and industry partners. Alton Irby is our current Chairman and, effective after the Annual Meeting, will continue to serve as the Company’s Chairman of the Board.
In his position as Chairman of the Board, Mr. Irby will be responsible for setting the agenda and priorities of the Board. As President and CEO, Mr. Timothy Hannibal leads our day-to-day business operations and is accountable directly to the full Board. Mr Christopher Kohler, our CFO, reports to Mr. Hannibal and is responsible for overseeing the financial operations of the Company. We believe that this structure provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company.
Risk Oversight. The Board, including the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating/Governance Committee, periodically reviews and assesses the significant risks to the Company. Our management is responsible for the Company’s risk management process and the day-to-day supervision and mitigation of risks. These risks include strategic, operational, competitive, financial, legal and regulatory risks. Our Board leadership structure, together with the frequent interaction between our directors and management, assists in this effort. Communication between our Board and management regarding long-term strategic planning and short-term operational practices include matters of material risk inherent in our business.
7
The Board plays an active role, as a whole and at the committee level, in overseeing management of the Company’s risks. Each of our Board committees is focused on specific risks within their areas of responsibility, but the Board believes that the overall enterprise risk management process is more properly overseen by all of the members of the Board. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of financial and accounting risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements. The Nominating and Governance Committee is responsible for setting standards for and recommending director nominees to the Board and advising the Board about corporate governance matters. While each committee is responsible for the evaluation and management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed through committee reports. The Board incorporates the insight provided by these reports into its overall risk management analysis.
The Board administers its risk oversight responsibilities through the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, who, together with management representatives of the relevant functional areas review and assess the operations of the Company as well as operating management’s identification, assessment and mitigation of the material risks affecting our operations.
8
COMMUNICATING WITH OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Our Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders and will respond if and as appropriate. Timothy Hannibal, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, with the assistance of our outside counsel, has been primarily responsible for monitoring communications from our stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the other directors as he considers appropriate. Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that Mr. Hannibal considers to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.
Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to our Board should address such communications to: SCWorx Corp., c/o Timothy A. Hannibal, Chief Executive Officer, at the address on the first page of this proxy statement.
ATTENDANCE AT SPECIAL AND ANNUAL STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS
We encourage our directors to attend our special and annual stockholders’ meetings.

The following is a summary of the business experience of each of our executive officers.
Timothy A. Hannibal. Mr. Hannibal, 53, is a seasoned technology executive and entrepreneur, with nearly 30 years’ experience in SaaS and cloud technology, driving revenue, go-to-market strategies, business development and mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Hannibal joined the Company in January 2019 and currently serves as its Chief Executive Officer.

At Primrose, Mr. Hannibal was responsible for overseeing marketing, sales and operations, including executing the Company’s business plan. Mr. Hannibal has a successful track record of growth and management at both startup and national companies.
Mr. Kohler, 40, has over 15 years of experience serving in a wide variety roles in the finance and accounting sectors. Mr. Kohler is the founder and CEO of Kohler Consulting, Inc., which he founded in 2012. The firm, through Mr. Kohler, provides outsourced CFO and advisory services to private and public companies, with a focus on small cap and start-up businesses.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, statements of changes in beneficial ownership and annual statements of changes in beneficial ownership with respect to their ownership of the Company’s securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports filed with the SEC, and on written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with the applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, and without conducting an independent investigation of our own, we believe that with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, our officers and directors, and all of the persons known to us to beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock filed all required reports on a timely basis.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
In the course of our oversight of the Company’s financial reporting process, we have: (1) reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for Fiscal 2020; (2) discussed with the Independent Auditors the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC; and (3) received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with the independent accountant the independent accountant’s independence.
Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for filing with the SEC.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Our policy is to enter into transactions with related parties on terms that are on the whole no less favorable to us than those that would be available from unaffiliated parties at arm’s length. Based on our experience in the business sectors in which we operate and the terms of our transactions with unaffiliated third parties, we believe that all of the transactions described below met this policy standard at the time they occurred.
On July 24, 2020, the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer, Marc Schessel, transferred 20,000 of his personally held common shares to Mark Shefts, a Director. The company deemed this transfer to be in consideration for services and recorded a non-cash expense of $115,100 for the fair value of the shares transferred.
During April, 2020, a company affiliated with a shareholder advanced $475,000 in cash to the supplier of test kits for their purchase. In May 2021, the company returned the test kits pursuant to its sales contract in full satisfaction of the $475,000 previously advanced.
On January 19, 2021, Marc. S. Schessel’s employment as CEO of SCWorx, Corp. ceased by mutual agreement, and the Company and Mr. Schessel concurrently entered into a consulting agreement (“Consulting Agreement”) under which Mr. Schessel provides consulting services to the Company. The Consulting Agreement provides for annual consulting fees of $295,000. In addition, such agreement provides for cash and equity bonuses based on revenue generation. The Consulting Agreement is for a term of two years, but may be terminated by the Company for “cause” (as defined) or by either party for any reason or no reason upon sixty days prior notice. The Consulting Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions which are applicable during the term of the Consulting Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter.
Except as described above, no director, executive officer, principal stockholder holding at least 5% of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction, during 2021 or 2020 in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds $103,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last two completed fiscal years.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
We intend to mail this proxy statement, the accompanying proxy card and the 2020 annual report on or about November 12, 2021 to all stockholders of record on the Record Date that are entitled to vote. Stockholders who wish to submit proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to our next annual meeting of stockholders must advise our Secretary of such proposals in writing by July 1, 2022.
Stockholders who wish to present a proposal at our next annual meeting of stockholders without inclusion of such proposal in our proxy materials must advise our Secretary of such proposals in writing by August 1, 2021.
If we do not receive notice of a stockholder proposal within this timeframe, our management will use its discretionary authority to vote the shares they represent, as the Board may recommend. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these requirements.
