DXR Daxor Corporation

PROPOSAL 1. ELECTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Stockholders are being asked to elect seven directors to serve on our Board, to hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors shall have been duly elected and shall have qualified. The proxies will vote all proxies received “FOR” the election as directors of the nominees listed below if no direction to the contrary is given. In the event that any nominee is unable to serve, the proxy solicited herewith may be voted, at the discretion of the management, for the election of another person in his stead. The Board knows of no reason to anticipate that this will occur.

Directors and Officers

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Board. None of the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) has ever been an employee of, or consultant to, the Company or its affiliates. Our officers serve annual terms and are elected on an annual basis.

The Board has an audit committee. The Board does not have a standing compensation committee or a nominating committee or a charter with respect to the process for nominating directors for election to our Board. We qualify as a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules, as the Estate of Joseph Feldschuh, M.D. controls more than 50% of the Company’s voting power, as evidenced by the Company’s ownership records. As a result, the Nasdaq continued listing standards do not require us to have a nominating committee, compensation and stock option committee, or a written charter. In light of our status as a controlled company, our Board determined not to have an independent nominating function, and chose to have the full Board be directly responsible for nominating members of our Board, and not to have a compensation committee, but have the full Board participate directly in consideration of compensation. Accordingly, should the interests of our controlling stockholder differ from those of other stockholders, the other stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance rules for the Nasdaq.

The Company will consider nominees recommended in writing by a stockholder (other than stockholder recommendations of himself or herself) to serve as Directors. The recommendation must contain: (i) the name, address and telephone number of, and number of shares owned by, the stockholder (or group of stockholders), and the related account name, number and broker or account provider name; and (ii) if any such stockholder was not a record owner of the shares at the time the recommendation was submitted, verification acceptable in form and substance to the Company of the stockholder’s ownership of shares at the time the recommendation was made. Stockholders and members of our Board can submit nominees for election to our Board to Michael Feldschuh for his consideration by February 1, 2024 at 109 Meco Lane, Oak Ridge, TN 37830.

The names and business addresses of our nominees, their principal occupations and other affiliations during the past five years, the number of portfolios each oversees and other directorships they hold, or have held during the past five years, are set forth below. Michael Feldschuh is an “interested person” of the Company because he is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Daxor. Jonathan Feldschuh is an “interested person” because he is the Chief Scientific Officer. There is no “Fund Complex” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

There are no contracts, arrangements or understandings between any director and any other person (other than the directors acting solely in such capacity) pursuant to which the director has been or is to be selected as a director.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors is currently comprised of six members, four of whom are independent or disinterested persons, which means that they are not “interested persons” of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. If the nominees are elected, the Board will be comprised of six members, four of whom will be independent directors. The Board has general oversight responsibility with respect to the operation of the Company, and has established an audit committee to assist the Board in performing its oversight responsibilities.

As Chairman of the Board, Michael Feldschuh is the presiding officer at all meetings of the Board of Directors. We do not have a lead independent director. We have determined that our leadership structure is appropriate given the size and structure of the Company.

Audit Committee

The audit committee operates pursuant to a Charter approved by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is available on our website. The Charter sets forth the responsibilities of the audit committee. The functions of the audit committee include, among others, to meet with the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company to review the scope of the Company’s audit, the Company’s financial statements and internal accounting controls, and to meet with management concerning these matters, internal audit activities and other matters. The audit committee currently consists of Edward Feuer, James Lombard and Joy Goudie, all of whom are considered independent under the rules promulgated by The NYSE American and, in addition, are not “interested persons” of the Company as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Edward Feuer serves as Chairperson of the audit committee and has been designated as the audit committee Chairperson of the audit committee and has been designated as the audit committee financial expert under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Audit Committee met 4 times in 2021. Please see “Proposal 2: Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” for a discussion regarding the audit committee’s report.

Board’s Risk Oversight Role

The day-to-day management of various risks relating to our administration and operation is the responsibility of management and other service providers retained by the Board or by management, most of whom employ professional personnel who have risk management responsibilities. The Board oversees this risk management function consistent with and as part of its oversight duties. The Board performs this risk management oversight function directly and, with respect to various matters, through its committees. The Board notes that it is not practicable or possible to identify all of the risks that may impact the Company or to develop procedures or controls that are designed to eliminate all such risk exposures, and that applicable securities law regulations do not contemplate that all such risks be identified and addressed, but that the Board carefully evaluate and address all material risks.

The Board has overseen our development and administration of a compliance program that meets the requirements of Rule 38a-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and the development and administration of a code of ethics program that meets the requirements of Rule 17j-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board meets regularly with our Chief Compliance Officer on all aspects of our compliance requirements.

Qualifications of the Directors

Michael Feldschuh, Jonathan Feldschuh, Edward Feuer, Henry Cremisi, James Lombard, Joy Goudie and Caleb DeRosiers each take a conservative and thoughtful approach to addressing issues facing the Company. Information indicating certain of the specific experience and qualifications of each of these directors relevant to the Board’s belief that they should serve in this capacity is provided in the table above. This combination of skills and attributes led to the conclusion that Michael Feldschuh, Jonathan Feldschuh, Edward Feuer, James Lombard, Joy Goudie, Esq., Henry Cremisi, MD, FACP and Caleb DesRosiers should each serve as a director.

In making independent determinations, the Board observes all criteria for independence established by the SEC, The Nasdaq , and other governing laws and regulations. The Board has determined that each of the directors (other than Michael Feldschuh and Jonathan Feldschuh) (i) is “independent” within the definitions contained in the current The Nasdaq listing standards and our Corporate Governance Guidelines; and has no other “material relationship” with the Company that could interfere with his ability to exercise independent judgment. The Board has determined that Edward Feuer qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the audit committee meets the additional independence standards for audit committee members.

Board Compensation

In June 2022 the outside directors who attended the annual meeting were paid $1,000 each for attendance at the annual meeting and a Board meeting which took place on the same day. The number of directors who attended the annual meeting was 5. In addition, every director who attended a dial-in Board meeting was paid $375 for each meeting which took place respectively in May, September and December 2022. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings, the total number of Board meetings being 4, of the Board during 2022. Other than the officers identified below, Messrs. Michael Feldschuh, Jonathan Feldschuh and Robert J. Michel, there are no officers of the Company that had aggregate compensation in excess of $120,000 during the most recently completed fiscal year.

Required Vote

Stockholders elect directors by a plurality of the votes cast by shares which are entitled to vote in the election, assuming a quorum is present. For this purpose, “plurality” means that the nominees receiving the largest number of votes from the stockholders will be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes (if any) will be counted as votes present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Assuming a quorum is present, any shares that do not vote, whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise, will not affect the election of directors.

Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the election of the nominees to serve as directors. Shares represented by executed but unmarked proxies will be voted FOR the election of all of the nominees.
