GENERAL
This Information Statement is being mailed
on or about June 12, 2020 to all holders of record on June 8, 2020 of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share
(“Class A Common Stock”), of Nano Magic Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nano Magic,” the “Company,”

|
Re-elect
the Company’s incumbent directors (the “Election”);
|

Based
on 7,199,941 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Since
the Board and the holders of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of capital stock
have voted in favor of the Corporate Actions, all corporate actions necessary to authorize the Corporate Actions have been taken.
The
Election will be effective on the 20th calendar day after the date on which this Information Statement and the accompanying notice
are mailed to our stockholders. The Corporate Actions other than the Election will become effective upon the later of (i) the
filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware regarding the Simplification and the
Share Increase, and (iii) the 20th calendar day after the date on which this Information Statement and the accompanying notice
are mailed to our stockholders. We expect the Corporate Actions to be effective on or about July 2, 2020 (the “Effective
Date”). In no event will the Corporate Actions be effective sooner than 20 calendar days after we mail this Information
Statement and accompanying notice to our stockholders. Our Board retains the authority to abandon the Corporate Actions for any
reason at any time prior to the Effective Date. Because the Corporate Actions have already been approved by the holders of a majority
of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock, you are not required to take any action. This
Information Statement provides to you notice that the Corporate Actions have been approved. You will receive no further notice
of the approval nor of the Effective Date of the Corporate Actions other than pursuant to reports which the Company will be required
to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in the future.
The Company’s Class A Common Stock
is quoted on the OTCQB market tier of the OTC Markets Group Inc. under the symbol “NMGX.” The closing price of our
Class A Common Stock as reported on the OTCQB was $1.97 on April 30, 2020. On April 30, 2020, the SEC issued an Order of Suspension
of Trading (the “Order”) of our common stock for the 10-day period from May 1, 2020 to May 14, 2020. A trading
suspension is not an enforcement action and is not a finding of wrongdoing by the SEC. In the Order, the SEC raised questions
regarding the accuracy and adequacy of publicly available information in the marketplace concerning the Company since at least
February 24, 2020, including (a) information in the marketplace claiming that the Company has a patent for a disinfectant that
kills “coronavirus”; and (b) a statement made by the Company on April 7, 2020 regarding the Company’s involvement
in the fight against COVID-19.
With the assistance of outside counsel,
Dickinson Wright, we have notified the SEC that we do not believe the SEC should have ordered a trading suspension and we believe
that all disclosures by the Company in the marketplace are accurate and adequate.
On May 6, 2020, we, through Dickinson
Wright, filed with the SEC a Petition to Terminate Trading Suspension (“Petition”). On May 7, 2020, Dickinson Wright
filed with the SEC a Motion for Expedited Consideration of Petition to Terminate Trading Suspension. In our Petition, we informed
the SEC that neither the Company, nor its officers or directors were the source of the “information in the marketplace”
cited by the SEC The Company believes that the “information” to which the SEC refers is information that may have
been posted by third parties on internet message boards. The Company cautions investors to rely only on information released by
the Company in its current and periodic reports filed with the SEC, and in press releases that the Company, from time to time,
may issue. The Company has a policy of not communicating on internet message boards and a policy of not communicating with persons
seeking to obtain information from the Company outside of the Company’s public filings and official statements. The Company
at no time and in no medium has communicated or published information claiming that “the Company has a patent for a disinfectant
that kills ‘coronavirus.’” The Company has no knowledge of the source of such information entering the marketplace.
The Company’s practice is to cooperate with non-public inquiries conducted by regulators. The Company does have four issued
patents – two issued in April 2017, one issued in November 2018, and one issued in October 2019 – relating to the
Company’s work in disinfectants. The testing on the Company’s formulations for the four patents all occurred prior
to the filing in 2015 of the patent applications.

Dissenters’
Rights

Action
By Written Consent of the Approving Stockholders
Delaware law provides that the written consent
of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary
to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted can approve an action
in lieu of conducting an annual or special stockholders’ meeting convened for the specific purpose of the action. Delaware
law also requires that if an action is approved by written consent, a company must provide prompt notice to the stockholders of
record who have not consented in writing to such action and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled
to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number
of holders to take the action were delivered to a company. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding
a special meeting and in order to implement the actions disclosed herein as quickly as possible which we believe to be in the
best interests of the Company and our stockholders, we chose to obtain the written consent of the Approving Stockholders to
approve the Corporate Actions.
The
Corporate Actions cannot be taken until at least 20 calendar days after this Information Statement has first been sent or given
to our stockholders.
ACTION
ONE: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In
accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Election will become effective 20 days after we mail this notice and the
accompanying Information Statement to our stockholders. The Company anticipates that the effective date of the Election will be
July 2, 2020.

Delinquent
Section 16(a) Reports
Based
solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and Forms 5 and amendments
thereto furnished to us with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as well as any written representation from a
reporting person that no Form 5 is required, we are not aware that any 10% or greater shareholder or any officer or director serving
on the May 8, 2020 failed to file on a timely basis, as disclosed in the aforementioned Forms, reports required by Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.
Code
of Ethics
We
have adopted a code of ethics (as such term is defined in Item 406 of Regulation S-K) (the “Code of Ethics”)
that applies to our executive officers and other employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial
officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of the Code of Ethics will
be sent, free of charge, to any person who sends a written request for a copy to Jeanne Rickert, Secretary, Nano Magic Inc., 750
Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302.
The
Code of Ethics includes in prohibited transactions trading derivative securities based on our stock, hedging transactions
related to our stock, margin accounts, pledges of our stock and other speculative transactions.
We
intend to disclose any amendments to our code of ethics, or waivers of its requirements, on our website (www.nanomagic.com).
Director
Independence
Our securities
are not quoted on an exchange that requires a majority of the members of our board of directors to be independent and we are not
currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include
“independent” directors. Similarly, we are not required to establish or maintain an Audit Committee or other committee
of our Board of Directors. Nonetheless, as a matter of corporate governance best practice,
we have established an Audit Committee (as described below) and our board has determined that Messrs. Lunsford and Westerman
are “independent” as defined by the NASDAQ Marketplace rules.
Board
Committees
The
Board does not have standing compensation or nominating committees. The Board does not believe these committees are necessary
based on the size of our company and the current levels of compensation to corporate officers. The entire Board participates in
the consideration of compensation issues relating to the principal executive officer. We plan to consider establishing
compensation and nominating committees at the appropriate time.
Procedures
for Recommending Nominating and Evaluating Director Candidates
A stockholder
holding shares with an aggregate value of at least $2,000 may nominate a director by delivering a notice that sets forth: (i)
the name and address of the stockholder making the nomination; (ii) the name, age, principal occupation or employment, business
address and residence address of each person to be nominated; (iii) the class and number of shares of stock held of record, owned
beneficially and represented by proxy by the stockholder or by any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, under
common control with or acting in concert with the stockholder (a “Stockholder Associated Person”), and by each person
to be nominated as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date of such notice; (iv) a description of all contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships between (a) the stockholder making the nomination and any Stockholder Associated
Person that relate to the nomination, (b) the stockholder making the nomination and the proposed nominee and (c) the stockholder
making the nomination, the proposed nominee or any Stockholder Associated Person and any other person or persons that relate to
the nomination; (v) all other information regarding each nominee that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement;
and (vi) the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the corporation if elected and the nominee’s representation
that the nominee is qualified under section 3.06 of the Bylaws of the Corporation. Section 3.06 of the Bylaws states that a person
is not qualified as a director if the person is a party to any compensatory, payment or other financial agreement, arrangement
or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation, or has received any such compensation or other payment
from any person or entity other than the Corporation, in each case in connection with candidacy or service as a director of the
Corporation. The stockholder’s notice must be received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date of
the stockholder meeting; except that, if the Corporation gives less than 75 days’ notice of the meeting date or if public
disclosure of the date of the meeting is made less than 75 days before the meeting, the notice must be received not later than
the close of business the 10th day following the earlier of the day on which the notice of the date of meeting was
mailed or the day the date of the meeting was announced publicly. Directors can also nominate candidates for director nominees.
Candidates for director
nominees are reviewed in the context of the current composition of the Board and the operating and strategic challenges that we
face in the next few years. In conducting this assessment, we consider skills, diversity, age, and such other factors as it deems
appropriate given the current needs of the Board and our company, to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.
We will seek out individuals with relevant experience to provide strategic guidance and to advise management as we operate our
business and introduce new products.
Audit
Committee
In
February 2016, the Board created an audit committee. It is charged with overseeing (1) the integrity of our financial statements
and accounting and financial reporting processes; (2) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (3) the performance
of our independent auditor and the qualifications and independence of that firm; (4) our system of disclosure, internal controls
and compliance with our Code of Ethics. Howard Westerman is the sole director on the audit committee. He is not an audit
committee financial expert, but our Board has determined that Mr. Westerman is independent as defined in the NASDAQ Marketplace
rules.
Meeting
Attendance
Our
Board met six times during 2019. All Directors attended all meetings with the exception of Mr. Tom Berman who did not participate
in the meeting held to discuss and determine his compensation. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, all Board members
attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all
Board committees on which each Board member served.
Stockholder
Communications
Stockholders
can send communications to the directors by e-mail to j.rickert@nanomagic.com indicating in the subject line that the communication
is to the attention of the directors or to the attention of a specific director. Ms. Rickert reviews all these communications
with the Chairman to determine what response is necessary and which to share with the other directors.
Board
Leadership Structure and Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The
Chairman of our Board is now a separate position
from that of our Chief Executive Officer. The two roles were separated after our present Chief Executive Officer was elected
to that position in February 2020, and the then Chief Executive Officer and Chairman retained his role as Chairman.
We believe having a separate Chairman who has previously been in the Chief Executive Officer role provides greater
assurance of a continuity in the vision for our business.
Risk
is inherent within every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a variety
of risks. As a manufacturing company with nanotechnology products, operational risks relating to production, sources of supply
and quality control are significant. Given our history of operating losses and our small size, liquidity risk is also significant.
Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, while the Board has responsibility for the oversight
of risk management. Taking its risk oversight role, the Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk
management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. To do this, our directors
discuss with management our strategy and risks we face.
Executive
Compensation
The
table below sets forth certain compensation information for: (i) our principal executive officer or other individual serving in
a similar capacity during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2019; (ii) our two most highly compensated executive officers other
than our principal executive officers who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2019 whose compensation exceed $100,000;
and (iii) up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that the individual was
not serving as an executive officer at December 31, 2019. Compensation information is shown for the fiscal years ended December
31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
We
sometimes refer to these individuals to as the “named executive officers” as that term is defined under Rule 3b-7
of the Securities Exchange Act. The value attributable to any stock or option awards is computed in accordance with the Financial
Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718. None of our named executive
officers received compensation in the form of Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation or Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings
in fiscal 2019. The value of stock awards represents the grant date fair value of awards granted with respect to fiscal 2019 in
accordance with ASC Topic 718. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to
service-based vesting conditions.
For
stock awards, these shares were valued on the grant date based on the quoted trading price of the stock on that date.

of this page 12. The fair value of the option was calculated using the Black-Scholes
method. The inputs used in the calculation are shown below. The expected term represents
the period of time that the option is expected to be outstanding. Compensation expense
related to the option award for the year ending 2019 was $59,091. There are 325,000 shares unvested that will, if they vest, result in $153,635 of future compensation expense
to be recorded.

Mr. Fink has no employment agreement. Mr.
Berman’s employment contract runs from April 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020. His salary was $12,500 per month in 2019
and increased to $15,000 per month for 2020. Mr. Berman is also entitled to a cash bonus of 10% of the amount by which revenue
at our subsidiary Nano Magic LLC for any calendar quarter of 2019 or 2020 exceeds $450,000, subject to an annual
cap on the cash bonus payment of $200,000 for each year. If he is terminated other than for cause, he will still be entitled to
earn the bonus for 2020, but the bonus rate will only be 5% for revenue booked after his departure. If the cap on the cash
payment for the bonus is reached, Mr. Berman will vest in options to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of stock at a price
of $0.55 per share. Mr. Berman did not earn any cash bonus in 2019 and the options associated with the bonus cap in 2019 were
forfeited.

ACTION
TWO: THE SIMPLIFICATION
In
accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Simplification will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”),
but not sooner than 20 days after we mail this notice and the accompanying Information Statement to our stockholders. The Company
anticipates that the effective date of the Simplification will be July 2, 2020.
THE
COMMON STOCK CHANGES WILL NOT CHANGE YOUR PROPORTIONATE EQUITY INTEREST IN THE COMPANY.
Reasons
for the Simplification
We
no longer have any Class B common stock or Class Z common stock outstanding and the provisions in our certificate of incorporation
describing the Class B common stock and the Class Z common stock and the different rights granted to them no longer have any relevance.
The Board believes that leaving these provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation has the potential to create confusion about
our capital structure and could contribute to a lack of investor interest in the Company. Therefore, the Board determined to simplify
our common stock structure by eliminating the Class B common stock and the Class Z common stock along with those provisions that
delineate any special rights granted to holders of Class B common stock or Class Z common stock. Following the amendment and restatement,
the Class A Common Stock will be the only common stock and it will be referred to simply as “common stock.” Our Board
believes that the Simplification will make our capital structure easier to understand and could make it easier to generate interest
in the Company. The Board is unaware of any potential negative consequences for the Simplification.
The
following chart depicts the common stock capital structure of the Company both before and after the Simplification:

anticipate that the Simplification will become effective on July 2, 2020, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.
When the Simplification become effective, each stock certificate representing Class A Common Stock will be deemed for all corporate
purposes to evidence ownership of shares of common stock.
Generally,
under our Certificate of Incorporation our shares are not certificated and most holders of our Class A Common Stock hold shares
electronically in book entry form with our transfer agent, Interwest Transfer Company, Inc. No new stock certificates will be
issued as a result of the Simplification. Certificates for Class A Common Stock will be recognized as representing shares of common
stock once the Simplification become effective.
ACTION
THREE: THE SHARE INCREASE
In
accordance with Rule 14c-2 under the Exchange Act, the Share Increase will become effective upon the filing of the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Annex A (the “Certificate of Amendment”),
but not sooner than 20 days after we mail this notice and the accompanying Information Statement to our stockholders. The Company
anticipates that the effective date of the Share Increase will be July 2, 2020.
Reasons
for the Share Increase
The Board believes it is in the Company’s best interests to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 7,200,000 shares to 30,000,000 shares. The Share Increase is required
to enable the Company to issue common stock under subscriptions that have been paid and to permit delivery of the underlying stock
if outstanding warrants and options are exercised. The Share Increase is sufficiently large that it will also give us greater flexibility
in considering and planning for future corporate needs, including, but not limited to, potential strategic transactions, including
mergers, acquisitions and business combinations, stock dividends, grants under equity compensation plans, stock splits or financings,
as well as other general corporate transactions. The Board believes that additional authorized shares of common stock will enable
us to take timely advantage of acquisition opportunities that become available to us, as well as market conditions and favorable
financing. Except as otherwise required by law, the newly authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at the
discretion of our Board (without further action by the stockholders) for various future corporate needs, including those outlined
above. While effecting the Share Increase would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other
rights of existing stockholders, any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our common stock may, among other things,
dilute the earnings per share of our common stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding equity at the time the additional
shares are issued.
Any
newly authorized shares of common stock will be identical to the shares of Class A Common Stock now authorized and outstanding.
The Share Increase will not affect the rights of current holders of our Class A Common Stock, none of whom have preemptive or
similar rights to acquire the newly authorized shares.
Board
Discretion to Implement the Share Increase
The
Board will implement the Share Increase only upon a determination that the Share Increase is in the best interests of the stockholders
at that time. The Board of Directors may determine, in its sole discretion, not to implement the Share Increase and not to file
any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation.
Effects
of Share Increase
The
practical effect of the Share Increase will be to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 7,200,000 to 30,000,000.
The number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding will not change and the Share Increase will not affect any stockholder’s
percentage ownership interest in the Company or proportionate voting power.
The
following chart depicts the common stock capital structure of the Company both before and after the Simplification and the Share
Increase, assuming the Simplification and the Share Increase are effected:

Of the
shares available to issue following the Simplification and Share Increase, approximately 279,283 will be issued under subscriptions
already paid for and 4,918,226 will be reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options and warrants. This leaves approximately
17,602,550 shares for future issuance. Those shares may be issued as determined by the directors from time to time for any
proper corporate purpose. This might include, without limitation, issuance in public or private sales for cash as a means
of obtaining additional capital for use in our business and operations, and issuance as part or all of the consideration required
to be paid by us for acquisitions of other businesses or assets or as compensation for officers, directors, employees or consultants.
The additional shares can provide flexibility in structuring the terms of any future agreements, as well as any future financing
and recapitalization efforts.
|
Convertible
Securities
When
the Simplification and Share Increase go into effect, all outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities entitling
holders thereof to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock would entitle such holders to receive, upon exercise of their securities,
the same number of shares of common stock which such holders may purchase upon exercise or conversion of their securities. The
exercise or conversion price of outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities of the Company will not be affected.
Par
Value Per Share of Common Stock
Neither
the Simplification nor the Share Increase changes the par value of the common stock.
Effect
on Voting Rights of, and Dividends on, Common Stock
There
is no change to the voting rights and other rights of the holders of common stock as a result of the Simplification and Share
Increase. The percentage of outstanding shares owned by each stockholder prior to the Simplification and Share Increase will remain
the same. However, although the Share Increase would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power
or other rights of existing stockholders, any future issuance of additional authorized shares of our common stock may, among other
things, dilute the earnings per share of our common stock and the equity and voting rights of those holding equity at the time
the additional shares are issued.
Effect
on Liquidity
There
will be no change in the number of outstanding shares of common stock from the Simplification or the Share Increase. Therefore,
we do not anticipate any immediate impact on the liquidity in our common stock.
No
Appraisal Rights
Our
stockholders will not have any right to elect to have the fair value of their shares judicially appraised and paid to them in
cash in connection with, or as a result of, the Simplification or the Share Increase.
Effective
Date of the New Stock Authorization
We
intend to effectuate the Simplification and the Share Increase on or about July 2, 2020. However, the exact timing of the
Simplification and the Share Increase will be determined by the Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the
most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder
approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Simplification and the Share Increase
if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.
The
Simplification and the Share Increase will become effective upon the filing of Certificate of Amendment and its acceptance for
record by, the Delaware Secretary of State but in no event prior to the end of the 20-day period following the date on which this
Information Statement is mailed first to our stockholders.
INTEREST
OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON
No
director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee, or any
other person, has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the Corporate Actions that is not shared by all other stockholders.

hard copies of the materials are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders

upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single
copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification
stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of
the Information Statement, to the Company at 750 Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan 48302, ATTN: Jeanne Rickert or calling

If
multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and
would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the
Company at, the address and phone number in the preceding paragraph. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address
received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy
of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to
the address or phone number provided in the preceding paragraph.
MISCELLANEOUS
Additional
copies of this Information Statement may be obtained at no charge by writing to us at 750 Denison Court, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

to or is otherwise involved in an action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other
(including an action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation) (collectively, a “proceeding”),
by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or an administrator or fiduciary with
respect to any employee benefit plan of the Corporation, or serves or served at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent, or as an administrator or fiduciary of an employee benefit plan, of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise (a “beneficiary”) against all expense, liability and loss (including
attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (or comparable non-U.S. law) excise taxes
or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such beneficiary in connection therewith; except

if the DGCL so requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an beneficiary in his or her capacity as a director or officer
(and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such beneficiary, including, without limitation, service

to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further
right to appeal that such beneficiary is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The
rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in Sections 8.1 and 8.2 shall be contract rights and such
rights shall continue as to a beneficiary who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the beneficiary’s
heirs, executors and administrators. No amendment to this Article 8 that limits the Corporation’s obligation regarding advancement
of expenses shall have any effect on that right for a claim arising out of an act or omission that occurs prior to the date of
the amendment.
Section
8.3. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to
time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation
or an administrator or fiduciary with respect to any employee benefit plan to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article
8 with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.
Section
8.4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. Any indemnification or advancement of expenses made pursuant to this Article 8 shall not be
exclusive of any other right that any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, this Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, the Bylaws or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
Section

liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability
or loss under the DGCL.

an action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the
