We regularly monitor developments in the area of corporate governance.

 

Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

 

We have adopted a Corporate Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all of our associates, as well as each of our directors and certain persons performing services for us. The Code of Conduct addresses, among other things, competition and fair dealing, conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of Company assets, government relations, compliance with laws, rules and regulations and the process for reporting violations of the Code of Conduct, employee misconduct, improper conflicts of interest or other violations. Our Code of Conduct is available on our website at https://ir.trugolf.com/governance-documents/ under the “Corporate Governance” tab. We intend to disclose any amendments to, or waivers from, our Code of Conduct at the same web address provided above.

 

Board Composition

 

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five members. All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms then expire are elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the next annual meeting following election.

 

Board Diversity

 

We have no formal policy regarding Board diversity. The Company values diversity on a Company-wide basis and seeks to achieve a mix of directors that represent a diversity of background and experience, including with respect to age, gender, race, ethnicity, and occupation. Although the Board does not establish specific goals with respect to diversity, the Board’s overall diversity is a significant consideration in the director nomination process.

 

 

 

 

Director Independence

 

Our Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors, as “independence,” is defined by the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and by the SEC. Our Board of Directors has concluded that each of Messrs. Polanen, Redmer, and Mr. Russell are “independent”, having concluded that any relationship between such director and our company, in its opinion, does not interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Mr. Jones is an employee director and Mr. Adams was an employee of the Company.

 

Board Committees, Meetings and Attendance

 

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the Board held 1 meeting. We expect our directors to attend Board meetings, meetings of any committees and subcommittees on which they serve, and each annual meeting of stockholders, either in person or by teleconference. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, each director attended, either in person or telephonically, at least 100% of the aggregate Board meetings and meetings of committees on which he served during his tenure as a director or committee member, and none of our directors attended the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board has adopted a policy under which each member of the Board is encouraged to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders.

 

The Board delegates various responsibilities and authority to different Board committees. Committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full Board. Currently, the Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Governance and Nominating Committee. Assignments are re-evaluated annually. Each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee operate under a charter that has been approved by our Board. The current charter of each of these committees is available on our website at https://ir.trugolf.com/governance-documents in the Investor Resources and Corporate Governance section. The Board has yet to adopt a written charter for the Governance and Nominating Committee.

Director Nominations

 

We receive suggestions for potential director nominees from many sources, including members of the Board, advisors, and stockholders. Any such nominations, together with appropriate biographical information, should be submitted to the Chairperson of the Governance and Nominating Committee in the manner discussed below. Any candidates submitted by a stockholder or stockholder group are reviewed and considered in the same manner as all other candidates.

 

Qualifications for consideration as a Board nominee may vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing board composition. However, minimum qualifications include high level leadership experience in business activities, breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Company, experience on other boards of directors, preferably public company boards, and time available for meetings and consultation on Company matters. Our Governance and Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director candidates, but seeks a diverse group of candidates who possess the background, skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the Board, to the Company and our stockholders. Candidates whose evaluations are favorable are recommended by our Governance and Nominating Committee to the full Board for consideration. The full Board selects and recommends candidates for nomination as directors for stockholders to consider and vote upon at the annual meeting.

 

A stockholder wishing to nominate a candidate for election to our Board of Directors at any annual meeting at which the Board of Directors has determined that one or more directors will be elected must submit a written notice of his or her nomination of a candidate to the Chairperson of the Governance and Nominating Committee (c/o the Corporate Secretary), providing the candidates name, biographical data and other relevant information together with a consent from the nominee.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

 

The positions of Chairman of the Board and principal executive officer (“PEO”) were filled by the same individual, Mr. Jones, until March 2026. Subsequent to March 2026. Mr. Jones now serves as our Chief Executive Officer and our PEO, and Mr. Adams serves as our Chairman of the Board. The Board believes its current leadership structure enables it to effectively provide oversight with respect to such risks. The Board believes that its current governance practices provide adequate safeguards against any potential risks including:

 

  three of the five current directors of the Company are independent directors;
  all of the members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent directors; and
  the Board and its committees remain in close contact with, and receive reports on, various aspects of the Company’s management and enterprise risk directly from, the Company’s senior management and independent auditors.

 

 

 

 

Our Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the Company’s risk management processes on behalf of the full Board. The Audit Committee receives reports from management concerning the Company’s assessment of risks. In addition, the Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board, which also considers the Company’s risk profile. The Audit Committee and the full Board focus on the most significant risks facing the Company and the Company’s general risk management strategy. In addition, as part of its oversight of our Company’s executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee considers the impact of such program, and the incentives created by the compensation awards that it administers, on our Company’s risk profile. In addition, the Compensation Committee reviews all of our compensation policies and procedures, including the incentives that they create and factors that may reduce the likelihood of excessive risk taking, to determine whether they present a significant risk to our Company. The Compensation Committee has determined that, for all employees, our compensation programs do not encourage excessive risk and instead encourage behaviors that support sustainable value creation.

 

Communications with Directors

 

The Board welcomes communication from our stockholders. Stockholders and other interested parties who wish to communicate with a member or members of our Board or a committee thereof may do so by addressing correspondence to the Board member, members or committee, c/o Corporate Secretary, TruGolf Holdings, Inc., 60 North 1400 West, Centerville, Utah 84014. Our Corporate Secretary will review and forward correspondence to the appropriate person or persons.

 

All communications received as set forth in the preceding paragraph will be opened by our Corporate Secretary for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents represent a message to our directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service or patently offensive material will be forwarded promptly to the addressee(s). In the case of communications to the Board or any group or committee of directors, our Corporate Secretary will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each director who is a member of the group or committee to whom the communication is addressed. If the amount of correspondence received through the foregoing process becomes excessive, our Board may consider approving a process for review, organization and screening of the correspondence by our Corporate Secretary or another appropriate person.

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among any of our directors and executive officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our directors, director nominees or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

  any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
  any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
  being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
  being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

 

There have been no material legal proceedings that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of our directors, director nominees or executive officers, or in which any director, director nominee, officer, nominee or principal stockholder, or any affiliate thereof, is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us.

 

Insider Trading Policy; Prohibition on Hedges and Pledges

 

Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Policy that applies to all of our directors, executive officers, and employees. This policy also is affirmed by our domestic third party vendors, and our international vendors either affirm this policy or a similar, local, more applicable policy, regulation, or law. The policy attempts to establish standards that will avoid even the appearance of improper conduct on the part of insiders by requiring, among other things, that insiders maintain the confidentiality of information about the Company and to not engage in transactions in the Company’s securities while aware of material nonpublic information Our insider trading policy is filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

 

 

 

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our ordinary shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such ordinary shares with the SEC. These persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. As a matter of practice, our legal team assists our officers and directors in preparing initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership and files those reports on their behalf. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms we have received, we believe that all required Section 16(a) reports were timely filed during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, except for the below.

 

Each of Steven R. Johnson and Christopher Jones had one late Form 4 filing regarding the conversion of promissory notes payable by the Company to Steven R. Johnson and Christopher Jones into shares of Class A and Class B common stock.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are permitted to provide a scaled executive compensation disclosure under Item 402(m)-(r) of Regulation S-K.

 

Compensation Philosophy and Process

 

The responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers and making compensation decisions with respect to such executive officers lies with our Compensation Committee.

Recoupment Policy

 

We adopted the TruGolf Holdings, Inc. Dodd-Frank Restatement Recoupment Policy effective as of October 2, 2023. In the event that we are required to prepare a financial restatement, the Committee will recoup all erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation calculated on a pre-tax basis received after October 2, 2023, by a person (i) after beginning service as an executive officer, (ii) who served as an executive officer at any time during the performance period for that incentive-based compensation, and (iii) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare a restatement, and any transition period (that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year) of less than nine months within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years. “Clawback” or recoupment policy in our executive compensation program contributes to creating and maintaining a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and reinforces the performance-based principles underlying our executive compensation program.

Security Ownership of Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our voting securities as of April 15, 2026 by:

 

  each person known by us to beneficially own more than 5.0% of our voting securities;

Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned and the respective percentages of beneficial ownership of Common Stock assumes the exercise of all options, warrants and other securities convertible into Common Stock beneficially owned by such person or entity currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Record Date subject to any applicable beneficial ownership blockers. Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them based on information provided to us by these stockholders. Percentage of ownership is based on 914,267 shares of common stock outstanding on April 15, 2025.
