PROXY STATEMENT

2017 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

May 9, 2017

Introduction

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2017, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”). Further, solicitation of proxies may be made personally, or facsimile, by regularly employed officers and other employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for such.

Only shareholders of record (each a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”) at the close of business on March 14, 2017 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 65,422,021 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Common Stock”). Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters properly coming before the Meeting. All properly executed, unrevoked proxies on the enclosed form of proxy that are received in time will be voted in accordance with the Shareholder's directions and, unless contrary directions are given, will be voted for the proposals (each a “Proposal” and collectively the “Proposals”) described herein. Anyone giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving the board of directors of the Company written notice of the revocation, by submitting a proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of holders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Assuming a quorum is present at the Meeting, approval of each of the three proposals presented herein require the vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the Meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by our transfer agent, Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc., who will act as inspector of elections and who will determine whether or not a quorum is present. Shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that are marked “abstain” will be included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are not counted as voted either for or against Proposals 1 and 2, but are considered a vote against Proposals 3 and 4.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has adopted and approved each of the Proposals set forth herein and recommends that the Company's Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

Copies of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (the “2016 Fiscal Year”) including the audited financial statements set forth therein, which are incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and made a part hereof, are being mailed or sent electronically concurrently herewith to all Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 14, 2017.

This Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Meeting and the form of proxy have been first mailed to the Shareholders on or about •, 2017.

The date of this Proxy Statement is •, 2017.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

1. WHAT IS A PROXY?

It is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock that you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, our President and Chief Executive Officer, has been designated as a proxy for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

2. WHAT IS THE RECORD DATE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The record date for the 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is March 14, 2017. The record date is established by the Company as required by Delaware law and our By-laws. Shareholders of record (registered shareholders and street name holders) at the close of business on the record date are entitled to:

	(a)	receive notice of the meeting; and

	(b)	vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

3. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER AND A SHAREHOLDER WHO HOLDS STOCK IN STREET NAME?

If your shares of stock are registered in your name on the books and records of our transfer agent, you are a registered shareholder.

If your shares of stock are held for you in the name of your broker or bank, your shares are held in street name. The answer to Question 12 describes brokers' discretionary voting authority and when your bank or broker is permitted to vote your shares of stock without instructions from you.

4. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT METHODS THAT I CAN USE TO VOTE MY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK?

	(a)	Vote By Internet

		All shareholders of record can vote by Internet as instructed on the proxy card.

	(b)	In Writing:

		All shareholders of record can vote by mailing in their completed proxy card (in the case of registered shareholders) or their completed vote instruction form (in the case of street name holders).

	(c)	In Person:

		All shareholders may vote in person at the meeting (unless they are street name holders without a legal proxy).

5. HOW CAN I REVOKE A PROXY?

You can revoke a proxy prior to the completion of voting at the meeting by:

	(a)	giving written notice to our Corporate Secretary;

	(b)	delivering a later-dated proxy; or

	(c)	voting in person at the meeting.

6. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON DIRECTOR NOMINEES, AND WHAT VOTE IS NEEDED TO ELECT DIRECTORS?

When voting on the election of director nominees to serve until the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders may:

	(a)	vote in favor of a specific nominee; or

	(b)	withhold vote as to a specific nominee.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” all of the nominees.

7. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF RICHTER LLP, AND WHAT VOTE IS NEEDED TO RATIFY ITS SELECTION?

When voting on the ratification of the selection of Richter LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, shareholders may:

	(a)	vote in favor of the ratification;

	(b)	vote against the ratification; or

	(c)	abstain from voting on the ratification.

The selection of the independent registered public accounting firm will be ratified if the votes cast “FOR” are a majority of the votes present at the meeting. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal.

8. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON ADVISORY, NON-BINDING COMPENSATION FOR OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND WHAT VOTE IS NEEDED TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION SCHEME?

	(a)	vote in favor;

	(b)	vote against; or

	(c)	abstain from voting.

The compensation for our named executive officers will be approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, if a majority of the voting power of the voting shares present at the meeting votes “FOR” the proposal. A properly executed proxy card marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to this proposal will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” this proposal. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal.

9. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AND WHAT VOTE IS NEEDED TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT?

	(a)	vote in favor;

	(b)	vote against; or

	(c)	abstain from voting.

The amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation will be approved if a majority of the outstanding voting power entitled to vote on the amendment votes “FOR” the proposal. A properly executed proxy card marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to this proposal will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” this proposal. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal.

10. WHAT IF A SHAREHOLDER DOES NOT SPECIFY A CHOICE FOR A MATTER WHEN RETURNING A PROXY?

Shareholders should specify their choice for each matter on the enclosed proxy. If no specific instructions are given, proxies which are signed and returned or submitted by e-mail will be voted FOR the election of all director nominees, FOR the proposal to ratify the selection of Richter LLP, FOR the Plan, and FOR the compensation of executive officers.

11. WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?

You may vote if you owned stock as of the close of business on March 14, 2017. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote.

12. WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?

It means that your shares are registered differently or that you have multiple accounts with brokers or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent for the Proxy Service is Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc. 2320 Haverford Rd., Suite 230, Ardmore, PA 19003, Tel. 484-416-3124.

13. WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT PROVIDE MY PROXY?

If your shares are registered in your name, they will not be voted unless you submit your proxy card, or vote in person at the meeting. If your shares are held in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, under some circumstances, may vote your shares.

Brokerage firms, banks and other nominees may vote customers' un-voted shares on “routine” matters. Generally, a broker may not vote a customer's un-voted shares on non-routine matters without instructions from the customer and must instead submit a “broker non-vote.” A broker non-vote is counted toward the shares needed for a quorum, but it is not counted in determining whether a matter has been approved. At the meeting, the election of directors, the approval of the Plan and the advisory vote on executive compensation are non-routine matters and the verification of the auditors is a routine matter.

14. ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES COUNTED?

Broker non-votes will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote for directors. In matters other than the elections of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of votes against a proposal in tabulations of the votes cast on proposals presented to shareholders.

15. HOW MANY VOTES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE MEETING?

To hold the meeting and conduct business, one-third of our outstanding voting shares as of March 14, 2017 must be present or represented by proxy at the meeting. On this date, a total of 65,422,021 shares of our common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Shares representing one-third must be present. This is called a quorum.

Votes are counted as present at the meeting if the shareholder either:

	(a)	Is present and votes in person at the meeting; or

	(b)	Has properly voted by Internet or submitted a proxy card.

16. WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and publish final results on a current report filed on Form 8-K within four business days of the end of the meeting.

17. UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD THE ANNUAL MEETING BE ADJOURNED?

The annual meeting may be adjourned in the absence of a quorum for the purpose of obtaining a quorum.

Any adjournment may be made without notice, other than by an announcement made at the annual meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares present in person or by properly executed proxy at the annual meeting.

18. WHO CAN HELP ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Company’s Board is responsible for overseeing the business and affairs of the Company. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in regular quarterly and special meetings of the Board and its committees.

The Charter of the Board is posted on our website at http://www.intelgenx.com.

The Board is currently comprised of Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, who serves as our Chairman and six directors, four of which are independent. Dr. Zerbe is also our President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe, because of the size of our Company, that the Company, like many U.S. companies, is currently best served by having one person serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that through this leadership structure, Dr. Zerbe is able to draw on his intimate knowledge of the daily operations of the Company and its relationships with partners, customers and employees to provide the Board with leadership in setting its agenda and properly focusing its discussions. As the individual with primary responsibility for managing our day-to-day operations, Dr. Zerbe is also best-positioned to chair regular Board meetings and ensure that key business issues are brought to the Board’s attention. The combined role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also ensures that the Company presents its message and strategy to shareholders, partners, customers, employees and other stakeholders with a unified, single voice.

In 2014 the Board created the position of Vice Chairman, who serves as the independent Lead Director. The role of Lead Director is to facilitate the functioning of the Board, to help ensure that appropriate processes are followed, to assist in fostering and seeking input of independent directors, and to ensure independent director participation in all Board decisions.

The Lead Director ensures that the Board’s relationship with management functions effectively and furthers the best interest of the Corporation, including working with the committees appointed by the Board to ensure they have the proper structure and appropriate assignments. The Lead Director also regularly communicates with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer so that he is aware of any concern of the independent directors and any concerns communicated by our shareholders. The role and responsibilities of the Lead Director are in addition to and distinct from the role of the chair of each of the committees of the Board.

The mandate of the Vice Chair (Lead Director) is posted on our website at http://www.intelgenx.com.

Independence of Members of the Board of Directors

The Board has determined that four of our directors, J. Bernard Boudreau, Ian Troup, Bernd Melchers, and John Marinucci are independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of both The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Company's Board held four regular meetings and various Special Meetings during our 2016 Fiscal Year. All our directors attended 100% of the board meetings and of the committee meetings on which they served, except for Mr. Troup who was unable to attend 50% of the regular scheduled meetings for medical reasons but attended the Q2 and Q4 scheduled meetings as well as special board meetings.

The Company encourages the members of the board to attend the Annual General Meeting to be available to answer shareholder’s questions. All of our directors attended the last Annual Meeting in May 2016.

Compensation of the Board of Directors

Directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors. As described below in "Director Compensation", during our 2016 Fiscal Year, our Directors of the Board (except for the CEO) received an annual stipend of $27,158 (CA$36,000), the Vice-Chairman of the Board received an additional annual stipend of $10,939 (CA$14,500), and each chairman of a Board Committee received $5,658 (CA$7,500). Director fees are paid in quarterly installments.

In November 2016, the Board resolved to compensate non-employee directors for their efforts on special or ad hoc committees or for board approved initiatives that fall outside the scope of customary director’s duties. A daily (per 8 hours) per diem rate of $754 (CA$ 1,000) was established. The Audit Committee Chair needs to approve per diem charges submitted by directors. During fiscal year 2016, no funds were submitted or paid under the new policy.

Effective January 2017, Director’s compensation will be paid in U.S. Dollars in lieu of Canadian dollars. The amounts will remain the same.

Furthermore, effective January 2015, the non-employee Directors of the Board receive 50,000 options to purchase common stock which will be granted annually to each non-employee director at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee is comprised of independent members of our Board and is currently composed of Bernd Melchers and John Marinucci.

The CG&N Committee is responsible for performing the duties set out in his Charter to enable the Board to discharge its responsibilities and obligations with respect to identifying and recommending candidates for election to the Board and all committees of the Board. Furthermore, the CG&N Committee is responsible for developing an effective corporate governance system for IntelGenx Technologies Corp., and for reviewing and assessing on an ongoing basis our corporate governance and public disclosure.

In considering a potential candidate, the CG&N Committee considers both the qualities and skills that the Board, considered in its entirety, currently possesses and that the Board should possess. Based on the skills and experiences already represented on the Board, the CG&N Committee will consider the experience, personal attributes and qualities that a candidate should possess in light of the anticipated growth and development of the Corporation. The CG&N Committee recognizes the benefits of promoting diversity at the Board level. Diverse perspectives linked in common purpose contribute to innovation and growth of the Corporation. In considering candidates and selecting nominees for the Board, diversity, including gender diversity, is an important factor considered by the CG&N Committee. In assessing a candidate’s suitability, the CG&N Committee also takes into consideration the existing commitments of the individual to ensure that each member has sufficient time to discharge such member’s duties.

Notwithstanding the fact that the CG&N Committee is charged with the responsibility of identifying potential new Board members, all members of the Board are eligible to put forth candidates for the CGNC Committee to consider. Additionally, the Board may engage recruiting firms to assist with identifying qualified candidates. Once candidates have been approved by the CG&N Committee and their interest level gauged, the entire Board discusses, both formally and informally, the suitability of a particular candidate.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to our Board for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials to our principal office, 6420 Abrams, Ville St. Laurent, Quebec H4S 1Y2, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, our Board will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others. If our Board determines to nominate a stockholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in our proxy card for the next annual meeting.

The decision on a CEO successor will be made at some appropriate future date by the full Board

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our management has responsibility for managing day-to-day risk and for bringing the most material risks facing the Company to the Board’s attention. The Board takes an active role in risk oversight related to the Company both as a full Board and through its committees. To facilitate the Board’s risk oversight responsibility, management provides the Board with information about its identification, assessment and management of critical risks and its risk mitigation strategies. This information is communicated to the Board and its committees at regular and special meetings, through reports, presentations and discussions with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors, such as our independent auditors, as appropriate. During regular Audit Committee meetings, committee members discuss the financial results for the most recent fiscal quarter with the independent auditors, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. The Audit Committee also meets with and provides instruction to the independent auditors outside the presence of management. These discussions allow the members of the Audit Committee to analyze any significant risks that could materially impact the financial health of our business.

The Compensation Committee oversees the company’s executive compensation arrangements, including the identification and management of risks that may arise from the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

Executive Compensation

The key objectives of the Company's executive compensation policies are to attract and retain key executives who are important to the long-term success of the Company and to provide incentives for these executives to achieve high levels of job performance and enhancement of shareholder value. The Company seeks to achieve these objectives by paying its executives a competitive level of base compensation for companies of similar size and industry and by providing its executives an opportunity for further reward for outstanding performance in both the short term and the long term.

Executive Officer Compensation. The Company's executive officer compensation program is comprised of three elements: base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option grants.

Salary. The Compensation Committee and the Board will review base salaries for the Company's executive officers, taking into account individual experience, job responsibility and individual performance during the prior year. These factors are not assigned a specific weight in establishing individual base salaries. The Compensation Committee will also consider the Company's executive officers' salaries relative to salary information for executives in similar industries and similarly sized companies.

Cash Bonuses. The purpose of the cash bonus component of the compensation program is to provide a direct financial incentive in the form of cash bonuses to executives. The cash bonus is paid on the base of individual and corporate performance.

Stock Options. Stock options are the primary vehicle for rewarding long-term achievement of Company goals. The objectives of the program are to align employee and shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between compensation and increases in share value. Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, the Board or the Compensation Committee may authorize the grant of options to purchase common stock of the Company to key employees of the Company. The options generally vest in increments over a period of two years established at the time of grant.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our officers or directors have, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding; (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) has any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto or been subject to any of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K, other than Mr. Boudreau who was formerly the Vice President of Pharmeng International Inc. from 2005 to 2008, which since filed for bankruptcy on April 14, 2009. He was also a Director of Pharmeng until April 13, 2009.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the SEC. Directors, officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms that we received during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, we believe that each person who at any time during the fiscal year was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.

Communications with the Board

Any record or beneficial owner of the Company's common stock who wishes to communicate with the Board should contact the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Audit Committee. If particular communications are directed to the full Board, independent directors as a group, or individual directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Audit Committee, as applicable, will route these communications to appropriate committees or directors if the intended recipients are clearly indicated.

Any record or beneficial owner of the Company's common stock who has concerns about the Company's accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters relating to the Company should also contact the Audit Committee.

Written communications should be addressed to IntelGenx Technologies Corp., 6420 Abrams, Ville St-Laurent, Quebec H4S 1Y2, Canada, Attention: Chairman of the Board/Chairman of the Audit Committee.

As a result of the adoption of the 2016 Stock Option Plan, no additional options will be granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan and all previously granted options will be governed by the 2016 Stock Option Plan. Due to the nature of the changes made to the 2006 Stock Option Plan it was determined that no stockholder approvals were required by the TSX Venture Exchange.
(3)	Represents the maximum number of shares of our common stock available for grants under the 2016 Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 2016.

2016 Stock Option Plan

The 2016 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board in order to make the terms of the Company’s stock option plan more consistent with the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange and to remove certain provisions which would have enabled the Company to grant incentive stock options in compliance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The 2016 Stock Option Plan permits the granting of options to officers, employees, directors and eligible consultants of the Company. A total of 6,361,525 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under this plan, which includes stock options granted under the previous 2006 Stock Option Plan. Options may be granted under the 2016 Stock Option Plan on terms and at prices as determined by the Board except that the options cannot be granted at less than the market closing price of the common stock on the TSX-V on the date prior to the grant.. Each option will be exercisable after the period or periods specified in the option agreement, but no option may be exercised after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant. The 2016 Stock Option Plan provides the Board with more flexibility when setting the vesting schedule for options which was otherwise fixed in the 2006 Stock Option Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL 2 TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF RICHTER LLP.

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

Section 14A of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the Company include in this Proxy Statement for the Meeting a non-binding, advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s executive officer’s as described in the above under “Directors and Executive Officer’s” and “Executive Compensation” set forth in the Proxy Statement.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, is a non-binding vote, but gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the named executive officers. The next advisory vote shall occur next year.

Accordingly, the following resolution is submitted for stockholder vote at the Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting held May 9, 2017, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K for smaller reporting companies is hereby approved.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the Board. However, the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering the Company’s executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for named executive officers.

Shareholder Vote Required

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL #3.

PROPOSAL 4

AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES

General

The Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, currently authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. On March 8, 2017, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution approving, subject to the approval of our stockholders, an amendment to paragraph Four of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Amendment"), to increase the total number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.

The Board believes that increasing the authorized share capital is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Company approve the Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to increase the Company's authorized common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares.

Text of the Proposed Amendment

We propose to amend the existing language of paragraph Fourth of the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as follows:

"Fourth. The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock. One class of stock shall be common stock, par value $.00001. The second class of stock shall be "blank check" preferred stock, par value $.00001. The "blank check" preferred stock, or any series thereof, shall have such voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such stock adopted by the board of directors and may be made dependent upon facts ascertainable outside such resolution or resolutions of the board of directors pursuant to authority expressly vested in it by the provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, provided that the matter in which such facts shall operate upon such voting powers, designations, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such class or series of stock is clearly and expressly set forth in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock by the board of directors.

The total number of shares of stock which is the Corporation is authorized to issue is as follows:

Class		Par ValueAuthorized Shares

Common stock	$	0.00001	200,000,000
Preferred stock	$	0.00001	20,000,000

The additional shares of common stock to be authorized by adoption of the amendment would have rights identical to our currently outstanding common stock. Adoption of the proposed amendment would not affect the rights of the holders of currently outstanding common stock, except for effects incidental to increasing the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, such as dilution of the earnings per share and voting rights of current holders of common stock, to the extent the additional common stock is ultimately issued. The proposed Amendment will not affect the number of shares of preferred stock authorized.

If the Amendment is approved by the stockholders at the Meeting, the Certificate of Amendment will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Amendment. The form of the Certificate of Amendment that would be enacted if the Amendment is adopted is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. However, the text of the Certificate of Amendment is subject to revision to include such changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and as our Board deems necessary and advisable to effect the proposed amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation.

Rationale for the Amendment

As of March 15, 2017, 65,422,021 shares of our common stock are issued and outstanding. In addition, 2,960,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options under the Company’s Stock Option Plan, approximately 1,938,954 are reserved for future awards under our 2016 Stock Option Plan and 5,614,358 shares of common stock are reserved for the potential exercise of outstanding warrants. That leaves approximately 24,064,667 shares, or 24.1% of the currently authorized share amount, available for future use. As a result, the Company may not have a sufficient number of authorized shares available for issuance for future capital raising activities, mergers and acquisitions, and other corporate purposes.

The Board believes that the additional authorized shares of common stock will provide us with the necessary flexibility to utilize shares for various corporate purposes that may be identified in the future which are expected to enhance stockholder value. These corporate purposes may include, but are not limited to, potential strategic transactions (such as mergers, acquisitions, and other business combinations), future stock dividends, equity or equity-linked offerings and other capital-raising or financing transactions, grants and awards under the stock plan, and other types of general corporate purpose transactions. We believe that it is important to have the flexibility to issue shares of common stock beyond the limited amount remaining. Failure to implement the proposed Amendment could, in effect, prevent the Company from continuing the pursuit of effective strategies to access capital in the public and private markets.

The Board has not proposed the increase in the amount of authorized shares with the intention of discouraging tender offers or takeover attempts of the Company. Rather, the proposed amendment has been prompted by business and financial considerations, as set out above, and it is the intended purpose of the proposed amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to provide greater flexibility to the Board in considering and planning for our potential future corporate needs. However, the availability of additional authorized shares for issuance may have effect of discouraging a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or other attempt to obtain control of the Company. Furthermore, the submission of this proposal is not part of any plan by the Company's Board or management to engage in any transaction which would require the approval of this proposed increase.

Neither Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation, nor the Bylaws provides for appraisal or other similar rights for dissenting stockholders in connection with the proposals in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, our stockholders will have no right to dissent and obtain payment for their shares.

Shareholder Vote Required

Approval of the Amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote thereon. If a stockholder abstains from voting or directs the stockholder's proxy to abstain from voting, such shares are considered present at the Meeting for purposes of the Amendment, but, because they are not affirmative votes for the proposal, they will have the same effect as votes against the proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" PROPOSAL #4.

GENERAL AND OTHER MATTERS

Management knows of no matters other than the matters described above that will be presented to the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, or any of its postponements or adjournments, the person or persons voting the proxies will vote them in accordance with his or their best judgment on such matters.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The Company is making the solicitation of proxies and will bear the costs associated therewith. Solicitations will be made by mail or electronically.
