VOTING AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OR BY PROXY

Stockholders of record at the close of business on March 25, 2015 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. At the Record Date, 158,285,045 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.005 par value per share (“Common Stock”) were issued and outstanding. Each holder of record of Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote per share. The presence, in person, or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the conduct of business at the Annual Meeting.  Matthew D. Burlend, in his capacity as Secretary of the Company, has been appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company to tabulate the number of shares represented, receive proxies and ballots, tabulate the vote and serve as Inspector of Elections at the Annual Meeting.  All shares of Common Stock represented by properly dated and executed proxies received prior to or at the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated in such proxies. If no such instructions are indicated, such shares will be
voted “FOR” each of the candidates nominated to serve as directors listed herein and in the discretion of the Board of Directors for any other business properly brought before the Annual Meeting. Any stockholder may revoke his or her proxy at any time prior to its use by filing with the Inspectors of Elections of the Company written revocation of his or her proxy, giving a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Attendance by a stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not in itself revoke his or her proxy.  The Company will pay any costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors. The Company does not intend to engage an outside proxy solicitation firm, and directors, officers and employees of the Company will not receive additional compensation for solicitation of proxies.

BUSINESS TO BE CONDUCTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Item 1. Election of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, directors will be elected to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the number of directors shall from time to time be fixed exclusively by the Board of Directors by a resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors serving at the time of the vote. In accordance with such procedure, the Board of Directors has fixed the number of directors at three (3). Each of the nominees for director identified below is currently one of our directors. If any of the nominees should be unavailable to serve, which is not now anticipated, the proxies solicited hereby will be voted for such other persons as shall be designated by the current Board of Directors.

Unless authority is withheld, it is intended that all shares of Common Stock represented by proxies in the form accompanying this Proxy Statement will be voted in favor of the three (3) nominees named below.

The Company’s Bylaws provide that a quorum shall be the attendance, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Once a quorum is present, the election of directors requires a plurality of the votes cast, and votes may be cast in favor of the nominees or withheld. A plurality means that the nominee receiving the most votes for election to a director position is elected to that position. For the proposal to elect directors, abstentions will not affect the outcome of such vote, because abstentions are not treated as votes cast.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the selection of Mr. Ferris, Mr. Burlend and Mr. Brown for election to the Board of Directors.

Certain information with respect to each nominee is set forth below:

ROBERT D. FERRIS, age 43, has served as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of VirTra Systems since 2008.

Mr. Ferris attended the US Air Force Academy with a major in Management and is a graduate of the University of Arizona with a degree in Systems Engineering.

MATTHEW D. BURLEND, age 41, has served as a member of the Board of Directors since 2008 and Chief Operating Officer of VirTra Systems since 2011.
