BLUEJAY DIAGNOSTICS, INC. PROXY STATEMENT
FOR
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To Be Held June 18, 2025

Information About The Annual Meeting And Voting

Why Did You Send Me This Proxy Statement?

This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware corporation, for use at the Annual Meeting of Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc.’s stockholders to be held at the 360 Massachusetts Avenue, Suite 203, Acton, MA 01720, on June 18, 2025 at 1:00 p.m., local time, and at any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting. This proxy statement summarizes the information you need to make an informed vote on the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting. However, you do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the enclosed proxy card using the envelope provided. The terms “Bluejay,” “Company,” “we,” or “our” refer to Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc.

What Proposals Will Be Addressed At The Annual Meeting?

We will address the following proposals at the Annual Meeting:

Proposal 1.      To elect five Board nominees to the Board of Directors of the Company, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or until such person’s successor is qualified and elected.

Proposal 2.      To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

Proposal 3.      To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and effect an additional reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

Proposal 4.      To ratify the appointment of Wolf & Company, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Proposal 5.      To transact any other business that is properly brought before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Who May Vote On These Proposals?

We will send this proxy statement, the attached Notice of Annual Meeting and the enclosed proxy card on or about May 22, 2025 to all stockholders as of May 15, 2025 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders who owned shares of our common stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting on all matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

On the Record Date, we had 1,494,182 shares of issued and outstanding common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How Many Votes Do I Have?

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. Cumulative voting is not permitted.

Table of Contents

Why Would The Annual Meeting Be Postponed?

The Annual Meeting will be postponed if a quorum is not present on June 18, 2025. The presence in person or by proxy of at least one-third of our common stock outstanding as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum and is required to transact business at the Annual Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as shares present or represented at the meeting but are not counted as votes cast. Shares held by brokers who do not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter and who have not received voting instructions from their customers (broker non-votes) are not considered to be “entitled to vote” on that matter and are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether stockholders have approved that matter, but they are counted as present for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

How Do I Vote By Proxy?

Whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting or not, we urge you to complete, sign and date the enclosed proxy card and return it promptly in the envelope provided. Returning the proxy card will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.

If you properly fill in your proxy card and send it to us in time to vote, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your proxy card) will vote your shares as you have directed. If you sign the proxy card but do not make specific choices, your proxy will vote your shares as recommended by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) as follows:

Proposal 1.      To elect five nominees to the Board, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or until such person’s successor is qualified and elected.

Proposal 2.      To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

Proposal 3.      To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and effect an additional reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

Proposal 4.      To ratify the appointment of Wolf & Company, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Proposal 5.      In their discretion, upon such other matters as may property come before the meeting.

If any other matters are presented, your proxy will vote in accordance with his or her best judgment. At the time this proxy statement was printed, we knew of no matters that needed to be acted on at the Annual Meeting other than those discussed in this proxy statement.

How Do I Vote In Person?

If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person on June 18, 2025, or at a later date if the meeting is adjourned or postponed, we will give you a ballot when you arrive. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must bring a power of attorney executed by the broker, bank or other nominee that owns the shares of record for your benefit and authorizing you to vote the shares.

May I Revoke My Proxy?

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised. You may revoke your proxy in three ways:

1.      You may send in another proxy with a later date.

2.      You may notify us in writing (or if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal, by an officer or attorney of the corporation) at our principal executive offices before the Annual Meeting that you are revoking your proxy.

3.      You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Table of Contents

What Vote Is Required To Approve Each Proposal?

Proposal 1: To elect five nominees to the Board, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company or until such person’s successor is qualified and elected.

A plurality of the votes cast is required to elect director nominees, and as such, the five nominees who receive the greatest number of “FOR” votes cast by stockholders, entitled to vote at the meeting, will be elected. A nominee who receives a plurality means he or she has received more “FOR” votes than any other nominee for the same director’s seat. Broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

Proposal 2: To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

We believe that the approval of Proposal 2 will require the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. We believe this proposal will be considered to be a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. As a result, we believe that there will be no “broker non-votes” in this proposal. We believe that abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal.

We believe that the approval of this proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. We believe this proposal will be considered to be a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. As a result, we believe that there will be no “broker non-votes” in this proposal. We believe that abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. Unless authority to do so is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote such proxy FOR this proposal. The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR this proposal

Proposal 3: To approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and effect an additional reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.

We believe that the approval of Proposal 3 will require the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. We believe this proposal will be considered to be a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. As a result, we believe that there will be no “broker non-votes” in this proposal. We believe that abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal.

Proposal 4: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

The approval of Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. Broker non-votes and abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. We believe this proposal will be considered to be a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal.

Other Business That Is Properly Brought Before the Annual Meeting

If you do not give instructions to your bank or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote your shares in its discretion on routine matters. However, absent your instructions, the record holder will not be permitted to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, which are referred to as “broker non-votes,” properly brought before the meeting. Broker non-votes (shares held by brokers that do not have discretionary authority to vote on the matter and have not received voting instructions from their clients) are not counted or deemed to be present or represented for the purpose of determining whether stockholders have approved that proposal but will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum present.

Stock Ownership Of Certain Beneficial Owners And Management

The following table sets forth information, as of May 2, 2025, regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock by:

        each of our directors;

        each of our named executive officers (“NEOs”);

        all directors and executive officers as a group; and

        each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own five percent or more of our shares of common stock.

During his tenure as Chief Operating Officer of LMBRI, he spent approximately eight years consulting with Toray Industries, Hitachi Chemicals (now Showa Denko Materials Co.

Mr. Wurth earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame and a J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law.

Mr. Zeidman holds a Bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis and a Master’s in Business Administration from New York University. We believe that Mr. Zeidman is professionally qualified to serve on our Board due to his extensive leadership and corporate finance experience, as well has his relationships in the investing and investment banking businesses.

She also co-founded LMBRI in 2008, a management consulting company focused on product launch and marketing in the medical field in the U.S., Japan and India.

than 15 years in healthcare consulting businesses. In these roles, she has been involved in management and operations of healthcare and life sciences products development, sales and marketing operations and general management. Ms. Dey earned a Master’s Degree in Mathematics from the State University of Mari El Republic, Russia. We believe Ms. Dey’s history with our company, coupled with her extensive experience in the healthcare industry, provides her with the qualifications to serve as a Director.

Gary Gemignani, Director

Prior to this, Mr. Gemignani served in senior and executive financial and operational roles with multiple public and private companies including Prudential Financial, Gentium, Novartis and Wyeth. Mr. Gemignani started his career at Arthur Andersen & Co. We believe that Mr. Gemignani is professionally qualified to serve on our Board due to his extensive accounting and financial experience, as well as his public company expertise.

Family Relationships

Ms. Svetlana Dey is married to Mr. Neil Dey. There are no other directors that are related to any other director or executive officer of our company or our subsidiaries, and there are no arrangements or understandings between a director and any other person pursuant to which such person was elected as director.

Governance Of The Company

Our Board of Directors

Our Board oversees the business affairs of Bluejay and monitors the performance of management. Members of the Board discussed various business matters informally on numerous occasions throughout the year in 2024. The Board held 11 meetings during 2024, and took action 3 times by unanimous written consent during the year. We believe that such interaction between fellow Board members and with management provided proper oversight of the Company. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committee meetings of which such director was a member (held during the period for which such director was in office).

Director Independence

The rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or the Nasdaq Rules, require a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be composed of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent. Under the Nasdaq Rules, a director will only qualify as an independent director if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Nasdaq Rules also require that Audit Committee members satisfy independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an Audit Committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. In considering the independence of Compensation Committee members, the Nasdaq Rules require that our Board must consider additional factors relevant to the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including the source of any compensation we pay to the director and any affiliations with our company.

Our Board undertook a review of the composition of our Board and its committees and the independence of each director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board has determined that Messrs. Wurth, Chase, Zeidman, and Gemignani are independent as defined under the Nasdaq Rules.

Board Committees

Our Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our Board may establish other committees to facilitate the management of our business. Our Board has adopted written charters for each of our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, which are available on our website at https://ir.bluejaydx.com/corporate-governance/governance-overview.

The chart below shows the current membership and chairperson of each of our three standing Board committees and the number of committee meetings held during our last fiscal year. Each member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the applicable independence requirements of the SEC and the Nasdaq listing rules for service on our Board and each committee on which she or he serves.

Audit Committee.    The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Gemignani (Chairperson), Mr. Wurth and Mr. Chase. Effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting, Mr. Gemignani will retire as a director, Mr. Chase will assume the role of Chair of the Audit Committee, and Mr. Zeidman will become a member of the Audit Committee. Each of the foregoing directors is independent as defined by the Nasdaq Rules. In addition, each of themsatisfies the additional requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq Rules for audit committee membership, including the additional independence requirements and the financial literacy requirements. The Board has determined that each Mr. Gemignani and Mr. Chase is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in the Nasdaq and SEC’s rules and regulations. The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to oversee the quality and integrity of our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audit of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, compensating, overseeing and terminating the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.    The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mr. Zeidman (Chairperson), Mr. Wurth and Mr. Chase. Each member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is independent as defined by Nasdaq Rules. The primary functions and responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are to: (a) determine the qualifications, qualities, skills, and other expertise required to be a director; (b) identify and screen individuals qualified to become members of the Board; (c) make recommendations to the Board regarding the selection and approval of the nominees for director; and (d) review and assess the adequacy of our corporate governance policies and procedures.

Compensation Committee.    The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Chase (Chairperson), Mr. Wurth and Mr. Gemignani. Effective as of the date of the Annual Meeting, Mr. Gemignani will retire as a director, and Mr. Zeidman will become a member of the Compensation Committee. Each of the foregoing directors is independent as defined by Nasdaq Rules. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the annual compensation for our Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board, the annual compensation and benefits for our other executive officers. The Compensation Committee also, among other things, reviews compensation of the Board, reviews and makes recommendations on all new executive compensation programs that are proposed for adoption and administers the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the annual compensation for our President and Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our principal executive, financial and accounting officer) and any other executive officers.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of any other executive officers (other than himself) and based on that review he makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee about the compensation of such executive officers. Our President and Chief Executive Officer does not participate in any deliberations or approvals by the Board or the Compensation Committee with respect to his own compensation.

Board Member Attendance at Annual Meetings

We do not have a formal policy regarding Board attendance at our annual meetings, however, all our directors are invited to the annual meeting. All of our directors attended our 2024 annual meeting.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure to provide effective oversight of management. Mr. Wurth serves as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Dey serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer (which includes serving as our principal executive, financial and accounting officer). Although our Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and President and Chief Executive Officer, we believe such separation serves an important governance purpose.

Although management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks we face, our Board and its committees take an active role in overseeing management of our risks and have the ultimate responsibility for the oversight of risk management. Our Board regularly reviews information regarding our operational, financial, legal and strategic risks. Specifically, senior management attends periodic meetings of the Board, provides presentations on operations including significant risks, and are available to address any questions or concerns raised by our Board.

10

Table of Contents

In addition, our committees assist our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding risks. Our Audit Committee coordinate the Board’s oversight of our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, related party transactions and code of conduct and corporate governance guidelines and management reports on these areas. Our Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risks arising from our compensation policies and programs. When any of the committees receives a report related to material risk oversight, the chairperson of the relevant committee will report on the discussion to the full Board.

Nomination of Director Candidates

We may receive suggestions for potential director nominees from a variety of 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing board composition. However, qualified nominees often possess 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance 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 at any annual meeting at which the Board 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 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (c/o the Corporate Secretary), providing the candidates name, biographical data and other relevant information together with a consent from the nominee. Pursuant to our Bylaws, the submission must be received at our principal executive offices no less than 90 days and no more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of our last annual meeting to permit the Board time to evaluate the qualifications of the nominee.

We have not employed an executive search firm, or paid a fee to any other third party, to locate qualified candidates for director positions.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

Persons wishing to write to our Board, or to a specified director or committee of the Board, should address such correspondence to the applicable person or entity at Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc., 360 Massachusetts Avenue, Suite 203, Acton, MA 01720.

We will forward to the directors all communications that we believe are appropriate for consideration by the directors. Examples of communications that would not be appropriate for consideration by the directors include commercial solicitations and matters not relevant to the stockholders, to the functioning of the Board or to the affairs of Bluejay. Any correspondence received that is addressed to the Board generally will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our policies prohibit directors, officers and other employees from purchasing financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engaging in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities without our prior approval.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our directors, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller and any person performing similar functions. The code of ethics is on the “Governance — Governance Overview” section on our website at bluejaydx.com. We intend to disclose any future amendments to, or waivers from, the code of ethics within four business days of the waiver or amendment through a website posting or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires “insiders,” including our executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the SEC. Based solely on our review of such reports and written representations from reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, we believe that our insiders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2024.

compensation discussion & analysis Compensation Overview

The purpose of this Compensation Overview section is to provide material information about the Company’s compensation philosophy, objectives and other relevant policies and to explain and put into context the material elements of the disclosure that follows in this Proxy Statement with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”). For the year ended December 31, 2024, our NEOs were:

Neil Dey, President and Chief Executive Officer

Jason Cook, Chief Technology Officer

Frances Scally, former Interim Chief Financial Officer*

____________

*        Ms. Scally ceased serving as our Interim Chief Financial Officer on March 29, 2024.

Determining Executive Compensation

On an ongoing basis, the Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s other executive officers. Our President and Chief Executive Officer provides input to the Compensation Committee regarding the performance of the other NEOs and offers recommendations regarding their compensation packages considering such performance. The Compensation Committee is ultimately responsible, however, for determining the compensation of the NEOs, including our President and Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation Philosophy

The Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the Company’s executive compensation programs for its executive officers should reflect the Company’s performance and the value created for its shareholders. In addition, we believe our executive compensation programs should support the goals and values of the Company and should reward individual contributions to the Company’s success. Specifically, the Company’s executive compensation program is intended to, among other things:

        attract and retain the best caliber executive officers reasonably available;

        drive achievement of business strategies and goals;

        motivate performance in an entrepreneurial, incentive-driven culture;

        align the interests of executive officers with the interests of the Company’s shareholders;

        promote and maintain high ethical standards and business practices; and

        reward results and the creation of shareholder value.

Factors Considered in Determining Compensation

The Compensation Committee attempts to create an integrated total compensation program structured to balance both short and long-term financial and strategic goals. Given that the Company does not currently possess capacity under its equity-incentive plans, and that the Company’s stock price has suffered substantial and continued declines during the past several years, our compensation program currently focuses on providing a base salary, together with the potential opportunity for annual performance bonuses payable in cash, when the Compensation Committee believes appropriate.

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews each executive officer’s base salary and makes appropriate recommendations to the Board. Base salaries are based on the following factors:

        the Company’s performance for the prior fiscal years and subjective evaluation of each executive’s contribution to that performance;

        the performance of the particular executive in relation to established goals or strategic plans;

13

Table of Contents

        competitive levels of compensation for executive positions based on information drawn from informal internal benchmark analysis of base salaries for executive officers at similarly sized, public medical technology companies and other relevant information;

        the Company’s available cash resources at the time; and

        our obligations under the applicable executive officer’s employment agreement or offer letter (if any).

Performance bonuses and equity compensation are awarded based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. These grants are made with a view to linking executives’ compensation to the long-term financial success of the Company and its shareholders.

(2)      The amounts represent matching contributions made by the Company to Mr. Dey under its 401(k) Plan. Mr. Dey and Ms. Dey also serve as officers and/or directors of Laminar Pharma, Inc., a business entity that is unaffiliated with the Company, and the Company permits this entity to use its main facility as its registered business address without payment to the Company. The Company has determined that the value attributable to this arrangement falls below the reporting threshold for perquisites, and therefore has not attributed any value to it in the table.

(3)      The amounts represent matching contributions made by the Company to Mr. Cook under its 401(k) Plan.

(4)      Ms. Scally was appointed Interim Chief Financial Officer on September 26, 2023. Ms. Scally’s appointment was made pursuant to an agreement with DLA LLC (“DLA”), where she was an employee. We paid DLA on an hourly basis for Ms. Scally’s services. We did not pay Ms. Scally any cash compensation, as she is compensated by DLA. We terminated our agreement with DLA on March 29, 2024, at which time Ms. Scally ceased serving as our Interim Chief Financial Officer.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

Neil Dey, Chief Executive Officer and President

In July 2021, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Dey, which was amended in January 2023 (such agreement, as subsequently amended and restated, the “Dey Agreement”). The Dey Agreement provides for an annual base salary to Mr. Dey of $275,000, which may be increased or decreased by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion. The agreement also provides eligibility for an annual bonus targeted at 50% of his base salary. The annual bonus is payable in a combination of cash and equity as determined at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Company did not award any bonus to Mr. Dey for either 2023 or 2024. Mr. Dey is entitled to participate in certain of the Company’s benefit plans available to other executives.

Under the Dey Agreement, Mr. Dey is entitled to receive certain benefits upon termination of employment under certain circumstances. If we terminate Mr. Dey’s employment for any reason other than “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Dey Agreement), Mr. Dey will receive cash severance equal to twelve months base salary plus a pro-rata portion of the target annual bonus in addition to any unpaid salary, bonus, and unused vacation time not already paid.

Jason Cook, Chief Technology Officer

In July 2021, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Cook (such agreement, as subsequently amended and restated, the “Cook Agreement”). The Cook Agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary to Mr. Cook of $200,000 as well as eligibility for an annual bonus targeted at 30% of his base salary.

If the Company terminates Mr. Cook’s employment for any reason other than “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Cook Agreement), Mr. Cook will receive cash severance equal to six months base salary plus a pro-rata portion of the target annual bonus in addition to any unpaid salary, bonus, and unused vacation time not already paid.

Frances Scally, former Interim Chief Financial Officer

On September 26, 2023, the Board appointed Frances Scally as interim CFO of the Company and designated her as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Ms. Scally was not an employee of the Company. The appointment of Ms. Scally was made pursuant to a scope of work agreement and master services agreement with DLA, where Ms. Scally is an employee. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, DLA assigned the services of Ms. Scally to the Company to, among other things, assume the responsibilities of CFO of the Company, serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, assume the responsibilities for the accounting operations of the Company and execute documents on behalf of the Company as directed by the Chief Executive Officer. DLA determines the compensation it pays and benefits it offers to Ms. Scally and we do not have any role in those decisions. The Company paid DLA on an hourly basis for Ms. Scally’s services. We terminated our agreement with DLA on March 29, 2024, at which time Ms. Scally ceased serving as our Interim Chief Financial Officer.

(1)      On February 25, 2022, Mr. Dey received a grant of stock options that vested ratably over three years. As a result of the Company’s cumulative reverse stock splits since the date of grant, which aggregate to 1-for-8,000, less than one share remains subject to such award, and the award is not exercisable.

(2)      On July 7, 2021, Dr. Cook was issued stock options to purchase 9 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $28,000.00 per share. Of those options 5 vested immediately upon grant while the remainder vest upon achievement of certain product development milestones. The foregoing amounts reflect the Company’s cumulative reverse stock splits since the date of grant, which aggregate to 1-for-8,000. Mr. Cook also received a grant of stock options on February 25, 2022, which as a result of the reverse stock splits that have occurred subsequently, constitutes less than one share is therefore not exercisable.

Retirement Benefits

We established a 401(k) tax-deferred savings plan in 2022, which permits participants, including our NEOs, to make contributions by salary deduction pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are responsible for the administrative costs of the 401(k) plan. We may, in our discretion, make matching contributions to the 401(k) plan. We contributed $16,371 in matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan for NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Insider Trading Policy

We have an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale and other disposition of our securities by our directors, officers and employees. We believe this policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations and listing standards applicable to the Company. In addition, it is our policy to comply with applicable securities and state laws, including insider trading laws, when engaging in transactions in our securities.

Employee, Officer and Director Hedging

Our insider trading policy generally prohibits our directors, officers and employees from:

        engaging in short sales of our securities;

        engaging in transactions in publicly traded options on our securities, such as puts, calls and other derivative securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market; and

        holding securities in a margin account or pledging our securities as collateral for a loan.

Proposal 1:
Election Of Directors

Our Board currently consists of six members: Douglas Wurth, Neil Dey, Svetlana Dey, Donald Chase, Fred Zeidman and Gary Gemignani. Mr. Gemignani has informed the Board that he does not desire to stand for re-election, and his term will therefore expire at the Annual Meeting. In connection with this, the Board has resolved that the size of the Board will be decreased from six to five seats as of the date of the Annual Meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee nominated and the Board approved and recommended all of the remaining five current members of our Board for re-election. All nominees have consented to being named herein and have indicated their intention to serve as our directors, if elected. The Board has no reason to believe that any nominee would be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named as proxies will vote the shares represented by such proxies for the election of the named director nominees. In case any of the nominees becomes unavailable for election to the Board the persons named as proxies will have full discretion and authority to vote or refrain from voting for any other nominees in accordance with their judgment. The Board nominees, if elected, will serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until each successor is duly elected and qualified.

Biographical information for our directors is provided above in the section entitled “Information About Directors and Executive Officers.”

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board

A plurality of the votes cast is required to elect director nominees, and as such, the five nominees who receive the greatest number of “FOR” votes cast by stockholders, entitled to vote at the meeting, will be elected. A nominee who receives a plurality means he or she has received more “FOR” votes than any other nominee for the same director’s seat. Broker non-votes and abstentions will have no effect on this proposal. The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR each of the five nominees for election to our Board.

PROPOSAL 2: approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and
restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, AND effect a reverse
stock split of the Company’s common stock

General

Our Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable and is recommending that our stockholders approve and adopt a proposed certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex A (the Proposal 2 Amendment”), and effect a reverse stock split of all of our outstanding shares of common stock by one of several fixed ratios, 1-for-2, 1-for-3, 1-for-4, 1-for-5, 1-for-6, 1-for-8, 1-for-10, 1-for-15 and 1-for-20 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), with the final decision of whether to file the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) and proceed with the Reverse Stock Split, the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, and the exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be determined by our Board, in its sole discretion and without further action by the Company’s stockholders; provided, our Board will not select a reverse split ratio that will result in us having fewer than 500,000 publicly held shares under Nasdaq continued listing standards. If approved, the Board’s authority to file the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and effect the Reverse Stock Split will expire on the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting.

By approving the Proposal 2 Amendment, stockholders will be approving the Reverse Stock Split at a specific ratio within the range described above as determined by the Board, as it determines to be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Board believes that stockholder approval of the range of Reverse Stock Split ratios (as opposed to approval of a single Reverse Stock Split ratio) provides the Board with maximum flexibility to achieve the purpose of the Reverse Stock Split, as discussed below, and therefore is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

If our stockholders approve the Proposal 2 Amendment and our Board decides to implement the Reverse Stock Split by filing the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of a date and time to be determined by the Board that will be specified in the certificate of amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Effective Time”). If the Board does not file the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State within twelve months from the date of the Special Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the Reverse Stock Split will terminate.

The Reverse Stock Split will be realized simultaneously for all outstanding common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of common stock uniformly and each stockholder will hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split, except for immaterial adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as further described below. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value of our common stock or the number of authorized shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will also affect outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards, as described in “Principal Effects of Reverse Stock Split on Stock Plans and Equity Awards Thereunder” below.

The Proposal 2 Amendment will also affirm that the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Company is authorized to issue is 255,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 250,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Upon approval of the Proposal 2 Amendment and the filing of such Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, the text of Section 4.1 (Authorized Capital Stock) of Article IV (Capitalization) of the Restated Certificate will be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Corporation is authorized to issue is TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE MILLION (255,000,000) shares, consisting of (a) TWO HUNDRED FIFTYMILLION (250,000,000) shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), and (b) FIVE MILLION (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Upon the effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each [2][3][4][5][6][8][10][15][20] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the holder thereof, be combined into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the “First 2025 Annual Meeting Approved Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Common Stock following the First 2025 Annual Meeting Approved Reverse Stock Split shall remain $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares shall be issued, and, in lieu thereof,

21

Table of Contents

the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Each certificate that immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation represented shares of Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.”

The version of the Proposal 2 Amendment filed with the Delaware Secretary of State will include the bracketed number in the text above that corresponds to the final Reverse Stock Split ratio selected and determined by the Board in advance of filing (e.g., either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15 or 20). The versions of the Proposal 2 Amendment reflecting the non-selected ratios will at such time each be abandoned.

Reasons for the Reverse Stock Split

Our Board is seeking stockholder approval of the Proposal 2 Amendment with the primary intent of increasing the price of our common stock in order to continue to meet the Nasdaq Stock Market’s minimum price per share criteria for continued listing on that exchange. Our common stock currently is publicly traded and listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BJDX.” Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the close of business on April 25, 2025, the most recent closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.66 per share. If the trading price were to fall below $1.00 per share, we would not be compliant this requirement. In such event, we would be subject to delisting, and because we consummated reverse stock splits during 2024 with a cumulative ratio of 1-for-400 (following an earlier reverse stock split in 2023 with a ratio of 1-for-20), we would be ineligible for any compliance period under recently implemented Nadsaq listing rules. As a result, such a decline in the price of our common stock, if it were to occur, would be expected to result in the prompt delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

If we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange, our common stock could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, among others:

        a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

        a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

        a limited amount of news and no analyst coverage for us;

        we would no longer qualify for exemptions from state securities registration requirements, which may require us to comply with applicable state securities laws; and

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3) or obtain additional financing in the future.

Our Board believes that the proposed Reverse Stock Split to be implemented pursuant to the Proposal 2 Amendment is a potentially effective means for us to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules and to avoid, or at least mitigate, the likely adverse consequences of our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market by producing the immediate effect of increasing the bid price of our common stock.

Determination of Reverse Stock Split Ratio

Our Board believes that stockholder adoption of several fixed Reverse Stock Split ratios, as opposed to adoption of a single Reverse Stock Split ratio, provides maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of the Reverse Stock Split and, therefore, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In determining which of the approved fixed ratios to implement following the receipt of stockholder approval, the Board (or any authorized committee of the Board) may consider, among other things, factors such as:

        our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;

        the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;

22

Table of Contents

        the number of shares of our common stock outstanding;

        the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our common stock;

        the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market; and

        prevailing general market and economic conditions.

The Board reserves the right to elect to abandon the Proposal 2 Amendment (including all of the fixed Reverse Stock Split ratios), notwithstanding stockholder approval thereof, if our Board determines, in its sole discretion, that the Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In making such determination, our Board will take into account certain factors including the expected trading prices for our common stock, actual or forecasted results of operations and the likely effect of such results on the market price of our common stock, as well as the factors described in the above paragraph.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

By approving the Proposal 2 Amendment, stockholders will approve the Reverse Stock Split which would combine a specific number of shares of common stock into one share. The version of the Proposal 2 Amendment to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State would reflect that Reverse Stock Split number (e.g., either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15 or 20) determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In accordance with these resolutions, the Board will not implement any amendment providing for a different Reverse Stock Split ratio than those specified in this proposal.

As explained above, the Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders receiving a cash payment in lieu of owning a fractional share, as further described in the section titled “Fractional Shares” below. Common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the Company’s continuing obligations under the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Following the Reverse Stock Split, our common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “BJDX,” although it would receive a new CUSIP number.

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If the Proposal 2 Amendment is approved by the Company’s stockholders, and if at such time the Board still believes that the Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Board will determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be implemented. If the Proposal 2 Amendment is approved and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time. The Board will determine the exact timing of the filing of the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State based on its evaluation as to when the filing would be the most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. If approved, the Board’s authority to file the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and effect the Reverse Stock Split will expire on the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting.

Except as described below under the sections titled “Fractional Shares” and “Principal Effects of Reverse Stock Split on Stock Plans and Equity Awards Thereunder,” at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, each whole number of issued and outstanding pre-Reverse Stock Split shares that the Board has determined will be combined into one post-Reverse Stock Split share (based on the Board’s final selection of the fixed ratio to be applied) will, automatically and without any further action on the part of our stockholders, be combined into and become one share of common stock, and each certificate which, immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time represented pre-Reverse Stock Split shares, will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Reverse Stock Split shares.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares not evenly divisible by the number of pre-Reverse

23

Table of Contents

Stock Split shares for which each post-Reverse Stock Split share is to be exchanged, will, in lieu of a fractional share, be entitled, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificate(s) representing such pre-Reverse Stock Split shares (except as described below under “— Book-Entry Shares”), to a cash payment, without interest, in lieu thereof, as set forth in the certificate of amendment.

Stockholders should be aware that, under the escheat laws of the various jurisdictions where stockholders reside, sums due for fractional interests that are not timely claimed after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time may be required to be paid to the designated agent for each such jurisdiction. Thereafter, stockholders otherwise entitled to receive such funds may have to seek to obtain them directly from the state to which they were paid. Stockholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time and the date payment is received.

Book-Entry Shares

If the Reverse Stock Split is effected, stockholders who hold uncertificated shares (i.e., shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical stock certificate), either as direct or beneficial owners, will have their holdings electronically adjusted automatically by our transfer agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold uncertificated shares as direct owners will be sent a statement of holding from our transfer agent that indicates the number of post-Reverse Stock Split shares of our common stock owned in book-entry form.

Certificated Shares

As soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time of the Reverse Stock Split, stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Stock Split has been effected. We expect that our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us or our exchange agent. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Any pre-Reverse Stock Split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-Reverse Stock Split shares. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Anti-Takeover and Dilutive Effects

The Restated Certificate currently provides that the Company may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “black check” preferred stock, which will remain the case whether or not the Proposal 2 Amendment is approved and filed. This preferred stock provides the Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, public or private financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may also be used by the Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable.

We have no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of any capital stock subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose.

Certain Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

We cannot predict whether the Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price per share of our common stock proportionately with the ratio of the combination. The market price of our common stock may also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Further, there are a number of risks associated with the Reverse Stock Split, including:

The liquidity of our common stock may be harmed by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares of common stock that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the stock price does not proportionately increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

24

Table of Contents

The Reverse Stock Split could be viewed negatively by the market and other factors, such as those described above, may adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. Consequently, the market price per post-Reverse Stock Split share may not increase in proportion to the reduction of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split could be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split would increase our number of authorized but unissued shares of stock. We could use the shares that are available for future issuance in dilutive equity financing transactions, or to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner.

The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of our common stock on a post-split basis. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split on Stock Plans and Equity Awards Thereunder

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2018 and 2021 Stock Plans, (collectively, the “Stock Plans”) and the agreements governing equity awards thereunder, the Board or a committee thereof, as applicable, will adjust the number of shares of common stock available for future grant, the number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding awards, the exercise price per share of outstanding stock options, and other terms of outstanding awards issued pursuant to the Stock Plans to equitably reflect the effects of the Reverse Stock Split. With respect to any such outstanding equity awards, the contemplated equitable adjustments will result in approximately the same aggregate exercise price being required to be paid under such stock options, and approximately the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such awards immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise result from the Reverse Stock Split adjustments described above with respect to outstanding equity awards will be eliminated through rounding or as otherwise determined by the Board or a committee thereof in accordance with the terms of such Stock Plans and award agreements thereunder.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the common stock capital account on our balance sheet. However, because the par value of our common stock will remain unchanged at the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the components that make up the common stock capital account will change by offsetting amounts. Depending on the size of the Reverse Stock Split that the Board decides to implement, the stated capital component will be reduced proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split and the additional paid-in capital component will be increased with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Immediately after the Reverse Stock Split, the per share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. All historic share and per share amounts in our financial statements and related footnotes will be adjusted accordingly for the Reverse Stock Split.

Effect on Par Value

The certificate of amendment will not affect the par value of our common stock, which will remain at $0.0001 per share.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the operation, development and growth of our business. While the timing, declaration and payment of any future dividends to holders of our common stock fall within the discretion of our Board and will depend on our operating results, earnings, financial condition, the capital requirements of our business and other factors, our Board expects that the amount of future dividends, if any, would be adjusted accordingly to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

25

Table of Contents

No Going Private Transaction

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the Reverse Stock Split, our Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

No Dissenters’ Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders do not have a right to dissent and are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Proposal 2 Amendment or implementation of the Reverse Stock Split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the Reverse Stock Split. It addresses only stockholders who hold our common stock as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction, and stockholders who acquired their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign and other laws. The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as reorganization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged therefor (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged.

A holder of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares who receives cash will generally be treated as having exchanged a fractional share interest for cash in a redemption by us. The amount of any gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received and generally should be capital gain or loss and generally would be a long-term gain or loss to the extent that the holder’s holding period exceeds 12 months.

The foregoing views are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with their own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to them of the Reverse Stock Split.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our common stock and equity awards granted to them pursuant to the stock plans.

Reservation of Right to Abandon the Reverse Stock Split

We reserve the right to not file the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and to abandon any Reverse Stock Split (including all of the fixed Reverse Stock Split ratios) without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the filing of the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of the State, even if the authority to effect these amendments is approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting. By voting in favor of the Proposal 2 Amendment (including each of the fixed Reverse Stock Split ratios), you are expressly also

26

Table of Contents

authorizing the Board to delay, not proceed with, and abandon, the Reverse Stock Split (including all of the fixed Reverse Stock Split ratios) and the Proposal 2 Amendment if it should so decide, in its sole discretion, that such actions are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

We believe that the approval of this proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. We believe this proposal will be considered to be a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. As a result, we believe that there will be no “broker non-votes” in this proposal. We believe that abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. Unless authority to do so is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote such proxy FOR this proposal. The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR this proposal.

PROPOSAL 3: approve and adopt an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, AND effect aN ADDITIONAL reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock

General

Our Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable and is recommending that our stockholders approve and adopt a proposed certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate, in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex B (the Proposal 3 Amendment”), and effect a further reverse stock split of all of our outstanding shares of common stock (in addition to the one being proposed pursuant to Proposal 2) by one of several fixed ratios, 1-for-2, 1-for-3, 1-for-4, 1-for-5, 1-for-6, 1-for-8, 1-for-10, 1-for-15 and 1-for-20 (the “Additional Reverse Stock Split”), with the final decision of whether to file the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and proceed with the Additional Reverse Stock Split, the effective time of the Additional Reverse Stock Split, and the exact ratio of the Additional Reverse Stock Split to be determined by our Board, in its sole discretion and without further action by the Company’s stockholders; provided, our Board will not select a reverse split ratio that will result in us having fewer than 500,000 publicly held shares under Nasdaq continued listing standards. If approved, the Board’s authority to file the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and effect the Additional Reverse Stock Split will expire on the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting. The Board will not file the Proposal 2 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and implement the Additional Reverse Stock Split unless the Reverse Stock Split described in Proposal 2 has been approved and already implemented via the filing with the Delaware Secretary of State of the Proposal 2 Amendment. The purpose of this proposal is to give the Board additional flexibility to potentially two reverse stock splits during the one-year period following the Annual Meeting, for the reasons described below.

By approving the Proposal 3 Amendment, stockholders will be approving the Additional Reverse Stock Split at a specific ratio within the range described above as determined by the Board, as it determines to be in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Board believes that stockholder approval of the range of Additional Reverse Stock Split ratios (as opposed to approval of a single Additional Reverse Stock Split ratio) provides the Board with maximum flexibility to achieve the purpose of the Additional Reverse Stock Split, as discussed below, and therefore is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

If our stockholders approve the Proposal 3 Amendment and our Board decides to implement the Additional Reverse Stock Split by filing the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Additional Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of a date and time to be determined by the Board that will be specified in the certificate of amendment (the “Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time”). If the Board does not file the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State within twelve months from the date of the Special Meeting, the authority granted in this proposal to implement the Additional Reverse Stock Split will terminate.

The Additional Reverse Stock Split will be realized simultaneously for all outstanding common stock. The Additional Reverse Stock Split will affect all holders of common stock uniformly and each stockholder will hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Additional Reverse Stock Split as that stockholder held immediately prior to the Additional Reverse Stock Split, except for immaterial adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as further described below. The Additional Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value of our common stock or the number of authorized shares of common stock. The Additional Reverse Stock Split will also affect outstanding stock options and other stock-based awards, as described in “Principal Effects of Additional Reverse Stock Split on Stock Plans and Equity Awards Thereunder” below.

The Proposal 3 Amendment will also again affirm that the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Company is authorized to issue is 255,000,000 shares, consisting of (a) 250,000,000 shares of common stock and (b) 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Upon approval of the Proposal 3 Amendment and the filing of such Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, the text of Section 4.1 (Authorized Capital Stock) of Article IV (Capitalization) of the Restated Certificate will be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, which the Corporation is authorized to issue is TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-FIVE MILLION (255,000,000) shares, consisting of (a) TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION (250,000,000) shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”), and (b) FIVE MILLION (5,000,000) shares of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). Upon the effectiveness of this

Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, each [2][3][4][5][6][8][10][15][20] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Corporation or the holder thereof, be combined into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Common Stock (the “Second 2025 Annual Meeting Approved Reverse Stock Split”). The par value of the Common Stock following the Second 2025 Annual Meeting Approved Reverse Stock Split shall remain $0.0001 per share. No fractional shares shall be issued, and, in lieu thereof, the Corporation shall pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Each certificate that immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation represented shares of Common Stock (an “Old Certificate”) shall thereafter represent that number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Common Stock represented by the Old Certificate shall have been combined, subject to the elimination of fractional share interests as described above.”

The version of the Proposal 3 Amendment filed with the Delaware Secretary of State will include the bracketed number in the text above that corresponds to the final Additional Reverse Stock Split ratio selected and determined by the Board in advance of filing (e.g., either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15 or 20). The versions of the Proposal 3 Amendment reflecting the non-selected ratios will at such time each be abandoned.

Reasons for the Additional Reverse Stock Split

Our Board is seeking stockholder approval of the Proposal 3 Amendment with the primary intent of increasing the price of our common stock in order to continue to meet the Nasdaq Stock Market’s minimum price per share criteria for continued listing on that exchange. Our common stock currently is publicly traded and listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BJDX.” Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the close of business on April 25, 2025, the most recent closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.66 per share. If the trading price were to fall below $1.00 per share, we would not be compliant this requirement. In such event, we would be subject to delisting, and because we consummated reverse stock splits during 2024 with a cumulative ratio of 1-for-400 (following an earlier reverse stock split in 2023 with a ratio of 1-for-20), we would be ineligible for any compliance period under recently implemented Nadsaq listing rules. As a result, such a decline in the price of our common stock, if it were to occur, would be expected to result in the prompt delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

If we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange, our common stock could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, among others:

        a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;

        a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;

        a limited amount of news and no analyst coverage for us;

        we would no longer qualify for exemptions from state securities registration requirements, which may require us to comply with applicable state securities laws; and

        a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3) or obtain additional financing in the future.

Our Board believes that the proposed Additional Reverse Stock Split to be implemented pursuant to the Proposal 3 Amendment is a potentially effective means for us to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules and to avoid, or at least mitigate, the likely adverse consequences of our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market by producing the immediate effect of increasing the bid price of our common stock.

While the Board hopes that implementation of the Reverse Stock Split described in Proposal 2 would achieve the foregoing goals and make the Additional Reverse Stock Split unnecessary, it is seeking approval of the Proposal 2 Amendment to implement the Additional Reverse Stock Split to provide the Board with additional flexibility. In particular, given the Company’s need and intent to raise substantial amounts of additional capital, it is possible

29

Table of Contents

that the Company may consummate one or more financing transactions over the next twelve months following the implementation of the Reverse Stock Split described in Proposal 2, and that the trading price of the Company’s common stock could decline following the consummation of such one or more financings. In such a scenario, the Additional Reverse Stock Split may enable the Board to effect an additional reverse stock split at such time with the goal of continuing to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.

Determination of the Additional Reverse Stock Split Ratio

Our Board believes that stockholder adoption of several Additional Reverse Stock Split ratios, as opposed to adoption of a single Additional Reverse Stock Split ratio, provides maximum flexibility to achieve the purposes of the Additional Reverse Stock Split and, therefore, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In determining which of the approved fixed ratios to implement following the receipt of stockholder approval, the Board (or any authorized committee of the Board) may consider, among other things, factors such as:

        our ability to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;

        the historical trading price and trading volume of our common stock;

        the number of shares of our common stock outstanding;

        the then-prevailing trading price and trading volume of our common stock and the anticipated impact of the Additional Reverse Stock Split on the trading market for our common stock;

        the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market; and

        prevailing general market and economic conditions.

The Board reserves the right to elect to abandon the Proposal 3 Amendment (including all of the fixed Additional Reverse Stock Split ratios), notwithstanding stockholder approval thereof, if our Board determines, in its sole discretion, that the Additional Reverse Stock Split is no longer in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In making such determination, our Board will take into account certain factors including the expected trading prices for our common stock, actual or forecasted results of operations and the likely effect of such results on the market price of our common stock, as well as the factors described in the above paragraph.

Principal Effects of the Additional Reverse Stock Split

By approving the Proposal 3 Amendment, stockholders will approve the Additional Reverse Stock Split which would combine a specific number of shares of common stock into one share. The version of the Proposal 3 Amendment to be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State would reflect that Reverse Stock Split number (e.g., either 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 15 or 20) determined by the Board to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In accordance with these resolutions, the Board will not implement any amendment providing for a different Additional Reverse Stock Split ratio than those specified in this proposal.

As explained above, the Additional Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the exchange ratio will be the same for all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Additional Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Additional Reverse Stock Split results in any of our stockholders receiving a cash payment in lieu of owning a fractional share, as further described in the section titled “Fractional Shares” below. Common stock issued pursuant to the Additional Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Additional Reverse Stock Split will not affect the Company’s continuing obligations under the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. Following the Additional Reverse Stock Split, our common stock will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “BJDX,” although it would receive a new CUSIP number.

Procedure for Effecting the Additional Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If the Proposal 3 Amendment is approved by the Company’s stockholders, and if at such time the Board still believes that the Additional Reverse Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, the Board will determine the ratio of the Additional Reverse Stock Split to be implemented. If the Proposal 3 Amendment is approved and filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Additional Reverse Stock Split will become effective as

30

Table of Contents

of the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time. The Board will determine the exact timing of the filing of the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State based on its evaluation as to when the filing would be the most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. If approved, the Board’s authority to file the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and effect the Additional Reverse Stock Split will expire on the first anniversary of the Annual Meeting.

Except as described below under the sections titled “Fractional Shares” and “Principal Effects of the Additional Reverse Stock Split on Stock Plans and Equity Awards Thereunder,” at the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, each whole number of issued and outstanding pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares that the Board has determined will be combined into one post-Additional Reverse Stock Split share (based on the Board’s final selection of the fixed ratio to be applied) will, automatically and without any further action on the part of our stockholders, be combined into and become one share of common stock, and each certificate which, immediately prior to the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time represented pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares, will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Additional Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders of record at the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time of the Additional Reverse Stock Split who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares not evenly divisible by the number of pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares for which each post-Additional Reverse Stock Split share is to be exchanged, will, in lieu of a fractional share, be entitled, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificate(s) representing such pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares (except as described below under “— Book-Entry Shares”), to a cash payment, without interest, in lieu thereof, as set forth in the certificate of amendment.

Stockholders should be aware that, under the escheat laws of the various jurisdictions where stockholders reside, sums due for fractional interests that are not timely claimed after the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time may be required to be paid to the designated agent for each such jurisdiction. Thereafter, stockholders otherwise entitled to receive such funds may have to seek to obtain them directly from the state to which they were paid. Stockholders will not be entitled to receive interest for the period of time between the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time and the date payment is received.

Book-Entry Shares

If the Additional Reverse Stock Split is effected, stockholders who hold uncertificated shares (i.e., shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical stock certificate), either as direct or beneficial owners, will have their holdings electronically adjusted automatically by our transfer agent (and, for beneficial owners, by their brokers or banks that hold in “street name” for their benefit, as the case may be) to give effect to the Additional Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who hold uncertificated shares as direct owners will be sent a statement of holding from our transfer agent that indicates the number of post-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares of our common stock owned in book-entry form.

Certificated Shares

As soon as practicable after the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time of the Additional Reverse Stock Split, stockholders will be notified that the Additional Reverse Stock Split has been effected. We expect that our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. Holders of pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares will be asked to surrender to the exchange agent certificates representing pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for certificates representing post-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by us or our exchange agent. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent. Any pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares submitted for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or other disposition, or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for post-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Anti-Takeover and Dilutive Effects

The Restated Certificate currently provides that the Company may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of “black check” preferred stock, which will remain the case whether or not the Proposal 3 Amendment is approved and filed. This preferred stock provides the Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, public or private financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may also be used by the Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable.

We have no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of any capital stock subsequent to the Additional Reverse Stock Split at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose.

The number of authorized shares of our common stock will not be diluted as a result of the Additional Reverse Stock Split. The common stock and preferred stock that is authorized but unissued provide the Board with flexibility to effect, among other transactions, public or private financings, acquisitions, stock dividends, stock splits and the granting of equity incentive awards. However, these authorized but unissued shares may also be used by the Board, consistent with and subject to its fiduciary duties, to deter future attempts to gain control of us or make such actions more expensive and less desirable. The certificate of amendment would continue to give our Board authority to issue additional shares from time to time without delay or further action by the stockholders except as may be required by applicable law or regulations. The certificate of amendment is not being recommended in response to any specific effort of which we are aware to obtain control of us, nor does our Board have any present intent to use the authorized but unissued common stock or preferred stock to impede a takeover attempt.

Except for the Company’s obligation to issue common stock upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, we have no specific plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement, either oral or written, regarding the issuance of common stock subsequent to the Additional Reverse Stock Split at this time, and we have not allocated any specific portion of the authorized number of shares to any particular purpose.

Certain Risks Associated with the Additional Reverse Stock Split

We cannot predict whether the Additional Reverse Stock Split will increase the market price per share of our common stock proportionately with the ratio of the combination. The market price of our common stock may also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding. Further, there are a number of risks associated with the Additional Reverse Stock Split, including:

The liquidity of our common stock may be harmed by the Additional Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares of common stock that would be outstanding after the Additional Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the stock price does not proportionately increase as a result of the Additional Reverse Stock Split.

The Additional Reverse Stock Split could be viewed negatively by the market and other factors, such as those described above, may adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. Consequently, the market price per post-Additional Reverse Stock Split share may not increase in proportion to the reduction of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the implementation of the Additional Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our shares of common stock following the Additional Reverse Stock Split could be lower than the total market capitalization before the Additional Reverse Stock Split.

The Additional Reverse Stock Split would increase our number of authorized but unissued shares of stock. We could use the shares that are available for future issuance in dilutive equity financing transactions, or to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner.

The Additional Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd lots” of less than 100 shares of our common stock on a post-split basis. These odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or require greater transaction costs per share to sell, than shares in “round lots” of even multiples of 100 shares.

Principal Effects of the Additional Reverse Stock Split on Stock Plans and Equity Awards Thereunder

Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Plans and the agreements governing equity awards thereunder, the Board or a committee thereof, as applicable, will adjust the number of shares of common stock available for future grant, the number of shares of common stock underlying outstanding awards, the exercise price per share of outstanding stock options, and other terms of outstanding awards issued pursuant to the Stock Plans to equitably reflect the effects of the Additional Reverse Stock Split. With respect to any such outstanding equity awards, the contemplated equitable adjustments will result in approximately the same aggregate exercise price being required to be paid under such stock options, and approximately the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon exercise, vesting or settlement of such awards immediately following the Additional Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Additional Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise result from the Additional Reverse Stock Split adjustments described above with respect to outstanding equity awards will be eliminated through rounding or as otherwise determined by the Board or a committee thereof in accordance with the terms of such Stock Plans and award agreements thereunder.

Accounting Matters

The Additional Reverse Stock Split will not affect the common stock capital account on our balance sheet. However, because the par value of our common stock will remain unchanged at the Additional Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, the components that make up the common stock capital account will change by offsetting amounts. Depending on the size of the Additional Reverse Stock Split that the Board decides to implement, the stated capital component will be reduced proportionately based upon the Additional Reverse Stock Split and the additional paid-in capital component will be increased with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Immediately after the Additional Reverse Stock Split, the per share net income or loss and net book value of our common stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. All historic share and per share amounts in our financial statements and related footnotes will be adjusted accordingly for the Additional Reverse Stock Split.

Effect on Par Value

The certificate of amendment will not affect the par value of our common stock, which will remain at $0.0001 per share.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the operation, development and growth of our business. While the timing, declaration and payment of any future dividends to holders of our common stock fall within the discretion of our Board and will depend on our operating results, earnings, financial condition, the capital requirements of our business and other factors, our Board expects that the amount of future dividends, if any, would be adjusted accordingly to reflect the Additional Reverse Stock Split.

No Going Private Transaction

Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the Additional Reverse Stock Split, our Board does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.

No Dissenters’ Appraisal Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, our stockholders do not have a right to dissent and are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the Proposal 3 Amendment or implementation of the Additional Reverse Stock Split, and we will not independently provide our stockholders with any such rights.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Additional Reverse Stock Split

The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the Additional Reverse Stock Split. It addresses only stockholders who hold our common stock as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies,

33

Table of Contents

dealers in securities, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold their pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares as part of a straddle, hedge or conversion transaction, and stockholders who acquired their pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign and other laws. The tax treatment of a stockholder may vary depending upon the particular facts and circumstances of such stockholder. Each stockholder is urged to consult with such stockholder’s own tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences of the Additional Reverse Stock Split.

The Additional Reverse Stock Split is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Assuming the Additional Reverse Stock Split qualifies as reorganization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Additional Reverse Stock Split, except to the extent of cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share interest. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged therefor (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged.

A holder of the pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares who receives cash will generally be treated as having exchanged a fractional share interest for cash in a redemption by us. The amount of any gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the portion of the tax basis of the pre-Additional Reverse Stock Split shares allocated to the fractional share interest and the cash received and generally should be capital gain or loss and generally would be a long-term gain or loss to the extent that the holder’s holding period exceeds 12 months.

The foregoing views are not binding on the Internal Revenue Service or the courts. Accordingly, each stockholder should consult with their own tax advisor with respect to all of the potential tax consequences to them of the Additional Reverse Stock Split.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposal except to the extent of their ownership of shares of our common stock and equity awards granted to them pursuant to the stock plans.

Reservation of Right to Abandon the Additional Reverse Stock Split

We reserve the right to not file the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State and to abandon any Additional Reverse Stock Split (including all of the fixed Additional Reverse Stock Split ratios) without further action by our stockholders at any time before the effectiveness of the filing of the Proposal 3 Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of the State, even if the authority to effect these amendments is approved by our stockholders at the Special Meeting. By voting in favor of the Proposal 3 Amendment (including each of the fixed Additional Reverse Stock Split ratios), you are expressly also authorizing the Board to delay, not proceed with, and abandon, the Additional Reverse Stock Split (including all of the fixed Additional Reverse Stock Split ratios) and the Proposal 3 Amendment if it should so decide, in its sole discretion, that such actions are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Vote Required and Recommendation of the Board of Directors

We expect that the approval of this proposal will require the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the votes cast. We believe this proposal will be considered to be a “routine” matter and, accordingly, if you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other agent that holds your shares, your broker, bank or other agent has discretionary authority to vote your shares on this proposal. As a result, we believe that there will be no “broker non-votes” in this proposal. We believe that abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the outcome of the proposal. Unless authority to do so is withheld, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote such proxy FOR this proposal. The Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR this proposal.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee assists the Board with its oversight responsibilities regarding the Company’s financial reporting process. The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and the reporting process, including the Company’s accounting policies, internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Wolf & Company P.C., the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an audit of the Company’s financial statements.

We have reviewed and discussed with management and Wolf & Company P.C. the Company’s audited financial statements. We discussed with Wolf & Company P.C. the overall scope and plans of their audit. We met with Wolf & Company P.C., with and without management present, to discuss the results of its examinations, its evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.

With regard to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, the Audit Committee (i) reviewed and discussed with management the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2024, and for the year then ended; (ii) discussed with Wolf & Company P.C. the matters required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) received the written disclosures and the letter from Wolf & Company P.C. required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding Wolf & Company P.C.’s communications with the Audit Committee regarding independence; and (iv) discussed with Wolf & Company P.C. their independence.

Based on the review and discussions described above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Company’s Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Availability Of Annual Report On Form 10-K

A copy of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K has been mailed concurrently with this proxy statement to stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, provided that we have not included the exhibits to Form 10-K. We will provide copies of these exhibits without cost upon request by eligible stockholders. Requests for copies of such exhibits should be mailed to Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc., 360 Massachusetts Avenue, Suite 203, Acton, MA 01720, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

Other Proposed Action

Our Board does not intend to bring any other matters before the Annual Meeting, nor does it know of any matters which other persons intend to bring before the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters not mentioned in this proxy statement properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will vote thereon in accordance with the recommendation of the Board.

Householding Of Proxy Materials

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of brokers with account holders who are the Company’s stockholders may be “householding” our proxy materials. A single copy of the proxy materials may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.
