Such matters are collectively referred to herein as the “Approved Matters.”

Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Amended and Restated Bylaws each permits that any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

On July 6, 2022, the Board approved the Approved Matters. On July 6, 2022, the stockholders owning a majority of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock (the “Majority Stockholders”) approved the Approved Matters by written consent, in accordance with Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws then in effect.

The Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to receive this Information Statement is June 24, 2022, the date that the Company’s stockholders approved the Approved Matters by written consent. As of the close of business on the Record Date, we had 647,886,336 shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote on the matters acted upon in the action by written consent of our stockholders. Each share of our common stock outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date was entitled to one vote.

In accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the proposals regarding the Approved Matters, which were approved by written consent of our stockholders, will not be effective until at least 20 calendar days after the Information Statement is sent or given to the stockholders of record of the Company as of the Record Date.

THE APPROXIMATE DATE ON WHICH THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS FIRST BEING SENT OR GIVEN TO THE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON JUNE 24, 2022 IS JULY 8, 2022.

This Information Statement is provided to the Company’s stockholders of record on the Record Date only for informational purposes in connection with the Approved Matters pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14c and Schedule 14C thereunder.

WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.

The entire cost of furnishing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company. We will request brokerage houses, nominees, custodians, fiduciaries, and other like parties to forward this Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by them.

The following table sets forth the name of the Majority Stockholder, the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Majority Stockholder, the total number of votes that the Majority Stockholder voted in favor of the Actions and the percentage of the issued and outstanding voting equity of the Company that voted in favor thereof.

Name of Majority Stockholder	Number of Shares of Common Stock held		Number of Shares of Series B Preferred held		Number of Votes held by Majority Stockholder			Number of Votes that Voted in favor of the Actions	Percentage of the Voting Equity that Voted in favor of the Actions
Chaya Hendrick		58,627,778		610,000		520,083,767	(1)			57.4795%
TOTAL		58,627,778		610,000		520,083,767				57.4795%

(1)

The votes held by the Majority Stockholder include (i) 58,627,778 of Common Stock and; (ii) 610,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock held by Applied Cryptography, Inc. (“ACI”). The 610,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock represent 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock. The outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any matter with the holders of Common Stock voting together as one (1) class and shall have that number of votes equal to that number of shares of Common Stock which is not less than 51% of the vote required to approve any action, which Nevada law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the shares of Common Stock or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any. As of the Record Date there were 647,886,336 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Accordingly, 610,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are equivalent to the votes of 30,500,000 shares of Common Stock.

ACTION ONE

RE-ELECTION OF THREE DIRECTORS

On July 6, 2022, the Board authorized the re-election of the nominees (the “Nominees”) listed below to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, and on July 6, 2022, the Majority Stockholder approved such re-election by way of the written consent. All the Nominees are currently serving as directors.

The last being a 1,000-acre subdivision named Claire Valley Estates in the Canberra region of Australia.

We believe Ms. Hendrick is qualified to serve on our Board due to her extensive experience in technology development and as an executive at technology companies.

Chaya Hendrick Employment

Previous Employment Agreement

On July 1, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Prior Agreement”) with Chaya Hendrick, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer that expired on July 1, 2017. Pursuant to the Prior Agreement, Ms. Hendrick received an annual base salary of $190,000 per year. Ms. Hendrick was also entitled to receive a management fee equal to $50,000 per year beginning with the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 and each fiscal year thereafter during the term of the Agreement provided that the Company has manufactured its first product. This fee was to increase by 25% per annum at the conclusion of each calendar year and was based on the continued manufacturing and sales of products by the Company. As of the end of the term of the Prior Agreement, no compensation was paid pursuant to this management fee.

Ms. Hendrick was also entitled to participate in any and all benefit plans, from time to time, in effect for senior management, along with vacation, sick and holiday pay in accordance with the Company’s policies established and in effect from time to time. The Company also provided Ms. Hendrick with the use of an automobile of Ms. Hendrick’s choice at a purchase price not to exceed $60,000. Executive’s employment with the Company was subject to termination at any time, with cause, as such terms are defined in the Prior Agreement.

The Prior Agreement may be terminated on 30 days’ notice by Ms. Hendrick but may only be terminated by the Company for “cause.” In the event that Ms. Hendrick’s employment was terminated by the Company, the Company was obligated to pay to Ms. Hendrick an amount equal to $350,000 plus salary remaining on the term of the Prior Agreement.

Addendum to Prior Agreement

On September 30, 2015, the Company and Ms. Hendrick entered into an Addendum to the Agreement (the “Addendum”) pursuant to which in consideration for the issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, Ms. Hendrick granted the Company the first right to purchase or license any patents (the “Patent Option”) relating to “Smartcards” which Ms. Hendrick (i) shall apply for with the relevant patent authorities during the term of the Agreement, and (ii) are currently applied for with the relevant patent authorities or pending as of the date of the Prior Agreement (the “Patent Rights”). In exchange for the Patent Option the Company agrees, during the term of the Prior Agreement, to pay for any fees and/or expenses related to the application for the Ms. Hendrick’s Patent Rights with the relevant patent authorities, including, but not limited to, legal or filing fees. If, upon the Company’s receipt of notice of any Patent Rights of Ms. Hendrick’s in writing (“Patent Notification”) the parties fail to successfully negotiate and execute a purchase or license agreement as it relates to the Patent Right that is the subject of such Patent Notification within 60 calendar days of the receipt of such Patent Notification, Ms. Hendrick shall be permitted to retain or transfer the Patent Rights to a third party without any subsequent notice to the Company.

Amended and Restated Employment Agreement

On July 1, 2017, the Company and Ms. Hendrick entered into an amended and restated employment agreement (“Agreement”) with a duration of sixty (60) months. Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. Hendrick shall receive (i) an annual base salary of $190,000, subject to adjustment at the end of each fiscal year at the discretion of the board of directors, with a minimum increase of 10% per annum for the duration of the term, (ii) an incentive management fee equal to $50,000 upon the Company manufacturing its first product, which shall increase by 25% per annum and based on the continued manufacturing and sales of products by our Company.

The Agreement may be terminated on 30 days’ notice by Ms. Hendrick but may only be terminated by the Company for “cause.” In the event that Ms. Hendrick’s employment is terminated by the Company for such “cause,” the Company is obligated to pay to Ms. Hendrick an amount equal to $350,000 plus the remaining salary on the term of the Agreement.

Director Compensation

ACTION TWO

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK.

On July 6, 2022, the Majority Stockholder authorized the increase of the Company’s shares of authorized Common Stock from 1,200,000,000 to 2,400,000,000.

The Majority Stockholder believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to effect an Increase of Authorized Shares in order to provide additional shares that could be issued in order to raise additional equity capital or other financing activities, stock dividends or the exercise of stock options and warrants and to provide additional shares that could be issued in an acquisition or other form of business combination and to better position the Company for future trading should a transaction be entered into and completed. The future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock on other than a pro rata basis to existing stockholders will dilute the ownership of the current stockholders, as well as their proportionate voting rights.

Attached as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference is the text of the Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation (the “Amended Certificate”) as approved by the Majority Stockholder. The Increase in Authorized Shares will be effected by filing the Amended Certificate with the Secretary of State of Nevada, which is expected to occur approximately twenty (20) days after the mailing of this Information Statement. The Increase in Authorized Shares will become effective upon such filing.

Effects of Amendment.

The following table summarizes the principal effects of the Increase in the Authorized Shares:

	Pre-Increase		Post-Increase
Common Stock
Issued and Outstanding		647,886,336		647,886,336
Authorized		1,200,000,000		2,400,000,000

Potential Anti-takeover effects of the increase in authorized shares.

The implementation of the Increase in Authorized Shares will have the effect of increasing the proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares. Under certain circumstances, this may have an anti-takeover effect. These authorized but unissued shares could be used by the Company to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or to delay or prevent a change of control or changes in or removal of the Board, including a transaction that may be favored by a majority of our stockholders or in which our stockholders might receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Board could issue and sell shares, thereby diluting the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or to propose or complete a tender offer or business combination involving us and potentially strategically placing shares with purchasers who would oppose such a change in the Board or such a transaction.

Although an increased proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have a potential anti-takeover effect, the proposed amendments to our Articles of Incorporation is not in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate the shares of our Common Stock or obtain control of the Company. There are no plans or proposals to adopt other provisions or enter into other arrangements that may have material anti-takeover consequences.

The Board does not intend to use the consolidation as a part of or a first step in a “going private” transaction pursuant to Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Moreover, we are currently not engaged in any negotiations or otherwise have no specific plans to use the additional authorized shares for any acquisition, merger, or consolidation.

No Dissenter’s Rights

No dissenters’ or appraisal rights are available to our stockholders under the Nevada Revised Statutes in connection with the proposed amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to effect the Increase in Authorized Shares.

ACTION THREE

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

On July 6, 2022, the Board authorized the selection of Boyle CPA, LLC as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022, and on July 6, 2022 the Majority Stockholder approved such selection by way of the written consent. Boyle CPA, LLC was first engaged by us on March 23, 2021. Prior to such engagement, Prager Metis CPAs LLC audited our financial statements for the 2019 and 2020 fiscal years.

The following is a summary and description of fees for services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Services	2021		2020
Audit Fees	$	23,000	$	19,546
Audit-Related Fees		0		0
Tax Fees		0		0
All Other Fees		0		0
Total	$	23,000	$	19,546

Audit Fee

The Company incurred, in the aggregate, approximately $23,000 and $19,546 for professional services rendered by its registered independent public accounting firms for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and for the reviews of the financial statements included in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q during those fiscal years.

Audit-Related Fees

The Company incurred approximately $0 and $0 in fees from its registered independent public accounting firms for audit-related services during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Tax Fees

The Company incurred approximately $0 and $0 in fees from its registered independent public accounting firms for tax compliance or tax consulting services during the years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

All Other Fees

The Company incurred $0 and $0 for fees from its registered independent public accounting firms for services rendered to the Company, other than the services covered in “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees” for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

We do not have an audit committee. Our Board performs the function of an audit committee. Section 10A(i) of the Exchange Act prohibits our auditors from performing audit services for us as well as any services not considered to be audit services unless such services are pre-approved by our audit committee or, in cases where no such committee exists, by our Board (in lieu of an audit committee) or unless the services meet certain de minimis standards.

In order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Board periodically considers the independent auditor’s qualifications, performance and independence and whether there should be a regular rotation of our independent external audit firm. We believe the continued retention of Boyle CPA, LLC to serve as the Company’s independent auditor is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

ACTION FOUR

ADVISORY VOTE APPROVING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Section 14A of the Exchange Act entitle SmartMetric’s stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of SmartMetric’s named Executive Officers—meaning Chaya Hendrick, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Jay Needelman, our Chief Financial Officer (the “Named Executive Officers”).

As described in detail in this Information Statement under the heading “Action One—Re-election of Three Directors—Executive Compensation,” SmartMetric strives to provide our Named Executive Officers with a competitive base salary in line with their roles and responsibilities when compared to peer companies of comparable size in similar locations.

We plan to implement a more comprehensive compensation program, which takes into account other elements of compensation, including, without limitation, short and long term compensation, cash and non-cash, and other equity-based compensation such as stock options. We expect that this compensation program will be comparable to the programs of our peer companies and aimed to retain and attract talented individuals.

We will also consider forming a compensation committee to oversee the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The majority of the members of the Compensation Committee would be independent directors.

The Board continually reviews the compensation programs for SmartMetric’s Named Executive Officers to ensure they achieve the desired goals.

On June 24, 2022, the Majority Stockholder approved, on an advisory basis, the Named Executive Officer compensation disclosed in this Information Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on SmartMetric’s executive compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of SmartMetric’s Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this Information Statement.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on SmartMetric or the Board.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth, as of July 6, 2022, certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our Common Stock (a) by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (b) by each director of the Company, (c) by the named executive officers (determined in accordance with Item 402 of Regulation S-K) and (d) by all of our current executive officers and directors as a group.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 647,886,336 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 24, 2022. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of Common Stock subject to options held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable within 60 days of June 24, 2022, if any. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o SmartMetric, Inc., 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 500, Las Vegas, NV.

(1)

In determining beneficial ownership of our common stock as of a given date, the number of shares shown includes shares of common stock which may be acquired on exercise of warrants or options or conversion of convertible securities within 60 days of that date. In determining the percent of common stock owned by a person or entity on June 30, 2021, (a) the numerator is the number of shares of the class beneficially owned by such person or entity, including shares which may be acquired within 60 days on exercise of warrants or options and conversion of convertible securities, and (b) the denominator is the sum of (i) 472,859,208, the total shares of common stock outstanding on September 24, 2021, and (ii) the total number of shares that the beneficial owner may acquire upon conversion of any preferred stock and on exercise of the warrants and options. Unless otherwise stated, each beneficial owner has sole power to vote and dispose of its shares.

The 89,127,778 shares of common stock include (i) 58,627,778 of Common Stock and; (ii) 610,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 30,500,000 shares of common stock held by Applied Cryptography, Inc. (“ACI”) and / or Chaya Hendrick. The outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on any matter with the holders of Common Stock voting together as one (1) class and shall have that number of votes (identical in every other respect to the voting rights of the holder of common stock entitled to vote at any regular or special meeting of Stockholders) equal to that number of common shares which is not less than 51% of the vote required to approve any action, which Nevada law provides may or must be approved by vote or consent of the common shares or the holders of other securities entitled to vote, if any. Each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into fifty (50) shares of Common Stock upon the satisfaction of certain conditions and for purposes of determining a quorum of a shareholder meeting, the outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed the equivalent of 51% of all shares of the Company’s Common Stock entitled to vote at such meetings. Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has sole voting and dispositive power over all of the shares beneficially owned by ACI.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

If hard copies of the materials are requested, we will send only one Information Statement and other corporate mailings to stockholders who share a single address unless we received contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. However, the Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Information Statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the Information Statement was delivered. You may make such a written or oral request by (a) sending a written notification stating (i) your name, (ii) your shared address, and (iii) the address to which the Company should direct the additional copy of the Information Statement, to SmartMetric, Inc., 3960 Howard Hughes Parkway, Suite 500 Las Vegas, NV 89109.

If multiple stockholders sharing an address have received one copy of this Information Statement or any other corporate mailing and would prefer the Company to mail each stockholder a separate copy of future mailings, you may mail notification to, or call the Company at, its principal executive offices. Additionally, if current stockholders with a shared address received multiple copies of this Information Statement or other corporate mailings and would prefer the Company to mail one copy of future mailings to stockholders at the shared address, notification of such request may also be made by mail or telephone to the Company’s principal executive offices.
