Welcome to the special meeting of stockholders of FONAR Corporation. Thank you for joining us today. I will now turn things over to Mr. John Collins, the General Counsel and Acting Corporate Secretary of the company, who will serve as chairman of today's special meeting. Good morning. I'm John Collins, the General Counsel and Acting Corporate Secretary of FONAR Corporation. The Board of Directors has appointed me to act as chairman of this special meeting. We also have Jim Alden, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., who will serve as the Inspector of Election for this special meeting. As the acting corporate secretary of the company, I will record the minutes of this special meeting. As the time is now 11:00 A.M., I now call the special meeting of stockholders to order.

We will now begin the business of the special meeting as set forth in the notice of special meeting dated April 16th, 2026. The time is now 11:02 A.M. Eastern Time on Thursday, May 28th, 2026, and the polls are open for voting on the matters to be presented. If you intend to vote and have not already done so, you must submit your vote online before we close the polls in order for it to be counted. After each item to be voted on is described, and following the Q&A portion of the special meeting, we will close the polls. We will not accept ballots, proxies, revocations, or changes after the closing of the polls. Accordingly, if you have not yet voted, I encourage you to vote online now. If you have already submitted your vote by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to vote now, and your shares will be voted as previously instructed. On April 13th, 2026, the record date fixed by the Board of Directors for determining the stockholders entitled to vote today, there were 6,555,667 shares of company capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at this special meeting, consisting of 6,173,008 shares of common stock, 146 shares of Class B common stock, and 382,513 shares of Class C common stock. I have received the list of all stockholders of record as of that date from the company. The list of stockholders of record is available for inspection by stockholders of record during this special meeting for any reason germane to the special meeting. Stockholders can view the list in the meeting materials section of the virtual shareholder meeting portal. I have proof by affidavit that notice of this special meeting has been duly given as of April 16th, 2026 to the stockholders of record as of the record date, and that a proxy statement and a proxy card have been furnished as of April 16th, 2026, by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to the stockholders of record as of the record date. Prior to this special meeting, the company appointed Jim Alden, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., to serve as Inspector of Election. Prior to this special meeting, Jim signed an oath of Inspector of Election that he will faithfully execute the duties of Inspector of Election with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. I will now turn things over to Jim. Good morning. I've been appointed Inspector of Election and will report the results of the voting tabulated by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. As the Inspector of Election, my function is to decide upon the qualifications of voters, accept their votes, and when balloting on all matters is completed, to certify the final tally of the final votes. I have signed the oath of Inspector of Election. The certificate of appointment, affidavit of mailing, and the oath of Inspector of Election will be filed with the minutes of this special meeting. Shares held by the company stockholders who are virtually attending the special meeting with a valid 16-digit control number are considered present in person for purposes of establishing a quorum. I can report that we have present in person a sufficient number of shares to constitute a quorum, so the special meeting is duly constituted. A tally of all votes will be filed with the report of the Inspector of Election. We can now proceed with the business of the special meeting. Thank you, Jim. This special meeting of stockholders has been called to permit the stockholders of the company to consider and vote upon two proposals. The first proposal, or the merger proposal, is to adopt and approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 23rd, 2025, by and among FONAR LLC, FONAR Acquisition Sub, Inc., and FONAR Corporation, pursuant to which FONAR Acquisition Sub, Inc. will merge with and into FONAR Corporation, with FONAR Corporation surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of FONAR, LLC. The second proposal, or the adjournment proposal, is to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes to adopt and approve the merger agreement at the time of the special meeting. If you intend to vote and have not already done so, you must submit your vote online now in order for it to be counted. As mentioned previously, we will not accept ballots, proxies, revocations, or changes after the closing of the polls. If you have already submitted your vote by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, you do not need to vote now, and your shares will be voted as previously instructed. Pursuant to the authority granted in the proxies, I will now vote the proxies presented prior to the special meeting as directed by those proxies. It is now time to address any questions that were submitted by our stockholders. However, there were no questions that were submitted that are germane to the business of the special meeting as set forth in the company's notice of meeting. We will now record the votes on the merger proposal. This is your last opportunity to submit your vote online in order for it to be counted. The time is now 11:07 A.M. Eastern Time on Thursday, May 28, 2026, and the polls for the merger proposal are now closed. I will now ask Jim Alden, the Inspector of Election, to report the vote. As Inspector of Election, I have examined the vote. The requisite number of shares have been voted for the merger proposal, and the merger proposal has been approved. Following this special meeting, I will submit to the company a final report of the Inspector of Election, certifying that, one, the number of shares of each class of voting stock represented at this special meeting. Two, my canvas of the votes of stockholders cast by ballot, proxy, and online at this special meeting. Three, the count of all votes and ballots. The final report will be filed with the minutes of this special meeting. Thank you. A final vote tally will be publicly disclosed in the company's public filings. Because the merger proposal was approved, the adjournment proposal will not be presented. This concludes the special meeting today. I declare the special meeting now adjourned. Thank you all for joining us in today's virtual meeting of stockholders. This now concludes the meeting. Thank you for joining, and have a pleasant day.
