NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

April 18, 2018

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF RENNOVA HEALTH, INC.

Notice is hereby given that a special meeting of the stockholders of Rennova Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will be held on April 18, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Shutts & Bowen LLP, located at 525 Okeechobee Boulevard, Suite 1100, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, for the following purposes, as described in the attached Proxy Statement:

1.

PROXY STATEMENT

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD APRIL 18, 2018

General

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Rennova Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for use at a special meeting of stockholders to be held on April 18, 2018, at 11:00 a.m., local time (the “Special Meeting”), or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth in this proxy statement and in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held at the offices of Shutts & Bowen LLP, located at 525 Okeechobee Boulevard, Suite 1100, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401. The approximate date that this Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and the enclosed form of Proxy are first being sent to stockholders is on or about March 14, 2018. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) will be mailed or delivered concurrently with this Proxy Statement. The Annual Report is not to be regarded as proxy soliciting materials.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

The Special Meeting is being called to consider the following matters:

Voting Rights and Outstanding Shares

Only holders of record of Common Stock and Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) at the close of business on March 12, 2018 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. At the close of business on the Record Date, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote 499,636,654 shares of Common Stock and 1,750,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Common Stock and the Series F Preferred Stock vote together as a single class. The Company’s Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock are the only classes of securities of the Company entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available at our principal executive offices, 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, for a period of 10 days prior to the Special Meeting for examination by any stockholder.

Each holder of record of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote for each share, voting together as a class, held on all matters to be voted upon. If no choice is indicated on the proxy, the shares will be voted in favor of Proposal 1, Proposal 2, Proposal 3 and Proposal 4.

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes.

Broker Non-Votes

Stockholders that own their shares in “street name” through a stock brokerage account or through a bank or nominee may attend the Special Meeting but may not grant a proxy or vote at the Special Meeting. Instead, the broker, bank or nominee is considered the record holder of those shares and those stockholders must instruct the record holder how they wish their shares to be voted.

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy card with respect to shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock held in a fiduciary capacity (typically referred to as being held in “street name”), but declines to vote on a particular matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include the election of directors, increases in authorized Common Stock for general corporate purposes and ratification of auditors. Non-routine matters include Proposal 1 and amendments to stock plans and issuance of additional securities.

Revocability of Proxies

Any person giving a proxy pursuant to this solicitation has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. It may be revoked by filing with the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the Company’s principal executive offices, 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or it may be revoked by attending the meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

Solicitation

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors. The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies including preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. The Company may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone or personal solicitation by directors, officers or other regular employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services. The Company has retained Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of $5,500 plus out of pocket expenses.

Required Vote

No business can be conducted at the Special Meeting unless a majority of all outstanding shares entitled to vote are either present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting. If a quorum is present the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock and Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a class, is required for approval of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 at the Special Meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares voting at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required for approval of Proposal 3. For this purpose, abstentions and broker non-votes have the same effect as votes cast against a particular proposal. If less than a majority of the shares of our Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock entitled to vote are represented at the Special Meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the Special Meeting to another date, time or place, and notice need not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the Special Meeting before an adjournment is taken.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of our outstanding Common Stock as of November 17, 2017 by (i) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each of our executive officers, and (iv) all executive officers and directors as a group. Except as indicated in the footnotes below, the stockholders listed below possess sole voting and investment power with respect to their shares. None of the following owns any Series F Preferred Stock.

PROPOSAL 1

TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO AMEND THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE SPLIT OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK AT THEIR DISCRETION

Introduction

Our Board of Directors has unanimously authorized and approved, and is submitting for stockholder approval, a proposal to amend our certificate of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock at a ratio to be established by our Board of Directors in its discretion, within a range from 1-for-50 to 1-for-300 (the “Reverse Split”), and to grant the Board of Directors discretionary authority, until March 1, 2019, to determine whether or not to effect the Reverse Split and the exact whole number ratio within the range at which to effect the Reverse Split. In setting the ratio for the Reverse Split, the intention of our Board of Directors would be to increase the trading price of our common stock.

The full text of the proposed amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Amendment”).

If the Board of Directors implements the Reverse Split, the exact ratio for the Reverse Split will be fixed by the Board of Directors. We believe that this discretion is essential because it provides the Board of Directors with the maximum flexibility to react to changing market conditions and to therefore act in the best interests of our Company and our stockholders.

One principal effect of the Reverse Split would be to decrease the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Except for minimal adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described below, the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders since each stockholder would hold the same percentage of common stock outstanding immediately following the Reverse Split as such stockholder held immediately prior to the Reverse Split. The relative voting and other rights that accompany the shares of common stock would not be affected by the Reverse Split.

Although the Reverse Split will not have any dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by our stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease. As a result, the additional authorized shares of common stock will be available for issuance at such times and for such purposes as the Board of Directors may deem advisable without further action by our stockholders, except as required by applicable laws and regulations. We do not have any present plan or intention to issue the additional shares of authorized but unissued common stock that would become available as a result of the proposed Reverse Split.

The Reverse Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” subject to Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Reasons for the Reverse Split

The Board of Directors’ primary objective in proposing the Reverse Split is to increase the per share trading price of our common stock on the OTCQB. The Board of Directors believes that the Reverse Split and any resulting increase in the per share price of our common stock should enhance the acceptability and marketability of our common stock to the financial community and investing public. Many institutional investors have policies prohibiting them from holding lower-priced stocks in their portfolios, which reduces the number of potential buyers of our common stock. Additionally, analysts at many brokerage firms are reluctant to recommend lower-priced stocks to their clients or monitor the activity of lower-priced stocks. Brokerage houses also frequently have internal practices and policies that discourage individual brokers from dealing in lower-priced stocks. Further, because brokers’ commissions on lower-priced stock generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stock, investors in lower-priced stocks pay transaction costs which are a higher percentage of their total share value, which may limit the willingness of individual investors and institutions to purchase our common stock.

If effected, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will have any of the desired effects described above. More specifically, we cannot assure you that after the Reverse Split the trading price of our common stock will increase proportionately to reflect the ratio for the Reverse Split, that the trading price of our common stock will not decrease to its pre-Reverse Split level or that our market capitalization will be equal to the market capitalization before the Reverse Split. The Company effected reverse splits on February 22, 2017 and October 5, 2017 and the price of our common stock has decreased since then to a price lower than it was before such splits.

Potential Disadvantages of a Reverse Stock Split

As noted above, the principal purpose of the Reverse Split would be to help increase the trading price per share of our common stock by a factor of from 50 to 300. We cannot assure you, however, that the Reverse Split will accomplish this objective for any meaningful period of time. While we expect that the reduction in the number of outstanding shares of common stock will increase the trading price of our common stock, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Split will increase the trading price of our common stock by a multiple equal to the Reverse Split ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors, or result in any permanent increase in the trading price of our common stock, which is dependent upon many factors, including our business and financial performance, general market conditions, and prospects for future success. The Company effected reverse splits on February 22, 2017 and October 5, 2017, and the price of our common stock has decreased since then to a price lower than it was before such splits. Should the trading price decline after the Reverse Split, the percentage decline may be greater, due to the smaller number of shares outstanding, than it would have been prior to the Reverse Split. In some cases, as in our February 2017 and October 2017 reverse splits, the per share stock price of companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined back to pre-reverse split levels. In addition, a reverse stock split is often viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, can lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share trading price does not increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Split, then the value of the Company as measured by our stock capitalization will be reduced, perhaps significantly.

The number of shares held by each individual stockholder would be reduced if the Reverse Split is implemented. This will increase the number of stockholders who hold less than a “round lot,” or 100 shares. Typically, the transaction costs to stockholders selling “odd lots” are higher on a per share basis. Consequently, the Reverse Split could increase the transaction costs to existing stockholders in the event they wish to sell all or a portion of their position.

Although the Board of Directors believes that the decrease in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as a consequence of the Reverse Split and the anticipated increase in the trading price of our common stock could encourage interest in our common stock and possibly promote greater liquidity for our stockholders, such liquidity could also be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Split.

Effecting the Reverse Split; Board Discretion to Implement Reverse Split

If approved by stockholders at the Special Meeting and our Board of Directors decides that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to effect the Reverse Split, the Board of Directors will establish an appropriate ratio for the Reverse Split based on several factors existing at such time and the Company will subsequently file the Amendment. Our Board of Directors will consider, among other factors, prevailing market conditions, the likely effect of the Reverse Split on the trading price of our common stock, and the marketability and liquidity of our common stock. The Board of Directors will determine the timing of the filing of the Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the Reverse Split. If the Reverse Split is approved, but Proposal 2 (the increase in the Company’s authorized common stock) is not, the Board of Directors may decide to effect the Reverse Split sooner than it would otherwise because the number of shares of common stock outstanding has reached the maximum number authorized and the Company may be required to issue shares upon the conversion or exercise of other securities. If, for any reason, the Board of Directors deems it advisable, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may abandon the Reverse Split at any time prior to the effectiveness of any filing of the Amendment, without further action by our stockholders. The Reverse Split will be effective as of the date and time set forth in the Amendment (the “Effective Time”).

Upon the filing of the Amendment, without further action on the part of the Company or the stockholders, the outstanding shares of common stock held by stockholders of record as of the Effective Time would be converted into a lesser number of shares of common stock calculated in accordance with the terms of the Amendment, based on a reverse split ratio within a range of 1-for-50 and 1-for-300. In the event of a Reverse Split at a ratio of 1-for 50, for example, if a stockholder holds 200 shares of common stock as of the Effective Time, such stockholder would hold four shares of common stock following such Reverse Split.

Effect on Outstanding Shares, Options, and Certain Other Securities

If the Reverse Split is implemented, the number of shares of our common stock owned by each stockholder will be reduced in the same proportion as the reduction in the total number of shares outstanding, such that the percentage of our common stock owned by each stockholder will remain unchanged, except for any de minimis change resulting from the treatment of any fractional shares that such stockholder would have received as a result of the Reverse Split. The number of shares of common stock that may be received upon conversion, exercise or exchange, as the case may be, of outstanding options or other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock, and the exercise or conversion prices for these securities, will also be adjusted in accordance with their terms, as of the Effective Time.

No Effect on Par Value

If we file the Amendment and implement the proposed Reverse Split, the par value of our common stock will not be affected.

Effect on Registration and Stock Trading

Our common stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and we are subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The proposed Reverse Split will not affect the registration of our common stock under the Exchange Act.

If we implement the proposed Reverse Split, our common stock will continue to trade on the OTCQB under the symbol “RNVA”. However, our common stock would have a new CUSIP number, which is a number used to identify our common stock.

Mechanics of Reverse Split

If this Proposal 1 is approved by the stockholders at the Special Meeting and our Board of Directors decides that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to effectuate the Reverse Split, our stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Split has been effected. The mechanics of the Reverse Split will differ depending upon whether a stockholder holds its shares of common stock in brokerage accounts or “street name” or whether the shares are registered directly in a stockholder’s name and held in book-entry form or certificate form.

Treatment of Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the proposed Reverse Split. Instead, in the event the Reverse Split results in any stockholder being entitled to receive fractional shares that, when aggregated, equal less than a whole share of common stock, in lieu of such fractional shares, stockholders will receive a cash payment equal to such fraction multiplied by the average of the high and low trading prices of the Company’s common stock on the OTCQB during regular trading hours for the five trading-day period ending on the last business day preceding the effective day of the Reverse Split (as adjusted to give effect to the Reverse Split).

For example, if the Board of Directors determines to effect the Reverse Split at a ratio of l-for-50, then a stockholder who holds one hundred twenty-five (125) shares of common stock on a pre-split basis would hold two (2) whole shares on a post-split basis and receive cash in lieu of the fractional share. Also, if the ratio of the Reverse Split is 1-for-50, all stockholders who hold less than 50 shares will only receive cash for their fractional shares in the Reverse Split.

Accounting Consequences

The Reverse 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 as of the Effective Time, the components that comprise the common stock capital account will change by offsetting amounts. Specifically, on our balance sheet, the common stock value would be adjusted downward commensurate with the ratio of the Reverse Split, such that the common stock value would become an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the shares of post-Reverse Split common stock. The additional paid-in capital amount recorded on our balance sheet would be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the common stock was decreased. Additionally, net loss per share would increase proportionately as a result of the Reverse Split since there would be fewer shares outstanding.

No Dissenter’s Rights

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, stockholders will not be entitled to dissenter’s rights with respect to the proposed Amendment to effect the Reverse Split, and the Company does not intend to independently provide stockholders with any such right.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split that we anticipate would affect our stockholders. This discussion is based on the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and current administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date hereof. This summary is provided for your general information only and does not address all aspects of the possible federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split and IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE TO ANY PERSON. In particular, this summary does not consider the federal income tax consequences to our stockholders in light of their individual investment circumstances or to holders subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, and does not address any consequences of the Reverse Split under any state, local or foreign tax laws. Moreover, this description does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, alternative minimum tax, or other tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

ACCORDINGLY, YOU MUST CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE SPLIT TO YOU, INCLUDING THE APPLICATION AND EFFECT OF FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will not take a contrary position to the tax consequences described herein or that such position will be sustained by a court. In addition, U.S. tax laws are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, which may result in U.S. federal income tax considerations different from those summarized below. No ruling from the IRS has been obtained with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Reverse Split.

We believe that the reverse stock split should qualify as a “recapitalization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a stockholder should not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Split. A stockholder’s aggregate tax basis in its post-Reverse Split shares of common stock to be received should be the same as the aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Split shares of common stock to be exchanged therefor. The holding period for the post-Reverse Split shares of common stock received should include the period during which such stockholder held the pre-Reverse Split shares of common stock surrendered therefor, provided all such common stock was held as a capital asset at the Effective Time. Stockholders should consult their tax advisors as to application of the foregoing rules where shares of our common stock were acquired at different times or at different prices.

The Company will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting or tax purposes as a result of the Reverse Split.

Our beliefs regarding the tax consequences of the Reverse Split are not binding upon the IRS, or federal, state or local courts, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or the courts will concur with the positions expressed above. The state and local tax consequences of the Reverse Split may vary significantly as to each stockholder, depending on where he or she resides.

Required Vote

The Reverse Split Proposal requires the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and the Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against this proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, IN ITS DISCRETION WITHIN A RANGE FROM 1-FOR-50 TO 1-FOR-300, SUBJECT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ DISCRETION TO ABANDON SUCH AMENDMENT.

PROPOSAL 2

TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS
AMENDED, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK FROM 500,000,000 TO 3,000,000,000 SHARES

Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 500,000,000 to 3,000,000,000 shares. The amendment will be effected, if approved at the Special Meeting, by the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation in the form set forth in Exhibit B with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Authorized Stock Amendment”).

Purpose and Effect of the Authorized Stock Amendment.

The Company is currently authorized to issue an aggregate of 500,000,000 shares of common stock. As of March 12, 2018, there were outstanding 499,636,654 shares of common stock.

The number of shares outstanding does not include a significant number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt, and shares of our Series I-1, Series I-2 and Series F Preferred Stock or upon exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options. Because we have exhausted essentially all of our authorized Common Stock, the Company is currently unable to issue any of the necessary shares if a holder of the above securities sought to exercise or convert them.

The agreements under which many of such securities were issued require the Company to seek an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock to accommodate all of the possible issuances in the event all of the possible issuances of shares of common stock may not be authorized by the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

The proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is also necessary to provide flexibility to issue shares for general corporate purposes that may be identified in the future including, but not limited to, raising additional equity capital through the issuance of shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or debt or equity securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock, or in the case of Common Stock, adopting additional employee benefit plans (such as Proposal 3) or reserving additional shares for issuance under existing plans and funding the acquisition of other companies. No additional action or authorization by stockholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of such additional shares, unless required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or national securities association trading system on which our Common Stock is then listed or quoted. Examples of circumstances in which further stockholder authorization generally would be required for issuance of such additional shares include (a) transactions that would result in a change of control of the Company, and (b) adoption of, increases in shares available under, or material changes to equity compensation plans.

If all of the shares of Common Stock that could be issued under the Company’s current obligations were issued, the number of shares would significantly exceed even the 3,000,000,000 shares that would be authorized under the Authorized Stock Amendment. As a result, if the Reverse Split is approved by stockholders, the Company, even if the Authorized Stock Amendment becomes effective, may be required to effect the Reverse Split to comply with its obligations under its currently outstanding securities.

The additional authorized shares would become part of the existing class of Common Stock, and the Authorized Stock Amendment would not affect the terms of the outstanding Common Stock or the rights of the holders of the Common Stock. The Company stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to our Common Stock. Should the Board of Directors elect to issue additional shares of Common Stock, existing stockholders would not have any preferential rights to purchase such shares. Therefore, additional issuances of Common Stock could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and share holdings of current stockholders.

Anti−takeover Provisions

We are not introducing this proposal with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti−takeover device. However, this action could, under certain circumstances, have an anti−takeover effect. For example, in the event of a hostile attempt to acquire control of the Company, we could seek to impede the attempt by issuing shares of Common Stock, which would effectively dilute the voting power of the other outstanding shares and increase the potential cost to acquire control of the Company. Further, we could issue additional shares in a manner that would impede the efforts of stockholders to elect directors other than those nominated by the then current Board of Directors. These potential effects of the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares could limit the opportunity for the Company stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or to elect directors of their choice. The following is a description of other anti−takeover provisions in our charter documents and other agreements. We have no current plans or proposals to enter into any other arrangement that could have material anti−takeover consequences.

If this amendment is approved, any subsequent issuance of additional Company shares would increase the number of outstanding Company shares and would dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. The increase in authorized but unissued number of shares could also have possible anti-takeover effects. These authorized but unissued Company shares could (within the limits imposed by applicable law): (1) be issued in a transaction that the stockholders believe to be not desirable; or (2) be issued in one or more transactions that could make a change of control of the Company more difficult or costly, and therefore more unlikely. The additional authorized Company shares could be used to discourage persons from attempting to gain control of the Company by diluting the voting power of shares then outstanding or increasing the voting power of persons that would support the Company’s Board of Directors in a potential takeover situation, including by preventing or delaying a proposed business combination that is opposed by the Board of Directors although perceived to be desirable by some stockholders. The Board of Directors is not aware of any effort by a third party to accumulate our securities or obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise nor does the Company’s Board of Directors have any intention of using additional authorized Company shares to deter a change of control.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Board Composition and Filling Vacancies

Our Bylaws provide that any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. Directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders and each director elected shall hold office until his successor is elected and qualified; provided, however, that unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or by law, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, from the Board of Directors at any meeting of stockholders by a majority of the stock represented and entitled to vote thereat. Vacancies on the Board of Directors by reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or otherwise, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. The directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of directors and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced.

Meetings of Stockholders

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that only a majority of the members of our Board of Directors then in office may call special meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders. Our Bylaws limit the business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders to those matters properly brought before the meeting.

Advance Notice Requirements

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with regard to stockholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our stockholders. These procedures provide that notice of stockholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our Bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all stockholders’ notices. These requirements may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting.

Amendment to Bylaws

The Board of Directors may from time to time make, amend, supplement or repeal the Company’s Bylaws by vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, and the stockholders may change or amend or repeal these Bylaws by the affirmative vote of the majority of holders of the Common Stock. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company’s Bylaws or any of them may be amended or supplemented in any respect at any time, either: (i) at any meeting of stockholders, provided that any amendment or supplement proposed to be acted upon at any such meeting shall have been described or referred to in the notice of such meeting; or (ii) at any meeting of the Board of Directors, provided that any amendment or supplement proposed to be acted upon at any such meeting shall have been described or referred to in the notice of such meeting or an announcement with respect thereto shall have been made at the last previous Board of Directors meeting, and provided further that no amendment or supplement adopted by the Board of Directors shall vary or conflict with any amendment or supplement adopted by the stockholders.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by the entity or person.

Required Vote

The Authorized Stock Amendment requires the favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock and Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a class. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes against the proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION, AS AMENDED, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK FROM 500,000,000 TO 3,000,000,000 SHARES.

PROPOSAL 3

TO APPROVE THE COMPANY’S NEW 2018 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

General

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) has unanimously adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the Rennova Health, Inc. 2018 Incentive Award Plan (the “2018 Plan”) for members of the Board, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries. The 2018 Plan will become effective when the 2018 Plan is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of our Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a class, present, or represented, and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. No awards will be granted under the 2018 Plan until there are shares of authorized Common Stock available.

The Board believes that the 2018 Plan will promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interest of participants to those of Company stockholders and by providing participants with an incentive for outstanding performance.

The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, both incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and performance-based awards to eligible individuals. A summary of the principal provisions of the 2018 Plan is set forth below. The summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the 2018 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit C to this Proxy Statement.

Administration

The 2018 Plan will be administered by the Board. The Board may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend awards to participants other than senior executives of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or employees who are “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the “Code”).

The Board will have the exclusive authority to administer the 2018 Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types and sizes of awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting restriction.

Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the 2018 Plan include all members of the Board, the employees, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by the Board.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

An aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock is proposed to be available for grant pursuant to the 2018 Plan. The shares of Common Stock covered by the 2018 Plan may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or shares purchased in the open market. To the extent that an award terminates, expires or lapses for any reason, any shares subject to the award may be used again for new grants under the 2018 Plan. In addition, shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant or exercise price or tax withholding obligation may be used for grants under the 2018 Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any of its subsidiaries will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2018 Plan.

Awards

The 2018 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and performance-based awards. No determination has been made as to the types or amounts of awards that will be granted to specific individuals pursuant to the 2018 Plan. No awards will be granted under the 2018 Plan until there are shares of authorized Common Stock available.

Stock options, including incentive stock options, as defined under Section 422 of the Code, and nonqualified stock options may be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan. The option exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant. Stock options may be exercised as determined by the Board, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date of grant, provided that a vested nonqualified stock option may be exercised up to 12 months after the optionee’s death. The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which options intended to be incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000, or such other amount as the Code provides.

Upon the exercise of a stock option, the purchase price must be paid in full in either cash or its equivalent, by delivering a promissory note bearing interest at no less than such rate as shall then preclude the imputation of interest under the Code, or by tendering previously acquired shares of Common Stock with a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price (provided such shares have been held for such period of time as may be required by the Board in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences and have a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the option or exercised portion thereof) or other property acceptable to the Board (including through the delivery of a notice that the participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares then issuable upon exercise of the option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the option exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale). However, no participant who is a member of the Board or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act will be permitted to pay the exercise price of an option in any method which would violate Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

Restricted stock may be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan. A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of Stock at a price determined by the Board (including zero), that is nontransferable and may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met. Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achieving performance goals. During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Board.

A stock appreciation right (an “SAR”) is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the SAR.

The other types of awards that may be granted under the 2018 Plan include performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, deferred stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards.

The Board may grant awards to employees who are or may be “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, that are intended to be performance-based awards within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code in order to preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax. Participants are only entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the Board for the period are satisfied. These pre-established performance goals must be based on one or more of the following performance criteria: net income, pre-tax income, operating income, cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow), earnings per share, return on equity, return on invested capital or assets, cost reductions or savings, funds from operations, appreciation in the Fair Market Value of Stock and earnings before any one or more of the following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization. The Board shall define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the performance criteria it selects to use for such awards. These performance criteria may be measured in absolute terms or as compared to any incremental increase or as compared to results of a peer group. With regard to a particular performance period, the Board shall have the discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period. In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Board may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the award. Generally, a participant will have to be employed on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for any period.

Amendment and Termination

The Board, subject to approval of the Board, may terminate, amend, or modify the 2018 Plan at any time; provided, however, that stockholder approval will be obtained for any amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation or stock exchange rule, to increase the number of shares available under the 2018 Plan, to permit the Board to grant options with a price below fair market value on the date of grant, or to extend the exercise period for an option beyond ten years from the date of grant. In addition, absent stockholder approval, no option may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the shares subject to such option below the per share exercise price as of the date the option was granted and, except to the extent permitted by the 2018 Plan in connection with certain changes in capital structure, no option may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an option having a higher per share exercise price.

In no event may an award be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the date the stockholders approve the 2018 Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

With respect to nonqualified stock options, the Company is generally entitled to deduct and the optionee recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. A participant receiving incentive stock options will not recognize taxable income upon grant. Additionally, if applicable holding period requirements are met, the participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the Common Stock received over the option price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of sale and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and the Company will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the incentive stock option will be treated as one which does not meet the requirements of the Code for incentive stock options and the tax consequences described for nonqualified stock options will apply.

The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2018 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified stock options; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); and stock-based performance awards, dividend equivalents and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. Compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, the Company will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income, subject to Code Section 162(m) with respect to covered employees.

New Plan Benefits

No awards will be granted pursuant to the 2018 Plan until it is approved by the Company’s stockholders. In addition, awards are subject to the discretion of the Board. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the 2018 Plan or the benefits that would have been received by such participants if the 2018 Plan had been in effect in the year ended December 31, 2017.

The following table sets forth all of the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to each individual that served as our principal executive officer or principal financial officer during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The Company did not have any other executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR-END

The following table provides information regarding outstanding equity awards held by the named executive officers at December 31, 2017:

AGREEMENTS WITH NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Seamus Lagan

On October 1, 2012, Medytox Solutions, Inc. (“Medytox”) entered into a consulting agreement with Alcimede LLC, which is controlled by Mr. Lagan. This agreement replaced and superseded a previous Alcimede consulting agreement. This agreement was originally for three years, and is now subject to annual renewals thereafter, unless either party gives notice of non-renewal. The agreement provided for a retainer of $20,000 per month and reimbursement to Alcimede for its out of pocket expenses. The parties agreed to cancel the options issued pursuant to the prior agreement. Under the new agreement, Alcimede was issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock of Medytox and 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock of Medytox. In addition, Alcimede received options to purchase (i) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $2.50 per share through December 31, 2017, (ii) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $5.00 per share through December 31, 2017 and (iii) 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox exercisable at $10.00 a share through December 31, 2022. On June 29, 2015, Alcimede exercised the option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The parties agreed to cancel the remaining options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock of Medytox at an exercise price of $5.00 per share and 1,000,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share in connection with the merger of Medytox with the Company on November 2, 2015. The share amounts and exercise prices in this paragraph are on a pre-split and pre-merger basis.

Effective September 11, 2014 and in conjunction with the appointment of Mr. Lagan as our Chief Executive Officer, such consulting agreement with Alcimede was amended to provide for a monthly retainer of $31,250, and we agreed to provide Mr. Lagan with an automobile. During the year ended December 31, 2016, Alcimede received a cash bonus of $200,000. On April 1, 2017, Alcimede agreed to a voluntary reduction in the monthly retainer to $20,833 for one year.

Director Compensation

Non-employee directors receive an annual cash retainer of $40,000 and may be granted stock options. We do not pay employee directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation. The Board has the primary responsibility for considering and determining the amount of director compensation.

The following table shows amounts earned by each non-employee Director in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017:

Vote Required

Adoption of the 2018 Plan requires approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a class, who are present, or represented, and entitled to vote thereon, at the Special Meeting.

Recommendation

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE 2018 EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN.

PROPOSAL 4

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING IF NECESSARY TO PERMIT FURTHER SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

Our stockholders are being asked to approve a proposal that will give us authority to adjourn the Special Meeting, if necessary for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3, if there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve and adopt any such Proposal. If this adjournment proposal is approved, our board of directors could adjourn the Special Meeting to any date it chooses. In addition, our board of directors could postpone the Special Meeting before it commences, whether for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies or for other reasons. If the Special Meeting is adjourned for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies, stockholders who have already submitted their proxies at any time before their use do not need to submit new proxies unless they desire to change their voting instructions. The Company does not intend to call a vote on this proposal if Proposals 1, 2 and 3 have been approved at the Special Meeting.

Approval of this Proposal 4 requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes represented by the holders of our Common Stock and Series F Preferred Stock, voting together as a class, at the Special Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. Unless instructions to the contrary are specified in a properly executed and returned proxy, the proxy holders will vote the proxies received by them “FOR” this Proposal 4.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS

VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 4.

Interest of Certain Persons in Opposition to Matters to be Acted Upon

No officer or director has any substantial interest in any of the proposals scheduled to be considered at the Special Meeting other than in their roles as an officer or director.

Miscellaneous

Our management does not intend to present any other items of business and is not aware of any matters other than those set forth in this Proxy Statement that will be presented for action at the Special Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Special Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy intend to vote the shares of our common stock and Series F Preferred Stock that they represent in accordance with their best judgment.

Householding

Regulations regarding the delivery of copies of proxy statements to stockholders permit us, banks, brokerage firms and other nominees to send one proxy statement to multiple stockholders who share the same address under certain circumstances. This practice is known as “householding.” Stockholders who hold their shares through a bank, broker or other nominee may have consented to reducing the number of copies of materials delivered to their address. In the event that a stockholder wishes to revoke a “householding” consent previously provided to a bank, broker or other nominee, the stockholder must contact the bank, broker or other nominee, as applicable, to revoke such consent. If a stockholder wishes to receive a separate proxy statement, we will promptly deliver a separate copy to such stockholder that contacts us by mail at Rennova Health, Inc., 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 or by telephone at (561) 855-1626. Any stockholders of record sharing an address who now receive multiple copies of our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements, and who wish to receive only one copy of these materials per household in the future should also contact Investor Relations by mail or telephone as instructed above. Any stockholders sharing an address whose shares of Common Stock or Series F Preferred Stock are held by a bank, broker or other nominee who now receive multiple copies of our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements, and who wish to receive only one copy of these materials per household, should contact the bank, broker or other nominee to request that only one set of these materials be delivered in the future.

Stockholder Proposals

Stockholders who, in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, wish to present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement in connection with our next annual meeting have to submit their proposals so that they were received by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at our principal executive offices, 400 South Australian Avenue, Suite 800, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, no later than August 7, 2018. As the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission make clear, simply submitting a proposal does not guarantee that it will be included.

In addition, our bylaws provide that for directors to be nominated or other proposals to be properly presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting, an additional notice of any nomination or proposal must be received by us between 60 and 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. If our 2018 Annual Meeting is not held within 30 days of such anniversary date to be timely, the notice by the stockholder must not be later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting was made or the notice of the meeting was mailed. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the 2018 Annual Meeting will not trigger a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder notice as described in this proxy statement.
