You

person at the Annual Meeting.
All
shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted
at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions.
If
your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, you are considered a stockholder of record.
As a stockholder of record at the close of business on August 28, 2024, you can vote in person at the Annual Meeting or using
one of the following methods:
By

If
you submit a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, those shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.
If
your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or otherwise held by a bank or other nominee for your benefit, you are considered the
beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are considered held in “street name”. If you hold your shares in “street
name”, you will receive instructions from your bank, broker, or other nominee describing how to submit your vote for those shares.
If you do not direct your bank, broker, or other nominee on how to vote such shares, they may vote your shares based on their discretion
as to each matter for which they have discretionary authority under the applicable law. On those matters for which applicable law does
not permit banks, brokers, or other nominees to vote in the absence of instructions from the account holder, the bank, broker, or other
nominee will not be able to vote the shares (this is deemed a “broker non-vote”).
If
any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, including, among other things, consideration of a motion
to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place, the individuals named as proxies and acting thereunder will have discretion to
vote on those matters according to their best judgment to the same extent as the person delivering the proxy would be entitled to vote.
If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned, your proxy will remain valid and may be voted at the postponed or adjourned meeting.
You will still be able to revoke your proxy until it is voted. At the date this Proxy Statement went to press, we did not anticipate
that any other matters would be raised at the Annual Meeting.
Quorum
Article
II, Section 8 of the Company’s By-Laws, states that the presence, in person or by proxy, of the “majority of the votes entitled
to be cast on a matter by a voting group shall constitute a quorum.” For this purpose, the holders of the shares of the Company’s
Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, and the Series C Preferred Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, in the aggregate, constitutes
a voting group. A quorum is required in order to transact business at the Annual Meeting. Each Proposal in this Proxy Statement sets
forth the requisite vote for approval of such Proposal.

of the proxy materials and the solicitation by the Board of Directors of proxies. Proxies may be solicited on behalf of the Company in

PROPOSAL
1 – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On
November 17, 2023, the Board appointed Grassi & Co., CPAs, P.C. (“Grassi”) to serve as the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The Board plans to re-appoint Grassi to serve as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. Although we are not required to seek shareholder
ratification of this appointment, the Board believes it to be a matter of good corporate governance to do so.
You
may vote in favor or against this proposal. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes and series
of the Company’s stock cast at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereat, provided a quorum is present, is required to approve
this Proposal 2. If the appointment of Grassi is not ratified, the Board may reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified,
the Board in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent audit firm at any time during the year if it is determined
that such change would be in best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Grassi
has been notified of the location, date, and time of the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Grassi are not required to attend and have
not notified the Company that they will attend the Annual Meeting, although representatives of Grassi are welcome to attend the meeting
if they so choose.

Board
Leadership and Role in Risk Oversight
Our
Board recognizes that selecting the optimal executive leadership structure and the proper combination or separation of roles, such as
the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles, must closely consider and be driven by the needs of the Company at any point in time.
The Board has not formally adopted an overall policy requiring combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents
do not mandate a particular executive management structure. The Board reserves the right to modify the leadership structure as needed
to best meet the changing needs of the Company from time to time.
The
Board oversees our shareholders’ interest in the long-term health and the overall success of the Company and its financial strengths.
The full Board is actively involved in overseeing risk management for the Company. It does so in part through discussion and review of
our business, financial and corporate governance practices and procedures. The Board, as a whole, reviews the risks confronted by the
Company with respect to its operations and financial condition, establishes limits of risk tolerance with respect to the Company’s
activities and ensures adequate property and liability insurance coverage.
Meetings
of the Board and Actions by Written Consent of the Board
During
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, there was one meeting of the Board and ten actions of the Board by the written consent of the Directors
in the absence of a Board meeting. Each such meeting and action by written consent, included the participation of all incumbent Directors
at the time of such meeting or action by written consent.
Stockholder
Communications
A
stockholder may communicate with the Board by directing a written request addressed to our President and Chief Executive Officer at the
address appearing on the first page of this Proxy Statement.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our
equity securities, to file with the SEC reports of ownership and changes in ownership. Officers, Directors and greater than ten percent
shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
solely on such forms furnished to us by our officers and directors and by persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities, we believe that during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, all such reports were filed in a timely manner.
Director
Independence and Board Committees
The
Company’s shares of Common Stock are currently quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets, which does not require that certain of the Company’s
directors qualify as independent or establish a standard for the determination of a director’s independence. The Board of Directors
has determined to apply the independence standards under the
Listing
Rules of Nasdaq to make this determination. Nasdaq provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive
officer or employee of a company or any other individual having a relationship with which, in the opinion of the company’s board
of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The rules
provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
●
the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the Company;
●
the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period
of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including,
among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);
●
the director is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as
an executive officer
●
the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past
three years, any of the executive officer of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity;
●
the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to
which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past
three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is
greater (subject to certain exemptions); or
●
the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or at any time during
the past three years was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s
audit.
Under
such definitions, our Board of Directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and will review the independence
of any new directors based on information provided by each director concerning their background, employment, and affiliations, in order
to make a determination of independence. Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Robert H. Trapp is an independent director.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
We
do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or
any other committees of the Company’s Board of Directors. Our Board does not believe that it is practical due to the limited number
of directors currently serving, nor necessary to have such committees at this point because it believes the functions of such committees
can be adequately performed by the Board as a whole. A compensation committee made up of members of management, including non-independent
Board members, has been commissioned by the Board and is chartered and operating to assist the Board with executive compensation-related
matters.
We
have not adopted procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board.
Audit
Committee Financial Expert
The
Board does not currently have an Audit Committee. The duties of members of an Audit Committee are currently carried out by the Board
as a whole.
Code
of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our
Board of Directors has adopted (i) a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and (ii) a Conflicts of Interest Policy that apply to our directors,
officers, and employees. Copies of these documents are available in print to any person, without charge, upon written request to our
Investor Relations Department at 5200 Tennyson Parkway, Suite 400, Plano, Texas 75024.
Whistleblower
Policy
Sharing
Services Global Corporation is committed to the conduct of its business with honesty and integrity. Accordingly, the Company’s
Board of Directors has adopted a formal policy (the “Whistleblower Policy”) that requires its Directors, officers, employees,
and volunteers (each, a “Company Individual”) to observe high standards of business and personal ethics in the conduct of
their duties and responsibilities. As such, the policy: (a) encourages and enables Company Individuals to raise concerns regarding suspected
illegal or unethical conduct or practices or violations of the Company’s policies on a confidential and, if desired, anonymous
basis, (b) protects Company Individuals from retaliation for raising any such concerns, and (c) establishes policies and procedures for
the Company to receive and investigate reported concerns and address and correct inappropriate conduct and actions. Under the Company’s
Whistleblower Policy, a Corporate Individual has a responsibility to report in good faith any concerns about actual or suspected violations
of the Company’s policies or any federal, state, or local law or regulation governing the Company’s operations (each, a “Concern”).
The concerns reportable include but are not limited to financial improprieties, accounting or audit matters, ethical violations, or other
similar illegal or improper practices, such as: fraud, theft, embezzlement, bribery or kickbacks, undisclosed conflict of interest, and
similar matters.
Under
the policy, no Company Individual who in good faith reports a Concern or participates in a review or investigation of a Concern shall
be subject to harassment, retaliation, or, in the case of an employee, adverse employment consequences because of such report or participation.
This protection extends to each Company Individual who report in good faith, even if the allegations are, after an investigation, not
substantiated.
The
Company’s Whistleblower Policy provides for Concerns to be reported in writing to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the
“Compliance Officer”). The Compliance Officer, in turn, is required (a) to promptly investigate or oversee the investigation
of each reported Concern, (b) to advice the Board of Director of each reported Concern, and (c) to report relevant compliance activity
to the Board of Directors at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Further, the Compliance Officer is required to promptly notify the
Board of Directors of any Concerns regarding accounting practices, internal controls, or auditing matters, and shall work with the Board
of Directors until the matter is resolved.

of $3.0 million, payable in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, with the number of shares to be calculated at the rate
of $0.20 per share. In April 2021, Sharing Services issued 27.0 million shares of its Class A Common Stock to DSSI, including 15.0 million
shares in payment of the loan origination fee and 12.0 million shares in prepayment of interest on a loan for the first year.
In
January 2022, the Company and DSS who, together with its subsidiaries, entered into a one-year Business Consulting Agreement (the “Consulting
Agreement”) pursuant to which the DSS will provide to the Company certain consulting services, as defined in the Consulting Agreement.
The Consulting Agreement may be terminated by either party on a 60-day’s written notice. In connection with the Consulting Agreement,
the Company agreed to pay DSS and flat monthly fee of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) and DSS received a fully vested detachable Stock
Warrant to purchase up to 50.0 million shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at the exercise price of $0.0001 per share.
On the effective date of the Consulting Agreement, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was $0.07 per share and the
fair value of the Stock Warrant was $3.5 million. The fair value of the Stock Warrant is being recognized as consulting expense over
the term of one year. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized consulting expense of approximately
$3.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in connection with the Consulting Agreement. No service was recognized during the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2024. In February 2022, the Company issued 50.0 million shares of its Common Stock Class A to DSS in connection
with exercise of the Stock Warrant. As of March 31, 2023, the prepaid consulting expense of $2.9 million was fully amortized on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
On
June 15, 2022, the Company and DSSI entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company
issued: (a) a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $27.0 million (the “2022 Note”) in favor of DSSI and

at $0.033 per share, in exchange for the $27.0 million. The 2022 Note bears interest at the annual rate of 8% and is due and payable
on demand or, if no demand, on May 1, 2024. At any time during the term of the 2022 Note, all or part of the Note may be converted into
up to 818,181,819 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, at the option of the holder. In connection with the loan, the Company
agreed to pay to DSSI a loan Origination Fee of $270,000. In addition, DSSI agreed to surrender to the Company all DSSI’s rights
pursuant to: (a) a certain Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $30.0 million issued by the Company in April 2021 in
favor of DSSI, and (b) a certain detachable Warrant to purchase up to 150,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock,
at $0.22 per share, issued concurrently with such $30.0 million note. The Company recognized the transaction with DSSI as a debt extinguishment
in accordance with GAAP. Since DSSI is a related party, the difference between the fair value of the new equity instruments and
the carrying value of the retired equity instruments was recognized as a capital contribution within additional paid-in capital in the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On
February 3, 2023, the Company mutually agreed with DSS to enter into a Letter Agreement (the “DSS Letter Agreement”), pursuant
to which the Company and DSS have agreed to terminate and release all obligations of the Consulting Agreement effective as of December

rights granted by the 2022 Note in exchange for 14,854,159 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The Company issued 25,000,000
shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in full satisfaction, exchange and payment for the exchanges and amendments set forth
in the Agreement. The Company recognized the transaction with DSSI as a debt extinguishment in accordance with GAAP. Since DSSI
is a related party, the difference between the fair value of the new equity instruments and the carrying value of the retired equity
instruments was recognized as a deemed dividend on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On
April 17, 2023, the Company and DSSI mutually agreed in a subsequent Letter Agreement (the “Second DSSI Letter Agreement”)
