MERGER PROPOSED — YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT

To the Stockholders of WaveDancer, Inc. and Firefly Neuroscience, Inc.:

On November 15, 2023, WaveDancer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WaveDancer”), FFN Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of WaveDancer (“Merger Sub”), and Firefly Neuroscience, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Firefly”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1, dated as of January 12, 2024 (the “Amendment”), and as may be further amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub with and into Firefly, with Firefly continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of WaveDancer (following the consummation of the merger and the name change described below, the “combined company”), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the merger, (i) WaveDancer will amend and restate its certificate of incorporation to cause its name to be changed to “Firefly Neuroscience, Inc.” and (ii) Firefly will amend its certificate of incorporation to cause its name to be changed to “Firefly Neuroscience 2023, Inc.” The boards of directors of each of WaveDancer and Firefly have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the merger.

If the merger is completed, (i) each holder of outstanding shares of Firefly common stock and Firefly Series C preferred stock (“Firefly Preferred Stock”) (referred to herein as the Firefly stockholders) will be entitled to receive the number of shares of WaveDancer common stock equal to the number of shares of Firefly common stock they hold (or into which their shares of Firefly Preferred Stock are convertible) multiplied by the exchange ratio, as calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the “Exchange Ratio”), prior to giving effect to the proposed reverse stock split discussed below, or an aggregate of approximately 28,709,802 shares of WaveDancer common stock at closing using the assumed Exchange Ratio of 0.444462 (which is subject to change depending on the net amount of cash WaveDancer has and the number of outstanding securities of Firefly and WaveDancer at the effective time of the merger), (ii) each outstanding option to purchase Firefly common stock that has not been exercised prior to the closing of the merger will be assumed by WaveDancer subject to certain terms contained in the Merger Agreement and will become an option to purchase shares of WaveDancer common stock, subject to adjustment to give effect to the Exchange Ratio, (iii) each outstanding Firefly restricted share unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the merger will accelerate and vest pursuant to the terms thereof, and (iv) each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of common stock of  Firefly has not been exercised prior to the closing of the merger will be assumed by WaveDancer, subject to certain terms contained in the Merger Agreement.

Immediately upon completion of the merger and the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement (i) Firefly stockholders and holders of certain outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of Firefly will own approximately 92% of the fully diluted equity of the combined company, subject to adjustment based on WaveDancer’s net cash at closing, as further described under “THE MERGER — General” in this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and (ii) current WaveDancer stockholders, holders of certain outstanding options and warrants to purchase shares of WaveDancer common stock will own the balance of the fully diluted equity of the combined company. Immediately following the merger, subject to the approval of the current WaveDancer stockholders, it is anticipated that the combined company will effect a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-1.5 and 1-for-20 with respect to its issued and outstanding common stock. The reverse stock split is intended to increase WaveDancer’s stock price to at least $5.00 per share.

WaveDancer common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (also referred to herein as “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “WAVD.” On November 15, 2023, the last full trading day before the announcement of the merger, the last reported sale price of WaveDancer common stock was $1.51 per share, and on January 19, 2024, the latest practicable date prior to the date of this joint proxy and consent solicitation statement/prospectus, the last reported sale price of WaveDancer common stock was $1.52 per share. WaveDancer and Firefly urge you to obtain current market quotations for the price of WaveDancer common stock.

Each of WaveDancer and Firefly expects that the merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and a tax-deferred contribution under Section 351 of the Code.

WaveDancer will hold a special meeting of its stockholders, while Firefly will solicit its stockholders’ approval by written consent. WaveDancer stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the following proposals: (i) to approve, for purposes of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(b), the issuance of shares of WaveDancer common stock to Firefly stockholders and other parties in connection with the merger, the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby or in connection therewith, including with respect to the potential change of control of WaveDancer that may result following the completion of the merger (the “Nasdaq Proposal”), (ii) to approve an amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the combined company, which will be in effect at the effective time of the merger (the “A&R Charter”) to effect a reverse stock split at the discretion of the WaveDancer Board of Directors with a ratio between 1-for-1.5 and 1-for-20 with respect to the issued and outstanding common stock of the combined company immediately following the merger (the “Reverse Stock Split Proposal”), (iii) to approve the A&R Charter, to be effective upon consummation of the merger, including, among other things, changing the name of the combined company to Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (the “A&R Charter Proposal”), (iv) to approve the 2024 Plan (as defined herein) (the “Incentive Plan Proposal”), (v) to approve the sale of all of the outstanding shares of Tellenger, Inc. (the “Tellenger Sale Transaction”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 15, 2023, as it may be amended (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and between WaveDancer and Wavetop Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Tellenger Sale Proposal”), and (vi) to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary, to permit the solicitation of additional proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes on one or more of the proposals presented to WaveDancer stockholders (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

WaveDancer stockholders will not be able to attend the special meeting in person.

Completion of the merger is conditioned upon satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions under the Merger Agreement, including, among other things, (i) the approval by WaveDancer stockholders of (a) the Nasdaq Proposal, which requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, (b) the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, which requires the number of votes cast for such proposal to exceed the number of votes cast against such proposal by the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, voting as a single class, (c) the A&R Charter Proposal, which requires the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, (d) the Incentive Plan Proposal, which requires the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, and (e) the Tellenger Sale Proposal, which requires the affirmative vote of the majority of outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, and (ii) the adoption and approval of the Firefly Merger Proposal by written consent of the holders of a number of shares of Firefly common stock representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Firefly common stock and Firefly Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis, voting together as a single class.

WaveDancer’s board of directors has determined that it is advisable and in the best interest of WaveDancer and its stockholders to enter into the Merger Agreement, and the WaveDancer board of directors has authorized and approved the terms of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and recommends that WaveDancer stockholders vote “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Reverse Stock Split Proposal, “FOR” the A&R Charter Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Plan Proposal, “FOR” the Tellenger Sale Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The Companies

WaveDancer, Inc.

12015 Lee Jackson Memorial Highway, Suite 210

Fairfax, Virginia, 22033

(703) 383-3000

WaveDancer was originally founded as Information Analysis Incorporated in 1979 as a pioneering information technology consulting and systems engineering company, focused on helping government and commercial organizations move into the information age. In the early 2000s, WaveDancer began specializing in modernization and business transformation to help organizations increase productivity, gain efficiencies, and improve their results through technological transformations. With our acquisition in 2021 of Tellenger, an IT consulting and software development firm, we acquired competencies in web-based solutions, software development, and data analytics. In December 2021, we reorganized our professional services practice into Tellenger, and as a result, our professional services capabilities were consolidated under a single entity. Soon after WaveDancer also converted from a Virginia corporation to a Delaware corporation.

Helping organizations achieve their enterprise digital transformation goals, Tellenger applies its technology, services and experience to migrating and modernizing legacy software, developing web-based and mobile device solutions - including dynamic electronic forms development and conversion - as well as data analytics. Tellenger has modernized over 100 million lines of COBOL code for over 35 governmental and commercial customers. Tellenger maintains a pool of skilled COBOL programmers, providing us with a competitive advantage as the labor pool of such programmers is shrinking as aging software professionals retire.

WaveDancer believed combining web-based solutions and IT enterprise capabilities with system modernization would provide them with the skill sets that would be needed to help organizations achieve their enterprise-wide digital transformation goals. WaveDancer foresaw this as a key component of their modernization growth since there are billions of lines of code, in both the governmental and commercial sectors, that eventually must be modernized.

As a trusted partner, Tellenger offers a full suite of IT services including consulting, development, training, migration and modernization implementation, and on-site project support. With our IT consulting and software development processes appraised at CMMI Level 3 for their ability to consistently deliver high-quality work using metrics to proactively manage risk, Tellenger offers a project framework that meets the “gold standard” of larger firms. Tellenger constantly monitors project metrics to ensure they are meeting objectives and identifying areas for improvement. Tellenger has performed software development and conversion projects for over 100 commercial and government entities across health, military, and homeland security organizations including, but not limited to, the Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of the Navy, Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security, Department of the Treasury, Department of Labor, Department of Logistics Agency, Census Bureau, U.S. Small Business Administration, U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Marine Corps, Department of Veterans Affairs, and General Dynamics Information Technology (formerly Computer Sciences Corporation), publicly traded firms, non-profits, and more.

Through WaveDancer’s acquisition of Gray Matters, Inc. (“GMI” or “Gray Matters”) in December 2021, WaveDancer gained access to blockchain and encryption algorithm technology. Gray Matters’ focus is on the supply chain management software market and in United States intelligence, national security and diplomatic organizations. Based on GMI’s initial technology we developed a commercial blockchain-enabled platform, called Maverix, to provide end-to-end visibility, transparency, and security over complex supply chains.

Prior to March 17, 2023, WaveDancer had two operating segments: Tellenger and Blockchain SCM. Blockchain SCM was comprised of GMI.

On March 17, 2023, WaveDancer sold effectively 75.1% of the equity of GMI to Gray Matters Data Corporation (“GMDC”). In return, the Company received common stock in GMDC representing approximately 24.9% of the equity of GMDC. On August 9, 2023, the Company sold its remaining equity interest in GMDC in exchange for $400,000 in cash, and recognized a gain on sale of $64,525. As of September 30, 2023 the Company has no equity investment in GMDC and no other equity exposure to the GMI business.

Subsequent to the sale on March 17, 2023, WaveDancer discontinued consolidating GMI and the Company reflected GMI as a discontinued operation in its consolidated statements of operations. The classification of GMI comprised all of the material operations of the Blockchain SCM segment as a discontinued operation. After March 17, 2023, the Company managed its business as one reportable operating segment, comprised of Tellenger.

Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement with Firefly, WaveDancer’s strategy was to grow its business organically as well as through acquisitions. However, challenges in providing services to citizens throughout the pandemic heightened awareness and accelerated the progress of modernizations efforts with the U.S. Government. Many government agencies became focused on developing their own government digital strategies in order to improve productivity, streamline data sharing, reduce errors and reduce expenses. Automation also gives governments the information they need to make data-driven decisions.

As a result, WaveDancer’s strategy now is to merge with an operating company without regard to its comparability to WaveDancer’s existing business, and to divest its existing business in connection with such merger.

Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated in April, 2022.

Firefly is a medical technology company that has developed its FDA-510(k) cleared Brain Network Analytics software platform (the “BNA Platform”) and is focused on advancing diagnostic and treatment approaches for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders, including depression, dementia, anxiety disorders, concussions, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”). It has taken a period of 15 years and an investment of approximately $60 million, to develop the software, compile the requisite database of brain wave tests, gain patent protection, and receive FDA approval to market and sell the BNA Platform so, as of today, Firefly is in a position to undertake a commercial launch of the BNA Platform. Firefly believes there is great potential for such commercialization, both with respect to pharmaceutical companies in their drug research and clinical trial activities, as well as medical practitioners in their clinics.

The BNA Platform is a software as a medical solution (“SAMS”) that was developed using artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning (“ML”) on Firefly’s extensive proprietary database of standardized, high-definition longitudinal electroencephalograms (“EEG”) of over 17,000 patients representing twelve disorders, as well as clinically normal patients. The BNA Platform, in conjunction with an FDA-cleared EEG system, can provide clinicians with comprehensive insights into brain function (cognition). These insights can enhance a clinician’s ability to accurately diagnose mental illnesses and cognitive disorders and to evaluate what therapy or drug is best suited to optimize a patient’s outcome.

The clinical utility of EEG technology to support better outcomes for patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders has been well documented. Historically, clinical adoption of EEG by medical professionals, including psychiatrists, neurologists, nurse practitioners and general practitioners, has been limited due to the complexity of interpreting EEG recordings and the inability to practically compare a patient’s brain function to that of a clinically normal age -matched patient. Firefly believes that without defining a standard deviation to the norm, it is not possible to objectively assess brain function. By establishing an objective baseline measurement of brain function, the BNA Platform enables clinicians to optimize patient care, leading to improved outcomes for people suffering from mental illnesses and cognitive disorders.

Firefly’s value proposition is supported by real-world use of the BNA Platform. Incorporating the BNA Platform as part of a patient management protocol demonstrated improved response rates, enhanced therapy compliance, reduced non-responder rates and a reduction in need for medication switching among patients. Further, Firefly believes that its extensive clinical database, when combined with advanced AI, provides the opportunity to identify clinically relevant biomarkers that will support better patient outcomes through precision medicine and companion diagnostics. We expect to gather additional data through the clinical deployments and clinical studies conducted by drug companies. This additional data should allow us to discover new biomarkers and objectively measure the impact of therapeutic interventions on patients of different types, further enhancing our platform’s effectiveness. Firefly believes that it will be able to enhance accurate diagnosis and predict what therapy or drug, or a combination thereof, is best suited to optimize patient outcomes. This represents a paradigm shift in how clinicians manage patients with mental illnesses and cognitive disorders holding the potential to transform brain health.

Firefly’s principal executive offices are located at 150 King St. W, 2^nd Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 1J9, its telephone number is 1-888-237-6412, and its website is located at https://fireflyneuro.com/.
