Q:What shares can I vote?
A:You may vote or cause to be voted all shares owned by you as of the close of business on November 18, 2019, the record date. These shares include: (1) shares held directly in your name as a stockholder of record; and (2) shares held for you, as the beneficial owner, through a broker or other nominee, such as a bank.
Q:What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A:Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Record Holder. If your shares are registered directly in your name on the books of SG Blocks maintained with SG Blocks’ transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the “record holder” of those shares, and the proxy statement is sent directly to you by SG Blocks. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant a proxy to someone to vote your shares or to vote in person at the 2019 Special Meeting.

To ensure your shares are voted at the 2019 Special Meeting, you are urged to provide your proxy instructions promptly online or by mailing your signed proxy card in the envelope provided. Please refer to the instructions on the proxy card. Authorizing your proxy will not limit your right to attend the 2019 Special Meeting and vote your shares in person.

Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name (also called a “street name” holder), and the proxy statement is forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account. However, since you are not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2019 Special Meeting unless you bring with you a legal proxy from the stockholder of record. A legal proxy may be obtained from your broker, bank or nominee.

If you hold your shares through a broker and you do not give instructions to the record holder on how to vote, the record holder will be entitled to vote your shares in its discretion on certain matters considered routine, such as the Reverse Stock Split, the Authorized Common Stock Increase and the Adjournment.


Q:Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A:

You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the 2019 Special Meeting. To change your vote or revoke your proxy if you are the record holder, you may (1) notify our Corporate Secretary in writing at SG Blocks, Inc., 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201; (2) submit a later-dated proxy (either by mail or internet), subject to the voting deadlines that are described on the proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable; (3) deliver to our Corporate Secretary another duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or (4) by appearing at the 2019 Special Meeting in person and voting your shares. Attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy unless you specifically so request.

For shares you hold beneficially, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee or, if you have obtained a valid proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2019 Special Meeting and voting in person.

Q:Who can help answer my questions?
A:If you have any questions about the 2019 Special Meeting or how to vote or revoke your proxy, or you need additional copies of this proxy statement or voting materials, you should contact the Corporate Secretary, SG Blocks, Inc., at 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201 or by phone at (646) 240-4235.
Q:How are votes counted?
A:With respect to Proposals 1 - 3, you may vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN.
If you provide specific instructions, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you are a record holder and you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, namely (1)FOR the approval of the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors within a range of one (1) share of common stock for every two (2) to fifty (50) shares of common stock; (2)FOR the approval of the Authorized Common Stock Increase of the number of authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000; and (3)FOR the approval of the Adjournment. If any other matters properly arise at the meeting, your proxy, together with the other proxies received, will be voted at the discretion of the proxy holders.
Q:What is a quorum and why is it necessary?
A:Conducting business at the meeting requires a quorum. The presence, either in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the record date present in person or represented by proxy is necessary to constitute a quorum. Abstentions are treated as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the 2019 Special Meeting. Broker non-votes (which result when your shares are held in “street name”, and you do not tell the nominee how to vote your shares and the nominee does not have discretion to vote such shares or declines to exercise discretion) are treated as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting.
Q:What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
A:To be approved, Proposal 1, which relates to the approval of the Reverse Stock Split within a range of one (1) share of common stock for every two (2) to fifty (50) shares of common stock, must receiveFOR votes from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes with respect this proposal will have the same effect as votingAGAINSTthis proposal (although no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 1 since this is a routine matter for which brokers have discretion to vote if beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions).
To be approved, Proposal 2, which relates to the approval of the Authorized Common Stock Increase to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 25,000,000 to 50,000,000, must receiveFOR votes from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock as of the record date. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes with respect this proposal will have the same effect as votingAGAINST this proposal (although no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2 since this is a routine matter for which brokers have discretion to vote if beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions).


To be approved, Proposal 3, which relates to the approval of the Adjournment of the 2019 Special Meeting, if the Board determines it to be necessary or appropriate to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of the Reverse Stock Split and the Authorized Common Stock Increase, must receiveFOR votes from the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote at the 2019 Special Meeting. Abstentions will be included in the vote tally and will have  the same effect as a voteAGAINST and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of this proposal (although no broker non-votes are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 3 since this is a routine matter for which brokers have discretion to vote if beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions).
If your shares are held in “street name” and you do not indicate how you wish to vote, your broker is permitted to exercise its discretion to vote your shares on certain “routine” matters. The routine matters to be submitted to our stockholders at the 2019 Special Meeting are Proposals 1 and 2 and 3.
We encourage you to voteFOR all three (3) proposals.
Q:What should I do if I receive more than one proxy statement?
A:You may receive more than one proxy statement. For example, if you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy statement. Please follow the voting instructions on all of the proxy statements to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Q:Where can I find the voting results of the 2019 Special Meeting?
A:We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the 2019 Special Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we expect will be filed within four (4) business days of the 2019 Special Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) business days after the 2019 Special Meeting, we intend to file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish results as to matters for which we have final votes and, within four (4) business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to publish the final results.
Q:What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2019 Special Meeting?
A:Other than the three (3) items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the 2019 Special Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Mr. Paul Galvin, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Gerald Sheeran, our Acting Chief Financial Officer, or either of them, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.
Q:How many shares are outstanding and how many votes is each share entitled?
A:Each share of our common stock that is issued and outstanding as of the close of business on November 18, 2019, the record date, is entitled to be voted on all items being voted on at the 2019 Special Meeting, with each share being entitled to one vote on each matter. As of the record date, November 18, 2019, 6,007,791 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.
Q:Who will count the votes?
A:One or more inspectors of election will tabulate the votes.
Q:Is my vote confidential?
A:Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed, either within SG Blocks or to anyone else, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements; (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote; or (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.
Q:Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the 2019 Special Meeting?
A:The Board of Directors is making this solicitation on behalf of SG Blocks, which will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials. Certain of our directors, officers, and employees, without any additional compensation, may also solicit your vote in person, by telephone, or by electronic communication. On request, we will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to stockholders. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, telegram, facsimile and advertisement in periodicals and postings, in each case by our directors, officers and employees without additional compensation. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward solicitation materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in so doing. We may request by telephone, facsimile, mail, electronic mail or other means of communication the return of the proxy cards.


PROPOSAL 1

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF THE ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AT A RATIO TO BE DETERMINED IN THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WITHIN A RANGE OF ONE (1) SHARE OF COMMON STOCK FOR EVERY TWO (2) TO FIFTY (50) SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

General

The Board of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal 3), the optionDirectors has adopted, and is recommending that receives the most votes (a plurality) will be the option deemed chosen by the Company’s stockholders.   Abstentions will not affect the outcome of the vote on Proposal 3.

The proposal toour stockholders approve, the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan (Proposal 4), requires the affirmative (“FOR”) vote of the majority of the votes cast for approval, provided that the affirmative votes cast must represent a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote.  Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal. As anproposed amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as set forth in Proposal 5 below) is necessary in order to have sufficient shares available for issuance under the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan, the approval of Proposal 4 is conditioned upon approval of Proposal 5.

The proposal to approve the amendment of the Company’s Amended andour Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increaseeffect a Reverse Stock Split of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Such amendment will be effected after stockholder approval thereof only in the event the Board of Directors still deems it advisable. Holders of the common stock are being asked to approve the proposal that Article Fourth our Restated Certificate of Incorporation be amended to effect a Reverse Stock Split of the common stock at a ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Board of Directors and publicly announced prior to the effectiveness of any Reverse Stock Split within the range of one (1) share of common stock for every two (2) to fifty (50) shares of common stock and also to decide whether or not to proceed to effect a Reverse Stock Split or instead to abandon the proposed amendment altogether. Pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, our state of incorporation, the Board of Directors must adopt any amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and submit the amendment to stockholders for their approval. The form of proposed amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split is set forth in the certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation attached asAppendix A to this proxy statement. If the Reverse Stock Split is approved by our stockholders and if a certificate of amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation will effect the Reverse Stock Split by reducing the outstanding number of shares of common stock by the ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors and publicly announced prior to the effectiveness of any Reverse Stock Split. If the Board of Directors does not implement an approved Reverse Stock Split prior to the one-year anniversary of this meeting, the Board will seek stockholder approval before implementing any Reverse Stock Split after that time. The Board of Directors may abandon the proposed amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to its effectiveness, whether before or after stockholder approval thereof.

By approving this proposal, stockholders will approve the amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation pursuant to which any whole number of outstanding shares, between and including two and fifty, would be combined into one share of common stock, and authorize the Board of Directors to file a certificate of amendment setting forth such amendment, as determined by the Board of Directors in the manner described herein. If approved, the Board of Directors may also elect not to effect any Reverse Stock Split and consequently not to file any certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Board of Directors believes that stockholder approval of an amendment granting the Board of Directors this discretion, rather than approval of a specified exchange ratio, provides the Board of Directors with maximum flexibility to react to then-current market conditions and, therefore, is in the best interests of our company and its stockholders. The Board of Directors’ decision as to whether and when to effect the Reverse Stock Split will be based on a number of factors, including market conditions, existing and expected trading prices for the common stock, and the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Although our stockholders may approve the Reverse Stock Split, we will not effect the Reverse Stock Split if the Board of Directors does not deem it to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. The Reverse Stock Split, if authorized and if deemed by the Board of Directors to be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders, will be effected, if at all, at a time that is not later than one year from the date of the 2019 Special Meeting. The Board of Directors will publicly announce the ratio selected for the Reverse Stock Split prior to the effectiveness of any such Reverse Stock Split.

This Proposal 1, the proposed approval of the Reverse Stock Split as set forth in the certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, will not change the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 shares to 300,000,000 shares (Proposal 5), requiresor preferred stock, or the affirmative (“FOR”) votepar value of a majority of the outstanding common stock entitledor preferred stock; however effecting the Reverse Stock Split will provide for additional shares of unissued authorized common stock. However, if Proposal 2 (the Authorized Common Stock Increase), is approved and the Board of Directors determined to vote oneffect the amendment for approval.  Abstentions will haveAuthorized Common Stock Increase and not abandon the same effect as a vote “AGAINST”Authorized Common Stock Increase, the proposal.


To ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2014 (Proposal 6), the affirmative (“FOR”) vote of the majority of the votes cast is required, provided that the affirmative votes cast must represent a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote.  Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the proposal.

Please note that the rules that determine how your broker can vote your shares have changed.  Brokers may no longer vote your shares on the election of directors in the absence of your specific instructions as to how to vote.  You must provide your broker with voting instructions so that your vote will be counted.

Brokers that do not receive instructions from the beneficial ownersauthorized number of shares of Commoncommon stock will be increased. As of the date of this proxy statement, our current authorized number of shares of common stock is sufficient to satisfy all of our share issuance obligations and current share plans and we do not have any current plans, arrangements or understandings relating to the issuance of the additional shares of authorized common stock that will become available following the Reverse Stock being voted areSplit.

Purpose and Background of the Reverse Stock Split

On July 1, 2019, we received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock market LLC (Nasdaq) that we were not entitled to vote on any proposal at the Meeting other than to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLPin compliance with Nasdaq Listing rule 5550(a)(2) as the Company’s independent accountants (Proposal 6).  Broker non-votes will have nobid price of our common stock had closed below the required $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days. In accordance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we were given a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 30, 2019, to regain compliance with the requirement. We may be eligible for an additional 180-day extension from Nasdaq.


The Board of Directors has considered the potential harm to us of a delisting of the common stock and has determined that, if the common stock continues to close below $1.00 per share bid price, the consummation of the Reverse Stock Split is the best way to maintain liquidity by achieving compliance with the Nasdaq requirements.

The Board of Directors also believes that the current low per share market price of the common stock has a negative effect on the outcomemarketability of our existing shares. The Board of Directors believes there are several reasons for this effect. First, certain institutional investors have internal policies preventing the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, a variety of policies and practices of broker-dealers discourage individual brokers within those firms from dealing in low-priced stocks. Third, because the brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the electionstock price than commissions on higher priced stocks, the current share price of directors (Proposal 1),the common stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs (commissions, markups or markdowns) that are a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price of the common stock were substantially higher. This factor is also believed to limit the willingness of some institutions to purchase the common stock. The Board of Directors anticipates that a Reverse Stock Split will result in a higher bid price for the common stock, which may help to alleviate some of these problems. The Board of Directors further believes that some potential employees are less likely to work for us if we have a low stock price or are no longer Nasdaq listed, regardless of size of our overall market capitalization.

We expect that, if effected, a Reverse Stock Split of the common stock will increase the market price of the common stock so that we are able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price listing standard. However, the effect of a Reverse Stock Split on the market price of the common stock cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. It is possible that the per share price of the common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the common stock outstanding resulting from the Reverse Stock Split, effectively reducing our market capitalization, and there can be no assurance that the market price per post-reverse split share will either exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price for a sustained period of time. The market price of the common stock may vary based on other factors that are unrelated to the number of shares outstanding, including our future performance.

PLEASE NOTE THAT UNLESS SPECIFICALLY INDICATED TO THE CONTRARY, THE DATA CONTAINED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO SHARE NUMBERS, CONVERSION PRICES AND EXERCISE PRICES OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS, DOES NOT REFLECT THE IMPACT OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT THAT MAY BE EFFECTUATED.

Board Discretion to Implement the Reverse Stock Split

If Proposal No. 1 is approved by the stockholders and the Board determines to effect the Reverse Stock Split, it will consider certain factors in selecting the specific stock split ratio, including prevailing market conditions, the trading price of the common stock and the steps that we will need to take in order to achieve compliance with the bid price requirement and other listing regulations of the Nasdaq. Based in part on the price of the common stock on the days leading up to the filing of the certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation effecting the Reverse Stock Split, the Board of Directors will determine the ratio of the Reverse Stock Split, in the range of 1:2 to 1:50, that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors is the reverse split ratio most likely to allow us to achieve and maintain compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement for listing on the Nasdaq for the longest period of time, while retaining a sufficient number of outstanding, tradeable shares to facilitate an adequate market. The Board of Directors will publicly announce the ratio selected for the Reverse Stock Split prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split within the limits set forth in Proposal No. 1.

Notwithstanding approval of the non-binding advisory resolutionReverse Stock Split by the stockholders, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, abandon the proposed amendment and determine prior to approve the compensationeffectiveness of any filing with the Secretary of State of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal 2), approvalState of a non-binding advisory resolutionDelaware not to determineeffect the frequency with which stockholdersReverse Stock Split prior to the one year anniversary of the Company will be entitled to have an advisory vote on the compensation2019 Special Meeting of stockholders, as permitted under Section 242(c) of the Company’s named executive officers (Proposal 3); orDGCL. If the Board fails to implement the amendment prior to the one-year anniversary of this meeting of stockholders, stockholder approval of the 2014 Incentivewould again be required prior to implementing any Reverse Stock Plan (Proposal 4).  Broker non-votesSplit.

Consequences if Stockholder Approval for Proposal Is Not Obtained

If stockholder approval for Proposal No. 1 is not obtained, we will not be consideredable to file a vote cast, but will be considered a vote againstcertificate of amendment to the amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. If stockholder approval of the Reverse Stock Split is not obtained at the 2019 Special Meeting and we should fail to satisfy the Nasdaq minimum bid price, we will continue to seek stockholder approval of a reverse stock split in order to regain compliance within the time period granted by Nasdaq to regain compliance. If compliance is not achieved by the expiration of period of time we are granted to regain compliance with the Nasdaq requirement, then our stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq. If we were unable to regain compliance during any such period, the common stock would likely be transferred to the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Market.


If we fail to meet all applicable Nasdaq requirements and Nasdaq determines to delist the common stock, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of the common stock and the market price of the common stock could decrease. Delisting could also adversely affect our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and/or result in the loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, commercial partners and employees. In addition, the limited number of authorized shares of the common stock that are neither outstanding nor reserved for issuance could adversely affect our ability to raise capital through equity financings.

Principal Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

If the stockholders approve the proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to implement the Reverse Stock Split and the Board of Directors determines to implement the Reverse Stock Split, we will publicly announce the selected ratio for the Reverse Stock Split and file the certificate of amendment to amend the existing provision of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The text of the form of proposed amendment is set forth in the certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is annexed to this proxy statement asAppendix A.

The Reverse Stock Split will be effected simultaneously for all issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the stock split ratio will be the same for all issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in our company, except that stockholders who would have otherwise received fractional shares will receive cash in lieu of such fractional shares. After the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of the common stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the common stock now authorized, common stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect us continuing to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split is not intended to be, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act.

The Reverse Stock Split may result in some stockholders owning “odd-lots” of less than 100 shares of the common stock. Brokerage commissions and other costs of transactions in odd-lots are generally higher than the costs of transactions in “round-lots” of even multiples of 100 shares. In addition, we will not issue fractional shares in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to receive such fractional shares will receive an amount in cash determined in the manner set forth below under the heading “Fractional Shares.”

Following the effectiveness of any Reverse Stock Split approved by the stockholders and implementation by the Board of Directors, current stockholders will hold fewer shares of common stock, with such number of shares dependent on the specific ratio for the Reverse Stock Split. For example, if the Board approves of a 1-for-5 Reverse Stock Split, a stockholder owning a “round-lot” of 100 shares of common stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split would hold 20 shares of common stock following the Reverse Stock Split. THE HIGHER THE REVERSE RATIO (1-FOR-5 BEING HIGHER THAN 1-FOR-2, FOR EXAMPLE), THE GREATER THE REDUCTION OF RELATED SHARES EACH EXISTING STOCKHOLDER, POST REVERSE STOCK SPLIT, WILL EXPERIENCE.

IF THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT APPROVED, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MAINTAIN THE LISTING OF THE COMMON STOCK ON THE NASDAQ, WHICH COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE LIQUIDITY AND MARKETABILITY OF THE COMMON STOCK.

Risks Associated with the Reverse Stock Split

There are risks associated with the Reverse Stock Split, including that the Reverse Stock Split may not result in a sustained increase in the per share price of our common stock. There is no assurance that:

the market price per share of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common stock outstanding before the Reverse Stock Split;
the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will attract brokers and investors who do not trade in lower priced stocks;
the Reverse Stock Split will result in a per share price that will increase our ability to attract and retain employees and other service providers;
the liquidity of the common stock will increase; and
the closing bid price per share will either exceed or remain in excess of the $1.00 minimum bid price as required by Nasdaq, or that we will otherwise meet the requirements of Nasdaq for continued inclusion for trading on the Nasdaq.

Stockholders should note that the effect of the Reverse Stock Split, if any, upon the market price for our common stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that prices for shares of our common stock after the Reverse Stock Split will be two (2) to fifty (50) times, as applicable, the prices for shares of our common stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, even if the market price of our common stock does rise following the Reverse Stock Split, we cannot assure you that the market price of the common stock immediately after the proposed Reverse Stock Split will be maintained for any period of time. Even if an increased per-share price can be maintained, the Reverse Stock Split may not achieve the desired results that have been outlined above. Moreover, because some investors may view the Reverse Stock Split negatively, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will not adversely impact the market price of the common stock.


The market price of the common stock will also be based on our performance and other factors, some of which are unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split or the number of shares outstanding. If the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the market price of the common stock declines, the percentage decline as an absolute number and as a percentage of our overall market capitalization may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. The total market capitalization of the common stock after implementation of the Reverse Stock Split when and if implemented may also be lower than the total market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split. Furthermore, the liquidity of the common stock could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.

While we aim that the Reverse Stock Split will be sufficient to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, it is possible that, even if the Reverse Stock Split results in a bid price for the common stock that exceeds $1.00 per share another reverse split may be necessary in the future and we may not be able to continue to satisfy the other criteria for continued listing of the common stock on Nasdaq.

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split may result in greater liquidity for our stockholders. However, it is also possible that such liquidity could be adversely affected by the reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split, particularly if the share price does not increase as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Potential Anti-takeover Effects of a Reverse Stock Split

Release No. 34-15230 of the staff of the SEC requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any action, including the proposals discussed herein, that may be used as an anti-takeover mechanism. The Reverse Stock Split, if effected, will also result in a relative increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock vis-à-vis the outstanding shares of our common stock and, could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the purpose or intent of the Board of Directors. A relative increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000could have other effects on our stockholders, depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. A relative increase in our authorized shares could potentially deter takeovers, including takeovers that the Board of Directors has determined are not in the best interest of our stockholders, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover more difficult. For example, we could issue additional shares so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to obtain control without our agreement. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to 300,000,000 shares (Proposal 5).

Proxies
certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Board requests your proxy.  GivingReverse Stock Split therefore may have the Board your proxy means you authorize iteffect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the Reverse Stock Split may limit the opportunity for our stockholders to vote yourdispose of their shares at the Meetinghigher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal.

Although the Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt, stockholders should be aware that the effect of the Reverse Stock Split could facilitate future attempts by us to oppose changes in control and perpetuate our management, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. We cannot provide assurances that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value, or that they will not adversely affect our business or the trading price of the common stock.

Common Stock

After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each stockholder will own fewer shares of the common stock.

Accordingly, a Reverse Stock Split would result in a significant increase in the manner you direct.  You may vote “FOR” all, somenumber of authorized and unissued shares of common stock. Because our stockholders have no preemptive rights to purchase or nonesubscribe for any of the director nominees.  Youunissued common stock, the future issuance of additional shares of common stock will reduce our current stockholders’ percentage ownership interest in the total outstanding shares of common stock. In the absence of a proportionate increase in our future earnings and book value, an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock would dilute our projected future earnings per share, if any, and book value per share of all our outstanding shares of the common stock. If these factors were reflected in the price per share of our common stock, the potential realizable value of a stockholder’s investment could be adversely affected. An issuance of additional shares could therefore have an adverse effect on the potential realizable value of a stockholder’s investment. As of the date of this filing, SG Blocks does not have any definitive plans, proposals or arrangements to issue any of the newly available authorized shares and unissued shares that result from the Reverse Stock Split for any purpose as its current authorized number of shares of common stock is sufficient for any issuances currently planned or any current issuance obligations.

The following table sets forth the approximate number of shares of the common stock that would be outstanding immediately after the Reverse Stock Split based on the current authorized number of shares of common stock at various exchange ratios, based on 6,007,791 shares of common stock actually outstanding as of November 18, 2019. The table does not account for fractional shares that will be paid in cash.

Procedure for Effecting Reverse Stock Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates, if Applicable

If the certificate of amendment is approved by the stockholders, and if at such time the Board of Directors still believes that a Reverse Stock Split is in our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, the Board of Directors will determine the ratio, within the range approved by SG Blocks’ stockholders, of the Reverse Stock Split to be implemented and will publicly announce the selected ratio for the Reverse Stock Split prior to the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split. We will file the certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at such time as the Board of Directors has determined the appropriate effective time for the Reverse Stock Split. The Board of Directors may delay effecting the Reverse Stock Split without re-soliciting stockholder approval. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective on the effective date set forth in the certificate of amendment. Beginning on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, each certificate representing pre-split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-split shares.

As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Stock Split has been effected. If you hold shares of common stock in a book-entry form, you will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split with instructions. After you submit your completed transmittal letter, if you are entitled to post-split shares of the common stock, a transaction statement will be sent to your address of record as soon as practicable after the effective date of the split indicating the number of shares of the common stock you hold.

Some stockholders hold their shares of common stock in certificate form or a combination of certificate and book-entry form. We expect that our transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates, if applicable. If you are a stockholder holding pre-split shares in certificate form, you will receive a transmittal letter from our transfer agent as soon as practicable after the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split. The transmittal letter will be accompanied by instructions specifying how you can exchange your certificate representing the pre-split shares of the common stock for a statement of holding. When you submit your certificate representing the pre-split shares of the common stock, your post-split shares of the common stock will be held electronically in book-entry form in the Direct Registration System. This means that, instead of receiving a new stock certificate, you will receive a statement of holding that indicates the number of post-split shares you own in book-entry form. We will no longer issue physical stock certificates unless you make a specific request for a share certificate representing your post-split ownership interest.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

Beginning on the effective time of the Reverse Stock Split, each certificate representing pre-split shares will be deemed for all corporate purposes to evidence ownership of post-split shares.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will, upon surrender to the exchange agent of certificates representing their fractional shares, be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the average of the closing sales prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq on the ten days preceding the effective date of the amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation by (ii) the number of shares of the common stock held by such stockholder before the Reverse Stock Split that would otherwise have been exchanged for such fractional share interest. Holders of as many as 49 shares (if we were to implement a 1:50 Reverse Stock Split) of the common stock would be eliminated as a result of the cash payment in lieu of any issuance of fractional shares or interests in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The exact number by which the number of holders of the common stock would be reduced will depend on the Reverse Stock Split ratio adopted and the number of stockholders that hold less than the Reverse Stock Split ratio as of the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split.

9

Effect of the Reverse Stock Split on Outstanding Stock Options and Warrants

Based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio, proportionate adjustments are generally required to be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants. This would result in approximately the same aggregate price being required to be paid under such options or warrants upon exercise, and approximately the same value of shares of common stock being delivered upon such exercise immediately following the Reverse Stock Split as was the case immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split. The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to these securities will be reduced proportionately based upon the Reverse Stock Split ratio.

Accounting Matters

The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the common stock capital account on our balance sheet. However, because the par value of the common stock will remain unchanged on the effective date of the split, the components that make up the common stock capital account will change by offsetting amounts. Depending on the size of the Reverse Stock Split the Board of Directors decides to implement, the stated capital component will be reduced to an amount between one-half (1/2) and one-fiftieth (1/50) of its present amount, and the additional paid-in capital component will be increased with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share net income or loss and net book value of the common stock will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. Prior periods per share amounts will be restated to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split

The following discussion describes the anticipated material United States Federal income tax consequences to “U.S. holders” (as defined below) of Company capital stock relating to the Reverse Stock Split. This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations, judicial authorities, published positions of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), and other applicable authorities, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). We have not obtained a ruling from the IRS or an opinion of legal or tax counsel with respect to the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split. The following discussion is for information purposes only and is not intended as tax or legal advice. Each holder should seek advice based on the holder’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of our capital stock that is for United States Federal income tax purposes:

(i)an individual citizen or resident of the United States;
(ii)a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. Federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the United States, any state, or the District of Columbia;
(iii)an estate with income subject to United States Federal income tax regardless of its source; or
(iv)a trust that (a) is subject to primary supervision by a United States court and for which United States persons control all substantial decisions or (b) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

This discussion assumes that a U.S. holder holds our capital stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Code Section 1221. This discussion does not address all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular stockholder or to stockholders that are subject to special treatment under United States Federal income tax laws including, but not limited to, financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, entities disregarded from their owners for tax purposes, persons that are broker-dealers, traders in securities who elect the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities, or stockholders holding their shares of capital stock as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” or other integrated transaction, or persons who hold their capital stock through individual retirement or other tax-deferred accounts. This discussion also does not address the tax consequences to us, or to our stockholders that own 5% or more of our capital stock, are affiliates of SG Blocks, or are not U.S. holders. In addition, this discussion does not address other United States Federal taxes (such as gift or estate taxes or alternative minimum taxes), the tax consequences of the Reverse Stock Split under state, local, or foreign tax laws or certain tax reporting requirements that may be applicable with respect to the Reverse Stock Split. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences set forth below.

If a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes) is a SG Blocks stockholder, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership, or any equity owner of such other entity will generally depend upon the status of the person and the activities of the partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for United States Federal income tax purposes.


Tax Consequences of the Reverse Stock Split Generally

We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Accordingly, provided that the fair market value of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares is equal to the fair market value of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split:

A U.S. holder will not recognize any gain or loss as a result of the Reverse Stock Split other than cash payments if any, received by a stockholder in lieu of fractional shares as discussed below.
A U.S. holder’s aggregate tax basis in his, her, or its post-Reverse Stock Split shares will be equal to the aggregate tax basis in the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged therefor, less any basis attributable to fractional share interests.
A U.S. holder’s holding period for the post-Reverse Stock Split shares will include the period during which such stockholder held the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split.
For purposes of the above discussion of the basis and holding periods for shares of SG Blocks capital stock, and except as provided therein, holders who acquired different blocks of SG Blocks capital stock at different times for different prices must calculate their basis and holding periods separately for each identifiable block of such stock exchanged, converted, canceled or received in the Reverse Stock Split.
Stockholders who receive cash in lieu of fractional share interests as a result of the Reverse Stock Split will be treated as having received the fractional shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split and then as having exchanged the fractional shares for cash in a redemption by SG Blocks, and will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in lieu of a fractional share and their adjusted basis allocable to the fractional share interests redeemed. Such gain or loss will be long term capital gain or loss if the shares held prior to the Reverse Stock Split were held for more than one year. The stockholder’s holding period for the shares issued after the Reverse Stock Split will include the period during which the stockholder held the shares surrendered in the Reverse Stock Split.

Vote Required to Approve Amendment of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Approval of the Reverse Stock Split as set forth in the certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation included asAppendix A, requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the common stock outstanding entitled to vote at the 2019 Special Meeting as of the record date. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as “against” votes. Approval by our stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split is not conditioned upon approval by our stockholders of the Authorized Common Stock Increase; conversely, approval by our stockholder of the Authorized Common Stock Increase is not conditioned upon approval by our stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT TO OUR RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO EFFECT A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF OUR COMMON STOCK AT A RATIO TO BE DETERMINED IN THE DISCRETION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN THE RANGE OF ONE (1) SHARE OF COMMON STOCK FOR EVERY TWO (2) TO FIFTY (50) SHARES OF COMMON STOCK, AND PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT UNLESS A STOCKHOLDER INDICATES OTHERWISE ON THE PROXY.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT (IN THE EVENT IT IS DEEMED BY THE BOARD TO BE ADVISABLE) TO OUR RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 25,000,000 to 50,000,000

The Board of Directors has adopted a resolution approving and recommending to our stockholders for their approval, a proposed amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect an increase in the number of shares of our authorized common stock from the 25,000,000 shares that are currently authorized for issuance pursuant to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to a total of 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Such amendment will be effected after stockholder approval thereof only in the event the Board of Directors still deems it advisable.

The text of the form of the proposed amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to implement Proposal 2 is set forth in the certificate of amendment annexed to this proxy statement asAppendix B. Assuming the stockholders approve the proposal and the Board of Directors deems it advisable, the Authorized Common Stock Increase will be effected upon the filing of the certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Board of Directors will implement the Authorized Common Stock Increase at such time, if ever, if and when it is deemed by the Board to be advisable. The Board of Directors will also have the discretion to abandon the Authorized Common Stock Increase in authorized shares if the Board of Directors does not believe it to be in the best interests of SG Blocks and our stockholders. If the Board of Directors does not implement an approved Authorized Common Stock Increase prior to the one-year anniversary of the 2019 Special Meeting, the Board of Directors will seek stockholder approval before implementing any authorized Common Stock Increase after that time.

The Board of Directors proposes and recommends increasing the number of shares of our authorized common stock from the 25,000,000 shares that are currently authorized for issuance pursuant to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation to a total of 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Of our 25,000,000 shares of currently authorized common stock, 6,007,791 shares were outstanding as of November 18, 2019, and after taking into account shares underlying outstanding warrants, restricted stock units and outstanding options approximately 16,310,623 of the 25,000,000 shares authorized in our Restated Certificate of Incorporation would be available for issuance.

The Board of Directors currently believes that the Authorized Common Stock Increase is advisable and in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. The Increase will provide us with flexibility in completing financing and capital raising transactions, which may be necessary for us to execute our future business plans. Other possible business and financial uses for the additional shares of common stock include, without limitation, attracting and retaining employees by the issuance of additional securities, and other transactions and corporate purposes that the Board of Directors may deem are in our best interest. We could also use the additional shares of common stock for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments. We believe that the additional authorized shares would enable us to act quickly in response to opportunities that may arise for these types of transactions, in most cases without the necessity of obtaining further stockholder approval and holding a special stockholders’ meeting before such issuance(s) could proceed, except as provided under Delaware law, as applicable, or under applicable Nasdaq rules. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we have no definite plans, proposals or arrangements regarding the newly authorized shares that would be authorized. However, we review and evaluate potential capital raising activities, transactions and other corporate actions on an ongoing basis to determine if such actions would be in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders. We cannot provide assurances that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value, or that they will not adversely affect our business or the trading price of the common stock.

If approved, the Board of Directors may also vote “FOR”elect not to effect the Authorized Common Stock Increase and consequently not to file any certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation. If the Board of Directors fails to implement the certificate of amendment prior to the one-year anniversary of the 2019 Special Meeting of stockholders, stockholder approval would again be required prior to implementing the Authorized Common Stock Increase. Although approval by our stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split is not conditioned upon approval by our stockholders of the Authorized Common Stock Increase; conversely, approval by our stockholder of the Authorized Common Stock Increase is not conditioned upon approval by our stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split, if the stockholders should approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Board of Directors should implement the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock authorized but unissued after implementing the Reverse Stock Split may impact the decision as to whether or “AGAINST”not to effect the Authorized Common Stock Increase since effecting the Reverse Stock Split will provide for additional shares of unissued authorized common stock.

The Authorized Common Stock Increase would not have any immediate dilutive effect on the proportionate voting power or other proposalrights of existing stockholders.

As is true for shares presently authorized but unissued, the future issuance of common stock authorized by the Authorized Common Stock Increase may, among other things, decrease existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership, could be dilutive to the voting rights of existing stockholders and, depending on the price at which they are issued could have a negative effect on the market price of the common stock. In addition, an increase in the number of shares of our authorized common stock could result in an increase in the franchise tax that we would owe to the State of Delaware.


Potential Anti-takeover Effects of the Authorized Common Stock Increase

Release No. 34-15230 of the staff of the SEC requires disclosure and discussion of the effects of any action, including the proposals discussed herein, that may be used as an anti-takeover mechanism. Since the amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the number of authorized shares of common stock will be 50,000,000, the Authorized Common Stock Increase, if effected, will result in an increase in the number of authorized but unissued shares of our common stock which could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, although this is not the purpose or “ABSTAIN” from voting.

A formintent of proxy is enclosedthe Board of Directors. An increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock could have other effects on our stockholders, depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares. An increase in our authorized shares could potentially deter takeovers, including takeovers that designatesthe Board of Directors has determined are not in the best interest of our stockholders, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover more difficult. For example, we could issue additional shares so as to dilute the stock ownership or voting rights of persons named therein as proxiesseeking to voteobtain control without our agreement. Similarly, the issuance of additional shares to certain persons allied with our management could have the effect of making it more difficult to remove our current management by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of persons seeking to cause such removal. The Authorized Common Stock Increase therefore may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts. By potentially discouraging initiation of any such unsolicited takeover attempts, the Authorized Common Stock Increase may limit the opportunity for our stockholders to dispose of their shares at the higher price generally available in takeover attempts or that may be available under a merger proposal.

We have not proposed the Authorized Common Stock Increase with the intention of using the additional authorized shares for anti-takeover purposes, but we would be able to use the additional shares to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes in control or management of SG Blocks. For example, without further stockholder approval, the Board of Directors could authorize the sale of shares of common stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor our current Board of Directors. Although the Authorized Common Stock Increase has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt, stockholders should be aware that the effect of the Authorized Common Stock Increase could facilitate future attempts by us to oppose changes in control of our Company and perpetuate our management, including transactions in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. We cannot provide assurances that any such transactions will be consummated on favorable terms or at all, that they will enhance stockholder value, or that they will not adversely affect our business or the trading price of the common stock.

Vote Required to Approve Amendment of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation

Approval of the amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation included as set forth in the certificate of amendment attached asAppendix B requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock outstanding as of the record date. Abstentions and broker non-votes (to the extent a broker does not exercise its authority to vote, although we do not expect any broker non-votes since this is a routine matter for which brokers have discretion to vote if beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions) will have the same effect as “AGAINST” votes. Approval by our stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split is not conditioned upon approval by our stockholders of the Authorized Common Stock Increase; conversely, approval by our stockholder of the Authorized Common Stock Increase is not conditioned upon approval by our stockholders of the Reverse Stock Split; however, if the stockholders should approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Board of Directors should implement the Reverse Stock Split, the number of shares of common stock authorized but unissued after implementing the Reverse Stock Split may impact the decision as to whether or not to effect the Authorized Common Stock Increase since effecting the Reverse Stock Split will provide for additional shares of unissued authorized common stock.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK INCREASE.

PROPOSAL 3

ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE INSUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 1 OR PROPOSAL 2

Adjournment to Solicit Additional Proxies

If we fail to receive a sufficient number of votes to approve any of Proposal 1 (an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split), and/or Proposal 2 (an amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Authorized Common Stock Increase) we may propose to adjourn the 2019 Special Meeting, if the Board of Directors determines it to be necessary or appropriate for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies to approve Proposal 1 and/or Proposal 2. We currently do not intend to propose adjournment of the 2019 Special Meeting, if there are sufficient votes in favor of each of Proposal 1 and Proposal 2. If our stockholders approve this proposal, we could adjourn the 2019 Special Meeting and any adjourned session of the 2019 Special Meeting and use the additional time to solicit additional proxies, including the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders that have previously voted. Among other things, approval of this proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat Proposal 1 and Proposal 2, we could adjourn the 2019 Special Meeting without a vote on such proposal and seek to convince our stockholders to change their votes in favor of such proposal.

If it is necessary or appropriate (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) to adjourn the 2019 Special Meeting, no notice of the adjourned meeting is required to be given to our stockholders under Delaware law, other than an announcement at the 2019 Special Meeting of the time and place to which the 2019 Special Meeting is adjourned, so long as the meeting is adjourned for 30 days or less and no new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting. At the adjourned meeting, we may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

Required Vote

Approval of the Adjournment requires an affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the 2019 Special Meeting. Each proxy inAbstentions and broker non-votes are not votes cast and therefore will not affect the outcome of this proposal.

Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 3 THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE 2019 SPECIAL MEETING, IF THE BOARD DETERMINES IT TO BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE, TO SOLICIT ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF PROPOSAL 1 AND/OR PROPOSAL 2.

Director Compensation
Director compensation is more fully described below in the “Director Compensation Table” located in the “Executive Compensation” portion of this proxy statement.
Board Committees and Meetings
The Board met on 3 occasions and acted by written consent on 1 occasion during the year ended December 31, 2013.  Each of the directors, other than Joseph Tacopina, attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board; and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served.  There are two committees of the Board: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
Each director is expected to make reasonable efforts to attend Board meetings, meetings of committees of which such director is a member and each annual meeting of Stockholders. The Company did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders in 2013.
The Board has approximately 4 regularly scheduled meetings per year. In addition, special meetings of the Board are called from time to time as determined by the needs of the Company’s business.  The Audit Committee holds meetings on at least a quarterly basis, the Compensation Committee meet no less frequently than once a year, and the independent directors meet as often as necessary to fulfill their responsibilities, including meeting at least annually in executive session without the presence of non-independent directors and management.
9

Audit Committee
The Company has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act.  The Audit Committee has adopted a written charter, which is available, without charge, upon written request to our Chief Administrative Officer at SG Blocks, Inc., 3 Columbus Circle, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10019.  The adequacy of the charter has been reviewed and assessed by the Audit Committee on an annual basis.  The members of the Audit Committee during 2013 were J. Bryant Kirkland III, J. Scott Magrane and Christopher Melton.  Because we are not a “listed company” under the rules of the SEC, we are not required to comply with the director independence requirements of any securities exchange, and we therefore utilize the definition of “independent” set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.  Each of Messrs. Kirkland, Magrane and Melton is independent under the criteria for being “independent” set forth under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.  In addition, the Board has determined that Bryant Kirkland III, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and a non-management director, is an audit committee financial expert serving on the Audit Committee.  The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the Company’s financial reporting activities.  The Audit Committee annually selects independent public accountants to serve as auditors of the Company’s books, records and accounts. The Audit Committee reviews the scope of the audits performed by such auditors, the audit reports prepared by them and discusses with the auditors those matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61.  The Audit Committee also reviews and monitors the Company’s internal accounting procedures and discusses the Company’s Audited Financial Statements with management.  A “Report of the Audit Committee” is included in this proxy statement.  The Audit Committee met on 4 occasions during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee reviews compensation arrangements and personnel matters.  The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter, which is available, without charge, upon written request to our Chief Administrative Officer at SG Blocks, Inc., 3 Columbus Circle, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10019.   The members of the Compensation Committee during 2013 were Messrs. Kirkland, Magrane and Melton.  Each member of the Compensation Committee meets the criteria for being “independent” set forth under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.  The Compensation Committee did not meet or act by written consent during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The Compensation Committee has the ultimate authority to determine compensation of the Company’s executive officers, but may form and delegate authority to subcommittees when appropriate.  The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee reviews director compensation levels and practices, and recommends, from time to time, changes in such compensation levels and practices to the Board (including retainer, committee chairs’ fees, stock options, restricted stock units, and other similar items, as appropriate). The Compensation Committee’s procedures for considering and determining executive and director compensation are detailed in the “Executive Compensation” portion in this proxy statement.

Director Nominations and Stockholder-Director Communications
The Company does not have a nominating committee because the Board does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time. Given the scope of the Company’s operations, our Board believes a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until the Company’s business operations are at a more advanced level.
10

Currently, the entire Board decides on director nominees, on the recommendation of any member of the Board, followed by the Board’s review of the candidates’ resumes and interviews of candidates.  
There has not been any defined policy or procedural requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. However, the Board will consider suggestions from individual stockholders, subject to evaluation of the person’s merits. Stockholders should communicate nominee suggestions directly to any of the Board members, accompanied by biographical details and a statement of support for the nominees. The suggested nominee must also provide a statement of consent to being considered for nomination. Although there are no formal criteria for nominees, the Board believes that persons should be actively engaged in business endeavors, have a financial background, be familiar with acquisition strategies and money management and be able to promote a diversity of views based on the person’s education, experience and professional employment.  Based on the information gathered, the Board then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. The Company does not pay any fee to any third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees. Stockholders wishing to bring a nomination for a director candidate must give written notice to the Board by following the procedure described below under the heading “Procedures for Contacting Directors.”
In order to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials to be distributed in connection with the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company, stockholder proposals for such meeting must comply with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, which generally requires, among other things, that stockholder proposals be received by the Company not later than the close of business on the 120th calendar day prior to the anniversary date on which notice of the prior year’s annual meeting was first released to stockholders.  If the Company did not hold an annual meeting the previous year, or if the date of the current year's annual meeting is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year's meeting, then the deadline is a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials.
Procedures for Contacting Directors
The Company has adopted a procedure by which stockholders may send communications to one or more directors by writing to such director(s) or to the whole Board, care of the Chief Administrative Officer, SG Blocks, Inc., 3 Columbus Circle, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10019.  Any such communications will be promptly distributed by the Chief Administrative Officer to such individual director(s) or to all directors if addressed to the whole Board.
Board Leadership
Our governing documents provide the Board with flexibility to determine the appropriate leadership structure for the Board and the Company, including but not limited to whether it is appropriate to separate the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. In making these determinations, the Board considers numerous factors, including the specific needs and strategic direction of the Company and the size and membership of the Board at the time.
At this time, the Board believes that Mr. Galvin, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is best situated to serve as Chairman of the Board because he is the director most familiar with the Company’s business and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Board also believes that combining the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is the most effective leadership structure for the Company at this time, as the combined position enhances Mr. Galvin’s ability to provide insight and direction on strategic initiatives to both management and the Board, facilitating the type of information flow between management and the Board that is necessary for effective governance.  Additionally, the Board does not believe it is necessary for the Board to have a separately designated lead director, because the volume of matters that came before the Board for consideration permits all directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making.

Risk Oversight
Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management.  In its risk management oversight role, the Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. As a critical part of this risk management oversight role, the Board encourages full and open communication between management and the Board. The Company’s Chairman and CEO meets periodically with the President and other members of management to discuss strategy and risks facing the Company. Senior management attends Board meetings and is available to address any questions or concerns raised by the Board on risk management-related and other matters. The Board periodically receives presentations and reports from senior management on strategic matters involving the Company’s operations to enable it to understand the Company’s risk identification, risk management and risk mitigation strategies.
The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in areas of financial risk, internal controls, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in overseeing risk management in the areas of compensation policies and programs.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our two employees, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.  We will provide, without charge, a copy of the Code of Ethics upon written request to our Chief Administrative Officer at SG Blocks, Inc., 3 Columbus Circle, 16th Floor, New York, New York 10019.
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 reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that, during and with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, all officers and directors complied with applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Board approved the issuance of up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the form of restricted stock or options (the “Board Equity Authorization”). These options generally have the same terms and conditions as those provided under the 2011 Plan, however, the authorization of these options is not subject to stockholder approval. The issuance of these options will be approved by the Board on a case-by-case basis.

During November 2013, the Board approved the 2013 Stock Plan (the “2013 Plan”).  The 2013 Stock Plan has not been approved by the Company’s stockholders.  The 2013 Stock Plan covers up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock, and all officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted awards under the 2013 Stock Plan. The 2013 Stock Plan is administered by the Board.

PROPOSAL 2
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) added Section 14A to the Exchange Act, which requires public companies to hold advisory (non-binding) votes on executive compensation.  Pursuant to the requirements applicable to the Company under the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Board is asking stockholders to cast an advisory vote approving the named executive officer compensation ascorporate actions described in this proxy statement.
The advisory vote on executive compensation is a non-binding vote on the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as described in the Executive Compensation section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation, and the accompanying narrative disclosure, set forth in this proxy statement.  The advisory vote on executive compensation isstatement will not a vote on the Company’s general compensation policies or compensation of the Company’s Board.  The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Company to hold the advisory vote on executive compensation at least once every three years.
We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this proxy statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives ourafford stockholders the opportunity to express their views ondissent from the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practicesactions described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask our stockholder to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Meeting:
RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Summary Compensation Tables, and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative disclosure set forth in this annual meeting proxy statement is, on an advisory basis, hereby APPROVED.
Although this advisory vote is not binding on the Compensation Committee or the Board, the Compensation Committee will carefully consider the outcome of the vote and take into consideration concerns raised by stockholders when determining future compensation arrangements.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast is required to approve the resolution set forth in this Proposal 2, provided that the affirmative votes cast must represent a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL 2.  PROPERLY AUTHORIZED PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL UNLESS INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY ARE GIVEN.
24

PROPOSAL 3
ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE
COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Pursuant to the requirements applicable to the Company under the Dodd-Frank Act and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Board is also asking stockholders to cast an advisory vote on the frequency with which the Company’s stockholders shall have the advisory vote on compensation of our Named Executive Officers provided for in PROPOSAL 2 in this proxy statement. By voting on this PROPOSAL 3, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation every 1 year, every 2 years, or every 3 years.
The advisory vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay vote is a non-binding vote as to how often the say-on-pay vote should occur: every 1 year, every 2 years, or every 3 years.  In addition, stockholders may abstain from voting. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the Company to hold the advisory vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay vote at least once every six years.
After careful consideration, our Board has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every three years is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and therefore our Board of Directors recommends that you vote for “every 3 years” as the frequency for future advisory votes on executive compensation.
Stockholders are being asked to vote, on an advisory basis, on the following resolution to indicate their preferred voting frequency (every 1 year, every 2 years, every 3 years, or abstain from voting):
RESOLVED, that the option of every 1 year, every 2 years, or every 3 years that receives a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders by stockholders voting will be determined to be the preferred frequency of the stockholders with which SG Blocks, Inc. is to hold a stockholder vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of its named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s compensation disclosure rules.
The option of every 1 year, every 2 years, or every 3 years that receives a plurality of the votes cast at the Meeting by stockholders voting on PROPOSAL 3 will be the frequency for the advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers that has been selected by stockholders. The advisory vote will not be binding on the Board. While the Board will carefully consider the outcome of the vote, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.
Vote Required
We will consider the frequency that receives the most votes (a plurality) to be the option deemed chosen by the Company’s stockholders.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE TO CONDUCT FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS EVERY 3 YEARS.  PROPERLY AUTHORIZED PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED FOR THE ALTERNATIVE OF EVERY “3 YEARS” UNLESS INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY ARE GIVEN.

PROPOSAL 4
APPROVAL OF THE 2014 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN
Stockholders are requested in this Proposal 4 to approve the adoption of the 2014 Incentive Stock Plan (the 2014 Plan).  On June 3, 2014, the Board unanimously adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to approve the adoption of the 2014 Plan, which contains 12,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock available for grant thereunder, subject to stockholder approval.  As an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as set forth in Proposal 5) is necessary in order to have sufficient shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan, the approval of this Proposal 4 is conditioned upon approval of Proposal 5.
The 2014 Plan is intended as an incentive to retain and to attract new directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees, as well as to encourage a sense of proprietorship and stimulate the active interest of such persons in the development and financial success of the Company and its subsidiaries. A copy of the 2014 Plan is attached hereto as Annex A.

As of [June 4], 2014, there were 42,773,093 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.  The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) under the symbol “SGBX”.   On [June 4], 2014, the closing price of the Company’s common stock was [$_______], as quoted on the OTCBB.  
All grants under the 2014 Plan will be made in consideration of services renderedherein or to be rendered to the Companyreceive an agreed or any of its subsidiaries by the recipients.  All awards under the 2014 Plan are within the discretion of the Compensation Committee and, therefore, future awards under the 2014 Plan are generally not determinable. Notwithstanding the forgoing, on April 14, 2014, the Compensation Committee approved the following option grants the officers listed below, which option grants will only be awarded if the Company’s stockholders approve the 2014 Plan.

The 2014 Plan

Purpose of the 2014 Plan
 The Board believes that the success of the Company is largely dependent on its ability to attract and retain highly-qualified employees and non-employee directors and that by offering them the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interest in the Company, the Company will enhance its ability to attract and retain such persons.  Further, the Company strongly believes in aligning the interests of its employees, especially its executive officers, with those of its stockholders. Accordingly, the Company is proposing to adopt the 2014 Plan.
 Description of the 2014 Plan
A summary of certain provisions of the 2014 Plan is set forth below and the full text of the 2014 Plan is attached hereto as Annex A.  The following summary of the 2014 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to Annex A.
27


The Purpose of the 2014 Plan
The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to provide additional incentive to the directors, officers, consultants, advisors and employees of the Company who are primarily responsible for the management and growth of the Company.
The Company intends that the 2014 Plan meet the requirements of Rule 16b-3 (“Rule 16b-3”) promulgated under the Exchange Act and that transactions of the type specified in subparagraphs (c) to (f) inclusive of Rule 16b-3 by officers and directors of the Company pursuant to the 2014 Plan will be exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Further, the 2014 Plan is intended to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception to the limitation on the Company’s tax deductions imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to those awards for which qualification for such exception is intended.
Administration of the 2014 Plan
The 2014 Plan is to be administered by a committee consisting of two or more directors appointed by the Company’s Board (the “Committee”).  The Committee will be comprised solely of “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 and, “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, which individuals will serve at the pleasure of the Board. In the event that for any reason the Committee is unable to act or if the Committee at the time of any grant, award or other acquisition under the 2014 Plan does not consist of two or more “non-employee directors,” or if there is no such Committee, then the 2014 Plan will be administered by the Board, provided that grants to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or to any of the Company’s other three most highly compensated officers (other than the Chief Financial Officer) that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code may only be granted by the Committee so comprised of outside directors.
Subject to the other provisions of the 2014 Plan, the Committee will have the authority, in its discretion: (i) to designate recipients of options (“Options”), stock appreciation rights (“Stock Appreciation Rights”), restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) and other equity incentives or stock or stock based awards (“Equity Incentives”), all of which are referred to collectively as “Rights”; (ii) to determine the terms and conditions of each Right granted (which need not be identical); (iii) to interpret the 2014 Plan and all Rights granted thereunder; and (iv) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2014 Plan.
Eligibility
The persons eligible for participation in the 2014 Plan as recipients of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or Equity Incentives (including Restricted Stock Units) include directors, officers and employees of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any subsidiary; provided that incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Company and the subsidiaries. In selecting participants, and determining the number of shares covered by each Right, the Committee may consider any factors that it deems relevant.  There are presently 9 directors and approximately 7 Company and subsidiary employees all of whom are currently eligible to participate in the 2014 Plan. In selecting participants, and determining the number of shares covered by each Right, the Committee may consider any factors that it deems relevant.
Shares Subject to the 2014 Plan
Subject to the conditions outlined below, the total number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Rights granted under the 2014 Plan may not exceed 12,000,000 shares.
28

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or similar type of corporate restructuring affecting the shares of Common Stock, the Committee will make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the 2014 Plan and in the number and exercise price of shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the 2014 Plan, to the end that after such event each optionee’s proportionate interest will be maintained as immediately before the occurrence of such event. The Committee will, to the extent feasible, make such other adjustments as may be required under the tax laws so that any incentive stock options previously granted will not be deemed modified within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code. Appropriate adjustments will also be made in the case of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights and Restricted Stock granted under the 2014 Plan.  The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or Equity Incentives granted under the Plan to any individual in any calendar year shall not exceed 4,000,000, and the method of counting such shares shall conform to any requirements applicable to performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, if qualification as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code is intended.

Options
An option granted under the 2014 Plan is designated at the time of grant as either an incentive stock option (an “ISO”) or as a non-qualified stock option (a “NQSO”). Upon the grant of an Option to purchase shares of Common Stock, the Committee will fix the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that the optionee may purchase upon exercise of such Option and the price at which the shares may be purchased. The purchase price of each share of the Company’s Common Stock purchasable under an Option will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of such share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that with respect to an optionee who, at the time an ISO is granted, owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any subsidiary, the purchase price per share under an ISO must be at least 110% of the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant.  The 2014 Plan defines “fair market value” as the closing price of publicly traded shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the business day immediately prior to the grant on the principal securities exchange on which shares of the Company’s Common Stock are listed (if the shares of Stock are so listed), or on the NASDAQ Stock Market (if the shares of Stock are regularly quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market), or, if not so listed or regularly quoted, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices of publicly traded shares of Stock in the over the counter market, or, if such bid and asked prices shall not be available, as reported by any nationally recognized quotation service selected by the Company, or as determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Code.
Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock Appreciation Rights will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee. Unless otherwise provided, Stock Appreciation Rights will become immediately exercisable and remain exercisable until expiration, cancellation or termination of the award. Such rights may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice to the Company.
29

Restricted Stock
Restricted Stock may be granted under the 2014 Plan aside from, or in association with, any other award and will be subject to certain conditions and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2014 Plan, as the Committee deems desirable. A grantee will have no rights to an award of Restricted Stock unless and until such grantee accepts the award within the period prescribed by the Committee and, if the Committee deems desirable, makes payment to the Company in cash, or by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee. Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeitable until the terms of the Restricted Stock grant have been satisfied.
Other Equity Incentives or Stock Based Awards
Subject to the provisions of the 2014 Plan, the Committee may grant Equity Incentives (including the grant of unrestricted shares and restricted stock units) to such key persons, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee in its discretion determines. Such awards may entail the transfer of actual shares of the Company’s Common Stock to 2014 Plan participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.
Term of the Rights
The Committee, in its sole discretion, will fix the term of each Right, provided that the maximum term of an Option will be ten years.  ISOs granted to a 10% stockholder will expire not more than five years after the date of grant. The 2014 Plan provides for the earlier expiration of Rights in the event of certain terminations of employment of the holder.
Restrictions on Transferability
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder are not transferable and may be exercised solely by the optionee or grantee during his lifetime or after his death by the person or persons entitled thereto under his will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a transfer of a NQSO to (i) a trust for the benefit of the optionee or (ii) a member of the optionee’s immediate family (or a trust for his or her benefit). Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or to subject to execution, attachment or similar process, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right contrary to the provisions hereof will be void and ineffective and will give no right to the purported transferee. Shares of Restricted Stock are not transferable until the date on which the Committee has specified such restrictions have lapsed. Other Equity Incentives are generally not transferable.
Termination of the 2014 Plan
No Right may be granted pursuant to the 2014 Plan following July 7, 2024.
Amendments to the 2014 Plan
The Board may at any time amend, suspend or terminate the 2014 Plan, except that no amendment may be made that would impair the rights of any optionee or grantee under any Right previously granted without the optionee’s or grantee’s consent, and except that no amendment may be made which, without the approval of the Company stockholders would (i) materially increase the number of shares that may be issued under the 2014 Plan except as permitted under the 2014 Plan; (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to the optionees or grantees under the 2014 Plan; (iii) materially modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation in the 2014 Plan; (iv) decrease the exercise price of an ISO to less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant thereof or the exercise price of a NQSO to less than 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant thereof; or (v) extend the term of any Option beyond that permitted in the 2014 Plan.
30

Restrictions on Repricing

Approval of the Company’s stockholders is required prior to the reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding options or Stock Appreciation Rights, any repricing through cancellations and re-grants of new options or stock appreciation rights, or any cancellation of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price above the current stock price in exchange for cash or other securities.

Section 162(m)

The 2014 Plan, if adopted by the Company’s stockholders, will permit designated stock options to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code for a period of ten years, which will give the holder of the options more favorable tax treatment.

Notwithstanding the submission of the 2014 Plan stockholders for adoption, the Company reserves the right to pay its employees, including recipients of performance-based awards under the 2014 Plan, amounts which may or may not be tax-deducible under Section 162(m) or other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deductions a publicly held company can claim for compensation in excess of $1 million in a given year paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers serving on the last day of the fiscal year, excluding the Chief Financial Officer. “Performance-based” compensation that meets certain requirements is not counted against the $1 million deductibility cap, and therefore remains fully deductible; however, there can be no guarantee that awards granted under the 2014 Plan will be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. For purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, approval of this Proposal 4, as reflected in the 2014 Plan, will be deemed to include approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the 2014 Plan.  Stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals, without specific targeted levels of performance, will permit qualification of incentive awards for full tax deductibility for a period of five years under Section 162(m).  Stockholder approval of the performance goal inherent in stock options and SARs (increases in the market price of stock) is not subject to a time limit under Section 162(m).
Federal Income Tax Consequences

Incentive Stock Options.  Options that are granted under the 2014 Plan and that are intended to qualify as ISOs must comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code. An option holder is not taxed upon the grant or exercise of an ISO; however, the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date will be an item of adjustment for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. If an option holder holds the shares acquired upon the exercise of an ISO for at least two years following the date of the grant of the option and at least one year following the exercise of the option, the option holder’s gain, if any, upon a subsequent disposition of such shares will be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. The measure of the gain is the difference between the proceeds received on disposition and the option holder’s basis in the shares (which generally would equal the exercise price). If the option holder disposes of shares acquired pursuant to exercise of an ISO before satisfying the one-and-two year holding periods described above, the option holder may recognize both ordinary income and capital gain in the year of disposition. The amount of the ordinary income will be the lesser of (i) the amount realized on disposition less the option holder’s adjusted basis in the shares (generally the option exercise price); or (ii) the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and the option price. The balance of the consideration received on such disposition will be long-term capital gain if the shares had been held for at least one year following exercise of the ISO.
31


The Company is not entitled to an income tax deduction on the grant or the exercise of an ISO or on the option holder’s disposition of the shares after satisfying the holding period requirement described above. If the holding periods are not satisfied, the Company will generally be entitled to an income tax deduction in the year the option holder disposes of the shares, in an amount equal to the ordinary income recognized by the option holder.

Nonqualified Options.  In the case of a NQSO, an option holder is not taxed on the grant of such option. Upon exercise, however, the participant recognizes ordinary income equal to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of the exercise. The Company is generally entitled to an income tax deduction in the year of exercise in the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the option holder. Any gain on subsequent disposition of the shares is long-term capital gain if the shares are held for at least one year following the exercise. The Company does not receive an income tax deduction for this gain.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  A recipient of Restricted Stock  or Restricted Stock Units will not have taxable income upon grant, but will have ordinary income at the time of vesting equal to the fair market value on the vesting date of the shares (or cash) received minus any amount paid for the shares. A recipient of Restricted Stock may instead, however, elect to be taxed at the time of grant.  The Company will generally be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction when the recipient has an inclusion in income.
Stock Appreciation Rights.  No taxable income will be recognized by an option holder upon receipt of a Stock Appreciation Right and the Company will not be entitled to a tax deduction upon the grant of such right.
 Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder will include in taxable income, for federal income tax purposes, the fair market value of the cash and other property received with respect to the Stock Appreciation Right and the Company will generally be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction.
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of the majority of the votes cast is required to approve Proposal 4, provided that the affirmative votes cast must represent a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting and entitled to vote.
As an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as set forth in Proposal 5) is necessary in order to have sufficient shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan, the approval of this Proposal 4 is conditioned upon approval of Proposal 5.

Board Recommendation
THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE 2014 PLAN.  PROPERLY AUTHORIZED PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD WILL BE VOTED “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL UNLESS INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CONTRARY ARE GIVEN.

PROPOSAL 5
AMENDMENT OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM
100,000,000 SHARES TO 300,000,000 SHARES
The Board has approved and declared advisable an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock by an additional 200,000,000 shares (the “Certificate of Amendment”).  As of the Record Date, the Company had 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized for issuance, of which 42,773,093 shares were outstanding and 52,112,860 shares were reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2011 Plan, the Board Equity Authorization, the 2013 Plan and outstanding warrants and convertible debentures.  If the 2014 Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, as described in more detail in Proposal 4, an additional 12,000,000 shares will be reserved for issuance thereunder.  After taking into consideration those shares of common stock outstanding or reserved for issuance (not including share to be reserved under in connection with the 2014 Plan), the Company had 3,592,047 shares available for future issuance as of the Record Date.  As approval of this Proposal 5 is necessary in order to have sufficient shares available for issuance under the 2014 Plan, the approval of Proposal 4 is conditioned upon approval of this Proposal 5.
The Board believes that the authorized shares of common stock remaining available for future issuances is not sufficient to raise additional capital and to enable the Company to respond to potential business opportunities that may arise. Accordingly, the Board believes that it is in the Company’s best interest to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock in order to provide the Company with the flexibility to issue additional shares from time to time as the Board may determine for financings, private placements, acquisitions, strategic business relationships or stock dividends, and to satisfy (in whole or in part) any triggering of anti-dilution provisions under the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures and warrants.  Further, the Board believes the availability of additional shares of common stock will enable the Company to attract and retain talented employees by having a sufficient number of shares of common stock available for the grant of stock options and other stock-based incentives, including the shares potentially issuable under the 2014 Plan. The issuance of additional shares of common stock may have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and relative voting power. This proposal will have no effect on the number of shares of preferred stock authorized for issuance.
This proposal has been prompted by the business considerations discussed in the preceding paragraph and, except for the option issuances disclosed in connection with approval of the 2014 Plan, as described in more detail in Proposal 4, the Company has no current plans to issue the additional shares that would be authorized by this proposal.  Nevertheless, the additional shares of common stock that would become available for issuance if this proposal is approved could be used by the Company’s management to engage in a variety of activities, such as financings, private placements, grants of equity-based compensation or to prevent changes in control, and to and to satisfy (in whole or in part) any triggering of anti-dilution provisions under the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures and warrants, even if the stockholders of the Company do not want the Company to use the additional shares for such purposes.   As it is not possible to predict all situations that could trigger the anti-dilution provisions under the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures and warrants, the amounts set forth in this proposal does not fully account for all possible anti-dilution.  If the anti-dilution provisions under the Company’s outstanding convertible debentures and warrants are triggered, the Company may need more shares to be authorized.
33

If this proposal is approved, Article FOURTH of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would be restated in its entirety as follows:
FOURTH:            Authorized Shares.  The aggregate number of shares which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 305,000,000, of which 300,000,000 shall be shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and 5,000,000 shall be shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”).  The Preferred Stock may be issued, from time to time, in one or more series with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolutions adopted bystatement, the Board of Directors providingof SG Blocks knows of no other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the issuance of such Preferred Stock or series thereof; and2019 Special Meeting. However, other matters may properly come before the Board of Directors is hereby expressly vested with authority to fix such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights or qualifications, limitations or restrictions for each series, including, but not by way of limitation, the power to affix the redemption and liquidation preferences, the rate of dividends payable and the time for and the priority of payment thereof and to determine whether such dividends shall be cumulative or not and to provide for and affix the terms of conversion of such Preferred Stock2019 Special Meeting or any series thereof into Common Stock ofadjournment or postponement thereof. If any other matter is properly brought before the Corporation and fix2019 Special Meeting for action by the voting power, if any, of Preferred Stock or any series thereof.

No holder of any ofstockholders, proxies in the shares ofenclosed form returned to SG Blocks will be voted in accordance with the stock of the Corporation, whether now or hereafter authorized and issued, shall be entitled as of right to purchase or subscribe for (1) any unissued stock of any class, or (2) any additional shares of any class to be issued by reason of any increase of the authorized capital stock of the corporation of any class, or (3) bonds, certificates of indebtedness, debentures or other securities convertible into stock of the corporation, or carrying any right to purchase stock of any class, but any such unissued stock or such additional authorized issue of any stock or of other securities convertible into stock, or carrying any right to purchase stock, may be issued and disposed of pursuant to resolutionrecommendation of the Board of DirectorsDirectors.

NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF STOCKHOLDER DOCUMENTS
(“HOUSEHOLDING” INFORMATION)

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to such persons, firms, corporationssatisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports by delivering a single copy of these materials to an address shared by two or associationsmore SG Blocks stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and upon such terms ascost savings for companies and intermediaries. A number of brokers and other intermediaries with account holders who are our stockholders may be deemed advisable by the Board of Directors in the exercise of its discretion.”

The remaining text of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will remain unchanged.  The form of Certificate of Amendment to effect the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock is attached tohouseholding our stockholder materials, including this proxy statement. In that event, a single proxy statement, as Annex Bthe case may be, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.

Potential Adverse Effects

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2020 ANNUAL MEETING

Inclusion of the Amendment

Future issuances of common stock or securities convertible into common stock could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, book value per share, voting power and percentage interest of holdings of current stockholders. In addition, the availability of additional shares of common stock for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult effortsProposals in our Proxy Statement Pursuant to obtain control of the Company. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt,SEC Rules

Pursuant to acquire control of the Company. This proposal is not being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt, but nothing would prevent the Board from taking any appropriate actions not inconsistent with its fiduciary duties.

The act or determination of a majority of the Committee shall be the act or determination of the Committee and any decision reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had been made by a majority at a meeting duly held.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, any action taken or determination made by the Committeeresolution pursuant to this and the other Sections of the Plan shall be conclusive on all parties.

5TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:
(a)          Option Price.  The purchase price of each share of Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of such share of Stock on the date the Option is granted; provided, however, that with respect to an Optionee who, at the time an Incentive Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, the purchase price per share of Stock under an Incentive Option shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on the date of grant. The exercise price for each Option shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10 below.  “Fair Market Value” means the closing price of publicly traded shares of Stock on the business day immediately prior to the grant on the principal securities exchange on which shares of Stock are listed (if the shares of Stock are so listed), or on the NASDAQ Stock Market (if the shares of Stock are regularly quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market), or, if not so listed or regularly quoted, the mean between the closing bid and asked prices of publicly traded shares of Stock in the over-the-counter market, or, if such bid and asked prices shall not be available, as reported by any nationally recognized quotation service selected by the Company, or as determined by the Committee in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Code. Anything in this Section 5(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the purchase price of a share of Stock be less than the minimum price permitted under the rules and policies of any national securities exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed.
(b)          Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Option is granted and in the case of an Incentive Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time such Incentive Option is granted, owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Subsidiary, no such Incentive Option shall be exercisable more than five years after the date such Incentive Option is granted.
(c)          Exercisability.  Subject to Section 5(e) hereof, Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee.
Upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined), the Committee may accelerate the vesting and exercisability of outstanding Options, in whole or in part, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  In its sole discretion, the Committee may also determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Optionee thereunder, and each such Optionee shall receive, with respect to each share of Company Stock subject to such Option, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such shares immediately prior to such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option; such amount shall be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.
A-3

For purposes of the Plan, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if:
(i)           a tender offer (or series of related offers) shall be made and consummated for the ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, unless as a result of such tender offer more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company (as of the time immediately prior to the commencement of such offer), any employee benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and their affiliates;
(ii)          the Company shall be merged or consolidated with another corporation, unless as a result of such merger or consolidation more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company (as of the time immediately prior to such transaction), any employee benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and their affiliates;
(iii)         the Company shall sell substantially all of its assets to another corporation that is not wholly owned by the Company, unless as a result of such sale more than 50% of such assets shall be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company (as of the time immediately prior to such transaction), any employee benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries and their affiliates; or
(iv)         a Person (as defined below) shall acquire 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (whether directly, indirectly, beneficially or of record), unless as a result of such acquisition more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting corporation shall be owned in the aggregate by the stockholders of the Company (as of the time immediately prior to the first acquisition of such securities by such Person), any employee benefit plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and their affiliates.
For purposes of this Section 5(c), ownership of voting securities shall take into account and shall include ownership as determined by applying the provisions of Rule 13d-3(d)(I)(i) (as in effect on the date hereof) under the Exchange Act.  In addition, for such purposes, “Person” shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof; however, a Person shall not include (A) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (B) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities; or (D) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of stock of the Company.
(d)           Method of Exercise.  Options to the extent then exercisable may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the option period, by giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of shares of Stock to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, in cash, or by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee.  As determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, at or after grant, payment in full or in part may be made at the election of the Optionee (i) in the form of Stock owned by the Optionee (based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the trading day before the Option is exercised) which is not the subject of any pledge or security interest, (ii) in the form of shares of Stock withheld by the Company from the shares of Stock otherwise to be received with such withheld shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price of the Option, or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing, provided that the combined value of all cash and cash equivalents and the Fair Market Value of any shares surrendered to the Company is at least equal to such exercise price and except with respect to (ii) above, such method of payment will not cause a disqualifying disposition of all or a portion of the Stock received upon exercise of an Incentive Option. An Optionee shall have the right to dividends and other rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of an Option at such time as the Optionee (i) has given written notice of exercise and has paid in full for such shares and (ii) has satisfied such conditions that may be imposed by the Company with respect to the withholding of taxes.
A-4

(e)           Limit on Value of Incentive Option.  The aggregate Fair Market Value, determined as of the date the Incentive Option is granted, of Stock for which Incentive Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan (and/or any other stock option plans of the Company or any Subsidiary) shall not exceed $100,000.
(f)           Incentive Option Shares.  A grant of an Incentive Option under this Plan shall provide that (a) the Optionee shall be required as a condition of the exercise to furnish to the Company any payroll (employment) tax required to be withheld, and (b) if the Optionee makes a disposition, within the meaning of Section 424(c) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, of any share or shares of Stock issued to him upon exercise of an Incentive Option granted under the Plan within the two-year period commencing on the day after the date of the grant of such Incentive Option or within a one-year period commencing on the day after the date of transfer of the share or shares to him pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Option, he shall, within 10 days after such disposition, notify the Company thereof and immediately deliver to the Company any amount of United States federal, state and local income tax withholding required by law.
6TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
Stock Appreciation Rights shall granted with an exercise price that is not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 5(a) herein) of a share of Common Stock on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted and shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such other terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee.  Unless otherwise provided, Stock Appreciation Rights shall become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until expiration, cancellation or termination of the award.  Such rights may be exercised in whole or in part by giving written notice to the Company.  Stock Appreciation Rights to the extent then exercisable may be exercised for payment in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of both, as the Committee shall deem desirable, equal to: (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value as defined in Section 5(a) herein of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over (ii) the exercise price of such Stock Appreciation Right.

(a)           Grantee Rights.  A Grantee shall have no rights to an award of Restricted Stock unless and until Grantee accepts the award within the period prescribed by the Committee and, if the Committee shall deem desirable, makes payment to the Company in cash, or by check or such other instrument as may be acceptable to the Committee.  After acceptance and issuance of a certificate or certificates, as provided for below, the Grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to Restricted Stock subject to the non-transferability and forfeiture restrictions described in section 7(d) below.

(d)           Forfeitability, Non-transferability of Restricted Stock.  Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeitable until the terms of the Restricted Stock grant have been satisfied.  Shares of Restricted Stock are not transferable until the date on which the Committee has specified such restrictions has lapsed.  Unless otherwise provided, distributions of additional shares or property in the form of dividends or otherwise in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the same restrictions as such shares of Restricted Stock.
(e)           Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Committee may accelerate the vesting of outstanding Restricted Stock, in whole or in part, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
8OTHER EQUITY INCENTIVES OR STOCK BASED AWARDS.
The Committee may grant Equity Incentives (including the grant of unrestricted shares) to such key persons, in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions, as the Committee shall in its discretion determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan.  Such awards may entail the transfer of actual shares of Common Stock to Plan participants, or payment in cash or otherwise of amounts based on the value of shares of Common Stock.

In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend, or similar type of corporate restructuring affecting the Stock, the Committee shall make an appropriate and equitable adjustment in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and in the number and option price of shares subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, to the end that after such event each Optionee’s proportionate interest shall be maintained as immediately before the occurrence of such event. The Committee shall, to the extent feasible, make such other adjustments as may be required under the tax laws so that any Incentive Options previously granted shall not be deemed modified within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code.  Appropriate adjustments shall also be made in the case of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Equity Incentives granted under the Plan.
11PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.
Unless the Options and shares covered by the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Company has determined that such registration is unnecessary, each person exercising or receiving Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock or Equity Incentives under the Plan may be required by the Company to give a representation in writing that he is acquiring the securities (if issued) for his own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any part thereof.

15GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS.
The Plan, and the grant and exercise of Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Equity Incentives hereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver shares under such Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Equity Incentives shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies, national securities exchanges and interdealer quotation systems as may be required.
16 PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS.
(a)           Purpose.  The purpose of this Section 16 is to provide the Committee the ability to qualify awards (other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) that are granted pursuant to Sections 7 and 8 as qualified performance-based compensation.  If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant a performance-based award to a covered employee as defined under Section 162(m)(3) of the Code, the provisions of this Section 16 shall control over any contrary provision contained in Sections 7 or 8; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion grant awards to covered employees that are based on performance criteria or performance goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 16.
(b)           Applicability.  This Section 16 shall apply only to those covered employees selected by the Committee to receive performance-based awards.  The designation of a covered employee as a Grantee for a performance period shall not in any manner entitle the Grantee to receive an award for the period.  Moreover, designation of a covered employee as a Grantee for a particular performance period shall not require designation of such covered employee as a Grantee in any subsequent performance period and designation of one covered employee as a Grantee shall not require designation of any other covered employees as a Grantee in such period or in any other period.
A-8

(c)           Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards.  To the extent necessary to comply with the qualified performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, with respect to any award granted under Section 7 and 8 which may be granted to one or more covered employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal period or period of service, and not later than after twenty-five percent (25%) of such period has elapsed (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more covered employees, (b) select the performance criteria applicable to the performance period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such performance period, and (d) specify the relationship between performance criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such awards, as applicable, to be earned by each covered employee for such performance period.  Following the completion of each performance period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such performance period.  In determining the amount earned by a covered employee, the Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the performance period.
(d)           Payment of Performance-Based Awards.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, a Grantee must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the day a performance-based award for such performance period is paid to the Grantee.  Furthermore, a Grantee shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a performance-based award for a performance period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved.
(e)           Performance Period.  The performance period is set by the Committee for each award.
(f)           Performance Goals.  For each performance-based award, the Committee shall establish (and may establish for other awards) performance objectives (“Performance Goals”) for the Company, its Subsidiaries, and/or divisions of any of foregoing, using the performance criteria in (i) through (iv), below.  It may also use other criteria or factors in establishing Performance Goals in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing.  A Performance Goal may be stated as an absolute value or as a value determined relative to an index, budget, prior period, similar measures of a peer group of other companies or other standard selected by the Committee.  Performance Goals shall include payout tables, formulas or other standards to be used in determining the extent to which the Performance Goals are met.
The performance criteria which the Committee is authorized to use, in its sole discretion, are any of the following criteria or any combination thereof, including but not limited to the offset against each other of any combination of the following criteria:
(i)           Financial performance of the Company (on a consolidated basis), of one or more of its Subsidiaries, and/or a division of any of the foregoing.  Such financial performance may be based on net income, economic value added (as determined by the Committee), EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), revenues, sales, expenses, costs, gross margin, operating margin, profit margin, pre-tax profit, market share, volumes of a particular product or service or category thereof, including but not limited to a product’s life cycle (for example, products introduced in the last two years), number of customers, number of products for sale, return on net assets, return on assets, return on capital, return on invested capital, cash flow, free cash flow, operating cash flow, operating revenues, operating expenses, operating income, and/or completion of capital raising transaction.
A-9

(ii)           Service performance of the Company (on a consolidated basis), of one or more of its Subsidiaries, and/or of a division of any of the foregoing.  Employee satisfaction, employee retention, product development, completion of a joint venture or other corporate transaction, completion of an identified special project, and effectiveness of management.
(iii)           The Company’s Stock price, return on stockholders’ equity, total stockholder return (Stock price appreciation plus dividends, assuming the reinvestment of dividends), and/or earnings per Share.
(iv)           Impacts of acquisitions, dispositions, or restructurings, on any of the foregoing.
Unless otherwise provided by the Committee at any time, no such adjustment shall be made for a current or former executive officer to the extent such adjustment would cause an award to fail to satisfy the performance based exemption of Section 162(m) of the Code.
If the material terms of the performance criteria are not changed, they will be disclosed to and reported to the stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which stockholders previously approved the performance criteria.
(g)           Additional Limitations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any award which is granted to a covered employee and is intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
17 GENERAL PROVISIONS.
(a)           Certificates.  All certificates for shares of Stock delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other securities commission having jurisdiction, any applicable Federal or state securities law, any stock exchange or interdealer quotation system upon which the Stock is then listed or traded and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.
(b)           Employment Matters.  The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee or Grantee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment or, in the case of an Optionee or Grantee who is a director, continued service as a director, with the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any of its employees, the service of any of its directors or the retention of any of its consultants or advisors at any time.
(c)           Limitation of Liability.  No member of the Board or the Committee, or any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.
(d)           Registration of Stock.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no Option may be exercised unless and until the Stock to be issued upon the exercise thereof has been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or are, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, exempt from such registration in the United States.  The Company shall not be under any obligation to register under applicable federal or state securities laws any Stock to be issued upon the exercise of an Option granted hereunder in order to permit the exercise of an Option and the issuance and sale of the Stock subject to such Option, although the Company may in its sole discretion register such Stock at such time as the Company shall determine.  If the Company chooses to comply with such an exemption from registration, the Stock issued under the Plan may, at the direction of the Committee, bear an appropriate restrictive legend restricting the transfer or pledge of the Stock represented thereby, and the Committee may also give appropriate stop transfer instructions with respect to such Stock to the Company’s transfer agent.
A-10

(e)            Non-transferability.  Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder are not transferable and may be exercised solely by the Optionee or Grantee during his lifetime or after his death by the person or persons entitled thereto under his will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Awards of Restricted Stock and Equity Incentives are also nontransferable.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a transfer of a Nonqualified Option to (i) a trust for the benefit of the Optionee or (ii) a member of the Optionee’s immediate family (or a trust for his or her benefit).  Any attempt to transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of, or to subject to execution, attachment or similar process, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right contrary to the provisions hereof shall be void and ineffective and shall give no right to the purported transferee.
(f)            No Rights as a Stockholder.  No Optionee or Grantee (or other person having the right to exercise such award) shall have any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to shares subject to such award until the issuance of a stock certificate to such person for such shares.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.
(g)           Termination by Death.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any Optionee or Grantee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, the Option or Stock Appreciation Right may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Optionee or Grantee under the will of the Optionee or Grantee, for a period of one year after the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right as provided under the Plan, whichever period is shorter.
(h)           Termination by Reason of Disability.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any Optionee or Grantee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of total and permanent disability, any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Optionee or Grantee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination due to Disability (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), but may not be exercised after 60 days after the date of such termination of employment or service or the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that, if the Optionee or Grantee dies within such 60-day period, any unexercised Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Optionee or Grantee shall thereafter be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of one year after the date of such death or for the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, whichever period is shorter.
A-11

(i)            Termination by Reason of Retirement.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any Optionee or Grantee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Normal or Early Retirement (as such terms are defined below), any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Optionee or Grantee may thereafter be exercised to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement (or on such accelerated basis as the Committee shall determine at or after grant), but may not be exercised after 60 days after the date of such termination of employment or service or the expiration of the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that, if the Optionee or Grantee dies within such 60-day period, any unexercised Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by such Optionee or Grantee shall thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for a period of one year after the date of such death or for the stated term of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, whichever period is shorter.
For purposes of this paragraph (i), “Normal Retirement” shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company or any Subsidiary on or after the normal retirement date specified in the applicable Company or Subsidiary pension plan or if no such pension plan, age 65, and “Early Retirement” shall mean retirement from active employment with the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to the early retirement provisions of the applicable Company or Subsidiary pension plan or if no such pension plan, age 55.
(j)            Other Termination.  Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if any Optionee or Grantee’s employment with or service to the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal or Early Retirement, the Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall thereupon terminate, except that the portion of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right that was exercisable on the date of such termination of employment or service may be exercised for the lesser of 30 days after the date of termination or the balance of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right’s term if the Optionee or Grantee’s employment or service with the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without cause or for good reason by the Optionee or Grantee (the determination as to whether termination was for cause or for good reason to be made by the Committee). The transfer of an Optionee or Grantee from the employ of or service to the Company to the employ of or service to a Subsidiary, or vice versa, or from one Subsidiary to another, shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of employment or service for purposes of the Plan.
