On or about April __, 2015,January 10, 2017, we mailed a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”)these proxy materials to each of our stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

(the “Amended and Restated Articles”); (iii) FOR an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2012 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by the greater of 700,000 or 7 % of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the day of the Annual Meeting (the “Plan Amendment”); (iv) FORthe advisory vote to approve executive compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers; (v)Officers (the “Say-on-PayProposal”); (iii) FOR ratification of the appointment of Eide Bailly, , LLP as our independent auditors for the year ended September 30, 2015;2017; and (vi)(iv) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
 
If a bank holds your shares, broker or other institution, you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow for your shares to be voted.

-1-
 
Broker Non-Votes
 
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a nominee (typically a broker or bank) holding shares for a beneficial owner (typically referred to as shares being held in “street name”) submits a proxy for the Annual Meeting, but does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares with respect to that proposal.

-1-
Brokers and other nominees may vote on “routine” proposals on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions, subject to the rules applicable to broker nominees concerning transmission of proxy materials to beneficial owners, and subject to any proxy voting policies and procedures of those firms. The ratification of the independent registered public accountants, for example, is a routine proposal. Brokers and other nominees may not vote on “non-routine” proposals, unless they have received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. The election of directors the approval of the Amended and Restated Articles, the Plan Amendment and the Say-on-Pay proposalsProposal are considered “non-routine” proposals. This means that brokers and other firms must obtain voting instructions from the beneficial owner to vote on these matters; otherwise they will not be able to cast a vote for these “non-routine” proposals. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow their voting instructions so you can instruct your broker on how to vote your shares.
 
Revocation of Proxies
 
Stockholders of record can revoke their proxies at any time before they are exercised in any one of three ways:
 
●
by voting in person at the Annual Meeting;
 
●
by submitting written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company prior to the Annual Meeting; or
 
●
by submitting another proxy bearing a later date that is properly executed prior to or at the Annual Meeting.
 
Quorum
 
In order for any business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting, there must be a quorum, meaning a majority of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present, either in person or by proxy. If you submit a properly executed proxy, regardless of whether you abstain from voting on one or more matters, your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will also be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, the stockholders who are present may adjourn the Annual Meeting until a quorum is present. The time and place of the adjourned Annual Meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken, and no other notice will be given. An adjournment will have no effect on the business that may be conducted at the Annual Meeting.
 
Vote Required for Approval
 
Proposal No. 1: Election of Directors. Directors are elected by a plurality vote. This means the director nominees who receive the highest number of affirmative votes cast at the Annual Meeting, up to the number of directors to be elected, will be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election of the directors.

Proposal No. 2: Amended and Restated Articles. For the approval of the Amended and Restated Articles to change our name from “SecureAlert, Inc.” to “TrackGroup, Inc.”, the number of votes cast “FOR” must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST”;


-2-
 
Proposal No. 3: Plan Amendment. For the approval of the Plan Amendment to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan by the greater of 700,000 or 7 % of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock on the day of the Annual Meeting, the number of votes cast “FOR” must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST”;

Proposal No. 4:2: Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation. This advisory vote is not binding on us, our boardBoard of directors,Directors, or management. The number of votes cast “FOR” must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” this Proposal to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s Named Executive Officers; and

Proposal No. 5:3: Ratification of Appointment of Auditors. To ratify the appointment of Eide Bailly, LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015,2017, the number of votes cast “FOR” must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” this Proposal.A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Proposal.  Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against this Proposal. A broker or other nominee will generally have discretionary authority to vote on this Proposal because it is considered a routine matter, and therefore we do not expect broker non-votes with respect to this Proposal. However, any broker non-votes received will have no effect on the outcome of this Proposal.

Solicitation
 
We will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any additional solicitation materials furnished to the stockholders. Copies of any solicitation materials will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. In addition, we may reimburse such persons for their costs in forwarding the solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone, facsimile or other means by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services. Except as described above, we do not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by mail and telephone.

The Compensation Committee has responsibility for developing and maintaining an executive compensation policy that creates a direct relationship between pay levels and corporate performance and returns to stockholders. The Committee monitors the results of such policy to assure that the compensation payable to our executive officers provides overall competitive pay levels, creates proper incentives to enhance shareholder value, rewards superior performance, and is justified by the returns available to stockholders.
 
The Compensation Committee also acts on behalf of the Board of Directors in administering compensation plans approved by the Board, in a manner consistent with the terms of such plans (including, as applicable, the granting of stock options, restricted stock, stock units and other awards, the review of performance goals established before the start of the relevant plan year, and the determination of performance compared to the goals at the end of the plan year).  The Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board with respect to new compensation incentive plans and equity-based plans; reviews and recommends the compensation of the Company’s directors to the full Board for approval; and reviews and makes recommendations to the Board on changes in major benefit programs of executive officers of the Company.

Director Nominations
 
The Board nominates directors for election at each annual meeting of stockholders and appoints new directors to fill vacancies when they arise. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the responsibility to identify, evaluate, recruit and recommend qualified candidates to the Board for such nomination or appointment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not separately recommend the appointment of Messrs. Luna and van Daele to the Board of Directors, which nominations were instead unanimously approved by the full Board of Directors.
 
The Board seeks membership composed of experienced and dedicated individuals with diverse backgrounds, perspectives and skills. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will select candidates for director based on their character, judgment, diversity of experience, business acumen and ability to act on behalf of all stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that nominees for director should have experience, such as experience in management or accounting and finance, or industry and technology knowledge, that may be useful to the Company and the Board, high personal and professional ethics, and the willingness and ability to devote sufficient time to effectively carry out his or her duties as a director. The Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee do not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in the identification of director nominees. However, the Board and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider diversity to be a valuable factor when evaluating director candidates’ qualifications and potential for making meaningful contributions to the operation of the Board and the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also believes it to be appropriate for at least one member of the Board to meet the criteria for an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by SEC rules, and for a majority of the members of the Board to meet the definition of “independent director” under the applicable SEC rules and regulations.

Prior to each annual meeting of stockholders, the Board or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies nominees first by evaluating the current directors whose term will expire at the annual meeting and who are willing to continue in service. These candidates are evaluated based on the criteria described above, including as demonstrated by the candidate’s prior service as a director, and the needs of the Board with respect to the particular talents and experience of its directors. In the event that a director does not wish to continue in service, the Board or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines not to re-nominate a director, or a vacancy is created on the Board as a result of a resignation, an increase in the size of the Board or other event, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider various candidates for Board membership, including those suggested by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee members, by other Board members, by any executive search firm engaged by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and by stockholders. The Company’s policy is to consider nominees for the Board from stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to suggest a prospective nominee for the Board should notify the Secretary of the Company or any member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in writing with any supporting material the stockholder considers appropriate. Nominees suggested by stockholders are considered in the same way as nominees suggested from other sources. Once the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chooses a slate of candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommends the candidates to the entire Board, and the Board then determines whether to recommend the slate to the stockholders. 
 
In addition, the Company’s Bylaws contain provisions that address the process by which a stockholder may nominate an individual to stand for election to the Board at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. In order to nominate a candidate for director, a stockholder must give timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the Company and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. Information required by the Company’s Bylaws to be in the notice include: the name, contact information and share ownership information for the candidate and the person making the nomination and other information about the nominee that must be disclosed in proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its related rules and regulations. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as director of the Company. The recommendation should be sent to: Secretary, SecureAlert,Track Group, Inc., 405 South Main Street, Suite 700, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111.1215 W. Lakeview Court, Romeoville, Illinois 60446. You can obtain a copy of the Company’s Bylaws by writing to the Secretary at this address.

Board Leadership Structure
 
Although theOur Board believes in the separation of Directors has discretion to determine whether to separate or combine the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Guy Dubois has served in both roles since September 11, 2016, and our Board in recognitioncontinues to believe that his combined role is most advantageous to the Company and our stockholders, as Mr. Dubois possesses in-depth knowledge of the differences betweenissues, opportunities and risks facing us, our business and our industry and is best positioned to fulfill the two roles, currently the Executive Committeeresponsibilities of the Board of Directors is the actingour Chief Executive Officer, ofas well as the CompanyChairman’s responsibility to develop meeting agendas that focus the Board’s time and attention on the most critical matters and to facilitate constructive dialogue among Board members on strategic issues.

In addition to Mr. Dubois, who is Chairman ofDubois’ leadership, the Board maintains effective independent oversight through a number of Directors, servesgovernance practices, including, open and direct communication with management, input on that Committee.  The Executive Committee is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the Companymeeting agendas, and the day-to-day leadership and performance of the Company, while the Chairman of the Board provides guidance to the Executive Committee and sets the agenda for the Board meetings and presides over meetings of the Board. The Board believes it should be able to freely select the Chairman of the Board based on criteria that it deems to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, and therefore one person may, in the future, serve as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.regular executive sessions. 
 
Board Role in Risk Assessment
 
Management, in consultation with outside professionals, as applicable, identifies risks associated with the Company’s operations, strategies and financial statements. Risk assessment is also performed through periodic reports received by the Audit Committee from management, counsel and the Company’s independent registered public accountants relating to risk assessment and management. Audit Committee members meet privately in executive sessions with representatives of the Company’s independent registered public accountants. The Board also provides risk oversight through its periodic reviews of the financial and operational performance of the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
 
AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO CHANGE THE COMPANY’S NAME
General

Our Board of Directors has adopted resolutions approving, declaring advisable and recommending that our stockholders approve an amendment to and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation to change our corporate name from “SecureAlert, Inc.” to “Track Group, Inc.” If approved, the change to our corporate name will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of amendment with the Utah Secretary of State. We currently plan to file the Amended and Restated Articles as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving approval of the amendment from our stockholders. However, the Board of Directors has reserved the right to abandon the proposed amendment if, at any time before the filing of the certificate of amendment, it determines that changing our name is no longer in the best interests of the Company or our stockholders.
If this Proposal is approved, Article I of our Articles of Incorporation will be amended to reflect our new corporate name. The proposed amendment and restatement of our Articles of Incorporation is set forth in its entirety in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.
 Purpose of and Rationale for the Amended and Restated Articles
The purpose of the proposed name change is to align our corporate name more closely with our vision as a leading provider of offender tracking technologies. As the Company continues to expand its products, services and locations, our Board of Directors believes that the proposed name change will build and foster the Company’s unparalleled dedication to offering innovative technologies and tracking capabilities, and will be beneficial to our stockholders because our customers will associate the name “Track Group, Inc.” with a more focused objective.
Effect of Proposed Amendment

If approved by our stockholders, the Amended and Restated Articles and the change to our corporate name will not affect the validity of any of our existing stock certificates that bear the name “SecureAlert, Inc.” Stockholders with certificated shares may continue to hold existing certificates, and the number of shares represented by those certificates will remain unchanged the Amended and Restated Articles. New stock certificates that are issued after the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are filed with the Utah Secretary of State will bear the name “Track Group, Inc.”

Currently our common stock is quoted on the OTC QB under the symbol “SCRA” If the proposed Amended and Restated Articles are approved, we will request a CUSIP number and new ticker symbol based on our new name. Under the rules of the OTC QB, we cannot make any requests for a particular symbol and, as a result, we will not know what our new symbol will be until it has been assigned by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

If this Proposal is not approved, the proposed Amended and Restated Articles will not become effective and our name will remain unchanged.

Background of Plan and Purpose of the Plan Amendment
            The Plan was first adopted by the Board of Directors on September 26, 2011, and authorized a total of 18.0 million shares of our common stock for issuance thereunder, which number was reduced to 90,000 shares following a one-for- 200 reverse split of our common stock on February 28, 2013.  As of March 30, 2015, 80,320 shares of common stock have been issued under the Plan. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has approved of the Plan Amendment, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders, to increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan to by the greater of 700,000 or 7 % of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the day of the Annual Meeting.
Summary Description of the Plan

The principal terms of the Plan are summarized below. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, which appears as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.
The Plan is intended to (i) encourage ownership of shares by our employees and directors and certain consultants to the Company; (ii) induce them to work for the benefit of the Company; and (iii) provide additional incentive for such persons to promote the success of the Company.
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will administer the Plan, which permits the granting of equity awards to purchase up to 90,000 shares of common stock, which number will increase to by the greater of 700,000 or 7 % of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock on the day of the Annual Meeting.
The Plan permits the Compensation Committee to grant various types of equity awards, including incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, and performance-based awards to eligible individuals.
Administration

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors will administer the Plan.  The Compensation Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board the authority to grant or amend awards to participants other than senior executives of the Company who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or employees who are “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) (“Section 162(m)”) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).  The Compensation Committee includes at least two directors, each of whom qualifies as a non-employee director pursuant to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and an “outside director" pursuant to Section 162(m).
The Compensation Committee will have the exclusive authority to administer the Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types and sizes of awards, the price and timing of awards and the acceleration or waiver of any vesting restriction, provided that the Compensation Committee will not have the authority to accelerate vesting or waive the forfeiture of any performance-based awards.
Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the Plan include non-employee members of the Board, consultants to the Company, and all of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Stock options may be exercised as determined by the Compensation Committee, but in no event after the tenth anniversary of the date of grant.  The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which options intended to be incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000, or such other amount as the Code provides.
Restricted stock may be granted pursuant to the Plan.  A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of common stock that is nontransferable and may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met.  Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achieving performance goals.  During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares.  The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Compensation Committee.

-13-
In no event may an award be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the effectiveness of the Plan.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The tax consequences of the Plan under current federal law are summarized in the following discussion which deals with the general tax principles applicable to the Plan, and is intended for general information only. Alternative minimum tax and state and local income taxes are not discussed.  Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality.  The tax information summarized is not tax advice.
Nonqualified Stock Options.  For federal income tax purposes, an optionee generally will not recognize taxable income on the grant of a nonqualified stock option (“NQSO”) under the Plan, but upon the exercise of an NQSO will recognize ordinary income, and the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction.  The amount of income recognized (and the amount generally deductible by the Company) generally will be equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise over the aggregate exercise price paid for the shares, regardless of whether the exercise price is paid in cash or in shares or other property.  An optionee's basis for the stock for purposes of determining his or her gain or loss upon a subsequent disposition of the shares generally will be the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise of the NQSO, and any subsequent gain or loss will generally be taxable as capital gains or losses.
Incentive Stock Options. An optionee generally will not recognize taxable income upon either the grant or exercise of an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”); however, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise exceeds the exercise price will be an "item of tax preference" for the optionee for purposes of the alternative minimum tax. Generally, upon the sale or other taxable disposition of the shares of the common stock acquired upon exercise of an ISO, the optionee will recognize income taxable as capital gains in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount realized in such disposition over the option exercise price, provided that no disposition of the shares has taken place within either (a) two years from the date of grant of the ISO or (b) one year from the date of exercise.  If the shares of common stock are sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of the one-year and two-year periods specified above, the difference between the ISO exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise generally will be taxable as ordinary income; the balance of the amount realized from such disposition, if any, generally will be taxed as capital gain.  If the shares of common stock are disposed of before the expiration of the one-year and two-year periods and the amount realized is less than the fair market value of the shares at the date of exercise, the optionee's ordinary income generally is limited to excess, if any, of the amount realized in such disposition over the option exercise price paid. The Company (or other employer corporation) generally will be entitled to a tax deduction with respect to an ISO only to the extent the optionee has ordinary income upon sale or other disposition of the shares of common stock.
Stock Appreciation Rights.  No taxable income is generally recognized upon the receipt of an SAR, but upon exercise of the SAR the fair market value of the shares (or cash in lieu of shares) received generally will be taxable as ordinary income to the recipient in the year of such exercise.  The Company generally will be entitled to a compensation deduction for the amount the recipient recognizes as ordinary income.
Restricted Stock and Deferred Stock.  A participant to whom restricted or deferred stock is issued generally will not recognize taxable income upon such issuance and the Company generally will not then be entitled to a deduction, unless, in the case of restricted stock, an election is made under Section 83(b) of the Code.  However, when restrictions on shares of restricted stock lapse, such that the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the employee generally will recognize ordinary income and the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction for an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the date such restrictions lapse over the purchase price therefore. Similarly, when deferred stock vests and is issued to the employee, the employee generally will recognize ordinary income and the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction for the amount equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of issuance.  If an election is made under Section 83(b) with respect to restricted stock, the employee generally will recognize ordinary income at the date of issuance equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares at that date over the purchase price therefore and the Company will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount.  The Code does not permit a Section 83(b) election to be made with respect to deferred stock.

A recipient of a dividend equivalent award generally will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction at that time.  When a dividend equivalent is paid, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction
Performance Awards. A participant who has been granted a performance award generally will not recognize taxable income at the time of grant, and the Company will not be entitled to a deduction at that time.  When an award is paid, whether in cash or common stock, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.
Stock Payments.  A participant who receives a stock payment in lieu of a cash payment that would otherwise have been made will generally be taxed as if the cash payment has been received, and the Company generally will be entitled to a deduction for the same amount.
Section 162(m) Limitation.  In general, under Section 162(m), income tax deductions of publicly held corporations may be limited to the extent total compensation (including base salary, annual bonus, stock option exercises, transfers of property and benefits paid under nonqualified retirement plans) for certain executive officers exceeds $1 million (less the amount of any “excess parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code) in any one year.  However, under Section 162(m), the deduction limit does not apply to certain “performance-based compensation.
Under Section 162(m), stock options and SARs will satisfy the “performance-based compensation” exception if the awards of the options or SARs are made by a committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more “outside directors,” the plan sets the maximum number of shares that can be granted to any person within a specified period, and the compensation is based solely on an increase in the stock price after the grant date (i.e., the option or SAR exercise price is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the stock subject to the award on the grant date).  Other types of awards may only qualify as “performance-based compensation” if such awards are granted or payable only to the recipients based upon the attainment of objectively determinable and pre-established performance targets established by a qualifying committee of the Board and related to performance goals approved by the Company's stockholders.
The Plan has been designed in order to permit the Compensation Committee to grant stock options and SARs that will qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). In addition, in order to permit Awards other than stock options and SARs to qualify as “performance-based compensation,” the Plan allows the Compensation Committee to designate as “Section 162(m) Participants” employees whose compensation for a given fiscal year may be subject to the limit on deductible compensation imposed by Section 162(m).  The Compensation Committee may grant awards to Section 162(m) Participants that vest or become exercisable upon the attainment of specific performance targets that are related to one or more of the performance goals set forth in the Plan.  The Company's stockholders are also being asked in this proposal to approve the performance goals established in the Plan.
Awards Granted Under the Plan
    Because grants under the Plan are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee, awards under the Plan that may be made in the future are not determinable. Future exercise prices for options granted under the Plan are also not determinable because they will be based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. 

The following table discloses all awards granted to the persons or groups specified below under the current version of the Plan as of our most recently completed fiscal year ended September 30, 2014:

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 20152018 ANNUAL MEETING
 
Stockholder proposals that are intended to be presented by stockholders at the Company’s 20162018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Secretary of the Company no later than [__________ __], 2016September 12, 2017 in order that they may be included, if appropriate, in the Company’s proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. A stockholder proposal not included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 20162018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be ineligible for presentation at the meeting unless the stockholder gives timely notice of the proposal in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company and otherwise complies with the provisions of the Company’s Bylaws. To be timely, the Bylaws provide that the Company must have received the stockholder’s notice not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days in advance of the date the proxy statement was released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting of stockholders. However, if the date of the 20162018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this year’s Annual Meeting, the Company must receive the stockholder’s notice no later than the close of business on (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and (ii) the seventh day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.
 
PAYMENT OF COSTS
 
The expense of printing and mailing proxy materials and the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by proxy solicitors, directors, officers and other employees of the Company by personal interview, telephone, facsimile or other means. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or employees of the Company for such solicitation. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners of the common stock.
 
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
 
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
 
-20-
A number of brokers with account holders who are stockholders of the Company will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single set of the Company’s proxy materials will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of the Company’s proxy materials, please notify your broker or direct a written request to the Company, Attn: Investor Relations Department, 405 South Main Street, Suite 700, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111,1215 Lakeview Court, Romeoville, Illinois 60446, or by calling (801) 451-6141.(877) 260-2010. The Company undertakes to deliver promptly, upon any such oral or written request, a separate copy of its proxy materials to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of these documents was delivered. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the Company’s proxy materials at their address and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their broker, bank or other nominee, or contact the Company at the above address or phone number.
