PROXY STATEMENT
FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 28, 2017

INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING

Voting Procedures

We are providing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company,” “GlassBridge,” “we,” “our” or “us”) for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on August 28, 2017 and at all postponements or adjournments thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). The record date for the Annual Meeting is June 29, 2017. If you held our common stock as of the close of business on that date, you are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of July 14, 2017, there were approximately 4,961,931 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value, outstanding. You have one vote for each share of common stock you hold, and there is no cumulative voting. The shares of common stock we hold in our treasury will not be voted and will not be counted at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote.

We first made this proxy statement available to our stockholders on or about July 17, 2017.

Pursuant to rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we have sent to most of our stockholders the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) containing instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our 2016 Annual Report online. Stockholders who have received the Notice will not be sent a printed copy of our proxy materials in the mail, unless they request to receive one.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 28, 2017
This proxy statement and our 2016 Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com.

To vote your shares, please follow the instructions on the Notice you received for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If you received paper copies of our proxy materials, we have enclosed a proxy card for you to use to vote your shares. In order to register your vote, complete, date and sign the proxy card and return it in the enclosed envelope or vote your proxy by telephone or Internet in accordance with the voting instructions on the proxy card.

You have several choices on each item to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

For the election of Tracy McKibben and Donald H. Putnam as Class III directors, with terms expiring at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you can:

•

vote “FOR” any nominated director;

•

vote “AGAINST” any nominated director; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting for any nominated director.

3

Directors are elected by the majority of the votes cast with respect to such director at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “FOR” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that director. In a contested election, a situation in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a situation we do not anticipate), the standard for election of directors will be a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A plurality means that the nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast will be elected.

For the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered accounting firm, you can:

•

vote “FOR” ratification;

•

vote “AGAINST” ratification; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on ratification.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.

For the advisory vote to approve executive compensation, you can:

•

vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation for the named executive officers;

•

vote “AGAINST” the approval of the compensation for the named executive officers; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on the approval of the compensation for the named executive officers.

Advisory approval of this proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

For the advisory vote on the frequency of the vote on executive compensation, you can:

•

vote “one,” “two” or “three” years as your choice of frequency of the vote on executive compensation; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on the frequency of the vote on compensation for the named executive officers.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be deemed the choice of the stockholders.

For approval of the adoption of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation:

a.

To reduce the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock from 25,000,000 to 200,000 and to incorporate other amendments previously approved by our stockholders (“Certificate Proposal A”), you can:

•

vote “FOR” the approval of Certificate Proposal A;

•

vote “AGAINST” the approval of Certificate Proposal A; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on the approval of Certificate Proposal A.

The vote required to approve the Certificate Proposal A is a majority of GlassBridge’s common stock outstanding as of the record date.

b.

To delete Article Thirteen (“Certificate Proposal B”), you can:

•

vote “FOR” the approval of Certificate Proposal B;

•

vote “AGAINST” the approval of Certificate Proposal B; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on the approval of Certificate Proposal B.

4

The vote required to approve Certificate Proposal B is eighty percent (80%) of GlassBridge’s common stock outstanding as of the record date.

Certificate Proposal A and Certificate Proposal B are not conditioned on each other.

For approval of the Stock Plan Amendment, you can:

•

vote “FOR” the approval of the Stock Plan Amendment;

•

vote “AGAINST” the approval of the Stock Plan Amendment; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on the approval of the Stock Plan Amendment.

Approval of the Stock Plan Amendment requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

For the approval of the adjournment of the Annual Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of Certificate Proposal A, Certificate Proposal B and/or the Stock Plan Amendment (the “Adjournment Proposal”), you can:

•

vote “FOR” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal;

•

vote “AGAINST” the approval of the Adjournment Proposal; or

•

“ABSTAIN” from voting on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

If you do not specify on your proxy card (or when giving your proxy on the Internet) how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election of all directors as nominated, “FOR” the ratification of the independent registered accounting firm, “FOR” the approval of the executive compensation, “ONE YEAR” for the frequency of the vote on executive compensation, “FOR” the approval of Certificate Proposal A, “FOR” the approval of Certificate Proposal B, “FOR” the Stock Plan Amendment and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

If you change your mind after you vote your shares, you can revoke your proxy at any time before it is actually voted at the Annual Meeting by:

•

sending written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;

•

submitting a signed proxy with a later date;

•

voting by telephone or the internet on a date after your prior telephone or internet vote; or

•

attending the meeting and withdrawing your proxy.

You can also be represented by another person present at the meeting by executing a proxy designating that person to act on your behalf.

If you “abstain” on any matter, your shares will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum and for purposes of calculating the vote but will not be considered to have been voted on the matter. Therefore, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against”. If you hold shares in “street name” and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your shares will be considered to be “broker non-votes” and will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). In that case, your shares will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be considered to be represented at the meeting for purposes of calculating the vote on that proposal. Your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the proposals.

5

You may also vote in person at the meeting. If you are a stockholder of record with shares registered in your name, simply come to the Annual Meeting and we will provide you a ballot. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other agent to vote in person at the meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a proxy form.

If you would like to consent to receive our proxy materials and annual reports electronically in the future, please follow the instructions on your proxy card.

Proxy Solicitation

We will pay the costs of preparing, printing and mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement, including the reimbursement to banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their costs in sending the proxy materials to the beneficial owners. We have retained Okapi Partners LLC (“Okapi”) to help solicit proxies from stockholders for the Annual Meeting for a fee of  $20,000 and a potential success fee of  $20,000 plus reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited personally, via the Internet, by telephone or facsimile by our regular employees without additional compensation, as well as by employees of Okapi.

De Perio reporting the acquisition of shares of common stock on November 29, 2016.

Related Person Transactions and Related Person Transaction Policy

Mr. Kasoff serves as president of Realization Services, Inc. (“RSI”), a management consulting firm specializing in assisting companies and capital stakeholders in troubled business environments. Pursuant to a consulting agreement between the Company and RSI dated August 17, 2015 and subsequent amendments, RSI performed consulting services for the Company for the period from August 8, 2015 to March 30, 2016, including assisting the Company with a review and assessment of the Company’s business and the formulation of a business plan to enhance stockholder value going forward. On July 15, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with RSI to perform consulting services from July 18, 2016 through August 14, 2016 with an option for a three week extended term. Under the consulting agreement, RSI could receive consulting fees of up to $125,000 per week during the initial term. Consulting fees for the extended term, if elected by the Company, could not exceed $500,000. RSI received consulting fees of  $2.4 million and $3.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which are recorded in restructuring and other charges. Mr. Kasoff resigned from his position as the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer on September 8, 2016 and from the Company’s board of directors on February 2, 2017. On February 17, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with RSI pursuant to which RSI has agreed to assist the Company in overseeing the defense of the previously disclosed litigation involving CMC Magnetic Corp. and the Company, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay RSI ten percent (10%) of the difference between certain of the Company’s anticipated and actual liabilities and costs in such litigation, based in part on the timing of the final resolution of such litigation.

On October 14, 2015, the Company acquired substantially all of the equity of Connected Data, Inc. (“CDI”) for approximately $6.7 million in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock and repayment of debt. Mr. Barrall is the founder and, at the time of acquisition, was also the Chief Executive Officer of CDI. In consideration for his CDI common shares and options to purchase CDI common shares, Mr. Barrall received approximately $184,000 at the time of the acquisition and he will be eligible to receive up to an additional $260,000 to the extent certain CDI revenue targets are achieved for the three consecutive six-month periods commencing January 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, no such additional payments had been made to Mr. Barrall.

On February 8, 2016, the Company entered into a subscription agreement to invest up to $20 million of its excess cash from various Company subsidiaries in the Clinton Lighthouse Equity Strategies Fund (Offshore) Ltd. (“Clinton Lighthouse Fund”). Clinton Lighthouse Fund is a market neutral fund which provides daily liquidity to its investors. Clinton Lighthouse Fund is managed by Clinton Group, Inc. (the “Clinton Group”). Pursuant to the arrangement, the Clinton Group agreed to waive its customary management fee and agreed to the receipt of any consideration pursuant to incentive compensation in the form of the Company’s common stock at a value of  $10.00 per share (as adjusted to reflect the Company’s 1:10 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective February 21, 2017 (the ‘‘Reverse Stock Split’’). The closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 8, 2016 was $6.50 (as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split). The Board of Directors, in conjunction with management, reviewed various funds and voted to approve this investment, with Mr. De Perio recusing himself from all discussions and deliberations and abstaining from the vote. On March 17, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the elimination of the 25% limitation on the amount of the Company’s excess cash that may be invested, such that the Company may now invest up to $35 million of its excess cash in Clinton Lighthouse Fund. On April 29, 2016, the

Company and the Clinton Group entered into an amended and restated letter agreement in order to adjust the price at which the Company’s stock would be valued for purposes of paying the incentive fee thereunder from $10.00 to $18.00 (each as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split) beginning May 1, 2016, subject to adjustment based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2016, the Company paid Clinton $0.5 million associated with the performance fees earned in 2016.

On January 31, 2017, the Company held a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the stockholders approved the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split) pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2016, by and between the Company and the Clinton Group, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Subscription Agreement, dated as of January 9, 2017 (as so amended, the “Subscription Agreement”). Mr. Perio is a Senior Portfolio Manager at the Clinton Group.

Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, the Company may request that the Clinton Group designate a mutually agreeable replacement employee to serve as Chief Operating Officer or terminate the Clinton Group’s provision of an employee to the Company for such role. Under the Services Agreement, the Company has agreed to pay the Clinton Group $125,000 for an initial term concluding on May 31, 2017, which term will automatically renew unless terminated for successive three-month terms at a rate of  $125,000 per renewal term. If the Services Agreement is terminated prior to the conclusion of a term, the Company will be reimbursed for the portion of the prepaid fee attributable to the unused portion of such term. The Clinton Group will continue to pay Mr. Strauss’s compensation and benefits and the Company has agreed to pay or reimburse Mr. Strauss for his reasonable expenses. Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, the Company has also agreed to indemnify Mr. Strauss, the Clinton Group, any substitute Chief Operating Officer and certain of their affiliates for certain losses.

Related Person Transaction Policy

On February 6, 2007, the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a written policy regarding transactions with related persons. On November 4, 2016, the Audit and Finance Committee adopted a new written policy regarding transactions with related persons to replace the prior 2007 version. In accordance with the policy, our Chief Financial Officer and the Audit and Finance Committee are responsible for the review and approval of all transactions with related persons that are required to be disclosed under the rules of the SEC. Under the policy, a “related person” includes any of our directors or executive officers, certain of our stockholders and any of their respective immediate family members. The policy applies to transactions in which GlassBridge is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and a related person has a direct or indirect material interest. A related person’s material interest in a transaction is to be determined based on the significance of the information to investors in light of all the circumstances. Under the policy, key management meets quarterly to review the list of related parties and discuss related party transactions. The Audit and Finance Committee also reviews each new, existing or proposed related party transaction, including the terms of the transaction, the business purpose of the transaction, and the benefits to GlassBridge and to the relevant related party. In

9

determining whether to approve a related party transaction, the Audit and Finance Committee will consider the factors it deems relevant to the related party transaction, including, among other things, whether the terms of the related party transaction are fair to GlassBridge on the same basis as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related party.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors is committed to sound and effective corporate governance practices. Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Guidelines”) which describe the Board’s governance principles and procedures. The Guidelines, which comply with the criteria established under the NYSE listing standards, cover director qualifications and retirement policy, director responsibilities, Board committees, director access to officers and employees, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, Chief Executive Officer evaluation and management succession, and the annual performance evaluation of the Board. The Guidelines are available on our website. The Internet address for our website is www.glassbridge.com and the Guidelines can be found on our “Corporate Governance” page, which can be accessed from the main web page.

Code of Ethics

We adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions, and all of our other employees. Our code of ethics is part of our broader Business Conduct Policy, which is posted on the investor relations section of our website at www.glassbridge.com under the “Corporate Governance” section. If we make any amendments to our code of ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules or rules of the NYSE, we intend to disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.

Director Independence and Determination of Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors concluded its review of the independence of our directors and nominees in March 2017. The Board made this review to determine whether any of the relationships or transactions described below, if existing, were inconsistent with a determination that the director or nominee is independent. During this review, our Board reviewed:

•

whether there were any transactions or relationships between each director, nominee or any member of his or her immediate family and us and our subsidiaries and affiliates; and

•

whether there were any relationships between the directors or nominees and senior management and between directors or nominees and our independent registered public accounting firm.

None of the directors or nominees except Mr. De Perio had any material relationship with us that would interfere with their independence from management. Therefore, the Board affirmatively determined that all of the directors and nominees except Mr. De Perio are independent as defined under the NYSE listing standards.

11

In March 2017, the Board also reviewed whether the Audit and Finance Committee had an audit committee financial expert as defined in the SEC rules. The Board reviewed the skills and experience required under the rules and determined that Mr. Searing qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined under those rules.

Meetings of the Board and Board Committees

Meetings of the Board

During 2016, the Board of Directors held a total of ten meetings, and the various standing committees of the Board met a total of eleven times. Each incumbent director attended at least 75% or more of the total meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board committees on which such director served. The non-management directors of the Board met at scheduled executive sessions at each Board meeting. The Chairman, currently Joseph A. De Perio, presided at these sessions other than with respect to portions of these sessions when the Board discussed transactions between us and Clinton Group, Inc., during which portions Mr. De Perio recused himself from all discussions and deliberations and did not participate in any voting.

The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit and Finance Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee. Each of the Board committees has adopted a written charter which describes the functions and responsibilities of the committee. The charters for our Audit and Finance Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee are available on our website. The Internet address for our website is www.glassbridge.com. The charters are on our “Board Committees” page, which can be accessed from the “Corporate Governance” page, which can be accessed from the main web page.

Risk Oversight

Our Board has responsibility for risk oversight, focusing on our overall risk management strategy, our degree of tolerance for risk, and the steps management is taking to manage our risks. Management reports on its risk management process on a quarterly basis to the Board of Directors. The Audit and Finance Committee also receives quarterly reports on key financial risks that could affect us.

The Board of Directors oversees our risk management process and our management is responsible for day-to-day risk assessment and mitigation activities. We believe this division of responsibilities provides an effective approach for addressing our risks and that our Board leadership structure (with the separation of the Chairman of the Board from the Chief Executive Officer to strengthen the Board of Directors general oversight role) is aligned with this approach.

Director Nominations

The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider qualified candidates for Board membership submitted by stockholders. A candidate for election to the Board needs the ability to apply good business judgment and must be in a position to properly exercise his or her duties of loyalty and care in his or her representation of the interests of stockholders. Candidates should also exhibit proven leadership capabilities, high integrity and experience with a high level of responsibilities within their chosen fields, and have the ability to quickly grasp complex principles of business, finance and international transactions and those regarding our industry. In general, candidates will be preferred who hold an established executive level position and have extensive experience in business, finance, law, education, research or government. The Nominating and Governance Committee also reviews the current composition of the Board to determine the needs of the Board in terms of diversity of candidates including diversity of skills, experience, race, national origin or gender, but the Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a specific policy with regard to the consideration of diversity. The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider all these criteria for nominees identified by the Nominating and Governance Committee, by stockholders or through some other source. The Nominating and Governance Committee also uses external search firms to assist it in locating candidates that meet the criteria for qualified candidates. When current Board members are considered for nomination for re-election, the Nominating and Governance Committee will also take into consideration their prior Board contributions, performance and meeting attendance records.

Stockholders who want to submit a qualified candidate for Board membership can do so by sending the following information to the Nominating and Governance Committee (through our Corporate Secretary at 1099 Helmo Ave. N. Suite 250, Oakdale, Minnesota 55128):

•

name of the candidate and a brief biographical sketch and resume;

•

contact information for the candidate and a document evidencing the candidate’s willingness to serve as a director if elected; and

•

a signed statement as to the submitting stockholder’s current status as a stockholder and the number of shares currently held.

The Nominating and Governance Committee will conduct a process of making a preliminary assessment of each proposed nominee based upon his or her resume and biographical information, an indication of the individual’s willingness to serve and other relevant information. This information will be evaluated against the criteria set forth above and our specific needs at that time. Based upon a preliminary assessment of the candidate(s), those who appear best suited to meet our needs may be subject to a background investigation and may be invited to participate in a series of interviews, which are used as a further means of evaluating potential candidates. On the basis of information learned during this process, the Nominating and Governance Committee will determine which nominee(s) to recommend to the Board to submit for election at the next annual meeting. The Nominating and Governance Committee will use the same process for evaluating all nominees, regardless of the original source of the nomination. Any nominations for director to be made at an annual meeting of stockholders must be made in accordance with the requirements described in the section entitled “Stockholder Proposals for 2017 Annual Meeting.”

14

The restricted stock vests in one year but may accelerate under certain circumstances such as death, disability, retirement and change of control of GlassBridge, as defined under the 2005 Director Program, as amended. Directors joining during the year receive a prorated annual equity grant. The initial equity grant for a director or Chairperson who is first elected at a time other than the annual meeting of stockholders is prorated based on the dollar value of the equity grant to directors or the Chairman at the time of the preceding annual meeting of stockholders.

•

Continuing Education Program Reimbursement: We encourage our directors to attend continuing education programs for directors and reimburse any director who chooses to attend such programs for the cost of attending the program, including travel and lodging, at the maximum rate of one program per year.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF TRACY MCKIBBEN AND DONALD H. PUTNAM AS CLASS III MEMBERS OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Assuming the presence of a quorum, directors in uncontested elections are elected by the majority of the votes cast with respect to such director at the Annual Meeting. A majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “FOR” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that director. In a contested election, a situation in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a situation we do not anticipate), the standard for election of directors will be a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A plurality means that the nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast will be elected.

If a nominee who is serving as a director is not elected at the Annual Meeting, under Delaware law the director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director.” However, under our bylaws, any director who fails to be elected must offer to tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Governance Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within 90 days from the date the election results are certified. The director who tenders his or her resignation will not participate in the Board’s decision.

AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) is composed of non-employee directors, each of whom is independent as defined under the NYSE listing standards and the rules of the SEC. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors which is available on our website.

•

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with GlassBridge’s management.

•

The Committee has discussed with Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), GlassBridge’s independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 61, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Marcum required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Marcum communications with the Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Marcum its independence from GlassBridge. In connection with its review of Marcum’s independence, the Committee also considered whether Marcum’s provision of non-audit services during the 2016 fiscal year was compatible with the maintenance of its independence and determined that it was.

•

Based on the review and discussions described above, the Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, for filing with the SEC.

The reports of PwC on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and through May 6, 2016, (i) there were no disagreements between the Company and PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the matter in their reports on the Company’s financial statements for the such years and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The listing below reflects this change in our independent registered public accounting firm in fiscal year 2016.

​	Fiscal Year 2016(1)			Fiscal Year 2015

Audit and Finance Committee Pre-Approval Policy of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

All the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm are subject to pre-approval by the Audit and Finance Committee. The Audit and Finance Committee has authorized the Chairman of the Audit and Finance Committee to approve services by our independent registered public accounting firm in the event there is a need for approval prior to the next full Audit and Finance Committee meeting. The Chairman reports any pre-approval decisions to the Audit and Finance Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

With respect to each proposed pre-approved service, our independent registered public accounting firm provides back-up documentation as requested, including estimated fees regarding the specific services to be provided. The Audit and Finance Committee (or Chairman, as applicable) reviews the services and the estimated fees and considers whether approval of the proposed services will have a detrimental impact on

21

our independent registered public accounting firm’s independence prior to approving any service. At least annually, a member of our management reports to the Audit and Finance Committee all audit and non-audit services performed during the previous twelve months and all fees billed by our independent registered public accounting firm for those services.

In fiscal year 2016 and 2015, all audit services, audit-related services, tax services and those items described above under all other fees were pre-approved by the Audit and Finance Committee or the Chairman.

PROPOSAL NO. 2
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit and Finance Committee has appointed Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements for 2017. Marcum has audited our financial statements since 2016. Representatives of Marcum will attend the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Stockholder ratification of the appointment of Marcum as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board of Directors is submitting the appointment of Marcum to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit and Finance Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain Marcum. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee, which is solely responsible for appointing and terminating our independent registered public accounting firm, may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that a change would be in our best interest and in the best interest of our stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.

(1)

This column represents additional bonus types paid. For Mr. Zheng, the amount reflects retention payments.

(2)

In accordance with Finance Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“FASB ASC Topic 718”), we chose the grant date fair value of the restricted stock as equivalent to the closing stock price on the date of grant. The stock awards for 2016 include the entire 2016 performance-based restricted stock award.

(3)

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, we chose the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the grant date fair value of the options set forth in this table. Our use of this model should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy at valuing options. All stock option valuation models, including the Black-Scholes model, require a prediction about the future movement of the stock price.

(4)

The amounts shown for are for the portion of the 2016 ABP earned by Messrs. Zheng and Morello and the cash portions of the 2014 performance cash awards earned in 2016.

(5)

The amounts in this column represent changes in pension value. There are no non-qualified deferred compensation earnings for any of the named executive officers. The 2016 present value of our pension plans was calculated using the assumptions described in the Pension Benefits Table. See “Compensation Under Retirement Plans.”

(6)

The items for 2016 that make up the amounts in this column are described in the “Supplemental All Other Compensation Table” below.

As has been previously disclosed, we have undergone a period of significant changes. Beginning with the proxy contest in connection with the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and continuing until February 2017, we underwent a restructuring plan led by our management, our Board of Directors and its Strategic Alternatives Committee. Since that proxy contest, our evolution has included a re-composition of the Board of Directors and changes in the compensation structures of the Board of Directors and management. These compensation changes included initiatives to suspend temporarily cash bonus compensation for certain executive officers and long-term incentive (“LTI”) compensation not tied to performance-based vesting requirements. In early 2017, the Compensation Committee approved a new compensation framework designed to condition the payment of substantial portions of management’s potential compensation on companywide and individual performance metrics. The new framework includes annual and long-term incentive programs for management that are based on individualized performance goals and are designed to incentivize performance aligned with our strategic plan, including the development of our asset management business and cash position, and increasing stockholder value.

Compensation Under Retirement Plans

Danny Zheng	Pension Plan	​	2	​	22,964	​	0
​	Non-Qualified Pension Plan	​	8	​	1,024	​	0

(1)

The credited service reported in this table does not impact the amount of benefits owed to the named executive under the Non-Qualified Pension Plan (because benefits under that plan are not calculated based on credited service) but it does show the vesting service the named executive has earned under the Pension Plan.

(2)

The present value was calculated using the following assumptions: a discount rate of 4.00%; an interest crediting rate of 3.00%; the years to age 65 for the named executive officer as follows: 17.8333. Benefits under the Non-Qualified Pension Plan are based on performance-based discretionary contributions made on or after December 31, 2011 under the 401(k) Plan that they did not receive under the 401(k) Plan because of the compensation limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code.

(1)

This amount represents the amount of salary due to the named executive officer upon termination not for cause or by executive for good reason per their individual employment agreements.

(2)

This amount represent the amount of accrued annual bonus that would be due to the named executive officer if terminated not for cause or by executive for good reason as of December 31, 2016.

In the past several years we made changes to our retirement plans to reduce our overall expenses and the risks associated with the volatility of defined benefit pension plan expenses and to more closely align our retirement benefit design with that of our peer companies.

Our Retirement Investment Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), a tax-qualified defined contribution pension plan under the Internal Revenue Code, covers our eligible domestic employees. Eligible employees may enroll in the 401(k) Plan after joining GlassBridge and may contribute up to 60% of eligible earnings on a pre-tax basis, up to a maximum amount determined each year by the IRS. In 2016, the IRS limit was $18,000, plus an additional $6,000 for employees who have attained age 50.

Under the 401(k) Plan, the “safe harbor” matching contribution formula is 100% of the employee’s contributions up to 5% of the employee’s eligible earnings. The maximum matching contribution per employee for 2016 was $13,250; no matching contributions were made in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Matching contributions deposited in the 401(k) Plan’s trust by December 31, 2014 were made in the form of the Company’s stock (which the participant may elect to immediately transfer to other investment funds available under the 401(k) Plan) and are immediately vested. All matching contributions deposited in the 401(k) Plan’s trust after December 31, 2014 are made in cash. The 401(k) Plan also allows GlassBridge to make an annual performance-based discretionary contribution on behalf of eligible employees. For 2016, management and the Committee decided that due to the state of flux of GlassBridge, a performance based element would not be put in place for 2016.

27

Our Cash Balance Pension Plan, a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Pension Plan”), was “frozen” as to new participants effective December 31, 2009; this means no employees hired or rehired after December 31, 2009 are eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. In addition, the Pension Plan was later amended to “freeze” the benefits of participants in the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2010. This means no participants in the Pension Plan will receive credit for new benefit accruals (referred to as “pay credits” under the Pension Plan) after December 31, 2010; their accrued benefits as December 31, 2010 will continue to receive annual interest credits (equal to the average yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury Bonds for November of the previous year) until they receive a distribution. For the 2016 Pension Plan year, the interest-crediting rate was 3.03%. Effective December 31, 2010, we also “froze” the additional benefits that had been provided each year under our Pension Plan to certain eligible former 3M Company employees who had accrued additional benefits in our Pension Plan since our spin-off in 1996.

Employees who participate in the Pension Plan may begin receiving payment of their vested accrued benefit after they terminate employment. The accrued benefit becomes vested when a current employee attains age 65 or has completed three years of vesting service under the Pension Plan. Payment of the vested accrued benefit may be in a lump sum or as a monthly pension having an equivalent actuarial value based on conversion factors established under the Pension Plan. Participants who elect to receive payment of their accrued benefit before they attain age 65 will receive a reduced benefit based on factors under the Pension Plan.

The Internal Revenue Code and IRS rules impose certain limitations on the amount of benefits that may be provided under tax qualified retirement plans, such as our 401(k) Plan and Pension Plan. These limits, among other things, cap the amount of compensation that may be considered under the 401(k) Plan and Pension Plan (this limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code was $265,000 in 2016). Our Non-Qualified Pension Plan provides retirement benefits for certain eligible employees affected by these limits. An eligible participant in the Non-Qualified Pension Plan receives a benefit upon termination of employment that makes up for benefits the employee did not receive (1) under the Pension Plan because of limits on Pension Plan benefits imposed by section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code and the compensation limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code and (2) under the 401(k) Plan for performance-based discretionary contributions made on and after December 31, 2011 because of the compensation limit under section 401(a)(17) of the Code. Like the Pension Plan, the Non-Qualified Pension Plan was “frozen” as to new participants effective December 31, 2009, except for certain newly hired (or rehired) employees who are named as participants in the Non-Qualified Pension Plan on or after December 31, 2011 for purposes of receiving a benefit based on the performance-based discretionary contribution portion of the formula. Benefits under the Pension Plan and Non-Qualified Pension Plan are vested after three years of service with the Company.

PROPOSAL NO. 3
ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 951 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking our stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules.

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the compensation philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.

The compensation of our named executive officers subject to the vote is disclosed in the compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure contained in this proxy statement. We believe that our compensation policies and decisions are strongly aligned with our stockholders’ interests. Compensation of our named executive officers is designed to enable us to attract, motivate and retain talented and experienced executives to lead our Company successfully in a competitive environment.

Accordingly, the Board is asking the stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by casting a non-binding advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers for 2016, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of SEC Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative disclosures, is hereby APPROVED on an advisory basis.”

Because the vote is advisory, it is not binding on us or the Board. Nevertheless, the views expressed by stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to management and the Board and, accordingly, the Board and the Compensation Committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Advisory approval of this proposal requires the vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting either in person or by proxy. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

29

PROPOSAL NO. 4
ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF ADVISORY VOTES ON
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing stockholders with an advisory (nonbinding) vote on the frequency with which our stockholders shall have the advisory vote on executive compensation as provided for in Item 3 above. By voting on this Proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on executive compensation once every one, two or three years. In addition, stockholders may abstain from voting. We are required to hold an advisory vote on frequency at least once every six years. Our stockholders previously supported in 2011, on an advisory basis, a one-year frequency for this advisory vote on our executive compensation.

After careful consideration, and in light of the stockholder support in 2011 for an annual vote, our Board of Directors has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year continues to be the most appropriate alternative for GlassBridge. In formulating its recommendation, our Board of Directors considered that an annual advisory vote on executive compensation will allow our stockholders to provide us with their direct input on our compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in the proxy statement every year. This is consistent with our philosophy of seeking input from our stockholders and maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance. We understand that our stockholders may have different views as to what is the best approach for GlassBridge, and we look forward to hearing from our stockholders on this Proposal.

You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years or three years or you may abstain from voting.

The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been selected by stockholders. This advisory vote is not binding on GlassBridge or our Board of Directors. However, our Board of Directors will take into account the result of the vote when determining the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. Because this vote is advisory and not binding on GlassBridge or our Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may decide that it is in the best interests of GlassBridge and our stockholders to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE “FOR” THE OPTION OF ONE YEAR AS THE FREQUENCY WITH WHICH STOCKHOLDERS ARE PROVIDED AN ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS. The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be deemed the choice of the stockholders.

30

PROPOSAL NO. 5
ADOPTION OF AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board of Directors has unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, the adoption of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to:

a.

reduce the number of shares of preferred stock we are authorized to issue to 200,000 and to incorporate other amendments previously approved by our stockholders (“Certificate Proposal A”); and

b.

delete Article Thirteen of our current Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (our ‘‘Current Certificate’’) which requires the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80% of the outstanding shares of our common stock to approve certain business transactions with certain related persons or in which certain related persons have an interest (“Certificate Proposal B”).

Stockholders will vote separately on Certificate Proposal A and Certificate Proposal B. These proposals are not conditioned on each other.

The description of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in this proxy statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A-1. For convenience of reference, Appendix A-2 is a marked version of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in which deleted text is shown in strikethrough and added text is shown as underlined and footnotes explain certain of the changes.

Certificate Proposal A

Certificate Proposal A is to reduce the number of shares of preferred stock we are authorized to issue to 200,000 and to incorporate other amendments previously approved by our stockholders.

As of July 14, 2017, no preferred shares had been issued or were outstanding. If Certificate Proposal A is approved, the Board of Directors believes that these available shares of preferred stock will be adequate to meet the Company’s needs for the foreseeable future.

Purpose of the Reduction in Authorized Shares

The purpose of the reduction in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock is to reduce our Delaware franchise tax liability. Currently, the Company incurs an annual Delaware franchise tax liability of $180,000. By reducing the number of shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue to 200,000 shares, the Company will be able to reduce its annual Delaware franchise tax liability to less than $77,000, resulting in annual savings to the Company of at least $103,000.

The Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to reduce the number of authorized shares of preferred stock as described herein because, in its business judgment, the reduced number of authorized shares will still provide adequate flexibility to the Company in engaging in future capital raising transactions, acquisitions or other transactions which might require the issuance of preferred stock, while allowing the Company to reduce its Delaware franchise tax liability.

Incorporation of Previous Amendments

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation was previously amended to change our name from “Imation Corp.” to “GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc.” and to effect the Reverse Stock Split. The Board of Directors has determined that it would be beneficial to incorporate these previous amendments together with the reduction in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock into an amended and restated certificate of incorporation so that all of the current provisions are in a single document.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE PROPOSAL A. The vote required to approve Certificate Proposal A is a majority of GlassBridge’s common stock outstanding as of the record date.

31

Certificate Proposal B

Certificate Proposal B is to delete Article Thirteen of our Current Certificate in its entirety.

Purpose of the Elimination of Article Thirteen

Article Thirteen of our Current Certificate provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required for the approval or authorization of certain transactions with a ‘‘Related Person’’ (defined generally as the beneficial holder of 10% of our voting stock) or in which a Related Person has an interest (other than only a proportionate interest as a stockholder of the Company) (a ‘‘Related Party Business Transaction’’), except if the transaction is approved by a requisite number of  ‘‘Continuing Directors’’ (defined generally as directors whose election or nomination for election was approved by previous incumbent directors) or if the Related Party Business Transaction is a merger or consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets which satisfies certain specified conditions, including that the Company’s stockholders receive a specified minimum amount of cash.

Article Thirteen of our Current Certificate has been a part of the Company’s certificate of incorporation since the Company became a separate public company in 1996. It protects the Company from certain types of unsolicited attempts to acquire control of the Company. For example, in the case of a tender offer, a bidder may launch an offer to acquire a majority of the shares of the Company and, if successful, then propose another transaction to acquire the remainder of the Company’s outstanding shares. Under Article Thirteen, any such transaction to acquire the remaining shares must be approved by at least 80% of our outstanding shares, unless the transaction is approved by our Continuing Directors or the other above conditions are satisfied.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, has concluded that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to eliminate this supermajority voting requirement by removing Article Thirteen from our Current Certificate. In making their determinations, the Board of Directors and the Nominating and Governance Committee considered, among other things, the following:

Article Thirteen’s Supermajority Stockholder Voting Requirement Contributes to Board of Directors and Management Entrenchment.   The Board of Directors determined that the protections against unsolicited offers afforded by the supermajority stockholder voting requirement in Article Thirteen impede accountability to stockholders and contribute to Board of Directors and management entrenchment. While it is important to the Company’s long-term success for the Board of Directors to maintain appropriate defenses against inadequate takeover bids, it is also important for the Board of Directors to maintain stockholder confidence by demonstrating that it is accountable to stockholders and committed to strong corporate governance. In addition, the Board of Directors considered the fact that some institutional investors may look unfavorably at a potential investment in the Company in light of the effects of this supermajority voting requirement on accountability and entrenchment.

Adequate Protection from DGCL Section 203.   The Board of Directors concluded that the elimination of Article Thirteen will not adversely affect our Company and will not leave the Company insufficiently protected against inadequate takeover bids because we will continue to be protected from hostile takeovers by Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (‘‘Section 203’’). As in the case of Article Thirteen, Section 203 addresses the problem of abusive takeover attempts by preventing certain business combinations of a corporation with certain related stockholders, defined in Section 203 as ‘‘interested stockholders.’’ Under Section 203, an ‘‘interested stockholder’’ is any person (other than the corporation and any majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) that (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or (ii) is an affiliate of the corporation and was an owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the three-year period immediately prior to the date a determination is sought on whether such person is an interested stockholder. Section 203 prohibits business combinations with interested stockholders within three years after such stockholders become interested, unless (a) the business combination is approved by the board of directors before the person becomes an interested stockholder, (b) the interested stockholder acquired 85% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation in the same transaction that made such person

32

an interested stockholder or (c) the business combination is approved by the board of directors and by the holders of at least 662∕3% of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the interested stockholder. Section 203 is intended to have a deterrent effect on the ability of a person to acquire a substantial block of a corporation’s voting stock and to attempt to gain control of the corporation without negotiating directly with its board.

There Currently are No Continuing Directors.   The Board of Directors also considered the fact that there currently are no members of the Board of Directors that constitute Continuing Directors. Accordingly, all transactions that fall within the broad purview of Article Thirteen (other than certain specified transactions described above) would need to be approved by holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock. This undermines the rights of stockholders to be represented by disinterested directors that are empowered by and accountable to those stockholders to approve such a transaction which they believe to be in the best interests of the stockholders, and instead requires the affirmative vote of holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares of our common stock, with any non-votes or abstentions considered votes against such a transaction. As a result, a transaction approved by our disinterested directors would not proceed if a small minority of stockholders either does not vote, abstains, or votes against the transaction.

Potential Chilling Effect on Certain Transactions.   The Board of Directors also determined that Article Thirteen may have a chilling effect on potential takeover, acquisition and investment activity in or by the Company, including potential strategic alternatives. As previously disclosed, the Company is regularly exploring strategies to create stockholder value, and from time to time engages in discussions to explore the possibility of such transactions. The potential transactions which we currently are exploring include transactions involving Related Persons, and Article Thirteen may have a chilling effect on such potential transactions. At present, we have not entered into any definitive agreement or other commitment with any party for any such potential transaction, and there can be no assurances that we will enter into any such agreement or commitment or that any such transaction will be completed.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE ‘‘FOR’’ THE APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE PROPOSAL B. The vote required to approve Certificate Proposal B is eighty percent (80%) of GlassBridge’s common stock outstanding as of the record date.

PROPOSAL NO. 6
AMENDMENT OF STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

On June 13, 2017, the Board of Directors unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment (the “Stock Plan Amendment”) to the GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (2016) (the “Stock Incentive Plan”). If adopted by our stockholders, the Stock Plan Amendment would, among other things:

•

Increase the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock-based awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan by 200,000 shares to a total of 934,300 shares;

•

Revise the limit on awards made to non-employee directors under the Stock Incentive Plan so that it may be implemented on a per-director, per-year basis and so that it applies to both cash and equity compensation paid in the aggregate to a director in a given calendar year; and

•

Enable the Stock Incentive Plan to continue to satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 162(m)”), and the related regulations with respect to “qualified performance-based compensation.”

The Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of 2016, was most recently approved by our stockholders on June 24, 2016. The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to promote the interests of GlassBridge and our stockholders by aiding us in attracting and retaining employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and non-employee directors capable of assuring the future success of GlassBridge and motivating such persons to put forth maximum efforts for the success of our business. The Stock Incentive Plan allows us to compensate such persons through various stock-based arrangements and provide them with opportunities for stock ownership in GlassBridge, thereby aligning the interests of such persons with our stockholders.

The Stock Incentive Plan currently sets a limit of 100,000 shares, in the aggregate and over the lifetime of the plan, on awards made to all non-employee directors. The Stock Plan Amendment would replace this aggregate lifetime limit with an annual, per-director limit, expressed as a dollar value and applicable to both cash and equity-based compensation. We believe that this restated limit under the Stock Incentive Plan will better align the limit on awards to non-employee directors under the Stock Incentive Plan with general industry practice. In addition, the Stock Plan Amendment will provide GlassBridge with greater flexibility to accomplish the objectives of our non-employee director compensation program without limitations that can result from fluctuations in the value of our common stock.

We are also requesting an additional 200,000 shares pursuant to the Stock Plan Amendment, which will permit GlassBridge to grant awards under the Stock Incentive Plan beyond the date when the currently authorized shares have been exhausted. The share pool and all share limits under the Stock Incentive Plan have been adjusted, in accordance with the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

We currently award stock options, restricted stock and cash-based performance awards to employees, officers and restricted stock to non-employee directors under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of July 17, 2017, we had approximately 226,510 shares remaining available for future awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, of which approximately 226,510 shares remained available for future grants of full value awards.

One of the requirements of  “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) is that the material terms of performance-based awards be approved by stockholders. The material terms include: (i) the employees eligible to receive compensation, (ii) a description of the business criteria upon which a performance goal may be based, and (iii) the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to an employee under awards intended to satisfy the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m). Stockholder approval of the Stock Incentive Plan is intended to constitute approval of each of these aspects of the Stock Incentive Plan for purposes of the approval requirements of Section 162(m). However, nothing in this proposal precludes GlassBridge or the Compensation Committee, which administers the Stock Incentive Plan, from granting awards that do not qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m), nor is there any guarantee that awards intended to qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m) will ultimately be viewed as so qualifying by the Internal Revenue Service. If stockholders

34

fail to reapprove the material terms of performance-based awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, we may continue to pay performance-based compensation thereunder in the future, even though any such compensation paid may not meet the conditions for tax deductibility under Section 162(m).

A copy of the Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated to reflect the Stock Plan Amendment, is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement, with the amended text marked. The following is a summary of the material terms of the Stock Incentive Plan as amended and restated by the Stock Plan Amendment, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

Administration

The Compensation Committee administers the Stock Incentive Plan and has full power and authority to determine when and to whom awards will be granted, and the type, amount, form of payment and other terms and conditions of each award, including conditions for forfeiture or recoupment of awards, consistent with the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan. In addition, the Committee can specify whether, and under what circumstances, awards to be received under the Stock Incentive Plan or amounts payable under such awards may be deferred automatically or at the election of either the holder of the award or the Committee. Subject to the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan, the Committee may amend or waive the terms and conditions, or accelerate the exercisability, of an outstanding award. The Committee has authority to interpret the Stock Incentive Plan and establish rules and regulations for the administration of the Stock Incentive Plan.

The Compensation Committee may delegate its powers under the Stock Incentive Plan to one or more directors (including a director who is also an officer), except that the Committee may not delegate its powers to grant awards to executive officers or directors who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or in a way that would violate Section 162(m). In addition, the Compensation Committee may authorize one or more of our non-director officers to grant stock options under the Stock Incentive Plan, provided that stock option awards made by these officers may not be made to executive officers or directors who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors may also exercise the powers of the Compensation Committee at any time, so long as its actions would not violate Section 162(m).

Eligible Participants

Any employee, officer, consultant, independent contractor, advisor or non-employee director providing services to us or any of our affiliates, who is selected by the Compensation Committee, is eligible to receive an award under the Stock Incentive Plan. As of July 17, 2017, approximately 15 employees, officers, consultants, independent contractors, advisors and directors were eligible as a class to be selected by the Committee to receive awards under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Shares Available For Awards; Award Limits

The aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may currently be issued under all stock-based awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan is 734,300. If the Stock Plan Amendment is approved by our stockholders, the maximum number of shares authorized under the Stock Incentive Plan will be increased by 200,000 shares, to 934,300 shares. Certain awards under the Stock Incentive Plan are subject to limitations as follows:

•

No person may be granted in any calendar year awards, the value of which is based solely on an increase in the value of our common stock after the date of grant of the award, of more than 50,000 shares in the aggregate.

•

As amended by the Stock Plan Amendment, the number of shares of our common stock that may be covered by awards granted during a calendar year to any non-employee director, when taken together with any cash fees paid to such director during the calendar year in respect of his or her service as a director, may not exceed $400,000 in total value (calculating the value of any such awards based on the fair market value at the time of grant for financial reporting purposes).

35

The Committee will adjust the number of shares and share limits described above in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution, including a stock split, merger or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects shares of our common stock, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Types of Awards and Terms and Conditions

The Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of:

•

stock options (including both incentive and non-qualified stock options);

•

stock appreciation rights (“SARs”);

•

restricted stock and restricted stock units;

•

dividend equivalents;

•

performance awards of cash, stock or property;

•

stock awards; and

•

other stock-based awards.

Awards may be granted alone, in addition to, in combination with or in substitution for, any other award granted under the Stock Incentive Plan or any other compensation plan. Awards can be granted for no cash consideration or for any cash or other consideration as may be determined by the Compensation Committee or as required by applicable law. Awards may provide that upon the grant or exercise thereof, the holder will receive cash, shares of our common stock, other securities or property, or any combination of these in a single payment, installments or on a deferred basis. The exercise price per share under any stock option may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant of such option except to satisfy legal requirements of foreign jurisdictions or if the option is in substitution for an option previously granted by an entity acquired by us. The grant price of any SAR may not be less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant of such SAR. Determinations of fair market value under the Stock Incentive Plan will be made in accordance with methods and procedures established by the Committee. The term of awards will not be longer than ten years from the date of grant. Awards will be adjusted by the Committee in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution, including a stock split, merger or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects shares of our common stock, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be provided under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Stock Options.   The holder of an option will be entitled to purchase a number of shares of our common stock at a specified exercise price during a specified time period, all as determined by the Committee. The option exercise price may be payable either in cash or, at the discretion of the Committee, in other securities or other property having a fair market value on the exercise date equal to the exercise price.

Stock Appreciation Rights.   The holder of a SAR is entitled to receive the excess of the fair market value (calculated as of the exercise date or, at the Committee’s discretion, as of any time during a specified period before or after the exercise date) of a specified number of shares of our common stock over the grant price of the SAR. SARs vest and become exercisable in accordance with a vesting schedule established by the Committee.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.   The holder of restricted stock will own shares of our common stock subject to restrictions imposed by the Committee (including, for example, restrictions on the right to vote the restricted shares or to receive any dividends with respect to the shares) for a specified time period determined by the Committee. The holder of restricted stock units will have the right, subject to any restrictions imposed by the Committee, to receive shares of our common stock, or a cash payment equal to the fair market value of those shares, at some future date determined by the Committee. The minimum vesting period for restricted stock and restricted stock units is one year from the date of grant, except that up to 5% of the shares available for issuance may be granted with a shorter or no vesting period. The

36

Committee may permit accelerated vesting only in the case of a participant’s death or disability or a change in control of GlassBridge. If the participant’s employment or service as a director terminates during the vesting period for any other reason, the restricted stock and restricted stock units will be forfeited.

Dividend Equivalents.   The holder of a dividend equivalent will be entitled to receive payments (in cash, shares of our common stock, other securities or other property) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by us to our stockholders, with respect to the number of shares determined by the Committee. Dividend equivalents will be subject to other terms and conditions determined by the Committee, but the Committee may not grant dividend equivalents in connection with grants of options or SARs.

Performance Awards.   In addition to options and SARs, the Committee may currently grant awards under the Stock Incentive Plan that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m). A performance award may be payable in cash or stock and will be conditioned solely upon the achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the Committee in compliance with Section 162(m). The Committee must determine the length of the performance period, establish the performance goals for the performance period, and determine the amounts of the performance awards for each participant within the time period prescribed by Section 162(m). Performance awards which are not intended to qualify under Section 162(m) may be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan in addition to performance awards which are intended to so qualify, and only performance awards that are intended to so qualify are subject to the limitations in the Stock Incentive Plan relating to Section 162(m).

Under the Stock Incentive Plan, performance goals must currently be based solely on one or more of the following business criteria, applied on a corporate, subsidiary, division, business unit or line of business basis: sales, revenue, costs, expenses, earnings (including one or more of net profit after tax, gross profit, operating profit, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and net earnings), earnings per share, earnings per share from continuing operations, operating income, pre-tax income, operating income margin, net income, margins (including one or more of gross, operating and net income margins), returns (including one or more of return on actual or proforma assets, net assets, equity, investment, capital and net capital employed), stockholder return (including total stockholder return relative to an index or peer group), stock price, market capitalization, economic value added, cash generation, cash flow (including operating cash flow, free cash flow and cash flow return on equity), unit volume, working capital, market share, cost reductions, strategic plan development and implementation, product-based goals and ratios (including price to earnings, debt to assets and debt to net assets ratios and ratios regarding liquidity, solvency, productivity or risk). The measure of performance may be set by reference to an absolute standard or a comparison to specified companies or groups of companies, or other external measures. The limitation on performance goals which are set forth in the Stock Incentive Plan only apply to performance awards that are intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).

To the extent consistent with Section 162(m), the Compensation Committee may establish rules to permit the Committee to adjust any evaluation of the performance under the applicable goals to exclude the effect of certain events, including, but not limited to, asset write-downs; litigation or claim judgments or settlements; changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; severance, contract termination and other costs related to exiting certain business activities; acquisitions; and gains or losses from the disposition of businesses or assets or from the early extinguishment of debt.

Under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee will certify that the applicable performance goals have been met prior to payment of any performance awards to participants to the extent required by Section 162(m). The maximum amount that may be paid with respect to performance awards to any participant in the aggregate in any calendar year is $2,000,000 in value, whether payable in cash, stock or other property. The foregoing limitation applies only to the maximum amount payable pursuant to performance awards that are intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).

Stock Awards.   The Committee may grant unrestricted shares of our common stock, subject to terms and conditions determined by the Committee and the limitations in the Stock Incentive Plan.

37

Other Stock-Based Awards.   The Committee is also authorized to grant other types of awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to our common stock, subject to terms and conditions determined by the Committee and the limitations in the Stock Incentive Plan.

Accounting for Awards

If an award entitles the holder to receive or purchase shares of our common stock, the shares covered by such award or to which the award relates will be counted against the aggregate number of shares available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. For SARs settled in shares upon exercise, the aggregate number of shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised, rather than the number of shares actually issued upon exercise, will be counted against the number of shares available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Awards that do not entitle the holder to receive or purchase shares and awards that are settled in cash will not be counted against the aggregate number of shares available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan.

If an award is terminated, forfeited or cancelled without the issuance of any shares or if shares covered by an award are not issued for any other reason, then the shares previously set aside for such award will be available for future awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. If shares of restricted stock awarded under the Stock Incentive Plan are forfeited or otherwise reacquired by us prior to vesting, those shares will again be available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. Shares withheld as payment of the purchase or exercise price of an award or in satisfaction of tax obligations relating to an award will not be available again for granting awards under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Duration, Termination and Amendment

Unless discontinued or terminated by the Board, the Stock Incentive Plan will expire on June 13, 2022. Awards may be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan until the earlier to occur of termination of the Plan or the date on which all shares available for awards under the Stock Incentive Plan have been purchased or acquired; provided, however, that incentive stock options may not be granted following the 10-year anniversary of the Board’s adoption of the Stock Incentive Plan.

The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Stock Incentive Plan at any time, although stockholder approval must be obtained for any amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan that would (1) increase the number of shares of our common stock available under the Stock Incentive Plan, (2) increase the award limits under the Stock Incentive Plan, (3) permit awards of options or SARs at a price less than fair market value, (4) permit repricing of options or SARs, or (5) cause Section 162(m) to become unavailable with respect to the Stock Incentive Plan. Stockholder approval is also required for any action that requires stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC or any other securities exchange that are applicable to us.

Treatment of Awards Upon a Change in Control

In the event of a change in control of GlassBridge, the Stock Incentive Plan provides for default “double trigger” treatment of outstanding awards thereunder, unless the awards are not assumed by the surviving entity in the change in control. In other words, outstanding awards will not vest immediately upon the consummation of a change in control; instead, unless otherwise provided in the award agreement or other applicable agreement, if the outstanding awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the surviving entity, vesting would be accelerated only upon a qualifying termination in connection with or within two years following a change in control. The default change in control provisions in the Stock Incentive Plan are summarized below:

Double Trigger Vesting.   With respect to awards assumed, converted or substituted by the surviving entity in the change in control, if within two years after the effective date of the change of control, a participant experiences a qualifying termination (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan), then:

•

all of the participant’s outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights will become fully vested and remain exercisable for a period of 90 days (or such longer period as provided in the award agreement) or until the earlier expiration of the original term of the stock option or stock appreciation right;

38

•

all time-based vesting restrictions on the participant’s outstanding awards will lapse as of the date of the qualifying termination; and

•

all performance criteria and other conditions to payment of the participant’s outstanding performance awards will be deemed to be achieved or fulfilled at the higher of  (A) actual performance or (B) a prorated amount of awards at the target level of achievement, in either case.

Single Trigger Vesting.   If the awards are not assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the change of control, then as of the change in control:

•

all outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights will become fully vested and remain exercisable for a period of 90 days (or such longer period as provided in the award agreement) or until the earlier expiration of the original term of the stock option or stock appreciation right;

•

all time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding awards will lapse; and

•

all performance criteria and other conditions to payment of the participant’s outstanding performance awards will be deemed to be achieved or fulfilled at the higher of  (A) actual performance or (B) a prorated amount of awards at the target level of achievement.

Prohibition on Repricing Awards

Without the approval of our stockholders, the Committee will not reprice, adjust or amend the exercise price of any options or the grant price of any SAR previously awarded, whether through amendment, cancellation for cash or a replacement grant or any other means, except in connection with a stock dividend or other distribution, including a stock split, merger or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects shares of our common stock, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits, or potential benefits intended to be provided under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Transferability of Awards

Except as otherwise provided by the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, awards under the Stock Incentive Plan may only be transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Under no circumstances may outstanding awards be transferred for value.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Grant of Options and SARs.   The grant of a stock option or SAR is not expected to result in any taxable income for the recipient.

Exercise of Options and SARs.   Upon exercising a non-qualified stock option, the optionee must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of our common stock acquired on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and we generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. The holder of an incentive stock option generally will have no taxable income upon exercising the option (except that an alternative minimum tax liability may arise), and we will not be entitled to an income tax deduction. Upon exercising a SAR, the amount of any cash received and the fair market value on the exercise date of any shares of our common stock received are taxable to the recipient as ordinary income and generally are deductible by us.

Disposition of Shares Acquired Upon Exercise of Options and SARs.   The tax consequence upon a disposition of shares acquired through the exercise of an option or SAR will depend on how long the shares have been held and whether the shares were acquired by exercising an incentive stock option or by exercising a non-qualified stock option or SAR. Generally, there will be no tax consequence to us in connection with the disposition of shares acquired under an option or SAR, except that we may be entitled to an income tax deduction in the case of the disposition of shares acquired under an incentive stock option before the applicable incentive stock option holding periods set forth in the Internal Revenue Code have been satisfied.

Awards Other than Options and SARs.   If an award is payable in shares of our common stock that are subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, unless a special election is made by the holder of the award under the Internal Revenue Code, the holder must recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of  (i) the fair

39

market value of the shares received (determined as of the first time the shares become transferable or not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs earlier) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award. We will generally be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount. As to other awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan that are payable either in cash or shares of our common stock not subject to substantial risk of forfeiture, the holder of the award must recognize ordinary income equal to (a) the amount of cash received or, as applicable, (b) the excess of  (i) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date such shares are received) over (ii) the amount (if any) paid for the shares by the holder of the award. We generally will be entitled at that time to an income tax deduction for the same amount.

Income Tax Deduction.   Subject to the usual rules concerning reasonable compensation, including our obligation to withhold or otherwise collect certain income and payroll taxes, and assuming that, as expected, stock options, SARs and certain other performance awards paid under the Stock Incentive Plan are “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), we generally will be entitled to a corresponding income tax deduction at the time a participant recognizes ordinary income from awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Special Rules for Executive Officers and Directors Subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.   Special rules may apply to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In particular, unless a special election is made pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, shares received through the exercise of a stock option or SAR may be treated as restricted as to transferability and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture for a period of up to six months after the date of exercise. Accordingly, the amount of any ordinary income recognized and the amount of our income tax deduction will be determined as of the end of that period.

Delivery of Shares for Tax Obligation.   Under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Committee may permit participants receiving or exercising awards, subject to the discretion of the Committee and upon such terms and conditions as it may impose, to deliver shares of our common stock (either shares received upon the receipt or exercise of the award or shares previously owned by the participant) to us to satisfy federal, state or local tax obligations.

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.   The Committee will administer and interpret the Stock Incentive Plan and all award agreements in a manner consistent with the intent to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder to a holder of an award. If any provision of the Stock Incentive Plan or any award agreement would result in such adverse consequences, the Committee may amend that provision or take other necessary action to avoid any adverse tax results, and no such action will be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an award under the Stock Incentive Plan.

New Plan Benefits

No awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan prior to the date of the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders have been made subject to stockholder approval of the Stock Plan Amendment. The number and types of awards that will be granted in the future under the Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, are not determinable, as the Committee will make these determinations in its sole discretion. Accordingly, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received by eligible participants if the Stock Incentive Plan is approved by our stockholders. The closing price of a share of our common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July 14, 2017 was $4.22.

HOUSEHOLDING

The rules promulgated by the SEC permit companies, brokers, banks or other intermediaries to deliver a single copy of our proxy materials to households at which two or more stockholders reside (“Householding”). Stockholders sharing an address who have been previously notified by their broker, bank or other intermediary and have consented to Householding, either affirmatively or implicitly by not objecting to Householding, received only one copy of our proxy materials. A stockholder who wishes to participate in Householding in the future must contact his or her broker, bank or other intermediary directly to make such request. Alternatively, a stockholder who wishes to revoke his or her consent to Householding and receive separate proxy materials for each stockholder sharing the same address must contact his or her broker, bank or other intermediary to revoke such consent.

TENTH:

A.

The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the Board of Directors consisting of not less than three directors nor more than sixteen directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors shall be divided, with respect to the terms for which they severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, as determined by the Board of Directors, with the term of office of the first class to expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 1997, the term of office of the second class to expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 1998, and the term of office of the third class to expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 1999 with each class of directors to hold office until their successors are duly elected and have qualified. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders following such initial classification and election, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire at such annual meeting, other than those directors elected under particular circumstances by a separate class vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over the common stock of the Corporation as to dividends or upon liquidation of the Corporation, shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors are duly elected and have qualified. When the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or any decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, as determined by the Board of Directors. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. The provisions of this Paragraph are subject to the provisions of Paragraph D of this Article.

B.

Except as may be provided in the terms of any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over the common stock of the Corporation as to dividends or upon liquidation of the Corporation relating to the rights of the holders of such class or series to elect, by separate class vote, additional directors, no member of the Board of Directors may be removed from office except for cause.

C.

Subject to the provisions of Paragraph D of this Article TENTH, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors of the Corporation and vacancies occurring in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, removal, or any other reason shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors, although less than a quorum, then remaining in office and elected by the holders of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or, in the event that there is only one such director, by such sole remaining director. Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

D.

In the event that the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation of the Corporation are entitled, by a separate class vote, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of such class or series, then the provisions of such class or series with respect to such rights of election shall apply to the election of such directors. The number of directors that may be elected by holders of any such class or series of stock shall be in addition to the number fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Article TENTH. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the terms of such class or series, the number of directors that may be so elected by the holders of any such class or series of stock shall be elected for terms expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and without regard to the classification of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, and vacancies among directors so elected by the separate class vote of any such class or series of stock shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors elected by such class or series, or, if there are no such remaining directors, by the holders of such class or series in the same manner in which such class or series initially elected a

A-1-4

director. If at any meeting for the election of directors, more than one class of stock, voting separately as classes, shall be entitled to elect one or more directors and there shall be a quorum of only one such class of stock, that class of stock shall be entitled to elect its quota of directors notwithstanding absence of a quorum of the other class or classes of stock.

E.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage may be specified by law), the provisions of this Article TENTH may not be amended or repealed unless such action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for purposes of this Article as a single class.

ELEVENTH:

Subject to any limitations imposed by this Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have power to adopt, amend, or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any Bylaws made by the directors under the powers conferred hereby may be amended or repealed by the directors or by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of this Corporation (and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage may be specified by law), no provisions of the Bylaws shall be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders without an affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for the purposes of this Article as a single class.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Corporation (and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage may be specified by law), the provisions of this Article ELEVENTH may not be amended or repealed unless such action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for purposes of this Article as a single class.

TWELFTH:

No action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, and the power of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of an action is specifically denied.

THIRTEENTH:

The liability of the Corporation’s directors to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director shall be eliminated to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any repeal or modification of this Article THIRTEENTH by the stockholders of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

A.

The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the Board of Directors consisting of not less than three directors nor more than sixteen directors, the exact number of directors to be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders following such initial classification and election, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire at such annual meeting, other than those directors elected under particular circumstances by a separate class vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over the common stock of the Corporation as to dividends or upon liquidation of the Corporation, shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in the third year following the year of their election and until their successors are duly elected and have qualified. When the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or any decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number of directors as possible, as determined by the Board of Directors. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

D.

In the event that the holders of any class or series of stock of the Corporation having a preference over the common stock as to dividends or upon liquidation of the Corporation are entitled, by a separate class vote, to elect directors pursuant to the terms of such class or series, then the provisions of such class or series with respect to such rights of election shall apply to the election of such directors. The number of directors that may be elected by holders of any such class or series of stock shall be in addition to the number fixed by the Board of Directors pursuant to this Article TENTH. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the terms of such class or series, the number of directors that may be so elected by the holders of any such class or series of stock shall be elected for terms expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and without regard to the classification of the remaining members of the Board of Directors, and vacancies among directors so elected by the separate class vote of any such class or series of stock shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors elected by such class or series, or, if there are no such remaining directors, by the holders of such class or series in the same manner in which such class or series initially elected a director. If at any meeting for the election of directors, more than one class of stock, voting separately as classes, shall be entitled to elect one or more directors and there shall be a quorum of only one such class of stock, that class of stock shall be entitled to elect its quota of directors notwithstanding absence of a quorum of the other class or classes of stock.

Any Bylaws made by the directors under the powers conferred hereby may be amended or repealed by the directors or by the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of this Corporation (and notwithstanding that a lesser percentage may be specified by law), no provisions of the Bylaws shall be adopted, amended or repealed by the stockholders without an affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, considered for the purposes of this Article as a single class.

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and to applicable law, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant under the Plan; (iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by (or the method by which payments or other rights are to be calculated in connection with) each Award; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement, including any terms relating to the forfeiture of any Award and the forfeiture, recapture or disgorgement of any cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to any Award; (v) amend the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement, provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c) hereof, the Committee shall not reprice, adjust or amend the exercise price of Options or the grant price of Stock Appreciation Rights previously awarded to any Participant, whether through amendment, cancellation and exchange for cash or another Award, a replacement grant, or any other means; (vi) accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any Award (but only in situations involving the death or disability of the applicable Participant or in connection with a Change in Control); (vii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be exercised in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited or suspended; (viii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder of the Award or the Committee; (ix) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement, including any Award Agreement, relating to the Plan; (x) establish, amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan; and (xii) adopt such modifications, rules, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company or an Affiliate may operate, including, without limitation, establishing any special rules for Affiliates, Eligible Persons or Participants located in any particular country, in order to meet the objectives of the Plan and to ensure the viability of the intended benefits of Awards granted to Participants located in such non-United States jurisdictions. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award or Award

B-4

Agreement shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award or Award Agreement, and any employee of the Company or any Affiliate.

(b)

Delegation.   The Committee may delegate its powers and duties under the Plan to one or more Directors (including a Director who is also an officer of the Company) or a committee of Directors, subject to such terms, conditions and limitations as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Committee shall not delegate its powers and duties under the Plan (i) with regard to officers or directors of the Company or any Affiliate who are subject to of the Exchange Act or (ii) in such a manner as would cause the Plan not to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m). In addition, the Committee may authorize one or more officers of the Company to grant Options under the Plan, subject to the limitations of Section 157 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; provided, however, that such officers shall not be authorized to grant Options to officers or directors of the Company or any Affiliate who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

(c)

Power and Authority of the Board of Directors.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan, unless the exercise of such powers and duties by the Board would cause the Plan not to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m).

Section 4.

Shares Available for Awards.

(a)

Shares Available.   Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall be 734,300 934,300 (as adjusted to reflect a 1:10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, effective February 21, 2017). Shares to be issued under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares, treasury shares or Shares acquired in the open market or otherwise. If an Award terminates or is forfeited or cancelled without the issuance of any Shares, or if any Shares covered by an Award or to which an Award relates are not issued for any other reason, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such termination, forfeiture, cancellation or other event, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. If Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited or otherwise reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, whether or not dividends have been paid on such Shares, then the number of Shares counted against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award of Restricted Stock, to the extent of any such forfeiture or reacquisition by the Company, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. Shares that are withheld in full or partial payment to the Company of the purchase or exercise price relating to an Award or in connection with the satisfaction of tax obligations relating to an Award shall not be available for granting Awards under the Plan.

(b)

Accounting for Awards.   For purposes of this Section 4, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan. For Stock Appreciation Rights settled in Shares upon exercise, the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, rather than the number of Shares actually issued upon exercise, shall be counted against the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. Awards that do not entitle the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares and Awards that are settled in cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan.

(c)

Adjustments.   In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of  (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other

B-5

property) that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the purchase or exercise price with respect to any Award and (iv) the limitations contained in Section 4(d) of the Plan.

(d)

Award Limitations Under the Plan.

(i)

Section 162(m) Limitation for Certain Types of Awards.   No Eligible Person may be granted Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or any other Award or Awards under the Plan, the value of which Award or Awards is based solely on an increase in the value of the Shares after the date of grant of such Award or Awards, for more than 50,000 Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of the Plan, and as adjusted to reflect a 1:10 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, effective February 21, 2017) in the aggregate in any calendar year.

(ii)

Section 162(m) Limitation for Performance Awards.   The maximum amount payable to any Participant that may be a “covered person” within the meaning of Section 162(m) pursuant to all Performance Awards which are intended to represent “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) in the aggregate in any calendar year shall be $2,000,000 in value, whether payable in cash, Shares or other property. This limitation does not apply to any Award subject to the limitation contained in Section 4(d)(i) of the Plan.

Section 5.

Eligibility.

Any Eligible Person shall be eligible to be designated a Participant. In determining which Eligible Persons shall receive an Award and the terms of any Award, the Committee may take into account the nature of the services rendered by the respective Eligible Persons, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company or such other factors as the Committee, in its discretion, shall deem relevant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may only be granted to full-time or part-time employees (which term as used herein includes, without limitation, officers and Directors who are also employees), and an Incentive Stock Option shall not be granted to an employee of an Affiliate unless such Affiliate is also a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code or any successor provision. Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be granted to an Eligible Person providing direct services to an Affiliate unless the Company has a “controlling interest” in such Affiliate within the meaning of Treas.

(b)

Stock Appreciation Rights.   The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of  (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine, at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise) over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.

(c)

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.   The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Persons with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine:

(i)

Restrictions.   Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The minimum vesting period of such Awards shall be one year from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may (i) permit acceleration of vesting of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units in the event of the Participant’s death or disability or a Change in Control of the Company; and (ii) grant Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that do not adhere to the one-year minimum restriction period requirement, or otherwise may waive the vesting requirements, with respect to up to the number of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units that equals 5% in the aggregate (taking into account all such Awards, whether vested or unvested, as determined in accordance with Section 4(a) of the Plan) of the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan, as amended and restated as of April 26, 2016.June 13, 2017.

(ii)

Issuance and Delivery of Shares.   Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted and may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Shares representing Restricted Stock that is no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered to the Participant promptly after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived. In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted Stock Units evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units.

B-7

(iii)

Forfeiture.   Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon a Participant’s termination of employment or resignation or removal as a Director (in either case, as determined under criteria established by the Committee) during the applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock and all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at such time shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interest of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units.

(d)

Dividend Equivalents.   The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons under which the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee) equivalent to the amount of cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of Shares with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to Eligible Persons in connection with grants of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to such Eligible Persons.

(e)

Performance Awards.   The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Performance Awards to Eligible Persons subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Performance Award granted under the Plan (i) may be denominated or payable in cash, Shares (including, without limitation, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units), other securities, other Awards or other property and (ii) shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive payments, in whole or in part, upon the achievement of one or more performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award granted, the amount of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award and any other terms and conditions of any Performance Award shall be determined by the Committee. Performance Awards that are granted to Eligible Persons who may be “covered employees” under Section 162(m) and that are intended to be “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162 (m), to the extent required by Section 162(m), shall be conditioned solely on the achievement of one or more objective Performance Goals established by the Committee within the time prescribed by Section 162(m), and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 162(m).

(f)

Other Stock-Based Awards.   The Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Eligible Persons such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, subject to the terms of the Plan and the Award Agreement. Shares, or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 6(g), shall be purchased for consideration having a value equal to at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares or other securities on the date the purchase right is granted.

(v)

Limits on Transfer of Awards.   Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6(h)(v), no Award and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. The Committee may establish procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a Person or Persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect to any Award in the event of the Participant’s death. The Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it determines, may permit a Participant to transfer a Non-Qualified Stock Option to any “family member” (as such term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor to such Instructions or such Form) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) at any time that such Participant holds such Option, provided that such transfers may not be for value (i.e., the transferor may not receive any consideration therefor) and the family member may not make any subsequent transfers other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Each Award under the Plan or right under any such Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant (except as provided herein or in an Award Agreement or amendment thereto relating to a Non-Qualified Stock Option) or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. No Award or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate.

(vi)

Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing.   All Shares or other securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made or legends to be placed on the certificates for such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions. If the Shares or other securities are traded on a securities exchange, the Company shall not be required to deliver any Shares or other securities covered by an Award unless and until such Shares or other securities have been admitted for trading on such securities exchange.

(vii)

Section 409A Provisions.   Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that constitutes “deferred compensation” to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or distributable to a Participant under the Plan or any Award Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant’s disability or “separation from service” (as such term is defined under Section 409A), such amount or benefit will not be payable or distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance

B-9

unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, disability or separation from service meet the definition of a change in ownership or control, disability or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable proposed or final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. Any payment or distribution that otherwise would be made to a Participant who is a Specified Employee (as determined by the Committee in good faith) on account of separation from service may not be made before the date which is 6 months after the date of the Specified Employee’s separation from service (or if earlier, upon the Specified Employee’s death) unless the payment or distribution is exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise.

(viii)

Change in Control.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Awards shall be subject to Section 9 of the Plan.

Section 7.

Amendment and Termination; Corrections.

(a)

Amendments to the Plan.   The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, prior approval of the stockholders of the Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan that:

(i)

requires stockholder approval under the rules or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC or any other securities exchange that are applicable to the Company;

(ii)

increases the number of shares authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 4(a) of the Plan;

(iii)

increases the number of shares subject to the limitations contained in Sections 4(d)(i), (iii) and (iv) of the Plan or the dollar amount subject to the limitation contained in Section 4(d)(ii) of the Plan;

(iv)

permits repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which is prohibited by Section 3(a)(v) of the Plan;

(v)

permits the award of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights at a price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, contrary to the provisions of Sections 6(a)(i) and 6(b) (ii) of the Plan; and

(vi)

would cause Section 162(m) to become unavailable with respect to the Plan.

(b)

Amendments to Awards.   Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such action may adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award without the consent of the Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof. The Company intends that Awards under the Plan shall satisfy the requirements of Section 409A to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder, and the Committee shall administer and interpret the Plan and all Award Agreements in a manner consistent with that intent. If any provision of the Plan or an Award Agreement would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, the Committee may amend that provision (or take any other action reasonably necessary) to avoid any adverse tax results and no action taken to comply with Section 409A shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof.

(c)

Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.   The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness of the Plan.

B-10

Section 8.

Income Tax Withholding.

In order to comply with all applicable federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state, local or foreign payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the sole and absolute responsibility of a Participant, are withheld or collected from such Participant. In order to assist a Participant in paying all or a portion of the applicable taxes to be withheld or collected upon exercise or receipt of  (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) an Award, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it may adopt, may permit the Participant to satisfy such tax obligation by (a) electing to have the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered upon exercise or receipt of  (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes or (b) delivering to the Company Shares other than Shares issuable upon exercise or receipt of  (or the lapse of restrictions relating to) such Award with a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The election, if any, must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined.

Section 9.

Treatment of Awards Upon a Change in Control.

The provisions of this Section 9 shall apply in the case of a Change in Control, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, the operative transaction agreements related to the Change in Control or any separate agreement with a Participant governing an Award.

(a)

Awards Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity.   With respect to Awards assumed by a Surviving Entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, if within two years after the effective date of the Change in Control, a Participant’s employment or service is terminated due to a Qualifying Termination, then:

(i)

all of the Participant’s outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, Awards equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control) pursuant to which the Participant may have exercise rights shall become fully exercisable as of the date of such Qualifying Termination, and shall thereafter remain exercisable until the earlier of  (1) the expiration of the original term of the Award and (2) the later of  (i) ninety (90) days from the date of the Qualifying Termination and (ii) such longer period provided by the applicable Award Agreement;

(ii)

all time-based vesting restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse as of the date of the Qualifying Termination, and shall be settled or paid in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement; and

(iii)

all performance goals and other conditions to payment of the Participant’s outstanding Performance Awards shall be deemed to be achieved or fulfilled (A) at the actual performance level, as determined under the applicable Award Agreement, or (B) in respect of a prorated amount (based on the number of days elapsed in the performance period) of such Performance Awards at the target level of achievement, whichever is greater, and, in either case, payment of such Performance Awards as deemed to be so achieved or fulfilled shall be made or otherwise settled within thirty (30) days following the Qualifying Termination. The determination of achievement of performance goals and/or other conditions at actual performance shall be made by the Committee (or its designee) in its discretion, as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of the Qualifying Termination.

To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(b)

Awards not Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity.   Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, and except with respect to any Awards assumed by the Surviving Entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board:

(i)

all outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and other outstanding Awards pursuant to which Participants may have exercise rights shall become fully exercisable as of the time of the Change in Control, and shall thereafter remain exercisable for a period of ninety (90) days or until the earlier expiration of the original term of the Award;

B-11

(ii)

all time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse as of the time of the Change in Control; and

(iii)

all performance criteria and other conditions to payment of outstanding Performance Awards shall be deemed to be achieved or fulfilled (A) as measured by the Committee (or its designee) in its discretion at the actual performance level achieved as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control (or as of the effective time of the Change in Control, in the case of Performance Awards in which the performance condition is measured by stock price or total shareholder return), or (B) in respect of a prorated amount (based on the number of days elapsed in the performance period) of such Performance Awards at the target level of achievement, whichever is greater, and, in either case, payment of such Performance Awards as deemed to be so achieved or fulfilled shall be made or otherwise settled within thirty (30) days after the date of the Change in Control; provided, however, that if such Awards constitute deferred compensation under Section 409A, the Awards shall vest on the basis described above but shall remain payable on the date(s) specified in the underlying Award Agreements.

To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options.

Section 10.

General Provisions.

(a)

No Rights to Awards.   No Eligible Person, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Persons, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different Participants.

(b)

Award Agreements.   No Participant shall have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant, or until such Award Agreement is delivered and accepted through any electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company.

(c)

No Rights of Stockholders.   Except with respect to Restricted Stock and Stock Awards, neither a Participant nor the Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise or payment of any Award, in whole or in part, unless and until the Shares have been issued.

(d)

No Limit on Other Compensation Plans or Arrangements.   Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or arrangements, and such plans or arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

(e)

No Right to Employment or Directorship.   The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliate, or a Director to be retained as a Director, nor will it affect in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate a Participant’s employment at any time, with or without cause. In addition, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment free from any liability or any claim under the Plan or any Award, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.
