Committees of the Board

The Board of Directors currently has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each member of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees is an independent director as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors currently consists of Mr. Hutcherson (Chairperson), Mr. Caruso, Mr. Maloney and Dr. Waylan, and reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including the selection of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent registered public accounting firm, the performance of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm and the accounting practices of the Company. The Audit Committee also serves as the Board of Directors Qualified Legal Compliance Committee within the meaning of Section 307 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Hutcherson is qualified as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors currently consists of Mr. Caruso (Chairperson), Mr. Maloney, Mr. Shaw and Dr. Waylan, and determines the salaries and incentive compensation of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Compensation Committee also administers various incentive compensation, stock and benefit plans, including awards to directors.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which currently consists of Mr. Maloney (Chairperson), Mr. Caruso, Mr. Shaw and Dr. Waylan, is responsible for searching for and recommending to the Board of Directors potential nominees for director positions, making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the size and composition of the Board of Directors and its committees, monitoring the Board's effectiveness and developing and implementing the Company's corporate governance procedures and policies.

In selecting candidates for the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee begins by determining whether the incumbent directors whose terms expire at the annual meeting of stockholders desire and are qualified to continue their service on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is of the view that the continuing service of qualified incumbents promotes stability and continuity in the boardroom, giving the Company the benefit of the familiarity and insight into the Company's affairs that its directors have accumulated during their tenure, while contributing to the Board of Director's ability to work as a collective body. Accordingly, it is the policy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, absent special circumstances, to nominate qualified incumbent directors who continue to satisfy the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's criteria for membership on the Board of Directors, whom the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes will continue to make important contributions to the Board of Directors and who consent to stand for re-election and, if re-elected, to continue their service on the Board of Directors.

If there are positions on the Board of Directors for which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will not be re-nominating an incumbent director, or if there is a vacancy on the Board of Directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will solicit recommendations for nominees from persons whom the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes are

likely to be familiar with qualified candidates, including members of the Board of Directors and senior management of the Company. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also engage a search firm to assist in the identification of qualified candidates.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will review and evaluate each candidate whom it believes merits serious consideration, taking into account all available information concerning the candidate, the existing composition and mix of talent and expertise on the Board of Directors and other factors that it deems relevant. In conducting its review and evaluation, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit the views of management and other members of the Board of Directors and may, if deemed helpful, conduct interviews of proposed candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee requires that all candidates for the Board of Directors be of the highest personal and professional integrity and have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider whether such candidate will be effective, in conjunction with the other members of the Board of Directors, in collectively serving the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee requires that all candidates have no interests that materially conflict with those of the Company and its stockholders, have meaningful management, advisory or policy making experience, have a general appreciation of the major business issues facing the Company and have adequate time to devote to service on the Board of Directors. The Company also requires that a majority of its directors be independent; at least three of the directors have the financial literacy necessary for service on the Audit Committee and at least one of these directors qualifies as a financial expert in accordance with Nasdaq rules.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for candidates for the Board of Directors if such recommendations are received in writing by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by the due date for stockholder proposals as indicated in the Company's proxy statement for the previous fiscal year. Such candidates will be considered using the same criteria as for other candidates, except that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider, as one of the factors in its evaluation of stockholder recommended candidates, the size and duration of the interest of the recommending stockholder or stockholder group in the equity of the Company. A stockholder seeking to recommend a prospective nominee for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee's consideration should submit the candidate's name and qualifications in writing to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the following address: Globecomm Systems Inc., 45 Oser Avenue, Hauppauge, NY 11788, Attention: Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings

During fiscal 2005, the Board of Directors held four regular meetings. There were twelve meetings of the Audit Committee, four meetings of the Compensation Committee, three meetings of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and one meeting of the non-employee directors during fiscal 2005.

To access, choose the Investor tab, then select Governance from the drop down list under General Information.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under the requirements of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company's directors, executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of the Common Stock are required to report their ownership of the Common Stock and any changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), and the Nasdaq National Market Surveillance Department. Specific due dates for these reports have been established by the Commission and the Company is required to report in this Proxy Statement any failure to file by these dates during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. The Company believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, all filing requirements under Section 16(a) applicable to its officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were complied with on a timely basis.

Compensation of Directors

All non-employee directors of the Company receive an annual fee of $20,000 for their service on the Board of Directors, and $1,500 annually per committee on which they serve. Each member of the Audit Committee receives an additional $5,000 annually for service on the Audit Committee, except that the

Chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional $10,000 annually. These directors are also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings. Directors who are also employees of the Company do not receive any cash compensation for their service as directors.

During fiscal 2005, Mr. Caruso, Mr. Hutcherson, Mr. Maloney, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Towbin and Dr. Waylan were each granted an option to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock for their service on the Board pursuant to the Automatic Option Grant Program of the Company's Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "1997 Plan").

When granted each option grant became exercisable in four equal annual installments commencing one year after the date of the option grant. On May 11, 2005, in response to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123, "Share-Based Payment (revised 2004)" ("FAS 123R"), the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an acceleration of all unvested options granted to employees and directors under the Company's 1997 Plan. In order to prevent unintended personal benefit to directors and executive officers, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, imposed restrictions on any shares received through the exercise of accelerated options held by those individuals. These restrictions prevent their sale of stock obtained through exercise of an accelerated option prior to the earlier of the original vesting date or the individual's termination of employment or service on the Board of Directors.


(2)	Based on options to purchase an aggregate of 206,050 shares of Common Stock granted to employees in fiscal 2005, including options granted to the Named Executive Officers.


(3)	The exercise price may be paid in one or more of the following forms: (i) cash or check made payable to the Company, (ii) shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at fair market value on the date of exercise or (iii) through a special sale and remittance procedure through a broker.


(4)	Amounts represent hypothetical gains that could be achieved for the respective options at the end of the ten-year option term. The assumed 5% and 10% rates of stock appreciation are mandated by rules of the Commission and do not represent the Company's estimate of the future market price of the Common Stock.

(2)

On May 11, 2005, in response to FAS 123R, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an acceleration of all unvested options granted to employees and directors under the Company's 1997 Plan. In order to prevent unintended personal benefit to directors and executive officers, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, imposed restrictions on any shares received through the exercise of accelerated options held by those individuals. These restrictions prevent their sale of stock obtained through exercise of an accelerated option prior to the earlier of the original vesting date or the individual's termination of employment or service on the Board of Directors.

Employment Contracts and Change of Control Arrangements

In October 2001, the Company entered into employment agreements (the "Executive Agreements") with each of Messrs. Hershberg, Miller, Melfi, Yablonski and Johnson (each, an "Executive"). The Executive Agreements continue from year to year, unless terminated earlier by either party by written notice of termination given to the other party. Each Executive Agreement entitles the Executive to all employee benefits generally made available to executive officers.

Under the Executive Agreements between the Company and each of Messrs. Hershberg, Miller, Melfi, Yablonski and Johnson, the Company is currently required to compensate Messrs. Hershberg, Miller, Melfi, Yablonski and Johnson an annual base salary of $350,000, $271,000, $200,000, $198,000 and $170,000, respectively (which amounts are reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and subject to increase at the Board's discretion). The Executives may also receive discretionary bonuses. Messrs. Hershberg, Miller, Melfi, Yablonski and Johnson are required to devote their full-time efforts to the Company as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, President, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President Sales, Marketing and Product Development and Senior Vice President, Customer Relations and Contracts, respectively. If the Company terminates any of the Executive Agreements, other than for disability or cause, or if any Executive terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined in each Executive Agreement), the Company will have the following obligations: (i) to continue to pay the Executive his then applicable annual base salary for a two-year period commencing upon the effective date of the termination (the "Severance Period"); provided, however, that the Severance Period for Messrs. Hershberg and Miller shall be a three-year

period commencing on the effective date of the termination; (ii) to pay for continued health benefits during the Severance Period; and (iii) to pay the cash value of certain other benefits during the Severance Period.

If the Executive does not provide the Company notice of resignation and remains employed by the Company through the one-year anniversary of a Change in Control, as defined in the 1997 Plan, the Executive shall be paid a one-time bonus payment equal to 300%, in the cases of Messrs. Hershberg and Miller, and 200%, in the cases of Messrs. Melfi, Yablonski and Johnson, of his then applicable annual base salary (the "Retention Bonus"); provided that the Executive must execute and deliver to the Company a general release as a condition of receiving the Retention Bonus. If an Executive gives notice of his resignation for Good Reason within one year after a Change in Control, and the Company requests that the Executive continue his employment until a date no later than the first anniversary of the Change in Control, then the Executive shall receive the severance payments and benefits described above only if he continues his employment until that date.

The 1997 Plan provides for the accelerated vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options held by any executive officer or the shares of Common Stock subject to direct issuances held by any such individual, in connection with certain changes in control of the Company or the subsequent termination of the executive officer's employment following the change in control.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or "filed" or incorporated by reference in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing the base salary and incentive cash bonus programs for the Company's executive officers and directors and administering certain other compensation programs for such individuals, subject in each instance to review by the full Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee also is responsible for the administration of the 1997 Plan under which grants may be made to executive officers and directors. The Board of Directors has reviewed the report of the Compensation Committee, and is in accord with the compensation paid to executive officers in fiscal 2005.

General Compensation Policy. The fundamental policy of the Compensation Committee is to provide the Company's executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities based upon their contribution to the development and financial success of the Company and their personal performance. It is the Compensation Committee's objective to have a portion of each executive officer's compensation contingent upon the Company's performance, as well as upon his own level of performance. Accordingly, the compensation package for each executive officer is comprised of two elements: (i) base salary and bonus which reflects individual performance and is designed primarily to be competitive with salary levels in the industry and (ii) long-term stock-based incentive awards which strengthen the mutuality of interests between the executive officers and the Company's stockholders.

Factors. The principal factors that the Compensation Committee considered in ratifying the components of each executive officer's compensation package for fiscal 2005 are summarized below. The Compensation Committee may, however, in its discretion apply entirely different factors in setting executive compensation for future years.

•

Base Salary. Any increase in base salary for each executive officer beyond that provided in his respective Executive Agreement is determined on the basis of the following factors: experience; personal performance; the salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and outside the industry; and internal base salary comparability considerations. The weight given to each of these factors differs from individual to individual, as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate.

•

Bonus. The Compensation Committee may authorize cash bonuses if such bonuses are deemed to be in the best interest of the Company. For fiscal 2005, the Committee established a Management Incentive Plan (the "Plan") under which bonuses would be awarded to executive officers upon the Company achieving certain predetermined goals. The bonus awards were made to executive officers based upon the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, while the Compensation Committee determined the level of the Chief Executive Officer's bonus under the Plan.

•

Long-Term Incentive Compensation. In fiscal 2005, long-term incentives were provided through stock option grants. The grants were designed to align the interests of each executive officer with those of the stockholders and provide each individual with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in the Company. Each grant allowed the individual to acquire shares of the Company's Common Stock at a fixed price per share over a specified period of time (up to 10 years). For fiscal 2006 and thereafter, the Company is reconsidering granting stock options as long-term incentive compensation in light of FAS 123R.

The number of shares subject to each option grant has been set at a level intended to create a meaningful opportunity for stock ownership based on the officer's current position with the Company, the base salary associated with that position, the size of comparable awards made to individuals in similar positions within the industry, the individual's potential for increased responsibility and promotion over the option term and the individual's performance in recent periods. However, the Compensation Committee has not adhered to any specific guidelines as to the relative option holdings of the Company's executive officers. There were stock options granted to executive officers in fiscal 2005 to purchase an aggregate of 65,000 shares of Common Stock. On May 11, 2005, in response to FAS 123R, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an acceleration of all unvested options granted to employees and directors under the Company's 1997 Plan. In order to prevent unintended personal benefit to directors and executive officers, the Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, imposed restrictions on any shares received through the exercise of accelerated options held by those individuals. These restrictions prevent their sale of stock obtained through exercise of an accelerated option prior to the earlier of the original vesting date or the individual's termination of employment or service on the Board of Directors.

CEO Compensation. In setting the compensation payable to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee seeks to achieve two objectives: (i) establish a level of base salary, within the parameters of his Executive Agreement, competitive with that paid by companies within the industry which are of comparable size to the Company and by companies outside of the industry with which the Company competes for executive talent, and (ii) make a significant percentage of the total compensation package contingent upon the Company's performance and stock price appreciation, pursuant to the terms of Mr. Hershberg's Executive Agreement. In fiscal 2005, as part of his compensation, Mr. Hershberg received a $43,750 bonus, pursuant to the Company's Management Incentive Plan, and an option to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock under the 1997 plan as a long-term stock-based incentive award at an exercise price of $6.51 per share.

Director Compensation. The Compensation Committee reviewed the current level of compensation for non-employee members of the Board and considered it to be consistent with that provided to non-employee directors of technology-related companies of similar size.

Director Option Grant Policy. As plan administrator of the 1997 Plan, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, grant options from time to time to non-employee members of the Board under the Discretionary Option Grant component of the 1997 Plan, in addition to the automatic option grants provided in the 1997 Plan. The basis for such grants is the Compensation Committee's assessment of each Board member's specific contributions to the Company during the course of the year. The circumstances and amounts of such grants may vary based on the Compensation Committee's assessment. During fiscal 2005, no discretionary options were granted to non-employee directors.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax deduction to publicly held companies for compensation exceeding $1.0 million paid to certain of the corporation's executive officers. The limitation applies only to compensation, which is not considered to be performance-based. The non-performance based compensation paid to the Company's executive officers for the 2005 fiscal year did not exceed the $1.0 million limit per officer, nor is it expected that the non-performance based compensation to be paid to the Company's executive officers for fiscal 2006 will exceed that limit. The 1997 Plan is structured so that any compensation deemed paid to an executive officer in connection with the exercise of option grants made under that plan with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date will qualify as performance-based compensation which will not be subject to the $1.0 million limitation. Because it is very unlikely that the cash compensation payable to any of the Company's executive officers

in the foreseeable future will approach the $1.0 million limit, the Compensation Committee has decided at this time not to take any other action to limit or restructure the elements of cash compensation payable to the Company's executive officers. The Compensation Committee will reconsider this decision should the individual compensation of any executive officer ever approach the $1.0 million level.
