PROXY STATEMENT

2019 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON MAY 15, 2019

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

Q:Why am I being asked to review these materials?
A:Select Interior Concepts, Inc., also referred to herein as “SIC,” the “Company,” or “we” is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) for use at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Annual Meeting will take place at the offices of Alston & Bird LLP, located at Suite 4900, 1201 West Peachtree Street, Atlanta, Georgia 30309, at 10:00 a.m., local time on Wednesday, May 15, 2019. Stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.
Q:What information is contained in these materials?
A:The information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, the compensation of certain of our most highly paid executive officers and our directors, and certain other required information. Our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, is also being furnished with this proxy statement.
Q:What does it mean if I received more than one proxy or voting instruction form?
A:It means your shares are registered differently or are in more than one account. Please provide voting instructions for each proxy you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Q:What matters will the Company’s stockholders vote on at the Annual Meeting?
A:There are three proposals to be considered and voted on at the meeting. The proposals to be voted on are as follows:

Proposal 1— To elect six directors, each to hold office for a one-year term ending on the date of the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified;

Proposal 2 – To approve the Select Interior Concepts, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Incentive Plan”); and

Proposal 3—To ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019.

For a more detailed discussion of each of these proposals, please see the information included elsewhere in the proxy statement relating to these proposals.

Q:What are the Board’s voting recommendations?
A:The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares as follows:
“FOR” the election of each of the six nominees to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1);
“FOR” the approval of the 2019 Incentive Plan (Proposal 2); and
“FOR” the approval and ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If you give us your signed proxy but do not specify how to vote, we will vote your shares “FOR” each of the above proposals.

We are not aware of any matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than those described in the Notice of Meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting for consideration, the person named on your proxy will have the discretion to vote your shares according to our best judgment.

Q:Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
A:Each share of our Class A common stock outstanding as of the close of business on March 25, 2019, the record date, is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 25,839,670 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. These shares include shares that are (a) held of record directly in your name, including shares received through equity incentive plans, and (b) held for you in street name through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee. On each proposal presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting, each stockholder is entitled to one vote per share of our Class A common stock held as of the record date.
Q:What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a stockholder who holds stock in street name?
A:If your shares are registered in your name, you are a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy on the proxy card included with these materials.

If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, these shares are held in street name. As the beneficial owner of these shares, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. Since you are not the stockholder of record, you must request and receive a valid proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee of record in order to vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting.

Q:If I hold my shares in street name through my broker, will my broker vote these shares for me?
A:If you provide instructions on how to vote by following the instructions provided to you by your broker, your broker will vote your shares as you have instructed. If you do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your broker will vote your shares only if the proposal is a “routine” management proposal on which your broker has discretion to vote. On matters considered “non-routine,” brokers may not vote shares without your instruction. Shares that brokers are not authorized to vote are referred to as “broker non-votes.”

Under NASDAQ Stock Market Business Conduct Rules, to which your broker is subject, brokers are prohibited from voting uninstructed shares for elections of directors and the compensation of our named executive officers, in which case a broker non-vote will occur and your shares will not be voted on these matters.

Q:What are the quorum requirements for the meeting?
A:The presence of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock in person or by proxy constitutes a quorum for the meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Q:What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
A:Pursuant to our Bylaws, the director candidates who receive the most votes will be elected to fill the available seats on our Board of Directors, which this year is six seats. That means the six directors with the greatest number of votes will be elected. Because none of abstentions, failures to vote or broker non-votes are counted as “cast” votes, none will have any effect on the outcome of the proposal.

The proposal to approve the 2019 Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting interest of the SIC stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and on the proposal. Broker non-votes will not be included in vote totals and, as such, will have no effect on such proposals. Failures to vote are not considered present at the Annual Meeting, and therefore they will have no effect on the

2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

outcome of the proposal. Abstentions are considered voting power present at the Annual Meeting and thus will have the same effect as votes against each of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting (other than the election of directors), including the vote to approve the 2019 Incentive Plan and the vote to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP.

The proposal to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority in voting interest of the SIC stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and on the proposal. Brokers may vote your shares on this proposal without instruction, and therefore there will be no broker non-votes for this proposal. Failures to vote are not considered present at the Annual Meeting, and therefore they will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

Q:What do I need to do now to vote at the meeting?
A:Stockholders of record may vote their shares in any of four ways:
Submitting a Proxy by Mail: If you choose to submit your proxy by mail, simply mark your proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided;
Submitting a Proxy by Telephone: Submit a proxy for your shares by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 14, 2019 by telephone by using the toll-free telephone number provided on your proxy card. Telephone voting is available 24 hours a day;
Submitting a Proxy by Internet: Submit your proxy via the internet. The website for internet proxy voting is on your proxy card. Internet proxy voting is also available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on May 14, 2019; or
Voting in Person: If you were registered as a stockholder on our books on March 25, 2019 or if you have a letter from your broker identifying you as a beneficial owner of our shares as of that date and granting you a legal proxy, you may vote in person by attending the 2019 Annual Meeting.

If you submit a proxy by telephone or via the internet, you should not return your proxy card. Instructions on how to submit a proxy by telephone or via the internet are located on the proxy card enclosed with this proxy statement.

Street name holders may submit a proxy by telephone or the internet, if their bank or broker makes these methods available, in which case the bank or broker will enclose related instructions with this proxy statement. If you hold your shares through a bank or broker, follow the voting instructions you receive from your bank or broker.

Q:Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A:Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the vote at the meeting by:
delivering to Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions a written notice, bearing a date later than the proxy, stating that you revoke the proxy;
submitting a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares by mail, telephone or the internet prior to the vote at the meeting; or
attending the meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

You should send any written notice or a new proxy card to: Select Interior Concepts, Inc. c/o Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, P.O. Box 1342, Brentwood, NY 11717, or follow the instructions provided on your proxy card to submit a proxy by telephone or via the Internet. You may request a new proxy card by calling Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions at 1-800-579-1639.

Q:Will anyone contact me regarding this vote?
A:We have retained Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions to distribute proxy solicitation materials to brokers, banks, and other nominees and to assist in the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders. The fee for this firm’s services is estimated to be $15,000, plus reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, letter, facsimile or in person but will not receive any additional compensation for these services. Following the original mailing of the proxy solicitation materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record holders to forward copies of the proxy statement and related soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares of our Class A common stock and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, upon the request of the record holders, we will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses.

Q:Who has paid for this proxy solicitation?
A:All expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including the printing and mailing of this proxy statement will be borne by the Company.
Q:Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
A:We will announce preliminary voting results at the meeting and publish final detailed voting results on a Form 8-K that we expect to file with the SEC within four business days after the meeting.
Q:May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s annual meeting or nominate individuals to serve as directors?
A:You may submit proposals for consideration at future annual stockholder meetings. In order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for our 2020 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8, your proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary no later than December 6, 2019 (unless the meeting date is changed by more than 30 days from May 15, 2019, in which case a proposal must be a received a reasonable time before we print proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting) and must be submitted in compliance with the rule. Proposals should be directed to our Corporate Secretary, Select Interior Concepts, Inc., 400 Galleria Parkway, Suite 1760, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, and should comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8.

If you want to present a proposal at the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, without including the proposal in the proxy statement, or if you want to nominate one or more directors, you must provide written notice to the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the address above. The Corporate Secretary must receive this notice not earlier than January 16, 2020, and not later than February 15, 2020. However, if the date of the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 70 days from the anniversary date of the 2019 Annual Meeting, then such proposal must be submitted not before the 120th day before such annual meeting and not after the later of the 90th day before such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

Stockholders who wish the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to consider their recommendations for nominees for the position of Director should submit their recommendations in writing by mail to our Corporate Secretary, Select Interior Concepts, Inc., 400 Galleria Parkway, Suite 1760, Atlanta, Georgia 30339.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROPOSAL 2—APPROVAL OF THE 2019 INCENTIVE PLAN

On March 26, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting, the Select Interior Concepts, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2019 Incentive Plan”). The 2019 Incentive Plan will become effective on the date it is approved by our stockholders.

The 2019 Incentive Plan is intended to serve as the successor to the Company’s 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Prior Plan”). As of March 31, 2019, there were approximately 1,852,925 shares of our common stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan and approximately 483,496 shares of our common stock were reserved and available for future awards under the Prior Plan. These shares will continue to be available for award grants under the Prior Plan following the effectiveness of the 2019 Incentive Plan.

The Compensation Committee believes the number of shares available under the Prior Plan will not be sufficient to make the grants it believes will be needed over the next few years to provide adequate long-term equity incentives to our key employees. Approval of the 2019 Incentive Plan will enable the Company to continue making equity compensation grants that serve as incentives to recruit and retain key employees and to continue aligning the interests of its employees with stockholders.

A summary of the 2019 Incentive Plan is set forth below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2019 Incentive Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Promotion of Sound Corporate Governance Practices

We have designed the 2019 Incentive Plan to include a number of features that reinforce and promote alignment of equity compensation arrangements for employees, officers and non-employee directors with the interests of stockholders and the company. These features include, but are not limited to, the following:

No Discounted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). Stock options and SARs may not be granted with exercise prices lower than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date.
Prohibition on Repricing. The exercise price of a stock option or SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of stockholders, including by a cash repurchase of “underwater” awards.
Minimum Vesting Requirements. Subject to certain limited exceptions, awards granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan will be subject to a minimum vesting period of one year.
No Dividends or Dividend Equivalents on Unearned Awards. The 2019 Incentive Plan prohibits the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalent rights on unearned awards.
No Single-Trigger Change in Control Vesting. If awards granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan are assumed by the successor entity in connection with a change in control of the Company, such awards will not automatically vest and pay out upon the change in control.
Awards Subject to Clawback Policy. Awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan will be subject to any compensation recoupment policy that the company may adopt from time to time.
No Tax Gross-Ups. The 2019 Incentive Plan does not provide for any tax gross-ups.

Summary of the 2019 Incentive Plan

Purpose. The purpose of the 2019 Incentive Plan is to promote the interests of the company and its stockholders by strengthening the ability of the company to attract, motivate, reward, and retain qualified individuals upon whose judgment, initiative, and efforts the financial success and growth of the business of the company largely depend, and to provide an opportunity for such individuals to acquire stock ownership and other rights that promote and recognize the financial success and growth of the company.

Administration. The 2019 Incentive Plan will be administered by a committee (the “Committee”) of the Board. The Committee will have the authority to designate participants; determine the type or types of awards to be granted to each participant and the number, terms and conditions thereof; establish, adopt or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem advisable to administer the 2019 Incentive Plan; interpret the terms and intent of the 2019 Incentive Plan and any award certificate; and make all other decisions and determinations that may be required under the 2019 Incentive Plan. Unless and until changed by the Board, the Compensation Committee is designated as the Committee to administer the 2019 Incentive Plan.

Eligibility. The 2019 Incentive Plan permits the grant of incentive awards to employees, officers, non-employee directors, and consultants of the company and its affiliates as selected by the Committee. As of March 31, 2019, approximately 1,464 employees and five non-employee directors would be eligible to participate in the 2019 Incentive Plan.

Permissible Awards. The 2019 Incentive Plan authorizes the granting of awards in any of the following forms:

market-priced stock options to purchase shares of our common stock (for a term not to exceed 10 years), which may be designated under the Code as nonstatutory stock options (which may be granted to all participants) or incentive stock options (which may be granted to officers and employees but not to consultants or non-employee directors);
SARs, which give the holder the right to receive the difference (payable in cash or stock, as specified in the award certificate) between the fair market value per share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the base price of the award (which cannot be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock as of the grant date);
restricted stock, which is subject to restrictions on transferability and subject to forfeiture on terms set by the Committee;

stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of common stock (or an equivalent value in cash, as specified in the award certificate) at a designated time in the future, subject to any vesting requirements as may be set by the Committee;
performance awards, which represent any award of the types listed above which have a performance-vesting component based on the achievement, or the level of achievement, of one or more performance goals during a specified performance period, as established by the Committee;
other stock-based awards that are denominated in, or valued by reference to, shares of our common stock; and
cash-based awards, including performance-based annual bonus awards.

Shares Available for Awards. Subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and similar events, the aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan is 1,700,000. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 Incentive Plan is in addition to the remaining shares available for issuance under the Prior Plan, which, as of the date hereof, was approximately 483,496 shares of common stock.

Share Counting. Shares subject to awards that terminate or expire unexercised, or are cancelled, forfeited or lapse for any reason, and shares underlying awards that are ultimately settled in cash, will again be available for future grants of awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan. To the extent that the full number of shares subject to a full-value award is not issued for any reason, including by reason of failure to achieve maximum performance goals, the unissued shares originally subject to the award will be added back to the plan share reserve. Shares withheld from an award or delivered by a participant to satisfy tax withholding requirements or the exercise price of stock options will again be available for future grants of awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan. For SARs settled in shares, the full number of shares underlying the award (rather than any lesser number based on the net number of shares actually delivered upon exercise) will count against the plan share reserve. The Committee may grant awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan in substitution for awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the company as a result of a business combination, and such substitute awards will not count against the plan share reserve.

Limitations on Awards. The maximum number of shares of common stock subject to stock options or SARs that may be granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan in any calendar year to any one participant is 500,000 each. The maximum number of shares of common stock underlying awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and deferred stock units that may be granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan in any calendar year to any one participant, in the aggregate, is 500,000. The maximum amount that may be paid to any one participant with respect to any calendar year for performance awards granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan is $5,000,000 for performance awards payable in cash and 500,000 shares for performance awards payable in shares. For performance awards with multi-year performance periods, the amount of cash or number of shares deemed paid with respect to any one calendar year is the total amount earned for the performance period divided by the number of calendar year periods within the performance period.

Limitation of Non-Employee Director Compensation. The maximum aggregate number of shares subject to awards that may be granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan to any non-employee director in any calendar year is limited to a number that, combined with any cash meeting fees or cash retainers, does not exceed $400,000 in total value, or $500,000 in total value in the case of a non-employee Chairman of the Board or Lead Director.

Minimum Vesting Requirements. Except in the case of substitute awards granted in a business combination, awards granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan will be subject to a minimum vesting period of one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may grant awards without the minimum vesting requirements described above with respect to awards covering 5% or fewer of the total number of shares authorized under the 2019 Incentive Plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Treatment of Awards upon a Change in Control. In connection with a change in control:

(A)upon the occurrence of a change in control of the company in which awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan are not 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:
all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will become fully vested and exercisable, and all time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding awards will lapse; and
the payout opportunities attainable under outstanding performance-based awards will vest based on target or actual performance (depending on the time during the performance period in which the change in control occurs) and the awards will payout on a pro rata basis, based on the time elapsed prior to the change in control.
(B)upon the occurrence of a change in control of the company in which awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan are assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the change in control, if within two years after the effective date of the change in control, a participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or the participant resigns for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the 2019 Incentive Plan), then:
all of that participant’s outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will become fully vested and exercisable, and all time-based vesting restrictions on that participant’s outstanding awards will lapse; and
the payout opportunities attainable under outstanding performance-based awards will vest based on target or actual performance (depending on the time during the performance period in which the date of termination occurs) and the awards will payout on a pro rata basis, based on the time elapsed prior to the date of termination.

Limitations on Transfer; Beneficiaries. A participant may not assign or transfer an award other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that the Committee may permit other transfers (other than transfers for value). A participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any award upon the participant’s death.

Anti-Dilution Adjustments. In the event of a transaction between the company and its stockholders that causes the per-share value of the company’s common stock to change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the share authorization limits under the 2019 Incentive Plan will be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee must make such adjustments to the 2019 Incentive Plan and awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from such transaction. In the event of any corporate event or transaction involving the company, such as a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, a stock dividend, spin-off, or a combination or exchange of shares, dividend in kind or other like change in capital structure, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, make such other appropriate adjustments to the terms of any outstanding awards to reflect such changes or distributions and to modify any other terms of outstanding awards.

Termination and Amendment. The Board may, at any time and from time to time, terminate or amend the 2019 Incentive Plan, but if an amendment would constitute a material amendment requiring stockholder approval under applicable listing requirements, laws, policies or regulations, then such amendment will be subject to stockholder approval. No termination or amendment of the 2019 Incentive Plan may, without the written consent of the participant, reduce or diminish the value of an outstanding award. Unless sooner terminated, the 2019 Incentive Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its adoption by the Board or, if the stockholders approve an amendment to the 2019 Incentive Plan that increases the number of shares subject to the 2019 Incentive Plan, the tenth anniversary of the date of such approval.

The Committee may amend or terminate outstanding awards. However, such amendments may require the consent of the participant and, unless approved by the stockholders, the exercise price of an outstanding option may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, and the original term of an option may not be extended.

10

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Prohibition on Repricing. As indicated above under “Termination and Amendment,” outstanding stock options and SARs cannot be repriced, directly or indirectly, without stockholder approval. The exchange of an “underwater” stock option or SAR (i.e., an award having an exercise price in excess of the current market value of the underlying stock) for another award or for a cash payment would be considered an indirect repricing and would, therefore, require stockholder approval.

Clawback Policy. Awards under the 2019 Incentive Plan will be subject to any compensation recoupment policy (sometimes referred to as a “clawback policy”) of the company as adopted from time to time.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Effects

The U.S. federal income tax discussion set forth below is intended for general information only and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all of the potential tax effects of the 2019 Incentive Plan. It is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. State and local income tax consequences are not discussed, and may vary from locality to locality.

Nonstatutory Stock Options. There will be no federal income tax consequences to the optionee or to the company upon the grant of a nonstatutory stock option under the 2019 Incentive Plan. When the optionee exercises a nonstatutory option, however, he or she will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock received upon exercise of the option at the time of exercise over the exercise price, and the company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction. Any gain that the optionee realizes when he or she later sells or disposes of the option shares will be short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on how long the shares were held.

Incentive Stock Options. There will be no federal income tax consequences to the optionee or to the company upon the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. If the optionee holds the option shares for the required holding period of at least two years after the date the option was granted and one year after exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon sale or disposition of the option shares will be long-term capital gain or loss, and the company will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction. If the optionee disposes of the option shares in a sale, exchange, or other disqualifying disposition before the required holding period ends, he or she will recognize taxable ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price, and the company will be allowed a federal income tax deduction equal to such amount. While the exercise of an incentive stock option does not result in current taxable income, the excess of the fair market value of the option shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price will be an item of adjustment for purposes of determining the optionee’s alternative minimum taxable income.

SARs. A participant receiving a SAR under the 2019 Incentive Plan will not recognize income, and the company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time the award is granted. When the participant exercises the SAR, the amount of cash and the fair market value of any shares of stock received will be ordinary income to the participant and the company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time.

Restricted Stock. Unless a participant makes an election to accelerate recognition of the income to the date of grant as described below, a participant will not recognize income, and the company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a restricted stock award is granted, provided that the award is nontransferable and is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. When the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the stock as of that date (less any amount he or she paid for the stock), and the company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m). If the participant files an election under Code Section 83(b) within 30 days after the date of grant of the restricted stock, he or she will recognize ordinary income as of the date of grant equal to the fair market value of the stock as of that date (less any amount paid for the stock), and the company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m). Any future appreciation in the stock will be taxable to the participant at capital gains rates. However, if the stock is later forfeited, the participant will not be able to recover the tax previously paid pursuant to the Code Section 83(b) election.

Restricted or Deferred Stock Units. A participant will not recognize income, and the company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a stock unit award is granted. Upon receipt of shares of stock (or the equivalent

11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

value in cash) in settlement of a stock unit award, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the stock or other property as of that date (less any amount he or she paid for the stock or property), and the company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).

Cash-Based Awards. A participant will not recognize income, and the company will not be allowed a tax deduction, at the time a cash-based award is granted (for example, when the performance goals are established). Upon receipt of cash in settlement of the award, a participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the cash received, and the company will be allowed a corresponding federal income tax deduction at that time, subject to any applicable limitations under Code Section 162(m).

Tax Withholding. The company has the right to deduct or withhold, or require a participant to remit to the company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including employment taxes) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the 2019 Incentive Plan.

Benefits to Named Executive Officers and Others

As of March 31, 2019, no awards had been granted under the 2019 Incentive Plan. Awards will be made at the discretion of the Committee or pursuant to delegated authority. Therefore, it is not presently possible to determine the benefits or amounts that will be received by such persons or groups pursuant to the 2019 Incentive Plan in the future.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR the approval of the
Select Interior Concepts, Inc. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

PROPOSAL 3—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Proposal

Based on the recommendation of our Audit Committee, we have retained Grant Thornton LLP (“GT”), as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. GT has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since October, 2017.

Although our Bylaws do not require that the stockholders ratify the appointment of GT as our independent registered public accounting firm, we are submitting the appointment of GT to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance. If our stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain GT. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, in their discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of SIC and its stockholders.

A representative of GT is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019.

Fees Paid to Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

GT served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The following table sets forth fees for all professional services rendered by GT for the audit of our financial statements for 2018 and 2017 and fees billed for other services rendered by GT:

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, our Audit committee has the responsibility to appoint, set compensation, and to oversee the work of our independent auditor. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy that requires it to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Pre-approval is generally detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is subject to a specified budget. Management is required to seek pre-approval of services that will exceed the budget or for services that are not detailed in an existing pre-approval. The Chair of the Audit Committee has been delegated the authority to pre-approve certain services between regularly scheduled meetings, with ratification by the Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Management reports quarterly to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. All services performed by GT during fiscal years 2018 and 2017 were approved in accordance with this policy.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND
THE CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF THE COMPANY

Generally

Our business is managed by the Company’s employees under the direction and oversight of the Board of Directors. Except for Mr. Johnson, none of our current Board members is an employee of the Company. We keep Board members informed of our business through discussions with management, materials we provide to them, visits to our offices, and facilities, and their participation in Board and Board committee meetings.

The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Members of each of these committees are nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and are appointed annually at the meeting of the Board of Directors held following the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each of these committees is composed entirely of independent, non-management directors and operates under a charter approved by the Board of Directors which sets out the purposes and responsibilities of the committee. These committees annually renew and, as appropriate, seek revisions of their charters to reflect, among other things, changing regulatory developments. All three of these charters are available for review at our website at www.selectinteriorconcepts.com. The principal responsibilities of these committees are described below.

Corporate Governance Practices and Policies

Our Board of Directors carefully follows the corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act, the rules adopted thereunder by the SEC, and the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules. Each of the Board of Directors committees has adopted a charter.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. Among other matters, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote the following:

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest;
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our communications with and reports to our stockholders, including reports filed with the SEC, and other public communications;
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
a professional and respectful work environment, free of discrimination or harassment;
prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to appropriate persons identified in the code; and
accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is publicly available and can be accessed on our website at www.selectinteriorconcepts.com. Copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are also available, free of charge, by submitting a written request to Select Interior Concepts, Inc. at 400 Galleria Parkway, Suite 1760, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attn: Corporate Secretary. We intend to disclose future amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website in accordance with applicable NASDAQ and the SEC requirements.

Our Board of Directors adopted an Insider Trading Policy in connection with our listing on the NASDAQ hat applies to our directors, officers, employees, and service providers. Among other matters, our Insider Trading Policy:

prohibits officers, directors, and other employees, after the adoption of the Insider Trading Policy, from pledging securities of the Company as collateral for loans, except where such persons demonstrate the financial ability to repay the loan without resort to the collateral; and
discourages officers, directors, and employees from entering into hedging transactions involving the Company’s stock.

These charters, guidelines, and codes will be reviewed annually and amended as necessary or appropriate in response to changing regulatory requirements and evolving best practices.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Director Independence

The NASDAQ Stock Market Rules require that a majority of the Board of Directors consist of independent, non-management directors. Under such rules, a director is independent if he or she does not have a material relationship with the Company. Our Board annually evaluates each member’s independence status.

The Board of Directors has determined that as of March 26, 2019, the following five (5) of the Company’s six (6) incumbent directors are independent under the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules: Messrs. Smith, McAleenan, Vansant, and Wyard, and Ms. Coster. Mr. Johnson, as a management director, participates in the Board’s activities and provides valuable insight and advice.

Non-management directors have access to individual members of management or to other employees of the Company on a confidential basis. Directors also have access to Company records and files and directors may contact other directors without informing Company management of the purpose or even the fact of such contact.

Audit Committee

Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, which is currently comprised of three independent directors, Donald F. McAleenan, Robert Scott Vansant, and S. Tracy Coster, each of whom is “able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including our balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement,” as required under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. Robert Scott Vansant serves as the chairman of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter, among other matters, oversees: (i) our financial reporting, auditing and internal control activities; (ii) the integrity and audits of our financial statements; (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iv) the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors; (v) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors; and (vi) our overall risk exposure and management. Duties of the Audit Committee also include:

annually review and assess the adequacy of the Audit Committee charter;
be responsible for the appointment, retention and termination of our independent auditors and determine the compensation of our independent auditors;
review with the independent auditors the plans and results of the audit engagement;
evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent auditors;
have sole authority to approve in advance all audit and non-audit services by our independent auditors, the scope and terms thereof, and the fees therefor;
review our system of audit and financial accounting controls and the results of internal audits; and
meet periodically with management, our chief financial officer or other internal audit staff and our independent auditors in separate executive sessions.

Our Board of Directors has determined that Robert Scott Vansant is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under the rules of the SEC, and has the requisite “financial sophistication” as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Audit Committee met seven (7) times during 2018.

Compensation Committee

Our Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee, which is comprised of three independent directors, Donald F. McAleenan, Robert Scott Vansant, and S. Tracy Coster. Donald F. McAleenan serves as the chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, pursuant to its written charter, among other matters:

administers, reviews, and makes recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding incentive compensation and equity-based plans;
reviews all equity compensation plans to be submitted for stockholder approval under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market, and reviews, in its sole discretion, all equity compensation plans that are exempt from such stockholder approval requirement;

15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

annually reviews and approves our corporate goals and objectives with respect to compensation for executive officers and, at least annually, evaluates each executive officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives to set his or her annual compensation, including salary, bonus and equity and non-equity incentive compensation, subject to approval by our Board of Directors;
annually reviews, concurrently with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the appropriate level of compensation for Board of Director and committee service by non-employee directors; and
reviews our incentive compensation arrangements to confirm that incentive pay does not encourage unnecessary risk-taking, and reviews and discusses, at least annually, the relationship between risk management policies and practices, corporate strategy and our compensation arrangements.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant to be used to assist in the evaluation of executive officer compensation. The Compensation Committee met four (4) times during 2018.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. McAleenan and Vansant and Ms. Coster all served as members of the Compensation Committee during the 2018 Fiscal Year. No member of the Compensation Committee is or at any time has been an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. None of our executive officers serves or has served on the compensation committee or the board of directors of another entity which had an executive officer serving on our Compensation Committee.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our Board of Directors has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised of three independent directors, Donald F. McAleenan, Robert Scott Vansant, and Brett G. Wyard. Donald F. McAleenan serves as the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, pursuant to its written charter, among other matters:

identifies individuals qualified to become members of our Board of Directors and ensures that our Board of Directors reflects the appropriate balance of knowledge, experience, skills, expertise, diversity and independence;
develops, and recommends to our Board of Directors for its approval, qualifications for director candidates and periodically reviews these qualifications with our Board of Directors;
develops, recommends and reviews, concurrently with the compensation committee, the appropriate form and level of director compensation;
reviews the committee structure of our Board of Directors and recommends directors to serve as members or chairs of each committee of our Board of Directors;
reviews and recommends committee slates annually and recommends additional committee members to fill vacancies as needed;
reviews management succession, including policies and principles for the selection and performance review of the chief executive officer, as well as policies regarding succession in the event of an emergency or the retirement of the chief executive officer; and
oversees the annual evaluations of our Board of Directors and management.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee did not meet in 2018. See “Director Qualifications” and “Our Director Nominating Process” below.

Director Qualifications

The Board of Directors seeks members from diverse personal and professional backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise. At a minimum, directors should also have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment. Directors should also possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and be committed to representing the long-term interest of the stockholders.

16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account the personal characteristics (e.g., gender, ethnicity and age) and experience (e.g., industry, professional and public service) of current and prospective directors to facilitate Board of Directors deliberations that reflect a broad range of perspectives.

In evaluating a director candidate, it is preferable that directors possess a considerable amount of business management (such as experience as a chief executive officer or chief financial officer) and educational experience. However, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers other factors that are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, including: experience, skills, expertise, diversity, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication, conflicts of interest and such other relevant factors that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors; and any other criteria established by the Board of Directors and any core competencies or technical expertise necessary to staff committees of the Board of Directors. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses whether a candidate possesses the integrity, judgment, knowledge, experience, skills, and expertise that are likely to enhance the Board of Directors’ ability to manage and direct the affairs and business of the Company, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of committees of the Board of Directors to fulfill their duties. Although the Company does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors as a whole believe that diversity, including gender, race and national origin, education, professional experience, and differences of viewpoints and skills is an important consideration when screening and evaluating candidates for nomination to the Board of Directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees and continuing directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that it is important that the Board of Directors members have complementary skills that together can best guide the Company to a successful future. In considering whether the nominees meet the requirements necessary to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors focused on the information provided in the directors’ individual biographies set forth above, as well as their personal knowledge and experience in having worked with one another as members of the Board of Directors. Each nominee brings a strong and unique background and set of skills to the Board of Directors, giving the Board of Directors as a whole competence and experience in a wide variety of areas. Certain individual qualifications and skills of our directors that contribute to the Board of Directors’ effectiveness as a whole are also described under “Proposal 1 – Election of Directors.”

The information provided in Proposal 1 presents information as of the date of this proxy statement about each director nominee. The information presented includes the names of each of the nominees, along with his or her age, all positions held with the Company, term of office as a director, principal occupations or employment for the past five years or more, involvement in certain legal proceedings, if applicable, and the name of all other publicly-held companies of which he or she currently serves as a director or has served as a director during the past five years. In addition, the information presented also includes a description of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills of each nominee and continuing director that led our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that he or she should serve as a director of the Company for the ensuing term.

Our Director Nominations Process

The Board of Directors is responsible for selecting director candidates. The Board of Directors has delegated the process to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies individuals qualified to become Board of Directors members and recommends such individuals to the Board of Directors for its consideration. While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has the authority to retain a third party to assist in the nomination process, it has not done so to date.

Directors may also be nominated by our stockholders. Eligible stockholders may nominate a candidate for election to the Board of Directors. Those stockholders who wish to submit nominees for election at an annual or special meeting of stockholders should follow the procedure generally described in Stockholder Proposals on page 29 of this proxy statement. The Board of Directors applies the same standards in considering candidates submitted by stockholders as it does in evaluating candidates submitted by members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors does not have a separate policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders other than the process provided in the nominating resolution.

It is the Company’s policy that directors should attend each meeting of the Board of Directors and each meeting of the committees on which they serve. During 2018 the Company’s full Board of Directors met in person three (3) times and six (6) times over telephonic conference calls. Each member of the Board of Directors attended all of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the Board of Directors committees on which the director served and for which they were eligible to participate. In addition to participation at Board of Directors and committee meetings, our directors discharge their responsibilities throughout the year through personal meetings and other communications, including considerable telephone contact with the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and others regarding matters of interest and concern to the Company. The Company did not have a 2018 Annual Meeting. The Company has no formal policy with regard to the attendance of its directors at its annual meeting of stockholders.

Executive Sessions of the Board

It is the policy of the Company for the independent directors of the Company to meet in executive session following meetings of the Board of Directors. The independent directors may call upon members of management and outside consultants, including auditors and executive compensation consultants to participate in executive sessions. To the extent any specific issues surface or it is appropriate to provide feedback to management following an executive session, one of the independent directors acts as a liaison with the Chairman to convey information or coordinate action with management.

Stockholder Communications

The Board of Directors has established a process for stockholders and other interested parties to communicate with the Board of Directors or to individual members of the Board of Directors. Such communications, whether by letter, e-mail or telephone, should be directed to the Secretary of the Company who will forward them to the intended recipients. However, unsolicited advertisements or invitations to conferences or promotional material, in the discretion of the Secretary or his designee, may not be forwarded to the directors.

The Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our board of directors is informed oversight of our risk management process. Our board of directors administers this oversight function directly, with support from its three standing committees (the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), each of which will address risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In particular, the Audit Committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management takes to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. The Compensation Committee will assess and monitor whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will provide oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct and will monitor the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether such guidelines are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct.

Board of Directors Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors believes its current leadership structure best serves the objectives of the Board of Directors’ oversight of management, the Board of Directors’ ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of SIC’s shareholders, and SIC’s overall corporate governance. The Board of Directors also believes that the separation of the Chairman and CEO roles allows the CEO to focus his time and energy on operating and managing SIC, while leveraging the Chairman’s experience and perspectives. The Board of Directors periodically reviews its leadership structure to determine whether it continues to best serve SIC and its shareholders.

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

We believe that the primary goal of executive compensation is to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders in a way that allows us to attract and retain the best executive talent. We have adopted compensation policies with respect to, among other things, setting base salaries, awarding bonuses and making future grants of equity awards to our executive officers. Our compensation committee has designed a compensation program that rewards, among other things, favorable stockholder returns, stock appreciation, our Company’s competitive position within the building products supply and services industry, and each executive officer’s long-term contributions to our Company.

The compensation incentives designed to further these goals take the form of annual cash compensation and equity and equity-based awards, as well as long-term cash and/or equity and equity-based incentives measured by company and/or individual performance targets that are established by our compensation committee.

Named Executive Officer Compensation

Our named executive officers for fiscal year 2018 were Tyrone Johnson, Kendall R. Hoyd, and Sunil Palakodati. The following is a summary of the elements of our compensation arrangements paid to our named executive officers for fiscal year 2018.

Annual Base Salary. Base salary is designed to compensate our named executive officers at a fixed level of compensation that serves as a retention tool throughout the executive’s tenure. In determining base salaries, our compensation committee considers each executive’s role and responsibility, unique skills, future potential with us, salary levels for similar positions in our market and internal pay equity.

Annual Cash Bonus. Annual cash bonuses are designed to incentivize our named executive officers at a variable level of compensation based on our Company’s performance as well as the executive’s individual performance. In connection with our annual cash bonus program, our compensation committee determines annual performance criteria that are flexible and that change with the needs of our business. Our annual cash bonus program is designed to reward the achievement of specific financial and operational objectives. For fiscal year 2018, our compensation committee determined the annual cash bonus for each of our named executive officers after consideration of our Company’s performance in fiscal year 2018, including the performance of our business units and individual performance. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the annual cash bonus for each of our named executive officers was based on adjusted EBITDA performance of the Company and our business units relative to previously established goals approved by the compensation committee, with the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) based on individual performance against key performance goals.

Equity and Equity-Based Awards. Time- and/or performance-based equity and cash-settled equity-based awards are designed to focus and reward our named executive officers on our long-term goals and enhance stockholder value.

In November 2017, we granted performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based phantom stock awards to our named executive officers to provide incentive for performance and a retention element to their overall compensation. In determining to grant such awards, our compensation committee took into account individual contributions and our overall financial performance, as well as the successful completion of the private offering and private placement in November 2017, and RDS’ and ASG’s financial and operational performance and growth. We did not grant any equity or equity-based awards to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2018.

Approximately 20% of the equity awards granted in 2017 were earned based on the Company’s achievement of its Adjusted EDITDA goal for the fourth quarter of 2017, a portion of which vested and paid out in 2018, and a portion of which remains subject to time-based vesting conditions. The outstanding awards that remain subject to vesting conditions are reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2018 table below. Approximately 80% of the equity awards granted in 2017 were forfeited because the Company did not achieve its Adjusted EBITDA goal for fiscal year 2018.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Retirement Savings Opportunities. All of our employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution retirement plan (which we refer to as a “401(k) plan”). We provide this 401(k) plan to help our employees save some amount of their cash compensation for retirement in a tax efficient manner. Under the 401(k) plan, employees are eligible to defer a portion of their base salary, and we, at our discretion, may make a matching contribution and/or a profit sharing contribution on their behalf.

Health and Welfare Benefits. We provide to all of our full-time employees a competitive benefits package, which includes health and welfare benefits, such as medical, dental, disability and life insurance benefits. The programs under which these benefits are offered are available to all of our full-time employees.

Severance. Under their employment agreements, each of our named executive officers is entitled to receive severance payments under certain circumstances in the event that his employment is terminated. Severance payments are designed to protect and compensate them under those circumstances. The circumstances and payments are described in more detail below under “—Employment Agreements—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control; Severance

We may terminate Messrs. Johnson’s, Hoyd’s and Palakodati’s employment at any time with or without “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement), and the executive may terminate his employment at any time with or without “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreement). If we terminate the executive’s employment for cause, if the executive resigns without good reason, or if the executive is terminated due to death or disability, the executive will only be entitled to receive any earned but unpaid annual base salary, reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, accrued but unused vacation and any other benefits that have been vested or which the executive is eligible to receive prior to the date of termination. In addition, any outstanding awards granted to such executive under our 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan will be paid in accordance with their terms.

If we terminate Messrs. Johnson’s, Hoyd’s and Palakodati’s employment without cause or if the executive terminates his employment for good reason, the executive will be entitled to the following severance benefits:

any earned but unpaid annual base salary, reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, any accrued but unused vacation, and any benefits that have vested or which the executive is eligible to receive prior to the date of termination;
for 12 months after the date of termination, an additional monthly cash amount equal to the amount we would have paid for the executive’s share of the premiums for the coverage of the executive and the executive’s dependents under our medical plan as if the executive’s employment had not terminated;
a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the executive’s annual base salary, and (ii) a payment in lieu of the annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the executive’s employment was terminated equal to the amount of the annual bonus that would have become payable for that fiscal year if employment had not been terminated, based on performance actually achieved that year (determined by our board of directors following completion of the performance year), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the executive was employed in the fiscal year of termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year; and
all outstanding and then unvested equity awards granted to the executive under our 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan or any subsequent equity incentive plan approved by our board of directors will be modified to reflect an additional one year of vesting.

Each of the employment agreements also provides that if the termination occurs within the 12-month period following a “change in control” (as defined in the employment agreement), then, in lieu of the severance benefits provided for in connection with a termination without cause or for good reason, the executive will be entitled to the following severance benefits:

any earned but unpaid annual base salary, reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the date of termination, any accrued but unused vacation, and any benefits that have vested or which the executive is eligible to receive prior to the date of termination;
for 12 months after the date of termination, an additional monthly cash amount equal to the amount we would have paid for the executive’s share of the premiums for the coverage of the executive and the executive’s dependents under our medical plan as if the executive’s employment had not terminated;
a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the executive’s annual base salary, and (ii) a payment in lieu of the annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the executive’s employment was terminated equal to the amount of the annual bonus that would have become payable for that fiscal year if employment had not been terminated, based on performance actually achieved that year (determined by our board of directors following completion of the performance year), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the executive was employed in the fiscal year of termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year;
a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the executive’s annual base salary, and (ii) target bonus (75% of annual base salary for Messrs. Hoyd and Palakodati, and 100% of annual base salary for Mr. Johnson), for the fiscal year in which the executive’s employment was terminated; and
all outstanding and then unvested equity awards granted to the executive under our 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan or any subsequent equity incentive plan approved by our board of directors will become immediately fully vested.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process and the independent audit of the annual consolidated financial statements on behalf of the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the Audit Committee Charter at least annually.

The Company, acting through its management and Board of Directors, has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and reporting process, including the system of internal accounting controls. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company’s financial statements, the financial reporting process, and internal controls.

Grant Thornton LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm engaged by the Company (“GT”), is responsible for auditing the Company’s annual financial statements and expressing its opinion thereon in accordance with auditing standards and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In addition, the members of the Audit Committee reviewed, and the chairman of the committee discussed with management and GT the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), the interim financial information contained in each quarterly earnings release and Form 10-Q prior to the release of such information to the public.

The Audit Committee met seven (7) times during 2018. In performing its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements with the Company’s management, including a discussion of the quality, not merely the acceptability, of the accounting principles used, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also has reviewed with GT its judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s accounting principles. Management and GT have advised the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were fairly stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, including those matters set forth in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as currently in effect, and amended by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 89 (Audit Adjustments) and Statement on Auditing Standards No. 90 (Audit Committee Communications).

In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from GT required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), as currently in effect, and has reviewed, evaluated, and discussed with that firm its independence from the Company.

In fiscal 2018, all of the audit fees, audit related fees and tax fees were approved either by the Audit Committee or its designee. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is compatible with maintaining auditor independence and believes that the provision of such services is compatible. Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the terms of the engagement of GT are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. All audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by GT require pre-approval by the Audit Committee in accordance with pre-approved procedures established by the Audit Committee. The procedures require all proposed engagements of GT for services of any kind to be directed to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and then submitted for approval to the Audit Committee prior to the beginning of any services. Following its consideration of all such factors, the Audit Committee has concluded that the independent registered public accountants are independent from the Company and its management.

Further, the Audit Committee discussed with GT the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee conferred with GT, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluation of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018, with management, its internal auditors, and GT.

Based upon the reviews and discussions with management and GT referred to above, in reliance on management and GT, and subject to the limitations of the role of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors, and the Board has approved, that the inclusion of the audited financial statements of the Company in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee also has approved, and is recommending stockholder approval and ratification of, the appointment of GT to audit the Company’s financial statements for its 2019 fiscal year.

This report has been submitted by the Audit Committee:

RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Under the Company’s Policy and Procedures with Respect to Related Person Transactions, and consistent with NASDAQ rules, any material potential or actual conflict of interest or transaction between the Company and any ”related person“ of the Company must be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. SEC rules define a “related person” of the Company as any director (or nominee), executive officer, 5%-or-greater shareholder or immediate family member of any of these persons.

Information Technology and Process Re-Engineering Consulting Fees Paid to Sharpen Business Analytics

Sharpen Business Analytics, a company solely owned by Sharon Hoyd, who is the spouse of Kendall R. Hoyd, our Chief Financial Officer, provides accounting, financial reporting, information technology, software development, and process re-engineering consulting services to RDS pursuant to a consulting agreement, dated as of March 1, 2015. The total amount of fees paid to Sharpen Business Analytics under this consulting agreement during 2018 was $203,414.

Board Designee Agreement

On December 15, 2017, we entered into a board designee agreement with Gateway Securities Holdings, LLC (which we refer to as the “Solace Fund”). Under this board designee agreement, the Solace Fund has the right to nominate one director to serve on our Board of Directors until the earliest to occur of (i) the Solace Fund and its affiliates having sold or otherwise transferred 50% or more of the 3,500,000 shares of our common stock held by them at the time thereof (taking into account any stock splits, stock dividends or similar events), (ii) the Solace Fund and its affiliates failing to beneficially own on a fully diluted basis at least 6.5% of our outstanding common stock, (iii) the Solace Fund’s nominee being removed from our Board of Directors for cause (as defined in the board designee agreement), (iv) the Solace Fund’s nominee having breached the board designee agreement or any of his or her fiduciary duties to our Company and our stockholders, and (v) the Solace Fund’s nominee not being elected or re-elected to our Board of Directors at any meeting of our stockholders. The Solace Fund has currently designated Brett G. Wyard to serve on our board of directors.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of securities ownership on Form 3 and changes in such ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Officers, directors and more than ten percent beneficial owners also are required by rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish the Company with copies of all such Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based solely upon a review of the copies of Forms 3, 4, and 5 furnished to the Company or representations by certain executive officers and directors that no such reports were required for them, the Company believes that, during 2018 all of the Company's directors, officers and more than ten-percent beneficial owners filed all such reports on a timely basis.

OTHER MATTERS

At the time of the preparation of this proxy sheet, the Board of Directors has not been informed of any other matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting other than those proposals specifically set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting and referred to herein. If you execute the enclosed proxy and any other business should come before the meeting, we expect that the persons named in the enclosed proxy will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment on that matter.

The proxies designated by the Board of Directors also will have such discretionary authority, notwithstanding the stockholder’s compliance with the deadlines described above, if we advise stockholders in the proxy statement for the meeting about the nature of the matter and how management intends to vote on such matter, and the stockholder does not comply with specified provisions of the SEC’s rules.

ADMINISTRATION

4.1   COMMITTEE. The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Board (which Committee shall consist of at least two directors) or, at the discretion of the Board from time to time, the Plan may be administered by the Board. Unless and until changed by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board is designated as the Committee to administer the Plan. It is intended that at least two of the directors appointed to serve on the Committee shall be Independent Directors and that any such members of the Committee who do not so qualify shall abstain from participating in any decision to make or administer Awards that are made to Eligible Participants who at the time of consideration for such Award are persons subject to the short-swing profit rules of Section 16 of the 1934 Act. However, the mere fact that a Committee member shall fail to qualify as an Independent Director or shall fail to abstain from such action shall not invalidate any Award made by the Committee which Award is otherwise validly made under the Plan. The members of the Committee shall be appointed by, and may be changed at any time and from time to time in the discretion of, the Board. The Board may reserve to itself any or all of the authority and responsibility of the Committee under the Plan or may act as administrator of the Plan for any and all purposes. To the extent the Board has reserved any authority and responsibility or during any time that the Board is acting as administrator of the Plan, it shall have all the powers and protections of the Committee hereunder, and any reference herein to the Committee (other than in this Section 4.1) shall include the Board. To the extent any action of the Board under the Plan conflicts with actions taken by the Committee, the actions of the Board shall control.

4.2   ACTION AND INTERPRETATIONS BY THE COMMITTEE. For purposes of administering the Plan, the Committee may from time to time adopt rules, regulations, guidelines and procedures for carrying out the provisions and purposes of the Plan and make such other determinations, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent it deems necessary to carry out the intent of the Plan. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted under the Plan, any Award Certificate and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by applicable law. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of the Company or any Affiliate, the Company’s or an Affiliate’s independent certified public accountants, Company counsel or any executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company or the Committee to assist in the administration of the Plan. No member of the Committee will be liable for any good faith determination, act or omission in connection with the Plan or any Award.

4.4   DELEGATION. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the Company or an Affiliate or to one or more agents or advisors such administrative duties or powers as it may deem advisable, and the Committee or any individuals to whom it has delegated duties or powers as aforesaid may employ one or more individuals to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such individuals may have under this Plan. In addition, the Committee may, by resolution, expressly delegate to one or more of its members or to one or more officers of the Company, the authority, within specified parameters as to the number and terms of Awards, to (i) designate officers and/or employees of the Company or any of its Affiliates to be recipients of Awards under the Plan, and (ii) to determine the number of such Awards to be received by any such Participants; provided, however, that such delegation of duties and responsibilities may not be made with respect to the grant of Awards to eligible participants who are subject to Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act at the Grant Date. The acts of such delegates shall be treated hereunder as acts of the Committee and such delegates shall report regularly to the Committee regarding the delegated duties and responsibilities and any Awards so granted.

The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s charter or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

A-6

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(a)   To the extent that all or a portion of an Award is canceled, terminates, expires, is forfeited or lapses for any reason (including by reason of failure to meet time-based and/or performance-based vesting requirements), any unissued or forfeited Shares originally subject to the Award will be added back to the Plan share reserve and again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

(b)   Shares subject to Awards settled in cash will be added back to the Plan share reserve and again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

(c)   Shares withheld or repurchased from an Award or delivered by a Participant to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements will be added back to the Plan share reserve and again be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

(d)   If the exercise price of an Option is satisfied in whole or in part by delivering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or attestation), the number of Shares so tendered (by delivery or attestation) shall be added to the Plan share reserve and will be available for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan.

(e)   To the extent that the full number of Shares subject to an Option or SAR is not issued upon exercise of the Option or SAR for any reason, including by reason of net-settlement of the Award, the unissued Shares originally subject to the Award will be added back to the Plan share reserve and again be available for issuance pursuant to other Awards granted under the Plan.

(f)   Substitute Awards granted pursuant to Section 13.10 of the Plan shall not count against the Shares otherwise available for issuance under the Plan under Section 5.1.

(g)   Subject to applicable Exchange requirements, shares available under a stockholder-approved plan of a company acquired by the Company (as appropriately adjusted to Shares to reflect the transaction) may be issued under the Plan pursuant to Awards granted to individuals who were not employees of the Company or its Affiliates immediately before such transaction and will not count against the maximum share limitation specified in Section 5.1.

5.3   STOCK DISTRIBUTED. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open market.

5.4   LIMITATION ON AWARDS. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary (but subject to adjustment as provided in Article 14):

(a)   During the term of the Plan, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be 500,000.

(b)   During any calendar year, no Participant shall receive Options or Stock Appreciation Rights covering (in the aggregate) more than 500,000 Shares.

For purposes of applying these limits in the case of multi-year Performance Periods, the dollar amount or number of shares deemed earned in any one calendar year is the total amount paid or shares earned for the Performance Period divided by the number of calendar years in the Performance Period. In applying this limit, the amount of any cash or the Fair Market Value or number of any shares of Common Stock or other property earned by a Participant shall be measured as of the close of the final year of the Performance Period regardless of the fact that certification by the Committee and actual payment or release of restrictions to the Participant may occur in a subsequent calendar year or years.

With respect to any one calendar year, the aggregate compensation that may be granted or awarded to any one Non-Employee Director, including all meeting fees, cash retainers and retainers granted in the form of Awards, shall not exceed $400,000, or $500,000 in the case of a non-employee Chairman of the Board or Lead Director.

(c)   Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, subject to Sections 7.1(e) and 13.6, and may include in the Award Certificate a provision that an Option that is otherwise exercisable and has an exercise price that is less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the last day of its term will be automatically exercised on such final date of the term by means of a “net exercise,” thus entitling the optionee to Shares equal to the intrinsic value of the Option on such exercise date, less the number of Shares required for tax withholding. The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised or vested.

(d)   Payment. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, and the methods by which Shares shall be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants.

No SAR shall be exercisable for more than ten years from the Grant Date.

If a Participant is promoted, demoted or transferred to a different business unit or function during a performance period, the Committee may determine that the performance goals or performance period are no longer appropriate and may (i) adjust, change or eliminate the performance goals or the applicable performance period as it deems appropriate to make such goals and period comparable to the initial goals and period, or (ii) make a cash payment to the participant in an amount determined by the Committee.

ARTICLE 11
DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS

Notwithstanding Section 13.3, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A Permitted Transferee, beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Certificate applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Certificate otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, any payment due to the Participant shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant, in the manner provided by the Company, at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

13.5   STOCK TRADING RESTRICTIONS. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock.

13.6   MINIMUM VESTING REQUIREMENTS. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, equity-based Awards (or any portion thereof) granted under the Plan shall vest no earlier than the first

A-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

anniversary of the date the Award is granted; provided, that the following Awards shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum vesting requirement: any (i) substitute Awards granted pursuant to Section 13.10, (ii) Awards to Non-Employee Directors that vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders after the immediately preceding year’s annual meeting (provided that the period between annual meetings is not less than 50 weeks), and (iii) any additional Awards the Committee may grant, up to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the available share reserve authorized for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 (subject to adjustment under Section 14.1).

13.7   EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN CONTROL. The provisions of this Section 13.7 shall apply in the case of a Change in Control.

(a)   Awards Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity. With respect to Awards assumed by the 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 service is terminated without Cause or the Participant resigns for Good Reason, then (i) all of that Participant’s outstanding Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, (ii) all time-based vesting restrictions on his or her outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the payout level under all of that Participant’s performance-based Awards that were outstanding immediately prior to effective time of the Change in Control shall be determined and deemed to have been earned as of the date of termination based upon (A) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level if the date of termination occurs during the first half of the applicable performance period, or (B) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target (measured as of the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date of termination), if the date of termination occurs during the second half of the applicable performance period, and, in either such case, there shall be a prorata payout to such Participant within sixty (60) days following the date of termination of service (unless a later date is required by Section 16.3(d) hereof), based upon the length of time within the performance period that has elapsed prior to the date of termination of service. With regard to each Award, a Participant shall not be considered to have resigned for Good Reason unless either (i) the Award Certificate includes such provision or (ii) the Participant is party to an employment, severance or similar agreement with the Company or an Affiliate that includes provisions in which the Participant is permitted to resign for Good Reason. Any Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate.

(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) outstanding Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully exercisable, (ii) time-based vesting restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (iii) the target payout opportunities attainable under outstanding performance-based Awards shall be deemed to have been fully earned as of the effective date of the Change in Control based upon (A) an assumed achievement of all relevant performance goals at the “target” level if the Change in Control occurs during the first half of the applicable performance period, or (B) the actual level of achievement of all relevant performance goals against target measured as of the date of the Change in Control, if the Change in Control occurs during the second half of the applicable performance period, and, in either such case, there shall be a prorata payout to Participants within sixty (60) days following the Change in Control (unless a later date is required by Section 16.3(d) hereof), based upon the length of time within the performance period that has elapsed prior to the Change in Control. Any Awards shall thereafter continue or lapse in accordance with the other provisions of the Plan and the Award Certificate.

13.8   DISCRETION TO ACCELERATE AWARDS. The Committee may in its sole discretion determine that, upon the termination of service of a Participant, all or a portion of such Participant’s Options, SARs and other Awards in the nature of rights that may be exercised shall become fully or partially exercisable, that all or a part of the time-based restrictions on all or a portion of the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, and/or that any performance-based criteria with respect to any Awards held by the Participant shall be deemed to be wholly or partially satisfied, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Awards granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 13.8.

A-12

TABLE OF CONTENTS

13.9   FORFEITURE EVENTS. Awards under the Plan shall be subject to any compensation recoupment policy that the Company may adopt from time to time that is applicable by its terms to the Participant. In addition, the Committee may specify in an Award Certificate that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, (i) termination of employment for cause, (ii) violation of material Company or Affiliate policies, (iii) breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, (iv) other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company or any Affiliate, or (v) a later determination that the vesting of, or amount realized from, a Performance Award was based on materially inaccurate financial statements or any other materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, whether or not the Participant caused or contributed to such material inaccuracy. Nothing contained herein or in any Award Certificate prohibits the Participant from: (1) reporting possible violations of federal law or regulations, including any possible securities laws violations, to any governmental agency or entity; (2) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulations; or (3) otherwise fully participating in any federal whistleblower programs, including but not limited to any such programs managed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange.

13.10   SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards held by employees of another entity who become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as a result of a merger or consolidation of the former employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of property or stock of the former employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances.

ARTICLE 14
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

14.1   MANDATORY ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of a nonreciprocal transaction between the Company and its stockholders that causes the per-share value of the Stock to change (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, rights offering, or large nonrecurring cash dividend), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and Section 5.4 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee shall make such adjustments to the Plan and Awards as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights immediately resulting from such transaction. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price of outstanding Awards or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Award; and (iv) any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not make any adjustments to outstanding Options or SARs that would constitute a modification or substitution of the stock right under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v) that would be treated as the grant of a new stock right or change in the form of payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 and Section 5.4 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Award shall automatically, without the necessity for any additional action by the Committee, be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase price therefor.

14.2   DISCRETIONARY ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence or in anticipation of any corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any merger, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or exchange of shares, or any transaction described in Section 14.1), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that Awards will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (ii) that Awards will become immediately vested and non-forfeitable and exercisable (in whole or in part) and will expire after a designated period of time to the extent not then exercised, (iii) that Awards will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that outstanding Awards may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise or base price of the Award, (v) that performance targets and performance periods for Performance Awards will be modified, or (vi) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated.

A-13

TABLE OF CONTENTS

14.3   GENERAL. Any discretionary adjustments made pursuant to this Article 14 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 15.2. To the extent that any adjustments made pursuant to this Article 14 cause Incentive Stock Options to cease to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be deemed to be Nonstatutory Stock Options.

ARTICLE 15
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION

15.1   AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the Plan without stockholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, either (i) materially increase the number of Shares available under the Plan (other than pursuant to Article 14), (ii) expand the types of awards under the Plan.(iii) materially expand the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan, (iv) materially extend the term of the Plan, or (v) otherwise constitute a material change requiring stockholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall be subject to stockholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of stockholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being necessary or deemed advisable (i) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (ii) to satisfy any other tax, securities or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.1, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company, the Plan may not be amended to permit: (i) the exercise price or base price of an Option or SAR to be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an Option or SAR to be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards, or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR, or (iii) the Company to repurchase an Option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the Option or SAR.

15.2   AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award without approval of the Participant; provided, however:

(a)   Subject to the terms of the applicable Award Certificate, such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option or SAR for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such Award);

(b)   Except as otherwise provided in Section 14.1, without the prior approval of the stockholders of the Company, (i) the exercise price of an Option or base price of a SAR may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, (ii) an option or SAR may not be cancelled in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or SARs with an exercise or base price that is less than the exercise price or base price of the original Option or SAR, or otherwise, and (iii) the Company may not repurchase an Option or SAR for value (in cash or otherwise) from a Participant if the current Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying the Option or SAR is lower than the exercise price or base price per share of the Option or SAR; and

(c)   No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material respect any Award previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Award shall not be deemed to be “adversely affected” by a Plan amendment if such amendment would not reduce or diminish the value of such Award determined as if the Award had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option or SAR for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment over the exercise or base price of such Award).

15.3   COMPLIANCE AMENDMENTS. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, the Board may amend the Plan or an Award Certificate, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or Award Certificate to any present or future law relating to plans of this or similar nature (including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code), and to the administrative regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder. By accepting an Award under this Plan, a Participant agrees to any amendment made pursuant to this Section 15.3 to any Award granted under the Plan without further consideration or action.

ARTICLE 16
GENERAL PROVISIONS

16.1   RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS.

(a)   No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly, and determinations made under the Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such Eligible Participants are similarly situated).

(b)   Nothing in the Plan, any Award Certificate or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s employment or status as an officer, or any Participant’s service as a director or consultant, at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a Participant’s Award or otherwise.

(c)   Neither an Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute an employment contract with the Company or any Affiliate and, accordingly, subject to Article 15, this Plan and the benefits hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion of the Committee without giving rise to any liability on the part of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

(d)   No Award gives a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Award.

16.2   WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company or such Affiliate, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. The obligations of the Company under the Plan will be conditioned on such payment or arrangements and the Company or such Affiliate will, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time the Award is granted or thereafter, any such withholding requirement may be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from the Award Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the amount required to be withheld in accordance with applicable tax requirements (up to the maximum individual statutory rate in the applicable jurisdiction as may be permitted under then-current accounting principles to qualify for equity classification), in accordance with such procedures as the Committee establishes. All such elections shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

16.3   SPECIAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO SECTION 409A OF THE CODE.

(a)   General. It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under the Plan and any Award shall either be exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in a manner that effects such intent. Nevertheless, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Plan or any Award is not warranted or guaranteed. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor their respective directors, officers, employees or advisers (other than in his or her capacity as a Participant) shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by any Participant or other taxpayer as a result of the Plan or any Award.

(b)   Definitional Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that would constitute non-exempt “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code (“Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation”) would otherwise be payable or distributable, or a different form of payment (e.g., lump sum or installment) of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would be effected, under the Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control, or the Participant’s Disability or separation from service, such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation will not be payable or distributable to the Participant, and/or such different form of payment will not be effected, by reason of such circumstance unless the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, Disability or separation from service meet any description or definition of “change in control event”, “disability” or “separation from service”, as the case may be, in Section 409A of the Code and applicable regulations (without giving effect to any elective provisions that may be available under such definition). This

A-15

TABLE OF CONTENTS

provision does not prohibit the vesting of any Award upon a Change in Control, Disability or separation from service, however defined. If this provision prevents the payment or distribution of any amount or benefit, or the application of a different form of payment of any amount or benefit, such payment or distribution shall be made at the time and in the form that would have applied absent the non-409A-conforming event.

(c)   Allocation among Possible Exemptions. If any one or more Awards granted under the Plan to a Participant could qualify for any separation pay exemption described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9), but such Awards in the aggregate exceed the dollar limit permitted for the separation pay exemptions, the Company shall determine which Awards or portions thereof will be subject to such exemptions.

(d)   Six-Month Delay in Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Certificate to the contrary, if any amount or benefit that would constitute Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation would otherwise be payable or distributable under this Plan or any Award Certificate by reason of a Participant’s separation from service during a period in which the Participant is a Specified Employee (as defined below), then, subject to any permissible acceleration of payment by the Committee under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A- 3(j)(4)(ii) (domestic relations order), (j)(4)(iii) (conflicts of interest), or (j)(4)(vi) (payment of employment taxes): (i) the amount of such Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation that would otherwise be payable during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s separation from service will be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first day of the seventh month following the Participant’s separation from service (or, if the Participant dies during such period, within 30 days after the Participant’s death) (in either case, the “Required Delay Period”); and (ii) the normal payment or distribution schedule for any remaining payments or distributions will resume at the end of the Required Delay Period. For purposes of this Plan, the term “Specified Employee” has the meaning given such term in Code Section 409A and the final regulations thereunder.

(e)   Installment Payments. If, pursuant to an Award, a Participant is entitled to a series of installment payments, such Participant’s right to the series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not to a single payment. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “series of installment payments” has the meaning provided in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(iii) (or any successor thereto).

(f)   Timing of Release of Claims Whenever an Award conditions a payment or benefit on the Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, such release must be executed and all revocation periods shall have expired within sixty (60) days after the date of termination of the Participant’s employment; failing which such payment or benefit shall be forfeited. If such payment or benefit is exempt from Section 409A of the Code, the Company may elect to make or commence payment at any time during such 60-day period. If such payment or benefit constitutes Non-Exempt Deferred Compensation, then, subject to subsection (c) above, (i) if such 60-day period begins and ends in a single calendar year, the Company may make or commence payment at any time during such period at its discretion, and (ii) if such 60-day period begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, the payment shall be made or commence during the second such calendar year (or any later date specified for such payment under the applicable Award), even if such signing and non-revocation of the release occur during the first such calendar year included within such 60-day period. In other words, a Participant is not permitted to influence the calendar year of payment based on the timing of signing the release.

(g)   Permitted Acceleration. The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to Participants of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution(s) meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4).

16.4   UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Certificate shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of grantor trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares or payments in lieu of Shares or with respect to Awards. This Plan is not intended to be subject to ERISA.

16.5   RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit

A-16

TABLE OF CONTENTS

plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. Nothing contained in the Plan will prevent the Company from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

16.6   EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates.

16.7   TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

16.8   GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural.

16.9   FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down.

16.10   GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS.

(a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act.

(b)   Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or qualification of the Shares covered by an Award upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Award or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Award unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement.

16.11   GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Award Certificates shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

16.12   SEVERABILITY. In the event that any provision of this Plan is found to be invalid or otherwise unenforceable under any applicable law, such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed as rendering any other provisions contained herein as invalid or unenforceable, and all such other provisions will be given full force and effect to the same extent as though the invalid or unenforceable provision was not contained herein.

16.13   NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Award shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to draft or assume awards, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Award granted to such Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.
