Q:Q:  Can my broker vote my shares for me on the election of directors?
A:A:  No.  Brokers may not use discretionary authority to vote shares on the election of directors if they have not received instructions from their clients.  Please provide voting instructions on the election of directors so your vote can be counted.
Q:Q:  Can my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy card or voting instruction card and do not attend the Annual Meeting?
A:A:  If you do not vote your shares held of record (registered directly in your name, not in the name of a bank or broker), your shares will not be voted.
If you do not vote your shares held in street name with a broker, your broker will not be authorized to vote on most items being put to a vote, including the election of directors.  If your broker is not able to vote your shares, they will constitute "broker non-votes," which are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, but otherwise do not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at athis stockholder meeting.
Q:Q:  What are the voting requirements with respect to each of the proposals?
A:In the election of directors, each director receiving an affirmative ("FOR") plurality of the votes cast will be elected.  You may withhold votes from any or all nominees.
A:  In the election of directors, the seven candidates receiving the highest number of affirmative ("FOR")  votes cast will be elected.  You may withhold votes from any or all nominees. All other proposals require the affirmative ("FOR") votes of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, except with respect to the proposal regarding the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers we will consider stockholders to have "approved" the frequency selected by a plurality of the votes cast on the matter. Thus, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the votes on these proposals.
If you own shares held in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute "broker non-votes."  Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given.  In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to be voted on that proposal.  Thus, the "broker non-vote" will have no effect on any matter being voted on at thethis Annual Meeting, assuming that a quorum is present.

If any services other than audit services are rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee determines whether such services are compatible with maintaining our independent registered public accounting firm's independence.
All services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
Votes Required
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter is required to ratify the appointment of McGladrey as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.2015.  Thus, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of McGladrey as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.2015.
Proposal No. 3:  Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the "Dodd-Frank Act," enables stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC's rules.
We are asking stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers named in the "Summary Compensation Table" included in this Proxy Statement.  This proposal, commonly known as a "say-on-pay" proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers.  Accordingly, we will ask stockholders to vote "FOR" the following resolution at the Meeting:
"RESOLVED, that the Company's stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 20132015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure."
Page 15
The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") or the Board.  The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders' concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.
Vote Required
Adoption of this resolution will require the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares cast on the matter.  Thus, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal. 
Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the adoption of the resolution approving the compensation of the Company's named executive officers.
Proposal No. 4:  Advisory Vote on Frequency of Executive Compensation Vote
The Dodd-Frank Act also enables stockholders to indicate how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the SEC's compensation disclosure rules, such as relates to Proposal No. 3 in this Proxy Statement.  By voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote on named executive officer compensation once every one, two, or three years.
After careful consideration of this proposal, the Board has determined that an advisory vote on executive compensation that occurs every year is the most appropriate alternative for the Company, and therefore the Board recommends that you vote for an annual interval for the advisory vote on executive compensation.  We believe that an annual vote allows for the most frequent input from stockholders with respect to our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices.  Additionally, an annual vote permits stockholders to observe and evaluate the effect of any changes to the Company's executive compensation policies and practices that have occurred since the last advisory vote on executive compensation.  As such, an annual vote would likely foster more robust dialogue between the Board and our stockholders.
You may cast your vote on your preferred voting frequency by choosing the option of one year, two years, three years or abstain from voting when you vote in response to this proposal.  The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by stockholders will be the frequency for the advisory vote on executive compensation that has been selected by stockholders.  However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Board or the Company in any way, the Board may decide that it is in the best interests of stockholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option approved by our stockholders.
Vote Required
We will consider stockholders to have "approved" the frequency selected by a plurality of the votes cast on the proposal.  Thus, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the vote on the proposal.
Recommendation of the Board
The Board recommends a vote to hold a non-binding advisory vote to determine the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers on an annual basis by selecting "1 YEAR" as your choice.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview
The Compensation Committee is responsible for the design and administration of the Company's compensation policy and plans.  The plans are designed to successfully implement the Company's business strategy and create stockholder value. As a matter of policy, the Compensation Committee submits its recommendations to the full Board for approval.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Company's compensation program emphasizes performance-based compensation promoting the achievement of short-term and long-term business objectives. This aligns our executives' compensation with stockholder interests, while providing competitive compensation to attract, motivate and retain executives with superior skills and abilities.
Determination of Compensation Awards
The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board the compensation awards for the named executive officers based on (i) Company performance versus annual budgeted financial targets, and (ii) individual performance.
The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the Chief Executive Officer's performance prior to making its recommendation to the Board regarding the Chief Executive Officer's compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of our Chief Financial Officer with the Compensation Committee and makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee regarding the Chief Financial Officer's compensation. During this review,these reviews, the Compensation Committee considers the Company's performance in the following categories: (i) improvement in the Company's market value; (ii) the achievement of agreed upon shortshort- and long termlong-term objectives; and (iii) predetermined individual goals.
Compensation Benchmarking and Peer Group
The Company has not retained a compensation consultant to review its policies and procedures with respect to the compensation of the named executive officers, though it may choose to do so in the future.  The Compensation Committee benchmarks the compensation of the named executive officers against the median compensation paid by comparable companies determined at the time.  To that end, the Compensation Committee will conduct a benchmark review as often as deemed necessary of the aggregate level of compensation of the named executive officers as well as the mix of elements used to compensate the named executive officers, taking into account input from independent members of the Board and publicly available data relating to the compensation practices and policies of comparable companies.  While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting the compensation of the named executive officers due to the Company's potentially unique aspectscircumstances and objectives, the Compensation Committee generally believes that gathering such information is an important part of the Compensation Committee's decision-making process.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Committee may determine that it is in the Company's best interest to recommend total compensation packages that deviate from the Compensation Committee's general principle of benchmarking the compensation of the named executive officers.
Page 2120
Elements of Compensation
Base Salary
Base salary levels for the Company's named executive officers are designed to be competitive with those of employees with similar responsibilities working for companies of comparable size, capitalization and complexity.  In determining base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into account a variety of factors, including experience, performance, and benchmarking.
Incentive Compensation
The Company provides annual and long-term incentive compensation to its executives and managers under the Company's 2011 Incentive Plan.  The 2011 Incentive Plan is designed to provide annual and long-term incentives for executive performance by rewarding participating executives for their contributions to profitability and stockholder value based on achieving short-term Company and individual performance goals for a given year, as well as by aligning a significant portion of compensation with the long-term interests of stockholders.  Short-term Company performance goals include revenue growth, EBITDA, earnings per share and return on equity.  Long-term Company performance goals include increasing the Company's total market value.  The Compensation Committee may recommend that other corporate performance measures be substituted or added (including but not limited to operating income after tax, return on capital employed and stockholder return) in order to achieve the Company's business strategy.  Individual performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer are established by the Compensation Committee and recommended to the Board for approval, while individual performance goals for our other employees are established by the Chief Executive Officer and reviewed by the Compensation Committee.
The 2011 Incentive Plan was adopted and approved by the Board on May 13, 2011, and adopted and approved by stockholders on August 4, 2011.
The LGL Group, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan
The 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), permits the Company's employees to defer a portion of their compensation by making contributions to the 401(k) Plan and thereby obtain certain tax benefits.  Participating employees also benefit from the 401(k) Plan by sharing in discretionary contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) Plan based on each employee's contribution made in a particular year.  A participant's interest in his or her individual contributions, the Company's contributions and earnings thereon is fully vested at all times.  The 401(k) Plan's proceeds are invested in guaranteed investment contracts or certain mutual funds, subject to the discretion of the participants.
The named executive officers and all other employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan after having completed three months of service and reached the age of 18.  All of the named executive officers participated in the 401(k) Plan in 2012.2014.
Other Benefits
The Company provides the named executive officers with medical insurance, life insurance and disability benefits that are generally made available to Company's employees to ensure that the Company's employees have access to basic healthcare and income protection for themselves and their family members.  In addition to the above coverage, the Company may elect to provide additional benefits such as supplemental life and disability coverage to some or all of the named executive officers at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, subject to approval fromby the Board.
