PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD MARCH 30, 201621, 2018

To Our Stockholders:

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (“Board of Directors” or “Board”) of Emerson Radio Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Emerson” or the “Company”), to be used at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at the law offices of Lowenstein SandlerOrrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP located at 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, NJ 07068,51 West 52^nd Street, New York, NY 10019, on Wednesday, March 30, 2016,21, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (local time), or at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. Our stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 23, 201614, 2018 are entitled to vote at our annual meeting. We expect to begin mailing this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card to our stockholders on or about March 3, 2016.February 22, 2018.

Important Notice of Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on March 30, 2016.21, 2018.

Our proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting, 20152017 Annual Report to Stockholders (which contains our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015)2017) and proxy card, are available on the Internet athttp://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/02008.

VOTING PROCEDURES AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES

The accompanying proxy card is designed to permit each of our stockholders as of the record date to vote on each of the proposals properly brought before the annual meeting. As of the record date, there were 27,129,83223,602,402 shares of our common stock, par value $.01 per share, issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Each outstanding share of our common stock is entitled to one vote.

The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. If a quorum is not present, the annual meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

Abstentions and brokernon-votes will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions, but not brokernon-votes, are treated as shares present and entitled to vote, and will be counted as a “no” vote on all matters other than the election of directors. Brokernon-votes are treated as not entitled to vote, and so reduce the absolute number, but not the percentage of votes needed for approval of a matter. Brokernon-votes occur when nominees, such as banks and brokers holding shares on behalf of beneficial owners, do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial holders at least ten days before the meeting. If that happens, the nominees may vote those shares only on matters deemed “routine” by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), such as the ratification of auditors. Nominees cannot vote onnon-routine matters unless they receive voting instructions from beneficial holders, resulting inso-called “brokernon-votes.”

Assuming that a quorum is present, directors will be elected by a plurality vote and the sevenfive nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. There is no right to cumulate votes in the election of directors. As a result, abstentions and “brokernon-votes” will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The election of directors is not considered to be a “routine” matter and brokers are not permitted to vote on this matter if the broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Accordingly, it is important that beneficial owners instruct their brokers how they wish to vote the shares.

Assuming that a quorum is present, the ratification of the appointment of MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, A Professional Corporation (“MSPC”) as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 20162018 and approval of any other matter that may properly come before the annual meeting will require that an affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes be cast on these proposals, in person or by proxy, to approve these proposals. As a result, abstentions will have the same practical effect as a negative vote on these proposals, and “brokernon-votes”, if any, will not affect the outcome of the vote on these proposals. The proposal for the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm is considered to be a “routine” matter, and hence the Company does not expect that there will be a significant number of brokernon-votes on such proposal.

As of the record date, February 23, 2016, The Grande Holdings Limited (In Liquidation) (“Grande”), a Bermuda corporation, has, together with S&T International Distribution Limited (“S&T”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grande and Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd. (“N.A.K.S.”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nimble Holdings Company Limited (formerly known as The Grande (together with Grande, the “Reporting Persons”Holdings Limited) (“Nimble”) had, collectively have the shared power to vote and direct the disposition of 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%64.6%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock of Emerson. Information with respect tostock. Accordingly, the ownership of these shares was obtained from a Schedule 13D/A filed with the SEC on July 9, 2014. As a result, EmersonCompany is a Controlled Company,“controlled company” as defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE MKT Rules.

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), formerly a director and Chairman of the Board of theAmerican Company and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande. Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer have the ability to exercise control over Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. Instead, Mr. Fok and Mr. Sutton, as Provisional Liquidator over Grande, currently have such power. In addition, on March 20, 2013, the Provisional Liquidators provided to Emerson a written statement that they are obligated to liquidate the 15,243,283 shares in the Company beneficially owned by Grande. However, in February 2014, the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement that Grande, among other things, had been in discussions with different investors to pursue a restructuring plan and the resumption of trading of Grande’s shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKSE”). In addition, in May 2014, the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that on May 2, 2014, Grande, the Provisional Liquidators and a creditor of Grande entered into an agreement to implement the “Grande Restructuring Proposal” submitted by a creditor of Grande. Based on information contained within the public announcement issued for Grande in May 2014, if the Grande Restructuring Proposal is implemented, Mr. Christopher Ho, who served as the Company’s Chairman of the Board until November 2013 and was the sole director of Grande until February 19, 2016, and his associates would continue to have a majority interest in Grande and would regain the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. On February 21, 2016, the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that effective February 19, 2016, Mr. Christopher Ho resigned as Grande’s sole director and that Mr. Eduard Will, who served as a director of Emerson Radio from 2008 until November 2013, and Mr. Tang Hoi Nam were appointed as directors of Grande. As disclosed in the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Reporting Persons on May 22, 2014, the Grande Restructuring Proposal includes a plan to re-list Grande on the HKSE and provides that many assets of Grande, including its shares of Emerson, would remain part of Grande. According to the public announcement issued for Grande in May 2014, the Grande Restructuring Plan will require approvals, consents and sanctions of the HKSE, courts in Hong Kong and Bermuda, and the creditors and shareholders of Grande. In addition, on June 11, 2014, Grande announced that it had received a summons issued by a creditor of Grande seeking the removal of the Provisional Liquidators. On June 1, 2015 the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that by letter dated May 29, 2015, the HKSE decided to allow Grande to proceed with Grande’s “Updated Resumption Proposal”, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by December 21, 2015. On December 22, 2015 the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that by letter dated December 22, 2015, the HKSE decided to extend the deadline for Grande to fully satisfy these conditions to May 11, 2016.

It is not possible at this time to predict whether Grande can satisfy the conditions established by the HKSE for the resumption or relisting of Grande on HKSE, or whether the Grande Restructuring Proposal will receive all necessary approvals, nor can there be any assurances regarding the timing, terms or effects of implementing the Grande Restructuring Proposal or if the Provisional Liquidators will be removed. However, even though the Provisional Liquidators continue to maintain the ability to exercise the power to direct the voting and disposition of shares, as long as the Provisional Liquidators are pursuing this restructuring proposal that would result in Grande retaining beneficial ownership of the 15,243,283 shares of Emerson common stock, the Provisional Liquidators may not be actively seeking to liquidate those shares. If the Grande Restructuring Proposal is completed as described within the public announcement issued for Grande in May 2014, it is expected that the 15,243,283 shares of Emerson common stock held of record by Grande’s subsidiary, S&T, would remain with S&T and that Grande would once again have the power to direct the voting and disposition of this 56.2% controlling interest in Emerson common stock. It is not possible at this time to predict what impact the removal of the Provisional Liquidators would have on the Grande Restructuring Proposal or Emerson and Emerson cannot predict nor provide any assurances regarding the possible effects on the Company, its shareholders, the trading price of its common stock or any other consequences that could result if the Grande Restructuring Proposal is approved and Grande again has the power to control Emerson.Guide.

Members of the Audit Committee

Procedures for Considering Nominations Made by Stockholders. Nominations for election to the Board of Directors may be made by the Company’s Board of Directors or by any stockholder of any outstanding class of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote for the election of directors. The following procedures shall be utilized in considering any candidate for election to the Board of Directors at an annual meeting, other than candidates who have previously served on the Board of Directors or who are recommended by the Board of Directors. Stockholder proposals for director nominations must be delivered to the Company’s Secretary at its corporate headquarters not less than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting;provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is moved by more than thirty (30) days from the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, notice to be timely must be so delivered a reasonable time before the company begins to print and send its proxy materials for such annual meeting. In addition, pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, stockholders who wish to nominate a person for election as a director at the annual meeting must deliver written notice to the President or Chairman of the Board of the Company at its corporate headquarters not less than twenty (20) days prior to the annual meeting;provided, however, that if the Company furnishes less than thirty (30) days’ notice of any meeting, such notification must be deliver not later than ten (10) days following the date on which the Company provided such notice, but in no event less than five (5) days prior to such annual meeting. Any such written notice must be directed to the attention of the Company’s President or the Chairman of the Board at the Company’s corporate headquarters and must comply with the applicable provisions of the Company’s bylaws, as amended. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a notice as described above. A nomination notice must set forth as to each person whom the proponent proposes to nominate for election as a director: (a) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and (b) information that will enable the Company’s Board of Directors to determine whether the candidate satisfies the minimum criteria and any additional criteria established by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Qualifications.The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted guidelines describing the minimum qualifications for nominees and the qualities or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. Each nominee (i) must satisfy any legal requirements applicable to members of the Board of Directors; (ii) must have business, professional or other experience that will enable such nominee to provide useful input to the Board of Directors in its deliberations; and (iii) must have knowledge of the types of responsibilities expected of members of the board of directors of a public company.

Identification and Evaluation of Candidates for the Board. Candidates to serve on the Board of Directors will be identified from all available sources, including recommendations made by stockholders, members of the Company’s management and members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company’s Board of Directors has a policy that there will be no differences in the manner in which its Board of Directors evaluates nominees recommended by stockholders and nominees recommended by it or management,

except that no specific process shall be mandated with respect to the nomination of any individuals who have previously served on the Board of Directors. The evaluation process for individuals other than existing members of the Board of Directors will include a review of the information provided to the Board of Directors by the proponent and a review of such other information as the Board of Directors shall determine to be relevant.

Diversity Considerations in Director Nominations

The Company does not have a formal diversity policy. The Company believes its Board of Directors represents a collection of individuals with a variety of complementary skills which, as a group, possess the appropriate skills and experience to oversee the Company’s business. The Board of Directors considers a wide variety of qualifications, attributes and other factors and recognizes that a diversity of viewpoints and practical experiences can enhance the effectiveness of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company does not have a formal policy regarding whether the roles of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be combined or separated. The Board of Directors recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board of Directors understands that there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing board leadership and that given the dynamic and competitive environment in which the Company operates, the right board leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant. Currently, the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board are separate. Currently Mr. BatchelorHo serves as the Chairman of the Board and Mr. Hon serves as the Chief Executive Officer.

Role in Risk Oversight

Although the Company’s management is responsible for implementing systems and processes to identify and manage risks, the Company’s Board of Directors has oversight responsibility for the Company’s risk management processes. In carrying out its oversight responsibility, the Board of Directors has delegated to individual committees certain elements of its risk oversight function. This oversight is administered primarily through the following:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

From time to time, Emerson engages in business transactions with its controlling shareholder, Grande,stockholder, Nimble, and itsone or more of Nimble’s direct and indirect subsidiaries (together “Grande”).subsidiaries. Set forth below is a summary of such transactions.

Controlling ShareholderStockholder

The Grande Holdings Limited (In Liquidation) (“Grande”) has, together with S&T, International Distribution Limited (“S&T”),which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grande, and Grande N.A.K.S. Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Grande (together with Grande, the “Reporting Persons”), filed, on July 9, 2014, a Schedule 13D/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) stating that, as of the filing date, the Reporting Persons hadNimble, collectively have the shared power to vote and direct the disposition of 15,243,283 shares, or approximately 56.2%64.6%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of Emerson. AsFebruary 14, 2018. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons, and by extension Grande (as their ultimate parent) have control of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock of Emerson, EmersonCompany is a Controlled company,“controlled company” as defined in Section 801(a) of the NYSE MKT Rules.

On May 31, 2011, upon application of a major creditor, the High Court of Hong Kong appointed Fok Hei Yu (who is also known by the anglicized name Vincent Fok), formerly a director and Chairman of the Board of theAmerican Company and Roderick John Sutton, both of FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (“FTI”), as Joint and Several Provisional Liquidators over Grande. Accordingly, as of May 31, 2011, the directors of Grande no longer have the ability to exercise control over Grande or the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. Instead, Mr. Fok and Mr. Sutton, as Provisional Liquidator over Grande, currently have such power. In addition, on March 20, 2013, the Provisional Liquidators provided to Emerson a written statement that they are obligated to liquidate the 15,243,283 shares in the Company beneficially owned by Grande. However, in February 2014, the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement that Grande, among other things, had been in discussions with different investors to pursue a restructuring plan and the resumption of trading of Grande’s shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKSE”). In addition, in May 2014, the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that on May 2, 2014, Grande, the Provisional Liquidators and a creditor of Grande entered into an agreement to implement the “Grande Restructuring Proposal” submitted by a creditor of Grande. Based on information contained within the public announcement issued for Grande in May 2014, if the Grande Restructuring Proposal is implemented, Mr. Christopher Ho, who served as the Company’s Chairman of the Board until November 2013 and was the sole director of Grande until February 19, 2016, and his associates would continue to have a majority interest in Grande and would regain the power to direct the voting and disposition of the 15,243,283 shares beneficially owned by Grande. On February 21, 2016, the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that effective February 19, 2016, Mr. Christopher Ho resigned as Grande’s sole director and that Mr. Eduard Will, who served as a director of Emerson Radio from 2008 until November 2013, and Mr. Tang Hoi Nam were appointed as directors of Grande. As disclosed in the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Reporting Persons on May 22, 2014, the Grande Restructuring Proposal includes a plan to re-list Grande on the HKSE and provides that many assets of Grande, including its shares of Emerson, would remain part of Grande. According to the public announcement issued for Grande in May 2014, the Grande Restructuring Plan will require approvals, consents and sanctions of the HKSE, courts in Hong Kong and Bermuda, and the creditors and shareholders of Grande. In addition, on June 11, 2014, Grande announced that it had received a summons issued by a creditor of Grande seeking the removal of the Provisional Liquidators. On June 1, 2015 the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf

of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that by letter dated May 29, 2015, the HKSE decided to allow Grande to proceed with Grande’s “Updated Resumption Proposal”, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions by December 21, 2015. On December 22, 2015 the Provisional Liquidators for and on behalf of Grande issued a public announcement disclosing that by letter dated December 22, 2015, the HKSE decided to extend the deadline for Grande to fully satisfy these conditions to May 11, 2016.

It is not possible at this time to predict whether Grande can satisfy the conditions established by the HKSE for the resumption or relisting of Grande on HKSE, or whether the Grande Restructuring Proposal will receive all necessary approvals, nor can there be any assurances regarding the timing, terms or effects of implementing the Grande Restructuring Proposal or if the Provisional Liquidators will be removed. However, even though the Provisional Liquidators continue to maintain the ability to exercise the power to direct the voting and disposition of shares, as long as the Provisional Liquidators are pursuing this restructuring proposal that would result in Grande retaining beneficial ownership of the 15,243,283 shares of Emerson common stock, the Provisional Liquidators may not be actively seeking to liquidate those shares. If the Grande Restructuring Proposal is completed as described within the public announcement issued for Grande in May 2014, it is expected that the 15,243,283 shares of Emerson common stock held of record by Grande’s subsidiary, S&T, would remain with S&T and that Grande would once again have the power to direct the voting and disposition of this 56.2% controlling interest in Emerson common stock. It is not possible at this time to predict what impact the removal of the Provisional Liquidators would have on the Grande Restructuring Proposal or Emerson and Emerson cannot predict nor provide any assurances regarding the possible effects on the Company, its shareholders, the trading price of its common stock or any other consequences that could result if the Grande Restructuring Proposal is approved and Grande again has the power to control Emerson.Guide.

Related Party Transactions

Dividend-Related Issues withReturn of Pledged Collateral to S&T

On March 2, 2010,In April 2016, the Board declared an extraordinary dividend of $1.10 per common share which was paid on March 24, 2010. In connection with the Company’s determination as to the taxability of the dividend, the Board relied upon information and research provided to it by the Company’s tax advisors and, in reliance on the “stock-for-debt” exception in the Internal Revenue Code Sections 108(e)(8) and (e)(10), concluded that 4.9% of such dividend paid was taxable to the recipients.

In August 2012, the Company, received a Form 886-A from the IRS which challenges the Company’s conclusions and determines that the Company does not qualify for the above-referenced exception. Accordingly, the IRS has concluded that 100% of the dividend paid was taxable to the recipients. The Company is defending its position and calculations and is contesting the position asserted by the IRS. The Company prepared and, on October 25, 2012, delivered its rebuttal to the IRS contesting the IRS determination. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in defending its position.

In the event that the Company is not successful in establishing with the IRS that the Company’s calculations were correct, then the shareholders who received the dividend likely will be subject to and liable for an assessment of additional taxes due. Moreover, the Company may be contingently liable for taxes due by certain of its shareholders resulting from the dividend paid by the Company.

Initially, the Company withheld from the dividend paid to foreign shareholders an amount equal to the tax liability associated with such dividend. On April 7, 2010, upon a request made by S&T, considered and agreed to return to S&T the $500,000 of collateral which S&T had paid to the Company by its foreign controlling shareholder,in September 2014 as part of the indemnification agreement between S&T, Nimble and the Company entered intopertaining to an agreement with S&T (the “Agreement”), wherebyInternal Revenue Service challenge of the Company’s March 31, 2010 earnings and profits calculations underlying the taxability of a dividend paid during March 2010 to all of it stockholders, net of the $79,000 in expenses incurred by the Company returnedin defending the IRS challenge. On April 29, 2016, the Company paid $421,000 to S&T on April 7, 2010 that portionto effectuate the release of the funds withheld for taxes from the dividend paid on March 24, 2010 to S&T, which the Company believed was not subject to U.S. tax based on the Company’s good-faith estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits at that time. The Agreement includes provisions pursuant to which S&T agreed to indemnify the Company for any liability imposed on it as a resultcollateral net of the Company’s agreement not to withhold such funds for S&T’s possible tax liability and a pledge of stock as collateral. The Company continues to assert that such dividend is largely not subject to U.S. tax based on the Company’s good-faith estimate of its accumulated earnings and profits. In addition, the Company also continues to assert that this transaction results in an off-balance sheet arrangement and a possible contingent tax liability of the Company, which, if recognized, would be offsetaforementioned expenses incurred by the calling by the Company on S&T of the indemnification provisions of the Agreement.

In February 2011, upon the request of S&T to the Company, the Company and S&T agreed that the collateral pledged as a part of the Agreement would no longer be required and such collateral was returned by the Company to S&T in March 2011 and the Agreement was amended and restated to remove the collateral requirement but retain the indemnification provisions. The Agreement, as amended (the “Amended Agreement”), remains in effect as of today.

In September 2014, the Company, with S&T’s consent, withheld $0.5 million in cash, to be pledged as collateral against the Amended Agreement, from the dividend paid to S&T onCompany. From September 30, 2014 along with such dividend paid on that date to all common stockholders. The Company held, as ofthrough March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2015, $0.5 million in cash2016, this pledged collateral from S&T against the Amended Agreement. In the event that (i) the Company is not successful in establishing with the IRS that the Company’s calculations were correct and (ii) S&T is unable or unwilling to pay the additional taxes due or indemnify the Company under the terms of the Amended Agreement, the Company may be liable to pay such additional taxes, which, together with penalties and interest, are currently estimated by the Company to be approximately $4.9 million as of December 31, 2015, $0.5 million of which is collateralized in cash heldhad been recorded by the Company as of December 31, 2015. Any such liability, should it be required to be recognized by the Company, would likely have a material adverse effectrestricted cash on the Company’s results of operations in the period recognized. S&T is a subsidiary of Grande, which is currently in liquidation (as described above). Therefore, the ability of the Company to enforce its rights to indemnification under the Amended Agreement and to collect from S&T any additional taxes, interest and penalties due may be severely impaired.balance sheet.
