VOTING INFORMATION

Who can vote?

You may vote if you were a shareholder of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2019.June 22, 2020. This date is known as the record date. You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock you held on that date on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. As of May 6, 2019,June 22, 2020, 5,153,706 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were issued and outstanding.

How many votes are needed to hold the Annual Meeting?

To take any action at the Annual Meeting, a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote as of May 6, 2019,June 22, 2020, must be represented, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. This is called a quorum.

What is a proxy?

A “proxy” allows someone else to vote your shares on your behalf. Our Board of Directors is asking you to allow the people named on the proxy card (David Mintz and Steven Kass) to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

How do I vote by proxy?

Shareholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If on May 6, 2019June 22, 2020 your shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote your shares by completing and returning the enclosed printed proxy card.

When a proxy card is returned properly signed and dated, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy card. If a shareholder returns a signed proxy card but does not mark the boxes, the shares represented by that proxy card will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. If a shareholder does not return a signed proxy card or does not attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, his or her shares will not be voted. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are not counted in determining outcomes of matters being acted upon. They are counted only for determining a meeting quorum. If a shareholder attends the Annual Meeting, he or she may vote by ballot.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank

If on May 6, 2019June 22, 2020 your shares were held not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and the Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered to be the shareholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent regarding how to vote the shares in your account. Simply follow the voting instructions provided to ensure that your vote is counted. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Can I change my vote after I submit my proxy?

Yes. You can change or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by submitting another proxy with a later date or attending the meeting and voting in accordance with the instructions below. You also may send a written notice of revocation to Tofutti Brands Inc. 50 Jackson Drive, Cranford, New Jersey 07016, Attention: Steven Kass, Secretary.

Can I vote in person at the Annual Meeting instead of voting by proxy?

Yes. However, we encourage you to vote your shares at your earliest convenience to ensure that your shares are represented and voted. If you vote your shares by proxy and later decide you would like to attend the meeting and vote your shares in person, you will need to provide a written notice of revocation to the secretary of the meeting before your proxy is voted. If the holder of record of your shares is a broker, bank or other nominee and you wish to vote in person at the meeting, you must request a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares and present that proxy and proof of identification at the Annual Meeting. If you would like to obtain directions to be able to attend the meeting and vote in person, please contact the Company at (908) 272-2400.272-2400.

What are the Board of Directors’ recommendations on how I should vote my stock?

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares as follows:

Proposal 1 – “FOR” the election of each of the directors.

Proposal 2 –“FOR”the advisory vote to approve executive compensation. (“Say on Pay Vote”).

Proposal 3 – “FOR” the ratification of the selection of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019.January 2, 2021.

What if I do not specify how I want my stock voted?

If you are a record holder who returns a completed proxy card that does not specify how you want to vote your stock on one or more proposals, the proxies will vote your shares for each proposal as to which you provide no voting instructions, and such shares will be voted in the following manner:

Proposal 1 – “FOR” the election of each of the directors.

Proposal 2 –“FOR”the advisory vote to approve executive compensation. (“Say on Pay Vote”).

Proposal 3 – “FOR” the ratification the selection of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019.January 2, 2021.

If you are a “street name” holder and do not provide voting instructions on one or more proposals, your bank, broker or other nominee will be unable to vote those shares, except with respect to the ratification of the selection of EisnerAmper as our independent registered public accounting firm. See “How are votes counted?”

How are votes counted?

Except as noted, all proxies received will be counted in determining whether a quorum exists and whether we have obtained the necessary number of votes to approve each proposal. An abstention from voting will be used for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but for purposes of determining the outcome of the proposal as to which the proxy is marked “abstain,” the shares represented by such proxy will not be treated as affirmative votes.

A broker non-vote will also be used for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but will not otherwise be counted in the voting process. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any of the matters being voted on at the Annual Meeting. Generally, broker non-votes occur when shares held by a broker for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (i) the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (ii) the broker lacks discretionary voting power to vote such shares.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

To be elected a director, each nominee must receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting for the election of directors. An affirmative majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the appointment of auditors. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted in determining the number of shares voted for or against any nominee for director or any proposal.

Our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, David Mintz, holds 2,630,440 shares of common stock representing approximately 51.0% of the outstanding shares, permitting him to elect all the members of the Board of Directors and thereby effectively control the business, policies and management of our Company. Mr. Mintz has indicated that he presently intends to vote in favor of both of the resolutions on the agenda for the Annual Meeting.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the costs of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy materials. We will provide copies of proxy materials to fiduciaries, custodians and brokerage houses to forward to the beneficial owners of shares held in their name. We may reimburse such fiduciaries, custodians and brokers for their costs in forwarding the proxy materials.

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, certain of our officers and other employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone, facsimile, email or other means. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services.

Board of Directors and Committees

Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board of Directors, composed of four non-employee directors and one employee director as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Our Board of Directors as a whole establishes our overall policies and standards, reviews the performance of management and considers our overall risk regarding our operations and goals and how those risks are being managed. Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of our operations at meetings of the Board of Directors and its Audit Committee and through reports and discussions with management. In addition, members of the Board of Directors periodically visit our facilities. Members of management are available at Board of Directors meetings and at other times to answer questions and to discuss issues. David Mintz, the Chief Executive Officer of our company, is Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our company combined the positions of CEO and Chairman of the Board because of the size of the company and the efficiency involved. A lead independent director has not been designated because the Board does not believe it is warranted for a company of our size and complexity.

Director Meetings and Committees

Our Board of Directors held three meetings during 2018.2019. Messrs. Mintz, Axelrod, Himy and Korman attended three meetings and Mr. Snitow did not attend any meetings.attended one meeting. We do not have a policy with regard to directors’ attendance at annual meetings of shareholders, but we encourage our directors to attend the annual meetings. At our 20182019 annual meeting of shareholders, four of the five directors in office were present and in attendance.

Our Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, but there are no committees performing the functions of either a compensation committee or nominating committee. Our Audit Committee held four meetings during 2018.2019.

Nominations Process, Executive Compensation; Director Independence; Board Diversity

It is the position of our Board of Directors that it is not necessary for our company to have a separate nominating and compensation committee in light of the “ Controlled“Controlled Company” status of our company, the composition of our Board of Directors and the collective independence of our independent directors, which enable the company to fulfill the functions of standing committees.

Candidates for independent Board members have typically been found through recommendations from directors or other individuals associated with us. Our shareholders may also recommend candidates by sending the candidate’s name and resume to the Board of Directors under the provisions set forth below for communication with our Board. No such suggestions from our shareholders were received in time for our Annual Meeting. We have no predefined minimum criteria for selecting Board nominees and do not have a formal diversity policy, although we believe that the independent directors should have a range of relevant experience, independence, diversity and strong communication and analytical skills. In any given search, our independent directors may also define particular characteristics for candidates to balance the overall skills and characteristics of our Board and our perceived needs. However, during any search, our independent directors reserve the right to modify its stated search criteria for exceptional candidates.

We currently have only two executive officers, and our Board as a whole, but without Mr. Mintz in attendance, sets their compensation. In setting compensation, the Board reviews and considers prior compensation levels of the two executive officers, the contribution of each executive officer during the course of the year and our financial condition and prospects for the upcoming year. The Board determines the amount of cash (or any other compensation) to be paid to our directors. Our non-employee directors earned director compensation in fiscal year 20182019 based on the number of meetings attended.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Axelrod, Himy and Snitow.Korman. Our Board of Directors has determined that all of our current Audit Committee members are independent, as that term is defined under the independence standards for audit committee members in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board of Directors has also determined that Neal S. Axelrod is an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and helping to ensure the integrity of our financial statements. Among other matters, the Audit Committee, with management and our independent auditors, reviews the adequacy of our internal accounting controls that could significantly affect our financial statements, reviews with the independent accountants the scope of their audit, their report and their recommendations, and recommends the selection of our independent accountants. The Audit Committee held four meetings in addition to the meetings of the entire Board of Directors during 2018.2019. Messrs. Axelrod, Himy and HimyKorman attended all of those meetings, and Mr. Snitow attended none. The Board of Directors adopted and maintains a written charter for the Audit Committee which is published on the investor relations page of our website (www.tofutti.com).

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to directors, officers, employees and agents of our company. We have also adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Officers, which applies to our chief executive officer, and all senior financial officers of our company, including the chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

PROPOSAL II

TO APPROVE, BY NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE, THE RESOLUTION

APPROVING NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

We are asking that our shareholders approve a non-binding advisory resolution on the named executive officer compensation as reported in this Proxy Statement.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, and as a matter of good corporate governance, the Company is asking shareholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Tofutti Brands Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement, including as discussed in the section entitled “Executive Compensation,” the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” resolution, is non-binding on the Board of Directors. Although non-binding, the Board of Directors will carefully review and consider the voting results when evaluating our named executive officer compensation program.

At our 2013 annual meeting, a majority of our shareholders voted in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every three years as recommended by the Board. Unless the Board modifies its policy on the frequency of holding “say on pay” advisory votes, the next “say on pay” advisory vote and “say on pay” frequency vote will occur at the 2022 annual meeting.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority in voting interest of the shares of stock entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting, present in person or by proxy are required for approval of this proposal.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the foregoing proposal.

PROPOSAL III

Our Board of Directors believes that EisnerAmper LLP has the necessary knowledge of our operations, and the personnel, professional qualifications and independence to act as our independent registered public accountants.

In the event this resolution does not receive the necessary votes for adoption, or if for any reason EisnerAmper LLP ceases to act as our independent registered public accountants, the Board of Directors will appoint other independent registered public accountants.

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year, and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The Audit Committee has delegated the pre-approval authority to its chairperson when expedition of services is necessary. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full 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.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accountants. Our Audit Committee has established a policy for pre-approving the services provided by our independent registered public accountants in accordance with the auditor independence rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The policy is designed to ensure that the Audit Committee will not delegate to management the Audit Committee’s responsibilities, including the pre-approval of services to be performed by the independent registered public accountants.

The policy requires the review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accountants. A proposed service may either be pre-approved by the Audit Committee, or otherwise requires the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee, on a case-by-case basis. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved levels will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The term of any general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. Our Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent registered public accountants without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may add to or deduct from the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. Our Audit Committee will monitor the audit services engagement on a quarterly basis and will also approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, company structure or other items. Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted by our Chief Financial Officer to our Audit Committee.

All of the audit services provided by the independent registered public accountants in fiscal year 2018 were approved by the Audit Committee under its pre-approval policies, and the Audit Committee has determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining EisnerAmper’s independence.
