If a proxy innotice of, and to vote at, the accompanying formAnnual Meeting. On that date, the Company had 5,183,895 shares of its common stock outstanding and entitled to vote.

Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder prior to its exercise upon written notice to the President of the Company, or by a stockholder voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

One-third of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes occur when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine,” except for Proposal 2 – the ratification of the appointment of Pivot CPAs as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. In tabulating the voting result for each proposal (except Proposal 2), shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present with respect to that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained.

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 Proposal 1 - Election of Directors).

Proxy Voting

Shares that are properly voted via the Internet, mobile device, or by telephone or for which proxy cards are properly executed proxies received prior to the Annual Meetingand returned will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereondirections given or, otherwise as provided therein.

It is not expected that any additional matters will be brought before the Annual Meeting, but if other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card or their substitutes will vote in their discretion on such matters.

The manner in which your shares may be voted depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your shares are represented by certificates or book entries in your name so that you appear as a stockholder on the Audit Committeerecords of theAmerican Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, a proxy card for voting those shares will be included with this Proxy Statement.

The Board of Directors urges you to promptly date, sign and mail your proxy or to use the internet voting system set forth in the proxy, in the form enclosed with this Proxy Statement, to make certain that your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting. Proxies in the enclosed or other acceptable form that are received in time for the Annual Meeting will be voted.

Attendance and Voting at the Annual Meeting

If you own common stock of record, you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, regardless of whether you have previously voted by proxy card or by internet. If you own common stock in street name, you may attend the Annual Meeting but in order to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank or brokerage firm that holds your shares. You should contact your bank or brokerage account representative to learn how to obtain a legal proxy. We encourage you to vote your shares in advance of the Annual Meeting, even if you plan on attending the Annual Meeting. If you have already voted prior to the Annual Meeting, you may nevertheless change or revoke your vote at the Annual Meeting in the manner described below.

Revocation of Proxy

If you own common stock of record, you may revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions at any time before your shares are voted at the Annual Meeting by delivering to the Secretary of the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy (via the Internet, mobile device, or telephone or by returning a proxy card) bearing a later date or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. A shareholder owning common stock in street name may revoke or change voting instructions by contacting the bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee holding the shares or by obtaining a legal proxy from such institution and voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

PROPOSAL NO. 1:CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General

Article III, Section 1 of the Company’s By-Laws provides that the Company’s Board of Directors shall consist of a minimum of five (5) and a maximum of nine (9) directors divided into three (3) classes of directors ("Class I", "Class II", and "Class III"), with each class having as nearly the same number of directors as practicable. Stockholders elect such class of directors, Class I, Class II, or Class III, as the case may be, to succeed such class directors whose terms are expiring, for a three (3) year term, and such class of directors shall serve until the successors are elected and qualify. Under this configuration, it is intended that one class of directors’ terms will expire each year resulting in staggered elections of the Company’s directors. At last year’s annual meeting the term of the Company’s Class lI Directors expired. As a result, at last year’s annual meeting Ronald L. McDaniel and D. Roger Griffin were elected as Class lI Directors.

The following is the apportionment of the existing directors into classes:

Unless authority is withheld, the proxies in the accompanying form will be voted in favor of the election of William E. Nielsen, John J. Martorana, and Lael E. Boren as Class lll Directors. If Mr. Nielsen, Mr. Martorana, or Mr. Boren should subsequently become unavailable for election prior to the Annual Meeting, the persons voting the accompanying proxy may in their discretion vote for a substitute.

Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has the responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for the overall performance of the Company. Although only twoTwo (2) members of the Board also serve as executive officers and are involved in day-to-day operating details of the Company. The other members of the Board are kept informed of the Company's business by various reports and documents sent to them as well as by operating and financial reports made at Board meetings. The Board of Directors held two (2) meetingsone (1) meeting in Fiscal 2015. Two2018. No directors were absent at twoany of the meetings of the Board of Directors during Fiscal 2015.2018.

It is anticipated that all of its directors will attend this year’s Annual Meeting.Meeting of Stockholders.

Independence of Directors

The Company’s securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system that requires that a majority of the Board be independent. However, for purposes of determining whether the Company’s directors are independent for purposes of this Proxy Statement, the Company is using the independencestandards set forth in the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Marketto evaluate the independence of our Board. 

Rule 5605 (b) (1) of The NasdaqNASDAQ Stock Market Rules (the “NASDAQ Rules”) requires that a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors be independent in that they are not officers or employees of the Company and are free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment.

The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that threeone of the Company’s eightsix Directors, Ronald L. McDaniel, John J.Mr. Martorana and Matthew M. Price are independent.is independent under this NASDAQ Rule. In reaching this determination, the Board applied the standards set forth for “independence” in Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Rules, Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.NASDAQ Rules.

Although less than fifty (50%) percent of the Company’s Directorsdirectors are independent, NASDAQ Rule 5615(c)(2) provides an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the Company’s Directors be independent if the Company is considered a “controlled company”.company.” A controlled company is defined in NASDAQ Rule 5615(c)(1) as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, a group or another company. As the Estate of Leland E. Boren beneficially owns and controls more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s’ common stock, the Company iswould be considered a “controlled company” under the applicable NASDAQ Rule (if its securities were traded on NASDAQ) and as such iswould be exempt from certain of the corporate governance rules of The NasdaqNASDAQ Stock Market, such as the requirement that the board of directors consist of a majority of independent directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financing and accounting officer and directors. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.int-baler.com. In addition, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available in print to any stockholder who requests it by contacting our Corporate Secretary. The Company will disclose any amendments to, or waivers, from the Code of Ethics on our website (www.int-baler.com) within four business days of such determination.

CommitteesBoard Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors has no policy regarding the need to separate or combine the offices of Chairman of the Board and Principal Executive Officer and instead the Board of Directors remains free to make this determination from time to time in a manner that seems most appropriate for the Company. Currently, the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer are separate at the Company. Mr. McDaniel serves as our Chairman and Mr. Biazis serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer. At this time, the Company believes this segregation allows the Board of Directors to effectively provide guidance to and oversight of its management.

Board Oversight of Enterprise Risk

The Board of Directors is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through the committees of the Board of Directors identified below but the full Board of Directors has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the risk management function, specifically with respect to management's assessment of risk exposures (including risks related to liquidity, credit, operations and regulatory compliance, among others), and the processes in place to monitor and control such exposures. The other committees of the Board of Directors consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board of Directors satisfies their oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee's considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

Committees

The Board has a standing Audit Committee and Compensation Committee. The full Board performs the functions of the Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee primarily assists our Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing our financial reporting and audit processes and our systems of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls. In fiscal 2018, Mr. McDaniel and Mr. Boren were members of the Company’s Audit Committee. Neither Mr. McDaniel nor Mr. Boren is an independent director under the NASDAQ or SEC rules. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. McDaniel has the attributes, education and experience as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407) of Regulation S-K. The Audit Committee held one meeting during fiscal 2018.

The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available at the Company’s website, www.Intl-baler.com and is also available in print to any stockholder upon request from the Corporate Secretary. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the Audit Committee Charter annually.

Compensation Committee

The Company’s Board of Directors maintains a Compensation Committee. Because the Company would be considered a “controlled company” if its securities were trading on NASDAQ, it would be exempt from the compensation committee requirement under the NASDAQ rules. During fiscal 2018, Mr. Boren, Mr. Martorana and Mr. McDaniel were members of the Company’s Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee held one meeting in Fiscal 2018. The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Martorana meets the additional independence criteria applicable to compensation committee members under the NASDAQ Rules. The Compensation Committee’s functions, in conjunction with the Board of Directors, are to provide recommendations with respect to, general and specific compensation policies and practices of the Company for directors, officers and other employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee expects to periodically review the approach to executive compensation and to make changes as competitive conditions and other circumstances warrant and will seek to ensure the Company's compensation philosophy is consistent with the Company's best interests and is properly implemented.

The Committee determines or recommends to the Board of Directors for determination the specific compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and all of the Company’s other officers. Although the Committee may seek the input of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in determining the compensation of the Company’s other executive officers, the Chief Executive Officer may not be present during the voting or deliberations with respect to his compensation. The Compensation Committee met one time in Fiscal 2018. The Compensation Committee has determined that no risks exist rising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices for its employees that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Committee has the authority to retain a compensation consultant or other advisors to assist it in the evaluation of compensation and has the sole authority to approve the fees and other terms of retention of such consultants and advisors and to terminate their services. To date, the Committee has not retained any such consultants or advisors to assist it, although it may do so in the future if it deems it necessary. The Compensation Committee has adopted a Compensation Committee Charter which is available at the Company’s website atwww.Intl-baler.com.

Nominating Committee

Because the Company iswould be considered a “controlled company” if it were listed on NASDAQ, it is exempt from the nominating committee requirements under the NASDAQ Rules. Therefore, the Company does not have a standing nominating committee or a nominating committee charter. However, the full Board of Directors performs the functions of a nominating committee pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. The Board identifies the candidates for Board membership. In identifying candidates, the Board will seek recommendations from existing Board members, executive officers of the Company and all persons who own more than five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding stock.securities. The Board has no stated specific minimum qualifications that must be met by a candidate for a position on the Board of Directors. The Board will considerWhile the Nominating Committee does not have a varietyformal policy on diversity, when considering the selection of factors in evaluatingdirector nominees, the qualifications of a candidate including the candidate’sNominating Committee considers individuals with diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, accomplishments, cultural background and professional experience, educational background, knowledge of the Company’s business and personal qualities.expertise, among other factors. The Board may, when appropriate, retain an executive search firm and other advisors to assist it in identifying candidates for the Board.

In addition, the Board will consider any candidates that may have been recommended by any of the Company’s stockholders who have made those recommendations in accordance with the procedures described below underin the heading “Stockholders’ Proposals.”Company’s Bylaws. In addition, such stockholder recommendations must be accompanied by (1) such information about each prospective director nominee as would have been required to be included in a proxy statementProxy Statement filed pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC had the prospective director nominee been nominated by the Board of Directors and (2) that the prospective director nominee has consented to be named, if nominated, as a nominee and, if elected, to serve as a director.

STOCKHOLDERS'PROPOSAL NO. 3:

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Background

The Dodd-Frank Act requires all public companies to hold a separate non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation disclosed in this Proxy Statement of the Company’s executive officers who are named in the Summary Compensation Table (commonly known as the “Say on Pay” proposal). The Company has disclosed the compensation of the Named Executive Officers pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC.

Executive Compensation

The Board of Directors believes that our executive compensation programs are designed to secure and retain the services of high quality executives and provide compensation to our executives that are commensurate and aligned with our performances and advances both short and long-term interest of ours and our stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that our compensation program for our executive officers is appropriate based upon our preface and the individual performance and level of responsibility of the executive officer.

This advisory stockholder’s vote gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to approve the compensation of the Named Executive Officers that is disclosed in this Proxy Statement’s Summary Compensation Table and all other executive compensation tables and related narrative disclosure.

This Say on Pay Proposal is set forth in the following resolution:

"RESOLVED, that the stockholders of International Baler Corporation approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of its Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in International Baler Corporation’s Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables and any related information found in the Proxy Statement of International Baler Corporation.

Because your vote on this proposal is advisory, it is not binding on the Board. However, the Board values the opinion of our stockholders and will take into account the result of the vote when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

Vote Required and Recommendation

The advisory vote on the Say on Pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote on the matter. Shares voted as abstaining will count as votes cast. Accordingly, an abstention from voting by a stockholder present in person or by proxy at the meeting has the same legal effect as a vote "against" Proposal No. 3 because it represents a share present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, thereby increasing the number of affirmative votes required to approve this proposal.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” for the Say on Pay proposal.

PROPOSAL FOUR
FREQUENCY OF FUTURE SAY ON PAY ADVISORY VOTES

Background

The Dodd-Frank act also requires all public companies to hold a separate non-binding advisory shareholder vote with respect to the frequency of the vote on the Say on Pay proposal thereafter. Companies must give stockholders the choice of whether to cast an advisory vote on the Say on Pay proposal every year, every two years, or every three years (common known as the “Frequency Vote on Say on Pay.”) Stockholders may also abstain from making a choice, pursuant to the proposed rules recently issued by the SEC. After such initial votes are held, the Dodd-Frank Act requires all public companies to submit to their stockholders no less often than every six years thereafter the Frequency Vote on Say on Pay. Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are holding a separate non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of Say on Pay in future years at the Annual Meeting.

Frequency Vote on Say on Pay

As discussed above, the Board of Directors believe that our executive compensation programs are designed to secure and retain the services of high quality executives and provide compensation to our executives that are commensurate and aligned with our performances and advances both short and long-term interests of ours and our stockholders. The Board of Directors believes that giving our stockholders the right to cast an advisory vote every three years on their approval of the compensation arrangements of our Named Executive Officers provides the Board of Directors sufficient time to thoughtfully evaluate and response to shareholder input and effectively implement changes, as needed, to our executive compensation program.

Although the Board of Directors recommends that the Say on Pay proposal be voted on every three years, our stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices on the frequency of the vote on the Say on Pay Proposal as follows: (i) one year, (ii) two years, (iii) three years or (iv) abstain. Nevertheless, the Board of Directors will take into account the outcome this advisory vote when considering how frequently to seek an advisory vote on Say on Pay in future years.

This advisory vote on the frequency of the say-on-pay vote is not binding on the Board. However, the Board values the opinion of our Stockholders and will take into account the result of the vote when determining the frequency of future say-on-pay votes.

Required Vote

The option receiving the highest number of votes will be deemed to be the preferred frequency of our stockholders.

The Board of Directors recommends the selection of every “THREE YEARS” as your preference for the frequency with which shareholders are provided an advisory vote on Say on Pay.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

We will pay all of the costs of soliciting these proxies. In addition to solicitation by mail, our employees, officers and directors may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies by mail, e-mail, and facsimile, in person or by telephone or other forms of telecommunication. We will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward these proxy materials to their principals and to obtain authority to execute proxies. We will then reimburse them for their expenses.

HOUSE HOLDING of Annual Disclosure Documents

Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “house holding” Proxy Statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of the Company’s Proxy Statement and annual report may have been sent to multiple shareholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if you write to our Corporate Secretary at 5400 Rio Grande Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32254. If you want to receive separate copies of the Proxy Statement and our annual report in the future, of if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy for your householder, you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee record holder, or you may contact us at the above address.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board knows of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other business is properly brought before the Annual Meeting, it is intended that proxies in the enclosed form will be voted in respect thereof in accordance with the best judgment and in the discretion of the persons voting the proxies.
