TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
ITEMS TO BE VOTED ON
Proposal One: Election of Directors
The Board of Directors currently consists of seven members. Previously, the Board was divided into three classes and the members of each class served staggered, three-year terms. However, in March 2021, our Bylaws were amended to provide for the phased declassification of the Board commencing with the elections held at the 2021 Annual Meeting. As a result, directors elected at the 2021 Annual Meeting were elected for one-year terms expiring in 2022. At the 2022 Annual Meeting, the directors re-elected in 2021 and the directors up for election at the 2022 meeting were elected for one-year terms expiring at the 2023 Annual Meeting; and, at the 2023 Annual Meeting, all seven directors are up for election for one-year terms and the declassification is complete.
The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee has recommended, and the Board of Directors has nominated, the following nominees for election: John W. Florsheim, Frederick P. Stratton, Jr., Cory L. Nettles, Tina Chang, Thomas W. Florsheim, Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr., and Robert Feitler, all of whom are current directors of the Company.
A majority of the votes entitled to be cast by outstanding shares of common stock, represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our common stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. “Plurality” means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. Consequently, any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker nonvote or otherwise) have no impact in the election of directors except to the extent the failure to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a comparatively larger number of votes. Votes “against” a candidate are given no legal effect and are not counted as votes cast in an election of directors. Votes will be tabulated by an inspector at the meeting.
If any of the nominees should decline or be unable to act as a director, which is not expected, the proxies will be voted with discretionary authority by the persons named to vote in the proxy for a substitute nominee designated by the Board of Directors.
Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. and John W. Florsheim are brothers, and their father is Thomas W. Florsheim. There are no other family relationships between any of our directors.
The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of
Tina Chang, Robert Feitler, John W. Florsheim, Thomas W. Florsheim, Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr.,
Cory L. Nettles, and Frederick P. Stratton, Jr.
Information regarding the nominees, including the particular skills, qualifications and other attributes that we believe qualify each to serve on our Board, is set forth below as well as in “Board Information —  Composition of the Board of Directors.” For additional information regarding the criteria to evaluate Board membership, see “Board Information — Nomination of Director Candidates” below.

Proposal Two: Ratification of the Appointment of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Year Ending December 31, 2023
Baker Tilly US, LLP has audited our financial statements since 2015. The Audit Committee appointed them as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. In making its decision to reappoint Baker Tilly US, LLP for 2023, the Audit Committee considered the qualifications, performance and independence of Baker Tilly US, LLP and the audit engagement team, as well as the fees charged for services provided.
We ask that you ratify the appointment of Baker Tilly US, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. Representatives of Baker Tilly US, LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Although not required by law to submit the appointment to a vote by shareholders, the Audit Committee and the Board believe it is appropriate, as a matter of policy, to request that the shareholders ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for 2023.
6

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
If the appointment is not ratified, the adverse vote will be considered as an indication to the Audit Committee that it should consider selecting another independent registered public accounting firm for the following year. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it believes that such a change would be in the Company’s best interest.
The ratification of Baker Tilly US, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023, will be determined by a majority of the shares voting on such matter, assuming a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect this vote, except insofar as they reduce the number of shares that are voted.
The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of
Baker Tilly US, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm
for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Proposal Three: Advisory Vote on the Compensation of our Named Executive Officers
As required by Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we seek your advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. The compensation is to be approved pursuant to the following resolution: “RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, is hereby approved.” We disclose that information under the heading “Executive Compensation” herein. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on the Board or the Company. However, the Board and the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
The Board of Directors has determined to hold advisory votes on executive compensation once every three years. Accordingly, the next advisory vote on executive compensation will occur at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, unless the Board of Directors modifies its policy on the frequency of holding such advisory votes.
Our executive compensation program is designed to provide a fair and competitive compensation package to each of our executive officers without encouraging unnecessary risk-taking. At the core of our executive compensation program is a balance between short-term and longer-term compensation opportunities to ensure that we meet short-term objectives while continuing to produce value for our shareholders over the long-term. We believe the compensation for our named executive officers is conservative yet is designed to promote a compensation program to attract, motivate and retain key executives.
“Total maximum compensation” consists of an executive’s annual base salary, the maximum annual performance-based cash bonus, and the long-term stock-based awards. Approximately 30-50% of the “total maximum compensation” for our named executive officers is at-risk. The maximum annual performance-based cash bonus is based solely on the achievement of financial goals set by the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee, and the long-term stock-based awards, subject to time-based vesting requirements, are tied to the long-term performance of our stock. We believe the long-term awards ensure that a significant portion of the executive’s compensation is aligned with the interests of shareholders and encourages officer retention.
We believe the compensation of our named executive officers is appropriately tied to the achievement of our business goals and the success of our shareholders. If the value to our shareholders declines, so does the compensation to our named executive officers.
The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.
Assuming a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, this non-binding advisory vote approving the compensation of our named executive officers will be approved if the votes in favor of this proposal exceed the against it. Abstentions and broker nonvotes will not affect the outcome of this proposal, except insofar as they reduce the number of shares that are voted.

TABLE OF CONTENTS​
Proposal Four: Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Executive Compensation Votes
Pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, we seek your advisory vote with regard to the frequency of future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. When voting on this proposal, you have four choices: you may elect that we hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years, every two years, or every year, or you may abstain from voting. A shareholder advisory vote is not binding; however, the vote is very important to the Board, and it will consider the outcome of the vote when determining the frequency of our future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. We will disclose the frequency of future votes when finalized, which will be determined after the Annual Meeting within the period prescribed by the SEC.
Our executive compensation program is heavily based on the Company’s long-term shareholder value, which is more appropriately reflected in a three-year timeframe. Therefore, the Board believes that providing our shareholders with an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years will encourage a long-term approach to evaluating our executive compensation policies and practices. Focusing on executive compensation over a one or two year period could over emphasize short-term results rather than long-term value creation, which is inconsistent with our executive compensation objectives. Moreover, a short review cycle will not allow for a meaningful evaluation of the Company’s performance against our executive compensation. With that, we ask that you support a frequency of every three years for future non-binding shareholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.
The Board recommends that you vote for a frequency of “THREE YEARS” for future non-binding
shareholder votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.

BOARD INFORMATION
Composition of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors currently has seven members. Previously, the Board was divided into three classes and the members of each class served staggered, three-year terms. However, as discussed in “Proposal One: Election of Directors,” our Bylaws were amended in March 2021 to provide for the phased declassification of the Board. As of the 2023 Annual Meeting, all directors are up for election for one-year terms and the declassification is complete. The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by amending the applicable provision of the Bylaws, but no decrease shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director.
Directors Skills and Diversity Matrix
The matrix below summarizes, as of April 6, 2023, certain key skills, experiences, qualifications, and attributes that our directors and director nominees bring to the Board to enable effective oversight. This matrix is intended to provide a summary of the directors’ qualifications and is not a complete list of each director’s strengths or contributions to the Board.

Meetings
The Board of Directors held four meetings during 2022. All members of the Board of Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the number of meetings of the Board and each committee of the Board on which they served. Our policy is that all directors should attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All Board members attended the Annual Meeting held on May 3, 2022. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, our independent directors have periodic meetings at which only independent directors are present.
Director Independence
Each year, the Board reviews the relationships that each director has with the Company. Only those directors who the Board affirmatively determines have no relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and who do not have any of the categorical relationships that preclude a determination of independence under the Nasdaq listing standards, are considered to be independent directors.
In accordance with the applicable Nasdaq rules, the Board has determined that the following directors qualify as independent directors: Tina Chang, Robert Feitler, Cory L. Nettles, and Frederick P. Stratton, Jr. The Board concluded that none of these directors possessed the categorical relationships set forth in the Nasdaq standards that preclude a determination of independence, and that none of them has any other relationship that the Board believes would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee are comprised solely of directors who have been determined to be independent.
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
We combine the positions of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Our management and Board of Directors currently believe that the Chief Executive Officer’s direct involvement
10

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
in the day-to-day operations of the Company makes him best positioned to lead Board discussions of our short-term and long-term objectives and helps ensure proper oversight of the Company’s risks. Additionally, our Board structure provides oversight by our independent directors. As previously disclosed, the independent directors meet periodically without any members of management present. In addition, each of the Board’s standing committees is chaired by an independent director and both the Audit Committee and the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee are comprised solely of directors who are independent. The Board has not appointed an independent lead director.
Our Board of Directors plays a role in the oversight of risks that could potentially affect the Company, including risks related to cybersecurity and data security. The Board’s Audit Committee fulfills the formal responsibility of financial risk oversight as disclosed in its charter, which is available on our website. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management to review our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee is responsible for the evaluation of risk as it relates to compensation and corporate governance.
Shareholder Communications with the Board
Shareholders wishing to communicate with the Board of Directors or with a particular Board member should address communications to the Board or to a particular Board member, c/o Secretary, Weyco Group, Inc., 333 West Estabrook Boulevard, Glendale, Wisconsin 53212. All communications addressed to the Board or to a particular director or committee will be relayed to that addressee. From time to time, the Board may change the process through which shareholders communicate with the Board. Please refer to our website at www.weycogroup.com for changes in this process.
Nomination of Director Candidates
The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee has established the following Guidelines and Criteria for Nomination of Director Candidates:
•
The Committee will review each candidate’s qualifications in light of the needs of the Board and the Company, considering the current mix of director attributes and other pertinent factors (specific qualities, skills and professional experience required will vary depending on the Company’s specific needs at any point in time).
​
•
The Committee will consider the diversity of the existing Board, so that the Board maintains a body of directors from diverse professional and personal backgrounds.
​
•
There will be no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates candidates recommended by shareholders and candidates identified from other sources.
​
•
Any nominee should be an individual of the highest character and integrity and have an inquiring mind, vision and the ability to work well with others.
​
•
Any nominee should be free of any conflict of interest which would violate any applicable law or regulation or interfere with the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director.
​
•
Any nominee should possess substantial and significant experience which would be of value to the Company in the performance of the duties of a director.
​
•
Any nominee should have sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company in order to carry out the responsibilities of a director.
​

To recommend a candidate, shareholders should write to the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee, Weyco Group, Inc., 333 West Estabrook Boulevard, Glendale, Wisconsin 53212, via certified mail. The written recommendation should include the candidate’s name and address, a brief biographical description and statement of qualifications of the candidate and the candidate’s signed consent to be named in the Proxy Statement and to serve as a director if elected.
​

​

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​​
From time to time, the Board may change the process through which shareholders may recommend director candidates to the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee. The Company has not received any shareholder recommendations for director candidates with regard to the election of directors covered by this Proxy Statement or otherwise.
Committees
The Board of Directors has three standing committees: the Executive Committee (the “Executive Committee”), the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee (the “Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee”) and the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”).
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is empowered to exercise the authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company between meetings of the Board, except for declaring dividends, filling vacancies in the Board of Directors or committees thereof, amending the Articles of Incorporation, adopting, amending or repealing Bylaws and certain other matters as provided in the Bylaws. Robert Feitler is the Chairman of the Executive Committee and Tina Chang, Thomas W. Florsheim, Cory L. Nettles and Frederick P. Stratton, Jr. are members. No meetings of the Executive Committee were held in 2022.
Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee
We are committed to conducting our business with the highest standards of business ethics and in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq on which our common stock is traded. In addition to Nasdaq rules and applicable governmental laws and regulations, the framework for our corporate governance is provided by: (a) our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; (b) the charters of our board committees; and (c) our Code of Business Ethics.
The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee is responsible for various matters related to corporate and board governance. The principal functions of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee are: (1) to assist the Board by identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board and its Committees, and to recommend to the Board the director nominees for the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders; (2) to recommend to the Board the corporate governance guidelines applicable to the Company, including changes to those guidelines as appropriate from time to time; (3) to lead the Board in its periodic reviews of the Board’s performance; (4) to establish, subject to approval of the full Board, compensation arrangements for our executive officers; (5) to administer our equity incentive and other compensation plans, and approve the granting of equity awards to our officers and other key employees; and (6) to communicate to shareholders regarding these policies and activities as required by the SEC and other regulatory bodies. The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee Charter and the Guidelines and Criteria for Nomination of Director Candidates are available on our website.
The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee also establishes compensation arrangements for senior management and administers the granting of stock-based awards to our officers and other key employees. The Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee also reviews the procedures, the effectiveness and the performance of the Board as a whole, the individual directors and the Board committees, as well as its own performance. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee (Robert Feitler, Tina Chang, Cory L. Nettles and Frederick P. Stratton, Jr.) is independent, as defined in the current listing standards of Nasdaq and the SEC rules relating to such committees. Four meetings of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee were held in 2022. The charter of the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee is available on our website at weycogroup.com.
Code of Business Ethics
Our Code of Business Ethics sets forth ethical obligations for all employees, officers and directors, including those that apply specifically to directors and executive officers, such as accounting and financial reporting matters. Any waiver of the Code of Business Ethics requires approval of the Board of Directors or
12

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​
of a committee of the Board. Our Code of Business Ethics is available on our website. If any substantive amendment is made to the Code, the nature of the amendment will be disclosed on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K. In addition, if a waiver from the Code is granted to an executive officer or director, the nature of the waiver will be disclosed in a current report on Form 8-K.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing independent oversight of our financial statements and the financial reporting process, the systems of internal accounting and financial controls, and the annual independent audit of our financial statements. A copy of the charter of the Audit Committee is available on our website at weycogroup.com. The Board of Directors has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee (Frederick P. Stratton, Jr., Tina Chang, Robert Feitler, and Cory L. Nettles) is independent, as defined in the current listing standards of Nasdaq and SEC rules relating to audit committees. This means that, except in their roles as members of the Board of Directors and its committees, they are not affiliates of the Company, they receive no consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees directly or indirectly from the Company, they have no other relationships with the Company that may interfere with the exercise of their independence from management and the Company, and they have not participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any of our current subsidiaries at any time during the past three years. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that each Audit Committee member satisfies the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq and that Robert Feitler and Frederick P. Stratton, Jr. each qualify as “audit committee financial experts” within the meaning of applicable rules of the SEC.
Management has primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed our audited financial statements with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Committee also discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required under generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), and SEC rules. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by PCAOB rules concerning independence. The Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management and the Company and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.
The Committee discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plan for their audit. The Committee meets with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting. The Committee held four meetings during 2022.
Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee has responsibility for recommending appointment of, setting compensation for, and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee must approve in advance the audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided by, and the fees to be paid to, the independent auditor, subject to the de minimis exceptions to pre-approval permitted by the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq for non-audit services. No fees were paid during 2022 to the independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the de minimis exception to the foregoing pre-approval policy.
Report of Audit Committee
In connection with its function to oversee and monitor the financial reporting process of the Company, the Audit Committee has done the following (among other things):
•
reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022;
​
13

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​​
•
discussed with Baker Tilly US, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, the matters required to be discussed by the PCAOB and SEC;
​
•
received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Baker Tilly US, LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and have discussed with them their independence; and
​
•
concluded that Baker Tilly US LLP’s provision of audit and non-audit services to the Company is compatible with their independence.
​
Based on the foregoing, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Other Governance Matters
We have not adopted a formal anti-hedging policy and do not prohibit directors, officers, and employees from entering into hedging transactions that are designed to reduce or eliminate the investment risk associated with owning Company securities. However, we strongly discourage directors, officers and employees from engaging in such transactions, and, to our knowledge, no hedging transactions involving Company securities have been entered into by these individuals.
Director Compensation
Our directors who are not also employees receive a quarterly cash retainer. The quarterly cash retainer was $7,500 in 2022. Non-employee directors are also eligible to receive equity awards. In 2022, each non-employee director received 1,000 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 3,500 shares of common

TABLE OF CONTENTS​​
Pension Benefits
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan which was frozen effective December 31, 2016. No benefits have been accrued under the plan subsequent to that date. The Company also has an unfunded supplemental pension plan for key executives so they may receive pension benefits which they would otherwise be prevented from receiving as a result of certain limitations of the Internal Revenue Code. Normal retirement benefits generally equal one and six-tenths of an employee’s average annual compensation multiplied by number of years of credited service, up to a maximum of 25 years. The plans provide for normal retirement at age 65 and provide for reduced benefits for early retirement beginning at age 55. Pension benefits are payable under a variety of options, to be selected by the retiree and are calculated under a formula that is integrated with Social Security, although the amounts determined under the formula are not reduced by Social Security benefits. Benefits under the supplemental plan are payable either in the form of an annuity or as a single lump-sum payment following the retiree’s termination of service. The normal retirement benefit is 1.6% of average compensation per year and is based on (i) the highest average earnings for any 5 consecutive years during the 10 calendar years ending December 31, 2016, (ii) length of service up to 25 years and (iii) the highest average covered compensation for Social Security purposes.
The foregoing describes the general formula under the defined benefit plan and related excess benefits plan as revised in 1997. Those salaried employees who were covered in the plans on January 1, 1989, and all officers (including the NEOs) who are Senior Vice Presidents or above are provided with the higher of the benefits described above or a minimum benefit based on a prior formula through the defined benefit plan, the unfunded excess benefits plan described above and an unfunded deferred compensation plan. The normal retirement benefit under the prior formula is based on the highest average earnings for any five consecutive years during the 10 calendar years preceding December 31, 2016 and length of service up to 25 years. The normal retirement benefit for officers (including the NEOs) who are Senior Vice Presidents or above is based on the highest average earnings for any five years during the 20 calendar years preceding December 31, 2016 and length of service up to 25 years. Minimum benefit amounts are not subject to any deduction for Social Security benefits. Under the excess benefits plan, upon a change in control, a lump sum benefit payment shall be made to each participant.
Employment Contracts and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
The Company has entered into employment contracts with Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. and John W. Florsheim whereby, for services to be rendered, their employment will continue until December 31, 2025, at salary levels to be determined and reviewed periodically. These contracts provide, among other things, that a lump sum amount equal to slightly less than three times the base amount compensation (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code) will be paid to Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. and John W. Florsheim, respectively, as severance pay, in the event the Company terminates the executive’s employment without cause or the individual terminates his employment following a change of control of the Company. A “change of control” is defined in the employment agreements as: a change in control of more than 15% of the shares of the Company; the replacement of two or more directors by persons not nominated by the Board of Directors; any enlargement of the size of the Board of Directors if the change was not supported by the existing Board of Directors; a merger, consolidation or transfer of assets of the Company; or a substantial change in his responsibilities. In the event Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. or John W. Florsheim is prevented from performing his duties by reason of permanent disability, the executive’s normal salary will be discontinued and a disability salary of 75% of the individual’s then-current salary will be paid until December 31, 2025.
Also, in the event Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. or John W. Florsheim dies prior to the termination of his employment under the contract, a death benefit equal to his salary at the annual rate being paid to the executive at the date of death will be paid to a designated beneficiary for a three-year period. As of March 31, 2023, the annual salary of Thomas W. Florsheim, Jr. is $753,239 and John W. Florsheim’s annual salary is $719,821.
In accordance with the terms of the 2017 Incentive Plan, if a change of control should occur, all options and stock awards granted by the Company shall immediately vest.

Our written Code of Business Ethics provides that, except with the prior knowledge and consent of the Company, directors and employees are not permitted to have a financial interest in a supplier, competitor, or customer of the Company because of the potential conflicts of interest raised by such transactions. There is a limited exception for ownership of securities of a publicly traded corporation unless the investments are of a size as to have influence or control over the corporation. Our policies include no minimum size for this restriction on potential conflict of interest transactions. Actual or potential conflict of interest transactions or relationships are to be reported to our Chief Financial Officer or another officer of the Company. Waivers or exceptions for executive officers or directors may be granted only in advance and under exceptional circumstances and only by the Board of Directors or an appropriate committee. Transactions with related persons are also subject to our disclosure controls and procedures to ensure compliance with applicable laws and requirements of Nasdaq.
There were no transactions since the beginning of 2022, and there are no proposed transactions, in which the Company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which (a) any director, executive officer, director nominee, or immediate family member of a director, executive officer or nominee, or (b) any holder of 5% or more of our common stock or their immediate family members, had a direct or indirect material interest.
Method of Proxy Solicitation
The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. The officers of the Company may solicit proxies from some of the larger shareholders, which solicitation may be made by mail, telephone, or personal contacts; these officers will not receive additional compensation for soliciting such proxies. Request will also be made of brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward, at the expense of the Company, soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares held of record by such persons.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
Under the federal securities laws, our directors, executive officers, and any person holding more than 10% of our common stock are required to report their initial ownership of our common stock and any change in that ownership to the SEC. Specific due dates for these reports have been established, and we are required to disclose in this Proxy Statement any failure to timely file such reports by these dates during the last year.
We believe that all of these filing requirements were satisfied on a timely basis for the year ended December 31, 2022. In making these disclosures, we have relied solely on written representations of our directors and executive officers and copies of the reports they have filed with the SEC.
Other Matters
We have not been informed and are not aware of any other matters that will be brought before the meeting. However, proxies will be voted with discretionary authority with respect to any other matters that properly may be presented to the meeting.
Shareholder Proposals
Under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, shareholder proposals must be received by the Company no later than December 8, 2023 in order to be considered for inclusion in next year’s Annual Meeting proxy statement. Further, under the Company’s Guidelines and Criteria for Nomination of Director Candidates, shareholder recommendations for directors must be received by the Company no later than December 2, 2023, in order to be considered by the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee for nomination and inclusion in next year’s Annual Meeting proxy statement. A proposal submitted outside of the Rule 14a-8 process will be considered untimely, and the Company may use discretionary voting authority for any proposal that may be raised at next year’s Annual Meeting unless the proponent notifies the Company of the proposal not later than February 18, 2024.
