PROXY STATEMENT
________________________________

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

DECEMBER 14, 201 8

About this Proxy Statement

Our Board of Directors is soliciting proxies to be used at our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will be held at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 1701 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 on Friday, December 14, 2018, at 4:00 p.m. local time. This proxy statement, the notice of annual meeting and the form of proxy will be mailed to stockholders beginning on or about November 9, 2018.

VOTING PROCEDURES

Who Can Vote

Only RCM common stockholders at the close of business on the record date, October 18, 2018, may vote at the annual meeting. You are entitled to cast one vote for each share of RCM common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date. At the close of business on the record date, there were 12,285,227 shares of RCM common stock outstanding.

How You Can Vote

You can vote by:

| • | marking your proxy card, dating and signing it, and returning it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided,

| • | phoning in your vote using the information provided on your voting form, or

| • | attending the meeting and voting in person.

How You Can Revoke Your Proxy or Change Your Vote

You can revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the meeting by:

| • | sending a written notice that you have revoked your proxy to our Secretary, Kevin D. Miller, at 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, New Jersey 08109-4613,

| • | submitting a later-dated proxy card, or

| • | attending the meeting, giving our Secretary written notice of your revocation and voting your shares.

If a bank, broker or other holder of record holds your shares in its name, you must obtain a proxy card executed in your favor from the holder of record to be able to vote your shares at the meeting.

General Information on Voting

A quorum must exist for voting to take place at the meeting. A quorum exists if holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are present at the meeting in person or are represented by proxy at the meeting.

Director nominees are elected by a majority vote, meaning that a nominee for director is elected only if he or she receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes cast for and against such nominee. All other matters to be voted upon at the meeting must be approved by a majority of the votes cast on those matters.

Shares represented by a proxy marked “abstain” on any matter will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, but will not be considered as votes cast on that matter. Shares represented by a proxy as to which there is a “broker non-vote” (that is, where a broker holding your shares in “street” or “nominee” name indicates to us on a proxy that you have given the broker the discretionary authority to vote your shares on some but not all matters), will be considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be considered as votes cast on matters as to which there is a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will therefore have no effect on the outcome of any vote taken at the meeting.

Shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the meeting in accordance with the instructions on your proxy card. If you sign your proxy card but do not mark your choices, Bradley S. Vizi or Kevin D. Miller, the persons named on the enclosed proxy card, will vote the shares represented by your proxy card:

| ● | FOR the persons we nominated for election as directors (Proposal No. 1);

| ● | FOR approval of the amendment to the RCM Technologies, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (Proposal No. 2); and

| ● | FOR the ratification of our Audit Committee’s selection of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent accountants for our fiscal year ending December 29, 2018 (Proposal No. 3); and

| ● | FOR approval of an advisory resolution approving the compensation of our named executive officers for 2017 (Proposal No. 4).

If any other matters are properly presented at the meeting for consideration, Mr. Vizi and Mr. Miller will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you. Currently, we are not aware of any such matters.

Costs of Solicitation

We will pay for preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy statement. Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies through the mail, direct communication or otherwise. None of our directors, officers or employees will receive additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees or fiduciaries for their reasonable expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to stockholders.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee of the Board has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to our executives, including the named executive officers, are similar to those provided to other executive officers.

The following discussion makes reference to our former President and Chief Executive Officer, Rocco Campanelli, who ceased to serve in those capacities as of June 1, 2018. Mr. Campanelli was our President and Chief Executive Officer through our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

During 2015, as part of our ongoing effort to better align our leadership, corporate governance structure and compensation methodologies with the interests and perspectives of our stockholders, members of our Board of Directors and management team spoke with stockholders representing a majority of our ownership. Mindful of the input of these stockholders and motivated by our commitment to the implementation of best practices in corporate governance and compensation, the Compensation Committee and our Board have undertaken over the last two years a series of efforts with respect to compensation reform, including the following steps:

| ● | Limiting executive severance cash pay-outs to no more than 24 months’ base salary and bonus;

| ● | Prohibiting tax gross-ups in all future employment agreements;

| ● | Requiring future employment agreements to contain a "double trigger" with respect to executive change-in-control payments;

| ● | Adopting an incentive payment claw back policy for named executive officers; and

| ● | Developed the conceptual framework for a long term incentive plan containing performance-based stock units for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which, as discussed below, was initially implemented in fiscal year 2016.

Since the implementation of the new long term incentive plan described above, three grants have been made under this program. On each of March 20, 2016, March 24, 2017, and April 5, 2018 the Compensation Committee made grants of 120,000 performance stock units (“PSUs”) to Mr. Campanelli and 80,000 PSUs to Mr. Miller. The number of PSUs that will ultimately be earned and vested under these grants shall be determined based on the level of achievement of certain performance goals tied to operating earnings and stockholder return performance during performance periods beginning on January 3, 2016 and ending on December 29, 2018, with respect to the 2016 grant, January 1, 2017 and ending on December 28, 2019, with respect to the 2017 grant, and December 31, 2017 and ending on January 2, 2021, with respect to the 2018 grant; provided, that if a Change in Control (as defined in the Company’s 2014 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”)) occurs prior to the end of the performance period set forth above, then the last day of the performance period shall be the last day of the Company’s fiscal quarter that immediately precedes the date of the Change in Control.

For 2017, Mr. Campanelli’s and Mr. Miller’s non-equity incentive plan compensation was payable in cash, and was paid based on achievement of targets set for operating income growth and year-over-year reduction of our average days sales outstanding. Mr. Campanelli and Mr. Miller earned cash bonuses for fiscal 2017 of $87,500 and $56,250 respectively.

| (1) | Rocco Campanelli and Kevin Miller were each awarded 120,000 and 80,000 performance based restricted share units both on March 20, 2016 and March 24, 2017 for total performance based restricted share units of 240,000 and 160,000, respectively. At all times from inception through December 31, 2017, the Company has deemed these performance-based restricted share units as unlikely to vest based on the performance metrics required for vesting. Therefore, the Company has recognized no compensation expense related to these performance-based restricted share units in its fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2017 financial statements as set forth in note 11 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 filed with the Commission. Were the performance metrics to be achieved and based upon the grant date fair value of the performance based restricted share units calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, such performance based restricted share units would be worth as much as $643,200 and $582,000 for Rocco Campanelli for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017, respectively, and $428,800 and $388,000 for Kevin Miller for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2017, respectively.

| (2) | This amount represents (i) premiums we paid during 2017 for medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance on each of the officers named in this table as follows: Rocco Campanelli: $24,935; Kevin Miller: $40,528; and Michael Saks: $17,992; (ii) matching contributions in the amount of $625 that were made for the 2017 fiscal year for each of the officers named in this table, in accordance with RCM’s retirement savings plan adopted pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and (iii) the following approximated amounts for Company leased automobiles or monthly automobile allowances and related expenses: Rocco Campanelli: $11,604; Kevin Miller: $14,601; and Michael Saks: $10,800.

| (3) | Mr. Campanelli ceased to serve as the Company’s President and CEO as of June 1, 2018.

During our 2017 and 2016 fiscal years, certain of the officers named in this table received personal benefits not reflected in the amounts of their respective annual salaries or bonuses. The dollar amount of these benefits did not, for any individual in any fiscal year, exceed $10,000.

Compensation of Directors

Our employee directors do not receive any compensation for serving on our Board or its committees, other than the compensation they receive for serving as employees of RCM.

In 2014, the Compensation Committee engaged Towers Watson as an independent consultant to assist it in altering the structure of compensation to the Board’s non-employee members. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board adopted, the following revised compensation structure for non-employee members of the Board, which was implemented beginning with the 2015 fiscal year and continued to be utilized through our fiscal year ended December 30, 2017:

● | Annual cash retainer of $40,000, payable in equal monthly installments.

● | No meeting fees for up to five Board meetings in each calendar year. For each meeting in calendar year in excess of five, each Board member shall receive a cash payment of $1,500 for an in-person Board meeting and $750 for a telephonic meeting.

● | Annual equity grants of $40,000, in the form of RSUs with 1-year vesting feature (subject to acceleration upon Change in Control or separation from service in the same manner as the RSU grants made in December 2014), with delivery of the shares of common stock underlying to such RSUs to be made upon vesting; provided that, except for sales of shares in an amount no greater than required to generate an amount equal to the income tax on such shares, non-employee directors shall be required to retain shares delivered upon vesting unless, immediately following any such sale, such director would comply with the Company’s ownership guidelines.

● | Payment of the following additional annual retainers: Chairman of the Board $10,000; Lead Independent Director $10,000 (who shall serve only at such time as the Board does not have an independent chair); Audit Committee chair $10,000; Compensation Committee chair $7,500.

● | No other committee fees, for service or for meetings.

On June 1, 2018, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board certain minor modifications in the structure of compensation to the Board’s non-employee members. On that date the Board adopted the following revised compensation structure for non-employee members of the Board, which was implemented upon adoption:

● | Annual cash retainer of $45,000, payable in equal monthly installments.

● | No meeting fees.

● | Annual equity grants of $45,000, in the form of RSUs with 1-year vesting feature (subject to acceleration upon Change in Control or separation from service in the same manner as the RSU grants made in December 2017), with delivery of the shares of common stock underlying to such RSUs to be made upon vesting; provided that, except for sales of shares in an amount no greater than required to generate an amount equal to the income tax on such shares, non-employee directors shall be required to retain shares delivered upon vesting unless, immediately following any such sale, such director would comply with the Company’s ownership guidelines.

● | Payment of the following additional annual retainers: Chairman of the Board (if independent) $25,000; Lead Independent Director $25,000 (who shall serve only at such time as the Board does not have an independent chair); Audit Committee chair $10,000; Compensation Committee chair $10,000; Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chair $5,000.

● | No other committee fees, for service or for meetings.

Executive Severance Agreements and Change in Control Agreements

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, the Company was a party to Executive Severance Agreements (the “Executive Severance Agreements”) with Rocco Campanelli, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer during that year, and Kevin Miller, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The Executive Severance Agreements set forth the terms and conditions of certain payments to be made by the Company to each executive in the event, while employed by the Company, such executive experiences (a) a termination of employment unrelated to a “Change in Control” (as defined therein) or (b) there occurs a Change in Control and either (i) the executive’s employment is terminated for a reason related to the Change in Control or (ii) the executive remains continuously employed with the Company for a specified period of time following the Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller).

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Agreements, if either (a) the executive is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than “Cause” (as defined therein), “Disability” (as defined therein) or death, or (b) the executive resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined therein), and, in each case, the termination is not a “Termination Related to a Change in Control” (as defined below), the executive will receive the following severance payments: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of (a) the executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date (before taking into account any reduction that constitutes Good Reason) (“Annual Base Salary”) and (b) the highest annual bonus paid to the executive in any of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the executive’s termination date (“Bonus”), to be paid in installments over the twelve month period following the executive’s termination date; and (ii) for a period of eighteen months following the executive’s termination date, a monthly payment equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the executive is required to pay to continue medical, vision, and dental coverage, for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and eligible dependents.

Notwithstanding the above, if the executive has a termination as described above and can reasonably demonstrate that such termination would constitute a Termination Related to a Change in Control, and a Change in Control occurs within 120 days following the executive’s termination date, the executive will be entitled to receive the payments set forth below for a Termination Related to a Change in Control, less any amounts already paid to the executive, upon consummation of the Change in Control.

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Agreements, if a Change in Control occurs and (a) the executive experiences a Termination Related to a Change in Control on account of (i) an involuntary termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death, or Disability, (ii) an involuntary termination by the Company within a specified period of time following a Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) on account of Disability or death, or (iii) a resignation by the executive with Good Reason; or (b) a resignation by the executive, with or without Good Reason, which results in a termination date that is the last day of the specified period (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) following a Change in Control, then the executive will receive the following severance payments: (1) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s (a) Annual Base Salary and (b) Bonus; and (2) a lump sum payment equal to twenty-four multiplied by the monthly COBRA premium cost, as in effect immediately prior to the executive’s termination date, for the executive to continue medical, dental and vision coverage, as applicable, in such Company plans for himself and, if applicable, his spouse and eligible dependents. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall establish an irrevocable rabbi trust and contribute to the rabbi trust the applicable amounts due under the Executive Severance Agreements.

- 14 -

Executive Severance Agreements and Change in Control Agreements (Continued)

The Executive Severance Agreements provide that if the executive remains continuously employed for a specified period of time following a Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) and is employed by the Company on the last day of such specified period, the executive will receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s (a) Annual Base Salary and (b) Bonus (the “Change in Control Payment”). If the executive receives the Change in Control Payment, the executive will not be eligible to receive any severance payments under his Executive Severance Agreement.

Mr. Saks, along with several other members of the Company’s senior management (not including Messrs. Campanelli and Miller), is covered by our Change in Control Plan for Selected Executive Management (the “CIC Plan”).

The CIC Plan sets forth the terms and conditions of severance and benefits to be provided to a covered employee in the event (a) the covered employee experiences a covered termination of employment after a “Potential Change in Control” (as defined in the CIC Plan), but prior to a “Change in Control” (as defined in the CIC Plan), and a Change in Control that relates to the Potential Change in Control occurs within the six month period following the covered employee’s termination, or (b) the covered employee is employed by the Company on the date of a Change in Control. The CIC Plan also sets forth the terms and conditions of severance payments to be made to a covered employee in the event such employee is employed on the date of a Change in Control and is subsequently terminated on account of a covered termination during his “Designated Severance Period” (a period specified by the Company for each covered employee that is measured from the date of an applicable Change in Control, which is 18 months for Mr. Saks.

Under the terms of the CIC Plan, if a covered employee is (a) employed on the date of a Potential Change in Control, (b) terminated by the Company for a reason other than “Cause” (as defined in the CIC Plan), death, or disability, and (c) a Change in Control to which the Potential Change in Control relates occurs within the six month period following the covered employee’s covered termination, the covered employee will receive, if the covered employee executes and does not revoke a release of claims, severance payments at the covered employee’s annual base salary rate in regular payroll installments for the duration of the covered employee’s Designated Severance Period. If the covered employee dies before receiving the entire amount that is owed, the remaining portion will be paid to the covered employee’s estate. Severance payments will be discontinued if it is determined that the covered employee has engaged in any actions constituting Cause.

Under the terms of the CIC Plan, if a covered employee is employed on the date of a Change in Control and the covered employee executes and does not revoke a release of claims:

| ● | all outstanding Company equity-based awards granted to the covered employee prior to the date of the Change in Control will be immediately fully vested;

| ● | the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that the covered employee will receive a pro-rated annual bonus if (a) the Committee determines that the Change in Control is an asset sale with respect to an entity in which the covered employee is associated, (b) the covered employee’s employment with the Company terminates in connection with such asset sale, and (c) the covered employee was eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan at the time of the Change in Control; any such pro-rated annual bonus will be determined based on the level of achievement under the annual bonus plan at the time of the Change in Control; and

| ● | the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine that the covered employee will receive a discretionary bonus upon a Change in Control.

- 15 -

Executive Severance Agreements and Change in Control Agreements (Continued)

Any bonuses paid under the CIC Plan upon a Change in Control will be paid in a single lump sum following the Change in Control.

Under the terms of the Plan, if a covered employee’s employment with the “Employer” (as defined in the CIC Plan) is terminated during the covered employee’s Designated Severance Period following the occurrence of a Change in Control (a) by the Employer for any reason other than Cause, death, or disability, or (b) by the covered employee for “Good Reason” (as defined in the CIC Plan), and the covered employee executes and does not revoke a release of claims, the Employer will continue to pay to the covered employee his annual base salary in regular payroll installments for the remainder of the covered employee’s Designated Severance Period. A covered employee is not eligible for severance benefits from the Company after a Change in Control if the Change in Control is an asset sale with respect to the covered employee and the successor to the Company offers the covered employee employment with a level of compensation and benefits that in the aggregate are at least as favorable as the level of the covered employee’s compensation and benefits with the Company prior to the Change in Control. If the covered employee dies before receiving the entire amount that is owed, the remaining portion will be paid to the covered employee’s estate. Severance payments will be discontinued if the Employer determines that the covered employee has engaged in any actions constituting Cause.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

We believe that, during our fiscal year ended December 30, 2017, our executive officers and directors made all required filings under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act on a timely basis. Our belief is based solely on:

| ● | our review of copies of forms filed pursuant to Section 16(a) and submitted to us during and with respect to our fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 and

| ● | representations from the Company’s directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock that they have complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements with respect to 2017.

- 16 -

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Commitment to Best Practices. As discussed above with respect to executive compensation, RCM’s leadership takes its fiduciary responsibility seriously and is similarly committed to the implementation of best practices in corporate governance. This has led to several developments in our corporate governance:

| ● | Communications with Stockholders: In an ongoing effort to better align its leadership, corporate governance structure and compensation methodologies with the interests and perspectives of its stockholders, during the last year members of our Board and management team have spoken with stockholders representing a majority of RCM’s ownership.

| ● | Robust Stock Ownership Guidelines: Our Board has adopted robust stock ownership guidelines, which require covered persons to have a stock ownership position in the Company in an amount no less than the applicable multiple of their base salary, by increasing the applicable multiples. The revised multiples are:

| o | Chief Executive Officer – 6.0 times
| o | Chief Financial Officer – 6.0 times
| o | Executive Vice President – 2.0 times
| o | Group Senior Vice President (where covered) – 2.0 times
| o | Senior Vice President (where covered) – 2.0 times
| o | Non-Employee Director – 5.0 times

| ● | Succession Planning: Our Board has engaged in succession planning during the past year, and has identified potential successors for all of our executive officers and for the leaders of each of the Company’s major business units.

Board Independence. The Board of Directors has determined that Roger H. Ballou, Maier O. Fein, Leon Kopyt and S. Gary Snodgrass are “independent directors” as defined in Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. In this Proxy, these four directors are referred to individually as an “Independent Director” and collectively as the “Independent Directors.”

Stockholder Communications with the Board. Stockholders may send communications to the Board of Directors in writing, addressed to the full Board of Directors, individual directors or a specific committee of the Board of Directors, care of Kevin D. Miller, Secretary, RCM Technologies, Inc., 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, New Jersey 08109. In general, all stockholder communications sent to our Secretary for forwarding to the Board of Directors, or to specified Board members, will be forwarded in accordance with the sender's instructions. However, our Secretary reserves the right to not forward to Board members any abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings. The Company encourages all of the directors to attend the annual meeting of stockholders. The 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was attended by all of our then current directors.

Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics. We have adopted a Code of Conduct applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Ethics, within the meaning of applicable Commission rules, applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller. If we make any amendments to either of these Codes (other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments), or waive (explicitly or implicitly) any provision of the Code of Ethics to the benefit of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Controller, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in the investor relations portion of our website at www.rcmt.com, or in a report on Form 8-K that we file with the Commission.

- 17 -

Related Party Transaction Approval Policy. Our Code of Conduct mandates that officers and directors bring promptly to the attention of our Compliance Officer, currently our Chief Financial Officer, any transaction or series of transactions that may result in a conflict of interest between that person and the Company. Furthermore, our Audit Committee must review and approve any “related party” transaction as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, before it is consummated. Following any disclosure to our Compliance Officer, the Compliance Officer will then typically review with the Chairman of our Audit Committee the relevant facts disclosed by the officer or director in question. After this review, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Compliance Officer determine whether the matter should be brought to the Audit Committee or the full Board of Directors for approval. In considering any such transaction, the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, will consider various relevant factors, including, among others, the reasoning for the Company to engage in the transaction, whether the terms of the transaction are at arm’s length and the overall fairness of the transaction to the Company. If a member of the Audit Committee or the Board is involved in the transaction, he or she will not participate in any of the discussions or decisions about the transaction. The transaction must be approved in advance whenever practicable, and if not practicable, must be ratified as promptly as practicable.

Risk Oversight by the Board. The role of our Board of Directors in our risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of management on areas of material risk to us, including operational, financial, legal and strategic risks.

In particular, our Audit Committee is tasked pursuant to its charter to “discuss significant financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, control and report such exposures.” As appropriate, the Chairman of the Audit Committee reports to the full Board of Directors on the activities of the Audit Committee in this regard, allowing the Audit Committee and the full Board to coordinate their risk oversight activities.

As one component of our risk oversight and anti-fraud program, our Audit Committee has established complaint reporting procedures described under “Compliance Policy” in the “Investors” section of our website at www.rcmt.com. These procedures indicate how to submit complaints to our Audit Committee regarding concerns about our accounting practices, our adherence to financial policies and procedures, or our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Once received, grievances are reviewed by the Chairman of the Audit Committee for consideration.

Board Leadership Structure. Our governance documents provide the Board with flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. In making leadership structure determinations, the Board may consider many factors, including the specific needs of our business and what is in the best interests of our stockholders. Our Chairman, or our Lead Independent Director if our Chairman is not independent: (i) presides at all meetings of the Board including presiding at executive sessions of the Board (without management present) at every regularly scheduled Board meeting, (ii) serves as a liaison between the management and the independent directors, (iii) approves meeting agendas, time schedules and other information provided to the Board, and (iv) is available for direct communication and consultation with major stockholders upon request. On June 1, 2018, in conjunction with Mr. Vizi’s appointment as Executive Chairman and President, Mr. Ballou was designated by the Company’s independent directors to serve as a Lead Independent Director.

The committees report their actions to the full Board at the Board’s next regular meeting. The following table shows on which of our Board’s committees each of our directors served.

Our Board of Directors held nine meetings in the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017.

Each of our six directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings held by the Board and all committees on which the director served. At each meeting of the Board of Directors, there was an executive session attended only by the Independent Directors.

Independence of Committees

The Board of Directors has determined each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board meets the independence requirements applicable to members of those committees as prescribed by the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC, the Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. The Board of Directors has further determined that Roger H. Ballou, Chair of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Commission.

Director Nominations

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s charter does not include formal requirements for the nominating process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that candidates for director should meet certain minimum qualifications, including being able to read and understand financial statements, having substantial business experience, having high moral character and personal integrity, and having sufficient time to attend to their duties and responsibilities to RCM. Exceptional candidates who do not meet all of these criteria may still be considered. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will also consider the potential director’s independence, whether the member would be considered an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” as described in the applicable SEC standards, and the diversity that the potential director would add to the Board of Directors in terms of gender, ethnic background, and professional experience. With respect to their consideration of diversity of background, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy of assessing diversity with respect to any particular qualities or attributes.

- 20 -

Director Nominations (Continued)

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies potential candidates through its members’ networks of contacts, by soliciting recommendations from other directors or executive officers, major stockholders and, as appropriate, engaging search firms to identify and screen suitable director nominees. After the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has identified a potential candidate, publicly available information about the person is collected and reviewed. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee decides to further pursue the potential candidate after this initial review, contact is made with the person. If the potential candidate expresses a willingness to serve on the Board of Directors, interviews are conducted with the potential candidate and additional information is requested. Candidates are chosen by a majority vote of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for recommendation to the Board of Directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider stockholder recommendations for director candidates on the same basis as other candidates, provided that the following procedures are followed in submitting recommendations. All such stockholder recommendations for the 2019 meeting of stockholders should be submitted in writing to the attention of Kevin D. Miller, Secretary, RCM Technologies, Inc., 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, New Jersey 08109 no earlier than August 16, 2019 and no later than September 15, 2019 and should be accompanied by (i) the potential candidate’s five-year employment history with employer names and a description of the employer’s business, the candidate’s experience with financial statements, and the candidate’s other board membership(s); (ii) a written consent of the director candidate to stand for election if nominated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors, and to serve if elected by the stockholders; and (iii) proof of ownership of RCM’s common stock by the person submitting the recommendation.

Communications with the Board

Stockholders may send communications to the Board of Directors in writing, addressed to the full Board of Directors, individual directors or a specific committee of the Board of Directors, in care of Kevin D. Miller, Secretary, RCM Technologies, Inc., 2500 McClellan Avenue, Suite 350, Pennsauken, New Jersey 08109. In general, all stockholder communications sent to our Secretary for forwarding to the Board of Directors or to specified Board members will be forwarded in accordance with the sender’s instructions. However, our Secretary reserves the right not to forward any personally abusive, threatening or otherwise inappropriate materials.

PROPOSAL 2
___________________________________________

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE

RCM TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 2001 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

On October 19, 2018, our Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the RCM Technologies, Inc. 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”). The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal at the Annual Meeting are required to approve it. The amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan would increase by 300,000 shares of Common Stock the total number of shares authorized for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan from 1,100,000 shares to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock.

If approved by our stockholders, the amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan will be effective on December 14, 2018. Stockholder approval of the amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan is necessary in order for the Stock Purchase Plan to continue to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and to comply with the corporate governance listing standards of NASDAQ.

As of October 26, 2018, there were 86,403 shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan. Our Board of Directors believes that the currently available shares are insufficient for our compensatory program and, therefore, approved the increase in shares to be authorized under the Stock Purchase Plan. In this regard, our Board of Directors believes that our ability to attract, retain and motivate top quality employees is material to our success and is enhanced by our continued ability to provide for issuances under the Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, our Board of Directors believes that our interests and those of our stockholders will be advanced if we can continue to offer our employees the opportunity to acquire and increase their proprietary interests in us through the Stock Purchase Plan.

The material terms of the Stock Purchase Plan, as it is proposed to be amended, are summarized below. The summary of the Stock Purchase Plan, as it is proposed to be amended, is not intended to be a complete description of the Stock Purchase Plan, as it is proposed to be amended, and is qualified in its entirety by the actual text of the amendment and the Stock Purchase Plan. A copy of the full text of the amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A. A copy of the Stock Purchase Plan will be made available without charge to any person upon his or her written request, which request should be directed to the Director of Investor Relations at our address appearing on the first page of this proxy statement.

Material Features of the Stock Purchase Plan

General. The Stock Purchase Plan first became effective on January 1, 2001, and was thereafter amended effective July 1, 2004, July 1, 2009, September 16, 2009, and December 3, 2015 with the approval of our stockholders where required. The Stock Purchase Plan provides our eligible employees, as well as those of our subsidiaries, with an opportunity to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a discount based on their accumulated payroll deductions for the relevant purchase period. The Stock Purchase Plan is intended to comply with the applicable provisions of Section 423 of the Code. The Stock Purchase Plan is not intended to qualify under Section 401 of the Code and is not subject to the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

- 22 -

The Stock Purchase Plan currently authorizes up to 1,100,000 shares of Common Stock for purchase, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as described below. The stockholders are being asked to consider and approve an amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan that would, commencing on December 15, 2018, increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan by an additional 300,000 shares, so that a total of 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock may be purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.

Eligibility. In general, all of our employees, as well as those of our subsidiaries, who customarily work more than 20 hours per week and more than five months a year are eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan after working for us or one of our subsidiaries for at least six months. Employees who own 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our stock or our subsidiaries are not eligible to participate. As of October 26, 2018, approximately 2,400 employees were eligible to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan, of which 75 employees are currently participating in the Stock Purchase Plan.

Administration. The Stock Purchase Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee has the authority and power to administer the Stock Purchase Plan and to make, adopt, institute and enforce rules and regulations not inconsistent with the provisions of the Stock Purchase Plan. The Compensation Committee will adopt and prescribe the contents of all forms required in connection with the administration of the Stock Purchase Plan, including the agreement by which an eligible employee may enroll as a participant in the Stock Purchase Plan, payroll withholding authorizations, requests for distributions of shares, and all other required notices under the Stock Purchase Plan. Our Compensation Committee has the fullest discretion permissible under law in the discharge of its duties, and its interpretations and decisions with respect to the Stock Purchase Plan are final and conclusive.

Purchase Periods. There are two six-month Purchase Periods per year coinciding with our respective fiscal reporting periods. The first Purchase Period consists of the first and second quarters of our fiscal year and the second Purchase Period consists of the third and fourth quarters (a “Purchase Period”).

Election to Participate. An eligible employee generally must elect to participate in the Stock Purchase Plan 30 days before the first day of the applicable Purchase Period and such participation will continue for each successive Purchase Period until it is modified or discontinued by the eligible employee. By participating in the Stock Purchase Plan, a participant authorizes after-tax payroll deductions from his or her compensation for the purpose of funding the purchase of our Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan for the relevant Purchase Period. Payroll deductions are in whole percentages ranging from 1% to 10% of such participant’s compensation; however, in no event may a participant authorize more than $20,000 per year toward the purchase of shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan. Accumulated payroll deductions for a participant are not credited with any interest. Unless a participant ceases his or her participation in the Stock Purchase Plan, such participant may not change the percentage of his or her compensation deducted during a Purchase Period; however, a participant may change the percentage of compensation deducted to any permissible level effective as of the beginning of any subsequent Purchase Period by filing with the Compensation Committee a notice in such form and at such time in advance of the beginning Purchase Period in which the change is to be effective as the Compensation Committee determines.

- 23 -

Purchase Date. On the last day of the purchase period (the “Purchase Date”), each participant will automatically be deemed to have exercised his or her option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan, unless such participant has notified the Compensation Committee, at such time in advance of the Purchase Date as the Compensation Committee determines, of his or her desire not to make such purchase. Subject to the limitations described below, on each Purchase Date, at the Purchase Price (as described below), the largest number of whole shares of Common Stock as can be purchased with the amounts withheld from the participant’s compensation during the Purchase Period are purchased on behalf of the participant. Any amounts that are withheld from a participant’s compensation in a Purchase Period and that remain after the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock on the Purchase Date will be held in the participant’s account, without interest, and applied on the participant’s behalf to purchase Common Stock on the next Purchase Date.

Purchase Price. Unless our Compensation Committee determines otherwise, the purchase price per share of our Common Stock to be sold to participants under the Stock Purchase Plan is the lower of (i) 85% of the market value of a share of our Common Stock on the first day of the Purchase Period or (ii) 85% of the market value of a share of our Common Stock on the last day of the Purchase Period (the “Purchase Price”).

Limitation on Number of Shares that May be Purchased. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased for each participant on the Purchase Date of a Purchase Period is the lesser of (i) the number of whole shares of Common Stock that can be purchased by applying the full balance of the participant’s withheld funds to the purchase of shares at the Purchase Price or (ii) the participant’s proportionate part of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available under the Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise prior to the beginning of a Purchase Period, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a participant may purchase during a Purchase Period is 1,500 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described below, and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that all participants may purchase, in the aggregate, during a Purchase Period is 250,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as described below.

If any participant entitled to purchase shares pursuant to a Purchase Period would be deemed to own stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our stock or one of our subsidiaries, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that such person will be entitled to purchase pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan will be reduced to that number which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock that such person is deemed to own (excluding any number of shares of Common Stock that such person would be entitled to purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan), is one less than such five percent. Also, a participant may not purchase shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value of more than $25,000, determined at the beginning of the Purchase Period, for any calendar year in which the Stock Purchase Plan is in effect.

Lastly, if on any Purchase Date, the aggregate funds available for the purchase of shares of Common Stock exceeds the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock that would be purchased by each participant will be proportionally reduced on the Purchase Date in order to eliminate the excess and the Stock Purchase Plan will terminate immediately after such Purchase Date.

Termination of Participation. A participant may voluntarily cease his or her participation in the Stock Purchase Plan and stop payroll deductions during a Purchase Period by filing a notice of cessation of participation at such time in advance of the Purchase Date as the Compensation Committee determines. If the participant withdraws during a Purchase Period, the participant will receive a distribution of any funds held in his or her account for such Purchase Period.

- 24 -

If a participant terminates his or her employment with us or one of our subsidiaries for any reason or otherwise ceases to be an eligible employee, his or her participation in the Stock Purchase Plan will automatically cease, no further purchases of Common Stock will be made for the participant, and we will pay to such participant any funds held in his or her account under the Stock Purchase Plan.

Adjustment Provisions. The Stock Purchase Plan provides for a mandatory adjustment in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by a participant under the Stock Purchase Plan, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by all participants in a Purchase Period, and the calculation of the Purchase Price per share in the event there is a change in the number or kind of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of a change in our shares of Common Stock as a result of certain capital adjustments affecting our Common Stock.

Merger. If we are the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, any Purchase Period under the Stock Purchase Plan will apply to shares of our Common Stock. However, in the event we dissolve or are liquidated or a merger or consolidation occurs in which we are not the surviving corporation, the Stock Purchase Plan and any Purchase Period will terminate upon the effective date of such dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation, unless our Board of Directors determines otherwise, and the balance of any amounts withheld from a participant’s compensation which have not been applied to the purchase of shares of Common Stock will be returned to the participant.

Amendment and Termination of the Stock Purchase Plan. Our Board of Directors may, at any time, amend the Stock Purchase Plan, except for any amendment that is required to be approved by our stockholders under Section 423 of the Code. The Stock Purchase Plan is scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2025, unless otherwise amended with approval by our stockholders to extend the term of the Stock Purchase Plan.

Purchases under the Stock Purchase Plan. As of October 26, 2018, 1,013,597 shares were purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan. If the amendment to the Stock Purchase Plan is approved, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will be 1,400,000 shares, of which 386,403 shares will be available for purchase under the Stock Purchase Plan.

The last sales price of our Common Stock on October 29, 2018 was $3.99 per share.

Federal Income Taxes. The following provides only a general description of the application of the Federal income tax laws to purchases of shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan. There may be different tax consequences under certain circumstances, and there may be federal gift and estate tax consequences and state and local tax consequences. All affected individuals should consult with their own advisors regarding their own situation since this discussion is intended for the information of the stockholders considering how to vote at the Annual Meeting and not as tax guidance to any participants in the Stock Purchase Plan.

Under the Code as currently in effect, a participant in the Stock Purchase Plan will not be deemed to have recognized income, nor will we be entitled to a deduction, upon the participant’s purchase of shares of Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Plan. Instead, a participant will recognize income when he or she sells or otherwise disposes of the shares of Common Stock.

- 25 -

If a participant sells shares of Common Stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan more than two years after the date on which the option to purchase the shares of Common Stock was granted and more than one year after the purchase of the shares of Common Stock (the holding period), a portion of the participant’s gain will be taxed as ordinary income and a portion will be taxed as capital gain. The participant will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates on the excess of the market value of the shares of Common Stock when the option was granted over the purchase price (i.e., the discount), or, if less, the entire gain on the sale. The participant will have additional capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the proceeds of the sale and the participant’s basis in the shares of Common Stock (the purchase price plus any ordinary income realized). The capital gain rate will depend on how long the shares of Common Stock were held by the participant. We will not be entitled to any tax deduction with respect to a sale by a participant after the holding period.

If a participant sells shares of Common Stock before the expiration of the holding period, the participant will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates equal to the difference between the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of purchase and the exercise price. We generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The participant will have additional capital gain or loss on the difference between the proceeds of the sale and the participant’s basis in the shares of Common Stock (the purchase price plus any ordinary income realized). The capital gain rate will depend on how long the shares of Common Stock were held by the participant.

The estate of a participant who dies while holding shares of Common Stock purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will recognize ordinary income in the year of the participant’s death in an amount equal to the excess of the market value of the shares of Common Stock when the option was granted over the purchase price, or, if less, the amount by which the market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of death exceeds the purchase price.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN.

PROPOSAL 3
___________________________________________
RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Our Audit Committee has selected EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”) to act in the capacity of independent accountants for the current fiscal year ending December 29, 2018. Ratification and approval by the stockholders will be sought by the Board of Directors for the selection of EisnerAmper as independent accountants to audit our accounts and records for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2018, and to perform other appropriate services. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is required to approve it. In the event that a majority of the shares voted at the Annual Meeting do not vote for ratification of the selection of EisnerAmper, the Audit Committee will reconsider such selection.

Representatives of EisnerAmper will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to questions by stockholders.

Fees Billed by EisnerAmper during fiscal 201 7 and 201 6

Audit Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper for audit services rendered by EisnerAmper for the audit of the Company's 2017 annual financial statements, for the review of those financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided by EisnerAmper in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, totaled approximately $181,560. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper for audit services rendered by EisnerAmper for the audit of the Company's 2016 annual financial statements, for the review of those financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided by EisnerAmper in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, totaled approximately $178,500.

Audit-Related Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper during 2017 and 2016 for audit-related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements and are not reported under the preceding paragraph totaled $0 in both fiscal years.

Tax Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper during 2017 and 2016 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning totaled $0 in both fiscal years.

All Other Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper during 2017 and 2016 for all other services totaled $0 in both fiscal years. EisnerAmper does not audit the Company’s 401(k) plan.

The Audit Committee has considered whether EisnerAmper’s provision of services other than professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements is compatible with maintaining EisnerAmper’s independence, and has determined that it is so compatible.

All audit, audit-related, tax and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to applicable regulations. The Audit Committee currently pre-approves all engagements of the Company’s accountants to provide both audit and non-audit services, and has not established formal pre-approval policies or procedures. The Audit Committee did not approve any non-audit services pursuant to Rule 2-01 (c) (7) (i) (C) of Regulation S-X during 2017.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE SELECTION BY OUR AUDIT COMMITTEE OF EISNERAMPER LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS FOR FISCAL 201 8.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

As part of its oversight of the Company’s financial statements, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with both management and the Company’s outside auditors all financial statements prior to their issuance. Management advised the Committee in each case that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the Committee. These reviews included discussion with the outside auditors of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Public Comp any Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16.

The Committee also discussed with EisnerAmper LLP matters relating to its independence, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and the written disclosures made and letter given to the Committee pursuant to the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence.

In addition, the Committee reviewed major initiatives and programs aimed at strengthening the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control structure. As part of this process, the Committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the Company’s internal auditing program, reviewing staffing levels and steps taken to implement recommended improvements in internal procedures and controls.

Taking all of these reviews and discussions into account, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PROPOSAL 4
___________________________________________

ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, our stockholders are entitled to vote to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement.

The compensation of our named executive officers subject to the vote is disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure contained in this proxy statement. As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we believe that our compensation policies and decisions are designed to reward strong annual operating performance by the Company.

Accordingly, your Board is asking stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement by casting a non-binding, advisory vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Because the vote on this proposal is advisory in nature, it will not affect any compensation already paid or awarded to any named executive officer and will not be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Compensation Committee or the Board. Nevertheless, the views expressed by stockholders, whether through this vote or otherwise, are important to Company management and your Board and, accordingly, your Board and the Compensation Committee intend to consider the results of this vote in making determinations in the future regarding executive compensation arrangements. Your advisory vote serves as an additional tool to guide the Compensation Committee and your Board in continuing to align the Company’s executive compensation program with the interests of the Company and its stockholders and is consistent with our commitment to high standards of corporate governance.

This vote is not intended to express a view on any specific element of pay, but rather the overall compensation program and philosophy for our named executive officers described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure as set forth in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement. We encourage you to carefully review these disclosures and to indicate your support for our named executive officer compensation program.

YOUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS PRESENTED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

- 29 -

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

We have two separate and distinct processes concerning the submission of stockholder proposals:

Proposals to be Included in Our Proxy Statement

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, proposals by stockholders that are intended for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card and to be presented at our next annual meeting must be received by us by July 12, 2019, in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials. Such proposals should be addressed to our Secretary and may be included in next year’s proxy materials if they comply with certain rules and regulations of the SEC governing stockholder proposals.

Advance Notice Procedures

If a stockholder desires to make a proposal for consideration at an annual meeting of our stockholders or nominate someone for election to your Board, the stockholder must follow the applicable procedures under law or as outlined in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws provide that in order to make a proposal or nominate someone for election to your Board at an annual meeting of stockholders, written notice of the proposal or nomination must be received by the Corporate Secretary of RCM not more than 120 days or less than 90 days prior to that year’s annual meeting of stockholders. The notice must contain information required by our Bylaws regarding the stockholder and the proposal or nominee, as well as information required to be included in a proxy statement by SEC rules and regulations.

Stockholders are also advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of proposals and director nominations, including the information that must accompany any such stockholder notice.

Accordingly, in order for a stockholder proposal or nomination to be considered at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, a written notice of the proposal or the nomination, which includes the information required by our bylaws, must be received by the Corporate Secretary of RCM at the principal executive offices of RCM no earlier than August 16, 2019 and no later than September 15, 2019 (assuming that the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders is held on December 14, 2019, the anniversary of the 2018 Annual Meeting).

In addition, if we do not receive notice of your stockholder proposal by September 15, 2019, the proposal will be deemed “untimely” for purposes of Rule 14a-4(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the persons named as proxies in next year's proxy materials will be entitled to vote in their discretion with respect to the proposal.

A copy of the full text of our Bylaw provisions may be obtained upon written request to the Corporate Secretary of RCM at our principal place of business.

OTHER MATTERS

Your Board does not intend to present any business at the 2018 Annual Meeting other than the matters described in this proxy statement. If any other matters are properly presented for action at the 2018 Annual Meeting, it is intended that the proxy will be voted with respect thereto by the proxy holders in accordance with the instructions and at the discretion of your Board or a properly authorized committee thereof.
