A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. As a result, abstentions and broker "non-votes" are not included in the tabulation of the voting results for the election of directors or the other matters to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, each of which requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast, and therefore do not have the effect of votes of opposition in such tabulations.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 22.5pt">The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Board adopted a revised written charter for the Audit Committee on February 4, 2004. A copy of the Audit Committee's charter is available on the Company's website at <font style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif"><u>www.easterncompany.com</u></font>.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 22.5pt">Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those statements with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Within this framework, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K with the independent registered public accounting firm and management. In connection therewith, the Audit Committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm their judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the Company's accounting principles; the reasonableness of significant judgments; the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements; and other related matters as required to be discussed under generally accepted auditing standards in the United States.</div>

<div><br>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 22.5pt">In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the independence of such firm from management and from the Company, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and the Independence Standards Board, and has considered the compatibility of non-audit services with such firm's independence.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 22.5pt">The Audit Committee also discussed with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plan for their audit, their evaluation of the Company's internal control and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting. The Audit Committee held five meetings with the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, both with and without management present, during fiscal year 2017.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 22.5pt">In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2017 for filing with the SEC.

</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 24pt">Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. SEC regulations require the Company's directors, officers and 10% beneficial owners to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file. Based on a review of the copies of such reports and written representations from certain reporting persons that no such reports were required for those persons, the Company believes that all directors, officers and 10% beneficial owners complied with applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017, except for Messrs. Henry and Labbadia, each of whom inadvertently filed on late Form 4 reporting on late transaction.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">On April 28, 2010, the shareholders approved The Eastern Company 2010 Executive Stock Incentive Plan (the "2010 Plan"), which by its terms will expire either on February 9, 2020 or upon any earlier termination date established by the Board of Directors. The 2010 Plan authorizes the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options to purchase Common Shares, the grant of shares of restricted stock, and the grant of other stock-based awards (such as stock appreciation rights).&#160; The Compensation Committee determines the terms and conditions of the awards granted under the 2010 Plan, subject to the terms of the 2010 Plan.&#160; Awards may be granted to salaried officers and other key employees of the Company, whether or not such employees are also serving as directors of the Company.&#160; The 2010 Plan also provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to non-employee directors of the Company.&#160; The total amount of Common Shares with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2010 Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 500,000 shares.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">The purchase price of the Common Shares subject to each incentive stock option granted under the 2010 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of grant. The purchase price of Common Shares subject to non-qualified stock options granted under the 2010 Plan, and the price (if any) which must be paid to acquire a share of restricted stock granted under the 2010 Plan, is set by the Compensation Committee. All non-qualified stock options granted to date under prior stock option plans have required a purchase price equal to 100% of the fair market value of the Common Shares on the date of the grant.</div>

<div><br>
</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">Incentive stock options generally may not be granted under the 2010 Plan to any employee who owns more than ten percent (10%) of the Company's voting stock at the time of such grant.&#160; Incentive stock options must be exercised within ten years.&#160; Non-qualified stock options must be exercised within the period set forth in the 2010 Plan or, if the 2010 Plan permits, within the period established by the Compensation Committee.&#160; Moreover, options may not be exercised more than three months after termination of employment or termination of service as a director.&#160; However, in the case of death or disability, the option may be exercised within one year after death or disability.&#160; The three month period is also extended to one year for an optionee who terminates employment or terminates service as a director at or after reaching age sixty-five (65).</div>

Vlak &#8211; 20,000 and 20,000, respectively; John L. Sullivan III &#8211; 10,000 and 10,000, respectively; and Angelo M. Labbadia &#8211; 10,000 and 7,000, respectively. Vesting of all stock appreciation rights is subject to performance targets. Under the long term incentive plan, no cash incentives were awarded to any Named Executive Officers during the fiscal year ended December 30, 2017. Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs) entitle the recipient to a payment in shares equal to the appreciation in the Company's stock over a 5-year period.&#160; When recipients elect to exercise their SARs, the Company will multiply the total number of exercised SARs by the difference between the Company's closing share price on the exercise date and the SAR strike price. This multiplication will determine the total value of the exercised SARs. The total value of the exercised SARs will be divided by the closing share price on the exercise date to determine the number of shares awarded to the recipient.&#160; The SAR strike price is determined by the Company's closing share price on the date of the Compensation Committee's decision to grant SARs. Vesting of all stock appreciation rights is subject to performance targets. The annual performance targets for vesting of the stock appreciation rights are based on the Company's 2017, 2018, and 2019 return on invested capital.</div>

<div style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; TEXT-ALIGN: justify; TEXT-INDENT: 36pt">On March 3, 2015, the Company entered into change in control agreements with each of John L. Sullivan III, the Company's Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Angelo M. Labbadia, the Company's Vice President and Group Vice President.&#160; Each of the change in control agreements was retroactively effective January 1, 2015.&#160; The initial terms of each of the change in control agreements was from January 1 , 2015 to December 31, 2017, with the Company having the option to renew the change in control agreements by providing notice of renewal to Messrs. Sullivan or Labbadia at least 30 days prior to the end of the terms of their change in control agreement.&#160; The Company did not exercise its renewal option on or before December 31, 2017; therefore, the change in control agreements terminated on such date. The change in control agreements set forth certain benefits in the event of a change in control and a subsequent termination of employment, as well as certain noncompetition, nonsolicitation and nondisclosure covenants.</div>

Sullivan or Labbadia's employment were terminated without Cause (as defined in the change in control agreements) or for Good Reason (as defined in the change in control agreements) within six months before or twelve months after such Change in Control, Messrs. Sullivan and Labbadia would each be entitled to receive an amount equal to one times his average annual compensation (base compensation, annual bonus and pre-tax contributions to a cafeteria plan or a 401(k) plan) over the five calendar years ending on the date of termination of his employment.&#160; However, the change in control benefits would be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid the applicability of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.</div>

Labbadia, nothing in Mr. Labbadia's change in control agreement would prevent him from receiving, in addition to any amounts that he received from his change in control agreement, any amounts which would be distributable to him under the terms of any qualified employee benefit plan or any other non-qualified or incentive plan or arrangement of the Company.&#160; However, if Mr. Labbadia were to be entitled to a severance benefit under the Company's corporate policy manual severance pay policy (the "Severance Pay Policy"), then he would receive either the change in control benefit under his change in control agreement or the severance benefit payable under the Severance Pay Policy, but not both such benefits.</div>

Incentive compensation programs exist at the Corporate Office and at the Company's divisions, and no particular division carries a significant portion of the Company's overall risk profile. Stock incentive awards are also available under the Company's 2010 Executive Stock Incentive Plan. These awards are determined based upon guidelines set by the Chief Executive Officer and are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The cash incentive compensation program for corporate executives is subject to performance parameters and dollar limitations approved by the Compensation Committee. Cash incentive programs at the Company divisions are based upon attainment of specific financial performance goals that are developed on a basis consistent with the division's financial goals. These programs are approved by the Chief Executive Officer. In conclusion, management has determined that the existing incentive programs applicable to non-Named Executive Officers do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.</div>
