<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Lifetime Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), entered into a merger agreement with Taylor Parent, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (&#147;Taylor Parent&#148;) and the other parties thereto, dated as of December&nbsp;22, 2017 (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;) providing for the acquisition of Taylor Holdco, LLC (dba&nbsp;Filament Brands), a Delaware
limited liability company (&#147;Taylor&#148;), by the Company. If the acquisition contemplated by the Merger Agreement is consummated, Taylor will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Taylor Parent will be entitled to receive (i)
$27.5&nbsp;million in cash (the &#147;Cash Consideration&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;a number of shares of common stock of the Company (the &#147;Acquisition Shares&#148; and, together with the Cash Consideration, the &#147;Total Consideration&#148;), such
that, following the consummation of the acquisition, Taylor Parent will own, by virtue of the issuance of the Acquisition Shares, 27% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, including shares issuable upon the exercise of all
vested and unvested <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">in-the-money</FONT></FONT> stock options and unvested restricted shares of common stock that will vest by June&nbsp;22, 2018 pursuant to the terms of the
agreements in which such shares were granted, determined as described in the attached proxy statement, following the consummation of the acquisition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At a special meeting of our stockholders, you will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the issuance of the Acquisition
Shares. After careful consideration, our Board of Directors has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the acquisition, the issuance of the Acquisition Shares and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and determined that
the acquisition and the issuance of the Acquisition Shares is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. <B>THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE &#147;FOR&#148; THE PROPOSAL TO APPROVE THE ISSUANCE
OF THE ACQUISITION SHARES AT THE CONSUMMATION OF OUR PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF TAYLOR HOLDCO, LLC.</B> </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The special meeting will be held at

Acquisition Shares. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the proxy statement. We encourage you to read the entire proxy statement and the Merger Agreement carefully. You may also obtain more information about the Company from
documents we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares
you own. While we are not seeking stockholder approval for the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the acquisition of Taylor, we cannot consummate the acquisition and the issuance of the Acquisition Shares unless the majority of the shares present
in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the special meeting vote in favor of the proposal to approve the issuance of the Acquisition Shares. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The consummation of the acquisition is also subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions to closing as set forth in the Merger

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and we are subject to the NASDAQ listing standards set forth in its Listing
Rules. Although we are not required to obtain stockholder approval under Delaware law in connection with the Acquisition, we are required under Listing Rule 5635(a)(1) and Listing Rule&nbsp;5635(b) to seek stockholder approval of our proposed
issuance of the Acquisition Shares at the consummation of the Acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Listing Rule 5635(a)(1) requires stockholder approval prior to
the issuance of securities &#147;in connection with&#148; the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, where due to the present or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock),
other than a public offering for cash, the common stock to be issued (a)&nbsp;constitutes voting power in excess of 20% of the outstanding voting power prior to the issuance or (b)&nbsp;is or will be in excess of 20% of the outstanding common stock
prior to the issuance. In addition, Listing Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when such issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of a company. NASDAQ may deem a change of control
to occur when, as a result of an issuance, an investor or a group would own, or have the right to acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or voting power and such ownership or voting power would be the largest ownership
position of the issuer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The total shares proposed to be issued to Taylor Parent will equal 27% of our outstanding shares of common stock
at the consummation of the Acquisition on a Closing Fully Diluted Basis (as defined herein). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, under NASDAQ Listing Rule
5635(d), prior stockholder approval is required for the issuance, other than in a public offering, of securities convertible into common stock at a price less than the greater of book or market value of the common stock if the securities are
convertible into 20% or more of a company&#146;s common stock. Because the Acquisition Shares will be issued in exchange for all of the common equity interests of Taylor, the deemed issuance price of the Acquisition Shares may be less than the
greater of the book or market value of our common stock immediately before the consummation of the Acquisition. If the proposal is approved, the issuance of the Acquisition Shares will exceed 20% of our common stock currently outstanding. Because
the issuance price may be below the greater of the book or market value of our Common Stock </P>

defined in the LTIP) on or within 24 months following the Acquisition. Under the LTIP, performance stock units would also become fully vested upon such qualifying termination of employment or service as though target performance with respect to the
performance conditions thereunder had been achieved. As more fully described under &#147;Proposal 1&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Interests of the Company&#146;s Stockholders in the Acquisition,&#148; the Company&#146;s directors, executive officers and former
directors and executive officers who have served in such positions since January&nbsp;1, 2016 own an aggregate of 90,935 shares of restricted stock and 122,333 unvested options to purchase shares of our common stock, the vesting of which equity
awards would accelerate if the Acquisition is a &#147;Change of Control&#148; for purposes of the LTIP and a qualifying termination of employment or service took place. Such directors, executive officers and former directors also own an aggregate of
61,500 performance stock units. The employment agreements with each of our executive officers already provide that the restrictions on such restricted stock and vesting of such options would accelerate in connection with a termination other than for
&#147;Cause&#148; (not as a result of disability) or without &#147;Good Reason&#148; in the absence of a &#147;Change of Control&#148; (subject to the minimum vesting requirements in the LTIP which generally prohibit vesting within one year

of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company&#146;s then outstanding securities. As described elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Acquisition Shares will constitute 27% of the common stock of
the Company on a fully diluted basis. The 30% threshold for a &#147;Change of Control&#148; is measured with a smaller denominator, the number of shares of common stock of the Company actually outstanding at the consummation of the Acquisition. The

the Acquisition. Based upon the Company&#146;s trading price history as of the date of this proxy statement, the Company expects that the number of Acquisition Shares will constitute less than 30% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding
upon the consummation of the Acquisition. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that, if the trading price of the common stock increases between the date of this proxy statement and the consummation of the Acquisition, that such 30% threshold will not
be exceeded, resulting in a &#147;Change of Control&#148; under the LTIP. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Opinion of Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. </B></P>

section of the proxy statement entitled &#147;Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information,&#148; you should carefully consider the following risks before deciding how to vote on the proposals presented at the special meeting. The
risk factors related to the Acquisition present the material risks directly related to the Acquisition and the integration of the two companies presently known to us. We have also included the material risks associated with the business of Taylor
presently known to us, because these risks will also affect the Company following the consummation of the Acquisition. The risks below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in
these forward-looking statements. See &#147;Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Information&#148; beginning on page 26. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Risk Factors
Related to the Acquisition </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The number of Acquisition Shares will not be adjusted in the event of any change in our stock price. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon consummation of the Acquisition, Taylor Parent will receive a number of shares of our common stock equal to 27% of our outstanding common
stock on a Closing Fully Diluted Basis (rounded up to the nearest share). This percentage will not be adjusted for changes in the market price of our common stock between the date of signing the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Acquisition.
Increases in the price of our common stock prior to the consummation of the Acquisition will increase the value of the consideration we pay to Taylor Parent on the consummation of the Acquisition. The number and value of the Acquisition Shares are
not limited to a range of maximums and minimums by a collar or any similar mechanism. Accordingly, the value of the Acquisition Shares may exceed the value of Taylor. For example, based on the range of closing prices of our common stock during the
period from December&nbsp;21, 2017, the last trading day before public announcement of the Acquisition, through [&#9679;] 2018, the latest practicable trading date before the date of this proxy statement, the exchange ratio represented a value
ranging from a high of $[&#9679;] to a low of $[&#9679;] for each share of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These variations in the price of our common
stock could result from changes in our business, operations or prospects prior to or following the Acquisition, our stockholders&#146; perceptions of the Acquisition and Taylor, regulatory considerations, general market and economic conditions, and
other factors both within and beyond our control. The Acquisition may be consummated a considerable period of time after the date of the special meeting of the stockholders. Therefore, at the time of the special stockholders&#146; meeting, our
stockholders will not know with certainty the value of the consideration being paid to Taylor Parent. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Current stockholders will have reduced
ownership and voting interests after the Acquisition. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue 27% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a Closing
Fully Diluted Basis (rounded up to the nearest share) to Taylor Parent in the Acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When the Acquisition occurs, Taylor Parent
will become a stockholder of the Company. As a result, the percentage ownership of the Company held by each of our current stockholders will be smaller than such stockholder&#146;s percentage ownership of the Company prior to the Acquisition. Our
current stockholders will, therefore, have proportionately less ownership and voting interests in the Company following the Acquisition than they have now. In addition, if the value of the Acquisition Shares is less than the value of Taylor, then
our existing stockholders will experience dilution in the value of their shares of common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The market price of our common stock may decline

expectation is based on preliminary estimates that are subject to change. We could also encounter additional transaction and integration-related costs, may fail to realize all of the benefits
anticipated in the Acquisition, or be subject to other factors that affect preliminary estimates. Any of these factors could cause a decrease in our adjusted earnings per share or decrease the expected accretive effect of the Acquisition and
contribute to a decrease in the price of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we are unable to predict the potential effects of the issuance of
the Acquisition Shares on the trading activity and market price of our common stock. We have granted certain registration rights to Taylor Parent for the resale of the shares of our common stock issued in connection with the Acquisition. These
registration rights would facilitate the resale of such securities into the public market, and any such resale would increase the number of shares of our common stock available for public trading. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our
common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>The Acquisition will result in changes to our Board of Directors that may affect the strategy and operations of the Company as compared to that of the
Company and Taylor on a stand-alone basis. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we consummate the Acquisition, the composition of our Board of Directors will
change. Following the consummation of the Acquisition, our Board of Directors will increase from 10 to 13 directors and Robert B. Kay and two new directors designated for appointment to our Board of Directors by Taylor Parent, who shall initially be
Bruce Pollack and Michael Schnabel, are expected to become members of our Board of Directors. This new composition of our Board of Directors may affect our business strategy and operating decisions following consummation of the Acquisition. In
addition, there can be no assurances that the new Board of Directors will function effectively as a team and that there will not be any adverse effects on our business as a result. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Taylor Parent will have significant influence over us following the consummation of the Acquisition, and its interests may conflict with ours or yours
in the future. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, Taylor Parent will beneficially own approximately 27% of
our common stock on a fully diluted basis (rounded up to the nearest share). As a result, Taylor Parent will have significant influence over us. Going forward, Taylor Parent&#146;s degree of control will depend on, among other things, its level of
ownership of our common stock and its ability to exercise certain rights under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement that we will enter into with Taylor Parent in connection with the Acquisition and Merger Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Stockholders Agreement, for so long as Taylor Parent continues to beneficially own at least 50% of the Acquisition Shares, neither
the Company nor any of its subsidiaries may take any of the following actions without the approval of the directors designated by Taylor Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld: (i)&nbsp;enter into any agreement for a transaction that
would result in a change of control of the Company; (ii)&nbsp;consummate any transaction for the sale of all or substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets; (iii)&nbsp;file for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11, or for liquidation pursuant to
Chapter 7, of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; (iv)&nbsp;liquidate or dissolve the business and affairs of the Company; (v)&nbsp;take any Board of Directors action to seek an amendment to the Company Certificate of Incorporation or approve, or recommend
that the Company&#146;s stockholders approve, an amendment to our Amended and Restated Bylaws, except as required by Delaware Law (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or other applicable law and other than amendments that would not materially and
disproportionately affect Taylor Parent; (vi)&nbsp;incur additional debt in excess of $100&nbsp;million in the aggregate, subject to certain exceptions; (vii)&nbsp;acquire or dispose of assets or a business, in each case with an individual value in
excess of $100&nbsp;million; (viii)&nbsp;terminate the employment of the Chief Executive Officer, other than for cause (in which case the Company shall consult in good faith with Taylor Parent on a replacement Chief Executive Officer); or

obligations, or restrictions and that such conditions, terms, obligations, or restrictions will not have the effect of delaying consummation of the Acquisition or imposing additional material costs on, or materially reducing the revenues of, the
Company following the Acquisition. In addition, such conditions, terms, obligations, or restrictions may result in the delay or abandonment of the Acquisition. </P>

that may prevent, delay, or otherwise materially adversely affect its consummation, such as the failure to obtain third party financing and whether Taylor undergoes a material adverse event. We cannot predict whether and when these other conditions
will be satisfied. Furthermore, the requirements for obtaining the required clearances and approvals could delay the consummation of the Acquisition for a significant period of time or prevent it from occurring. Any delay in completing the
Acquisition could cause us not to realize some or all of the synergies and other benefits that we expect to achieve if the Acquisition is successfully consummated within its expected time frame. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Uncertainties associated with the Acquisition may cause a loss of management personnel and other key employees of Taylor or the Company which could

on our ability to attract or retain key management and other key personnel. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will be able to attract or retain key management personnel and other key employees until the Acquisition is consummated or

unanticipated liabilities. If we cannot integrate our business and Taylor&#146;s business successfully, we may fail to realize the expected benefits of the Acquisition. In addition, we cannot be assured that all of the goals and anticipated benefits
of the Acquisition will be achievable, particularly as the achievement of the benefits are in many important respects subject to factors that we do not control. These factors would include such things as the reactions of third parties with whom we

managing public companies or companies of our size and scope. We cannot assure you that they will not require significant time to learn our business and become familiar with various aspects of our operations. The devotion of a significant portion of

that are represented at the special meeting, but that the broker, bank, or other nominee is not empowered to vote on a particular proposal) will be counted in determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting. Brokers, banks, and other

affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation&#146;s outstanding voting securities. We expect the existence of this provision to have an
anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our Board of Directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section&nbsp;203 may discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common
stock held by stockholders. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">While Section&nbsp;203 is the default provision under the DGCL, the DGCL allows companies to opt out of

Acquisition from the restrictions of Section&nbsp;203. </P>

entered into the Merger Agreement by and among us and certain wholly-owned merger subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Taylor, Taylor Parent and, solely for purposes of certain sections therein, CP Taylor GP, LLC, on the other hand, pursuant to which
we will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Taylor through a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-step</FONT> subsidiary merger, and Taylor will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;) if the
conditions to consummation of the Acquisition are satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Board of
Directors unanimously approved our acquisition of Taylor on December&nbsp;19, 2017. No stockholder vote was required for the entry into the Merger Agreement, and no stockholder vote is required for the consummation of the Acquisition pursuant to the
Merger Agreement. We are therefore not seeking any approval or ratification of the Acquisition at the special meeting. Under Delaware law, our stockholders do not have any &#147;dissenters&#146; rights&#148; or rights to an appraisal of the value of
their shares in connection with the Acquisition or this Proposal. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company will acquire
all of the outstanding capital stock of Taylor pursuant to a transaction that is intended to be treated as a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> reorganization within the meaning of Section&nbsp;368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 (the &#147;Internal Revenue Code&#148;) where the Company remains a publicly traded company and, in the form of a forward merger, that is structured as &#147;two step&#148;. A subsidiary of and newly formed by the Company shall be merged with

another subsidiary of and newly formed by of the Company, whereupon the Initial Surviving Company will cease to exist and the subsidiary will continue as the surviving entity, known as the &#147;Ultimate Surviving Subsidiary.&#148; At the closing,
the equity holder of Taylor will receive (a) $27.5&nbsp;million of cash consideration subject to the escrow and adjustment provisions as described in the Merger Agreement and (b)&nbsp;the Acquisition Shares, which shall be that number of shares of
newly issued common stock of the Company representing 27% of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company, on a Closing Fully Diluted Basis as of immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition after taking into effect the
issuance thereof (rounded up to the nearest share). A portion of the cash consideration received by Taylor&#146;s equity holders pursuant to the Acquisition shall be used to redeem all of Taylor&#146;s outstanding preferred interests held by an
unaffiliated third party. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Following the consummation and as a result of the Acquisition, if consummated, the Acquisition Shares will

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The approval by our stockholders of the issuance of the Acquisition Shares is a condition to the consummation of the Acquisition in order to
comply with NASDAQ listing rules, as further described below. In the event that the issuance of the Acquisition Shares is not approved at the special meeting, we will not be able to consummate the Acquisition, and the Merger Agreement may be
terminated in accordance with its terms. The Merger Agreement is summarized later in this section, and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached to this proxy statement as <B>Annex A</B>. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market, and we are subject to the NASDAQ listing standards set forth in its listing rules (the
&#147;Listing Rules&#148;). Although we are not required to obtain stockholder approval in connection with our acquisition of Taylor, we are required under Listing Rule 5635(a)(1), Listing Rule 5635(b) and Listing Rule 5635(d) to seek stockholder
approval of our proposed issuance of the Acquisition Shares at the consummation of the Acquisition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Listing Rule 5635(a)(1) requires
stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities &#147;in connection with&#148; the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company, where due to the present or potential issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for common stock), other than a public offering for cash, the common stock to be issued (a)&nbsp;constitutes voting power in excess of 20% of the outstanding voting power prior to the issuance or (b)&nbsp;is or will be in excess of 20%
of the outstanding common stock prior to the issuance. In addition, Listing Rule 5635(b) requires stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities when such issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of a company.
NASDAQ may deem a change of control to occur when, as a result of an issuance, an investor or a group would own, or have the right to acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock or voting power and such ownership or voting power
would be the largest ownership position of the issuer. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The total shares proposed to be issued to Taylor Parent will constitute 27% of the
total voting power of the Company&#146;s voting securities on a Closing Fully Diluted Basis following the consummation of the Acquisition (rounded up to the nearest share). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), prior stockholder approval is required for the issuance, other than in a public offering, of
securities convertible into common stock at a price less than the greater of book or market value of the common stock if the securities are convertible into 20% or more of a company&#146;s common stock. Because the Acquisition Shares will be issued
in exchange for all of the capital stock of Taylor, the deemed issuance price of the Acquisition Shares may be less than the greater of the book or market value of our common stock immediately before the closing of the Acquisition. If the proposal
is approved, the issuance of the Acquisition Shares will exceed 20% of our common stock currently outstanding. Because the issuance price may be below the greater of the book or market value of our Common Stock immediately prior to the consummation
of the Acquisition, the NASDAQ Listing Rules may require that we obtain stockholder approval of the issuance of the Acquisition Shares at the consummation of the Acquisition. Therefore, we are requesting stockholder approval for the issuance of the
Acquisition Shares under the NASDAQ Listing Rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Voting Agreement </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the Merger Agreement, at the specific request of Taylor and Taylor Parent and as an inducement to their willingness to enter
into the Merger Agreement, certain of our stockholders, including our Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Siegel, our Chief Operating Officer, Ronald Shiftan, our President, Daniel Siegel and our Executive Vice-President &#150; Global Supply Chain,
Clifford Siegel entered into a Voting Agreement with Taylor Parent, whereby each of the Agreed Voting Persons agreed, among other things, to vote all of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned (other than with respect to unexercised
options held by such persons) by such Agreed Voting Persons in favor of the approval of the issuance of the Acquisition Shares. Further, the Agreed Voting Persons agreed during the term such person&#146;s respective voting restrictions under the
Voting Agreement are in effect, not to, directly or indirectly Transfer, or enter into any contract, option, or other arrangement or understanding providing for the Transfer of any of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such Agreed
Voting Person, except for certain permitted Transfers as described in the Voting Agreement. As of the record date, the Agreed Voting Persons beneficially owned (excluding shares underlying unexercised options) approximately 11% of the total

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Background of the Taylor Acquisition </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As part of its ongoing activities, the Company&#146;s Board of Directors and senior management regularly evaluate the Company&#146;s business
operations, growth as an independent company, and long-term strategic opportunities, including prospects for mergers and acquisitions, each with a view towards maximizing stockholder value. These evaluations consider all aspects of the
Company&#146;s business and its financial performance and condition, including relations with the Company&#146;s principal customers, its prospects for new business with existing customers and business with new customers, and the potential
deployment of the Company&#146;s available borrowing capacity and its access to the capital markets for potential acquisitions and cash and borrowing capacity for working capital requirements for organic growth. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">During the spring and summer months of 2017, the Company&#146;s management evaluated a number of potential acquisition opportunities. One of
the opportunities considered was the acquisition of Fitz&nbsp;&amp; Floyd, which the Company completed in September 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In summer 2017,
Mr.&nbsp;Robert B. Kay, the Chief Executive Officer of Taylor, called Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel, the chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, requesting that they schedule a meeting. Mr.&nbsp;Kay did not disclose the reason for the
meeting. Mr.&nbsp;Kay and Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel agreed to meet at the Company&#146;s showroom in New York City on July&nbsp;31, 2017. At that meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Kay proposed that the Company acquire Taylor in a transaction whereby the Company would
issue new shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the equity of Taylor. Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel responded that the proposal was interesting, but that more time was needed to consider whether this approach made sense to the Company in light
of its strategic view of maximizing stockholder value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;3, 2017, at a meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee of the
Company&#146;s Board of Directors, which was attended by all of the members of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors, Mr.&nbsp;Ronald Shiftan, the Company&#146;s Vice Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, updated the committee about the discussions
between Mr.&nbsp;Siegel and Mr.&nbsp;Kay regarding a potential acquisition of Taylor by the Company. After some discussion, the committee agreed that the Company should continue discussions with Taylor regarding a potential transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;18, 2017, Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel and Mr.&nbsp;Kay met again to further discuss a potential transaction in which the Company
would acquire Taylor. At the meeting, Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel and Mr.&nbsp;Kay discussed the structure of the potential transaction, with the Company as the acquirer and Mr.&nbsp;Kay becoming the Chief Executive Officer of the Company following the
consummation of such transaction. Also, at this meeting Mr.&nbsp;Kay provided Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel additional information regarding Taylor&#146;s financial and business operations and performance and its capitalization, proposing that Taylor
equity holders should own approximately 33.5% of the Company, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pro-forma</FONT> following the consummation of the transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;21, 2017, the parties executed a mutual <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-disclosure</FONT> agreement to facilitate the
sharing of confidential information relating to the transaction. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Throughout the remainder of August 2017, Mr.&nbsp;Jeffrey Siegel and
Mr.&nbsp;Kay continued to discuss the potential transaction and how to progress the evaluation of the transaction within their respective organizations, including by visits at the offices of each of the Company and Taylor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On August&nbsp;28, 2017, Mr.&nbsp;Shiftan notified the Company&#146;s Board of Directors by email that the Company&#146;s senior management
team was continuing to engage in discussions with Taylor regarding the Company&#146;s possible acquisition of Taylor. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Throughout early
September 2017, senior management of the Company and Taylor conducted several telephone conversations regarding scheduling <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">follow-up</FONT> meetings and visits to each party&#146;s respective offices and a proposed
agenda for such meetings and visits. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Recently Issued Accounting Standards </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (&#147;FASB&#148;) issued new authoritative accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.
The new standard provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which Taylor expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also
requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided about
the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. In August 2015, the FASB changed the effective date of the new revenue recognition accounting guidance for private companies to
be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after the original effective date of December&nbsp;15, 2016. Taylor is in the
process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and the timing of the adoption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In November 2015, the FASB
issued new authoritative accounting guidance on simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes, which requires that deferred income tax liabilities and assets be presented as a net <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-current</FONT> deferred
tax asset or liability by jurisdiction on the balance sheet. The current requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-paying</FONT> component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount
is unchanged. This guidance is effective for periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017; however, earlier adoption is permitted for all entities for any interim or annual statements that have not been issued. Taylor is in the process of
evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and the timing of the adoption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In February 2016, the FASB issued new
authoritative accounting guidance on leases which increases transparency and comparability for lease transactions. The new standard brings substantially all leases on the balance sheets for operating lease arrangements with lease terms greater than
12 months for lessees. This update will require a modified retrospective application, which includes a number of optional practical expedients related to the identification and classification of leases commenced before the effective date. The new
standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. Taylor is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and
the timing of the adoption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, <I>Simplifying</I><I> the Test for Goodwill Impairment</I>. ASU 2017-04
simplifies how entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount.
An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit&#146;s fair value. The ASU is effective for the Company&#146;s fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. Early adoption is
permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. </P>

balance for quarters in fiscal year 2016, and 1.25% of outstanding principal balance for quarters thereafter, with the remainder due on the maturity date. Taylor may make prepayments as allowed under the Credit Agreement, which are applied against
future principal installments. At Taylor&#146;s option, borrowings under the Revolver and terms loans are based on London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.5% or the base rate, as defined by the terms of the Credit Agreement, with a floor of
5.5%. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the interest rate for the term loans was based on LIBOR and stated at 5.5%. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, interest payable of $1.3 million was outstanding. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In December 2014, Taylor amended its Subordinated Credit Agreement (&#147;Subordinated Debt&#148;) dated June 8, 2012, which was previously amended in

$44.8 million, with the ability to draw additional notes under the amended agreement of up to $22.1 million. The second amendment provided for an increase in the Subordinated Debt of $6.9 million, for a total of $51.7 million. The Subordinated Debt
matures on May 6, 2019. No principal payments are required until maturity. The Subordinated Debt carries cash interest of 13% including, at the option of Taylor, payment-in-kind interest of 2% payable quarterly. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, interest
payable of $0.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, was accrued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Credit Agreement and Subordinated Debt agreement contain restrictive covenants,

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Use of Estimates </U></I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preparation of consolidated
financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Trade Receivables </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Collateral or other security is generally not required on trade receivables. Taylor monitors the credit quality of its customers, and an allowance for doubtful
accounts is maintained at a level management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses based on historical bad debt <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">write-off</FONT> experience and specific risks identified for uncollected accounts.
Trade receivables are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be collected. Trade receivables are presented net of reserves for estimated customer returns and allowances, at net realizable value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Inventories </U></I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Inventories consist primarily of
finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">first-in,</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">first-out</FONT> method. Certain slow-moving items have been reduced to net
realizable value based on recent sales activity and management&#146;s best estimate of future transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Long-Lived Assets </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets or groups of assets is assessed based on a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated, future net cash flows. If estimated future undiscounted net
cash flows are less than the carrying amount, the asset is considered impaired and expense is recorded at an amount required to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Intangible assets with finite lives are generally amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated economic useful lives ranging from 5 to 15
years. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for under the acquisition
method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized. Taylor tests goodwill annually as of March&nbsp;31 at the reporting unit level. Taylor has determined that it has one reporting unit. At each impairment testing date, Taylor performs a quantitative
assessment of goodwill and compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, a second step would be performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between
the implied fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The second impairment assessment, if required, involves allocating the reporting unit&#146;s
fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#146;s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit&#146;s goodwill is
then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. For the years ended March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, based on the results of our quantitative analyses, Taylor determined there was no
impairment of goodwill. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually as of March&nbsp;31 and whenever events or circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Taylor recognized impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fiscal years ended March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor&#146;s subsidiary, Taylor Precision Products, Inc., is a corporation formed under Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code and is subject to corporate
taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are
expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense is measured by the change in the deferred tax assets or liabilities during the year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor recognizes
the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the
largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management believes Taylor has no unrecognized tax benefits. Taylor&#146;s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with examinations by
tax authorities is to record such items as a component of income tax expense. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor and its subsidiaries&#146; tax years ending in 2012 through 2016
remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities. Taylor files state income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions, each with unique laws regarding statutes of limitations. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On December 22, 2017, the &#147;Tax Cuts and Jobs Act&#148; tax reform was signed into law. The provisions of the new law, including the U.S. Corporate rate
reductions, are generally effective in 2018. The value of the deferred tax assets on Taylor&#146;s balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 of $11.3 million, could significantly change as a result of the reduced U.S. corporate income tax rate. While
the effects have not been determined, the results of operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 could be adversely affected by a non-cash charge to reflect the reduction in value of these assets. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Fair Value Measurements </U></I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor follows FASB
Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) Topic <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">820-10,</FONT> Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">820-10</FONT> defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction. Fair value measurement is based on a hierarchy of observable or unobservable inputs. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level 1&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date;
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level 2&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Inputs to the valuation methodology other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly
observable as of the reporting date, and the fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Level
3&nbsp;&#151;&nbsp;Inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity of the asset and liability and the reporting entity makes estimates or assumptions relating to the pricing of the
asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor followed purchase accounting conventions as prescribed by ASC 805, <I>Business
Combinations</I>, to establish the opening balance sheet of the acquired entities for all its acquisitions. The fair value measurement methods used to estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date
utilized a number of significant unobservable inputs of Level&nbsp;3 assumptions. These assumptions included, among other things, projections of future operating results, the implied fair value of assets using an income approach by preparing a
discounted cash flow analysis, and other subjective assumptions. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The carrying values of financial instruments such as cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and
accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value because of the short maturity of these items. Taylor believes that the current carrying amount of its long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these
instruments are subject to change with, or approximate, market interest rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Revenue Recognition </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor recognizes revenues when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, upon the later of shipment of product to the
customer or when title to the product transfers to the customer per the terms of the sales contract, Taylor&#146;s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of estimated sales
returns and allowances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Customer Rebates and Consumer Advertising </U></I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor participates in cooperative advertising and other rebate programs with its customers, including volume rebates. These amounts are reflected as a
reduction to net sales. Taylor expenses all consumer advertising costs as incurred. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The reserves for cooperative advertising and other rebates are
included in net receivables. Reserves are estimated using historical experience and terms of existing arrangements with customers. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I><U>Merchandise
Returns </U></I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sales returns under merchandise return programs are reflected in net sales. Reserves for estimated merchandise returns included in net

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of Taylor. Taylor is exposed
to market risk associated with changes in interest rates. Taylor believes it has moderate exposure to this risk. Taylor assesses market risk based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential loss in
earnings and cash flows based on a hypothetical 10% or 100 basis point change in these rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Taylor&#146;s Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan,
provided for under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates. The Credit Agreement provides for interest rates linked to one of the Adjusted LIBOR or the Prime Rate; and, therefore, Taylor is subject to increases and decreases in interest
expense resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. As of March&nbsp;31, 2017, approximately $133.8&nbsp;million of Taylor&#146;s debt carries a variable rate of interest, as compared to $137.7&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2016. A hypothetical
and instantaneous 100 basis point increase in Taylor&#146;s variable interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $1.4&nbsp;million over a twelve-month period. The sensitivity analysis above assumes interest rate changes are
instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">With the proposed transaction Taylor&#146;s debt would be extinguished and the risk discussed above
would cease to exist. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The Merger Agreement </B></P>

transactions contemplated by the Acquisition do not constitute a Change of Control, and therefore the below payments and benefits are not affected by the Acquisition. None of the named executive officers are entitled to receive any payments or
benefits solely as a result of a Change of Control of the Company. The amounts in the table assume, where applicable, that the named executive officer&#146;s employment is terminated in circumstances that would trigger the right to receive severance
benefits in connection with a Change of Control of the Company under the agreements described above (a &#147;Qualifying Termination&#148;), that the named executive officer satisfies all conditions applicable to such payments as described above,
including the execution and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-revocation</FONT> of a release of all claims against the Company, and that such a Qualifying Termination of the executive&#146;s employment occurred on December&nbsp;15, 2017. As
described elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Acquisition would constitute a &#147;Change of Control&#148; under the LTIP if the number of Acquisition Shares exceeds 30% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the consummation of
the Acquisition. The actual amounts that would be paid upon a named executive officer&#146;s termination of employment can be determined only at the time of such executive&#146;s separation from the Company. As a result, the actual amounts received
by a named executive officer may differ in material respects from the amounts set forth below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>GOLDEN PARACHUTE COMPENSATION TABLE

used in Houlihan Lokey&#146;s analyses for comparative purposes is identical to Taylor, the Company or the proposed transaction<B> </B>and an evaluation of the results of those analyses is not entirely mathematical. As a consequence, mathematical
derivations (such as the high, low, mean and median) of financial data are not by themselves meaningful and in selecting the ranges of multiples to be applied were considered in conjunction with experience and the exercise of judgment. The estimates
contained in the financial forecasts prepared by the management of Taylor and the Company and the implied reference range values indicated by Houlihan Lokey&#146;s analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future
results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than those suggested by the analyses. In addition, any analyses relating to the value of assets, businesses or securities do not purport to be appraisals or to reflect the prices
at which businesses or securities actually may be sold, which may depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company. Much of the information used in, and accordingly the results of, Houlihan Lokey&#146;s analyses
are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. </P>

summary of Houlihan Lokey&#146;s analyses is not a complete description of the analyses underlying Houlihan Lokey&#146;s opinion. The preparation of such an opinion is a complex process involving various quantitative and qualitative judgments and
determinations with respect to the financial, comparative and other analytical methods employed and the adaptation and application of these methods to the unique facts and circumstances presented. As a consequence, neither Houlihan Lokey&#146;s
opinion nor its underlying analyses is readily susceptible to summary description. Houlihan Lokey arrived at its opinion based on the results of all analyses undertaken by it and assessed as a whole and did not draw, in isolation, conclusions from
or with regard to any individual analysis, methodology or factor. While the results of each analysis were taken into account in reaching Houlihan Lokey&#146;s overall conclusion with respect to fairness, Houlihan Lokey did not make separate or
quantifiable judgments regarding individual analyses. No company, transaction or business used in Houlihan Lokey&#146;s analyses for comparative purposes is identical to Taylor, the Company or the Acquisition. Accordingly, Houlihan Lokey believes
that its analyses and the following summary must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of its analyses, methodologies and factors, without considering all analyses, methodologies and factors, could create a misleading or incomplete

accelerated vesting in the event of an award holder&#146;s subsequent termination of employment or service other than for &#147;Cause&#148; (not as a result of disability) or &#147;Good Reason&#148; (each as defined in the LTIP) within 24 months
thereafter. As set forth in the table below, the Company&#146;s directors, executive officers and former directors and executive officers who have served in such positions since January&nbsp;1, 2016 own an aggregate of 90,935 shares of restricted
stock and 122,333 unvested options to purchase shares of our common stock, the vesting of which equity awards would accelerate if the Acquisition is a &#147;Change of Control&#148; for purposes of the LTIP and a qualifying termination of employment
or service took place. Such directors, executive officers and former directors also own an aggregate of 61,500 performance stock units, assuming target&nbsp;performance. The employment agreements with each of our executive officers already provide
that the restrictions on such restricted stock and vesting of such options would accelerate in connection with a termination other than for &#147;Cause&#148; (not as a result of disability) or without &#147;Good Reason&#148; in the absence of a
&#147;Change of Control&#148; (subject to the minimum vesting requirements in the LTIP which generally prohibit vesting within one year following the date of grant other than in connection with death, disability or a change of control), but such
employment agreements do not provide for the acceleration of performance stock units or the deemed satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions. Under the terms of each executive officer&#146;s performance stock unit award agreement, if the
executive officer&#146;s employment is terminated other than for &#147;Cause&#148; (not as a result of disability) or without &#147;Good Reason&#148; absent a Change of Control, the executive officer is entitled to receive a pro-rated payout of the
performance stock units at the end of the performance period, based on actual achievement of performance goals and the portion of the performance period that the executive officer is actively employed. </P>

representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company&#146;s then outstanding securities. As described elsewhere in this proxy statement, the Acquisition Shares will constitute 27% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted
basis. The 30% threshold for a &#147;Change of Control&#148; is measured with a smaller denominator, the number of shares of common stock of the Company actually outstanding at the consummation of the Acquisition. The actual number of Acquisition
Shares will depend, in part, upon the number of shares of common stock underlying <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;in-the-money&#148;</FONT></FONT> options as of the consummation of the Acquisition. Based upon
the Company&#146;s trading price history as of the date of this proxy statement, the Company expects that the number of Acquisition Shares will constitute less than 30% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding upon the consummation of the
Acquisition. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that, if the trading price of the common stock increases between the date of this proxy statement and the consummation of the Acquisition, that such 30% threshold will not be exceeded, resulting in a

bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax expense is measured by the change in the deferred tax assets or
liabilities during the year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax
positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Management believes the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company&#146;s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with examinations by tax authorities is to record such items as a component of income tax
expense. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company and its subsidiaries&#146; tax years ending in 2012 through 2016 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

as of September 30, 2017 of $11.3 million could significantly change as a result of the reduced U.S. corporate income tax rate. While the effects have not been determined, the results of operations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 could be

if circumstances were to adversely change, Taylor may seek alternative sources of liquidity including debt and/or equity financing. However, there can be no assurance that any such alternative sources would be available or sufficient. Taylor closely
monitors the creditworthiness of its customers. Based upon its evaluation of changes in customers&#146; creditworthiness, Taylor may modify credit limits and/or terms of sale. However, notwithstanding Taylor&#146;s efforts to monitor its

$8,309, respectively.&nbsp;The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis using market and operating performance projections available at the balance sheet dates, a risk free interest rate of
approximately 1%, and discounted over the remaining months until expiration of the agreement on December&nbsp;23, 2017. For the six months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and 2016, there was a change in the estimated fair value of the contingent
consideration of $42 and $0, respectively. The contingent consideration payable is due within 60 days of the expiration of the agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Other than
goodwill, the acquired intangible assets primarily consist of trade names, technology, non-compete agreements, and customer relationships. The weighted-average amortization period for the acquired finite-lived intangible assets is 13 years. The fair

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In December 2014, the Company amended its Senior Credit Agreement (&#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) dated
June&nbsp;8, 2012, which was previously amended in November 2013. The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving line of credit (the &#147;Revolver&#148;), which was subsequently increased from $15,000 to $20,000. As of September&nbsp;30, 2017, there
were no borrowings outstanding on the Revolver. In addition, the original agreement dated June&nbsp;8, 2012 provided for $66,600 in term debt, of which $54,780 was outstanding at the time of amendment (&#147;Senior Debt&#148;). The first amendment
provided for an increase in the term loan of $70,000, for a total of $124,780. The second amendment provided for supplemental term loans of $41,310. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Company is required to make quarterly principal payments, adjusted for any prepayments, on the Senior Debt and the supplemental term loan in the amount of 0.625% of outstanding principal for quarters in fiscal year 2016, and 1.25% of outstanding
principal for quarters thereafter, with the remainder due on November&nbsp;6, 2018, the maturity date. The Company may make prepayments as allowed under the Credit Agreement, which are applied against future principal installments. On August 7,
2017, the Company made a prepayment of $4,855 which was applied to future principle installments. At the Company&#146;s option, borrowings under the Revolver and Senior Debt are based on London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.5% or the base
rate, as defined by the terms of the agreement, with a floor of 5.5%. At September&nbsp;30, 2017 and 2016, the interest rate for the Senior Debt was based on LIBOR and stated at 5.5%. At September&nbsp;30, 2017, interest payable of $1,455 was
outstanding and is included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In December 2014, the Company amended its Subordinated Credit
Agreement (&#147;Subordinated Debt&#148;) dated June&nbsp;8, 2012, which was previously amended in November 2013. The original agreement dated June&nbsp;8, 2012 provided $25,600 in term debt which was outstanding at the time of amendment. The first
amendment provided for an increase in the Subordinated Debt of $19,200, for a total of $44,800, with the ability to draw additional notes under the amended agreement of up to $22,100. The second amendment provided for an increase in the Subordinated
Debt of $6,900, for a total of $51,700. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subordinated Debt under the amended agreements matures on May&nbsp;6, 2019. No principal payments are required
until maturity. The Subordinated Debt carries cash interest of 13% including, at the option of the Company, payment-in-kind interest of 2% payable quarterly. At September&nbsp;30, 2017, interest payable of $0 was outstanding and is included within
accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company capitalized $232 and $2,522 of additional debt fees in December 2014 and November
2013, respectively, associated with the amended Senior Credit and amended Subordinated Credit Agreements, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of the agreements, which does not materially differ from the
effective interest rate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Credit Agreement and Subordinated Debt agreement contain restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations
on capital expenditures and require maintenance of minimum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The outstanding debt is collateralized by substantially all of the Company&#146;s assets. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of
September&nbsp;30, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows: </P>

in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Auditor&#146;s Responsibility </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures
selected depend on the auditor&#146;s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal
control relevant to the entity&#146;s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the entity&#146;s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Opinion </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Taylor Holdco, LLC

Recoverability of long-lived assets or groups of assets is assessed based on a comparison of the carrying amount to the estimated, future net cash flows. If estimated future undiscounted net cash

method of accounting. Goodwill is not amortized. We test goodwill annually as of March&nbsp;31 at the reporting unit level. We have determined the Company has one reporting unit. At each impairment testing date, we perform a quantitative assessment
of goodwill and compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, a second step would be performed to compute the amount of impairment as the difference between the implied
fair value of goodwill and the carrying value. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The second impairment assessment, if required, involves allocating the reporting unit&#146;s fair value to
all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit&#146;s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit&#146;s goodwill is then compared
to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. For the years ended March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, based on the results of our quantitative analyses, we determined there was no impairment of
goodwill. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually as of March&nbsp;31 and whenever events or circumstances indicate that

liabilities during the year. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax
positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate
settlement. Management believes the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company&#146;s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with examinations by tax authorities is to record such items as a component of income tax

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In May 2014, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.
The new standard provides new criteria for recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It
also requires expanded disclosures to provide greater insight into both revenue that has been recognized and revenue that is expected to be recognized in the future from existing contracts. Quantitative and qualitative information will be provided
about the significant judgments and changes in those judgments that management made to determine the revenue that is recorded. In August 2015, the FASB changed the effective date of the new revenue recognition accounting guidance for private
companies to be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after the original effective date of December&nbsp;15, 2016. The
Company is in the process of reviewing customer contracts and evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and the timing of the adoption. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In November 2015, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance on simplifying the presentation of deferred income taxes, which requires that deferred
income tax liabilities and assets be presented as a net <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-current</FONT> deferred tax asset or liability by jurisdiction on the balance sheet. The current requirement that deferred tax assets and liabilities of a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-paying</FONT> component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is unchanged. This guidance is effective for periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2017; however, earlier adoption is permitted for
all entities for any interim or annual statements that have not been issued. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In February 2016, the FASB issued new authoritative accounting guidance on leases which increases transparency and comparability for lease transactions. The
new standard brings substantially all leases on the balance sheets for operating lease arrangements with lease terms greater than 12 months for lessees. This update will require a modified retrospective application, which includes a number of
optional practical expedients related to the identification and classification of leases commenced before the effective date. The new standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2019, with early
adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (&#147;ASU&#148;) <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2015-11,</FONT> <I>Simplifying the Measurement of

period. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In January
2017, the FASB issued ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2017-04,</FONT> <I>Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment</I>. ASU <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">2017-04</FONT> simplifies how entities assess goodwill for impairment by eliminating
Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. As amended, the goodwill impairment test will consist of one step comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount
by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit&#146;s fair value. The ASU is effective for the Company&#146;s fiscal year ended March&nbsp;31, 2023. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on
testing dates after January&nbsp;1, 2017. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. </P>

</TABLE> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In December 2014, the Company amended its Senior Credit Agreement (&#147;Credit Agreement&#148;) dated June&nbsp;8, 2012,
which was previously amended in November 2013. The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving line of credit (the &#147;Revolver&#148;), which was subsequently increased from $15,000 to $20,000. As of March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, there were no
borrowings outstanding on the Revolver. In addition, the original agreement dated June&nbsp;8, 2012 provided for $66,600 in term debt, of which $54,780 was outstanding at the time of amendment (&#147;Senior Debt&#148;). The first amendment provided
for an increase in the term loan of $70,000, for a total of $124,780. The second amendment provided for supplemental term loans of $41,310. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company
is required to make quarterly principal payments, adjusted for any prepayments, on the Senior Debt and the supplemental term loan in the amount of 0.625% of outstanding principal for quarters in fiscal year 2016, and 1.25% of outstanding principal
for quarters thereafter, with the remainder due on November&nbsp;6, 2018, the maturity date. The Company may make prepayments as allowed under the Credit Agreement, which are applied against future principal installments. At the Company&#146;s
option, borrowings under the Revolver and Senior Debt are based on London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 4.5% or the base rate, as defined by the terms of the agreement, with a floor of 5.5%. At March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, the interest
rate for the Senior Debt was based on LIBOR and stated at 5.5%. At March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, interest payable of $1,275, $1,294, and $464, respectively, was outstanding and is included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated
balance sheets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In December 2014, the Company amended its Subordinated Credit Agreement (&#147;Subordinated Debt&#148;) dated June&nbsp;8, 2012, which
was previously amended in November 2013. The original agreement dated June&nbsp;8, 2012 provided $25,600 in term debt which was outstanding at the time of amendment. The first amendment provided for an increase in the Subordinated Debt of $19,200,
for a total of $44,800, with the ability to draw additional notes under the amended agreement of up to $22,100. The second amendment provided for an increase in the Subordinated Debt of $6,900, for a total of $51,700. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subordinated Debt under the amended agreements matures on May&nbsp;6, 2019. No principal payments are required until maturity. The Subordinated Debt carries
cash interest of 13% including, at the option of the Company, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">payment-in-kind</FONT></FONT> interest of 2% payable quarterly. At March&nbsp;31, 2017, 2016, and 2015, interest payable
of $0, $1,680, and $0, respectively was outstanding and is included within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company
capitalized $232 and $2,522 of additional debt fees in December 2014 and November 2013, respectively, associated with the amended Senior Credit and amended Subordinated Credit Agreements, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis through
the maturity date of the agreements, which does not materially differ from the effective interest rate method. </P>

Company (the &#147;Acquisition&#148;). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared for illustrative purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company&#146;s
condensed financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Acquisition occurred as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the
future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments are based on the information available at the time of the Company&#146;s preparation of this proxy statement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on September&nbsp;30, 2017 and the unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2016 are presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2016. The historical financial
statements of Taylor were derived from the audited financial statements for Taylor&#146;s fiscal year ended March&nbsp;31, 2017, included herein. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30,
2017 combines the Company&#146;s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 with Taylor&#146;s unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017
(comprised of the six months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017 and the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2017). In order to prepare the accompanying pro forma combined statements of operations, Taylor&#146;s net sales of $44.9 million and net loss of
$2.2 million for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2017 were included in both the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;31, 2017 and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2017. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma
financial statements to give effect to events that are (1)&nbsp;directly attributable to the Acquisition, (2)&nbsp;factually supportable, and (3)&nbsp;with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined
company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations do not reflect any non-recurring charges directly related to the Acquisition that may be incurred upon completion of the transactions. Further, because the tax rate used
for these pro forma financial statements is an estimated statutory tax rate, it will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to completion of the Acquisition, and no adjustment has been made to the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information as it relates to limitations on the ability to utilize deferred tax assets, such as those related to net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, as a result of the Acquisition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes

subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as well as the other information contained in this proxy statement. Further review may identify additional differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a
material impact on the financial statements of the combined company. At this time, Taylor and the Company are not aware of any accounting policy differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial

be performed and management anticipates that the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized during a period not to exceed one year following the date of completion of the transactions. Differences between these

assessments, and estimates of these costs are not currently known. However, liabilities ultimately may be recorded for severance, relocation or retention costs in subsequent periods related to employees of both companies, as well as the costs of
vacating certain leased facilities of either company or other costs associated with exiting or transferring activities between the companies. The ultimate recognition of such costs and liabilities would affect amounts in the unaudited pro forma

of the Adjustment Items, each calculated with reference to the items that are in dispute as set forth in the Dispute Notice. Buyer and the Seller shall instruct the Independent Accountant that, in resolving the items in the Dispute Notice that are
still in dispute and in determining the Adjustment Items, the Independent Accountant shall (i)&nbsp;not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (A)&nbsp;greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Buyer in the Closing Statement,
on the one hand, or the Seller in the Dispute Notice, on the other hand, or (B)&nbsp;less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Seller, on the other hand in the Dispute Notice,

conclusive and binding on the Parties with respect to the Adjustment Items and (iv)&nbsp;provide a written report to Buyer and the Seller, if requested by either of them, which sets forth in reasonable detail the basis for the Independent
Accountant&#146;s final determination. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputes not awarded
to each of Buyer and the Seller bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if the Seller claims that the appropriate adjustments are $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Buyer and if the Independent Accountant
ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding to the Seller $300 of the $1,000 contested, then the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant will be allocated 30% (i.e., 300 &divide; 1,000) to Buyer and 70% (i.e., 700 &divide; 1,000) to the
