The words "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "target," "goal" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Proposal 1 | Election of Directors
Our By-Laws provide that the Board is to consist of no fewer than five and no more than 13 members. Our Board currently consists of 7 directors, who are elected annually by our stockholders to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. All nominees were elected at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Except where authority to vote for directors has been withheld, it is intended that the proxies received pursuant to this solicitation will be voted "FOR" the nominees named below. If for any reason any nominee does not stand for election, such proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those named and may be voted for substitute nominees in place of those who do not stand. Management has no reason to expect that any of the nominees will not stand for election. The Nominating Committee has determined that each director meets the qualification standards described below under "The LGL Group, Inc. Board of Directors - Director Nominations." Additionally, the Board believes that the experience, attributes, and skills of any single director should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in the context of the experience, attributes, and skills that all Director Nominees bring to the Board as a whole, each of which contributes to an effective Board. At our Annual Meeting, our stockholders will be asked to elect 7 nominees to our Board (collectively, the "Director Nominees").

Director Nominations

In evaluating and determining whether to nominate a candidate for a position on the Board, the Nominating Committee utilizes a variety of methods and considers criteria such as high professional ethics and values, relevant management and/or manufacturing experience and a commitment to enhancing stockholder value. Candidates may be brought to the attention of the Nominating Committee by current Board members, stockholders, officers or other persons. The Nominating Committee will review all candidates in the same manner regardless of the source of the recommendation.

The Company does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the Nominating Committee strives to nominate director candidates with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the Board will possess the appropriate talent, skills and expertise to oversee the Company’s businesses.

The Nominating Committee also considers stockholder recommendations for director nominees that are properly received in accordance with the Company’s By-Laws and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). In order to validly nominate a candidate for election or reelection as a director, stockholders must give timely notice of such nomination in writing to the Corporate Secretary and include, as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"), and the other rules and regulations under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in the Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected). For more information on director candidate nominations by stockholders, see "Stockholder Proposals" herein.

Director Independence

Pursuant to NYSE American rules, in order for a director to qualify as "independent," the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with the Company that would impair the director's independence. Additionally, NYSE rules require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as "independent."

The Board has determined that Messrs. Aslansan, Francois, and Kalha and Ms. DeRemer are independent within the meaning of NYSE American rules.

Messrs. Ferrantino, Foufas, and Gabelli are not independent pursuant to NYSE American rules because they were an executive officer of the Company during fiscal year 2023.

The Board's Role in Risk Oversight

Senior management is responsible for assessing and managing the Company’s various exposures to risk on a day-to-day basis, including the creation of appropriate risk management programs and policies. We have developed a consistent, systemic and integrated approach to risk management to help determine how best to identify, manage and mitigate significant risks throughout the Company, which includes our system of internal controls over financial reporting, annual reviews conducted by our directors and officers, monitoring compliance with our Business Conduct Policy and general liability insurance coverage. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the execution of its responsibilities and for assessing the Company’s approach to risk management. The Board exercises these responsibilities periodically as part of its meetings and also through the Board’s three principal committees, each of which examines various components of enterprise risk as part of its responsibilities. In addition, an overall review of risk is inherent in the Board’s consideration of the Company’s long-term strategies and in the transactions and other matters presented to the Board, including capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures, and financial matters.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Proposal 2 | Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation
In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are submitting to stockholders our annual "say-on-pay proposal", an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement. At our 2023 Annual Meeting, approximately 99% of the votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal were voted in favor of the proposal, indicating stockholder support for the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. However, we are submitting this proposal to continue to give stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. At our December 29, 2020 stockholder meeting, stockholders approved a frequency of one year for the advisory vote on executive compensation. A vote to determine the frequency of votes on executive compensation must take place at least once every six years, so our next vote on frequency will be at our 2026 Annual Meeting.
Board Recommendation | ✔ | The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR approval of the following resolution: "RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure."

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

The Compensation Committee is responsible for the design and administration of the Company’s compensation policy and plans. The plans are designed to successfully implement the Company’s business strategy and create stockholder value. As a matter of policy, the Compensation Committee submits its recommendations to the full Board for approval.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Company’s compensation program emphasizes performance-based compensation promoting the achievement of short-term and long-term business objectives. This aligns our executives' compensation with stockholder interests, while providing competitive compensation to attract, motivate and retain executives with superior skills and abilities.

Determination of Compensation Awards

The Compensation Committee recommends to the Board the compensation awards for the Named Executive Officers based on (i) Company performance versus annual budgeted financial targets, and (ii) individual performance.

The Compensation Committee conducts an annual review of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance prior to making its recommendation to the Board regarding the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of our Chief Financial Officer with the Compensation Committee and makes a recommendation to the Compensation Committee regarding the Chief Financial Officer’s compensation. During these reviews, the Compensation Committee considers the Company’s performance in the following categories: (i) improvement in the Company’s market value; (ii) the achievement of agreed upon short and long-term objectives; and (iii) predetermined individual goals.

Compensation Benchmarking

The Company has not retained a compensation consultant to review its policies and procedures with respect to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers, though it may choose to do so in the future. The Compensation Committee benchmarks the compensation of the Named Executive Officers against the median compensation paid by comparable companies determined at the time. To that end, the Compensation Committee will conduct a benchmark review as often as deemed necessary of the aggregate level of compensation of the Named Executive Officers as well as the mix of elements used to compensate the Named Executive Officers, taking into account input from independent members of the Board and publicly available data relating to the compensation practices and policies of comparable companies. While benchmarking may not always be appropriate as a stand-alone tool for setting the compensation of the Named Executive Officers due to the Company’s potentially unique circumstances and objectives, the Compensation Committee generally believes that gathering such information is an important part of the Compensation Committee’s decision-making process.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salary

Base salary levels for the Company’s Named Executive Officers are designed to be competitive with those of employees with similar responsibilities working for companies of comparable size, capitalization and complexity. In determining base salaries, the Compensation Committee takes into account a variety of factors, including experience, performance, and benchmarking.

Incentive Compensation

The Company provides annual and long-term incentive compensation to its executives and managers under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Plan, approved by stockholders on December 28, 2021. The 2021 Incentive Plan is designed to provide annual and long-term incentives for executive performance by rewarding participating executives for their contributions to profitability and stockholder value based on achieving short-term Company and individual performance goals for a given year, as well as by aligning a significant portion of compensation with the long-term interests of stockholders. Short-term Company performance goals include revenue growth, EBITDA, earnings per share and return on equity. Long-term Company performance goals include increasing the Company’s total market value. The Compensation Committee may recommend that other corporate performance measures be substituted or added (including but not limited to operating income after tax, return on capital employed and stockholder return) in order to achieve the Company’s business strategy. Individual performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer are established by the Compensation Committee and recommended to the Board for approval, while individual performance goals for our other employees are established by the Chief Executive Officer and reviewed by the Compensation Committee.

The LGL Group, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan

The LGL Group, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan"), which is subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), permits the Company’s employees to defer a portion of their compensation by making contributions to the 401(k) Plan and thereby obtain certain tax benefits. Participating employees also benefit from the 401(k) Plan by sharing in discretionary contributions made by the Company to the 401(k) Plan based on each employee’s contribution made in a particular year. A participant’s interest in his or her individual contributions, the Company’s contributions and earnings thereon is fully vested at all times. The 401(k) Plan’s proceeds are invested in guaranteed investment contracts or certain mutual funds, subject to the discretion of the participants.

The Named Executive Officers and all other employees of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan after having completed three months of service and reached the age of 18.

17

Table of Contents

Other Benefits

The Company makes available to the Named Executive Officers the same medical insurance, life insurance and disability benefits that are generally made available to the Company’s employees to ensure that the Company’s employees have access to basic healthcare and income protection for themselves and their family members.

Clawback Policy

During 2023, the Compensation Committee approved a new Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation Policy in connection with the SEC's adoption of new rules to implement Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and corresponding NYSE American listing standards. The clawback policy generally requires recoupment of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation (including any compensation granted, earned, or vested wholly or in part) received by current and former executive officers (as defined in Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act), including our non-principal executive officer Named Executive Officers, during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the Company's material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under U.S securities laws.

A full copy of the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation Policy is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. No clawback-related actions pursuant to the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation Policy were required in 2023.

Employment Agreements

None.

AUDIT-RELATED MATTERS

Proposal 3 | Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has sole authority to retain, with stockholder ratification, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee oversees the firm's work with respect to the annual audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and approves all audit engagement fees and terms. The Audit Committee has appointed PKF O'Connor Davies, LLP ("PKF") to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2024 and to render other professional services as required. PKF has served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since 2023. The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that continued retention of PKF as the independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. As such, the Audit Committee is submitting the appointment of PKF to stockholders for ratification. If the appointment is not ratified by our stockholders, the Audit Committee may reconsider whether it should appoint another independent public accounting firm. Representatives of PKF are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to questions. RSM US LLP ("RSM") served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022.
Board Recommendation | ✔ | The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR ratification of the appointment of PKF O'Connor Davies, LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.

(1) | Audit Fees. Audit fees consisted of fees for the audit of LGL Group's financial statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K and reviews of the Company's financial statements in the Company's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

(2) | Audited-Related Fees. Audit-related fees include assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by independent accountants. During 2022, RSM rendered audit-related services totaling $258,850 in connection with the Separation, including the stand-alone audits for 2019 and 2020, quarterly reviews for the first and second quarters of 2021 and 2022, multiple Form 10 filings, and the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A related to obtaining stockholder approval for the Separation.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Audit Committee established policies and procedures under which all audit and non-audit services performed by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee shall pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and shall not engage the independent registered public accounting firm to perform the specific non-audit services proscribed by law or regulation. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee. The decisions of any Audit Committee member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. If any services other than audit services are rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee determines whether such services are compatible with maintaining our independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, all such services performed by, and fees paid to, PKF and RSM were approved in advance.

Change of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

As previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated May 2, 2023, on April 26, 2023, the Audit Committee dismissed RSM as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately in anticipation of the appointment of PKF as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to change the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from RSM to PKF was unanimously approved by the Audit Committee. PKF was appointed as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm effective as of April 26, 2023.

The reports of RSM on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no "disagreements" (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and RSM on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to RSM’s satisfaction, would have caused RSM to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through April 26, 2023, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Corporate Secretary must receive the proposal in writing by June 9, 2025.

Under SEC rules, if we do not receive notice of a stockholder proposal at least 45 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing of the prior year’s Proxy Statement, then the Company’s appointed proxy holders will be permitted to use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the annual meeting, without any discussion of the matter in the proxy statement. In connection with the 2025 Annual Meeting, if we do not have notice of a stockholder proposal on or before August 23, 2025, we will be permitted to use our discretionary voting authority as outlined above.

Stockholder Proposals Introduced at the 2025 Annual Meeting

To introduce a proposal for vote at the 2025 Annual Meeting (other than a stockholder proposal included in the Proxy Statement under SEC Rule 14a-8), LGL Group's By-Laws require that the stockholder's written notice has been delivered, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices (see page 33 for contact information) not later than the close of business on the 90th day, which is September 30, 2024, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, which is August 22, 2025, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. In no event must the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

Director Nominations at the 2025 Annual Meeting

Our By-Laws establish procedures for stockholder nominations for elections of directors at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Any stockholder entitled to vote generally in the election of directors may nominate one or more persons for election as directors only if written notice of such stockholder’s intent has been delivered, either by personal delivery or by United States mail, postage prepaid, to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day, which is September 30, 2024, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, which is August 22, 2025, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. In no event must the public announcement of an adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

The stockholder’s notice must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (including such person’s written consent to being named in the Proxy Statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected) and any additional information reasonably requested by the Board; (b) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on our books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Company that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, (iii) all information relating to such stockholder and such beneficial owner that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act and Rule 11a-11 thereunder, and (iv) any additional information reasonably requested by the Board.

Notwithstanding anything in the previous paragraph, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board is increased and there is no public announcement by us naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board at least 70 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by our By-Laws will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by us.

We may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director. The Board or chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not made in accordance with the foregoing procedure, in which event, the officer will announce that determination to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees in connection with our 2025 Annual Meeting must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than 60 calendar days prior to the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting date. For the 2025 Annual Meeting, that deadline is September 21, 2025.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Q: | Why did I receive this Proxy Statement?

A: | The Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting because you were a stockholder at the close of business on September 30, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting, and are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement provides important information regarding the matters to be acted on at the Annual Meeting and is designed to assist you in voting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares. Instead, you may vote your shares using any of the methods discussed below under the question "How do I vote?"

Q: | What is a proxy?

A: | A proxy is a person who votes the shares of stock of another person. The term "proxy" also refers to the proxy card. When you return the enclosed proxy card, or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet, you are giving your permission to either our chief executive officer or our chief financial officer to vote your shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting as you instruct. The proxies will not vote your shares of common stock if you do not return the enclosed proxy card or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet. This is why it is important for you to return the proxy card to us or authorize your proxy by telephone or over the Internet as soon as possible, whether or not you plan on attending the live webcast of the Annual Meeting.

Q: | Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?

A: | The Company will pay the expense of soliciting proxies, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the notice, proxy statement and proxy. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, the Company’s directors, officers or employees, without additional compensation, may make solicitations personally and by telephone. The Company may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Q: | What information is contained in this Proxy Statement?

A: | The information in this Proxy Statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, the Board and its committees, the compensation of directors and certain executive officers, and certain other required information.

Q: | What is householding?

A: | We have adopted a procedure permitted by SEC rules that is commonly referred to as "householding." Under this procedure, a single Proxy Statement and annual report are delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless we receive contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. We will continue to send a separate proxy card to each stockholder of record. We have adopted this procedure because we believe it reduces the volume of duplicate information stockholders receive and helps to reduce our printing and postage costs. A number of brokers with account holders who are Company stockholders will be "householding" our proxy materials and annual reports as well. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate Proxy Statement and annual report, or if you and other stockholders sharing your address are receiving multiple copies of the proxy materials and you would like to receive only a single copy of such materials in the future, please notify your broker if you hold your Company shares through a broker, or notify us directly if you are a stockholder of record by contacting us at: The LGL Group, Inc. 2525 Shader Road Orlando, Florida 32804 Attention: Corporate Secretary (407) 298-2000 We will send promptly additional copies of the relevant materials following receipt of a request for additional copies.

Q: | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: | You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you may receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive.

Q: | How may I obtain an additional set of proxy materials?

A: | All stockholders may write to us at the following address to request an additional copy of these materials:

| The LGL Group, Inc. 2525 Shader Road Orlando, Florida 32804 Attention: Corporate Secretary

| Additionally, stockholders may access this Proxy Statement, our form of proxy card, and our 2023 Annual Report on our website at www.lglgroup.com/proxy.

Q: | What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

A: | If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the "stockholder of record." If you are a stockholder of record, this Proxy Statement, our 2023 Annual Report and a proxy card have been sent directly to you by the Company. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the "beneficial owner" of shares held in street name. If you own shares held in street name, this Proxy Statement and our 2023 Annual Report have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or the Internet, if the broker, bank or nominee offers these alternatives. Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

Q: | What am I voting on at the Annual Meeting?

A: | You are voting on the following proposals:

| • | To elect seven directors to serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting") and until their successors are duly elected and qualified;
| • | To vote on a non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers;
| • | To ratify the appointment of PKF O'Connor Davies, LLP ("PKF") as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024; and
| • | To transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

| The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the election of each of its nominees for directors; "FOR" the approval of a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers; and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of PKF as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Q: | How do I vote?

A: | You may vote using any of the following methods:

| • | Proxy card or voting instruction card. Be sure to complete, sign and date the card and return it in the prepaid envelope.
| • | By telephone or the Internet. If you own shares held in street name, you will receive voting instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee and may vote by telephone or on the Internet at www.proxyvote.com.
| • | Attending the Annual Meeting. All stockholders of record may vote by attending the Annual Meeting.

| Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted at the Annual Meeting. To participate in the annual meeting, you will need the 16‐digit control number included on your Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted during the Annual Meeting. Shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record also may be voted during the Annual Meeting. However, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Q: | What can I do if I change my mind after I vote my shares?

A: | If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by:

| • | Sending a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;
| • | Submitting a new, proper proxy dated later than the date of the revoked proxy; or
| • | Attending the Annual Meeting and voting.

Q: | What if I return a signed proxy card, but do not indicate a vote for some of the matters listed on the proxy card?

A: | If you return a signed proxy card without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as follows: "FOR" the election of each of its nominees for directors; "FOR" the approval of a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers; and "FOR" the ratification of the appointment of PKF as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

Q: | Can my broker vote my shares for me without my instructions?

A: | Brokers may not use discretionary authority to vote shares on the election of directors or the approval of a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers; however, if they have not received instructions from their clients, they may vote either for or against the ratification of auditors. Please provide voting instructions on these proposals to your broker so your vote can be counted.

Q: | Can my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy card or voting instruction card and do not attend the Annual Meeting?

A: | If you do not vote your shares held of record (registered directly in your name, not in the name of a bank or broker), your shares will not be voted. If you do not vote your shares held in street name with a broker, your broker will not be authorized to vote on most items being put to a vote, including the election of directors and the approval of a non-binding advisory resolution approving the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. If your broker is not able to vote your shares, they will constitute "broker non-votes," which are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, but otherwise do not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Q: | What are the voting requirements with respect to each of the proposals?

A: | In the election of directors, each director receiving a plurality of the affirmative ("FOR") votes cast will be elected. You may withhold votes from any or all nominees. All other proposals require the affirmative ("FOR") votes of a majority of the votes cast on the matter. Thus, abstentions will not affect the outcome of the votes on these proposals. If you own shares held in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute "broker non-votes." Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered entitled to be voted on that proposal. Thus, the "broker non-vote" will have no effect on any matter being voted on at this Annual Meeting, assuming that a quorum is present.

Q: | How many votes do I have?

A: | You are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock that you hold. As of September 30, 2024, the record date, there were 5,373,055 shares of common stock outstanding.

Q: | Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors?

A: | We do not use cumulative voting for the election of directors.

Q: | What happens if a nominee for director does not stand for election?

A: | If for any reason any nominee does not stand for election, any proxies we receive will be voted in favor of the remaining nominees and may be voted for a substitute nominee in place of the nominee who does not stand. We have no reason to expect that any of the nominees will not stand for election.

Q: | What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

A: | Other than the three items of business described in this Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Tim Foufas and Christopher Nossokoff, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Q: | How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

A: | There must be a quorum present in order for the businesses to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote, or 2,686,528 shares, is represented at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by proxy. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described above) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Q: | How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

A: | The Annual Meeting will be held at the Bruce Museum, located at One Museum Drive, Greenwich, CT 06830, on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. ET.

Q: | What is the deadline for voting my shares?

A: | If you hold shares as the stockholder of record, your vote by proxy must be received before the polls close at the Annual Meeting. If you hold shares beneficially in street name, please follow the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. You may vote these shares at the Annual Meeting only if you provide a legal proxy obtained from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q: | Is my vote confidential?

A: | Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either within the Company or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Q: | How are votes counted?

A: | For the election of directors, you may vote "FOR" all or some of the nominees or your vote may be "WITHHELD" with respect to one or more of the nominees. For the other items of business, you may vote "FOR," "AGAINST" or "ABSTAIN". If you elect to "ABSTAIN," the abstention will be counted for the purpose of establishing a quorum, but otherwise will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the matter.

Q: | Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
