<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">On
February 16, 2017, the Board of Directors (the &#x201C;Board&#x201D;)
of Insignia Systems Inc. (the &#x201C;Company&#x201D;) received a
letter from Nicholas J. Swenson pursuant to which he resigned from
the Board, effective as of the end of the day on February 17, 2017.
In his resignation letter, Mr. Swenson expressed concerns about the
Board. A copy of Mr. Swenson&#x2019;s correspondence is attached as
Exhibit 17.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and the description
of the correspondence contained herein is qualified by the full
text of the correspondence. The Company and the Board disagree with
several of the statements made by Mr. Swenson in the resignation
letter.<br></font></div>
<div style="text-align: left; padding-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px;">As
previously disclosed, on March 13, 2016 six members of the Board
delivered a letter to Mr. Swenson, stating their personal view as
directors of the Company that it would be in the best interest of
the Company and its shareholders for Mr. Swenson to resign as a
director of the Company.</font></div>
<div style="text-align: left; padding-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; text-indent: 0px">
<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px;">As
disclosed in the Company's current report on Form 8-K dated August
10, 2016, during the period following the delivery of the March 13,
2016 letter, Mr. Swenson's conduct toward each and every other
member of the Board, both in the boardroom and elsewhere, remained
consistently destructive and Mr. Swenson's interactions with
Company management, employees and other members of the Board
carried a high potential for interfering with management's conduct
of its duties and regularly disrupting the established processes
and deliberations of the Board and its committees. On August 10,
2016, the Board passed a resolution stating its determination that
is it in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders for
Mr. Swenson to submit his resignation as a director of the Company,
effective immedately. In connection with that action, five of the
six members of the Board delivered a letter to Mr. Swenson, the
text of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the August 10, 2016
current report on Form 8-K.<br></font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px;">The
Board has accepted Mr. Swenson's resignation and is unanimous in
its view that Mr. Swenson's resignation from the Board is in the
best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.<br></font></div>

grateful shareholders elected me to the Insignia Systems, Inc.
Board of Directors. Their faith in my role as a Director is very
much appreciated. Shareholders awarded me the largest number of
votes at this past year&#x2019;s annual meeting. I appreciate their
confidence in me and have taken my duties seriously. Over the
years, I have quietly (and loudly) acted in instrumental ways to
drive our company forward. As a member of the board prior to the
departure of certain independent directors referenced below, I and
the other independent directors were instrumental in ensuring that
the company either took the following actions or began a process to
effect the following actions:</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Most of
these value-creating steps were made possible by independent
directors who worked diligently for all shareholders. Sadly, many
of these wise and effective directors have left the Insignia Board.
To replace a highly qualified and independent director is never an
easy task, and to fill multiple vacancies is even more difficult.
Sadly, in my opinion, these vacancies have not been filled by
Directors with deep industry experience and selfless motivation.
and in my mind this constitutes a step backwards for the interests
of all shareholders.</font></div>

<font style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 13px">Shareholders may be
experiencing anxiety about the structure of the current Board of
Directors. In my opinion, such concerns are valid. I too am
concerned about the path that Insignia&#x2019;s Board is currently
taking.</font></div>

not lost but time is short. So, I will continue to work diligently
to represent the best interests of the company and all its
shareholders and employees. At this time, however, because I cannot
in good conscience continue to serve on a Board of Directors that I
do not believe has a sufficient number of well qualified
independent directors, I hereby resign from my position as a
director of Insignia Systems, Inc., effective as of the end of the
day on February&#xA0;17, 2017.</font></div>
