PROXY STATEMENT

References to “the Company”, “Servotronics”, “we”, “us”, and “our” in this proxy statement mean Servotronics, Inc.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Why am I receiving these materials?

The Board is providing this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card in connection with its solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to vote on the following proposals:

•

the election of six directors to serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company and until such directors’ successors shall have been elected and qualified;

•

the advisory approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers for 2023;

•

the ratification of the appointment of Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year; and

•

any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

The Board is not aware of any other business to come before the Annual Meeting.

Who is entitled to vote?

You may vote at the Annual Meeting if you were a shareholder of record of Servotronics common stock at the close of business on April 5, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting set by the Board. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote per share of Servotronics common stock on each matter presented for a shareholder vote at the Annual Meeting. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights. As of the close of business on the record date, there were 2,548,673 shares of Servotronics common stock outstanding.

How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A quorum of shareholders is necessary to transact business at the Annual Meeting. A quorum exists if the holders of a majority of votes entitled to be cast on matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting are present at the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy. If a share is represented for any purpose at the Annual Meeting, it will be considered present for purposes of establishing a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be included in determining the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

A “broker non-vote” occurs when you fail to provide your broker, bank or other nominee (referred to herein as a “Broker”) with voting instructions on a particular proposal and the Broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on that particular proposal because the proposal is not a “routine” matter under the applicable rules.

How many votes are needed for approval of each proposal?

Proposal No. 1: A plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required to elect directors. This means that the six director nominees who receive the most votes will be elected to the Board. Any shares not voted “FOR” a particular nominee, whether as a result of a withhold vote or a broker non-vote, will not be counted in such nominee’s favor and will not affect the outcome of the election.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Proposal No. 2: Advisory approval of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers for 2023 requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The vote on this proposal is not binding on the Company, the Board or the Compensation Committee. However, the Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders and will take the results of the vote into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.

Proposal No. 3: Ratification of the appointment of Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year requires the approval of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote thereon. Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will not affect the outcome of the vote on this proposal. Under applicable rules, Brokers may vote on the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm in their discretion, and, therefore, we do not expect any broker non-votes on this matter.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held for you by a Broker, you must provide your Broker with instructions as to how to vote such shares in order for your shares to be voted.

How does the Board of Directors recommend I vote on these proposals?

The Board recommends voting:

•

“FOR” each of the six nominees for director;

•

“FOR” the advisory approval of our executive compensation;

•

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year.

Independent Directors

Under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American, at least fifty percent of our Directors, and, except in limited circumstances, all of the members of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, must meet the test of “independence” as defined by the NYSE American. The NYSE American standards provide that to qualify as an “independent” director, in addition to satisfying certain bright-line criteria, the Board of Directors must affirmatively determine that a director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board of Directors has determined that each director nominee, other than Mr. Farrell, satisfies the bright-line criteria and that no other director or nominee has a relationship with the Company that would interfere with such person’s ability to exercise independent judgment as a member of our Board.

In making its determination with respect to Mr. Cosgrove, the Board considered the fact that the Company incurred legal fees and disbursements of approximately $8,400 for services provided by the Cosgrove Law Firm in 2023.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors currently separates the roles of Chair of the Board of Directors and CEO. Each year, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses these roles and the board leadership structure to ensure the interests of the Company and its shareholders are best served.

Currently, the independent Chair position is held by Christopher M. Marks and our CEO is William F. Farrell, Jr.

A number of factors support the leadership structure chosen by the Board, including, among others:

•

The Board believes this governance structure promotes balance between the Board’s independent authority to oversee our business and the CEO and his management team who manage the business on a day-to-day basis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

The current separation of the Chairman and CEO roles allows the CEO to focus his time and energy on operating and managing the Company and leverage the experience and perspectives of the Chair of the Board.

•

The Chair of the Board sets the agenda for, and presides over, board meetings and independent sessions and coordinates the work of the committees of our Board, providing independent oversight and streamlining the CEO’s duties.

•

The Chair of the Board serves as a liaison between the Board and senior management but having an independent chairperson also enables non-management Directors to raise issues and concerns for Board consideration without immediately involving management.

Another component of our leadership structure is the active role played by our independent directors in overseeing the Company’s business, both at Board and Committee levels. Five of the six director nominees are considered independent under the corporate governance standards of the NYSE American. All of our Directors are encouraged to suggest the inclusion of items on the agenda for meetings of our Board of Directors or raise subjects that are not on the agenda for that meeting. In addition, our Board of Directors and each committee have complete and open access to any member of management and the authority to retain independent legal, financial and other advisors as they deem appropriate without consulting or obtaining the approval of any member of management. Our Board of Directors also holds regularly scheduled executive sessions of only independent Directors in order to promote discussion among the independent directors and assure independent oversight of management. Moreover, our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, all of which are comprised entirely of independent Directors, also perform oversight functions independent of management.

The Company believes its leadership structure is the most effective leadership structure for the Board of Directors at this time. However, the Board of Directors recognizes that no single leadership model is appropriate for a board at all times. Periodically, our Board of Directors assesses these roles and the board leadership structure to ensure the interests of the Company and its shareholders are best served.

Shareholder Communication with the Board

Shareholders who wish to contact the Board of Directors or any of its members may do so in writing to Servotronics, Inc., 1110 Maple Street, P.O. Box 300, Elma, New York 14059. Correspondence directed to an individual board member will be referred to that member. Correspondence not directed to a particular board member will be referred to the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Committees and Meeting Data

The Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each member of each of these committees is “independent” as that term is defined in the NYSE American listing standards. The Board has adopted a written charter for each of these committees, which is available on our website at www.servotronics.com.

The Audit Committee consists of Ms. Howard (Chair) and Messrs. Baird, Marks and Wax with Ms. Howard being designated as the Company’s “Audit Committee financial expert”. The Audit Committee meets with the Company’s Independent Auditors and reviews with them matters relating to corporate financial reporting and accounting procedures and policies, the adequacy of financial, accounting and operating controls, the scope of the audit and the results of the audit. The Audit Committee is also charged with the responsibility of submitting to the Board of Directors any recommendations it may have from time to time with respect to financial reporting and accounting practices, policies and financial accounting and operation controls and safeguards.

The Compensation Committee consists of Ms. Howard and Messrs. Baird (Chair), Cosgrove, Marks and Wax. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending appropriate executive compensation policy and determining the compensation of the Company’s Directors and Executive Officers.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Ms. Howard and Messrs. Baird, Cosgrove, Marks and Wax (Chair). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for (a) developing and implementing policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that the Board will be appropriately constituted and organized to meet its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its shareholders; and (b) identifying individuals qualified to become members of the Board, and to select, or to recommend that the Board select, the director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders.

The full Board of Directors approves/ratifies all Director nominees after they are determined by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. See “Director Nominating Process” below. Additionally, Director and Executive Officer compensation determinations are subsequently submitted to the full Board of Directors for approval/ratification.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Board of Directors held 18 meetings. The Audit Committee met seven times, the Compensation Committee met three times and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met five times. No Director attended less than 95% of the meetings held during the period that each individual served as a Director. Each Director is encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. In 2023, the Annual Meeting of Shareholders was attended by all Directors standing for reelection at that meeting.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

The Board of Directors believes that the control and management of risk are primarily responsibilities of senior management of the Company. The entire Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of this senior management function. This oversight is primarily accomplished through the Board’s committees and management’s reporting processes. The Company does not have a formal risk committee; however, the Audit Committee focuses on risk related to accounting, internal controls and financial and tax reporting. The Audit Committee also assesses economic and business risks and monitors compliance with ethical standards. The Compensation Committee identifies and oversees risks associated with the Company’s executive compensation policies and practices and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews Director independence, related party transactions and the implementation of corporate governance policies.

Nominating Procedures

The determination of the individuals to be nominated for the Board of Directors is made by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. This determination is then subsequently submitted to the full Board of Directors for approval/ratification.

The Board has not adopted specific minimum criteria for director nominees. Nominees are identified by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service, the Board first considers the appropriateness of the size of the Board and then considers factors that it deems are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders in identifying and evaluating a new nominee. Consistent with the concept of diversity, the Company recognizes the value of having a Board that encompasses a broad range of skills, expertise, contacts, industry knowledge and diversity of opinion.

The Board will consider director nominees from any reasonable source, including nominees suggested by incumbent Board Members and Management as well as Shareholder recommendations tendered in accordance with the Company’s advance notice provisions. The Company does not currently employ an executive search firm, or pay a fee to any other third party, to locate qualified candidates for director positions.

Director Compensation in 2023

The Company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy provides that non-employee directors are paid an annual cash retainer of $60,000, payable in twelve monthly installments, plus reimbursement of actual expenses for attendance at Board or Committee meetings. Non-employee directors also receive an annual award of restricted stock under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The annual award

consists of shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of $25,000 as of the date of the grant. These restricted shares will vest quarterly over the 12-month service period.

The following table shows the compensation paid by the Company to each non-employee director for 2023.

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON

Proposal 1 — Election of Directors

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for a Board consisting of not less than three and not more than nine persons, as such number is determined by the Board of Directors, all of whom will be elected annually to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors are elected and qualified, or until the Director resigns or is otherwise removed.

The Board currently has six members: Brent D. Baird, Edward C. Cosgrove, William F. Farrell, Jr., Karen L. Howard, Christopher M. Marks and Evan H. Wax, all of which were elected at the 2023 annual meeting. All six positions on the Board are to be filled by vote of the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Unless instructed otherwise, it is intended that the shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be voted in favor of the six nominees named above, each of whom was nominated by the Board based on the recommendation of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All nominees have agreed to serve if elected.

If any nominee becomes unable to serve or is otherwise unavailable for election, which we do not anticipate, the Board may select a substitute nominee. Information regarding the director nominees can be found under “Corporate Governance and Board Matters — Director Qualifications and Biographical Information.”

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ALL SIX OF THE BOARD’S NOMINEES TO BE ELECTED AS DIRECORS.

Proposal 2 — Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Shareholders are being asked to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with SEC rules. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives you, as a shareholder, the opportunity to express your views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation.

You may vote for or against the following resolution, or you may abstain. Your vote is not intended to address any specific item of our compensation program, but rather to address our overall approach to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers described in this proxy statement.

Our Board of Directors is asking shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This vote on the Named Executive Officer compensation is advisory, and therefore will not be binding on the Company and will not affect any existing compensation or award programs. However, we value the opinions expressed by our shareholders and the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee expect to consider the outcome of the vote, along with other relevant factors, when considering future compensation programs.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Proposal 3 — Advisory Vote on the Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. has served as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company since 2005.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our Board believes the most effective compensation program is one that promotes the Company’s ability to attract and retain highly qualified and motivated individuals whose interests are aligned with those of our shareholders. The Board, acting through its Compensation Committee (in this Executive Compensation section of the proxy statement, the “Committee”) seeks to develop a well-balanced compensation program that not only contains a competitive fixed pay element through annual base salary but also at-risk incentive compensation directly related to corporate performance through the use of a short-term cash incentive as well as long-term equity-based compensation. The Board seeks to foster a culture where the executive officers may increase their compensation by contributing to measurable financial performance metrics that create value for the Company’s shareholders. Each element of the executive officer compensation program is discussed in more detail below.

To further these objectives, the Board adheres to the following compensation and corporate governance practices:

	What We Do:
				We pay for performance. A significant portion of executive pay is not guaranteed, but rather tied to key financial metrics that measure our performance and are disclosed to our shareholders.
				We balance short-term and long-term incentives. Our incentive programs provide an appropriate balance of annual and long-term incentives.
				We limit the maximum payout opportunity. We establish maximum amounts that may be earned under any award of performance-based compensation for our executives.
				We maintain robust stock ownership guidelines. Our executive officers and directors are subject to robust stock ownership guidelines.
				We recoup compensation under certain circumstances. We have adopted a policy, in accordance with applicable SEC rules and amendments to the NYSE American listing standards, that requires the reimbursement of cash and equity incentive compensation under certain circumstances.
				We have an independent compensation committee. The Committee is comprised solely of independent directors.

	What We Don’t Do:
				No employment agreements, automatic salary increases or guaranteed bonuses: We do not have employment agreements with any of our executive officers, and we do not guarantee annual salary increases or bonuses.
				We do not allow hedging or pledging. We have adopted a policy pursuant to which our executive officers and directors are expressly prohibited from pledging and hedging Company securities.
				We do not provide excessive perquisites: Our executive officers are provided with limited perquisites and benefits.
				We do not have tax gross-ups and do not have “single-trigger” provisions: We do not provide tax gross-ups on any severance, change in control or other payments. Change in control agreements require a “double-trigger”.
				We do not provide pension arrangements or non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements: We do not provide a defined benefit pension program, supplemental executive retirement plan or other non-qualified deferred compensation program for any employees.

Consideration of Recent “Say-on-Pay” Advisory Vote

At the annual meeting of shareholders on June 9, 2023, 78.7% of the shares voted were voted in support of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as discussed and disclosed in the 2023 proxy statement. The Committee continues to review the Company’s compensation strategy to ensure that it provides appropriate compensation to our executive officers and to further align the interests of management and shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How We Make Compensation Decisions.

The Committee, which is comprised of independent directors, is charged with oversight of the Company’s philosophy, policies and practices regarding annual and incentive compensation plans, equity-based plans and other compensation plans. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is made publicly available on our website at www.servotronics.com. The Committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation of the Company’s executive officers is fair, reasonable and competitive. The Committee annually evaluates the performance of the Company’s executive officers based upon a mix of the achievement of corporate goals and individual performance. The Committee determines, sets and approves, pursuant to the Committee’s sole authority, the individual elements of the Company’s executive officers’ total compensation, including perquisites, based on such reviews and evaluations. The Committee also makes equity awards under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and reviews the attainment of annual goals for incentive compensation.

The Committee may request that any directors, officers or employees of the Company, or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Committee, attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee to provide such pertinent information as the Committee requests. The Committee meets with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer to obtain his recommendations with respect to other executive officers and key management compensation programs and practices, base salaries, incentive plan targets and equity awards. The Committee considers but is not bound to accept such recommendations. The Chief Executive Officer may not be present during any deliberations or voting to determine his compensation.

At-Risk Compensation Mix.

The Committee believes that linking a significant portion of the executive officers’ total compensation to at-risk pay rewards the achievement of key short- and long-term performance goals and strongly aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of our shareholders. The Committee anticipates that a larger portion of the Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation will be linked to at-risk pay as compared to the other executive officers, in recognition of the Chief Executive Officer’s overall responsibility for the Company’s corporate performance.

The graphic below illustrates the mix of 2023 fixed pay (base salary) and at-risk pay incentives (cash incentive compensation and equity awards), presented at target levels, for the Chief Executive Officer and the average of the other Named Executive Officers.

	Target Compensation Mix: Chief Executive Officer			Target Compensation Mix: Other Named Officers

Base Salary

The Committee seeks to provide the executive officers with a level of assured cash compensation in the form of base salaries that are commensurate with their professional status and responsibilities. The base salaries are reviewed annually by the Committee and are adjusted from time to time to recognize competitive market data based on the officer’s level of responsibility, outstanding individual performance, promotions and internal equity considerations. The Committee does not currently use a peer group to benchmark base salaries, rather the Committee reviews third-party surveys and other market data to assist in determining appropriate base salaries for the executive officers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Annual Incentive Plan (AIP) Compensation.

The Committee seeks to provide the executive officers an opportunity to earn annual incentive awards, paid in cash, designed to reward annual corporate performance and individual performance. Each year the Committee will establish a target annual incentive award opportunity for each executive officer following a review of their individual scope of responsibilities, experience, qualifications, individual performance and contributions to the Company.

AIP Target Opportunities

The Committee sets the target annual cash incentive equal to a percentage of annual base salary. If the target goal for a corporate performance metric is achieved, then the corporate performance metric will be deemed to be earned at 100%. If the threshold or maximum goal for a performance metric is achieved, then the corporate performance metric will be deemed to be earned at 50% or 200%, respectively. Results below threshold result in a zero payout and achievement at levels between threshold and maximum are determined via linear interpolation. No more than 200% of the target award may be earned under the AIP.

			2023 Target Annual Cash Incentive
Title	Base Salary ( $)		Percentage of Base Salary (%)		($)
Chief Executive Officer		350,000		40		140,000
Chief Financial Officer(1)		265,000		30		79,500
Chief Technical Officer		235,000		20		47,000

(1)

For Mr. Fraass, the 2023 AIP award was prorated based on his May 1, 2023, date of hire.

AIP Metrics

For 2023, the Committee used year-end inventory, operating income and annual revenues for our Advanced Technology Group as the Company performance metrics, with the target goal for each corporate performance metric based on the Board-approved budget. Additionally, each executive officer was assigned individual goals related to his scope of responsibility and aligned with the Company’s overall strategic priorities.

2023 AIP Payouts

At the end of the performance period, the Committee analyzed the foregoing criteria and determined actual performance for the Company performance goals and the individual performance goals. The actual 2023 AIP payouts are reported in the Summary Compensation Table in the Company’s proxy statement as “non-equity incentive plan compensation.”

Long Term Compensation.

The Committee seeks to provide the executive officers an opportunity to earn long-term equity incentive awards intended to provide incentives for the creation of value and the corresponding growth of the Company’s stock price over time. The Committee believes that the long-term equity incentive awards should provide an appropriate balance between performance incentive and retention awards since the recipient must remain employed by the Company for an additional period following the performance period in order for the restricted shares to vest.

LTIP Target Opportunities

The Committee sets the target for the three-year LTIP award equal to a percentage of base salary. For each three-year LTIP award, 75% of the target award will be performance-based and 25% of the target award will be service-based. If the target goal for a performance metric is achieved, then the performance metric will be deemed to be earned at 100%. If the threshold or maximum goal for a performance metric is achieved, then the performance metric will be deemed to be earned at 50% or 200%, respectively. Results below

LTIP Performance Metric

The performance metric for the long-term equity incentive awards is based on the Company’s return on invested capital (ROIC) over a three-year period. ROIC is a calculation used to determine how well the company allocates its capital to profitable projects or investments. The calculation of three-year average ROIC is as follows:

3-year average ROIC = 3-year average NOPAT / Beginning Period Invested Capital

where:

NOPAT = Net operating profit from continuing operations after tax

Beginning Period Invested Capital = Total Assets from continuing operations — current liabilities from continuing operations + any current portion of long-term debt relating to the Company’s line of credit, each as at December 31 of the year immediately prior to the performance period (i.e., December 31, 2022 for the 2023-2025 performance period).

LTIP Form of Award and Vesting

The performance-based LTIP awards are in the form of Performance Shares under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and earned Performance Shares will vest 75% on the date the Committee certifies the achievement of the Performance Goal and, to the extent the Performance Goal is met, the remainder on January 1 of the following year, subject to the executive officer’s continued service with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The service-based portion of the LTIP award will be in the form of Restricted Stock under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and will vest one-third per year over three years.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

The Company provides Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other benefits that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program. The Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other benefits provided to executive officers.

The Company generally provides employees with medical, life and disability insurance benefits. All employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan to which employees are able to contribute the lesser of up to 92% of their annual salary or the limit prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company generally matches 75% of the first 4% of eligible compensation that is contributed to the Plan. All employee deferral contributions are fully vested upon contribution. All employees are also participants in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Compensation Policies and Procedures

Stock Ownership Guidelines

In order to enhance the alignment of the interests of the directors and management with shareholders, the Board developed stock ownership guidelines that will require ownership of Company stock by directors

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and executive officers who have served in their role as a director or executive officer for a minimum of five years. Directors will be required to own Company stock with a market value (number of shares multiplied by the current price of common stock) of at least 2 times the annual cash retainer for directors. Executive officers will be required to own Company stock with a market value of at least: (i) 3 times annual base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and (ii) 2 times annual base salary for other executive officers. Director and executive officer stock ownership is reviewed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on at least an annual basis. For purposes of these guidelines, any Restricted Stock and Performance Shares awarded to an individual will be considered to be “owned” at the target level while such awards remain subject to forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable award agreement(s).

Hedging and Pledging Policy

The Board has adopted a policy that will prohibit Company directors, officers and certain designated employees from (i) engaging in any hedging or monetization transactions involving Company securities or from purchasing or selling any put or call option contract or similar instrument with respect to Company securities and (ii) pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan or holding such shares in a margin account.

Recoupment (Clawback) Policy

The Board has adopted a policy, in accordance with recent SEC rules and anticipated amendments to the NYSE American listing standards, that requires the reimbursement of cash and equity incentive compensation under certain circumstances.

Change in Control Arrangements

In order to recruit executives and encourage retention of employees, the Board believes it is appropriate and necessary to protect them in the event of a change in control. It is the Board’s belief that the interests of shareholders will be best served if the interests of our senior management are aligned with them, and providing change in control benefits should eliminate, or at least reduce, the reluctance of senior management to pursue potential change in control transactions that may result in their job loss, but which may be in the best interests of shareholders. Any change in control benefits will be made pursuant to the Executive Change in Control Severance Plan that was adopted by the Committee on April 19, 2022.

Pay Versus Performance Disclosure

As required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and our financial performance for each of the last two completed fiscal years. In determining the “compensation actually paid” to our named executive officers (our “NEOs”), we are required to make various adjustments to amounts that have been previously reported in the Summary Compensation Table in each such previous year, as the valuation methods for this disclosure under Item 402(v) differ from those required in reporting the compensation information in the Summary Compensation Table. For our NEOs other than our principal executive officer (our “PEO”), compensation is reported as an average.

Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the Compensation Actually Paid columns was determined by reference to (a) for restricted share awards (excluding performance share awards), closing price on applicable year-end date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price, and (b) for performance share awards that are not market based, the same valuation methodology as restricted share awards above except year-end values are multiplied times the probability of achievement as of each such date. For the portion of Compensation Actually Paid that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices were used: $12.50, $10.56 and $12.68 for year-end 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For 2023, Compensation Actually Paid reflects the following adjustments from total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table:

Our Non-PEO NEOs for 2023 were Robert A. Fraass, James C. Takacs and Lisa F. Bencel. Our Non-PEO NEO for 2022 and 2021 was Lisa F. Bencel. James C. Takacs was also a Non-PEO NEO for a part of each year, however his compensation is excluded from this calculation since his compensation for each full fiscal year is reported in the PEO columns for 2022 and 2021.

TSR is cumulative (i.e., 1 year for 2021, 2 years for 2022 and 3 years for 2023) and depicted as a dollar value assuming $100 was invested as of December 31, 2020.

Compensation Actually Paid to Total Shareholder Return and Net Income. Compensation, per the “compensation actually paid” calculation, our total shareholder return and our net income each decreased from 2021 through 2023. Net income in 2021 included the impact of the forgiveness of the Company’s Paycheck Protection Plan loan, employee retention credit and the New York State Shared Work Program, which increased pre-tax income by approximately $9.4 million. Those COVID-related governmental assistance programs did not recur in 2022. In 2023 we decided to sell certain assets and wind down the operations of our wholly-owned subsidiary, The Ontario Knife Company (“OKC”). In summary, the discontinued operation, net of tax, resulted in a loss of approximately $7.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 driven by operating losses, the loss on sale of assets, divestiture costs, and non-cash asset impairment charges for OKC. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information.

The Compensation Committee has implemented a new incentive-based compensation structure beginning in 2022 upon the hiring of Mr. Farrell as our CEO and continuing into 2023 for all executive officers as outlined above. We believe the Compensation Actually Paid in 2023 is reflective of the Compensation Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the Compensation Actually Paid fluctuated year over year, primarily due to our levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our annual and long-term incentive plans. For 2021, the majority of compensation actually paid to our executive officers reflects base salary and benefits with bonuses paid to Ms. Bencel and Mr. Takacs to account for the additional responsibilities they assumed that year.
