SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT FOR
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD DECEMBER 4, 2014
November 19, 2014
These Definitive Additional Materials amend and supplement the definitive proxy statement dated October 31, 2014 (the “2014 Proxy Statement”) of RCM Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RCM” or the “Company”), for its 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”) to be held at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, 1701 Market Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103 on Thursday, December 4, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. local time.
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT
This supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the 2014 Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety.
RCM’s leadership takes its fiduciary responsibility seriously and is committed to the implementation of best practices in corporate governance and compensation. Accordingly, in an ongoing effort to better align its leadership, corporate governance structure and compensation methodologies with the interests and perspectives of its stockholders, during the last 12 months members of RCM’s Board of Directors and management team have spoken with stockholders representing a majority of RCM’s ownership.
Mindful of the input of these stockholders and building on the comprehensive corporate governance reforms adopted in 2013, and in acknowledgement of the results of the “say on pay” vote at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board has undertaken a series of efforts with respect to compensation reform, including structuring the following policies:
·
|
Limiting executive severance cash pay-outs to no more than 24 months base salary and bonus;
|
·
|
Prohibiting tax gross-ups in all future employment agreements; and
|
·
|
Requiring future employment agreements to contain a “double trigger” with respect to executive change-in-control payments.
|
Further, the Compensation Committee has committed to adopting, prior to the 2014 Annual Meeting, an incentive payment claw back policy for named executive officers.
Consistent with these reforms, when our former Chief Executive Officer retired effective February 28, 2014, he agreed to limit payment under his Separation Agreement to less than half of what his employment agreement would otherwise have stipulated. In its proxy statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company will include further detail with respect to compensation reforms to be made to the compensation structures of our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We may from time to time make written or oral statements in this letter, the proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) communications to stockholders and press releases which constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements are based upon management’s current expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events and conditions and may discuss, among other things, anticipated future performance, share repurchases, expected growth, future business plans and costs. Any statement that is not historical in nature is a forward-looking statement and may be identified by the use of words and phrases such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “will,” “will likely result,” “will continue,” “plans to” and similar expressions.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are necessarily subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the company, which could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements and from the company’s historical results and experience. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risks detailed in RCM’s filings with the Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Readers are cautioned that it is not possible to predict or identify all of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect future results and that the risks described herein should not be considered to be a complete list.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
