Clawback Agreements: Beginning in late 2008, we implemented a practice whereby executives hired or promoted into corporate officer positions are required to enter into clawback agreements that permit the Company to recoup or “clawback” certain annual incentive compensation and performance based vesting equity awards paid to those officers in situations where the awards earned by these NEOs are based on the achievement of certain financial performance targets that are later restated and would therefore result in lower awards paid. The Company has entered into agreements with all NEOs, and select other key employees. In addition, all of the Company's equity award agreements provide that awards may be forfeited if an employee engages in activity that is detrimental to the Company, including performing services for a competitor, disclosing confidential information, or otherwise violating the Company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. With respect to the NEOs, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to make certain exceptions to the clawback requirements and ultimately determine whether any adjustment will be made.

•	Hedging: The Company prohibits hedging transactions involving the Company's securities for certain members of Company leadership, including all directors and executive officers (which includes our NEOs).

•

Pledging and Margin Accounts: In 2013, the Corporate Governance Committee adopted a new policy that prohibits certain members of Company leadership, including all directors and executive officers, from pledging or margin call arrangements involving the Company's securities that are held to meet the Company's stock ownership requirements. The new policy also places other restrictions on any other pledging or margin call arrangements involving Company securities by such individuals. In addition, the ability of these individuals to engage in such transactions requires pre-approval from the Corporate Governance Committee, and an annual certification to the Corporate Governance Committee that the individual is in compliance with the policy. None of our NEOs have pledged Company securities or have Company securities subject to a margin call arrangement.

---

•	The stock options and RSU components of our long-term incentive award program vest ratably over three or more years. Our Relative Measure PSAs vest based on performance at the end of the three-year performance period.

•	Performance targets are tied to several financial metrics, such as basic EPS, Revenue and Operating Margin, that are quantitative and measurable.

•	The performance periods and vesting schedules for long-term incentives overlap and, therefore, reduce the motivation to maximize performance in any one period.

•	Our stock ownership requirements require our NEOs to own equity representing a significant multiple of their base salary, and to retain this equity throughout their tenures.

•	All NEOs have entered into clawback agreements that allow us to recoup incentive compensation in situations where the awards earned by NEOs are based on the achievement of certain financial performance targets that are later restated and would therefore result in lower awards paid.

•

Payouts under our annual and long-term incentive programs are subject to a cap. Specifically, under our current practices for NEOs, our annual cash incentive award payments are capped (at not greater than 2.25 times base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and less for other NEOs). Performance based payouts under the relative measure program are capped at 2.5 times the target level Relative Measure PSA grant.

2	If age and service vesting requirements are not met under the MSSORP, the RBEP benefits apply.

1	In connection with her rehire on June 19, 2012, Ms. Toussaint received a cash signing bonus in the amount of $100,000. Because this amount was fully reimbursable if Ms. Toussaint voluntarily terminated employment with the Company within twelve months of the signing bonus payment date, it is considered earned in 2013.

Stock Awards represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and Relative Measure PSAs granted to NEOs under the Stock and Incentive Award Plan. Relative Measure PSA awards vest upon satisfying established performance and market goals. In addition to the RSU value, the value disclosed in this column for the Relative Measure PSA awards for Messrs. Dempsey, Stephens, Barnhart and Milzcik and Mses. Toussaint and Edwards represents the amount of compensation if target goals are met. The maximum grant date fair value of the Relative Measure PSA awards granted in 2013 was $1,942,218 for Mr. Dempsey, $744,660 for Mr. Stephens, $420,201 for Ms. Toussaint and $351,054 for Ms. Edwards, $116,752 for Mr. Barnhart and $12,060,819 for Mr. Milzcik. All three measures of the Relative Measure PSA awards allow an NEO to receive up to 250% of the target amount, however, only the basic EPS growth and operating income before depreciation and amortization growth measures would increase the compensation awarded under ASC 718 if the award paid out at maximum. The fair value of the performance based portion of the awards was determined based on the market value of Common Stock on the date of grant and the fair value of the market based portion of awards was determined based on a Monte Carlo valuation method; as described in the note on Stock-Based Compensation in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the respective year-end. Also included in this column for Mr. Milzcik is the incremental increase of $7,828,799 in fair value of current and prior year grants resulting from a change in service condition that was treated as a modification under ASC 718.

3

Option Awards represent the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted to NEOs under the Stock and Incentive Award Plan. The fair value was determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model applied consistently with the Company's practice, as described in the note on Stock-Based Compensation in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the respective year-end. Also included in this column for Mr. Milzcik is the incremental increase of $4,889,096 in fair value of current and prior year grants resulting from a change in service condition that was treated as a modification under ASC 718.

4	Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation includes amounts earned under the PLBP for Messrs. Dempsey, Stephens, Milzcik and Mses. Toussaint (in 2011 and 2013) and Edwards, and the amount earned under the MICP for Ms. Toussaint in 2012. Mr. Barnhart was a participant in the MICP in 2013 and did not receive non-equity incentive plan compensation.

5

The amount listed in Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings represents the annual increase in pension value for all of the Company's defined benefit retirement programs. All assumptions are as detailed in the notes to the Company's consolidated financial statements filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the respective year-end, with the exception of the following: retirement age for all plans is assumed to be the older of the unreduced retirement age, as defined by each plan, or age as of December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011, as applicable, and no pre-retirement mortality, disability, or termination is assumed. The U.S. discount rates of 5.20%, 4.25% and 5.05%, respectively, are detailed in the Management's Discussion & Analysis filed with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the respective year-end. Since the net change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred

6	The Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings is segregated by plan in the following table:

---

a	The amounts listed for Mr. Stephens and Ms. Edwards assumes that they will vest under the Barnes Group 2009 Deferred Compensation Plan and therefore would not be eligible to receive benefits under the RBEP. The amounts listed for Messrs. Dempsey and Milzcik assumes that they would vest under the MSSORP and therefore would not be eligible to receive benefits under the RBEP.

b

The net reduction in value for the SERP plan benefits in 2011 is a result of changes in qualified plan provisions that updated adjustment factors used to determine optional forms of payment. The optional form factors used now provide a lesser reduction. The overall value to the participant remains unchanged should the participant elect the 50% joint and survivor optional form of payment. The decrease in SERP is directly offset by the increase in the Qualified Plan. The net reduction in value for the SERP plan benefits in 2012 is a result of the elimination of plan eligibility for all participants not age 55 with 10 years of service as of April 1, 2012.

c	The amount listed for Mr. Milzcik in 2013 reflects his retirement before he reached the eligible age for benefits under the MSSORP and instead will receive benefits under the RBEP.

7	The compensation represented by the amounts for 2013 set forth in the All Other Compensation column for the NEOs is detailed in the following table:

---

a	This column represents the reimbursement of taxes paid on eligible compensation included in the All Other Compensation table for the NEOs in accordance with the Company's policies and practices.

b	The value of the personal usage of the Company-leased aircraft is based on the aggregate incremental cost to the Company which is based on actual payments made by the Company for the use of the aircraft for Mr. Milzcik.

c

Payments made under the SEELIP for Messrs. Dempsey, Stephens, Milzcik and Ms. Edwards. Under the SEELIP, the Company pays the premiums for the individual life insurance policies that are owned by the participants, with the life insurance coverage equal to four times base salary, and the Company pays the participating NEO's income tax liability arising from its payment of the premiums and taxes, therefore, incurring no out-of-pocket expense for the policies. The Company generally ceases to pay policy premiums on termination of employment, unless the NEO has attained age 62 and 10 years of service, in which case the Company continues to pay premiums and tax gross-ups in retirement.

d

Payments made under the EGTLIP for Ms. Toussaint. The SEELIP was closed to new or rehired executives effective April 1, 2011, and the Company established the EGTLIP for new NEOs and other eligible executives. Under the EGTLIP, the Company pays the premiums for individual life insurance policies that are owned by the participants, with the life insurance coverage equal to four times base salary. The employee owns the policy and is responsible for any tax liability (no tax gross-up) resulting from this program. The Company ceases to pay policy premiums on termination of employment.

e

Payments made under the ELIP for Mr. Barnhart. Under the ELIP, the Company pays the premiums for individual life insurance policies that are owned by the participants, with the life insurance coverage equal to four times base salary. The employee owns the policy and is responsible for any tax liability (no tax gross-up) resulting from this program. The Company ceases to pay policy premiums on termination of employment.

f	The amount listed as deferred compensation for Mr. Stephens and Ms. Edwards includes employer contributions to the Barnes Group 2009 Deferred Compensation Plan.

g

Consists of matching contributions made by the Company under the Barnes Group Inc. Retirement Savings Plan which is a plan generally available to most U.S. based employees, including the NEOs. Contributions made by the Company under its health savings account plan which is also a plan generally available to most U.S. based employees, including the NEOs, are not included; the maximum allowable Company contributions under this plan were $1,000 in 2013.

h

Included in All Other Perquisites are payments made for financial planning and tax preparation services for Messrs. Dempsey, Stephens, Barnhart and Milzcik and Mses. Toussaint and Edwards; executive physical examinations for Mr. Dempsey; spousal travel to a Company event for Messrs.

1

Value of equity awards vesting upon a change in control, death or disability are equal to the grant's intrinsic value as of December 31, 2013 based on the closing market price of $38.31. Equity awards and non-equity incentive plan compensation that were fully vested by their terms as of December 31, 2013 are not included in the numbers shown above. For information on any outstanding fully-vested awards, see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End” table.

2	The value of these benefits is based upon provisions of the change in control severance agreements with our NEOs whereby the executives are entitled to the value of additional retirement benefits that would have been earned had they continued employment for two additional years after employment termination.

3

The value of these benefits is based upon the Executive Separation Pay Plan and the change in control severance agreements with our NEOs whereby the executives are entitled to continued participation in the Company's welfare and fringe benefit plans for 12 or 24 months upon covered terminations of employment, and continuation of premium payments and benefits under the Senior Executive Enhanced Life Insurance Program. Although continued participation may cease to the extent the NEO subsequently has coverage elsewhere, the numbers set forth in the table above reflect an estimate of coverage for the maximum applicable time period.

4

Amounts reflect the difference between the exercise price of the option and the closing market price of $38.31 as of December 31, 2013. Options with a strike price greater than $38.31 are shown as $0. Equity awards that were fully vested by their terms as of December 31, 2013 are not included in the numbers shown above. For information on any outstanding fully-vested awards, see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End" table.

5

Amounts reflect the market value of the shares underlying the awards as of December 31, 2013 at the closing market price of $38.31 and do not include any value for that portion of the award with respect to which the participants accrued a vested interest by or on December 31, 2013. For Messrs. Dempsey and Barnhart, the amount includes a payment upon a Change in Control for the RSU awarded in 2009 and 2010, respectively. For information on any outstanding fully-vested awards, see the “Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End” table.

6

Amounts reflect the market value of the shares underlying the awards as of December 31, 2013 at the closing market price of $38.31 and assume target level performance and do not include any value for that portion of the award with respect to which the participants accrued a vested interest by or on December 31, 2013. No value is included in the Change in Control column because performance is unknown at December 31, 2013.

7	Relative to the Cash Compensation/Severance row of the table, no additional payment is due under the Annual Incentive Plans; participants must be employed on the date of payment to receive an award; so no award is payable.

8

Relative to the Cash Compensation/Severance row of the table, the Executive Separation Pay Plan stipulates no separation benefits are due if the executive is terminated for misconduct. Under the Annual Incentive Plans, the officer generally must be employed on the date of payment to receive an award. A retirement-eligible officer also gets no bonus under the Annual Incentive Plans if terminated for Cause.

9

The amount in the Cash Compensation/Severance row of the table equals one year's salary and includes a pro-rated award under the Annual Incentive Plans for all executives. Under the Annual Incentive Plans, an executive terminated other than for cause after October 31, 2013 is entitled to a pro-rated award. The amounts shown in the table assume performance at target levels for 2013 and future years.

10

Relative to the Cash Compensation/Severance row of the table, no additional salary is due upon death or disability. But, under the Annual Incentive Plans, the participant would be entitled to a pro-rated award for a death or disability on December 31, 2013. Participants' beneficiaries would also be entitled to life insurance benefits as well as certain pension plan death benefits not shown on this table. Equity awards (other than performance shares) vest at date of death. No incremental value is shown for death because the table assumes death occurred on the last day of the year; the awards would then have already been earned.

11

Participants would be able to receive short-term disability and long-term disability payments available to all salaried employees which amounts are not shown in the table above. Participants would also accrue service under some of the pension plans during a period of disability. Equity awards (other than performance shares) vest upon the occurrence of a qualifying disability event. No incremental value is shown for disability because the table assumes disability occurred on the last day of the year; the awards would then have already been earned.

12

Executives are entitled to a pro-rated target bonus upon a change in control. This is netted against the amount paid for termination following a change in control when such termination occurs in the same year. The table reflects a December 31, 2013 event. Since a portion of the 2013 bonus is earned as of December 31, 2013, the Cash Compensation/Severance row includes the excess (if any) of the full-year target bonus over the amount actually awarded for the year. Pro-rated bonus is based on target for all NEOs. Agreements separately provide for a bonus component of the severance benefit. For all NEOs, this is based on 3-year average bonus for post-change in control termination, rather than the target bonus if this is more favorable. The severance benefits shown for Messrs. Dempsey, Stephens, Barnhart and Ms. Edwards for a post-change in control termination have been reduced by $998,124, $327,354, $297,325 and $203,287, respectively, to the largest after-tax payment.

---

13	Equity awards only allow for retirement treatment if an executive retires at or after attaining age 62 with at least five years of service. No amounts are shown in this column as none of the NEOs was eligible to retire on December 31, 2013.

•

Outstanding equity awards granted prior to January 1, 2013 became non-forfeitable on the Retirement Date, but there were no other changes such that awards will become exercisable, in the case of outstanding stock options, or will be paid, in the case of outstanding RSUs and Relative Measure PSAs, in accordance with the exercisability and payment schedules, respectively, set forth in the applicable award agreements.

•

Outstanding equity awards granted in February 2013 became non-forfeitable on the closing of the sale of the BDNA business. Except for the accelerated vesting described in the previous sentence, there were no other changes such that awards will become exercisable, in the case of outstanding stock options, or will be paid, in the case of outstanding RSUs and Relative Measure PSAs, in accordance with the exercisability and payment schedules, respectively, set forth in the applicable award agreements.

•	Outstanding stock options will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) ten years from the date of grant, or (ii) five years from the Retirement Date.

*	As reflected below, our Chairman, Mr. Barnes, who is an employee and non-management director, received the same RSU grant that the non-employee directors received in 2013.

1	Stock Awards represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs granted to directors under the Barnes Group Inc. Stock and Incentive Award Plan.

a	Stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2013 were 15,553 for Messrs. Alden, Barnes, Benanav and Bristow and Ms. Mangum, 9,600 for Mr. Carpenter, 3,553 for Messrs. Albani, Morgan and McClellan, and 5,918 for Mr. Kramer.

2	There were no Option Awards outstanding at December 31, 2013 for any of the directors.

3

At December 31, 2013, the Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings for Mr. Barnes relates to the Qualified Plan, the RBEP, the SERP and the MSSORP. The change in the pension value for the Qualified Plan, RBEP, SERP and MSSORP was ($59,703), $84,084, ($107,447) and $24, respectively. Since the net change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings for all of the plans nets to a negative amount, the net amount is excluded from the table.

4

Mr. Benanav participates in the Barnes Group Inc. Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, as amended and restated. Interest is credited each quarter, on the amount of deferred director fees and dividends, based upon the rate of interest for prime commercial loans on the first business day of each quarter. Any preferential amount would be determined by calculating the difference between the actual interest

---

5	The compensation represented by the amounts for 2013 set forth in the All Other Compensation column for the directors is detailed in the following table:

a	Taxes paid on All Other Compensation were based on the maximum tax rates of the director's jurisdiction.

b

At December 31, 2013, the aggregate balance included $40,548 of life insurance premiums paid on behalf of Mr. Barnes under the SEELIP and $18,133 of income related to a split dollar life insurance policy. The compensation associated with the split dollar life insurance agreement was calculated by determining Mr. Barnes's current share in the policy and multiplying that by an estimated term life insurance rate based upon certain factors such as the age of the insured and the amount of the policy.

c	Included in All Other Perquisites are payments made for financial planning services.

d	Mr. Barnes received an annual salary of $280,000 as an employee of the Company in 2013.

e

Included in Other are matching contributions made by the Company under the Barnes Group Inc. Retirement Savings Plan for Mr. Barnes, life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance premiums paid by the Company for the benefit of Messrs. Albani, Alden, Benanav, Bristow, Carpenter, McClellan and Morgan and Ms. Mangum; matching charitable contributions under the Barnes Group Foundation, Inc. matching gifts program for the benefit of Messrs. Albani, Alden, Barnes, Benanav and Morgan and Ms. Mangum; and spousal travel to Company events for Messrs. Albani, Alden and Barnes.

1	Included in this amount are 448,976 shares reserved for RSU awards, 336,816 shares reserved for Relative Measure PSAs assuming target performance, and 118,601 shares reserved for Relative Measure PSAs assuming above target performance.

A director will not be independent if (i) the director is, or was within the preceding three years, employed by the Company; (ii) an immediate family member of the director is, or was within the preceding three years, employed by the Company as an “executive officer” (as such term is defined by the NYSE) other than on an interim basis; (iii) the director or any immediate family member has received from the Company, during any 12 consecutive months within the preceding three years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from the Company, other than compensation received by an immediate family member of a director for service as a non-executive employee of the Company and director and committee fees and deferred compensation for prior service, provided, that such deferred compensation is not contingent on continued service; (iv) the director is employed by the Company's independent auditor; (v) an immediate family member of the director is employed by the Company's independent auditor (I) as a partner or (II) otherwise as an employee who personally works on the Company's audit; (vi) the director or an immediate family member was within the last three years a partner or employee of the Company's independent auditor and personally worked on the Company's audit within that time; or (vii) a Company executive officer is, or was within the preceding three years, on the board of directors of a company which, at the same time, employed the Company director or an immediate family member of the director as an executive officer.

b.

The following commercial and charitable relationships will not be considered material relationships that would impair a director's independence: (i) if a Company director is an employee, or an immediate family member is an executive officer, of another company that does business with the Company and, within any of the last three fiscal years, the annual sales to, or purchases from, the Company are less than 1% of the annual revenues of the other company; (ii) if a Company director is an employee, or an immediate family member is an executive officer, of another company that is indebted to the Company, or to which the Company is indebted, and the total amount of either company's indebtedness to the other is less than 1% of the total consolidated assets of the other company; and (iii) if a Company director serves as an officer, director or trustee of a charitable organization, and the Company's discretionary charitable contributions to the organization are less than 1% of such organization's total annual charitable receipts, provided, that the amount of the Company's contributions shall not include the matching of charitable contributions by Barnes Group Foundation, Inc. pursuant to the Matching Gifts Program.

c.

For relationships not covered by b. above, the directors who are independent under the Corporate Governance Guidelines in a. and b. above will determine whether the relationship is material and, therefore, whether the director is "independent." The Company will explain in the next proxy statement the basis of any Board determination that a relationship was immaterial despite the fact that it did not meet the categorical standards of immateriality in b. above.
