PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (“Galaxy Gaming,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) of proxies to be voted at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 9:00 a.m. (local time) on Wednesday, August 28, 2019, at Green Valley Ranch Resort Spa & Casino, 2300 Paseo Verde Parkway, Henderson, Nevada, 89052, and any adjournment or postponement of the meeting, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Notice and Access to Proxy Materials

We expect our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2018 Annual Report, to be mailed starting on or about July 29, 2019

Stockholders Entitled to Vote

All stockholders of record at the close of business on July 17, 2019 are entitled to vote at the meeting. At the close of business on July, 17 2019, 17,752,744 shares of common stock were outstanding. Each share is entitled to one vote on all matters that properly come before the meeting.

Voting Procedures

You may vote your shares by proxy without attending the meeting. You may vote your shares by mail signing and returning the proxy card provided.

You may also choose to vote over the Internet in accordance with the voting instructions noted on your proxy card. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day and will be accessible until 11:59 p.m. (local Las Vegas time) on August 27, 2019.

If you are the record holder of your shares, you may also vote your shares in person at the meeting. If you are not the record holder of your shares ( i.e. , they are held in “street” name by a broker, bank or other nominee), you must first obtain a proxy issued in your name from the record holder giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting.

Voting Matters

Stockholders are being asked to vote on the following matters at the annual meeting:

 

Proposal

  

Board’s
Recommendation

Proposal 1: Election of Directors (page 4)    FOR each Nominee

The Board believe that the five (5) director nominees possess a combination of qualifications, experience and judgment necessary for a well-functioning Board and the effective oversight of the Company.

  
Proposal 2: Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of the Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (page 15)    FOR

The Company has designed its executive compensation program to attract and retain executive talent, foster excellent business performance and align compensation with the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Board and Compensation Committee value stockholders’ opinions and will take into account the outcome of the advisory vote when considering future executive compensation decisions.

  
Proposal 3: Approval, on an Advisory Basis, of the Frequency with which the Company will Seek an Advisory Vote regarding Compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (page 16)   

3 YEARS

Proposal No. 3 affords stockholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often we should include a say-on-pay proposal in our proxy materials for future annual stockholder meetings or any special stockholder meeting for which we must include executive compensation information in the proxy statement for that meeting (a “say-on-pay frequency proposal”). Under this Proposal No. 3, stockholders may vote to have the say-on-pay vote every year, every two years, or every three years.

  
Proposal 4: Ratification of the Appointment of Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern as the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (page 17)    FOR

The Board has appointed Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019. As a matter of good corporate governance, stockholders are being asked to ratify the appointment of Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern.

  

All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified by the stockholder. If a proxy card is returned without instructions, the persons named as proxy holders on your proxy card will vote in accordance with the above recommendations of the Board.

With respect to any other matter that properly comes before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

Changing Your Vote

A stockholder may revoke a proxy at any time prior to its being voted by delivering written notice to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, by delivering a properly executed later-dated proxy, or by voting in person at the meeting.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on all matters), of the holders of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business.

 

2

Vote Required

Assuming a quorum is present, directors will be elected (Proposal 1) by a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting.

Proposal 2 (“say on pay”) and Proposal 4 (Ratification of Accountants) require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the meeting.

Proposal 3 (“say on frequency”) will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, which means that the option receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be determined to be the preferred frequency.

Effect of Withheld Votes or Abstentions

If you vote “WITHHOLD” in the election of directors or vote “ABSTAIN” (rather than vote “FOR” or “AGAINST”) with respect to any other proposal, your shares will count as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. A “WITHHOLD” vote will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors (Proposal 1), and an “ABSTAIN” vote will not be counted as a vote cast and will accordingly have no effect on the outcome of the other proposals (Proposals 2, 3 and 4).

Effect of Broker Non-Votes

A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker or nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on that item and has not received specific instructions from the beneficial owner. If any broker “non-votes” occur at the meeting, the broker “non-votes” will count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present but will not have an effect on any proposals presented for your vote. A broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner may not vote these shares with respect to the election of directors (Proposal 1), advisory vote on approval of named executive officer compensation (Proposal 2) or the advisory vote on “say on frequency” of executive compensation advisory votes (Proposal 3) without specific instructions from the beneficial owner as to how to vote with respect to such proposals. Brokers and other nominees will have discretionary voting power to vote without instructions from the beneficial owner on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 4) and, accordingly, your shares may be voted by your broker or nominee on Proposal 4 without your instructions.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board is elected by our stockholders to oversee the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board serves as the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except for those matters reserved for or shared with stockholders. The Board appoints our executives, who are charged with conducting the business and affairs of the Company, subject to oversight by the Board.

Nominees for Election

The Board has nominated for election as a director to the Board the five (5) persons named below to serve for a one-year term until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Company and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. Except for Mr. Michael Gavin Isaacs, each of the director nominees served as a director during 2018 and all of them are presently serving as directors. Additionally, except for Mr. Isaacs, each of the director nominees was previously elected to the Board by our stockholders. Mr. Isaacs was elected to the Board by the other members of the Board on June 4, 2019.

The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the election of each of the nominees named below as directors of the Company for the ensuing year, and the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card will vote the proxies received by them for the election of each of the nominees unless otherwise specified on those proxy cards. All of the nominees have indicated a willingness to serve as directors. However, if any nominee becomes unavailable to serve before the election, proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee selected by the Board, or the Board may decide to reduce the number of directors.

Qualifications of Directors

Our directors are responsible for overseeing the management of the Company’s business and affairs, which requires highly skilled and experienced individuals. Our Board does not maintain a separate nominating committee. The entire Board from time to time engages in evaluating the appropriate size and needs of the Board with the objective of maintaining the necessary experience, skills and independence on the Board.

When evaluating director nominees, our directors consider the following factors:

 

  •  

The appropriate size of our Board;

 

  •  

Our needs with respect to the particular talents and experience of our directors;

 

  •  

The knowledge, skills and experience of nominees, including experience in finance, administration or public service, in light of prevailing business conditions and the knowledge, skills and experience already possessed by other members of the Board;

 

  •  

Experience in political affairs;

 

  •  

Experience with accounting rules and practices; and

 

  •  

The desire to balance the benefit of continuity with the periodic injection of the fresh perspective provided by new Board members.

Our goal is to assemble a Board that brings together a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. In doing so, the Board will also consider candidates with appropriate non-business backgrounds. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Board may also consider such other factors as it may deem are in our best interests as well as our stockholders. In addition, the Board identifies nominees by first evaluating the current

 

6

members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to our 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 or if the Board decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Board then identifies the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the criteria described above. The Board may also engage in research to identify qualified individuals. To date, we have not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although we reserve the right in the future to retain a third-party search firm, if necessary. The Board does not typically consider shareholder nominees because it believes that our current nomination process is sufficient to identify directors who serve our best interests.

 

7

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE FIVE (5) NOMINEES

Corporate Governance

The Company is committed to good corporate governance, which we believe promotes the long-term interests of our stockholders and strengthens Board and management accountability.

Director Independence. We are not a “listed issuer” within the meaning of Item 407 of Regulation S-K. Applying the definition of independence set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., we have determined all of our directors are independent directors. This determination, which is made annually, helps assure the quality of the Board’s oversight of management and reduces the possibility of damaging conflicts of interest.

Board Meetings. Including two actions by unanimous written consent, the Board and/or its committees held a total of eleven (11) meetings during 2018, including ten (10) at which executive sessions were held with no members of management present. During 2018, all incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees of the Board on which they served.

Committees of the Board

Compensation  Committee.  At a meeting of the Board of Directors on July 8, 2014, the Board approved the creation of a Compensation Committee, and on October 13, 2014, adopted the Compensation Committee Charter (the “Charter”). Pursuant to the Charter, the Compensation Committee is to be comprised of no fewer than two non-employee members of the Board, and the members shall be free from any relationships or conflicts of interest with respect to the Company that would impair the member’s ability to make independent judgments. The members of the Compensation Committee will be appointed by the Board and can be removed by the Board at any time, with or without cause.

The authority and duties of the Compensation Committee include but are not limited to: approving the corporate goals and objectives relating to compensation and bonus incentive structure of the CEO and other executive officers and key employees and any company-wide bonus plans; approving any material grants of equity compensation of more than 100,000 shares of our common stock; retaining and terminating any compensation consultant; and reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Charter.

The members of the Compensation Committee are currently Mr. Zender (Chairman), Mr. DesRosiers and Mr. Waters.

Corporate Governance Committee . At a meeting of the Board of Directors on July 8, 2014, the Board approved the creation of a Corporate Governance Committee. As of the date of this report, the Board had not finalized the Corporate Governance Committee Charter. The members of the Corporate Governance Committee are currently Mr. DesRosiers (Chairman), Mr. Zender and Mr. Waters.

Audit Committee .  We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. The entire Board performs the functions of an audit committee, but no written charter governs the actions of the Board when performing the functions that would generally be performed by an audit committee. The Board approves the selection of our independent accountants and meets and interacts with the independent accountants to discuss issues related to financial reporting. In addition, the Board reviews the scope and results of the audit with the independent accountants, reviews with management and the independent accountants our annual operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal accounting procedures and considers other auditing and accounting matters including fees to be paid to the independent auditor and the performance of the independent auditor.

Our board of directors has determined that we have an audit committee financial expert, Mr. Waters, serving on the board of directors. Mr. Waters also qualifies as an independent board member.

 

8

Nominating Committee .  Our Board does not maintain a nominating committee. As a result, no written charter governs the director nomination process. The size of our Board, at this time, does not require a separate nominating committee.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight. 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 on an ongoing basis as part of its meetings. The Board’s consideration of the Company’s strategies and other matters presented to the Board, including financial matters, investments, acquisitions and divestitures, inherently include a systematic review of risk. The Board’s role in risk oversight is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with the Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for managing the Company’s risk exposure, and the Board and its committees providing oversight of those efforts.

The Company has implemented internal processes and controls to identify and manage risks and to communicate with the Board regarding risk management. These include suitability reviews of customers, partners, vendors and other persons/entities with which the Company does business, an internal and external audit process, internal approval and signature authority processes and legal department or outside counsel review of material contracts. In connection with these processes and controls, management regularly communicates with the Board, Board committees and individual directors regarding identified risks and the management of these risks, and individual directors often communicate directly with senior management on matters relating to risk management.

In part to further the distinction between management’s day to day role in operating the Company and the Board’s oversight function, the Company maintains separation between the Company’s executive officer functions and service on the Board.

Stockholder Communications with Directors. Stockholders may communicate with the Board or an individual director by sending a letter to the Board or to a director’s attention care of the Corporate Secretary of the Company at Galaxy Gaming, Inc., 6767 Spencer Street, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119. The Corporate Secretary will open, log and deliver all such correspondence (other than advertisements, solicitations or communications that contain offensive or abusive content) to directors on a periodic basis, generally in advance of each Board meeting.

Attendance at Stockholders’ Meetings. The Company encourages directors to attend the stockholders’ meeting. The Company believes at least four of the current directors will attend this year’s annual meeting.

Board Interlocks and Insider Participation. None of the Board members (i) has ever been an officer or employee of the Company or (ii) was a participant in a Related Person Transaction (as defined in “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions”) in 2018.

Employment Agreements; Severance and Change in Control Arrangements

We typically enter into employment agreements with our executive officers. The agreements specify duties and minimum compensation commitments. The agreements also provide for severance benefits in certain circumstances and impose restrictive covenants that relate to, among other things, confidentiality and competition.

On May 1, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Harry C. Hagerty. The term of the Agreement continues through April 30, 2020. Pursuant to the agreement, as amended since its execution, Mr. Hagerty receives a base salary of $200,000 and is eligible for bonuses if and as approved by the Board. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Hagerty was granted an option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price per share of $0.60, subject to vesting and other conditions. In the event Mr. Hagerty is terminated without cause or terminates his employment for good reason, he would be entitled to salary continuation and continuation of certain benefits for an additional one year.

On July 26, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Todd Cravens. The term of the Agreement continues through July 26, 2020. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Cravens is paid an annual base salary of $250,000 and is eligible for bonuses if and as approved by the Board.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE

COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, our shareholders have the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed pursuant to the SEC’s compensation disclosure rules, the compensation tables, and the narrative disclosures that accompany the compensation tables (a “say-on-pay proposal”).

Our executive compensation program is designed to be simple, effective, and link pay to performance. It reflects the size, scope, and success of our business, as well as the responsibilities of our named executive officers. We believe our compensation program appropriately rewards performance and is aligned with the long-term interests of our shareholders.

We value the feedback provided by our shareholders. We have discussions with many of our shareholders on an ongoing basis regarding various corporate governance topics, including executive compensation, and we make every effort to take into account the views of shareholders regarding the design and effectiveness of our executive compensation program.

Shareholders are being asked to approve the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED , that the compensation paid to the named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules, is hereby approved.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. However, the Board and Compensation Committee value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions regarding named executive officers.

It is expected that the next say-on-pay vote will occur at the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR PROPOSAL NO. 2.

 

15

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF SAY-ON-PAY VOTES

As described in Proposal No. 2 above, in accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the related rules of the SEC, our shareholders have the opportunity to cast an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. This Proposal No. 3 affords shareholders the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on how often we should include a say-on-pay proposal in our proxy materials for future annual shareholder meetings or any special shareholder meeting for which we must include executive compensation information in the proxy statement for that meeting (a “say-on-pay frequency proposal”). Under this Proposal No. 3, shareholders may vote to have the say-on-pay vote every year, every two years, or every three years.

We believe that say-on-pay votes should be conducted every third year so that our shareholders may periodically express their views on our executive compensation program.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the Company or the Board. However, the Board values the opinions expressed by shareholders in their votes on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future decisions regarding the frequency of conducting a say-on-pay vote.

It is expected that the next vote on a say-on-pay frequency proposal will occur at the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders.

Shareholders may cast their advisory vote to conduct advisory votes on executive compensation every “1 Year,” “2 Years,” or “3 Years,” or “Abstain.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE ON PROPOSAL NO. 3 TO HOLD SAY-ON-PAY VOTES EVERY 3 YEARS (AS OPPOSED TO 1 YEAR OR 2 YEARS).

Vote Required

A plurality of the votes cast for Proposal No. 3 will determine the shareholders’ preferred frequency for holding an advisory vote on executive compensation. This means that the option for holding an advisory vote every 1 year, 2 years, or 3 years receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the preferred frequency of the shareholders.

PROPOSAL 4

If the appointment is not ratified by stockholders, the Board will reconsider such appointment and may choose in its sole discretion to confirm the appointment of Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern or to engage a different firm to serve as the Company’s independent auditor.

OTHER MATTERS
