PROXY STATEMENT

For the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on August 18, 2021

GENERAL INFORMATION

We are providing these proxy materials to holders of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of SG Blocks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to as “SG Blocks,” the “Company,” “we,” or “us”), in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of SG Blocks (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) of proxies to be voted at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2021 Annual Meeting”) to be held at 200 Broadhollow Road, Melville, New York 11747, on August 18, 2021, beginning at 10:00 a.m., local time, and at any adjournment or postponement of our 2021 Annual Meeting.

The purpose of the 2021 Annual Meeting and the matters to be acted on are stated in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors knows of no other business that will come before the 2021 Annual Meeting.

The Board of Directors is soliciting votes (1) FOR each of the six (6) nominees named herein for election to the Board of Directors; (2) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Whitney Penn, LLP (“Whitney Penn”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021; (3) FOR the approval of an amendment (the “Amendment”) to our Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that we will have authority to grant under the Plan by an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock; and (4) FOR the approval of on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay).

HOW TO VOTE

Stockholders of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with SG Blocks’ transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the “stockholder of record” of those shares and the proxy statement is being sent directly to you by SG Blocks. If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote your shares in one of two ways: either by submitting a proxy or voting in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you choose to have your shares voted by submitting a proxy, you may do so by using the internet (please visit www.astproxyportal.com/ast/23321 and follow the instructions), by telephone, or by completing and returning by mail the proxy card you have received. Whichever method you use, each valid proxy received in time will be voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions or, if no instructions are provided, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

Vote by Mail

If you choose to submit your proxy by mail, simply mark, date and sign your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Vote by Internet or Telephone

If you choose to submit a proxy by internet, go to www.astproxyportal.com/ast/23321 to complete an electronic proxy card. Have your proxy card or voting instruction card in hand when you access the website and follow the instructions to obtain your records and to create an electronic voting instruction form. If you vote by telephone call 1-800-776-9437 and follow the instructions. Your internet or telephonic proxy must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 17, 2021 to be counted.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name, and the proxy statement is being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record of those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account. However, since you are not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting unless you bring with you a legal proxy from the stockholder of record. A legal proxy may be obtained from your broker, bank or nominee. If you do not obtain a proxy from the stockholder of record to vote your shares at the 2021 Annual Meeting, you may vote by following the voting instructions from your broker, bank or nominee describing the available processes for voting your stock.

Voting at the 2021 Annual Meeting

Submitting a proxy by mail or internet will not limit your right to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting if you decide to attend in person.

ANNUAL MEETING ADMISSION

All stockholders as of the record date are welcome to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you attend, please note that you will be asked to present government-issued identification (such as a driver’s license or passport) and evidence of your share ownership of our common stock on the record date. This can be your proxy card if you are a stockholder of record. If your shares are held beneficially in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record and you plan to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting, you will also be required to present proof of your ownership of our common stock on the record date, such as a bank or brokerage account statement or voting instruction card, to be admitted to the 2021 Annual Meeting.

No cameras, recording equipment or electronic devices will be permitted in the 2021 Annual Meeting.

Information on how to obtain directions to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting is available at: www.sgblocks.com.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

Q:		What information is contained in the proxy statement?
A:		The information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the 2021 Annual Meeting, the voting process and other required information.
Q:		How is the Company distributing the proxy materials?
A:		The rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) permit us to make our proxy materials available in one of two ways: the “full set delivery” option or the “notice only” option. A company may use a single method for all of its stockholders or may use both methods. We have elected to use the full set delivery option to deliver the proxy materials for the 2021 Annual Meeting to each stockholder of record as of the Record Date (as defined below). As such, on or about July 16, 2021, we will be mailing paper copies of our proxy materials to stockholders, as well as providing access to the proxy materials at www.sgblocks.com or www.astproxyportal.com/ast/23321. We may decide not to use the full set delivery option in the future; however, you will still have the right to request a free set of proxy materials by mail.
Q:		What items of business will be voted on at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:		The purpose of the 2021 Annual Meeting and matters to be acted upon are as follows:
		1. to elect the six (6) directors named in the proxy statement to serve on our Board of Directors until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified; 2. to ratify the appointment of Whitley Penn LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; 3. to approve an amendment to our Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that we will have authority to grant under the Plan by 2,500,000 shares; 4. to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay); and 5. to transact such other business as may properly come before the 2021 Annual Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.
Q:		How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote?
A:		The Board of Directors recommends that you vote your shares (1) FOR each of the six (6) nominees named herein for election to the Board of Directors; (2) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Whitney Penn, LLP (“Whitney Penn”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021; (3) FOR the approval of an amendment to our Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock that we will have authority to grant under the Plan by an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock; and (4) FOR the approval of on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay). We do not expect that any other matters will be presented for consideration at the 2021 Annual Meeting. If, however, any other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies intend to vote on such matters in accordance with their judgment, including any proposal to adjourn or postpone the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Q:		Who may vote at and attend the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:		You are entitled to notice of the 2021 Annual Meeting and to vote, in person or by proxy, at the 2021 Annual Meeting if you owned shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), as of the close of business on July 8, 2021, which has been fixed as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the 2021 Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, 8,822,489 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, held by 79 holders of record. Holders of record of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share.

		All stockholders as of the Record Date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you attend the Annual Meeting in person, you will be asked to present photo identification (such as a state-issued driver’s license) and proof of your ownership of shares of Common Stock before entering the meeting. Please note that if you hold shares in “street name” (through a bank or broker, for example), you will need to bring a recent brokerage statement or a letter from your broker or bank reflecting your ownership of our Common Stock as of the Record Date. If you want to vote shares you hold in street name in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting, you must bring a legal proxy in your name from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares.
Q:		What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
A:		Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.
		Record Holder. If your shares are registered directly in your name on the books of SG Blocks maintained with SG Blocks’ transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, you are considered the “record holder” of those shares, and the proxy statement is sent directly to you by SG Blocks. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant a proxy to someone to vote your shares or to vote in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting. To ensure your shares are voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting, you are urged to provide your proxy instructions promptly online or by mailing your signed proxy card in the envelope provided. Please refer to the instructions on the proxy card. Authorizing your proxy will not limit your right to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person.
		Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name (also called a “street name” holder), and the proxy statement is forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares held in your account. However, since you are not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting unless you bring with you a legal proxy from the stockholder of record. A legal proxy may be obtained from your broker, bank or nominee. If you do not wish to vote in person or you will not be attending the Annual Meeting you may instruct your broker, bank or nominee to vote your shares pursuant to voting instructions you will receive from your broker, bank or nominee describing the available processes for voting your stock.
		If you hold your shares through a broker and you do not give instructions to the record holder on how to vote, the record holder will be entitled to vote your shares in its discretion on certain matters considered routine, such as the ratification of the appointment of independent auditors. The uncontested election of directors, the approval, on an advisory and non-binding basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers and the approval of the amendment to the Stock Incentive Plan are not considered routine matters; and, therefore, brokers do not have the discretion to vote on those proposals. If you hold your shares in street name and you do not instruct your broker how to vote in these matters not considered routine, no votes will be cast on your behalf. These “broker non-votes” will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but not as shares entitled to vote on a particular proposal.
Q:		Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A:		You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting. To change your vote or revoke your proxy if you are the record holder, you may (1) notify our Corporate Secretary in writing at SG Blocks, Inc., 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201; (2) submit a later-dated proxy (either by mail or internet), subject to the voting deadlines that are described on the proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable; (3) deliver to our Corporate Secretary another duly executed proxy bearing a later date; or (4) by attending the 2021 Annual Meeting in person and voting your shares during such time. Attending the 2021 Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy unless you specifically so request.
		For shares you hold beneficially, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or nominee or, if you have obtained a valid proxy from your broker or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the 2021 Annual Meeting in person and voting your shares during such time.

Q:		Who can help answer my questions?
A:		If you have any questions about the 2021 Annual Meeting or how to vote or revoke your proxy, or you need additional copies of this proxy statement or voting materials, you should contact the Corporate Secretary, SG Blocks, Inc., at 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201 or by phone at (646) 240-4235.
Q:		How are votes counted?
A:		In the election of directors, you may vote FOR all of the six (6) nominees named herein or you may direct your vote to be WITHHELD with respect to any one or more of the four nominees. With respect to Proposals 2-4, you may vote FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN. On these proposals, if you ABSTAIN, it has the same effect as a vote AGAINST.
		If you provide specific instructions on your proxy card, your shares will be voted as you instruct. If you are a record holder and you sign your proxy card or voting instruction card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors, namely (1) FOR each of the six (6) nominees named herein for election to the Board of Directors; (2) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Whitney Penn, LLP (“Whitney Penn”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ending on December 31, 2021; (3) FOR the approval of an amendment to our Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that we will have authority to grant under the Plan by an additional 2,500,000 shares of common stock; and (4) FOR the approval of on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay).
Q:		What is a quorum and why is it necessary?
A:		Conducting business at the meeting requires a quorum. The holders of one third of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the 2021 Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy constitutes a quorum. Abstentions and proxies marked “withhold” for the election of directors are treated as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote in person at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes ((which result when your shares are held in “street name”, and you do not tell the nominee how to vote your shares and the nominee does not have discretion to vote such shares or declines to exercise discretion) are treated as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting.
Q:		What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?
A:		For Proposal 1 (the election of directors), the six (6) persons named herein receiving the highest number of FOR votes cast at the 2021 Annual Meeting (from the holders of votes of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2021 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors) will be elected. You may vote either FOR all of the nominees, WITHHOLD your vote from all of the nominees or WITHHOLD your vote from any one of the nominees. Only votes FOR will affect the outcome. Abstentions, Withheld votes and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote as long as each nominee receives at least one FOR vote. You do not have the right to cumulate your votes.
		To be approved, Proposal 2, which relates to the ratification of the appointment of Whitney Penn, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021, must receive FOR votes from the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2021 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as an AGAINST vote and broker-non votes, if any, will have no effect on the votes for this proposal. Although none are expected to exist in connection with Proposal 2 since this is a routine matter for which brokers have discretion to vote if beneficial owners do not provide voting instructions, broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect. This vote is advisory, and therefore is not binding on us or the Board of Directors. If our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board of Directors will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board of Directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

		To be approved, Proposal 3, which relates to the approval of an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock that may be granted under our Stock Incentive Plan, must receive FOR votes from the holders of a majority of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as an AGAINST vote. Broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of this proposal.
		To be approved, Proposal 4, which relates to the approval, on an advisory, non-binding basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers (Say-on-Pay), must receive FOR votes from the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as an AGAINST vote. Broker non-votes will have no effect. This vote is advisory, and therefore is not binding on us, the Compensation Committee or the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officers’ compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. If your shares are held in “street name” and you do not indicate how you wish to vote, your broker is permitted to exercise its discretion to vote your shares on certain “routine” matters. The only routine matter to be submitted to our stockholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting is Proposal 2. Each of Proposals 1,3 and 4 are not routine matters. Accordingly, if you do not direct your broker how to vote in Proposal 1, 3 or 4, your broker may not exercise discretion and may not vote your shares on that proposal. For purposes of Proposals 1, 3 and 4, broker non-votes are not considered to be “present in person or by proxy” at the meeting. As such, broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposals 1, 3 or 4.
Q:		What should I do if I receive more than one proxy statement?
A:		You may receive more than one proxy statement. For example, if you are a stockholder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy statement. Please follow the voting instructions on all of the proxy statements to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
Q:		Where can I find the voting results of the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:		We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the 2021 Annual Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we expect will be filed within four (4) business days of the 2021 Annual Meeting. If final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four (4) business days after the 2021 Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish results as to matters for which we have final votes and, within four (4) business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to publish the final results.
Q:		What happens if additional matters are presented at the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:		Other than the four (4) items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the 2021 Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Mr. Paul Galvin, our Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Gerald Sheeran, our Acting Chief Financial Officer, or either of them, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.
Q:		How many shares are outstanding and how many votes is each share entitled?
A:		Each share of our Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of the close of business on July 8, 2021, the Record Date, is entitled to be voted on all items being voted on at the 2021 Annual Meeting, with each share being entitled to one vote on each matter. As of the Record Date, July 8, 2021, 8,822,489 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.
Q:		Who will count the votes?
A:		One or more inspectors of election will tabulate the votes.

Q:		Is my vote confidential?
A:		Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed, either within SG Blocks or to anyone else, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements; (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote; or (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.
Q:		Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the 2021 Annual Meeting?
A:		The Board of Directors is making this solicitation on behalf of SG Blocks, which will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials. Certain of our directors, officers, and employees, without any additional compensation, may also solicit your vote in person, by telephone or by electronic communication. On request, we will reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and solicitation materials to stockholders. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, telegram, facsimile and advertisement in periodicals and postings, in each case by our directors, officers and employees without additional compensation. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward solicitation materials to beneficial owners and will be reimbursed for their reasonable expenses incurred in so doing. We may request by telephone, facsimile, mail, electronic mail or other means of communication the return of the proxy cards. In addition, we have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to aid in the solicitation of proxies for this year. We will pay D.F. King & Co., Inc. fees of not more than $7,500 plus expense reimbursement for its services. We may request by telephone, facsimile, mail, electronic mail or other means of communication the return of the proxy cards. Please contact D.F. King & Co., Inc. at (866) 207-2239 with any questions you may have regarding our proposals.
Q:		When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s Annual Meeting?
A:		To be considered for inclusion in next year’s Annual Meeting proxy materials pursuant to SEC Rule 14a-8, your proposal must be submitted in writing by Wednesday, March 16, 2022, to the attention of the Corporate Secretary of SG Blocks, Inc. at 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201. If you wish to submit a proposal (including a director nomination) at the meeting that is not intended to be included in next year’s proxy materials prepared by SG Blocks, you must do so in accordance with SG Blocks’ bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations. See also “Stockholder Proposals for the Annual Meeting” elsewhere in this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE YOUR SHARES FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THESE NOMINEES

Currently, the Board of Directors consists of six (6) members and may be changed by resolution of the Board of Directors. At the 2021 Annual Meeting, six (6) nominees will be elected as directors. All six (6) of the current members: Paul Galvin (Chairman of the Board), Christopher Melton, Yaniv Blumenfeld, Maggie Coleman, Joseph Safina and David Villarreal (Lead Independent Director) have been nominated by the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors of SG Blocks for election as directors of SG Blocks at the 2021 Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of SG Blocks to elect the above-described nominees, each to serve as a director until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his/her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. All of the nominees have consented to being named in this proxy statement and to serve as a director if elected. At the time of the 2021 Annual Meeting, if any of the nominees named above is not available to serve as director (an event that the Board of Directors does not currently have any reason to anticipate), all proxies may be voted for any one or more other persons that the Board of Directors designates in their place. It is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote all shares of Common Stock for which they have been granted a proxy for the election of each of the nominees, each to serve as a director until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his/her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

The Board of Directors believes that each of the nominees is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board of Directors and each has contributed to the mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications of the Board of Directors. When evaluating candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including experience, skills, expertise, personal and professional integrity, character, business judgment, time availability in light of other commitments, dedication, conflicts of interest, those criteria and qualifications described in each director’s biography below and such other relevant factors that the Nominating Environmental, Social and Governance Committee considers appropriate in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee evaluates and recommends director nominees for the Board’s consideration. Each of the director nominees for the 2021 Annual Meeting was evaluated and recommended by the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors.

Director Qualifications

The Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee has not established specific criteria or minimum qualifications that must be met by director nominees, but recognizes the value of nominating candidates who bring a variety of experiences, skills, perspectives and backgrounds to Board deliberations. The independent directors, when identifying nominees to serves as directors of the Company, consider each nominee’s qualifications, including educational, business and professional experience, such as real estate, manufacturing and finance, and whether such nominees will satisfy the independence standards under the Nasdaq capital Markets (“Nasdaq”) and SEC rules and regulations. We do not have a set policy or process for considering diversity in identifying nominees, but strive to identity and recruit nominees with a broad diversity of experience, talents, professions, backgrounds, perspective, age, gender, ethnicity and country of citizenship, and who possess the commitment necessary to make a significant contribution to the Company. Board nominees should be committed to enhancing long-term stockholder value and should possess high standards of integrity and ethical behavior. The Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee may also consider other elements it deems appropriate.

We believe that the continuing service of qualified incumbent directors promotes stability and continuity in the function of the Board of Directors, contributing to the Board of Directors’ ability to work as a collective body, while giving us the benefit of the familiarity and insight into our affairs that our directors have accumulated during their tenure. Therefore, the independent directors will generally re-nominate incumbent directors who continue to be qualified for Board of Directors service and are willing to continue in such role. If an incumbent director is not standing for re-election or if a vacancy occurs between annual stockholder meetings, the Committee will seek out potential candidates for Board of Directors appointment who meet the criteria for selection as a nominee and have the

specific qualities or skills being sought. Director candidates will be selected based upon input from the members of the Board of Directors, senior management of the Company and, if the Committee deems appropriate, a third-party search firm.

Stockholder Recommendations

We will also consider director candidates submitted in writing by stockholders. A stockholder who wishes to nominate a person for election must provide written notice to the Company in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws. Among other requirements, such notification shall contain certain background information and the consent of each nominee to serve as one our directors, if elected. Stockholder nominations for election to the Board of Directors for the 2022 annual meeting of stockholders must be made by written notification. See “Stockholder Proposals For the 2022 Annual Meeting.”

All potential director candidates will be evaluated in the same manner, regardless of the source of the recommendation.

Stockholder Communications with Directors

The Board of Directors has established a process to receive communications from stockholders. Stockholders may contact any member or all members of the Board of Directors, any Board committee, or any chair of any such committee by mail. To communicate with the Board of Directors, any individual director or any group or committee of directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board of Directors or any such individual director or group or committee of directors by either name or title.

The Board of Directors has instructed the Corporate Secretary to forward stockholder correspondence only to the intended recipients, and has also instructed the Corporate Secretary to review all stockholder correspondence and, in the Corporate Secretary’s discretion, refrain from forwarding any items deemed to be of a commercial or frivolous nature or otherwise inappropriate for the Board of Directors’ consideration. Any such items may be forwarded elsewhere in our company for review and possible response.

THE BOARD AND ITS COMMITTEES

Board Leadership Structure

The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure to provide independent oversight of management. Our Board is currently led by a Chairman of the Board who also serves as our Chief Executive Officer. The Board understands that the right Board leadership structure may vary depending on the circumstances, and our independent directors periodically assess these roles and the Board leadership to ensure the leadership structure best serves the interests of the Company and stockholders.

Mr. Galvin currently holds the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles. Mr. Villarreal currently serves as the Lead Independent Director appointed by the majority of the Board.

The responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director include, among others: (i) serving as primary intermediary between non-employee directors and management; (ii) approving the agenda and meeting schedules for the Board; (iii) advising the Chairman of the Board as to the quality, quantity and timeliness of the information submitted by management to directors; (iv) recommending director candidates and selections for the membership and chairman position for each committee of the Board; (v) calling meetings of independent directors; and (vi) serving as liaison for consultation and communication with stockholders.

We believe the current leadership structure, with combined Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles and a Lead Independent Director, best serves the Company and its stockholders at this time. Mr. Galvin possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the Company and the industry and the issues, opportunities and challenges we face, and is best positioned to ensure the most critical business issues are brought for consideration by the Board. In addition, having one leader serving as both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides decisive, consistent and effective leadership, as well as clear accountability to our stockholders and customers. This enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees, customers and suppliers, particularly during times of turbulent economic and industry conditions. The Board believes the appointment of a strong Lead Independent Director and the use of regular executive sessions of the non-management directors, along with a majority the Board being composed of independent directors, allow it to maintain effective oversight of management. We believe that the combination of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles is appropriate in the current circumstances and, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, separation of these offices would not serve our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders at this time.

Director Independence

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 requires a majority of a listed company’s board to be comprised of independent directors. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit and compensation committees be independent under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Members of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rules 10A-3 and 10C-1 under the Exchange Act, respectively. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2), a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of the Board, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Exchange Act Rule 10A-3, an Audit Committee member may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Board or any other committee of the Board, accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or otherwise be affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In order for Compensation Committee members to be considered independent for purposes of Exchange Act Rule 10C-1, the Board must consider all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to the Company that is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including, but not limited to: (1) the source of compensation of the director, including any consulting advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the Company to the director; and (2) whether the director is affiliated with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

The Board has reviewed the materiality of any relationship that each of our directors has with the Company and has determined that each of Messrs. Villarreal, Blumenfeld, Melton and Safina, and Ms. Coleman, is “independent” in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Galvin is not considered “independent” due to his executive position. As such independent directors comprise a majority of our Board and the members of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committees are fully independent.

There are no family relationships between any of our directors, director nominees or executive officers.

Board and Committee Responsibilities

Generally

The Board is the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except with respect to those matters to be decided by the stockholders. It selects the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management team, which is charged with the conduct of the Company’s day-to-day business. The Board acts as an advisor and counselor to senior management and ultimately monitors its performance. The function of the Board to monitor the performance of senior management is facilitated by the presence of non-employee directors who have substantive knowledge of the Company’s business.

Our Board has established a separate standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a written charter, a copy of which may be viewed on the Company’s website at https://www.sgblocks.com under the “Investors — Corporate Governance” tab.

Audit Committee

The members of our Audit Committee are Mr. Melton, who serves as chairperson, Mr. Safina and Ms. Coleman. The Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee consist of at least three members of the Board, each of whom is required to be independent as defined by Nasdaq and SEC rules. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is independent, as defined by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). The Board has also determined that Mr. Melton is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. Functions of the Audit Committee include, but are not limited to, reviewing the results and scope of the audit performed, and the financial recommendations provided by, our independent registered public accounting firm and coordinating the Board’s oversight of our internal financing and accounting processes.

All audit services to be provided to the Company by our independent public accounting firm, Whitley Penn, are pre-approved by the Audit Committee prior to the initiation of such services (except for items exempt from pre-approval requirements under applicable laws and rules). The Audit Committee approved all services provided by Whitley Penn to us during 2020.

Compensation Committee

The members of our Compensation Committee are Mr. Villarreal, who serves as chairperson, Ms. Coleman and Mr. Safina. The Compensation Committee Charter requires that the Compensation Committee consist of at least two members of the Board, each of whom is required to be independent as defined by Nasdaq rules. The Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent, as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2).

Functions of the Compensation Committee, include, but are not limited to: reviewing and approving, or recommending the Board approve, compensation arrangements for our executive officers, including salary and payments under the Company’s equity-based plans; reviewing compensation for non-employee directors and recommending changes to the Board; and administering our stock compensation plans. Our principal executive officer annually reviews the performance of each of the named executive officers and other officers and makes recommendations regarding the named executive officers and other officers and managers of the company, while the Compensation Committee reviews the performance of our principal executive officer. The conclusions and recommendations resulting from our principal executive officer’s review are then presented to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and approval. The Compensation Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any of our principal executive officer’s recommendations. The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to a subcommittee of its members.

In performing its functions, the Compensation Committee may retain or obtain the advice of such compensation consultants, legal counsel and other advisors. In September 2020, the Compensation Committee engaged Haigh & Company as its independent compensation consultant. With the assistance of Haigh & Company, the Compensation Committee developed and implemented an organizational framework covering salary, annual bonus and equity ownership, with the goal of attracting and retaining talented individuals who are critical to the Company’s long-term success and aligning pay with performance. Based on the information received from the consultant, the Compensation Committee believes that the work Haigh & Company performed in 2020 did not raise a conflict of interest and that it was fully independent. The Compensation Committee had previously engaged Haigh & Company in February 2018 as its independent compensation consultant.

Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee

The members of our Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee are Ms. Coleman, who serves as the chairperson, Mr. Melton and Mr. Villarreal. The Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee Charter requires that the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee consist of at least two members of the Board, each of whom is required to be independent as defined by Nasdaq rules. The Board has determined that each member of the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee is independent, as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). Specific responsibilities of the Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee include: (i) considering and recommending to the Board, candidates for election to the Board; (ii) considering recommendations and proposals submitted by stockholders in respect of Board nominees, establishing policies in respect of such recommendations and proposals (including stockholder communications with the board of directors), and recommending any action to the Board in respect of such stockholder recommendations and proposals; (iii) identifying, evaluating and recommending to the board of directors, candidates to serve on committees of the Board; (iv) assessing the performance of the Board; (v) reviewing the Company’s sustainability and societal impact and (vi) reviewing risk governance structure, risk assessment and risk management practices and guidelines, policies and processes for risk assessment and risk management, including cyber security measures.

Ad Hoc Committees

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we also maintained an Executive Committee, which was terminated in July 2020.

Changes to Procedures for Recommending Nominees to the Board of Directors

On June 4, 2021, the Company adopted amended and restated bylaws. Section 2.4 of the bylaws sets forth advance notice procedures for director nominations and other stockholder business. Stockholders seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors at or bring other business before an annual or special meeting of stockholders must provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice generally will have to be delivered to and received at the Company’s principal executive offices before notice of the meeting is issued by the secretary of the Company, with such notice being served not less than 60 nor more than 75 days before the meeting.

Conduct of Board Meetings

The Chairman sets the agenda for Board meetings with the understanding that the Board is responsible for providing suggestions for agenda items that are aligned with the advisory and monitoring functions of the Board. Agenda items that fall within the scope of responsibilities of a committee of the Board are reviewed with the chair of that committee. Any member of the Board may request that an item be included on the agenda. Board materials related to agenda items are provided to Board members sufficiently in advance of Board meetings to allow the directors to prepare for discussion of the items at the meeting. At the invitation of the Board, members of senior management recommended by the Chairman attend Board meetings or portions thereof for the purpose of participating in discussions.

Meeting Attendance

During 2020, our Board of Directors held six meetings of the full Board, three Audit Committee meetings, five Compensation Committee, two Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee meetings and four Executive Committee meetings. The Nominating, Environmental, Social and Governance Committee was formed in February 2020 and the Executive Committee was formed in March 2020 and terminated in July 2020. Each of the incumbent directors attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period for which he was a director and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which he served during the periods that he was a member of that committee.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our directors have been encouraged, but not required to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Due to COVID-19 concerns, two of our directors attended our 2020 Annual Meeting and one or more of our directors are expected not to attend the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

Our executive officers are responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the Company faces, while our Board has an advisory role in the Company’s risk management process, as a whole and at the committee level, and, in particular, the Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic and operational risk exposures, including cybersecurity risk. The Board and committees rely on the representations of management, the external audit of our financial and operating results, our systems of internal control and our historic practices when assessing the Company’s risks. The Audit Committee oversees management of financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, and additionally provides oversight of internal controls. The Compensation Committee, in conjunction with the Audit Committee, assesses and monitors whether any of the Company’s compensation policies and programs have the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed about such risks by committee reports, as well as advice and counsel from expert advisors.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between the directors of the Board or any of the executive officers of the Company.

Communication with Directors

Historically, the Company has not provided a formal process related to stockholder communications with the Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. The Company believes its responsiveness to stockholder communications to the Board of Directors has been excellent.

Stockholders and interested parties who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors, non-management members of the Board of Directors as a group or a specific member of the Board of Directors may do so by letters addressed to the attention of our Corporate Secretary.

The address for these communications is: SG Blocks, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

We maintain an insider trading policy that applies to our officers and directors that prohibits trading our securities when in possession of material non-public information. It also prohibits the hedging of our securities, including short sales or purchases or sales of derivative securities based on our securities, and, unless an exemption is approved by our Audit Committee, the pledging of our securities. Since the adoption of our insider trading policy, the Audit Committee has not granted any such exemptions to the policy’s general prohibition on pledging.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of a registered class of SG Blocks, Inc. equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock. Such officers, directors and persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file with the SEC.

Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms that were received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, we are not aware of any failures to file reports or report transactions in a timely manner during the year ended December 31, 2020 other than a late Form 3 filing by Larry G. Swets upon becoming a 10% owner of our common stock and a late Form 4 filing by Mr. Swets upon acquisition of shares of our common stock.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at https://www.sgblocks.com under the “Investors — Corporate Governance” tab, and is available free of charge, upon request to our Corporate Secretary at SG Blocks, Inc., 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201; telephone number: (646) 240-4235. Any substantive amendment of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and any waiver of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for executive officers or directors, will be made only after approval by the Board or a committee of the Board and will be disclosed on our website. In addition, any such waiver will be disclosed within four days on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC if then required by applicable rules and regulations.

Related Party Transactions

The following is a summary of transactions since January 1, 2019 to which we have been a party in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 and in which any of our executive officers, directors or beneficial holders of more than five percent of our capital stock had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements and equity awards granted to our executive officers and directors during 2019 and 2020 that are described under the sections of this proxy statement entitled “Executive Compensation” and “Director Compensation”.

On January 21, 2020, CPF GP 2019-1 LLC (“CPF GP”) issued to the Company a promissory note in the principal amount of $400,000 (the “Company Note”) and issued to Paul Galvin, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “Galvin Note”). The transaction closed on January 22, 2019, on which date the Company loaned CPF GP 2019-1 LLC $400,000 and Mr. Galvin personally loaned CPF GP $100,000 on behalf of the Company.

The Company Note and Galvin Note were issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement and Promissory Note, dated October 3, 2019, as amended on October 15, 2019 and November 7, 2019 by and between the CPF GP and the Company, and bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum, payable, together with the unpaid principal amount of the promissory notes, on the earlier of the July 31, 2023 maturity date or upon the liquidation, redemption sale or issuance of a dividend upon the LLC interests in CPF MF 2019-1 LLC, a Texas limited liability company of which CPF GP is the general partner. The terms of the Galvin Note, however, provide that all interest payments due to Mr. Galvin under the Galvin Note shall be paid directly to, and for the benefit of, the Company. In connection with the issuance of the Company Note and the Galvin Note, CPF GP, the Company and Mr. Galvin entered into a Security Agreement, dated January 21, 2020, pursuant to which CPF GP granted a security interest in its LLC interests in CPF MF 2019-1 LLC to the Company and Mr. Galvin to secure its obligations thereunder.

On January 31, 2020, Mahesh Shetty, the Company’s former President and Chief Financial Officer (“Former Employee”), filed suit against the Company and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Galvin, claiming (i) $372,638 in unpaid wages and bonuses and (ii) $300,000 due in severance (hereafter the “Action”). The Former Employee has also named the Company’s third party payroll processing company Staff-One as a co-defendant. The Company maintains that the Former Employee agreed to accept (and did receive) restricted stock units of the Company’s common stock in full satisfaction and payment of all alleged unpaid wages and bonuses that are claimed in the Action, and/or has otherwise been paid in full for all amounts claimed. The Company further maintains that the Former Employee’s employment agreement precludes any entitlement to or liability for severance. On March 25, 2020, the Former Employee filed an amended complaint raising additional claims of retaliation and indemnification. On April 27, 2020, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the Action. The Company asserted that the Former Employee agreed to accept (and did receive) restricted stock units of the Company’s common stock in full satisfaction and payment of all alleged unpaid wages and bonuses that are claimed in the Action, and/or has otherwise been paid in full for all amounts claimed. The Company further maintained that the Former Employee’s employment agreement precludes any entitlement to or liability for severance.

On June 15, 2020, the Court entered a decision granting in part and denying in part the Company’s motion to dismiss. Specifically, the Court dismissed the Former Employee’s claim (i) for severance (in the amount of $300,000) and unpaid wages pursuant to the FLSA, but denied dismissal of the Former Employee’s claims for retaliation under the FLSA or unpaid wages allegedly due under the New York Labor Law. The parties are in the middle of pre-trial discovery. Fact discovery is scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2021. No trial date has been set. The Company denies the merits of the claims set forth in the Former Employee’s amended complaint and/or asserts that valid defenses preclude any recovery, and intends to vigorously defend against the Action. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and the outcome of this action is not predicted with assurance. The Company is currently unable to predict the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with the resolution of this litigation, and, accordingly, the Company has made no provision related to this matter in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Related Party Review Procedures

Pursuant to our Audit Committee charter, our Audit Committee reviews on an on-going basis our policies and procedures for reviewing and approving or ratifying all “Related Party Transactions” (defined as transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K), including the Company’s Related Person Transaction Policy, and recommend any changes to the Board. In accordance with our Related Person Transaction Policy and Nasdaq Rule 4350 (h), the Audit Committee conducts appropriate review and oversight of all related person transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis. Any transaction with a related person is subject to our written policy for transactions with related persons. Pursuant to such policy, our Audit Committee reviews in advance all related person transactions. The Audit Committee approves only those related person transactions that are determined to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, taking into account all available facts and circumstances as the Audit Committee determines in good faith to be necessary. These facts and circumstances will typically include, but not be limited to: whether the transaction was undertaken in the

ordinary course of business of the Company; the purpose and potential benefits of the transaction to the Company; the terms of the transaction and of comparable transactions that would be available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally; and the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, stockholder or executive officer. In reviewing and approving such transactions, the Audit Committee obtains, or will direct management to obtain on its behalf, all information that the Audit Committee believes to be relevant and important to a review of the transaction prior to its approval. The Audit Committee may adopt any further policies and procedures relating to the approval of related person transactions that it deems necessary or advisable from time to time.

PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee has appointed Whitley Penn, an independent registered public accounting firm, to audit our financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Whitley Penn has served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since July 28, 2016. The Board of Directors proposes that the stockholders ratify this appointment. We expect that representatives of Whitley Penn will be present at the meeting via telephone, will be able to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Although stockholder approval of this appointment is not required by law or binding on the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee believes that stockholders should be given the opportunity to express their views. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Whitley Penn as the Company’s independent auditors, the Audit Committee will consider this vote in determining whether to continue the engagement of Whitley Penn.

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Whitley Penn as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees for professional service rendered by Whitley Penn for each of the last two fiscal years:

	2020		2019
Audit fees(1)	$	199,500	$	243,128
Audit-related fees(2)		—		—
Tax fees(3)		—		—
All other fees(4)		—		—
Totals	$	199,500	$	243,128

____________

(1) Audit fees include fees paid to Whitley Penn for professional services rendered for the audit for our annual financial statements and reviews of the financial statements included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and fees related to securities registration statements and related comfort letter procedures.

(2) Audit-related fees principally involve other assurance and related services.

(4) No other services were performed for us by Whitley Penn in 2020 or 2019.

The Audit Committee has implemented pre-approval procedures consistent with the rules adopted by the SEC. All audit services to be provided to the Company by our independent public accounting firm, Whitley Penn, are pre-approved by the Audit Committee prior to the initiation of such services (except for items exempt from pre-approval requirements under applicable laws and rules). The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of the services by Whitley Penn reported hereunder had no impact on its independence.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve the ratification of the appointment of SG Blocks’ registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against and broker-non-votes, if any, see above (although none are anticipated since this is a routine matter for which brokers may vote in their discretion if beneficial owners of our stock do not provide voting instructions not directed by stockholders how to vote), will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF WHITLEY PENN LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2021.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT1

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal control. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 with management, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

The Audit Committee also has reviewed and discussed with Whitley Penn, our independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those consolidated financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, its judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee by the Statement on Auditing Standard No. 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, as adopted by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Whitley Penn required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with Whitley Penn its independence.

Based on the considerations and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors approved) that the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table

Following is a brief summary of each core element of the compensation program for our named executive officers.

Base Salary

We provide competitive base salaries that are intended to attract and retain key executive talent. Base salary levels depend on the executive’s position, responsibilities, experience, market factors, recruitment and retention factors, internal equity factors and our overall compensation philosophy. Effective January 1, 2017, we entered into

an employment agreement with Mr. Galvin as described further below under “Employment Agreements.” On July 24, 2018, the Compensation Committee approved an increase to the annual base salary of Mr. Galvin, the Company’s President, retroactive to January 1, 2018. Mr. Galvin’s salary increased from $240,000 to $370,000. Such increases were based on a competitive market assessment provided by Haigh & Company, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant.

On August 22, 2019, the Board appointed Gerald Sheeran, the former Controller of the Company, as the acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company. We do not have a written agreement with Mr. Sheeran. Effective on August 21, 2019, the annual base salary of Mr. Sheeran increased from $120,000 to $180,000 as a result of his appointment to Acting Chief Financial Officer.

On December 1, 2019, the annual base salary for Mr. Galvin decreased from $370,000 to $180,000. The annual base salary for Mr. Sheeran decreased from $180,000 to $120,000 effective December 1, 2019.

We plan to issue Mr. Rogers an initial grant of 100,000 restricted stock units following a 90-day probationary period, pursuant to the SG Blocks, Inc., Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”) which will vest over a two-year period. Mr. Rogers may participate in benefit plans for which he is eligible as may be established from time to time by the Company for its executive employees, including the cost of medical benefits provided to Mr. Rogers and his family as well as paid time off. We also provide Mr. Rogers with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. Mr. Rogers’ employment is on an “at will” basis and may be terminated at any time by Mr. Rogers or the Company.

Bonus Payments

No bonus were earned by any named executive officer for 2019 or for 2020.

Stock Options

In the past, we generally offered stock options to our key employees, including our named executive officers, as the long-term incentive component of our compensation program. Our stock options allow key employees to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a price per share equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, and may be intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under the Internal Revenue Code. No stock options were granted to any named executive officer for 2019 or 2020.

Employment/Consulting Agreements

The following discussion relates to compensation arrangements on behalf of, and compensation paid by the Company to, Messrs. Galvin, and Armstrong pursuant to the terms of their employment/consulting agreements with the Company.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation Program

Our director compensation program is designed to attract and retain highly qualified directors and align their interests with those of our stockholders. We compensate directors who are not employed by the Company with a combination of cash and equity awards. Mr. Galvin did not receive any compensation for serving on our Board in 2020.

The Compensation Committee reviews the director compensation program and recommends proposed changes for approval by the Board. As part of this review, the Compensation Committee considers the significant amount of time expended, and the skill level required, by each director not employed by the Company in fulfilling his or her duties on the Board, each director’s role and involvement on the Board and its committees and the market compensation practices and levels of our peer companies.

During its annual review of the director compensation program in 2018, the Compensation Committee considered an analysis prepared by its independent consultant, Haigh & Company, which summarized director compensation trends for independent directors and pay levels at the same peer companies used to evaluate the compensation of our named executive officers. Following this review, and after considering the advice of Haigh & Company about market practices and pay levels, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the new compensation program for non-employee directors described below, which remained in effect during 2020.

Cash Fees

The following table sets forth the cash fee schedule for compensating non-employee directors from January 2020 through December 2020:

	1/20 – 12/20
Annual Board Retainer	$	30,000
Lead Independent Director	$	10,000
Audit Committee Chair	$	10,000
Compensation Committee Chair	$	7,500
Nominating, Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Committee Chair	$	5,000

The above fees are to be paid quarterly in advance, in four equal installments, to each person serving as a non-employee director at the time when such payment is made. Non-employee directors may choose to receive the annual Board retainer as equity in restricted stock units (“RSUs”), in, effective January 15 of the year in which the annual cash retainer is otherwise earned. Among other things, each RSU granted represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock; vests one year after grant, subject to the recipient’s continued service as a director of the Company through such date; and is payable six months after the termination of the director from the Board or death or disability. Directors receive no additional per-meeting fee for Board or committee meeting attendance.

Annual Equity Awards

In addition, pursuant to the SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan, during 2020 non-employee directors received an annual grant of RSUs (the “Equity Awards”), with a grant date value of $50,000, some of which were issued in May 2020 and the balance of which were issued in November 2020 after the Compensation Committee reviewed the 2020 compensation report prepared by Haigh & Company. The RSUs vest as to 50% on the date of grant and 50% on the one year anniversary of the date of grant.

Additional Compensation

In connection with special committees that the Board may form from time to time in connection with various transactions or undertakings, the Board may award additional compensation to the directors, in its discretion, for membership on such special committees. The Board may, from time to time, grant additional merit-based cash or equity compensation to non-employee directors for extraordinary service. All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with each Board and committee meeting attended.

The following table sets forth information regarding all forms of compensation that were both earned by and paid to our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2020.

(1) The number of shares and the percent beneficially owned by each entity or individual are based upon 8,822,489 shares of Common Stock outstanding and assume the exercise of all exercisable options and vesting of all outstanding time-based restricted stock units (including those that would be exercisable or vested within 60 days of July 8, 2021). The percent beneficially owned is a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each entity or individual (including any exercisable options, as described herein) and the denominator of which is the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issued upon (i) exercise by the subject entity or individual of such entity or individual’s own options and warrants and (ii) vesting of outstanding time-based restricted stock units.

PROPOSAL 3 — AMENDMENT TO THE SG BLOCKS, INC. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The Plan was initially approved by the Board of Directors and our stockholders in January 2017. The Plan, as adopted, reserved an aggregate of 75,000 shares of Common Stock (1,500,000 shares on a pre-stock split basis) for issuance and was amended by Amendment No. 1 for an increase to 125,000 shares of Common Stock (2,500,000 shares on a pre-stock split basis) on June 1, 2018 and was further amended by Amendment No. 2 for an increase to 1,125,000 shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors requests that stockholders approve an additional amendment to the Plan (the “Amendment”) to increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance of awards under the Plan by 2,500,000 shares, to 3,625,000 shares. The Company implemented a reverse stock split of its shares of common stock at a ratio of one-for-twenty, which was effective on February 5, 2020.

As of the Record Date, 179,547 shares remained available for grant under the Plan.

Reasons for the Proposed Amendment

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Amendment to the Plan to increase the number of authorized shares. In making such recommendation, the Board of Directors considered a number of factors, including the following:

• Equity-based compensation awards are a critical element of our overall compensation program. We believe that our long-term incentive compensation program aligns the interests of management, employees and the stockholders to create long-term stockholder value. The amendment to the Plan will allow us to continue to attract, motivate and retain our officers, key employees, non-employee directors and consultants.

• We believe the current amount of shares remaining available for grant under the Plan are not sufficient in light of our compensation structure and strategy, and that the additional 2,500,000 shares being sought will ensure that we continue to have a sufficient number of shares authorized and available for future awards issued under the Plan.

Stockholders are asked to approve the amendment to the Plan to satisfy Nasdaq requirements relating to stockholder approval of equity compensation and to qualify certain stock options authorized under the Plan for treatment as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Share Usage and Key Data

We manage our long-term stockholder dilution by limiting the number of equity incentive awards granted annually. The Compensation Committee monitors our annual stock award Burn Rate and Overhang (each as defined below), among other factors, in its efforts to maximize stockholders’ value by granting what, in the Committee’s judgment, are the appropriate number of equity incentive awards necessary to attract, reward, and retain employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The table below illustrates our Burn Rate and Overhang under our Plan for the past three fiscal years with details of each calculation noted below the table.

	2020		2019		2018
Burn Rate(1)	10.37	%	2.20	%	6.52	%
Overhang(2)	11.57	%	9.74	%	36.98	%

____________

(1) Burn Rate is (number of shares subject to equity awards granted during a fiscal year)/(total common shares outstanding for that fiscal year).

(2) Overhang is (number of shares subject to outstanding awards at the end of a fiscal year + number of shares available for new awards under incentive plan)/(number of shares subject to outstanding awards at the end of the fiscal year + number of shares available for new awards under incentive plan + total common shares outstanding for that fiscal year).

Text of the Amendment

The proposed amendment to our Plan (Amendment No. 3) is attached hereto as Appendix A.

Summary of the Plan

The Plan authorizes us to grant equity-based and cash-based incentive compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights (or “SARs”), restricted shares, restricted share units, other share-based awards and cash-based awards, for the purpose of providing the Company’s employees, officers, consultants and non-employee directors with incentives and rewards for performance. The principal features of the Plan are summarized below; such summary does not purport to be a complete description of the Plan.

Types of Awards

The Plan authorizes the issuance of awards in the form of stock options (which may be either incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or nonqualified stock options), SARs, restricted shares, restricted share units, other share-based awards and cash-based awards.

Administration

The Plan is administered by our Compensation Committee, which, to the extent required by applicable law or stock exchange listing standards, will consist entirely of two or more individuals who are “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act and “independent directors” within the meaning of the applicable rules of any securities exchange on which the shares are listed. The Compensation Committee can make rules and regulations and establish such procedures for the administration of the Plan as it deems appropriate and may delegate any of its authority to one or more directors or executive officers of the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. However, our Board of Directors reserves the authority to administer and issue awards under the Plan.

Eligibility

The Plan provides for awards to our non-employee directors and to our officers, employees and consultants, except that incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees. It is currently anticipated that approximately ten employees and consultants and six non-employee directors will be eligible for awards under the Plan.

Shares Available

If our stockholders approve the Amendment to the Plan, the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued or transferred with respect to awards under the Plan will be 3,625,000, shares (all of which may be granted as incentive stock options), subject to adjustment as provided below. Shares issued under the Plan may include authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, shares purchased in the open market or a combination of the foregoing.

Shares underlying awards that are settled in cash or that terminate or are forfeited, cancelled or surrendered without the issuance of shares or the release of a substantial risk of forfeiture will again be available for issuance under the Plan, as will shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of a stock option, shares withheld to satisfy a tax withholding obligation with respect to any award and shares that are repurchased by us with stock option proceeds. Shares granted through awards that are granted in assumption of, or in substitution or exchange for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity acquired directly or indirectly by us or with which we directly or indirectly combines will not count against the share limit above, except as may be required by the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange or trading market.

Non-Employee Director Award Limit

The Plan provides that the aggregate grant date fair value (computed as of the date of grant in accordance with applicable financial accounting rules) of all awards granted to any non-employee director under the Plan during any single calendar year, taken together with any cash fees paid to that person during the calendar year, may not exceed $150,000.

Stock Options

Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, options to purchase shares may be granted to eligible individuals at any time and from time to time as determined by the Compensation Committee. Options may be granted as incentive stock options (all of the shares available for issuance under the Plan may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options) or as nonqualified stock options. Subject to the limits provided in the Plan, the Compensation Committee, or its delegate, determines the number of options granted to each recipient. Each option grant will be evidenced by a stock option agreement that specifies whether the options are intended to be incentive stock options or nonqualified stock options and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

The exercise price for each option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. As of the Record Date, the closing price of a share of Common Stock was $4.49.

All options granted under the Plan will expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant. The method of exercising an option granted under the Plan will be set forth in the stock option agreement for that particular option and may include payment of cash or cash equivalent, tender of previously acquired shares with a fair market value equal to the exercise price, a cashless exercise (including withholding of shares otherwise deliverable on exercise or a broker-assisted arrangement as permitted by applicable laws), a combination of the foregoing methods or any other method approved by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Compensation Committee in its discretion may grant SARs under the Plan. A SAR entitles the holder to receive from the Company, upon exercise, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate fair market value of a specified number of shares that are the subject of such SAR, over the aggregate exercise price for the underlying shares.

The exercise price for each SAR may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant.

We may make payment of the amount to which the participant exercising SARs is entitled by delivering shares, cash or a combination of stock and cash as set forth in the applicable award agreement. Each SAR will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the date and terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Restricted Shares

Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant or sell to plan participants shares that are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transferability. Except for these restrictions and any others imposed by the Compensation Committee, upon the grant of restricted shares, the recipient will have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted shares, including the right to vote the restricted shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the restricted shares. During the applicable restriction period, the recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange or otherwise encumber the restricted shares. Each restricted shares award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions, which may include restrictions based upon the achievement of performance objectives, as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Restricted Share Units

Under the Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant or sell to plan participants restricted share units, which constitute an agreement to deliver shares to the participant in the future at the end of a restriction period and subject to such other terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may specify. Restricted share units are not shares and do not entitle the recipients to the rights of a stockholder. Restricted share units granted under the Plan may or may not be subject to performance conditions. Restricted share units will be settled in cash or shares, in an amount based on the fair market value of a share on the settlement date. Each restricted share unit award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine, which may include restrictions based upon the achievement of performance objectives.

Other Share-Based Awards

The Plan also provides for grants of other share-based awards under the Plan, which may include unrestricted shares or time-based or performance-based unit awards that are settled in shares or cash. Each other share-based award will be evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the terms of the award and such additional limitations, terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee may determine.

Dividend Equivalents

Awards may provide the participant with dividend equivalents, on any of a current, deferred or contingent basis, and either in cash or in additional shares, as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the related award agreement. However, no dividend equivalents shall be granted with respect to shares underlying a stock option or SAR.

Performance Objectives

The plan provides that performance objectives may be established by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, in connection with any award granted under the Plan. Performance objectives may relate to performance of the Company or one or more of our subsidiaries, divisions, departments, units, functions, partnerships, joint ventures or minority investments, product lines or products or the performance of an individual participant, and performance objectives may be made relative to the performance of a group of companies or a special index of companies.

For example, without limiting the Compensation Committee’s discretion, performance objectives may be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more performance criteria, which may include (but shall not be limited to) the following criteria: revenues, weighted average revenue per unit, earnings from operations, operating income, earnings before or after interest and taxes, operating income before or after interest and taxes, net income, cash flow, earnings per share, debt to capital ratio, increase in market capitalization, economic value added, return on total capital, return on invested capital, return on equity, return on assets, total return to stockholders, earnings before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization or extraordinary or special items, operating income before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization or extraordinary or special items, return on investment, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment (discounted or otherwise), net cash provided by operations, cash flow in excess of cost of capital, operating margin, profit margin, contribution margin, stock price and/or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified product development, strategic partnering, research and development, market penetration, geographic business expansion goals, cost targets, customer satisfaction, gross or net additional customers, average customer life, employee satisfaction, management of employment practices and employee benefits, supervision of litigation and information technology and goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures of subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures.

Change in Control

In the event of a change in control of the Company, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may take such actions, if any, as it deems necessary or desirable with respect to any outstanding award, without the consent of any affected participant. Those actions may include, without limitation: (a) acceleration of the vesting, settlement, and/or exercisability of an award; (b) payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of an award; (c) cancellation of stock options or SARs without any payment if the fair market value per share on the date of the change in control does not exceed the exercise price per share of the applicable award; or (d) issuance of substitute awards that substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected awards.

For purposes of the Plan, a change in control generally means (except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement): (a) the acquisition of effective control of more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company (other than by means of conversion or exercise of convertible debt or equity securities of the Company); (b) the Company merges into or consolidates with any other person, or any person merges into or consolidates with the Company and, after giving effect to such transaction, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company or the successor entity of such transaction; or (c) the Company sells or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to another person and the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the acquiring entity immediately after the transaction.

Forfeiture of Awards

Awards granted under the Plan also may be subject to forfeiture or repayment to us as provided pursuant to any compensation recovery policy that we may adopt.

Adjustments

In the event of any equity restructuring, such as a stock dividend, stock split, spin off, rights offering or recapitalization through a large, nonrecurring cash dividend, the Compensation Committee will adjust the number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the Plan, the individual award limits and, with respect to outstanding awards, the number and kind of shares subject to outstanding awards and the exercise price or other price of shares subject to outstanding awards, to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. In the event of any other change in corporate capitalization, such as a merger, consolidation or liquidation, the Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, make such equitable adjustment as described in the foregoing sentence to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights. However, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, we will always round down to a whole number of shares subject to any award. Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event, the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may provide in substitution for any or all outstanding awards such alternative consideration (including cash) as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced.

Transferability

Except as the Compensation Committee otherwise determines, awards granted under the Plan will not be transferable by a participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Except as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, stock options and SARs will be exercisable during a participant’s lifetime only by him or her or, in the event of the participant’s incapacity, by his or her guardian or legal representative. Any award made under the Plan may provide that any shares issued as a result of the award will be subject to further restrictions on transfer.

Term of Plan and Amendment

Unless earlier terminated by our Board of Directors, the Plan will expire on October 25, 2026, and no further awards may be made under the Plan after that date. However, any awards granted under the Plan prior to its termination will remain outstanding thereafter in accordance with their terms.

Our Board of Directors may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan at any time, with stockholder approval to the extent required by applicable law (including applicable stock exchange rules). No such amendment or termination, however, may adversely affect in any material way any holder of outstanding awards without his or her consent, except for amendments made to cause the plan to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules, and no award may be amended or otherwise subject to any action that would be treated as a “repricing” of such award, unless such action is approved by our stockholders.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a brief summary of the general U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the Plan. This summary is based on U.S. federal tax laws and regulations in effect on the date of this Proxy Statement and does not purport to be a complete description of the U.S. federal income tax laws.

Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock options are intended to qualify for special treatment available under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. A participant who is granted an incentive stock option will not recognize ordinary income at the time of grant. A participant will not recognize ordinary income upon the exercise of an incentive stock option provided that the participant was, without a break in service, an employee of the Company or a subsidiary during the period beginning on the grant date of the option and ending on the date three months prior to the date of exercise (one year prior to the date of exercise if the participant’s employment is terminated due to permanent and total disability).

If the participant does not sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option within two years from the grant date of the incentive stock option or within one year after he or she receives the shares of Common Stock, then, upon disposition of such shares of Common Stock, any amount recognized in excess of the exercise price will be taxed to the participant as a capital gain. The participant will generally recognize a capital loss to the extent that the amount recognized is less than the exercise price.

If the foregoing holding period requirements are not met, the participant will generally recognize ordinary income at the time of the disposition of the shares of Common Stock in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price or (ii) the excess, if any, of the amount recognized upon disposition of the shares of Common Stock over the exercise price. Any amount recognized in excess of the value of the shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise will be capital gain. If the amount recognized is less than the exercise price, the participant generally will recognize a capital loss equal to the excess of the exercise price over the amount recognized upon the disposition of the shares of Common Stock.

The rules described above that generally apply to incentive stock options do not apply when calculating any alternative minimum tax liability. The rules affecting the application of the alternative minimum tax are complex, and their effect depends on individual circumstances, including whether a participant has items of adjustment other than those derived from incentive stock options.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A participant will not recognize ordinary income when a nonqualified stock option is granted. When a nonqualified stock option is exercised, a participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock that the participant purchased over the exercise price he or she paid.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant will not recognize ordinary income when a SAR is granted. When a SAR is exercised, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the cash and/or the fair market value of shares of Common Stock the participant receives.

Restricted Shares. A participant who has been granted restricted shares will not recognize ordinary income at the time of grant, assuming that the underlying shares of Common Stock are not transferable and that the restrictions create a “substantial risk of forfeiture” for federal income tax purposes and that the participant does not make an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, upon the vesting of restricted shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the then fair market value of the shares of Common Stock, less any consideration paid for such shares of Common Stock. Any gains or losses recognized by the participant upon disposition of the shares of Common Stock will be treated as capital gains or losses. However, a participant may elect, pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, to have income recognized at the date of grant of a restricted share award equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the grant date (less any amount paid for the restricted shares) and to have the applicable capital gain holding period commence as of that date.

Restricted Share Units. A participant generally will not recognize ordinary income when restricted share units are granted. Instead, a participant will recognize ordinary income when the restricted share units are settled in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock or the cash he or she receives, less any consideration paid.

Other Share-Based Awards. Generally, participants will recognize ordinary income equal to the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to other share-based awards when they receive the shares of Common Stock.

Cash-Based Awards. Generally, a participant will recognize ordinary income when a cash-based award is settled in an amount equal to the cash he or she receives.

Sale of Shares. When a participant sells shares of Common Stock that he or she has received under an award, the participant will generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale, the participant has held the shares of Common Stock for more than one year (or, in the case of a restricted share award, more than one year from the date the restricted shares vested unless the participant made an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, described above). If the participant has held the shares of Common Stock for one year or less, the gain or loss will be a short-term capital gain or loss.

Section 409A of the Tax Code. In 2004, the Internal Revenue Code was amended to add Section 409A, which created new rules for amounts deferred under nonqualified deferred compensation plans. Section 409A includes a broad definition of nonqualified deferred compensation plans which may extend to various types of awards granted under the Plan. If an award is subject to, but fails to comply with, Section 409A, the participant would generally be subject to accelerated income taxation, plus a 20% penalty tax and an interest charge. The Company intends that awards granted under the Plan will either be exempt from, or will comply with, Section 409A.

Tax Deductibility of Compensation Provided Under the Plan. When a participant recognizes ordinary compensation income as a result of an award granted under the Plan, the Company may be permitted to claim a federal income tax deduction for such compensation, subject to various limitations that may apply under applicable law.

For example, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code disallows the deduction of certain compensation in excess of $1.0 million per year payable to any of the “covered employees” of a public company. The Compensation Committee has granted stock options under the Plan that were intended to be exempt from the $1 million deduction limit of Section 162(m). However, as a result of changes to Section 162(m) pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted on December 22, 2017, compensation paid in 2018 or a later fiscal year to one of our covered employees generally will not be deductible by the Company to the extent that it exceeds $1.0 million, except as otherwise permitted by applicable transition rules.

Further, to the extent that compensation provided under the Plan may be deemed to be contingent upon a change in control of the Company, a portion of such compensation may be non-deductible by the Company under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code and may be subject to a 20% excise tax imposed on the recipient of the compensation.

Plan Benefits. Because it is within the discretion of the Compensation Committee to determine which non-employee directors, employees and consultants will receive awards and the amount and type of awards received, it is not presently possible to determine the number of individuals to whom awards will be made in the future under the Plan or the amount of the awards except that we have adopted a non-employee director compensation policy that provides that on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders each non-employee director will receive RSU’s having a value of $50,000, which grant will not be made unless this proposal is approved.

Interests of Directors and Executive Officers. Our current directors and executive officers have substantial interests in the matters set forth in this proposal since equity awards may be granted to them under the Plan.

Existing Plan Benefits

The following table sets forth information with respect to options and restricted stock units (both unvested and vested), previously granted under the Plan as of the record date.

Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission. After approval of the Amendment to the Plan by our stockholders, we intend to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-8 relating to the additional shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 2020 Annual Meeting is required to approve the Amendment to the Plan. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal and broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of shares represented and voted on this proposal in the meeting and, accordingly, will not affect the outcome of this proposal. Shares represented by properly executed proxies of record holders will be voted, if specific instructions are not otherwise given, in favor of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE AMENDMENT TO THE SG BLOCKS, INC. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER IN AN AMOUNT OF 2,500,000 SHARES, FROM 1,125,000 TO 3,625,000 SHARES.

PROPOSAL 4 — ADVISORY APPROVAL OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are providing stockholders with the opportunity to cast an advisory, non-binding vote regarding the compensation of our named executive officers. The advisory stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers is often referred to as the “say-on-pay vote.” This say-on-pay vote will not be binding on us, the Board of Directors, or the Compensation Committee. The most recent advisory vote on named executive officer compensation was held at our 2020 Annual Meeting, and our stockholders voted in favor of the compensation of our named executive officers. At the 2018 Annual Meeting, stockholders approved, by advisory vote, an annual frequency for future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. This advisory vote was accepted by our Board of Directors. Stockholders are expected to have the opportunity to vote on the frequency of future votes on named executive officer compensation, which will occur no later than the Company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This proposal allows our stockholders to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation or any single compensation philosophy, policy or practice, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers as described in this proxy statement.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers by voting “FOR” the following advisory, non-binding resolution at our Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of SG Blocks, Inc. approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

While the Board of Directors values the opinions of our stockholders, this vote is advisory and is not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. We will consider the results of the vote, along with other relevant factors, when evaluating our executive compensation practices and considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Vote Required

This proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on this matter. Abstentions will count as a vote “AGAINST” this proposal, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote. Shares represented by properly executed proxies of record holders will be voted, if specific instructions are not otherwise given, in favor of this proposal.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR”
THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS,
PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE NON-BINDING RESOLUTION.

NO DISSENTERS’ RIGHTS

The corporate actions described in this proxy statement will not afford stockholders the opportunity to dissent from the actions described herein or to receive an agreed or judicially appraised value for their shares.

OTHER MATTERS

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors of Directors of SG Blocks knows of no other matters to be presented for stockholder action at the 2021 Annual Meeting. However, other matters may properly come before the 2021 Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If any other matter is properly brought before the 2021 Annual Meeting for action by the stockholders, proxies in the enclosed form returned to SG Blocks will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors.

NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY OF STOCKHOLDER DOCUMENTS
(“HOUSEHOLDING” INFORMATION)

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports by delivering a single copy of these materials to an address shared by two or more SG Blocks stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies and intermediaries. A number of brokers and other intermediaries with account holders who are our stockholders may be householding our stockholder materials, including this proxy statement. In that event, a single proxy statement, as the case may be, will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker or other intermediary that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent, which is deemed to be given unless you inform the broker or other intermediary otherwise when you receive or received the original notice of householding. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or other intermediary to discontinue householding and direct your written request to receive a separate proxy statement to us at: SG Blocks, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201or by calling us at (646) 240-4235. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their broker or other intermediary.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING

Inclusion of Proposals in our Proxy Statement Pursuant to SEC Rules

Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. To be eligible for inclusion in our 2022 proxy statement, any such proposals must be delivered in writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices no later than March 16, 2022 and must meet the requirements of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. The submission of a stockholder proposal does not guarantee that it will be included in our proxy statement.

Stockholder Submission of Nominations

In addition, our bylaws have an advance notice procedure with regard to nominations for the election of directors to be held at an annual meeting of stockholders by any stockholder. In general, the Company will consider nominations for directors submitted by any stockholder only if such stockholder has given timely notice in proper written form of such nomination or nominations, setting forth certain specified information. To be timely, notice must be received by the Chairman of the Board of Directors no later than the 60th day nor earlier than the 75th day before the one-year anniversary of the date on which the corporation first mailed this Proxy Statement. For the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, notice must be received no later than May 17, 2022. Notices of intent to nominate candidates for election as directors or other stockholder communications should be submitted to: SG Blocks, Inc., 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any proxy granted with respect to the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will confer on the proxy holders discretionary authority to vote with respect to a stockholder proposal or director nomination if notice of such proposal or nomination is not received by our Corporate Secretary within the timeframe provided above.

Stockholder Communications

Stockholders may communicate with our Board of Directors or any individual director by sending correspondence addressed to the intended recipient at the following address: SG Blocks, Inc., 195 Montague Street, 14th Floor, Brooklyn, New York 11201. Your communications should indicate whether you are a stockholder of the Company. Depending on the subject matter, we will either forward the communication to the director or directors to whom it is addressed or attempt to handle the inquiry directly. If the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its business or is similarly inappropriate, we will not forward the communication.
