PROXY STATEMENT FOR THE 2021 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON JUNE 8, 2021

GENERAL INFORMATION

The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Harbor Custom Development, Inc. (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) to be voted at the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Meeting” or “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, and any adjournments or postponements thereof. The Annual Meeting will be completely virtual. You may attend the virtual meeting, submit questions, and vote your shares electronically during the Annual Meeting via live webcast by visiting https://agm.issuerdirect.com/hcdi. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being made available to our stockholders on or about April 29, 2021. References in this proxy statement to “the Company,” “we,” “Harbor,” “our,” and “us” are to Harbor Custom Development, Inc.

In accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are permitted to furnish proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) to stockholders by providing access to these documents through the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless requested. Instead, our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials provides instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials on the internet. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also provides instructions on how to cast your vote via the internet or by telephone. If you would like to receive a printed or email copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting the materials in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

Record Date

Holders of record of our shares of Common Stock, our only class of issued and outstanding voting securities (the “Common Stock”), at the close of business on April 14, 2021 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On April 14, 2021, 14,873,094, shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Quorum

The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Votes for and against, abstentions, and “broker non-votes” will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

The Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time and at any reconvened meeting, action with respect to the matters specified in this notice may be taken without further notice to stockholders except as required by applicable law and our charter documents.

Stockholders of Record

You are a “stockholder of record” if your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Mountain Share Transfer, Inc. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to the proxies designated by us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, we had eight holders of record.

1

Shares Held in Street Name

You are deemed to beneficially own your shares in “street name” if your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, trust, or other similar organization. If this is the case, you will receive a separate voting instruction form with this Proxy Statement from such organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to virtually attend the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee, your shares will not be voted on any proposals on which such party does not have discretionary authority to vote (a “broker non-vote”), as further described below under the heading “Broker Non-Votes.”

Please note that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank, trustee, or nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will not be permitted to vote in person unless you first obtain a proxy issued in your name from the record holder.

Broker Non-Votes

Broker non-votes are shares held in street name by brokers or nominees who are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary authority with respect to that proposal and they have not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Under the rules that govern brokers, brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accountants. The remaining proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting are considered to be non-routine matters, including the election of directors and the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. As a result, if you do not provide your broker or nominee with voting instructions on these non-routine matters, your shares will not be voted on these proposals.

Voting Matters

Stockholders are entitled to cast one vote per share of Common Stock on each matter presented for consideration by the stockholders. A list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any stockholder for a proper purpose during normal business hours at our executive offices for a period of at least ten days preceding the day of the Annual Meeting.

There are three proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

1.	To elect seven directors to hold office until the next annual meeting and until their respective successors are elected and qualified;
2.	To ratify the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and
3.	To approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the seven director nominees and FOR proposals 2 and 3 listed above.

We are currently unaware of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement. If other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration and you are a stockholder of record and have submitted your proxy, the persons named in your proxy will have the discretion to vote on those matters for you.

Required Vote

Assuming a quorum is present, either in person or by proxy, the following vote is required for the proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting:

1. Election of Directors: Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes, which means the seven nominees who receive the greatest number of FOR votes will be elected. If you hold your shares through a broker and you do not instruct the broker on how to vote on this proposal, your broker will not have authority to vote your shares. Abstentions and broker non-votes will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposal.

2

2.

Ratification of Auditors: The ratification of the appointment of Rosenberg Rich Baker Berman, P.A as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 requires that a majority of the votes cast, whether in person or represented by proxy, are voted FOR this proposal. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

3.

Executive Compensation: The approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers requires that a majority of the votes cast, whether in person or represented by proxy, are voted FOR this proposal. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” will each be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Voting Instructions

If you are a stockholder of record, you can vote in the following ways:

● By Internet: By following the internet voting instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or by following the instructions on the proxy card at any time up until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 7, 2021.

● By Telephone: By following the telephone voting instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or by following the instructions on the proxy card at any time up until 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on June 7, 2021.

● By Mail: You may vote by mail by marking, dating and signing your proxy card in accordance with the instructions on it and returning it by mail in the pre-addressed reply envelope provided with the proxy materials. The proxy card must be received prior to the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held in street name, please follow the separate voting instructions you receive from your broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee.

Proxies

All shares represented by a proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting, and where a stockholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made. If a stockholder does not indicate a choice on the proxy card, the shares will be voted in favor of the election of each of the nominees for director contained in this Proxy Statement and in favor of each of the other proposals considered at the Annual Meeting.

If your shares are held by a broker, bank, or other stockholder of record, in nominee name or otherwise, exercising fiduciary powers (typically referred to as being held in “street name”), you will receive a separate voting instruction form with your proxy materials. Your broker may vote your shares on the proposal to ratify our independent auditors, but will not be permitted to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors or on any of the other proposals unless you provide instructions as to how to vote your shares. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a broker, bank, or nominee and you wish to vote at the Annual Meeting, you will not be permitted to vote in person unless you first obtain a proxy issued in your name from the record holder.

Multiple Proxies

If you receive more than one set of proxy materials, it generally means you hold shares registered in multiple accounts. To ensure that all your shares are voted, please submit proxies or voting instructions for all of your shares.

3

Proxy Revocation Procedure

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy: (i) by written notice of revocation mailed to and received by our Secretary prior to the date of the Annual Meeting; (ii) voting again via the internet or by telephone at a later time before the closing of those voting facilities at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 7, 2021; (iii) by executing and delivering to the Secretary a proxy dated as of a later date than a previously executed and delivered proxy (provided, however, that such action must be taken prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on June 7, 2021); or (iv) by virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting via the virtual meeting platform. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy.

Solicitation Costs

We will bear the expenses of calling and holding the Annual Meeting and the solicitation of proxies therefor. This proxy statement and the accompanying materials, in addition to being mailed directly to stockholders, will be distributed through brokers, custodians, nominees, and other like parties to beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock. We will pay reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares and in obtaining the written instructions of such beneficial owners. We may consider the engagement of a proxy solicitation firm. Our directors, officers, and employees may also solicit proxies by mail, telephone, and personal contact, but they will not receive any additional compensation for these activities.

Voting Results

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will report final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K report filed with the SEC.

GOVERNANCE OF OUR COMPANY

Overview

We are committed to maintaining high standards of business conduct and corporate governance, which we believe are fundamental to the overall success of our business, serving our stockholders well, and maintaining our integrity in the marketplace. As discussed below, our Board of Directors has established three standing committees to assist it in fulfilling its responsibilities to us and our stockholders: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Director Independence

We ceased to be a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules on August 28, 2020. We are taking advantage of the phase-in transition periods specified in the Nasdaq rules. Rule 5605 of the Nasdaq Listing Rules requires a majority of a listed company’s board of directors to be comprised of independent directors within one year of listing. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation, and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent and that audit committee members also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

We use Nasdaq’s definition of “independence” to make this determination. Nasdaq provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship with which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:

● the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company;

● the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exemptions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service);

● the director is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the company as an executive officer;

● the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officer of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity;

● the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling shareholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exemptions); or

● the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit.

Under such definitions, our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and will review the independence of any new directors based on information provided by each director concerning their background, employment, and affiliations, in order to make a determination of independence. Our Board has determined that four of our seven nominated directors, Larry Swets, Dennis Wong, Wally Walker, and Karen Bryant are independent.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

During our last fiscal year, our Company was a public company beginning on August 28, 2020, and our Board held three meetings. It is the policy of our Board that all directors should attend the annual meeting of shareholders unless unavoidably prevented from doing so by unforeseen circumstances.

5

Board Leadership Structure

Sterling Griffin is our Chief Executive Officer, President, and the Chairman of the Board. Our Board believes that it is in our best interest and the best interest of our stockholders for Mr. Griffin to serve in both roles at this time given his knowledge of our business and the industry. We believe our board structure provides appropriate leadership and oversight of our business and facilitates effective functioning of both management and our Board.

Role of our Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

One of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management process. We have formed supporting committees, including the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, each of which supports the Board by addressing risks specific to its respective areas of oversight. In particular, our Audit Committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management takes to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The Audit Committee also monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, in addition to oversight of the performance of our internal audit function. Our Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs has the potential to encourage excessive risk-taking. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provides oversight with respect to corporate governance and ethical conduct and monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance guidelines, including whether such guidelines are successful in preventing illegal or improper liability-creating conduct.

Committees of our Board of Directors

We are required to have an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We intend to comply with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and applicable Nasdaq corporate governance rules within the required timeframe.

These rules require that our Audit Committee be composed of at least three members. We are taking advantage of the phase-in allowances, whereby as of the date of our Initial Public Offering, we were required to have at least one independent director on our Audit Committee; 90 days following the Initial Public Offering, a majority of the Audit Committee members must be independent directors; and the Audit Committee is required to be fully comprised of independent directors on the one year anniversary of our Initial Public Offering (August 28, 2021). After the phase-in period, the Audit Committee must be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate” as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. In addition, we are required to certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, our Audit Committee was composed of Dennis Wong, Wally Walker, and Larry Swets, all of whom were re-appointed to serve on the Audit Committee, subject to and effective upon their elections as directors at this Annual Meeting. Our Board has affirmatively determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on an Audit Committee under Rule 10A-3 and Nasdaq rules, all of whom qualify as financial experts.

We have established a written charter for our Audit Committee, in which we set forth the duties of the Audit Committee that include, among other matters, oversight responsibilities with respect to the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the external auditor’s qualifications, independence, and performance, and the performance of our internal audit function as applicable. The Audit Committee’s primary duties and responsibilities are to:

● oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements;

● identify and monitor the management of the principal risks that could impact our financial reporting;

● monitor the integrity of our financial reporting process and system of internal controls regarding financial reporting and accounting appropriateness and compliance;

● provide oversight of the qualifications, independence, and performance of our external auditors and the appointed actuary;

● provide an avenue of communication among the external auditors, the appointed actuary, management, and the Board.

● review the annual audited and quarterly financial statements with management and the external auditors.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for discussing policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including regularly reviewing our cybersecurity and other information technology risks, controls, and procedures and our plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and respond to data breaches.

Audit committee members must meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, the independence requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards, and all other applicable rules and regulations. The Board of Directors has determined that Dennis Wong, Larry Swets, and Wally Walker are “audit committee financial experts” as that term is defined in SEC regulations. Each member of the Audit Committee is independent and satisfies the applicable requirements for Audit Committee membership under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules.

A copy of the code of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website at www.harborcustomhomes.com. The inclusion of our website address does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this document.

Nasdaq’s compensation and nominating and committee phase-in requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5615(c)(3) require that our Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee be composed (i) of a majority of independent directors during the phase-in period and (ii) solely of independent directors following the phase-in period. At this time, our Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee is comprised of a majority of independent directors. As of December 31, 2020, the members of each of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are Larry Swets, Wally Walker, and Richard Schmidtke, whereby Richard Schmidtke is not an independent director. The Board of Directors has appointed Larry Swets (Chair), Wally Walker, and Richard Schmidtke to serve on the Compensation Committee, subject to and effective upon their election as directors at this Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors has further appointed Wally Walker (chair), Richard Schmidtke, and Karen Bryant to serve on the Nominating Committee, subject to and effective upon their election as directors at this Annual Meeting. After the phase-in provision, the aforementioned committees will be comprised entirely of independent directors. We have also established charters for each of our Nominating Committee and Compensation Committee.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions and agents and representatives, including consultants. A copy of the code of business conduct and ethics is available on our website at www.harborcustomhomes.com. We intend to disclose future amendments to such code, or any waivers of its requirements, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions or our directors on our website identified above. The inclusion of our website address does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this document.

Communications with the Board of Directors

The Board desires that the views of stockholders be heard by the Board, its Committees or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses be provided to stockholders on a timely basis. Stockholders wishing to formally communicate with the Board, any Board Committee, the independent directors as a group, or any individual director, may send communications directly to us at Harbor Custom Development, Inc., 11505 Burnham Drive, Suite 301, Gig Harbor, Washington 98332 Attention: Secretary. All clearly marked written communications, other than unsolicited advertising or promotional materials, are logged and copied, and forwarded to the director(s) to whom the communication is addressed. Please note that the foregoing communication procedure does not apply to (i) stockholder proposals pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14a-8 and communications made in connection with such proposals or (ii) service of process or any other notice in a legal proceeding.

2018 Equity Incentive Plan

On November 12, 2018, we adopted the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan which provides for the grant of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to our employees and the employees of any subsidiary corporation, and for the grant of non-statutory stock options to non-employees, including directors and other service providers.

Authorized shares. A total of 675,676 shares of our common stock have been reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options issued from the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

Plan administration. Our Board of Directors administers our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan.

Stock options. Stock options may be granted under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. The exercise price of options granted under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed ten years, except that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares, or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director, or consultant, he or she may exercise his or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of options.

Options Granted. As of the date of this Annual Report, pursuant to our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, we have issued 442,172 options to purchase shares of our common stock to our employees, officers, and directors.

Non-transferability of awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, the administrator will adjust the number and class of shares that may be delivered under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and/or the number, class, and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits set forth in our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

Merger or change in control. Our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, except that if a successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary does not assume or substitute an equivalent award for any outstanding award, then such award will fully vest, all restrictions on the shares subject to such award will lapse, all performance goals or other vesting criteria applicable to the shares subject to such award will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all of the shares subject to such award will become fully exercisable, if applicable, for a specified period prior to the transaction. The award will then terminate upon the expiration of the specified period of time.

18

Amendment, termination. The administrator has the authority to amend, suspend, or terminate the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan provided such action will not impair the existing rights of any participant. Our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan will automatically terminate in 2028, unless we terminate it sooner.

2020 Restricted Stock Plan

Purpose of the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan. The 2020 Restricted Stock Plan is intended to provide incentives which will attract, retain, motivate, and reward officers, directors, and key employees of us or any of our Affiliates (“Participants”), by providing them opportunities to acquire shares of our common stock.

Stock Subject to the Plan. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be subject to Awards granted under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan is 700,000 shares of common stock. If any shares of common stock are forfeited, retained by us as payment of tax withholding obligations with respect to an Award, or surrendered to us to satisfy tax withholding obligations, such shares will be added back to the shares available for Awards. The 2020 Restricted Stock Plan contains certain adjustment provisions relating to stock dividends, stock splits, and the like.

Administration of the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan. The 2020 Restricted Stock Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors. The Committee has the full power and authority to grant Awards to the persons eligible to receive such Awards and to determine the amount, type, terms, and conditions of each such Award.

Eligibility. Participants consist of such officers, directors, and key employees of us or any of our Affiliates as the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to be significantly responsible for our success and future growth and profitability and whom the Committee may designate from time to time to receive Awards under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan.

Types of Awards. Stock Awards and Performance Awards may, as determined by the Committee, in its discretion, constitute Performance-Based Awards.

Stock Awards

The Committee is authorized to grant Stock Awards and will, in its sole discretion, determine the recipients and the number of shares of common stock underlying each Stock Award. Each Stock Award will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan as determined by the Committee and as set forth in an Award agreement, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares and our right to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the Participant’s employment or membership on the Board, as applicable, within specified periods.

Performance Awards

The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Awards and will, in its sole discretion, determine the recipients and the number of shares of common stock that may be subject to each Performance Award. Each Performance Award will be subject to such terms and conditions consistent with the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan as determined by the Committee and as set forth in an Award agreement. The Committee will set performance targets at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number of Performance Awards that will be paid out to the Participants and may attach to such Performance Awards one or more restrictions. Performance targets may be based upon, without limitation, Company-wide, divisional and/or individual performance.

The Committee has the authority to adjust performance targets. The Committee also has the authority to permit a Participant to elect to defer the receipt of any Performance Award, subject to the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan.

Performance-Based Awards

Certain Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan and the compensation attributable to such Awards are intended to (i) qualify as Performance-Based Awards or (ii) be otherwise exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee determines whether Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan qualify as Performance-Based Awards. The Committee will establish in writing the performance goals, the vesting period, the performance targets, and any other terms and conditions of the Award in its sole discretion.

19

Vesting. Awards granted to Participants under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule with a minimum vesting period of two years, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

If we have a Change in Control, all unvested Awards granted under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan will become fully vested immediately upon the occurrence of the Change in Control and such vested Awards will be paid out or settled, as applicable, within 60 days upon the occurrence of the Change in Control, subject to requirements of applicable laws and regulations.

Subject to the discretion of the Committee, if a Participant’s employment or membership on the Board is terminated due to death or Disability, then all unvested and/or unearned Awards will be forfeited as of such date.

Section 409A of the Code

Awards under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan are intended either to be exempt from the rules of Section 409A of the Code or to satisfy those rules and shall be construed accordingly. However, we will not be liable to any Participant or other holder of an Award with respect to any Award-related adverse tax consequences arising under Section 409A or other provision of the Code.

Transferability. Each Award granted under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan will not be transferable otherwise than by a will or the laws of decent and distribution or as otherwise decided by the Committee.

Fair Market Value. For purposes of the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan, “Fair Market Value” means, as of any given date, the closing price of a share of common stock on Nasdaq or such other public trading market on which shares of common stock are listed or quoted on that date.

Withholding. All payments or distributions of Awards made pursuant to the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan will be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements.

Amendments. Our Board or the Committee may amend the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate it at any time. However, no amendment will be made, without approval of our shareholders to (i) increase the total number of shares which may be issued under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan; (ii) modify the requirements as to eligibility for Awards under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan; or (iii) otherwise materially amend the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan as provided in Nasdaq rules.

Term of the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan. The 2020 Restricted Stock Plan will terminate on the seventh anniversary of its Effective Date.

Current Issuance. As of the date of this Annual Report, there were 34,000 Awards issued under the 2020 Restricted Stock Plan.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Our directors play a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing the management of our Company. Ongoing developments in corporate governance and financial reporting have resulted in an increased demand for such highly qualified and productive public company directors. The many responsibilities and risks and the substantial time commitment of being a director of a public company require that we provide adequate incentives for our directors’ continued performance by paying compensation commensurate with our directors’ workload.

Our director compensation is overseen by the Compensation Committee, which makes recommendations to our Board of Directors on the appropriate structure for our non-employee director compensation program and the appropriate amount of compensation to offer to our non-employee directors. Our Board of Directors is responsible for final approval of our non-employee director compensation program and the compensation paid to our non-employee directors.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the date of this Annual Report by:

● each director;

● each named executive officer;

● all of our directors and executive officers as a group; and

● each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock.

The percentage ownership information is based on 14,873,094 shares of our common stock outstanding.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable on or before the date which is 60 days after the date of this document. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options and warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for evaluating each related party transaction and making a recommendation to the disinterested members of the Board of Directors as to whether the transaction at issue is fair, reasonable and within our policy and whether it should be ratified and approved. The Audit Committee, in making its recommendation, will consider various factors, including the benefit of the transaction to us, the terms of the transaction and whether they are at arm’s-length and in the ordinary course of our business, the direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction, the size and expected term of the transaction and other facts and circumstances that bear on the materiality of the related party transaction under applicable law and listing standards. The Audit Committee will review, at least annually, a summary of our transactions with our directors and officers and with firms that employ our directors, as well as any other related person transactions.

OTHER MATTERS

Our management is not aware of any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting other than the matters described above. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote the proxies thereon in accordance with their best judgment on such matter.

24

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2022 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholders interested in submitting a proposal for consideration at our 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must do so by sending such proposal to our Secretary at Harbor Custom Development, Inc., 11505 Burnham Dr., Suite 301, Gig Harbor, Washington 98332 telephone (253) 649-0636. Under the SEC’s proxy rules (Rule 14a-8), the deadline for submission of proposals to be included in our proxy materials for the 2022 Annual Meeting is December 30, 2021. Accordingly, in order for a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2022 Annual Meeting in accordance with the SEC’s proxy rules, any such stockholder proposal must be received by our Secretary on or before December 30, 2021, and comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as well as the applicable requirements of our Bylaws. Any stockholder proposal received after December 30, 2021 will be considered untimely, and will not be included in our proxy materials. In addition, stockholders interested in submitting a proposal outside of Rule 14a-8 must properly submit such a proposal in accordance with our Bylaws.

Our Bylaws require advance notice of business to be brought before a stockholders’ meeting, including nominations of persons for election as directors. Pursuant to our Bylaws, the date after which notice to us of a stockholder proposal submitted outside the process of Rule 14a-8 is considered timely is as follows, provided that such notice meets the information and other requirements set forth in our Bylaws. Our Bylaws provide that a stockholder seeking to have a proposal included in our proxy materials must deliver written notice to us of such proposal between February 8, 2022 and March 10, 2022, unless the date of the 2022 Annual Meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, in which case such notice must be delivered to us not later than the 90th day before the date of our 2022 Annual Meeting.

If a stockholder that has notified us of its intention to present a proposal at the 2022 Annual Meeting does not appear or send a qualified representative to present his proposal at the 2022 Annual Meeting, we need not present the proposal at our 2022 Annual Meeting .

HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL MEETING MATERIALS

We have adopted “householding,” a procedure approved by the SEC under which stockholders who share an address will receive a single copy of the Annual Meeting materials. This procedure reduces printing costs and mailing fees, while also reducing the environmental impact of the distribution of documents related to the Annual Meeting. If you reside at the same address as another Harbor Custom Development, Inc. stockholder and wish to receive a separate copy of the Annual Meeting materials, you may do so by making a written or oral request to: Attn: Secretary, Harbor Custom Development, Inc., 11505 Burnham Dr., Suite 301, Gig Harbor, Washington 98332, telephone (253) 649-0636. Upon your request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy to you. The Proxy Statement and our Annual Report are also available at https://agm.issuerdirect.com/hcdi.

Some brokers household proxy materials, delivering a single proxy statement or notice to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.

Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or notice, please notify your broker directly. Any stockholders who share the same address and currently receive multiple copies of the Annual Meeting materials who wish to receive only one copy in the future may contact their bank, broker, or other holder of record, or us at the contact information listed above, to request information about householding.

ANNUAL REPORT

Our Annual Report to Stockholders, which contains our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 will also be made available (without exhibits), free of charge, to interested stockholders upon written request to Harbor Custom Development, Inc., 11505 Burnham Dr., Suite 301, Gig Harbor, Washington 98332, Attention: Secretary.
