PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON DECEMBER 8, 2020

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE SOLICITATION

This Proxy Statement is furnished to the holders of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held on December 8, 2020, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”), pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Proxies in the enclosed form, if properly executed and returned in time, will be voted at the Meeting. Any stockholder giving a proxy may revoke it prior to its exercise by attending the Meeting and reclaiming the proxy, by executing a later dated proxy or by submitting a written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s office or at the Meeting. Stockholders attending the Meeting may vote their shares in person. This Proxy Statement and the form of proxy will first be mailed to the stockholders on or about November 4, 2020. A copy of the 2020 Annual Report of the Company, including financial statements, is being mailed herewith.

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on October 30, 2020 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting. The outstanding voting securities of the Company on the Record Date consisted of 18,347,351 shares of Common Stock. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock authorized to vote will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

On all matters requiring a vote by holders of the Common Stock, each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record to one vote.

The affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Item 2 must be approved by a majority of votes cast on the matter by the holders of the shares present at the Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to Item 2 will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Abstentions will have no effect on the vote for Item 2.

1 

If you are a record holder of shares and do not specify on your proxy card how you want to vote your shares, we will vote them “FOR” the election of all nominees for director as set forth under “Election of Nominees for Directors” below, and “FOR” the ratification of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for fiscal 2021.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares and your bank or brokerage firm does not receive instructions from you about how your shares are to be voted, one of two things can happen, depending on the type of proposal. Under stock exchange rules, brokers have discretionary power to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters, but they do not have discretionary power to vote your shares on “non-routine” matters. Uninstructed brokers have discretionary voting power as to ratification of Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP as our independent registered public accountants (Item 2), which is considered a routine matter. Uninstructed brokers do not have discretionary voting power as to election of the two nominees for director (Item 1), which is considered a non-routine matter. A bank or brokerage firm may not vote your shares with respect to the non-routine matters if you have not provided instructions. This is called a “broker non-vote.”

THEREFORE, THE COMPANY URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE

AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED PROXY CARD.

During the past five years, none of the directors or nominees has been a director of any company (other than the Company) which is subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or which is a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Independence of Directors

The Board currently consists of seven directors, four of whom the Board has affirmatively determined have no relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and are independent as defined by the applicable NASDAQ Listing Standards. The four independent directors are Paul Stephen Beeber, Rick Lazio, Robert A. Ungar and Andrew J. Wilder.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a policy as to whether or not the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board should be separate. The Board believes that it should be free to make a choice on the leadership structure of the Board from time to time in any manner that is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Currently, and since 1998, Mr. Soloway has served as the Chairman of the Board, CEO and President.

The Board of Directors has not elected a Lead Independent Director.

Board Oversight of Risk

The Company faces a variety of risks including strategic and operational risks, financial and liquidity risks, compliance risks and financial reporting risks. The Board exercises its oversight of the Company’s risks through regular reports to the Board from the Chief Executive Officer, and other members of management on areas of material risk, actions and strategies to mitigate those risks and the effectiveness of those actions and strategies.

6 

In addition, the Board oversees risk through oversight by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee discusses with management the Company’s policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including the Company’s financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control its risks.

Board Structure and Committee Composition

The Board maintains three standing committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating. Each Committee is composed entirely of independent directors as defined in the applicable NASDAQ Listing Standards.

During fiscal 2020, the Board held nine meetings. Each director attended at least 75% of all Board meetings and meetings of committees of which such director was a member.

Directors are expected to attend the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders. Only Messrs. Soloway and Buchel attended the last annual meeting of stockholders on May 21, 2020 in person; the other directors were available by phone.

NAPCO maintains an “Investors” section on its website, www.napcosecurity.com, setting forth the Company’s committee charters for the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended. The Audit Committee is responsible for retaining, evaluating and, if appropriate, recommending the termination of the Company’s independent auditors. The Audit Committee assists the Board in oversight of (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (2) the Company’s independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, and (3) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditors. In addition, the Committee renders its report for inclusion in the Company’s annual proxy statement.

The Audit Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from outside legal, accounting or other advisors as the Audit Committee deems necessary to carry out its duties. The Audit Committee held seven meetings in fiscal year 2020. The current members of the Audit Committee are Andrew J. Wilder (Chairman), Paul Stephen Beeber and Robert A. Ungar, each of whom meets the NASDAQ Listing Standards for the independence of audit committee members. The Board has determined that Andrew Wilder is an audit committee financial expert.

The report of the Audit Committee is included in this proxy statement on page 11.

7 

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to compensation of the Company’s executive officers. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the other named executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations on our executive compensation program and the compensation of our named executive officers. In addition, the Committee determines individuals to be granted options under the 2012 Employee Stock Option Plan, the number of options awarded and the term of the options and interprets provisions of such plan.

The current members of the Compensation Committee are Paul Beeber (Chairman), Andrew J. Wilder, and Rick Lazio, each of whom meets the NASDAQ Listing Standards for independence for Compensation Committee members

The Compensation Committee held three meetings in Fiscal Year 2020.

The Chief Executive Officer typically attends meetings of the Committee. The Committee’s process includes executive sessions where the Committee meets without the presence of the Chief Executive Officer. Neither the Committee nor the Company has engaged a compensation consultant.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During Fiscal Year 2020, Messrs. Blaustein, Wilder and, as of August 29, 2019, Beeber served as members of our Compensation Committee. No member of the Compensation Committee was an employee or officer of the Company during Fiscal Year 2020, a former officer of the Company, or had any other relationship with us requiring disclosure herein.

During the last fiscal year, none of our executive officers served as a member of the Board of Directors or committee thereof of any other entity.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee reviews and makes recommendation to the Board regarding potential candidates for nomination as director.

The Nominating Committee held two meetings in fiscal year 2020. The current members of the Nominating Committee are Robert Ungar (Chairman), Andrew J. Wilder and Rick Lazio.

8 

Director Nomination Process

In connection with the director selection and nomination process, the Nominating Committee reviews the composition of the Board as a whole and considers the experience, mix of skills and other qualities necessary to assure appropriate Board composition, taking into account the current Board members and specific needs of the Company and the Board. The Nominating Committee considers the requirement that at least a majority of the Board members be independent as required by applicable laws and regulations and also considers any specific expertise necessary for members of Board committees.

The Nominating Committee has adopted a process as follows. It will consider candidates for director nominees proposed by directors, the Chief Executive Officer and stockholders. Potential candidates will be screened and interviewed by the Nominating Committee. All members of the Board may interview the final candidates. The same identifying and evaluating procedures will apply to all candidates for director nomination, including candidates submitted by stockholders.

The Company’s general criteria for the nomination of director candidates, include the following:

- the candidates’ personal and professional ethics, integrity and values,

- mature judgment,

- management, accounting or finance, industry and technical knowledge,

- demonstrated skills in his/her area of present or past professional or business responsibility,

- an ability to work effectively with others,

- sufficient time to devote to the affairs of the Company and

- freedom from conflicts of interest.

The Nominating Committee and the Board seek to identify nominees for election to the Board who, taken together, create a Board with the collective knowledge and experience, derived from the skills and experience of its individual members in a variety of areas that are important to the Company, including industry knowledge and experience, executive management, finance and strategic planning. The information as to each director set forth above on pages 4-6 includes a description of the experience, qualification, attributes or skills that were considered by the Nominating Committee and Board to determine that the individual nominee should serve as a director of the Company.

The Nominating Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees.

Stockholder Nominees

The Nominating Committee will consider nominations submitted by stockholders. Any stockholder nominations proposed for consideration by the Nominating Committee should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for Board membership and should be addressed to:

Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The Company has an employment agreement with each of Richard L. Soloway and Michael Carrieri. The agreement with Mr. Soloway, entered into on June 26, 2003, is for a five-year period, and then year to year unless notice of termination is given at least six months prior to the end of the then applicable term. The Agreement provides for a minimum annual salary to be adjusted for inflation and discretionary annual incentive compensation. Mr. Soloway’s agreement contains non-compete restrictions during his employment and for one year after termination for any reason. The agreement also provides for termination payments to Mr. Soloway upon death, disability, termination by the Company other than for Cause, as defined, termination by Mr. Soloway for Good Reason, as defined, and termination by Mr. Soloway within twelve months of a change in control. In the event of death, the termination payment equals one year’s salary payable over one year plus a bonus calculated on a pro rata basis through the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding death. In the event of disability, the Company must pay Mr. Soloway an amount equal to 60% of his annual salary through the term of the agreement plus his bonus on a pro rata basis through the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the sixth month of his disability. In the event the Company terminates Mr. Soloway other than for Cause or if Mr. Soloway terminates for Good Reason, the Company must pay Mr. Soloway, in a lump sum, an amount equal to three times his annual salary plus the bonus paid to him for the year prior to his termination. If during the term there should be a change in control, then Mr. Soloway is entitled to terminate his employment, and the Company is required to pay him, an amount equal to 299% of the average of the prior five calendar years’ total compensation, subject to certain limitations. The Company’s option plans provide for the accelerated vesting of unvested options upon a change in control.

Under such agreement, had Mr. Soloway’s employment terminated on June 30, 2020 on account of (i) death, (ii) disability or (iii) by the Company other than for Cause, or by Mr. Soloway for Good Reason, the Company would have been required to pay him $989,545, $474,027 and $2,968,634, respectively.

Had Mr. Soloway’s employment terminated on June 30, 2020 after a change of control, the Company would have been required to pay him $3,130,752 pursuant to his employment agreement. In addition, assuming a change of control on June 30, 2020, vesting of options to purchase 13,200 shares of Common Stock of the Company would have been accelerated. The value of such accelerated options would have been $62,234 based upon the closing price per share of $23.39 of the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on June 30, 2020.

Mr. Carrieri’s agreement, as amended, terminates in August 2022 and provides for an annual salary of $333,798. Mr. Carrieri’s agreement, as amended, provides for payment equal to nine months of salary and six months of health insurance in the event of a non-voluntary termination of employment without cause or for any reason within three months of a change in control of the Company. Had either of such events occurred on June 30, 2020, the Company would have been required to pay him $263,841.

In addition, the Company has a severance agreement with Kevin S. Buchel providing for payments equal to nine months of salary and six months of health insurance in the event of a non-voluntary termination of employment without cause or for any reason upon a change of control of the Company. Had Mr. Buchel’s employment been terminated on June 30, 2020 non-voluntarily without cause, the Company would have been required to pay him $342,776 pursuant to such severance agreement.

In the event of a change in control on June 30, 2020, vesting of options to purchase 15,600 and 7,600 shares of Common Stock of the Company would have accelerated for Messrs. Buchel and Carrieri, respectively.  The value of such accelerated options would have been $50,480 and $50,160 for Messrs. Buchel and Carrieri, respectively, based on a closing price of $23.39 per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on June 30, 2020.

Each of the agreements with Mr. Carrieri and Mr. Buchel contains non-compete restrictions for three years after the employee’s termination of employment.

Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation and on Frequency of Future Votes on Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enacted in 2010 and Section 14A of the Securities and Exchange Commission Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) require that the Company provide its stockholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of its named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

At the Annual Meeting held on May 21, 2020, stockholders of the Company voted to conduct future advisory votes on executive compensation pursuant to The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 every three years. Stockholders will have an opportunity to next vote to approve on a non-binding advisory basis the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and to vote on a non-binding advisory basis on the frequency of future votes on executive compensation at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Item 2. Proposal to Ratify the Selection of Independent Registered Public Accountants

Baker Tilly served as the Company’s independent registered public accountants since fiscal 2013. Subject to ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, it has been selected to serve as our independent registered public accountants for fiscal 2021. Baker Tilly’s predecessor, Holtz Rubenstein Reminick LLP (“HRR”), audited our financial statements from fiscal 2009 to fiscal 2012. A representative of Baker Tilly will be present at the annual meeting, with an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

If the selection of Baker Tilly is not ratified, or if before the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders it declines to act or otherwise becomes incapable of acting, or if its engagement is otherwise discontinued by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee will appoint other independent registered accountants whose engagement for any period after the next Annual Meeting will be subject to stockholder approval at that meeting.

⁽²⁾ Includes services related to the audit of the Company’s employee benefit plan for the plan years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee specifically pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval may be provided for up to one year. Each pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.
