At the Annual Meeting, the Participants (as hereinafter defined) will seek to elect to the Board of Directors of Tandy Brands (the “Board”) – Nicholas Levis and Evan Kagan. (each a “Nominee”, and collectively, the “Nominees”), each of whom has consented to being named as a Nominee in this Proxy Statement and to serve as a director of Tandy Brands, if elected.

NICHOLAS S. LEVIS AND EVAN KAGAN URGE STOCKHOLDERS TO VOTE FOR EACH OF THEM AS DIRECTORS BY VOTING THE GOLD PROXY CARD.

The Nominees and each of the other Participants have no interest in Tandy Brands other than through the beneficial ownership (if any) of shares of Common Stock of Tandy Brands (the “Shares”)  as disclosed herein and in the Annexes hereto.

 
 

 

According to information provided in the preliminary proxy statement of Tandy Brands (the “Tandy Proxy Statement”) filed on Schedule 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2008, the election of the Nominees requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of Tandy Brands Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present in person or represented by proxy. As a result, your vote is extremely important. We urge you to mark, sign, date, and return the enclosed GOLD proxy card to vote FOR the election of each Nominee.

WE URGE YOU NOT TO SIGN ANY WHITE PROXY CARD SENT TO YOU BY TANDY BRANDS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONE SO, YOU MAY REVOKE YOUR PROXY BY DELIVERING A LATER-DATED GOLD PROXY CARD IN THE ENCLOSED POSTAGE-PREPAID ENVELOPE, OR BY VOTING IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
According to the Tandy Proxy Statement, Tandy Brands is soliciting proxies with respect to one proposal other than the election of directors.  Please refer to the Tandy Proxy Statement for a detailed discussion of this proposal.  The proposal is outlined below.  IF YOU HAVE SIGNED THE GOLD PROXY CARD AND NO MARKING IS MADE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GIVEN A DIRECTION TO VOTE ALL OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY YOUR GOLD PROXY CARD FOR THE ELECTION OF NICHOLAS S. LEVIS AND EVAN KAGAN FOR PROPOSAL 2 BELOW.

PROPOSAL 2:  RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
At the Annual Meeting, the Stockholders will be asked to vote to ratify the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as Tandy Brands independent registered public accounting firm.  Tandy Brands Board of Directors recommended a vote for this proposal.  The Participants intend to vote, and recommend that you vote, for this proposal.

VOTING PROCEDURES
According to the Tandy Brands Proxy Statement, holders of shares of Tandy’s Common Stock, at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. According to the Tandy Brands Proxy Statement, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of  Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Plurality means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the meeting. Consequently, any shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) have no impact in the election of directors. A quorum is a majority of the Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The Common Stock represented by a proxy marked “withhold” or “abstain” will be considered present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum.

As explained in the detailed instructions on your GOLD proxy card, there are four ways you may vote.  You may:

1. Sign, date and return the enclosed GOLD proxy card in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.  We recommend that you vote on the GOLD proxy card even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting;

2. Vote via the Internet by following the voting instructions on the GOLD proxy card or the voting instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record. If you submit your vote by Internet, you may incur costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies;

 
 

 

3. Vote by telephone by following the voting instructions on the GOLD proxy card or the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other holder of record; or

4. Vote in person by attending the Annual Meeting. Written ballots will be distributed to Stockholders who wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other custodian, you must obtain a legal proxy from such custodian in order to vote in person at the meeting. To submit a proxy with voting instructions by telephone please call the toll-free telephone number listed on the GOLD proxy card. Proxies may also be submitted over the Internet. Please refer to the GOLD proxy card for the website information. In each case Stockholders will be required to provide the unique control number which has been printed on each Stockholder's GOLD proxy card. In addition to the instructions that appear on the GOLD proxy card, step-by-step instructions will be provided by a recorded telephone message for those Stockholders submitting proxies by telephone,  or at the designated website for those Stockholders submitting proxies over the Internet. Stockholders submitting their proxies with voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet will receive confirmation on the telephone that their vote by telephone was successfully submitted, and may provide an email address for confirmation that their vote by Internet was successfully submitted. Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to vote the enclosed GOLD proxy and return it in the enclosed self-addressed, prepaid envelope. All valid proxies received prior to the meeting will be voted. If you specify a choice with respect to any item by marking the appropriate box on the proxy, the Shares will be voted in accordance with that specification.

• instructing NSL Capital by telephone or via the Internet as to how you would like your shares voted (instructions are on your GOLD proxy card);

• attending the Annual Meeting and withdrawing his or her proxy by voting in person (Although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy); or

• delivering written notice of revocation either to NSL Capital, c/o Okapi Partners LLC, 330 Madison Avenue, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10017 or to the Corporate Secretary of Tandy Brands.  Although a revocation is effective if delivered to Tandy Brands, NSL Capital request: that either the original or a copy of any revocation be mailed to NSL Capital c/o Okapi Partners LLC 330 Madison Avenue, 9th Floor New York, NY 10017 revocations.
