Dear Shareholder:

I am pleased to invite you to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of ENGlobal Corporation (“ENGlobal”). The meeting will be held at our headquarters located at 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060, on Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 10:00 a.m., local time, to:

GENERAL INFORMATION

We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ENGlobal Corporation (“ENGlobal”) for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”) and for any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting. In this proxy statement, we refer to ENGlobal as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us.”

We are making these proxy materials available to you on the Internet. On or about May 6, 2016, we will mail a notice to our shareholders containing instructions on how to access the proxy materials at http://www.proxyvote.com and vote online. In addition, shareholders may request proxy materials to be sent to them by mail or email.

Who is soliciting my proxy?

We are making these proxy materials available to you in connection with our solicitation of proxies for use at the Meeting. Specified directors, officers, and employees of ENGlobal may also solicit proxies on our behalf, without additional compensation, by mail, telephone, fax, or in person.

Who is paying for this solicitation?

ENGlobal will pay for the solicitation of proxies, including the cost of preparing and assembling these proxy materials, making these proxy materials available on the Internet, mailing notices to our shareholders, and mailing these proxy materials to our shareholders upon request. We have retained and paid a fee to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. to assist us in making our proxy materials available on the Internet and tabulating our proxies, but we pay no separate compensation solely for the solicitation of proxies.

What is the purpose of the Meeting?

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to (1) elect directors, (2) ratify the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP for fiscal year 2016; and (3) conduct a non-binding “say-on-pay” advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on April 18, 2016, the record date for the Meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. If you were a shareholder of record on that date, you are entitled to vote all of the shares you held on that date at the Meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting.

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are the holder of record of these shares, and we will send the notice and online access and voting instructions directly to you. If you hold your shares in a brokerage account or through a bank or other holder of record, you hold the shares in “street name,” and your broker, bank or other holder of record will send voting instructions to you.

How many votes do I have?

You have one vote at the Meeting, or any postponements or adjournments of the Meeting, for each share of our common stock you owned as of the record date. Shareholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

 1

How do I vote?

You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet at http://www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions provided in the notice mailed to you or by voting in person at the Meeting. You may also submit a proxy or voting instructions by telephone by following the instructions found on the Internet website, http://www.proxyvote.com. If you request proxy materials by mail or email, you may submit a proxy or voting instructions by any of the above methods or by completing and mailing a proxy card.

If you hold your shares in street name, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record how to vote by following the instructions sent to you by the holder of record. If you desire to vote in person at the Meeting, as a holder in street name, you must provide a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other holder of record.

May I revoke my proxy or change my voting instructions?

Yes, you may revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions by (a) voting in person at the Meeting, (b) casting a vote over the Internet or by telephone at a later date or (c) sending a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary by mail to ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060-5914 or by facsimile at (281) 878-1010; provided, that, with regard to (b) and (c), the Company receives such change prior to the Meeting. If you request proxy materials by mail or email, you may also change your proxy by mailing a proxy card with a later date, provided that the Company receives the later dated proxy card prior to the Meeting. If you submit a new proxy, only your later dated proxy (whether cast by Internet, telephone, mail or in person) will be counted.

What are the Board’s recommendations?

The Board’s recommendations are set forth together with the description of each item in this proxy statement. The Board recommends a vote FOR the election of five directors to our Board to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders, FOR the ratification of the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP as the independent auditors of ENGlobal for fiscal year 2016, and FOR the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

If any other matter properly comes before the Meeting, with regard to any proxies submitted by shareholders, William A. Coskey, P.E. and Mark A. Hess, the persons appointed on the proxy card, will vote as recommended by the Board or, if no recommendation is given, in their own discretion.

How many votes must be present to hold the Meeting?

We will have a quorum, and will be able to conduct the business of the Meeting, if the holders of a majority of shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote are represented in person or by proxy at the Meeting. As of the record date, 27,878,269 shares of our common stock, representing the same number of votes, were outstanding. Thus, the presence in person or by proxy of the record holders of at least 13,939,135 shares of our common stock will be required to establish a quorum. Shareholders of record who are present at the Meeting in person or by proxy and who abstain from voting, including brokers holding customers’ shares of record who cause abstentions to be recorded at the Meeting, will be included in the number of shareholders present at the Meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.

What vote is required to approve each item?

The election of directors is decided by a plurality of the votes cast. For this purpose, “plurality” means that the individuals receiving the largest number of affirmative votes, whether or not they receive a majority of the votes, are elected as directors, up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen at the election. A properly executed proxy marked “WITHHOLD AUTHORITY” with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with regard to the director or directors indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum.

 2

With regard to each other item voted on at the Meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on the item will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.

For shares held in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, the broker or nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some of the matters to be acted upon. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares that are held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. The election of directors and the “say on pay” advisory non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers are not considered routine matters. Thus, if shareholders do not give their broker or nominee specific instructions, their shares may not be voted on those matters and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for approval. Shares represented by such “broker non-votes” will, however, be counted in determining whether there is a quorum.

What if I do not mark a voting choice for some of the matters listed on my proxy card?

If you request proxy materials by mail or email and send a proxy card without specifying a vote or an abstention, your shares will be voted “FOR”: (1) the director nominees listed on the proxy card and in this proxy statement, (2) the ratification of the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP as the independent auditors of ENGlobal for fiscal year 2016, and (3) the “say-on-pay” advisory non-binding vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Could other matters be decided at the Meeting?

We do not know of any matters that will be considered at the Meeting other than the items set forth in this proxy statement. If other matters are properly raised at the Meeting, your proxy authorizes the proxy holders to vote as they think best, unless authority to do so is withheld by you in your proxy.

What happens if the Meeting is postponed or adjourned?

Pursuant to Nevada law, the Meeting may be adjourned by the chairman of the Meeting to reconvene at the same or some other place. If the adjournment is for more than 60 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjournment shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the Meeting. If the adjournment is for less than 60 days, no additional notice will be delivered.

Who will count the votes?

We will appoint an inspector of the election who will count the votes at the Meeting.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

Your shares are probably registered in more than one account. You should vote each proxy card you receive. We encourage you to consolidate all your accounts by registering them in the same name, social security number and address. This can be accomplished by contacting your stockbroker. Additionally, our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., can assist you if you want to consolidate multiple accounts registered in your name by contacting our transfer agent at P.O. Box 30170, College Station, TX 77842-3170, telephone: (781) 575-4238.

How do I get copies of the exhibits filed with ENGlobal’s Form 10-K?

We are furnishing our annual report to our shareholders over the Internet. You may read, print and download our annual report at http://www.proxyvote.com. You may request the annual report be sent to you by mail or email by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability to be mailed to you on or about May 6, 2016. ENGlobal will provide to any shareholder as of the record date, who so specifically requests in writing, copies of the exhibits filed with ENGlobal’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reasonable fee. Requests for such copies should be directed to Corporate Secretary, ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060-5914. The Annual Report on Form 10-K may also be read, downloaded and printed at www.englobal.com. In addition, copies of all exhibits filed electronically by ENGlobal may be reviewed and printed from the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at: www.sec.gov.

Where can I find the voting results of the Meeting?

The preliminary voting results will be announced at the Meeting. The final results will be published in a current report on Form 8-K to be filed within four business days after the Meeting.

Who can help answer my questions?

If you have any questions or if you need additional copies of this proxy statement or the enclosed proxy card, you should contact Tami L. Walker, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, at 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, Texas 77060-5914, telephone 281-878-1000.

SMALLER REPORTING COMPANY

The SEC has adopted rules allowing smaller reporting companies to tailor their disclosure to reduce costs. Because the Company qualifies as a “smaller reporting company” under the SEC rules, the Company has elected to prepare this proxy statement and other annual and periodic reports as a “Smaller Reporting Company” consistent with rules of the SEC. Under the scaled disclosure obligations, the Company is not required to provide, among other things, Compensation Discussion and Analysis and certain other tabular and narrative disclosures relating to executive compensation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD MATTERS

Board Size; Meetings of the Board

Our Board currently has four members. During 2015, the Board met six times and each director attended at least 75% of the meetings. Our three independent directors serve on three Board committees: Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Corporate Governance.

Executive Sessions

In 2015, the Board held five executive sessions of its non-employee directors, David W. Gent, P.E., Randall B. Hale, and David C. Roussel. Any non-employee director can request that an executive session be scheduled.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company is committed to strong, independent board leadership and governance, including the flexibility to select and revise its leadership structure on the basis of the best interests of the Company and its shareholders at any given point in time. The Board evaluates this structure in connection with the annual appointments to the positions of Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”) and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). We do not have a written policy with respect to separation of the roles of Chairman and CEO; however, the Board believes that it is currently in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to combine the Chairman and CEO roles and to appoint a Lead Independent Director annually. In this way, the Company’s shareholders have the benefit of Board leadership by Mr. Coskey, an executive with extensive day-to-day knowledge of the Company’s operations, strategic plan execution and future needs, as well as a Lead Independent Director who provides Board member leadership.

 4

Lead Independent Director

Mr. David W. Gent has served as the Company’s lead independent director since 2002, and was re-elected by the Board to this role in 2016. The Lead Independent Director position responsibilities currently include chairmanship of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee; Chair of the Board meetings at which the Chairman is not in attendance; liaison between the Chairman and the independent directors, which includes facilitating communications and assisting in the resolution of conflicts, if any, between the independent directors and the Company’s management; providing counsel to the Chairman and CEO, including provision of appropriate feedback regarding effectiveness of Board meetings, and otherwise as needed or requested; and such other responsibilities as the Board delegates. In performing these responsibilities, the Lead Independent Director is expected to consult with the chairpersons of other Board committees as appropriate and solicit their participation in order to avoid the appearance of diluting the authority or responsibility of the Board committees and their chairpersons.

Board and Committees’ Role in Risk Oversight

The Board is responsible for oversight of us and our business, including risk management. Together with the Board’s standing committees, the Board is responsible for ensuring that material risks are identified and managed appropriately. The Board and its committees regularly review material strategic, operational, financial, compensation and compliance risks with our senior management. The Audit Committee of the Board has oversight responsibility for financial risk (such as accounting, finance, internal controls and tax strategy), and also oversees compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Compensation Committee and the Board each discuss the relationship between our compensation policies and corporate risk to assess whether these policies encourage excessive risk-taking by executives and other employees. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee of the Board oversees compliance with our corporate governance principles. During its regular course of its activities, our Audit Committee discusses our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. Each of the committees report to the Board regarding the areas of risk they oversee.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that no non-employee director or director nominee has a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that all directors and director nominees, except Mr. Coskey, meet the criteria for independence under NASDAQ rules. The Board has also determined that the members of each of its committees, including the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, meet the criteria for membership applicable to each committee under the NASDAQ listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board at our annual meeting of shareholders, we encourage directors to attend. With the exception of Mr. Hale, all of our directors attended the 2015 annual meeting and we expect all directors standing for reelection will attend the 2016 annual meeting.

 5

Committees of the Board of Directors

Committee Composition and Meetings

Each of our directors attended at least 75% of the total meetings held by all Board committees on which they served in 2015.

Committee	Members	Number of Meetings
Audit Committee	Randall B. Hale (Chairperson) David W. Gent David C. Roussel	5 6 6
Compensation Committee	David C. Roussel (Chairperson) David W. Gent Randall B. Hale	5 5 4
Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee	David W. Gent (Chairperson) Randall B. Hale David C. Roussel	4 3 4

Summary of Committee Responsibilities

All of our committee charters are available under the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.englobal.com. The charters are reviewed annually.

Audit Committee

The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to oversee:

• the quality and integrity of our financial statements;
• our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; and
• our independent auditors’ qualifications, independence and performance.

In addition, the Audit Committee annually reviews our disclosures regarding deficiencies, if any, in the design or operation of our internal controls.

The Board has determined that Mr. Hale is qualified as an audit committee financial expert under the SEC’s rules and regulations. In addition, the Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee has the requisite accounting and related financial management expertise under NASDAQ rules.

Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee

The duties and responsibilities of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee are to:

• assist the Board by identifying individuals qualified to become Board members and recommend to the Board director nominees for election at the annual meetings of shareholders or for appointments to fill vacancies;

 6

• recommend to the Board director nominees for each Board committee and advise the Board on the appropriate composition of the Board and its committees;
• make an annual report to the Board on succession planning;
• advise the Board about and recommend to the Board appropriate corporate governance practices and assist the Board in implementing those practices; and
• implement the annual performance review process for the Board and its committees.

In addition, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee reviews all relationships each director has with us in connection with the nomination process and reports the results of its review to the Board with appropriate recommendations, if any, for approval.

Compensation Committee

The duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to:

• review the Corporation’s evaluation process, compensation, incentive compensation and equity-based plans and recommend changes in such plans to the Board as needed;
• produce a report, if required, for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for the annual meeting of shareholders;
• evaluate the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and other executives;

• encourage stock ownership by directors and executives, including through the use of equity compensation programs; and
• review director compensation levels and practices, and recommend, from time to time, changes in such compensation levels and practices to the Board
• approve and review reports of any compensation consultants hired by the Company.

The Company did not utilize compensation consultants in 2015.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s directors, officers and employees in accordance with NASDAQ rules. The purpose and role of this code is to focus our officers, directors, and employees on areas of ethical risk, provide guidance to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues, provide mechanisms to report unethical or unlawful conduct, and help enhance and formalize our culture of integrity, honesty and accountability. We have posted this Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.englobal.com.

The Company also has a Code of Ethics applicable to the Chief Executive Officer and certain senior financial officers of the Company that complies with Item 406 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and with applicable NASDAQ rules. We have posted this Code of Ethics on the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.englobal.com.

Director Nominations

Consideration of Director Nominees

Shareholder Nominees

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will carefully consider all qualified director candidates, whether such candidates are recommended by a shareholder or otherwise. Other than the provisions contained in our bylaws set forth below, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee has not established formal procedures to be followed by shareholders submitting recommendations for candidates for the Board. Our bylaws provide that nominations for the election of directors may be made upon timely notice given by any shareholder of record entitled to vote for the election of directors. A timely notice must be made in writing, contain the information required by our bylaws and be received by the Secretary of the Company at the principal executive offices of the Company, not later than the close of business on the 90^th calendar day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120^th calendar day, immediately before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. However, in the event that the date of the upcoming annual meeting is advanced more than 30 calendar days before, or delayed more than 70 calendar days after, such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be delivered not later than the close of business on 10^th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of a meeting date is first made by the Company.

B-29 Family Holdings, LLC, a beneficial owner of 5% or more of our Common Stock as of May 27, 2015, nominated Kevin M. Palma, the Chief Financial Officer of B-29 Family Holdings, as a candidate for election to our Board. After review and evaluation, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee has recommended the nomination of Mr. Palma to the Board of Directors.

Director Qualifications

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee establishes criteria for selecting new members of the Board. The Board as a whole should reflect a range of skills, knowledge and experience in areas of importance to the Company. Directors must be committed to upholding the highest standards of personal and professional integrity and to representing the interests of all shareholders, not particular shareholder constituencies. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee places no specific restrictions on the number of terms directors may serve or other Boards on which a director may sit, but directors must possess sufficient time and energy to carry out their duties effectively. A majority of directors must be “independent” under the NASDAQ rules, and members of the Company’s audit committee must meet NASDAQ financial literacy and sophistication requirements. In determining whether a director is independent, the Board will broadly consider all relevant facts and circumstances.

Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors

The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating nominees for director. The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due to retirement or otherwise. If vacancies are anticipated, or otherwise arise, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will consider various potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the attention of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee through current Board members, shareholders or other persons. These candidates will be evaluated at regular or special meetings of the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee, and may be considered at any point during the year. As described above, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee will consider properly submitted shareholder nominations for candidates for the Board based on the same criteria. Although not part of any formal policy, our goal is a balanced and diverse Board, with members whose skills, backgrounds and experiences are complimentary and, together, cover the spectrum of areas that impact our business. As part of this evaluation and to further our commitment to diversity, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee assesses whether the nominees, as a group, collectively represent a diversity of views, backgrounds, and experiences that will enhance the Board’s and our effectiveness.

 8

Communications with the Board

Shareholders may communicate with the Board, Board committees, non-employee directors as a group, and individual directors by submitting their communications in writing to ENGlobal Corporation, 654 N. Sam Houston Parkway E., Suite 400, Houston, TX 77060-5914, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Any communication must contain:

· a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of our capital stock;

· the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the shareholder sending the communication; and

· the number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such shareholder.

ENGlobal’s Corporate Secretary will distribute such communications to the intended recipient upon receipt, unless the communication is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate, in which case the Corporate Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or to take appropriate legal action regarding the communication.

PROPOSAL TWO:

THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF HEIN & ASSOCIATES LLP

AS THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM OF

ENGLOBAL FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016

The Audit Committee has appointed Hein & Associates LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to examine the consolidated financial statements of ENGlobal for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and to perform other appropriate audit and advisory services and is requesting ratification of such appointment by the shareholders.

In the event that the shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP, the adverse vote will be considered as a direction to the Audit Committee to select another independent registered public accounting firm for the next fiscal year. However, because of the difficulty and expense of making any substitution of independent registered public accounting firms after the beginning of the current fiscal year, it is contemplated that the appointment for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, will be permitted to stand, unless the Audit Committee finds other reasons for making a change. It is understood that even if the selection of Hein & Associates LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee feels that such a change would be in the best interests of ENGlobal and its shareholders.

Representatives of Hein & Associates LLP will be present at the Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Vote Required

The ratification of the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP for the year ending December 31, 2016, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote. For the ratification of our independent registered public accountants, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or abstain from voting. If you hold your shares in your own name and abstain from voting on this matter, your abstention will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee and you do not instruct them how to vote on this proposal; your broker may have authority to vote your shares. As a result, broker non-votes are not expected to have an effect on the approval of this proposal.

 13

Recommendation of the Board

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Hein & Associates LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of ENGlobal for fiscal year 2016.

PROPOSAL THREE:

NON-BINDING “SAY-ON-PAY” ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION

OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Background

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enables our shareholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement in accordance with the SEC’s rules. While this “say-on-pay” vote on executive compensation is not binding, it will provide useful information to our Board and the Compensation Committee regarding our shareholders’ view of our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. To the extent there are significant negative advisory votes, we will consider the voting results and take them into consideration in making future decisions about our executive compensation program.

Summary

At the Company’s 2013 annual meeting of shareholders, the option of having this “say-on-pay” vote every three years received the highest number of votes cast by shareholders. Consistent with this desire for a “say-on-pay” vote very three years, we are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.

This proposal gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our executive officer’s compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement. Accordingly, we ask that our shareholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

Vote Required

Approval of the above resolution, on an advisory basis, regarding the compensation of our named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented at the Meeting, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote. For the approval of the above resolution, on an advisory basis, regarding the compensation of our named executive officers, you may vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” or abstain from voting. If you hold your shares in your own name and abstain from voting on this matter, your abstention will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee and you do not instruct them on how to vote on this proposal, your broker or other nominee will not have authority to vote your shares. As a result, broker non-votes are not expected to have an effect on the approval of this proposal.

 14

Recommendation of the Board

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Employment Agreements; Termination and Change-in-Control Arrangements

As of December 26, 2015, Messrs. Coskey and Hess were each a party to a written employment agreement (the “Employment Agreements”) with ENGlobal. The Employment Agreements provide for an annual base salary, subject to discretionary increases by the Board, and other compensation in the form of cash bonuses, incentive compensation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock awards. Additionally, the executives receive health, life, and other insurance benefits in accordance with the terms of the Company’s benefit plans, and the Company provides management level support services and reimbursement for specified business expenses.

The Employment Agreements provide for severance payments and benefits in the case of termination of employment. If employment ends because of death, the Company will pay any accrued but unpaid salary, additional compensation, and other benefits earned up to that date. In the case of a physical or mental disability that prevents the executive from performing his services under the Employment Agreement for a period of six months in the case of Mr. Coskey, and three months, in the case of Mr. Hess, the Company may terminate the executive’s employment. If the Company terminates an executive’s employment in such cases of disability, the Employment Agreements provide that the Company will continue to pay the executive his full salary and benefits for the six months following the date of termination (the “Initial Severance Period”). At the Company’s option, severance payments consisting of 50% of the monthly amount of the base salary for Mr. Coskey, and in the case of Mr. Hess, 100% of the monthly amount of his base salary, and full benefits may be extended for an additional six-month period following the Initial Severance Period.

If the Company terminates an executive’s employment for “cause,” as defined in the Employment Agreements, the Company will pay any accrued but unpaid salary, additional compensation, and other benefits earned up to the effective date of termination. If the Company terminates an executive’s employment without “cause,” the Employment Agreement provides that the Company will continue to pay the executive his full salary and benefits for the Initial Severance Period. At the Company’s option, severance payments consisting of 50% of the monthly amount of the base salary for Mr. Coskey, and in the case of Mr. Hess, 100% of the monthly amount of his base salary, and full benefits may be extended for an additional six-month period following the Initial Severance Period.

 20

The Employment Agreements include a covenant not to compete following termination of employment for a period of up to one year as well as confidentiality provisions as are customary in nature and scope, for such agreements.

The terms of the Employment Agreements were set through the course of arms-length negotiations with the executives. As part of these negotiations, the Compensation Committee analyzed the terms of the same or similar arrangements for comparable executives employed by some of the companies in our peer group. The Compensation Committee used this approach in setting the amounts payable and the triggering events under the Employment Agreements. The Employment Agreements’ termination of employment provisions were entered into in order to address competitive concerns by providing the executives with a fixed amount of compensation that would offset the potential risk of foregoing other opportunities. At the time of entering into the Employment Agreements, the Compensation Committee considered ENGlobal’s aggregate potential obligations in the context of retaining the executive and his expected compensation.

Executive Perquisites

Our use of perquisites as a component of compensation is limited and largely based on historical practices and policies of our Company. These perquisites and other benefits are provided to assure competitiveness and provide an additional retention incentive for these named executives. Our Compensation Committee endeavors to adhere to a high level of propriety in managing executive benefits and perquisites. We do not own a plane and do not provide any personal aircraft use for executives.

Other Compensation

From time to time, we make available to employees and executives certain other fringe benefits. We may provide club memberships, tickets to sporting or cultural events, tickets to community events, etc. To the extent that such items are taxable to the individual, they are considered to be part of the individual’s compensation package.

Review of and Conclusion Regarding All Components of Executive Compensation

Based on our performance during the past several years, and in light of our executives’ efforts in directing the Company, the Compensation Committee and the Board have determined that the compensation paid to Mr. Coskey, as well as compensation paid to our other named executive officers, serves the best interests of our shareholders and continues to emphasize programs that the Compensation Committee and the Board believe positively affect shareholder value.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following table discloses cash and equity awards and other compensation earned, paid or awarded, as the case may be, to each of the Company’s non-employee directors during the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015.

Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($)(1)		Stock Awards ($)(2)		Option Awards ($)(3)		All Other Compensation ($)		Total
Mr. Hale	$	34,000	$	50,000		--		--	$	84,000
Mr. Gent	$	30,000	$	50,000		--		--	$	80,000
Mr. Roussel	$	30,000	$	50,000		--		--	$	80,000

(1)	Amount paid in cash to non-employee directors for director compensation earned for their 2015-2016 Board service.
(2)	This column shows the grant date fair value of equity awards computed in accordance with stock-based compensation accounting rules (FASB ASC Topic 718). Values for awards subject to performance conditions are computed based upon the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. For a description of certain assumptions made in the valuation of stock awards, see Note 9 to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015, as filed with the SEC on March 3, 2016. Represents 35,971 shares of restricted stock at a fair market value per share price of $1.81 granted to each director on June 19, 2015, as described below under “Restricted Stock Grants.” As of December 26, 2015, Messrs. Hale, Gent and Roussel each had a total of 26,982 shares of restricted stock that were unvested.
(3)	As of December 26, 2015, Messrs. Hale, Gent and Roussel each had a total of 100,000 stock options outstanding.

The principal objectives of our director compensation programs are to: (i) compensate for time spent on the Company’s behalf, (ii) ensure similar compensation standards at companies of comparable size, industry and complexity, and (iii) align the compensation programs with long-term value to the Company’s shareholders. We attempt to accomplish these objectives in an economical manner through a combination of reasonable director retainer fees and equity incentive grants to the directors.

Retainer Fees

Beginning in the 2015-2016 service year, our non-employee directors, Messrs. Gent, Hale and Roussel, received an annual cash retainer of $30,000 as compensation for their service to the Company and are also eligible for reimbursement of travel and other miscellaneous expenses associated with attendance at Board and Committee meetings. Mr. Hale received an additional $4,000 for his service as Audit Committee Chairman.

The Board considers the director compensation programs to be in conformity with industry standards and to be reasonable by comparison to directors’ compensation at the comparable companies that we used for our evaluation of executive compensation.

Restricted Stock Grants

Under the Plan, non-employee directors are eligible to receive equity grants. On June 18, 2015, in recognition of the services provided by its Board for the 2015-2016 service term, our non-employee directors, Messrs. Gent, Hale and Roussel, each received 35,971 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $50,000 based on the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, or $1.81 per share. One quarter of the shares vested on September 30, 2015, one quarter vested on December 31, 2015, one quarter vested on March 31, 2016, and the remaining 25% of the shares will vest on the earlier of the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or June 30, 2016.

The Company anticipates that in June 2016, our non-employee directors, with the exception of Mr. Palma, will each receive restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $50,000 on the date of grant as compensation for their service to the Company during 2016-2017. We anticipate that the shares will be granted on June 16, 2016, and will vest over one year with 25% vesting on each of September 30, 2016, December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, and the remaining 25% of the shares vesting on the earlier of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or June 30, 2017. Any unvested shares will be forfeited as of the date the non-employee director ceases to qualify as an independent director.

 22

Mr. Palma will not receive any compensation from the Company for his service as a director, but will be eligible for reimbursement of travel and other miscellaneous expenses associated with attendance at Board and Committee meetings.

AUDIT MATTERS

Report of the Audit Committee

The information contained in this Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” or incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, or to be subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

In accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board in, among other matters, oversight of our financial reporting process, including the effectiveness of our internal accounting and financial controls and procedures, and controls over our accounting, auditing, and financial reporting practices. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on our website at www.englobal.com.

The Board has determined that all three members of the Audit Committee are “independent” based upon the standards adopted by the Board, which incorporate the independence requirements under applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Management is responsible for the financial reporting process, the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, our system of internal controls and procedures designed to ensure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the financial statements. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review these processes and procedures. The members of the Audit Committee are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and we are not professionals in those fields. The Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to us and on the representations made by management that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and on the representations of management and the opinion of the independent registered public accounting firm that such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 23

During fiscal year 2015, the Audit Committee held six meetings. The Audit Committee’s meetings were conducted so as to encourage communication among the members of the Audit Committee, management, and our independent registered public accounting firm, Hein & Associates, LLP. Among other things, the Audit Committee discussed with our internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for ENGlobal’s audits. The Audit Committee met separately with the independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management, to discuss the results of their examinations and their observations and recommendations regarding our internal controls. The Audit Committee also discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm all matters required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees).

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 26, 2015, with management and our independent registered public accounting firm. Management’s discussions with the Audit Committee included a review of critical accounting policies.

The Audit Committee obtained from the independent auditors a formal written statement describing all relationships between us and our registered public accounting firm that might bear on the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm consistent with the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent registered public accounting firm communications with audit committees concerning independence The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm any relationships that may have an impact on the auditors’ objectivity and independence and satisfied itself as to the auditors’ independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed and approved the amount of fees paid to Hein & Associates for audit and non-audit services. The Audit Committee concluded that the provision of services by Hein & Associates is compatible with the maintenance of Hein & Associates’ independence.

At five of its meetings during 2015, the Audit Committee met with members of senior management and the independent registered public accounting firm to review the certifications provided by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the overall certification process. At these meetings, Company officers reviewed each of the Sarbanes-Oxley certification requirements concerning internal control over financial reporting and any fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees with a significant role in internal control over financial reporting.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management, and the independent registered public accounting firm, and subject to the limitations on our role and responsibilities described above and in the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that ENGlobal’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015, for filing with the SEC.

Principal Auditor Fees

Hein & Associates LLP was appointed as the Company’s independent auditors on December 20, 2013 and has audited the Company’s 2015 and 2014 consolidated financial statements. During 2014 and 2015, Hein & Associates LLP did not audit the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because the Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined under the rules of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee has determined that the audit-related services provided by Hein & Associates LLP are compatible with maintaining its independence in the conduct of its auditing functions pursuant to the auditor independence rules of the SEC. No non-audit services were provided by Hein & Associates LLP in 2015 or 2014.

The following table shows the fees paid or accrued by ENGlobal for the audit and other services provided by Hein & Associates LLP for fiscal years 2015 and 2014.

	2015		2014
Audit Fees		176,020		170,500
Audit-Related Fees		40,000		--
Tax Fees		--		--
All Other Fees		--		--
Total		216,270		170,500

As defined by the SEC, (i) “audit fees” are fees for professional services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, or for services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years; (ii) “audit-related fees” are fees for assurance and related services by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the company’s financial statements and are not reported under “audit fees;” (iii) “tax fees” are fees for professional services rendered by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning; and (iv) “all other fees” are fees for products and services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, other than the services reported under “audit fees,” “audit-related fees,” and “tax fees.”

Pre-Approval Policy

Under applicable SEC rules, except for the ability to designate a portion of this responsibility as described below, the full Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that they do not impair the auditors’ independence from ENGlobal. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Audit Committee and if it does, the decisions of that member must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The SEC’s rules specify the types of non-audit services that an independent auditor may not provide to its audit client and establish the Audit Committee’s responsibility for administration of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Consistent with the SEC’s rules, the Audit Committee Charter requires that the Audit Committee review and pre-approve all audit services and permitted non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to ENGlobal or any of its subsidiaries, except that the Audit Committee Chairman has the right to approve up to $25,000 of services in any year. During 2015, all fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.
