This Proxy Statement and our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available for viewing, printing and downloading at http://www.astproxyportal.com/ast/16839/. We are providing a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 with the accompanying proxy materials.

RECORD DATE; VOTING SECURITIES; QUORUM

Only holders of record of our Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), and our Series A-2 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Series A-2 Preferred Stock"), as of the close of business on April 21, 2016 (the "Record Date") are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, 35,855,000 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and 32 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote per share of Common Stock held by such holder on each matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting. Each holder of Series A-2 Preferred Stock is entitled to vote on each matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting on an as converted basis up to 4.99% of (i) the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock held by such holder in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Series A-2 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”), plus (ii) all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder, unless such holder has waived such holder’s right to vote with respect to any or all of such holder’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Designations, in which case such holder is not entitled to vote such Series A-2 Preferred Stock in respect of any matter to be presented at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, each share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock was convertible into 2,514 shares of Common Stock.

A quorum is present at the Annual Meeting if a majority of the shares of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date are represented in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting may be adjourned from time to time until a quorum is obtained.

VOTING PROCEDURES; REQUIRED VOTES

The shares represented by the proxies received, properly dated and executed or authenticated, in the case of voting by telephone or internet, and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholders.

Telephone and internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 25, 2016.

If your shares are held in “street name” (held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record), you will receive instructions from the holder of record. You must follow the instructions of the holder of record in order for your shares to be voted. Telephone and internet voting also will be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you plan to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your broker or agent to obtain a legal proxy or broker’s proxy card and bring it to the Annual Meeting in order to vote.

Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote, while broker “non-votes” will be treated only as shares that are present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. An abstention is the voluntary act of not voting by a stockholder who is present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

Proposal No. 1: Pursuant to our by-laws, a plurality of the votes duly cast at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. This means that the nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected to fill the director positions available. Accordingly, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted for purposes of the election of directors and therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of such election.

Proposal No. 2: Pursuant to our by-laws, the vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class, is required for the ratification of the selection of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending

December 31, 2016. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the Proposal. For ratification of the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, brokers will have discretionary authority in the absence of timely instructions from their customers.

Proposal No. 3: Pursuant to our by-laws, the vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of our capital stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, voting as a single class, is required for the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” will not be voted, although it will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of the Proposal. Accordingly, an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the Proposal. Broker non‑votes will not have any effect on the outcome of the advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers.

Stockholders have the option to vote by telephone or internet by following the instructions on the attached proxy card. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO RECORD YOUR VOTE BY TELEPHONE OR INTERNET. These voting methods are convenient, and save significant postage and processing costs. In addition, when you vote by telephone or internet prior to the meeting date, your vote is recorded immediately and there is no risk that postal delays will cause your vote to arrive late and therefore not be counted.

SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION

After you have submitted a proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised by submitting a notice of revocation or a proxy bearing a later date. Regardless of whether you voted using a traditional proxy card or by telephone or internet, you may use any of these methods to change your vote. You may change your vote either by submitting a proxy card prior to the date of the Annual Meeting or by voting again prior to the time at which the telephone and internet voting facilities close by following the procedures applicable to those methods of voting. In each event, the later submitted vote will be recorded and the earlier vote revoked. You may also revoke a proxy by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing the proxy solicitation materials. In addition to solicitation by mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone or other electronic means or in person, but no such person will be specifically compensated for such services. We will cause brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of stock held of record by such persons. We will reimburse such custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in doing so. We have engaged American Stock Transfer and Trust Company to aid in the distribution of the proxy materials and will reimburse their related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our capital stock as of April 21, 2016 by each of the following:


•	each person (or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of any class of our voting securities;


•	the named executive officers set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation” below;


•	each of our directors and director nominees; and


•	all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The amounts and percentages are based on 35,855,000 shares of Common Stock and 32 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of April 21, 2016. The issued and outstanding shares of our Series A-2 Preferred Stock are held by David Robinson, who holds 31.6 shares or 100% of the class. As used in this table, “beneficial ownership” means the sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting or to dispose or direct the disposition of any security. A person is considered the beneficial owner of securities that can be acquired within 60 days of such date through the exercise or conversion of any option, warrant or other derivative security. Shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants or other derivative securities which are currently exercisable, convertible or exercisable or convertible within such 60 days are considered outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or other derivative security, but are not considered outstanding for computing the ownership percentage of any other person.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five directors. The current Board members include four independent directors and our chief executive officer. The core responsibility of our Board of Directors is to exercise its business judgment to act in what it reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Further, members of the Board fulfill their responsibilities consistent with their fiduciary duty to the stockholders, and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The primary responsibilities of the Board include:


•	Oversight of management performance and assurance that stockholder interests are served;


•	Oversight of the Company’s business affairs and long-term strategy; and


•	Monitoring adherence to the Company’s standards and policies, including, among other things, policies governing internal controls over financial reporting.

Our Board of Directors met six times during the year ended December 31, 2015. During this period, each director attended 75% or more of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period for which he was a director and (ii) the total number of meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which he served, held during the period for which he served. The Company does not have a policy with regard to directors’ attendance at our annual meetings of stockholders. All of our directors attended the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board and each of the standing committees meet throughout the year on a set schedule and also holds special meetings and acts by written consent from time to time, as appropriate.

Members of the Board have access to all of our members of management outside of Board meetings.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that each of our current directors, other than Mr. Holst, qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the rules of the NYSE MKT. Because Mr. Holst is our chief executive officer and an employee of the Company, he does not qualify as independent.

The NYSE MKT independence definition includes a series of objective tests, such as that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. In addition, as further required by the NYSE MKT rules, the Board has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationship exists which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In making these determinations, the directors reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors and the Company with regard to each director’s business and personal activities as they may relate to the Company and the Company’s management.

Board Committees

The Board has an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating committee. Each of the committees regularly report on their activities and actions to the full Board. The charters for the audit committee, the compensation committee,

and the nominating committee are available on the Company’s website at www.glowpoint.com/investor-relations. The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference into this document for any purpose.

Audit Committee

The audit committee currently consists of James S. Lusk (chair), David Giangano and Patrick J. Lombardi. Our Board of Directors has determined that all members of the audit committee are “independent” within the meaning of the listing standards of NYSE MKT and the SEC rules governing audit committees. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Lusk and Lombardi has the accounting and related financial management expertise to satisfy the requirements of an “audit committee financial expert,” as determined pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. The audit committee consults and meets with our independent registered public accounting firm, Chief Financial Officer and accounting personnel, reviews potential conflict of interest situations where appropriate, and reports and makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors regarding such matters. The audit committee met four times during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Please see "Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors" below for additional information regarding the audit committee and the report of its members for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee currently consists of James S. Lusk (chair), Kenneth Archer, and David Giangano. Each member of the compensation committee meets the applicable independence requirements of the NYSE MKT. The compensation committee met three times during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The compensation committee is responsible for establishing and administering our executive compensation policies. The role of the compensation committee is to (i) formulate, evaluate and approve compensation of the Company’s directors, executive officers and key employees, (ii) oversee all compensation programs involving the use of the Company’s stock and (iii) produce, if required under applicable securities laws, a report on executive compensation for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders. The duties and responsibilities of the compensation committee under its charter include:


•	annually reviewing and making recommendations to the Board with respect to compensation of directors, executive officers and key employees of the Company;


•	annually reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to Chief Executive Officer compensation, evaluating the Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and recommending to the Board the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation levels based on this evaluation;


•	reviewing competitive practices and trends to determine the adequacy of the executive compensation program;


•	approving and overseeing compensation programs for executive officers involving the use of the Company’s stock;


•	approving and administering cash incentives for executives, including oversight of achievement of performance objectives, and funding for executive incentive plans;


•	annually performing a self-evaluation on the performance of the compensation committee; and


•	making regular reports to the Board concerning the activities of the compensation committee.

When appropriate, the compensation committee may, in carrying out its responsibilities, form and delegate authority to subcommittees. The Chief Executive Officer plays a role in determining the compensation of our other executive officers by

evaluating the performance of those executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer’s evaluations are then reviewed by the compensation committee. This process leads to a recommendation for any changes in salary, bonus terms and equity awards, if any, based on performance, which recommendations are then reviewed and approved by the compensation committee.

Nominating Committee

Our nominating committee currently consists of Kenneth Archer (chair) and James S. Lusk. Each member of the nominating committee meets the independence requirements of the NYSE. The nominating committee is responsible for assessing the performance of our Board of Directors and making recommendations to our Board regarding nominees for the Board. The nominating committee met two times during the year ended December 31, 2015.

The nominating committee considers qualified candidates to serve as a member of our Board of Directors suggested by our stockholders. Nominees recommended by stockholders will be given appropriate consideration and evaluated in the same manner as other nominees. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 1300, Denver, Colorado 80203. Stockholder submissions that are received in accordance with our by-laws and that meet the criteria outlined in the nominating committee charter are forwarded to the members of the nominating committee for review. Stockholder submissions must include the following information:


•	a statement that the writer is our stockholder and is proposing a candidate for our Board of Directors for consideration by the nominating committee;


•	the name of and contact information for the candidate;


•	a statement of the candidate’s business and educational experience;


•	information regarding each of the factors set forth in the nominating committee charter sufficient to enable the nominating committee to evaluate the candidate;


•	a statement detailing any relationship between the candidate and any of our customers, suppliers or competitors;


•	detailed information about any relationship or understanding between the proposing stockholder and the candidate; and


•	a statement that the candidate is willing to be considered and willing to serve as our director if nominated and elected.

In considering potential new directors, the nominating committee will review individuals from various disciplines and backgrounds. Among the qualifications to be considered in the selection of candidates are broad experience in business, finance or administration; familiarity with national and international business matters; familiarity with our industry; and prominence and reputation. While there is no formal policy with regard to consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, the nominating committee will consider diversity in business experience, professional expertise, gender and ethnic background, along with various other factors when evaluating director nominees. The nominating committee will also consider whether the individual has the time available to devote to the work of our Board of Directors and one or more of its committees.

The nominating committee will also review the activities and associations of each candidate to ensure that there is no legal impediment, conflict of interest or other consideration that might hinder or prevent service on our Board of Directors. In making its selection, the nominating committee will bear in mind that the foremost responsibility of a director of a corporation is to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole. The nominating committee will periodically review and reassess the adequacy of its charter and propose any changes to the Board of Directors for approval.

Contacting the Board of Directors

Any stockholder who desires to contact our Board of Directors, committees of the Board of Directors and individual directors may do so by writing to: Glowpoint, Inc., 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 1300, Denver, Colorado 80203, Attention: David Clark, Corporate Secretary. Mr. Clark will direct such communication to the appropriate persons.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

At no time during the year ended December 31, 2015 was the chairman of our Board of Directors also our Chief Executive Officer. Although the Board does not have a policy regarding the separation of the roles of chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, the Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company, and also the membership of the Board. This structure facilitates a greater role for the Board of Directors in the oversight of the Company, and allows the chief executive officer to focus on the management of the Company’s day-to-day operations. Currently, Patrick J. Lombardi holds the position of chairman of our Board of Directors.

The Board has an active role, directly and through its committees, in the oversight of the Company’s risk management efforts. The Board carries out this oversight role through several levels of review. The Board regularly reviews and discusses with members of management information regarding the management of risks inherent in the operation of the Company’s business and the implementation of the Company’s strategic plan, including the Company’s risk mitigation efforts.

Each of the Board’s committees also oversees the management of the Company’s risks that are under each committee’s areas of responsibility. For example, the audit committee oversees management of accounting, auditing, external reporting, internal controls and cash investment risks. The nominating committee oversees and assesses the performance of the Board and makes recommendations to the Board from time to time regarding nominees for the Board. The compensation committee oversees risks arising from compensation practices and policies. While each committee has specific responsibilities for oversight of risk, the Board is regularly informed by each committee about such risks. In this manner the Board is able to coordinate its risk oversight.

Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination or Change-in-Control

This section summarizes the material terms of our contracts and arrangements that may provide payments or benefits upon a Named Executive Officer’s termination or upon a change in control of the Company. For the purposes of this discussion,

set forth below are the standard definitions for the various types of termination, although exact definitions may vary by agreement and by person.

In accordance with the terms of the 2007 Plan and 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, upon a Change in Control or Corporate Transaction, as each such term is defined in such Plans, all shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and all unvested options immediately vest. No Named Executive Officer is entitled to accelerated vesting in connection with Voluntary Resignation, retirement, disability or a Termination for Cause.

“Voluntary Resignation” means the resignation initiated by the executive officer.

“Resignation for Good Reason” means if the executive officer resigns because: (i) there has been a diminution in his base salary; (ii) the executive officer is required to be based in an office that is more than a certain distance (e.g., 50 or 75 miles) from the current location of the office; (iii) the executive officer is assigned duties that are materially inconsistent with his current position; or (iv) there is a material diminution of his status, office, title, responsibility, or reporting requirements.

“Termination For Cause” means a termination of executive officer’s employment by the Company because, in the judgment of the Company: (i) the executive officer willfully engaged in any act or omission which is in bad faith and to the detriment of the Company; (ii) the executive officer exhibited unfitness for service, dishonesty, habitual neglect, persistent and serious deficiencies in performance, or gross incompetence, which conduct is not cured within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the executive officer of written notice of the conduct; (iii) the executive officer is convicted of a crime; or (iv) the executive officer refused or failed to act on any reasonable and lawful directive or order from the executive officer’s superior or the Board.

“Termination Without Cause” means a termination for a reason other than Termination For Cause, as defined above.

Under the terms of Mr. Holst’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, upon the Company’s termination of Mr. Holst without cause, the Company is required to pay severance to Mr. Holst equal to twelve months of his base salary plus 100% of his maximum annual target bonus payable for the calendar year in which such termination occurs.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The audit committee is composed of three members. Each member is a director who meets the current independence standards under the applicable SEC and NYSE MKT rules. The audit committee operates under a written audit committee charter. As described more fully in its charter, the purpose of the audit committee is to assist the Board in its general oversight of the Company’s financial reporting, internal controls and audit functions. Management is responsible for: the preparation, presentation and integrity of Company’s financial statements; accounting and financial reporting principles; internal controls; and procedures designed to reasonably assure compliance with accounting standards, applicable laws and regulations. EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”), our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). In accordance with applicable law, the audit committee has ultimate authority and responsibility to select, compensate, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace our independent registered public accounting firm. The audit committee has the authority to engage its own outside advisers, including experts in particular areas of accounting, as it determines appropriate, apart from counsel or advisers hired by management.

The audit committee members need not be professional accountants or auditors, and their functions are not intended to duplicate or to certify the activities of management and EisnerAmper, nor can the audit committee certify that EisnerAmper is “independent” under applicable rules. The audit committee serves a Board-level oversight role, in which it provides advice, counsel and direction to management and EisnerAmper on the basis of the information it receives, discussions with management and EisnerAmper, and the experience of the audit committee’s members in business, financial and accounting matters. Two members of the audit committee have been determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with SEC rules. Stockholders should understand that this designation is an SEC disclosure requirement related to these directors’ experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose on these directors any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on them as a member of the audit committee and the Board, and their designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or the Board.

In accordance with law, the audit committee is responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by the Company regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, including the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees received through established procedures, of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. Among other matters, the audit committee monitors the activities and performance of EisnerAmper, including the audit scope, external audit fees, independence matters and the extent to which the firm may be retained to perform non-audit services.

In accordance with audit committee policy and applicable legal requirements, all services to be provided by EisnerAmper are pre-approved by the audit committee. Pre-approval includes audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the law prohibits a publicly-traded company from obtaining certain non-audit services from EisnerAmper. We obtain these services from other service providers as needed.

The audit committee has reviewed our audited financial statements and met and held discussions with management regarding the audited financial statements. Management has represented to the audit committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The audit committee has discussed with EisnerAmper the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Pubic Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. These discussions have included a review as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles.

The audit committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from EisnerAmper required by applicable requirements of the Pubic Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the EisnerAmper’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with EisnerAmper its independence from management and the Company. The audit committee has also considered the compatibility of non-audit services with EisnerAmper’s independence.

Based on the audit committee’s review and discussions described in this report, the audit committee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the SEC.



	Respectfully submitted,
	James S. Lusk, Chairman David Giangano Patrick J. Lombardi

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by regulations of the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of reports we received, or written representations that no such reports were required for those persons, we believe that, for the year ended December 31, 2015, all statements of beneficial ownership required to be filed with the SEC were filed on a timely basis.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

The Company provides video collaboration services to ABM Industries, Inc. (“ABM”). James S. Lusk, who serves on the Board of Directors for the Company, was an officer of ABM from 2007 until April 2015. Revenues from ABM were $44,000 and $133,000 for the four months ended April 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, respectively.

As of December 31, 2015, Peter Holst, the Company’s President and CEO and a prior stockholder of Affinity, held a 27% interest in the SRS Note, which was issued to SRS on behalf of the prior stockholders of Affinity in October 2012. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the terms of the SRS Note.

As of December 31, 2015, MSCC owns 7,711,517 shares, or 22%, of the Company’s common stock. Main Street is the Company’s debt lender. Please see Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the Company’s debt.

Transactions with related parties, including the transactions referred to above, are reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee, composed entirely of independent, non-employee members of the Board of Directors, has appointed the firm of EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”) as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016 and is asking the stockholders for ratification of the appointment. If the stockholders do not approve the selection of EisnerAmper, the audit committee will reconsider the appointment, but may conclude that it is in the best interests of the Company to retain EisnerAmper for the current fiscal year. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.

As our independent registered public accounting firm, EisnerAmper would audit our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, review the related interim quarters, and perform audit-related services and consultation in connection with various accounting and financial reporting matters. EisnerAmper may also perform certain non-audit services for our Company. The audit committee has determined that the provision of the services provided by EisnerAmper as set forth herein are compatible with maintaining EisnerAmper’s independence and the prohibitions on performing non-audit services set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and relevant SEC rules.

Audit Fees

EisnerAmper, our principal accountant, billed us approximately $230,400 for professional services for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the 2015 fiscal year and the reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2015 fiscal year. EisnerAmper billed us approximately $284,400 for professional services for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the 2014 fiscal year and the reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the 2014 fiscal year.

Audit-Related Fees

EisnerAmper did not bill us in the 2015 or 2014 fiscal years for any professional services rendered for audit-related items.

Tax Fees

EisnerAmper did not bill us in the 2015 or 2014 fiscal years for any professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

All Other Fees

EisnerAmper did not bill us in the 2015 or 2014 fiscal years for any other products or services other than the audit and audit-related fees described above.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The audit committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of EisnerAmper to perform audit and other services for the Company. Our procedures for the pre-approval by the audit committee of all services provided by EisnerAmper comply with SEC regulations regarding pre-approval of services. Services subject to these SEC requirements include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The audit engagement is specifically approved and the auditors are retained by

the audit committee. The audit committee also has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving all non-audit work performed by EisnerAmper. In accordance with audit committee policy and the requirements of law, all services provided by EisnerAmper in the 2015 and 2014 fiscal years were pre-approved by the audit committee and all services to be provided by EisnerAmper will be pre-approved. Pre-approval includes audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. To avoid certain potential conflicts of interest, the law prohibits a publicly traded company from obtaining certain non-audit services from its auditing firm. We obtain these services from other service providers as needed.

Board Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the selection of EisnerAmper LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are asking our stockholders to provide advisory, non-binding approval of the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement. Our Board of Directors recognizes that executive compensation is an important matter for our stockholders. The compensation committee is tasked with the implementation of our executive compensation philosophy. In particular, the compensation committee strives to attract, retain and motivate the best executives we can identify and recruit, to reward past performance measured against established goals and provide incentives for future performance and to align executives’ long‑term interests with the interests of our stockholders. To do so, the compensation committee uses a combination of short‑term and long‑term incentive compensation to reward excellent performance and to encourage executives’ commitment to our long‑range, strategic business goals. It is the intention of the compensation committee that our named executive officers be compensated competitively with the market and consistently with our strategy, sound corporate governance principles and stockholder interests and concerns.

We believe our compensation program is effective, appropriate and strongly aligned with the long‑term interests of our stockholders and that the total compensation packages provided to our named executive officers (including potential payouts upon a termination or change in control) are reasonable and not excessive. As you consider this proposal, we urge you to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement for additional details on executive compensation and to review the tabular disclosures regarding named executive officer compensation together with the accompanying narrative disclosures in this proxy statement. Some of the program features incorporated by the compensation committee to align our executive compensation program with our executive compensation philosophy include:


•	time‑based and performance‑based equity awards incorporating a vesting period to emphasize long‑term performance and executive officer commitment and retention;


•	no salary increases for the named executive officers since March 2014 and eliminated annual performance-based cash awards in 2015 and 2016 based on Company performance and revenue declines;


•	in prior years, annual performance‑based cash awards incorporated operational, financial, and performance metrics in order to properly balance risk with the incentives needed to drive our key annual initiatives-such awards impose maximum payouts to further manage risk and the possibility of excessive payments; and


•	double‑trigger requirement for any acceleration of vesting of equity upon a change in control (i.e., a termination without cause or resignation for good reason is required in connection with a change in control).

This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on our Board of Directors or the compensation committee, will not overrule any decisions made by our Board of Directors or the compensation committee and will not require our Board of Directors or the compensation committee to take any specific action. Although the vote is non‑binding, our Board of Directors and the compensation committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

We are asking stockholders to vote “For” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation philosophy, policies and procedures and the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in the proxy statement.”

Board Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR Proposal No. 3 and approve the compensation of the named executive officers of the Company, on an advisory basis.

CODE OF CONDUCT AND ETHICS

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics, as amended effective October 12, 2015, that applies to all of our employees, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The text of the code of conduct and ethics (as amended) is posted on our website at www.glowpoint.com/investor-relations and will be made available to stockholders without charge, upon request, in writing to the Corporate Secretary at 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 1300, Denver, Colorado 80203. Disclosure regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of the code of conduct and ethics that apply to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller or person performing similar functions will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver, unless website posting of such amendments or waivers is then permitted by the rules of the national securities exchange on which the Company trades.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS FOR DIRECTOR

Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal (other than for director nominations) for inclusion in our proxy materials for the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders must deliver the proposal to the Corporate Secretary of Glowpoint, Inc. at 1776 Lincoln Street, Suite 1300, Denver, Colorado 80203, no later than December 30, 2016.

In addition, our by-laws provide that, in order for a stockholder to timely propose business for consideration at our next annual meeting of stockholders or nominate a person for election to our Board of Directors at our next annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholder must give written notice to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices between February 25, 2017, which is 90 days prior to the anniversary of our 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, and March 27, 2017, which is 60 days prior to such anniversary. In the event that our next annual meeting of stockholders is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after May 26, 2017, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of our next annual meeting of stockholders is mailed or public disclosure of our next annual meeting of stockholders is made, whichever occurs first.

HOUSEHOLDING OF ANNUAL DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS

The SEC previously adopted a rule concerning the delivery of annual disclosure documents. The rule allows us or brokers holding our shares on your behalf to send a single set of our annual report and proxy statement to any household at which two or more of our stockholders reside, if either we or the brokers believe that the stockholders are members of the same family. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both stockholders and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received by you and helps to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements. Once stockholders receive notice from their brokers or from us that communications to their addresses will be “householded,” the practice will continue until stockholders are otherwise notified or until they revoke their consent to the practice. Each stockholder will continue to receive a separate proxy card or voting instruction card.

Those stockholders who either (i) do not wish to participate in “householding” and would like to receive their own sets of our annual disclosure documents in future years or (ii) who share an address with another one of our stockholders and who would like to receive only a single set of our annual disclosure documents should follow the instructions described below:


•	Stockholders whose shares are registered in their own name should contact our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, and inform them of their request by calling them at 1-800-937-5449 or writing them at 6201 15^th Avenue, 2^nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11219.


•	Stockholders whose shares are held by a broker or other nominee should contact such broker or other nominee directly and inform them of their request. Stockholders should be sure to include their name, the name of their brokerage firm and their account number.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors knows of no other business to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If any matters do come before the meeting on which action can properly be taken, the persons named in the enclosed proxy will have the discretion to vote such matters in accordance with their judgment.
