PROXY STATEMENT

FOR THE

2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MAY 1, 2015

SOLICITATION

This Proxy Statement, being mailed and made available electronically (on our Company website at www.prim.com ) to stockholders on or about April 8, 2015, is being sent to you by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Primoris Services Corporation in connection with our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Annual Meeting will take place at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, on Friday, May 1, 2015, at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel, located at 400 Crescent Court, Dallas, Texas 75201. You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement.

Purpose of the Annual Meeting

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will vote to elect three Class A Directors and will vote to ratify the appointment of Moss Adams, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. In addition, management will report on our performance over the last fiscal year and, following the Annual Meeting, respond to questions from stockholders.

Materials provided

The Board sent you this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card in order to solicit your proxy to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. As a stockholder, you are invited to attend the meeting and are entitled to vote on the items of business described in this Proxy Statement.

Annual Meeting attendance

All stockholders as of March 31, 2015 (the “Record Date”), or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the Annual Meeting. You may need to bring personal identification. Gaining admission to the Annual Meeting depends on how your stock ownership is recorded with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Transfer Agent”). If your stock is held in the name of a bank, broker or other holder of record and you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please obtain proof of ownership, such as a current brokerage account statement or certification from your broker. If your stock is registered directly in your name with our Transfer Agent, all you need is proof of identity; no proof of ownership is needed.

Voting at the Annual Meeting

Holders of our common stock (“Common Stock”) as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 51,569,564 shares of Common Stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote with respect to each matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. There is no stockholder statutory right of appraisal or dissent with respect to any matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting.

Quorum requirement

The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Proxies marked as abstaining (including proxies containing broker non-votes) on any matter to be acted upon by stockholders will be treated as present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast on such matters.

Table of Contents

Stockholder of record & beneficial owner

All stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. All shares that have been properly voted and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with the Transfer Agent, you are considered the stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by us. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed a proxy card for you to use.

Voting in person at the Annual Meeting — You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to do so, please bring the enclosed proxy card and proof of identification. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

Voting without attending the Annual Meeting — Please complete and properly sign and date the accompanying proxy card and return it to the Transfer Agent in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.

Changing your vote after returning your proxy card — You can revoke your proxy before it is exercised by:

·                  delivering written notice of revocation of the proxy to our Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting;

·                  executing and delivering a later dated proxy card to our Secretary; or

·                  attending and voting by ballot in person at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner of Shares

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account, by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the stockholder of record how to vote your shares. Your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for your use.

Voting in person at the Annual Meeting — You may vote in person at the Annual Meeting by obtaining a signed “legal proxy” from the record holder (e.g., your broker, bank or nominee) prior to the meeting.

Voting without attending the Annual Meeting — If you sign the accompanying proxy card and return it to the Transfer Agent, your shares will be voted as you direct on the proxy card. Please follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee. You may vote by mail by completing, signing and dating the voting instruction cards provided by your broker, bank or nominee and mailing them to such entities in the accompanying pre-addressed envelopes.

Changing your vote after returning your proxy card — You may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee. You may also vote at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions as described above in Voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

Required votes to approve each item

Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on each proposal at the Annual Meeting. All matters require the existence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. All proposals require an affirmative vote of the majority of shares represented in person or by proxy.  Election of Directors is determined by plurality voting. The individual receiving the largest number of votes for each position will be elected.

2

Table of Contents

In voting on Proposal 1, the election of Directors, you may vote “FOR” the nominee or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to the nominee. A properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to any other matter will not be voted, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. An abstention on Proposal 2 will have the effect of a negative vote on that matter. If you are a beneficial owner, shares represented by broker non-votes (when the broker indicates they do not have their customer’s direction on how to vote, nor has discretionary authority on how to vote) will be counted in determining whether there is a quorum but will not be counted as votes cast on any matter.

Inspector of elections

Our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, John M. Perisich, will act as Inspector of Elections and oversee the voting results. The Inspector of Elections will also determine the presence of a quorum.

Voting results of the Annual Meeting

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and will publish final results in a Current Report on a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within four business days of the Annual Meeting.

Board recommendations

The Board recommends a vote:

·                  FOR Proposal No. 1 to elect each of the three Class A Directors.

·                  FOR Proposal No. 2 to ratify the appointment of Moss Adams, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Unless you give other instructions on your proxy card, the individual(s) named as proxy holder on the proxy card will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board.

Expense of soliciting proxies

We will pay the costs for the solicitation of proxies, including the cost of preparing and mailing this Proxy Statement. Proxies are being solicited primarily by mail, but the solicitation by mail may be followed-up by solicitation in person, or by telephone or facsimile, by our regular employees without additional compensation for such proxy solicitation activity or by a proxy solicitation firm. We will reimburse brokers, banks and other custodians and nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to our stockholders.

Stockholder proposal deadline for the 2016 Annual Meeting

The rules of the SEC establish the eligibility requirements and the procedures that must be followed for inclusion of a stockholder’s proposal in a public company’s proxy materials. Under those rules, proposals submitted for inclusion in our 2016 proxy materials must be received on or before the close of business on the day that is 120 days prior to March 31, 2016. Proposals for inclusion in our 2016 proxy materials must comply with the procedures set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

In addition to the requirements of the SEC, our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) provide that in order for a proposal to be properly brought before an Annual Meeting of Stockholders, it must be either: (1) specified in the notice of the meeting given by us, (2) otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the direction of our Board, or (3) properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting who complies with the following notice procedures: (i) the stockholder must give timely notice thereof in writing of the business to be brought before such meeting to our Secretary, and (ii) such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our Bylaws provide that to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 45 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which we first mailed our proxy materials for the preceding year’s Annual Meeting. If the date of the subsequent year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders is changed by more than 30 days from the date of the prior year’s meeting, notice by the stockholder for the subsequent year’s Annual Meeting must be delivered to our Secretary within a “reasonable time” prior to our mailing of the proxy materials for the subsequent year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We expect to announce the date of the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in early 2016.

MATTERS TO COME BEFORE THE MEETING

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Item 1 on Proxy Card)

General Information

We currently have a classified Board consisting of six members.  Four of our Directors are independent Directors as determined under NASDAQ listing rules. Our Directors are divided into three classes (Class A, Class B and Class C). Directors in each class are elected to serve for three-year terms that expire in successive years.  The terms of the Class A Directors Brian Pratt, Thomas E. Tucker and Peter C. Brown expire at the upcoming 2015 Annual Meeting.

In February 2015, the Board of Directors’ Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended to the Board the nomination of Brian Pratt, Thomas E. Tucker and Peter C. Brown for re-election as Class A Director for three-year terms expiring at the 2018 Annual Meeting, or until their successors are elected and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal. These recommendations were adopted unanimously by the Board. If the nominees become unavailable for any reason, or if any vacancy occurs before the election at the 2015 Annual Meeting (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as the Board may designate.

Each nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve if elected.  If a quorum is present and voting, the nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as Class A Directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the result of the vote; however, abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR BRIAN PRATT, THOMAS E. TUCKER AND PETER C. BROWN AS CLASS A DIRECTORS TO HOLD OFFICE UNTIL OUR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD IN 2018 OR UNTIL THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS ARE DULY ELECTED AND QUALIFIED OR UPON THEIR EARLIER DEATH, RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL.

Information Regarding Directors and Director Nominees

The following table sets forth information regarding our current Directors, including the Class A Director nominees up for election at the Annual Meeting. There are no family relationships among any Directors, nominees or named executive officers of the Company. To our knowledge, there are no material proceedings to which any Director or executive officer is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

The person(s) named in the enclosed proxy card will vote to elect Brian Pratt, Thomas E. Tucker and Peter C. Brown as Class A Directors, unless you withhold this authority to vote for the election of any or all of the nominees by marking the proxy to that effect.

(Item 2 on Proxy Card)

General

We are asking the stockholders to ratify the Audit Committee’s appointment of Moss Adams, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015. The firm is a registered public accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules of the PCAOB. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider this appointment. 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 and our stockholders.

A Moss Adams, LLP representative is expected to attend the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders. The representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate stockholder questions.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the ratification of the appointment of Moss Adams, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2015.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF MOSS ADAMS, LLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR 2015.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees and Services

All fees billed by Moss Adams, LLP, have been approved in advance by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The following is a summary of the fees billed for professional services for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

(1)                         Fees for audit services consist of the fees associated with the annual audit, for quarterly SAS 100 reviews and reviews of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

(2)                          Audit related fees include proxy filings, registration statements and standalone audits for Primoris subsidiaries.

(3)                          Tax fees include professional services rendered for tax compliance (preparation and review of tax returns), tax advice and tax planning.

Audit Committee Report

The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by us under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate this report by reference.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the independent registered public accounting firm’s qualifications, independence and performance, (iii) our accounting and financial reporting processes, (iv) our compliance with financial legal and regulatory requirements, and (v) the audits of our financial statements. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The independent registered public accounting firm reports directly to the Audit Committee.

Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements and the reporting process. Our management has represented to the Audit Committee that the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition to its review of the consolidated financial statements and in the performance of its oversight function, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the critical accounting policies that were applied in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, and the process for certifications by our Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.  The Audit Committee discussed the results of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm.  The Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No.16 (Communications with Audit Committees).  In addition, the Audit Committee received from the independent registered public accounting firm the written disclosures required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and discussed with them their independence from the Company and its management. The Audit Committee also evaluated whether the independent registered public accounting firm’s provision of non-audit services to us was compatible with the auditor’s independence and determined it was compatible.

The Board determined that the Audit Committee members meet the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and applicable NASDAQ independence rules.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, the inclusion of the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Based on its review, the Board has approved charters, policies, procedures and controls that we believe promote and enhance our corporate governance, accountability and responsibility and promote a culture of honesty and integrity.

Charters for each of our Board committees are available on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.prim.com, and copies are available free of charge upon request to our Secretary at Primoris Services Corporation, 2100 McKinney Avenue, Suite 1500, Dallas, Texas 75201.

The listing standards of NASDAQ require that companies have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors. Determining director independence requires that the Board affirmatively determine that the director has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

To assist it in making independence determinations, the Board has adopted independence standards, which include the standards required by NASDAQ for independent directors. Under these standards, a director is not independent if:

·                  The director is, or has been within the last three years, one of our or our subsidiaries’ employees, or the director has an immediate family member who is, or has been within the last three years, one of our executive officers;

·                  The director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than $120,000 in compensation from us (other than compensation for Board or Committee service, compensation to a family member who is an employee but not an executive officer, or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation);

·                  The director is, or has a family member that is, a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which we made, or from which we received, payments for property or services in the current year or in any of the last three years, that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater, other than payments arising solely from investments in our securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs;

·                  The director, or an immediate family member, is currently employed, or has been employed within the last three years, as an executive officer of another company where any of our present executive officers serves or has served on that company’s compensation committee; or

·                  The director is, or has a family member, that is a current partner of our outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of our outside auditor who worked on our audit at any time during any of the past three years.

On the basis of the Board independence standards identified above, and such other factors as the Board may consider from time to time, the Board has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Brown, Cook, Tinstman and Tucker are independent.

Board Structure and Committee Composition

The Board has: (i) an Audit Committee, (ii) a Compensation Committee, (iii) a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and (iv) a Succession Planning Committee. The Board and its Committees meet throughout the year on a set schedule and also hold special meetings, both telephonically and in person, and act by written consent from time to time, as appropriate. During 2014, the Board held a total of ten meetings, the Audit Committee held four meetings, the Compensation Committee held four meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held four meetings and the Succession Planning Committee held two meetings. The independent Directors meet in executive session at meetings of the Board and Committees as necessary. During the Board meetings, all of the independent Directors met in executive session without any management members four times during 2014.

Mr. Pratt, our Chief Executive Officer also serves as the Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that as a result of his significant ownership of Primoris stock and his knowledge of the strategy and business of the Company and the predecessor companies as Chief Executive Officer since 1983, there is no benefit to be derived by separating the positions of Chairman and Chief

10

Table of Contents

Executive Officer. As the Company continues to grow, the Board will review the advisability of separating the two positions. In May 2010, Mr. Cook was appointed by the Board as the Lead Director, responsible for chairing the Board meetings in the absence of the Chairman, chairing executive sessions of independent Directors, acting as the principal liaison between the Chairman and the independent Directors and serving as the contact Director for stockholders.

The Board and the Compensation Committee do not make decisions regarding an executive officer’s compensation in the presence of such executive officer. The compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers is recommended to the Board of Directors for approval by the Compensation Committee.  The Board of Directors act on the recommendations in a vote in which only independent Directors participate and which takes place during executive sessions of independent Board members.

Director nominees are selected or recommended for the Board of Directors’ selection by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  The Board of Directors act on the recommendation in a vote in which only independent Directors participate and which takes place during executive sessions of independent Board members.

Each Director attended at least 90% of all Board meetings held in 2014. In addition, each Director attended all of the meetings held by all Board committees on which such person served (during the periods that such person served).

Each Board committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Board committee charters are available on the investor relations section of our website at www.prim.com.

The members of the Board committees are identified in the following table:

(1)         Messrs. Brown, Cook, Tinstman and Tucker are independent Directors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of three persons, all of whom are independent under the NASDAQ listing standards. Members of the Audit Committee must also satisfy additional SEC independence requirements, which provide that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company other than compensation in their capacity as Director, or otherwise be an “affiliated person” of us. The Board has determined that Audit Committee members Messrs. Brown, Cook and Tucker all satisfy the applicable SEC independence requirements. The Board has also determined that each member of our Audit Committee qualifies as independent under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes, internal control systems, independent auditor relationships and the audits of our financial statements. Among other matters, the Audit Committee’s responsibilities include the following:

·                  Selecting and hiring our independent registered public accounting firm;

·                  Evaluating the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm;

·                  Reviewing and approving the audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm;

·                  Reviewing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm the results of our annual and quarterly financial statements;

11

Table of Contents

·                  Overseeing the administration of management’s process for the design, review of adequacy, implementation and effectiveness of our internal controls established for finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics;

·                  Reviewing management’s assessment of internal control and steps taken to monitor and control our exposure to financial risk;

·                  Overseeing the administration of management’s process of reviewing the design, adequacy, implementation and effectiveness of our critical accounting and financial policies;

·                  Overseeing and monitoring the integrity of our financial statements and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements as they relate to our financial statements of accounting matters; and

·                  Reviewing and approving any related party transactions.

Audit Committee Financial Expert.                 The Board has also determined that Mr. Brown is the Audit Committee “financial expert” as defined under SEC rules and regulations. Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements and the financial reporting processes of the Company. On a quarterly basis, the independent Audit Committee members meet with the auditors without the presence of management. During these independent sessions, the Committee and the auditors discuss, among other things, the acceptability of the Company’s accounting principles, critical accounting policies and sensitive accounting estimates.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee of the Board are Messrs. Cook (Chairman), Brown and Tinstman. All of the members of the Compensation Committee meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ listing standards.

The Compensation Committee monitors and assists the Board in determining compensation for our senior management and Directors. The Board and the Compensation Committee do not make decisions regarding an executive officer’s compensation in the presence of such executive officer. After the Compensation Committee analyzes compensation issues related to our Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, it makes a recommendation to the Board’s independent Directors for determination by independent Directors in a vote in which only independent Directors participate. The Compensation Committee has the following authority and responsibilities, among others, with respect to our Director and executive compensation plans:

·                  Reviewing the goals and objectives of our executive compensation programs and recommending to the Board any changes to these goals and objectives;

·                  Reviewing our executive compensation plans including incentive, equity-based and benefit plans, and recommending to the Board the adoption of new plans or amendments to existing plans;

·                  Evaluating annually the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and recommending to the independent members of the Board his or her compensation level based on this evaluation;

·                  Evaluating annually the performance of the other executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and recommending to the independent members of the Board the compensation level of each based on this evaluation;

·                  Reviewing and recommending to the independent members of the Board, concurrently with the Board’s Audit Committee, any employment, severance or termination arrangements made with any executive officer of the Company or its subsidiaries; and

·                  Evaluating the appropriate level and types of compensation for Board and Committee service by non-employee Directors and recommending any changes to the Board.

The Compensation Committee has the power to form subcommittees for any purpose that it deems appropriate and may delegate to such subcommittee such power and authority as the Compensation Committee may deem appropriate, provided it does not delegate to a subcommittee any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Compensation Committee as a whole. The Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer in determining the level of compensation of the executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain such independent consultants or advisers as it deems necessary and appropriate, including compensation consultants, to advise it with respect to amounts or forms of executive or Director compensation, and may rely on the

12

Table of Contents

integrity and advice of any such advisers. The Compensation Committee also has the sole authority to retain a compensation consultant to assist it in carrying out its responsibilities, including the sole authority to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms, such fees to be borne by us, and to terminate any such consultant.

The Committee engaged Pay Governance, LLC as its independent advisor in 2012.  Prior to their engagement, Pay Governance did not perform any services for the Company. The Committee considered independence factors under Dodd-Frank and NASDAQ rules and concluded that the work performed by Pay Governance did not present any conflicts of interest.  Pay Governance advises and consults with the Committee on compensation issues, compensation design and trends, and keeps the Committee apprised of regulatory, legislative, and accounting developments and competitive practices related to executive compensation. Pay Governance reviews, at the direction of the Committee, compensation levels, trends and practices annually. Pay Governance does not determine the exact amount or form of executive compensation for any executive officers. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Our Compensation Program.” Pay Governance reports directly to the Committee, and a representative of Pay Governance, when requested, attends meetings of the Committee, is available to participate in executive sessions and communicates directly with the Committee Chair or its members outside of meetings. Pay Governance does no other work for the Company.”

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No interlocking relationship exists between any member of our Board and any member of the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any other companies, nor has such interlocking relationships existed in the past.

Stockholder Advisory “Say on Pay” Vote

In our 2011 proxy, we indicated that we believed that seeking stockholder approval advisory votes every third year would provide the most efficient form of communication and would lend itself to the long-term nature of the compensation plans for our management. At the 2011 annual meeting, of those votes that expressed a position on the frequency of pay, 76.25% recommended an advisory vote every three years. After deliberation, the Compensation Committee and the Board adopted the position of asking for an advisory vote every three years.  Three years later, at the 2014 Annual Meeting, the stockholders made a non-binding advisory vote approving the Company’s executive compensation program.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

On November 4, 2014, Mr. Pratt stepped down as chairman and a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Since that date, the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee have been Messrs.  Tucker (Chairman), Cook, and Tinstman.  All of the members of the Committee meet the independence requirements of NASDAQ listing standards.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board by identifying individuals qualified to become Directors consistent with criteria established by the Board.  After the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee identifies qualified individuals, it makes a recommendation to the Board’s independent Directors. Director nominees are selected by a majority of the Board’s independent Directors in a vote in which only independent Directors participate. Among other matters, the Committee’s responsibilities include the following:

·                  Evaluating the composition, size and governance of the Board and its committees and making recommendations regarding future planning and the appointment of Directors to committees of our Board;

·                  Administering a policy for evaluating and considering nominees for election to the Board;

·                  Overseeing the evaluation of our Board as a whole;

·                  Reviewing our corporate governance principles and providing recommendations to the Board regarding possible changes; and

·                  Developing and reviewing our Code of Ethics and assuring that it is appropriate for us.

Selection of Board Nominees

In identifying Board nominees, we may consider individuals who are known to our officers or Directors, or individuals with significant industry or other relevant experience. Following the establishment of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has reviewed the qualifications of potential Director candidates in accordance with its Charter.

13

Table of Contents

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s consideration of a candidate as a Director includes assessment of the individual’s understanding of our business, the individual’s professional and educational background, skills, expertise, potential time commitment, and other criteria established by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee from time to time. To provide such a contribution to us, a Director must generally possess one or more of the following, in addition to personal and professional integrity:

·                  Experience in corporate management;

·                  Experience in our industry;

·                  Experience as a board member or officer of a publicly held company;

·                  Experience in financial and accounting matters;

·                  Diversity of expertise and experience in substantive matters related to our business; and

·                  Practical and mature business judgment.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has adopted its own procedures for evaluating the suitability of potential Director nominees, including qualifications for a “financial expert” and financially literate members for the Audit Committee.

Succession Planning Committee

In May 2011, the Board of Directors established a Succession Planning Committee and appointed Mr. Tinstman as Committee Chair with Mr. Pratt, our CEO, and Mr. Cook, our independent Lead Director, as members. The purpose of the Committee is to coordinate the efforts of the Board and executive management in establishing the processes, procedures and practices that the Board and management will use to meet their succession planning responsibilities, including succession with respect to the position of CEO. In addition, the Committee has established contingency plans for the departure, death or disability of our CEO.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board is responsible for oversight of our Company’s risks. As with all companies, and especially with construction companies, we face a variety of risks in our business. Many of these risks are discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015.

The Board believes that having a system in place for risk management and implementing strategies responsive to our risk profile and exposures is the best way to identify in a timely manner specific material risks, but we can give no assurances that we will be able to identify or mitigate all possible risks in advance. In order to more efficiently provide oversight of these material risks, the Board has designated certain risk oversight responsibilities to relevant Board committees. The Audit Committee has the direct responsibility for risk oversight relating to accounting matters, financial reporting, enterprise, legal and compliance risks. To assist in this risk oversight function, the Audit Committee obtains assistance from the following: (1) our Chief Financial Officer, who is responsible for managing our risk management function, (2) our General Counsel, who is responsible for the Company’s third party insurance programs and (3) our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee meets periodically with management and the independent auditors to review financial exposures. The Compensation Committee is responsible for risks related to employment policies and our compensation and benefits systems. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risks associated with our Code of Conduct, including compliance with listing standards for independent Directors and committee assignments. As necessary, the committee chairmen report any risk-related matters to the full Board at Board of Directors meetings.

While the Board is responsible for risk oversight, the day-to-day risk management is the responsibility of the operating management and executive officers. Our executive officers maintain a significant ownership interest which results in an increased level of awareness of the need of risk management and risk oversight for the long-term benefit of the Company.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a Code of Ethics that complies with the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC and NASDAQ listing standards and are applicable to all of our Directors, officers and employees. The Code of Ethics is available on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.prim.com. We intend to post amendments to, or waivers, if any, from our Code of Ethics (to the extent applicable to our Directors or Chief Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or Principal Accounting Officer) at this location on our website. Among other matters, this Code of Ethics is designed to promote:

·                  Honest and ethical conduct;

·                  Avoidance of conflicts of interest;

·                  Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in our other public communications;

·                  Compliance with applicable governmental laws and regulations and stock exchange rules;

·                  Prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics; and

·                  Accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics.

Policy Regarding Director Attendance at Annual Meetings of Stockholders

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Our Board has adopted a written policy requiring review, approval and ratification of any related party transaction. All related party transactions may be consummated and continued only if the Audit Committee has approved or ratified such transaction after a review of the relevant facts and circumstances.

The following is a description of related party transactions to which we have been a party, in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000, other than compensation and employment arrangements described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The descriptions are for the periods during 2012, 2013, 2014 and during the current period. We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s length transactions with independent third parties.

From time to time we have entered into various leasing transactions with Stockdale Investment Group, Inc. (“SIGI”).  Our majority stockholder, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, Brian Pratt, also holds a majority interest in SIGI and is the chairman, president and chief executive officer and a director of SIGI.  John M. Perisich, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, is secretary of SIGI.  During 2014 and the current period, we continued with the following related party transactions:

The Company leases properties from SIGI at the following locations:

·                  Bakersfield, California (lease expires October 2022)

·                  Pittsburg, California (lease expires April 2023)

·                  San Dimas, California (lease expires March 2019)

·                  Pasadena, Texas (lease was mutually terminated as of August 31, 2014)

During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $862,000, $907,000 and $929,000, respectively, in lease payments to SIGI for the use of these properties.

Primoris leases a property from Roger Newnham, a former owner and current employee of our subsidiary, OnQuest Canada, ULC.  The property is located in Calgary, Canada.  During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 Primoris paid $289,000, $295,000 and $292,000, respectively, in lease payments.  The current term of the lease is through December 31, 2017.

Primoris leases a property from Lemmie Rockford, one of the Rockford sellers, which commenced November 1, 2011.  The property is located in Toledo, Washington.  During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Primoris paid $90,000, $90,000 and $90,000, respectively, in lease payments.  The current term of the lease is through January 13, 2016.

Primoris leases a property from Quality RE Partners, owned by three of the Q3C selling shareholders, of whom two are current employees, including Jay Osborn, President of Q3C.  The property is located in Little Canada, Minnesota.  During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company paid $264,000 and $264,000, respectively, in lease payments to Quality RE Partners.  The lease expires in October 2022.

We believe that the amounts that we pay for the leases approximate terms that we could obtain from independent third parties.  In addition, any new leases, extensions of lease terms and changes in lease terms or amounts must be approved in advance by the independent directors of the Board of Directors Audit Committee.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Directors who also are employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for serving as Directors. Compensation for employee Directors is determined by the Board’s Compensation Committee and is discussed further in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy.

As part of its annual review of Director compensation and after discussions with its independent compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee recommended on May 2, 2014, that Director compensation be increased over the levels established in May 2012.  The independent Directors of the Board of Directors adopted the recommendation.

Current compensation, effective July 1, 2014, includes the following components:

·                  Cash payments of $34,833 made for the second and fourth calendar quarters of each year.

·                  In lieu of cash payments for the first and third calendar quarters of each year, the Directors are issued Common Stock with an approximate aggregate value of $45,834 each. The Common Stock cannot be traded for a period of one year from the date of issuance. The number of shares is determined using the average of the closing prices of the Company’s Common Stock on NASDAQ for the one-month period prior to the beginning of the quarter. The shares are issued pursuant to the Primoris 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, approved by the stockholders on May 3, 2013 (“Equity Plan”).

·                  Additional annual cash compensation as follows:

·                  $20,000 to the Chairman of the Audit Committee;

·                  $15,000 to the Chairman of the Compensation Committee; and

·                  $15,000 to the non-employee chairman of any other committees established by the Board of Directors.

In addition, Directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with Board and Board Committee meetings and assignments.

The table below details the compensation earned by our non-employee Directors in 2014.

(1)         The non-employee Directors were each issued 1,275 shares of Common Stock in February 2014 and 1,543 shares in September 2014. The shares were issued under the Equity Plan and are subject to a one-year contractual holding requirement. The aggregate market value of the shares on the date received was $85,701 for 2014. The Company has never issued stock options as Director compensation and there were no outstanding equity awards as of March 31, 2015.

(2)         Represents the payments for the period January 1, 2014 through May 1, 2014 as Mr. Rosenfeld’s term ended at the May 2014 Annual Meeting.

To our knowledge, the persons named in the table have “sole voting and investment power” and “shared voting and investment power”, with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

*                                    Indicates beneficial ownership of less than one percent of total outstanding Common Stock.

(1)         This table lists voting securities, including shares held of record, shares held by a bank, broker or nominee for the person’s interest and shares held through family trust arrangements.

(2)         For each individual and group included in the table, percentage ownership is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person or group plus the number of shares of Common Stock that such person or group has the right to acquire on or within 60 days after March 31, 2015 divided by the sum of the 51,666,118 shares of Common Stock outstanding on March 31, 2015, plus the number of shares of Common Stock that such person or group has the right to acquire on or within 60 days after March 31, 2015, or 51,716,286 shares.

(3)         Includes 11,184,008 shares of Common Stock held directly by Brian Pratt and indirectly by Barbara Pratt, as the spouse of Mr. Pratt, and 97,810 shares of Common Stock owned directly by Ms. Pratt and indirectly by Mr. Pratt.

(6)         Includes 10,678 shares of Common Stock held directly by Thomas E. Tucker, 4,035 shares of Common Stock held by the Tucker Family Trust U/A dated 12/21/1998, a revocable trust, of which Thomas E. Tucker is a trustee and beneficiary, 303 shares of Common Stock held by SaraJen Capital, LLC, a California limited liability company, of which Mr. Tucker is a one-third member and sole manager with full dispositive power over such shares, and 2,833 shares of Common Stock held by Josephine Tucker-Arenson TTEE U/A DTD 4-30-1996, of which Mr. Tucker holds power of attorney.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, Directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of securities ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, and based solely on our review of the copies of such reports furnished to us and written representations from our executive officers and Directors, we believe that all reports needed to be filed by current Section 16 reporting persons were timely filed for the year ended December 31, 2014 and through April 6, 2015, with the exception of one Form 4 for Brian Pratt for 8,000 shares and four Form 4 reports filed on March 27, 2015 for restricted stock issued to the independent Directors on February 24, 2015 as part of their first quarter Director compensation program.  Each of the four Directors, Messrs Brown, Cook, Tinstman and Tucker, were issued 2,042 shares of common stock.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This section explains the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors oversight of our executive compensation program and discusses compensation earned by the following executive officers who are considered “Named Executive Officers”: (i) our Chief Executive Officer, (ii) our Chief Financial Officer, (iii) two other executive officers, and (iv) our two most highly compensated employees who are not executive officers. For 2014, our Named Executive Officers were:

·                  Brian Pratt, 63, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President;

·                  Peter J. Moerbeek, 67, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer;

·                  David King, 62, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer;

·                  John M. Perisich, 50, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary;

·                  Timothy R. Healy, 55, Co-President, ARB, Inc. (Industrial); and

·                  James G. Henry, 54, President, Primoris Energy Services.

At December 31, 2014, the first four individuals listed above were the only executive officers of the Company.

Our management compensation programs apply broadly to all officers and management persons at the Company with modifications to reflect the different management levels and types of responsibilities. The Company’s goal is to align compensation so that all management is committed to the Company’s corporate objectives of achieving both near- and long-term profitable growth.

In overseeing the executive compensation policies and practices for the Company, the Compensation Committee recognizes several unique cultural elements associated with the transition from a successful privately owned company to a successful publicly traded company. Our present CEO became majority owner of the private company in 1983 and has served as CEO since that time.  In July 2008, just prior to the time that we became a publicly traded company, ownership was held by 42 employees, directors and associates, all of whom had purchased their ownership interest. Many of these former owners remain executives and managers at this time. This ownership has helped to align the interests of the Company’s executives and managers with those of our stockholders.  For example, the ownership culture has emphasized a focus on the continuing strength of our balance sheet, as reflected by such metrics as tangible net worth and cash collected, as well as on earnings.

Prior to becoming a public company, it was our practice to provide annual discretionary bonus awards based both on overall financial and non-financial performance. These discretionary awards were not tied to attaining a specific financial result; that is, there was no mathematical formula for determining bonus amounts. To date, the Compensation Committee has retained the program in place at the time we became a public company. As discussed below, the Compensation Committee reviews salary and annual bonus amounts compared to salary and bonus levels of prior years and to the Company’s overall performance.

To help maintain the ownership culture, the Compensation Committee has approved the following:

·                  For significant acquisitions, the issuance of shares as part of the purchase price, especially to owners who will continue as Company employees;

·                  Grant of 100,000 Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) vesting over a four-year period to our Chief Financial Officer and 48,512 Units vesting over a three-year period to our Chief Operating Officer; and

·                  Issuing of discounted shares to executives and managers as part of our Long-term Retention Plan (“LTR Plan”).

Based on our overall financial performance since becoming a public company and the fact that there has been minimal turn-over at the senior and executive management levels of the Company, we believe that our current compensation practices and ownership culture has served us and our stockholders well.

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee recognizes that as the Company grows, as some executives roles change and as new executives are recruited, we may need to consider changes that could align our practices more closely with those of other publicly traded companies. These practices may include establishment of more formulaic annual incentive calculations, a more formulaic total bonus amount and an increased emphasis on equity awards.  In addition, opportunity for equity awards may be required to attract executives.  The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of its independent consultant, continues to monitor the need for changes to the compensation practices that may be aligned more closely with the market practices.  As these changes may occur, the Compensation Committee’s intent is ensuring continuation of the elements of the culture that has led to the Company’s success.

2014 Performance Highlights

To put the compensation decisions in context, the following summarizes the Company’s results for 2014:

·                  Revenues increased by 7.3% from 2013 to a record $2.1 billion; however, earnings per share decreased by 9.6% to $1.22 per share compared to $1.35 per share in 2013.

·                  Total stockholder return for the five-year period ending December 31, 2014 was in excess of 200%; however, for the year 2014, total shareholder return decreased by 24.5%.

·                  In 2014, cash flow from operations was $36.1 million and the year-end cash, cash equivalents and short term investment total was $170.5 million compared to 2013 cash flow from operations of $77.7 million and year-end cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $214.8 million

·                  Tangible net worth increased by $61 million to $294.8 million

The Committee recognized that the decrease in revenue, margin and earnings occurred primarily in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, and that the decrease was primarily the result of project delays by customers and a difficult comparison to the very successful fourth quarter of 2013.  The Committee noted that the Company’s share price decreased by 40.4% from June 30, 2014 to March 31, 2015.  For the 10 companies identified in the “Role of Benchmarking” paragraph below and including the Company, the mean share price decline for the period was 32.5% and the median price decline was 37.4% reflecting primarily the significant impact of the decline in the price of oil for the period.

Compensation Philosophy

Our goal is to create an executive compensation program that will adequately reward our executives for their roles in creating both near-term and long-term value for our stockholders without encouraging or rewarding excessive risk. Our Compensation Committee is charged with reviewing our executive officers’ cash compensation and equity holdings to determine whether these provide adequate incentives and motivation to our executive officers and whether they adequately compensate the executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies within our industry.  Our goal is to be competitive with other similarly situated companies in our industry and to attract, retain and motivate key executives.

Processes and Procedures for Determining Executive Compensation

The following describes the roles of the key participants and sources of information in the process of setting compensation.

The Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves compensation and benefit policies and objectives, determines whether our officers, Directors and employees are compensated in general according to these objectives, and carries out certain of the Board’s responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executives. The Compensation Committee operates under a charter approved by the Board. All of the Compensation Committee members meet the NASDAQ independence standards, are “Non-employee” Directors as defined by the Exchange Act and are “outside Directors” as defined by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

For our executive’s compensation, the Compensation Committee approves the structure of the compensation program and directly sets compensation for eight of the Company’s senior officers, including all named executive officers. The Compensation Committee is involved in all matters where approval is appropriate for tax or regulatory reasons.

The Role of the Board of Directors

The Board provides final approval of Compensation Committee recommendations for compensation changes for the executive officers. This approval is obtained at an independent Director session without the presence of management Directors.

The Role of Executives

Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for reviewing the compensation and performance of all the executive officers. He makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee for adjustments in compensation for the executive officers, for discretionary annual short-term bonus amounts and for any other compensation changes including any equity awards. The Compensation

21

Table of Contents

Committee relies on the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations and on its evaluation of current individual and business performance and historical individual and business performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is not present in and does not participate in the discussion of any elements of his compensation with the Compensation Committee.

Our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer facilitates the flow of information among the Company, the compensation consultant and the Compensation Committee. In this role, he communicates with the compensation consultant at the direction of the Compensation Committee.

The Role of External Advisors

The Compensation Committee has engaged Pay Governance, LLC as an independent consulting resource to help it with its responsibilities. Information and advice provided by Pay Governance includes a review and critique of our executive compensation philosophy and strategies; a periodic competitive analysis of competition program design; and presenting updates on market trends. Pay Governance attends Compensation Committee meetings as requested by the Compensation Committee and conducts private meetings with the Compensation Committee without management representatives at the Committee’s request.

The Role of Benchmarking

We believe that it may be helpful when making compensation-related decisions to be aware of current practices at similarly situated publicly held companies in the engineering, construction and related industries. The Compensation Committee, with assistance from its independent consultant, periodically considers the compensation levels at other companies in our industry. We do not view benchmarking as a stand-alone tool for setting compensation due to the aspects of our business and objectives that may be unique to us.  In using its collective judgment in setting executive pay, the Compensation Committee may use benchmarking as one consideration; however, at this time the Compensation Committee’s decisions are based primarily on recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the executive’s performance, the overall Company performance and our overall compensation strategy.  We reviewed the most recent proxy information available for the following 10 publicly traded engineering and construction companies (primarily 2013 information):  Chicago Bridge & Iron Company, EMCOR Group, Inc., Fluor Corporation, Granite Construction, Inc., KBR, Mastec, Inc., Matrix Service Company, Quanta Services, Inc., Sterling Construction Company, Inc. and Willbros Group, Inc.  We found that our CEO’s total compensation was below that of all the other companies’ CEOs on an absolute basis and was next to the bottom when the total compensation was normalized for revenue for the last twelve months.

Elements of Executive Officer Compensation

The primary elements of our executive officer compensation program consist of base salary, an annual short-term bonus, and participation in the Company’s LTR Plan which can assist in accumulation of equity.

·                  Base salary provides a fixed level of cash compensation that recognizes the value of an individual’s role in the Company.  Salary is influenced by the executive’s specific role and responsibilities, the executive’s skill and performance and the executive’s experience, as well as the executive’s future potential and internal pay equity. The executive’s compensation has two primary components: salary and the annual long-term retention plan which includes both cash and equity. We view the two components of executive compensation as related, but each is a distinct part of overall compensation. Although our Compensation Committee reviews total compensation, we do not believe that significant compensation derived from one component of compensation should negate or reduce compensation from other components. We anticipate determining the appropriate level for each compensation component based in part, but not exclusively, on our view of internal equity and consistency, individual performance and other information deemed relevant and timely.

·                  Annual short-term bonuses provide a cash incentive bonus to focus executives on achieving key operational and financial objectives within a yearly time horizon and to provide a reward for annual performance.  We do not have a specific award opportunity target amount.  All of our executive officers are participants in the LTR Plan and annual bonus amounts are paid out under the terms of that Plan.

The LTR Plan combines elements of an annual bonus and a longer-term equity opportunity with the intent to provide an incentive for continuing employment. Under terms of the LTR Plan, annual bonus amounts are paid over a two-year period with one-half of the amount payable immediately and one-half deferred for one year. The deferred amount is a general obligation of the Company, but provides no interest or other income to the participants. Except in the case of death, disability or involuntary separation from service, the deferred compensation is generally vested to the participant only if employed by the Company on the payment date of bonus amounts the following year. The amount of compensation deferred under this plan is calculated each year based on the current year bonus amount.  Participation in the LTR Plan is based on the

22

Table of Contents

recommendation of a senior manager and approval of the Chief Executive Officer and is elective to each participant. Participants have the ability to voluntarily resign from the plan effective at the end of each calendar year.

·                  Equity awards provide an opportunity to align the interests of executives with stockholders by linking a portion of the executive’s compensation opportunity to share price performance. Equity awards also help provide long-term accountability for executives by offering opportunity for capital accumulation for executives.

For 2014, the LTR Plan allows each participant the opportunity to designate an amount of their annual bonus to purchase Company Common Stock at a 25% discount to the average market price of the Company’s shares for the month of December 2014, which was $22.45 per share, resulting in LTR Plan shares being purchased at $16.84 per share.  Each participant can designate up to 16.67% of their annual bonus; the designation must have been made prior to the end of December 2014.  Discounted shares purchased cannot be sold for six months after issuance. Shares are issued under the provisions of our 2013 Equity Plan which was approved by our stockholders and adopted by the Company on May 3, 2013.

In addition to the LTR Plan, the Compensation Committee considers and approves any recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer for special equity awards for retention, hiring or other purposes.

In 2013, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of 100,000 restricted stock units (“Units”) vesting over a four-year period to our CFO for retention purposes.  In 2014, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of 45,812 Units to our COO for hiring purposes.

·                  Benefit plans provide for opportunities to contribute to retirement savings and promote health and wellness.  We have established and maintain various employee benefit plans, including medical, dental, life insurance and 401(k) plans.  These plans are available to all employees and do not discriminate in favor of executive officers. We may provide some other perquisites to our executives that are not available to our employees generally.

Compensation Committee Pay Decisions

2014 Base Salary Amounts

In accordance with Company practices, base salaries for all employees are reviewed annually in July. The following table shows changes approved by the Compensation Committee which were effective on July 28, 2014:

Annual Short-Term Bonus Amounts

The Compensation Committee recognizes that historically there have been no specific targets against which to calculate annual bonus amounts. While the goal of the executive management team is to continue to profitably grow the value of the business over the long term, it has been the Company’s practice not to set specific individual goals for any of the executives at the start of each year. Instead, at the end of the year, the Chief Executive Officer and the Compensation Committee review the overall performance of the Company and the contributions made by the top eight executives.

In determining its recommendations for 2014, the Compensation Committee recognized the Company’s overall performance as summarized in the 2014 Highlights section above, and the Compensation Committee discussed with the Chief Executive Officer the performance of the executive management team. The Compensation Committee then met in executive session to make its recommendations using its professional judgment and experience and a comparison to prior performance and annual award levels.  The Compensation Committee approved overall bonus amounts for the Company and recommended annual bonus amounts for the following executive officers. These recommendations were approved by the independent Directors of the Board, voting in an executive session.

Equity Awards

All of the named executive officers are participants at the maximum level in the LTR Plan.  The executives designated $350,000 of their bonus amount to purchase 20,788 shares, representing 21.5% of the total shares purchased under the LTR Plan.

On May 3, 2013, the Board, approved a grant of 100,000 restricted stock units (“Units”) to Peter J. Moerbeek, our CFO.  Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock. On the grant date, the market value was $21.98 per Unit. Commencing annually on May 10, 2014 and ending April 30, 2017, the Units will vest in four equal installments.  As of March 31, 2015, a total of 25,000 Units had vested, with these vested Units accruing “Dividend Equivalent Units” (as defined in the Equity Plan).  At March 31, 2015, a total of 168 Dividend Equivalent Units were accrued and vested.  In the event of termination not for cause, disability, death or on a change of control, as these terms are defined in the Unit agreement, vesting will be accelerated.

On March 24, 2014, the Board granted 48,512 Units to David King, our COO, which had a market value of $30.92 per Unit on the grant date.  The Units vest 50% on September 23, 2015 and 50% on March 23, 2017.  Additional Units will be earned as “Dividend Equivalents Units” on vested Units.  None of these Units were vested at March 31, 2015.  In the event of termination not for cause, disability, death or on a change of control, as these terms are defined in the Unit agreement, vesting will be accelerated.

CEO Pay Decision for 2014

During 2014, the Compensation Committee evaluated the performance of the CEO, Mr. Pratt, and made two pay decisions.  In July the Committee increased his base salary by 12.5% based on the fact that his salary had not been increased for two years, his overall low compensation compared to his peers and the strong 2013 financial performance of the Company.  In determining Mr. Pratt’s 2014 bonus amount, the Committee considered the disappointing financial performance of the Company in the fourth quarter and considered Mr. Pratt’s recommendation that the bonus amounts for executive officers, including himself, should reflect the decrease in net income for the Company compared to 2013.  The Committee considered that financial performance is not the only criterion for determining Mr. Pratt’s bonus, and that Mr. Pratt made many contributions in 2014 that have not yet been reflected in the Company’s earnings.  After deliberations, the Committee concluded that the 80% reduction in Mr. Pratt’s bonus from the previous year was appropriate.

The Compensation Committee recognizes that Mr. Pratt’s compensation is significantly below that of his peers. The Committee is aware of the benefit, including dividends, which he receives from his large equity ownership position, but the Committee anticipates that at a future date, it may determine to significantly increase Mr. Pratt’s compensation to reflect market conditions.

Other Compensation Items

Pay Recoupment (Clawback) Policy

At this time, the following applies to executive officers: If the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company as a result of misconduct with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, any participant who knowingly or through gross negligence engaged in the misconduct, or who knowingly or through gross negligence failed to prevent the misconduct, and any participant who is one of the individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, shall reimburse the Company the amount of any payment in settlement of an Award earned or accrued during the twelve (12) month period following the first public issuance or filing with the SEC (whichever first occurred) of the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement. The Board has sole discretion to make any and all decisions under this policy.

Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee considered the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices for executive officers and determined that it did not identify any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This conclusion was based on the following considerations:

24

Table of Contents

·                  Extensive stock ownership by the executive management team.

·                  Conservative amount of the discretionary annual incentive compensation.

·                  Balanced approach to viewing Company performance and determining bonuses.

·                  Long-term nature of the executive team evidenced by negligible turn-over in executive management over time.

Executive Ownership Guidelines

We encourage our executives to own Company Common Stock because we believe that stock ownership provides a strong alignment of interests between executives and stockholders. Because most of our executives were significant owners in our predecessor companies or acquired significant stock ownership at the time of an acquisition, the Compensation Committee does not believe that a specific stock ownership goal would be meaningful at this time. Currently our Named Executive Officers own 23.0% percent of our total shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Tax Matters

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for compensation over $1 million in any one year with respect to its CEO and each of the next three most highly compensated executive officers (excluding the CFO). Certain performance-based compensation, however, is not subject to the deduction limit. The Company structured the 2013 Equity Plan, with the intention that certain performance awards made under the plan would qualify for tax deductibility. The 2013 Equity Plan was approved by our stockholders at the 2013 Annual Meeting of the Stockholders on May 3, 2013. However, the Compensation Committee recognizes that certain incentive or retention stock awards may not qualify for tax deductibility above the Section 162(m) $1 million limitation.

Employment Agreements for Named Executive Officers

From time to time, the Company or its subsidiaries, have entered into employment agreements with its executive officers. At this time, none of the Named Executive Officers are covered under the terms of an employment agreement.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy Statement. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included herein and incorporated by reference into the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Compensation Tables

Summary Compensation Table.  The following table and accompanying notes provide summary information with respect to total compensation earned or paid by us or our subsidiaries to our Named Executive Officers.

(1)                      Salary includes all regular wages paid to the Named Executive Officer and any amount that was voluntarily deferred by the Named Executive Officer pursuant to our 401(k) Plan.

(2)                     Bonus amounts shown in this column includes any bonus amount that has been deferred to the following year under the Company’s LTR Plan. Participants in the LTR Plan must defer 50% of the annual award. Except in case of death, disability, retirement, involuntary separation from service, or approval by a special LTR Plan committee, the deferred compensation amount is paid to the participant only if employed by the Company on the payment date of bonus amounts the following year.

(3)                     On May 3, 2013, the Board, approved a grant of 100,000 Units to Mr. Moerbeek.  Each Unit represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock. Commencing annually on May 10, 2014 and ending April 30, 2017, the Units will vest in four equal installments.  As of March 31, 2015, a total of 25,000 Units had been vested, with the vested Units accruing “Dividend Equivalent Units” (as defined in the Equity Plan) and is reflected as additional compensation earned by Mr. Moerbeek.  At March 31, 2015, there were a total of 168 Dividend Equivalent Units accrued and vested.  An additional 25,000 Units will vest on April 30, 2015.

On March 24, 2014, the Board granted 48,512 Units to David King, our COO.  Such Units vest 50% on September 23, 2015 and 50% on March 23, 2017.  Similarly, additional Units will be earned as “Dividend Equivalent Units” on vested Units.  None of these Units were vested at March 31, 2015.

Table of Contents

The amount shown in this column represents the aggregate grant date fair value of the Units granted by our Board of Directors computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718.  The fair value on the grant date for the Mr. Moerbeek Units was $21.98 per share and for Mr. King was $30.92 per share, both based on the market closing price of our stock on the grant date. These amounts reflect our accounting expense to be recognized over the vesting period of the Unit’s awarded, and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized by the Named Executive Officer.  No Units were granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2012.

(4)                     All other compensation for the Named Executive Officers includes the following:

(a)         All participants in the LTR Plan have the ability to purchase Company Stock at a 25% discount to the market price using up to one sixth of the participant’s current year earned bonus amount.  For 2014 participants, the discounted price was $16.84 per share based on the average closing price of the shares in December 2014.  For 2013 participants, the discounted price was $21.57 per share based on the average closing price of the shares in December 2013. For 2012 participants, the discounted price was $11.02 per share based on the average closing price of the shares in December 2012. The amounts shown in this column represent the difference between the discounted purchase price and the market price on the date that the executive was issued the shares.

(b)         For 2014, the Company determined the value of personal use of the Company aircraft by the aggregate incremental cost to the Company, based on the cost of fuel, trip-related maintenance, crew travel expenses, landing fees, trip-related hangar costs and smaller variable costs. For tax purposes, income is imputed to the executive for non-business travel based on a multiple of the Standard Industry Fare Level (SIFL) rates.

For prior years, the amount charged to the executive as compensation for use of the Company airplane is based on equivalent aircraft charter rates in the southern United States geographic areas. Compensation is based on non-business-related airborne hours.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards, Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End, Options Exercised and Stock Grants Vested

The following table sets forth information regarding the Restricted Stock Units (“Units”) granted to our Named Executive Officers during 2014 and 2013 under the 2013 Equity Plan.

Table of Contents

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

(a)         The Unit awards reported in this column and the “Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards” column represent long-term equity incentive awards granted by the Board of Directors under the 2013 Equity Plan.  Excluded from this table are the Dividend Equivalent Units provided for under the RSU grant, totaling 168 Dividend Equivalent Units accrued and vested at March 31, 2015.  These equity awards are disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal years 2014 and 2013 and the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table and therefore does not constitute additional compensation not otherwise reported in this Proxy Statement.

(b)         The fair value of the Units are based on the closing market price of our Common Stock on the grant date.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

(a)         Equity awards listed in this column represent restricted stock units (“Units”) awarded to the Named Executive Officers under the 2013 Equity Plan.

A total of 25,000 Units granted to Mr. Moerbeek vest annually beginning on May 10, 2014 and ending April 30, 2017.  As of March 31, 2015, a total of 25,000 Units had vested, with a total of 168 “Dividend Equivalent Units” (as defined in the Equity Plan) that were accrued and vested as of March 31, 2015.  An additional 25,000 Units will vest on April 30, 2015.

The Units granted to Mr. King will vest 50% on September 23, 2015 and 50% on March 23, 2017.  Similarly, additional Units will be earned as “Dividend Equivalent Units” on his vested Units.  None of Mr. King’s Units were vested at December 31, 2015.

(b)         Market value is calculated by multiplying the number of Units that have not vested by the closing market price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2014, which was $23.24 per share.

Other than the Unit grants described above, there were no grants of plan-based awards to the Named Executive Officers during the calendar years 2014, 2013 or 2012. The LTR Plan provides participants an option to buy shares at a discount but does not grant shares of stock. The purchased shares are issued under the 2013 Equity Plan.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The Company has adopted a long-term incentive plan for certain managers and its senior executives.  The plan provides for both the deferral of one-half of each participant’s annual earned bonus for one year and, allows the participant the opportunity to purchase Company Common Stock at a 25% discount to the market price for up to one-sixth of the participants earned bonus amount.

Table of Contents

Shares are issued under provisions of the 2013 Equity Plan. Other than the Units issued to our CFO and COO, there were no other grants of plan-based awards made in the current fiscal year, nor in prior years.

The following table lists the number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Named Executive Officers under the long-term incentive plan for each year:

Each of the Named Executive Officers purchased the maximum number of shares allowed under the terms of the LTR Plan, representing 21.5% and 23.4% of the purchases for the 2014 and 2013 LTR Plan years, respectively.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

As discussed above, the Company does not have employment agreements with any of its Named Executive Officers.
