Information Concerning the Board of Directors
 
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
 
The Board does not have a policy requiring separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Nevertheless, Michael N. Taglich is Chairman of the Board and Daniel R. Godin is Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
The Board has determined that a non-employee director serving as Chairman is in the best interests of our stockholders at this time. This structure ensures a greater role of non-employee Directors in the active oversight of our business, including risk management oversight, and in setting agendas and establishing Board priorities and procedures. This structure also allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus to a greater extent on the management of our day-to-day operations.
 
The Board of Directors as a whole is responsible for consideration and oversight of risks facing the Company, and is responsible for ensuring that material risks are identified and managed appropriately. Certain risks are overseen by committees of the Board of Directors and these committees make reports to the full Board of Directors, including reports on noteworthy risk-management issues. Members of the Company’s senior management team regularly report to the full Board about their areas of responsibility and a component of these reports is risk within the area of responsibility and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Additional review or reporting on risks is conducted as needed or as requested by the Board or one of its committees.
 
Board Independence
 
Our Board of Directors has determined that Robert Schroeder, Seymour G. Siegel, David Buonanno and Michael Brand are "independent directors" within the meaning of NYSE MKT Rule 803A(2).
 
Director Compensation
 
 
2

 
 
Non-employee Directors are entitled to receive compensation for serving as directors and may receive option grants from our company. Each Director also is entitled to be repaid or prepaid all traveling, hotel and incidental expenses reasonably incurred or expected to be incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors or committees of our Board of Directors or shareholder meetings or otherwise in connection with the discharge of his duties as a Director. The compensation committee will assist the directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure for our directors.
 
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the compensation paid to our directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

Board Meetings; Committees and Membership
 
The Board of Directors held three meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”).

We maintain the following committees of the Board of Directors: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee. Each committee is comprised entirely of directors who are “independent” within the meaning of NYSE MKT Rule 803A(2). Each committee acts pursuant to a separate written charter, and each such charter has been adopted and approved by the Board of Directors. Copies of the committee charters are available on our website at airindustriesgroup.com under the heading “Investor Relations.”

In determining the incentive component of CEO compensation, the Committee will consider, among other factors, the Company’s performance and relative stockholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to CEOs at comparable companies, the awards given to the CEO in past years, and such other factors as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our Directors, Executive Officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports of their holdings of, and transactions in, our common stock.

In addition, Mr. Godin receives a car allowance of $800 per month and is eligible to participate in such health and welfare plans as are made available to our executives generally.

Executive Compensation Policies as They Relate to Risk Management

The Compensation Committee and management have considered whether our compensation policies might encourage inappropriate risk taking by the Company’s executive officers and other employees. The Compensation Committee has determined that the current compensation structure aligns the interests of the executive officers with those of the Company without providing rewards for excessive risk taking by awarding a mix of fixed and performance based or discretionary bonuses with the performance based compensation focused on profits as opposed to revenue growth.

During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, less than 1% of the total compensation paid to employees was paid in performance-based compensation, including commissions and bonuses.

 
Equity Awards – 2015
 
The following table shows the grant of equity awards in the form of options to James Sartori who was our only named Executive Officer to receive an equity award during 2015. We did not grant any equity awards in the form of shares to any of the named Executive Officers during 2015 and consequently have omitted those columns from the table which would have described such awards.

Equity Incentive Plans
 
We have two equity incentive plans, the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which our Board of Directors adopted in March 2015 and our stockholders approved in June 2015, and the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which our Board of Directors adopted in May 2013 and our stockholders approved in July 2013.   The 2015 Plan is virtually identical to the 2013 Plan, except that the 2015 Plan authorized the issuance of 350,000 shares of Common Stock and the 2013 Plan authorized the issuance of 600,000 shares. As of March 31, 2016, options to purchase 564,342 shares remain outstanding and no shares remained available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Our Policy Concerning Transactions with Related Persons
 
Under Item 404 of SEC Regulation S-K, a related person transaction is any actual or proposed transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, including those involving indebtedness not in the ordinary course of business, to which we or our subsidiaries were or are a party, or in which we or our subsidiaries were or are a participant, in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years and in which any of our directors, nominees for director, executive officers, beneficial owners of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities (a “significant shareholder”), or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
 
We recognize that transactions between us and any of our Directors or Executives or with a third party in which one of our officers, directors or significant shareholders has an interest can present potential or actual conflicts of interest and create the appearance that our decisions are based on considerations other than the best interests of our Company and stockholders.
 
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is charged with responsibility for reviewing, approving and overseeing any transaction between the Company and any related person (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K), including the propriety and ethical implications of any such transactions, as reported or disclosed to the Committee by the independent auditors, employees, officers, members of the Board of Directors or otherwise, and to determine whether the terms of the transaction are not less favorable to us than could be obtained from an unaffiliated party.
 
Transactions with Related Persons
 
The following includes a summary of transactions since January 1, 2014, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
 
On January 1, 2014, we entered into a Capital Market Advisory Agreement with Taglich Brothers pursuant to which Taglich Brothers provides us, on a non-exclusive basis, business advisory services for a monthly fee of $7,000 and a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.72 per share. This agreement renews annually.
 
In connection with our public offering of 1,170,000 shares of common stock completed on June 3, 2014, we paid Taglich Brothers, which acted as placement agent for the offering, $842,400, representing 8% of the gross proceeds of the offering as a sales commission, plus an additional $75,000 in reimbursement of counsel fees. In addition, we granted Taglich Brothers placement agent warrants to purchase 46,800 shares of common stock, representing 4% of the shares sold in the offering as additional compensation. The warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis at a per share exercise price equal to $11.25, commencing May 29, 2015 and expiring May 28, 2019.
 
We paid Taglich Brothers a total of $18,000 ($1,500 per month) during 2014 for posting its research reports on our company on its website pursuant to a research distribution agreement and $6,000 to date during 2015.

On September 8, 2015, the Company borrowed $350,000 from Michael Taglich, a director of the Company, and issued its promissory notes in the principal amount of $350,000 to evidence its obligation to repay that indebtedness. The notes bear interest at the rate of 4% per annum and is payable on September 7, 2016.

On April 8, 2016, the Company borrowed $350,000 from each of Michael N. Taglich and Robert F. Taglich, directors of the Company, and issued its promissory notes in the principal amount of $350,000 to evidence its obligation to repay that indebtedness. The notes bear interest at the rate of 7% per annum and are payable on June 30, 2016, or earlier upon the Company’s receipt of proceeds from the sale of its equity securities in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000.

The foregoing transactions were reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee or our Board of Directors. We believe that the terms of each transaction were not less favorable to us than those terms that could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services.

 
As required by our Audit Committee charter, our Audit Committee pre-approved the engagement of Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla, P.C. for all audit and permissible non-audit services. The Audit Committee annually reviews the audit and permissible non-audit services performed by our principal accounting firm and reviews and approves the fees charged by our principal accounting firm. The Audit Committee has considered the role of Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla, P.C. in providing tax and audit services and other permissible non-audit services to us and has concluded that the provision of such services, if any, was compatible with the maintenance of such firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.
 
During fiscal year 2015 and fiscal year 2014, the aggregate fees which we paid to or were billed by Rotenberg Meril Solomon Bertiger & Guttilla, P.C. for professional services were as follows:

(2) Fees for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, such as audit attest services not required by statute or regulation, and consultation concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.
