PROXY STATEMENT

We are furnishing this Proxy Statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of PFSweb, Inc. (“PFSweb,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at Hilton Garden Inn, Allen, Texas, on Wednesday, July 3, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. and at any and all adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting, the accompanying proxy and the Annual Report on Form 10-K are first being mailed to stockholders on or about June 7, 2013.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD JULY 3, 2013:

The enclosed proxy statement and 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available at www.pfsweb.com/investor-relations/proxy-materials.

VOTING PROCEDURES

Your vote is very important. You can vote the shares of PFSweb common stock that are held directly in your name and not through your brokerage account at the Annual Meeting if you are present in person or represented by proxy. You may revoke your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting by delivering written notice to our Secretary, by submitting a proxy bearing a later date or by appearing in person and casting a ballot at the Annual Meeting. If we receive a properly executed proxy before voting at the Annual Meeting is closed, the persons named as the proxy on the proxy card will vote the proxy in accordance with the directions provided on that card. If you do not indicate how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. If you wish to give a proxy to someone other than the persons named on the proxy card, you should cross out the names contained on the proxy card and insert the name(s) of the person(s) who hold(s) your proxy. Please note that the person(s) to whom you give your proxy must be present in person at the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.

Who can vote?

Stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 24, 2013, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, 16,113,352 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Excluding 33,467 shares of common stock in treasury, 16,079,886 shares of our common stock were eligible to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. The closing sale price of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the record date was $4.50 per share.

How do I vote?

You can vote in person at the Annual Meeting. Alternatively, a stockholder who holds shares of our common stock of record and not in “street name” may vote shares by giving a proxy via mail, telephone or the Internet. To vote your proxy by mail, indicate your voting choices, sign and date your proxy and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided. You may vote by telephone or the Internet by following the instructions on your proxy. Your telephone or Internet delivery authorizes the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you marked, signed and returned your proxy via the mail.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in street name. The Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting, the accompanying proxy and the Annual Report on Form 10-K have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other holder of record who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by using the voting instruction card included in the mailing or by following their instructions for voting by telephone or on the Internet.

All stockholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. You may also be represented by another person at the Annual Meeting by executing a proper proxy designating that person. If you are a beneficial owner of shares, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other holder of record and present it to the inspectors of election with your ballot to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What shares are represented by the proxy?

The proxy that we are delivering represents all the shares registered in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC. The proxy that is delivered by your broker, bank or other nominee represents the shares held by you in an account at that institution.

What are “broker non-votes” and why is it important that I submit my voting instructions for shares I hold as a beneficial stockholder?

If a broker or other financial institution holds your shares in its name and you do not provide voting instructions to it, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules allow that firm to vote your shares only on routine matters. Proposal No. 6, the ratification of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors, is the only routine matter for consideration at the Annual Meeting. For all matters other than Proposal No. 6, you must submit voting instructions to the firm that holds your shares if you want your vote to count on such matters. When a firm votes a client’s shares on some but not all of the proposals, the missing votes are referred to as “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining whether or not a quorum exists for the transaction of business.

How are votes counted?

If you return a signed and dated proxy but do not indicate how the shares are to be voted, those shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. A valid proxy also authorizes the individuals named as proxies to vote your shares in their discretion on any other matters which, although not described in the Proxy Statement, are properly presented for action at our Annual Meeting. If you indicate on your proxy that you wish to “abstain” from voting on an item, your shares will not be voted on that item, but will be counted to determine whether there is a quorum present. There is no right to cumulative voting.

How is a quorum established and what vote is required to approve matters presented at the Annual Meeting?

The presence, in person or by proxy, of at least a majority of the shares outstanding on the record date will constitute a quorum. Both abstentions and broker non-votes are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be rescheduled for a later date.

The following sets forth the votes required to approve the matters presented at the Annual Meeting:

Item No. 1 (Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation) – The proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide for the annual election of directors requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock in order for it to be approved. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as votes against the proposal.

Item No. 2 (Election of Directors) – The two nominees for directors with the highest number of votes cast at the Annual Meeting (i.e., a plurality) will be elected. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote. Please note that if Proposal No. 3 (Majority Vote) is approved at the Annual Meeting, a majority vote standard will apply in future uncontested elections of directors.

Item No. 3 (Majority Vote) – The proposal to amend the Company’s Bylaws to include a majority vote provision in uncontested elections requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock in order for it to be approved. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as votes against the proposal.

Item No. 4 (Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation) – The non-binding proposal to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions are treated as votes against the proposal, while broker non-votes have no effect.

Item No. 5 (Advisory Vote on Frequency of Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation) – The non-binding proposal to determine how often to seek the non-binding stockholder approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers will be determined based upon which option (1 year, 2 years or 3 years) receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If no option receives such affirmative vote, the Company will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option approved by stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect upon this proposal.

Item No. 6 (Ratification of Auditors) – The proposal to ratify the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent auditors requires the requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. As a result, abstentions are treated as votes against the proposal, while broker non-votes have no effect.

What is the recommendation of the Board of Directors?

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote (i) FOR the amendment to our certificate of incorporation and Bylaws to provide for the annual election of directors (Item No. 1), (ii) FOR the nominees of the Board of Directors (Item No. 2) (iii) FOR the amendment to our Bylaws to include a majority vote provision in uncontested elections (Item No. 3), (iv) FOR the non-binding advisory approval of the compensation to our named executive officers (Item No. 4), (v) FOR one year as the non-binding advisory determination of the frequency of how often to seek the non-binding stockholder approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers (Item No. 5) and (vi) FOR the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 (Item No. 6). If you do not indicate how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

Who will tabulate the vote?

Our transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, will tally the vote, which will be certified by an inspector of election who is a PFSweb employee.

Who will bear the expenses of our solicitation? How will we solicit votes?

We will bear our own cost of solicitation of proxies. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by our directors and officers by personal interview, telephone, facsimile or e-mail. Our directors and officers will not receive additional compensation for this solicitation but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with these activities. Arrangements may also be made with brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of shares of our common stock held of record by these people or institutions, in which case we will reimburse these brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with these forwarding activities. We may retain Computershare Shareowner Services LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of $10,000 plus reimbursement of expenses.

Are there appraisal rights?

Stockholders have no dissenters’ rights of appraisal with respect to any of the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting.

ITEM 1

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS TO PROVIDE FOR ANNUAL ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes of directors, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the term of one class expiring at each annual meeting of stockholders and each class serving three-year terms.

The Board of Directors believes that the classified board structure has encouraged directors to take a long term-perspective and has provided stability to the Board of Directors and the Company along with continuity and protection against certain coercive takeover tactics. Despite these benefits, the Board of Directors recognizes that there is a growing corporate governance trend in favor of declassified boards and the annual election of all directors. After careful consideration, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved an amendment to Article TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation and Section 3.2 of the Bylaws to declassify the Board of Directors and make certain related changes (the “Amendment”). A copy of Article TENTH of the Certificate of Incorporation and Section 3.2 of the Bylaws, as they would be implemented upon stockholder approval of this proposal to declassify the Board of Directors, is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

The Board of Directors believes that a declassified board structure should be phased-in so that the Class I and Class III directors can serve out the terms to which they have been elected. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Board of Directors would be declassified, and all directors elected on an annual basis, starting with the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If approved by stockholders, this proposal would be effected as follows:

•

The Class II directors elected at this 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be elected for a one-year term, and they or their successors would stand for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and subsequent annual meetings of stockholders, for a one-year term.

•

The Class III directors whose terms expire at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders would serve out their current terms, and they or their successors would stand for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and subsequent annual meetings of stockholders, for a one-year term.

•

The Class I directors whose terms expire at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders would serve out their current terms, and they or their successors would stand for election at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and subsequent annual meetings of stockholders, for a one-year term.

•

Beginning with the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at each annual meeting thereafter, our entire Board of Directors would stand for election for a one-year term and the Board of Directors would no longer be classified.

Consistent with Delaware General Corporation Law, because the Board of Directors is classified, the Certificate of Incorporation currently provides that the directors are removable by stockholders only “for cause.” Upon the declassification of the Board of Directors as of the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all directors would be removable “with or without cause” upon the requisite vote of stockholders.

If this Amendment is approved it will become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, which we intend to do immediately prior to the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.

Recommendation and Vote Required

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR this Proposal.

The proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to provide for the annual election of directors requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as votes against the proposal.

ITEM NO. 2

NOMINEES FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors is currently divided into three classes. Each class currently serves three years, with the terms of office of the respective classes expiring in successive years. The term of the current Class I directors expires at the 2015 Annual Meeting; the term of the current Class II directors expires at the 2013 Annual Meeting; and the term of the current Class III directors expires at the 2014 Annual Meeting. The Board presently consists of six members, two Class I directors, two Class II directors and two Class III directors. The nominees to serve as Class II directors who have been nominated and recommended by the Board of Directors are Neil Jacobs and Benjamin Rosenzweig. If elected, Messrs. Jacobs and Rosenzweig are expected to serve until the Company’s 2016 annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified unless the Company’s stockholders approve the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to provide for the annual election of directors (Item No. 1). In such event, the Class II directors will serve until the 2014 Annual Meeting. The shares represented by proxies in the accompanying form will be voted for the election of the nominees unless authority to so vote is withheld. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that such nominees will not serve if elected, but if any one or more of them should become unavailable to serve as a director, and if the Board designates a substitute nominee or nominees, the person named as proxy will vote for the substitute nominee(s) designated by the Board.

The following information, which has been provided by the individuals named, sets forth for each member of the Board of Directors, such person’s name, age, principal occupation or employment during at least the past five years, the name of the corporation or other organization, if any, in which such occupation or employment is carried on and the period during which such person has served as a director of the Company. The following information also identifies and describes the key experience, qualifications and skills our directors bring to the Board that are important in light of our business and structure. The directors’ experiences, qualifications and skills that the Board considered in their nomination are included in their individual biographies.

Meetings and Committees of the Board

The Board of Directors met a total of 15 times during the calendar year ended December 31, 2012. The Board of Directors has determined that, other than Mr. Willoughby, each director is independent within the meaning of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and NASD listing standards. The independent directors are able to and generally meet in executive session without the Company’s management at each regularly scheduled quarterly Board meeting.

The Board of Directors does not have a policy regarding director attendance at the annual meeting of stockholders, and no current director attended the 2012 annual meeting.

The Board of Directors currently has standing Nominating, Audit and Compensation Committees.

The Nominating Committee is responsible for identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become Board members and recommending to the Board candidates to stand for election or re-election as directors. The Committee will consider candidates at the recommendation of existing Board members, Company management, search firms or other consultants, or stockholders. Stockholders wishing to recommend director candidates to the Board may do so by writing to the Committee in care of the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s executive office, 505 Millennium Drive, Allen, TX 75013. At a minimum, director candidates should have demonstrated achievement in their particular field of endeavor, significant business or other management experience that would be of value to the Company, integrity and high ethical standards, good communication and leadership skills, and the ability and willingness to commit adequate time and attention to carry out their Board duties effectively. The Committee will evaluate candidates through background and reference checks, interviews and an analysis of each candidate’s qualifications and attributes in light of the current composition of the Board and the Company’s leadership needs at the time. The Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the Committee strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the Board will possess the appropriate talent, skills, experience and expertise to oversee the Company’s business. The Committee has not retained outside consultants to assist the Committee in identifying candidates, although the Committee is authorized to do so if it deems it appropriate under the circumstances. The members of the Nominating Committee are Mr. Reilly, Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Rosenzweig, each of whom has been determined to be independent as discussed above. The Nominating Committee has adopted a charter which is available on the Company’s website at www.pfsweb.com (the contents of the website are not incorporated in this Proxy Statement by reference). The Nominating Committee met one time during the calendar year ended December 31, 2012.

The Audit Committee is established for the purpose of overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee is established to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing and reporting to the Board on the integrity of the

financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to its stockholders. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of any independent auditor employed by the Company (including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company. The Company’s auditors report directly to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee is comprised of three directors, Mr. Reilly, Mr. Beatson and Dr. Jacobs, each of whom has been determined by the Board of Directors to be independent as discussed above, and is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. The Board of Directors has determined that, based on his relevant experience as described above, Mr. Reilly is qualified as the audit committee financial expert within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations and has the requisite financial sophistication required by the NASD listing standards. The Audit Committee met a total of six times during calendar year 2012. The Committee has adopted a written amended and restated audit committee charter setting out the audit-related functions of the Audit Committee, and the Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the charter on an annual basis. A copy of the charter is available on the Company’s website at www.pfsweb.com.

The Compensation Committee approves, or in some cases recommends, to the Board, remuneration and compensation arrangements involving the Company’s executive officers and other key employees. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Beatson, Nagakura and Reilly, who are independent as described above. The Compensation Committee also serves as the Committee which administers the Company’s employee stock option and incentive plan. The Compensation Committee has adopted a charter which is available on the Company’s website at www.pfsweb.com. The Compensation Committee met four times during the calendar year ended December 31, 2012.

In 2012 the Board formed a Special Committee, consisting of all outside directors, to meet from time to time to discuss comprehensive reviews of the Company’s business, including evaluating strategic direction and alternatives, possible and alternative management changes and organizational realignment, strategic initiatives and operating improvements. The Special Committee met eight times during the calendar year ended December 31, 2012. As of the date hereof, the Board no longer has a Special Committee.

During calendar year 2012, no current director or director nominee attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and the committees, if any, upon which such director served and which were held during the period of time that such person served on the Board or such committee.

Communicating with the Board of Directors

Stockholders wishing to communicate with one or more Directors or the Board as a whole may do so in a writing addressed to the Director(s) or the Board and sent to the Corporate Secretary, PFSweb, Inc., 505 Millennium Drive, Allen, TX 75013.

Code of Ethics

The Board has approved a code of business conduct and ethics in accordance with rules of the SEC and NASD listing standards applicable to all directors, officers and employees, including the chief executive officer, senior financial officers and the principal accounting officer. The code is intended to provide guidance to directors and management to assure compliance with law and promote ethical behavior. Copies of the Company’s code of business conduct and ethics may be found on the Company’s website at www.pfsweb.com.

Board Leadership Structure

Currently, the Company has separated the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman in order to permit the Chief Executive Officer to focus his efforts in improving the Company’s operations. In addition, to assure effective independent oversight of the Company management, all of the other Board members are currently independent directors who may meet in executive session without management present. Similarly, each committee of the Board is comprised entirely of independent directors. The Company’s Bylaws further provide for the appointment of a lead independent

director by the other independent directors. The lead director is authorized to prepare the agendas for executive sessions of the independent directors and chair those sessions, facilitate communications between the Chairman and other members of the Board, and act as a liaison to shareholders who request direct communication with the Board. Prior to his being appointed as Chairman, Mr. Reilly served as the lead director.

Risk Management

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks more fully described in our annual and quarterly filings with the SEC, including risks relating to dependence on clients and suppliers, competition, product development, credit and liquidity, and other business risks. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while our Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our Board of Directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board of Directors, together with its committees, provides company-wide oversight of our management and handling of risk. At meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees, directors receive regular updates from management regarding risk management. Outside of formal meetings, the Board, its committees and individual Board members have regular access to the executive officers of the Company and are often consulted by management in respect of Company operations.

Report of the Audit Committee for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012

The following is the report of the Audit Committee with respect to the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates such information by reference in such filing.

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is comprised of three independent directors. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Reilly, Beatson and Jacobs.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. The independent accountants (“auditors”) are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor these processes. The Audit Committee does not itself prepare financial statements or perform audits, and its members are not auditors or certifiers of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee approved the appointment of the Company’s auditors, Grant Thornton LLP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibility of appointing and reviewing the services performed by the Company’s independent auditors, the Audit Committee carefully reviews the policies and procedures for the engagement of the independent auditor, including the scope of the audit, audit fees, auditor independence matters and the extent to which the independent auditor may be retained to perform non-audit related services. The Audit Committee considered the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit services in 2012 and determined that the provision of those services is compatible with and does not impair the auditors’ independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Company’s auditors the scope and plans for the independent audit. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the auditors the Company’s audited financial statements, including the auditor’s judgments about the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the auditors the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standard No. 114 “The Auditor’s Communication With Those Charged With Governance”, as amended.

The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the Company’s independent accountants required by PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 (“PCAOB Rule 3526”), “Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence” and the Audit Committee discussed with the auditors their independence from the Company and its management.

Based on the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the auditors and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the report of the auditors to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview of Compensation Program

The Compensation Committee of the Board is responsible for establishing and implementing our compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee believes that the total compensation paid to our executive officers should be and is fair, reasonable and competitive. In this section of the Proxy Statement, the individuals who served during our fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 as our Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 16, are referred to as the “Named Executive Officers.”

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee believes that executive officer compensation be structured to provide competitive base salaries and benefits to attract and retain superior employees and to provide short- and long-term incentive compensation to incentivize executive officers to attain, and to reward executive officers for attaining, established financial goals that are consistent with increasing stockholder value. The Compensation Committee may use cash bonuses and retention based equity awards as key components in the short- and long-term incentive compensation arrangements for executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee’s goal is to maintain compensation programs that are competitive within our industry and geographic market. Each year, the Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation program with respect to the external competitiveness of the program, the linkage between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value, and determines what changes, if any, are appropriate.

In determining the form and amount of compensation payable to Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee is guided by the following objectives and principles:

• Compensation levels should be sufficiently competitive to attract and retain key executives. We aim to ensure that our executive compensation program attracts, motivates and retains high performance talent and rewards them for our achieving and maintaining a competitive position in our industry and geographic market. Total compensation (i.e. maximum achievable compensation) should increase with position and responsibility.

• Compensation should relate directly to performance and incentive compensation should be a portion of total compensation. We aim to foster a pay-for-performance culture, with the bonus portion of total compensation being “at risk.” Accordingly, absent unusual circumstances, any bonus payable as part of total compensation should be tied to and vary with our financial, operational and strategic performance, as well as individual performance. Bonuses should not be granted if these goals and results are not achieved.

• Long-term incentive compensation should align executives’ interests with our stockholders. Awards of equity-based compensation encourage executives to focus on our long-term growth and prospects, and incentivize executives to manage the company from the perspective of stockholders with a meaningful stake in us, as well as to focus on long-term career orientation.

Our executive compensation program is designed to reward the achievement of goals regarding growth, productivity and profitability, including such goals as:

• To assist the Company in achieving and surpassing its internal targets and budgets, including quarterly financial and operating targets.

• To recruit, motivate and exhibit leadership that aligns employees’ interests with that of our stockholders.

• To develop business models and systems that seek out strategic opportunities, which benefit us and our stockholders.

• To implement a culture of compliance and commitment to operate our business with the highest standards of professional conduct and compliance.

Compensation Committee Practices and Procedures

The Compensation Committee determines and reviews the value and forms of compensation for the Named Executive Officers and other officers based on the Compensation Committee members’ general knowledge and experience, as well as, if appropriate, commercially available compensation surveys prepared by third party firms or otherwise generally available. The Compensation Committee is authorized to retain compensation consultants to assist the Committee in its efforts.

The Compensation Committee is delegated all authority of the Board as may be required or advisable to fulfill the purposes of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee meets as often as it deems necessary or appropriate.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for all executive officers (which includes the Named Executive Officers). The Compensation Committee actively considers, and has the ultimate authority of approving, recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer regarding all equity awards to our employees. Our Chief Executive Officer determines the non-equity compensation of management level employees who are not executive officers or officers.

The Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each executive officer (other than the Chief Executive Officer whose performance is reviewed by the Compensation Committee). Based on these annual reviews, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to annual base salary adjustments and short- and long-term incentive compensation awards for such executive officers. The Compensation Committee then reviews these recommendations and exercises its discretion in whether to accept such recommendations or to modify such recommendations as it deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance of the Chief Executive Officer and determines the total compensation, including base salary, cash bonus and long-term equity compensation, for the Chief Executive Officer. The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in such determination.

Setting Executive Compensation

Based on the foregoing compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee has structured our annual, short- and long-term compensation to motivate executives to achieve the financial performance objectives we set and to incentivize the executives to achieve and exceed, and to reward the executives for achieving and exceeding, such objectives. During fiscal year 2012, the Compensation Committee retained the services of The Hay Group to provide the Committee with competitive market compensation data for senior management, a comparison of the Company’s senior management compensation levels compared to market data and other data and services to assist the Committee in its consideration of the establishment, structure and amount of executive compensation. During fiscal year 2012, The Hay Group did not provide any other services to the Company.

2012 Executive Officer Compensation Components

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the principal components of compensation for Named Executive Officers were:

•

base salary;

•

performance-based incentive compensation;

•

retirement and other benefits; and

•

perquisites and other personal benefits.

Base Salary

We provide our Named Executive Officers and other employees with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the year. Base salary ranges for Named Executive Officers are determined for each executive officer based on various factors considered by the Compensation Committee, including his or her position and level of responsibility and his or her actual performance during the preceding year. Base salaries for each year are typically evaluated annually in the first quarter of such year. Merit-based increases to base salaries for executive officers are based on the Compensation Committee’s assessment of various factors, including the individual’s performance during the preceding year and base salary history.

Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

Our 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan provides the Compensation Committee with the flexibility to design cash and stock-based incentive compensation programs to promote performance and the achievement of our goals and objectives by executive officers and other key employees by allowing them to participate in our long-term growth and profitability. The Compensation Committee believes that providing performance-based incentive compensation is necessary to attract and retain superior executive talent and to align the financial interests of executive officers with those of our stockholders. A portion of each executive officer’s potential aggregate compensation is in the form of incentive compensation. There are two types of performance-based incentive compensation used by the Compensation Committee. The first type is short-term incentive compensation in the form of a performance based cash award. The second type is long-term incentive compensation in the form of grants of stock options, performance shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units.

For fiscal year 2012, the Compensation Committee authorized the continuation of the 2011 base compensation and the 2011 management bonus plan (the “2011 Bonus Plan”) pursuant to our 2005 Employee Stock and Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the 2011 Bonus Plan, performance based cash awards, if any, were awarded to the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers, officers and senior management based on, and subject to, the quarterly achievement of a specified performance goal. The performance goal for the 2012 fiscal year was for the Company to exceed, on an individual quarterly basis, the corresponding projected quarterly adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock based compensation, and certain other charges contained in the Company’s 2012 annual budget (or, in case of a budgeted operating loss, to reduce the operating loss below the budgeted operating loss) (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

The maximum aggregate amount available to be awarded for any quarter was the sum of the following: (i) fifty percent (50%) of the first Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in amount by which the Adjusted EBITDA for such quarter exceeded the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA for such quarter (the “Excess EBITDA”) up to a maximum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), plus (ii) if the amount of Excess EBITDA for such quarter exceeded Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), twenty percent (20%) of the amount of such excess, provided, however, the total bonus amount under clauses (i) and (ii) for each quarter cannot exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000).

During fiscal year 2012, an aggregate of $733,000 of quarterly performance based cash awards were granted under the 2011 Bonus Plan to the Named Executive Officers, executive officers and officers.

Long-term incentive compensation for each executive officer consists of awards of stock options or other equity grants based on the executive officer’s level and scope of responsibility. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the granting of all equity-based compensation, including the award dates for each grant, which is determined in its discretion. Stock options typically vest over a three-year period in quarterly installments. An important purpose of the granting of stock options is to retain executive talent and incentivize the executive team to increase stockholder value. There were no issuances of stock options to any Named Executive Officers, executive officers or officers during 2012.

Retirement and Other Benefits

Executive officers are eligible to participate in our 401(k) plan and other benefit programs as described below. The Compensation Committee reviews the overall cost to us of these various programs generally on an annual basis or when changes are proposed. The Compensation Committee believes that the benefits provided by these programs have been important factors in attracting and retaining the overall executive officer group, including the Named Executive Officers.

Our 401(k) plan allows for discretionary employer matching funds of the employee contribution. During 2012, the employer match portion was 12%. We do not provide any other retirement benefits or tax-qualified deferred compensation plans or programs for our executive officers.

Executive officers also receive benefit of life insurance policies, which provide coverage in varying amounts up to $3.0 million.

Executive officers are also entitled to participate in the various other group health, term life and similar benefit plans available to all of our employees and on the same terms as such employees.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We provide Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1 million that is paid to certain individuals, subject to certain exceptions. We believe that compensation paid in 2012 is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that will not meet these requirements in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for its executive officers.

Compensation for Fiscal Year 2013

For fiscal year 2013, the Compensation Committee retained the services of The Hay Group to update its 2012 report and assist the Committee in its consideration of the establishment, structure and amount of executive compensation. As of the date of its updated 2013 report, The Hay Group did not provide any other services to the Company. For fiscal year 2013, the Compensation Committee has implemented significant changes to executive compensation to, among other things, reduce base pay, and require a greater portion of compensation, both long-term and short-term, to be subject to the achievement of certain performance based goals. In addition, in order to greater align equity compensation with the interests of shareholders, for fiscal year 2013, a significant portion of long-term equity compensation will be subject to the trading price of the Company’s common stock meeting or exceeding a peer group index. The Company’s Board of Directors also encourages the Company’s executive officers and directors to use a portion of their cash compensation for open market purchases of the Company’s common stock.

EMPLOYMENT, CHANGE OF CONTROL AND TERMINATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR EXECUTIVES

The Company and the named executive officers have entered into Change in Control and Severance Agreements. Under these agreements, and in consideration of certain commitments of the officer to continue employment, upon the occurrence of a change in control, all unvested options held by the officer immediately vest and become exercisable. During the two year period following a change in control (whenever occurring), if the employment of the officer is terminated (other than for cause, death, disability or retirement), or if there is a material adverse change in the officer’s responsibilities, compensation or benefits to which the officer does not consent, then, in each case, the officer is entitled to receive from the Company (1) all salary and bonus amounts accrued through the date of termination, (2) a severance payment equal to twice the officer’s salary and bonus amount (which is defined as the greater of (i) the highest annual incentive bonus earned by the executive during the last three completed fiscal years or (ii) the executive’s then target bonus, if any) and (3) continuation for two years of all employee benefits (unless otherwise provided by a subsequent employer). If applicable, the officer is also entitled to receive an additional payment to compensate the officer for any additional excise tax liability arising by reason of the receipt of such severance or bonus payment. The agreement terminates upon the voluntary resignation or termination of employment by the officer.

The Company and the named executive officers have also entered into Executive Severance Agreements. Under these agreements, and in consideration for, among other things, the agreement by the executive to be bound by a restrictive covenant, in the event of the termination of the employment of the executive other than for cause (including a material adverse change in the officer’s responsibilities), the executive is entitled to a severance payment, based on the executive’s years of service, up to a maximum of twice the executive’s salary and the bonus, if any, that the executive would have received for such fiscal year (based upon the executive’s targeted bonus amount and the Company’s actual results for such fiscal year), payable in monthly installments over a period not to exceed two years (based on the executive’s years of service) In addition, in the event of termination without cause, the executive is entitled to a continuation of benefits and to the accelerated vesting of all options then held by the executive. The severance payment and benefits are reduced by any compensation or benefits received by the executive from any subsequent employer.

Effective as of December 31, 2008, the Company and the named executive officers entered into an amendment to the existing Executive Severance Agreements and Change in Control Severance Agreements between the Company and such persons. The primary purpose of such amendment was to modify such agreements so that they conform to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, the amendment to the Executive Severance Agreement modified the calculation of the severance amount thereunder so that it is based on the highest annual rate of base salary during the 12-month period immediately prior to the qualifying termination.

In connection with the termination of Mr. Layton’s employment and effective as of March 2013, the Company and Mr. Layton amended certain of the terms of the Executive Severance Agreement between the Company and Mr. Layton. The amendment modified certain provisions regarding severance payments payable to Mr. Layton, including the payment of certain additional amounts upon the occurrence of a change in control, and included an additional covenant restricting Mr. Layton from being employed by certain named competitors of the Company. A copy of the amendment was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2013 and reference is made thereto for a complete description of the terms thereof.

2012 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth the compensation earned by non-employee Directors for their service on the Board of Directors and its committees, as applicable, during the year ended December 31, 2012:


	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash		Option Awards (1)			Total
David I. Beatson	$	53,500	$	17,792	(2)	$	71,292
James F. Reilly		114,750		17,792	(3)		132,542
Dr. Neil W. Jacobs		53,500		17,792	(4)		71,292
Timothy M. Murray		47,500		17,792	(5)		65,292

(1)	Represents aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718.

(2)	Mr. Beatson had 51,277 options outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

(3)	Mr. Reilly had 51,277 options outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

(4)	Dr. Jacobs had 44,894 options outstanding as of December 31, 2012.

(5)	Mr. Murray had 51,277 options outstanding as of December 31, 2012. Mr. Murray resigned from the Board in May 2013.

In June 1999 the Company adopted a Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Retainer Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”). As amended in June 2011, the Non-Employee Director Plan also provides for the issuance to each non-employee director of options to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock as of the date of each annual meeting of stockholders. During calendar year 2012, each non-employee director received an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $2.54 per share. The Non-Employee Director Plan also permits the payment of non-employee director retainer fees in shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash.

All options to be issued to non-employee directors under the Non-Employee Director Plan are non-qualified options for federal income tax purposes and have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of the annual meeting upon which such option is granted. All options have a ten-year term and are subject to a one-year vesting schedule.

Generally, unless the Non-Employee Director Plan administrator otherwise provides, options are non-transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. At the time of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s common stock, the Non-Employee Director Plan administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the exercise price, number and kind of shares to be issued under the Non-Employee Director Plan and any outstanding options. The Board of Directors has the authority to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Non-Employee Director Plan at any time.

During 2012 non-employee directors received an annual retainer fee of $22,000, payable quarterly, a director meeting fee of $2,500 for each board meeting attended, a committee meeting fee of $1,500 for each quarterly Audit Committee meeting attended and a committee meeting fee of $750 or $1,250 (depending upon the meeting length) for each special committee meeting. The lead director received an additional $5,000 for each board meeting attended, $15,000 for serving as chairman of the special committee and $25,000 for additional services performed for the special committee.

Directors who are also employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries receive no remuneration for serving as directors or Committee members.

ITEM 3

AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S BYLAWS TO PROVIDE A MAJORITY VOTE STANDARD IN

UNCONTESTED ELECTIONS OF DIRECTORS

In order to give shareholders a meaningful role in the director election process, the Board of Directors has unanimously approved the adoption of a new Section 2.8.1 of the Bylaws to provide for a majority vote standard in uncontested elections of directors. A copy of Section 2.8.1 of the Bylaws, as it would be implemented upon stockholder approval of this proposal, is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement. If approved by stockholders, the majority vote provision will be in effect for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Under a majority vote standard, in an uncontested election of directors, each nominee must be elected by a majority of the votes cast (i.e., the votes cast for such nominee’s election must exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election). Broker non-votes, if any, and abstentions are not treated as votes cast. In the event an incumbent director receives less than a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election, such director must tender his or her resignation, whereupon the Nominating Committee and the Board will evaluate such resignation in light of the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and determine whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken, and, in so doing, may consider any factors they deem relevant in making such determination. If the Board does not accept the resignation, the director who offered to resign will continue to serve on the Board until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until the director’s successor is elected and qualified or until the director’s death, resignation or removal. If the Board accepts the resignation, the Nominating Committee may recommend to the Board whether to fill the resulting vacancy or to reduce the size of the Board. In any event, the Board will publicly disclose its decision regarding the resignation within 90 days after the results of the election are certified.

Recommendation and Vote Required

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR this Proposal.

The proposal to amend the Company’s Bylaws to provide for a majority vote standard in uncontested elections of directors requires the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as votes against the proposal.

ITEM 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF

THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Company seeks your advisory vote approving the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. We believe that our executive compensation programs are structured in the best manner possible to support our business objectives and are designed to provide competitive total compensation that is tied to the achievement of Company performance objectives and to attract, motivate and retain individuals who will build long-term value for our stockholders. See “Executive Compensation” above. Key characteristics of our executive compensation programs include the following:

• Pay for Performance. Our compensation programs seek to tie pay to performance and a meaningful portion of our executives’ compensation is incentive based and contingent upon Company financial performance.

• Pay Competitively. We are committed to providing an executive compensation program designed to attract, motivate, reward, and retain executive officers with the skills necessary to successfully lead and manage our business.

• Pay Responsibly. Our compensation program is designed to align the interests of our executive officers with our stockholders and to discourage excessive risk-taking.

We are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers for 2012 as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table and related compensation tables, notes, and narrative discussion following the compensation tables in this proxy statement. This vote is not intended to address any

specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation program for our named executive officers described in this proxy statement. The vote on this proposal is advisory and non-binding; however, the Compensation Committee and the Board will review the results of the vote and consider them when making future determinations regarding our executive compensation programs.

Recommendation and Vote Required

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR this Proposal.

The non-binding proposal to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are treated as votes against the proposal, while broker non-votes have no effect.

ITEM 5

ADVISORY VOTE TO DETERMINE THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are seeking an advisory (non-binding) vote from our stockholders to determine the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.

The Board believes that annual (i.e., 1 year) advisory votes will allow the Board to obtain information on stockholders’ views of the compensation of our named executive officers on a regular basis, and will provide our Board and Compensation Committee with annual input from stockholders on our compensation program.

Accordingly, we are giving stockholders an opportunity to cast an advisory vote to determine the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation. When voting on this proposal, stockholders may indicate whether they would prefer an advisory vote every one, two or three years (or you may abstain).

Recommendation and Vote Required

The Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote FOR 1 YEAR on this Proposal.

The non-binding proposal to determine how often to seek the non-binding stockholder approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers will be determined based upon which option (1 year, 2 years or 3 years) receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. If no option receives such affirmative vote, the Company will consider the option that receives the most votes to be the option approved by stockholders. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect upon this proposal.

ITEM 6

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Company has appointed Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. In the event stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors, such appointment may be reconsidered by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make such statements as they may desire.

The Board of Directors of the Company recommends a vote FOR ratification of Grant Thornton LLP as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Fees billed to the Company by Grant Thornton LLP for the years 2011 and 2012

The following table sets forth (i) the aggregate fees billed by Grant Thornton LLP relating to the audit of the 2011 and 2012 consolidated financial statements and (ii) the fees for other professional services billed by Grant Thornton LLP in connection with services rendered during the previous two fiscal years.


Fee Type	2011		2012
Audit fees (a)	$	372,200	$	407,300
Audit-related fees (b)		60,500		71,550

(a)

Includes fees for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the annual financial statements, reviews of the quarterly financial statements, fees paid for the audit of the Company’s subsidiary, Supplies Distributors, to satisfy requirements of its senior debt agreements and internal control review.

(b)	Consists of aggregate fees billed for assurance services provided in connection with reports on certain internal controls under Statement of Auditing Standards No. 70 and Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16.

All of the fees listed in the chart above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provisions of such services by Grant Thornton LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its audit functions.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre Approval of Audit and Permissible Non Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accountants

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit related services, tax and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year, and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case by case basis. During 2011 and 2012, all audit, non-audit and tax services provided by Grant Thornton LLP were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.

APPENDIX B

Section 2.8.1 of the Bylaws

2.8.1 Majority Vote Provision. At the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders and at each annual meeting thereafter, the stockholders shall elect directors by a majority of the votes cast unless the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, in which case the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A majority of votes cast means that the number of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors and represented in person or by proxy at such meeting casting their vote “for” a director must exceed the number of such votes cast “against” that director. Broker non-votes, if any, and abstentions shall not be treated as votes cast. If a nominee for director, who is not serving as a director of the Corporation at the time of such election, does not receive a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, such nominee shall not be elected. If a nominee for director, who is serving as a director of the Corporation at the time of such election, does not receive a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders for the election of directors, such nominee shall tender his or her resignation to the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee shall then make a recommendation to the Board of Directors as to whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board of Directors will consider the Nominating Committee’s recommendation and such other factors as it deems appropriate, and publicly disclose (by press release, filing of a Form 8-K with the Securities Exchange Commission or any other means of public disclosure) its decision and the reasons for it within 90 days from the date that the election results are certified. The director who tenders his or resignation will not participate in the Board’s decision.
