Chairman

Audit Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a written Audit Committee Charter. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is posted on our website under “Investors - Corporate Governance.”

·	Reviews our financial and accounting practices, controls and results, reviews the scope and services of our auditors and appoints our independent auditors.

·	Review and approve related parties transactions.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Compensation Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is posted on our website under “Investors - Corporate Governance.”

·	Determines the compensation of our officers and employees.

·	Administers our stock option plans.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Board of Directors has adopted a written Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter. A copy of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter is posted on our website under “Investors - Corporate Governance.”

·	Oversees the Board’s review and consideration of shareholder recommendations for Director candidates.

·	Oversees the Board's annual self-evaluation.

Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics. We have adopted a Code of Conduct applicable to all of our directors, officers and employees. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Ethics, within the meaning of applicable Commission rules, applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Controller. If we make any amendments to either of these Codes (other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments), or waive (explicitly or implicitly) any provision of the Code of Ethics to the benefit of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Controller, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in the investor relations portion of our website at www.rcmt.com, or in a report on Form 8-K that we file with the Commission.

Related Party Transaction Approval Policy. Our Code of Conduct mandates that officers and directors bring promptly to the attention of our Compliance Officer, currently our Chief Financial Officer, any transaction or series of transactions that may result in a conflict of interest between that person and the Company. Furthermore, our Audit Committee must review and approve any “related party” transaction as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, before it is consummated. Following any disclosure to our Compliance Officer, the Compliance Officer will then typically review with the Chairman of our Audit Committee the relevant facts disclosed by the officer or director in question. After this review, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Compliance Officer determine whether the matter should be brought to the Audit Committee or the full Board of Directors for approval. In considering any such transaction, the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, will consider various relevant factors, including, among others, the reasoning for the Company to engage in the transaction, whether the terms of the transaction are at arm’s length and the overall fairness of the transaction to the Company. If a member of the Audit Committee or the Board is involved in the transaction, he or she will not participate in any of the discussions or decisions about the transaction. The transaction must be approved in advance whenever practicable, and if not practicable, must be ratified as promptly as practicable.

Risk Oversight by the Board. The role of our Board of Directors in our risk oversight process includes receiving regular reports from members of management on areas of material risk to us, including operational, financial, legal and strategic risks.

In particular, our Audit Committee is tasked pursuant to its charter to “discuss significant financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor, control and report such exposures.” As appropriate, the Chairman of the Audit Committee reports to the full Board of Directors on the activities of the Audit Committee in this regard, allowing the Audit Committee and the full Board to coordinate their risk oversight activities.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

As one component of our risk oversight and anti-fraud program, our Audit Committee has established complaint reporting procedures described under “Compliance Policy” in the “Investors” section of our website at www.rcmt.com. These procedures indicate how to submit complaints to our Audit Committee regarding concerns about our accounting practices, our adherence to financial policies and procedures, or our compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Once received, grievances are reviewed by the Chairman of the Audit Committee for consideration.

Board Leadership Structure. Mr. Kopyt has served as the Chairman of our Board of Directors since 1992, and also served as our Chief Executive Officer from 1992 through February 2014. We believe that this overlap of leadership between the Board and executive management has allowed us to benefit from strong, clear, consistent and cohesive leadership, with Mr. Kopyt setting the tone for all of our operating and strategic functions, thus providing unified leadership and direction for the Board and our operational functions. Nevertheless, while the Board believes that Mr. Kopyt’s service in these capacities has delivered great value, the Board has never determined that the role of Chairman must always be held by a senior executive, or someone who recently served as a senior executive.

Our governance documents provide the Board with flexibility to select the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. In making leadership structure determinations, the Board considers many factors, including the specific needs of our business and what is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. In 2013, as part of its ongoing review of its corporate governance practices, the Board created the position of Lead Independent Director, a position that will be filled at any time that the Chairman is not an independent director. The Board felt that adding the leadership of an independent director, together with Mr. Kopyt’s leadership as Chairman, formed an effective leadership structure for RCM, providing robust independent oversight of management while ensuring clear strategic alignment throughout the Company.

Our Lead Independent Director is an independent director who is elected annually by the independent members of the Board. Mr. Vizi, a member of the Board since 2013, currently serves as our Lead Independent Director. Pursuant to its January 2014 Settlement Agreement with the shareholder group a party thereto, we agreed that by no later than our annual meeting of stockholders in 2015, the Board will appoint either Mr. Ballou or Mr. Vizi as the Chairman of the Board. At that point, we will not have a Lead Independent Director.

When in place, our Lead Independent Director: (i) presides at all meetings of the Board at which the Chairman is not present including presiding at executive sessions of the Board (without management present) at every regularly scheduled Board meeting, (ii) serves as a liaison between the Chairman of the Board (and management) and the independent directors, (iii) approves meeting agendas, time schedules and other information provided to the Board, and (iv) is available for direct communication and consultation with major stockholders upon request. Our Lead Independent Director also has the authority to call meetings of the independent directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. We believe that, during our fiscal year ended January 3, 2015, our executive officers and directors made all required filings under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act on a timely basis. Our belief is based solely on:

·	our review of copies of forms filed pursuant to Section 16(a) and submitted to us during and with respect to our fiscal year ended January 3, 2015 and

·	representations from the Company’s directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our Common Stock that they have complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements with respect to such fiscal year.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Overview of Compensation Program; Certain Developments

The Compensation Committee of the Board has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company’s compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation paid to the executives is fair, reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to our executives, including the named executive officers, are similar to those provided to other executive officers.

During 2014, as part of our ongoing effort to better align our leadership, corporate governance structure and compensation methodologies with the interests and perspectives of our stockholders, members of our Board of Directors and management team spoke with stockholders representing a majority of our ownership. Mindful of the input of these stockholders and motivated by our commitment to the implementation of best practices in corporate governance and compensation, the Compensation Committee and our Board undertook a series of efforts with respect to compensation reform, including taking the following steps:

·	Limiting executive severance cash pay-outs to no more than 24 months base salary and bonus;

·	Prohibiting tax gross-ups in all future employment agreements;

·	Requiring future employment agreements to contain a "double trigger" with respect to executive change-in-control payments; and

·	Adopting an incentive payment claw back policy for named executive officers.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation of Directors

Our employee directors do not receive any compensation for serving on our Board or its committees, other than the compensation they receive for serving as employees of RCM. The Company has had employee directors in the past but as of January 3, 2015, the Company did not have any employee directors.

During our fiscal year ended January 3, 2015, our non-employee directors were compensated in accordance with the compensation structure for non-employee directors that had been effective since July 2009. Under such arrangement, each non-employee director received a retainer fee of $36,000 per year as compensation for service on the Board. In addition to the retainer fee, each eligible non-employee director was paid meeting attendance fees of $750 for each Board meeting and $300 for each Committee meeting in excess of four that was held on a date other than the date of a Board meeting.

In addition, under this policy all employee and non-employee directors are eligible to receive equity awards. The Company issued 60,000 and 12,500 restricted stock units to directors in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation of Directors (Continued)

In 2014, the Compensation Committee engaged Towers Watson as an independent consultant to assist it in altering the structure of compensation to the Board’s non-employee members. Ultimately, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board adopted, the following revised compensation structure for non-employee members of the Board, to be implemented beginning with the 2015 fiscal year:

·	Annual cash retainer of $40,000, payable in equal monthly installments.

·	No meeting fees for up to five Board meetings in each calendar year. For each meeting in calendar year in excess of five, each Board member shall receive a cash payment of $1,500 for an in-person Board meeting and $750 for a telephonic meeting.

Annual equity grants of $40,000, in the form of RSUs with 1-year vesting feature (subject to acceleration upon Change in Control or separation from service in the same manner as the RSU grants made in December 2014), with delivery of the shares of common stock underlying to such RSUs to be made upon vesting; provided that, except for sales of shares in an amount no greater than required to generate an amount equal to the income tax on such shares, non-employee directors shall be required to retain shares delivered upon vesting unless, immediately following any such sale, such director would comply with the Company’s ownership guidelines.

·	Payment of the following additional annual retainers: Chairman of the Board $10,000; Lead Independent Director $10,000 (who shall serve only at such time as the Board does not have an independent chair); Audit Committee chair $10,000; Compensation Committee chair $7,500.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Severance Agreements with Kevin Miller and Rocco Campanelli

The Company is a party to Executive Severance Agreements (the “Executive Severance Agreements”) with Rocco Campanelli, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and Kevin Miller, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, which set forth the terms and conditions of certain payments to be made by the Company to each executive in the event, while employed by the Company, such executive experiences (a) a termination of employment unrelated to a “Change in Control” (as defined therein) or (b) there occurs a Change in Control and either (i) the executive’s employment is terminated for a reason related to the Change in Control or (ii) the executive remains continuously employed with the Company for a specified period of time following the Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller).

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Agreements, if either (a) the executive is involuntarily terminated by the Company for any reason other than “Cause” (as defined therein), “Disability” (as defined therein) or death, or (b) the executive resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined therein), and, in each case, the termination is not a “Termination Related to a Change in Control” (as defined below), the executive will receive the following severance payments: (i) an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of (a) the executive’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the termination date (before taking into account any reduction that constitutes Good Reason) (“Annual Base Salary”) and (b) the highest annual bonus paid to the executive in any of the three fiscal years immediately preceding the executive’s termination date (“Bonus”), to be paid in installments over the twelve month period following the executive’s termination date; and (ii) for a period of eighteen months following the executive’s termination date, a monthly payment equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the executive is required to pay to continue medical, vision, and dental coverage, for himself and, where applicable, his spouse and eligible dependents.

Notwithstanding the above, if the executive has a termination as described above and can reasonably demonstrate that such termination would constitute a Termination Related to a Change in Control, and a Change in Control occurs within 120 days following the executive’s termination date, the executive will be entitled to receive the payments set forth below for a Termination Related to a Change in Control, less any amounts already paid to the executive, upon consummation of the Change in Control.

Under the terms of the Executive Severance Agreements, if a Change in Control occurs and (a) the executive experiences a Termination Related to a Change in Control on account of (i) an involuntary termination by the Company for any reason other than Cause, death, or Disability, (ii) an involuntary termination by the Company within a specified period of time following a Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) on account of Disability or death, or (iii) a resignation by the executive with Good Reason; or (b) a resignation by the executive, with or without Good Reason, which results in a termination date that is the last day of the specified period (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) following a Change in Control, then the executive will receive the following severance payments: (1) a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s (a) Annual Base Salary and (b) Bonus; and (2) a lump sum payment equal to twenty-four multiplied by the monthly COBRA premium cost, as in effect immediately prior to the executive’s termination date, for the executive to continue medical, dental and vision coverage, as applicable, in such Company plans for himself and, if applicable, his spouse and eligible dependents.

The Executive Severance Agreements provide that if the executive remains continuously employed for a specified period of time following a Change in Control (i.e., twelve months for Mr. Campanelli and three months for Mr. Miller) and is employed by the Company on the last day of such specified period, the executive will receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s (a) Annual Base Salary and (b) Bonus (the “Change in Control Payment”). If the executive receives the Change in Control Payment, the executive will not be eligible to receive any severance payments under his Executive Severance Agreement.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Separation Agreement with Leon Kopyt

On January 22, 2014, the Company and Mr. Kopyt entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Separation Agreement”) in connection with his retirement as our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of February 28, 2014.

Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Kopyt received a cash severance payment of approximately $2.6 million, less applicable deductions and withholdings, to be paid to Mr. Kopyt in a single lump sum following the end of the six-month period from his retirement date. This amount was less than half of what Mr. Kopyt’s Employment Agreement would otherwise have stipulated. The Separation Agreement also contains mutual releases and other provisions customary to such agreements.

Prior to entering into the Separation Agreement, Mr. Kopyt and the Company were party to an Employment Agreement, Termination Benefits Agreement and Severance Agreement, all of which terminated upon execution of the Separation Agreement.

ITEM 13.	CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
	INDEPENDENCE

Related Party Transaction Approval Policy

Our Code of Conduct mandates that officers and directors bring promptly to the attention of our Compliance Officer, currently our Chief Financial Officer, any transaction or series of transactions that may result in a conflict of interest between that person and the Company. Furthermore, our Audit Committee must review and approve any “related party” transaction as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, before it is consummated. Following any disclosure to our Compliance Officer, the Compliance Officer will then typically review with the Chairman of our Audit Committee the relevant facts disclosed by the officer or director in question. After this review, the Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Compliance Officer determine whether the matter should be brought to the Audit Committee or the full Board of Directors for approval. In considering any such transaction, the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, will consider various relevant factors, including, among others, the reasoning for the Company to engage in the transaction, whether the terms of the transaction are at arm’s length and the overall fairness of the transaction to the Company. If a member of the Audit Committee or the Board is involved in the transaction, he or she will not participate in any of the discussions or decisions about the transaction. The transaction must be approved in advance whenever practicable, and if not practicable, must be ratified as promptly as practicable.

Independence of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has determined that Roger H. Ballou, Maier O. Fein, Richard D. Machon, S. Gary Snodgrass and Bradley S. Vizi are “independent directors” as defined in Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

ITEM 14.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

Our Audit Committee plans to engage EisnerAmper LLP (“EisnerAmper”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year ending January 2, 2016.

Fees Billed by EisnerAmper during fiscal 2014 and 2013

Audit Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper for audit services rendered by EisnerAmper for the audit of the Company's 2014 annual financial statements, for the review of those financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided by EisnerAmper in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, totaled approximately $173,400. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper for audit services rendered by EisnerAmper for the audit of the Company's 2013 annual financial statements, for the review of those financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and for services that are normally provided by EisnerAmper in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, totaled approximately $72,540.

Audit-Related Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper during 2014 and 2013 for audit-related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements and are not reported under the preceding paragraph totaled $0 in both fiscal years.

Tax Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper during 2014 and 2013 for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning totaled $0 and $2,200, respectively.

All Other Fees. Fees billed to the Company by EisnerAmper during 2014 and 2013 for all other services totaled $0 in both fiscal years. EisnerAmper does not audit the Company’s 401(k) plan.

The Audit Committee has considered whether EisnerAmper’s provision of services other than professional services rendered for the audit and review of our financial statements is compatible with maintaining EisnerAmper’s independence, and has determined that it is so compatible.

All audit, audit-related, tax and other services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to applicable regulations. The Audit Committee currently pre-approves all engagements of the Company’s accountants to provide both audit and non-audit services, and has not established formal pre-approval policies or procedures. The Audit Committee did not approve any non-audit services pursuant to Rule 2-01 (c) (7) (i) (C) of Regulation S-X during 2014.
