Election of Board Member

On February 27, 2017, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of GlassBridge Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company" or "we") elected Robert G. Torricelli to the Board as a Class I director, with a term expiring at our annual stockholder meeting in 2018 or until his successor is duly elected and qualified or his earlier resignation, removal, incapacity or death. Mr. Torricelli’s election fills a vacancy on the Board. The Board is expected to determine that Mr. Torricelli qualifies as an independent director under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Mr. Torricelli is expected to be appointed to serve as a member of the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board.

Mr. Torricelli, age 66, served in the U.S. House of Representatives from the Ninth District of New Jersey from 1982 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 1996, where he served until 2003. During his tenure in the Senate, Mr. Torricelli was a member of the Senate Finance, Governmental Affairs, Foreign Relations, Judiciary and Rules Committees and also served as Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Upon retiring from the Senate, Mr. Torricelli established a national and international business strategy firm, Rosemont Associates LLC, and created a real estate development business, Woodrose Properties LLC.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Torricelli and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Torricelli was selected as a director of the Company. There are no transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which Mr. Torricelli has an interest.

Mr. Torricelli will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s standard cash and equity compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to our 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2016.
