THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" EACH OF THE NOMINEES NAMED ABOVE.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board of Directors currently consists of five (5) directors as described in "Proposal 1: Election of Directors." Our Board of Directors believes that there should be a majority of independent directors on the Board of Directors. We follow the rules under the NYSE MKT Company Code for determining an “independent director.” Our Board of Directors also believes that it is useful and appropriate to have members of management as directors. The current board members include three (3) independent directors and two (2) non-independent directors.

The Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Aynilian, Caesar and Hague are "independent," based on the standards set forth by the SEC and NYSE MKT Company Code. The Board has also determined that with respect to each independent director no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment by such director in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

The Board of Directors has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Nominating Committee, and the Compensation Committee.

The positions of Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel of the Company are held by Mr. Krikorian. The combination of these offices is felt to be appropriate for the Company due to the Company’s size and Mr. Krikorian’s participation as an officer of, and counsel to, the Company in the operations and financing of the Company which are his primary responsibilities. In addition, the Company’s independent Directors, including Mr. Caesar, who is Chairman of the Audit Committee and is deemed to be the lead independent director, are involved in the review and analysis of both the Company’s financial statements and its prospective financing. Mr. Krikorian reports to both Mr. Caesar and Mr. Hague regarding the Company’s financial position and operations. Additionally, Mr. Krikorian regularly communicates with each of the other members of the Board of Directors and keeps such individuals current with the Company’s financing, acquisitions, and sales activities on a regular basis. The Board of Directors considers and approves all financing, acquisitions, and sales activities of the Company and accordingly is kept current with the operational and financial needs of the Company.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The Audit Committee

During 2016, the Audit Committee met one (1) time. The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of the Company's financial accounting and reporting processes. A copy of the Charter of the Audit Committee which describes this and other responsibilities of the Committee is available on the Company’s website at www.globalgoldcorp.com . On May 2, 2011, the Board of Directors amended its Charter for the Audit Committee.

In accordance with the Charter of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee has the sole authority for the appointment, replacement, compensation, and oversight of the work of our independent auditors, reviews the scope and results of audits with our independent auditors, reviews with management and our auditors our annual and interim operating results, considers the adequacy of our internal controls over financial reporting, our disclosure controls and procedures.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding our accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, and the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Aynilian and Caesar. Each of the current members of the Audit Committee is "independent" under the standards established by the SEC for members of audit committees and each member is "independent" under the standards set forth by the NYSE MKT for its listed companies . Pursuant to the NYSE MKT Company Code, our audit committee will consist of a minimum of two (2) independent members. Mr. Caesar has been determined by our Board of Directors to meet the qualifications of an "audit committee financial expert" in accordance with SEC rules.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be "soliciting material" or "filed" or incorporated by reference in future filings with the SEC, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

The Audit Committee has, among other activities, (i) reviewed and discussed with management our audited annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 (in process as of April 28, 2017); (ii) discussed with RBSM LLP, the Company’s independent auditors, the matters required to be discussed by American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Auditing Standards Board in Auditing Standards No. 61 "Communications with Audit Committees" and (iii) considered the independence of RBSM LLP, by having discussions with representatives of RBSM LLP, having received and reviewed a letter from them including disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees." On the basis of the above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The committee is responsible for the development of (i) corporate governance principles intended to promote the efficient, effective and transparent governance of the Company, and (ii) procedures for the identification and selection of individuals qualified to become directors. Stockholders are encouraged to recommend individuals for consideration to become nominees to the Board of Directors as set forth in the "Stockholders Proposals and Director Nominations", section of this proxy statement below. The Nominating Committee uses established criteria for the selection of nominees and reviews each candidate to determine if the candidate has the appropriate skills and characteristics required of board members. Although the Company does not have a specific policy relating to diversity of its Directors, in evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee considers issues of independence, diversity and expertise in numerous areas, including experience in the gold mining industry, finance, marketing, and international affairs. The Nominating Committee selects individuals of the highest personal and professional integrity who have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment in their field and who would work effectively with the other directors and nominees to the Board of Directors.

The Nominating Committee currently consists of Messrs. Aynilian, Caesar and Hague. Each of the current members of the Nominating Committee is "independent" under the standards set forth by the NYSE MKT for its listed companies.

The Compensation Committee

On May 2, 2011, the Board of Directors amended its Charter for the Compensation Committee, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website at www.globalgoldcorp.com .

During 2016, the Compensation Committee met one (1) time. The Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of the compensation of the directors and officers of the Company.

In 2016, each of our directors attended one hundred percent (100%) of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which he served. We do not currently have a policy requiring attendance of our directors at our annual meetings of stockholders.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors believes that compensation for our directors should be equity-based compensation. Our independent directors do not receive consulting, advisory or other compensatory fees from us in addition to their compensation as directors.

In July 2002, our Board of Directors had adopted a compensation policy for the directors that consists of annual awards of 50,000 shares of Common Stock to each director in recognition of his ongoing services as director. No additional fees are paid for service on the Committees of the Board.

Beginning in 2007, the Company changed its policy to grant options as director compensation and not issue awards of Common Stock. In 2011, rather than expand the option plan, the Company returned to a policy of issuing awards of Common Stock as compensation.

On April 25, 2016, the Company approved 50,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock as director compensation for the fiscal year 2016 to each Messrs. Aynilian, Gallagher, Caesar, Hague, and Krikorian at $0.02 per share for a total value of $5,000 based on that dates fair market value. Mr. Hague is not accepting director compensation for 2016; those shares will be donated to a charity designated by Directors other than Mr. Hague.

The Company maintains its practice of reimbursing reasonable expenses incurred for service on the Board or any of its Committees.

Directors' Compensation For Year 2016

The following table reflects the equity compensation received during the 2016 fiscal year by each non-management director who served on the Company's Board of Directors and the Committees of the Board of Directors. No cash compensation was paid to the Company’s non-management Directors.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

It is our policy that all employees must avoid any activity that is or has the appearance of being hostile, adverse or competitive with Global Gold, or that interferes with the proper performance of their duties, responsibilities or loyalty to Global Gold.

In addition to the Global Gold policy described above, the SEC has specific disclosure requirements covering certain types of transactions involving Global Gold and a director, executive officer or other specified party. Except as described below, with regard to SEC rules, we have not engaged in any transaction, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of 2012, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which Global Gold or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for each of 2016 and 2015 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners of more than 5% of our Common Stock or members of their immediate families had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

On January 22, 2014, the Company received loans from Drury Gallagher and Ian Hague, Directors of the Company, in the amounts of $373,000 and $127,000, respectively, which carry at an annual rate of 9%. As of December 31, 2016, these amounts remain unpaid and the Company has accrued interest of $132,411.

None of the following persons has been indebted to Global Gold or its subsidiaries at any time since the beginning of 2012: any of our directors or executive officers; any nominee for election as a director; any member of the immediate family of any of our directors, executive officers or nominees for director; any corporation or organization of which any of our directors, executive officers or nominees is an executive officer or partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 10% or more of any class of equity securities (except trade debt entered into in the ordinary course of business); and any trust or other estate in which any of the directors, executive officers or nominees for director has a substantial beneficial interest or for which such person serves as a trustee or in a similar capacity.

We do not believe that in any material circumstance either Global Gold or another corporation or organization is a sole-source supplier to the other with regard to the any good or service. We also do not believe that in any case the director, executive officer, or nominee for director receives any compensation from another corporation or organization that is directly linked to the revenue or profits of the Global Gold-related business.

The advisory shareholder vote, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” vote, provides shareholders with the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the Company’s fiscal 2016 compensation programs and policies as discussed in the proxy statement.

As described in our Compensation Committee Charter, the Company’s compensation philosophy has been designed to deliver competitive total compensation upon the achievement of annual and long-term financial goals that will attract, motivate and retain leaders who will drive the creation of shareholder value. The primary compensation principle, therefore, is to target total delivered compensation at approximately the median of a customized group of comparator companies.

The Committee believes that our executive compensation programs, executive officer pay levels and individual pay actions approved for our executive officers, including our named executive officers, are directly aligned with our executive compensation philosophy, fully support its goals and provide an appropriate balance between risk and incentives.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement.

Shareholders should note that the vote is advisory and not binding on the Company and its Board of Directors or Compensation Committee. Our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee value the opinion of our Shareholders, and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in our Proxy Statement, we will consider our Shareholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND OTHER MATTERS

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

On April 4, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted a Code of Ethics (the "Code of Ethics") as required by the SEC rules, which applies to all of our directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Ethics sets forth our commitment to conduct our business in accordance with the highest standards of business ethics and to promote the highest standards of honesty and ethical conduct by our directors, executive officers and employees. A copy of the Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.globalgoldcorp.com.

QUORUM AND VOTE REQUIRED

As of the record date, there were 91,977,559 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum at the meeting. The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting (assuming a quorum is present) is required for the election of the directors (Proposal No.1). The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock cast on the matter at the Annual Meeting (assuming a quorum is present) is required for the ratification of the appointment of our auditors (Proposal No. 2) and the advisory vote on executive compensation (Proposal No.3). In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. For the other items of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.”

For the purposes of determining whether the stockholders have approved matters other than the election of directors under Delaware last, abstentions are treated as shares present or represented and voting, so abstaining has the same effect as a negative vote. If your shares are held by a broker on your behalf (that is, in “street name”), and you do not instruct the broker as to how to vote these shares on proposal 1, the broker may not exercise discretion to vote for or against this proposal. This would be a “broker non-vote” and these shares will not be counted as having been voted on the applicable proposal. With respect to proposal 2, the broker may exercise its discretion to vote for or against that proposal in the absence of your instruction. Please instruct your bank or broker so your vote can be counted.

VOTING BY PROXY

Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by proxy. You can vote by proxy by using the proxy card. The persons named as attorneys-in-face in the proxy, Jan Dulman and John E. Schmeltzer, were selected by the Board of Directors. All properly executed proxies returned in time to be counted at the meeting will be voted at the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as directed by the proxy. If a properly executed proxy is submitted and no instructions are given, the proxy will be voted FOR the election of the directors named in this Proxy Statement and FOR the ratification for the appointment of our auditors. It is not anticipated that any matters other than those set forth in this Proxy Statement will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If other matters are presented, proxies will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders.

Any shareholder delivering a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company, by executing and delivering to the Secretary a proxy card bearing a later date or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

The cost of solicitation of proxies in the form enclosed herewith will be paid by Global Gold. We expect to pay fees and expenses in the amount of $5,000 to American Registrar & Transfer Company and Broadridge Financial Solutions for services in connection with the solicitation of proxies. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone without additional compensation for such activities. We will also request persons, firms and corporations holding shares in their names or in the names of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others, to send proxy materials to and obtain proxies from such beneficial owners. We will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses.

STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board may do so by sending written communications addressed to the Board of Directors, Global Gold Corporation, 555 Theodore Fremd Avenue, Suite C-305, Rye, NY 10580.

The Board of Directors has instructed the Secretary, or other employee designated by the Secretary, to forward correspondence to the intended recipients; however, the Board of Directors has also instructed the Secretary, or such employee designated by the Secretary, to review such correspondence and, in his discretion, not to forward items that are deemed commercial, frivolous or otherwise inappropriate for consideration by the Board of Directors. In such cases, correspondence may be forwarded elsewhere for review and possible response.
