TABLE TRAC, INC.
6101 Baker Road, Suite 206
Minnetonka, Minnesota 55345
PROXY STATEMENT
2018 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
to be held on October 29, 2018
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by the Board of Directors of Table Trac, Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at HILTON GARDEN INN, 6330 Point Chase, Eden Prairie, MN 55344, and any adjournment
or postponement thereof, for the purpose of considering and taking appropriate action with respect to the following:
|
1.
|
To elect directors to the Company’s Board of Directors; and
|
|
2.
|
To ratify the appointment of Boulay P.L.L.P. as our independent registered public accounting firm
for fiscal year 2018.
|
This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy
card are first being mailed or given to stockholders on or about September 14, 2018.
Note
:
The Annual Meeting is being held
in a new location.
Proxies and Voting Procedures
Only holders of record of our common stock
at the close of business on September 7, 2018 (the ”record date”), will be entitled to attend and vote at the Annual
Meeting or any adjournments thereof. There were 4,518,602 shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date. Each share
of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders at the Annual Meeting.
A quorum, consisting of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, must be present
in person or represented by proxy before legal action may be taken at the Annual Meeting.
Each proxy returned to the Company will
be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated thereon; provided, however, that if no direction is given by a stockholder
who returns a properly executed proxy, then the shares will be voted as recommended by the Company’s Board of Directors.
If a stockholder abstains from voting on any matter, then the abstention will be counted for purposes of determining whether a
quorum is present at the Annual Meeting for the transaction of business as well as shares entitled to vote on that matter. Under
the Bylaws of the Company, the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of shares of stock present in person or represented
by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required for ratification and approval of each proposal contained
in this Proxy Statement, other than the election of directors. For the election of directors, director-nominees are approved upon
their receipt of a plurality of votes cast at the meeting. Accordingly, an abstention on any matter (other than the election of
directors) will have the same effect as a vote against that matter. In the case of the election of directors (who are elected by
a plurality of votes cast), an abstention is the equivalent of simply not casting a vote.
A “broker non-vote” occurs when
a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on one proposal, but does not vote on another proposal because the nominee
does not have discretionary voting power and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes on a matter
are counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum for the Annual Meeting, but are not considered “entitled to
vote” on that particular matter. Consequently, broker non-votes generally do not have the same effect as a negative vote.
Each stockholder who signs and returns a
proxy card in the form enclosed with this Proxy Statement may revoke the proxy at any time prior to its use by giving notice of
revocation to our Secretary in writing, in open meeting, or by executing and delivering a new proxy card to our Secretary. Unless
revoked, the shares represented by each proxy card will be voted at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournments thereof. A stockholder’s
mere presence at the Annual Meeting does not revoke any proxy that the stockholder has previously delivered.
Please note that if you are a beneficial
owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other agent (commonly referred to as holding
your shares in “street name”), you will have received a voting instruction form with these proxy materials from that
organization rather than from the Company. In such a case, you should complete and mail the voting instruction form as instructed
by your broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other agent to ensure that your vote is counted. Alternatively, you may vote by telephone
or over the Internet as instructed by your broker, bank, custodian, nominee or other agent. If you hold your shares in street name
and you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, then you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank, custodian, nominee
or other agent. To do so, follow the instructions you received with these proxy materials, or contact your broker, bank, custodian,
nominee or other agent to request a legal proxy form. You may also request a legal proxy at
www.proxyvote.com
.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (Proposal One)
The Company’s directors are elected
upon a plurality of votes cast. If elected or re-elected, each nominee has consented to serve as a director of the Company, to
hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and shall have qualified. If any director-nominee
should withdraw or otherwise become unavailable for reasons not presently known, the proxies that would have otherwise been voted
for that director nominee may be voted for a substitute director nominee selected by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Set forth below is information
regarding the individuals nominated for election to the Board of Directors, which includes information furnished by them as to
their principal occupations for the last five years, certain other directorships held by them, and their ages as of the date of
this Proxy Statement:
Chad Hoehne (age 56) - Director since 1999
Mr. Hoehne is the President, CEO and Founder
of the Company. He is responsible for leading the Company’s technology initiatives. Computer Programming has been his passion

he was the Senior Commander of St. Paul’s Homicide and Robbery Unit. Bill has also been committed to numerous Community Building
Initiatives over the years. In addition to his extensive experience in multiple facets of law enforcement, Bill is a skilled leader
with strong communication and teaching skills and will be highly effective in developing the Company’s organizational and
ongoing development vision.
Thomas J. Mertens (age 53) – New

from $60M to $130M mainly through acquisitions. Tom began his career as an auditor for KPMG Peat Marwick in Minneapolis. Tom is
a proven leader and will bring that skill and decades of experience to the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote
FOR each of the above-named director-nominees.
Disclosure/clarification
In
December of 2017, Brian Hinchley resigned from his positions as CEO and CFO at the Company. A search committee was formed to fill
the position of Chief Financial Officer. Chad Hoehne, the company founder, assumed the position of CEO. In a timely manner, the
committee was most fortunate to find not only a most qualified candidate, but one who was also a shareholder. In January of 2018,
Mr. Randy Gilbert accepted the CFO position. That announcement and Mr. Gilbert’s resume appear in the 8-K filed by the Company
on January 12, 2018.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
Board of Directors and Independence
The Board of Directors has a standing Compensation
Committee, Audit Committee and Compliance Committee. The Compensation Committee is composed of Messrs. Browne, Fornetti and Loebig
(with Mr. Loebig serving as chairperson). The Audit Committee is composed of Messrs. Browne, Fornetti and Loebig (with Mr. Fornetti
serving as chairperson). The Compliance Committee is made up of Messrs. Loebig, Randy Sayre and Chad Hoehne (with Mr. Loebig as
chairperson). Each of the foregoing committees has a written charter, a copy of each of which is available at our website at
www.tabletrac.com
.
The composition of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee complies with the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Marketplace
Rules. The Compliance Committee complies with the rules of the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The Board of Directors has determined that
Messrs. Browne, Fornetti and Loebig are each “independent,” as such term is defined in Section 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq
Marketplace Rules, and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight
Our Board of Directors is led by a Chairman
of the Board who is an independent director, although all of our directors (including our independent directors) participate in
board leadership. Presently, Mr. Browne serves as our Chairman of the Board. Because a majority of our directors are independent
and all of the members of our board participate in leadership, we believe the leadership structure of our Board of Directors allows
it to maintain oversight of our management and to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of the stockholders.
Management and our Board of Directors discuss
risks primarily in our board meetings. These discussions generally identify risks that are prioritized and assigned to the appropriate
board committee or the full Board for oversight. Our entire Board of Directors periodically discusses our management or risks.
Additional review or reporting on Company risks is conducted as needed or as requested by management, the Board of Directors, a
board committee, or any single director.
Board Meetings
The Board of Directors held three formal
meetings during fiscal 2017 and took action by written consent in lieu of a meeting on one occasion. During fiscal 2017, the Audit
Committee held four formal meetings, and the Compensation Committee and Compliance Committee each held two formal meetings. The
Board of Directors attended 100% of the board meetings and meetings of committees to which they belong. Although we have no formal
policy regarding directors’ attendance at our annual stockholder meetings, we encourage our directors to attend those meetings.
All of our directors serving on the Board of Directors at the time of our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders attended that meeting.
Audit Committee Financial Expert and Related Matters
The Board of Directors has determined that
at least one member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Lou Fornetti, is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term
is defined in Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Mr. Fornetti qualifies as an “independent
director,” as such term is defined in Section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Rules, and meets the criteria for independence
set forth in Rule 10A -3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board of Directors has determined each member of
the Audit Committee is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and that at least one member of the Audit Committee
has past experience in finance or accounting matters.
Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee is responsible primarily
for providing oversight and monitoring the preparation and review of our financial statements, which are provided to stockholders
and the general public in the disclosures we file with the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for appointing,
and reviewing the services of, our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee does not prepare our
financial statements or determine whether our financial statements are complete and accurate. Rather, our management is responsible
for preparing our financial statements. Our independent registered public accountants are responsible for auditing our financial
statements to ensure their completeness and accuracy.
The Audit Committee also oversees our accounting
policies and the internal controls over financial reporting, which our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining
and our independent registered accountants are responsible for reviewing to determine effectiveness.
In fulfilling its oversight over our independent
registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee carefully reviews the engagement of the independent registered public accounting
firm, which includes, among other things, the scope of the audit; fees; the assigned partner(s) and other personnel and their industry
experience; auditor independence; peer and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) reviews; significant legal proceedings;
previous experience with the firm’s performance; and any non-audit services performed by our independent registered public
accounting firm.
The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed
the audit and the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 with management and Boulay, including a discussion
related to the accounting principles used that are unique to this industry. The Audit Committee also has received and reviewed
the written disclosures and the letter from Boulay required by the PCAOB regarding Boulay’s communications with the Audit
Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Boulay its independence. The Audit Committee also discussed with Boulay
the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, “Communications with Audit Committees” issued by
the PCAOB. The Audit Committee meets independently with management, independently with Boulay, and also in executive session with
only the Committee members present.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred
to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the financial statements referred to above be included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
AUDIT COMMITTEE:
Steven A. Browne
Louis Fornetti (Chair)
Gary Loebig
Compensation Committee
Our Compensation Committee is charged with
oversight responsibility for the adequacy and effectiveness of our executive compensation and benefit plans and is primarily responsible
for all matters relating to compensation of our executive officers and the directors, the adoption of all employee compensation
and employee benefit plans and the administration of such plans, including granting stock incentives or other benefits and the
review and approval of disclosures regarding executive compensation included in this Proxy Statement. Our Compensation Committee
has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from external legal, accounting or other advisors and has the authority to retain,
terminate and approve the fees payable to any external compensation consultant to assist in the evaluation of director and senior
executive compensation. Nevertheless, any services to be rendered by our independent accounting firm must be pre-approved by the
Audit Committee under our policy regarding the pre-approval of such services.
Nomination of Directors
The Company does
not have a standing nominating committee (or other committee performing similar functions). The Company does not employ any
charter or other form of official written policy or guidelines for the purposes of considering director-nominees.
Nevertheless, when considering director -nominees, the Company recruits and considers candidates without regard to race,
color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin or disability. Generally, the Company will consider each candidate’s
business and industry experience, his or her ability to act on behalf of stockholders, overall board diversity, potential
concerns regarding independence or conflicts of interest and other factors relevant in evaluating director-nominees.
Typically, the candidates will meet with all members of the management team. Management will also consider a
candidate’s personal attributes, including without limitation personal integrity, loyalty to the Company and concern
for its success and welfare, willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment, awareness of a director’s
vital role in the Company’s good corporate citizenship and image, time available for meetings and consultation on
Company matters, and willingness to assume broad fiduciary responsibility.
Our stockholders may recommend to the Board
of Directors candidates to be considered for election at the Company’s annual stockholders meeting. In order to make such
a recommendation, a stockholder generally must submit the recommendation in writing to the Board of Directors, in care of the Company’s
Secretary, at the address of the Company’s headquarters, at least 120 days prior to the mailing date of the previous year’s
annual meeting proxy statement.
Code of Ethics
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics
that governs the conduct of our officers, directors and employees in order to promote honesty, integrity, loyalty and the accuracy
of our financial statements.
Related-Party Transaction Policy
In all cases, the Company abides by applicable
state corporate law when approving all transactions, including transactions involving officers, directors or affiliates. More particularly,
the Company’s policy is to have any related-party transactions (
i.e.,
transactions involving a director, an officer
or an affiliate of the Company) be approved solely by a majority of the disinterested and independent directors serving on the
Board of Directors.
Stockholder Communications with Directors
Our Board of Directors has established a
means for stockholders and others to communicate with the Board of Directors. If a stockholder has a concern regarding our financial
statements, accounting practices or internal controls, governance practices, business ethics or corporate conduct, the concern
should be submitted in writing to Mr. Chad Hoehne, CEO, in care of our Secretary, at the address of the Company’s headquarters.
If a stockholder is unsure as to which category the concern relates, the stockholder may communicate it to any independent director,
in care of our Secretary, at the address of the Company’s headquarters. All such stockholder communications will be forwarded
to the applicable director(s).
Compliance Committee
Although the Company has always had a Compliance
Officer, with our Nevada licensure, this element has grown increasingly more important and demanding. We not only have a Compliance
Committee, but we have a Nevada consultant on the Compliance Committee who was a previous member of the Nevada Gaming Control Board
(NGCB). The three-person Compliance Committee consists of an outside Board member, Chad Hoehne, CEO, and our external consultant.
In addition, the company’s Compliance Officer (Bob Siqveland), with 40 years’ experience in this capacity, provides
a report to the Compliance Committee every quarter at Compliance Committee meetings. The Compliance Officer then sends the required
quarterly and annual reports to various department heads in the Nevada oversight structure to include the NGCB.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information
regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 7, 2018, by (i) each person known by the Company to be the beneficial
owner of more than five percent of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each current director, (iii) each executive officer of the
Company and other persons identified as a named executive in the Summary Compensation Table, and (iv) all current executive officers
and directors as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated, each person
or entity named in the table has sole voting power and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite his, her

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes general voting power and/or investment
power with respect to securities. Under the applicable SEC rules, each person’s beneficial ownership is calculated by dividing
the total number of shares with respect to which they possess beneficial ownership by the total number of outstanding shares of
the Company. In any case where an individual has beneficial ownership over securities that are not outstanding but that are issuable
upon the exercise of options or warrants or similar rights within the next 60 days, that same number of shares is added to the
denominator in the calculation described above. Because the calculation of each person’s beneficial ownership set forth in
the “Percentage of Common Shares” column of the table may include shares that are not presently outstanding, the sum
total of the percentages set forth in such column may exceed 100%.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING
COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers, directors and persons considered to be beneficial owners of more than ten percent
of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC
and NASDAQ. Officers, directors and greater-than-ten-percent shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company
with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the copies of
such forms furnished to the Company by its officers and directors or the Company’s actual knowledge of transactions involving
such officers and directors, the Company believes that all such filings were filed on a timely basis for fiscal year 2017.
RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
FIRM
(Proposal Two)
Our Board of Directors is committed to the
quality, integrity and transparency of the Company’s financial reports. Independent auditors play an important part in our
system of financial control. Our Board of Directors and its Audit Committee has appointed Boulay P.L.L.P. (“Boulay”)
as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018. A representative of Boulay is
expected to attend the Annual Meeting and will be available to make statements and respond to questions from stockholders.
If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment
of Boulay, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee may reconsider its selection but is not required to do so. Notwithstanding
the proposed ratification of the appointment of Boulay by the stockholders, the Board of Directors and Audit Committee may, in
their discretion, direct the appointment of a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year without
notice to, or the consent of, the stockholders, if the Board of Directors or Audit Committee determines that such a change would
be in the best interests of the Company.

Audit Fees consist of fees for (a) professional services rendered for the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements
included in our annual report, (b) review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports, and (c)
services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. Includes certain year-end
audit invoices received in 2018.
|
|
(2)
|
Tax Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and
tax planning.
|
|
(3)
|
Audit-Related Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered that are reasonably related to the performance of the
audit or review of our consolidated financial statements but not reported under the “Audit Fees” category. This category
may include fees related to (a) the performance of audits and attestation services not required by statute or regulations, and
(b) accounting consultations about the application of generally accepted accounting principles to proposed transactions.
|
The Board of Directors has reviewed the
services provided by Boulay during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and the amounts billed for such services. After consideration,
the Board of Directors has determined that the receipt of these fees by Boulay is compatible with the provision of independent
audit services. The Audit Committee has discussed these services and fees with Boulay management to determine that they are appropriate
under the rules and regulations concerning auditor independence promulgated by the SEC to implement the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
as well as under guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing,
setting compensation for and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has
established a policy for pre-approving the services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in accordance
with the auditor-independence rules of the SEC. This policy requires the review and pre-approval by the Audit Committee (or the
full Board of Directors) of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting
firm and an annual review of the financial plan for audit fees. During fiscal 2017, 100% of the audit-related and tax services
provided by our independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by our Audit Committee in conformity with its pre-approval
policy.
To ensure that auditor independence is maintained,
the Audit Committee annually pre-approves the audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm
and the related estimated fees for such services, as well as the nature and extent of specific types of audit-related, tax and
other non-audit services to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.
The Board of Directors recommends
a vote FOR the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND
DISCRETIONARY PROXY VOTING AUTHORITY
Any stockholder desiring to submit a proposal
for action by the stockholders at the next annual stockholders’ meeting, which will be the 2018 annual meeting, must submit
that proposal in writing to the Secretary of the Company at the Company’s corporate headquarters no later than May 11, 2018
to have the proposal included in the Company’s proxy statement for that meeting (unless the date of the Company’s 2018
annual meeting of stockholders varies more than 30 days from October 29, 2018, in which case a stockholder proposal is due a reasonable
amount of time prior to when the Company begins to print and mail its proxy statement for that meeting). Due to the complexity
of the respective rights of the stockholders and the Company in this area, any stockholder desiring to propose such an action is
advised to consult with his or her legal counsel with respect to such rights. The Company suggests that any such proposal be submitted
by certified mail, return-receipt requested.
Rule 14a-4 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 governs the Company’s use of its discretionary proxy voting authority with respect to a stockholder
proposal that the stockholder has not sought to include in the Company’s proxy statement. Rule 14a-4 provides that if a proponent
of a proposal fails to notify the Company at least 45 days prior to the month and day of mailing of the prior year’s proxy
statement, then management proxies will be allowed to use their discretionary voting authority when the proposal is raised at the
meeting, without any discussion of the matter.
SOLICITATION
The Company will bear the cost of preparing,
assembling and mailing the proxy, Proxy Statement, Annual Report and other materials that may be sent to the stockholders in connection
with this solicitation. Brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries may be requested to forward soliciting
material to the beneficial owners of stock, in which case they may be reimbursed by the Company for their expenses in doing so.
Proxies are being solicited primarily by mail. Nevertheless, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally,
by telephone, by special letter, or via the Internet.
The Board of Directors does not intend to
present to the meeting any other matter not referred to above and does not presently know of any matters that may be presented
to the meeting by others. If, however, other matters come before the meeting, it is the intent of the persons named in the enclosed
proxy to vote the proxy in accordance with their best judgment.
