General

Remark Holdings, Inc. (“Remark,” “we,” “us” or “our”), is making this proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) available to you on or about April 18, 2018 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors (the “Board” or “Board of Directors”) for the Remark Holdings, Inc. 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The proxy materials, which you can find at www.envisionreports.com/MARK, include the Proxy Statement, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 (the “ 2017 Form 10-K”), and the form of proxy. References in the Proxy Statement to the Annual Meeting also refer to any adjournments, postponements or changes in location of the meeting, to the extent applicable.

Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we are providing access to our proxy materials over the Internet rather than printing and mailing them to all stockholders. We believe electronic delivery will expedite the receipt of these materials, reduce the environmental impact of our annual meeting materials and will help lower our costs. Therefore, we are mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice of Internet Availability”) to stockholders (or e-mailing, in the case of stockholders that have previously requested to receive proxy materials electronically) starting on or about April 18, 2018 . The Notice of Internet Availability will provide instructions as to how stockholders may access and review the proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability or, alternatively, how to request that a copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card, be sent to them by mail. The Notice of Internet Availability will also provide voting instructions. In addition, stockholders may request to receive the proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by e-mail on an ongoing basis for future stockholder meetings. Please note that, although our proxy materials are available on our website, no other information contained on the website is incorporated by reference in or considered to be a part of this Proxy Statement.

Attending the Meeting in Person

All Stockholders may attend the Annual Meeting in person. If you attend in person and you are a registered Stockholder, meaning that you own shares of our Common Stock that were issued in your name such that your name appears on the stock register provided by our transfer agent, Computershare LLC, then you only need to present a government-issued photo identification. If you own shares of our Common Stock held by a broker or nominee, then you are considered a “beneficial owner” of such Common Stock. In addition to government-issued photo identification, beneficial owners of our Common Stock must also present proof of their beneficial ownership on the record date, such as their most recent account statement dated prior to the record date, a copy of the voting instructions provided by their broker or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership. If you do not comply with the procedures outlined above, we cannot admit you to the Annual Meeting.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit an executed proxy with voting instructions (or that you instruct your broker or nominee to submit an executed proxy with voting instructions) so your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

VOTING INFORMATION

The Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote at the Annual Meeting. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares.

Meeting Agenda and Voting Recommendations



Proposal	Voting Recommendation of our Board of Directors	Page on Which You May Find More Information
Election of five directors	FOR each director nominee	3
Ratification of the appointment of Cherry Bekaert LLP (“Cherry Bekaert”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2018	FOR	7

Voting Your Shares

All Stockholders are entitled to cast one vote per share on all matters. Please follow the voting instructions provided on the Notice of Internet Availability. If you choose to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting by proxy and you indicate your voting choices, your shares will be voted as you instructed. If you execute a proxy without indicating your vote, your shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations noted in the table above and in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting.

If you are a registered Stockholder, we must receive your vote by proxy before the polls close at the Annual Meeting, except that votes submitted via the Internet or telephone must be received by 10:00 p.m. PT on May 30, 2018 .

If you are the beneficial owner of shares of our Common Stock, please follow the instructions provided by your broker or nominee regarding how to provide your voting instructions. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or nominee, they can still vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” items, but they cannot vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Cherry Bekaert as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2018 is considered a discretionary item, while the election of directors is a non-discretionary item. Regarding non-discretionary items, the number of shares for which you do not provide voting instructions to your broker or nominee will be counted as “broker non-votes”. Broker non-votes are shares which are held on behalf of a beneficial owner by a broker or nominee which indicates on its proxy that it did not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter. You may vote your beneficially-owned shares in person at the Annual Meeting only if at the Annual Meeting you present a legal proxy provided to you by your broker or nominee.



Table of Contents	2

Proxy instructions, ballots and voting tabulations that identify individual Stockholders are handled in a manner that protects the voting privacy of such individual Stockholders. Stockholders’ votes will not be disclosed either within Remark or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements; (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote; and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a registered Stockholder, you may revoke your proxy and your voting instructions at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by:


•	sending written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary;


•	submitting a new, properly-executed proxy dated later than the date of the revoked proxy; or


•	attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares of our Common Stock, you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker or nominee. You may also vote in person at the Annual Meeting as described in the previous section. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.

Vote Required

As of April 6, 2018 , the record date, there were 32,842,399 shares of Common Stock outstanding and there were no outstanding shares of any other class of stock. Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, or 16,421,200 shares, must be present at the Annual Meeting in person or must be represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy to constitute a quorum allowing for the transaction of business. Broker non-votes and abstentions are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, but they do not affect the outcome of voting on the proposals mentioned below.

In the election of directors (Proposal 1), each director nominee receiving a plurality of the affirmative (“FOR”) votes cast will be elected (meaning that the five director nominees who receive the highest number of shares voted “for” their election are elected). We do not use cumulative voting for the election of directors.

The ratification of the appointment of Cherry Bekaert as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 (Proposal 2) requires the affirmative (“FOR”) vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this proposal).

PROPOSALS TO BE SUBMITTED FOR VOTING

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

There are five nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting: Theodore P. Botts, William W. Grounds, Brett Ratner, Daniel Stein and Kai-Shing Tao. Each of the nominees currently serves as a director.

Each director is elected annually to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Except where authority to vote for directors has been withheld, it is intended that the proxies received pursuant to this solicitation will be voted “FOR” the nominees named below. If for any reason any nominee does not stand for election, such proxies will be voted in favor of the remainder of those named and may be voted for substitute nominees in place of those who do not stand. Management has no reason to expect that any of the nominees will not stand for election. The election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the affirmative (“FOR”) votes cast.

Director Qualifications

The Board comprises a diverse group of leaders in their respective fields. Some of the current directors have senior leadership experience at major domestic and international corporations. In these positions, they have gained experience in core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, public company financial reporting, compliance, risk management, and leadership development. Some of our directors also have experience serving on boards of directors and board committees of other public companies, and have an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends, which provides an understanding of different business processes, challenges, and strategies. Other directors have experience as principals in private investment and advisory firms, which brings financial expertise and unique perspectives to the Board. Our directors also have other experience that makes them valuable members, such as experience managing technology and media companies, or developing and pursuing investment or business opportunities in international markets, which provides insight into strategic and operational issues faced by Remark.

The Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the above-mentioned attributes, along with the leadership skills and other experiences of the director nominees described below, provide us with a diverse range of perspectives and judgment necessary to guide our strategies and monitor their execution.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under §16(a) of the Exchange Act, our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our Common Stock must file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC, and under SEC regulations, they must furnish us with copies of all §16(a) forms filed. To our knowledge, based solely upon our review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, we believe that our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our Common Stock complied with all §16(a) filing requirements during 2017 , except that on March 17, 2017, Mr. Stein filed an Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 3 in connection with his election as a director on March 1, 2017, and on March 28, 2017, Mr. Ratner filed an Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities on Form 3 in connection with his election as a director on March 1, 2017.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Agreement with Brett Ratner

On June 29, 2016, we entered into an advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Brett Ratner, one of our directors, under which he was to: (a) make himself available, at our request, for purposes of consulting on matters related to our business, (b) use reasonable efforts to enhance our business prospects by, among other things, providing business contacts, (c) attend our Board meetings at our request, and (d) perform such other functions as mutually agreed with us. Concurrent with the execution of the Advisory Agreement, and in compensation for the services Mr. Ratner was to provide thereunder, we awarded him an option to purchase 50,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.22 per share. As a result of Mr. Ratner’s election to our Board on March 1, 2017, we terminated the Advisory Agreement, and the non-vested portion of his stock option award was deemed to vest on June 29, 2017.

Vote Required

Each nominee receiving a plurality of the affirmative (“FOR”) votes cast will be elected to the Board (meaning that the five director nominees who receive the highest number of shares voted “for” their election are elected). “Withhold” votes and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the election of the nominees.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the election of each of its nominees to the Board to serve until the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee of the Board has appointed Cherry Bekaert as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 . Although this appointment does not require ratification, the Board has directed that the appointment of Cherry Bekaert be submitted to stockholders for ratification due to the significance of the appointment. If stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Cherry Bekaert, the Audit Committee will consider the appointment of another independent registered public accounting firm.

Cherry Bekaert served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 . We do not expect a representative of Cherry Bekaert to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Audit Committee Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee must pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for us by our independent auditors, subject to the de minimus exceptions



Table of Contents	7

for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act, which should nonetheless be approved by the Board prior to the completion of the audit. Each year, the Audit Committee approves the independent auditor’s retention to audit our financial statements, including the associated fee, before the filing of the previous year’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. At the beginning of the fiscal year, the Audit Committee will evaluate other known potential engagements of the independent auditor, including the scope of work proposed to be performed and the proposed fees, and approve or reject each service, taking into account whether the services are permissible under applicable law and the possible impact of each non-audit service on the independent auditor’s independence from management. At each such subsequent meeting, the auditor and management may present subsequent services for approval. Typically, these would be services, such as due diligence for an acquisition, that would not have been known at the beginning of the year.

Each new engagement of Cherry Bekaert has been approved in advance by the Board, and none of those engagements made use of the de minimus exception to the pre-approval contained in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act.

Fees Billed for the 2017 and 2016 Fiscal Years

The following table presents the aggregate fees billed, by type of fee, in relation to services provided to us by Cherry Bekaert (in thousands):



	Year Ended December 31,
	2017		2016
Audit	$	390	$	360
Audit-related	—		—
Tax	—		—
All other	5		7
Total	$	395	$	367

The audit fees for 2016 include fees for services performed in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements for the 2016 fiscal year that were billed after the filing of our definitive proxy statement on April 18, 2017. The fees billed in the all-other category represent compensation for services performed primarily in relation to the filing of registration statements.

Vote Required

The affirmative (“FOR”) vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter is required to ratify the appointment of Cherry Bekaert as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 (meaning the number of shares voted “for” this proposal must exceed the number of shares voted “against” this proposal). Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose, and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Cherry Bekaert as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018 .

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table presents information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of April 6, 2018 , by:


•	each person, or group of affiliated persons, known to us to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock;


•	each of our directors and named executive officers (“NEOs”); and


•	all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The amounts and percentages of beneficially-owned Common Stock are reported based upon SEC rules governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. The SEC rules:


•	deem a person a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of a security, or if that person has or shares investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of a security;


•	deem a person a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days, and securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s ownership percentage; and


•	may deem more than one person a beneficial owner of the same securities, and may deem a person a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

Except as otherwise indicated in these footnotes, each of the beneficial owners listed has, to our knowledge, sole voting and investment power with respect to the indicated shares of Common Stock. The information relating to our 5% beneficial owners is based on information we received from such holders. The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 32,842,399 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 6, 2018 .

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Director Independence

The Board has determined that all of our current non-employee directors, and Robert Goldstein and Jason Strauss, who served on our Board until March 1, 2017, are independent within the meaning of SEC and NASDAQ rules. The Board has also determined that all directors serving on the Audit Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee and Compensation Committee are independent within the meaning of SEC and NASDAQ rules.

Board and Committee Meetings

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 :


•	the Board held three meetings;


•	the Audit Committee held four meetings;


•	the Compensation Committee held three meetings; and


•	the Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting.

Each of the directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which he served as a director), and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which he served (during the periods that he served on such committees). We have no written policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of stockholders. Of our directors, only the Chairman of the Board attended last year’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Board Committees

Our Board has three standing committees to assist it with its responsibilities. We describe the three committees, the charters of which are available on our website at http://ir.remarkholdings.com, below.

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is comprised of directors who satisfy the SEC and NASDAQ audit committee membership requirements, and is governed by a Board-approved charter that contains, among other things, the committee’s membership requirements and responsibilities. The committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:


•	appointing, overseeing the work of, determining compensation for, and terminating or retaining the independent registered public accounting firm which audits our financial statements, including assessing such firm’s qualifications and independence;


•	establishing the scope of the annual audit, and approving any other services provided by public accounting firms;



Table of Contents	11


•	providing assistance to the Board in fulfilling the Board’s oversight responsibility to the stockholders, the investment community and others relating to the integrity of our financial statements and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;


•	overseeing our system of disclosure controls and procedures, and our system of internal controls regarding financial accounting, legal compliance and ethics, which management and our Board established; and


•	maintaining free and open communication with our independent auditors, our internal accounting function and our management.

Our Audit Committee is comprised of Messrs. Botts, Grounds and Stein, each of whom is independent under applicable NASDAQ listing standards. Mr. Botts serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee.

The Board determined that Mr. Botts is the committee’s financial expert, as defined under the Exchange Act. The Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Botts’ level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including his experience as a financial professional.

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:


•	determining all compensation for our CEO;


•	reviewing and approving corporate goals relevant to the compensation of our CEO, and evaluating the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives;


•	reviewing and approving the compensation of other executive officers;


•	reviewing and approving objectives relevant to the compensation of other executive officers, and the executive officers’ performance in light of those objectives;


•	administering our equity incentive plans;


•	approving severance arrangements and other applicable agreements for executive officers, and consulting generally with management on matters concerning executive compensation and on pension, savings and welfare benefit plans where Board or stockholder action is contemplated with respect to the adoption of or amendments to such plans; and


•	making recommendations on organization, succession, the election of officers, use of consultants and similar matters where Board approval is required.

Our Compensation Committee is comprised of Messrs. Grounds and Ratner, each of whom is independent under applicable NASDAQ listing standards. Mr. Grounds serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee.

Nominating and Governance Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee considers and makes recommendations on matters related to the practices, policies and procedures of the Board and takes a leadership role in shaping our corporate governance. The committee’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:


•	assessing the size, structure and composition of the Board and its committees;


•	coordinating evaluation of the Board’s performance and reviewing the Board’s compensation; and


•	screening candidates considered for election to the Board.

When screening candidates for Board membership, the committee concerns itself with the composition of the Board with regard to depth of experience, balance of professional interests, required expertise and other factors.



Table of Contents	12

The committee evaluates prospective nominees that it identifies or which are referred to it by other Board members, management, stockholders or external sources, as well as evaluating all self-nominated candidates.

The committee has not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that each candidate for the Board must meet, or specific qualities or skills that one or more directors must possess. However, the committee, when considering a candidate, will factor into its determination the following qualities of a candidate:


•	educational background


•	diversity of professional experience, including whether the person is a current or former CEO or CFO of a public company or the head of a division of a large international organization


•	knowledge of our business


•	integrity


•	professional reputation


•	strength of character


•	mature judgment


•	relevant technical experience


•	diversity


•	independence


•	wisdom


•	ability to represent the best interests of our stockholders

The committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem to be in the best interests of Remark and its stockholders.

The committee uses the same criteria for evaluating candidates nominated by stockholders and self-nominated candidates as it does for those proposed by other Board members, management and search companies. For more information on how stockholders can nominate candidates for election as directors, see “Stockholder Proposals” below.

The committee identifies nominees by first evaluating incumbent directors, with skills and experience that are relevant to our business and who are willing to continue in service. Such a practice balances the value of continuity of service with that of obtaining a new perspective. If an incumbent director up for re-election at an upcoming annual meeting of stockholders does not wish to continue in service, the committee identifies the skills and experience desired of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. Current members of the committee and Board will be polled for suggested candidates. Research may also be performed to identify qualified individuals. If the committee believes that the Board requires additional candidates for nomination, it may explore alternative sources for identifying additional candidates, including, if appropriate, a third-party search firm.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is comprised of Messrs. Grounds, Ratner and Stein, each of whom is independent under applicable NASDAQ listing standards. Mr. Stein serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

Board Leadership Structure

Kai-Shing Tao, our Chairman of the Board and CEO, leads the Board. Our governing documents provide the Board with flexibility to determine the appropriate leadership structure for the Board and for Remark, including but



Table of Contents	13

not limited to whether it is appropriate to separate the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. In making these determinations, the Board considers numerous factors, including our specific needs and our strategic direction and the size and membership of the Board at the time. The Board has determined that the combined roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer is presently in the best interest of Remark and its stockholders given our transformational and growth needs. At present, the Board believes that its current structure effectively maintains independent oversight of management and that having a lead independent director is unnecessary. The Board has the ability to quickly adjust its leadership structure should business or managerial conditions change.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Senior management is responsible for assessing and managing our various exposures to risk on a day-to-day basis, including the creation of appropriate risk management programs and policies. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the execution of its responsibilities and for assessing our approach to risk management. The Board exercises these responsibilities periodically as part of its meetings and also through the Board’s three committees, each of which examines various components of enterprise risk as part of its responsibilities. Members of each committee report to the full Board at the next Board meeting regarding risks discussed by such committee. In addition, an overall review of risk is inherent in the Board’s consideration of our long-term strategies and in the transactions and other matters presented to the Board, including capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures, and financial matters.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors. A copy of the Code of Ethics is publicly available on our website at http://ir.remarkholdings.com . Amendments to the Code of Ethics or any grant of a waiver from a provision of the Code of Ethics requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules will also be disclosed on our website.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 with both management and Cherry Bekaert, Remark’s independent registered public accounting firm. In its discussion, management has represented to the Audit Committee that Remark’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Audit Committee meets with Remark’s independent registered public accounting firm, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of Remark’s internal controls and the overall quality of Remark’s financial reporting. The Audit Committee has discussed with Cherry Bekaert the matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 1301, “Communications with Audit Committees,” issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Cherry Bekaert reported to the Audit Committee regarding the critical accounting estimates and practices and the estimates and assumptions used by management in the preparation of the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 and for the fiscal year then ended, all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management, the ramifications of use of such alternative treatments and the treatment preferred by Cherry Bekaert.

Cherry Bekaert provided a report to the Audit Committee describing Cherry Bekaert’s internal quality-control procedures and related matters. Cherry Bekaert also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Cherry Bekaert’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with Cherry Bekaert its independence. When considering Cherry Bekaert’s independence, the Audit Committee considered, among other matters, whether Cherry Bekaert’s provision of non-audit services to Remark is compatible with maintaining the independence of Cherry Bekaert. All audit and permissible non-audit services in 2017 and 2016 were pre-approved pursuant to these procedures.

Based on the Audit Committee’s review of the audited financial statements and the various discussions noted above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in Remark’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 .
