PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To Be Held August 5, 2015

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of Encision Inc., a Colorado corporation, for use at our Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held at 9:00 A.M. Mountain Time, on August 5, 2015, at the offices of Encision Inc., 6797 Winchester Circle, Boulder, CO 80301 and at any and all adjournments of such meeting (the “Annual Meeting”).

If the enclosed Proxy Card is properly executed and returned in time to be voted at the meeting, the shares of common stock represented will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Executed Proxy Cards that contain no instructions will be voted for each of the nominees for director indicated herein and in favor of each of the other two proposals which will be considered at the meeting. It is anticipated that this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card and Notice of Annual Meeting will be mailed to our shareholders on or about July 3, 2015.

Shareholders who execute proxies for the Annual Meeting may revoke their proxies at any time prior to their exercise by delivering written notice of revocation to our secretary, by delivering a duly executed Proxy Card bearing a later date, or by attending the meeting and voting in person.

We will bear the costs of the meeting, including the costs of preparing and mailing the Proxy Statement, Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Card. We may, in addition, use the services of our directors, officers and employees to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, but at no additional salary or compensation. We will also request banks, brokers, and others who hold shares of our common stock in nominee names to distribute annual reports and proxy soliciting materials to beneficial owners, and we will reimburse such banks and brokers for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses which they may incur in so doing.

OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK

The record date for shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting was June 12, 2015. At the close of business on that day, there were 10,673,225 shares of our common stock, no par value, outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

QUORUM AND VOTING

The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock that are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting is necessary in order to constitute a quorum for the meeting. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of attaining a quorum.

If your shares are held in street name and you do not instruct your broker on how to vote your shares, your brokerage firm, in its discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters only. The proposal to ratify the appointment of Eide Bailly LLP is considered a routine matter. The other proposal which will be considered at the meeting is considered a non-routine matter. Consequently, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on that other proposal. Such unvoted shares are called “broker non-votes.”

If a quorum is present, (i) the election of directors will require a plurality of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting, and (ii) the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote will be required (x) to ratify the appointment of our independent public accountants, or (y) to approve any other matter to be voted on by the shareholders at the meeting.

Proxies marked “withhold” and broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

Abstentions shall have the same effect as a vote against Proposal 2 (ratification of auditors). Broker non-votes shall have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN AT THE MEETING

The accompanying proxy, unless the shareholder otherwise specifies in the proxy, will be voted (1) FOR the election of each of the six nominees named herein for the office of director, (2) FOR ratification of the appointment of Eide Bailly LLP as our independent public accountants, and (3) at the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

If shareholders have appropriately specified how their proxies are to be voted, they will be voted accordingly. If any other matter of business is brought before the meeting, the proxy holders may vote the proxies at their discretion. The directors do not know of any such other matter of business.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Shareholder proposals intended for inclusion in our Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, including shareholder recommendation for nominees for election to our board of directors, must be received by us at our offices in Boulder, Colorado, not later than March 7, 2016.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(Proposal Item #1)

Our board of directors has nominated the six persons listed below for election as directors for the 2016 fiscal year, each to hold office until the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. A shareholder using the enclosed Proxy Card can vote for all or any of the nominees of the board of directors or such shareholder may withhold his or her vote from all or any of such nominees. If the Proxy Card is properly executed but not marked, it will be voted for all of the nominees. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a director if elected; however, should any nominee become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the persons named in the proxy will exercise their voting power in favor of such other person or persons as our board of directors may recommend. There are no family relationships among these nominees.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH NOMINEE FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

The following table sets forth the members of our board of directors, their ages as of March 31, 2015, and their positions and offices held:

Vern D. Kornelsen is one of our co-founders and served on our board of directors and as our Chief Financial Officer from 1991 through February 1997. He was re-elected to the board of directors in April 1998. Mr. Kornelsen is the General Partner of CMED Partners LLLP, one our principal shareholders. Mr. Kornelsen formerly practiced as a certified public accountant in the state of Colorado for many years. He has been active in managing two investment partnerships, the first since 1990 and the second since 1997, of which he is the general partner, as well as serving as an officer and director of several private companies and of two public companies, Lifeloc Technologies, Inc., of which he is the controlling stockholder, and Electronic Systems Technology, Inc. Mr. Kornelsen received a Bachelor of Science degree in business from the University of Kansas. We believe Mr. Kornelsen is qualified to serve on our board of directors based on his executive experience with several private companies and his financial and accounting expertise as described above.

Robert H. Fries has served on our board of directors since 2003. Mr. Fries is a founder and the President of FinanceVision Services, Inc., a finance and tax consulting firm, and has served as a finance executive with a broad range of large public multinational companies. Since 2000, he has provided us with financial and tax consulting services. Mr. Fries is a certified public accountant (inactive). His credentials include an MBA from St. John's University, New York, and a Juris Doctor Degree from Jones School of Law. We believe that Mr. Fries’ financial and business expertise, particularly in the role of finance executive for various large public companies, give him the qualifications and skills to serve as a director.

Ruediger Naumann-Etienne has served on our board of directors since October 2008. Mr. Naumann-Etienne has been the General Partner of Intertec Healthcare Partners, a fund investing in medical companies, since 2006. Since 1989, he has also been the owner and Managing Director of Intertec Group, an investment company specializing in the medical technology field. Intertec Group has successfully implemented growth strategies for OEC Medical Systems, Laserscope, Quinton Instruments and Cardiac Science. From 2006 through 2010, he was Chairman of Cardiac Science having previously served as the Chairman of a predecessor company, Quinton Instruments, from 2000 to 2005. He was also CEO of Quinton Instruments from 2000 to 2003. From 1993 until 1996, he was Chairman of OEC Medical Systems and CEO of the same company from 1995 to 1997. Mr. Naumann-Etienne is also a director of Varian Medical Systems and IRIDEX Corporation. Mr. Naumann-Etienne’s extensive experience serving as a director and executive for various companies in the medical technology field is valuable to our board of director’s oversight of the growth and financing of our business.

Patrick W. Pace, M.D. was appointed to our board of directors in April 2012. Dr. Pace is the owner of PICO LLC, a healthcare consulting firm. He also serves as Executive Chairman of Nanospectra Biosciences, a medical device company that focuses on the use of nanoparticles in the treatment of a variety of diseases, as an Advisor to EDG Partners, a healthcare private equity investment firm, and as a board member of MMIS, a global technology company that provides compliance and business intelligence solutions for the life science industry. Dr. Pace began his career as a resident in Otolaryngology (ENT) at the University of Virginia Hospital. After leaving a career in medicine for the investment world, he spent several years in equities at Credit Suisse and UBS, culminating in a role as a Senior Research Analyst covering medical devices. He then led healthcare high yield and distressed debt investing as part of AIG Investments. After AIG, he served as Managing Director at Citadel Investment Group and helped launch its effort in investment banking. Dr. Pace received a Bachelor of Arts, with Honors in Psychology, from Vanderbilt University and a Doctor of Medicine from The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. We believe that Dr. Pace’s healthcare and investment experience give him the qualifications and skills to serve as a director.

Gregory J. Trudel has served as our President & Chief Executive Officer and a director since December 23, 2013. Mr. Trudel has over 25 years of experience in the surgical devices marketplace. Since 2008, and until becoming President & Chief Executive Officer of Encision Inc., Mr. Trudel has been employed by Covidien, a large global healthcare products company. Most recently, Mr. Trudel served as Global Director of Marketing for a division within the Surgical Solutions Group at Covidien. His time at Covidien also includes extensive marketing and product management experience in Covidien’s Advanced Energy and Surgical Stapling. Prior to joining Covidien, Mr. Trudel held leadership roles with ConMed Electrosurgery, SilverGlide Surgical Technologies, and Stryker. He holds a B.S. from the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT and an M.B.A from the University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT. We believe that Mr. Trudel’s executive experience with public companies and his experience in healthcare give him the qualifications and skills to serve as a director.

David W. Newton, is one of our co-founders and has been a Vice President and one of our directors since our inception in 1991. From 1989 until 1991, Mr. Newton was President of Newton Associates, Inc., a contract engineering firm.

Mr. Newton has an additional 16 years of experience as an electrical engineer designing electrosurgical generators and related accessories. Mr. Newton holds 26 patents in the field of medical electronic equipment and holds a Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Colorado. We believe that Mr. Newton’s engineering experience with various firms gives him the qualifications and skills to serve as a director.

Director Meetings

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, our board of directors met in person four times and had two telephonic meetings. There were four meetings of the audit committee, two meetings of the compensation committee and one meeting of the nominating committee. The audit committee held four telephonic meetings with our independent auditors. Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the board and the board committees on which he served during fiscal year 2015.

We encourage our incumbent directors to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, subject to their travel schedule and other demands on their time. All of our directors attended the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Our board of directors determines whether a director is independent through a broad consideration of facts and circumstances, including an assessment of the materiality of any relation between us and a director not merely from the director’s standpoint, but also from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. In making this determination, the board of directors adheres to the independence criteria under applicable New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) rules. Using these rules, our board of directors has determined that Robert H. Fries, Vern D. Kornelsen, Patrick W. Pace, M.D. and Ruediger Naumann-Etienne qualify as independent directors.

Compensation of Directors

Our independent directors currently receive $2,500 a quarter for their services and are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their service as directors. Also, Patrick W. Pace, M.D., receives an additional $3,750 a quarter for his service as Chairman. Option grants to our directors are at the discretion of the board of directors.

The following table details the total compensation earned by our non-employee directors in fiscal year 2015.

Nominating Committee

The members of our nominating committee are Robert H. Fries, Vern D. Kornelsen and Patrick W. Pace, M.D. Our nominating committee recommends to our board of directors nominees for election to the board. Our nominating committee will consider recommendations for director nominees by shareholders if the names of those nominees and relevant biographical information are properly submitted in writing to our corporate secretary in the manner described for shareholder nominations above under the heading “Shareholder Proposals.” A director nominee must have a strong professional or other background, a reputation for integrity and responsibility and experience relevant to our business and operations. A director nominee must be able to commit appropriate time to prepare for, attend and participate in all meetings of our board of directors and its committees, as applicable, and the annual meeting of shareholders and must not have any conflicts of interest with our business and operations. Our nominating committee will also require some director nominees to be independent as defined under the NYSE listing standards. All director nominees, whether submitted by a shareholder or our nominating committee, will be evaluated in the same manner. All current members of the nominating committee are independent for purposes of the NYSE listing standards.

The nominating committee does not have an express policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders because the nominating committee believes that it can adequately evaluate any such nominees on a case-by-case basis. The nominating committee will consider director candidates proposed by shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth above under "Shareholder Proposals," and will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates for director under the same criteria as internally generated candidates. We do not have a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees, but the nominating committee strives to nominate directors with a variety of complementary skills so that, as a group, the board will possess the appropriate talent, skills and expertise to oversee our business. Although the nominating committee does not currently have formal minimum criteria for nominees, substantial relevant business and industry experience would generally be considered important qualifying criteria, as would the ability to attend and prepare for board, committee and shareholder meetings. Any candidate must state in advance his or her willingness and interest in serving on our board and its committees.

Our board of directors has adopted a written Nominating Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on our website at www.encision.com. Our nominating committee held one meeting during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

Compensation Committee

The members of the compensation committee are Vern D. Kornelsen, Robert H. Fries and Ruediger Naumann-Etienne. Our compensation committee reviews and approves compensation for our executive officers whose compensation is approved by our board of directors upon recommendation of the compensation committee. Our compensation committee also administers our stock option plans. Our board of directors has adopted a written Compensation Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on our website at www.encision.com. Our compensation committee held two meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

The compensation committee reviewed and considered our compensation policies and programs in light of the board of directors’ risk assessment and management responsibilities and will do so in the future on an annual basis. The compensation committee believes that we have no compensation policies and programs that give rise to risks reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Audit Committee

Our board of directors maintains an audit committee comprised of our outside directors. The board of directors and the audit committee believe that the audit committee’s current members are “independent directors” as defined by the applicable rules of the NYSE and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as currently in effect and applicable to us. The audit committee oversees our independent auditors and financial process on behalf of the board of directors. The audit committee has adopted a written charter. The audit committee has adopted a complaint procedure policy.

Vern D. Kornelsen and Ruediger Naumann-Etienne comprise the audit committee. Their backgrounds are more fully disclosed in their biographies under “Election of Directors.”

Our board of directors has determined that Vern D. Kornelsen and Ruediger Naumann-Etienne each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” and each is “independent” as defined by the applicable regulations of the SEC as currently in effect and applicable to us.

The audit committee has adopted a written charter, a copy of which is available on the investor relations page of our website at www.encision.com. Our audit committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 and held four telephonic meetings with our independent auditors during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors does not have a policy regarding separation of the roles of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, as the board of directors believes it is in the best interest of the Company to make that determination based on the position and direction of the Company and the membership of the board. Presently, we have a Chairman of the Board. The board believes that the separate offices of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer currently functions well and is the optimal leadership structure for the Company. This structure allows the Chief Executive Officer to focus to a greater extent on the management of our day-to-day operations.

Four of the six members of our board of directors satisfy the requirements of independence under the NYSE listing standards, and our audit, compensation, and nominating committees are composed entirely of independent directors. This structure encourages independent and effective oversight of our operations and prudent management of risk.

Risk Oversight

The board of directors, principally through delegation to the audit committee oversees risks facing us. The audit committee regularly discusses with management, our internal auditors and our independent auditors our major risk exposures, whether financial, operating or otherwise, and the adequacy and effectiveness of our control of such risks. The audit committee also recommends from time to time that key identified risk areas be considered by the full board, and individual board members also periodically ask the full board to consider an area of risk. In addition, risk management issues are considered inherently by the board with respect to all major decisions made by the board.

Our board of directors believes that the decision as to who should serve as Chairman of the Board and/or Chief Executive Officer and whether the offices should be combined or separated is the proper responsibility of the board. Presently, we have an Executive Chairman of the Board. The board members have considerable experience and knowledge about the challenges and opportunities the company faces. The board, therefore, is in the best position to evaluate the company’s current and future needs and to judge how the capabilities of the company’s directors and senior management from time to time can be most effectively organized to meet those needs. While the board may combine these offices in the future if it considers such a combination to be in the best interest of the company, it currently intends to retain this structure.

Shareholder Communications with Directors

Shareholders and other interested parties wishing to contact any member (or all members) of our board of directors or any committee of the board may do so by mail, addressed, either by name or title, to the board of directors or to any such individual director or group or committee of the directors, and all such correspondence should be sent to our principal office. Our administrative staff may review any such communications to ensure that inappropriate material is not forwarded to the board of directors or to any individual director. The board of directors intends to continuously evaluate its communication process with our shareholders and may adopt additional procedures to facilitate shareholder communications with the board of directors, consistent with standards of professionalism and our administrative resources.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and all other directors and executive officers. The Code of Ethics is available on the investor relations page of our website at www.encision.com. We intend to satisfy the requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding disclosure of amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of our Code of Ethics that apply to our principal executive, financial and accounting officers and directors by posting such information on our website.

Employment Agreements

We entered into an employment agreement with Gregory J. Trudel on December 17, 2013. The employment agreement has an initial three-year term beginning with the start date of December 23, 2013. Thereafter, the term automatically renews for additional one-year periods unless either party gives prior written notice that it does not wish to automatically renew the term. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Trudel will receive an annual base salary of $210,000. Mr. Trudel will be entitled to receive a special cash bonus in the event that we are acquired during the next five years at a price for our common stock of $7.50 per share or more. In the event of such an acquisition, Mr. Trudel shall be entitled to a bonus amount equal to (i) such per share price, (ii) minus our per share price on the Start Date, (iii) multiplied by 40,000. Under the employment agreement, if we terminate Mr. Trudel without cause or Mr. Trudel resigns for “good reason”, Mr. Trudel will be entitled to receive a severance amount (up to one times his Base Salary) based upon the length of time Mr. Trudel was employed by us prior to the termination. Such severance will be paid out ratably over the twelve months following the termination. No severance will be paid if the term of the Employment Agreement expires or is not renewed. Mr. Trudel was granted stock options to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock. The options vest over the five year period following the start date. The options have a per share exercise price of $0.82, which was equal to our trading price on the start date. The vesting of the options will accelerate in the event of certain acquisition transactions involving us.

Equity Incentive Awards

On August 13, 2014, our shareholders approved the adoption of the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) providing for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, and other stock-based awards to our employees and directors. The 2014 Plan permits the granting of incentive stock options meeting the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and also nonqualified stock options which do not meet the requirements of Section 422. As approved by the shareholders, we reserved 700,000 shares of our common stock for issuance upon exercise of equity incentive awards granted under the 2014 Plan. As of March 31, 2015, equity incentive awards to purchase an aggregate of 354,924 shares of our common stock (net of equity incentive awards canceled) had been granted pursuant to our 2007 Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Plan, no equity incentive awards had been exercised, leaving 600,076 still available for grant. In addition to options outstanding under the 2007 Stock Option Plan and 2014 Plan, there are 245,000 options outstanding outside of the 2007 Plan.

The compensation committee of the board of directors administers the 2007 Stock Option Plan and the 2014 Plan.

Audit Committee Report

The audit committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The audit committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under generally accepted auditing standards, including Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61. In addition, the audit committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and us including the matters in the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor’s communication with the audit committee concerning independence.

The audit committee discussed with our independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The audit committee meets with the independent auditors to discuss the results of their examination, their evaluation of our internal controls, and the overall quality of our financial reporting. In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors, and the board of directors has approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
