THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS

Director Independence

The Board of Directors has determined that Haig S. Bagerdjian, Louise C. Forlenza, Stewart R. Massey, Anthea C. Stratigos and Andargachew S. Zelleke are independent directors. The independent directors comprise a majority of the Board. The only director who is not independent is Jack S. Abuhoff, the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The Company defines independence as meeting the requirements to be considered as an independent director as set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). To assist in determining director independence, the Board of Directors also considers any business relationship with any independent director, including any business entity with which any independent director is affiliated, to determine if there is any material relationship that would impair a director’s independence. In making its determination, the Board of Directors reviewed information provided by each of the directors and information gathered by the Company.

Board Leadership Structure

Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Positions

The Board of Directors believes that having a combined Chairman of the Board/Chief Executive Officer, independent directors with strong leadership and management experience, an independent director serving as the Lead Independent Director and Board of Directors committees being comprised solely of independent directors, provides an effective and efficient leadership structure that is appropriate for the Company at the present time. The Chairman/CEO has primary responsibility for managing the business. Combining the leadership role avoids duplication of efforts while strengthening the Chairman/CEO’s ability to provide insight and direction on important strategic initiatives to both management and the independent directors.

Lead Independent Director

Stewart R. Massey currently serves as the Company’s Lead Independent Director. The principal responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director are to:

Schedule and preside over executive sessions of the independent directors;

Preside over Board of Directors meetings in the absence of the Chairman;

Provide input to the Chairman in the preparation of agendas for Board of Directors meetings; and

Enhance the effective functioning of the independent directors by facilitating communications and collaboration between and among them.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board of Directors believes that the goal of risk oversight is to identify and assess risks which may affect the Company’s ability to fulfill its business objectives and to formulate plans to mitigate potential effects. The Board of Directors administers its oversight function directly, through both its Audit and Compensation Committees, and through executive management of the Company, as follows:

Through Board of Directors discussion on general business strategy and risks that could drive tactical and strategic decisions in the near and long term;

Through the Audit Committee with respect to financial risks and risks that may affect the financial situation of the Company;

Through the Compensation Committee with respect to risks associated with executive compensation plans and arrangements;

Through executive management of the Company with respect to risks which may arise in the ordinary course of business, such as operational, managerial, business, legal, regulatory and reputational risks; and

Through the CEO, in the CEO’s combined role as Chairman, via updates to the Board of Directors during Board of Directors meetings with respect to potential material risks identified by executive management, as is deemed appropriate based on the circumstances.

The Board of Directors believes the various roles of the board committees and executive management in risk oversight described above complement the Board of Directors’ leadership structure described above, including the combination of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer positions.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors meets throughout the year on a set schedule. The Board of Directors also holds special meetings and acts by unanimous written consent from time to time as appropriate. The Board of Directors held six meetings during the year ended December 31, 2014. Each director, except for Mr. Bagerdjian, attended at least 75% of all of the meetings of the Board of Directors held during the period they served as Director, and each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of all committees on which he or she served. The Company does not have a policy requiring incumbent directors and director nominees to attend the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. Two directors attended last year’s annual meeting.

The Board of Directors meets in executive sessions without management, as needed, immediately prior or during its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board of Directors also schedules executive sessions during the year for the independent directors only.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

The Company has a separately designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter is available on our website at www.innodata.com. Serving on the Committee are Ms. Forlenza and Messrs. Bagerdjian and Massey. The Board of Directors has determined that it has an audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee: Ms. Forlenza. The functions of the Audit Committee are, among other things, to make recommendations concerning the selection each year of independent auditors of the Company, to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the quality and integrity of the Company's financial reports and financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls, to consider whether the Company's principal accountant’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence, and to determine through discussions with the independent auditors whether any instructions or limitations have been placed upon them in connection with the scope of their audit. To carry out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee met four times during fiscal 2014. The Company defines independence as meeting the standards to be considered as an independent director as set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), and the Board of Directors has determined that all the members of the Audit Committee are "independent" as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(c)(2)(A).

Compensation Committee

The Company has a standing Compensation Committee comprised of Mr. Massey, Ms. Forlenza and Dr. Zelleke. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors. A copy of the charter is available on our website at www.innodata.com. The function of the Compensation Committee is to discharge the responsibilities of the Board of Directors regarding executive and director compensation, including determining and approving the compensation packages of the Company’s executive officers, including its Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves stock option grants to non-executive officer employees. The Chief Executive Officer recommends to the Compensation Committee proposed compensation for the executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee engages the services of an independent compensation consultant on an as-needed basis to provide market data and advice regarding executive compensation and proposed compensation programs and amounts. To carry out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee met four times during fiscal 2014. The Company defines independence as meeting the standards to be considered as an independent director as set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), and the Board of Directors has determined that all the members of the Compensation Committee are "independent" as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2).

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. The Compensation Committee is comprised of Mr. Massey, Ms. Forlenza and Dr. Zelleke, none of whom are or were officers or employees of the Company.

Nominating Committee

The Company has a standing Nominating Committee comprised of Dr. Zelleke, Mr. Bagerdjian and Ms. Forlenza. The Company does not have a Nominating Committee charter. The primary responsibilities of the Nominating Committee include assisting the Board of Directors in identifying and evaluating qualified candidates to serve as directors; recommending to the Board of Directors candidates for election or re-election to the Board of Directors or to fill vacancies on the Board of Directors; and assisting in attracting qualified candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. Director nominees are selected by Board of Director resolution. All of the nominees recommended for election to the Board of Directors at the Meeting are directors standing for re-election. Although the Nominating Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to the consideration of diversity, when considering director candidates the Nominating Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and qualities that, when combined with those of the Company’s existing directors, provide a blend of skills and experience that will further enhance the Board of Directors’ effectiveness at the time the consideration is made. When considering potential director candidates, the Nominating Committee considers the candidate's character, judgment, diversity, skills, including financial literacy, and experience in the context of the needs of the Company and the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee has not established any minimum qualifications for director candidates. To carry out its responsibilities, the Nominating Committee met one time during fiscal 2014. The Company defines independence as meeting the standards to be considered as an independent director as set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2), and the Board of Directors has determined that all the members of the Nominating Committee are "independent" as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In 2014 the Company did not pay any fees to any third party to assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.

The Company's by-laws include a procedure whereby its stockholders can nominate director candidates, as more fully described below under “Stockholder Proposals for the 2016 Annual Meeting.” The Board of Directors will consider director candidates recommended by the Company's stockholders in a similar manner as those recommended by members of management or other directors, provided the stockholder submitting such nomination has complied with the procedures set forth in the Company’s by-laws. To date, the Company has not received any recommended nominees from any non-management stockholder or group of stockholders who beneficially owns five percent or more of its voting stock.

Stockholder Communications with the Board of Directors

Generally, stockholders who have questions or concerns regarding the Company should contact our Investor Relations department at 201-371-8000. However, stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by sending a letter to: Board of Directors of Innodata Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 3 University Plaza Drive, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601. Any communications must contain a clear notation indicating that it is a "Stockholder—Board Communication" or a "Stockholder—Director Communication" and must identify the author as a stockholder. The office of the Corporate Secretary will receive the correspondence and forward appropriate correspondence to the Chairman of the Board or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is directed. The Company reserves the right not to forward to the Board of Directors any communication that is hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to the Company or its business, or is otherwise inappropriate. The office of the Corporate Secretary has authority to discard or disregard any inappropriate communication or to take any other action that it deems to be appropriate with respect to any inappropriate communications.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

The responsibilities of the Audit Committee, which are set forth in the Audit Committee Charter, include providing oversight to the Company’s financial reporting process through periodic meetings with the Company’s independent auditors and management to review accounting, auditing, internal controls and financial reporting matters. The Audit Committee is also responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the Company’s independent auditors. The management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the financial reporting information and related systems of internal controls. The Audit Committee, in carrying out its role, relies on the Company’s senior management, including senior financial management, and its independent auditors.

The Audit Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Audit Committee's charter. To carry out its responsibilities, the Audit Committee met four times during fiscal 2014.

The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the quality and integrity of the Company's financial reports and financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls. Management of the Company has primary responsibility for the Company's financial statements and the overall reporting process, including maintenance of the Company's system of internal controls. The Company retains independent auditors who are responsible for conducting independent audits of the Company's financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and issuing reports thereon.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 with management and the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including those matters set forth in Statement on Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees). The independent auditors have provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent auditor’s communication with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with the auditors their independence from the Company. The Audit Committee has concluded that the independent auditors are independent from the Company and its management.

On the basis of the foregoing reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee has also recommended, subject to stockholder approval, the selection of the Company's independent auditors.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

This compensation discussion and analysis describes and analyzes the material elements of compensation awarded, earned by, or paid to each of our executive officers who served as named executive officers during the last completed fiscal year. This compensation discussion and analysis focuses on the information contained in the following tables and related footnotes and narrative for primarily the last completed fiscal year. However, we also describe compensation actions taken before or after the last completed fiscal year to the extent it enhances the understanding of our executive compensation disclosure for such completed fiscal year.

Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing and administering our executive compensation program and for establishing our executive compensation philosophy. The objectives of our compensation program are to:

Attract, motivate and retain qualified, talented and dedicated executives

Motivate executives to achieve business and financial objectives that will enhance stockholder value

Align the interests of our executives with the long term interests of stockholders through stock-based incentives

Maintain a strong link between pay and performance by placing a significant portion of the executive’s total pay at risk

The Committee applies these objectives in selecting the specific elements of compensation. The Committee also reviews and considers:

Company performance, both separately and in relation to similar companies

The individual executive’s performance, experience and scope of responsibilities

Historical compensation levels and stock option awards at the Company

Internal equity among executive officers

The recommendations of management

Executive Officer Compensation Processes

The Committee uses the following processes, procedures and resources to help it perform its responsibilities:

Executive sessions without management present to discuss various compensation matters, including the compensation of our CEO

A periodic review of executive compensation and benefit programs for reasonableness and cost effectiveness

The recommendations of the CEO on compensation for the other executive officers

On an as-needed basis, the services of an independent compensation consultant

Competitive Benchmarking / Peer Group Analysis

The Company has no policy regarding the retention of independent consultants to conduct competitive benchmarking and/or a peer group analysis. The Company has, from time to time, engaged such consultants to assist in the review and determination of various executive compensation matters. No independent consultants were engaged by the Company or the Committee in calendar year 2014 with regard to executive compensation matters.

Components of the Executive Compensation Program

The primary elements of the Company’s Executive Compensation Program are:

Base salary

Performance-based cash incentives

Stock-based incentives

Benefits and perquisites

Severance and change-of-control compensation

The Committee does not use a pre-set formula to allocate a percentage of total compensation to each compensation component, and the percentage of total compensation allocated to each compensation component varies among the executive officers. Instead, the Committee relies on the processes and factors described in this discussion and analysis and takes into account the current and historical compensation components, and amount of each component, for each executive officer.

Base Salary

The base salaries of our executive officers are designed to attract and retain a high performing and dedicated leadership team. The Committee reviews the performance evaluations and salary recommendations provided to the Committee by the CEO for each executive officer other than himself. Increases to the CEO’s base salary are determined by the Committee without a recommendation by Company management. Adjustments to base salary are determined based on the individual’s responsibility level, performance, contribution and length of service, after considering the Company’s financial performance, as well as any requirements set forth in the executive officer’s employment agreement. No executive officer received a base salary increase in calendar year 2014.

Performance-Based Cash Incentives

Performance-based cash incentives provide the Company with a means of rewarding performance based upon the attainment of corporate financial goals, individual goals, and individual accomplishments and contributions to the Company. The Committee reviews Company financial performance, individual performance, accomplishments and contributions, as well as recommendations provided to the Committee by the CEO for each executive officer other than the CEO. Cash incentives may be paid pursuant to an incentive compensation plan or as cash bonuses. In 2014, incentive compensation awards for the executive officers were made pursuant to an incentive compensation plan.

The incentive compensation plan awards in 2014 were based on the extent to which the Company and each executive officer, as applicable, achieved performance measures set by the Committee for 2014. The performance measures for each of the executive officers for 2014 were Company revenues, Company gross margin, earnings before interest and taxes on content services (“EBIT”), and personal contributions to the Company’s strategic objectives (“Personal Contributions”). The target incentive compensation amount, expressed as a percentage of base salary, for each executive officer on a per performance measure basis were:

Name	Revenues (%)		Gross Margin (%)		EBIT (%)		Personal Contributions (%)		Total Incentive Compensation Target, expressed as a percentage of base salary (sum of the preceding columns) (%)
Jack S. Abuhoff		15		9		6		30		60
Ashok Mishra		12.5		7.5		5		25		50
O’Neil Nalavadi		10		6		4		20		40

The 2014 base salaries of the executive officers were $500,000 for Mr. Abuhoff, and $280,000 for each of Messrs. Mishra and Nalavadi.

Based on actual performance, the incentive compensation amount for each executive officer could increase up to a maximum of 2.85 times the Total Incentive Compensation Target set forth in the table above, or could decrease or be eliminated. The target awards set under the incentive compensation plan for 2014 together with the thresholds and maximums are set forth in the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table.

Based on the extent of the Company’s achievement of the first three performance measures, which were Company financial objectives, and the executive officer’s individual achievement of the fourth performance measure, which was based on the executive’s Personal Contributions, in April 2015 the Committee awarded a performance-based cash incentive to each executive officer as follows: $107,403 to Mr. Abuhoff; $50,122 to Mr. Mishra; and $40,097 to Mr. Nalavadi.

Each executive officer voluntarily declined to accept payment of the performance-based cash incentive awarded to him by the Committee. The Committee was informed that this decision was made to demonstrate the executive officers’ solidarity and alignment with the company’s stockholders given the Company’s 2014 shareholder return, and the Committee supported this decision. The Committee will consider ways to further align incentive compensation plans and stockholder interests.

Stock-Based Incentives

The Company uses stock option grants as the primary vehicle for employee stock-based incentives. The Company also uses restricted share grants as a form of stock-based incentives. The Committee believes stock-based incentives align the executive officers’ interests with those of stockholders in building shareholder value, offer executive officers an incentive for the achievement of superior performance over time, and foster the retention of key management personnel. The number of stock options or restricted shares the Committee awards each executive officer is based on his relative position, responsibilities and performance, including anticipated future performance, potential and responsibilities, and performance over the previous fiscal year, to the extent applicable. The Committee also reviews and considers prior stock-based grants to each executive officer, including the extent to which any prior stock option grants remained unexercised upon expiration due to an underwater stock price at the time of expiration. The size of stock-based grants is not directly related to the Company’s performance. The Committee also takes into consideration recommendations asserted in prior years by an independent compensation consulting firm. In 2014 the Committee awarded the following stock option grants to the executive officers: in March 2014 80,000 shares were granted to Mr. Mishra, and in April 2014 255,000 shares were granted to Mr. Abuhoff, and 113,000 shares were granted to each of Messrs. Mishra and Nalavadi. 100% of the stock options vest and become exercisable three years from the date of grant. The three year vesting period maximizes both the retention value and the executive’s incentive to achieve superior performance over time. The stock options have a term of seven years from the date of grant.

Benefits and Perquisites

The Company offers retirement, health, life, and disability benefits, as well as medical and dependent care reimbursement plans to all full-time employees. These plans do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of executive officers. In addition, in calendar year 2014, the Company (i) reimbursed Mr. Abuhoff $14,678 for the cost of life and disability insurance premiums and related taxes pursuant to his employment agreement; (ii) provided Mr. Mishra benefits totaling $52,106 consisting of apartment rental, utilities, car rental and security in connection with the Executive’s foreign assignment, health insurance, and related fringe benefit taxes; and (iii) provided Mr. Nalavadi, in connection with his relocation to New Jersey, benefits totaling $31,108 for an apartment rental, utilities, and travel.

Severance and Change-of-Control

The Company uses severance and change-of-control agreements to attract and retain qualified, talented and dedicated executives and to help it remain competitive in the marketplace.

Results of 2014 Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held in June 2014, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2013 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers by a majority of the votes cast. Although the vote cast represented firm majority support for the named executive officer compensation, the percentage of the votes cast voting in favor of the Company’s executive compensation, approximately 73%, is less than what the Company and the Compensation Committee deem satisfactory. The Compensation Committee values the stockholder feedback provided through the vote as well as the feedback received through conversations with stockholders subsequent to the vote. The Compensation Committee will continue to review the Company’s executive compensation programs and consider ways to further align these programs with stockholder interests.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

On March 25, 2009 the Company and Mr. Jack S. Abuhoff, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, executed an employment Agreement with an effective date of February 1, 2009 (the “Agreement”). The Agreement will continue until terminated by the Company or Mr. Abuhoff.

In the event Mr. Abuhoff is terminated by the Company other than for cause (as defined), death or disability, or Mr. Abuhoff resigns his employment with the Company for good reason (as defined), Mr. Abuhoff is entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to 200% of his (A) base salary and (B) the greater of his most recently declared bonus (as defined) or the average of his three most recently declared bonuses to be paid in substantially equal payments over a period of 24 months; (ii) the continuation of his (and as applicable, his dependents’) medical and dental insurance until the earlier of the end of the maximum applicable COBRA coverage period or for the 24 month period immediately following Mr. Abuhoff’s termination (and if the COBRA period is shorter than the applicable 24 month period, pay to Mr. Abuhoff an amount equal to the monthly cost charged by the Company for COBRA coverage during the period beginning upon the expiration of the maximum COBRA coverage period and the end of the 24 month continuation period); (iii) the continuation of his life and long-term disability insurance for the 24 month period immediately following Mr. Abuhoff’s termination and (iv) the removal of any vesting, transfer, lock-up, performance or other restrictions or requirements on his stock options and other equity-based and non-equity-based awards and incentives. In the event Mr. Abuhoff is terminated by the Company coincident with or following a change-of-control (as defined), Mr. Abuhoff is entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to 300% of his (A) base salary and (B) the greater of his most recently declared bonus (as defined) or the average of his three most recently declared bonuses to be paid in a lump sum payout within 30 days of the date of his termination; (ii) the continuation of his (and as applicable, his dependents’) medical and dental insurance until the earlier of the end of the maximum applicable COBRA coverage period or for the 36 month period immediately following Mr. Abuhoff’s termination (and if the COBRA period is shorter than the applicable 36 month period, pay to Mr. Abuhoff an amount equal to the monthly cost charged by the Company for COBRA coverage during the period beginning upon the expiration of the maximum COBRA coverage period and the end of the 36 month continuation period); and (iii) the continuation of his life and long-term disability insurance for the 36 month period immediately following Mr. Abuhoff’s termination; and (iv) the removal of any vesting, transfer, lock-up, performance or other restrictions or requirements on his stock options and other equity and non-equity-based awards and incentives.

The Company has procedures in place to assist its directors and officers in preparing and filing these reports on a timely basis.

PROPOSAL 3. APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION ON AN ADVISORY BASIS

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd-Frank Act") enables stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory and non-binding basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. Accordingly, you may vote on the following resolution at the 2015 annual meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby approved.”

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills required to formulate and drive the Company’s strategic direction and achieve annual and long-term performance goals necessary to create shareholder value. Consistent with this philosophy, a significant percentage of the total compensation opportunity for each executive officer is based on measurable financial performance of the Company on an annual basis, and on the performance of the Company’s stock on a long-term basis.

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement as well as the compensation tables and related narrative that follows it provides detailed information on the Company’s executive compensation programs and the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

Although this vote is non-binding, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinion of the stockholders and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE COMPANY’S NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

VOTE REQUIRED

Election of Directors. Directors will be elected at the meeting by a plurality of the votes cast (i.e., the six nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected as directors).

Ratification of the Appointment of Independent Auditors. The appointment of CohnReznick LLP as independent auditors requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter.

Approval of the Company’s Executive Compensation on an Advisory Basis. The compensation of the named executive officers will be approved, on an advisory basis, if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against such approval, whereas broker non-votes and shares not represented at the meeting will not be counted for purposes of determining whether such approval has been received.

EXPENSE OF SOLICITATION

The cost of soliciting Proxies, which also includes the preparation, printing and mailing of the Proxy Statement, will be borne by the Company. Solicitation will be made by the Company primarily through the mail, but regular employees of the Company may solicit Proxies personally, by telephone, facsimile or electronic communication. The Company will request brokers and nominees to obtain voting instructions of beneficial owners of the stock registered in their names and will reimburse them for any expenses incurred in connection therewith.

HOUSEHOLDING

We have adopted a procedure approved by the SEC called “householding.” Under this procedure, multiple shareowners who share the same last name and address and do not participate in electronic delivery will receive only one copy of the annual Proxy materials or notice regarding the internet availability of Proxy materials. If the household received a printed set of Proxy materials by mail, each shareowner will receive his or her own Proxy card by mail. We have undertaken householding to reduce our printing costs and postage fees.

If you wish to opt out of householding and continue to receive multiple copies of the Proxy materials or notice regarding the internet availability of Proxy materials at the same address, you may do so at any time prior to thirty days before the mailing of Proxy materials or notice regarding the internet availability of Proxy materials, which typically are mailed in May of each year, by notifying us in writing or by telephone at: Innodata Inc. Investor Relations, 3 University Plaza Drive, Hackensack, New Jersey 07601, (201) 371-8000. You also may request additional copies of the Proxy materials or notice regarding the internet availability of Proxy materials by notifying us in writing or by telephone at the same address or telephone number.
