HACKETT GROUP, INC.

The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that the Board shall consist of no fewer than five directors and no more than fifteen directors. The Company’s bylaws provide that the number of directors, within such limits, shall be determined by resolution of the Board. The Board currently is composed of seven directors. The Board is divided into three classes. One class is elected each year for a term of three years.

Three directors will be elected at the annual meeting. The Board has nominated Ted A. Fernandez, Robert A. Rivero and Alan T.G. Wix, each are existing directors, for the positions. If elected, Messrs. Fernandez, Rivero and Wix will serve a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting in 2028. You can find more information about Messrs. Fernandez, Rivero and Wix below.

Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy, it is the intention of the proxy holders to vote the shares represented by each properly executed proxy for the election of the nominees. The Board believes that the nominees will stand for election and will serve if elected. However, if any nominee fails to stand for election or is unable to accept election, proxies will be voted by the proxy holders for the election of such other person as the Board may recommend.

Since this election is not contested, the Board’s nominees for director will be elected only if the votes cast for each such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast against such nominee’s election. If Messrs. Fernandez, Rivero and Wix are not re-elected, the Company bylaws provide that they must tender their resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then consider such resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the resignation. The Board will decide whether to accept or reject any such tendered resignation within 90 days after certification of the election results and will publicly disclose its decision and the rationale therefor. If the resignation is not accepted, the director will continue to serve until his successor is elected and qualified, until there is a decrease in the number of directors or until the director’s earlier resignation or removal. The majority voting provisions for the election of directors apply only to uncontested elections in which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected. In the event of an election in which the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, nominees will be elected by a plurality vote.
