Proxy Summary

This proxy statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) of Miller Industries, Inc.

PROXY STATEMENTProxy Summary
(1)The election of a nominee to the Board of Directors requires a plurality of the votes cast by holders of shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Therefore, for Proposal 1, to elect nine directors to our Board, the nine director nominees receiving the greatest number of votes at the Annual Meeting shall be elected, even though such nominees may not receive a majority of the votes cast.
(2)Proposal 2, to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, will be approved if the number of votes cast “for” such proposal exceeds those cast “against” it. Proposal 2 is advisory and therefore is not binding on us, our Board or our Compensation Committee.
(3)Proposal 3, to ratify the appointment of Elliott Davis, LLC as our independent registered public accounting firm for our current fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, will be approved if the number of votes cast “for” such proposal exceeds those cast “against” it. Proposal 3 is advisory and therefore is not binding on us, our Board or our Audit Committee.

Broker non-votes are not considered “votes cast” and, therefore, will not have an effect on the results of the vote with respect to any proposal in this proxy statement. A broker non-vote occurs when a proxy received from a broker or other nominee holding shares on behalf of a client does not contain voting instructions on a non-routine matter because the broker or nominee has not received specific voting instructions from the client with respect to such non-routine matter. Proposal 1 and Proposal 2 are non-routine matters and accordingly, the brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on those proposals without your instructions.

If you hold shares of Common Stock in your own name as holder of record as of the close of business on May 6, 2024, then you may give a proxy to be voted at the Annual Meeting in any of the following ways: (i) over the telephone by calling a toll-free number; (ii) electronically, using the Internet; or (iii) by completing, signing and dating the enclosed printed proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid return envelope provided. If you are a shareholder of record and would like to submit your proxy vote by telephone or Internet, you should refer to the specific instructions provided on the enclosed proxy card. If you are a shareholder of record and wish to submit your proxy by mail, you should complete, sign, date and return the proxy card in accordance with the instructions thereon prior to the Annual Meeting. Additionally, a holder of record may vote in person by attending the Annual Meeting and completing a ballot at the Annual Meeting. Even if you currently plan to attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you also submit your proxy as described above so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

If you hold shares of Common Stock through a broker or other nominee (i.e., in “street name”), the broker or nominee should provide instructions on how you may instruct the broker or other nominee to vote those shares on your behalf.

A shareholder of record who votes over the Internet or by telephone may revoke the proxy by: (i) attending the Annual Meeting, notifying the Secretary of the Company (or his delegate), and voting in person; or (ii) voting again over the Internet or by telephone by no later than 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on June 20, 2024. A shareholder of record who signs and returns a proxy card may revoke such shareholder’s proxy at any time before it has been exercised by: (i) attending the Annual Meeting, notifying the Secretary of the Company (or his delegate), and voting in person; (ii) filing with the Secretary of the Company a written revocation; or (iii) executing and delivering a timely and valid proxy card bearing a later date. Unless revoked, where a choice is specified on the proxy, the shares represented thereby will be voted in accordance with such choice. If no choice is specified, such shares will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations on the proposals in this proxy statement, as set forth above, and in the discretion of the proxy holders on any other matter that may properly come before the meeting. If you hold shares of Common Stock in street name, you must follow the instructions given by your broker or nominee to change your voting instructions.

The Board of Directors has designated William G. Miller, William G. Miller II and Frank Madonia, and each or any of them, to vote on its behalf the proxies being solicited hereby. The Board of Directors knows of no matters which are to be brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting other than those set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly does come before the Annual Meeting, the persons appointed in the proxy, or their substitutes, will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.
