NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON August 13, 2018

To the Shareholders of Majesco:

The 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”) of Majesco, a California corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), will be held on Monday, August 13, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) at the principal executive offices of the Company located at 412 Mt. Kemble Ave., Suite 110C, Morristown, NJ 07960, for the following purposes:

1.

To elect members of the board directors to serve for a one-year term to expire at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders;

​

2.

To approve an amendment to the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares;

​

3.

To ratify the selection of MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, P.C. (“MSPC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019; and

​

4.

To transact such other business as may properly be brought before the 2018 Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

​

Our Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of our Board’s director nominees (Proposal 1), “FOR” the proposal to approve an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares (Proposal 2) and “FOR” the proposal to ratify MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (Proposal 3).

Instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to all of our shareholders, we provide access to these materials via the Internet. This reduces the amount of paper necessary to produce these materials as well as the costs associated with mailing these materials to all shareholders. Accordingly, on or about June 25, 2018, we will begin mailing a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to all shareholders of record on our books at the close of business on June 14, 2018, the record date for the 2018 Annual Meeting, and will post our proxy materials on the website referenced in the Notice. As more fully described in the Notice, shareholders may choose to access our proxy materials on the website referred to in the Notice or may request to receive a printed set of our proxy materials. In addition, the Notice and website provide information regarding how you may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail, or electronically by email, on an ongoing basis.

If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote in one of the following ways:

•

Vote over the Internet, by going to www.voteproxy.com (have your Notice or proxy card in hand when you access the website);

​

•

Vote by Mail, if you received (or requested and received) a printed copy of the proxy materials, by returning the enclosed proxy card (signed and dated) in the envelope provided; or

​

•

Vote in person at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

If your shares are held in “street name,” meaning that they are held for your account by a broker or other nominee, you will receive instructions from the holder of record that you must follow for your shares to be voted.

Whether or not you plan to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting in person, we urge you to take the time to vote your shares. This proxy statement and the form of proxy card are being mailed to shareholders on or about June 25, 2018.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

EXPLANATORY NOTE

We are an “emerging growth company” under applicable federal securities laws and therefore permitted to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements. As an emerging growth company, we provide in this proxy statement the scaled disclosure permitted under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result of being an emerging growth company, we are not required to (i) conduct votes seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers or the frequency with which such votes must be conducted or conduct votes seeking approval, on an advisory basis, of golden parachute payments not previously approved, or (ii) provide pay for performance, compensation ratio or a compensation discussion and analysis. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion; (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the preceding three-year period; and (iv) the last day of our fiscal year containing the fifth anniversary of the date on which shares of our common stock were offered in connection with the completion of our merger with Cover-All Technologies Inc. on June 26, 2015.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The following questions and answers present important information pertaining to the 2018 Annual Meeting:

Q:

Why are we holding the 2018 Annual Meeting?

​

A:

As a matter of good corporate practice, and in compliance with applicable corporate law and the NYSE American Company Guide (the “NYSE American Listing Rules”) of the NYSE American (“NYSE American”), we hold a meeting of shareholders annually. This year’s meeting will be held on August 13, 2018. There will be at least three items of business that must be voted on by our shareholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting, and our Board is seeking your proxy to vote on these items. This proxy statement contains important information about us and the matters that will be voted on at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Please read these materials carefully so that you have the information you need to make informed decisions.

​

Q:

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

​

A:

In accordance with rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we may furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our 2018 Annual Report, to our shareholders by providing access to such documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most shareholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless they request them. Instead, the Notice, which is being mailed to our shareholders on or about June 25, 2018, will instruct you as to how you may access and review all of the proxy materials over the Internet. The Notice also instructs you as to how you may submit your proxy on the Internet. If you would like to receive a paper or email copy of our proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials in the Notice.

​

Q:

Who is entitled to vote?

​

A:

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 14, 2018 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the 2018 Annual Meeting. A list of shareholders eligible to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting is available for inspection at any time up to the 2018 Annual Meeting. If you would like to inspect the list, please call our Corporate Secretary at (973) 461-5200 to arrange a visit to our offices.

​

Q:

How many shares of common stock can vote?

​

A:

There were 36,601,491 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date. Each shareholder entitled to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting may cast one vote for each share of common stock owned by him, her or it which has voting power upon each matter considered at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

Q:

What may I vote on?

​

A:

You may vote on the following matters:

​

1.

the election of members of the Board to serve for a one-year term to expire at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders;

​

2.

an amendment to the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares;

​

3.

the ratification of the selection of MSPC Certified Public Accountants and Advisors, P.C. (“MSPC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019; and

​

4.

any other business that may properly come before the 2018 Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

​

2

Q:

Will any other business be presented for action by shareholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting?

​

A:

Management knows of no business that will be presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting other than Proposals 1, 2 and 3. If any other matter properly comes before the 2018 Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card intend to vote the proxies (which confer discretionary authority to vote on such matters) in accordance with their judgment on the matter.

​

Q:

How does the Board recommend that I vote on each of the proposals?

​

A:

Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the director nominees (Proposal 1), “FOR” an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares (Proposal 2) and “FOR” the ratification of MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 (Proposal 3).

​

Q:

How do I vote my shares?

​

A:

The answer depends on whether you own your shares of common stock directly (that is, you hold shares that show your name as the registered shareholder) or if your shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee holder.

​

If you own your shares directly (i.e., you are a “registered shareholder”): your proxy is being solicited directly by us, and you can vote by mail, over the Internet or you can vote in person if you attend the 2018 Annual Meeting.

If you wish to vote by mail, please do the following: (i) sign and date the proxy card, (ii) mark the boxes indicating how you wish to vote, and (iii) return the proxy card in the prepaid envelope provided. If you sign your proxy card but do not indicate how you wish to vote, the proxies will vote your shares “FOR” the director nominees, “FOR” an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares, “FOR” the ratification of MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019, and, in their discretion, on any other matter that properly comes before the 2018 Annual Meeting. Unsigned proxy cards will not be counted.

If you wish to vote over the Internet, you will find instructions on the proxy card that you should follow. There may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers that must be paid by the shareholder. The Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate a shareholder’s identity to allow a shareholder to vote his, her or its shares and confirm that his, her or its instructions have been properly recorded. Voting over the Internet authorizes the named proxies to vote your shares in the same manner as if you had submitted a validly executed proxy card.

If you wish to vote in person at the meeting, written ballots will be passed out to anyone who wants to vote at the meeting.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other nominee: If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name through a bank, broker or other nominee, you may not vote your shares at the 2018 Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the bank, broker or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the 2018 Annual Meeting. A voting instruction card has been provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. If you receive a voting instruction card, you can vote by completing and returning the voting instruction card. Please be sure to mark your voting choices on your voting instruction card before you return it. You may also be able to vote via the Internet. Please refer to the instructions provided with your voting instruction card for information about voting. See also “Will my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy?” below.

Q:

What is a proxy?

​

A:

A proxy is a person you appoint to vote on your behalf. By using any of the methods discussed above, you will be appointing as your proxies Farid Kazani, our Chief Financial Officer, and Lori Stanley, our General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. They may act together or individually on your behalf, and

​

3

will have the authority to appoint a substitute to act as proxy. Whether or not you expect to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting in person, we request that you please use the means available to you to vote by proxy so as to ensure that your shares of common stock may be voted.

Q:

Will my shares be voted if I do not return my proxy?

​

A:

If your shares are registered directly in your name, your shares will not be voted if you do not vote by returning your proxy by mail, over the Internet or by ballot at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

If your shares are held in “street name,” your brokerage firm may, under certain circumstances, vote your shares if you do not timely return your voting instructions. Brokers can vote their customers’ unvoted shares on discretionary matters but cannot vote such shares on non-discretionary matters. If you do not timely return voting instructions to your brokerage firm to vote your shares, your brokerage firm may, on discretionary matters, either vote your shares or leave your shares unvoted.

Proposal 1, election of directors, is a non-discretionary matter. If you do not instruct your brokerage firm how to vote with respect to this proposal, your brokerage firm may not vote with respect to this proposal and those shares that would have otherwise been entitled to be voted will be counted as “broker non-votes.” “Broker non-votes” are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank or brokerage firm that indicates on its proxy that it does not have or did not exercise discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter.

Proposal 2, amendment to the 2015 Plan, is a non-discretionary matter. If you do not instruct your brokerage firm how to vote with respect to this proposal, your brokerage firm may not vote with respect to this proposal and those shares that would have otherwise been entitled to be voted will be counted as “broker non-votes.”

Proposal 3, ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm, is considered a discretionary matter, and your brokerage firm will be able to vote on this proposal even if it does not timely receive instructions from you, so long as it holds your shares in its name.

We encourage you to timely provide voting instructions to your brokerage firm or other nominee. This ensures that your shares will be voted at the 2018 Annual Meeting according to your instructions. You should receive directions from your brokerage firm or other nominee about how to submit your voting instructions to them.

Q:

What if I want to change my vote or revoke my proxy?

​

A:

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the 2018 Annual Meeting. To do so, you must do one of the following:

​

1.

Vote over the Internet as instructed above. Only your latest Internet vote is counted. You may not revoke or change your vote over the Internet after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 12, 2018.

​

2.

Sign a new proxy and submit it by mail to our Corporate Secretary who must receive the proxy card no later than August 12, 2018. Only your latest dated proxy will be counted.

​

3.

Attend the 2018 Annual Meeting and vote in person as instructed above. Attending the 2018 Annual Meeting alone will not revoke your Internet vote or proxy submitted by mail, as the case may be.

​

4.

Give our Corporate Secretary written notice before or at the meeting that you want to revoke your proxy.

​

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may submit new voting instructions with a later date by contacting your bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee. You may also vote in person at the 2018 Annual Meeting, which will have the effect of revoking any previously submitted voting instructions, if you obtain a broker’s legal proxy as described in the answer to the question “How do I vote my shares?” above.

4

Q:

What is a quorum?

​

A:

The holders of a majority of the 36,601,491 shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date, either present or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. A quorum is necessary in order to conduct the 2018 Annual Meeting. If you choose to have your shares represented by proxy at the 2018 Annual Meeting, you will be considered part of the quorum. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted as present for the purpose of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is not present by attendance at the 2018 Annual Meeting or represented by proxy, the shareholders present by attendance at the meeting or by proxy may adjourn the 2018 Annual Meeting until a quorum is present.

​

Q:

What vote is required to approve each matter and how are votes counted?

​

A:

Proposal 1 — Election of Directors

​

Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of directors in an uncontested election (which is the case in this election). With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN with respect to each director nominee. Any nominee receiving more votes FOR than AGAINST will be elected. If you ABSTAIN, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Proposal 1 is a non-discretionary matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your brokerage firm in “street name” and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on Proposal 1. Shares held in “street name” by banks, brokerage firms, or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have authority to vote the shares on Proposal 1 will not be counted as votes FOR or AGAINST any nominee. As a result, such “broker non-votes” or voting to ABSTAIN will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 1.

Proposal 2 — An amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares

Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present is required to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares. With respect to Proposal 2, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN with respect to the increase in shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan. If the proposal receives more votes FOR than AGAINST it will be approved. If you ABSTAIN, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Proposal 2 is a non-discretionary matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your brokerage firm in “street name” and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on Proposal 2. Shares held in “street name” by banks, brokerage firms, or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have authority to vote the shares on Proposal 2 will not be counted as votes FOR or AGAINST the proposal. As a result, such “broker non-votes” or voting to ABSTAIN will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2.

Proposal 3 — Ratification of Selection of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

With respect to Proposal 3, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. To approve Proposal 3, the votes cast FOR the ratification must exceed the votes cast AGAINST the ratification. Proposal 3 is a discretionary matter. If your shares are held by your brokerage firm in “street name” and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, your brokerage firm may vote your unvoted shares on Proposal 3. If you ABSTAIN from voting on Proposal 3, your shares will not be voted FOR or AGAINST the proposal and will also not be counted as votes cast or shares voting on the proposal. As a result, voting to ABSTAIN will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 3.

Although shareholder approval of our audit committee’s selection of MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 is not required, we believe that it is advisable to give shareholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If this proposal is not approved at the 2018 Annual Meeting, the audit committee will reconsider its selection of MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.

5

Q:

What if additional proposals are presented at the 2018 Annual Meeting?

​

A:

We do not intend to bring any other matter for a vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting, and we do not know of anyone else who intends to do so. However, with respect to any other business that properly comes before the 2018 Annual Meeting, your proxies are authorized to vote on your behalf using their judgment.

​

Q:

Do the directors and officers of the Company have an interest in the outcome of the matters to be voted on?

​

A:

Our directors and officers will not receive any special benefit as a result of the outcome of the matters to be voted on, except that our non-employee directors will receive compensation for their service as described later in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Proposal 1: Election of Directors —  Corporate Governance — Compensation of Non-Employee Directors” and our officers and directors may be the recipient of future awards under the 2015 Plan as described later in this Proxy Statement under the heading “Proposal 2: Approval of Amendment to 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.”

​

Q:

How many shares do the affiliates, directors and officers of the Company beneficially own, and how do they plan to vote their shares?

​

A:

Directors and executive officers, who, as of the Record Date, had beneficial ownership (or had the right to acquire beneficial ownership within sixty days following the Record Date) of approximately 3.52% of our outstanding common stock, and our two largest shareholders Majesco Limited, which owned of record as of the Record Date 25,530,125 shares of our common stock, and Mastek (UK) Limited, which owned of record as of the Record Date 5,044,875 shares of our common stock (or approximately 83.53% in the aggregate of our outstanding common stock), are expected to vote, or direct the voting of their shares, in favor of the election of the eight director nominees set forth in this proxy statement, in favor of an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares and in favor of the ratification of the selection of MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.

​

Q:

Who will count the votes?

​

A:

Our inspector of elections, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, will count the votes cast by proxy and the votes cast in person at the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

Q:

Who can attend the 2018 Annual Meeting?

​

A:

All shareholders are invited to attend the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

Q:

Are there any expenses associated with collecting the shareholder votes?

​

A:

We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and other materials to our shareholders. We do not anticipate hiring an agency to solicit votes from shareholders at this time; however, if we determine that such action would be appropriate or necessary, we would pay the cost of such service. Our officers and other employees may solicit proxies in person or by telephone but will receive no special compensation for doing so.

​

Q:

Where can you find the voting results?

​

A:

Voting results will be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which we will file with the SEC within four business days following the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

6

Q:

Who is our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, and will they be represented at the 2018 Annual Meeting?

​

A:

MSPC served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 and audited our financial statements for such fiscal year as of March 31, 2018. MSPC has been selected by the audit committee to serve in the same role and to provide the same services for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019. We expect that one or more representatives of MSPC will be present in person at the 2018 Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire, and will be available to answer appropriate questions at the end of the 2018 Annual Meeting.

​

Q:

How do I obtain an Annual Report on Form 10-K?

​

A:

If you would like a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 that we filed with the SEC, we will send you one without charge. Please write to:

PROPOSAL 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board currently consists of eight directors, and their terms will expire at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Directors are elected at the annual meeting of shareholders each year and hold office until their resignation or removal or their successors are duly elected and qualified. In accordance with our articles of incorporation and bylaws, vacancies on our Board (including vacancies created by the removal of any director) may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, whether or not less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of California, the term of office of a director elected by our Board to fill a vacancy expires at the next shareholders’ meeting at which directors are elected. Once the appointed director receives the requisite shareholder vote at the annual meeting, he or she will serve for the remainder of the full term of that class and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal.

Dr. Arun K. Maheshwari and Messrs. Earl Gallegos, Ketan Mehta, Sudhakar Ram, Atul Kanagat, Steven R. Isaac, Robert P. Restrepo, Jr. and Rajesh Hukku have each been nominated to serve as directors and have agreed to stand for election. If the nominees are elected at the 2018 Annual Meeting, then each nominee will serve for a one-year term expiring at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of directors in an uncontested election (which is the case in this election). With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN with respect to each director nominee. Any nominee receiving more votes FOR than AGAINST will be elected. If you ABSTAIN, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Proposal 1 is a non-discretionary matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your brokerage firm in “street name” and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on Proposal 1. Shares held in “street name” by banks, brokerage firms, or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have authority to vote the shares on Proposal 1 will not be counted as votes FOR or AGAINST any nominee. As a result, such “broker non-votes” or voting to ABSTAIN will have no effect on the voting on Proposal 1.

If no contrary indication is made, proxies are to be voted “FOR” Dr. Maheshwari and Messrs. Gallegos, Mehta, Ram, Kanagat, Isaac, Restrepo and Hukku or, in the event that any such individual is not a candidate or is unable to serve as a director at the time of the election (which is not currently expected), for any nominee who is designated by our Board to fill the vacancy.

Recommendation of our Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that the shareholders vote “FOR” the election of all of our director nominees at the 2018 annual meeting.

We believe that Mr. Isaac’s broad knowledge of the insurance technology industry and extensive experience managing acquisitions qualify him to serve on our Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

We believe that good corporate governance is important to ensure that our Company is managed for the long-term benefit of our shareholders. This section describes key corporate governance practices that we have adopted. We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code of Ethics”), which applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, Corporate Governance Guidelines, an Anti-Hedging Policy and charters for our audit committee, our compensation committee and our nominating and corporate governance committee. We have posted copies of our Code of Ethics, Corporate Governance Guidelines and Anti-Hedging Policy, as well as each of our committee charters, on the Corporate Governance page of the Investors section of our website, www.majesco.com, which you can access free of charge. Information contained on the website is not incorporated by reference in, or considered part of, this proxy statement.

We will also provide copies of these documents as well as our other corporate governance documents, free of charge, to any shareholder upon written request to Majesco, 412 Mount Kemble Ave., Suite 110C, Morristown, NJ 07960, Attn: Investor Relations.

Director Independence and Controlled Company Status

Majesco Limited, a private limited company domiciled in, and organized under the laws of, India, owns a majority interest in us and we are a “controlled company” under the NYSE American Listing Rules. The “controlled company” exception eliminates the requirements that we have (a) a majority of independent directors on our Board and (b) compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees composed entirely of independent directors, as independence is defined in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and under the NYSE American Listing Rules. The “controlled company” exception does not modify the independence requirements for the audit committee, and we are in compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the NYSE American.

We currently have a majority of independent directors on our Board. Our Board has determined that Dr. Maheshwari and Messrs. Gallegos, Isaac, Kanagat, Restrepo and Hukku are independent as defined under the corporate governance rules of the NYSE American.

Our Board considered the following relationships in connection with these independence determinations. None of the relationships described below were considered material relationships that impacted or would impact the applicable director’s independence:

Service on Advisory Board.   Our Board considered the fact that, prior to his appointment to our Board, Dr. Maheshwari served as a member of our Board of Advisors from 2011 to 2014 and received compensation for his service on the Board of Advisors in an amount commensurate with that received by other members of our Board of Advisors. Such compensation was below the amount for which disclosure of a transaction with a related person would be required pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for each applicable year. Dr. Maheshwari no longer serves on our Board of Advisors and no longer receives compensation for his services on our Board of Advisors.

Service as Director of Controlling Shareholder.   Our Board considered the fact that (i) Dr. Maheshwari served from 2015 until his resignation on August 3, 2017 as an independent director of Majesco Limited, the majority stockholder of Majesco, including as a member of the audit committee and corporate social responsibility committee of the board of directors of Majesco Limited and as chairman of the nomination, remuneration and compensation committee of Majesco Limited. However, no fees or expense reimbursements were paid to Dr. Maheshwari by Majesco Limited during his appointment to the Majesco Limited board of directors; (ii) Dr. Maheshwari served from October 24, 2013 until his resignation on June 1, 2015, as a non-executive director of Mastek Limited, including as a member of multiple committees of the board of directors of Mastek Limited and as chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of Mastek Limited. No fees or expense reimbursements were paid to Dr. Maheshwari by Mastek Limited during his appointment to the Mastek Limited board of directors; (iii) Mr. Kanagat currently serves as a non-executive director of Mastek Limited (including as Chairman of the Nomination

13

and Remuneration Committee and member of the Audit Committee of Mastek Limited), and has received reimbursement of expenses for attending the board meetings; and (iv) Mr. Kanagat provided services as a consultant for Majesco from July 2011 to December 2012, but these services were terminated in December 2012 and Mr. Kanagat’s compensation for such services was below the amount for which disclosure would be required pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Immaterial Compensation Paid to Family Member.   Our Board considered the fact that Rita Kanagat, daughter of Mr. Kanagat, was employed from June 2013 to June 2014 by our subsidiary Majesco Software and Solutions Inc., and, from July 2014 to May 7, 2015, provided services to us as a consultant. Such compensation is below the amount for which disclosure of a transaction with a related person would be required pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for each applicable year. Ms. Kanagat’s consulting agreement terminated on May 7, 2015 and she is no longer compensated by us or our affiliates.

If at any time we cease to be a “controlled company” under the NYSE American Listing Rules, our Board will take all action necessary to comply with the applicable the NYSE American Listing Rules, including establishing a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors, subject to any permitted “phase-in” periods under the NYSE American Listing Rules.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The leadership structure of our Board is comprised of a Chairman position that is separate from the Chief Executive Officer position. Mr. Ketan Mehta currently serves as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Arun K. Maheshwari serves as the Chairman of our Board. Our Board believes that the separation of the chief executive officer and chairman positions is an important component of an effective board and that this structure benefits the interests of all stockholders. Our Board believes that Dr. Maheshwari’s in-depth knowledge of our business and its challenges, as well as his experience in the industry as a whole, make him the best qualified person to serve as Chairman. In his capacity as Chairman, Dr. Maheshwari, among other things, ensures that our Board provides effective monitoring and guidance as needed to the senior management team, guides the development of our strategic plans with defined objectives for senior management to achieve the goals set out in the strategic plans, provides support to the management team in developing effective investor relations strategy and communication plans and robust human resources strategies and policies to support the strategic plans. Following our 2017 Annual Meeting, Dr. Maheshwari’s involvement with our strategic plans has diminished. Nonetheless, Dr. Maheshwari continues to provide guidance as needed to our President and Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management and continues to preside at all meetings of our Board. Our Board believes that this structure facilitates better communication between management and the Board.

Mr. Ketan Mehta, our President and Chief Executive Officer, also serves as a director. Our Board believes that Mr. Mehta’s service as a director enhances the Board’s oversight of our day-to-day operations and provides additional management expertise with respect to the complexities of our business.

At each regularly convened board meeting, the non-employee directors meet in executive session. Dr. Maheshwari presides over executive sessions of the non-employee directors of our Board.

One of the key functions of our Board is informed oversight of our risk management process and monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure. Our Board does not have a standing risk management committee, but rather administers this oversight function directly through our Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of our Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight.

Our audit committee has the responsibility to discuss guidelines and policies governing the process by which senior management of Majesco and our relevant departments, including our internal auditing department, identify, assess and manage our exposure to risk, as well as our major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures. Our audit committee also has the responsibility to review major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement

14

presentations, including any significant changes in our selection or application of accounting principles, major issues as to the adequacy of our internal controls, any special steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies and compliance policies and programs. Our audit committee also reviews and approves all related party transactions.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee monitors the effectiveness of our corporate governance practices.

Our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating annually our overall compensation structure and whether executive compensation arrangements are adequate in regards to costs of operations and competitiveness as well as whether they incentivize unnecessary or excessive risk taking by management.

Board Meetings

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 (“FY 2018”), our Board held a total of four (4) meetings. All of the directors attended every meeting of our Board, except Mr. Thompson and Mr. Ram who were absent for one (1) Board meeting each. Our audit committee met four (4) times, our compensation committee met four (4) times and our nominating and corporate governance committee met four (4) times during FY 2018. All of the directors attended every committee meeting, except Mr. Thompson who was absent for one compensation committee meeting and Mr. Ram who was absent for one nominating and corporate governance committee meeting. Mr. Thompson has since resigned from our board of directors and all committees effective April 26, 2018.

Board Committees

Our Board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board and is available on our website, www.majesco.com, under the “Investor Relations” section. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this proxy statement.

Audit Committee

Our audit committee consists of Dr. Maheshwari and Messrs. Gallegos, Kanagat and Restrepo, and is chaired by Mr. Gallegos. Our audit committee met four (4) times during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

Our Board has determined that each of the members of our audit committee is independent. See “Director Independence and Controlled Company Status” above.

The financial literacy requirements of the SEC also require that each member of our audit committee be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements. In addition, our Board has determined that each of Dr. Maheshwari and Messrs. Gallegos, Kanagat and Restrepo qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, and has financial sophistication in accordance with the NYSE American Listing Rules.

Compensation Committee

Our compensation committee consists of Messrs. Hukku, Isaac, Kanagat and Mehta and is chaired by Mr. Kanagat. Our compensation committee met four (4) times during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The primary purpose of our compensation committee is to (i) review, evaluate and approve all compensation of executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer; (ii) review, evaluate and make recommendations to our Board with respect to the compensation programs and polices applicable to our officers and directors, including all employee benefit plans and executive compensation plans; (iii) review and evaluate annually the overall compensation structure of Majesco as a whole and make recommendations to our Board with respect thereto; (iv) annually review and recommend to our Board for approval compensation and benefit programs for non-employee directors; and (v) prepare a report on executive compensation and review the annual Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of our proxy statement.

The functions of our compensation committee include, among other things:

establishing and reviewing general compensation policies;

​

•

administering our equity and non-equity incentive plans; and

​

•

preparing any reports of the Compensation Committee that Majesco may be required by SEC rules to include in the proxy statement or other filings.

​

The compensation committee meets regularly in executive session but not less than three times per year. The compensation committee may request that any directors, officers or other employees of Majesco, or any other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the compensation committee, attend any meeting of the compensation committee to provide such pertinent information as the compensation committee. Attendance by directors not appointed to the Committee is on a non-voting basis. In addition, the compensation committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants to assist in its evaluation of executive and director compensation, including the authority to approve the consultant’s reasonable fees and other retention terms.

The compensation committee is responsible for reviewing and evaluating annually the overall compensation structure of Majesco as a whole and whether executive compensation arrangements are adequate in regards to costs of operations and competitiveness as well as whether they incentivize unnecessary or excessive risk taking by management. The compensation committee makes recommendations to our Board on changes to executive compensation it deems appropriate based on this assessment.

The compensation committee also administers and exercises all authority (including the authority to grant equity awards) under our equity plans granted to the administering committee under any of our employee benefit plans and executive compensation plans and periodically reviews the operation of such plans.

Under the charter of the compensation committee, the compensation committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees, when appropriate, to address specific issues identified by the compensation committee. During our fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the compensation committee delegated the authority to grant awards to new hires (other than employees who are officers required to file reports of beneficial ownership under the Exchange Act), under our equity incentive plan pursuant to guidelines approved from time to time by the committee to a subcommittee of three non-directors. The subcommittee is required to report on all such grants to the compensation committee. In June 2016, our compensation committee also delegated authority to our President and Chief Executive Officer to approve the base salaries for all of our executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) and performance targets and annual performance bonuses for all executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers (as defined below)) in accordance with guidelines approved from time to time by the compensation committee.

Our compensation committee is not required to be fully independent due to our controlled company status. Our Board has determined that each of Messrs. Kanagat, Isaac and Hukku is independent. Our President and Chief Executive Officer abstains and recuses himself from participating in any decision on equity grants under our equity incentive plan or bonuses for himself and our other named executive officers. See “Director Independence and Controlled Company Status” above.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our nominating and corporate governance committee consists of Dr. Maheshwari and Messrs. Gallegos and Ram, and is chaired by Dr. Maheshwari. Our nominating and corporate governance committee met four (4) times during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018. The primary purpose of our nominating and corporate governance committee is (i) to identify and evaluate individuals qualified to become Board members, consistent with criteria approved by our Board and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and to recommend to the Board the director nominees for each annual meeting of our shareholders and from time to time fill vacancies on our Board; (ii) to develop and recommend to our Board Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to our Company, officers and directors, and to review and recommend to our Board any changes the nominating and corporate governance committee deems appropriate to such Corporate Governance Guidelines from time to time; (iii) to recommend to our Board director nominees for each Board committee and for the Chairperson of each committee; (iv) to oversee the annual performance evaluation of the Board and its committees and management; and (v) to take other actions as necessary to achieve the goals and responsibilities specified in the nominating and corporate governance committee charter.

Code of Ethics for Employees, Executive Officers and Directors

Our Board has adopted our Code of Ethics applicable to all of our employees, executive officers and directors. The Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.majesco.com, which you can access free of charge. Information contained on the website is not incorporated by reference in, or considered part of, this proxy statement.

Our Board is responsible for overseeing compliance with the Code of Ethics, and our Board or an appropriate committee thereof must approve any waivers of the Code of Ethics for employees, executive officers or directors. We disclose and intend to continue to disclose on our website any amendments to, or waivers from, our Code of Ethics that are required to be disclosed by law or the NYSE American Listing Rules.

Anti-Hedging Policy

Our Board believes that hedging transactions, while allowing holders to own Majesco securities without the full risks and rewards of ownership, potentially separate the holder’s interests from those of our security holders generally. As a result, our Board has adopted an anti-hedging policy pursuant to which no director or officer may, at any time, directly or indirectly, engage in any kind of hedging transaction that could reduce or limit such person’s holdings, ownership or interest in or to any common shares or other securities of Majesco, including, without limitation, outstanding stock options, deferred share units, restricted share units, or other compensation awards the value of which are derived from, referenced to or based on the value or market price of securities of Majesco.

Prohibited transactions include the purchase by a director or officer of financial instruments, including, without limitation, prepaid variable forward contracts, instruments for short sale or purchase or sale of call or put options, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchangeable funds, that are designed to or that may reasonably be expected to have the effect of hedging or offsetting a decrease in the market value of any securities of Majesco.

Director Nomination Process

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees for Directors

The nominating and corporate governance committee considers candidates submitted by a variety of sources (including incumbent directors, shareholders, Majesco management and third party search firms) when reviewing candidates to fill vacancies and/or expand the Board. If a vacancy arises or the Board decides to expand its membership, the nominating and corporate governance committee will ask each director to submit a list of potential candidates for consideration. The nominating and corporate governance committee will also consider potential nominees submitted by shareholders in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws and other processes adopted from time to time for submission of director nominees by shareholders or potential nominees submitted by Majesco management. If the committee deems it necessary, it may also retain an independent third party search firm to provide potential candidates. The nominating and corporate governance committee has the sole authority to approve the search firm’s fees and other retention terms. The committee also has authority to obtain advice and assistance from legal, accounting or other advisors.

The committee will also consider potential nominees submitted by stockholders as required under applicable securities laws. The committee then evaluates each potential candidate’s educational background, employment history, outside commitments and other relevant factors to determine whether he/she is potentially qualified to serve on the Board. The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks to identify and recruit the best available candidates, and intends to evaluate qualified shareholder nominees on the same basis as those submitted by Board members, Majesco management, third party search firms or other sources.

Under our bylaws, shareholders wishing to suggest a candidate for director must write to our Corporate Secretary. In order to give the nominating and corporate governance committee sufficient time to evaluate a recommended candidate and/or include the candidate in our proxy statement for the 2019 annual

18

meeting, the recommendation must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices in accordance with our procedures detailed in the section below entitled “Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations for 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.”

Such submissions must state the (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of the nominee, (B) the principal occupation or employment of each such person, (B) the principal occupation or employment of the nominee, (C) the number of shares of capital stock of the Majesco beneficially owned by the nominee, and a description of any and all Disclosable Interests (as that term is defined in our bylaws) held by the nominee or to which the nominee is a party, (D) a description of all arrangements, understandings or compensation between or among any of  (i) the proposing shareholder, (ii) the nominee, (iii) each such shareholder Associated Person (as that term is defined in the Bylaws), and (iv) any other person or persons (naming such person or persons), in each case relating to the nomination or pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the nominating shareholder and/or relating to the candidacy or service of the nominee as a director, (E) such other information concerning each such person as would be required under the rules of the SEC in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such person as a director, and must be accompanied by a consent, signed by the nominee to serve as a director of Majesco if elected, and (F) if the nominee or the nominating shareholder or any such shareholder Associated Person expresses an intention or recommendation that Majesco enter into a strategic transaction, any material interest in such transaction of each such proposed nominee, shareholder or shareholder Associated Person, including without limitation any equity interests or any Disclosable Interests held by each such nominee, shareholder or shareholder Associated Person in any other person the value of which interests could reasonably be expected to be materially affected by such transaction. To be proper notice, the shareholder’s notice must also include a written questionnaire completed by the proposed nominee with respect to the background and qualifications of such proposed nominee (which form of questionnaire shall be provided by the Secretary upon written request).

Director Qualifications

We do not have specific criteria for directors except to the extent required to meet applicable legal, regulatory and stock exchange requirements, including, but not limited to, the independence requirements of the NYSE American and securities laws applicable to “controlled companies”. Nominees for director are selected on the basis of outstanding achievement in their personal careers, board experience, wisdom, integrity, ability to make independent and analytical inquiries, understanding of the business environment and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties. Our nominating and corporate governance committee believes that each director should have a basic understanding of  (i) the principal operational and financial objectives and plans and strategies of Majesco, (ii) the results of operations and financial condition of Majesco and of any significant subsidiaries or business segments and (iii) the relative standing of Majesco and its business segments in relation to its competitors. When nominating a sitting director for re-election at an annual meeting, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the director’s performance on the Board and the director’s qualifications in respect of the foregoing.

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s goal is to assemble a Board that brings to the Company a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high quality business and professional experience. Moreover, the nominating and corporate governance committee is of the view that the composition of our Board, as a whole, should reflect a mix of skills and expertise that are appropriate for our company given our circumstances and that, collectively, enables our Board to perform its oversight function effectively. Nominees are not discriminated against on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion or disability.

Director Attendance at Annual Meetings

Our policy is that directors should attend our annual meetings of shareholders.

Shareholder Communications with our Board

Shareholders and other interested persons seeking to communicate with our Board must submit their written communications to our Senior Vice President of Finance, at Majesco, 412 Mount Kemble Ave., Suite 110C, Morristown, NJ 07960. Such communications must include the number of Majesco securities

19

owned, beneficially or otherwise, by the person issuing the communication. Our Senior Vice President of Finance will forward such communications to the Chairman of the Board and to any individual member of our Board to whom any communication is specifically addressed. The Chairman of our Board (and any individual director to whom the communication was specifically addressed) will determine what further steps are appropriate depending on the facts and circumstances outlined in the communication.

Majesco Performance Bonus Plan

Each of our named executive officers participates in, and is eligible to receive a bonus under, the Majesco Performance Bonus Plan (the “Performance Bonus Plan”). For our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, the threshold, target and maximum bonus (as a percentage of base salary) that each of our named executive officers was eligible to receive is set forth in the table below:

(1)

The threshold bonus detailed here refers to the lowest percentage attainment with respect to a performance goal that the named executive officer could receive. Accordingly, a named executive officer could receive a bonus beneath this percentage if, for example, the named executive officer attained the threshold with respect to one target, but did not attain the threshold with respect to all other targets.

​

Bonuses for 2018 under the Performance Bonus Plan are awarded based on the achievement of both company performance linked targets (order book, revenue and adjusted EBITDA) and individual performance targets set by the compensation committee. The threshold bonus payable for any given company performance-linked target would occur if at least 80% of the given company performance-linked target is achieved. Once the 80% threshold is achieved for such company performance-linked target, a named executive officer’s entitlement to a performance bonus with respect to such target would increase by 2.5% for each 1% of additional attainment against such target up to 112% achievement of the target. The threshold bonus payable for any given individual performance target would occur if at least 50% of the given individual performance target is achieved. Once the 50% threshold is achieved for such individual performance target, a named executive officer’s entitlement to a performance bonus will be based on a performance assessment and rating determination of the compensation committee. Maximum payout is capped at 130%.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, entitlement of Mr. Mehta to a performance-based bonus was based (i) 30% on the percentage achievement of  company performance-linked targets (order book, revenue and adjusted EBITDA) and (ii) 70% on the percentage achievement of individual performance targets (cloud strategy and positioning, and success of L&A business). Based on the compensation committee’s review of the Company and individual performance against these goals, Mr. Mehta received a $100,000 bonus for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, entitlement of Mr. Shah to a performance-based bonus was based (i) 30% on the percentage achievement of  company performance-linked targets (order book, revenue and adjusted EBITDA) and (ii) 70% on the percentage achievement of individual performance targets (meet product release plan, success of customer accounts, support delivery success, cloud positioning and product support). Based on the compensation committee’s review of the Company and individual performance against these goals, Mr. Shah received a $100,000 bonus for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, entitlement of Mr. Ossie to a performance-based bonus was based (i) 30% on the percentage achievement of  company performance-linked targets (order book, revenue and adjusted EBITDA) and (ii) 70% on the percentage achievement of individual performance targets (strategic partnerships, order book achievement, client partner achieving revenue, pipeline development and P&C strategy and positioning).

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our named executive officers that provide for salary, bonus and severance compensation. For more information regarding these employment agreements, see “Executive Compensation — Employment Agreements” and “Executive Compensation — Potential Payments Upon a Termination or Change of Control.”

Equity Issued to Executive Officers and Directors

We have granted equity incentives to our named executive officers and non-employee directors, as more fully described in “Executive Compensation — Employment Agreements,” “Executive Compensation —  Equity Awards During Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2018 and 2017” and “Proposal 1: Election of Directors — Corporate Governance — Compensation of Non-Employee Directors.”

Indemnification Agreements with our Directors and Officers

Our charter documents provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, expenses and other amounts imposed upon them because of having been a director or officer, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in the best interests of Majesco, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful.

33

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements (the “Majesco Indemnification Agreements”) with all of our officers and directors. These indemnification agreements supplement the indemnification rights under our charter documents and provide that we will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify such directors and officers against any and all expenses and liabilities incurred by each such indemnitees in the course of conduct of our business or the business of any of our affiliates. We will not be liable under the Majesco Indemnification Agreements to make any duplicate payment to any director or officer in respect of any expenses or liabilities to the extent such indemnitee has otherwise received payment under any insurance policy, our charter documents, other indemnity provisions or otherwise of the amounts which Majesco must otherwise pay under the Majesco Indemnification Agreements. In the event of an indemnification pursuant to the Majesco Indemnification Agreements, we may provide for and pay for the costs of the defense against any legal action in respect of liabilities as to which it has indemnified the director or executive officer, and the obligations to indemnify will continue to the extent provided in the indemnification agreements notwithstanding that the director or officer may no longer be a director or officer of Majesco. Further, pursuant to the Majesco Indemnification Agreements, we may maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage.

We believe that these charter document provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our charter documents may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and our shareholders. A shareholder’s investment may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

PROPOSAL 2: APPROVAL OF
AMENDMENT TO 2015 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

Summary

On May 9, 2018, the Board of Directors approved, subject to shareholder approval, certain amendment to the 2015 Plan. If approved by our shareholders would increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan by 2,000,000 shares to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares. As of March 31, 2018, only 545,788 shares remained available for future awards under the 2015 Plan.

The purpose of the 2015 Plan is to aid in attracting and retaining employees, management and members of the Board of Directors. The Company desires to motivate them to put forth maximum efforts for the success of the business. In reviewing our compensation practices, including in light of various evolving market practices, as well as to enhance the Company’s flexibility to make awards, our board of directors determined to make the above change to the 2015 Plan. In addition, the proposed amendment will ensure our ability to continue to grant stock options and other awards, which are vital to our ability to attract and retain outstanding and highly skilled individuals in the extremely competitive labor markets in which we must compete. Our employees are our most valuable asset, and such awards are crucial to our ability to motivate individuals in our service to achieve our goals. We believe strongly that the approval of this amendment to our 2015 Plan, as proposed, is instrumental to our continued success.

Proposed Awards Grants Under the 2015 Plan

On June 7, 2018, our board amended the non-employee director compensation policy to provide that effective immediately, upon joining the Board, each new non-employee director shall receive a grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock under the 2015 Plan, which, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service, will vest approximately 33.33% annually over three years. In addition, at such time as all options previously granted to current non-employee directors vest in full, each such non-employee director shall receive an additional grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock under the 2015 Plan, which, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service, will vest approximately 33.33% annually over three years.

Other than the awards described for our non-employee directors, the number, amount and type of awards to be received by or allocated to eligible persons under the 2015 Plan cannot be determined at this time. The Company is not currently considering any specific additional awards under the 2015 Plan other than as stated above. For information regarding awards granted to our named executive officers during our fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, see “Executive Compensation.”

Summary of the Majesco 2015 Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of the principal features of the 2015 Plan and its operation. Because it is not a complete description of all the terms and conditions of the 2015 Plan, this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2015 Plan previously filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the registration statement on Form S-4 of Majesco filed with the SEC on April 1, 2015.

•

shares subject to issuance upon exercise of an option (“Option”) or stock appreciation right (“SAR”) granted under the 2015 Plan but which cease to be subject to the Option or SAR for any reason other than exercise of the Option or SAR;

​

•

shares subject to awards granted under the 2015 Plan that are forfeited or are repurchased by Majesco at the original issue price;

​

•

shares subject to awards granted under the 2015 Plan that otherwise terminate without shares being issued;

​

•

shares surrendered, cancelled, or exchanged for cash; and

​

•

shares used or withheld to pay the exercise price of an award granted under the 2015 Plan or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award granted under the 2015 Plan.

​

Term

The 2015 Plan will terminate ten years from the plan effective date, unless it is terminated earlier by our board of directors.

Eligibility

Employees, consultants, directors and non-employee directors of Majesco and its parents and subsidiaries will be eligible to receive grants under the 2015 Plan, provided such persons provide services to Majesco and/or its subsidiaries, as determined by the Administrator (as defined below). Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of Majesco and its parents and subsidiaries.

36

Administration

The 2015 Plan will be administered by the members of the Compensation Committee who are non-employee directors under applicable federal securities laws and are outside directors as defined under applicable federal tax laws. The full board of directors will administer the 2015 Plan with respect to grants made to non-employee directors (as applicable, the “Administrator”). The Administrator will have the power to delegate its authority to administer the 2015 Plan to any subcommittee consisting of one or more executive officers; provided that such delegation is permitted by law. The Administrator will have the authority to construe and interpret the 2015 Plan, grant awards and make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2015 Plan and the granting of awards thereunder.

Awards and Plan Limits

The 2015 Plan will provide for the grant of Options, restricted stock awards, SARs, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and/or performance awards (each, an “Award”) with certain limits as to the number of shares that may be awarded in one year as may be set forth in the 2015 Plan.

Awards Available for Grant under the 2015 Plan

Stock Options

The 2015 Plan will provide for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified options. The exercise price of each Option must be at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options granted to 10% stockholders must be at least equal to 110% of that value. All Options shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Award agreement, which shall also state whether the Option is an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option.

The maximum term of an Option will be determined by the Administrator on the date of grant but shall not exceed 10 years (5 years in the case of incentive stock options granted to any 10% stockholders).

In the case of incentive stock options, the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of common stock with respect to which such incentive stock option becomes exercisable for the first time during any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. Incentive stock options granted in excess of this limitation will be treated as non-qualified stock options.

If a participant terminates services with Majesco or the combined company (or applicable affiliates) due to death or disability, the participant’s unexercised Options may be exercised to the extent they were exercisable on the termination date, for a period of twelve months from the termination date (unless a shorter period not less than six months is set forth in the participant’s Award agreement) or until the expiration of the original Option term, if shorter. If the participant terminates employment with Majesco or the combined company (or applicable affiliates) for “Cause” (as defined in the 2015 Plan), all unexercised Options (whether vested or unvested) will terminate and be forfeited on the termination date. If the participant’s employment terminates for any other reason, any vested but unexercised Options may be exercised by the participant, to the extent exercisable at the time of termination, for a period of 90 days from the termination date (or such time as specified by the Administrator) or until the expiration of the original Option term, whichever period is shorter. Unless otherwise provided by the compensation committee, any Options that are not exercisable at the time of termination of employment shall terminate and be forfeited on the termination date.

Restricted Stock

A restricted stock award is a grant of our common stock subject to restrictions, as set forth in an applicable Award agreement. The price (if any) of a restricted stock award will be determined by the Administrator. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, vesting will cease on the date the participant no longer provides services to Majesco or the combined company (or applicable affiliates) and any unvested portion of the Award will generally be forfeited.

37

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs)

SARs provide for a payment, or payments, in cash or shares of our common stock, to the holder based upon the difference between the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise and the stated exercise price up to a maximum amount of cash or number of shares. SARs may vest based on time or achievement of performance conditions, as set forth in an applicable Award agreement. The maximum term of a SAR is 10 years and upon termination of service the SAR would generally be subject to the same rules regarding exercise and forfeiture as are applicable to Options.

Restricted Stock Units

An RSU is an Award that covers a number of shares of our common stock that may be settled upon vesting in cash, by the issuance of the underlying shares or a combination of both. These awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment or failure to achieve certain performance conditions, as set forth in an applicable Award agreement.

Performance Shares

A performance share is an Award which either (a) covers a number of shares of common stock or (b) provides for an amount in cash that, in either case, may be settled upon achievement of the pre-established performance conditions (subject to any equitable adjustments permitted under the 2015 Plan) in cash or by issuance of the underlying shares. These Awards are subject to forfeiture prior to settlement because of termination of employment and/or failure to achieve the performance conditions.

The performance conditions may be based on any of the following objective measures, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, as such performance condition applies to the company as a whole or any business unit or subsidiary or any combination and measured, to the extent applicable, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target. Such measures are:

•

cause any or all outstanding Awards to become vested and immediately exercisable (as applicable), in whole or in part;

​

•

cause any outstanding Option to become fully vested and immediately exercisable for a reasonable period in advance of the Corporate Transaction and, cancel any unexercised portion of the Option upon closing of the Corporate Transaction;

​

•

cancel any Award in exchange for a substitute award;

​

•

redeem any restricted stock or RSU for cash and/or other substitute consideration on the date of the Corporate Transaction;

​

•

cancel any Option in exchange for cash and/or other substitute consideration; and/or

​

•

take such other action as the Administrator shall determine to be reasonable under the circumstances.

​

Additional Provisions

Awards granted under the 2015 Plan may not be transferred in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or as determined by the Administrator. The board of directors may amend, suspend or terminate the 2015 Plan and the Compensation Committee may amend any outstanding Award at any time; provided, however, that no such amendment or termination may adversely affect Awards then outstanding without the holder’s permission. No Award shall become exercisable, no shares of common stock shall be issued, no certificates for shares of common stock shall be delivered and no payment shall be made under the 2015 Plan except in compliance with all applicable laws.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise and vesting of awards under the 2015 Plan and the disposition of shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such awards. This summary is intended to reflect the current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code) and the regulations thereunder. However, this summary is not intended to be a complete statement of applicable law, nor does it address foreign, state, local and payroll tax considerations. Moreover, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant.

Options

There are a number of requirements that must be met for a particular Option to be treated as an incentive stock option. One such requirement is that common stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option cannot be disposed of before the later of  (i) two years from the date of grant of the Option, or (ii) one year from the date of its exercise. Holders of incentive stock options will generally incur no federal income tax liability at the time of grant or upon exercise of those Options. However, the spread at exercise will be an “item of tax preference,” which may give rise to “alternative minimum tax” liability for the taxable year in which the exercise occurs. If the holder does not dispose of the shares before the later of two years following the date of grant and one year following the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized upon disposition of the shares will constitute long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be. Assuming both holding periods are satisfied, no deduction will be allowed to the Company for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or exercise of the incentive stock option. If, within two years following the date of grant or within one year following the date of exercise, the holder of shares acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option disposes of those shares, the participant will generally realize taxable compensation at the time of such disposition equal to the difference between the exercise price and the lesser of the fair market value of the share on the date of exercise or the amount realized on the subsequent disposition of the shares, and that amount will generally be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, subject to the possible limitations on deductibility under applicable provisions of the Code.

No income will be realized by a participant upon grant of a non-qualified stock option. Upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the underlying exercised shares over the option exercise price paid at the time of exercise. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under applicable provisions of the Code.

Restricted Stock

A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an award of restricted stock unless the participant otherwise elects to be taxed at the time of grant pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. On the date an award of restricted stock becomes transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on that date over the amount the participant paid for such shares, if any. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. If the participant made an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income at the time of grant equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant over the amount the participant paid for such shares, if any, and any subsequent appreciation in the value of the shares will be treated as a capital gain upon sale of the shares. Special rules apply to the receipt and disposition of restricted shares received by officers and directors who are subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. The Company will be able to deduct, at the same time as it is recognized by the participant, the amount of taxable compensation to the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under applicable provisions of the Code.

40

Restricted Stock Units

A participant will not be subject to tax upon the grant of an RSU award. Rather, upon the delivery of shares or cash pursuant to a RSU award, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income equal to the fair market value of the number of shares (or the amount of cash) the participant actually receives with respect to the award. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to deduct the amount of taxable compensation recognized by the participant for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but the deduction may be limited under applicable provisions of the Code.

SARs

No income will be realized by a participant upon grant of an SAR. Upon the exercise of an SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income in an amount equal to the fair market value of the payment received in respect of the SAR. Such income will be subject to income tax withholdings, and the participant will be required to pay to the Company the amount of any required withholding taxes in respect to such income. The Company will be able to deduct this same amount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but such deduction may be limited under applicable provisions of the Code.

Section 162(m) Limitation

In general, under Section 162(m), income tax deductions of publicly-held corporations may be limited to the extent total compensation (including base salary, annual bonus, stock option exercises and non-qualified benefits paid) for certain executive officers exceeds $1 million (less the amount of any “excess parachute payments” as defined in Section 280G of the Code) in any one year. Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”), covered employees generally consisted of our Chief Executive Officer and each of the next three highest compensated officers serving at the end of the taxable year other than our Chief Financial Officer, and compensation that qualified as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) was exempt from this $1 million deduction limitation. As part of the TCJA, the ability to rely on this exemption was, with certain limited exceptions, eliminated; in addition, the definition of covered employees was expanded to generally include all named executive officers. Certain awards under the 2015 Plan granted prior to November 2, 2017 may be grandfathered from the changes made by the TCJA under certain limited transition relief; however, for grants after that date and any grants which are not grandfathered, we will no longer be able to take a deduction for any compensation in excess of  $1 million that is paid to a covered employee. There is no guarantee that we will be able to take a deduction for any compensation in excess of $1 million that is paid to a covered employee under the 2015 Plan.

Vote Required and Recommendation of our Board

Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present is required to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2015 Plan to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares. With respect to Proposal 2, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN with respect to the increase in shares authorized under the 2015 Plan. If the proposal receives more votes FOR than AGAINST it will be approved. If you ABSTAIN, your shares will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum but will not be counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast. Proposal 2 is a non-discretionary matter. Therefore, if your shares are held by your brokerage firm in “street name” and you do not timely provide voting instructions with respect to your shares, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on Proposal 2. Shares held in “street name” by banks, brokerage firms, or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they do not have authority to vote the shares on Proposal 2 will not be counted as votes FOR or AGAINST the proposal. As a result, such “broker non-votes” or voting to ABSTAIN will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2.

Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” an amendment to the 2015 Plan to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder to 5,877,263 shares from 3,877,263 shares.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Our audit committee has selected MSPC as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019 and our Board has directed that management submit the selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by the shareholders at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Representatives of MSPC are expected to be physically present at the 2018 Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire, and be available to respond to appropriate questions. MSPC was appointed to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm in November 2014.

Shareholder ratification of the selection of MSPC as the company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by California law or our charter documents. However, our Board is submitting the audit committee’s selection of MSPC to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the selection of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the company and its shareholders.

Independent Registered Public Accountants’ Fees

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed by MSPC as described below:

Audit Fees:   Audit Fees consist of fees billed for professional services performed by MSPC for the audit of our annual financial statements, the review of interim consolidated financial statements, and related services that are normally provided in connection with registration statements.

Audit-Related Fees:   Audit Related Fees may consist of fees billed by an independent registered public accounting firm for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements.

Tax Fees:   Tax Fees may consist of fees for professional services, including tax consulting and compliance performed by an independent registered public accounting firm. There were no such fees incurred by Majesco in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017.

All Other Fees:   Other fees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018 included fees for comfort letters such as the comfort letters issued in connection with the qualified institutional placement by Majesco Limited in January 2018. There were no other fees incurred by Majesco in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.

The audit committee has considered the services listed above to be compatible with maintaining MSPC’s independence.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

In accordance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, our audit committee charter requires the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and permitted non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the review and approval in advance of our independent registered public accounting firm’s annual engagement letter and the proposed fees contained therein. The audit committee has the ability to delegate the authority to pre-approve non-audit services to one or more designated members of the audit committee. If such authority is delegated, such delegated members of the

42

audit committee must report to the full audit committee at the next audit committee meeting all items pre-approved by such delegated members. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, all of the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by the audit committee.

Recommendation of our Board

Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the selection of MSPC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our capital stock outstanding as of the Record Date by:

•

each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our shares of common stock;

​

•

each of our directors and director nominees;

​

•

each of our named executive officers; and

​

•

all of our directors and executive officers as a group.

The percentage ownership information is based on 36,601,491 shares of common stock outstanding as of the Record Date. Information with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each director, officer or beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules attribute beneficial ownership of securities as of a particular date to persons who hold options or warrants to purchase shares of common stock and that are exercisable within 60 days of such date. These shares are deemed to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons or entities identified in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to applicable community property laws.

Except as otherwise noted below, the address for each person or entity listed in the table is c/o Majesco, 412 Mount Kemble Ave, Suite 110C, Morristown, NJ 07960.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR 2019
ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented at our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders must be received by us no later than February 25, 2019, which is 120 calendar days prior to date on which our proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting, in order to be included in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, unless the date of the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders is changed by more than 30 days from the anniversary of 2018 Annual Meeting, in which case the deadline for such proposals will be a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. These proposals must comply with the requirements as to form and substance established by the SEC for such proposals in order to be included in the proxy statement.

In addition, our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for nominations for election to our Board and other matters that shareholders wish to present for action at an annual meeting (other than those to be included in our proxy statement for which the deadline is as set forth above). In general, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 calendar days before nor more than 120 calendar days before the one year anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of shareholders. Therefore, to be presented at our 2019 annual meeting of shareholders, such a proposal must be received by us no earlier than April 11, 2019 and no later than May 10, 2019. However, if the date of the annual meeting on a date that differs by more than 60 calendar days from such anniversary date, notice must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting is made or given to shareholders.

Any proposals we do not receive in accordance with the above standards will not be voted on at the 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. Shareholders are advised to review our bylaws which also specify requirements as to the form and content of a shareholder’s notice.

Any proposals, notices or information about proposed director candidates should be sent to:

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO SHAREHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

The SEC has adopted rules known as “householding” that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to deliver one set of proxy materials to multiple shareholders residing at the same address. This process enables us to reduce our printing and distribution costs, and reduce our environmental impact. Householding is available to both registered shareholders and beneficial owners of shares held in street name.

Registered Shareholders

If you are a registered shareholder and have consented to householding, then we will deliver or mail one Notice or set of our proxy materials, as applicable, for all registered shareholders residing at the same address. Your consent will continue unless you revoke it, which you may do at any time by providing notice to the Company’s Corporate Secretary by telephone at (973) 461-5200 or by mail at 412 Mount Kemble Ave., Suite 110C, Morristown, NJ 07960. In addition, the Company will promptly deliver, upon written or oral request to the address or telephone number above, a separate copy of the annual report, proxy statement, or Notice to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the documents was delivered.

If you are a registered shareholder who has not consented to householding, then we will continue to deliver or mail Notices or copies of our proxy materials, as applicable, to each registered shareholder residing at the same address. You may elect to participate in householding and receive only one Notice or set of proxy materials, as applicable, for all registered shareholders residing at the same address by providing notice to the Company as described above.

Street Name Holders

Shareholders who hold their shares through a brokerage may elect to participate in householding, or revoke their consent to participate in householding, by contacting their respective brokers.

ANNUAL REPORT

This proxy statement is accompanied by our 2018 Annual Report to Shareholders, which includes our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.
