(d) Election of New Director.

On August 15, 2012, Insignia Systems, Inc. (“Insignia” or the “Company”) announced that Mr. Edward A. Corcoran, 48, has been appointed a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective August 14, 2012. Mr. Corcoran’s election expands the Board to seven directors, six of whom are independent.

On August 14, 2012, Mr. Corcoran received the automatic non-qualified stock option grant made to all new board members pursuant to the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Option Plan subject to the standard terms and conditions of such grants. The option allows for the purchase of 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $1.62 per share, the closing price on the date of the grant. The options are immediately exercisable and must be exercised within: i) ten (10) years from the date of grant; or ii) ninety (90) days after the director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, whichever is earlier.

In addition, Mr. Corcoran will receive a pro-rata portion of the standard $10,000 annual retainer paid to board members from the date of his appointment through the date of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting. Finally, he will receive standard fees for attendance at board and committee meetings and conference calls of $1,000, $500 and $250, respectively.
