PROXY STATEMENT

2014 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS




GENERAL INFORMATION


        This proxy statement and accompanying proxy card is being mailed to the stockholders of Regal One Corporation ("Regal One," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") beginning on November 11, 2014. Our Board of Directors, or the Board, is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on December 29, 2014 at 11835 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 1235E, Los Angeles, California, at 9:00 AM local time. The Company will bear all expenses incurred in connection with this proxy solicitation, which we expect to conduct primarily by mail. In addition, our officers and regular employees may solicit your proxy by telephone, by facsimile transmission or in person, for which they will not be separately compensated. If your shares are held through a broker or other nominee (i.e., in "street name"), we have requested that your broker or nominee forward this proxy statement to you and obtain your voting instructions, for which the Company will reimburse them for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.


VOTING INFORMATION


Record Date and Who May Vote


        Our Board of Directors selected November 10, 2014 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. This means that if you were a registered stockholder with our transfer agent and registrar, OTR, Inc., on the Record Date, you may vote your shares on the matters to be considered by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. If your shares were held in street name on that date, the broker or other nominee that was the record holder of your shares has the authority to vote them at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions. They have forwarded to you this proxy statement seeking your instructions on how you want your shares voted.


        On the Record Date, 3,633,067 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles its holder to one vote on each matter to be acted on at the Annual Meeting. We also have 100,000 shares of Preferred stock outstanding, each of which votes as if it represents one share of common.  Therefore, a total of 3,733,067 votes may be cast at this meeting.








How to Vote


        For shares held of record, you can vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting or vote now by giving us your proxy. You may give us your proxy by completing the enclosed proxy card and returning it in the enclosed U.S. postage-prepaid envelope, or by calling a toll-free telephone number or using the Internet as further described on the enclosed proxy card. In either case, telephone and Internet voting procedures have been designed to verify your identity through a personal identification or control number and to confirm that your voting instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote using either of these electronic means, you will save us return mail expense.


        By giving us your proxy, you will be directing us on how to vote your shares at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan on attending the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote now by giving us your proxy. This will ensure that your vote is represented at the Annual Meeting. If you do attend the Annual Meeting, you can change your vote at that time, if you then desire to do so.


        If your shares are held in street name, the broker or nominee that holds your shares has the authority to vote them, absent your approval, only as to routine matters, which, in the case of the Annual Meeting, only applies to the proposal to ratify our appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. For all other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the broker or nominee that holds your shares will need to obtain your authorization to vote those shares and has enclosed a voting instruction form with this proxy statement. In either case, they will vote your shares as you direct on their voting instruction form. You can vote by completing the enclosed voting instruction form and returning it in the enclosed U.S. postage-prepaid envelope. If you want to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker or nominee. You should refer to the instructions provided in the enclosed voting instruction form for further information. Additionally, the availability of telephone or Internet voting depends on the voting process used by the broker or nominee that holds your shares.


        You may receive more than one proxy statement and proxy card or voting instruction form if your shares are held through more than one account (e.g., through different brokers or nominees). Each proxy card or voting instruction form only covers those shares of common stock held in the applicable account. If you hold shares in more than one account, you will have to provide voting instructions as to all your accounts to vote all your shares.





2





How to Revoke or Change Your Vote


        For shares held of record, you may revoke a proxy or change your vote at any time before it is exercised by written notice to our Corporate Secretary, granting a new proxy or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Unless you attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person, you should change your vote using the same method (by telephone, Internet or mail) that you first used to vote your shares. That way, the inspectors of election for the meeting will be able to verify your latest vote.


        For shares held in street name, you should follow the instructions in the voting instruction form provided by your broker or nominee to change your vote. If you want to change your vote as to shares held in street name by voting in person at the Annual Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from the broker or nominee that holds those shares for you.



Quorum


        The Annual Meeting will be held only if a quorum exists. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the Record Date will constitute a quorum. If you attend the meeting or vote your shares using the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form (including any telephone or Internet voting procedures provided), your shares will be counted toward a quorum, even if you abstain from voting on a particular matter.



Proposals to Be Voted on; Vote Required; and How Votes Are Counted


        We are asking you to vote on the following:


    •       the election of all of the members of our Board of Directors;


    •

the ratification of our appointment of Boulay PLLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014; and


    •       an advisory vote on executive compensation.



3





        Election of Directors.    Directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, with respect to each director in an uncontested election, such that a nominee for director will be elected to the Board of Directors if the votes cast FOR the nominee's election exceed the votes cast AGAINST such nominee's election. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast for purposes of the election of directors and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of such election. Even if a nominee is not re-elected, he will remain in office as a director until his earlier resignation or removal. Each of the current director nominees has signed a letter of resignation that will be effective if the nominee is not re-elected at the Annual Meeting and the Board of Directors accepts his resignation following the meeting. If a nominee is not re-elected, the Board of Directors will decide whether to accept the director's resignation in accordance with the procedures listed in our Corporate Governance and Stock Ownership Guidelines, which are available at http://mainstcapital.com under "Governance" in the "Investor Relations" section of our website.


        Ratification of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.    The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required to ratify the appointment of Boulay PLLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote on this item.


        Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation.    The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required for the approval of the resolution in this proposal. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote on this item. Even though your vote is advisory and therefore not binding on us, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding executive compensation.


        We are not aware of any other matters that may be presented or acted on at the Annual Meeting. If you vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card or using the telephone or Internet voting procedures, the individuals named as proxies on the card may vote your shares, in their discretion, on any other matter requiring a stockholder vote that comes before the Annual Meeting.





4





Confidential Voting


        All voted proxies and ballots will be handled to protect your voting privacy as a stockholder. Your vote will not be disclosed except:


    •        to meet any legal requirements;


    •        to permit independent inspectors of election to tabulate and certify your vote; or


    •        to adequately respond to your written comments on your proxy card.



ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

(ITEM 1)



        Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, each member of our Board of Directors serves a one-year term, until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his respective successor is duly qualified and elected. Currently, our Board of Directors has five positions, of whom three are to be non-interested persons, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The 1940 Act requires that our Board be composed of a majority of members who are not "interested persons" of Regal One.


        The term of office of all directors will expire at this year's Annual Meeting. On the nomination of our Board of Directors, Messrs. BERNARD L. BRODKORB, MALCOLM CURRIE, CHARLES J. NEWMAN will stand for re-election as directors, and ROBERT M. TERRY and STEVEN E. BOYNTON, will stand for initial election, at the Annual Meeting, all for a term of one year.


        Unless otherwise directed, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card intend to vote "FOR" the election of the nominees. If any nominee should become unavailable for election, the shares will be voted for such substitute nominee as may be proposed by our Board of Directors. However, we are not aware of any circumstances that would prevent any of the nominees from serving.


        Set forth below is certain information (as of FILING DATE, 2014) with respect to the nominees for election as directors. In addition to the information presented below regarding each nominee's specific experience, qualifications, attributes and skills that led our Board of Directors to the conclusion that he should serve as a director, we also believe that all of our director nominees have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards. They each have demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as a commitment of service to Regal One and our Board of Directors. The business address of each nominee listed below is 11835 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite 1235E, Los Angeles, California 90064.

Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast for purposes of the election of directors and, therefore, will have no effect on the outcome of such election.

Each of the current director nominees has signed a letter of resignation that will be effective if the nominee is not re-elected at the Annual Meeting and the Board of Directors accepts his resignation following the meeting.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE "FOR" THE NOMINEES

NAMED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE


Director Independence


        Our Board of Directors currently consists of five positions, only three of which are occupied.  One of the current directors is "independent" and “non-interested” as defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.  Two of the directors are deemed to be dependent.  Two of the nominees for director, neither of whom has previously served in that capacity at Regal One, are also independent and non-interested.  Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the following directors are independent and non-interested:


Bernard L. Brodkorb

Robert M. Terry

Stephen E. Boynton


        Our Board of Directors considered certain portfolio investments and other transactions in which our independent directors may have had a direct or indirect interest, including the transactions described under the heading "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions", in evaluating each director's independence under the 1940 Act, and the Board of Directors determined that no such transaction would impact the ability of any director to exercise independent judgment or impair his independence.


Communications with the Board


        Stockholders or other interested persons may send written communications to the members of our Board of Directors, addressed to Board of Directors, c/o Regal One Corporation, Corporate Secretary's Office, 11835 West Olympic Blvd., Suite 1235E, Los Angeles, California 90064. All communications received in this manner will be delivered to one or more members of our Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure


        Mr. Newman currently serves as both our President and Chief Executive Officer and as the Chairman of our Board of Directors. As our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Newman is an "interested person" under Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. The Board believes that the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer is currently best situated to serve as Chairman given his history with the Company, his deep knowledge of the Company's business and his extensive experience in managing private debt and equity investments in lower middle market companies. The Company's independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside the Company and industry, while the President and Chief Executive Officer brings company-specific and industry-specific experience and expertise. The Board believes that the combined role of Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer promotes strategy development and execution, and facilitates information flow between management and the Board, which are essential to effective governance.


        One of the key responsibilities of the Board is to oversee the development of strategic direction and hold management accountable for the execution of strategy once it is developed. The Board believes the combined role of Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, together with a Lead Independent Director as described below, is in the best interest of our stockholders because it provides the appropriate balance between strategy development and independent oversight of management.


        Our Board of Directors designated Bernard L. Brodkorb as Lead Independent Director to preside at all executive sessions of non-management directors. In the Lead Independent Director's absence, the remaining non-management directors may appoint a presiding director by majority vote. The non-management directors will meet in executive session without management on a regular basis. The Lead Independent Director also has the responsibility of consulting with management on Board and committee meeting agendas, acting as a liaison between management and the non-management directors, including maintaining frequent contact with the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and facilitating collaboration and communication between the non-management directors and management. Stockholders or other interested persons may send written communications to Bernard L. Brodkorb, addressed to Lead Independent Director, c/o Regal One Corporation, Corporate Secretary's Office, 11835 West Olympic Blvd., Suite 1235E, Los Angeles, California 90064.

Board of Directors and its Committees


        Board of Directors.    Our Board of Directors acted by unanimous written consent four times during 2013. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the committees on which they served during 2013. Our Board of Directors expects each director to make a diligent effort to attend all Board and committee meetings, as well as each Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

        Committees.    Our Board of Directors currently has, and appoints the members of, standing Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each of those committees is to be comprised entirely of independent directors and has a written charter approved by our Board of Directors. The current members of the committees are identified in the following table. With the addition of Mr. Terry and Mr. Boynton as the second and third independent directors in this shareholder vote, the committees will be fully and properly staffed.



Board Committees


Prior to this election of directors, all of the committees were comprised of the 3 current directors, Brodkorb, Currie and Newman.  Only Mr. Brodkorb is truly independent and non-interested.  After this election, the committees would be filled as follows:


                               Audit Committee                                          Brodkorb, Terry and Boynton

                               Compensation Committee                            Brodkorb, Terry and Boynton

                               Nominating and Governance Committee      Brodkorb, Terry and Boynton


        Audit Committee.    During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Audit Committee met once. The Audit Committee is responsible for selecting, engaging and discharging our independent accountants, reviewing the plans, scope and results of the audit engagement with our independent accountants, approving professional services provided by our independent accountants (as well as the compensation for those services), reviewing the independence of our independent accountants and reviewing the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for assisting our Board of Directors with its review and approval of the determination of the fair value of our debt and equity investments, and other financial investments, that are not publicly traded or for which current market values are not readily available. The current members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Newman, Brodkorb and Currie.  Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Brodkorb and Currie is an "Audit Committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. For more information on the backgrounds of these directors, see their biographical information under "Election of Directors" above.

       Compensation Committee.    During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee acted by unanimous written consent once. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation and related benefits for our executive officers including the amount of salary, bonus and stock-based compensation to be included in the compensation package for each of our executive officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee assists the Board of Directors in developing and evaluating the compensation of our non-management directors and evaluating succession planning with respect to the chief executive officer and other key executive positions. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisers, experts and others as it deems necessary to assist the committee in connection with its responsibilities. The actions of the Compensation Committee are generally reviewed and ratified by the entire Board of Directors, except the employee director does not vote with respect to his compensation. The current members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Currie, Newman and Brodkorb.


        Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.    During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met once. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for determining criteria for service on our Board of Directors, identifying, researching and recommending to the Board of Directors director nominees for election by our stockholders, selecting nominees to fill vacancies on our Board of Directors or a committee of the Board, developing and recommending to our Board of Directors any amendments to our corporate governance principles and overseeing the self-evaluation of our Board of Directors and its committees. The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Messrs. Currie, Newman and Brodkorb.


Director Nomination Process


        Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has determined that a candidate for election to our Board of Directors must satisfy certain general criteria, including, among other things:


    •

be an individual of the highest character and integrity and have an inquiring mind, vision, a willingness to ask hard questions and the ability to work professionally with others;


    •

be free of any conflict of interest that would violate any applicable law or regulation or interfere with the proper performance of the responsibilities of a director;



11





    •

be willing and able to devote sufficient time to the affairs of our company and be diligent in fulfilling the responsibilities of a member of our Board of Directors and a member of any committee thereof (including: developing and maintaining sufficient knowledge of our company and the specialty finance industry in general; reviewing and analyzing reports and other information important to responsibilities of the Board of Directors and any committee of our Board of Directors; preparing for, attending and participating in meetings of our Board of Directors and meetings of any committee of our Board of Directors; and satisfying appropriate orientation and continuing education guidelines); and


    •

have the capacity and desire to represent the balanced, best interests of our stockholders as a whole and not primarily a special interest group or constituency.


        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to identify potential director candidates who will strengthen the Board of Directors and will contribute to the overall mix of general criteria identified above. In addition to the general criteria, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers specific criteria, such as particular skills, experiences (whether in business or in other areas such as public service, academia or scientific communities), areas of expertise, specific backgrounds, and other characteristics, that should be represented on the Board of Directors to enhance its effectiveness and the effectiveness of its committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believe that it is essential that the Board members represent diverse experience and viewpoints and a diverse mix of the specific criteria above. The process of identifying potential director candidates includes establishing procedures for soliciting and reviewing potential nominees from directors and for advising those who suggest nominees of the outcome of such review. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also has the authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify director candidates.


        Any stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as one of our directors at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder complies with the notice, information and consent provisions contained in our by-laws and any other applicable law, rule or regulation regarding director nominations. When submitting a nomination to our company for consideration, a stockholder must provide certain information that would be required under applicable SEC rules, including the following minimum information for each director nominee: full name, age and address; number of any shares of our stock beneficially owned by the nominee, if any; the date such shares were acquired and the investment intent of such acquisition; whether such stockholder believes the nominee is an "interested person" of our company, as defined in 1940 Act; and all other information required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest or is otherwise required, including the nominee's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected. See "Stockholders' Proposals" in this proxy statement and our by-laws for other requirements of stockholder proposals.



12





        The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates identified through the processes described above, and will evaluate each of them, including incumbents, based on the same criteria. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also takes into account the contributions of incumbent directors as Board members and the benefits to us arising from their experience on our Board of Directors. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates identified by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may determine not to recommend those candidates to our Board of Directors, and our Board of Directors may determine not to nominate any candidates recommended by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. None of the director nominees named in this proxy statement were nominated by stockholders.


Board's Role in the Oversight of Risk Management


        Our Board of Directors as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant Board Committees that report on their deliberations to the full Board. The oversight responsibility of the Board and its Committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the Board about the identification, assessment and management of critical risks and management's risk mitigation strategies. Areas of focus include competitive, economic, operational, financial (accounting, credit, liquidity and tax), legal, regulatory, compliance and other risks. The Board and its Committees oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus, as summarized below. Committees meet in executive session with key management personnel regularly and with representatives of outside advisors as necessary.


Board/Committee                                                               Primary Areas of Risk Oversight



Full Board                            Strategic, financial and execution risks and exposures associated with the annual operating plan and five-year strategic plan; major litigation and regulatory exposures and other current matters that may present material risk to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation; material acquisitions and divestitures.


Audit Committee                   Risks and exposures associated with financial matters, particularly investment valuation, financial reporting and disclosure, tax, accounting, oversight of independent accountants, internal control over financial reporting, financial policies and credit and liquidity matters.

No director holds any options, any rights to deferred compensation, or any other contingent benefit, other than common or preferred shares of the company. The Compensation Committee, once elected, may consider payments to independent directors.

EXECUTIVE OFFICERS


        Our executive officers serve at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The following persons serve as our executive officers or significant employees in the following capacities (information as of November 10, 2014):


Name                                  Age              Position(s) Held



CHARLES J. NEWMAN     69                  Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive    Officer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer



        For more information on Mr. Newman, Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, see his biographical information under "Election of Directors" above.


COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


        The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides information relating to the 2013 compensation of Regal One's Named Executive Officers for 2013, who were:


    •

CHARLES J. NEWMAN, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.



14





Compensation Philosophy and Objectives


        The Regal One compensation system was developed by the Compensation Committee and approved by all independent directors. The system is designed to attract and retain key executives, motivate them to achieve the Company's business objectives and reward them for performance while aligning management's interests with those of the Company's stockholders. The structure of Regal One's incentive compensation programs is formulated to encourage and reward the following, among other things:


    •

achievement of income and capital gains to sustain and grow the Company's dividend payments;


    •

maintenance of liquidity and capital flexibility to accomplish the Company's business objectives, including the preservation of investor capital;


    •

attainment of superior risk-adjusted returns on the Company's investment portfolio; and


    •

professional development and growth of individual executives, the management team and other employees.


        The Compensation Committee has the primary authority to establish compensation for the key employees and administers all executive compensation arrangements and policies. Regal One's Chief Executive Officer assists the Committee by providing recommendations regarding the compensation of key employees, excluding himself. The Committee exercises its discretion by modifying or accepting these recommendations. The Chief Executive Officer may attend a portion of the Committee meetings. However, the Committee usually meets in executive session without the Chief Executive Officer or other members of management when discussing compensation matters and on other occasions as determined by the Committee.


        The Compensation Committee takes into account competitive market practices with respect to the salaries and total direct compensation of the key employees. Members of the Committee consider market practices by reviewing public and non-public information for executives at comparable companies and funds. The Committee also has the authority to utilize compensation consultants to better understand competitive pay practices and has retained such expertise in the past.


Independent Compensation Consultant


The Compensation Committee has determined that there is no need, at present, for independent compensation consultants, as the compensation being paid is non-existent.



15





Assessment of Market Data


In assessing the competitiveness of executive compensation levels, the Compensation Committee analyzes market data of certain companies, including internally managed business development companies, or BDCs, private equity firms and other asset management and financial services companies. This analysis focuses on key elements of compensation practices in general, and more specifically, the compensation practices at companies and funds reasonably comparable in asset size, typical investment size and type, market capitalization and general business scope as compared to the Company.


        As regards to other internally managed BDCs like Regal One, the Compensation Committee considers the compensation practices and policies pertaining to executive officers as detailed in their company's respective proxies, research analysts' reports and other publicly available information. However, there are relatively few internally managed BDCs and none of them is directly comparable to the Company in regards to business strategies, assets under management, typical investment size and type and market capitalization. Moreover, regarding the compensation and retention of executive talent, the Company also competes with private equity funds, mezzanine debt funds, hedge funds and other types of specialized investment funds. Since these are generally private companies that are not required to publicly disclose their executive compensation practices and policies, the Committee relies on third party compensation surveys as well as other available information to compare compensation practices and policies.


        Items taken into account include, but are not necessarily limited to, base compensation, bonus compensation, stock option awards, restricted stock awards, carried interest and other compensation. In addition to actual levels of cash and equity related compensation, the Compensation Committee also considers other approaches comparable companies are taking with regard to overall executive compensation practices. Such items include, but are not necessarily limited to, the use of employment agreements for certain employees, the mix of cash and equity compensation, the use of third party compensation consultants and certain corporate and executive performance measures that are established to achieve longer term total return for stockholders. Finally, in addition to analyzing comparable companies and funds, the Committee also evaluates the relative cost structure of the Company as compared to the entire BDC sector, including internally and externally managed BDCs as well as other private funds.




16





Assessment of Company Performance


        The Compensation Committee believes that sustainable financial performance coupled with reasonable, long-term stockholders' returns as well as proportional employee compensation are essential components for Regal One's long-term business success. Regal One typically makes one to three year investments in its portfolio companies. The Company's business plan involves taking on investment risks over a range of time periods. Accordingly, much emphasis is focused on maintaining the stability of net asset values as well as the continuity of earnings to pass through to stockholders in the form of recurring dividends. The quality of the earnings supporting the dividends as well as the maintenance and growth of dividends are key metrics in the Committee's assessment of financial performance.


        Regal One's strategy is to generate current income from debt investments and to realize capital gains from equity-related investments. This income supports the payment of dividends to stockholders. The recurring payment of dividends requires a methodical investment acquisition approach and active monitoring and management of the investment portfolio over time. The Committee believes that stability with regard to the management team is important in achieving successful implementation of the Company's strategy. Further, the Committee, in establishing and assessing executive salary and performance incentives, is relatively more focused on Regal One results rather than the performance of other comparable companies or industry comparisons.



Executive Compensation Components


For 2013, the components of Regal One's direct compensation program for its key employees included base salary, annual cash bonuses and any other benefits.


The Compensation Committee designs each direct compensation package to appropriately reward the employee for his contribution to the Company. The judgment and experience of the Committee are weighed with individual and Company performance metrics and consultation with the Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to himself) to determine the appropriate mix of compensation for each individual. Cash compensation consisting of base salary and discretionary bonuses tied to achievement of individual performance goals that are reviewed and approved by the Committee, as well as corporate objectives, are intended to motivate employees to remain with the Company and work to achieve expected business objectives.


There have been no payments of base salary, bonuses, awards of options, grants of restricted stock or any other compensation to any employees of Regal One during the preceding five-year period.  The Company provides no other material benefits, perquisites or retirement benefits to the employee.




17





Potential Payments Upon Change in Control


None.



Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation


        At our 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our stockholders provided an advisory vote with 57% of the votes cast approving our compensation philosophy, policies and procedures and the 2012 fiscal year compensation of our CEO (the "Advisory Vote").   Subsequently, the Compensation Committee considered the results of the Advisory Vote in determining compensation policies and decisions of the Company. The Advisory Vote affected the Company's executive compensation decisions and policies by reaffirming the Company's compensation philosophies, and the Compensation Committee will continue to use these philosophies and past practice in determining future compensation decisions.



2013 Compensation Determination


        The Compensation Committee analyzed the competitiveness of the components of compensation described above on both an individual and aggregate basis. The Committee believes that the total compensation paid to the CEO for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, is consistent with the overall objectives of Regal One's executive compensation program.

Risk Management and Compensation Policies and Practices


        We believe that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that the mix and design of the elements of executive compensation do not encourage management to assume excessive risks. Furthermore, as described in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation decisions include subjective considerations, which restrain the influence of formulae or objective factors on excessive risk taking.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT


The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to review Regal One's financial matters.  The Audit Committee is responsible for the selection, engagement, compensation, retention and oversight of Regal One's independent registered public accounting firm. We are also responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors that Regal One's audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year.


In making our recommendation that Regal One's financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we have taken the following steps:


    •        We discussed with Boulay PLLP, Regal One's independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2013, those matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, including information regarding the scope and results of the audit. These communications and discussions are intended to assist us in overseeing the financial reporting and disclosure process.


    •

We conducted periodic executive sessions with Boulay PLLP, with no members of Regal One's management present during those discussions. Boulay PLLP did not identify any material audit issues, questions or discrepancies, other than those previously discussed with management, which were resolved to the satisfaction of all parties.



22





    •

We received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from Boulay PLLP required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Boulay PLLP's communications with us concerning independence, and we discussed with Boulay PLLP its independence from Regal One. We also considered whether the provision of non-audit services to Regal One is compatible with Boulay PLLP's independence.


  •

We determined that there were no former Boulay PLLP employees, who previously participated in the Regal One audit, engaged in a financial reporting oversight role at Regal One.


   •

We reviewed, and discussed with Regal One's management and Boulay PLLP, Regal One's audited consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013, and consolidated statements of income, changes in net assets and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2013.


        Based on the reviews and actions described above, we recommended to the Board of Directors that Regal One's audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR YEAR

(ITEM 2)


        Our Board of Directors has ratified the decision of the Audit Committee to appoint Boulay PLLP to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2014. No determination has been made as to what action the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors would take if our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee retains discretion to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Audit Committee concludes such a change would be in the best interests of Regal One. We expect that representatives of Boulay PLLP will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions.



23





      For the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Regal One incurred the following fees for services provided by Boulay PLLP, including expenses:

Total Fees                                                   $19,450.00                 $16,296.00


        Audit Fees.    Audit fees include fees for services that normally would be provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and that generally only the independent accountant can provide. In addition to fees for the audit of our annual financial statements, the audit of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and the review of our quarterly financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, this category contains fees for comfort letters, statutory audits, consents, and assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC.


        Audit Related Fees.    Audit related fees are assurance related services that traditionally are performed by the independent accountant, such as attest services that are not required by statute or regulation.


        Tax Fees.    Tax fees include corporate and subsidiary compliance and consulting.


        All Other Fees.    Fees for other services would include fees for products and services other than the services reported above.


        It is the policy of our Audit Committee to preapprove all audit, review or attest engagements and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, subject to, and in compliance with, the de minimis exception for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Our Audit Committee did not rely on the de minimis exception for any of the fees disclosed above.


        The proxy holders will vote all proxies received for approval of this proposal unless instructed otherwise. The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required to ratify the appointment of Boulay PLLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2014. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF BOULAY PLLP AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2014


ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

(ITEM 3)


        Our Board of Directors recognizes that executive compensation is an important matter for our stockholders. As described in detail in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee is tasked with the implementation of our executive compensation philosophy, and the core of that philosophy has been and continues to be to pay our executives based on our performance. In particular, the Compensation Committee strives to attract, retain and motivate exceptional executives, to reward past performance and provide incentives for future performance, and to align executives' long-term interests with the interests of our stockholders. To do so, the Compensation Committee uses a combination of short- and long-term incentive compensation to reward near-term excellent performance and to encourage executives' commitment to our long-range, strategic business goals. It is always the intention of the Compensation Committee that our executive officers be compensated competitively and consistently with our strategy, sound corporate governance principles, and stockholder interests and concerns.


        As described above, we believe our compensation program is effective, appropriate and strongly aligned with the long-term interests of our stockholders and that the total compensation package provided to our officers is reasonable and not excessive. As you consider this proposal, we urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement for additional details on executive compensation, including the more detailed information about our compensation philosophy and objectives and the past compensation of our officers, and to review the tabular disclosures regarding compensation together with the accompanying narrative disclosures in the "Compensation of Executive Officers" section of this proxy statement.


        This non-binding advisory "Say on Pay" vote gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our executives and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. We welcome the opportunity to give our stockholders an opportunity to provide us with such a vote on executive compensation at the Annual Meeting.




25





        As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, will not overrule any decisions made by our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee, or require our Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee to take any specific action. Although the vote is non-binding, our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders, and will carefully consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our executives. In particular, to the extent there is any significant vote against our executive compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, we will consider our stockholders' concerns, and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.


Text of the Resolution to be Adopted


        We are asking stockholders to vote "For" the following advisory resolution:


"RESOLVED, that the stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation philosophy, policies and procedures and the compensation of the executives as disclosed in the Proxy Statement for Regal One Corporation's 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC")."


Required Vote


        The approval of this advisory resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote on this item.


OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL OF

THIS ADVISORY RESOLUTION.

 For the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, Bernard Brodkorb and his CPA firm was paid for accounting, bookkeeping and tax related fees, the sums of $56,400 and $58,650, respectively for the years under review.


Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Parties


        In the ordinary course of business, we may enter into transactions with portfolio companies that may be considered related party transactions. In order to ensure that we do not engage in any prohibited transactions with any persons affiliated with us, we have implemented certain policies and procedures whereby our executive officers screen each of our transactions for any possible affiliations, close or remote, between the proposed portfolio investment, us, companies controlled by us and our employees and directors. We will not enter into any agreements unless and until we are satisfied that no affiliations prohibited by the 1940 Act exist or, if such affiliations exist, we have taken appropriate actions to seek board review and approval or exemptive relief for such transaction. Our Board of Directors reviews these procedures on an annual basis.


       In addition, our code of business conduct and ethics, which is applicable to all of our employees, officers and directors, requires that all employees, officers and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual's personal interests and our interests. Our code of business conduct and ethics is available at http://regal1.com under "Governance" in the "Investor Relations" section of our website.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE


        Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own 10% or more of our voting stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our equity securities with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Directors, executive officers and 10% or more holders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of those forms furnished to us, or written representations that no such forms were required, we believe that our directors, executive officers and 10% or more beneficial owners complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during the year ended December 31, 2013.



STOCKHOLDERS' PROPOSALS


        Any stockholder who wishes to have a qualified proposal considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2015 Annual Meeting must send notice of the proposal to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office no later than April 26, 2015. If you make such a proposal, you must provide your name, address, the number of shares of common stock you hold of record or beneficially, the date or dates on which such common stock was acquired and documentary support for any claim of beneficial ownership.


        In addition, any stockholder who intends to submit a proposal for consideration at our 2015 Annual Meeting, whether or not for inclusion in our proxy materials, or who intends to submit nominees for election as directors at the meeting must notify our Corporate Secretary. Under our by-laws, such notice must (1) be received at our executive offices no earlier than September 27, 2014 or later than November 26, 2014 and (2) satisfy specified requirements.


  

By Order of the Board of Directors,
