(d) Effective December 1, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Legacy Education Alliance, Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating Committee, appointed Peter W. Harper to the Board.

Mr. Harper, age 54, currently serves as a Co-President and Chief Financial Officer of Twin-Star International and has over thirty years of financial and senior management experience with both private and public companies.

The Board also appointed Mr. Harper to its audit committee.

Mr. Harper will participate in the Company’s 2015 Incentive Plan described in the Company’s 2015 proxy statement, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on June 16, 2015. Mr. Harper was awarded 65,217 shares of restricted common stock on December 1, 2015. These shares vest over a two year period in equal annual installments in arrears, subject to accelerated vesting upon a change in control.
