AMENDMENT No. 1 TO UNICO AMERICAN CORPORATION

 

PROXY STATEMENT

 

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

 

To Be Held Thursday, May 25, 2017

 

May 24, 2017

 

This filing amends and supplements the definitive proxy statement of Unico American Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 17, 2017, (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on May 25, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific time.

 

This Amendment does not change the proposals to be acted on at the Annual Meeting, or the recommendations of the Board of Directors of the Company in relation thereto, which are described in the Proxy Statement.

 

The sole purpose of this Amendment is to correct an inadvertent overstatement in the Proxy Statement of the annual compensation paid to Cary L. Cheldin during the 2016 fiscal year. Thus, the information for Mr. Cheldin in the Summary Compensation Table under the heading “Summary of Executive Compensation” in the Proxy Statement is amended and restated to correct the amounts in the Salary and the Total columns for 2016 as follows (footnotes 1 and 2 in the Proxy Statement were not affected by such amendment and restatement):

 

Name and Principal Position		Year				Salary				Bonus				All Other Compensation (1)				Total
						($)				($)				($)				($)
Cary L. Cheldin (2)			2016				315,000				—				45,430				360,430
President and Chief Executive Officer

 

 

Important Information
