Code of Ethics

Our board of directors has adopted a Policy Statement on Business Ethics and Conflicts of Interest (“Code of Ethics”) applicable to all employees, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer. A copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on the Company’s website http://content.stockpr.com/onehorizongroup/media/250c1db923f658aca6cc69dfc35c7f89.pdf

Board Leadership Structure and the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight.
 
The Board of Directors currently does not have a Chairman. Our Chief Executive Officer acts as the Chairman of the Board. The Board determined that in the best interest of the Company the most effective leadership structure at this time is not to separate the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. A combined structure provides the Company with a single leader who represents the company to our stockholders, regulators, business partners and other stakeholders, among other reasons set forth below. Should the Board conclude otherwise, the Board will separate the roles and appoint an independent Chairman.
 
 
This structure creates efficiency in the preparation of the meeting agendas and related Board materials as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer works directly with those individuals preparing the necessary Board materials and is more connected to the overall daily operations of the Company. Agendas are also prepared with the permitted input of the full Board of Directors allowing for any concerns or risks of any individual director to be discussed as deemed appropriate. The Board believes that the Company has benefited from this structure, and Mr. Collin’s continuation in the combined role of the Acting Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is in the best interest of the stockholders.
     
 
The Company believes that the combined structure is necessary and allows for efficient and effective oversight, given the Company’s relatively small size, its corporate strategy and focus.
 
The Board of Directors does not have a specific role in risk oversight of the Company. The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and employees of the Company provide the Board of Directors with information regarding the Company’s risks.
 
Board Independence

Our stock is currently trading on Nasdaq Capital Market; we are required to comply with the director independence requirements of the Nasdaq rules. The Board of Directors also consults with counsel to ensure that the Boards of Directors’ determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors, including those adopted under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the independence of Audit Committee members.  The Nasdaq listing standards define an “independent director” generally as a person, other than an officer of a company, who does not have a relationship with the company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.  Four of our directors, Mr. Carpinello, Mr. Vos, Mr. Law and Mr. Vogler are “independent” as that term is defined by Nasdaq Rule 4200(a)(15); accordingly, we satisfy the “independent director” requirements, which requires that a majority of a company’s directors be independent.
 
Stockholder Communications with Directors

OHGI stockholders who want to communicate with our Board or any individual director can write to:
 
One Horizon Group, Inc.
Weststrasse 1, Baar, Switzerland, CH6340
Attn: Board Administration

Your letter should indicate that you are an OHGI stockholder.  Depending on the subject matter, management will:
 
 
Forward the communication to the Director or Directors to whom it is addressed;
     
 
Attempt to handle the inquiry directly, for example where it is a request for information about OHGI or it is a stock-related matter; or
     
  Not forward the communication if it is primarily commercial in nature or if it relates to an improper or irrelevant topic.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who own more than 10% of any class of our securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
 
Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports furnished to us or written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten (10%) percent beneficial owners have been complied with during the year ended December 31, 2013 and through the date hereof.

PROPOSAL 2

PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE APPOINTMENT OF OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Independent Public Accountants

Chantrey Vellacott DFK LLP (“CV”) served as the independent accountant for One Horizon UK for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. CV’s report on One Horizon UK’s financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the year then ended was filed as an Exhibit to Amendment No. 1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A which was filed on February 7, 2013. CV will continue to prepare domestic statutory and tax filings for One Horizon UK, which is now a subsidiary of the Company. On November 30, 2012, ICE Corp. completed the share exchange with One Horizon UK, which for U.S. GAAP purposes was considered to be the accounting acquirer. As such, the financial information of the Company will be that of One Horizon UK, with operations of ICE Corp. only being included from the date of the share exchange. Prior to the acquisition, OHGP was not a U.S. SEC registrant. In addition, CV is not an independent registered public accounting firm in the U.S.. As a result of the consummation of the share exchange on November 30, 2012 and the retention of Peterson Sullivan LLP to act as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm (see below), CV was dismissed by the Company’s Board of Directors as the independent certifying accountant for U.S. SEC filing purposes.
 
The report of CV regarding the financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the year ended June 30, 2012, and during the period from June 30, 2012 to November 30, 2012, the date of dismissal, (i) there were no disagreements with CV on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of CV would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
Effective February 13, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Peterson Sullivan LLP (“PS”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2012. PS was the independent registered public accounting firm for ICE Corp.
 
During each of One Horizon UK’s two most recent fiscal years and through the interim periods preceding the engagement of PS, One Horizon UK (a) has not engaged PS as either the principal accountant to audit One Horizon UK’s financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of One Horizon UK and on whom the principal accountant is expected to express reliance in its report; and (b) has not consulted with PS regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on One Horizon UK’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to One Horizon UK by PS concluding there was an important factor to be considered by One Horizon UK in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
Audit Fees

Following the Share Exchange, the Company authorized audits by Peterson Sullivan, the Company’s independent PCAOB registered accountants, of the Company’s financial statements, on a carve-out basis, for the Reported Periods.  These audits were performed at once by Peterson Sullivan LLP in 2013. The aggregate fees billed for the years ended December 31, 2013 for the audits of our financial statements and reviews of our interim financial statements included in our annual and quarterly reports performed by Peterson Sullivan LLP were $99,200.

Audit Related Fees.  

The aggregate fees billed for the years ended December 31, 2013 that are not reported under Audit Fees but reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statement by Peterson Sullivan LLP were $107,800.
 
Tax Fees

There were no tax fees billed or accrued during the Reported Periods.  Tax fees typically consist of fees billed for professional services for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.

All Other Fees

Other than the fees reported above, there were no other fees billed or accrued during the Reported Periods.

Preapproval Policies and Procedures

Before the independent registered accountants are engaged to render audit services or nonaudit activities, the engagement is approved by our board of directors acting as the audit committee.

What vote is required to approve this proposal?
 
Stockholder ratification of the appointment of our independent auditors is not required by the Company’s bylaws or otherwise. However, we are submitting this proposal to the stockholders as a matter of good corporate practice. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal. If the appointment of PS is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent audit firm at any time during the year if it is determined that such change would be in best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF PETERSON SULLIVAN LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR OF 2014.

PROPOSAL 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

We are asking stockholders to approve an advisory resolution on the Company's 2013 executive compensation as reported in this proxy statement.

We urge stockholders to read the “Executive Compensation” section in this proxy statement, including the Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative included therein, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers.

In accordance with recently adopted Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the stockholders of One Horizon Group., Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the 2013 compensation of the Company's named executive officers disclosed in the Executive Compensation section of the Company’s proxy statement.”

This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” resolution, is non-binding on the Board of Directors. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation program.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE ADVISORY RESOLUTION ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

PROPOSAL 4

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to vote on whether future advisory votes on executive compensation of the nature reflected in Proposal No. 3 should occur every year, every two years or every three years.

After careful consideration, the Board of Directors has determined that holding an advisory vote on executive compensation every three years is the most appropriate policy for the Company at this time and recommends that stockholders vote for future advisory votes on executive compensation to occur every three years. Voting every three years, rather than every one or two years, will provide stockholders with the opportunity to conduct thoughtful analyses of our compensation program over a period of time in relation to our long-term performance as our compensation program does not change significantly from year to year and is designed to induce performance over a multi-year period.  A triennial vote cycle will provide stockholders with a more complete view of the amount and mix of components of the compensation paid to our named executive officers. A triennial vote will also provide us with sufficient time to evaluate and respond effectively to stockholder input, engage with stockholders to understand and respond to prior voting results and implement any appropriate changes to our program. In addition, a triennial vote will provide time for any implemented changes to take effect and allow stockholders sufficient time to evaluate the effectiveness of our compensation program and any changes made to the program.

This advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation is non-binding on the Board of Directors. Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain. Stockholders are not voting to approve or disapprove the Board’s recommendation. Although non-binding, the Board and the Compensation Committee will carefully review the voting results. Notwithstanding the Board’s recommendation and the outcome of the stockholder vote, the Board may in the future decide to conduct advisory votes on a more frequent basis and may vary its practice based on factors such as discussions with stockholders and the adoption of material changes to compensation programs.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE TO CONDUCT FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION EVERY THREE YEARS.
