Dear Valued Shareholder:

Today I am pleased to report that NetSol is stronger than at any point in our history, a direct result of our decision to invest in an engine of growth, with the introduction of our next-generation platform.

In fiscal 2015, we added capacity with additional technology professionals and new infrastructure, which impacted short-term results, but positioned the company to achieve long-term growth and improved profitability.

Results from this investment are now beginning to play out in fiscal 2016. We are signing new implementations for NFS Ascent™, our next-generation financing and leasing solution, including an $8 million implementation in the U.K., and the largest contract in our history with a 12-country NFS Ascent agreement valued at more than $100 million.

The 12-country order provides a top-tier reference for NFS Ascent in each country, and represents a strong stamp of approval for our platform and team throughout the world. Importantly, our capacity investment allowed us to execute on this historic agreement immediately, and without bogging down resources to serve a growing pipeline of potential new business for our portfolio of solutions.

As we emerge from the transition period and execute against agreements already signed, we are confident in our ability to generate long-term sustainable shareholder value.

We encourage you to review the proxy and submit your vote by mail or in person at the 2015 NetSol Technologies, Inc. annual meeting, which will be held at our office located at 24025 Park Sorrento, Suite 410, Calabasas, CA 91302, on May 17, 2016, starting at 10:00 a.m. We all have a vested stake in the success of the company and it is important that your shares be represented and voted.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
Najeeb Ghauri
Chairman and CEO
NetSol Technologies, Inc.

ANNUAL MEETING BUSINESS

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

NetSol’s articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that directors are elected to serve a one-year term of office, expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders. Our articles of incorporation establish up to nine directors, with the exact number to be fixed from time to time by resolution of the board of directors. The Company has determined reducing the size of the board at this time is in the best interests of the Company. By reducing the cost of maintaining a larger board, yet continuing to have a majority of Independent Board members, the Board can continue to efficiently and effectively oversee the management.

Directors are elected by a majority of votes, which means that the nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. Shareholders are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors. In determining the votes cast for the election of a director, abstentions and broker non-votes are excluded. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the offer of resignation and recommends to the board whether to accept it. The policy requires the board to act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days following the shareholder meeting. Board action on the matter requires the approval of a majority of the independent directors.

The board of directors has nominated the following directors for election to one-year terms that will expire at earlier of their removal or replacement or at the 2016 annual meeting:

Najeeb Ghauri

Naeem Ghauri

Shahid J. Burki

Eugen Beckert

Mark Caton

The individuals appointed as proxies intend to vote “FOR” the election of the nominees listed above. If any nominee is not available for election, the individuals named in the proxy intend to vote for such substitute nominee as the board of directors may designate. Each nominee has agreed to serve on the board and we have no reason to believe any nominee will be unavailable.

For the biography of each nominee, please refer to page 16 of this Proxy and for Director Compensation please refer to page 14.

Board Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF KABANI & COMPANY, INC.

AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2016

The Audit and Compliance Committee has selected the firm of Kabani & Company, Inc. (“Kabani”), the Company’s independent auditors for the year ended June 30, 2015, to act in such capacity for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016, and recommends that shareholders vote in favor of ratification of such appointment. There are no affiliations between the Company and Kabani, its partners, associates or employees, other than those which pertain to the engagement of Kabani in the previous year (i) as independent auditors for the Company and (ii) for certain consulting services. Kabani has served as the Company’s independent auditor since 2002.

Audit Fees

Kabani & Company, Inc. audited the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014. The aggregate fees billed by Kabani for the annual audit and review of financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K, services related to providing an opinion in connection with our public offering of shares of common stock and/or services that are normally provided by Kabani that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the year ended June 30, 2015 was $250,000 and for the year ended June 30, 2014 was $255,000.

Tax Fees

Tax fees for fiscal year 2015 were $15,000 and consisted of the preparation of the Company’s federal and state tax returns for the fiscal years 2014. Tax fees for fiscal year 2014 were $15,000 and consisted of the preparation of the Company’s federal and state tax returns for the fiscal year 2013.

All Other Fees

During the fiscal year 2015 and 2014 there were no other fees paid to Kabani.

Pre-Approval Procedures

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors are responsible for the engagement of the independent auditors and for approving, in advance, all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors. The Audit Committee maintains a policy for the engagement of the independent auditors that is intended to maintain the independent auditor’s independence from NetSol. In adopting the policy, the Audit Committee considered the various services that the independent auditors have historically performed or may be needed to perform in the future. The policy, which is to be reviewed and re-adopted at least annually by the Audit Committee:

Any approval required under the policy must be given by the Audit Committee, by the Chairman of the Committee in office at the time, or by any other Committee member to whom the Committee has delegated that authority. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to approve services performed by the independent auditors to any member of management.

The standard applied by the Audit Committee in determining whether to grant approval of an engagement of the independent auditors is whether the services to be performed, the compensation to be paid therefore and other related factors are consistent with the independent auditors’ independence under guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable professional standards. Relevant considerations include, but are not limited to, whether the work product is likely to be subject to, or implicated in, audit procedures during the audit of NetSol’s financial statements; whether the independent auditors would be functioning in the role of management or in an advocacy role; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would enhance NetSol’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality; whether performance of the service by the independent auditors would increase efficiency because of their familiarity with NetSol’s business, personnel, culture, systems, risk profile and other factors; and whether the amount of fees involved, or the proportion of the total fees payable to the independent auditors in the period that is for tax and other non-audit services, would tend to reduce the independent auditors’ ability to exercise independent judgment in performing the audit.

Shareholder approval of the selection of Kabani as our independent auditors is not required by law, by our bylaws or otherwise. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit and Compliance Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work and the independent auditors. The Committee will consider the results of the shareholder vote on this proposal and, in the event of a negative vote, will reconsider its selection of Kabani. However, the Audit and Compliance Committee is not bound by the shareholder vote.

Even if Kabani’s appointment is ratified by the shareholders, the Audit and Compliance Committee may, in its discretion, appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. A representative of Kabani is expected to be available via telephonic conference in the event of any appropriate questions arise at the meeting.

Board Recommendation

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KABANI & COMPANY, INC. AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS FOR FISCAL 2016.

The activities of the committee are in no way designed to supersede or alter those traditional responsibilities. The committee’s role does not provide any special assurances with regard to NetSol’s financial statements, nor does it involve a professional evaluation of the quality of the audits performed by the independent registered public accounting firm.

The committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent accounting firm, as appropriate, the audited financial statements.

The committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, Kabani & Company, the required communications specified by auditing standards together with guidelines established by the SEC and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

INFORMATION ABOUT DIRECTOR NOMINEES

The board is currently comprised of seven members. Of the seven, five members are standing for re-election. The Company has determined reducing the size of the board at this time is in the best interests of the Company. By reducing the cost of maintain a larger board, yet continuing to have a majority of Independent Board members, the Board can continue to efficiently and effectively oversee the management.

Only votes cast for a nominee will be counted, except that the accompanying proxy will be voted for all nominees in the absence of instruction to the contrary. Abstentions, broker non-votes and instructions on the accompanying proxy to withhold authority to vote for one or more nominees will result in the respective nominees receiving fewer votes. However, the number of votes otherwise received by the nominee will not be reduced by such action.

All nominees have consented to serve if elected, but if any becomes unable to serve, the persons named as proxies may exercise their discretion to vote for a substitute nominee.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis will describe the Compensation Committee’s compensation objectives and policies for our Named Executive Officers, including executive pay decisions and processes and all elements of NetSol Technologies’ executive compensation program.

NetSol Technologies’ Named Executive Officers, a group comprised of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and Corporate Secretary/General Counsel for fiscal year 2015, are the following three individuals:

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the shareholders by rewarding performance at or above established goals, with the ultimate objective of increasing stockholder value. The philosophy of the Compensation Committee is to evaluate both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain superior employees in key positions and that compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to similarly situated executives of our peer companies. To that end, the Compensation Committee believes executive compensation packages should include both cash and equity-based compensation that reward performance as measured against established goals.

Setting Executive Compensation

Management develops our compensation plans by utilizing publicly available compensation data in the media services and technology industries. We believe that the practices of these groups of companies provide us with appropriate compensation benchmarks, because these groups of companies are in similar businesses and tend to compete with us for executives and other employees. For benchmarking executive compensation, we typically review the compensation data we have collected from these groups of companies, as well as a subset of the data from those companies that have a similar number of employees as the Company. For purposes of determining executive compensation, we have not engaged consultants to help us analyze this data or to compare our compensation programs with the practices of the companies represented in the compensation data we review.

Based on management’s analyses and recommendations, the Compensation Committee has approved a pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, which is intended to establish base salaries and total executive compensation (taking into consideration the executive’s experience and abilities) that are competitive with those companies with a similar number of employees represented in the compensation data we review.

We work within the framework of this pay-for-performance compensation philosophy to determine each component of an executive’s initial compensation package based on numerous factors, including:

● The individual’s particular background, track record and circumstances, including training and prior relevant work experience.

● The individual’s role with us and the compensation paid to similar persons in the companies represented in the compensation data that we review.

● The demand for individuals with the individual’s specific expertise and experience.

● Performance goals and other expectations for the position.

● Uniqueness of industry skills.

The terms of each executive officer’s compensation are derived from employment agreements negotiated between the Company and the executive. Each executive’s employment agreement is generally negotiated to cover a one to three-year period, and prescribes the base salary and other annual payments, if any, to the executive. Employment agreements for all executive officers are approved by the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee. Employment agreements for other executives are approved by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

2015 Executive Compensation Components

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, the principal components of compensation that our named executive officers were eligible to receive were:

The Company’s executive compensation program is intended to promote and maintain stability within the executive team. The Company’s goal for its executive compensation program is to attract, motivate and retain a talented, entrepreneurial, ethical and creative team of executives who will provide leadership for the Company’s success in dynamic and competitive markets.

Base Salary

An executive’s base salary is evaluated together with components of the executive’s other compensation to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is consistent with our overall compensation philosophy. Base salaries are adjusted annually by the Compensation Committee.

The base salaries were established in arms-length negotiations between the executive and the Company, taking into account their extensive experience, knowledge of the industry, track record, and achievements on behalf of the Company. The Company expects each named executive officer to contribute to the Company’s overall success as a member of the executive team rather than focus solely on specific objectives within the officer’s area of responsibility.

Annual Bonus

Our compensation program includes eligibility for bonuses as rewarded by the Compensation Committee. All executives are eligible for annual performance-based cash bonuses in accordance with Company policies. The compensation committee takes into consideration the executive’s performance during the previous year to determine eligibility for discretionary bonuses. Further, the compensation committee will review, if applicable, the performance criteria set forth in an executive’s previous year’s agreement and will determine if the executive has met such criteria in order to achieve the bonus. The Company’s bonus criteria at the executive management level, is typically based on a gross revenue and per share profit targets.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages long-term participation by our executives in equity-based awards. Our various Employee Stock Option Plans allow us to grant stock options to employees. We currently make initial equity awards of stock options to new executives and certain non-executive employees in connection with their employment with the Company. Annual grants of options, if any, are approved by the Compensation Committee.

Equity Incentives. Executives, certain non-executive employees, and directors who join us may be awarded stock awards and/or stock option grants after they join the Company. These grants have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. Such awards are intended to provide the executive with incentive to build value in the organization over an extended period of time. The size of the stock option award is also reviewed in light of the executive’s track record, base salary, other compensation and other factors to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy. A review of all components of compensation is conducted when determining equity awards to ensure that total compensation conforms to our overall philosophy and objectives.

Equity incentives provided to executives are determined by the Fair Market Value of our common stock on the grant date were provided to the executives as an adjustment of their overall compensation while taking in to account the need to continue to incentivize the executive to build value in the organization. Each executive’s stock award was based on an analysis of the Compensation Committee of an appropriate overall cash compensation for each individual taking into account their position and compensation at similarly situated companies. Each executive’s stock award was based on a desired overall compensation cash value less the base salary as approved by the Compensation Committee.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

We provide named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to NetSol’s executive officers.

We maintain benefits and perquisites that are offered to all employees, including health and dental insurance. Benefits and perquisites may vary in different country locations and are consistent with local practices and regulations.

Termination Based Compensation

Upon termination of employment, all executive officers with a written employment agreement are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. In determining whether to approve, and as part of the process of setting the terms of, such severance arrangements, the Compensation Committee recognizes that executives and officers often face challenges securing new employment following termination. Further, the Committee recognizes that many of the named executives and officers have participated in the Company since its founding and that this participation has not resulted in a return on their investments. Termination and Change in Control Payments considered both the risk and the dedication of these executives’ service to the Company.

Our Chief Executive Officer has an employment agreement that provides, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the fourth anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the fourth anniversary of the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.

Our Chief Financial Officer has an employment agreement that provides, if his employment is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, he is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the first anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the first anniversary from the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.

The Secretary of the Company has an employment agreement that provides, if she is terminated without cause or if the executive terminates the agreement with Good Reason, she is entitled to (a) all remaining salary to the end of the date of termination, plus salary from the end of the employment term through the end of the second anniversary of the date of termination, and (b) the continuation by the Company of medical and dental insurance coverage for her and her family until the end of the employment term and through the end of the second anniversary of the date of termination. Provided, however, if such benefits cannot be continued for this extended period, the Executive shall receive cash (including a tax-equivalency payment for Federal, state and local income and payroll taxes assuming Executive is in the maximum tax bracket for all such purposes) where such benefits may not be continued. These agreements further provide for vesting of all options and restrictive stock grants, if any.

Tax and Accounting Implications

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

As part of its role, the Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that we may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. We believe that compensation paid under the management incentive plans is generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Commencing on July 1, 2006, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including awards under our Employee Stock Option Plans, in accordance with the of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation.

The Company must receive stockholder proposals prepared in accordance with the proxy rules by December 17, 2016.

A copy of NetSol’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015, which has been filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act will be furnished to shareholders together with this Proxy Statement. Copies of these reports are available without charge to each shareholder, upon written request to the Investor Relations department at our principal offices at 24025 Park Sorrento, Suite 410 Calabasas, CA 91302 or from the Internet on SEC’s Edgar database at www.sec.gov.

Incorporation by Reference

We incorporate the Annual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 and the Quarterly Report for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, both of which have been filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act into this proxy statement by this reference. As stated above, the annual report on form 10-K is being delivered to shareholders together with this Proxy Statement.

Legal Proceedings

As previously disclosed, on July 25, 2014, purported class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California against the Company and certain of its current or former officers and/or directors, which have been consolidated under the caption Rand-Heart of New York, Inc. v. NetSol Technologies, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:14-cv-05787 PA (SHx). Plaintiffs subsequently filed consolidated amended complaints, which asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the Company’s motions, the Court now has dismissed all of plaintiffs’ claims except those related to the scope of the Company’s release of its next generation product, NFS Ascent™, during the narrow proposed class period of October 24, 2013 to November 8, 2013. The Company has filed an answer and affirmative defenses denying the remaining claims. On February 2, 2016, the parties executed a Stipulation of Settlement to fully resolve the consolidated class action lawsuit, and filed a motion seeking the Federal Court’s preliminary approval of the settlement, which is scheduled for hearing on March 28, 2016. The Company expects the cost of settlement to be fully covered by its insurers. The Company believes that plaintiffs’ allegations are meritless and, in the event that the Court does not approve the parties’ settlement, it intends to vigorously defend all claims asserted. If the settlement is not approved and the litigation continues, at this stage of the litigation the Company is unable to form a professional judgment that an unfavorable outcome is either probable or remote, and it is not possible to assess whether or not the outcome of these proceedings will or will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

On October 27, 2015, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the California state court entitled McArthur v Ghauri, et al., Case No. BC599020 (Los Angeles, Cty.), naming current and former members of the Company’s board of directors as defendants. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties based on the same alleged factual premise as the pending federal securities class action described above. The Company is named as a nominal defendant only and no damages are sought from it. In addition, on December 30, 2015, a virtually identical shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in Nevada state court, Paulovits v. Ghauri, et al., Case No. CV15-02470 (Washoe Cty.), which alleges the same claims as the earlier-filed California case. The parties in the California lawsuit recently reached an agreement-in-principle providing for the settlement of that case. The proposed settlement is on the terms and conditions set forth in a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) dated March 16, 2016. Pursuant to the MOU, the parties shall in good faith attempt to present to this Court the appropriate motion(s) for approval of the settlement within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the signing of the MOU. Such settlement is in the process of being documented and is subject to the Court’s approval.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors of the Company does not intend to present any business at the Annual Meeting other than the matters specifically set forth in this Proxy Statement and knows of no other business to come before the Annual Meeting. However, on all matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting by the Board or by others, the persons named as proxies in the accompanying proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

ALL SHAREHOLDERS ARE REQUESTED TO SIGN AND MAIL PROXIES, VOTE VIA TELEPHONE OR VOTE VIA THE INTERNET PROMPTLY.

Your attendance at the Annual Meeting is desired whether your holdings are large or small.
