NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS



The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Document Security Systems, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) will be held on Wednesday, August 26, 2015, at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time) at First Federal Plaza, First Floor Conference Room, 28 East Main Street, Rochester, New York 14614 for the purposes of:



1. Considering and voting upon a proposal to elect five directors to the Company’s Board of Directors to hold office until the next Annual Meeting;

2. Considering and voting upon a proposal to ratify Freed Maxick CPAs, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015;

3. To conduct an advisory vote on executive compensation; and

4. To transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment thereof.



The foregoing items of business are more fully described in the Proxy Statement accompanying this notice.



The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on June 30, 2015 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.



This year, we are again implementing the “Notice and Access” method approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows companies to provide proxy materials to stockholders via the Internet. The Internet will be used as our primary means of furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders. Consequently, stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send stockholders a notice with instructions for accessing the proxy materials and voting via the Internet. The notice also provides information on how stockholders may obtain paper copies of our proxy materials if they so choose. This makes the proxy distribution process more efficient and less costly.



A Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which contains specific instructions on how to access those materials via the Internet and vote online, as well as instructions on how to request paper copies, will be mailed to our stockholders on or about July 8, 2015. The Company’s Annual Report and the Proxy Statement, along with any amendments to the foregoing materials that are required to be furnished to stockholders, will be available at http://viewproxy.com/dsssecure/2015.
