PROPOSAL 2: TO APPROVE THE PERFORMANCE AWARD TO DAVID A. SEGAL OF:
...
EXX INC/NV/'s Stockholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve the performance award to David A. Segal, the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of EXX INC/NV/, of: (a) 250,000 shares of EXX INC/NV/'s Class B common stock; (b) options to purchase an aggregate of 1,900,000 shares of EXX INC/NV/'s Class A common stock; and (c) options to purchase an aggregate of 100,000 shares of EXX INC/NV/'s Class B common stock.This performance award was approved on April 24, 2003 by certain members of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee, i.e., Messrs.Fishman, Perlmutter and Remington, with Mr. Segal abstaining from the vote and related discussions, subject to stockholder approval.
...
The performance award will award Mr. Segal 250,000 shares of restricted Class B common stock, which stock will be subject to the terms and conditions of a bonus award agreement to be entered into by EXX INC/NV/ and Mr. Segal.Mr. Segal will be fully vested in the 250,000 shares of restricted Class B common stock as of the grant date, April 24, 2003, subject to Stockholder approval.Mr. Segal will also be entitled to vote the shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions made in respect of the Class B common stock from the date of the grant.Mr. Segal's shares can not be registered under applicable securities laws and, accordingly, transfer of the shares will be restricted.
- 1 -
The performance award will also grant Mr. Segal options which will entitle him to purchase 1,900,000 shares of Class A and 100,000 shares of Class B common stock.These options are nonqualified stock options and will be subject to the terms and conditions of an award agreement to be entered into by EXX INC/NV/ and Mr. Segal.Subject to Stockholder approval, the options granted to Mr. Segal will be fully vested and exercisable as of the grant date, April 24, 2003.Mr. Segal may exercise these options to purchase Class A shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.89 per share, and Class B shares of common stock for a price of $1.15 per share, which was the closing selling price per share on the American Stock Exchange on the grant date.These options expire on December 31, 2013.
In 1998, Mr. Segal received options to purchase 1,900,000 Class A and 100,000 Class B shares of common stock of EXX INC/NV/ in exchange for his agreement to relinquish certain contractual rights that he held under his executive employment agreement with EXX INC/NV/ dated as of October 21, 1994.Those options expired before Mr. Segal exercised such options.The members of Board of Directors and Compensation Committee named above believe that, in order to preserve Mr. Segal's financial incentive to further EXX INC/NV/'s future progress and to award Mr. Segal for his role in EXX INC/NV/'s successful acquisition of Newcor, Inc. in January 2003, which acquisition has substantially contributed to the historical and expected revenues and net income of EXX INC/NV/, it is in the best interest of EXX INC/NV/ and its Stockholders to grant Mr. Segal this performance award.
Federal Income Tax Consequences
Mr. Segal will realize ordinary income upon the grant of the Class B shares of common stock and EXX INC/NV/ will be entitled to a deduction at such time.
Mr. Segal will not realize income upon the grant of the nonqualified stock options to purchase 1,900,000 Class A and 100,000 Class B shares of common stock, and EXX INC/NV/ will not be entitled to a deduction at such time.Upon Mr. Segal's exercise of these nonqualified stock options, he will recognize the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise over the purchase price of $.89, with respect to Class A options, and $1.15, with respect to Class B options, as ordinary income as of the date of exercise.

As of April 24, 2003, except for the proposed performance award to Mr. Segal, there are no outstanding options, warrants or rights to acquire shares of EXX INC/NV/'s Class A or Class B common stock.
