PART III

 

ITEM 10.   DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT

 

Information relating to the directors and executive officers of Pumatech is set forth in Part I, Item 1 of Pumatech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 21, 2003, under the caption “Executive Officers and Directors of the Registrant.”

 

Additionally, Pumatech intends to offer Said Mohammadioun, current Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Synchrologic, Inc., employment as a senior executive officer of Pumatech contingent and effective upon completion of Pumatech’s proposed merger with Synchrologic. Mr. Mohammadioun will also be appointed to the Pumatech board of directors upon completion of the merger.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Pumatech’s executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of Pumatech’s common stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish Pumatech with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they filed.

 

To Pumatech’s knowledge, review of such forms furnished to Pumatech and written representations from certain reporting persons, Pumatech believes that during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, all reporting persons have complied with all filing requirements applicable to Pumatech’s executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders, except that Forms 4 covering transactions by Woodson Hobbs and Michael Clair for 5,800 and 3,974 shares, respectively, of Pumatech’s common stock, as a consequence of an administrative error, were filed late. In addition, a Form 3 filed by Clyde Foster inadvertently did not disclose his ownership of 4,000 shares of Pumatech’s common stock acquired prior to his appointment in September 2002, which form was later amended.

We have adopted the Code of Ethics for Principal Officers and Financial Professionals of Pumatech, Inc., a code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and other finance organization employees. The Code of Ethics for Principal Officers and Financial Professionals of Pumatech, Inc. is publicly available on our Website at www.pumatech.com. If we make any substantive amendments to this code of ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit waiver, from a provision of the code to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Accounting Officer, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on that Website or in a report on Form 8-K.

 

Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that Michael J. Praisner, Director, is our Audit Committee Financial Expert, as defined under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission in furtherance of Section 407. Mr. Praisner is independent of our management.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Director Compensation

 

Prior to September 30, 2003, all of Pumatech’s directors were reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in executing their responsibilities to Pumatech, as well as attending board and committee meetings. In addition, non-employee directors received a $500 fee for each board meeting that they attended in person and a fee of $2,000 for each audit committee meeting that they attended in person. Directors are also eligible to receive stock option grants under the Option Plan. In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003, Ms. Berg-Painter received an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Pumatech’s common stock with an exercise price of $0.27.

 

On September 30, 2003, Pumatech’s board of directors approved changes to the compensation paid to its directors. Under the modified board fee structure, non-employee directors receive a $1,000 fee for each board meeting or audit committee meeting that they attend in person and a $500 fee for each board meeting or audit


committee that they attend telephonically. In addition, non-employee directors will receive a $500 fee for each compensation committee meeting that they attend in person or telephonically. The chairman of the audit committee will receive an additional $500 fee for each meeting that the chairman attends, and the chairman of the compensation committee will receive an additional $250 fee for each meeting that the chairman attends. The chairman of the board will receive an additional $500 for each meeting that the chairman attends. Additionally, beginning on February 15, 2004, each non-employee director will receive annual cash compensation in the amount of $20,000, payable quarterly, provided that the director’s service was not terminated at the end of such quarter. In addition, the chairman of the board will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $15,000, payable quarterly, provided that the director’s service was not terminated at the end of such quarter, and each board committee chairman will receive additional annual cash compensation in the amount of $10,000.

The options are exercisable at $4.76 per share.

 

Additionally, on September 30, 2003, Pumatech’s board of directors approved personal compensation agreements with Ms. Berg-Painter, Mr. Clair and Mr. Praisner, filed as Exhibits 10.28, 10.26 and 10.17 to Pumatech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. The personal compensation agreements provide for the cash compensation described above and the acceleration of vesting of options to purchase common stock in the event of a change of control of the company.

 

Employment Contracts and Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

 

Pumatech entered into an employment agreement with Woodson Hobbs dated June 14, 2002, pursuant to which Mr. Hobbs was engaged as Pumatech’s President and Chief Executive Officer at an initial annual base salary of $300,000. On September 30, 2003, the compensation committee increased Mr. Hobbs’ annual base salary to $350,000, retroactively effective June 14, 2003. In addition to base compensation, Mr. Hobbs received a signing bonus of $200,000 upon execution of his employment agreement. Mr. Hobbs was also issued an immediately exercisable restricted stock option to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of Pumatech common stock at $0.59 per share. The option is fully exercisable from the time of grant, subject to Pumatech’s right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the event of Mr. Hobbs’ termination. The option shares vest as follows: 700,000 shares vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter; 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for meeting certain operating plan criteria, including revenue and net income objectives; and 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for meeting certain stock price targets. Mr. Hobbs exercised the option with respect to 525,000 shares and paid for the shares by issuing Pumatech a full recourse promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $309,750 with interest accruing at the rate of 4.75% per annum. Mr. Hobbs is entitled to receive pro-rata compensation and benefits for a three-month period if he is subject to an “Involuntary Termination” (as defined below). If Mr. Hobbs is subject to Involuntary Termination within twelve months following a “Change of Control” (as defined below), he will be entitled to receive pro-rata compensation and benefits for a six-month period. In addition, upon a Change of Control, all unvested shares of Pumatech stock owned or under options held by Mr. Hobbs will vest in full. In addition, Pumatech will increase any severance amounts payable to Mr. Hobbs to cover any excise tax he may owe if his severance payments are deemed to constitute “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with a Change of Control. On October 18, 2003, the compensation committee approved the Amendment to Attachment 1 to Employment Agreement amending the definition of “Change of Control” such that “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(a) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), excluding existing beneficial owners as of the date of this Letter, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Pumatech representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by Pumatech’s then outstanding voting securities, excluding conversion of any convertible securities issued as of the date of this Agreement;

 

(b) The composition of the Board of Directors changes during any period of 36 months that follows October 20, 2003, such that individuals who, at the beginning of the period, were members of the Board of


Directors (the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; unless at least 50% of the Continuing Directors has either (i) approved the election of the new Directors, (ii) if the election of the new Directors is voted on by stockholders, recommended that the stockholders vote for approval, or (iii) otherwise determined that such change in composition does not constitute a Change of Control, even if the Continuing Directors do not constitute a quorum of the whole Board (it being understood that this requirement shall not be capable of satisfaction unless there is at least one Continuing Director);

 

(c) The stockholders of Pumatech approve a merger or consolidation of Pumatech with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of Pumatech outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of Pumatech or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of Pumatech approve a plan of complete liquidation of Pumatech or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Pumatech of all or substantially all of Pumatech’s assets;

 

Any other provision of this notwithstanding, the term Change of Control shall not include either of the following events undertaken at the election of Pumatech:

 

(i) Any transaction, the sole purpose of which is to change the state of Pumatech’s incorporation; or

 

(ii) A transaction, the result of which is to sell all or substantially all of the assets of Pumatech to another corporation (the “surviving corporation”) provided that the surviving corporation is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of Pumatech immediately following such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Pumatech’s common stock immediately preceding such transaction.

 

Pumatech entered into an employment agreement with Clyde Foster dated September 5, 2002, pursuant to which Mr. Foster was engaged as Pumatech’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at an annual base salary of currently $240,000. Under the employment agreement Mr. Foster was initially eligible to earn a commission-based bonus of up to $160,000 annually at quota, with additional over quota commission possible, of up to a maximum of $80,000 annually. Mr. Foster is eligible to participate in Pumatech’s medical, dental, life insurance, and long-term disability programs as of the first day of his employment. Mr. Foster was issued an immediately exercisable stock option to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Pumatech’s common stock at $0.34 per share. The option is fully exercisable from the time of grant, subject to Pumatech’s right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the event of Mr. Foster’s termination. The option shares originally vested over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter. Mr. Foster also received an additional grant of an option for 100,000 shares of common stock of Pumatech. The option to purchase 100,000 shares is fully vested as a result of the satisfaction of certain performance milestones. In the event Pumatech terminates Mr. Foster’s employment at any time other than for good reason (as defined in the agreement), then he shall be entitled to receive as a severance six months continuation of his base salary, based upon his base salary as of the date of his employment ceases, and Pumatech will continue to pay for coverage of the executive under Pumatech’s health, life, dental and other insurance programs for a period of six months, provided that he first sign a comprehensive release of claim in favor of Pumatech, and that release becomes effective according to its terms. On September 30, 2003, the Board of Directors granted Mr. Foster an option to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the date of grant, the option shares will vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter. On that date, the Board of Directors also approved a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Foster that provides for 12 months acceleration of vesting of Mr. Foster’s options in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).

 

Pumatech entered into an employment agreement with Mehdi Maghsoodnia dated March 21, 2003, pursuant to which Mr. Maghsoodnia was engaged as Pumatech’s Senior Vice President of Products and Services at an annual base salary of currently $200,000. Mr. Maghsoodnia is eligible to receive an annual bonus of up to $50,000. Mr. Maghsoodnia is eligible to participate in Pumatech’s medical, dental, life insurance, and long-term disability programs as of the fist day of his employment. Mr. Maghsoodnia was issued an immediately exercisable stock option to purchase up to 300,000 shares of Pumatech’s common stock at $2.44 per share. The option is fully exercisable from the time of grant, subject to Pumatech’s right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the event of Mr. Maghsoodnia’s termination. The option shares vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter. Mr. Maghsoodnia also received an additional grant of an option for


16,667 shares of common stock of Pumatech. The option to purchase 16,667 shares is fully vested. In the event Pumatech terminates Mr. Maghsoodnia’s employment at any time other than for good reason (as defined in the agreement), then he shall be entitled to receive as a severance six months continuation of his base salary, based upon his base salary as of the date of his employment ceases, and Pumatech will continue to pay for coverage of the executive under Pumatech’s health, life, dental and other insurance programs for a period of six months, provided that he first sign a comprehensive release of claim in favor of Pumatech, and that release becomes effective according to its terms. On September 30, 2003, the Board of Directors granted Mr. Maghsoodnia an option to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock. As of the date of grant, the option shares will vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter. On that date, the Board of Directors also approved a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Maghsoodnia that provides for 12 months acceleration of vesting of Mr. Maghsoodnia’s options in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).

 

On September 30, 2003, the Board of Directors granted Mr. Kitchen an option to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock. As of the date of the grant, option shares will vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter. On that date, the Board of Directors also approved a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kitchen that provides for 12 months acceleration of vesting of Mr. Kitchen’s options in the event of a Change of Control (as defined below).

 

Under the Change of Control Agreements with Messrs. Foster, Maghsoodnia and Kitchen, “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(a) Any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), excluding existing beneficial owners as of the date of this letter, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Pumatech representing 50% or more of the total voting power represented by Pumatech’s then outstanding voting securities, excluding conversion of any convertible securities issued as of the date of this letter;

 

(b) The composition of the Board of Directors changes during any period of 36 months that follows the date of this letter, such that individuals who, at the beginning of the period, were members of the Board of Directors (the “Continuing Directors”), cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; unless at least 50% of the Continuing Directors has either (i) approved the election of the new Directors, (ii) if the election of the new Directors is voted on by stockholders, recommended that the stockholders vote for approval, or (iii) otherwise determined that such change in composition does not constitute a Change of Control, even if the Continuing Directors do not constitute a quorum of the whole Board (it being understood that this requirement shall not be capable of satisfaction unless there is at least one Continuing Director); or

 

(c) The stockholders of Pumatech approve a merger or consolidation of Pumatech with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of Pumatech outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of Pumatech or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders of Pumatech approve a plan of complete liquidation of Pumatech or an agreement for the sale or disposition by Pumatech of all or substantially all of Pumatech’s assets.

 

The Change of Control Agreements provide that “Change of Control” shall not include either of the following events undertaken at the election of Pumatech:

 

(i) Any transaction, the sole purpose of which is to change the state of Pumatech’s incorporation; or

 

(ii) A transaction, the result of which is to sell all or substantially all of the assets of Pumatech to another corporation (the “surviving corporation”) provided that the surviving corporation is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of Pumatech immediately following such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Pumatech’s common stock immediately preceding such transaction.


REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE PUMATECH BOARD OF

DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The following is the report of the compensation committee of Pumatech, describing the compensation policies and rationale applicable to Pumatech’s executive officers with respect to the compensation paid to such executive officers for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003. The information contained in the report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor shall such information be incorporated by reference into any future filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), except to the extent that Pumatech specifically incorporates it by reference into such filing.

 

To: Board of Directors

 

The committee is responsible for setting and administering the policies governing annual compensation of the executive officers of Pumatech. For all executive officers, the committee reviews the performance and compensation levels for executive officers, sets salary levels and recommends option grants under the Option Plan. The members of this committee for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003 were Ms. Berg-Painter and Messrs. Clair and Praisner, who were non-employee directors of Pumatech for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2003.

 

Overview

 

The goals of Pumatech’s executive officer compensation policies are to attract, retain and reward executive officers who contribute to Pumatech’s success, to align executive officer compensation with Pumatech’s performance and to motivate executive officers to achieve Pumatech’s business objectives. Pumatech uses salary, bonuses, incentive cash compensation and option grants to attain these goals. The committee reviews compensation surveys and other data to enable the committee to compare Pumatech’s compensation package with that of similarly-sized high technology companies in Pumatech’s geographic areas.

 

Salary

 

Base salaries of executive officers, other than for Mr. Hobbs, Pumatech’s president and chief executive officer, are reviewed annually by the committee, and adjustments are made based on individual executive officer performance, scope of responsibilities and levels paid by similarly-sized high technology companies in the applicable geographic area.


Ten Year Option/SAR Repricing

Stock Options

 

Pumatech strongly believes that equity ownership by executive officers provides incentives to build stockholder value and align the interests of executive officers with the stockholders. The size of an initial option grant to an executive officer has generally been determined with reference to similarly-sized high technology companies in the relevant geographic area for similar positions, the responsibilities and future contributions of the executive officer, as well as recruitment and retention considerations. See also “Stock Options Granted in Fiscal Year 2003” below.

 

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

 

The committee annually reviews the performance and compensation of Mr. Hobbs. Mr. Hobbs has served as Pumatech’s president and chief executive officer since June 2002. The compensation of Mr. Hobbs is largely based upon the same criteria as that applicable to the other executive officers of Pumatech although the committee added a number of performance criteria to Mr. Hobbs’ option grants not typical of options granted to other executive officers. In addition to base compensation, Mr. Hobbs received a signing bonus of $200,000 upon execution of his Employment Agreement with Pumatech in June 2002. Mr. Hobbs was also issued an immediately exercisable restricted stock option to purchase up to 1,500,000 shares of Pumatech’s common stock at $0.59 per share. The option is fully exercisable from the time of grant, subject to Pumatech’s right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price in the event of Mr. Hobbs’ termination. The option shares vest as follows: 700,000 shares vest over four years, with 25% vesting after one year and then 1/48th vesting monthly thereafter; 400,000 shares vest on the seventh


anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for meeting certain operating plan criteria, including revenue and net income objectives; and 400,000 shares vest on the seventh anniversary of the date of grant, with acceleration for meeting certain stock price targets. Mr. Hobbs exercised the option with respect to 525,000 shares and paid for the shares by issuing Pumatech a full recourse promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $309,750 with interest accruing at the rate of 4.75% per annum. While the chief executive officer makes recommendations about the compensation levels, goals and performance of the other executive officers, he does not participate in discussions regarding his own compensation or performance. On September 30, 2003, the board of directors agreed to increase Mr. Hobbs’ annual salary to $350,000, retroactive to June 14, 2003, the anniversary of Mr. Hobbs’ employment with Pumatech.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days after November 21, 2003 are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Options granted under Pumatech’s Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plan”) are fully exercisable from the date of grant, subject to Pumatech’s right to repurchase any unvested shares at the original exercise price upon termination of employment. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Information relating to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans of Pumatech is set forth in Part I, Item 5 of Pumatech’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on October 21, 2003, under the caption “Equity Compensation Plan Information as of July 31, 2003.”

 

ITEM 13.   CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Some of Pumatech’s directors, executive officers and affiliates have entered into transactions with Pumatech as follows:

 

Kelly Hicks, Pumatech’s former chief financial officer terminated his employment with Pumatech as of September 2, 2002. Consequently, in accordance with the officer’s outstanding loan agreement, his unpaid loan principal of $235,000 and related interest of 6% per annum, become repayable on the 185th day from his termination date, or on the due date of the loan, whichever is sooner. The repayment of the loan principal and accrued interest accordingly became due on March 6, 2003. The loan principal, including accrued interest, was paid in April 2003.

 

In July 1999 Bruce Nakao, a former director of Pumatech issued a promissory note to Pumatech in the principal amount of $315,000 in connection with Mr. Nakao’s purchase of 143,413 shares of Pumatech’s common stock. Such note bears interest at a rate of 5.32% per year which interest was payable annually. The note was secured by the common shares purchased by Mr. Nakao. Pumatech had the right to call the note if Mr. Nakao sold the shares that were given as security for the note or if any interest was not paid when due. Mr. Nakao repaid all outstanding interest and principal on the note in September 2002.

 

Pumatech’s certificate of incorporation limits the liability of its directors for monetary damages arising from a breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent otherwise required by the Delaware law. Such limitation of liability does not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission.

 

Pumatech’s bylaws provide that Pumatech shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under Delaware law. Pumatech has also entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors containing provisions that may require Pumatech, among other things, to indemnify such officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors, and officers’ insurance if available on reasonable terms.

 

Pumatech’s general counsel, Richard Mosher, an employee of Pumatech, is the son-in-law of Michael Praisner, a member of our board of directors, chairman of the audit committee and a member of the compensation committee. Mr. Mosher’s annual total compensation in fiscal 2003 was $123,167.00. Additionally, during fiscal 2003, Mr. Mosher was granted options to purchase a total of 40,000 shares of Pumatech common stock. Mr. Mosher’s employment with Pumatech pre-dates the election of Mr. Praisner to the board of directors. Mr. Praisner has not been involved in any decisions regarding Mr. Mosher’s compensation or stock option grants.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

 

The audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent accountants. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is often subject to a specific budget. The independent accountants and management are required to periodically report to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent accountants in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The audit committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis.
