Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

 

On December 17, 2002, we entered into a letter agreement with Michael D. Becker in connection with Mr. Becker’s promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Under the terms of such letter agreement, Mr. Becker received an annual base salary of $250,000, which was subsequently increased to $280,000 for 2004 and $300,000 for 2005, and a car allowance of $750 per month. Mr. Becker is also eligible to participate in the Cytogen Corporation Performance Bonus Plan, as and if approved by our Board of Directors, with a target bonus rate of up to 35% of base salary based upon performance objectives. Mr. Becker is also entitled to all existing Company benefits, at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.

 

In addition, Mr. Becker was granted options to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock under our 1995 Stock Option Plan. The exercise price per share of such options is $3.54, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. 50,000 of such options vested immediately upon grant, and the remaining 150,000 options will vest, if at all, in three equal tranches of 50,000, based upon Mr. Becker’s achievement of certain performance based milestones established by the Board of Directors. Mr. Becker has subsequently received additional options to purchase shares of our common stock. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the letter agreement, in the event we terminate Mr. Becker’s employment for reasons other than for cause, as defined therein, Mr. Becker shall be entitled to receive twelve months’ base pay and continuation of benefits under COBRA, and a pro rata portion of any incentive benefits earned through the date of termination.

 

Each of our executive officers and each of Dr. Manyak, Ms. Auld and Ms. Dang are currently party to an Executive Change of Control Severance Agreement with Cytogen. Such agreements provide, generally, for the payment of twelve months’ base salary, a pro-rata portion of such officer’s bonus compensation, the continuation of all benefits, reasonable Company-paid outplacement assistance and certain other accrued rights, in the event such officer’s employment with us is terminated in connection with a change in control as set forth therein.

 

Directors’ Compensation

 

Annual Retainers

 

Each of our non-employee directors receives an annual retainer of $16,000. In addition: (i) the Chairman of the Board (who is not an employee of the Company) currently receives, based upon significant time spent on Company business, an additional annual retainer of $50,000; (ii) any non-employee director who also chairs a board committee receives an additional annual fee of $6,000; and (iii) members of the Research and Development Committee each receive an annual fee of $4,000.

Table of Contents

Board Meeting Attendance

 

Each of our non-employee directors receives $2,000 for each board meeting attended in person, and $500 if such participation is by telephone.

 

Committee Meeting Attendance

 

Non-employee directors receive $1,000 for each committee meeting attended in person, and $500 if such participation is by telephone, but, other than members of the Research and Development Committee who receive an annual fee as set forth above, receive no additional fees for committee membership.

 

Equity Compensation

 

Pursuant to our 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan (the “Director Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders at our 2004 Annual Meeting, each non-employee director receives an initial grant of options on the date of appointment equal to a pro-rata portion of 10,000 shares of our common stock per year, based upon the number of months remaining from the date of election until the one year anniversary of the preceding annual meeting. In addition, on the day following each annual meeting of the stockholders, each individual who is re-elected as a non-employee director is automatically granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock. The Chairman of the Board, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise, receives an additional grant of 7,500 options to purchase shares of our common stock on the day following each annual meeting. Furthermore, each director who, upon conclusion of our 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the adoption of the Director Plan, was a non-employee director, was granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock.

 

Options granted under the Director Plan are exercisable at a price equal to the average of the high and low sale prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq National Market on the date of grant and vest in full (i.e., first become exercisable) at the first anniversary of the option grant date.

 

Each director’s outstanding options granted under the Director Plan also become immediately exercisable in full: (i) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction or Major Event, as defined in the Director Plan; (ii) upon death or disability of such Director, or if a Director dies within three months following the date of his or her termination of service on the Board, until the earlier of the end of the one-year period immediately following the date of termination of service, or the expiration of the term of the option; or (iii) if the non-employee director has served as a director of the Company for three years, upon voluntary resignation or retirement after age 55, until the earlier of the end of the five year period immediately following the date of the termination of service, or the expiration of the term of the option.

 

Each eligible director may name, from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be named contingently or successively) as his or her beneficiary for purposes of the Director Plan. Each designation shall be on a form prescribed by the Company, will be effective only when delivered to the Company, when effective will revoke all prior designations by such director and will be allowed only to the extent permitted by applicable law. If an eligible director dies with no such beneficiary designation in effect, such person’s options will be transferable by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution applicable to such person.

 

The Director Plan also provides that non-employee directors shall receive, at the sole discretion of and after formal action by our Board of Directors, such number of shares of common stock that is equal to each such director’s cash compensation (including, but not limited to, annual service fees, fees payable for board and committee meetings attended and fees for committees chaired) (the “Cash Component”), divided by the fair market value of our common stock as of the date of issuance of such shares (the “Compensation Shares”), which date shall be no earlier than the date on which the applicable Cash Component compensation becomes due and payable by the Company. Compensation Shares shall not be issued for services not yet rendered by such directors to the Company.

 

The Director Plan also provides that, in the event the Board elects to issue Compensation Shares, such eligible directors will receive Compensation Shares until, absent additional Board action, at least such time as: (i) such director owns 2,000 shares of our common stock, excluding options or other rights to acquire shares of our common stock, whether exercisable or unexercisable; or (ii) if fewer than 2,000 shares are so owned, such smaller number of shares has a fair market value of in excess of $100,000, excluding the value, if any, of options to purchase common stock, whether exercisable or unexercisable, or other rights to acquire our common stock. Upon achieving either of such milestones (i) or (ii) above, each such director may, at his or her option, elect to cease receiving his or her Cash Component to which he or she is entitled in shares of our common stock under the Director Plan; provided, however, that such director must make such election by providing notice of

Table of Contents

such election to us in a timely manner. As of the date hereof, all of our current non-employee directors have satisfied either of the milestones as set forth above, and have elected to receive their director compensation in cash.

 

Each option provided for in the Director Plan shall be granted automatically and without further action by us, our Board of Directors or our stockholders. Promptly after the date of grant of each option provided for in the Director Plan, we shall cause an option agreement to be executed and delivered to the holder of the option. No other options may be granted at any time under the Director Plan.

 

Expense Reimbursement

 

All non-employee directors are eligible to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with their service on the Board of Directors.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks And Insider Participation

 

During 2004, our Compensation Committee consisted of Robert F. Hendrickson, who served as Chairman of the Committee, Allen Bloom and Kevin G. Lokay. There are no, and during 2004 there were no, Compensation Committee interlocks.

 

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors

 

Policy

 

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for oversight of our executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee is composed entirely of independent, non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the full Board of Directors on compensation policy and as to specific compensation actions, except where independent action by the Compensation Committee is appropriate.

 

Our compensation program, both for our executive officers as well as for all employees, is based on the philosophy that the interests of the employees should be closely aligned with those of our stockholders. Our 2004 executive compensation program was based on the following principles:

 

    compensation opportunities should attract the best talent to us, motivate individuals to perform at their highest levels, reward outstanding achievement, and retain the leadership and skills necessary for building long-term stockholder value;

 

    a portion of total compensation should be at risk of performance; and

 

    individual executives should be encouraged to manage from the perspective of owners of the Company.

 

Our 2004 compensation program reflected the Compensation Committee’s assessment as to appropriate treatment on an individual basis for the Chief Executive Officer during 2004 and the other Named Executives compared to the prior year levels. We target our overall compensation program at the median level of the biotechnology industry. In addition, compensation for the Named Executives (and other executives), including our CEO, took into account individual responsibility and performance as assessed by the Compensation Committee.

 

The compensation program includes a combination of competitive base salary and benefits, annual cash bonus opportunities and stock option awards. The 2004 executive compensation program and a specific discussion as to the compensation of the CEO are set out below.

 

Annual Compensation for 2004

 

Generally, annual compensation of executive officers under the executive compensation program for 2004 consisted of salary and bonus components.

 

Base Salary

 

In December 2003, the Compensation Committee determined for recommendation to the full Board of Directors, base salaries and certain annual incentive opportunities for 2004 for our executives, including the CEO and the other Named Executives. In setting annual base salary for executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers compensation data for the biotechnology industry; the officer’s relevant experience, skills and abilities; the officer’s historical performance against goals and contribution to corporate performance; and equitableness relative to the compensation of other officers and

 

10


Table of Contents

employees of the Company. The Compensation Committee does not, however, use a specific formula based on a ranking of the indicated criteria, but instead makes a subjective evaluation of each executive officer’s contributions and potential in light of such criteria.

 

Bonus

 

A portion of 2004 executive officer annual compensation opportunity was based on corporate performance. The Compensation Committee believes that incentive compensation should be linked to corporate financial results and corporate goals. Bonus opportunity levels for 2004 performance were set in advance of the year at a percentage of base salary, with the total amount of the bonus opportunity dependent on the extent to which corporate objectives were achieved and the amount of cash available as determined by the Compensation Committee. At year-end, the Compensation Committee determined the extent to which our financial and corporate objectives had been achieved and applied the appropriate bonus percentage to the respective base salary of each of the Named Executives.

 

Long Term Compensation – Stock Options

 

The Compensation Committee believes that stock options are an appropriate means to link our employees’ interests with those of our stockholders. Stock option awards are designed primarily to provide strong incentives for superior longer-term performance and continued retention. Because the Compensation Committee believes that corporate performance is one of the principal factors influencing the market value of our common stock, the granting of stock options to our executive officers encourages them to work to achieve consistent improvements in corporate performance. Options only have value to the recipient when the price of our common stock exceeds the exercise price, which is not less than the fair market value of our common stock at the date of grant.

 

Option grants are set taking into account the comparison of practices at peer groups, an individual’s level of responsibility and furtherance of corporate objectives, and the amount and terms of past stock option awards and the availability of options for grant under our stock option plans. The Compensation Committee also took into account in its review of option grants the fact that we have no other long term incentive program, and believes that options are important to retain executives and promote steps to build long term value.

 

The Compensation Committee reviews from time to time with the entire Board of Directors the need and advisability of increasing shares available under any compensation plan and will consider with the Board the need for the adoption of new stock plans in future years. Any such change or recommendation would be presented to stockholders for review and approval at a subsequent meeting of our stockholders.

 

Compensation of Michael D. Becker

 

Mr. Becker’s salary was set on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and was believed to be an appropriate level of base compensation in view of compensation levels paid by the industry, in view of Mr. Becker’s experience, and considering our continuing accomplishments under his leadership during the year. Prior to his promotion to President and Chief Executive Officer in December 2002, Mr. Becker’s salary was $180,000. Upon his promotion, the Compensation Committee approved an increase of $70,000 to $250,000. Also in connection with his promotion in 2002, Mr. Becker was granted options to purchase 200,000 shares of our common stock under our 1995 Plan. Mr. Becker’s salary was $280,000 in 2004 and is $300,000 for 2005.

 

Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), generally disallows a tax deduction to public companies for certain compensation in excess of $1 million paid to a company’s Chief Executive Officer and the four other most highly compensated executive officers. Certain compensation, including qualified performance-based compensation, will not be subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Compensation Committee reviews the potential effect of Section 162(m) periodically and generally seeks to structure the long-term incentive compensation granted to its executive officers through option issuances under the Company’s equity incentive plans in a manner that is intended to avoid disallowance of deductions under Section 162(m). Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that compensation attributable to awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plans will be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m). In addition, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to use its judgment to authorize compensation payments that may be subject to the limit when the Compensation Committee believes such payments are appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, after taking into consideration changing business conditions and the performance of its employees.

The Compensation Committee believes that performance should be rewarded, that the financial interests of the executive officers should be aligned with the stockholders, and that compensation should be competitive. We have structured the compensation we pay to meet these criteria.

Audit Fees

 

Audit fees consist of fees for the audits of our consolidated financial statements and management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of internal controls over financial reporting, the review of the interim financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other professional services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

 

Audit-Related Fees

 

Audit-related fees consist of fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit and the review of our financial statements and which are not reported under “Audit Fees”. These services relate to audits of our employee benefit plan.

 

Tax Fees

 

Tax fees consist of fees for tax compliance and consultation services. These services relate primarily to preparation of tax returns and accounted for $35,000 and $40,500 of the total tax fees paid for 2004 and 2003, respectively. The remaining tax services relate to tax consultation services related to technical advice.

 

All Other Fees

 

Other fees in 2004 consist of a subscription for internet-based research services. KPMG LLP did not provide any such services to us during 2003.

 

Audit and Finance Committee Pre-Approval Policy and Procedures

 

The Audit and Finance Committee has adopted policies and procedures relating to the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit services that are to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. This policy generally provides that we will not engage our independent registered public accounting firm to render audit or non-audit services unless the service is specifically approved in advance by the Audit and Finance Committee. All engagements entered into with KPMG LLP subsequent to May 6, 2003 were approved in advance by the Audit and Finance Committee.

 

The Audit and Finance Committee may delegate authority to one or more subcommittees (including a subcommittee consisting of a single member), as it deems appropriate from time to time under the circumstances. Any decision of a subcommittee to pre-approve audit, review, attest or non-audit services shall be presented to the full Audit and Finance Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
