Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
Overview
of Compensation Program
The goal
of our executive compensation program is to provide a structure of incentives
and rewards that will drive behavior and performance in a way that builds long
term value for our stockholders. In support of this goal we have
implemented compensation and benefit programs that are designed
to:
|
•
|
Align
the interests of management and
stockholders
|
|
•
|
Enable
the recruitment and retention of high quality executives
and
|
|
•
|
Provide
fair and reasonable levels of
compensation
|
The
following are the principal objectives of our compensation
programs;
Performance
– We strive to maintain a performance-oriented culture. Each of our compensation
elements are designed to encourage performance improvement of our executive
officers. We expect our executive officers to perform to high standards of
competence.
Alignment
with stockholders – We set our goals based on the business milestones that we
believe are most likely to drive long term stockholder value and by tying
significant elements of executive compensation to our business
success. Cash bonuses are designed to acknowledge short term goal
accomplishment while over the long term, executive officers expect to benefit
directly from increases in the value of our common stock through equity
participation, primarily stock options.
Recruiting
and retention – Building an outstanding organization and delivering excellence
in all aspects of our performance requires that we hire, and retain, high
quality executives. We believe that an environment in which
employees are able to have an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding work
experience is critical to our ability to recruit and retain the right
people. A crucial aspect of that environment is the structure of
incentives and rewards that are embedded in the compensation
structure. We strive to keep this structure competitive so that
qualified people are motivated to join our team and to continue to grow and
succeed at Procera.
Fair and
reasonable compensation – We strive to make our compensation programs fair in
relation to other executives within the organization and in relation to
comparable positions in other companies. We set compensation levels that are
reasonable in terms of our overall financial and competitive condition as a
company and that reflect the experience, skills and level of responsibility of
the executive. We utilize executive compensation resources to aid in
benchmarking all components of our executive compensation levels to outside
market conditions.
The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors operates under a board-approved
charter. This charter specifies the principal responsibilities of the
committee as follows: (i) to review and approve the overall compensation
strategy (including performance goals, compensation plans, programs and
policies, employment and similar agreements with executive officers); (ii) to
determine the compensation and terms of employment of the chief executive
officer and the other executive officers; (iii) to administer and to recommend
adoption, change or termination of plans, including option plans, bonus plans,
deferred compensation plans, pension plans and (iv) to establish appropriate
insurance for the directors and officers. The committee consists of
three directors, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements of the
American Stock Exchange Company Guide as well as applicable SEC and IRS
regulations.
The
performance of each of our executive officers is evaluated annually at the end
of the calendar year. The chief executive officer’s performance is evaluated by
the Compensation Committee and the performance of the other executive officers
is evaluated by the chief executive officer and reviewed with the Compensation
Committee. The factors taken into account in the evaluation of performance
include the extent to which pre-established goals and business plans were
accomplished and the extent to which the executive demonstrated leadership,
creativity, teamwork and commitment, and embodied our company
values. Other factors that are considered in making compensation
determinations are the experience, skill level and level of responsibility of
the executive and competitive market conditions.
All
options or restricted stock awards granted to executive officers and directors
must be approved by either the Compensation Committee or the Board of
Directors. At the time of hire, options and/or restricted stock
awards are granted effective on the employment start date for the
executive. Generally, we assess all of our executive officers on an
annual basis for potential additional stock option grants. These
annual awards are approved by the Compensation Committee or by the Board of
Directors.
Our
compensation committee considers relevant market data in setting the
compensation for our executive Officers. During 2007 the compensation
committee selected Radford Surveys and Consulting to provide competitive data
for establishing officer and director compensation. Radford was
selected because of their experience and number of companies
surveyed. They also showed considerable experience with Silicon
Valley high technology companies. A broad survey was used of
companies with similar revenue, headcount and market
capitalization. Specific comparable companies were not used as the
resources required for selecting and conducting a narrow survey were not
justified by the total compensation budget and stage of development of the
company.
General –
We have implemented specific compensation elements to address our objectives
including base salary, equity participation, benefits and a cash bonus
plan. These elements combine short term and longer term incentives
and rewards in meeting our executive compensation goals.
Market
Compensation Data – Our Compensation Committee considers relevant market data in
setting the compensation for our executive Officers. During 2007 the
Compensation Committee selected Radford Surveys and Consulting to provide
competitive data for establishing officer and director
compensation. Radford was selected because of their experience and
quantity of companies surveyed. They also showed considerable
experience with Silicon Valley high technology companies. A broad
survey was used of companies with similar revenue, headcount and market
capitalization. Specific comparable companies were not used as the
resources required for selecting and conducting a narrow survey were not
justified by the total compensation budget and stage of development of the
company.
Base
Salary – In determining base salaries for our executive officers, we benchmark
each of our executive positions using the Radford Surveys and Consulting. We use
the 50th percentile as a general benchmark for salary
levels. However, many factors affect the determination of the salary
level for individual executives, including performance, experience, skill,
responsibilities and competitive market factors. In general, we seek
to provide a fair, reasonable and competitive level of base
salary.
Cash
Bonus – While we believe that the provision of short-term cash incentives is
important to aligning the interests of executive officers and stockholders, and
to the rewarding of performance, we also take into account the overall financial
situation of the company. Since the survey process occurred
during 2007, a bonus program with specific measures for 2007 was not
implemented. The cash bonuses for 2007 were all discretionary awards
recommended by the compensation committed based on the committee’s assessment of
executive officers’ performance and accomplishments during the year with input
from the Chief Executive Officer. The committee has recommended
target cash bonus incentives for 2008 based on the survey conducted in
2007. The chief executive officer will receive an initial bonus
of 50% of his annual base salary after his first six months of his employment
with the Company and is eligible for a discretionary performance bonus of up to
80% for the remainder of 2008 provided, however that for 2008, the annual bonus
will be prorated over the time between the end of the first six months of Mr.
Brear’s employment and the end of calendar year 2008. For 2008, the
other executive officers are each eligible for a total target bonus of up to 80%
of base salary.
Equity
Incentive – We utilize stock options as the primary method of equity
participation for our executive officers. Equity awards are made for reward and
recognition of long term contribution to the shareholders. We
determine option grants by reference to our own capitalization structure, the
Radford Surveys and to internally generated benchmarks that we have established
to determine appropriate levels of stock option grants for our
employees. Because of the long term nature of this incentive, the
awards were evaluated over a multiyear period. The committee
determined that all of the officers had significant recent awards either as
hiring incentives or retention awards in 2006 or 2007 except the former
CEO. As a result the committee recommended only the CEO received an
equity award in the form of stock options in 2007.
Benefits
– We provide a competitive range of health and other benefit programs to our
executive officers. These are provided on the same basis to executive
officers and all employees. These include health and dental
insurance, life and disability insurance, and a 401(k) plan.
Relocation
– When necessary and appropriate, upon the hire of new executives, we may pay
additional amounts in reimbursement of relocation costs and/or as additional
compensation to assist with the high cost of housing in the San Francisco Bay
Area.
Severance
and Change of Control – Under provisions of our chief executive officer’s
employment agreement, in the event of a termination of employment for reasons
other than cause, he is entitled to receive salary payments and continuation of
certain healthcare benefits for six months together with his initial bonus, if
not yet paid, all bonuses awarded during the prior calendar year, if not yet
paid, and a pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which his employment is
terminated. In the event of an actual or constructive termination of
employment of our chief executive officer, or certain of our other executive
officers as described below under “Employment, Severance, Separation and Change
of Control Agreements,” other than for cause, within twelve months after a
change of control of the company, the unvested portion of any equity awards
granted will immediately become fully vested. We entered into these
arrangements to attract and retain the service of our executive officers.
Under provisions of our former chief executive officer’s retirement agreement,
he is entitled to receive salary payments and continuation of certain healthcare
benefits for the 18 month period ending April 2009.
Section
162(m) Treatment Regarding Performance-Based Equity Awards
Under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a public
company is generally denied deductions for compensation paid to the chief
executive officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers
to the extent the compensation for any such individual exceeds one million
dollars for the taxable year. Our executive compensation programs are designed
to preserve the deductibility of compensation payable to executive officers,
although deductibility will be only one among a number of factors considered in
determining appropriate levels or types of compensation.
Components
of Director Compensation
Directors
who are also Procera’s employees received no additional compensation for serving
on the Board during 2007. Procera reimbursed non-employee Directors
for all travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings
of the Board of Directors. In addition, Directors were awarded
options to purchase 12,500 shares of common stock at current market price for
each quarter of service provided. The 2007 option awards were based
on an option methodology established in 2004.
As a
result of the data from the Radford Surveys & Consulting, the Compensation
Committee developed a more comprehensive methodology of compensating
non-employee Directors for 2008. The 2008 compensation plan includes
elements which recognize increased responsibilities for committee participation
and general board meeting demands and combine elements of compensation for
meeting attendance, committee participation as well as equity
incentives.
Compensation
of the Named Executive Officers in 2007
The table
below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by our Chief Executive
Officer, Chief Financial Officer and each of our three other most highly
compensated executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007
(representing all of our executive officers serving at that date who earned over
$100,000 in salary and bonus for the fiscal year ending on that date), and one
additional individual that served as an executive officer during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007 but was no longer serving at December 31,
2007. We refer to each of such persons as a “named executive
officer.”

Discussion
of Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards
Tables
Our
executive compensation policies and practices, pursuant to which the
compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of
Plan-Based Awards table was paid or awarded, are described above under
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” A summary of certain material terms of
our compensation plans and arrangements is set forth below.
Employment,
Severance, Separation and Change of Control Agreements
We have
entered into the following employment arrangements with each of the named
executive officers reflected in the Summary Compensation
Table.
James F.
Brear
On February 11, 2008, the Company entered into an
executive employment agreement with James F. Brear, as Chief Executive Officer,
President and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Pursuant
to this agreement, Mr. Brear will receive an annual base salary of $240,000,
subject to annual review and increases at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Mr. Brear will receive an initial bonus of 50% of his
annual base salary after his first six months of employment with the Company
provided he remains an active employee through that time. In
addition, Mr. Brear is eligible for an annual discretionary performance bonus
equal to 80% of his annual base salary as determined by the Board of Directors;
provided, however, that for calendar year 2008, the Annual bonus shall be
prorated over the time between the end of the first six months of Mr. Brear’s
employment and the end of Calendar year 2008.
The
Company also granted Mr. Brear an option to purchase 2,250,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock, which will vest over four years, with 25% of the shares
vesting on the one year anniversary of Mr. Brear’s first day of employment with
the Company and the remaining shares vesting in 36 equal monthly installments
thereafter.
Under the
Employment Agreement, either the Company or Mr. Brear may terminate his
employment at any time. If the Company terminates Mr. Brear’s
employment without cause or Mr. Brear terminates his employment with good
reason, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Brear severance equal to six
months at his then current base salary, the maintenance of health insurance
coverage for Mr. Brear and his eligible dependents for a period of six months,
the full amount of his Initial Bonus if it has not previously been paid, the
full amount of any Annual Bonus awarded for the completed calendar preceding
termination if not already paid, and a pro-rated Annual Bonus for the calendar
year in which his employment terminates. Finally, if the Company
terminates Mr. Brear’s employment without cause or Mr. Brear terminates his
employment with good reason within twelve months after a change in control, the
unvested portion of any equity awards granted to Mr. Brear prior to his
termination will immediately become fully vested.
Thomas H.
Williams
In March 2006, Procera entered into an offer letter
with Mr. Thomas H. Williams employing him as Chief Financial
Officer. The agreement provides for a base salary of $160,000 per
annum. In addition, Procera granted to Mr. Williams an option to
purchase 450,000 shares of Procera common stock at a price of $.69 per
share. In August, 2006 Mr. Williams was granted an option to purchase
an additional 750,000 shares at an option price of $.52 per share. In
August 2007, Mr. Williams’ base salary was increased to $190,000 per
annum. On November 2, 2007, in connection with his promotion to
interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Williams’ salary was increased to
$245,000. Mr. Williams is eligible to participate in any executive
bonus programs adopted by the Company’s board of directors. There are
no severance provisions. If the Company terminates Mr. Williams’s
employment without cause or if Mr. Williams terminates his employment with good
reason within twelve months after a change in control, the unvested portion of
any equity awards granted to Mr. Williams prior to his termination will
immediately become fully vested
David
Stepner
In May 2007, Procera entered into an offer letter with
Mr. David Stepner employing him as Chief Operating Officer. The
agreement provides for a base salary of $160,000 per annum. The
company granted Mr. Stepner an option to purchase 250,000 shares of Procera
common stock at a price of $3.00 per share with a vesting period of three years
The options vest over a three year period with one-sixth vesting 6 months after
his start date and the remaining shares vesting in 30 equal monthly installments
thereafter. Mr. Stepner was also granted 300,000 shares of common
stock with a vesting date of November 7, 2008. Mr. Stepner is
eligible to participate in any executive bonus program adopted by the Company’s
board of directors. There are no Severance provisions. If
the Company terminates Mr. Stepner’s employment without cause or if Mr. Stepner
terminates his employment with good reason within twelve months after a change
in control, the unvested portion of any equity awards granted to Mr. Stepner
prior to his termination will immediately become fully vested
Paul
Eovino
In October 2006, the Company entered into a letter
agreement with Paul Eovino employing him as Vice President of Finance and
Corporate Controller. The agreement provides for a base salary of
$150,000 per annum on a full time basis. Mr Eovino worked on a part
time basis at a rate of 60% of full time for the period October 1, 2006 through
March 31, 2007 and became a full time employee on March 1,
2007. Mr. Eovino was also granted an option to purchase 500,000
shares of common stock; 250,000 of these shares commenced vesting in October
2006 and the remaining 250,000 commenced vesting in March 2007. Mr.
Eovino is eligible to participate in any executive bonus program adopted by the
Company’s board of directors. There are no Severance
provisions. If the Company terminates Mr. Eovino’s employment without
cause or if Mr. Eovino terminates his employment with good reason within twelve
months after a change in control, the unvested portion of any equity awards
granted to Mr. Eovino prior to his termination will immediately become fully
vested
Douglas
Glader
In November 2007, the company entered into a retirement
and separation agreement with Douglas Glader, former Chief Executive Officer,
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Director. Pursuant to this
agreement, Mr. Glader is entitled to receive benefits equal to 18 months of his
base salary as well as a maximum of 18 months health care continuation under the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) paid for by the
Company. The salary portion of the retirement agreement is valued at
$39,472, $245,000 and $83,028 in 2007, 2008 and 2009
respectively. The health care continuation benefit is valued at
$1,056, $12,675 and $5,281 in 2007, 2008 and 2009
respectively.
Potential payouts
upon termination or Change of Control
Other than the
provisions of the executive severance benefits to which our Named Executive
Officer’s would be entitled to at the end of our fiscal year ending December 31,
2007 as set forth above, the Company has no liabilities under termination or
change of control conditions.
Under the
terms of option agreements with our Named Executive Officers, the value of
equity award acceleration, in the event of a change of control of
Procera, as of December 31, 2007, is valued at $322,808 for Thomas H.
Williams, $513,377 for David Stepner and $459,178 for Paul Eovino. The
amounts computed by person assume the termination was effective as of December
31, 2007 and that all eligibility requirements under the equity award agreement
were met. The values represent the portion of the stock option that is
assumed to be accelerated, calculated using a Black-Scholes option
valuation method without taking into effect estimated
forfeiture.

There
were no options exercised by any named executive officer during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2007. We do not have any stock appreciation rights plans in
effect and we have no long-term incentive plans, as those terms are defined in
SEC regulations. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, we did not
adjust or amend the exercise price of stock options awarded to the named
executive officers. We have no defined benefit or actuarial plans covering any
named executive officer.
During
fiscal year 2007, each of our non-employee directors received a grant of option
to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock. The members of the
Board of Directors are also eligible for reimbursement for their expenses
incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings in accordance with our
policy on reimbursement of business expenses.
In
December 2007, the Compensation Committee approved a revised compensation
structure for each of our non-employee directors and was approved by the full
Board of Directors in January 2008. Beginning in fiscal year 2008,
each of our non-employee directors will receive an annual retainer of
$10,000. The chair of each of the Audit, Compensation and
Nominating/Governance Committees will receive an additional annual retainer of
$5,000, $2,500 and $2,500, respectively. In addition the Compensation
Committee approved an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for our Chairman of
the Board. All annual cash compensation amounts are earned on a
quarterly basis. Each director will also receive $1,000 for attending
each Board of Directors or Committee meeting in person or $500 for attending
telephonically. Each non-employee director may make the annual
election to forego the cash compensation payable to non-employee directors and
to instead receive an additional option grant, equivalent in value to such cash
compensation.
The
members of the Board of Directors are also eligible for reimbursement for their
expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board meetings in accordance
with our policy. Each of our non-employee directors will also receive a grant of
option to purchase 3,750 shares of our common stock each quarter at the fair
market value on the first day of each quarter. Such options are not
intended by us to qualify as incentive stock options under the
Code.
During
2007, we granted options to purchase an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common
stock to our non-employee directors at a weighted average exercise price per
share of $1.50. As of March 31, 2008, no options have been exercised
to purchase any shares issued to Directors as compensation.
The
following table provides information regarding compensation of non-employee
directors who served during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2007.

The
amounts in this column reflect the dollar amount recognized for financial
statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007,
in accordance with SFAS 123R. This expense is determined by
computing the fair value of each option on the grant date in accordance
with SFAS 123R and recognizing that amount as expense ratably over the
option vesting term and accordingly includes a portion of 2007 options
granted in previous years that vest in 2007. Assumptions used
in the calculation of these amounts are included in the notes to our
audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007,
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 2,
2008.

Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
Since
January 1, 2007, there has not been nor are there currently proposed any
transactions or series of similar transactions to which we were or are to be a
party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any director,
executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our common stock or any member of
the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct
or indirect material interest, other than the following
transactions:
Information
on our executives employment agreements is located under the caption,
“Employment, Severance, Separation and Change of Control Agreements”
above.
Director
and Officer Indemnification Agreements
In
addition to the indemnification provisions contained in our restated certificate
of incorporation and bylaws, we generally enter into separate indemnification
agreements with our directors and officers. These agreements require
us, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified
expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and
settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or
proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as our director or
officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that
is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses
incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the
individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to
indemnification by us. We also intend to enter into these agreements
with our future directors and executive officers.
Company
Policy Regarding Related Party Transactions
It is our
policy that the Audit Committee approve or ratify transactions involving
directors, executive officers or principal shareholders or members of their
immediate families or entities controlled by any of them or in which they have a
substantial ownership interest in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and
that are otherwise reportable under SEC disclosure rules. Such
transactions include employment of immediate family members of any director or
executive officer. Management advises the Audit Committee on a regular
basis of any such transaction that is proposed to be entered into or continued
and seeks approval. The company has not yet adopted a written
related-persons transaction policy.
Our board
has determined that the following directors are “independent” under current
American Stock Exchange listing standards:
|
Thomas
Saponas
|
|
Scott
McClendon
|
|
Mary
Losty
|
|
Staffan
Hillberg
|
Under
applicable SEC and American Stock Exchange rules, the existence of certain
“related party” transactions above certain thresholds between a director and the
Company are required to be disclosed and preclude a finding by the Board that
the director is independent. In addition to transactions required to
be disclosed under SEC rules, the Board considered certain other relationships
in making its independence determinations, and determined in each case that such
other relationships did not impair the director’s ability to exercise
independent judgment on our behalf. Specifically, the Board considered the
following information:
Mary
Losty:
In November 2006, Mary Losty purchased shares of
our equity securities in a private placement financing and was granted warrants
associated with this financing. Ms. Losty was appointed to the board
in March 2007.

Pre-Approval
Policies and Procedures
The Audit
Committee has adopted a policy that all audit, audit-related, tax and any other
non-audit service to be performed by our independent registered public
accounting firm must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Our company policy
is that all such services be pre-approved prior to the commencement of the
engagement. The Audit Committee is also required to pre-approve the estimated
fees for such services, as well as any subsequent changes to the terms of the
engagement. The Audit Committee has delegated the authority (within specified
limits) to the chair of the Audit Committee to pre-approve such services if it
is not practical to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting to seek such
approval. The Audit Committee chair is required to report to the Audit Committee
at the following Audit Committee meeting any such services approved by the chair
under such delegation.
The Audit
Committee will only approve those services that would not impair the
independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and which are
consistent with the rules of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board.
Under
this policy, the Audit Committee meets at least annually to review and where
appropriate approve the audit and non-audit services to be performed by the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Any subsequent requests
to have the independent registered public accounting firm perform any additional
services must be submitted in writing to the Audit Committee by our chief
financial officer, together with the independent registered public accounting
firm, which written request must include an affirmation from each that the
requested services are consistent with the SEC and Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board’s rules on auditor independence.
All fees
paid to PMB Helin Donovan for 2007 and 2006 were pre-approved by our Audit
Committee.
