Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

Effective January 1, 2010, CDC Software Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a new executive services agreement with Asia Pacific On-Line Ltd. (“APOL”) for the services of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Peter Yip (the “2010 CDC Software ESA”).

The 2010 CDC Software ESA provides for, among other things, (i) the termination of that certain Executive Services Agreement dated as of December 19, 2008, as amended to date by and among CDC Corporation Limited., an affiliate of the Company’s parent, APOL and Mr. Yip; (ii) a renewed term; (iii) a revised scope of services; and (iv) revised compensation terms.

The 2010 CDC Software ESA has a three (3) year term and provides that APOL shall receive, in exchange for Mr. Yip’s services as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the following cash and equity-based compensation:

 

 

 

annual cash remuneration, payable monthly in arrears as a Management Fee under Section 4.1 of the 2010 CDC Software ESA, in the aggregate amount of $800,000 per year, and

 

 

 

a potential cash bonus of up to $800,000 per annum, payable in amounts of up to $200,000 per quarter, promptly after the Company’s quarterly earnings announcements, based upon the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA performance for such quarter.

The cash compensation payable under the 2010 CDC Software ESA will be reviewed at least once per year during the term thereof.

All awards of options and stock appreciation rights previously granted to Mr. Yip and APOL shall remain outstanding and, together with the New Options (as defined in the 2010 CDC Software ESA), shall continue to vest in accordance with their terms, provided that (i) Mr. Yip continues to provide services to, and remains employed by, the Company on the relevant vesting date; and (ii) the 2010 CDC Software ESA has not otherwise been terminated.

The Company will reimburse APOL for Mr. Yip’s reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of his duties related to travel and entertaining in accordance with the policies of the Company.

In addition, as long as APOL beneficially owns at least 5% of the shares of CDC Corporation and Mr. Yip, together with one or more members of his immediate family, is the beneficial owner of at least 50% of APOL, APOL will be entitled to nominate one director to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders.

APOL and Mr. Yip have also agreed to, subject to certain exceptions, non-competition and non-solicitation periods of 12 months after the termination of the 2010 CDC Software ESA.

Additionally, an award of options to purchase 250,000 of the Company’s class A ordinary shares under the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, at an exercise price of $10.15 per share, was granted to APOL by the Board on March 1, 2010, which options shall vest quarterly over three years.

The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the 2010 CDC Software ESA, which is provided as Exhibit 1.19 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
