Director Compensation
Each non-employee member of our Board of Directors currently receives an annual retainer of $10,000, except for the chairman, who currently receives an annual retainer of $20,000. In addition, each non-employee director currently receives $1,000 for each Board meeting attended in person for his services as director, as well as reimbursement of travel expenses associated with such Board meetings or committee meetings. Each non-employee member of our Compensation and Nomination Committees currently receives an annual retainer of $2,000 for such participation, with the exception of the chairman of each committee, who currently receives an annual retainer of $4,000. Each member of the Audit Committee currently receives an annual retainer of $5,000 for participation on the committee, with the exception of the chairman of the committee, who currently receives an annual retainer of $10,000. In February 2004, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors adopted a plan to pay directors in the currency of the country of their residence, using the average rate of exchange as of April 2003.
A total of 280,000 shares of common stock are currently reserved for issuance under our 1997 Director Option Plan (“The Director Plan”). The Director Plan provides that the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Director Plan is increased on each anniversary date of adoption of the Director Plan by an amount equal to the total number of shares underlying the options granted in the immediately preceding year or a lesser amount determined by the Board of Directors. Each then serving non-employee director was granted an initial option to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock on the effective date of the Director Plan and each person who became or becomes a non-employee director after that date has been granted and currently will automatically be granted an initial option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock. In addition, each then serving non-employee director has been granted and will currently automatically be granted an annual option to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of common stock under the Director Plan on the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders, subject to continued service as a non-employee director, unless such director has not been serving as a non-employee director for at least six months. All options granted under the Director Plan have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, have a term of ten years and vest monthly over one year from the date of grant. Options granted under the Director Plan are not transferable unless approved by the Board of Directors. The Director Plan will terminate in March 2007.
The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee may from time to time review and make changes to the compensation paid to the non-employee directors, including with respect to service on any additional committee that is created.
Employment Contracts
We pay the salary of Mr. Schneider through SCM Microsystems GmbH, our German subsidiary. Our German subsidiary has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Schneider pursuant to which he serves as Managing Director of the subsidiary. The agreement continues for an indefinite term and each party may terminate the agreement at any time with six months notice. Furthermore, Mr. Schneider is subject to a non-compete provision for a period of one year after the termination of employment. Mr. Schneider’s employment agreement provides that his salary and bonus will be determined from time to time by the Board.
In January 2006, we entered into a new employment contract with Mr. Moore. Under the agreement, if SCM were to terminate Mr. Moore without cause or if Mr. Moore were to terminate his employment with us within 90 days of an event constituting “good reason,” then Mr. Moore would be entitled to a severance package consisting of 1) payment of his then-current monthly base salary for one year following the termination of his employment; 2) payment of any bonus earned during 2005 (if not already paid) under our MBO Plan and a pro rata portion of any bonus earned under the MBO Plan during 2006; and 3) payment of any special bonus earned with respect to projects completed within 180 days of the date of Mr. Moore’s termination. In addition, Mr. Moore would be entitled to receive coverage under SCM group health insurance program for up to one year following the date of termination. Stephan Rohaly replaced Mr. Moore as Chief Financial Officer effective March 21, 2006 and following our announcement that we intend to move our corporate headquarters to Germany during 2006. Under the terms of Mr. Moore’s employment contract, he remains entitled to receive his severance package as detailed above.

In January 2006, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Overkott. Mr. Overkott left his position as executive vice president, sales and marketing with us, effective January 15, 2006. Under the separation agreement, Mr. Overkott is entitled to receive a severance payment of approximately $220,000. In addition, Mr. Overkott is eligible to receive an additional $100,000 bonus payment upon completion by June 30, 2006 of certain projects for SCM. The period during which he may exercise his SCM stock options will also be extended through December 31, 2006, subject to the approval of our Board of Directors and the provisions of the our employee stock option plan. Under the agreement, Mr. Overkott continued to provide limited support to SCM on various matters through the end of February 2006.
In January 2006, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Zankel, under which Mr. Zankel’s employment with SCM was terminated, effective December 31, 2005. Under the separation agreement, Mr. Zankel received a lump sum severance payment of €285,000, or approximately $349,000, payable 14 days after receipt by us of a written notice to pay from Mr. Zankel and following the return of all SCM property. Mr. Zankel will have no further claims to past or future remuneration from us.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
In 2005, the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs. Humphreys, Turner, Vought and Dr. Cubero. No member of the Compensation Committee is, or was during 2005, an officer or employee of SCM or any of its subsidiaries. To our knowledge, no interlocking relationship exists, or existed during 2005, between any member of the Compensation Committee and the board of directors or compensation committee of any other publicly traded company.
Board Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding our compensation policies and the compensation to be provided to our executive officers and directors. The following is the report of the Compensation Committee that describes the compensation policies applicable to the compensation of our executive officers and directors for their services to us during 2005.
Compensation Philosophy. Our philosophy in setting our compensation policies for executive officers is to maximize stockholder value over time. The primary goal of our executive compensation program is therefore to closely align the interests of the executive officers with those of our stockholders. To achieve this goal, we attempt to:
• | offer compensation opportunities that attract and retain executives whose abilities are critical to our long-term success, motivate individuals to perform at their highest level and reward outstanding achievement; | |
• | maintain a portion of the executive total compensation at risk, with payment of that portion tied to achievement of financial, organizational and management performance goals; and | |
• | encourage executives to manage from the perspective of owners with an equity stake in SCM. |
The Compensation Committee currently uses salary, incentive bonuses and stock options to meet these goals.
Base Salary. The base salary component of total compensation is primarily designed to attract, motivate, reward and retain highly skilled executives and to compensate executives competitively within the industry and the marketplace. The Compensation Committee reviewed fiscal 2005 base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer at the beginning of fiscal 2005. In establishing base salaries for these executive officers, the Compensation Committee evaluated benchmark data for salaries of executive officers in similar positions as well as each officer’s salary history, scope of responsibility, prior experience, past performance for us and recommendations from management. Based on this evaluation, the Compensation Committee determined that salary levels for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer should be set around the median level for companies of similar size, and left unchanged the annual salary for Mr. Schneider at €350,000 and the annual salary for Mr. Moore at $200,000.
Incentive Bonuses. Each executive officer’s annual bonus is based on qualitative and quantitative factors and is intended to motivate and reward executive officers by directly linking the amount of the bonus to performance targets. In addition, incentive bonuses for executive officers are intended to reflect the Compensation Committee’s belief that the compensation of each executive officer should be contingent upon our overall performance. To carry out this philosophy, our Board of Directors reviews and approves the financial goals for the fiscal year. The
11
Table of Contents
Compensation Committee evaluates our overall performance and approves performance bonuses based on the extent to which the goals of the Board of Directors have been achieved. In early 2005, the Compensation Committee determined that the opportunity for bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer should be closely linked to the Company’s financial performance and therefore established an annual bonus with the opportunity to earn bonus ranging from 50% to 100% of salary for stretch targets. Consequently, in 2005 Messrs. Schneider was eligible for a bonus of 50% of salary, with the criteria that the Company make an operating profit for fiscal 2005 as a whole. As an operating profit was not recorded for fiscal 2005, Mr. Schneider did not receive a bonus payment for 2005. In 2005 Mr. Moore was eligible to receive a bonus of 50% of his base salary, evenly split between three criteria: 1) no material weakness in internal controls for financial reporting; 2) achieve certain financial staff recruiting objectives by the end of Q4; and 3) reduce year over year Q4 G&A expenses by $450,000. Based on these criteria, Mr. Moore earned a bonus of $33,333 for 2005 which was paid out in 2006.
Equity Incentives. The Compensation Committee views stock option grants as an important component of its long-term, performance-based compensation philosophy. The Company provides long-term incentives to our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers through its 1997 Stock Plan. The purpose of the 1997 Stock Plan is to attract and retain the best employee talent available and to create a direct link between compensation and our long-term performance. The Compensation Committee believes that stock options directly motivate our executive officers to maximize long-term stockholder value. The options also utilize vesting periods that encourage key executives to continue in our employ. All options granted to executive officers to date have been granted at the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The Board of Directors considers the grant of each option subjectively, considering factors such as the individual performance of the executive officer and the anticipated contribution of the executive officer to the attainment of our long-term strategic performance goals. During 2005, we granted new stock options to Messrs. Schneider and Moore.
Executive Compensation Arrangement. To support the Company’s efforts to lower operating expenses, in September 2004 certain of our employees, including executive officers, were given the opportunity to receive options for 50 shares of our common stock for every $100 in voluntary salary reductions they elected to take for one year beginning in October 2004. Under this arrangement, salary reductions were in effect through September 2005 and the resulting stock options vested 100% one year from the date of grant, which was September 16, 2004. Messrs. Schneider, Moore and Overkott all participated in this compensation arrangement.
CEO Compensation. The compensation of Mr. Schneider, our Chief Executive Officer, consists of base salary, an annual bonus and stock options. The Board of Directors periodically reviews the Chief Executive Officer’s base salary and bonus and revises his compensation based on the Board’s overall evaluation of his performance toward the achievement of our financial, strategic and other goals, with consideration given to his length of service and to comparative chief executive officer compensation information. The Compensation Committee believes that our success is dependent in part upon the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer. In 2005, the Compensation Committee made no change to Mr. Schneider’s base salary of €350,000 and established an annual bonus heavily tied to financial performance. In September 2004, Mr. Schneider voluntarily reduced his base salary for the period of one year in exchange for additional options under the Executive Compensation Arrangement of September 2004, as described above.
No incentive bonus was earned by or paid to Mr. Schneider during 2005. During fiscal 2005, SCM granted new stock options to Mr. Schneider. Mr. Schneider’s salary in 2005, after voluntary reductions, was €280,000, which was the equivalent of approximately $351,663 based on average exchange rates during 2005.
