TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2002 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
GENERAL
This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being mailed on or about April 5, 2002, to shareholders of Corillian Corporation, an Oregon corporation, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 8, 2002, at 10:00 a.m. local time, at the RiverPlace Hotel, located at 1510 Southwest Harbor Way, Portland, Oregon, and any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”). Our principal executive offices are located at 3400 NW John Olsen Place, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124.
Revocability of Proxies
A shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke that proxy at any time before it is exercised by filing with our Secretary an instrument of revocation, or a duly exercised proxy bearing a later date, or by personally attending and voting at the Annual Meeting.
Record Date and Outstanding Shares
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on March 18, 2002 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to vote at the meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 35,239,057 shares of our common stock outstanding.
Quorum and Voting
Each share of our common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. Under Oregon law, action may be taken on a matter submitted to shareholders only if a quorum exists with respect to such matter. A majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum.
If a quorum is present, a nominee for election to the Board of Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. For all other matters, action will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action.
Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions, if given. If no instructions are given, shares will be voted “FOR” (i) the election of the nominees for directors named herein and (ii) the recommendations of management on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for action at the meeting.
Proxies that expressly indicate an abstention as to a particular proposal and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted for any purposes in determining whether a proposal is approved and have no effect on the determination of whether a plurality exists with respect to a given nominee. Proxies and ballots will be received and tabulated by Mellon Shareholder Services, the Company’s transfer agent.
Solicitation of Proxies
This solicitation is being made on behalf of and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by us. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of our directors, officers, and regular employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone or other means without additional compensation. Brokers, nominees and fiduciaries will be reimbursed in accordance with customary practice for expenses incurred in obtaining proxies or authorizations from the beneficial shareholders. Your cooperation in promptly completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card will help avoid additional expense.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Barrett, Whipple, McCoy and Spooner. Mr. Barrett is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee approves compensation of executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for reviewing and approving executive compensation programs and administering our stock incentive and executive compensation plans. The Compensation Committee also provides advice on a broad range of human resources issues including best practices in the areas of benefits, staffing, succession planning and general compensation.
The Compensation Committee believes that Corillian’s total executive compensation programs should be related to corporate performance. We have developed a total compensation strategy that ties a significant portion of executive compensation to achievement of pre-established financial results. The primary objectives of the executive Compensation Committee are to:
| | |
| • | Attract and retain talented executives; |
|
| • | Motivate executives to achieve long-term business strategies while achieving near-term financial targets; and |
|
| • | Align executive performance with Corillian’s strategic and tactical goals. |
We have base pay and bonus programs for our executive officers, as well as a 401(k) plan. These programs are designed to offer compensation that is competitive with compensation offered by companies of similar size and complexity within the software industry. The Compensation Committee uses comparative information from a group of companies in the software industry, particularly the Internet-based financial services software industry, for establishing executive compensation, general compensation structures and Corillian performance goals.
Base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are initially determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive marketplace for corporate executives. This includes a comparison of base salary and total compensation for comparable positions at other companies.
Annual salary adjustments are considered and determined by evaluating Corillian’s performance and each executive officer, and also take into account any new responsibilities and information about the competitive marketplace for corporate executives. The Compensation Committee, when appropriate, also considers non-financial performance measures that focus attention on improvement in management processes.
In July 2001, the Compensation Committee analyzed the compensation of our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and president and compared each officer’s compensation with the compensation of similarly situated officers of companies in the software industry, particularly the Internet-based financial services software industry. The Compensation Committee’s goal was to ensure that the base salaries of its executive officers were in line with industry averages. After conducting this analysis, the Compensation Committee adjusted the base salary of our chief executive officer from $240,000 per year to $300,000 per year and the base salary of our chief operating officer from $200,000 per year to $220,000 per year.
7
Our executive officers participate in an executive bonus plan, which is a quarterly cash incentive compensation plan. Corillian’s performance objectives and each executive officer’s personal objectives are established and approved by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Performance measures have established quarterly targets that determine the amount of cash payment under the plan.
The executive bonus plan for fiscal 2001 provided for quarterly bonuses based on Corillian’s revenue and gross margin and other operational metrics selected by the Compensation Committee. Each participant was assigned a percentage, which represented the percent of base salary that would be received under the plan if the plan criterion were met. The Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers received quarterly bonuses under this plan in the first and second fiscal quarters of 2001 but did not receive any bonuses for the third and fourth fiscal quarters of 2001. In total the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers received between 30% and 40% of their targeted fiscal year 2001 bonus.
All of our employees, including executive officers, are eligible to participate in our 2000 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan. The Compensation Committee approves all option grants, except that our President may approve option grants so long as the number of shares subject to the options granted to a particular individual does not exceed 30,000 in any twelve-month period. Guidelines for the number of options granted have been established and are reviewed periodically to ensure competitiveness. Actual grants are based on individual performance and contribution to our strategic success.

Audit Committee Report
The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Whipple, Jensen and Mohan. Mr. Whipple is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. All of the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand financial statements and have experience in finance and accounting that provide them with financial sophistication. Messrs. Whipple and Jensen are both independent directors, but Mr. Mohan may be deemed to not be an independent director under NASD Rule 4200(15)(d) because he is employed by Battery Ventures, an affiliate of the Company. While this member does not meet the definition of independence of NASD Rule 4200(15)(d), the Board of Directors has determined in its business judgment that the best interests of the company and its shareholders require Mr. Mohan’s membership on the Audit Committee.
| |
| Duties and Responsibilities |
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors and the written charter of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee
| | |
| • | recommends the selection, retention or replacement of our independent auditor, and ensures the independence of the auditor through an analysis of written statements delineating all relationships between the auditor and Corillian and by engaging in dialogue with the auditor regarding any relationships that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor; |
8
| | |
| • | reviews the scope and results of the annual independent audit of the books and records of Corillian; |
|
| • | reviews the adequacy of internal accounting, financial and operating controls; |
|
| • | reviews procedures to ensure compliance with applicable financial reporting requirements of government agencies; and |
|
| • | performs such other duties as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. |
In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent accountants to review and discuss the December 31, 2001 financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent accountants the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee also received written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm’s independence.
Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent accountants, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the independent accountants, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in Corillian’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Employment, Change in Control and Severance Agreements
In January 2001, we entered into an employment agreement with Alex P. Hart to serve as President. The term of the agreement is two years. Mr. Hart’s base compensation is $235,000 per year for the term of the agreement. He also received a signing bonus of $75,000 in January 2001, and we agreed to pay his relocation expenses in moving from Bellevue, Washington to Portland, Oregon. Mr. Hart may be terminated without cause or for cause, disability or death. If Mr. Hart is terminated without cause during the term of the agreement, he is entitled to exercise 50% of the then unvested portion of the stock option granted to him in January 2001. Mr. Hart has the right to terminate his employment if Mr. Spooner is no longer Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Hart is not made Chief Executive Officer. If Mr. Hart terminates his employment for this reason, he is entitled to receive one year’s base salary and may exercise 50% of the then unvested portion of the stock option granted to him in January 2001. Pursuant to Mr. Hart’s agreement, we extended a $300,000 short-term loan to him to assist him in purchasing a house in Portland, Oregon while he was in the process of selling his house in Bellevue, Washington. The loan is interest-free and is secured by all assets of Mr. Hart. Mr. Hart has paid $140,000 of the principal amount of the note, and $160,000 of the principal amount remains outstanding.
In February 2002, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized Corillian to enter into severance agreements with nine employees of the company, including the executive officers. These severance agreements provide for severance payments to be made to these employees if they are terminated without cause within one year after a change in control of Corillian. The severance payment that would be made to each of these employees depends upon the seniority of the individual and the length of the individual’s employment with Corillian. For example, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer would each be entitled to a severance payment equal to two years’ of his base compensation, the maximum amount permitted under the agreements.
Related Party Transactions
In August 2001, we advanced $100,000 to Andrew White in exchange for a note from Mr. White. The note bears interest at seven percent per year and is payable from the net proceeds of any bonuses or commissions payable to Mr. White. As of December 31, 2001, $98,537 remained outstanding under this note.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our directors and executive officers and any persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of our common stock to report their initial ownership of common stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Specific due dates for such reports have been established. Persons subject to the Section 16(a) reporting requirements are required to furnish the Company copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file with the SEC. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to us and representations that no other reports are required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such reporting persons were complied with in 2001.
