EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of MeetMe, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company,” “MeetMe,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us” or “our”) for the year ended December 31, 2013 that was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 25, 2014 (the “Original Filing”) and is being filed primarily to provide the information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Part III. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above-referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year end. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in our Form 10-K because we do not expect to file our definitive proxy statement containing this information before that date. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing has been deleted. Except for the addition of the Part III information, the update to the cover page, and the filing of related certifications, this Amendment does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview
The following discussion provides an overview and analysis of our Compensation Committee’s philosophy and objectives in designing compensation programs as well as the compensation determinations and the rationale for those determinations relating to our Chief Executive Officer, Geoffrey Cook, our former Chief Executive Officer, John Abbott and our two next most highly compensated executive officers serving at the end of the last fiscal year, to whom we refer to collectively as our “Named Executive Officers.” Our Named Executive Officers for 2013 were Mr. Abbott, Mr. Cook, David Clark and Richard Friedman.
Executive Summary
The principal objective of our executive compensation program is to attract, retain and motivate individuals who possess superior knowledge, experience and skills that we believe are important to the advancement of our business. Specifically, our executive compensation programs are designed to attract and retain individuals with exceptional ability and managerial experience and align our Named Executive Officers' incentives with our corporate strategies, business objectives and the long-term interests of our stockholders.
The components of our compensation program include base salary, annual performance-based bonuses, long-term equity compensation and severance and change in control benefits. We utilize base salary and annual performance bonuses to incentivize company and individual performance in relation to competitive market conditions. Equity awards are primarily used to promote long-term stockholder value and employee retention through the use of multi-year vesting schedules that provide an incentive to the executive to remain in the employ of the Company through the end of the vesting period in order to share in any increase in the value of our Company over time. The severance and change in control benefits are used to help ensure we retain our executive talent. We believe that our executive compensation practices provide the appropriate mix of short and long-term incentives, minimize risk-taking among our executives and promote achievement of strategic objectives.
Determination of Compensation Elements
In early 2012, our Compensation Committee commissioned F.W. Cook &Co. (“F.W. Cook”), a compensation consulting firm, to conduct an independent review of our executive compensation program. As a result of the myYearbook merger in 2011, a number of our executive officers were new to the Company and the Compensation Committee determined that it would be beneficial for the executive compensation program to have an objective report on the compensation practices for the recently combined company. The purpose of the review was to provide a competitive reference on pay levels, performance alignment and shareholder considerations. F.W. Cook utilized the peer group designated in 2011, which is set forth below, to provide an executive compensation review of our overall executive compensation against that provided by our peer group. Certain of the companies were determined to be appropriate members of our competitor group based on the number of employees and the fact that they are competitor companies, while certain other companies were determined to be appropriate members of our competitor group based on their market capitalization or total shareholder return. In general, all of the companies in our peer group represent companies with which we compete for our executive talent. We may replace some of the companies in our peer group with others from time to time as market positions change, suggesting more representative peer companies. The comparator companies consist of the following:
● A.H. Belo | ● interclick | ● Majesco Entertainment |
● Constant Contact | ● Keynote Systems | ● Unwired Planet |
● Convio | ● Limelight Networks | ● Outdoor Channel |
● Evolving Systems | ● LIN Media | ● Web.com |
● Glu Mobile | ● Local.com | ● Zix |
In 2013, we used the F.W. Cook report and consulted with F.W. Cook in connection with the hiring of our new Chief Financial Officer and Chief Technology Officer. In addition we consulted with F.W. Cook on all compensation actions taken for our Named Executive Officers.
When determining our executive compensation policies in 2013, our Compensation Committee considered recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Cook, regarding the compensation for Named Executive Officers other than himself. Our Compensation Committee has the final authority regarding the overall compensation structure for our Named Executive Officers. As our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Cook will continue to recommend compensation for our Named Executive Officers other than himself. Mr. Cook does not participate in determining his own compensation.
Base Salaries
Our Compensation Committee generally establishes base salaries for our Named Executive Officers based on the scope of their responsibilities and the amount and type of work experience prior to joining us, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies to individuals in similar positions. Other than our Chief Executive Officer, our Named Executive Officers have base salaries that are generally consistent with the 25th percentile, based on our comparator group.
Name | Base Salary effective for Fiscal Year 2013 | |
Geoffrey Cook | $250,000 | |
David Clark | $312,000 | |
Richard Friedman | $300,000 |
Performance-Based Bonuses
The Company has a Management Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) that was established to promote the interests of the Company by creating an incentive program to (i) attract and retain key employees who will strive for excellence, and (ii) motivate those individuals to set and achieve above-average objectives by providing them with rewards for contributions to the financial performance of the Company.
The individual bonus awards payable to the participants in the Bonus Plan for a plan year shall be based on criteria determined by the Compensation Committee. It is anticipated that the criteria shall include (i) the Company’s achievement of specified Revenue goals determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, (ii) the Company’s achievement of specified Adjusted EBITDA goals determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, (iii) the Company’s achievement of other budgetary or new product targets determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, and (iv) the achievement of specified individual pre-established goals for each participant. The Compensation Committee shall determine the amounts and relative weighting of the goals in its sole discretion.
In June 2013, the Compensation Committee approved performance-based annual bonuses with a target amount of $200,000, $156,000, and $150,000 for Messrs. Cook, Clark, and Friedman, respectively. A portion of the bonus was based on the Company’s achievement of a certain Revenue target in 2013, a portion was based on achievement of a certain Adjusted EBITDA target in 2013, a portion was based on performance of new products, and a portion was subject to the Compensation Committee sole discretion. In choosing the performance criteria for the 2013 bonuses, the Compensation Committee determined that Adjusted EBITDA and Revenue were the best indicators of the Company’s success in 2013.
For Messrs. Cook and Clark, 35% of the bonus was based on achievement of the Revenue target, 35% was based on performance of new products, 15% was based on achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA target and 15% was subject to the Compensation Committee sole discretion. Upon partial achievement of the applicable Revenue, new products, and Adjusted EBITDA goals, the bonus amounts would be prorated in accordance with the formulas determined by the Compensation Committee. For Mr. Friedman, 30% of the bonus was based on achievement of the Revenue target, 45% was based on performance of new products, 10% was based on achievement of the Adjusted EBITDA target and 15% was subject to the Compensation Committee sole discretion.
“Revenue,” for purposes of the Bonus Plan, generally means the total dollar amount of revenue generated by the Company for products sold or services provided during a specified plan year, and will exclude revenue from companies acquired during the plan year. “Adjusted EBITDA,” for purposes of the Bonus Plan, generally means earnings (or loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization before restructuring expenses, merger related expenses, stock based compensation expenses and any other expenses associated with the relocation of the Company’s headquarters or the cost associated shutting down any segment operations. In determining whether the Company has achieved an Adjusted EBITDA target, certain bonus accruals under the Bonus Plan are included, and certain costs, as well as revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from acquired entities, and, all items of gain, loss or expense for such fiscal year determined to be extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence, or related to the disposal of a segment of a business, are excluded.
For 2013 performance, Messrs. Cook, Clark, and Friedman received bonus amounts under the Bonus Plan equal to $318,220, $248,211, and $199,511, respectively. 2013 Revenue resulted in 207% of the applicable weighted portion of each executive’s bonus being paid, new product performance resulted in 38% of the applicable weighted portion of each executive’s bonus being paid, and the 2013 Adjusted EBITDA resulted in approximately 390% of the applicable weighted portion of each executive’s bonus being paid. The Compensation Committee scored the discretionary portion at 100% of the applicable weighted portion of each executive’s bonus being paid.
Equity Compensation
Our shareholders approved the MeetMe, Inc. 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan in June 2012, which permits the Compensation Committee to award various types of equity based awards. Equity incentives form an integral part of the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers. In 2013, we granted time-based stock options and restricted stock awards (RSAs) to certain of our Named Executive Officers. We believe that stock options and RSAs provide a strong incentive to increase stockholder value. In 2013, no equity grants were made to Mr. Cook.
The stock options granted to our Named Executive Officers in 2013 vest and become fully exercisable upon a change of control of the Company.
Perquisites
We do not have programs for providing personal benefit perquisites to Named Executive Officers.
Broad-Based Programs
Our Named Executive Officers participate in our broad-based group health plan and 401(k) savings plan offered to all full time employees of the Company. There is no matching contribution provided by the Company during the year.
Stock Ownership Guidelines
While we do not have formal stock ownership guidelines or holding requirements, all of our current Named Executive Officers continue to hold a majority of the options granted to them upon vesting.
Pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy, the Company prohibits any employees, officers, directors or other individuals who are aware of material non-public information from buying or selling puts or calls of our stock (i.e., entering into a hedging transaction) and from pledging our stock as collateral for a loan (i.e., entering into a pledging transaction).
Material Terms of Named Executive Officer Employment Agreements and Post Employment Compensation
We have employment agreements with Messrs. Cook, Clark, and Friedman, which provide for special benefits upon certain types of employment termination events. We enter into employment agreements with our key executives, including the Named Executive Officers, as part of a competitive compensation and retention package.
Geoff Cook’s Employment Agreement
Effective as of July 19, 2011, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Operating Officer and President of the Consumer Internet Division, Geoff Cook. The employment agreement was amended effective March 6, 2013 and again effective August 8, 2013. Mr. Cook was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective March 11, 2013.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Cook receives an annual base salary of $250,000 per year. In accordance with Mr. Cook’s employment agreement, he received an option to purchase 450,000 shares of common stock, which vests and becomes exercisable as to one-third of the shares subject to the stock option on November 10 of each of 2012, 2013 and 2014. Mr. Cook is entitled to receive an annual target bonus equal to no less than 85% of the average of our Chief Financial Officer’s respective bonuses under the Management Bonus Program for the applicable year, to be paid in the equivalent value of fully-vested shares of MeetMe common stock or options to purchase shares of our common stock, provided that if and to the extent that the Chief Financial Officer’s bonuses are paid in cash, then Mr. Cook’s bonus would also be paid in cash. During the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Cook is entitled to participate in all health, life, disability, insurance and other benefit programs that the Company may offer to other key executives of the Company from time to time. Mr. Cook is entitled to six weeks of paid time off per calendar year (in addition to holidays), provided that no more than two weeks of paid time off can be used in any calendar month.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that the Company terminates Mr. Cook’s employment without “cause” (other than on account of death, disability or retirement) or Mr. Cook terminates his employment for “good reason,” in either case, whether before or after a change of control, then, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Cook (i) a lump sum amount equal to all compensation payable for services rendered to the Company, including unused vacation time and earned bonus, that was accrued and unpaid as of the date of termination of employment, (ii) a lump sum amount equal to two times Mr. Cook’s base salary, plus two times his target bonus as in effect immediately prior to termination, (iii) full vesting and exercisability of any outstanding stock options, which options shall remain exercisable for two years following termination, (iv) 12 months of continued benefits for Mr. Cook and his dependents under the Company’s life, health, accident and disability plans, if permitted under those plans, on the same cost-sharing basis as was applicable immediately before termination of employment (or, if not permitted under the applicable plans, or if the benefits under the applicable plans are materially reduced, six months of substantially similar benefits for Mr. Cook and his dependents), provided that such continued benefits will cease if Mr. Cook becomes eligible for benefits with a subsequent employer, and (v) full vesting of awards under all other compensation plans and programs not previously paid. The employment agreement provides that if the payments and benefits otherwise payable to Mr. Cook would constitute excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then the Company will reduce such payments and benefits to an amount that would avoid any excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that such reduction would provide Mr. Cook with a greater net after-tax benefit than would no reduction.
If Mr. Cook’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Cook for good reason, then Mr. Cook will be subject to non-competition and non-solicitation of customers and employees covenants for six months following termination, unless such termination occurs following a change of control, in which case, no such covenants will to Mr. Cook.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Cook’s employment is terminated on account of death, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Cook’s estate (a) a lump sum amount equal to the sum of all earned but unpaid base salary, three months of Mr. Cook’s base salary and bonus payments and a pro rata portion of his target bonus as in effect immediately prior to termination, (b) full vesting and exercisability of any outstanding stock options, which options shall remain exercisable for two years following termination, (d) three months of continued benefits under the Company’s life, health, accident and disability plans, if permitted under those plans, on the same cost-sharing basis as was applicable immediately before termination of employment for Mr. Cook’s eligible dependents, and (e) full and immediate vesting of awards under all other compensation plans and programs not previously paid. If Mr. Cook’s employment is terminated on account of Mr. Cook’s disability, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Cook with (1) a lump sum amount equal to the sum of all earned but unpaid base salary, (2) full vesting and exercisability of any outstanding stock options, which options shall remain exercisable for two years following termination, (3) 12 months of continued benefits for Mr. Cook and his dependents under the Company’s life, health, accident and disability plans, if permitted under those plans, on the same cost-sharing basis as was applicable immediately before termination of employment, and (4) full vesting of awards under all other compensation plans and programs not previously paid. Mr. Cook will be subject to the Company’s non-competition and non-solicitation of employees and customers policies under the employment agreement for a period of 12 months following termination on account of disability.
If Mr. Cook’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by Mr. Cook without good reason, Mr. Cook is only entitled to a lump sum of all compensation payable for services rendered to the Company, including unused vacation time and earned bonus, that was accrued and unpaid as of the date of termination of employment, unless the Company provides Mr. Cook with notice that it will enforce the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants in the employment agreement for up to six months post-termination. If the Company provides such notice and enforces such covenants, Mr. Cook will be entitled to receive, in periodic installments, an amount equal to (x) Mr. Cook’s base salary and target bonus in effect immediately prior to termination, multiplied by (y) the number of months that the Company enforced the covenants, divided by (z) 12.
For purposes of the employment agreement for Mr. Cook “cause” generally means the executive’s (i) willful misconduct or gross negligence that isn’t cured within 60 days following notice, (ii) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (iii) material act of dishonesty or breach of trust resulting or intended to result directly or indirectly in personal gain or enrichment at the expense of the Company, and “good reason” generally means (a) the Company materially breaches the employment agreement, (b) a material diminution in base compensation (other than an across the board reduction), (c) a material diminution in executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities, or (d) the Company requires the executive, without his consent, to relocate his office more than 75 miles from the current location.
The following table sets forth information regarding potential payments upon termination of employment or a change of control estimated as of December 31, 2013 for Mr. Cook under the terms of his amended employment agreement:

(3) Mr. Cook’s unvested options as of December 31, 2013 were under water.
(4) Includes value of continued health benefits
(5)As with our other Named Executive Officers, Mr. Cook is not eligible to receive a tax gross-up to the extent Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code apply to any payments or benefits he would receive. If the payments and benefits otherwise payable to Mr. Cook would constitute excess parachute payments within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, then the Company will reduce such payments and benefits to an amount that would avoid any excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided that such reduction would provide Mr. Cook with a greater net after-tax benefit than would no reduction. Based on our estimated calculations of the impact of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, Mr. Cook would receive a greater net after-tax benefit if all excess parachute payments are paid to him and the payments are subject to the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code than he would receive if the Company reduced those payments and benefits to avoid such excise tax.
David Clark’s Employment Agreement
Effective as of January 24, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Financial Officer, David Clark. The employment agreement has a three year term that automatically renews unless either party terminates the agreement upon 60 days’ notice.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Clark receives an annual base salary of $312,000 per year, is eligible for annual incentive compensation with a target amount equal to 50% of his Base Salary. The actual amount of such annual incentive compensation shall be determined in accordance with the applicable plans based on achievement of individual and Company performance objectives established in advance by the CEO or Compensation Committee. No minimum incentive is guaranteed.
As additional consideration for the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective on the Effective Date, Mr. Clark will receive a stock option to purchase 300,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s equity compensation plan and Executive’s execution of a stock option grant agreement (the “Option”). The exercise price of the Option will be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date. The Option will vest as to one-third of the shares subject to the Option on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining two-thirds of the shares subject to the Option will vest in substantially equal installments on a monthly basis over the following two years, subject to Executive’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date. Additionally, effective on the Effective Date, Executive will receive a restricted stock award of 75,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s equity compensation plan and Employee’s execution of a restricted stock award grant agreement (the “Restricted Stock Award”). The Restricted Stock Award will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to Executive’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that the Company terminated Mr. Clark’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause, in which case the Employment Term shall be deemed to have ended, effective upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Executive. Additionally, Mr. Clark may resign from his employment with the Company for Good Reason, in which case the Employment Term shall be deemed to have ended, with such resignation to become effective no later than the day immediately following the 120th day following the initial occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Company to renew this Agreement (for a reason other than Cause, death or Disability or Executive’s resignation without Good Reason) shall be treated as termination of Mr. Clark’s employment.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Clark’s employment is terminated on account of death, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Clark’s estate all base salary for the 12 months following the Termination Date, and in addition, as well as a pro rata portion of Mr. Clark’s target bonus under the Company’s Management Bonus Program through the month in which his death occurs. If Mr. Clark’s employment was terminated on account of Mr. Clark’s disability, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Clark with base salary earned but not yet paid.
If Mr. Clark’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by Mr. Clark without good reason, Mr. Clark is only entitled severance benefits or the 12 month period following the Termination Date and shall receive an amount equal to his periodic Base Salary payments (at the rate in effect immediately before the Termination Date), which shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices. Subject to Mr. Clark’s delivery and non-revocation of an effective Release, payments will begin on the first regularly scheduled payroll date that occurs after the 60th day after the Termination Date, and the first payment will include amounts not yet paid during the 60 day period.
Richard Friedman’s Employment Agreement
Effective as of August 19, 2013, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Technology Officer, Richard Friedman. The employment agreement has a one year term that automatically renews unless either party terminates the agreement upon 60 days’ notice.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Friedman receives an annual base salary of $300,000 per year, is eligible for annual incentive compensation with a target amount equal to 50% of his Base Salary. The actual amount of such annual incentive compensation shall be determined in accordance with the applicable plans based on achievement of individual and Company performance objectives established in advance by the CEO or Compensation Committee. No minimum incentive is guaranteed.
As additional consideration for the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective on the Effective Date, Mr. Friedman will receive a stock option to purchase 250,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s equity compensation plan and Executive’s execution of a stock option grant agreement (the “Option”). The exercise price of the Option will be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Effective Date. The Option will vest as to one-third of the shares subject to the Option on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining two-thirds of the shares subject to the Option will vest in substantially equal installments on a monthly basis over the following two years, subject to Executive’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date. Additionally, effective on the Effective Date, Executive will receive a restricted stock award of 150,000 shares of Company common stock, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s equity compensation plan and Employee’s execution of a restricted stock award grant agreement (the “Restricted Stock Award”). The Restricted Stock Award will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to Executive’s continued employment on the applicable vesting date.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that the Company terminated Mr. Friedman’s employment with the Company at any time without Cause, in which case the Employment Term shall be deemed to have ended, effective upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Executive. Additionally, Mr. Friedman may resign from his employment with the Company for Good Reason, in which case the Employment Term shall be deemed to have ended, with such resignation to become effective no later than the day immediately following the 120th day following the initial occurrence of the event constituting Good Reason. For the avoidance of doubt, a failure by the Company to renew this Agreement (for a reason other than Cause, death or Disability or Executive’s resignation without Good Reason) shall be treated as termination of Mr. Friedman’s employment.
The employment agreement provides that in the event that Mr. Friedman’s employment is terminated on account of death, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Friedman’s estate all base salary for the 12 months following the Termination Date, and in addition, as well as a pro rata portion of Mr. Friedman’s target bonus under the Company’s Management Bonus Program through the month in which his death occurs. If Mr. Friedman’s employment was terminated on account of Mr. Friedman’s disability, the Company is obligated to pay or provide Mr. Friedman with base salary earned but not yet paid.
If Mr. Friedman’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by Mr. Friedman without good reason, Mr. Friedman is only entitled severance benefits or the 12 month period following the Termination Date and shall receive an amount equal to his periodic Base Salary payments (at the rate in effect immediately before the Termination Date), which shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices. Subject to Mr. Friedman’s delivery and non-revocation of an effective Release, payments will begin on the first regularly scheduled payroll date that occurs after the 60th day after the Termination Date, and the first payment will include amounts not yet paid during the 60 day period.
For purposes of the employment agreements for Messrs. Clark and Friedman, “cause” generally means the executive’s (i) willful misconduct or gross negligence that is materially harmful to the Company or repeated despite notice, (ii) conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude, or (iii) material act of dishonesty or breach of trust resulting or intended to result directly or indirectly in personal gain or enrichment at the expense of the Company, and “good reason” generally means the Company (a) materially breaches the employment agreement, (b) fails to pay the executive his base salary or bonus due for more than 10 days, (c) materially diminishes the executives duties, (d) decreases the executive’s compensation, or (e) materially reduces the executive’s welfare benefits, other than an across the board reduction.
Tax Considerations
Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a publicly held corporation’s tax deduction for compensation paid to its chief executive officer or certain other officers in excess of $1 million in any year. Qualified performance-based compensation is excluded from the $1 million deductibility limit, and therefore remains fully deductible by the corporation that pays it. While deductibility of executive compensation for federal income tax purposes is among the factors the Compensation Committee considers when structuring our executive compensation arrangements, it is not the sole or primary factor considered. We retain the flexibility to authorize compensation that may not be deductible if we believe it is in the best interests of the Company.
COMPENSATION TABLES
The following tables reflect the compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer, our former Chief Executive Officer, and our two next most highly compensated executive officers serving at the end of the last fiscal year whose compensation exceeded $100,000, and who we refer to as our “Named Executive Officers” for 2013 and 2012.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Related Person Transactions
We have engaged in certain transactions in which some of our directors, executive officers and 5% shareholders had a direct or indirect material interest, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets for the last two completed fiscal years (not including employment agreements with our management). These transactions are described below. On January 29, 2007, our management adopted the Related Party Transactions Policy. The Related Party Transactions Policy applies to certain transactions between MeetMe and a “Related Party.” Under the Related Party Transaction Policy, management must present to the Audit Committee any such related party transactions that it is proposing to enter into. Any such transactions must be on terms comparable to those obtainable in arm’s length dealing with unrelated third parties and must be approved by the Audit Committee. Under the Related Party Transactions Policy, MeetMe must include disclosure of such transactions in its applicable filings made with the SEC.
On March 23, 2012, MeetMe started performing services relating to its Social Theater product under an oral arrangement with MATT, Inc., and on March 24, 2012, the parties entered into a written agreement regarding the same. MeetMe had provided approximately $6,000,000 of services under the arrangement. On March 5, 2013, the Company, AHMSA and MATT entered into an agreement to offset the Company’s $5,000,000 Subordinated Promissory Note dated January 25, 2008 (the “Note”) with approximately $6 million of accounts receivable that MATT and AHMSA owed to the Company (the “Receivable”). As of March 5, 2013, $6,254,178 in principal and accrued interest was outstanding under the Note, and the Receivable had a balance of $6,025,828 plus interest of $222,446 from the agreement. MATT exercised warrants dated October 17, 2006 at an exercise price of $2.75 per share (the “MATT Warrants”) to purchase 2,147 shares of common stock using the amount by which the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Note exceeded the amount of the Receivable. As a result of these transactions, both the Note and the Receivable have been deemed fully satisfied. In connection therewith, MATT has agreed to exercise or forfeit the MATT Warrants with an aggregate exercise price of $2,000,000 over an eleven-month period beginning in March 2013. At the conclusion of that period, MATT forfeited 727,277 warrants. The Receivable represented approximately 38.2% of our accounts receivable and approximately 50% of our working capital as of December 31, 2012.
Board Independence
As required by the NASDAQ rules, a majority of the members of our Board must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by our Board. Our Board consults with our general counsel to ensure that its determinations are consistent with all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in the applicable NASDAQ rules. The Board has determined Ms. Clifton, and Messrs. Ancira, Cruz and Rhodes are independent directors in accordance with the listing rules of NASDAQ. The Board has determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee, Ms. Clifton and Messrs. Cruz and Rhodes, are independent in accordance with the independence standards for audit committees under the NASDAQ listing rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. That Board has determined that each of the members of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Cruz and Mr. Rhodes, are independent in accordance with the independence standards for compensation committees under the NASDAQ listing rules and Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services on a case-by-case basis.

* The confidential disclosure schedules are not filed in accordance with SEC Staff policy, but will be provided to the Staff upon request. The agreement contains representations and warranties, which are qualified by the following factors:
(i) | the representations and warranties contained in the agreement were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties and not as a means of establishing facts; |
(ii) | the agreement may have different standards of materiality than standards of materiality under applicable securities laws; |
(iii) | the representations are qualified by a confidential disclosure schedule that contains nonpublic information that is not material under applicable securities laws; |
(iv) | facts may have changed since the date of the agreement; and |
(v) | only parties to the agreement and specified third-party beneficiaries have a right to enforce the agreement. |
Notwithstanding the above, any information contained in a schedule that would cause a reasonable investor (or that a reasonable investor would consider important in making a decision) to buy or sell our common stock has been included. We have been further advised by our counsel that in all instances the standard of materiality under the federal securities laws will determine whether or not information has been omitted; in other words, any information that is not material under the federal securities laws may be omitted. Furthermore, information which may have a different standard of materiality would nonetheless have been disclosed if material under the federal securities laws.

* The confidential disclosure schedules are not filed in accordance with SEC Staff policy, but will be provided to the Staff upon request. The agreement contains representations and warranties, which are qualified by the following factors:
(i) | the representations and warranties contained in the agreement were made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties and not as a means of establishing facts; |
(ii) | the agreement may have different standards of materiality than standards of materiality under applicable securities laws; |
(iii) | the representations are qualified by a confidential disclosure schedule that contains nonpublic information that is not material under applicable securities laws; |
(iv) | facts may have changed since the date of the agreement; and |
(v) | only parties to the agreement and specified third-party beneficiaries have a right to enforce the agreement. |
Notwithstanding the above, any information contained in a schedule that would cause a reasonable investor (or that a reasonable investor would consider important in making a decision) to buy or sell our common stock has been included. We have been further advised by our counsel that in all instances the standard of materiality under the federal securities laws will determine whether or not information has been omitted; in other words, any information that is not material under the federal securities laws may be omitted. Furthermore, information which may have a different standard of materiality would nonetheless have been disclosed if material under the federal securities laws.
