TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On May 11, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of AXS-One Inc. (“AXS-One” or the “Company”) implemented a Working Capital Incentive Program (the “Program”) for six employees of the Company, including William P. Lyons, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Joseph P. Dwyer, its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and Philip L. Rugani, its Executive Vice President, Field Operations.
The Program, which is effective as of April 30, 2009, has been formulated as an incentive for management to improve AXS-One’s working capital position in connection with the contemplated merger of the Company with a subsidiary of Unify Corporation. Under the Program, participants will receive a bonus based on improvement in working capital over negative $2.5 million as of the closing date of the Unify merger. For each dollar of working capital improvement in excess of negative $2.5 million, 30% of such improvement will be allocated to a bonus pool to be distributed to Program participants. Working capital for this purpose is as defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 16, 2009 between AXS-One, Unify Corporation and UCAC, Inc. Additionally, working capital for this purpose will be calculated after appropriate accruals for any liability or payment to the AXS-One management team for the recapture of salary reductions pursuant to their current employment agreements, after appropriate accruals for any liability or payment made in connection with management’s current bonus plans which are tied to the achievement of positive EBITDA, and after accrual for any bonuses earned under the Program.
Of the total bonus pool pursuant to the Program, the percentages thereof payable to the executive officers are as follows: Mr. Lyons — 30.49%; Mr. Dwyer — 22.86%; and Mr. Rugani — 25.41%. Any such bonus will be paid within 15 days after the determination of the working capital pool amounts, but in no event later than 45 days after the closing of the Unify merger. In the event that the Unify merger is not completed, no payments will be made under the Program.
