Toward this end, Minorplanet USA has designed its 1994 stock option plan to support its ability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel necessary for its success and progress. Savings Plan. Minorplanet USA has a 401(k) Retirement Investment Profit-Sharing Plan that covers all of its employees once they become eligible to participate. As permitted under the 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute up to 20% of their pre-tax earnings. The maximum amount of contributions by any employee each year is $12,000, the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. Minorplanet USA matches 50% of an employee's contribution to the 401(k) Plan up to 6% of pre-tax earnings for a total potential matching contribution of 3% of the employee's pre-tax earnings.

In the event of a termination without cause, the employment agreement provides for payments equal to: - the balance of the compensation due under the agreement for the remainder of the initial term or any renewal term, with a minimum payment of six month's salary; and - continued medical insurance benefits at Minorplanet USA's expense for a period of twelve months.

Additionally upon a change in control or the termination of the employment agreement by Minorplanet USA for a reason other than cause, all stock options granted to the employee immediately vest. For purposes of the employment agreements, a change in control is defined as: - the subsequent acquisition by any person or group of 35% or more of Minorplanet USA's securities; - during any two year period, the members of the board of directors at the beginning of the period cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors unless the election or nomination of new directors by the stockholders was approved by 2/3 of directors still in office who were either directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved; - a merger of Minorplanet USA; other than a merger in which the stockholders of Minorplanet USA maintain more than 80% of the voting control in the surviving entity or a merger effected as part of a recapitalization of Minorplanet USA in which no person acquires more than 35% of the voting securities then outstanding; and/or - the approval by the stockholders of the complete liquidation of Minorplanet USA or the sale of substantially all of the assets of Minorplanet USA.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On June 21, 2001, Minorplanet USA completed the stock issuance transactions approved by its stockholders at the 2001 annual meeting on June 4, 2001. As part of these transactions, Minorplanet USA effected the 1-for-5 reverse stock split on June 5, 2001 that was approved by its stockholders. As a result of the closing of transactions contemplated by that certain Stock Purchase and Exchange Agreement by and among Minorplanet USA, Minorplanet Systems PLC ("Minorplanet UK") and Mackay Shields LLC, dated February 14, 2001, Minorplanet USA issued 30,000,000 shares of our common stock (post reverse stock split) in a change of control transaction to Minorplanet Systems PLC, which was the majority stockholder of the Company prior to the October 6, 2003 stock transfer to Erin Mills Investment Corporation ("Erin Mills") discussed below. In exchange for this stock issuance, Minorplanet UK paid the Company $10,000,000 in cash and transferred to the Company all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Minorplanet Limited and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mislex (302) Limited, now known as, Minorplanet Systems USA Limited, which holds an exclusive, royalty-free, 99-year license to market, sell and operate Minorplanet UK's vehicle management information technology in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Upon completion of the stock issuance transactions, and prior to the October 6, 2003 transfer to Erin Mills, Minorplanet UK beneficially owned approximately 62% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, which is the sole voting security of the Company. Minorplanet USA also issued 12,670,497 shares of its common stock (valued at $1.60 per share) to holders of its Senior Notes due 2005 ("Senior Notes"), in exchange for the cancellation of Senior Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $80,022,000 (the "Exchange Offer"). On August 31, 2003, the total principal amount of Senior Notes that remains outstanding is $14,333,000. The foregoing stock issuance transactions are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Recapitalization." As a result of the Recapitalization, Minorplanet USA significantly reduced its indebtedness and related interest expense. In addition, Minorplanet USA acquired the VMI technology and commenced distribution of Minorplanet UK's VMI product in the United States. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Minorplanet USA appointed two additional directors to Minorplanet USA's board of directors that were designated by Minorplanet UK: Messrs. Robert Kelly and Andrew Tillman. Mr. Tillman was subsequently replaced with Michael Abrahams as one of the two Minorplanet UK Designees. The Purchase Agreement provided that Minorplanet UK had the right to designate two of the seven directors in the future (the "Investor Directors"), and to maintain proportionate representation on the board of directors and its committees. Given Minorplanet UK's then current ownership, however, it had the right to elect all director nominees if it decided to do so. In addition, the Purchase Agreement also provided that so long as Minorplanet UK had the right to designate Minorplanet UK Directors (i.e., it owns at least 5% of the outstanding common stock of Minorplanet USA), none of the following actions could be taken unless approved by all of the Minorplanet UK Directors: - any capital expenditure by Minorplanet USA that is not contemplated in any current annual budget which exceeds $200,000; - the hiring and firing of any Company officer or senior executive reporting to the chief executive officer who has an annual salary of $130,000 or more, or entering into employment agreements with these individuals or amendments to existing agreements; - the direct or indirect redemption, purchase or making of any payments with respect to stock appreciation rights and similar types of stock plans; - the sale, lease or transfer of any assets of Minorplanet USA representing 5% or more of Minorplanet USA's consolidated assets, or the merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification or other changes to the capital stock of Minorplanet USA; except as required under law, the taking or instituting of bankruptcy or similar proceedings; - the issuance, purchase, acquisition or redemption of any capital stock or any notes or debt convertible into equity; - the acquisition of another entity; - the entering into any agreement or contract which commits Minorplanet USA to pay more than $1,000,000 or with a term in excess of 12 months and requiring payments in the aggregate which exceed $200,000; 11 - the amendment of Minorplanet USA's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that would adversely affect holders of Minorplanet USA's common stock or Minorplanet UK's rights under the Purchase Agreement; - the exiting of, or entering into a different line of business; - the incurrence of any indebtedness or liability or the making of any loan except in the ordinary course of business; - the placing of any lien on Minorplanet USA's assets or properties; or - the adoption or implementation of any anti-takeover provision that would adversely affect Minorplanet UK. On October 6, 2003, Minorplanet UK transferred 42.1 percent (approximately 20.4 million shares) of Minorplanet USA's outstanding common shares beneficially owned by Minorplanet UK to Erin Mills, ending Minorplanet UK's majority ownership of Minorplanet USA. Following the share transfer, Erin Mills beneficially owned 46 percent (approximately 22.2 million shares) of Minorplanet USA's outstanding common stock, while Minorplanet UK retains 19.9 percent (approximately 9.6 million shares) of Minorplanet USA's outstanding common stock. In connection with the Minorplanet UK share transfer to Erin Mills, Minorplanet USA also obtained an option to repurchase from Erin Mills up to 19.4 million shares of Minorplanet USA's common stock at a price of $0.01 for every 1,000 shares, pursuant to that certain Stock Repurchase Option Agreement between Minorplanet USA and Erin Mills dated August 15, 2003. Gerry Quinn, the president of Erin Mills, currently serves on Minorplanet USA's board of directors. In addition, concurrently with these transactions, Minorplanet USA also reached the following agreements with Minorplanet UK: - Minorplanet UK irrevocably waived the approval rights granted to the Minorplanet UK Directors set forth above, including the right to appoint members to Minorplanet USA's board of directors, as are currently provided for in that certain Stock Purchase and Exchange Agreement dated February 14, 2001 and Minorplanet USA's bylaws; - Minorplanet UK waived $1.8 million of accrued executive consulting fees that it had previously billed to Minorplanet USA. - The exclusive License and Distribution Agreement, which grants to Minorplanet USA's United Kingdom-based subsidiary a 99-year, royalty-free, exclusive right and license to market, sell and commercially exploit the VMI technology in the United States, Canada and Mexico, was amended to grant Minorplanet UK, or its designee, the right to market and sell the VMI technology, on a non-exclusive basis, in the Northeast region of the United States. Minorplanet USA retained the right to market and sell the VMI technology under the Minorplanet name and logo in this Northeast region. - Minorplanet UK obtained anti-dilution rights from Minorplanet USA, under which it has the right to subscribe for and to purchase at the same price per share as the offering or private sale, that number of shares necessary to maintain the lesser of (i) the percentage holdings of Minorplanet USA's stock on the date of subscription or (ii) 19.9 percent of Minorplanet USA's issued and outstanding common stock. See the Form 8-K's filed by Minorplanet USA on August 27, 2003 and October 14, 2003 respectively, which contain additional information. 12 REGISTRATION RIGHTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE JUNE 21, 2001 RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTIONS The holders of Minorplanet USA's common stock that acquired their shares pursuant to the June 21, 2001 purchase agreement or the exchange offer transactions Minorplanet USA completed on June 21, 2001 are entitled to certain registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement Minorplanet USA also entered into with these stockholders. Pursuant to this registration rights agreement, 15,293,745 shares of Minorplanet USA's common stock (2,700,000 shares of which were owned by Minorplanet Systems PLC) were registered for resale under a Form S-3 registration statement that was declared effective with the SEC on October 23, 2001. On up to three separate occasions, but no more than twice in any twelve-month period, the holders of at least ten percent (10%) of Minorplanet USA shares that were registered are entitled to request that it undertake an underwritten offering of such shares if the proposed offering has anticipated aggregate proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 at the time of the request. Minorplanet USA is required to keep this Form S-3 registration statement effective until any holders entitled to sell shares of Minorplanet USA's common stock under it are otherwise entitled to sell such shares without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. In addition to the registration rights described above, pursuant to this registration rights agreement the holders of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the then outstanding common stock issued pursuant to the June 21, 2001 purchase agreement and exchange offer transactions are entitled to require Minorplanet USA, on up to five separate occasions, but no more than twice in any twelve-month period, to register shares of its common stock for resale if the proposed offering has anticipated aggregate proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 at the time the registration request is made. Also, subject to certain limitations, all of these stockholders that are deemed to be parties to this registration rights agreement are generally entitled to include such shares (a piggyback right) in any transaction in which Minorplanet USA sells its common stock to the public. The foregoing registration rights are subject to limitations as to amount by the underwriters of any offering and to black-out periods in which Minorplanet USA's management may delay an offering for a limited period of time. As of June 16, 2002, such stockholders were free to resell all of their shares subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3 On September 18, 1998, Minorplanet USA completed a registration of certain warrants and warrant shares under the Securities Act of 1933, when the SEC declared its registration statement on Form S-3 to be effective. Minorplanet USA was required to register these warrants and warrant shares under a warrant registration rights agreement it entered into as part of a debt offering completed in 1997. Under the terms of the warrant registration rights agreement, Minorplanet USA is required to use its best efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective until either the warrants expire or they all have been exercised, whichever occurs first. However, during any consecutive 365-day period, Minorplanet USA may temporarily halt the effectiveness of the registration statement on up to two occasions for no more than 45 consecutive days if certain conditions are met. The temporary halt must be in connection with a proposed acquisition, business combination or other development affecting Minorplanet USA, and the board of directors must determine that disclosure of the proposed development would not be in the best interests of Minorplanet USA. Minorplanet USA will not receive any income from the sale of the warrants by the selling warrant holders. However, if or when any warrants are exercised, Minorplanet USA will receive the exercise price for the warrant shares. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003, no warrant shares were exercised. REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8 In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase and Exchange Agreement, the stockholders approved Amendment Number 2 to Minorplanet USA's 1994 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which increased the number of shares of common stock available for issuance (on a post reverse stock split basis) to 5,100,000 shares. Accordingly, on October 10, 2001, Minorplanet USA filed a Form S-8 registration statement covering an additional 4,729,737 shares that may be issued under the Plan. On May 21, 2002, the stockholders approved Amendment No. 3 to the Plan which increased the number of shares of common stock available for issuance to 7,208,000 shares. These additional shares that may be issued under the Plan have not been registered for public resale at this time. 13 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
