OPTION EXERCISES AND FISCAL YEAR-END VALUES
There were no stock option exercises by the named individuals in 1999. The
Company did not reprice any existing options during the last completed fiscal
year.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
In August 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with each
of Michael C. Lowther, Wayne D. Diaz, Dennis R. Duffy, and Barbara A. Ferguson.
Each employment agreement provides for a three year term and a possible merit
bonus granted at the sole discretion of the Board. The minimum base salary of
Messrs. Lowther, Diaz and Duffy under their respective employment agreements is
$260,000, $260,000 and $160,000, respectively. The minimum base salary for Ms.
Ferguson under her employment agreement is $160,000.
In the event of the termination of the employee by the Company without
"cause," each employment agreement provides that the Company shall pay to the
employee an amount equal to the product of the employee's minimum base salary in
effect upon termination plus the total bonus paid or payable to the employee for
the most recently ended calendar year multiplied by the greater of either the
number of years remaining thereunder or two years.
Upon termination of employment either by the employee or by the Company (in
breach of the employment agreement or without cause) following a "change in
control" of the Company, the employee would be entitled to receive (i) his or
her full salary through the date of termination; and (ii) an amount equal to the
product of the employee's minimum base salary in effect upon termination plus
the total bonus paid or payable to the employee for the most recently ended
calendar year multiplied by the greater of ether the number of years remaining
hereunder or two years. In addition, upon termination, due to a "change in
control," the employee is entitled to continue to participate in all employee
benefit plans and programs in which such employee was entitled to participate
prior to the date of termination provided that such continuation is possible
under the terms of the plan or program for a period equal to either (i) the
greater of the number of years remaining in the term of employment or (ii) two
years. If, however, any payment required to be made by the Company to an
5
6
employee upon termination due to a "change in control," constitutes a "parachute
payment" (as defined in Section 280(g) of the Internal Revenue Code), such
payment shall be limited to the highest amount of such payment which can be paid
without constituting a "parachute payment." The employee may only elect to
terminate the employment agreement due to a "change in control" of the Company
during the period commencing 60 days and expiring 365 days after such "change in
control."
Following the expiration of the initial term, the employment agreements will
automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless the employee or the
Company notifies the other of his or its intent not to renew the agreement.
However, the Company may only decline to renew the agreement if the Company or
any of its subsidiaries does not meet the budgeted expectations for such
entities as determined by the Company's Board of Directors in the exercise of
reasonable discretion.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Directors who are not employees of the Company receive a $2,000 per Board of
Directors meeting attended (and $1,000 per committee meeting attended), plus
reimbursement of reasonable expenses. Directors who are employees of the Company
do not receive any compensation for acting as directors, except for
reimbursement of reasonable expenses, if any, for Board meeting attendance.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The Compensation Committee was formed in 1999 and currently consists of Bruce
Elieff and Matthew Fong.
There are no Compensation Committee interlocks or insider participation.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following report of the Board of Directors shall not be deemed to be
incorporated by reference into any previous filing by the Company under either
the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act") or the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 ("Exchange Act") that incorporates future Securities Act or Exchange Act
filings in whole or in part by reference.
COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY
The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to (i) provide
levels of compensation that integrate pay and incentive plans with the Company's
strategic goals, so as to align the interests of executive management with the
long-term interests of the stockholders; (ii) motivate Company executives to
achieve the strategic business goals of the Company and to recognize their
individual contributions; and (iii) provide compensation opportunities which are
competitive to those offered by other national title insurance companies and
other middle-market corporations similar in size and performance. Although the
exact identity of the corporations surveyed varies, these generally include
title companies and other corporations equal to or larger than the Company. Most
of the title companies surveyed are included in the Peer Group Index utilized in
the "Performance Graph" set forth below.
Therefore, the Compensation Committee believes that the components of
executive compensation should include base salary, annual cash bonus, stock
option grants and other benefits and should be linked to individual and Company
performance. With regard to the Company's performance, the measures used for
determining appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers include
the Company's national market share, net margin, quality of service, meeting
strategic goals within the current economic climate and industry environment,
scope of responsibilities, expansion by acquisition or otherwise, profit
retention and profitability, all of which combine to enhance stockholder value.
BASE SALARY
In determining base salaries for executives for 1999, the full board
considered the Company's earnings, outside surveys of salary levels of other
title agents, individual performance and achievement, areas of responsibility,
position tenure and internal comparability.
6
7
ANNUAL CASH BONUSES
Executive officers of the Company are eligible for annual bonuses which may
be paid in the form of cash. Given the Company's performance in 1999, the Board
of Directors approved 1999 bonuses for the executives which were paid in 2000.
STOCK OPTION GRANTS
As indicated above, an important element of the Company's compensation
philosophy is the desire to align the interests of the executive officers with
the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders. In order to meet this
desire, the Board of Directors and the Company's shareholders adopted a
performance-based stock option plan in 1999 for executive officers, key
employees and branch managers of the Company that allows participants to defer a
portion of their bonus income in order to reduce their option exercise price.
Additionally, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders had previously
approved the adoption of the Company's 1998 Stock Option Plan, pursuant to which
the Company may grant stock options to certain key employees and non-employee
directors or officers. The purpose of all the stock option plans is to attract,
retain and award executive officers and directors and to furnish incentives to
these persons to improve operations, increase profits and positively impact the
Company's long-term performance. Consistent with these objectives, the
Compensation Committee granted options in 2000 for their performance in 1999 to
executive officers as follows: (i) under the 1999 Stock Option Plan as follows:
Mr. Lowther, options to purchase 50, 000 shares; Mr. Diaz, options to purchase
50,000 shares; Mr. Duffy, options to purchase 50,000 shares; Ms. Ferguson,
options to purchase 50,000 shares.
Corporate Deduction for Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code generally limits to $1.0 million the corporate deduction for compensation
paid to certain executive officers, unless certain requirements are met. At this
time, the Company deduction for officer compensation is not limited by the
provisions of Section 162(m). The Committee intends to monitor regulations
issued pursuant to Section 162(m) and to take such actions with respect to the
executive compensation program as are reasonably necessary to preserve the
corporate tax deduction for executive compensation paid.

BOARD MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES
The Board of Directors held formal meetings during the year ended December
31, 1999.
The Board presently has an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee but
does not have a Nominating Committee nor an Executive Committee. The Audit
Committee, which consists of Messrs. Fong and Elieff, formed in March 1999. The
Audit Committee will meet independently with the internal audit staff,
representatives of the Company's independent auditors and representatives of
senior management. The Audit Committee has met one time and discussed the
general scope of the Company's annual audit, the fee charged by the independent
auditors and other matters relating to internal control systems. In addition,
the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and monitoring the performance
of non-audit services by the Company's auditors. The Committee is responsible
for recommending the engagement or discharge of the Company's independent
auditors. The Audit Committee has been very satisfied with its independent
auditors, KPMG Peat Marwick, LLP.
The Compensation Committee was formed in March 1999 and currently consists of
Messrs. Elieff and Fong. The Compensation Committee reviews and reports to the
Board the salary, fee and benefit programs designed for senior management,
officers and directors with a view to ensure that the Company is attracting and
retaining highly-qualified individuals through competitive salary, fee and
benefit programs and encouraging continued extraordinary effort through
incentive rewards.
