                                                                                                                        ____________________________

 

FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD APRIL 26, 2002

     This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of PCD Inc. (the "Company"). Such proxies will be voted at the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company to be held on Friday, April 26, 2002, and any adjournments or postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"), at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders dated March 25, 2002. The address of the Company's principal executive office is 2 Technology Drive, Centennial Park, Peabody, Massachusetts 01960-7977. The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being sent or given to stockholders is March 25, 2002. Stockholders of record at the close of business on February 28, 2002 (the record date) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting, each share being entitled to one vote.

     On February 28, 2002 the Company had 8,933,770 outstanding shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, ("Common Stock"). A majority of the shares entitled to vote and either present in person or represented by a properly signed and returned proxy will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions are counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum but will have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

     Under the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers ("NASD") that govern brokers using the Nasdaq National Market, brokers who hold shares in street name generally do not have the authority to vote on any items unless they have received instructions from beneficial owners. If the broker is also a member of a national securities exchange, however, NASD rules permit the broker to vote shares held in street name in accordance with the rules of the exchange. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, for example, a broker who does not receive instructions is entitled to vote on the election of directors.

     When a broker returns a proxy card but indicates that the broker does not have discretionary voting power and is not entitled to vote with respect to a certain proposal, this results in a "broker non-vote" on such proposal. In the event of a broker non-vote with respect to any proposal coming before the Annual Meeting, the proxy will be counted as present for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but the shares covered by the broker non-vote will not be considered voted or entitled to vote on that proposal. Brokers have discretionary voting power and are entitled to vote in the election of directors, and, accordingly, there are no broker non-votes on the election of directors. A broker non-vote would have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors.

     Under Massachusetts law and the Company's by-laws, each nominee for election as a director will be elected if he receives the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by stockholders entitled to vote and either present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Votes may be cast in favor of or withheld from the nominee; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and will have no effect.

     Any proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked in writing by the person giving it at any time before it is exercised. Under Massachusetts law, attendance at the Annual Meeting by a stockholder who has given a proxy does not have the effect of revoking such proxy unless the stockholder files before the voting of the proxy a written notice of revocation with the corporate Clerk at the Company's principal executive offices or at the Annual Meeting. The timely filing of a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or the voting of the shares subject to the proxy by written ballot cast at the Annual Meeting constitutes a notice of revocation. All shares represented by valid proxies received by the Board of Directors pursuant to this solicitation in time to be voted and not revoked will be voted. If the proxy indicates a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the direction made therein. Except as s et forth above with respect to brokers, if no direction is made, the shares will be voted as to each proposal in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors.

 

 

I. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Nominee and Continuing Directors

     The Company's by-laws provide that the number of directors shall not be less than the minimum number of individuals permitted by law and shall be determined from time to time by majority vote of the Board of Directors. In accordance with the by-laws, the Board of Directors has most recently fixed the number of directors at five. The Board is divided into three classes, with the terms of office of each class ending in successive years. Two directors of the Company are to be elected at the Annual Meeting, to hold office, subject to the by-laws, until the annual meeting of stockholders in 2004 or until his respective successor(s) have been elected and qualified. Certain information with respect to the nominees for election as directors proposed by the Company and the other directors whose terms of office as directors will continue after the Annual Meeting is set forth below. Although the Board of Directors contemplates that the nominees for election as direct or will be able to serve, if a vacancy in the original slate of nominees is occasioned by death or other unexpected occurrence, shares represented by proxies (except proxies marked to the contrary) shall be voted for the election of such other nominee(s) as may be designated by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors and Committees

     There were four meetings of the Board of Directors during 2001. All members of the Board of Directors attended all the meetings of the Board and the committees on which they served during the time of their tenure for the year 2001. Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any compensation for service as director. Each non-employee director is currently paid $750 per day for each Board meeting or committee meeting attended (except for those committee meetings held in advance of the Board meeting) plus an annual retainer fee in the amount of $5,000.

     The 1996 Eligible Directors Stock Plan of the Company (the "Directors Stock Plan") was approved by the Board of Directors on January 30, 1996 and thereafter by the Company's stockholders. Under the Directors Stock Plan, each newly-elected or appointed director who is not an officer or employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (an "Outside Director") who has not previously been granted an option to purchase shares of Common Stock will be granted, on the thirtieth day after the Annual Meeting or date of appointment as a director, an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. In addition, on the thirtieth day after each Annual Meeting held no earlier than six months after such initial election, each continuing Outside Director will be granted an option to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. A tot al of 36,000 shares of Common Stock are available for awards under the Directors Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2001, 15,000 shares of the Company's common stock were available for future grants and all of the 21,000 options which are outstanding under this plan were exercisable. Each such option vests six months after, and expires 10 years from, the date of grant of such option. No options may be granted under the Directors Stock Plan after January 29, 2006.

     The Board of Directors has two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee reviews the Company's accounting practices, internal accounting controls and financial results and oversees the engagement of the Company's independent auditors. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Brady, Mr. Switzer and Mr. York. Each of the Audit Committee members is "independent" as defined under the NASDAQ listing standards. The Compensation Committee reviews and recommends to the Board of Directors the salaries, bonuses and other forms of compensation for executive officers of the Company and administers various compensation and benefit plans, including the 1992 Stock Option Plan, the 1996 Stock Plan and the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The members of the Company's Compensation Committee are Mr. Brady and Mr. Stuart.

     None of the members of the Audit Committee or the Compensation Committee is a past or current officer or employee of the Company. The Board of Directors does not maintain a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions.

 

 

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

     During fiscal 2000, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors developed a charter, which was approved by the full Board in May 2000. The complete text of the charter is reproduced in the appendix to this proxy statement.

     The Committee has implemented procedures to ensure that during the course of each fiscal year it devotes the attention that it deems necessary or appropriate to each of the matters assigned to it under the Committee's charter. To carry out its responsibilities, the Committee met four times during fiscal 2001.

In overseeing the preparation of the Company's financial statements, the Committee met with management and the Company's outside auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers ("PwC"), to review and discuss all financial statements prior to their issuance and to discuss significant accounting issues. Management advised the Committee that all financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Committee discussed the financial statements with management and PwC. The Committee's review included discussion with PwC of matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees).

     PwC provided the Committee the written disclosures required by the Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and discussed with them matters relating to their independence under this standard. The Audit Committee has determined that PwC providing tax preparation and advisory services is compatible with maintaining such auditors' independence.

     Finally, the Committee continued to monitor the scope and adequacy of the Company's internal controls and internal procedures where appropriate. On the basis of these reviews and discussions, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Board approve the inclusion of the Company's audited financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Audit Fees

     The Company paid PwC $130,300 for financial statement audit and review services in 2001.

Financial Information System Design and Implementation Fees

     PwC did not perform or bill any fees for financial information system design and implementation services in 2001.

All Other Fees

     The Company paid PwC $74,800 for tax preparation and advisory services in 2001.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     The members of the Company's Compensation Committee are Mr. Brady and Mr. Stuart. Except for Mr. Dwight, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, no officer or employee of the Company has participated in deliberations of the Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation. No executive officer of the Company serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of the Company's Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Executive Compensation

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

Introduction

     The following report is provided by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors. The Committee supervises the Company's Executive Compensation Program and is directly responsible for compensation actions affecting the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (the "Chief Executive Officer"), other executive officers and other senior executives of the Company. The Committee, which consists entirely of non-employee directors, met one time in 2001.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

     The Company's Executive Compensation Program (the "Program") is designed and administered to relate executive compensation to four basic objectives:

     Competitive Position: The Program is designed to pay competitive compensation so the Company can attract and retain highly qualified executives. To assist it in determining competitive compensation practices, the Committee frequently utilizes information about compensation levels of other companies (including some, but not all, of the companies that comprise the performance graph peer group described below), including information provided by qualified independent surveys.

     Company Performance: The Program is designed to reflect the overall performance of the Company, with appropriate consideration of conditions that exist in the industry. In determining compensation levels and compensation changes, the Committee considers the Company's overall performance in meeting both short-term and long-term objectives. The Committee considers achievement of operating objectives in areas such as sales, earnings, entered orders and cash management, as well as progress toward long-term strategic objectives.

     Stockholder Return: The Program has been designed to establish a direct link between the interests of the Company's executives and its stockholders by allocating a portion of senior management compensation to stock option plans.

     Individual Performance: In addition to the above factors, the Committee considers the executive's individual performance and contributions to the Company's results in determining appropriate compensation levels.

The Executive Compensation Program

     Three general components of executive compensation are used to achieve the principles set forth above: base salary, a management incentive plan and a long-term incentive plan. PCD's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dwight, is evaluated and his compensation administered in the same general fashion as the other executive officers.

  • Base Salary: The base salary of each executive is reviewed annually by the Committee. Salary changes reflect the overall performance of the Company, pay competitiveness and the individual's performance. The targeted percentage of cash compensation represented by base salary varies based on the level of the position, with a target of approximately 60% for the Chief Executive Officer and approximately 70% for the other executive officers. 2001 base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and the other three executive officers are shown in the summary compensation table. Mr. Dwight's annual base salary was increased on January 1, 2001, but has not increased since that time. In deciding to leave Mr. Dwight's base salary unchanged since January 1, 2001, the Committee took into account the Company's financial performance during 2001.
  • Annual Management Incentive Plan: The Company's Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are eligible for annual cash bonuses. Payments of bonuses are based upon achievement of specified financial objectives determined by the Board of Directors at the beginning of each year. Financial objectives are based on the Company's budget and results of operations. Mr. Dwight's bonus was determined by comparing PCD's financial results to the financial goals described above. Mr. Dwight was not awarded a cash bonus for 2001.
  • Long-Term Incentive Plan: To ensure that management's interests are closely tied to stockholder return, a portion of senior executive total compensation is provided through stock-based, long-term incentive plans. To place emphasis on stockholder return, the Company has implemented two stock option plans, the 1992 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Stock Plan. Both plans provide for the award of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Awards to executive officers under these plans are included in the accompanying tables.

     The Company does not have an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer or any of its other executive officers providing for their employment for any specific term.

     No specific actions have been taken with respect to the $1 million compensation deduction limit under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code because the Company's compensation levels have never exceeded the limits and are not expected to exceed the limit by a material amount over the next several years.

Summary

     The Committee believes the Company's compensation program has been designed and managed by the Committee to directly link the compensation of the Company's executives to the performance of the Company, individual performance and stockholder return. The current levels of compensation for the Company's senior executives are generally below market levels for similar electronic connector companies. The Committee expects to address these compensation levels over time, consistent with Company and individual performance, and will continue to emphasize performance-based and stock-based compensation linking management and stockholder interests.

               C.  Any significant changes required in the independent accountants' audit plan.
               D.  Any serious difficulties or disputes between the independent accountants and management arising during the course of the audit.
               E.  Other matters related to the conduct of the audit which the independent accountants believe should be communicated to the Committee
                     under generally accepted auditing standards.

          2.   Review with management and the independent accountants interim results, including quarterly financial statements to ensure among other things, conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principals applied on a consistent basis with the prior year.

          3.   Review legal and regulatory matters that may have a material impact on the financial statements, related company compliance policies and programs and reports received from regulators.

          4.   Consider and review with the independent accountants and management:

                (a) The adequacy of the Company's internal controls including computerized information system controls and security.
                (b) Any related significant findings and recommendations of the independent accountants, together with management's responses thereto.

          5.   Provide an open avenue of communication between the independent accountants and the Board.

          6.   Inquire of management and the independent accountants about significant risks or exposures and assess the steps management has taken to minimize such risk to the Company.

          7.   Confirm and assure the independence of the independent accountants, including requiring the independent accountants to submit to the Committee a written statement summarizing all relationships between itself and the Company in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard 1.

          8.   Meet with the independent accountants and management in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Committee or these groups believe should be discussed privately with the Committee.

          9.   Recommend to the Board the selection , retention and discharge of the independent accountants and approve the compensation of the independent accountants.

         10.   Consider, in consultation with the independent accountants, the audit scope and plan of the independent accountants.

         11.   Meet at least two times per year or more frequently as circumstances require. The Committee may ask members of management or others to attend the meeting and provide pertinent information as necessary.

         12.   Conduct or authorize investigations into any matters within the Committee's scope of responsibilities. The Committee shall be empowered to retain independent counsel, accountants or others to assist in the conduct of any investigation.

         13.   Report Committee actions to the Board with such recommendations as the Committee may deem appropriate.

         14.   Perform other functions as assigned by law, the Company's charter or bylaws, or the Board.
