accordance with Rule 14c-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the applicable Florida Statutes. This
Information Statement is first mailed to you on or about April 29,
2008.
The
enclosed information statement is being furnished to shareholders of record as

("Majority Shareholder Action") entitled to vote on the
record date. Our Board of Directors has reviewed and unanimously
approved all of the Proposals.

order to effect or ratify the proposals as early as possible in order to
accomplish the purposes of the Company as described in this Information
Statement, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to utilize the written
consent of stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the
Company.

REPORT OF
THE COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
THE FOLLOWING REPORT
OF THE COMPENSATION AND NOMINATING COMMITTEE OF
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL NOT BE
DEEMED "SOLICITING MATERIAL" OR TO BE "FILED" WITH THE
COMMISSION, NOR SHALL SUCH INFORMATION
BE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO ANY FUTURE FILING UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR EXCHANGE ACT, EXCEPT TO
THE EXTENT THAT
THE COMPANY SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATES IT BY REFERENCE INTO
SUCH FILING.
OBJECTIVES
The
Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for reviewing the
compensation arrangements for the Company's
executive officers, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the
Board, and for administering the Company's stock-based
compensation plans. The Compensation Committee was established in January 2005.
The Compensation Committee held two meetings in fiscal year 2007. The
director member of
the Compensation Committee in fiscal year 2007
and until April 23, 2007
was Lorenzo Lamadrid, who
was deemed to be an independent director by the
Company under applicable standards. Jeffrey Guzy was
appointed to replace Mr. Lamadrid as a director and member of the
Compensation Committee on May 3,
2007. Mr. Larry Sloven was appointed a member
of the Compensation Committee on May 3, 2007. The Company
believes that Mr. Guzy is an independent
director under applicable NASDAQ standards. Mr.
Sloven is not deemed to meet those standards because of his
company's product development and
outsourcing contract with the Company.
On
February 5, 2008, the Board of Directors changed the Compensation Committee to
be the “Compensation and Nominating Committee” with the same membership as
stated above. The charter of the new committee is on the Company’s
Web Site.
The
Company is looking for independent directors to fill
the Compensation Committee and, until such
candidates are found, Mr. Sloven is
being asked to sit as a member of the Compensation and
Nominating Committee.
It is the
Company's objective to
pursue compensation structures with the
public shareholders' interests and the Company's
business objectives, reward outstanding performance, be
externally competitive and internally equitable, and attract and retain best
available executive talent. We seek to achieve this goal
through a straightforward compensation package that relies on equity
compensation and limits cash compensation and perquisites.
The
Company seeks to foster a performance-oriented culture, where individual
performance is aligned with organizational objectives. Company performance is
the primary measure of success upon which we structure our
compensation.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee evaluates and rewards our executive
officers and directors based on their contribution to the achievement of short
and longer-term goals. Individual and departmental performance is factored into
salary increase decisions and stock option (long term incentive)
awards.
Executive
compensation is reviewed semi-annually, and adjustments are made to reflect
performance-based factors, as well as competitive conditions.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee, together with our board, establishes
compensation for our Chief Executive Officer and our other executive officers
and administers the 2005 Equity Plan. The Compensation Committee has a written
charter, which is available on the Company Web Site (located at http://www.chdtcorp.com).
The
purpose of our Compensation Committee is to:
|
•
|
|
discharge
the board’s responsibilities relating to compensation of our executive
officers;
|
|
•
|
|
administer
our stock option plans, stock purchase plans, restricted stock plans and
any other equity incentive plans adopted; and
|
|
•
|
|
provide
disinterested administration of any employee benefit plans in which our
executive officers are eligible to
participate.
|
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee did not use outside consultants in fiscal
year 2007. It used compensation arrangements by other microcap
companies to judge the appropriateness of the Company compensation
arrangements.
The
Company compensates people with:
Cash Compensation. Cash
compensation consists of base salary and annual bonus potential. Our
compensation consultant assists us in analyzing similar or “peer” companies to
guide our determination of appropriate cash compensation. Our cash compensation
goals for our executive officers are based upon the following
principles: (1) compensation levels are comparable to industry levels
as adjusted for experience and skills of individual officers; and (2) pay should
retain key personnel.
Discretionary Bonus
Program. In addition to base salary compensation, the Company
has a bonus plan covering the executive officers pursuant to which
cash bonus payments and equity awards may be made. Bonuses are calculated based
upon actual achievement of pre-established goals.
Incentive
Program. The Company believes that performance is
achieved through an ownership culture that encourages ongoing performance by the
executive officers. This is best achieved through the use of stock-based option
awards. All employees are eligible to participate in our sole plan, the 2005
Equity Plan. We also issue non-qualified stock options. Our equity
compensation goals for the executive officers are based upon the
following principals: (1) incentive compensation should retain key personnel and
reward loyal and productive employees, regardless of rank, and (2) individual
awards of stock-based compensation should reflect individual performance as well
as the importance of retaining such employee to our goal of achieving the
Company’s then current strategic goals.
Our sole
incentive plan is the 2005 Equity Plan, which allows us to grant
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock
units, performance shares, and other stock-based awards. Under our 2005 Equity
Plan, the Company can issue options to our officers, directors and
employees to purchase shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of such stock on the date of grant. The date of grant for
the executives is typically the date of a regularly scheduled board meeting, of
which we have at least six (6) per year, but can be made at the time of job
performance reviews.
Our
Company does not have a program, plan or practice to select option
grant dates (or set board meeting dates) to correspond with the release of
material non-public information.
The
Company does not have an Employee Stock Purchase Plan that provides employees
with the opportunity to purchase shares of the Common Stock. We will
consider adopting one in fiscal year 2008.
Our
practice was to make periodic annual equity grants to our
executives. In determining 2007 equity grants for executives, we
considered the importance of each employee to accomplishing our strategic
goals.
Benefits. The
Company provides the following benefits to our senior executives generally on
the same basis as the benefits provided to all employees: (1) health care and
dental insurance; and (2) paid personal and vacation leave.
The
Compensation and Nominating Committee believes that these benefits are
consistent with those offered by other companies and specifically
with those companies with which we compete for employees.
CODE OF
ETHICS.
The
Company has a code of ethics that applies to all of
the Company's
employees, including its principal executive officer, principal financial
officer and principal accounting officer, and its Board. A copy of
this code is available on the Company's website. The Company intends
to disclose any changes in or waivers from its code of ethics by posting such
information on its website or by filing a Form 8-K.
DIRECTOR
MEETINGS IN FISCAL YEAR 2006.
The Board
of Directors had six official meetings in fiscal year
2007. During fiscal year 2006, all of the
directors attended 75% or more of all meetings of the Board, which
were held during the period of time that such
person served on the Board or such committee..
SECTION
16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act requires the
Company's executive officers
and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent
of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file
reports of securities ownership and changes in
such ownership with the
SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater
than ten percent shareholders also are required by
rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely
upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company or
other written representations, the Company believes that all Section 16(a)
filing requirements were met during fiscal year 2007 by the Company’s directors
and officers; except: (1) Bart Fisher, an affiliate of the Company
(if one assumes his spouse’s shares of Common Stock are jointly held by Bart
Fisher), filed four Form 4’s on May 18, 2007 to report transactions from October
3, 2005 to November 20, 2006; (2) Howard Ullman filed a Form 4 on September 4,
2007 for a August 21, 2007 transaction and (3) Larry Sloven is filing
a Form 3 and Form 4 on April 29, 2008 to report his appointment as a
director and a 2007 stock option grant, respectively.
