Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Such persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Based solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater-than-10% stockholders were complied with, except that Glenn L.

These materials are available free of charge by writing to SAFLINK’s corporate secretary at 777 108th Avenue NE, Suite 2100, Bellevue, Washington 98004. Any substantive amendment or waiver of these codes may be made only by the board of directors upon a recommendation of the audit committee, and we intend to disclose any such amendment or waiver on our website at www.saflink.com. In addition, we will disclose any waiver of these codes for directors and executive officers by filing a current report on Form 8-K with the SEC.

(1) Potential gains are net of exercise price, but before taxes associated with exercise. These amounts represent certain assumed rates of appreciation only, based on SEC rules, and therefore are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation, if any, in our stock price. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises are dependent on the future performance of the common stock, overall market conditions and the option holders’ continued employment through the vesting period. The amounts reflected in this table may not necessarily be achieved.
(2) All options were granted pursuant to our 2000 stock incentive plan and have a ten year term. Options granted under our 2000 stock incentive plan generally become vested on a monthly basis over a 36-month period, but are not exercisable until optionee has been employed with us for nine months, and they remain exercisable subject to the optionee’s continuous employment with us. Under our 2000 stock incentive plan, our board of directors retains discretion to modify the terms, including the prices, of outstanding options.
(3) All options were granted at market value on the date of grant.

Compensation of Directors

 

Our directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the board of directors and committee meetings. Our board of directors, after consultation with an independent compensation consulting firm and based on competitive data and the analysis of the consultation firm, determined the cash and equity compensation structure as set forth below to be paid to members of the board of directors and committees of the board of directors who are not employees, effective as of March 29, 2005:

 

    each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $25,000; each member of the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee receives an additional annual retainer of $15,000; and the chairpersons of the audit committee, the compensation committee, and the nominating and corporate governance committee each receives an additional annual retainer of $20,000;

 

    each non-employee director receives an additional fee of $500 per board and committee meeting attended (whether in person or telephonically), except that no meeting fee will be paid for the first four meetings (board meetings or committee meetings) attended by such director; and each such director shall be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings; and

 

    each new non-employee director receives an initial stock option grant for 40,000 shares upon commencement of service on the board; and each continuing non-employee director receives an annual stock option grant for 40,000 shares on the date of the annual stockholder meeting; with all such option grants becoming exercisable in twelve equal monthly installments following the date of grant if such person is still serving as a director at such time.

Employment Contracts and Change-in-Control Arrangements

 

Employment Contracts

 

In June 2001, we entered into an employment agreement with Glenn L. Argenbright, our president and chief executive officer. The agreement provides for the payment to Mr. Argenbright of an initial $100,000 minimum base annual salary, a $5,000 signing bonus, and a $100,000 bonus based on the achievement of certain objectives. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Argenbright was granted an option under our 2000 stock incentive plan to purchase 35,715 shares of our common stock, vesting in three equal increments on an annual basis. In the event of a sale, change of control or merger, or a termination of Mr. Argenbright’s employment with us, his options will fully vest and become immediately exercisable. Mr. Argenbright is also entitled to receive the equivalent of twelve months’ base salary if his employment with us is terminated for any reason other than cause or if the board of directors appoints someone else to the position of chief executive officer. Upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors has approved various modifications to Mr. Argenbright’s compensation since 2001, including an increase in his base salary to $240,000 effective as of June 22, 2004, and certain potential cash bonuses tied to our performance and targeted revenue objectives. On June 23, 2004, our board of directors also granted Mr. Agenbright a stock purchase right with respect to 301,928 shares of restricted common stock under our 2000 stock incentive plan, which he immediately exercised in full in exchange for his past service rendered to us.

 

On April 30, 2002, we entered into an employment agreement with Jon C. Engman, our chief financial officer. The agreement provides for the payment to Mr. Engman of an initial annual salary of $140,000. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Engman was also granted an option to purchase 182,000 shares of our common stock. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Mr. Engman’s employment with us is “at will” and his employment may be terminated anytime with or without cause. Upon the recommendation of the compensation committee, our board of directors approved an increase in Mr. Engman’s annual salary to $190,000 effective as of June 22, 2004.

On December 27, 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert L. Turbeville, Jr., our senior vice president of physical access systems. The agreement provides for the payment to Mr. Turbeville of an initial annual salary of $175,000. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Turbeville was also granted an option to purchase 125,000 shares of our common stock. Mr. Turbeville is also entitled to receive the equivalent of six months’ base salary if his employment with us is terminated for any reason other than for cause. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Mr. Turbeville’s employment with us may be terminated by us immediately for cause, or without cause upon 30 days’ notice.

 

Change-in-Control Arrangements

 

Retention Agreements. In addition to the employment arrangements described above, we have entered into retention agreements with each of Jon C. Engman, Gregory C. Jensen and Steven D. Rishel. These retention agreements provide that if the employee is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination (as defined in the retention agreements), then he shall be entitled to receive the compensation, accrued but unused vacation and benefits earned through the date of termination of employment, and severance payments equal to four, four and six months’ salary, respectively, payable in accordance with our standard payroll practices. However, if the employee is terminated as a result of an involuntary termination within two months prior to, upon or within twelve months following a change-of-control, then he will be entitled to receive the following: (a) the compensation, accrued but unused vacation and benefits earned through the date of termination; (b) severance payments between four and six months salary, payable in a lump sum within thirty days of the date of termination; (c) vesting of 100% of any unvested options as of the date of termination; (d) reimbursement of any COBRA premiums paid by the employee for continued group health insurance coverage of employee and his dependents for a period of up to twelve months after the date of termination; and (e) the laptop or other portable computer device used by the employee, if any, as of the date of termination.

 

2000 Stock Incentive Plan. Pursuant to our 2000 stock incentive plan, in the event of a change in control, if the acquiring company does not assume, or substitute new options for, all outstanding options, all shares subject to outstanding options will become fully vested and exercisable prior to the change-in-control.

 

Restricted Stock. On June 23, 2004, Glenn L. Argenbright acquired 301,928 restricted shares of our common stock. We may reacquire Mr. Argenbright’s shares of restricted common stock in the event that his service is terminated for cause, or if he voluntarily ceases to provide services to us without good reason, before June 23, 2007. In the event of a change in control, these shares will become unrestricted and will no longer be subject to a right of repurchase.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

 

On February 26, 2004, we raised approximately $9.2 million through a private placement of shares of our common stock. We sold a total of 3,080,000 shares of our common stock to a group of accredited institutional investors at a price of $3.00 per share. Investors also received warrants to purchase up to 1,232,000 additional shares of common stock. The warrants have a term of five years and an exercise price of $3.97 per share. S.A.C. Capital Associates, LLC, a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock, purchased 500,000 shares of common stock and 200,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock in the financing. The per share purchase price represented a discount of approximately 8.3% to the $3.27 per share closing sale price for shares of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on February 25, 2004, the trading day prior to the closing of the financing.

 

On July 20, 2004, certain holders of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of the our common stock exercised warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,473,806 shares of common stock for cash, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.8 million. In order to encourage early exercise of the warrants by the warrant holders, we agreed to reduce the exercise price with respect to the warrants from a weighted average exercise price of $3.36 per share to $2.50 per share. Included in this transaction were three beneficial owners of more than 5% of our common stock. As a result of their respective warrant exercises, S.A.C. Capital Associates, LLC was issued 445,262 shares of our common stock, SDS Capital Group SPC, Ltd. was issued 1,334,317 shares of our common stock, and North Sound Capital LLC was issued 2,331,977 share of our common stock.

 

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by KPMG LLP, our independent auditors, for the audit of our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, and fees for other services rendered by KPMG LLP during those periods.

Tax Fees (2)

   $ 18,000    $ 30,775

All Other Fees

   $ —      $ —  

(1) Audit Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our consolidated annual financial statements and review of the interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by KPMG LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
(2) Tax Fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning (domestic and international). These services include assistance regarding federal, state and international tax compliance and international tax planning.

 

Our audit committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to the particular category of services. The independent auditor and management are required to periodically report to the audit committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditor in accordance with this pre-approval. The chairman of the audit committee is also authorized, pursuant to delegated authority, to pre-approve additional services and such approvals are communicated to the full audit committee at its next meeting.

 

12


The audit committee has considered the role of KPMG LLP in providing tax services to us and has concluded that such services are compatible with KPMG’s independence as our auditors.

 

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and 2003, the audit committee pre-approved all services described above in the captions Audit Fees and Tax Fees. For fiscal 2004, no hours expended on KPMG LLP’s engagement to audit our financial statements were attributed to work performed by persons other than full-time, permanent employees of KPMG LLP.
