(4)                                 The amounts shown in this column constitute the cash bonuses paid to each named executive officer based on the attainment of certain criteria pre-established by the Compensation Committee and, with respect to Mr. Blair, by Mr. Mohaddes.  These awards are discussed in further detail under “Plan-Based Bonuses” below.

Plan-Based Bonuses

 

For Fiscal 2013, the potential compensation for Messrs. Mohaddes, Miele and Kreter included an annual cash bonus based upon criteria established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year.  The bonuses were entirely based on our corporate and business unit performance.  For the CEO and CFO, 90% of their potential bonus was based on the total revenue and operating income achieved by the Company for the year and 10% of their potential bonus was based on revenue achieved by the iPerform segment.  For Mr. Kreter, 50% of his potential bonus was based on the total revenue and operating income achieved by the Company, 40% of his potential bonus was based on revenue and operating income achieved by the Roadway Sensors segment, and 10% of his potential bonus was based on revenue achieved by the iPerform segment.

(1)                                The corporate revenue and operating income goals and the iPerform revenue goal were applicable to each NEO, and the Roadway Sensors revenue and operating income goals were applicable to Mr. Kreter.

 

The potential bonuses at target for Fiscal 2013 were as follows:  Mr. Mohaddes — $175,000; Mr. Miele — $115,000; and Mr. Kreter — $115,000.  If our performance for Fiscal 2013 exceeded the revenue and operating income targets set for bonus purposes, the executives could have earned an additional bonus of up to 50% of the target bonus award.  The full 50% additional bonus would have been earned by the NEOs if the Company had achieved the revenue and operating income goals set forth under the “Maximum” column above.  If the Company had achieved revenue and operating income which were less than the goals set forth under the “Maximum” column but more than the amounts set forth under the “Target” column, the additional bonus payable would have been proportional, or based on the level of the Maximum goal achieved when measured from the Target amount.  For example, if the performance had exceeded the Target goal by 25% of the difference between the Maximum and Target amounts, then 25% of the 50% additional bonus relating to such performance goal would have been payable.

 

In Fiscal 2013, our revenue and operating results for the Company and for the relevant business units were as follows:  Corporate Revenue — $61.7 million; Corporate Operating Income — $1.6 million; Roadway Sensors Revenue — $26.0 million; Roadway Sensors Operating Income — $1.6 million; iPerform Revenue — $3.3 million.  As a percentage of the targets set for bonus purposes, the results were as follows:  Corporate Revenue — 88.1%; Corporate Operating Income — 37.6%; Roadway Sensors Revenue — 78.8%; Roadway Sensors Operating Income — 32.8%; iPerform Revenue — 102.9%.  For bonus purposes, segment operating income results include certain corporate allocations.  Accordingly, based upon the above described criteria, bonuses in the following amounts were approved for Fiscal 2013:  Mr. Mohaddes — $39,039; Mr. Miele — $25,657; and Mr. Kreter— $20,871.

 

Mr. Blair joined the Company in July 2012 and was not included in the bonus plan described above for Fiscal 2013.  Pursuant to his offer letter, for Fiscal 2013, Mr. Blair was entitled to a bonus of up to $100,000 (with a guaranteed minimum of $50,000) based on criteria established by the CEO.  15% of the potential bonus was based on the total revenue and operating income achieved by the Company for the year, 20% of the potential bonus was based on revenue and operating income achieved by the iPerform segment and 20% of the potential bonus was based on the amount of backlog for the iPerform segment.  The remaining 45% of the potential bonus was based on Mr. Blair’s achievement of individual objectives focused on management of the iPerform business unit.  The minimum/maximum performance targets for Mr. Blair were as follows:  Corporate Revenue — $57.8 million/$74.8 million; Corporate Operating Income — $3.3 million/$4.5 million; iPerform Revenue — $2.8 million/$3.3 million; iPerform Operating Income — $(0.6) million/$(0.8) million; iPerform Backlog — $5.1 million/$6.0 million.  The amounts payable in connection with such targets were proportional, based on the level of the maximum goal achieved when measured from the minimum amount.  In Fiscal 2013, our revenue and operating results were as described in the paragraph immediately above and as follows:  iPerform Operating Income — $(0.7) million; iPerform Backlog — $3.3 million.  Based upon the above described criteria, Mr. Blair was paid his guaranteed bonus of $50,000 for Fiscal 2013.

Employment Contracts; Termination of Employment and Change of Control Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any employment contracts in effect with any of our named executive officers other than the agreements described below.  We provide incentives such as salary, benefits and option grants to attract and retain executive officers and other key associates.  The plan administrators of the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan have the authority to provide for the accelerated vesting of outstanding options held by an individual in connection with the termination of such individual’s employment following an acquisition in which these options are assumed or the repurchase rights with respect to the unvested shares are assigned or upon certain changes in control of the Company.  Other than such accelerated vesting and the agreements described below, there is no agreement or policy which would entitle any executive officer to severance payments or any other compensation as a result of such officer’s termination.

Agreement with Abbas Mohaddes

 

On July 29, 2013, we entered into an Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Abbas Mohaddes, our Chief Executive Officer, which combines and supersedes, to the extent such agreements were not previously terminated, his letter agreement with the Company dated July 27, 2010 and his Change in Control Agreement with the Company dated July 27, 2010 (collectively, the “Prior Agreements”).  The principal terms of the Employment Agreement are substantially similar to the Prior Agreements.  The Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years and thereafter renews automatically for successive one year periods until ten years after the effective date (such initial term together with any renewal periods, the “Employment Period”), unless either party provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 30 days prior to the end of the initial term or any renewal period.  Under the terms of the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mohaddes is entitled to an initial base salary of $380,000 per year, which may be increased from time to time at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors.  In the event that he is terminated without cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) during the Employment Period, Mr. Mohaddes is entitled to (i) salary continuation for 12 months following termination (or a lump sum payment equal to his base salary in the event the termination without cause occurs within 12 months after a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement)), (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 50% of his average annual target bonus for the two years immediately preceding the year of termination, payable no later than 30 days following termination, and (iii) reimbursement for the cost to continue health benefit coverage under COBRA for a period of up to one year following termination.  If his employment is terminated as a result of death or disability, then Mr. Mohaddes (or his estate) will be entitled to, in the case of death, a lump sum payment equal to 50% of his then effective base salary and, in the case of disability, salary continuation of up to 90 days until he is eligible for short-term disability payments.  In the event that he resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) after a Change in Control, in lieu of any other benefits under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Mohaddes will be entitled to (I) a lump sum payment equal to one year’s base salary plus an amount equal to 50% of his average annual target bonus for the two years immediately preceding the year of termination, payable no later than 30 days following termination, and (II) reimbursement for the cost to continue health benefit coverage under COBRA for a period of up to one year following termination.

 

Agreement with James Miele

 

On June 11, 2008, we entered into a change in control agreement with James Miele, our Chief Financial Officer.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, in the event of an involuntary termination (as defined in the agreement) of Mr. Miele’s employment in connection with or within 12 months after a change in control, Mr. Miele would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of one year’s base pay and 50% of his target bonus for the year, with such payment to be reduced to 50% of the annual base pay and 25% of the bonus if the involuntary termination were due to his voluntary resignation which does not occur within the first six months after the change in control.  In addition, Mr. Miele would have been entitled to receive reimbursement for the cost of COBRA coverage for a period of up to one year following the involuntary termination of his employment.  The agreement terminated on June 11, 2013.

 

Director Compensation

 

Directors who are not employees of Iteris or any of its subsidiaries receive an annual retainer of $28,000 per year, paid quarterly, with the Chairman of the Board receiving an additional $10,000 per year.  No additional amounts are paid for attending meetings.  In addition, each non-employee director who serves on a Board committee receives the following annual amounts, paid quarterly:  Audit Committee — $2,500 ($5,000 for the Chair); Compensation Committee - $1,500 ($3,000 for the Chair); Nominating and Governance Committee - $1,000 ($2,000 for the Chair); ad hoc committees - $500 ($1,000 for the Chair).  All directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of our Board of Directors and its committees.

 

Non-employee directors are also eligible to receive periodic option grants pursuant to the Directors’ Automatic Option Grant Program under our 2007 Omnibus Incentive Plan.  Under that plan, each non-employee director receives an option to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock upon his initial appointment to the Board of Directors and an additional option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock on the date of each annual meeting provided he has served on the Board for at least six months as of such annual meeting.  Each such option is immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares, but the shares acquired are subject to repurchase by the Company at the exercise price paid per share if the optionee ceases service with the Company prior to vesting in those shares.  Each option vests in full upon the optionee’s completion of one year of service measured from the grant date.  However, the vesting of each such option will accelerate in full upon certain changes in control of the Company or upon the optionee’s death or disability while a director.  Each option granted to non-employee directors under the Directors’ Automatic Option Grant Program will have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date and a maximum term of ten years, subject to earlier termination following the optionee’s cessation of service as a Board member.  Following the optionee’s cessation of Board service for any reason, each option will remain exercisable for a 12-month period and may be exercised during that time for any or all shares in which the optionee is vested at the time of such cessation of service as a director.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we can indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, and our bylaws require us to advance litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or officer to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification.  The bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such bylaws do not exclude any other right such persons may have or acquire under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, our directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to us and our stockholders.  This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law.  In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law.  The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

 

We have entered into agreements to indemnify certain of our directors and officers in addition to the indemnification provided for in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws.  These agreements, among other things, indemnify such directors and officers for certain expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Company, on account of services as a director or officer of Iteris, or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.

ITEM 13.            CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

Certain Transactions

 

Since April 1, 2011, other than the agreements and transactions described in Part III, Item 11 and the transactions described below, there has not been, nor is there any proposed transaction, where we (or any of our subsidiaries) were or will be a party in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed the lesser of $120,000 or the average of the Company’s total assets at year end for the last two fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

We previously subleased office space to Maxxess Systems, Inc. (“Maxxess”), one of our former subsidiaries that we sold in September 2003 and is currently owned by an investor group that includes two of our directors, Messrs. Daly and Slutzky.  The sublease terminated in September 2007, at which time Maxxess owed us an aggregate of $274,000 related to this sublease and certain ancillary corporate services that we provided to Maxxess.  In August 2009, Maxxess executed a promissory note payable to us for $274,000.  The promissory note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually, with accrued interest to be paid annually on the first business day of each calendar year.  Payments under the note may be made in bona fide services rendered by Maxxess to us to the extent such services and amounts are pre-approved in writing by us.  All amounts outstanding under the note will become due and payable on the earliest of (i) August 10, 2014, (ii) a change of control in Maxxess, or (iii) a financing by Maxxess resulting in gross proceeds of at least $10 million.  As of March 31, 2013, approximately $259,000 of the original principal balance and interest for calendar year 2012 of approximately $15,000 was outstanding and payable to Iteris.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the interest payment was received in full.

 

On July 23, 2013, the promissory note with Maxxess was amended and restated.  The amended and restated note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually, with accrued interest to be paid quarterly on the first business day of each calendar quarter.  Payments under the amended and restated note may only be made in cash and all amounts outstanding will become due and payable on the earliest of (i) August 10, 2016, (ii) a change of control in Maxxess or (iii) a financing by Maxxess resulting in gross proceeds of at least $10 million.
