Interests of Directors

In connection with the Merger, the Company and each person who was serving as a director or an executive officer of the Company immediately prior to the Merger (each, a “Holder”) entered into a Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) with RWWI. Under the Stockholders’ Agreement, until the date on which RWWI ceases to hold at least 25% of the shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Designation Period”), the parties agreed, among other things, that (i) the Board will nominate three individuals designated by RWWI to serve on our Board (each, a “Designator Nominee”) and recommend that the stockholders vote to elect such Designator Nominees as directors, (ii) the Board will fill any vacancy that may arise upon the resignation, removal, death or disability of any of the elected Designator Nominees with a new director chosen by RWWI, and (iii) the Board nominate for election and recommend that the stockholders vote to elect our Chief Executive Officer to serve as a director (upon such election, the “CEO Director”) and that the initial CEO Director would be Mr. Dulude. Messrs. Charpie and Yie were most recently designated as Designator Nominees by RWWI, and Mr. Dulude was most recently designated as the CEO Director by RWWI.

During the Designation Period, each Holder also agreed to vote, and to cause each of his affiliates to vote, all of their voting securities held by such Holder or affiliate (i) for the election of Designator Nominees, (ii) against the removal of any elected Designator Nominee except for cause unless such removal is directed or approved by RWWI, (iii) for the removal of any elected Designator Nominee if such removal is directed or approved by RWWI, and (iv) for the election of a nominee designated to fill any vacancy created by the resignation, removal, death or disability of an elected Designator Nominee or the CEO Director. All Holders agreed to execute, and to cause their affiliates to execute, any written consents required to effectuate their obligations under the Stockholders’ Agreement.

The Company has entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreements”) with each of its directors (each, an “Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Indemnitees”). Under the Indemnification Agreements, the Company agreed to indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law against any liability arising out of the Indemnitee’s performance of his or her duties to the Company. The indemnification provided by the Indemnification Agreements is in addition to the indemnification required by the Company’s bylaws and applicable law. Among other things, each Indemnification Agreement indemnifies the Indemnitee (and under certain circumstances, investment funds affiliated with the Indemnitee) against certain expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Company, arising out of the Indemnitee’s service to the Company or to any other entity to which the Indemnitee provides services at the Company’s request. Further, each Indemnification Agreement requires the Company to advance funds to the Indemnitee to cover any expenses the Indemnitee incurs in connection with any proceeding against the Indemnitee as to which the Indemnitee could be indemnified. Each of the directors is an Indemnitee.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Employment Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

Compensation Philosophy

The Board maintains a separate Compensation Committee that is charged with establishing executive compensation. The Committee understands and values the vital impact that executive management has in achieving success for the Company and the creation of stockholder value, and it recognizes the highly competitive environment in which the Company must compete for top-level executive management. The overall objective in establishing executive compensation is to ensure that the Company can attract, retain, motivate and reward a high caliber, high performing executive team, which is continually focused on achieving long-term stockholder value. The Committee believes that the Company’s compensation program offers a competitive compensation package to all executive employees that takes into account both individual contributions and corporate performance. The Chief Executive Officer plays a role in recommending incentive plan compensation awards to the Compensation Committee and also serves as a director and votes on compensation matters of the senior management, except for his own compensation.


The Committee seeks to accomplish its goals by paying competitive base salaries augmented with performance-based incentives, and securing these benefits and the employment of the executives through written employment agreements when appropriate. Short-term compensation includes both base salary and performance-based cash bonus opportunities, while long-term incentives are generally in the form of equity based awards, with or without performance features. Both cash bonuses and long-term incentive plans align management’s interests with stockholders by incenting earnings growth and providing significant equity interest in the Company.

Base salaries are set at levels intended to foster career development among executives, consistent with the long-term nature of the Company’s business objectives. In setting base salary levels, consideration is given to salary levels paid to executives holding similar positions at other comparable organizations. Annual salary adjustments are determined after considering the executive’s performance during the immediately preceding year.

Employment Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

Messrs. Dulude and Rychlak are parties to employment agreements with the Company. Prior to the termination of his employment, Mr. Heeg was also party to an employment agreement with the Company.

Mr. Dulude’s agreement entitles him to an annual base salary that is currently set at $319,000 plus an annual bonus targeted at $228,000 for fiscal year 2014, based on his achievement of certain performance goals established from time to time, and subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee. The agreement also entitles Mr. Dulude to participate in any long term incentive plan that may be adopted by the Board. Mr. Dulude is also entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit programs to the same extent as, and subject to the same terms, conditions and limitations applicable to, other employees of the Company, including 401(k) plan participation, life, health, dental, accident and short term and long term disability insurance. The effective date of his agreement is January 1, 2011 and the agreement may be terminated by the Company or Mr. Dulude at any time without prior notice. If the Company terminates the agreement without “Cause” (as defined in the agreement) or in the event of Mr. Dulude’s death or disability, then Mr. Dulude is entitled to salary and benefits continuation for a period of twelve (12) months provided that Mr. Dulude (or his estate, as the case may be) executes and delivers a release and waiver of claims acceptable to the Company within twenty eight (28) days of the termination. The Company will be deemed to have terminated Mr. Dulude without “Cause” if Mr. Dulude terminates his agreement and any of the following events occur and the Company does not take action to remedy such event within 30 days of receiving notice from Mr. Dulude of such event: (i) the Company substantially reduces or diminishes Mr. Dulude’s duties and responsibilities without Cause; (ii) the Company reduces Mr. Dulude’s base salary (other than in connection with a proportional reduction of the base salaries of a majority of the executive employees of the Company); or (iii) the Company permanently relocates Mr. Dulude without his written consent to another primary office unless Mr. Dulude’s primary office following such relocation is within 50 miles of his primary office immediately before the relocation or his permanent residence immediately prior to the date of his relocation. If Mr. Dulude is terminated by the Company with Cause or if Mr. Dulude voluntarily resigns, then he is entitled only to the amount owed for work done prior to the termination or resignation. In connection with his employment agreement, Mr. Dulude executed an Employee Confidentiality, Assignment of Inventions, Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) pursuant to which he agreed, among other things, not to compete with the Company or any of its affiliates, during the term of his employment or for 12 months thereafter.

On August 7, 2010, in connection with the Merger, the Company and Mr. Rychlak entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement to ensure that Mr. Rychlak’s employment agreement complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, and to modify some severance provisions. Mr. Rychlak’s employment agreement calls for an annual salary which is currently set at $263,000 and is subject to annual review, and the right to participate in all benefit plans offered by the Company to its executive officers, including participation in the Company’s 401(k) plan, its equity compensation plans and its fringe benefit plans. In addition, the agreement provides for an annual bonus, targeted at $143,000 for fiscal year 2014, based on his achievement of certain performance goals established from time to time, or a discretionary bonus as determined and awarded by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Rychlak’s employment agreement provides for severance benefits if the Company terminates him without “Cause” (as defined in the agreement), if Mr. Rychlak terminates his employment for “Good Reason” (as defined in his agreement), or if he voluntarily resigns upon a “Change in Control” (as defined in the agreement). Severance benefits include the continuation of base salary and benefits (to the extent those benefit plans permit continued participation) 12 months after any of the aforementioned events. Under his agreement, Mr. Rychlak is prohibited from conflicts of interest and is required to maintain the confidentiality of nonpublic information regarding Rand and its customers. Additionally, Mr. Rychlak is bound by a covenant not to compete and not to interfere with other employees of the Company and its affiliates for a period of twelve months following his termination.


Mr. Heeg’s was terminated in September 2013.

At the time of his termination, Mr. Heeg’s base salary was $238,750 per year.

Executive Bonuses

The Company maintains an Annual Cash Bonus Plan which is designed to pay out cash bonuses based on the achievement of pre-established levels of annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA target”). For the year ended June 30, 2014, management exceeded the EBITDA threshold established by the Board Messrs. Dulude and Rychlak were awarded bonuses of $259,042 and $162,532, respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation/Equity Based Awards

The Compensation Committee believes that equity based compensation is among the most effective means of creating a long-term link between the interests of the Company’s stockholders and the performance of our organization and its executive team. Vesting schedules for equity based awards also encourage officer retention. To further this objective, the Company has adopted the Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) that was presented to, and approved by, its shareholders at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company previously maintained its 2002 Option Plan and the Avatech Solutions, Inc. Amended and Restricted Stock Award Plan (the “Stock Plan”) but those Plans terminated in 2012, but stock options granted under that plan were outstanding at June 30, 2014.

Under the Omnibus Plan, the Compensation Committee may award, and executives are eligible to receive, the following: (i) options to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; (ii) shares of Common Stock that may be subject to restrictions on transfer pending the vesting of those awards; (iii) stock units, which are similar to a stock award, except that no shares of Common Stock are immediately transferred to the participant and they have no voting rights; (iv) performance units, which represent the right of the participant to receive a share of Common Stock or an amount based on the value of a share of Common Stock, if specified performance goals are met; and/or (v) other stock-based awards that are based on, measured by or payable in shares of Common Stock to anyone eligible to participate in the Omnibus Plan, on such terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Under the Omnibus Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each award, the period of its exercisability and any restrictions imposed on the award are based on competitive market practices, Company performance, and the performance of the participant receiving the award. The Compensation Committee recommends, in its discretion, the form, number, and terms of equity based awards, and the full Board of Directors approves the awards.

In August 2013, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors approved the grant of stock options to Messrs. Dulude and Rychlak based upon the totals of previous awards and each executive officer’s performance. The stock options expire ten years from the date of grant, vest annually over a four-year period and have an exercise price of $0.98 per share. These awards were as follows:

(1) The changes in ownership that are expected to result from the Tender Offer filed with the SEC on October 3, 2014 and the related transactions would constitute a change of control under the Company’s existing stock option plans, resulting in the acceleration of the vesting terms of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of the expiration of the Offer.

Retirement Benefits

The Company has a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “401(k) Plan”). The 401(k) Plan is a defined contribution plan, which covers substantially all U.S.-based employees of the Company, or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, who have completed three months of service. Participants may elect a pre-tax payroll deduction up to $16,500 (if under age 50), or $22,000 (if age 50 or older by December 31st of any calendar year). The 401(k) Plan provides that the Company will match 100% of the participant salary deferrals up to 3% of a participant’s compensation and 50% of the next 2% of a participant’s compensation, or a total possible maximum matching contribution of 4% of a participant’s compensation, for all participants. The Company may also make discretionary profit-sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan for all participants who are employed on the last day of the plan year but has not done so for the plan year ended December 31, 2013.

Beneficial Ownership of Voting Securities

The following table shows information, as of the October 22, 2014, with respect to each person or group of persons, other than directors and executive officers of the Company, known by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s voting securities. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” voting securities if that person has or shares with others the right to vote those securities or to invest (or dispose of) those securities, or if that person has the right to acquire such voting or investment rights, as of October 22, 2014 (such as by exercising stock options or similar rights). The percent of class owned by each such person is calculated by dividing the number of voting securities beneficially owned by each person by the total number of voting securities actually outstanding on October 22, 2014. To the Company’s knowledge, subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all voting securities shown as beneficially owned by them.

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

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted policies and procedures to ensure that related party transactions are reviewed for potential conflicts of interest and that related party transactions are disclosed in SEC reports as and when required by applicable securities laws and regulations. The term “related party transaction” is generally defined as any transaction (or series of related transactions) in which the Company is a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of (i) $120,000 or (ii) one percent of the Company’s average total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any director, director nominee, or executive officer of the Company, any holder of more than 5% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, or any immediate family member of the foregoing persons will have a direct or indirect interest. The term includes most financial transactions and arrangements, such as loans, guarantees and sales of property, and remuneration for services rendered (as an employee, consultant or otherwise) to the Company. Every related party transaction is reviewed by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and is disclosed to and reviewed by the Board of Directors and is documented in the Corporate minutes. In addition to the Board’s general duties of care and loyalty, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware requires the Board to review and approve loans that the Company makes to employees and officers to ensure that such loans will benefit the Company.

There were no related party transactions during the last two fiscal years, and no related party transaction is currently contemplated for the current fiscal year that have not already been disclosed in the Company’s public filings.

Director Independence

The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Charpie, Kamin, Parpia and Yie is an “independent director” as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of The NASDAQ Stock Market Rules (the “NASDAQ Rules”), that each member of the Compensation Committee is an “independent director” as defined by NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2), and that Charlie Yie, the Audit Committee financial expert, satisfies the audit committee independence standards of NASDAQ Rule 5605(c)(2). Neither Mr. Dulude nor Mr. Rychlak is an “independent director” because they are current executive officers of the Company.

In making these independence determinations, the Board considered the effect of the Merger on director independence. In the Merger, RWWI received an aggregate of 34,232,682 shares (the “Merger Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the pre-merger Rand Worldwide, and the existing stockholders of the Company retained approximately 34% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. The Merger Shares represent approximately 63.4% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and approximately 57.5% of the outstanding voting rights of the holders of our capital stock, after giving effect to the voting rights of the Outstanding Preferred Shares. As a consequence of the Merger, RWWI became the controlling stockholder of the Company. RWWI is majority-owned by the Ampersand Funds.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Stegman & Company (“Stegman”) audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The following is a description of the fees billed to the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 by Stegman.

Audit Fees

Audit fees include fees paid to Stegman in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the review of interim financial statements. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by Stegman that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by Stegman.


Such services include consents related to SEC and other regulatory filings. The aggregate audit fees billed or expected to be billed to the Company by Stegman for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $153,000 and $163,000, respectively.

Audit Related Fees

Audit related fees include fees paid to Stegman for due diligence services related to accounting consultations, internal control reviews, and employee benefit plan audits. There were no audit related fees billed or expected to be billed to us by Stegman for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Tax Fees

Tax fees include fees paid to Stegman for corporate tax compliance, counsel and advisory services. The aggregate tax fees billed or expected to be billed to the Company by Stegman for the years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $42,000 and $40,000, respectively.

All Other Fees

There were no other services provided to the Company by Stegman during the years ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

Approval of Independent Auditor Services and Fees

The Audit Committee reviews all fees charged by our independent registered public accounting firm, and actively monitors the relationship between audit and non-audit services provided. The Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm and fees charged, subject to the de minimus exceptions for non-audit services described in Section 10A(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act. All of the services described above performed by Stegman were pre-approved by the Audit Committee, and none of the fees described above were paid to Stegman pursuant to the “de minimis” exception to the foregoing pre-approval policy.

The Audit Committee has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Stegman, and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining Stegman’s independence, respectively.
