Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. Except as stated herein, this Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-K with the SEC on March 15, 2016 and no attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update other disclosures as presented in the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Form 10-K.

Corporate Governance





Shareholder Communications with the Board





We provide a process by which our shareholders may send communications to the Board, any committee of the Board, the non-management directors or any particular director. Shareholders can contact our non-management directors by sending such communications to the attention of the Secretary, c/o magicJack Vocaltec Ltd., 12 Haomanut Street, 1st Floor, Poleg Industrial Zone, Netanya 4250445, Israel or at www.vocaltec.com. Shareholders wishing to communicate with a particular Board member, a particular Board committee or the Board as a whole, may send a written communication to the same address. The Secretary will forward such communication to the full Board, to the appropriate committee or to any individual director or directors to whom the communication is addressed, unless the communication is unrelated to the duties and responsibilities of the Board (such as spam, junk mail and mass mailings, ordinary course disputes over fees or services, personal employee complaints, business inquiries, new product or service suggestions, resumes and other forms of job inquiries, surveys, business solicitations or advertisements) or is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, or harassing, in which case the Secretary has the authority to discard the communication or take appropriate legal action regarding the communication.




4





Code of Ethics





We have adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our directors, officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and other employees. A copy of our code of ethics is available on the Company’s Internet Website: http://www.vocaltec.com under the “Corporate Governance – Governance Documents” tab.  Amendments to and waivers from the code of ethics, as applicable, will be disclosed on the Company’s website.





Board Leadership Structure





Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association does not contain a policy on whether the roles of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined, with this decision being made by the Board based on the best interests of the Company considering the circumstances at the time. In addition, the Companies Law provides that the Chief Executive Officer, or his or her relative may not also serve as the Chairman of the Board unless the term does not exceed three years and such appointment is approved by the company shareholders in which (i) the majority of votes of non-controlling shareholders and shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the approval, and who are participasting in the voting, in person, by proxy or by written ballot, at the meeting (votes abstaining shall not be taken into account) or (ii) the total number of votes against the approval among the shareholders described in clause (i) does not exceed two percent (2%) of the voting rights in the company. Currently, the offices of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer are held by two different people. A recent amendment to the Companies Law provides that under certain circumstances the term of service for a company's Chief Executive Officer who also serves as the Chairman of the Board may exceed three years. The Chairman of the Board is Donald Burns, while our Chief Executive Officer is Gerald Vento. The Board believes that its independent, non-management directors, which currently make up four (4) of six (6) directors, provide a range of strong and independent views and opinions and sufficiently balance the governance needs of the Company. In addition, the Company’s non-management directors meet in periodic executive sessions without any members of management present. The purpose of these executive sessions is to promote open and candid discussion among the non-management directors.





Board Involvement in Risk Oversight and Risk Assessment of Compensation Practices





Day-to-day management of risk is the direct responsibility of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the senior leadership team. The Board has oversight responsibility for managing risk at the Company, focusing on the adequacy of the Company’s risk management and risk mitigation processes. The Board recognizes that an important part of its responsibilities is to evaluate the Company’s exposure to risk and to monitor the steps management has taken to assess and control risk. In addition to the discussion of risk at the Board level in connection with these strategic and operational areas, the Board’s standing committees also focus on risk exposure as part of their on-going responsibilities. As such, our Audit Committee focuses on oversight of financial risks relating to the Company, including financial reporting and disclosure risks.





Meetings and Committees of the Board





The Board





Each director is expected to devote sufficient time, energy and attention to ensure diligent performance of his or her duties and to attend all Board and applicable committee meetings. The Board met in person or by conference call eleven times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Each director attended at least 75% of all Board and applicable committee meetings during fiscal year 2015.





The Board has not adopted a policy with respect to Board members’ attendance at annual meetings of shareholders. One director attended last year’s annual meeting.





The Committees





The Board has the following standing committees: (1) Audit Committee, (2) Compensation Committee and (3) Nominating Committee. The composition of the committees for fiscal year 2015 is presented below. The Board has affirmatively determined that each director who currently serves on the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees is independent, as the term is defined by applicable NASDAQ and SEC rules.





Audit Committee





Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a publicly traded company must also appoint an audit committee, comprised of at least three directors, including all of the external directors, but excluding: the chairman of the board of directors, any controlling shareholder or a relative of a controlling shareholder (as defined below), any director employed by the company or by its controlling shareholder or by an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, any director who regularly provides services to the company or to its controlling shareholder or to an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, and any director who derives most of its income from the controlling shareholder. Any persons not qualified from serving as a member of the audit committee may not be present at the audit committee meetings during the discussion and at the time decisions are made, unless the chairman of the audit committee determines that the presence of such person is required to present a matter to the meeting or if such person qualifies under an available exemption in the Companies Law.




5





Under the Companies Law, a controlling shareholder is someone who has the ability to direct the activities of the company (other than due to a position in the company), including a shareholder who holds 25% or more of the voting rights in a public company if there is no other shareholder holding more than 50% of the voting rights at such time. There is a presumption that a shareholder that holds more than 50% of the voting rights in a public company is deemed to be a controlling shareholder.





In addition, the Companies Law requires that a majority of the audit committee members, as well as the majority of members present at audit committee meetings, be “independent directors”. An “independent director” is defined under the Companies Law as an external director or a director who meets the following conditions and who is appointed or classified as such according to the Companies Law: (i) the conditions for his or her appointment as an external director (as described above) are satisfied and the audit committee approves the director having satisfied such conditions; and (ii) he or she has not served as a director of the company for over nine consecutive years with any interruption of up to two years of his or her service not being deemed a disruption to the continuity of his or her service. An independent director is entitled to compensation and reimbursement of expenses similar to such entitlement of an external director.




The NASDAQ Listng Standards require that all members of our Audit Committee be comprised of directors who are “independent” as such term is defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Standards.




The purpose of our Audit Committee is to provide assistance to our Board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations with respect to matters involving the oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing, financial reporting and internal control functions of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as complying with the legal requirements under Israeli law, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Stock Market. The following are examples of functions within the authority of the Audit Committee:




·
To recommend to the Board and the shareholders the appointment, termination and approval of the compensation of, and oversee, the Company's independent auditor.




·
To communicate on a regular basis with the Company’s outside auditors and review their operation and remuneration.




·
To assess the Company’s internal audit system and the performance of its independent auditor and if the necessary resources have been made available to the independent auditor considering the Company’s needs and size.




·
To determine arrangements for handling complaints of employees in relation to suspected flaws in the business management of the company and the protection of the rights of such employees.




·
To discuss with management and the Company's independent auditor significant risks or exposures and assess the steps management has taken to minimize such risks to the Company; and




·
To decide whether to approve acts or transactions involving directors, executive officers, controlling shareholders and third parties in which directors, executive officers or controlling shareholders have an interest.




Our Audit Committee may not approve an action or a transaction with an office holder –or a controlling shareholder or an entity in which either of them has a personal interest unless at the time of approval the two external directors are serving as members of the Audit Committee and at least one of the external directors and a majority of the independent directors are present at the meeting in which an approval is granted. Under a recent amendment to the Companies Law, a company whose audit committee’s composition meets the requirements set for the composition of a compensation committee (as further detailed below) is entitled to have one committee acting as both audit and compensation committees.




As of the date hereof, our Audit Committee is comprised of Yoseph Dauber, Tal Yaron-Eldar and Richard Harris. The Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of the Companies Law, the NASDAQ Listing Standards and the enhanced independence standards for audit committee members required by the SEC. The audit committee met in person or by conference call six times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. Our Board has determined that Tal Yaron-Eldar qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is available on the Company’s Internet Website: http://www.vocaltec.com under the “Corporate Governance – Governance Documents” tab.

Compensation Committee





Under the Companies Law, the board of directors of a publicly traded company must also appoint a compensation committee, comprised of at least three directors, including all of the external directors, whom must comprise the majority of the compensation committee, but excluding: the chairman of the board of directors, any controlling shareholder or a relative of a controlling shareholder, any director employed by the company or by its controlling shareholder or by an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, any director who regularly provides services to the company or to its controlling shareholder or to an entity controlled by the controlling shareholder, and any director who derives most of his or her income from the controlling shareholder. The remaining members of the compensation committee must be directors who qualify to serve as members of the audit committee under the Companies Law, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market.





The NASDAQ Listing Standards require that all members of our Compensation Committee be comprised of directors who are “independent” as such term is defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Standards. In addition, the NASDAQ Listing Standards require that in affirmatively determining the independence of any director who will serve on the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors must consider all factors specifically relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship to the Company which is material to the director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a Compensation Committee member, including but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the Company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the Company, a subsidiary of the Company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the Company.




As of the date hereof, our Compensation Committee is comprised of Tal Yaron-Eldar, Richard Harris, and Yoseph Dauber. The Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee meets the independence requirements of the Companies Law and the NASDAQ Listing Standards, including the heightened independence requirements specific to compensation committee members required by the SEC.  The Compensation Committee has been appointed to recommend to our Board the compensation paid to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee has adopted a written charter. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is available on the Company’s Internet Website: http://www.vocaltec.com under the “Corporate Governance – Governance Documents” tab. Please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for discussion about our processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive and director compensation, the role of executive officers in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive and director compensation, and information regarding the Company’s use of compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee met in person or by conference call one time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, and had one update call where no resolutions were passed and minutes were not recorded. Additionally, certain resolutions were passed via unanimous written consent by the Compensation Committee on June 17, 2015 and December 1, 2015.


Nominating Committee and Director Nominating Process





Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board or by any shareholder holding at least one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting power in the Company. However, and without limitation of Section 63 of the Companies Law, any such shareholder may nominate one or more persons for election as a director at a general meeting only if a written notice of such shareholder’s intent to make such nomination or nominations has been given to the Secretary of the Company not later than (i) with respect to an election to be held at an annual general meeting of shareholders, ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, and (ii) with respect to an election to be held at an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders for the election of directors, at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of such meeting. Each such notice shall set forth:




·
the name and address of the shareholder who intends to make the nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated;




·
a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of shares of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons specified in the notice;




·
a description of all arrangements or understandings between the shareholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to be made by the shareholder; and




·
the consent of each nominee to serve as a director of the Company if so elected and a declaration signed by each of the nominees declaring that there is no limitation under the Companies Law for the appointment of such a nominee and that all the information that is required under the Companies Law to be provided to the Company in connection with such an appointment has been provided.




7




The Chairman of the meeting may refuse to acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the foregoing procedure.




The NASDAQ Listing Standards require that all members of our Nominating Committee be comprised of directors who are “independent” as such term is defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Listing Standards, except under exceptional and limited circumstances.




As of the date hereof, our Nominating Committee is comprised of Donald A. Burns, Yoseph Dauber and Tal Yaron-Eldar. The Board has determined that each member of the Nominating Committee meets the independence requirements of the NASDAQ Listing Standards. The Nominating Committee does not have a charter.  It evaluates all aspects of a candidate’s qualifications in the context of the needs of the Company with a view to creating a Board with a diversity of experience and perspectives.  The same evaluation procedures apply to all candidates for director nomination, including candidates submitted by shareholders.  Among a candidate’s qualifications and skills considered important are personal and professional integrity, ethics, and values; a commitment to representing the long-term interests of shareholders; experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; experience and/or academic expertise in the Company’s industry and with relevant social policy concerns; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; and practical and mature business judgment. The Nominating Committee gives consideration to a wide range of diversity factors as a matter of practice when evaluating candidates to the Board and incumbent directors, but there is no formal policy regarding Board diversity.




ITEM 11.             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION




Compensation Discussion and Analysis





The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding individual and company performance targets and goals used in setting compensation for our named executive officers. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of the Company's compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management's future expectations or estimates of future results or other guidance. The Company specifically cautions investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.





Compensation Philosophy and Objectives





The goals of our executive officer compensation program are to attract, retain, and reward executive officers who contribute to our success, to align executive officer compensation with our performance, and to motivate executive officers to achieve our business objectives. We compensate our senior management through a mix of base salary, bonus, and equity compensation designed to align management’s incentives with the long-term interests of our shareholders. In addition, we provide our named executive officers with benefits that are generally available to all employees of the Company. Compensation paid to our executive officers is made on a discretionary basis by our Board following approval by the Compensation Committee. In addition, shareholders must approve certain executive compensation, as described in more detail below.





Our Named Executive Officers in 2015 were Gerald Vento, Chief Executive Officer, President and Director; Jose Gordo, Chief Financial Officer; Timothy R. McDonald, our former Chief Operating Officer; Dr. Yuen Wah Sing, President of Tiger Jet Network, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and Director; and Keith Reed, General Manager – Senior Vice President Enterprise.





Setting Executive Compensation





At the 2013 annual general meeting of shareholders held on July 3, 2013, our shareholders approved the compensation policy that we submitted to the shareholders for their approval (the "Compensation Policy").  Under Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law which came into effect in December 2012, public companies were required to adopt a compensation policy with respect to the terms of service and employment of their directors and officers no later than September 2013.  The Companies Law requires that a compensation policy be reviewed and re-approved every three years and as a result, our Compensation Policy will need to be reviewed and re-approved by a special majority of shareholders at the 2016 annual general meeting of shareholders.





Amendment No. 20 to the Companies Law provides that the compensation policy shall be based, among others, on promoting the company’s objectives, its work plan and long term strategy,creating appropriate incentives for the company’s directors and officers, considering, among others, the risk management of the company, the company’s size and nature of its operations and, with respect to terms of service and employment that include non-fixed compensation, the contribution of the director or officer to achievement of corporate goals and increased profits, all with a long term view and taking into account the officer’s position.

The Compensation Policy includes both long term and short term compensation elements and is to be reviewed from time to time by the Company’s Compensation Committee and Board as required by the Companies Law. In general, the compensation package for officers will be examined while taking into consideration, amongst others, the following parameters: (i) the education, qualifications, expertise, seniority (in the Company in particular, and in the officer’s profession in general), professional experience and achievements of the officer; (ii) the officer’s position, the scope of his responsibility and previous wage agreements that were signed with him; (iii) the officer’s contribution to the Company’s business, profits and stability; (iv) the degree of responsibility imposed on the officer; and (v) the Company’s need to retain officers who have skills, know-how or unique expertise. Additionally, prior to the approval of a compensation package for an officer, the Company will conduct a wage survey that compares and analyzes the level and cost of the compensation package offered to an officer of the Company with the compensation packages offered to officers in similar positions in other companies of the same type and/or financial structure. The surveys are to be conducted internally or through an external consultant recommended by the Compensation Committee.





As provided in the Compensation Policy, the Company is entitled to grant to officers (to all or part of them) a compensation package which may include a base salary, commissions, sign-on bonus, annual cash bonus and share-based compensation, or any combination thereof, and additional standard benefits.





An engagement with an officer who is not a director, controlling shareholder (or relative thereof), or the chief executive officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, provided that the compensation is approved in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy.  Other approval requirements apply if the engagement is not in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy. An engagement with the Chief Executive Officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and by a special majority of our shareholders. In special cases, the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer may be approved without shareholder approval. Arrangements between the Company and a director as to the terms of his office or regarding compensation for non-directorial duties requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, Board and shareholders.





During 2013, the Compensation Committee selected and directly retained the services of Pay Governance, an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide a wage survey in accordance with the requirements of our Compensation Policy, prior to the approval of the compensation package of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. During 2014, the Compensation Committee did not retain the services of a compensation consultant. During 2015, the Compensation Committee selected and directly retained the services of Meridian Compensation Consultants, LLC ("Meridian"), an independent compensation consulting firm, to provide a wage survey in accordance with the requirements of our Compensation Policy, prior to approval of the new compensation package of our Chief Financial Officer and approval of the compensation package for our new General Manager and Senior Vice President of Enterprise.





2013 and 2015 Surveys for Chief Executive Officer; Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and GM-SVP Enterprise; Chief Executive Officer Extension





During 2013, Pay Governance developed a peer group analysis for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the level and cost of the compensation package to be offered to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer considering companies of similar size, as measured by trailing twelve months revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value, that operated in the same or complimentary industries, specifically telecommunications services, mobile services and solutions, cloud-based services, content-delivery network services and communications services.




The Compensation Committee considered the data and analyses prepared by Pay Governance that included the appropriateness of: (i) the amount of base salary, (ii) the annual incentive bonus potential and the performance metrics for achieving such bonus, (iii) the existence and amount of a signing bonus, (iv) the mix and vesting schedule for equity compensation, and (v) market practice with respect to other employment terms, with respect to each of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer compared to that of the peer group in 2013.  The peer group data was collected from Equilar and proxy filings reflecting the most recently disclosed compensation as of the time Pay Governance compiled the data in 2013.





Pay Governance reviewed with the Compensation Committee its analysis of the (1) base salaries, (2) bonus, (3) total cash compensation (salary plus annual bonus opportunity), (4) long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards and (4) total direct compensation (“TDC”) (salary plus annual bonus opportunity plus value of LTI payable to each Named Executive Officer (“NEO”)) to the 25th percentile, the 50th percentile and 75th percentile target opportunity of the peer group. The Compensation Committee used this peer group data to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices consistent with our Compensation Policy, ensure that it was acting in an informed and responsible manner and to make sure our executive compensation program was competitive. The Compensation Committee did not seek to set any elements of compensation at a specific percentile of the relevant peer group but, it did want to understand and be cognizant of the divergence of any of the compensation elements from the 25th percentile, 50th percentile and 75th percentile. The Compensation Committee did not conduct a peer group survey during 2014.

 In May of 2015, the Compensation Committee recommended that the Board approve extension of the the Chief Executive Officer’s Employment Agreement with the Company. The Employment Agreement was due to expire on December 31, 2015, and the Compensation Committtee recommended extension of the term through December 31, 2016 with no increase in base salary or annual target bonus and no additional equity compensation.  The Compensation Committee determined that such an extension was consistent with the Company’s Compensation Policy based on the peer group analysis performed by Pay Governance in 2013.




During 2015, Meridian developed a peer group analysis for the purpose of comparing and analyzing the level and cost of the compensation package to be offered to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Manager and Senior Vice President of Enterprise. The peer group companies considered companies of similar size, as measured by trailing twelve months revenue, market capitalization and enterprise value, that operated in the same or complimentary industries approved by the Compensation Committee in 2015 were as follows:




·
Cogent Communications Holdings, Inc.


·
8X8 Inc.


·
LogMeln, Inc.


·
Demandware, Inc.


·
Boingo Wireless Inc.


·
Spok Holdings Inc.

·

·

The Compensation Committee considered the data and analyses prepared by Meridian that included the appropriateness of: (i) the amount of base salary, (ii) the annual incentive bonus potential and the performance metrics for achieving such bonus, (iii) the existence and amount of a signing bonus, (iv) the mix and vesting schedule for equity compensation, and (v) market practice with respect to other employment terms, with respect to each of the officers reviewed compared to that of the peer group companies listed above.  The peer group data was collected primarily from proxy filings reflecting the most recently disclosed compensation as of the time Meridian compiled the data in 2015.

Meridian reviewed with the Compensation Committee its analysis of the (1) base salaries, (2) bonus, (3) total cash compensation (salary plus annual bonus opportunity), (4) long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards and (4) total direct compensation (“TDC”) (salary plus annual bonus opportunity plus value of LTI payable to each NEO) to the 25th percentile, the 50th percentile and 75th percentile target opportunity of the peer group. The Compensation Committee used this peer group data to obtain a general understanding of current compensation practices consistent with our Compensation Policy, ensure that it was acting in an informed and responsible manner and to make sure our executive compensation program is competitive. The Compensation Committee did not seek to set any elements of compensation at a specific percentile of the relevant peer group but, it did want to understand and be cognizant of the divergence of any of the compensation elements from the 25th percentile, 50th percentile and 75th percentile.  The Compensation Committee was aware that certain elements of the compensation package for Mr. Reed, effective as of December 1, 2015, and for Mr. Gordo, effective as of January 1, 2016, were at levels greater than the compensation paid to similar officers in the peer group companies, particularly with respect to base salaries in the case of Mr. Reed and long-term incentive awards for each of Messrs. Gordo and Reed. The Compensation Committee determined that the compensation packages for Messrs. Gordo and Reed were appropriate due to the decline of the core business, the unique challenges faced in repositioning the Company and the need to hire and retain executive talent, particularly in the current environment of intense competition in the industry and a volatile stock price.


Compensation Program





The primary components of the executive compensation program of our Company consist of base salary, discretionary bonuses, grants of ordinary shares, and health benefits.





Base Salary





In accordance with our Compensation Policy, the base salary of a new officer in the Company will be determined based on the parameters set forth in the Compensation Policy and discussed above.  The Compensation Committee and the Board may update the base salary of the officers (other than (i) officers who are controlling shareholders or their relatives or other officers’ compensation in which the controlling shareholder has a personal interest and (ii) officers who serve as directors) consistent with the terms of the Compensation Policy including the parameters specified above, provided that the Compensation Committee alone may approve an amendment to an officer’s base salary that does not increase such base salary by more than fifteen percent (15%).





Mr. Vento’s base salary in 2015 for his service as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was $500,000. Mr. Gordo’s base salary for 2015 for his service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company was $325,000. Mr. McDonald’s base salary for 2015 for his service as Chief Operating Officer of the Company was $350,000. Dr. Sing’s base salary for 2015 for his service as president of TigerJet Network, Inc. was $250,000. Mr. Reed’s base salary for his service as General Manager – Senior Vice President Enterprise was $350,000. The annual base salary amounts for Messrs. Vento, Gordo, McDonald and Dr. Sing remained at the same amount as their 2014 annual base salary levels. Mr. Gordo's base salary in 2016 for his service as Chief Financial Officer of the Company has been increased to $350,000.  Mr. Reed's base salary beginning December 1, 2015 has been set at $350,000.  We believe we provided the above executive officers with a level of base salary that recognized appropriately each individual officer’s scope of responsibility, role in the organization, experience, contributions to the success of our Company and the results of the peer group surveys conducted by Pay Governance in 2013 in the case of Messrs. Vento, Gordo and McDonald, and the peer group surveys conducted by Meridian in 2015 in the case of Messrs. Gordo and Reed.





Signing Bonus





Under our Compensation Policy, wemay grant a signing bonus to an officer, which may not exceed the officer’s initial annual base salary and will be subject to the limitations in the Compensation Policy.  A signing bonus will not be considered in calculating the maximum amount of the bonus (described below) payable to an officer following his initial year of employment. No signing bonuses were awarded to our Named Executive Officers during 2015.





Annual Cash Incentive Bonus





Under the terms of our Compensation Policy, our annual cash incentive bonus will be based mainly (at least 80%) on measurable criteria, and, with respect to its less significant part (up to 20%), at the Board and management’s discretion, based on non-measurable criteria.  Measurable criteria may include financial targets, meeting sales and marketing objectives, productivity indices and growth in the volume of activity, cost savings, implementation and promotion of planned projects, promoting strategic targets, promoting innovation in the Company and/or success in raising capital.





The remaining portion of the annual cash bonus (not exceeding 20% of the annual cash bonus) will be determined according to non-measurable criteria, such as the contribution of the officer to the Company’s business, its profitability and stability, the need for the Company to retain an officer with skills, know-how, or unique expertise, the responsibility imposed on the officer, changes that occurred in the responsibility imposed on the officer during the year, satisfaction with the officer’s performance, assessing the officer’s ability to work in coordination and cooperation with other employees of the Company, the officer’s contribution to an appropriate control environment and ethical environment and such other elements as recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board.

Based on our Compensation Policy and the peer group survey conducted in 2013, the Compensation Committee established the following annual cash incentive bonus structure for each of Messrs. Vento, Gordo and McDonald applicable for each of them during the year ended December 31, 2015 under the terms of their employment agreements.

The term "EBITDA" when used to describe the financial performance measure for the annual cash incentive bonus means earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization.





For bonus purposes, fiscal 2015 net revenues of $101.0 million were 98.9% of the 2015 target of $102.1 million and calculated EBITDA of $37.0 million was 117.2% of the target of $31.6 million. Based on the achievement of the target range, Mr. Vento and Mr. Gordo earned $706,063 and $211,819 for 2015, respectively, which is approximately 141% of their target bonus amounts. Mr. McDonald did not earn a bonus as his employment was terminated June 5, 2015.





Dr. Yuen Wah Sing is not eligible to participate in the annual cash incentive bonus program described above but is eligible to be awarded a discretionary bonus. Dr. Sing did not receive an annual discretionary cash bonus for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Sales Commissions





Under our Compensation Policy, we may pay our officers, sale and other commissions based on a pre-determined commission plan, which commissions will be considered part of the officer's aggregate compensation package subject to limitations in the Compensation Policy. None of our named executive officers received commissions for the year ended December 31, 2015.





Grants of Restricted Stock and Ordinary Share Options





Equity compensation consists of periodic grants of restricted stock and options exercisable for ordinary shares to certain of our executives under our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and our magicJack VocalTec Ltd. 2013 Israeli Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, (together the “2013 Plans”), to provide additional incentive to work to maximize long-term total return to shareholders. Award levels are determined based on market data and may vary among participants based on their positions within the Company, assessment of job performance, and other factors, including the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. A committee appointed by the Board is specified to act as the plan administrator. In 2015, our Board of Directors administered the plan directly and not through a committee.





On December 1, 2015, the Board awarded Mr. Gordo 192,926 shares of restricted stock and 499,307 ordinary share options in connection with Mr. Gordo’s agreement to enter into a new Employment Agreement with the Company effective as of January 1, 2016. On December 1, 2015, the Board awarded Mr. Reed 192,926 shares of restricted stock and 499,307 ordinary share options in connection with Mr. Reed's acceptance of the position of General Manager – Senior Vice President Enterprise effective as of December 1, 2015.  No grants of restricted stock or options were made to Messrs. Vento or McDonald during 2015. No grants of restricted stock or options were made to Dr. Sing during 2015.





Benefits





We provide various employee benefit programs to our executive officers, including: (i) medical and dental insurance benefits for our U.S. based employees, and (ii) a defined contribution retirement plan for our Israeli employees. These benefits are generally available to all full-time employees of our Company based on their location.





Separation Agreement and Consulting Agreement with Mr. McDonald





On June 5, 2015, the Company and Mr. McDonald entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the "Separation Agreement").  Pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement, the Company (i) paid Mr. McDonald a lump sum payment of $500,000, (ii) is reimbursing his COBRA costs for the twelve month period following the separation date, and (iii) accelerated the vesting of the remaining unvested shares of restricted stock granted to Mr. McDonald.

Under the individual employment agreements of our Named Executive Officers, upon a Change of Control, each Named Executive Officer would be entitled to receive the following estimated payments. These disclosed amounts are estimates only and do not necessarily reflect the actual amounts that would be paid to our Named Executive Officers, which would only be known definitively at the time that they become eligible for payment and would only be payable if a Change of Control or termination, as applicable, would occur. The table reflects the amount that could be payable to our Named Executive Officers, assuming that the Change of Control and, if applicable, termination of the Named Executive Officers employment, occurred at December 31, 2015:

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





Certain Relationships and Related Transactions





In our last fiscal year, there has not been, nor is there currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are to be a party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our ordinary shares or any members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.





Approval of Related Party Transactions Under Israeli Law





Under the Companies Law, an engagement by the Company with an officer who is not a director, controlling shareholder or the chief executive officer regarding his or her service and terms of employment, including an undertaking to indemnify, exculpate or insure such officer, must be approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, provided that the compensation is approved in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy adopted under the Companies Law. If the engagement is not in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy, approval of the engagement by the general meeting of the shareholders, including one of the following: (i) the majority of shareholder votes counted at the general meeting including the majority of all of the votes of those shareholders who are not controlling shareholders and do not have a personal interest in the approval of the compensation policy, who participate at the meeting (excluding abstentions) or (ii) the total number of votes against the proposal among the shareholders mentioned in paragraph (i) does not exceed two percent (2%) of the voting rights in the company (a “Special Majority”). In special cases, the Compensation Committee and the Board may decide to adopt the terms of such an engagement despite the objection of the shareholders, so long as such decision is based on detailed reasons and after discussing again such engagement and reexamining it in light of the shareholder objection.





An engagement with the chief executive officer of the Company regarding his or her service and terms of employment must be approved by our Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors, and by a Special Majority. In special cases, the compensation of the chief executive officer may be approved without shareholder approval if the candidate for chief executive officer is independent and the compensation committee determines, on the basis of detailed reasons, that convening a shareholder meeting to approve the engagement will frustrate the engagement, but only if the engagement complies with the compensation policy adopted under the Companies Law.





For all other transactions between an officer and the Company, the Companies Law requires audit committee approval followed by board of director approval if the transaction is deemed to be extraordinary, and only board of director approval if the transaction is not deemed to be extraordinary. Under the Companies Law, an “extraordinary transaction” is a transaction:





●
other than in the ordinary course of business;●
that is not on market terms; or●
that is likely to have a material impact on a company’s profitability, assets or liabilities.





Under the Companies Law, an engagement by the Company with a director  regarding the terms of service as a director and other positions of employment (if employed) requires the approval of the compensation committee, the board of directors and a regular majority of the shareholders, provided that such terms of employment are in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy. Such an engagement that is not in accordance with the Company’s compensation policy may be obtained in special cases but only if approved by a Special Majority.




27





A person who has a personal interest in the approval of a transaction that is submitted to approval of the audit committee or the board of directors generally may not be present during the deliberations and shall not take part in the voting of the audit committee or of the board of directors on such transaction. However, such person may be present at the meeting for the purpose of presenting the transaction if the chairman of the board of directors or the chairman of the audit committee, as the case may be, has determined that the presence of such director is required for presenting the transaction. Notwithstanding the above, a director may be present at a deliberation of the audit committee and the board of directors and may take part in the voting, if the majority of the members of the audit committee or the board of directors, as the case may be, have a personal interest in the approval of the transaction, in which case the transaction shall also require the approval of the shareholders of the company.





In addition, under the Companies Law, extraordinary transactions of a public company with a controlling shareholder or in which a controlling shareholder has a personal interest, and the terms of engagement of the company, directly or indirectly, with a controlling shareholder or his or her relative regarding the receipt by the company of services from the controlling shareholder, require the approval of the audit committee (or the compensation committee, if the engagement is related to the terms of service and employment), the board of directors and a Special Majority, in that order. In addition, any such extraordinary transaction with a term of more than three years requires the abovementioned approval every three years unless, with respect to transactions not involving the receipt of services or compensation, the audit committee determines that a longer term is reasonable under the circumstances.





Director Independence





The Board makes an annual determination of independence as to each board member under the current standards for “independence” established by the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”). On March 10, 2016, the Board determined that all of its directors, except Gerald Vento and Dr. Yuen Wah Sing, are independent under these standards.





ITEM 14.             PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES





Independent Auditor Fees and Services





Our Audit Committee is responsible for the oversight of our independent registered public accountants’ work. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by our accountants. The Audit Committee sets forth the basis for its pre-approval in detail, listing the particular services or categories of services which are pre-approved, and setting forth a specific budget for such services. Additional services may be pre-approved by the Audit Committee on an individual basis. Our Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent accountants during 2015 and 2014 and the fees paid for such services. The following table sets forth fees for professional services provided by BDO USA LLP and BDO Ziv Haft, Ltd., (“BDO”), the Company’s current independent registered public accountant, for the audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2015 and 2014, and fees billed for audit-related and other services (in thousands):

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures





The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. 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 service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its chairman when necessary due to timing considerations. Any services approved by the chairman must be reported to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with the pre-approval policies, and the fees for the services performed to date. All services in the table above were approved by the Audit Committee.
