**Information Regarding Our Board of Directors**

 

Our Board of Directors currently consists of four directors. At the annual meeting, four directors are to be elected to hold office until our next annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified.

 

Our Board seeks directors with established strong professional reputations and experience in areas relevant to the strategy and operations of our business, particularly the industries, end-markets and growth segments that our company serves. Each of our directors holds or has held senior executive positions in complex organizations and has operating experience that meets this objective, as described below. In these positions, they have also gained experience in core management skills, such as strategic and financial planning, public company financial reporting, compliance, risk management, executive compensation, human resources and leadership development. A majority of our non-employee directors has experience serving on boards of directors and board committees of other public companies, and each of our directors has an understanding of corporate governance practices and trends. The Board also believes that each of our directors has other key attributes that are important to an effective board: integrity, candor, analytical skills, the willingness to engage management and each other in a constructive and collaborative fashion, diversity of experience, qualifications, skills and backgrounds, and the ability and commitment to devote significant time and energy to service on the Board and its committees. In addition to the above, our Board of Directors has also considered the specific experience described in the biographical details that follow in determining that such individuals should serve as a member of our Board of Directors.

 

Set forth below are the name, age and the positions and offices held for each of our directors as of April 21, 2015, his principal occupation, business experience and public company board service during the past five years, and the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that qualify such person to serve as a director of our company.

**Corporate Governance**

 

**Identification of Our Audit Committee**

 

We have a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The members of our audit committee are Thomas A. Maloof (Chair), Paul C. Heeschen and Ronald B. Reck. Our board of directors has determined that each of the members of our audit committee is “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act and is an “independent director” as defined in Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq listing standards. Our board of directors has determined that each of Mr. Maloof and Mr. Heeschen is an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and that each of them has accounting and related financial management expertise within the meaning of the applicable rules of Nasdaq.

 

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

 

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to each of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, including any amendments to, or waivers from such code, is posted in the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.pcm.com. We will provide a copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person, without charge, upon receipt of a written request directed to our Secretary at our principal executive offices.

 

**Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance**

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Forms 4 or 5 with the SEC. Those officers, directors and ten percent stockholders are also required by the SEC’s rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Based solely on our review of the copies of the forms we received, or representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for such persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and ten percent stockholders were complied with.

 

**ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

 

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

 

**Executive Compensation Philosophy and Principles**

 

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors establishes our executive compensation philosophy and principles and oversees our executive compensation programs. The following are the primary principles of our executive compensation programs, which together constitute our executive compensation philosophy:

 

·         link executive compensation to the creation of stockholder value;

·         reward contributions of executive officers that enhance our specific business goals; and

·         attract, retain and motivate high quality individuals.

 

Our executive compensation programs have been designed and adopted by the Compensation Committee in an effort to implement the above principles. The key elements of our executive compensation program include base salary, quarterly and annual cash incentives, stock incentive awards, health and welfare benefits, and other perquisites. The discussion below describes each of the key elements of our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

**Executive Compensation Process**

 

In establishing compensation, our Compensation Committee, among other things:

 

·         reviews the performance of our executive officers and each of the components of their compensation;

 

·         evaluates the effectiveness of our overall executive compensation program on a periodic basis; and

 

·         administers our stock and cash incentive plans and, within the terms of these plans, determines the terms and conditions of the awards under these plans.

5

----

 

Our annual process of determining overall compensation for named executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) begins with recommendations made by our Chief Executive Officer to our Compensation Committee. In making his recommendation, our Chief Executive Officer considers a number of factors, including the functional role of the position, the level of the individual’s responsibility, the individual’s long-term commitment to our company, the demand and scarcity of individuals with similar skills, knowledge and industry expertise, the seniority of the individual and our Chief Executive Officer’s understandings and beliefs of retention and motivational requirements for each such executive. After considering the input and recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer and any input of an independent compensation consultant that may from time to time be engaged by the Committee, our Compensation Committee makes the final determination of compensation for our named executive officers.

 

In addition, our Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves our corporate goals and objectives relative to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluates his compensation in light of such goals and objectives, as well as the input of any independent compensation consultant, and sets the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation based on this evaluation. While our Chief Executive Officer submits recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding his own proposed compensation levels, the Committee retains the sole authority to determine the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer based on its evaluation of the factors described below under “Total Compensation for Executive Officers.”

 

Our Compensation Committee uses its judgment and experience and works closely with our named executive officers to determine the appropriate mix of compensation for each individual. Our Compensation Committee historically has not used tally sheets, internal pay equity studies, accumulated wealth analyses, equity retention policies, benchmarking or similar tools in assisting with compensation determinations for our named executive officers. The Committee uses its judgment and discretion in determining the amount of base salary for executive officers and does not target a particular benchmark in relation to salary ranges at other companies. Instead, base salary is used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of our named executive officers, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by other companies for similar positions. The Compensation Committee believes that long-term performance is achieved through the use of stock-based awards and has historically awarded stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs) to our named executive officers.

 

In April 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Towers Watson, a nationally recognized compensation consulting firm, to advise the Committee on our director and executive compensation programs and to conduct an independent competitive assessment of our director and executive officer compensation in an effort to ensure that such compensation levels and practices satisfy our compensation philosophies and principles and are established in part based upon consideration of objective market compensation data.  The object of Towers Watson’s 2013 engagement was to ensure that our compensation levels and practices were designed to support long-term growth and success, reflect best practices and address the needs of our company, employees and stockholders, and to update prior assessments using more recent market data. In connection with its engagement by the Committee, Towers Watson was instructed to perform the following assignments:

 

·         provide an assessment of our total direct compensation (base salary, short-term incentive and long-term incentive) for executive level positions;

 

·         provide advice on competitive compensation practices and executive compensation issues and trends and on establishing an appropriate peer group for comparison;

 

·         provide independent recommendations to the Committee on Chief Executive Officer and other executive officer and director compensation; and

 

·         provide a review and assessment of the Company’s overall compensation programs design for directors and executive officers, including short-term and long-term incentive practices.

 

Towers Watson presented its recommendations with respect to our Chief Executive Officer directly to the Compensation Committee, without the participation of the Chief Executive Officer. The other recommendations of Towers Watson were provided to the Compensation Committee and our Chief Executive Officer with input from our human resources personnel, who worked directly with Towers Watson on the assignment. The report was discussed by the Committee at scheduled meetings of the Committee during the second and third quarters of 2013. The report, together with input to the Committee from our Chief Executive Officer regarding incentive and retention of our other executive officers and directors, was considered by the Committee in establishing each of the components of executive and director compensation for fiscal year 2013 and again for fiscal year 2014.

**Total Compensation of Executive Officers**

 

Our executive compensation programs consist primarily of (i) base salary, (ii) short-term incentive compensation in the form of quarterly or annual cash bonuses and (iii) long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and RSUs. We also provide our executive officers with other benefits, including certain perquisites and severance and change of control agreements discussed in more detail below. Each of these components of executive compensation has been provided to satisfy our compensation philosophy and principles after review of market executive compensation data provided by an independent compensation consultant engaged by the Compensation Committee and, for executives other than the Chief Executive Officer, based in part on qualitative input and recommendations made to the Compensation Committee by our Chief Executive Officer. For the 2014 fiscal year, each of our executive officers received cash compensation in the form of an annual base salary and cash bonuses or incentive compensation, and each also received long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option and RSU awards. The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and short-term compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of non-cash compensation other than its determination that the total compensation and each component of compensation provided to each executive officer in 2014 was within the range of total compensation and the range of each component of compensation paid to similarly situated executive officers in the peer group as provided in the 2013 Towers Watson report.

 

In determining the compensation for our Chief Executive Officer, in addition to the applicable factors set forth below, the Compensation Committee also took into consideration the record of his leadership and vision since our company’s inception in 1987; his close identification with us by our employees and vendors, the financial community and the general public; and the recognition by the Compensation Committee and others in our industry of the importance of his leadership to our continued success.

 

Please refer to the tables under the section entitled “Executive Compensation” below for a detailed presentation of the specific compensation earned by each of our named executive officers in the 2014 fiscal year.

 

In assessing the competitiveness of our executive compensation, our Compensation Committee reviewed, together with other market compensation data, the report from Towers Watson, which developed comparable market compensation data using 2012 proprietary market databases and surveys, and public proxy data reported for the year ended December 31, 2012, for direct competitors as well as selected retail and technology industry peers. The peer group included the following direct competitors and other peers in the retail and technology industries:

 

*Direct Peers:*  CDW Corp., ePlus, Inc., Insight Enterprises, Inc., PC Connection, Inc. and Systemax, Inc.

 

*Other Peers:  *Black Box Corp., CACI International, Inc., CIBER, Inc., Computer Task Group, Inc., Netgear, Inc., Polycom, Inc., RCM Technologies, Inc., ScanSource, Inc., TESSCO Technologies, Inc., and Unisys Corporation.

 

We include our direct competitors and other retail and technology companies because we compete with them for business, as well as talent. We include leading national technology companies because they have a large influence on industry compensation practices. The retail and technology peer companies were included based on the advice of Towers Watson. Survey data used in the report were collected from Towers Watson’s 2012 Compensation Data Bank for Retail/Wholesale Industry Executives for companies with revenues under $3 billion. Survey data from the Towers Watson report was updated to June 2013 using a three percent annual aging factor. These surveys were organized by job title and scope of responsibility for each of our named executive officers. Survey data and publicly available proxy statements, Form 4s and 8-K filings were combined to develop market competitive pay rates.

 

The Compensation Committee used the above described reports provided by Towers Watson, together with other market compensation data and compensation data from a licensed third party compensation database for companies in the retail/wholesale industry located in the Los Angeles Metro geography with annual revenues of $1 billion to $3 billion and updated compensation data gathered by our internal personnel from publicly available proxy data for the peer group. This data was used by the Compensation Committee to confirm that the total compensation and each component of compensation provided to our named executive officers was within the range of total compensation and each component of compensation paid to similarly situated officers in the peer group. While the Compensation Committee utilized this peer group and other data (including the base salary survey data discussed below under “Base Salaries”) as a general guideline, it did not specifically benchmark total compensation or any compensation component against the companies included in the survey data.

 

In setting the total compensation levels and each component of our executive compensation program for 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed and considered the comparative peer group data as described above, as well as the qualitative input from the Chief Executive Officer regarding retention and incentive requirements (for executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer). The Committee determined that the total compensation and each component of compensation to be provided to each executive officer in 2014 was within the range of total compensation and the range of each component of compensation paid to similarly situated

executive officers in the reviewed data. However, the Compensation Committee did not establish any specific peer group comparative percentile targets or relative percentages of total compensation that any component of compensation should represent for any of our executives. While no specific benchmark was used in establishing the compensation programs for any of our executive officers, our Chief Executive Officer’s total cash compensation (consisting of base salary plus the target cash incentive opportunity) was below the 25th percentile of the peer group utilized in the Towers Watson report and his equity compensation was below the 10th percentile of such peer group (before giving effect to the voluntary reduction in Mr. Khulusi’s annual base salary rate described below).

 

**Base Salaries**

 

The base salaries we provide to our executive officers are intended as compensation for each executive officer’s ongoing contributions to the performance of the operational area(s) for which he or she is responsible. In keeping with our compensation philosophy to attract and retain high quality individuals, executive officer base salaries have been set at levels which the Compensation Committee believes are competitive with base salaries paid to executive officers of the peer companies described above and with the Los Angeles market for executives of publicly traded companies having approximately similar revenues and number of employees to those of PCM. The Committee used market survey data for general background purposes to determine whether our executive compensation levels were substantially higher or lower than those of companies within the geographic market in which we compete for qualified executives. However, as described above, the Compensation Committee does not specifically benchmark base salaries of our executive officers against those of the companies included in the market data reviewed by the Committee. For executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer, base salaries also were established in part after consideration of qualitative input from our Chief Executive Officer about retention and incentive considerations after his discussions with individual executive officers.

 

The base salaries of our executive officers are reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time from the original amounts provided in employment agreements to recognize individual performance, promotions, competitive compensation levels, retention and incentive considerations and other qualitative factors. In addition to adjustments made for competitive, retention and incentive reasons, the Committee has periodically adjusted executive officer base salaries based on its assessment of each executive’s performance and history with us and our overall budgetary considerations for salary increases. Based in part on the reports provided to the Committee by the independent compensation consulting firm and other data reviewed by the Committee, the base salaries for Messrs. LaVerne, Newton and Abuyounes were increased effective as of May 20, 2013 and were unchanged for 2014. Mr. Miley’s annual base salary rate of $400,000 was established by the Committee in connection with his hiring and negotiation of his December 2014 employment agreement. In December 2014, in connection with the hiring of a new President, Mr. Khulusi’s base salary was reduced at his request from $833,000 to $583,000 to partially offset the cost of adding the separate President position.

 

**Short-Term Incentive Compensation**

 

In March 2014 our Compensation Committee adopted our 2014 Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) effective for the 2014 fiscal year. The Plan was intended to reward and motivate our executives with short-term cash incentives and to align the interests of management with our stated objectives to focus on our sales and profitability and increase shareholder value. Each of our named executive officers was eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

The Plan was designed to provide cash incentive opportunities based upon two performance objectives, weighted differently for each executive eligible to participate in the Plan: (1) attainment of a target consolidated annual EBITDA (the “Consolidated Target”), and (2) attainment of individual qualitative targets (the “Qualitative Target”). EBITDA was defined under the Plan as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and adjusted for non-recurring special charges, if any, to be excluded from the calculation of EBITDA in the discretion of the Committee, including but not limited to non-cash adjustments such as goodwill and intangible asset adjustments, material unforeseen litigation and restructuring and related costs. Such adjustments are consistent with our executive incentive plan in the prior year and the items excluded from the 2014 EBITDA calculations are described in more detail below.

 

The Plan provided for individual target amounts for each participant based on the Company’s achievement at 100% of the annual Consolidated Target for the 2014 calendar year. The Plan also had a minimum annual EBITDA for any quantitative cash incentive to be paid under the Plan and contained incentive decelerators based on performance below the respective quantitative performance targets, with an annual minimum threshold set at 87% of target. Quantitative incentive amounts would be paid at 71% of the incentive target if the Company’s performance equaled the minimum target threshold for payment of the quantitative cash incentive amounts. If the Company’s performance fell below the threshold, no quantitative cash incentives would have been earned.

 

The Plan also contained accelerators under which the cash incentive amounts could exceed the target incentive amounts, with the maximum cash incentive amount equal to 200% of target incentive amounts, to be paid if the Company’s performance equaled or exceeded 125% of the respective performance target. The Plan further generally allowed for 50% of the annual cash incentive targets to be paid in non-recoverable quarterly increments based on quarterly performance targets that made up components of the respective annual performance targets.

Under the 2014 Plan, Messrs. LaVerne, Newton and Abuyounes each had certain individual qualitative targets that were tailored for their respective responsibilities to the Company based on recommendations made by our Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Committee and were paid quarterly or annually in the discretion of the Committee.

 

The total cash incentive opportunity for the participating executive officers equaled 62% of annual base salary for Mr. Khulusi (or 89% of his reduced base salary in effect from December 2014), 50% of annual base salary for Mr. Miley on a prorated basis beginning in December 2014 upon commencement of his employment, and 40% of base salary for each of Messrs. LaVerne, Newton and Abuyounes. The schedule below indicates the mix of performance objectives for each of our named executive officers:

 
| **Name**             | ** ** | **Consolidated   Target** | ** ** | **Qualitative   Target** | ** ** |
|----------------------|------------|---------------------------|------------|--------------------------|------------|
| Frank   F. Khulusi   |       | 100                       | %          | —                   |       |
| Robert   J. Miley    |       | 100                       |       | —                   |       |
| Brandon   H. LaVerne |       | 67                        |       | 33                       | %          |
| Robert   I. Newton   |       | —                    |       | 100                      |       |
| Simon   M. Abuyounes |       | 67                        |       | 33                       |       |

 

All amounts funded under the Plan were subject to increase or reduction for each named executive officer at the sole discretion of the Committee based upon qualitative or quantitative factors which the Committee may deem appropriate from time to time. In addition to participation in the Plan, all of our executive officers were eligible for additional discretionary bonuses as could be determined by the Committee. No cash incentive was earned until it was paid under any of these plans. Therefore, in the event the employment of an executive eligible under these plans terminated (either by the Company or by the eligible executive, whether voluntarily or involuntarily) before a cash incentive was paid, the executive was not deemed to have earned that incentive and it was not paid.

 

Under the 2014 Plan, the Company achieved 77% of the Annual Consolidated Target, as adjusted, resulting in payouts to each of the participating executives in the amounts shown in the tables below for the quantitative portion of their respective cash incentive opportunity under the plan. The Compensation Committee calculated the 2014 Annual Consolidated Target utilizing EBITDA from continuing operations. Additionally, based on the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee awarded each of Messrs. LaVerne, Newton and Abuyounes 100% of the qualitative portion of their respective incentive opportunity under the Plan. The following table illustrates the calculation of the EBITDA, as adjusted, applicable for the 2014 Plan (in thousands):

 
| ** **                           | ** ** | **Consolidated** | ** ** |

(1)    The Payout Percentage equals the actual amount paid to the executive as a percentage of his respective quantitative target under the Plan. While the annual minimum threshold was not met, the Payout Percentage reflects the net effect of the quarterly and annual application of the accelerators and decelerators described above and non-recoverable payouts based on meeting quarterly incremental targets.

**Long-Term Incentive Compensation**

 

Our long-term incentive compensation has historically consisted of stock option or RSU grants, which have been awarded under our equity incentive plans and administered by the Compensation Committee. We have made periodic grants of stock options and RSUs to executives for the purpose of aligning their long-term motivations with the interests of our stockholders and in consideration of the fact that we offer no other significant long-term, deferred or retirement compensation to our executive officers.

 

The Compensation Committee is not tied to any particular process or formula to determine the size of the long-term incentive awards granted to our named executive officers. Consequently, the Committee uses its discretion to grant equity awards and may consider the various factors discussed below. In fiscal 2014, to determine the size of the equity awards for our named executive officers, the Committee first reviewed our Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations for options and RSUs to be granted during fiscal 2014 to our executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer. In each case, the Committee then made determinations of the specific amounts and terms of stock options and RSUs to be granted to each executive officer, including our Chief Executive Officer, based on its subjective consideration of the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, historical grant information, the Committee’s views of comparative compensation data provided to the Committee by Towers Watson in its May 2013 report and other market compensation data, retention and motivational factors, corporate performance, individual performance, the executive’s level of responsibility, the potential impact that the executive could have on our operations and financial condition and the market price of our common stock.

 

Stock options and RSUs have historically generally been granted to our executive officers based on a subjective and market-based evaluation by the Compensation Committee (based in part upon recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer) of a recipient’s contributions and continuing value to us and the performance of his or her respective operational areas of responsibility. Compensation previously realized by our executive officers from the exercise of vested options or the vesting of RSUs historically has not been considered by our Compensation Committee when giving new equity awards but may be considered when making future grants.

 

In determining what long-term incentive programs to offer our executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers the impact of ASC 718 (formerly SFAS 123R “Share-Based Payment”) which requires us to expense the compensation costs related to stock option awards and RSUs ratably over their vesting periods.

 

From time to time, our Compensation Committee evaluates the structure of our long-term incentive programs and may make modifications to these programs to reflect our changing needs and our need to attract, retain and motivate our executive officers. These changes may be based, in part, on market conditions and the compensation programs of our competitors. As new long-term incentive instruments are developed and the tax and accounting treatment of various instruments are subject to change over time, management and the Compensation Committee regularly review our compensation programs to determine whether these programs are accomplishing our goals in a cost-effective manner.

The final compensation report of Towers Watson provided to the Compensation Committee in May 2013 included long-term, non-cash incentive compensation market competitive data and analysis which was reviewed and considered by the Committee in determining the 2014 stock option and RSU grants to executives. This data and analysis contemplated the annualized expected value of equity award grants ultimately provided to our executive officers relative to long-term, non-cash incentive compensation provided to peer group executives. The value of each grant also was analyzed for its effect on total compensation, representing the long-term, non-cash component of our executive compensation. The Committee determined that the level of each grant in 2014 to each of our executive officers was within the range of annual long-term, non-cash incentive compensation relative to the considered peer groups for each executive officer and further determined that the level of each grant in 2014 to each executive officer when considered together with the total cash compensation for 2014 placed the level of 2014 total compensation for each executive officer within the market range. Mr. Miley’s initial award of RSUs in December 2014 was approved by the Committee in connection with the negotiation of his employment agreement and after consideration of the above data.

 

**Timing, Pricing and Terms of Share-Based Awards**

 

We have generally considered share-based awards to our executive officers at regularly scheduled meetings of the Compensation Committee. Formal approval of share-based awards is obtained on the date of grant. We do not have, and do not intend to have, any program, plan or practice to time share-based awards in coordination with the release of material non-public information. We also do not have, and do not intend to have, any program, plan or practice to time the release of material non-public information for the purpose of affecting the value to executive compensation. The exercise price for stock options we have granted equals the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. We have granted fixed-price stock options that generally vest in equal quarterly installments usually over a three to five year period. Our share-based award grants have not historically contained performance vesting features.

 

Because the value of share-based awards increase only if the price of our common stock increases after grant, the time vesting feature of our share-based awards has been intended as an important feature of each grant designed to motivate our executive officers to enhance our stockholders’ value over a long-term period.

 

**Employment Agreements and Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements**

 

In January 1995, prior to our initial public offering, we entered into an employment agreement with Frank F. Khulusi, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement, which was amended in December 2005 and in December 2008, provides for one-year extensions unless it is terminated by us or Mr. Khulusi. Mr. Khulusi’s annual salary pursuant to his employment agreement has been increased or decreased periodically and was $833,000 before he voluntarily reduced his annual salary by $250,000 to $583,000 in December 2014. Mr. Khulusi is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally available to similarly situated employees.

 

Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement provides that he is entitled to certain severance benefits in the event of a change of control or if his employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Khulusi for good reason as follows:

 

·         If Mr. Khulusi’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause (which may occur at any time upon 90 days’ advance written notice to Mr. Khulusi), the Company will pay him his salary through the end of the notice period and, in addition, a lump sum amount equal to two times the total salary and bonus compensation paid to him for the twelve months immediately preceding the notice of termination, in each case subject to the December 2008 amendment of Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement which amended the agreement to clarify that the agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code and related regulations in all instances and that any payments which would cause non-compliance will be delayed in a manner necessary for compliance;

 

·         If Mr. Khulusi’s employment is terminated by him for good reason (which may occur upon 30 days’ advance written notice to the Company), including as a result of the Company notifying him of its decision to not renew the employment agreement for an additional period as described above, the Company will pay him a lump sum upon such termination equal to two times the total salary and bonus compensation paid to him for the twelve months immediately preceding the notice of termination; and

 

·         In the event of a change of control of the Company, upon consummation of the change of control, Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement will terminate and he will receive a lump sum payment equal to two times the total salary (which for this purpose, Mr. Khulusi’s base salary is deemed to be $833,000 as provided in his employment agreement, as amended) and short-term cash incentive compensation paid to him for the twelve months immediately preceding the change of control.

If the severance payment payable under his employment agreement in the event of a change of control, either alone or together with other payments he has the right to receive from us, would not be deductible (in whole or in part) by the Company as a result of the payment constituting a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the severance payment under the employment agreement will be reduced to the maximum deductible amount under the Code.

 

For the purposes of Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement, a “change of control” of the Company will be deemed to have occurred if:

 

·         there is consummated (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of the Company’s common stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which the holders of the Company’s common stock immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of common stock of the surviving corporation immediately after the merger, (ii) any reverse merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation but in which securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities are transferred to a person or persons different from those who hold such securities immediately prior to the merger, or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one or more related transactions) of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company;

 

·         our stockholders approve a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of us;

 

·         any person other than Mr. Khulusi or certain of his relatives or affiliates become the direct or indirect beneficial owners of 20% or more of our common stock (other than as a result of purchases by such person directly from us); or

 

·         during any 12-month period, individuals who at the beginning of the period constitute our entire Board of Directors cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof unless the election, or the nomination for election by our stockholders, of each new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who were directors at the beginning of the period.

 

If Mr. Khulusi’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, the terms of his employment agreement require that he (or his beneficiaries, as applicable) be paid his salary through the end of the month in which the termination occurs. If Mr. Khulusi is terminated for cause (which may occur upon 30 days’ advance written notice to Mr. Khulusi), the terms of his employment agreement require that he be paid his salary through the end of the notice period.

 

In October 2014, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert Jay Miley, our President. Pursuant to the terms of our agreement with Mr. Miley, he is an “at will” employee. Mr. Miley is currently entitled to an annual base salary of $400,000. He is also eligible to receive annual incentive cash compensation under any applicable annual executive cash incentive plan in an amount of $200,000 at 100% achievement of financial targets, which amount can be greater or less based on the level of achievement and may be paid in quarterly or annual installments, as well as additional discretionary bonuses as may be determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee, and is entitled to severance pay equal to twelve months of his then-current annual base salary in the event his employment is terminated without cause. The severance payment would be made in one lump sum and is contingent upon his execution of a satisfactory severance and release agreement. Under his employment agreement, we also agreed to make available to Mr. Miley a furnished single bedroom corporate apartment in proximity to our corporate headquarters in El Segundo, California for the first year of his employment, and Mr. Miley is eligible to participate in benefit plans generally available to similarly situated employees. Mr. Miley also received a one-time signing bonus in the amount of $200,000, which is repayable to us by Mr. Miley in the event Mr. Miley’s employment is terminated by him voluntarily or by us with cause at any time prior to the third anniversary date of his employment, which commenced on December 2, 2014.

 

Each of Messrs. LaVerne and Abuyounes is an “at will” employee.  Mr. LaVerne is currently entitled to an annual base salary of $346,330 and Mr. Abuyounes is currently entitled to an annual base salary of $333,375. Each is eligible to participate in our executive incentive plan in the discretion of our Compensation Committee, and may receive discretionary bonuses from time to time in the discretion of our Compensation Committee with the input of our Chief Executive Officer. We have entered into severance agreements with each of Messrs. LaVerne and Abuyounes, pursuant to which each is entitled to severance pay equal to six months of his annual base salary in the event his employment is terminated without cause within a twelve month period following a change-in-control of our company. The severance payments would be made in equal installments over six months and are contingent upon their execution of a satisfactory severance and release agreement. Each of Messrs. LaVerne and Abuyounes receives a monthly automobile allowance of $1,000 and is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally available to similarly situated employees.

 

In June 2004, we entered into an employment agreement with Robert I. Newton, our Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary. Mr. Newton’s employment agreement was amended in February 2005. Pursuant to the terms of our agreement with Mr. Newton, he is an “at will” employee. Mr. Newton is currently entitled to an annual base salary of $342,900. Mr. Newton is also eligible to receive annual incentive cash compensation of up to $137,160, paid in quarterly installments, as well as additional

discretionary bonuses as may be determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee, and is entitled to severance pay equal to six months of his annual base salary in the event his employment is terminated without cause. The severance payments would be made in equal installments over six months and are contingent upon his execution of a satisfactory severance and release agreement. Mr. Newton receives a monthly automobile allowance of $1,000 and is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally available to similarly situated employees.

 

In addition to the above discussed agreements, under the terms of our option and RSU agreements with our executive officers, upon the occurrence of a change of control of our company, subject to certain limitations, all of the unvested stock options and RSUs for Messrs. Khulusi, LaVerne and Newton will become fully vested.

 

The RSUs held by Mr. Miley provide that in the event of a change of control in which Mr. Miley’s RSUs are not assumed or replaced, a portion of his unvested RSUs then outstanding will become vested upon the change of control in an amount equal to two years of accelerated vesting plus an additional amount of accelerated vesting if the change of control occurs on or prior to December 2, 2015.The specific amount of any such additional accelerated vesting if the change of control occurs on or prior to December 2, 2015 would be equal to a prorata portion of an additional year of accelerated vesting based on the number of months Mr. Miley serves prior to such change of control. In the event Mr. Miley’s RSUs are assumed or replaced (by a comparable award) in connection with a change of control transaction, Mr. Miley is entitled to accelerated vesting of his then unvested outstanding RSUs in an amount equal to one year of accelerated vesting plus, in the event of a change of control prior to December 2, 2015, an additional prorata portion of unvested RSUs determined based on Mr. Miley’s number of months of service prior to the change control. Mr. Miley is further entitled to full acceleration of vesting following a change of control with respect to and any remaining portion of the unvested RSUs which do not accelerate upon the change of control as described and which are assumed or replaced in the transaction if his employment is terminated by the successor entity without cause or by Mr. Miley for “good reason” within twelve (12) months of the change of control.

 

The stock options and RSUs held by Mr. Abuyounes provide that, in the event of a change of control, a portion of the unvested options and RSUs then outstanding in the amount of one year plus a quarter of accelerated vesting will become vested if the option or RSU is not assumed or replaced (by an option, RSU or comparable cash incentive) by the successor entity as part of such transaction or, if assumed or replaced, his employment is terminated by the successor entity without cause or by Mr. Abuyounes for “good reason” within twelve (12) months of the change of control.

 

The employment agreements and severance and change-in-control benefits provided to our executives under these agreements were approved by our Compensation Committee or full Board following our negotiations with our executive officers and were determined to be reasonable and necessary in order to hire and retain these individuals. Mr. Khulusi’s agreement was originally executed in 1995 and at that time we established certain change-in-control and severance protections for Mr. Khulusi. We believe that it is important to provide continued professional stability to those executive-level employees who helped build our company and whose leadership is important to our continued success. Further, we believe that the interests of our stockholders will be best served if the interests of our most senior management are aligned with them. Providing change in control benefits, including the severance and share-based award acceleration benefits, is designed to reduce the reluctance of senior management to pursue potential change of control transactions that may be in the best interests of our stockholders. The severance and change-in-control benefits offered to our executive officers did not affect the Compensation Committee’s determination of the total compensation, or any component of compensation, we provided to our executive officers in 2014.

 

Copies of each of the above-referenced employment agreements, as well as summaries of our executive bonus plans, are filed as exhibits to our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

**Perquisites and Other Benefits**

 

We provide our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer, with perquisites that we believe are reasonable, competitive and consistent with our overall executive compensation program. We believe that our perquisites help us to hire and retain qualified executives.  For additional information regarding perquisites we provided to each of our named executive officers please refer to the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

 

**Consideration of Deductibility of Compensation**

 

The deductibility of compensation that may be paid to our executive officers is just one of many factors we consider in structuring our compensation programs. Given our changing industry and business, as well as the competitive market for outstanding executives, the Compensation Committee believes that it is important to retain the flexibility to design compensation programs consistent with its overall executive compensation philosophy even if some executive compensation is not fully deductible. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to approve elements of compensation for our officers that are not fully deductible.

**Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control (2014)**

 

Provisions of our employment and change of control arrangements with the named executive officers and our equity incentive plan or individual award agreements thereunder provide for certain payments to our named executive officers at, following or in connection with a termination of their employment or a change of control of PCM. See “Employment Agreements and Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements” in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above for a discussion of the specific circumstances that would trigger payments under the employment agreements with our named executive officers.

 

The agreements pursuant to which we granted stock options and RSUs to Mr. Khulusi, Mr. LaVerne and Mr. Newton provide for full acceleration of vesting of their unvested awards in the event of a change of control of our company. The stock options and RSUs held by Mr. Miley and Mr. Abuyounes provide that, in the event of a change of control, a portion of the unvested awards then outstanding will become fully vested. See “Employment Agreements and Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements” in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above for a discussion of the specific circumstances and amount of equity award acceleration for each of these executives.

 

Under our stock incentive plans, a change of control is deemed to occur upon:

 

·         the direct or indirect acquisition by any person or related group of persons of more than 50% of the total voting power of our outstanding stock;

 

·         a change in the composition of our board over a period of 36 months or less such that a majority of our continuing directors cease to be members of our board;

 

·         a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving entity or in which we survive as an entity but in which more than 50% of the voting power of our outstanding securities are transferred to persons different from those who held such securities immediately prior to such merger; or

 

·         the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets or our liquidation or dissolution.

The table below sets forth the estimated payments that would be made to each of our named executive officers upon voluntary termination, involuntary termination, a change of control, and death or permanent disability. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such named executive officer’s separation from PCM. The information set forth in the table assumes, as necessary:

 

·         The termination and/or the qualified change in control event occurred on December 31, 2014 (the last business day of our last completed fiscal year);

 

·         The price per share of our common stock on the date of termination is $9.52 (the closing market price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on December 31, 2014); and

 

·         With respect to unvested equity awards, the awards are not assumed or replaced as described above and do not remain outstanding following the change of control.

(1)         This severance benefit is provided pursuant to Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement if his employment with us is terminated by Mr. Khulusi for “good reason,” as defined in his employment agreement, including if we choose to not renew the agreement.

(2)         Estimated severance payment is to be made in a single lump sum payment upon the termination or change of control, as applicable, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

(3)         Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, to the extent the severance payment payable to Mr. Khulusi in the event of a change of control, either alone or together with other payments he has the right to receive from us, would not be deductible (in whole or in part) by us as a result of the payment constituting a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the severance payment will be reduced to the maximum deductible amount under the Code.

(4)         The amount indicated reflects payments upon a termination not for cause. In the event of the individual’s termination for cause, no payment would be payable, except that pursuant to Mr. Khulusi’s employment agreement, if he is terminated for cause (which may occur upon 30 days’ advance written notice), he is to be paid his salary through the end of the notice period.

(5)         Severance payment is to be made in one lump sum in the first payroll period after a properly executed release, as defined in Mr. Miley’s employment agreement, becomes irrevocable.

(6)         Severance payments are to be made in equal installments over a period of six months following the date of termination.

(7)         Upon executive’s death, we are required to pay to executive’s beneficiaries or estate the compensation to which he is entitled through the end of the month in which death occurs. Upon executive’s disability, which in the sole opinion of the Board, if executive is not able to properly perform his duties for more than 270 days in the aggregate or 180 consecutive days in any twelve month period, then executive’s employment shall terminate on the last day of the month in which the Board determines executive to be disabled and be entitled to executive’s compensation through executive’s last day of employment.

(8)         Represents the value of outstanding stock options and RSUs as of December 31, 2014 that would vest upon consummation of a change in control. Assumes that the vested options are immediately exercised and the shares received upon exercise are immediately resold at the assumed per share price on the date of termination. For details regarding acceleration terms for each of the named executive, please see “Employment Agreements and Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements” in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above.

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

 

**Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons**

 

As required by the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and pursuant to our Audit Committee Charter, we conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis and all such transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee or another independent body of the board. For purposes of this review, “related party transactions” include all transactions that are required to be disclosed pursuant to SEC regulations. As a part of this process, our general counsel reviews and monitors the terms and conditions of all related party transactions and informs the Audit Committee of any proposed transaction that is deemed a related party transaction. In cases in which a proposed transaction has been identified as a related party transaction, management presents information regarding the proposed related party transaction to the Audit Committee or another body of independent directors for consideration and approval. In considering related party transactions, the Audit Committee takes into account the fairness of the proposed transaction to the Company and whether the terms of such transaction are at least as favorable to our company as we would receive or be likely to receive from an unrelated third party in a comparable or substantially comparable transaction.

 

**Certain Relationships and Related Transactions**

 

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers that provide the maximum indemnity available to directors and officers under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as well as certain procedural protections. We have also entered into transactions with certain of our directors and officers, as described under the section “Executive Compensation.”

 

Sam U. Khulusi, the brother of Frank F. Khulusi, was employed as a Senior Vice President of PCM Logistics, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCM, in fiscal years 2013 and 2014. In fiscal years 2013 and 2014, Sam U. Khulusi earned compensation in the amount of $220,000 each year and he did not earn any bonus during 2013 and 2014. Sam U. Khulusi is eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally available to similarly situated employees.

 

Simon M. Abuyounes, the brother-in-law of Frank F. Khulusi, was employed as the President of PCM Logistics, LLC in fiscal year 2013 and was appointed as Executive Vice President — IT, Operations and Commercial Sales of PCM, Inc. in April 2014. Compensation paid to Mr. Abuyounes in fiscal year 2013 and 2014, and our agreements with respect to his severance arrangements with our company are described under the section “Executive Compensation.” Mr. Abuyounes is also eligible to participate in our employee benefit plans that are generally available to similarly situated employees.

 

We believe that each of the transactions and agreements described above contain comparable terms to those we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

 

**Director Independence**

 

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors. After review of all of the relevant transactions or relationships between each director (and his family members) and us, our senior management and our independent registered public accounting firm, our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Mr. Maloof, Mr. Heeschen and Mr. Reck is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

 

Each member of our Board of Directors serving on our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees is “independent” within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

***Audit Fees***.

Audit fees include services rendered and billed relating to the audit of our internal control over financial reporting and the related attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 

***Audit-Related Fees***.  Audit-related fees include fees for assurance or related services regarding the audit or review of our financial statements, other than those reported above under the caption “Audit Fees.”

 

***Tax Fees***.  Tax fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice or tax planning.

 

***All Other Fees***.  Deloitte did not provide us, or bill us for, any products or services in 2013 and 2014, other than the services performed in connection with the fees reported under the captions “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees” above.

 

**Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy**

 

The audit committee of our board of directors has adopted a policy requiring that all services provided to us by our approved independent registered accounting firm be pre-approved by the audit committee. The policy pre-approves specific types of services that the independent registered accounting firm may provide us if the types of services do not exceed specified cost limits. Any type of service that is not clearly described in the policy, as well as any type of described service that would exceed the pre-approved cost limit set forth in the policy, must be explicitly approved by our audit committee prior to any engagement with respect to that type of service. Our audit committee reviews the pre-approval policy and establishes fee limits annually, and may revise the list of pre-approved services from time to time.

 

Additionally, our audit committee delegated to its chairman the authority to explicitly pre-approve engagements with our independent registered accounting firm, provided that any pre-approval decisions must be reported to our audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. If explicit pre-approval is required for any service, our Chief Financial Officer and our independent registered accounting firm must submit a joint request to the audit committee, or its authorized delegate, describing in detail the specific services proposed and the anticipated costs of those services, as well as a statement as to whether and why, in their view, providing those services will be consistent with the SEC’s rules regarding auditor independence.
