(“Procera” or the “Company”), and a description of the business experience of each of our directors, and a discussion of the specific and particular experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each director that led the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conclude that, as of the date of this Amendment No.1, such director should serve on our Board of Directors (the “Board”).

To that end, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has identified and evaluated directors in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition, with the goal of having members who complement and strengthen the skills of other members and who also exhibit integrity, collegiality, sound business judgment and other qualities that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee views as critical to effective functioning of the Board.

The terms of all directors will expire at our 2012 annual meeting of stockholders, or when their successors are elected and qualified.

With the exception of the Strategic Alliance Letter Agreement dated July 19, 2010 by and between us and GENBAND US LLC (“GENBAND”), pursuant to which Mr. Pugerude is GENBAND’s designee to the Board, there are no other arrangements or understandings between any director and any other person pursuant to which he or she was or is to be selected as a director or nominee. We have, however, entered into employment agreements with certain of our named executive officers described in Item 11 in this Amendment No.1 under the subheading “Employment, Severance, Separation and Change of Control Agreements.”

Executive Compensation





Executive Compensation





Compensation Discussion and Analysis




Overview of Compensation Program




The goal of our executive compensation program is to provide a structure of incentives and rewards that will drive behavior and performance in a way that builds long term value for our stockholders.  In support of this goal we have implemented compensation and benefit programs that are designed to:




•
Reward performance;





•
Align the interests of management and stockholders;





•
Enable the recruitment and retention of high quality executives; and





•
Provide fair and reasonable levels of compensation.




Compensation Objectives




The following are the principal objectives of our compensation programs:




Performance – We strive to maintain a performance-oriented culture. Each of our compensation elements is designed to encourage performance improvement of our executive officers. We expect our executive officers to perform to high standards of competence.




Alignment with stockholders – We set our goals based on the business milestones that we believe are most likely to drive long term stockholder value and by tying significant elements of executive compensation to our business success.  Cash bonuses are designed to acknowledge short-term goal accomplishment while over the long-term, executive officers can benefit directly from increases in the value of our common stock through equity participation, primarily in the form of stock options and restricted stock.




Recruiting and retention – Building an outstanding organization and delivering excellence in all aspects of our performance require that we hire, and retain, high quality executives.   We believe that an environment in which employees are able to have an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding work experience is critical to our ability to recruit and retain the right people.  A crucial aspect of that environment is the structure of incentives and rewards that are embedded in the compensation program.  We strive to keep this structure competitive so that qualified people are motivated to join our team and to continue to grow and succeed at Procera.




Fair and reasonable compensation – We strive to make our compensation programs fair in relation to other executives within the organization and in relation to comparable positions in other companies. We set compensation levels that are reasonable in terms of our overall financial and competitive condition as a company and that reflect the experience, skills and level of responsibility of the executive. We utilize executive compensation resources to aid in benchmarking all components of our executive compensation levels to outside market conditions.




Compensation Process




The Compensation Committee of the Board operates under a Board-approved charter.  This charter specifies the principal responsibilities of the Compensation Committee, including: (i) to review and make recommendations to the Board for the Company’s overall compensation strategy (including performance goals, compensation plans, programs and policies, and employment and similar agreements with executive officers); (ii) to recommend to the Board the compensation and terms of employment of the chief executive officer and the other executive officers as well as the compensation to Board members; (iii) to administer and to recommend to the Board adoption, amendment or termination of plans, including option plans, bonus plans and any deferred compensation plans; and (iv) to establish appropriate insurance for the directors and officers.  The Compensation Committee consists of three directors, each of whom satisfies the independence requirements of the NASDAQ guidelines as well as applicable SEC and Internal Revenue Service regulations.





The performance of each of our executive officers is evaluated at least annually at the end of the calendar year. The chief executive officer’s performance is evaluated by the Compensation Committee and the performance of the other executive officers is evaluated by the chief executive officer and reviewed with the Compensation Committee. The factors taken into account in the evaluation of performance include the extent to which pre-established goals and business plans were accomplished and the extent to which the executive demonstrated leadership, creativity, teamwork and commitment, and embodied our Company values.  Other factors that are considered in making compensation determinations are the experience, skill level and level of responsibility of the executive and competitive market conditions.

 Table of Contents





All options or restricted stock awards granted to executive officers and directors must be approved by the Board.  At the time of hire, options and/or restricted stock awards are granted effective on or shortly after the employment start date for the executive.  Generally, we assess all of our executive officers on an annual basis for potential additional stock option and/or restricted stock grants.  These annual awards are approved by the Board.




The Company conducted its first say-on-pay vote at the 2011 Annual Meeting and approximately 78% of the votes cast were for approval of the 2010 executive compensation. The stockholders, consistent with the Company’s recommendation, also designated every year as the frequency with which the Company should conduct the say-on-pay vote. As a result, the Board committed to an annual say-on-pay vote.  The Company’s 2011 executive compensation approach was overall, generally in line with the 2010 approach previously approved by stockholders.




Compensation Elements




General – We have implemented specific compensation elements to address our objectives, including base salary, a cash bonus plan, equity participation and benefits.  These elements combine short-term and longer-term incentives and rewards in meeting our executive compensation goals.




Market Compensation Data – Our Compensation Committee considers relevant market data in setting the compensation for our executive officers.  During 2011, the Compensation Committee selected Compensia, Inc. to provide a compensation assessment for establishing executive officer and director compensation.  Compensia, Inc. was selected because of their experience at developing peer groups, assessing the market competitiveness of executive compensation programs and providing guidance on any adjustments needed to conform to market compensation programs.  They also showed considerable experience with Silicon Valley high technology companies.  A broad survey data of companies with similar revenue, headcount and market capitalization was used as an aid in making compensation decisions.




Base Salary – In determining base salaries for our executive officers, we benchmark each of our executive positions using data compiled by Compensia, Inc.  The report used was the 2011 Compensia Executive Compensation Assessment (the “Compensation Assessment”), which included 15 peer technology and communication companies with revenues between $25 million and $88 million for the most recent four quarters available as of October 2011 and that had demonstrated revenue growth.  The Compensation Assessment summarized the compensation for Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers.  The 15 companies identified in the Compensation Assessment were as follows:





Ambient
Maxlinear
Pervasive SoftwareAware
Meru Networks
SemiledsClearOne Communications
Numerex
SPS CommerceeGain Communications
ORBCOMM
TII Network TechnologiesHughes Telematics
PC-Tel
Wave Systems





After consideration of all data, our Compensation Committee elected to target base salary at the 50th percentile of the peer group companies because our expected revenue target was near the mid-range of the peer group.  The target for total cash compensation, including base salary and cash incentives, was at or above the 50th percentile because our revenue growth has exceeded that of most of the companies in the peer group during comparable periods.  However, many factors affect the determination of the salary level and cash incentives for individual executives, including performance, experience, skill, responsibilities and competitive market factors.  In general, we seek to provide a fair, reasonable and competitive level of base salary and cash incentives. The Compensation Committee recommended to increase the base salary of the Chief Executive Officer to $345,000 effective January 1, 2012 from $295,000 in 2011, with no change to the on-target cash incentives of 80% base salary; and to increase the base salary of the Chief Financial Officer to $250,000, effective January 1, 2012 from $225,000 in 2011.  In November 2011, the Board approved the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer recommendations of the Compensation Committee.





Cash Bonus – While we believe that the provision of short-term cash incentives is important to aligning the interests of executive officers and stockholders, and to the rewarding of performance, we also take into account the overall financial situation of the Company.   The cash bonuses paid in 2011 were based on pre-determined or specific corporate or individual performance targets.  Bonus payouts for performance in the year ended December 31, 2011 were calculated based on EBITDA, a non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) financial measure, which represents net income (loss) adjusted for (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision (benefit) and (iii) depreciation and amortization.. The range of potential payouts was from 0% to 200% of the on-target bonus amount, depending upon the level of revenue achieved and achieving a positive EBITDA.





The performance targets for a 100% bonus payout for the first half of 2011 included a revenue measure of $11.1 million and positive EBITDA.  The bonus amount was increased or decreased if the revenue achieved was more or less than the target, respectively, with no bonus if revenue was below $7.8 million for the first half of 2011.  Without positive EBITDA for either of the first or second quarter of 2011, the calculated bonus would be reduced by 75%.  The performance targets for a 100% bonus payout for the second half of 2011 included a revenue measure of $18.4 million and positive EBITDA.  The targets were based on the Company’s financial plan for 2011, which included approximately 50% revenue growth for 2011, or revenue of $30 million, and approximately break-even operating results.  Because a greater portion of 2011 revenue was planned for the second half of 2011, as compared with the first half of 2011, a greater portion of the full-year on-target bonus was allocated to the second half of 2011.  37% of the on-target bonus was assigned to the first half of 2011 and the remaining 63% was assigned to the second half of 2011 to align the cash incentives with expected higher revenue in the second half of 2011. The bonus amount was increased or decreased if the revenue achieved was more or less than the target, respectively, with no bonus if revenue was below $13.2 million for the second half of 2011.  Without positive EBITDA for either of the third or fourth quarter of 2011, the calculated bonus would be reduced by 75%.  The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were eligible for a target bonus of 80% and 60% of base salary, respectively, for each half year of 2011.  For 2011, the on-target cash compensation, combining base salary and cash incentives, was based on 50th percentile of benchmark survey completed in 2010.

 Table of Contents





149% and 151% of the established revenue targets were achieved in the first and second halves of 2011, respectively, and this achievement resulted in 2011 bonus payouts at or near the calculated 200% cap on bonus payments.  The bonus to the Chief Executive Officer was $173,521 and $297,360 for the first and second halves of 2011, respectively.  The bonus to the Chief Financial Officer was $99,260 and $170,100 for the first and second halves of 2011, respectively.  The bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were 199% and 200%, respectively, of the calculated on-target bonus for the first and second halves of 2011. The 2011 bonus plan provided for greater bonuses in the event that revenue exceeded established targets; that is, up to 200% of the on-target bonus could be paid, if revenue exceeded the target by 150% or more. With revenue at 149% and 151% of targets for the first and second halves of 2011, respectively, the calculated bonuses were near the cap and at the 200% cap in the first and second halves of 2011, respectively.  The respective bonuses were greater for the second half of 2011, reflecting the 37% and 63% assignment of the on-target bonuses to the first and second halves of 2011, respectively, which was consistent with the expectations for greater revenue in the second half of 2011 as compared with the first half of 2011.





The Compensation Committee established target cash bonus incentives for 2012 based on the Compensia, Inc. Survey conducted in 2011.  For 2012, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are eligible for a target bonus of 80% and 60% of base salary, respectively. After consideration of the Compensation Assessment prepared by Compensia, our Compensation Committee elected to target total cash compensation, including base salary and cash incentives, at or above the 50th percentile because our revenue growth has exceeded that of most of the companies in the peer group during comparable periods.  No change was made to the cash incentives as a percentage of base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer for 2012 as compared with 2011, which remained 80% and 60%, respectively.




Equity Incentive – We utilize stock options and restricted stock as the primary methods of equity participation for our executive officers. Equity awards are intended to reward and recognize long-term contribution to the stockholders.  We determine option and restricted stock grants with reference to our own capitalization structure, the Compensation Assessment prepared by Compensia and to internally generated benchmarks that we have established to determine appropriate levels of equity awards for our employees.  Because of the long-term nature of this incentive, the awards were evaluated over a multiyear period.  The Compensation Assessment included an analysis of long-term equity incentives based on a survey of unnamed companies.  The analysis estimated that one share of restricted stock was approximately equivalent to an option to purchase two shares of the Company’s common stock.





In November 2011, the Board approved restricted stock grants of 30,000 and 15,000 shares to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.  These grants were the outcome of the regular periodic review of executive compensation and were at the 50th percentile of the survey of unnamed companies included in the Compensation Assessment.  The grant amounts were for fewer shares than granted to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in prior years due, in part, to the greater contemporaneous value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.




Benefits – We provide a competitive range of health and other benefit programs to our executive officers.  These are provided on the same basis to executive officers and other employees in the United States.  These include health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance and a 401(k) plan. Our employees in Sweden receive benefits at levels that are customary to the country.




Severance and Change of Control – Under provisions of our Chief Executive Officer’s and Chief Financial Officer’s employment agreements, in the event of a termination of employment for reasons other than cause, these officers are entitled to receive salary payments and continuation of certain healthcare benefits for six months together with all bonuses awarded during the prior calendar year, if not yet paid, and a pro-rated bonus for the calendar year in which his employment is terminated.  In the event of a change of control of the Company, the unvested portion of the November 2011 restricted stock grants held by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer will immediately become fully vested.  Additionally, in the event of an actual or constructive termination of employment of our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, as described below under “Employment, Severance, Separation and Change of Control Agreements,” other than for cause, within twelve months after a change of control of the Company, the unvested portion of any other outstanding equity awards held by our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer will immediately become fully vested.  We entered into these arrangements to attract and retain the service of our executive officers.

Section 162(m) Treatment Regarding Performance-Based Equity Awards




Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a public company is generally denied deductions for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers to the extent the compensation for any such individual exceeds one million dollars for the taxable year. Our executive compensation programs are designed to preserve the deductibility of compensation payable to executive officers, although deductibility will be only one among a number of factors considered in determining appropriate levels or types of compensation.




Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program





Our Compensation Committee has addressed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program and the Compensation Committee does not believe our compensation program encourages excessive or inappropriate risk taking for the following reasons:




•
We structure our pay to consist of both fixed and variable compensation. The fixed (or salary) portion of compensation is designed to provide a steady income regardless of Procera’s stock price performance so that executives do not feel pressured to focus exclusively on stock price performance to the detriment of other important business metrics. The variable (cash bonus and equity) portions of compensation are designed to reward both short- and long-term corporate performance. For short-term performance, our cash bonus is awarded based on semi-annual targets for revenue and positive EBITDA. For long-term performance, our stock option awards generally vest over four years and are only valuable if our stock price increases over time; restricted stock awards vest in three years. We believe that these variable elements of compensation are a sufficient percentage of overall compensation to motivate executives to produce superior short- and long-term corporate results, while the fixed element is also sufficiently high that the executives are not encouraged to take unnecessary or excessive risks in doing so.





•
Because positive EBITDA is a key performance measure for determining incentive payments, we believe our executives are encouraged to take a balanced approach that focuses on corporate profitability, and not just revenue targets alone, which by itself could incentivize management to drive sales levels without regard to cost structure. If we are not profitable, there are minimal payouts under the bonus program.





•
We cap our cash bonus at 2x of the target payout, which we believe also mitigates excessive risk taking. Even if the Company dramatically exceeds its targets, bonus payouts are limited.





•
We believe that our focus on positive EBITDA (through our cash bonus program) and stock price performance (through our equity compensation program) provides a check on excessive risk taking. That is, even if our executives could inappropriately increase EBITDA by excessive expense reductions or by abandoning less profitable revenue sources, this would be detrimental to the Company in the long run and could ultimately harm our stock price and the value of their equity awards. Likewise, if our executives were to add revenue sources at low margins in order to generate a higher growth company multiple and increased stock prices, it could decrease EBITDA and the value of their cash bonus payments.





•
Our bonus program has been structured around revenue and EBITDA for the past several years and we have seen no evidence that it encourages unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

Discussion of Summary Compensation and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Tables




Our executive compensation policies and practices, pursuant to which the compensation set forth in the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table was paid or awarded, are described above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis.” A summary of certain material terms of our compensation plans and arrangements is set forth below.




Employment, Severance, Separation and Change of Control Agreements




We have entered into the following employment arrangements with each of the Named Executive Officers.




James F. Brear  On February 11, 2008, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with James F. Brear as Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of the Board.  Pursuant to this agreement, a specified starting salary and bonus was set for Mr. Brear, each subject to annual review and increases at the discretion of the Board. Effective January 1, 2012, Mr. Brear’s annual base salary was increased to $345,000 from $295,000 in 2011.  For 2011 and 2012, Mr. Brear’s on-target annual discretionary performance bonus was and will be equal to 80% of his respective annual base salary.




With the hiring of Mr. Brear in February 2008, the Company granted Mr. Brear an option to purchase 225,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and in November 2009 the Company granted Mr. Brear an option to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  These options shall vest over four years, with 25% of the shares vesting in one year and the remaining shares vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter. In December 2010, the Company granted Mr. Brear 40,000 shares of restricted stock that shall vest in three years.  In November 2011, the Company granted Mr. Brear 30,000 shares of restricted stock that shall vest in three years.

 Table of Contents





Under Mr. Brear’s employment agreement, either the Company or Mr. Brear may terminate his employment at any time.  If the Company terminates Mr. Brear’s employment without cause or Mr. Brear terminates his employment with good reason, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Brear severance equal to six months of his then current base salary, the maintenance of health insurance coverage for Mr. Brear and his eligible dependents for a period of six months, the full amount of any annual bonus awarded for the completed year preceding termination if not already paid, and a pro-rated annual bonus for the calendar year in which his employment terminates.  If the Company terminates Mr. Brear’s employment without cause or Mr. Brear terminates his employment with good reason within twelve months after a change in control, the unvested portion of any equity awards granted to Mr. Brear prior to his termination will immediately become fully vested.




Charles Constanti  On April 27, 2009, the Company entered into an executive employment agreement with Charles Constanti as Chief Financial Officer with employment commencing May 11, 2009.  Pursuant to this agreement, a specified starting salary and bonus was set for Mr. Constanti, each subject to annual review and increases at the discretion of the Board.   Effective January 1, 2012, Mr. Constanti’s annual base salary was increased to $250,000 from $225,000 in 2011.  For 2011 and 2012, Mr. Constanti’s on-target annual discretionary performance bonus was and will be equal to 60% of his respective annual base salary.




With the hiring of Mr. Constanti in May 2009, the Company granted Mr. Constanti an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  This option shall vest over four years, with 25% of the shares vesting in one year and the remaining shares vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.  In December 2010, the Company granted Mr. Constanti 20,000 shares of restricted stock that shall vest in three years.  In November 2011, the Company granted Mr. Constanti 15,000 shares of restricted stock that shall vest in three years.




Under Mr. Constanti’s employment agreement, either the Company or Mr. Constanti may terminate his employment at any time.  If the Company terminates Mr. Constanti’s employment without cause or Mr. Constanti terminates his employment with good reason, the Company will be obligated to pay Mr. Constanti severance equal to six months of his then current base salary, the maintenance of health insurance coverage for Mr. Constanti and his eligible dependents for a period of six months, the full amount of any annual bonus awarded for the completed year preceding termination if not already paid, and a pro-rated annual bonus for the calendar year in which his employment terminates.  If the Company terminates Mr. Constanti’s employment without cause or Mr. Constanti terminates his employment with good reason within twelve months after a change in control, the unvested portion of any equity awards granted to Mr. Constanti prior to his termination will immediately become fully vested.




Potential Payouts upon Termination or Change of Control




Other than the provisions of the executive severance benefits to which our Named Executive Officers would be entitled to at December 31, 2011 as set forth above, and the acceleration provisions of our Named Executive Officers’ November 2011 restricted stock awards, the Company has no liabilities under termination or change of control conditions.  We do not have a formal policy to determine executive severance benefits.  Each executive severance arrangement is negotiated on an individual basis.  If our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer were terminated without cause or terminated his employment with good reason on December 31, 2011, each would be entitled to (i) severance equal to six months of base salary, or $147,500 and $112,500, respectively, as well as (ii) a cash bonus for the second half of 2011 of $297,360 and $170,100, respectively, representing the then-unpaid portion of earned annual bonus.





Under the terms of equity award agreements with our named executive officers, the value of equity award acceleration, in the event of a change of control of Procera and termination without cause or termination for good reason, as of December 31, 2011, is valued at $1,357,951 for Mr. Brear and $852,720 for Mr. Constanti.   The amounts computed assume the termination was effective as of December 31, 2011 and that all eligibility requirements under the equity award agreement were met.  The values represent the portions of the restricted stock and stock options that are assumed to be accelerated, calculated based on the intrinsic value of the equity awards at the closing price of Procera common stock of $15.58 on December 30, 2011, the last trading day of Procera common stock in 2011.

Director Compensation




The elements of director compensation are intended to recognize the responsibilities for committee participation and general board meeting demands as well as compensate for meeting attendance and committee participation and provide equity incentives.  A combination of equity awards and fees are used to compensate non-employee directors for their service on the Board.




Directors who are also Procera’s employees received no additional compensation for serving on the Board during 2011.  Each of our non-employee directors, with the exception of Mr. Pugerude, received an annual retainer of $30,000.  The chair of each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees received an additional annual retainer of $5,000, $5,000 and $2,500, respectively.  In addition, the Compensation Committee approved an additional annual retainer of $10,000 for our Chairman of the Board.  All annual compensation amounts are earned on a quarterly basis.  Each director also receives $1,000 for attending each Board or Committee meeting in person or $500 for attending telephonically.  For the first three quarters of 2011, with the exception of Mr. Pugerude, the annual retainer, meeting fees and additional annual retainers for service as chair of a committee and Chairman of the Board were paid in shares of restricted stock.  Starting in the fourth quarter of 2011, compensation for meeting fees and additional retainers for service as chairman was payable in cash, with the first such cash payment made on January 3, 2012, while the fourth quarter portion of the annual retainer continued to be paid in shares of restricted stock.




Procera also reimbursed non-employee directors for travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board.





2011 Director Compensation.  In 2011, with the exception of Mr. Pugerude, non-employee director compensation included regular restricted stock grants, which vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant, with a total value of $30,000, granted quarterly as shares of restricted stock having a value of $7,500, with the quantity of shares measured based on the closing price on the date of grant, for each quarter of service provided.  In addition, for the first three quarters of 2011, the non-employee directors received fees consisting of additional restricted stock grants for attendance of meetings and service as the Chairman of the Board or Chairman of a Board Committee.  Starting in the fourth quarter of 2011, such additional fees were payable in cash, in arrears, on the first business day of each quarter, with the first such payment on January 3, 2012. The established fees were as follows:

The Chief Executive Officer was the only employee who served as a director in 2011.  Mr. Pugerude, the director nominated for election to our Board in connection with the Master OEM Purchase and Sales Agreement with GENBAND, received no fees for his service in 2011.

Item13.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence




Transactions With Related Persons




Related-Person Transactions policy and Procedures




It is our practice and policy to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding related-person transactions, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. A related-person is any executive officer, director, or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons. Under its charter, our Audit Committee is charged with reviewing and approving all related-person transactions as required by NASDAQ rules. In considering related-person transactions, the Audit Committee takes into account the relevant available facts and circumstances. In the event a director has an interest in the proposed transaction, the director must recuse himself or herself from the deliberations and approval.




Certain Related-Person Transactions




Since January 1, 2011, there has not been nor are there currently proposed any transactions 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 director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our common stock or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than the following transactions:





Master OEM Purchase and Sales Agreement




On July 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Master OEM Purchase and Sales Agreement with GENBAND, pursuant to which GENBAND may purchase any of the Company’s existing software and hardware products, as well as procure licenses and services related to such products from Procera.  In conjunction with this agreement, in June 2011, the Board nominated and the Company’s stockholders elected, Mark Pugerude, President of Global Sales and Business Development of GENBAND, as a director of the Company.





During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized revenue of approximately $0.9 million on sales to GENBAND.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had accounts receivable of approximately $0.1 million from GENBAND.




Employment Agreements




Information on our executives employment agreements is located under the caption, “Employment, Severance, Separation and Change of Control Agreements” above.




Director and Officer Indemnification Agreements




In addition to the indemnification provisions contained in our articles of incorporation and bylaws, we generally enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers.  These agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify the director or officer against specified expenses and liabilities, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlements, paid by the individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of the individual’s status or service as our director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct or conduct that is knowingly fraudulent or deliberately dishonest, and to advance expenses incurred by the individual in connection with any proceeding against the individual with respect to which the individual may be entitled to indemnification by us.  We also intend to enter into these agreements with our future directors and executive officers.




Company Policy Regarding Related-Person Transactions




It is our policy that the Audit Committee approve or ratify transactions involving directors, executive officers or principal stockholders or members of their immediate families or entities controlled by any of them or in which they have a substantial ownership interest in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and that are otherwise reportable under SEC disclosure rules.  Such transactions include employment of immediate family members of any director or executive officer.  Management advises the Audit Committee on a regular basis of any such transaction that is proposed to be entered into or continued and seeks approval.  The Company has not yet adopted a written related-person transactions policy.





Independence of the Board of Directors




As required under The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”) listing standards, a majority of the members of a listed company’s board of directors must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the board of directors.  The Board consults with the Company’s outside counsel to ensure that the Board’s determinations are consistent with relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the definition of “independent,” including those set forth in pertinent listing standards of NASDAQ, as in effect from time to time.


17
 Table of Contents





Consistent with these considerations, after review of all relevant identified transactions or relationships between each director, or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior management and its independent auditors, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following six (6) directors are independent directors within the meaning of the applicable NASDAQlisting standards:  Mr. McClendon, Mr. Hillberg, Ms. Losty, Mr. Saponas, Mr. Slavin and Mr. Stich.  In making this determination, the Board found that none of these directors had a material or other disqualifying relationship with the Company.  In addition to transactions required to be disclosed under SEC rules, the Board considered certain other relationships in making its independence determinations, and determined in each case that such other relationships did not impair the director’s ability to exercise independent judgment on our behalf. Specifically, the Board considered the following information:





·
In November 2006, Ms. Losty purchased shares of our equity securities in a private placement financing and was granted warrants associated with this financing.  Ms. Losty was appointed to the Board in March 2007.





·
On September 16, 2008, the Company closed a private placement sale of 524,466 shares of its common stock at prices of $11.00 and $11.70 on a post-reverse split basis.  Mr. Saponas invested $1 million in this private placement at a price of $11.70 per share on a post-reverse split basis.





Mr. Brear, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, is notanindependent director by virtue of his employment with the Company.  Mr. Pugerude is President of Global Sales and Business Development of GENBAND and our former director, Charles Vogt, is President and Chief Executive Officer of GENBAND. Neither is or was anindependent director because GENBAND is a company with which Procera has entered into a Master OEM Purchase and Sales Agreement, as described above.





The Board has determined that each member of each committee meets the applicable NASDAQ rules and regulations regarding “independence” and that each member is free of any relationship that would impair his or her individual exercise of independent judgment with regard to the Company.

Our Company policy is that all such services must be approved prior to the commencement of the engagement. The Audit Committee is also required to pre-approve the estimated fees for such services, as well as any subsequent changes to the terms of the engagement. The Audit Committee has delegated the authority (within specified limits) to the chair of the Audit Committee to pre-approve such services if it is not practical to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting to seek such approval. The Audit Committee chair is required to report to the Audit Committee at the following Audit Committee meeting any such services approved by the chair under such delegation.

 Table of Contents





The Audit Committee will only approve those services that would not impair the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm and which are consistent with the rules of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.




Under this policy, the Audit Committee meets at least annually to review and where appropriate approve the audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Any subsequent requests to have the independent registered public accounting firm perform additional services must be submitted in writing to the Audit Committee by our chief financial officer, together with the independent registered public accounting firm, which written request must include an affirmation from each that the requested services are consistent with the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules on auditor independence.
