Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among the individuals comprising our Board of Directors and executive officers.

Legal Proceedings
 
None of the nominees nor any director or executive officer has been involved in the certain legal proceedings listed in Item 401 of Regulation S-K.

The Board of Directors and Committees

Subject to certain exceptions, under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), a listed company’s board of directors must consist of a majority of independent directors.  Currently, our board of directors has determined that each of the non-management directors, Zheng Jinfeng, Zhao Bao Jiang, Kelly Wang and Chia Yong Whatt, is an “independent” director as defined by the listing standards of NASDAQ currently in effect and approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC.  All members of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees satisfy the “independence” standards applicable to members of each such committee. The board of directors made this affirmative determination regarding these directors’ independence based on discussions with the directors and on its review of the directors’ responses to a standard questionnaire regarding employment and compensation history; affiliations, family and other relationships; and transactions with the Company. The board of directors considered relationships and transactions between each director or any member of his immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The purpose of the board of director’s review with respect to each director was to determine whether any such relationships or transactions were inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent under the NASDAQ rules.

Board Committees
 
Audit Committee  

We established our audit committee in July 2007. The audit committee consists of Zheng Jinfeng, Zhao Bao Jiang, and Kelly Wang, each of whom is an independent director.

The purpose of the audit committee is to represent and assist our board of directors in its general oversight of our accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of the financial statements and internal control and audit functions. The audit committee’s responsibilities include:

·  
The appointment, replacement, compensation, and oversight of work of the independent auditor, including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting, for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services.

The Compensation Committee also reviews and determines compensation of our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer. The board of directors has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee. A copy of the Compensation Committee Charter is posted on our corporate website at: www.caebuilding.com.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
 
Our Board of Directors has adopted a code of ethics, which applies to all our directors, officers and employees. Our code of ethics is intended to comply with the requirements of Item 406 of Regulation S-K. Our code of ethics is posted on our Internet website at www.caebuilding.com.

Any waivers of the application and any amendments to our code of ethics must be made by our board of directors. Any waivers of, and any amendments to, our code of ethics will be disclosed promptly on our Internet website.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires our directors and executive officers to file reports of holdings and transactions in our stock with the SEC. Based on a review of written representations from our executive officers and directors, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, our directors, officers and owners of more than 10% of our common stock complied with all applicable filing requirements.

 ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Prior to August 2009, we were considered a “controlled company” pursuant to Rule 4350(c)(5) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, as one of our stockholders, KGE Group Limited, owned more than 50% of our voting power.  As a result, we were exempt from certain corporate governance requirements as a listed company on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, including the requirement that our executive compensation be determined by a majority of our independent directors.  We formed our compensation committee in June 2009.  Prior to the formation of our compensation committee, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Luo Ken Yi, determined the compensation for our executive officers that was earned and paid in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 and our Board of Directors, as a whole, approved the compensation.

The compensation committee formed by our Board of Directors in June 2009 is comprised of non-employee directors.  The compensation committee will perform, at least annually, a strategic review of the compensation program for our executive officers to determine whether it provides adequate incentives and motivation to our executive officers and whether it adequately compensates our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives.  Those companies may or may not be public companies or companies located in the PRC or even, in all cases, companies in a similar business.

In 2010, our compensation committee will determine compensation levels for our executive officers.  Compensation for our current executive officers is determined with the goal of attracting and retaining high quality executive officers and encouraging them to work as effectively as possible on our behalf. Key areas of corporate performance taken into account in setting compensation policies and decisions are growth of sales, cost control, profitability, and innovation. The key factors may vary depending on which area of business on which a particular executive officer’s work is focused. Compensation is designed to reward executive officers for successfully meeting their individual functional objectives and for their contributions to our overall development. For these reasons, the elements of compensation of our executive officers are salary and bonus.

4

Salary is paid to cover an appropriate level of living expenses for the executive officers and the bonus is paid to reward the executive officer for individual and company achievement. Accordingly, the amount of salary received by our executive officers has traditionally been lower than the amount of the bonus.

With respect to the amount of a bonus, the compensation committee evaluates our company’s achievements for the fiscal year based on performance factors and results of operations such as revenues generated, cost of revenues, net income, and whether we obtain significant contracts. The compensation committee also conducts a monthly and annual evaluation of the achievement level of an executive based on individual performance measurements, such as contribution to the achievement of the company’s goals and individual performance metrics based on their positions and responsibilities. Bonuses are paid at the end of each fiscal year.

We believe that long-term performance is aided by the use of stock-based awards, which we believe create an ownership culture among our named executive officers that fosters beneficial, long-term performance by our company.  On June 12, 2009, our stockholders approved the China Architectural Engineering, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was previously adopted by our Board of Directors on April 30, 2009.  The Plan, as amended by our Board of Directors on June 19, 2009, has a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock available for grant under the Plan.  We believe an equity incentive plan provides our employees, including our named executive officers, as well as our directors and consultants, with incentives to help align their interests with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee believes that the use of stock-based awards promotes our overall executive compensation objectives and expects that stock options will become a significant source of compensation for our executives.

We do not have a general equity grant policy with respect to the size and terms of option grants, but our Compensation Committee will evaluate our achievements for the fiscal year based on performance factors and results of operations such as revenues generated, cost of revenues, and net income. We do not currently have established quantitative targets.  

On January 18, 2010, we approved the issuance of a total of 1.9 million shares of restricted stock (the “Restricted Stock Grants”) to certain of our officers, directors, and key employees under the China Architectural Engineering, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was previously approved by our stockholders at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  As approved, the Restricted Stock Grants were subject to and contingent upon the Company’s filing of a registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which occurred on January 21, 2010.  Included in the Restricted Stock Grants were issuances to the executive officers and members of the Board of Directors, as set forth below.

As granted, the Restricted Stock Grants were set to vest such that ¼ would vest on March 31, 2010, ¼ would vest on June 30, 2010, ¼ would vest on September 30, 2010, and the remaining ¼ would vest on December 31, 2010, except for the Restricted Stock Grant that was made to Charles John Anderson, which will vest 100% upon the date of grant.  The vesting of the grants were subject to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Agreement entered into by and between the recipients and us.  In the first quarter of 2010, we opted to accelerate vesting of the restricted stock awards so that they became fully vested immediately.  Since becoming a public company in the United States in 2007, we had not regularly made equity compensation grants and began to make sure grants in 2010, and the grant of the awards was to reward our officers, directors, and employees for their contributions to our company’s establishment as a public company and encourage continued support of our company.  We intend to use equity compensation in the future as a means to compensate our officers, directors, and employees.

We believe that the salaries, bonuses and equity compensation paid to our executive officers during 2009, 2008, and 2007 are indicative of the objectives of our compensation program and reflect the fair value of the services provided to our company, as measured by the local market in China, Hong Kong, the United States and those other areas where our executive officers may work. We determine market rate by conducting a comparison with the local geographic area averages and industry averages these countries.  Raises for executive officers may be based on the increased amount of responsibilities to be assumed by each of the executive officers as we expand our operations and continue as a publicly reporting company.

Executive compensation for 2010 will follow the same evaluation methods as were used for 2009. We may adjust our bonus evaluations upwards, but, in such case, we do not intend to increase it by more than five percent.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 of the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, in addition to, as applicable, our three most highly compensated officers whose annual compensation exceeded $100,000, and up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been required but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the last fiscal year (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers”).

Gene Michael Bennett

7

On October 5, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement (the “Bennett Agreement”) with our then Vice President of Finance, Gene Michael Bennett.  The Bennett Agreement has an effective date of September 28, 2009.  According to the Bennett Agreement, Mr. Bennett will receive an annual base salary of US$180,000.  Mr. Bennett will also be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable business expenses, two weeks of paid vacation annually, a housing allowance equal to 10,000 RMB (which is equal to approximately US$1,470) per month, and payment of certain dues to professional associations and societies, as approved by the Company.

Pursuant to the Bennett Agreement, Mr. Bennett received a sign-on bonus of stock options exercisable into 100,000 shares of common stock (the “Initial Options”), which vest at the rate of 10,000 of the underlying shares per month, with the first vesting of 10,000 shares occurring on November 27, 2009 and the last vesting of 10,000 options ending upon the total vested being 100,000.  Mr. Bennett entered into a Stock Option Agreement on October 5, 2009 for the Initial Options, pursuant to which the options are exercisable at $1.56 per share and have a term of five years.  Pursuant to the Stock Option Agreement, (i) upon termination of service for any reason, any non-vested portion of the option expires immediately; (ii) upon termination of service due to death or disability, the vested portion of the option is exercisable by the Mr. Bennett (or, in the event of the Mr. Bennett’s death, the Mr. Bennett’s beneficiary) for one year after the Mr. Bennett’s termination; and (iii) upon termination of service for any reason other than death or disability, the vested portion of the option is exercisable for a period of 90 days following Mr. Bennett’s Termination, provided, however, that all options, whether vested or unvested, will terminate immediately for termination for cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement.

Pursuant to the Bennett Agreement, Mr. Bennett will also receive an annual grant of stock options on each of September 28, 2010 and September 28, 2011, where the number of shares underlying the options will be determined by the following formula:

 
(100,000)
 
X
(Average Closing Trading Price of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported by NASDAQ during the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the respective anniversary date)
(Exercise Price of the Initial Options)
 

On each of September 28th of 2012, 2013, and 2014, Mr. Bennett will receive additional grants of stock options with the underlying number of shares to be determined with the same formula as the Initial Options except that the denominator will be based on the average closing trading price of the Company’s common stock during the 30 calendar days immediately preceding September 28th of the previous year, per the formula as follows:

 
(100,000)
 
X
(Average Closing Trading Price of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported by NASDAQ during the 30 calendar days immediately preceding the respective anniversary date)
(Average Closing Trading Price of a share of the Company’s common stock as reported by NASDAQ during the 30 calendar days immediately preceding September 28th of the previous year)

The Bennett Agreement has a term of five years and will expire on September 27, 2014, unless the Bennett Agreement is terminated earlier or extended by mutual agreement of the parties pursuant to the terms of the Bennett Agreement.  The Company’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, and with or without cause, terminate the Bennett Agreement upon notice with a majority of vote of the Board.  In the event of such termination, Mr. Bennett would be entitled to receive his then-monthly base salary for the month in which his employment was terminated and for two consecutive months thereafter as an agreed upon severance payment; provided that, however, that Mr. Bennett signs a release and waiver agreement upon termination of his employment.
 
Mr. Bennett may terminate the Bennett Agreement with 90 days’ prior written notice in the event that we materially reduce his duties or authority, unless the 90 days’ notice is waived in writing by us.  Mr. Bennett may also, in his discretion, terminate the Bennett Agreement if there is a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Bennett Agreement.  In these events, Mr. Bennett would be entitled to the Severance Payments, conditioned upon the execution of a release and waiver agreement.  During the term of the Bennett Agreement and for 24 months thereafter, Mr. Bennett agreed not to solicit clients or employees from us and not to compete against us in the Asia Pacific.

Li Chengcheng

On March 30, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Li as our Chief Financial Officer. The agreement had a probationary period of three months, during which either party could terminate the agreement with no notice during the first month and seven days’ notice thereafter. After Mr. Li’s successful completion of the probationary period, either party could terminate the agreement with two months’ notice. In the event of negligence, misconduct, and other similar actions or events, we could terminate Mr. Li’s employment without notice. According to the agreement, Mr. Li received an initial annual base salary of $120,000, to be reviewed for adjustment after two years. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, Mr. Li was entitled to a $30,000 bonus. In addition, during the first two years of service under the agreement, Mr. Li was entitled to a cash bonus of 6% of a bonus pool, which is defined in the agreement as 0.3% of our total revenue plus 5% of the after-tax profit, as shown in our consolidated accounts. Any such cash bonus was conditional on Mr. Li being employed by us at the end of the relevant year. Any bonus was to be paid within three months after the audit report was available for financial years 2009 and 2010. Furthermore, after completing the first year of employment under the agreement, Mr. Li was entitled to receive 50,000 shares of our  common stock; provided that, however, Mr. Li was still employed by us at the end of the year. Mr. Li agreed not to compete with us, have business dealings with, or solicit or interfere with the relationship of, our clients or prospective clients during his employment or within six months after termination of his employment, except where we wrongfully terminate Mr. Li’s employment.  Effective November 6, 2009, we terminated Mr. Li’s employment agreement and Mr. Li ceased to serve as our Chief Financial Officer.  We terminated the agreement with payment in lieu of two months’ notice pursuant to the agreement.

Albert Jan Grisel

On January 12, 2009, we entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Financial Officer, Albert Jan Grisel, effective as of October 16, 2008. According to the agreement, Mr. Grisel, as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, would receive an initial annual base salary of HKD$1,852,500, which is approximately US$239,000. The annual base salary would be reviewed every two years after the effective date of the agreement. In addition, Mr. Grisel would receive a cash bonus of US$37,500 for the year ended December 31, 2008 and US$150,000 for the year ending December 31, 2009, payable within three months after the relevant financial year. Mr. Grisel would also receive a one-time payment of US$75,000 and a certain number of shares of the Company’s common stock to be determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board of Directors. Mr. Grisel would also receive 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and 50,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the 12th, 24th and 36th month of his continued service with the Company. The options shall have a six-year term and an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ stock market on the date of the grant of the options. The share and option grants would be subject to anti-dilution protection such that the number of shares that Mr. Grisel would receive would be adjusted if additional shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of the date of grant. He would also receive medical and disability insurance from the Company. Mr. Grisel will also receive a transportation allowance of HK$15,000 payable monthly.
 
During the term of the agreement and for six months thereafter, Mr. Grisel agreed not to solicit clients or employees from the Company and not to compete against the Company in Hong Kong. Either party may terminate the agreement for any reason upon providing three months’ written notice to the other party or by the Company by payment in lieu of notice. The Company may terminate the agreement immediately without notice or payment in lieu of notice in accordance with Section 9 of the Employment Ordinance of Hong Kong. The Company may terminate the agreement upon seven days’ written notice in the event Mr. Grisel for a limited number of permitted reasons, such as criminal convictions. If the Company terminates the agreement other than in accordance with Section 9 of the Employment Ordinance of Hong Kong or for one of the Permitted Reasons, Mr. Grisel is entitled to six months’ salary, including a pro rata portion of the share and option grants and cash bonus, in addition to any payment in lieu of notice. Mr. Grisel resigned as CFO of our company on March 31, 2009 to become the Vice President of KGE Group Ltd., the single largest shareholder of our Company.

Charles John Anderson

We entered into an employment agreement with Charles John Anderson on March 12, 2008. Mr. Anderson’s employment agreement has a term of five years and it will automatically renew for successive one-year periods thereafter unless either party provides 180-day prior written notice or unless terminated earlier in accordance with agreement. During the term of the Anderson Agreement, either party may terminate the agreement with 120-day prior written notice. According to the Anderson Agreement, Mr. Anderson will receive an annual base salary of $190,000, in addition to a commission that will be based on all cash received by the Company on all sales of our goods or services made pursuant to contracts originated primarily as the result of the efforts of Mr. Anderson during the term of the agreement (“Employee Sales”). Mr. Anderson will receive a cash payment equal to one-half percent (0.50%) of Employee Sales up to $20 million per annum. Mr. Anderson’s commission rate is adjusted to one-quarter percent (0.25 %) for Employee Sales in excess of $20 million per annum. Mr. Anderson will receive his commission payments in three installments, as follows: (i) the first payment will be 50% of the total commissions for a contract and will be paid once we receive the first payment from the customer, provided that, however, the first payment on each contract cannot exceed a total of US$100,000; (ii) the second payment will be 80% of total commissions, on a cumulative basis, of a such contract, including any amounts paid in the first payment, and will be paid once we receive payment of at least 50% of the total payments due under the contract; and (iii) the third and final payment will be for the remaining 20% of the total commissions for the contract and will be paid once we receive the last payment from the customer.

All shares received by Mr. Anderson will be subject to a twelve-month lock up restriction. Mr. Anderson will be eligible to receive an annual bonus at the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors.

Equity Incentive Plans

2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan

On June 12, 2009, our stockholders approved the China Architectural Engineering, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”). Our Board of Directors approved the 2009 Plan subject to the stockholders’ approval on April 30, 2009.  The 2009 Plan, as originally approved by the Board and stockholders, the 2009 Plan reserved a total of 5.0 million shares authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan.  On June 17, 2009, the Board amended the plan to reduced the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2009 Plan to a total of 2.0 million shares.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2009 Plan and NASDAQ rules, no stockholder approval of the amendment to the 2009 Plan was required.

The Board may at any time amend or terminate the 2009 Plan, provided that no such action may be taken that adversely affects any rights or obligations with respect to any awards theretofore made under the 2009 Plan without the consent of the recipient.  No awards may be made under the 2009 Plan after the tenth anniversary of its effective date.  Certain provisions of the Incentive Plan relating to performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Code will expire on the fifth anniversary of the effective date.  Awards under the Incentive Plan may include incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted shares of common stock, restricted stock units, performance share or unit awards, other stock-based awards and cash-based incentive awards.

The 2009 Plan is administered by the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Board has the authority to determine, within the limits of the express provisions of the 2009 Plan, the individuals to whom awards will be granted, the nature, amount and terms of such awards and the objectives and conditions for earning such awards.  The Board generally has discretion to delegate its authority under the 2009 Plan to a committee of the Board or a subcommittee, or to such other party or parties, including officers of the Company, as the Board deems appropriate.  The Board may grant awards to any employee, director, consultant or other person providing services to the Company or its affiliates.  The maximum awards that can be granted under the 2009 Plan to a single participant in any calendar year is 1,500,000 shares of common stock (whether through grants of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or other awards of common stock or rights with respect thereto) or $1 million in the form of cash-based incentive awards.

The 2009 Plan replaces the China Architectural Engineering, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (“2007 EIP”), which has been frozen and under which no further grants or awards will be made.  The Board did not grant any awards pursuant to the 2007 EIP and there are no options, shares, or other securities outstanding under the 2007 EIP.

As granted, the Restricted Stock Grants were set to vest such that ¼ would vest on March 31, 2010, ¼ would vest on June 30, 2010, ¼ would vest on September 30, 2010, and the remaining ¼ would vest on December 31, 2010.  The vesting of the grants were subject to the terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Agreement entered into by and between the recipients and us.  In the first quarter of 2010, we opted to accelerate vesting of the restricted stock awards so that they became fully vested immediately.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitations of Liability

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware and are governed by Delaware law. Under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, we can indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Our certificate of incorporation provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, our directors shall not be liable for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty of care to us and our stockholders. This provision in the certificate of incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in appropriate circumstances equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violations of the law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our bylaws further provide that our Board of Directors has discretion to indemnify our officers and other employees. We are required to advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly on request, all expenses incurred by any director or executive officer in connection with that proceeding on receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of that director or executive officer to repay those amounts if it should be determined ultimately that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise. We are not, however, required to advance any expenses in connection with any proceeding if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by our Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested Board members that (i) the party seeking an advance acted in bad faith or deliberately breached his or her duty to us or our stockholders and (ii) as a result of such actions by the party seeking an advance, it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be determined that such party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to the applicable sections of our bylaws.

We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than our payment of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We may enter into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers that are, in some cases, broader than the specific indemnification provisions permitted by Delaware law, and that may provide additional procedural protection. To date, we have not entered into any indemnification agreements with our directors or officers, but may choose to do so in the future. Such indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to:

 
indemnify officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise because of their status as officers or directors;
 
 
advance expenses, as incurred, to officers and directors in connection with a legal proceeding, subject to limited exceptions; or
 
 
obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance.
 
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees in which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Those shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

·  
Each named executive officer;

Each director; and
