EXPLANATORY NOTE I

This Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for HSW International, Inc. amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2011 (the “Original Filing”).

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to amend Item 11 – Executive Compensation and Item 12 – Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.  Our Original Filing incorrectly reported Eric Orme’s exercisable and unexercisable outstanding equity awards at year-end 2010 and inadvertently included an outdated table setting forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock.

This Amendment No. 1 includes currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, attached as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32 to this Amendment No. 1.

Except as set forth above, the Original Filing has not been amended, updated or otherwise modified.  This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after March 29, 2011, the date of the Original Filing, or modify or update those disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events.

 
 

 


ITEM 11.  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Introduction

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approves all compensation and awards to the individuals included on the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers”).  Annually, the Compensation Committee reviews the performance and compensation of the chief executive officer, or CEO, and, following discussions with the CEO and, where it deems appropriate, other advisors, modifies executives’ compensation levels for the subsequent year.  For the remaining named executive officers, the CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee for approval.

The Compensation Committee met six times in 2010.  The Compensation Committee’s charter provides that it will (i) develop, approve, and report to the Board regarding the Company's overall compensation philosophy and strategy, (ii) establish corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation, evaluate the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determine and approve the CEO’s compensation level based on this evaluation, (iii) review and approve the compensation structure for the other executive officers and review and approve the CEO’s recommendations with respect to executive officer compensation, (iv) oversee CEO and executive succession planning and development, and (v) make recommendations to the Board with respect to director compensation.  In addition to the committee members, in the past the CEO and other officers from the Company have been asked to attend meetings from time to time as the committee deems appropriate.  The Compensation Committee makes reports to the full Board of Directors based on its activities and, for certain activities, such as the determination of Board of Directors compensation, the Compensation Committee will make recommendations to the full Board for approval.


Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

We work to attract and retain proven, talented executives who we believe will help to put us in the best position for growth and to meet our Company’s objectives.  We attempt to recruit executives with technology, internet, media or other experience that we believe is transferable to our business with the expectation that they will share their knowledge to create and develop a successful organization.  We strive to provide our named executive officers with a compensation package that is competitive for a given position in our industry and geographic region.  The purpose of our executive compensation program is to provide incentives for our executives to meet or exceed expectations.  We believe our compensation objectives are achieved through a combination of base salary, incentive bonus, equity compensation and other benefits.  With the exception of equity, or stock-based compensation, the compensation is paid in cash.

Our stock-based compensation provides a means for our executives to obtain a degree of ownership of our Company in an attempt to align corporate and individual goals.  The issuance of equity compensation is generally not based on performance but rather a component of each officer’s total compensation package.  As bonuses are based on both individual and company-wide performance and objectives, we offer a market-competitive base salary for executive positions so as to mitigate the volatility we might experience in our equity pricing.  It is our philosophy that bonuses are to be used to provide an added incentive to meet additional objectives which exceed ordinary expectations and not as salary itself.

Elements of Compensation

During 2010, the compensation packages for our named executive officers included three principal elements:  base salary; performance based (or guaranteed) cash bonuses; and long-term equity incentive awards.
 
Base Salary. Base salary for our executives is determined based on the specific level and experience of the executive and responsibilities of his or her position.  Generally, the goal is to achieve a salary that is competitive with the salary for similar positions in similar industries within our Company’s geographic region.  The Compensation Committee reviews salaries during its annual review process when an increase, if any, is determined.  Any increase in salary for the named executive officers is subject to Compensation Committee approval.  In addition, base salaries may be adjusted, on occasion at the Compensation Committee’s discretion, to realign a particular salary with current market conditions.  Upon Mr. Swayne’s becoming our CEO in September 2009, we entered into a Letter Agreement with Mr. Swayne with a term of three years.  Under that agreement, Mr. Swayne’s initial base salary was $275,000 per year, increased to $300,000 per year effective January 1, 2010, and will be reviewed annually beginning in 2011 by the Board for any discretionary merit-based increases.

Long-term Equity Incentive Awards.   Granting stock options encourages our executives to focus on our Company’s future success.  The Company issues grants for stock options under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan adopted June 15, 2010.  The number of grants recipients receive is generally based on their particular position within the Company.  All grants require the approval of the Compensation Committee of our Board.  In the event of a change in control in HSW International, any unvested options held by each of our named executive officers will fully vest on the date of the change of control.  Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Swayne received options to purchase 41,000 shares of HSW International’s common stock.  Five thousand of the options vested immediately upon the grant, and the remainder will vest ratably over a period of three years.  All options vest automatically upon a change of control, as defined in the Letter Agreement.


Payments in Connection with a Change of Control or Termination

In the event of a change in control in HSW International, any unvested options held by each of Messrs. Swayne, and Orme and Ms. Meredith will fully vest on the date of the change of control.  If a change of control had occurred on December 31, 2010, the value of the options that would have vested was $919,000.

If HSW International terminates Mr. Swayne’s employment without cause (as defined in the Letter Agreement) and Mr. Swayne executes a release acceptable to HSW International, Mr. Swayne will be entitled to amounts earned or vested as of his termination date, plus his base salary in effect as of his termination date and continuing medical benefits for a period of (a) nine months if he is terminated between October 1, 2010 and September 30, 2011, or (b) six months if he is terminated between October 1, 2011 and the end of the term of the employment agreement.  If Mr. Swayne had been terminated on December 31, 2010, the value of his severance payments would have been $225,000.


Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid for services rendered to us and our subsidiaries in all capacities during the years ended December 31, 2009, and December 31, 2010, by our principal executive officer, and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than the principal executive officer who were serving as executive officers at the end of the last completed fiscal year.   The officers listed on the table set forth below are referred to collectively in this annual report as the named executive officers.

Includes annual retainers for members of the Board of Directors, retainers for the chairman of each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees, and retainers for the members of the Special Committee established to review the Sharecare transactions.
 
(3)
Bruce L. Campbell, Michael Cascone, and Jeffrey T. Arnold received no compensation as directors because they are employed by Discovery, which owns approximately 43% of our shares.  Mr. Arnold received all of his compensation pursuant to his Consulting Agreement, described below.
 
(4)
Mr. Jones did not stand for reelection at our 2010 annual meeting and ceased to be a director on June 15, 2010.
 

On February 3, 2010, our board of directors adopted a Director Compensation Plan for the year ended December 31, 2010, for its independent directors. The plan provides for the following:
 
Annual minimum cash retainer
 
$
5,000
 
Annual restricted stock grant value
 
$
35,000
 
Total annual compensation
 
$
40,000
 

In addition, the chairman of our Compensation and Nominating and Governance Committees each receives additional cash compensation of $2,500 per year, and the chairman of our Audit Committee receives additional compensation of $5,000 per year.  The restricted stock grant is limited to the per share price for 2,000 shares.  The excess value is then added to the cash retainer.  We also reimburse all directors for HSWI-related travel expenses in accordance with our Company-wide policy.
  



The terms for the payment of our independent director compensation include the following:
 
 
Cash retainers are paid quarterly in arrears.
 
Restricted stock is granted at the beginning of the year in an amount then equal to the specified cash value determined as the average of the first 15 trading days of the year, resulting in a per share value for our 2009 grant of $3.50.
 
The number of restricted stock shares granted is calculated by dividing $35,000 by the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common stock for the first fifteen trading days of 2009 (the “Per-Share Price”).  If the resulting quotient exceeds 2,000 shares, the value (calculated using the Per-Share Price) of the shares in excess shall be added to the annual cash retainer.
 
Restricted stock vests in full on December 31 of the year of grant, contingent upon the recipient having attended at least 75% of board meetings held during the year; otherwise, vesting will be prorated based on attendance.
 
On June 15, 2010, our independent directors, namely Messrs. Booth, Botts, Kingsbury and Tao, each received 2,000 shares of restricted stock per the director compensation plan described above.

ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 1, 2011 for the following:

Each person or entity known to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding common stock;

Each director;

Each of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation table; and,

All current executive officers and directors as a group.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 5,424,455  shares of common stock outstanding as of March 1, 2011, together with applicable options for each stockholder.  Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, based on factors including voting and investment power with respect to shares.  Common stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days after March 1, 2011, are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding those options, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person.  The address of each executive officer and director is c/o HSW International, Inc., 3280 Peachtree Road, Suite 600, Atlanta, Georgia 30305.   For information relating to beneficial owners of greater than 5% of our common stock who are not insiders, we rely upon the reports filed by such persons or entities on Schedule 13G.  The beneficial ownership table is presented on a post-reverse stock split basis.
