Item 1.01
Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement
On April 26, 2011, the Company and James Collas entered into an Agreement and Release pursuant to which the parties agreed that effective as of April 26, 2011, (i) Mr. Collas shall resign as an officer and director of the Company; (ii) Mr. Collas Employment Agreement dated January 31, 2011 shall be terminated and Mr. Collas shall continue his employment with the Company as a non-executive on an at-will basis; (iii) the Company shall pay Mr. Collas $400,000.00 in satisfaction of all of its obligations under the terminated Employment Agreement; and (iv) Mr. Collas shall surrender to the Company 1,000,000 shares of Company common stock held by him.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On April 26, 2011, James Collas resigned as our Companys Chairman of the Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Collas will remain employed by our Company and will concentrate his efforts on our Companys platform development and operations. Mark Sandson, a member of our Companys Board of Directors since September 2008, has been named our Companys interim Chairman of our Board of Directors and interim Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Sandson will assume the Companys executive leadership responsibilities and lead the search for a new Chief Executive Officer for the Company.
On April 20, 2011, our Board of Directors approved certain compensation matters for the named executive officers of the Company: James Collas and Jonathan Shultz. The Board of Directors (with Mr. Collas abstaining in matters pertaining to him personally) approved individual cash bonus payments in the following amounts: James Collas, $57,500; and Jonathan Shultz, $45,000. These bonuses were paid based upon our Companys 2011 Executive Incentive Bonus Plan (the Plan), which provides for bonuses based on the Companys obtaining certain levels of new card signups for its BillMyParents prepaid debit card product offering. A bonus was also granted to a non-named executive officer member of our Companys management team.
The Board also established future benchmark levels of card signups for executives under the Plan through the remainder of 2011. Upon the future achievement of the benchmark levels, our Companys Board of Directors would authorize up to three additional bonus payments at comparable amounts to those just paid.
