-------------- Note: Former director and officer Larry Ayers received 30,000 options at exercise price of $1.96 on October 15, 2001 expiring in ten years from the date of grant and representing 4% of total options granted to employees. These options were cancelled effective with Mr. Ayers resignation from the Registrant. OPTIONS EXERCISED IN FISCAL 2002 There were no options exercised during fiscal 2002. There were no SARs outstanding during fiscal 2002. The value of unexercised in-the-money options at fiscal year-end was calculated based on the closing sales price of the Common Stock reported by Nasdaq on that date. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CERTAIN EXECUTIVE OFFICERS SED International, Inc. has employment agreements with Gerald Diamond, Jean Diamond, Mark Diamond, Barry Diamond and Ronell Rivera. Gerald Diamond's employment agreement with SED International is for a seven year period commencing on July 1, 1998. Thereafter, the term of the agreement is "evergreen" and it renews annually until it is terminated by the Registrant or Mr. G. Diamond pursuant to its terms. The agreement, however, is subject to automatic one-year extensions following the end of each year of employment, unless either SED International or Mr. G. Diamond gives notice within a specified period prior to the end of the year that the employment agreement will not be extended beyond its then-current term. Effective January 1, 2000, Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement was amended by modifying the change in control provisions of the employment agreement to provide that on the occurrence of a change in control, Mr. G. Diamond will have the option to demand an immediate payment equal to three times the amount to be paid to Mr. G. Diamond for the remainder of the term of the contract, with a minimum term in this event of 12 months. Previously Mr. G. Diamond's contract provided that on a change in control he would receive payments equal to the amounts to be paid under the remaining term of the contract. Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $371,564 (as of November 1, 2001), increased annually in an amount based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index. Under the terms of the employment agreement, in addition to annual base salary, Mr. G. Diamond is eligible to receive annual cash bonuses equal to five percent of the Registrant's Pretax Adjusted Annual Income, which means with respect to a given fiscal year (a) the sum of earnings before taxes and minority interests of the Registrant as reported on its audited consolidated statement of operations for such fiscal year, excluding, in all cases, (i) any nonrecurring income and non recurring costs or expenses, which income, costs or expenses are extraordinary in the reasonable opinion of the Board, all as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, (ii) any interest income or expense and (iii) additional amortization or depreciation or increase in the cost of goods sold resulting from any asset revaluations or goodwill, less (b) $6,000,000. Mr. G. Diamond was not eligible to receive an annual cash bonus under his employment agreement for fiscal 2002 because the Registrant did not have any Pretax Adjusted Annual Income for that year. Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement also provides him with an automobile allowance, disability insurance coverage and a benefit payable to his surviving spouse, if any, upon his death. Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement includes a covenant not to compete with SED International or the Registrant for a period of two years following termination of his employment with SED International and the Registrant. Mr. G. Diamond also is eligible to receive additional compensation under the Registrant's long-term incentive compensation program. The employment agreement with Jean Diamond is evergreen and renews annually until it is terminated by the Registrant or Ms. Diamond pursuant to the terms thereof. The Agreement provides for an employment term of five years renewable and (i) provides for an annual base salary of $194,674 (as of November 1, 2001), increased annually in an amount equal to the greater of five percent of her then current salary or an amount based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index, (ii) provides for an automobile allowance, and (iii) does not provide for an annual bonus. Gerald Diamond and Jean Diamond's contracts automatically renew each year. Gerald Diamond's and Jean Diamond's employment agreements provide that if a Change of Control (as such term is defined below) occurs while the employee is employed by SED International, and if the employee's employment is terminated involuntarily, or voluntarily by the employee upon the occurrence of certain events, the employee may notify SED International and request a cash payment in an amount equal to all annual salary, bonuses and other benefits owing to the employee from the date of termination through the remainder of the term of the employee's employment agreement, except that if the term remaining in the employment agreement is less than 12 months, the employee shall receive an amount equal to at least 12 months of such compensation. Under Gerald Diamond's and Jean Diamond's employment agreements a Change of Control is deemed to have occurred when (i) any individual or entity becomes the beneficial owner of securities of the Registrant or SED International representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Registrant's or SED International's then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; (ii) the Registrant's Continuing Directors (a term defined to include directors as of the date of execution of the employment agreements and their duly approved successors) fail to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; (iii) all or substantially all of the assets of the Registrant are sold without being duly approved by the Continuing Directors; or (iv) with respect to Mr. Diamond only, Mr. Diamond shall no longer be a member of the Board of the Registrant or SED International, unless (x) Mr. Diamond shall have declared in writing his desire to resign such positions or that he no longer wishes to serve as a director, (y) Mr. Diamond shall have died or become disabled during the term of the employment agreement, or (z) Mr. Diamond's employment shall have been terminated for Cause (as the term "Cause" is defined in Mr. Diamond's employment agreement). Mark Diamond's employment agreement provides an employment term of 5 years, commencing November 9, 1999. The agreement also provides for (i) an annual base salary of $226,000 (as of November 1, 2001), increased annually in an amount equal to 5% of his then current salary, (ii) an automobile allowance, and (iii) the possibility of an annual bonus. The Registrant may terminate Mr. Diamond's employment for "good cause," as defined in his employment agreement. In the event of termination without "good cause," the Registrant is obligated to pay Mr. Diamond the greater of his base salary for the remaining period of his employment agreement or 12 months of base salary, less applicable withholdings. Barry Diamond is Vice President of the Wireless division of SED International, Inc. Mr. Diamond's employment agreement provides an employment term of 3 years commencing on November 11, 1999. The employment agreement also provides for (i) an annual base salary of $156,999 (as of November 1, 2001) (ii) an automobile allowance, and (iii) the possibility of an annual bonus. The Registrant may terminate Mr. Diamond's employment for "good cause" as that term is defined in the employment agreement. In the event of termination for "good cause" the Registrant is obligated to pay Mr. Diamond his base salary up through the date of his termination, less applicable withholding. The Registrant may also terminate Mr. Diamond without good cause, and in this event the Registrant is obligated to pay Mr. Diamond his base salary and benefits for the greater of 12 months or the remaining term of the employment agreement. Ronell Rivera is Executive Vice President of Latin America for Sales and Marketing of SED International, Inc. (formerly President of the Latin-American Division of the Registrant). Mr. Rivera's employment agreement is for a term of 3 years, commencing July 1, 2000. The agreement provides for an annual base salary of $196,875 (as of November 1, 2001). The base salary is increased annually in an amount equal to 5%. In addition to his salary the employment agreement provides Mr. Rivera with (i) an automobile allowance, (ii) life insurance coverage, and (iii) the possibility of an annual bonus. The Registrant may terminate Mr. Rivera's employment for "good cause," as defined therein. In the event of termination without "good cause," the Registrant is obligated to pay Mr. Rivera the greater of his base salary for the remaining period of his employment agreement or 12 months of base salary, less applicable withholdings. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION During fiscal 2002, the members of the Compensation Committee were Messrs. Aaron, G. Diamond and Rosenthal. Mr. G. Diamond is the Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant. None of the other members is or has ever been an officer or employee of the Registrant. There were no interlocking relationships between executive officers and members of the Compensation Committee of the Registrant and executive officers and members of the compensation committees of other entities. Except as described under "Lease of Headquarters," in the "Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation" below, none of the members of the Compensation Committee engaged in transactions or had relationships requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K in fiscal 2002. Except for Gerald Diamond, who serves as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant and SED International, and Mark Diamond, who serves a President and Chief Operating Officer of the Registrant and SED International, none of the other members of the Board are or have been officers or employees of the Registrant. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION Executive Compensation Philosophy. The Registrant's executive compensation program is designed to help it identify and retain outstanding executives in the microcomputer and wireless wholesale distribution industry. The Registrant believes this focus will enable it to hire and retain the best executive talent and help it meet its long-range objectives. Key elements of this philosophy include the following: - Appeal to executives who are motivated to position the Registrant as a leader in selected markets. - Align the financial interests of the executives with those of the shareholders. - Provide compensation opportunities that are within the range of those provided by microcomputer and cellular telephone wholesale distribution companies of similar sizes. As a result of the emphasis on linking executive compensation to individual and corporate performance, the Registrant's executives may be paid more or less than executives of the Registrant's competitors. As a baseline, the Board and the Compensation Committee support the concept that stock ownership by management and stock-related compensation arrangements are beneficial in enhancing shareholder value and aligning interests among management, the Board and the shareholders. Executive Compensation Components. There are two components to the Registrant's executive compensation program: annual cash compensation (which includes base salary and annual cash bonuses) and long-term incentive compensation. Base Salary. Base salary in Fiscal 2002 for Gerald Diamond and Jean Diamond was set by an employment agreement between these persons and SED International. The base salary for the other Named Executive Officers was set by the Board. Bonuses. For any fiscal year, Gerald Diamond recommends to the Compensation Committee annual cash bonuses for the Registrant's executive officers (excluding himself). The Compensation Committee considers his recommendation and awards bonuses based on that recommendation and on the Committee's own subjective evaluation of the executive's individual leadership and performance in his or her area of responsibility and on the net earnings and return on equity of the Registrant for the fiscal year for which the bonus is to be awarded. Although the Compensation Committee gives the foregoing factors relatively equal weight in its deliberations, its ultimate determination is subjective and is not based on any particular stated individual or Registrant performance objectives. For Fiscal 2002, Mark Diamond received a cash bonus of $10,000 determined under a bonus plan covering Fiscal 2001. Mr. Barry Diamond received $1,750. Gerald Diamond's employment agreement provides for an annual cash bonus in an amount directly related to the Registrant's Pretax Adjusted Annual Income (as defined below) (see "Executive Compensation -- Executive Compensation Report -- CEO Compensation" and "Executive Compensation -- Employment Agreements"). For Fiscal 2002 the Registrant did not attain its Pretax Adjusted Annual Income and no cash bonus was awarded to Mr. Diamond. Long-Term Incentives. The long-term incentive compensation program currently consists of stock grant and option plans pursuant to which the Registrant may grant executives and other key employees of the Registrant and its subsidiaries restricted shares of Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock. Restricted shares of Common Stock granted to key employees are in the nature of a bonus without payment of any consideration by the recipient. The restricted shares become vested at the time or times specified by the committee administering the plan under which the stock grants are made, which may range from immediate vesting to ten years. Prior to vesting, however, recipients of awards have all other rights of a Shareholder, including the right to vote the shares and to receive any dividends declared and paid on the Common Stock so awarded. Generally, the exercise price of options granted under a stock option plan is equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Options are exercisable in installments ranging from 20% to 33.3% per year and expire ten years from the date of grant. The Board believes that the stock grant and option plans promote greater interest in the welfare of the Registrant by retaining executives and key employees and allowing them to share in the Registrant's success. CEO Compensation. Gerald Diamond's employment agreement with SED International is for a seven year period commencing on July 1, 1998. Thereafter, the term of the agreement is "evergreen" and it renews annually until it is terminated by the Registrant or Mr. G. Diamond pursuant to its terms. The agreement, however, is subject to automatic one-year extensions following the end of each year of employment, unless either SED International or Mr. G. Diamond gives notice within a specified period prior to the end of the year that the employment agreement will not be extended beyond its then-current term. Effective January 1, 2000, Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement was amended by modifying the change in control provisions of the employment agreement to provide that on the occurrence of a change in control, Mr. G. Diamond will have the option to demand an immediate payment equal to three times the amount to be paid to Mr. G. Diamond for the remainder of the term of the contract, with a minimum term in this event of 12 months. Previously Mr. G. Diamond's contract provided that on a change in control he would receive payments equal to the amounts to be paid under the remaining term of the contract. Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement provides for an annual base salary of $371,564 (as of November 1, 2001), increased annually in an amount based upon increases in the Consumer Price Index. Under the terms of the employment agreement, in addition to annual base salary, Mr. G. Diamond is eligible to receive annual cash bonuses equal to five percent of the Registrant's Pretax Adjusted Annual Income, which means with respect to a given fiscal year (a) the sum of earnings before taxes and minority interests of the Registrant as reported on its audited consolidated statement of operations for such fiscal year, excluding, in all cases, (i) any nonrecurring income and non recurring costs or expenses, which income, costs or expenses are extraordinary in the reasonable opinion of the Board, all as calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, (ii) any interest income or expense and (iii) additional amortization or depreciation or increase in the cost of goods sold resulting from any asset revaluations or goodwill, less (b) $6,000,000. Mr. G. Diamond was not eligible to receive an annual cash bonus under his employment agreement for Fiscal 2002 because the Registrant did not have any Pretax Adjusted Annual Income for that year. Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement also provides him with an automobile allowance, disability insurance coverage and a benefit payable to his surviving spouse, if any, upon his death. Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement includes a covenant not to compete with SED International or the Registrant for a period of two years following termination of his employment with SED International and the Registrant. The Board's philosophy in establishing the base salary and performance bonus structure reflected in Mr. G. Diamond's employment agreement was to consider the pay to chief executive officers of similarly-sized companies in the microcomputer and wireless wholesale distribution industry as a guide and to provide an incentive to Mr. G. Diamond to remain with the Registrant and to continue to grow the business of the Registrant. The Board intends to evaluate Mr. G. Diamond's compensation package during fiscal 2002 based on the factors described above and Mr. G. Diamond's duties and responsibilities with respect to management of the Registrant. Any new compensation package that the Board may propose will be subject to the re-negotiation of Mr. G. Diamond's current employment agreement. Mr. G. Diamond also is eligible to receive additional compensation under the Registrant's long-term incentive compensation program described above. Other Compensation Plans. The Registrant and SED International maintains employee benefit plans in which the executive officers are permitted to participate on the same terms as other employees including the 401(k) Plan. Effective July 1, 2002, SED International revised the 401(k) plan to provide 401(k) matching for its employees at the discretion of the Board of Directors and is no longer required to match 401(k) funds. The plan does not provide for investments in Common Stock. Exchange Plan. In February 2001, the Registrant made an offer to employees of the Registrant to exchange stock options they previously received in the Registrant's 1991 Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan Options) for awards of restricted stock under the Registrant's 1997 and 1999 Stock Option Plan. Under the exchange, an employee received one share of restricted common stock for each option to purchase five shares of common stock surrendered. Employees who exchanged 100% of their 1991 Plan Options were also allowed to exchange options under other Registrant Plans at the same exchange ratio. A similar exchange offer was made to non-employee Directors for options they received in the Registrant's Director Plans and the 1999 Stock Option Plan. Based on the five-for-one exchange ratio, 1,019,889 options were exchanged for awards of 203,978 shares of restricted common stock. The exchanged options had an exercise price from $5.25 to $10.13 and the average exercise price for the exchanged options was $8.78. The total valuation placed on the awards issued was approximately $446,000, based on the closing price of the common stock of $2.19 on February 28, 2001. The exchange increased the number of shares of the Registrant's common stock outstanding by 5.5%, but reduced potential dilutive impact on the Registrant's common stock associated with the 1,019,889 options exchanged and cancelled. Options returned to Plans will be available for re-issuance under those Plans. The exchange valuation of $446,000 resulted in non-cash deferred compensation in the amount of $413,000 for the employees' portion of the exchange, and the expense of $33,000 for the immediate vesting of the outside Directors' restricted stock. Subsequent to the exchange settlement, stock awards issued to certain officers of the Registrant and its subsidiary, SED International, Inc., were accelerated and immediately vested. The accelerated vesting resulted in the recognition of non-cash awards compensation expense of $462,000. Limitations on the Deductibility of Compensation. Pursuant to the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, a portion of annual compensation payable after 1993 to any of the Registrant's Named Executive Officers would not be deductible by the Registrant for federal income tax purposes to the extent such officer's overall compensation exceeds $1 million. Qualifying performance-based incentive compensation, however, would be both deductible and excluded for purposes of calculating the $1 million base. It has been determined that no portion of anticipated compensation payable to any executive officer in Fiscal 2002 would be non-deductible. The Compensation Committee will continue to address this issue when formulating compensation arrangements for executive officers.
