OF
TENNENBAUM CAPITAL PARTNERS, LLC
This proxy supplement (this Proxy Supplement) supplements the definitive proxy
statement of Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (TCP or we), dated February 27,
2009 (the Proxy Statement), prepared in connection with the 2009 annual meeting of
stockholders of Online Resources Corporation (the Company), which is to be held at

Since the date of the Proxy Statement, the Companys Proxy Statement, dated March 20, 2009, was
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed to stockholders of the Company. For
your reference, this Proxy Supplement reproduces certain sections of the Companys Proxy Statement
that contain the Additional Company Information. The information in Annex B has been reproduced
directly from the Companys Proxy Statement without revision of any sort. As a result, references

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding future individual and
company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context
of Online Resources Corporations compensation programs and should not be understood to be
statements of managements expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically
caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.
Executive Summary
The Management Development and Compensation (MD&C) Committee of our Board of Directors is
responsible for establishing and maintaining all of our executive officer and senior management
compensation programs. These programs are designed to attract and retain qualified executives and
managers, and reward them for delivering value to our shareholders.
Our compensation programs levels and design are based on pay-for-performance. We target base
salary compensation at the 40th percentile of market, and provide variable compensation
opportunities to earn total compensation between the 60th and 70th percentiles when we meet our
financial and operating targets and outperform our peers. Our variable compensation programs
provide for 1) cash and/or restricted stock equity compensation tied to performance measures,
2) time-vested equity compensation issued as options that have value only if our stock price
increases following their date of grant, and 3) time-vested equity compensation issued as
restricted stock for which the value increases and decreases with the price of our common stock.
In July 2007, the MD&C Committee asked Watson Wyatt to provide a pay-for-performance analysis
of our executive compensation programs compared to our peer group. This analysis provided the
potential and actual awards paid under the executive annual and long-term incentive plans which was
then compared to company performance. The analysis concluded that the compensation paid to the
executive officers and performance was misaligned because the amount of compensation lagged
operating performance. In February 2009, the MD&C Committee again asked Watson Wyatt to provide a
pay-for-performance analysis, which concluded that executive compensation was still below peer
group compensation for comparable performance.
In 2008, the base salaries of the Chief Executive Officer, other executive officers and senior
management were paid in cash with the exception of a portion of their fourth quarter salaries. All
annual and long-term incentive compensation was paid in equity. Through the grant of equity
incentives, we seek to align the interests of our management team with the interests of
our shareholders, by creating a direct link between compensation and shareholder return. We
also believe that enabling our management team to achieve ownership in our Company at levels that
are meaningful to them improves our ability to retain these employees. Further, as we offer no
defined benefit retirement or pension plans, equity-based incentive grants are an important element
in enabling our management team to build savings for retirement.
Between 69% and 85% of our executive officers 2008 target total direct compensation was
granted in equity. Given the high reliance on pay for performance in our compensation structure,
the MD&C Committee believes it is important to look at realized compensation versus target
compensation. For example, in 2008 the Chief Executive Officer earned bonus compensation that was
65% of his 2008 target annual compensation because of financial performance shortfalls relative to
Annual Compensation Plan targets. As all 2008 bonus compensation was paid in equity, and as the
market price of our stock declined significantly between the grant and vesting dates, the market
value of his earned bonus compensation was only 16% of its grant value. In total, the cash and
market value of the Chief Executive Officers 2008 annual compensation was approximately 58% of his
target. Including the market value of long-term incentive compensation granted during 2008, and
assuming full vesting of performance-vested shares, the cash and market value the Chief Executive
Officers 2008 total direct compensation was approximately 37% of his target.
At the beginning of 2008, the MD&C Committee increased the target compensation of the Chief
Executive Officer. This action was based on data compiled and presented by Watson Wyatt Worldwide
showing that, contrary to our stated compensation philosophy, he was in the bottom quartile for
total compensation despite company operating results which outperformed the peer group.
During 2008, economic factors negatively affected our financial performance relative to our
plan. These factors included a sharp drop in interest rates, which reduced associated revenue and
operating earnings by more than $5 million compared to 2007. While we still increased revenue,
maintained earnings and generated cash flow during 2008, we did not meet our growth targets. The
MD&C Committee, along with management, took a number of mid-cycle actions to respond to changing
conditions and align the interests of our executive officers and senior managers with those of
shareholders. These actions included:
|
|
|
Our executive officers and senior managers exchanged between 8% and 21% of their
annual cash base salaries for equity during 2008 to further ensure our financial health
and align their interests with those of shareholders. |
|
|
|
|
Based on grant value, our executive officers earned 65% of their 2008 annual
incentive compensation targets, reflecting the impact of steep interest rate declines
as well as the impact of other economic and business factors on our revenue and
earnings. |
|
|
|
|
As 2008 annual incentive compensation was paid entirely in equity, the carrying
value of the earned compensation at vesting was down 75% from its value at grant,
reflecting the same stock price declines experienced by our shareholders. |
|
|
|
|
The portion of both 2007 and 2008 long-term equity incentive grants that are linked
to performance factors saw reduced probabilities of vesting at the end of
their three-year performance periods based on 2008 interest rate declines and other
economic factors impacting performance. Also, the carrying value of any
performance-based equity that ultimately vests, along with the value of other
time-vested equity, declined significantly from the values at which it was granted. |
The MD&C Committee and management believe that the value of actual 2008 compensation received
by our executives and managers reflected both our performance against targets and relative to our
peers, and the market environment in which we are operating
For 2009, we have adjusted our compensation programs to reflect increased uncertainty with
regard to the market environment and business factors that influence our financial and operating
performance, and by extension, the value of shareholder equity.
|
|
|
We have implemented 5% across-the-board reductions to annual cash base salaries,
reflecting generally lower market compensation levels. |
|
|
|
|
The annual bonus plan will be paid entirely in restricted
stock. The number of shares granted was calculated using a $4.00 share price, a 16% premium to the market
price on the date of grant. The amount of shares that will actually vest is dependent
upon performance. |
|
|
|
|
The dollar value targets of our long-term incentive equity grants have been reduced
by an average of 25%. The number of shares granted was calculated using a $4.00 share
price, a 16% premium to the market price on the date of grant. Equity granted as
options, however, still have exercise prices equal to the market price. |
|
|
|
|
Other employee benefits programs have been curtailed. |
|
|
|
|
Without considering the impact of issuing annual and long-term incentive equity
grants at a premium to market price, we have reduced the total annual compensation
opportunity for our executive officers by 14% to 23%. |
The MD&C Committee, in conjunction with executive management, will continue to review its
compensation and benefits programs throughout 2009 and make other adjustments if and as it believes
necessary or prudent.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
|
|
|
A Meaningful Portion of Compensation Should be Performance-Based. We believe that
variable compensation tied to company performance should represent a meaningful portion
of total compensation for our executive officers and senior managers, and that the
percentage of compensation tied to company performance should be highest for our
executive officers. |
|
|
|
56% of our Chief Executive Officers targeted 2008 compensation was
at-risk, with 31% tied to the achievement of performance factors and an
additional 25% in options that have value only if our stock price increases
following their date of grant. |
|
|
|
50% of our Presidents targeted 2008 compensation was at-risk, with 34%
tied to the achievement of performance factors and an additional 16% in options
that have value only if our stock price increases following their date of
grant. |
|
|
|
|
46% of our Chief Financial Officers targeted 2008 compensation was
at-risk, with 30% tied to the achievement of performance factors and an
additional 16% in options that have value only if our stock price increases
following their date of grant. |
|
|
|
Our Compensation Programs Should Emphasize Stock Ownership. We believe that stock
ownership is a valuable tool to align the interests of managers and employees with
those of shareholders. Our Board of Directors has established specific stock ownership
guidelines for themselves as well as for executive officers and certain senior
managers. Much of this ownership can be accomplished through grants made as a part of
the annual compensation of our Board members and under our long-term equity incentive
plan, but open market purchases are encouraged to fill out or exceed the guidelines. We
also provide the means for broader stock ownership by employees at all levels through
our Employee Stock Purchase Plan. |
|
|
|
85% of our Chief Executive Officers targeted 2008 compensation was granted
in equity. |
|
|
|
|
72% of our Presidents targeted 2008 compensation was granted in equity. |
|
|
|
|
69% of our Chief Financial Officers targeted 2008 compensation was granted
in equity. |
|
|
|
Our Compensation Programs Must Be Competitive. We need to hire, retain and motivate
executive officers and senior managers with the requisite skills and experience to
develop, expand and execute on our business opportunities, as this is essential to our
success in providing value to shareholders. As such, we benchmark our compensation
against companies in our industry sector or with similar operating characteristics. We
target base salary compensation at the 40th percentile of market, with the opportunity
to earn total compensation between the 60th and 70th percentiles when we meet our own
targets and outperform our competition. |
|
|
|
|
We Consider Total Compensation in Designing Our Programs. As a growth company, we
seek executive officers and senior managers who are motivated by the desire to
participate in building an expanding, profitable and high quality organization. Since
this type of employee values participation in our growth as much or more than base
salary, the Committee looks at the aggregate of our base salary, annual incentive and
long-term equity incentive compensation plans when assessing the adequacy,
appropriateness and competitiveness of our compensation structure. |
|
|
|
|
Our Compensation Programs Should Reward both Company and Individual Performance. In
determining annual incentive and long-term equity incentive
awards, we look primarily to company performance and the performance of our peers.
However, merit increases to base salaries are weighted towards individual
performance and we have spot bonus and other recognition programs to reward
individual achievement. |
Compensation Program Design
The MD&C committee reviews the design of our total compensation program on a regular basis,
incorporating recommendations and best practices communicated by its independent compensation
consultants. For 2008, the MD&C Committee made two material modifications to plan design. The first
was changing the allocation of long-term incentive grants among time-vested options, time-vested
restricted stock and performance-vested restricted stock. The second was allowing our executive
officers and senior managers to exchange a portion of base salary for equity during the year.
Our compensation program for executive officers and senior management currently consists of:
|
|
|
base salary, |
|
|
|
|
annual cash or equity-based incentive compensation, and |
|
|
|
|
long-term equity-based incentive compensation. |
Our executive officers and senior management also participate in the broad-based benefits
plans that are available to other employees and we avoid additional material perquisites.
We do not generally have employment agreements that provide for continued employment for any
period of time or guarantee severance benefits upon termination without cause or for good reason.
We do have a change in control severance plan for the benefit of the executive officers and certain
members of senior management in the event of both i) a change in control of our Company and
ii) termination of that person under specified circumstances within one year after the change in
control. Additionally, we have entered into a limited number of severance agreements as a part of
our acquisitions of other companies.
The MD&C Committee regularly requests benchmark compensation studies with regard to executive
officer and senior management positions, to ensure that its decisions are based on current market
information. It has engaged independent compensation consultants Watson Wyatt Worldwide to prepare
these studies, with the two most recent studies being completed in July 2007 and February 2009.
These studies provide relevant market data, trends and alternatives to consider when making
compensation decisions, and the MD&C Committee uses the study information to construct management
compensation plans that are intended to be both competitive and within established target ranges
relative to market-median levels. Watson Wyatt and any other independent compensation consultants
engaged by the Committee are not engaged by management in any other capacity so as to preserve
their independence.
In making compensation decisions, the MD&C Committee compares total compensation and its
components against a peer group of publicly traded companies recommended by Watson Wyatt. This peer
group, which is reviewed and updated annually, consists of companies in the
specific market sectors in which we compete and general industry companies with consolidated
and/or segment revenues comparable to ours. Each of the peer group companies has revenues of less
than $1.0 billion and market capitalizations and employment levels that are reasonably similar to
ours. The MD&C Committee believes the peer group is a reasonable representation of the market for
managements services.
The companies included in the peer group for the February 2009 study used to review our prior
compensation decisions for 2008 and construct our compensation decisions for 2009 are:

Our peer group contains nine companies from our previously published peer group and five new
companies. Companies were removed from our peer group either because they had been acquired and
were no longer public or because they were no longer considered to be comparable from a revenue
size or market capitalization viewpoint.
As a result of the limited number of companies in our peer group, the MD&C Committee also
utilized commercially available survey data related to general industry executive compensation to
identify market-median and other market elements related to our 2008 and 2009 compensation
programs.
Compensation Elements
Base Salary. Base salaries for our executive officers and senior managers are reviewed and
reset annually. Given our total compensation approach and the value our executive and senior
management places on participating in current and future growth, base salaries tend to be
underweighted in our compensation structure. The Committee seeks to benchmark base salaries at
approximately the 40th percentile of the high growth companies within the established peer group.
In addition to the market data from the peer group and other sources, the Committee considers
other factors in arriving at or adjusting each executive officers base salary, including:
|
|
|
each executive officers scope of responsibilities, |
|
|
|
|
each executive officers qualifications, skills and experience, |
|
|
|
|
internal pay equity among senior executives, and |
|
|
|
|
individual job performance, including both impact on current financial results and
contributions to building longer-term shareholder value. |
Within this framework, annual increases are primarily driven by individual performance.
In 2008, our executive officers and senior managers, exchanged cash base salary for equity in
the form of restricted stock units that vested before year end. Our executive officers exchanged
between 17% and 21% of their annual cash base salary for equity, and other senior managers
exchanged between 8% and 11%. This action was taken to ensure our continuing financial health and
to further align the interests of our managers with those of our shareholders.
Beginning in February 2009, we instituted a 5% pay cut from stated base salaries for our
executives, managers and other staff. This was done to ensure our continuing financial health and
to reset our general compensation framework to current market levels. We also have no salary
increases scheduled for 2009, and will reconsider only if we are delivering earnings performance
that exceeds our plan.
Annual Incentive Compensation. We provide annual incentive compensation for our executive
officers, senior and mid-level managers under our Annual Incentive Plan. These individuals have the
most direct influence over our financial and operating performance, and thus their annual incentive
compensation is based on our Companys and their respective divisions performance against
established performance goals.
The Annual Incentive Plan is designed to drive current period, division and company-wide
performance consistent with our stated long-term growth, profitability and service quality
objectives. The Committee seeks to establish performance objectives at a level that rewards
competitively superior performance with competitively superior compensation. Our annual incentive
compensation is paid in cash, equity or a combination of the two, with the mix of payment type
established at the beginning of each year.
Before the start of each year, the Committee determines the principal elements of the Annual
Incentive Plan for the coming year:
|
|
|
performance goals for both corporate and the divisions, |
|
|
|
|
bonus allocations to be tied to each of the performance goals., and |
|
|
|
target bonus levels, expressed as either a percentage of salary or a fixed amount
for each identified level or title grouping of management. |
Actual bonus payments are increased above the target bonus levels for results that exceed the
performance goals and are decreased below the target bonus levels, and may be reduced to zero, for
results that do not fully meet the goals, with the amount of the increase or decrease based on a
sliding scale determined by the MD&C Committee.
The MD&C Committee believes that in the context of its total compensation approach, the design
of, and payouts under, the 2008 Annual Incentive Plan were fair to both participants and
shareholders, and that the plan structure continues to be appropriate. It also believes that the
2009 Annual Incentive Plan design and established goals are appropriate and will deliver fair value
to both participants and shareholders.
No participant in our Annual Incentive Plan has exceeded $1 million in annual taxable
compensation. As such, we have not had the material terms of the performance goals under our Annual
Incentive Plan approved by shareholders as would be required to qualify for an exemption from
limits on deductibility of compensation under Internal Revenue Code section 162(m) and related
regulations. We will continue to monitor compensation levels and will consider submitting the
material terms of our performance goals to shareholders if the compensation of any of our executive
officers or senior managers materially exceeds this threshold.
Performance Goals and Bonus Allocations. The MD&C Committee determines both the types
of, and the targets for, the annual performance goals. Typical performance goals include annual or
other periodic revenue growth or amount, operating profitability growth or amount, core net income
growth or amount, free cash flow amount and service quality or other operating performance metrics.
Financially-oriented performance goals are generally tied to our Board-approved budget and
operating plan. Some or all of these performance goals may be established on an adjusted basis,
either for ease of measurement or to exclude factors beyond managements control.
For 2008, the MD&C Committee selected the following as the performance goals for the 2008
Annual Incentive Plan:
|
|
|
revenue, |
|
|
|
|
core earnings per share, and |
|
|
|
|
division specific service quality thresholds. |
Corporate and division targets were established for each of these goals and the percentage of
bonus payout tied to each of the goals was as follows:

The MD&C Committee determined that bonus payouts for corporate participants, including the
executive officers, would be based entirely on achievement of the established corporate performance
targets, while division participants would have 50% of their bonus payouts based on division
performance targets and 50% based on corporate performance targets. This structure was established
to support and reward the operating objective of achieving cross-divisional product sales and
client support.
Looking forward, the MD&C Committee has again selected revenue, core earnings per share and
division specific quality measures as performance goals for the 2009 Annual Incentive Plan.
Corporate and division performance targets have been established for each goal based on our 2009
budget and operating plan. The MD&C Committee determined that it would change the percentage of
bonus payout tied to each of the goals in order to emphasize our priority on earnings growth. For
2009, the percentage of bonus payout tied to each of the goals is as follows:
|
|

As was the case in 2008, bonus payouts to corporate participants, including the executive
officers, will be based entirely on achievement of the established corporate performance targets.
Division participants will have 50% of their bonus payouts based on division performance targets
and 50% based on corporate performance targets. Payouts pursuant to the 2009 Annual Incentive Plan
will be made in restricted stock units that will vest on or about March 1, 2010.
Target Bonus Levels. The MD&C Committee establishes bonus targets for executive
officers and certain members of senior management which are percentages of their actual base
salaries. Fixed dollar bonus targets were established for other position or title groups within our
management team.
Bonus targets are established by the MD&C Committee within its total compensation approach.
Factors considered included peer group comparable compensation, internal compensation equity
between participants of the same level or title, cash and equity compensation mix at the various
levels of management and affordability.
For 2008, bonus targets for our executive officers and senior managers were:
|
|
|
100% of base salary for our Chief Executive Officer, |
|
|
|
|
75% of base salary for our President and Chief Operating Officer, |
|
|
|
|
60% of base salary for our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and |
|
|
|
|
between 25% and 50% of base salary for our senior managers. |
Under the 2008 plan, management earned bonuses of between 65% and 85% of their targets, with
our executive officers earning 65%, which was the weighted average of 70%
performance against revenue goals and 60% performance against earnings goals. All of these
bonus amounts were paid in restricted stock units that vested on March 1, 2009.
The average 2008 payout under our 2008 Annual Incentive Plan was less than in pre-2007
periods, due largely to a shortfall in actual revenue and earnings compared to plan. The shortfall
in actual revenue and earnings was largely due to a sharp and unprecedented decline in interest
rates during the period, which reduced the interest revenue that we earn on our float balances. As
interest rate declines were beyond the control of management and also disproportionately impacted a
portion of the participants, the MD&C Committee adjusted revenue and core earnings targets by
approximately half of the net interest rate decline impact during the year in order to make bonus
payouts more equitable.
For 2009, the MD&C Committee followed a consistent process and considered similar factors in
establishing bonus targets. It concluded that those targets should remain unchanged from the 2008
plan.
All 2009 bonus amounts up to the established targets will be paid in restricted stock units
that were granted at $4.00 per share, a 16% premium over the market price of our stock on the date
of grant. These restricted stock units will vest in amounts based on our performance against
established performance goals on or about March 1, 2010. The MD&C Committee has determined that
given current market conditions, it would be inappropriate to allow bonus payments made in equity
to increase above target levels. If our 2009 performance against established goals warrants bonus
payments in excess of targets, those amounts will be paid in cash.
Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Compensation. We make long-term incentive compensation
available to our executive officers, senior and mid-level managers, generally in the form of
time-vested stock options and restricted stock units and performance-vested restricted stock units.
Through the grant of these equity incentives, we seek to align the long-term interests of our
management team, including our executive officers, with the long-term interests of our
shareholders, by creating a direct link between compensation and shareholder return. We also seek
to enable members of our management team to achieve ownership in our Company at levels that are
meaningful to them, thereby improving our ability to retain these employees. Further, as we offer
no defined benefit retirement or pension plans, long-term equity-based incentive grants are an
important element in enabling members of our management team to build savings for retirement.
Each years Long-Term Incentive Plan is designed to link compensation to our performance over
the three year period beginning with the grant year. The MD&C Committee selected a three year
period because they believed it was the longest period over which management could be expected to
provide a reasonably accurate forecast. They also determined that it was possible to obtain
similarly reasonable predictions of competitors future performance for this period, but not for
longer.
Award targets for each three-year plan cycle are established by the MD&C Committee within its
total compensation approach, including seeking alignment between performance and
pay. Factors considered include estimated peer group performance, peer group comparable
compensation, cash and equity compensation mix at the various levels of management and
affordability.
Award targets are expressed as either a percentage of actual base salary or a fixed dollar
amounts and are converted to share-equivalent grants generally based on the fair market value of
our stock on the date of grant, as measured by the closing price per share on that date. The number
of stock option shares granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model to
determine the theoretical fair market value of the stock option on the date of grant. The stock
options are exercisable at the fair market value on the date of grant. The number of restricted
shares granted is generally determined using the fair market value on the date of grant. The
restricted shares carry no exercise price.
Time-vested stock option and restricted stock grants vest annually over the three year period
provided the participant continues to remain employed by us. Performance-vested restricted stock
vests at the end of the three year period, with the number of shares that vest based on our
performance against two performance targets established by the Committee for that three year
period. As performance-vested restricted stock is intended to focus participants on our long-term
performance and not reward tenure, participants having this grant type who leave us during the
three year period may be entitled to partial vesting of their shares at the end of the three year
period. They will be vested for either 33.3% or 66.7% of the shares that would have vested at the
end of the three year period, if they were employed by us for at least one or two years of the
period, respectively. All stock option grants have a seven year life.
Performance-vested restricted stock is tied to performance targets selected by the MD&C
Committee for the three year period covered by the plan years performance-vested restricted stock
grants. These performance goals will tend to be growth and profitability oriented and are intended
to reflect the measures on which the capital markets value us. We believe that measures such as
these best align the long-term interests of management and the shareholders.
The Committee also creates a vesting band around this target. Vesting of performance-vested
restricted stock generally can be increased to as much as 150% of target levels for results that
exceed the performance targets. Vesting can also be decreased below target levels, and may be
reduced to zero, for results that do not fully meet the targets.
For 2008, the Long-Term Incentive Plan targets for our executive officers and senior managers
were:
|
|
|
343% of target base salary for our Chief Executive Officer, |
|
|
|
|
118% of target base salary for our President and Chief Operating Officer, |
|
|
|
|
106% of target base salary for our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, and |
|
|
|
|
between 30% and 75% of target base salary for our senior managers. |
All participants in the 2008 Long-Term Incentive Plan received grants consisting of
time-vested stock options and restricted stock. For the executive officers and senior managers,
performance-vested restricted stock was also granted, with such grants being allocated as
follows for 2008:

|

Time-Vested Restricted Stock |
|
|
40 |
% |
Performance-Vested Restricted Stock |
|
|
20 |

The mix of time-vested stock options and restricted stock and performance-vested restricted
stock for 2008 was altered from the prior year, when time-vested options and restricted stock made
up 30% each of total grants and performance-vested restricted stock made up 40%. The MD&C Committee
made this change based on recommendations received from its independent compensation consultant,
who indicated that our acquisition strategy makes it difficult to forecast future performance, and
thus set reasonable performance goals.
For 2008, the MD&C Committee selected average revenue growth and average earnings before
interest and taxes per share as performance goals for the 2008 Long-Tem Incentive Plan, to be
measured over the 2008 through 2010 period, and determined that these goals should have equal
weight for the 2008 Plan. It established targets for each of these goals based on our three year
forecast, as adjusted for a degree of uncertainty in future forecasting, and considering growth and
profitability expectations for comparable companies over the same period. It also determined that
these targets should be weighted at 50% each for determining payouts.
The MC&C Committee established vesting bands around its 2008 performance growth and earnings
targets. These bands allowed vesting to be increased to as much as 150% of target levels for
results that exceeded performance targets, and reduced to as low as 25% for results that fell below
performance targets, before going to zero. As depicted in the following matrix for 2008, the
intersection of our actual performance against the target for each performance goal will determine
the number of performance-based restricted shares that vest at the end of the three year period.

For example, if we were to achieve the target value of one performance goal and the high value
of the other, 125% of participants performance-based restricted shares would vest. Note that the
above matrix has been simplified for presentation purposes and actual vesting is interpolated
between 25% and 150%.
At all points in the matrix defined by these vesting bands, the Committee concluded that
shareholders would receive fair incremental value after expensing of the related equity
compensation.
Our Long-Term Incentive Plan requires that when we complete an acquisition, disposition or
other material transaction during one or more already established three year periods, we adjust our
performance targets to reflect the impact that transaction is expected to have on existing
performance targets. There were no such acquisitions made during 2008.
For 2009, The MD&C Committee determined that participant award targets should be reduced in
recognition of the current market environment. Across the management group, award targets were
decreased by an average of 25% from 2008 levels. This was accomplished by applying tiered
percentage reductions ranging from 20% for our mid-level managers to 30% for our Chief Executive
Officer. Given these reductions and the previously mentioned 5% reduction to base salaries, 2009
Long-Term Incentive Plan targets for our executive officers and senior managers are now:
|
|
|
235% of adjusted base salary for our Chief Executive Officer, |
|
|
|
|
87% of adjusted base salary for our President and Chief Operating Officer, |
|
|
|
|
78% of adjusted base salary for our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer, and |
|
|
|
|
between 25% and 59% of adjusted base salary for our senior managers. |
The MD&C Committee also determined that the 2009 allocation of grants to our executive
officers and senior managers should be changed from those used in the 2008 plan. In consideration
of the reduced award targets being granted to our executive officers and senior managers and of the
difficulty in accurately forecasting three-year performance under the current uncertain economic
conditions, the MD&C Committee determined that it would be appropriate to eliminate
performance-vested restricted stock for the 2009 plan. Grants that otherwise would have been
performance-vested have been reallocated such that executive officers and senior managers received
50% of their grants in time-vested options and 50% in time-vested restricted stock. The MD&C
Committee continues to believe in tying a portion of plan grants to long-term performance and so
will revisit this decision for the 2010 plan year.
In determining the number of shares granted under the 2009 plan, we have used a share price of
$4.00, a 16% premium to our share price on the date of grant, as the basis for our calculations.
Stock options are still exercisable at the fair market value on the date of grant. The percentage
target awards referenced above do not take into account this share price premium.
Benefits and Perquisites. We generally avoid perquisites. Our executive officers and senior
managers receive the same benefits as are available to our other full-time employees.
Severance Compensation. We do not have agreements with our executive officers and most of our
senior managers that would provide severance benefits upon termination without cause or for good
reason except for the change in control severance plan described below. We
have, however, entered into severance agreements with a limited number of senior managers as a
part of our acquisitions of other companies.
Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control. We have a change in control
severance plan for the benefit of the executive officers and certain members of senior management
in the event of (i) a change in control of our Company and (ii) termination of any such person
under specified circumstances within one year after the change in control.
The change in control severance plan has a double trigger feature, meaning that two events
must occur in order for benefits to be paid to a participant. The first event must be a change in
control of our Company, which is defined to be (i) any change in control required to be reported in
response to Item 1(a) on Form 10-K, pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the Act); (ii) a third person, including a group as such term is used in Section
13(d)(3) of the Act, becoming the owner of 50% or more of the combined voting power of our
outstanding common stock, unless such acquisition is approved by a majority of our Board prior to
such acquisition; or (iii) the directors on our Board cease for any reason to constitute at least a
majority of the Board.
The second event, which must occur within one year after the change of control event, is
either (i) the termination of the participant by us for reasons other than cause or disability or
(ii) the resignation of the participant from employment for good reason. Good reason is defined
to be any changes in the duties and responsibilities of the participant which are materially
inconsistent with the duties and responsibilities of the participant within our Company immediately
prior to the change in control, (ii) any material reduction of the participants compensation or
aggregate benefits, (iii) any required relocation of the participants office beyond a 50 mile
radius from the location of the participants office immediately prior to the change in control, or
(iv) any failure by us to obtain the assumption of the change in control severance plan by a
successor of our Company.
In the event the double trigger occurs to a participant in the plan, the participant shall
be entitled to two categories of benefits. First, a lump sum severance payment equal to the
participants average annual salary and cash bonus during the three years preceding the change in
control, multiplied by (i) 2.99 for each Group A participant (defined to be one of our executive
officers), (ii) 2.0 in the case of each Group B participant (defined to be one of the general
managers of our operating divisions), and (iii) 1.0 in the case of each Group C participant
(defined to be our CTO or Senior Vice President for Strategic Development). Second, the health
benefit plan coverage (medical, dental and vision insurance) in effect for such participant and the
participants family as of the date of his or her termination shall be provided by us to the
participant for one year from the date of the participants termination at the same premium rates
as charged for employees of ours, as if the participant had continued in employment during such
period. In addition, all outstanding options and other equity awards, if any, granted to a
participant in the severance plan shall become fully vested and exercisable upon a change in
control, and the restricted period with respect to any restricted stock or any other equity award
granted to a participant shall lapse immediately upon such change in control.
The benefits payable under the plan are subject to increase pursuant to Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), which defines excess parachute
payments which are subject to certain excise taxes assessed pursuant to Section 4999 of the
Code. The purpose of the increase is to ensure that such excise taxes do not diminish the benefit
received by a participant under the plan. In addition, the benefits under the plan may be modified
as necessary to ensure compliance with Section 409A of the Code governing deferred compensation
arrangements.
Assuming the termination of the participants had occurred on December 31, 2008, and that no
modifications of the benefits were required pursuant Sections 280G, 4999 or 409A of the Code, the
following represents the benefits that would have been paid under the plan to each participant:

Chief Executive Officer Compensation and Performance
The compensation for Matthew P. Lawlor, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, consists of
an annual base salary, annual incentive compensation and long-term equity-based incentive
compensation. The MD&C Committee determines and recommends to the Board for their approval the
level for each of these compensation elements within its total compensation approach, using methods
consistent with those used for our other senior executives, including the assessment of Mr.
Lawlors performance and review of competitive benchmark data.
Mr. Lawlors performance has been evaluated in July of each year, in accordance with a
company-wide review cycle. In July 2007, his performance was reviewed and his compensation was set
for the August 2007 to July 2008 period. In July 2008, his performance was reviewed and his current
compensation, save for subsequent changes made in response to economic factors, was set. Going
forward, the performance review cycle for Mr. Lawlor, along with the other executive officers and
members of the senior management team, is being changed to coincide with the determination of
year-end results. This will increase the ability of the MD&C Committee to tie its assessment of his
performance to current relevant results.
In July 2007, the MD&C Committee recommended, and the independent members of the Board
approved, increasing Mr. Lawlors base salary to $350,000, maintaining his target bonus level at
100% of base salary and increasing his target equity grant level to 343% of base salary. This
action was based on an evaluation of Mr. Lawlors performance for the prior year and an analysis of
competitive benchmarks. The competitive benchmark analysis considered data
compiled and presented by Watson Wyatt Worldwide in showing that his target total compensation
was the lowest in the independently selected peer group, while a composite rating based on both
operational performance and shareholder returns for the peer group ranked us in the 69th
percentile.
In July 2008, the independent members of the Board of Directors evaluated Mr. Lawlors
performance against a set of annual performance goals recommended by the MD&C Committee and
approved by the same independent members. The goals fall into four categories:
|
|
|
financial goals, focused on revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, and core net income as set forth in our approved plan, |
|
|
|
|
operating goals, including metrics such as consumer adoption rate and transaction
growth, |
|
|
|
|
strategic goals, including initiatives relating to organization development, capital
structure, acquisitions and other strategic matters, and |

leadership and other qualitative factors that the independent members of the Board
may deem appropriate in evaluating chief executive performance. |
In 2008, each of these categories was weighted 30%, 30%, 30% and 10%, respectively, for a
possible score of 100%. This score is used by the MD&C Committee and independent members of the
Board in evaluating Mr. Lawlors performance and setting the individual compensation elements
comprising his total compensation opportunity.
Financial goals were measured using company and peer group financial information for the 2005
through 2007 period, as well as a mid-year evaluation of company financial performance against its
plan and the performance projected for the balance of 2008. Operating goals were measured against
plan targets and approved corporate goals for 2007 and performance through mid-year 2008 and
projected performance for the balance of 2008. Strategic and qualitative goals were assessed based
on accomplishments over the prior 12 month period and projected for the next six months.
In making its most recent evaluation, the MD&C Committee considered that for the 2005-2007
time period we showed positive performance relative to our peer group on financial metrics having:
|
|
|
outperformed the peer group for one and three year compound annual revenue growth,
delivering 47% and 47%, respectively, versus 10% and 12% for the peer group, |
|
|
|
|
outperformed the peer group one and three year compound annual earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization growth, delivering 59% and 63%,
respectively, versus 16% and (1)% for the peer group, and |
|
|
|
|
outperformed the peer group for one and three year compound annual core net income
growth, delivering 56% and 8%, respectively, versus 15% and (15)% for the peer group. |
The MD&C Committee viewed the strong financial results for the 2005-2007 in light of several
factors influencing our performance. It considered that revenue growth was positively impacted by a
large, transforming acquisition, which increased our growth above already strong organic growth
rates. It also considered that earnings measures were negatively impacted by short-term margin
decreases associated with the acquisition and a cluster of large client departures. Most of these
departures were related to our acquisitions or acquisition of the clients which, given our high
fixed cost structure, disproportionately reduced earnings measures for a temporary period until
equivalent revenue could be generated or cost structures realigned. The MD&C Committee noted that
operating goals for the evaluation period were generally strong.
In reviewing mid-year actual and forecast balance of the year 2008 financial and operating
performance, the MD&C Committee noted that both revenue and earnings performance were below the
plan established for 2008. However, it considered that a substantial portion of this shortfall was
due to a decline in interest rates and the impact that had on our revenue and earnings.
In addressing strategic and qualitative goals, the MD&C Committee recognized Mr. Lawlor for
his continuing leadership, both in the Company and its industry. It noted that he had overseen the
successful integration of the Internet Transaction Solutions acquisition, delivered several key new
products and infrastructure upgrades during the period and continued to address organizational
scale. They noted, however, that he and the Chief Financial Officer had not remediated the material
weaknesses in the Companys financial controls.
Based on its July 2008 evaluation of the Companys absolute and comparative performance, the
MD&C Committee determined that it would leave Mr. Lawlors compensation structure and targets
unchanged for the upcoming year even though his compensation remained below competitive benchmarks.
For full year 2008, Mr. Lawlor received 79% of his annual cash base salary after exchanging 21% of
that salary for equity to further ensure our financial health and align his interests with those of
shareholders. Under our Annual Incentive Plan, he earned 65% of his target bonus, reflecting our
performance against our revenue and earnings goals for the period. However, as all bonus payouts
were made in equity granted on January 2, 2008, and as the market price of our stock fell
approximately 75% between the issuance of that equity and its vesting, Mr. Lawlors earned shares
had a market value of only about 16% of their original issue value as of the date of vesting. In
total, the cash and market value the Chief Executive Officers 2008 annual compensation was
approximately 58% of his target. Including the market value of long-term incentive compensation
granted during 2008, and assuming full vesting of performance-based shares, the cash and market
value the Chief Executive Officers 2008 total direct compensation was approximately 37% of his
target.
Subsequent to Mr. Lawlors last annual evaluation, management and the MD&C Committee noted
further deterioration in interest rates and other market factors. As a part of managing within this
environment and further aligning his interest with those of shareholders, the MD&C Committee
approved the following additional actions with respect to Mr. Lawlors compensation:
|
|
|
a 5% reduction in his base salary effective February 1, 2009, |
|
|
|
the issuance of his equity under our Annual compensation Plan at a 16% premium to
the market price on the date of grant rather than at the market price, and |
|
|
|
|
a 30% reduction to his long-term incentive plan target, with those shares also being
issued at a 16% premium to the market price of our stock on the date of grant. |

On December 10, 2008, the Company modified certain performance factors of its 2008 Bonus Plan,
under which Mr. Lawlor, Mr. Crosier and Ms. Graham had received equity awards. At that time, the
MD&C Committee approved the modifications to the plan. These modifications were made to adjust for
the significant interest rate decline that occurred during the year. As interest rate declines were
beyond the control of management and also disproportionately impacted a portion of the
participants, the MD&C Committee adjusted revenue and core earnings targets by approximately half
of the net interest rate decline impact during the year in order to make bonus payouts more
equitable.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

Pension Benefits
The table disclosing the actuarial present value of our named executive officers accumulated
benefit under defined benefits plans, the number of years of credited service under each such plan
and the amount of pension benefits paid to each named executive officer during the year is omitted
because we do not have a defined benefit plan for named executive officers. The only retirement
plans available to named executive officers in 2008 were our qualified 401(k) savings and
retirement plan, which is available to all employees.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation
The table disclosing contributions to non-qualified defined contributions and other deferred
compensation plans, and each named executive officers withdrawals, earnings and fiscal year end
balances in those plans is omitted because we had no non-qualified deferred compensation plans or
benefits for named executive officers or other employees in 2008.
Change-in-Control Arrangements
Under our 2005 Restricted Stock and Option Plan, the grants to all employees who were employed
for at least two years prior to a change of control vest upon a change of control. For all other
employees, their grants under this plan shall vest upon the one year anniversary of the change of
control or as to any of such employees whose employment is terminated prior to such anniversary,
upon the date of termination. Please also refer to our prior discussion in the Potential Payments
Upon Termination or Change in Control section of this document.
Director Compensation
Each non-employee Director receives a one-time option to purchase shares of common stock with
a fair market value of $39,000 (with an exercise price at the fair market value of the common stock
at the time of grant) at the beginning of his or her initial term. The stock option vests annually
over three years. Additionally, each non-employee Director receives annually (i) a fee of $29,240,
(ii) an additional fee of $2,500 for each Board Committee on which he or she serves as the
Chairperson, (iii) an additional fee of $1,250 if he or she serves on the Audit Committee, (iv) an
option to purchase shares of common stock with a fair market value of $38,760, (v) an additional
option to purchase shares of common stock with a fair market value of $2,500 for each Board
Committee on which he serves as the Chairperson, and (vi) an additional option to purchase shares
of common stock with a fair market value of $1,250 if he or she serves on the Audit Committee. The
cash fees are paid in quarterly installments. The stock options are granted at the beginning of
each annual term with an exercise price at the fair market value of the common stock at the time of
grant, and they vest over the course of one year. We reimburse Directors for expenses they incur in
connection with attending Board and Committee meetings. The employee director and the appointed
designee of the holders of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock do not receive any compensation for their
participation in Board or Committee meetings.
During 2008, the Directors elected to forego a percentage of the portion of their compensation
that is paid in cash in return for stock awards. The fair values of these stock awards are included
in the table below.
The following table summarizes the cash, equity awards and other compensation earned, paid or
awarded to each of our independent Directors during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS FOR DIRECTORS
To be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the annual
meeting of stockholders to be held in 2010, a stockholder proposal must be received by the
Secretary at our principal executive offices not later than November 16, 2009. Any such proposal
will be subject to rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Our Bylaws provide an advance notice procedure for a stockholder to properly bring a proposal
before, or nominate directors for election at, an annual meeting. The stockholder must give timely
written notice to the Secretary of Online Resources Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder notice
of the proposal must be delivered or mailed to and received at our principal executive office not
less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such annual meeting; provided, however, that in the
event that less than one hundred (100) days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the
meeting is given or made to stockholders, to be timely, notice of the proposal by the stockholder
must be received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date on which
notice to stockholders of such annual meeting date was mailed or such public disclosure was made.
Proposals received after such date will not be voted on at such annual meeting. If a proposal is
received before that date, the proxies that management solicits for such annual meeting may still
exercise discretionary voting authority on the stockholder proposal under circumstances consistent
with the proxy rules of the SEC.
