     The following table sets forth further information regarding individual option grants to purchase ordinary shares during 2004 to each of the Named Officers. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, the table sets forth the hypothetical gains or “option spreads” that would exist for the options at the end of their respective ten-year terms. These gains are based on assumed rates of annual compounded share price appreciation of 5% and 10% from the dates the options were granted to the end of the respective option terms. Actual gains, if any, on option exercises depend upon the future performance of the ordinary shares and ADSs. There can be no assurance that the potential realizable values shown in this table will be achieved.

(2)   These incentive options were granted pursuant to Insignia’s 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan for U.S. Employees. These options vest and become exercisable at the rate of 2.0833% of the shares for each full month that the optionee renders service to Insignia. The option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Insignia’s ordinary shares on the date of grant and the options expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon termination of employment.
 
(3)   These incentive options were granted pursuant to Insignia’s 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan for U.S. Employees. These options vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and thereafter at the rate of 2.0833% of the shares for each full month that the optionee renders service to Insignia. The option exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Insignia’s ordinary shares on the date of grant and the options expire ten years from the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon termination of employment.
 
(4)   Mr. Collins resigned on April 20, 2005.

In addition, the table includes the number of shares covered by both exercisable and unexercisable options to acquire shares as of December 31, 2004. Also reported are values of “in-the-money” options, which represents the positive spread between the respective exercise prices of outstanding options to acquire shares and $0.87 per share, which was the closing price of the ADSs as reported on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market on December 31, 2004.

Employment agreements

     In connection with the termination of Mr. Noling’s employment in February 2003, Insignia entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Noling pursuant to which Insignia agreed to pay as severance to Mr. Noling his regular monthly base salary for a six-month period, which severance would be reduced to 50% of his base salary in the event that Mr. Noling commenced new employment during such period. All stock options held by Mr. Noling will continue to vest for so long as he continues to serve as a member of the board of directors.

     On February 13, 2001, Insignia entered into a promissory note with Mr. Noling whereby Mr. Noling borrowed $150,000 from the U.S.-based subsidiary of Insignia. Mr. Noling’s employment was terminated with Insignia effective February 14, 2003. We forgave, effective March 6, 2003 the balance of the loan, $125,362.50, in lieu of any bonus compensation.

     With effect from April 1, 1997, Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted, Chairman of Insignia, entered into a Consulting Agreement with Insignia whereby he acts as consultant to Insignia providing advice and assistance as the Board may from time to time request. The agreement was amended April 20, 1998 and deleted his commitment to provide services to Insignia and Insignia’s commitment to pay him a minimum amount. He has agreed to remain available to perform services as requested by Insignia. The agreement is terminable by either party upon six month’s advance written notice and by Insignia for cause at any time. In the event of any business combination resulting in a change of control of Insignia or in the event of disposal of a majority of the assets of Insignia, and termination or constructive termination of his consultancy, Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted will be entitled to receive an additional twenty-six week’s consultancy fees.

 


 

     We have entered into a change of control severance agreement with Mark E. McMillan pursuant to which we will continue to pay his salary for up to six months if he is terminated in connection with a change of control of the Company.

Board Composition

     Our Articles of Association stipulate that the minimum number of directors is two, but do not set any maximum number. Directors may be elected by the shareholders, or appointed by the Board, and remain in office until they resign or are removed by the shareholders. In addition, at each Annual General Meeting one-third of the directors who have been in office longest since their last election, as well as any directors appointed by the Board during the preceding year, are required to resign and are then considered for re-election, assuming they wish to stand for re-election. In the election of directors, each shareholder is entitled on a poll to one vote for each ordinary share held. Shares may not be voted cumulatively. The executive officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers of Insignia.

Board Meetings and Committees

     The Board met 13 times, including telephone conference meetings, during 2004. No director attended fewer than 90% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which he was a director) and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served (during the period that such director served).

     The Board has determined that the following directors are “independent” under current Nasdaq Marketplace Rules: Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted, Vincent Pino and David Frodsham.

     Standing committees of the Board include an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Board does not have a nominating committee or a committee performing similar functions.

     Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted, Mr. Frodsham and Mr. Pino are the current members of the Audit Committee, which met five times during 2004. The Audit Committee meets with Insignia’s independent accountants to review the adequacy of Insignia’s internal control systems and financial reporting procedures; reviews the general scope of Insignia’s annual audit and the fees charged by the independent accountants; reviews and monitors the performance of non-audit services by Insignia’s auditors, reviews the fairness of any proposed transaction between any officer, director or other affiliate of Insignia and Insignia, and after such review, makes recommendations to the full Board; and performs such further functions as may be required by any stock exchange or over-the-counter market upon which Insignia’s shares may be listed.

     Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted and Mr. Pino are the current members of the Compensation Committee. In 2004, the Compensation Committee consisted of John Fogelin and Vincent Pino. Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted was appointed to the Compensation Committee in April 2005, following Mr. Fogelin’s resignation in December 2004. The Compensation Committee met once during 2004. The Compensation Committee recommends compensation for officers and employees of Insignia, grants options under Insignia’s employee option plans (other than grants to non-officers of options pursuant to guidelines established by the Board, which may be made by Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted, Insignia’s Chairman, and Mark E. McMillan, Insignia’s Chief Executive Officer) and reviews and recommends adoption of and amendments to share option and employee benefit plans.

Director Compensation

     Insignia pays each outside director $1,000 for every regular meeting attended, $2,500 per quarter of service on the Board, $500 per quarter for service on each committee, plus $500 for each committee meeting attended, and reimburses outside directors for reasonable expenses in attending meetings of the Board. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional $1,500 per quarter. In addition, each new outside director is granted an option to purchase 25,000 shares and each outside director is granted an option to purchase 10,000 shares annually for so long as he serves as an outside director.

     With effect from April 1, 1997, Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted, Chairman of Insignia, entered into a Consulting Agreement with Insignia whereby he acts as consultant to Insignia providing advice and assistance as the Board may from

 


 

time to time request. The agreement was amended April 20, 1998 and deleted his commitment to provide services to the Company and the Company’s commitment to pay him a minimum amount. He has agreed to remain available to perform services as requested by the Company. The agreement is terminable by either party upon six months’ advance written notice and by Insignia for cause at any time. In the event of any business combination resulting in a change of control of Insignia or in the event of disposal of a majority of the assets of Insignia, and termination or constructive termination of his consultancy, Nicholas, Viscount Bearsted will be entitled to receive an additional twenty-six weeks’ consultancy fees.

Item 13—Related Party Transactions

     On February 13, 2001, Insignia entered into a promissory note with Richard M. Noling, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insignia whereby Mr. Noling borrowed $150,000 from the U.S.-based subsidiary of Insignia. Mr. Noling’s employment was terminated with Insignia effective February 14, 2003. We forgave, effective March 6, 2003 the balance of the loan, $125,362.50, in lieu of any bonus compensation.

     Two investors in the private placement on October 18, 2004 were related parties of Insignia. Mark McMillan, our Chief Executive Officer, invested $25,000 to purchase 52,083 ADSs and warrants to purchase 13,021 ADSs. In addition Vincent Pino, one of our directors, and his immediate family invested $200,000 to purchase 416,667 ADSs and warrants to purchase 104,167 ADSs.

     On October 17, 2002, we entered into a securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion Capital”), pursuant to which Fusion Capital agreed to purchase, on each trading day following the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the American Depository Shares (“ADSs”) to be purchased by Fusion Capital, $10,000 of our ADSs up to an aggregate of $6.0 million over a period of 30 months. The purchase price of the ADSs was based on a formula based on the market price at the time of each purchase. In 2004, we sold 3,100,060 shares to Fusion Capital for aggregate proceeds of $1.5 million, net of transaction costs, under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. During 2003, we issued and sold to Fusion Capital 3,380,132 ADSs resulting in proceeds of $1.9 million, net of transaction costs, under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement.

     In addition to the shares purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement, we also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares to Fusion Capital, with a per share exercise price of the United States dollar equivalent of 20.5 pence. Upon Fusion’s exercise of the warrants in 2003, we issued Fusion Capital 2,000,000 ADSs for a total of $668,000, net of issuance costs.

     During January 2005, we sold 299,007 shares for $200,000 under the 2002 Fusion Capital agreement. On February 9, 2005, Insignia sold to Fusion Capital 3,220,801 ADSs at a purchase price of $0.40 per share, resulting in proceeds of approximately $1.3 million. These shares were issued to Fusion Capital in a private placemen Insignia intends to file as soon as practicable (and within 30 days of Fusion Capital’s request) a registration statement on Form S-3 in order to register the resale of these shares.

          On February 9, 2005, Insignia and Fusion Capital entered into a mutual termination agreement pursuant to which the 2002 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement was terminated. As a result of this termination, the 2,000,000 shares issued on exercise of the warrants (described above) may be resold by Fusion Capital under the Company’s existing S-1 registration statement.

          On February 10, 2005, Insignia entered into a new securities subscription agreement with Fusion Capital to sell up to $12 million in ADSs, representing ordinary shares, to Fusion Capital over a period of 30 months (subject to daily maximum purchase amounts) (the “2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement”). The shares will be priced based on a market-based formula at the time of purchase. The commencement of funding under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement is subject to certain conditions, including the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the registration statement covering the ADSs to be purchased by Fusion Capital under the 2005 Fusion Capital securities subscription agreement. Under the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company would be required to obtain shareholder approval to sell more than 19.99% of the issued and outstanding shares as of February 9, 2005 under this agreement.

 


 

     On March 16, 2005, we closed our acquisition of mi4e Device Management AB (“mi4e”), a private company headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. The consideration paid in the transaction was 2,969,692 American depositary shares (ADSs) representing ordinary shares and another 989,896 ADSs will be issuable on March 31, 2006, subject to potential offset for breach of representations, warranties and covenants. In addition, up to a maximum of 700,000 euros is payable in a potential earn out based on a percentage of future revenue collected from sales of existing mi4e products. Anders Furehed, our senior vice president of European operations, was a 50% shareholder of mi4e and thus received 1,484,846 ADSs on the closing of the acquisition.
