Pursuant to this proxy statement, TCP is soliciting proxies from holders of the Company’s common stock to vote for the Nominees.

BACKGROUND AND REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

 

In July 2006 funds affiliated with TCP purchased 75,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), which are currently convertible into 4,621,570 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Between October 2007 and July 2008, funds affiliated with TCP also acquired 2,826,000 shares of Common Stock through open market purchases. As of the date of this proxy statement TCP beneficially owns an aggregate of 7,447,570 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 21.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

On December 23, 2008, TCP sent a letter to the Board which, among other things, expressed TCP’s concern over the steep decline in the market price of the Common Stock and the growing challenge of operating a small standalone financial technology company in a difficult competitive environment. TCP made a number of suggestions to the Board as to how it should proceed to maximize stockholder value. Among other things, TCP suggested that the Company work proactively toward one or more consolidating transactions, in parallel with improving operational execution. TCP also suggested that the Board add new independent Board members with sector and transactional expertise. The Participants are not currently aware of any specific consolidating transaction that is available to the Company, but the Nominees intend, if elected, to encourage other Board members and Company management to continuously explore strategic alternatives available to the Company that may create value to all stockholders.

 

Since delivery of TCP’s December 23 letter, the Board has failed to engage with TCP in a dialogue on the merits of its recommendations. TCP therefore decided to nominate three highly qualified individuals for each of the Board seats that are to be filled at the Annual Meeting. TCP believes that its Nominees possess the skills and experience necessary to effectively govern management and assist it in developing future strategic plans. See the information under the heading “Election of Directors” beginning on page 4 for additional information about the Nominees.

 

SHARES OUTSTANDING AND VOTING RIGHTS

 

Only holders of record of Common Stock and Preferred Stock at the close of business on March 9, 2009 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who sell shares of Common Stock before the Record Date (or acquire them after the Record Date) may not vote such shares at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders of record on the Record Date will retain their voting rights in connection with the Annual Meeting even if they sell such shares after the Record Date. Holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock on the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share at the Annual Meeting on each proposal.

 

According to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2008, there were 29,342,241 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding as of November 4, 2008, in addition to the 75,000 shares of Preferred Stock, which are beneficially owned by TCP and which are convertible to 4,621,570 shares of Common Stock. Holders of record of the Company’s Preferred Stock on the Record Date are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis at the Annual Meeting on each proposal. TCP intends to vote all of the shares it beneficially owns FOR the election of the Nominees.

 

VOTING AND PROXY PROCEDURE

 

Quorum

 

The conduct of business at the Annual Meeting requires a quorum. According to the bylaws of the Company, the holders of a majority of all of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes. Under applicable law, abstentions and broker non-votes count toward the quorum.

Proposal 1: Election of Directors

 

The nominees for Director who receive the most votes (also known as a “plurality” of the votes) will be elected. Abstentions are not counted for purposes of electing Directors. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of Directors. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of this vote.

 

With respect to Proposal 1, the accompanying BLUE proxy card will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions on such BLUE proxy card. Stockholders may vote for the Nominees by marking the proper boxes on the BLUE proxy card. If no instructions are given with respect to this item, the BLUE proxy card will be voted FOR all Nominees.

 

Proposal 2: Ratification of Selection of Auditors

 

Based on information contained in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 22, 2008 (the “2008 Proxy Statement”), it is expected that at the Annual Meeting stockholders will be asked to ratify the appointment by the Board of KPMG LLP as the independent auditors of the Company for the year 2009. We are not making any recommendation on this proposal. Please refer to the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting, when available, for a more detailed discussion of this proposal.

 

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the selection of independent auditors. Abstentions will be treated as votes against this proposal. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

 

With respect to Proposal 2, the accompanying BLUE proxy card will be voted in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions on such BLUE proxy card. Stockholders may vote on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP by marking the proper box on the BLUE proxy card. If no instructions are given with respect to this item, you will be deemed to have given a direction to ABSTAIN from voting the shares represented by the BLUE proxy card with respect to the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP.

 

Revocation of Proxies

 

Any stockholder signing and returning the enclosed BLUE proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by: (i) providing a timely, later-dated written revocation of proxy to the Secretary of the Company; (ii) providing a timely, later-dated and properly completed proxy to the Secretary of the Company; or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

Other Matters To Be Considered At The Annual Meeting

 

Except as set forth above, we are not aware of any matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting. Should other matters properly be brought before the Annual Meeting, the attached BLUE proxy card, when duly executed, will give the proxies named therein discretionary authority to vote on all such other matters and on all matters incident to the conduct of the Annual Meeting.

 

Execution and delivery of a proxy by a record holder of shares of Common Stock will be presumed to be a proxy with respect to all shares held by such record holder unless the proxy specifies otherwise.

 

INFORMATION ABOUT PARTICIPANTS IN THE SOLICITATION

 

TCP, Tennenbaum Opportunities Partners V, LP (“TOP”), Special Value Opportunities Fund, LLC (“SVOF”), Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC (“SVEF”), Michael Leitner, Hugh Steven Wilson and each of the Nominees are participants (collectively, the “Participants”) in the solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. Information concerning the Participants, including information related to all transactions by the Participants in the Company’s securities within the past two years, is set forth in Annex A to this proxy statement.

 

Except as otherwise disclosed in this proxy statement, none of the Participants: (i) is, or was within the past year, party to any contracts, arrangements or understandings with any person with respect to the Company’s

securities, including, but not limited to, joint ventures, loan or options agreements, puts or calls, guarantees against loss or of profit, division of losses or profits, or the giving or withholding of proxies; or (ii) has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (other than traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) within the past ten years. Also, except as otherwise disclosed in this proxy statement, neither the Participants nor any of their respective associates: (i) had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000; or (ii) has any arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any future employment by the Company or its affiliates or with respect to any future transactions to which the Company or any of its affiliates will or may be a party.

 

In connection with their service as a Nominee, TCP entered into a Nominee Agreement with each of the Nominees. Pursuant to the Nominee Agreements, TCP has, among other things, agreed to (i) pay a fee of $50,000 to each of the Nominees upon the filing of a preliminary proxy statement with the Commission in connection with the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Annual Meeting and (ii) indemnify the Nominees against certain potential liabilities that might arise in connection with such Nominee being named as a director nominee and related matters. The indemnification provisions of the Nominee Agreement only cover the Nominees’ service as a Nominee and not, if elected, as a director of the Company. The compensation provided by the Nominee Agreement is only for service as a Nominee and not, if elected, as a director of the Company.

John Dorman.  Mr. Dorman, who is currently a private investor, served from October 1998 to August 2003 as Chief Executive Officer of Digital Insight Corporation, a provider of online banking and electronic payment services to mid-market banks and credit unions. Following his retirement as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Dorman continued to serve on the board of directors of Digital Insight until the company was acquired in 2007 by Intuit Inc.

Mr. Dorman is 58 years old.

 

Edward D. Horowitz.  Since May 2008, Mr. Horowitz has provided financial, advisory and technology consulting services through Edslink, LLC, a company which he founded. From May 2005 until May 2008, Mr. Horowitz was the President and Chief Executive Officer of SES Americom, a commercial satellite provider, and a member of the executive committee of its parent company, SES Global. Between July 2000 and May 2005, Mr. Horowitz provided financial, advisory and technology consulting services through Edslink, LLC. From January

1997 to July 2000, Mr. Horowitz was Executive Vice President of Citigroup’s Advanced Development unit, and Chairman of Citigroup’s e-Citi unit. Mr. Horowitz received a B.S. from City College of New York and an M.B.A. from Columbia University. His business address is c/o Edslink, LLC, 1140 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. Mr. Horowitz is 61 years old.

 

Mr. Horowitz is a member of the board of directors of EaglePicher, a private company which is 45% owned by funds affiliated with TCP. Mr. Horowitz also provides consulting services to TCP through Edslink, LLC. He has received $7,500 from TCP in the aggregate as compensation for such services.

 

Bruce A. Jaffe.  Since March 2008, Mr. Jaffe has been the General Manager of Three Point Group, LLC, an entity through which he provides consulting and advisory services. Between June 1995 and February 2008, Mr. Jaffe was an executive at Microsoft Corporation, a computer technology company which develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a wide range of software products and services for many different types of computing devices. Most recently, Mr. Jaffe held the position of Corporate Vice President, Corporate Development at Microsoft Corporation, a position which he held from December 2005 until February 2008. From April 2003 until December 2005, he was Corporate Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, MSN Division at Microsoft Corporation.

Mr. Jaffe is 44 years old.

 

Under Delaware corporate law, the Board is charged with the management of the Company, including determining its strategic direction. TCP believes, therefore, that if the Nominees are elected they would be in a position, as directors of the Company, to influence the strategic direction of the Company in accordance with their fiduciary duties.

 

The Nominees will constitute a minority of the Board if they are elected and, therefore, even if they vote unanimously with Mr. Leitner, will not be able to adopt any measures without the support of other members of the Board. Depending on the responsiveness of the Board to any proposals or initiatives presented by the Nominees, TCP may seek to nominate additional directors to the Board at the 2010 annual meeting if TCP believes that additional representation on the Board would make its efforts more effective.

 

None of the Nominees has any contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company, or (except as provided in the Nominee Agreements) any financial interest concerning the Company. None of the Nominees own, beneficially or of record, any securities of the Company.

 

TCP reserves the right to nominate additional persons if the Company increases the size of the Board above its existing size or increases the number of directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting. The Participants believe that existing advance notice provisions in the Company’s bylaws would not be applicable in those instances given that the advance notice window under the Company’s bylaws has already closed. Additional nominations made pursuant to this paragraph are without prejudice to the position of TCP that any attempt to increase the size of the current Board or to reconstitute or reconfigure the classes on which the current directors serve would be inappropriate. In the event that any additional person is nominated by the Participants as a result of any increase in the size of the current Board or increase in the number of directors whose terms expire at the Annual Meeting then such person will be named and information regarding such person will be provided to stockholders in a proxy supplement and revised proxy card disseminated at that time.

 

WE STRONGLY URGE YOU TO VOTE FOR THE ABOVE NOMINEES BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD IN THE POSTAGE-PREPAID ENVELOPE PROVIDED WITH THIS PROXY STATEMENT. IF YOU SIGN THE ENCLOSED BLUE PROXY CARD WITHOUT INDICATING YOUR VOTE, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE DIRECTED THE APPOINTED PROXIES TO VOTE YOUR SHARES FOR THE ELECTION OF ALL OF THE NOMINEES. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY RETURNED A PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY COMPANY MANAGEMENT TO THE COMPANY, SUBMITTING A BLUE PROXY WITH A LATER DATE WILL REVOKE THE EARLIER PROXY.

 

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

 

Proxies may be solicited from individuals, banks, brokers, custodians, nominees, other institutional holders and other fiduciaries in person and by mail, phone, publication and electronic means.

 

TCP has entered into an agreement with MacKenzie Partners, Inc. for solicitation and advisory services in connection with this solicitation, for which MacKenzie Partners, Inc. will receive a fee not to exceed $150,000, together with reimbursement for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and will be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws. MacKenzie Partners, Inc. will solicit proxies from individuals, brokers, banks, bank nominees and other institutional holders. TCP will request banks, brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward all solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock they hold of record. TCP will reimburse these record holders for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in so doing. It is anticipated that MacKenzie Partners, Inc. will employ approximately 45 persons to solicit the Company’s stockholders for the Annual Meeting.

 

TCP and its affiliates will pay the cost of its solicitation of proxies at the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy material to stockholders. If its solicitation is successful and any or all Nominees are elected to the Board, TCP may, without seeking further approval by the Company’s stockholders, seek reimbursement of its solicitation expenses from the Company. Several of TCP’s officers and regular full-time employees may solicit proxies during the course of their ordinary employment and will not receive any additional compensation.

 

TCP has incurred costs for legal counsel and other services related to this solicitation. The total cost of TCP’s solicitation as of February 23, 2009 was approximately $185,000; TCP estimates that the final cost of the solicitation will be approximately $550,000.

ANNEX B

 

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES

 

The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by: (i) the Company’s named executive officers, as identified in the 2008 Proxy Statement, (ii) the Company’s directors, and (iii) holders of more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock. Unless otherwise indicated below, information below regarding the number of shares beneficially owned by each director and executive officer of the Company is based solely on the 2008 Proxy Statement. Except for TCP, information below regarding the number of shares beneficially owned by each holder of more than 5% of the Company’s Common Stock is based solely on the most recent Statement of Acquisition of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13G or Schedule 13D which has been filed by such holder.

 

Generally, shares of Common Stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of other securities are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table. However, since information in the table below with respect to directors and executive officers is based solely on the 2008 Proxy Statement (unless otherwise indicated below), only those shares of Common Stock that may have been acquired by such directors and executive officers within 60 days of April 14, 2008 (the date of the 2008 Proxy Statement) are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such director or executive officer.

 

Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, the owners named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock shown to be beneficially owned by them based on information provided by these stockholders. Except as provided below, percentage of ownership is based on 29,342,241 shares of Common Stock outstanding on November 4, 2008, as disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2008, filed on November 10, 2008.
