Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent (10%) of a registered class of our common stock to file certain reports with the SEC regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities. Such officers, directors, and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms that they file.

Based solely on our review of the filings made by our officers, directors and 10% stockholders, we believe that all required Section 16(a) filings were made on a timely basis in 2003.

Code of Conduct

We have an established Code of Conduct that is intended to serve as a set of guiding principles to promote integrity and compliance with the law in the conduct of our business.  The Code of Conduct applies to all directors, officers and employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Controller and any other employee with responsibility for the preparation and filing of documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission. A copy of our Code of Conduct may be obtained from the Company by sending a written request to Commerce One, attention Corporate Secretary, One Market Street, Steuart Tower, Suite 1300, San Francisco, CA 94105. The Code of Conduct also will be available on our website at www.commerceone.com on or before May 4, 2004.

Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations Policy

On March 18, 2004, we adopted a Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations Policy that governs our consideration of stockholder recommendations and nominations of prospective board members. Under the policy, our Nominating and Governance Committee will consider the recommendations of stockholders who, prior to making the recommendation, have held no less than 1,000 shares of our stock for a continuous twelve-month period. Stockholder recommendations must be submitted in writing to Commerce One, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, One Market Street, Steuart Tower, Suite 1300, San Francisco, California 94105, and must include certain prescribed information, including the proposed candidate's personal and business information, the class and number of Company securities he/she owns, and a description of the proposed candidate's relationships with the Company. Recommendations must also be accompanied by personal references, including a supporting statement from the recommending stockholder regarding a proposed candidate's character and judgment.

A stockholder who instead desires to nominate a person directly for election to the Board of Directors must meet the deadlines and other requirements set forth in Section 2.2 of our Bylaws and Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. A copy of our Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations Policy is available on our website at www.commerceone.com and provides further detail about the information that recommending stockholders must provide and the criteria that our Nominating and Governance Committee will consider when assessing the suitability of any potential candidates for membership on the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

Our Audit Committee oversees our financial, reporting and accounting processes, our system of financial controls, and the selection, review, and performance of our independent auditors, including the pre-approval of all audit and non-audit related fees and services. The members of our Audit Committee are Messrs. Acosta, Gardner and Lichtenwald. We believe that each member of the Audit Committee meets the criteria for independence under applicable law and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that each is an independent director within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing standards. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that both Mr. Acosta and Mr. Lichtenwald are "Audit Committee Financial Experts" as that term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and also qualify as financially sophisticated under applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

(1) The value of the unexercised in-the-money options is based on the closing price of $1.27 of the Company's common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ National Market, on December 31, 2003 and is net of the exercise price of such options. The amounts in this column may not represent amounts actually realizable by the Named Officers.

(2) The value realized on stock option exercises represents the difference between the grant price of the options exercised and the market price of the underlying shares of common stock as of the date of exercise, multiplied by the number of options exercised.

Employment Arrangements

We have entered into change-of-control severance agreements with its executive officers and key employees. The agreements provide that if there is a change of control of Commerce One, and any executive officer or key employee is involuntarily terminated without cause within eighteen months following the change of control or the announcement of such change of control, we will provide the following to the affected executive officer or key employee:

  • a cash payment equal to 100% of his or her annual compensation plus the full target bonus for the year;
  • 100% of his or her health, dental and life insurance, including benefits paid to any dependents, through the earlier of twelve months from the date of his or her termination or the date he or she first becomes covered by another employer's group health, dental or life insurance plans providing comparable benefits and coverage; and
  • full acceleration of all unvested stock options.

Under our stock-option plans, all outstanding options that are not assumed or substituted in a change-of-control merger or asset sale will vest and become exercisable in full.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

The Compensation Committee of our board of directors is presently composed of Messrs. Gardner, Lichtenwald and Vieux. Mr. Gardner and Mr. Vieux served on the Compensation Committee throughout 2003. Mr. Lichtenwald became a member of Compensation Committee on April 3, 2003, replacing William Harding, a former board member who resigned in April 2003.

During 2003, none of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as a member of our Board of Directors or compensation committee.

Compensation of Directors

During 2003, non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $15,000, board fees of $2,500 per meeting (up to 6 regularly scheduled meetings per year), and committee fees of $1,000 per meeting (up to 4 regularly scheduled meetings per committee, or 8 regularly scheduled meetings for the Audit Committee, per year).

Non-employee directors also are eligible to receive an automatic stock option grant of 20,000 shares of common stock on the date they first become non- employee directors. In addition, the non-employee directors are automatically granted an additional option to purchase 5,000 shares each year on the date of our Annual Stockholders' Meeting, if on such date they have served on the Board for at least six months. Each option shall have a term of ten years, and shall be fully vested and exercisable as of the date of grant. The exercise price of all options shall be 100% of the fair market value per share of our common stock, determined with reference to the closing price of our common stock, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market, on the date of grant. Options granted under the plan must be exercised within three months of the end of the optionee's tenure as a director, or within twelve months after such director's termination by death or disability, but not later than the expiration of the option's ten year term.

In 2003, in addition to the options granted to employee directors shown in the "Option Grants" table on page 9, the Board granted to non-employee directors the following options to purchase an aggregate of 60,000 shares of Commerce One common stock as follows:

(1) Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, possesses sole or shared voting power and/or investment power with respect to (a) securities owned and (b) securities that may be acquired within sixty (60) days from the record date or other selected reporting date pursuant to the exercise of any option, warrant, or right, or conversion of a security.

(2) Excludes shares that may be acquired through stock option exercises.

(3) Represents shares held by the Andrew Mark Hoffman 1993 Trust dated March 30, 1993. Andrew Hoffman, beneficiary of this trust, is Mr. Hoffman's son. Mr. Hoffman disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

(4) Represents shares held by Delaware Charter Guarantee & Trust Company Trustee FBO Kenneth C. Gardner.

(5) Represents shares owned by NTT. Mr. Okihara is an Executive Manager of NTT Communications. Mr. Okihara disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares held by NTT.

(6) Represents shares held in a UTMA account for Mr. Schuster's son. Mr. Schuster disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

(7) Includes (i) 4,297,748 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) 2,209,945 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants and (iii) 320,271 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock attributable to dividends accrued from July 10, 2003 through 60 days after April 15, 2004 on the Series B Preferred Stock. The calculation of the shares beneficially owned by BayStar does not take into account the limitation on beneficial ownership contained in the terms of our Series B Preferred Stock. Specifically, no holder of our Series B Preferred Stock may convert into our common stock if to do so would mean such holder would then own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. BayStar disclaims beneficial ownership of more than 4.99% of our common stock.

(8) Includes 3,268,277 shares of common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of promissory notes held by ComVest. The notes are only convertible into our common stock if we fail to make a payment due under the notes or otherwise default under the notes. ComVest disclaims beneficial ownership of the 3,268,277 shares of our common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of the notes.

(1) The table does not include information for equity compensation plans that have been assumed by us in various acquisitions.  As of December 31, 2003, a total of 11,385 shares of common stock were issuable upon exercise of options granted under assumed plans.  The weighted average exercise price of all options granted under the assumed plans and outstanding at December 31, 2003, was $62.41. We have never issued options to purchase common stock from these plans, nor do we intend to do so.

(2) We no longer issue shares from this plan.

(3) We did not issue shares from this plan in 2003.

In January 2004, our Board of Directors adopted our 2004 Inducement Plan (the 2004 Plan) and reserved 1,600,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the plan. Only new employees are eligible to receive awards under the 2004 Plan, and options granted under the 2004 Plan may only be non-qualified stock options. The administrator of the 2004 Plan determines the exercise price of the stock options.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Business Relationships

SAP

We entered into a strategic relationship with SAP in 2000 to jointly develop, market and sell the MarketSet suite of applications and the Enterprise Buyer procurement applications.  This agreement provided that either party licensing the jointly developed products to its customers would owe a royalty to the other party.  These products were primarily targeted at electronic marketplace customers. Historically, SAP was instrumental in assisting us with selling the jointly developed products to SAP's customer base.  From 2000 to 2002, SAP accounted for a significant portion of our license revenue. 

Over time, the relationship with SAP has changed and each company has phased out the jointly developed Enterprise Buyer procurement products and replaced such products with its own successor procurement products.  In addition, the market for the Marketset suite of products has declined substantially over the past two years. In November 2003, SAP and Commerce One terminated the commercial relationship. In 2003, SAP reported royalties to us of approximately $4.1 million, and we paid SAP a total of $558,827, $111,979 of which was for consulting services and $446,848 of which was for payment of royalties.

As of December 31, 2003, through its purchases from us and on the open market, we believe that SAP beneficially owned approximately 16% of our outstanding common stock.

BayStar

In March 2004, we entered into a Consent and Amendment Agreement with BayStar Capital, the sole holder of our Series B Preferred Stock.  We agreed with BayStar to amend certain provisions of our Registration Rights Agreement covering the registration of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of BayStar's warrants (collectively the "Registrable Securities").  BayStar agreed to extend the deadline by which we must have our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-108144, the "Registration Statement") registering the resale of the Registrable Securities declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Previously, if the Registration Statement was not declared effective on or before April 5, 2004, then BayStar would have the right to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for a price equal to the greater of 120% of the original purchase price of $10 million plus any accrued and unpaid dividends or the then current market value of the Series B Preferred Stock on an as-converted-to-Common Stock basis.  Pursuant to the Consent and Amendment Agreement, BayStar agreed to allow us an additional ninety days (until July 4, 2004) to get the Registration Statement declared effective before BayStar may exercise its redemption right.  BayStar also agreed to waive its right, for the period up to and including July 4, 2004, to receive cash penalties of $5,000 per day resulting from the fact that the Registration Statement was not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission by January 6, 2004. In consideration for this agreement, we issued 500,000 shares to BayStar and we made a cash payment of $200,000 to BayStar.

Audit Committee Authorization of Audit and Non-Audit Services

The Audit Committee possesses sole authority to authorize all audit and permissible non-audit services provided to the Company by our independent auditors. The Audit Committee, or subcommittee thereof, pre- approved all fees for the audit and non-audit related services we received from our independent auditors during 2003. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent auditors, and has concluded that the services performed by our independent auditors on our behalf were compatible with maintaining their independence.
