Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 of Obagi Medical Products, Inc. originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2013 (the “Original Filing”).  This Amendment is being filed to provide the information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of Part III of the Original Filing. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from a definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year end. We are filing this Amendment to amend and restate Part III, Items 10 through 14 in the Original Filing to include information previously omitted from the Original Filing because we do not expect to file our definitive proxy statement containing this information before that date. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing has been deleted.  In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed herewith as exhibits to this Amendment.

Other than the items outlined above, there are no changes to the Original Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events. Such subsequent matters are addressed in subsequent reports filed by us with the SEC. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and our other filings with the SEC.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to select and engage, at our expense, such outside consultants, legal counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary and advisable to assist it in the performance of its functions, including the sole authority to retain and terminate any compensation consultant and to approve the consultant’s fees and other retention terms. In 2012, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. to serve as its independent compensation consultant and determined that it was independent. 

For further discussion regarding the Compensation Committee’s role in the compensation of our executive officers, see the section entitled “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below.  The report of the Compensation Committee is included below in this Amendment.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Messrs. Badie (Chairman), Duerden and Fitzgibbons. Messrs. Badie, Duerden and Fitzgibbons are independent directors under the Nasdaq rules.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met three times in 2012 and all of the members of the committee attended those meetings. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, among other things:
    
       •
Selects and evaluates individuals for appointment to the Board, including assessing the particular experience, qualifications, attributes and skills possessed by each such individual;
 
       •
Identifies, evaluates and recommends directors for appointment to its committees;
 
       •
Prepares and recommends corporate governance guidelines for approval by our Board;
 
       •
Prepares and recommends, and from time to time assesses, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics;
 
       •
Reviews the committee’s charter at least annually;
 
       •
Provides recommendations to our Board on matters regarding management succession; and
 
       •
Conducts an annual review and evaluation of the performance of the Board.

Director Nominations
 
Criteria for Board Membership.  In selecting candidates for appointment or re-election to the Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the appropriate balance of experience, skills and characteristics required of our Board, and seeks to ensure that at least a majority of the directors will be independent under the Nasdaq rules, and that members of our Audit Committee meet the financial literacy and sophistication requirements under the Nasdaq rules and at least one of them qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC. Although we do not have a formal policy with respect to diversity, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does review the qualities of the Board members as a group, including the diverse nature of the Board’s professional experiences, viewpoints, skills, expertise with respect to the various facets of our business operations, and educational backgrounds. Nominees for director were also selected on the basis of their depth and breadth of experience, integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of our business environment, and willingness to devote adequate time to Board duties. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board may, from time to time, establish and consider specific skills and experiences that they believe we should seek in nominees for director in order to constitute a diverse, balanced and effective Board.
 
Stockholder Nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider written proposals from stockholders for nominees for director. Any such nominations should be submitted to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee c/o the Secretary of the Company and should include the following information: (i) all information relating to such nominee that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act (including such person’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected); (ii) the names and addresses of the stockholders making the nomination and the number of shares of our common stock that are owned beneficially and held of record by such stockholders; and (iii) appropriate biographical information and a statement as to the qualification of the nominee, and should be submitted in the time frame described in the our Bylaws and under the SEC rules.
 
Process for Identifying and Evaluating Nominees.  In the ordinary course, absent special circumstances or a material change in the criteria for Board membership, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will re-nominate incumbent directors who continue to be qualified for service on our Board and are willing to continue as directors.  If an incumbent director is not standing for re-election, or if a vacancy on the Board occurs between annual stockholder meetings, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will seek out potential candidates for Board appointment who meet the criteria for selection as a nominee and have the specific qualities or skills being sought. Director candidates will be selected based on input from members of the Board, our executives and, if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee deems appropriate, a third-party search firm. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate each candidate’s qualifications and check relevant references. In addition, such candidates will be interviewed by at least one member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Candidates meriting serious consideration will meet with all members of the Board. Based on this input, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate which of the prospective candidates is qualified to serve as a director and whether the committee should recommend to the Board that this candidate be appointed to fill a current vacancy on the Board, or presented for the approval of the stockholders, as appropriate.

Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has not adopted a formal policy with respect to stockholder nominees, the committee expects that the evaluation process for a stockholder nominee would be similar to the process outlined above.

Executive Summary

Our Compensation Committee, with the guidance of its compensation consultant,  has designed our executive officer compensation program to achieve the following objectives: (i) attract, retain, motivate and reward highly talented and dedicated executive officers; (ii) align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders; and (iii) provide total compensation to each executive officer that is both competitive with peer companies and reflective of individual and corporate performance.  Within this framework, the committee strives to ensure that the total compensation paid to all of our executives, including the Named Executive Officers, is fair, reasonable and competitive.  In addition, the committee believes that the compensation paid to our executives should be substantially dependent upon our financial performance and the value that we create for our stockholders. For this reason, the committee structures our compensation programs to provide incentives for the attainment of our short-term and long-term strategic and financial objectives, and rewards those executives who make meaningful contributions to the attainment of those objectives. These principles and policies resulted in the following key decisions for our 2012 executive officer compensation:
 
       •
Varied Elements of Compensation. The compensation of each of our Named Executive Officers in 2012 primarily consisted of three elements: (i) a base salary; (ii) participation in an annual cash bonus plan tied to our attainment of pre-established corporate financial objectives; and (iii) long-term stock-based incentive awards, in the form of stock.  This mix of compensation elements emphasizes performance results, with generally more than half of the targeted compensation for each named executive officer being performance-based. By allocating a significant portion of total compensation to variable pay for our executive officers, we are able to maintain control over fixed compensation expenses in the form of base salaries, while affording meaningful upside potential to executives from achievement of company and individual performance goals;
 
       •
Total Target Executive Compensation was Competitive. In 2012, the Compensation Committee targeted total direct compensation, in the aggregate (i.e., including base pay, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity award incentives) in a manner that is in line with the sixty-fifth percentile of comparable executive officers in the peer group identified below as an initial benchmark. The committee chose to target the sixty-fifth percentile because successful execution of our business plan requires a small number of executives with superior skills and the Compensation Committee believes that using the sixty-fifth percentile will give us a competitive advantage over the companies with which we compete by allowing us to attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives possible;
 
       •
Base Salaries and Target Bonus Opportunities Reflected Economic Conditions.   Due to uncertainty in the economic conditions in the United States and around the world in recent years, our Named Executive Officers received no increases in their base salaries during 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2012, upon the recommendation of its compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee approved merit increases between 3-6% for our Named Executive Officers, other than Mr. Taylor who joined us in August 2012, as discussed below.  The target annual cash bonus for each of our Named Executive Officers remained at the same level as in 2011 and 2010;
 
       •
Actual Cash Bonuses Paid Were Based on Our Performance Against Aggressive Goals. The goals we establish under our annual incentive plans are aggressive ones that are not easily achievable.  Actual bonuses paid under our 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) were 118.4% of the target bonus for each Named Executive Officer in 2012.  However, the actual bonuses paid under our 2011 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) were only 39.4% of the target bonus for each Named Executive Officer in 2011.  In addition, these cash incentives are capped at 75% of base salary for our Chief Executive Officer and 50-60% of base salary for the other Named Executive Officers, thereby limiting the incentive for excessive risk-taking and a focus on short-term results only;
 
       •
Stock Options Were a Key Component of Compensation. Stock options align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders and are the primary long-term compensation vehicle for our named executive officers. Options closely align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders because our executive officers will realize a return on their options only to the extent there is an increase in the fair market value of the underlying shares over the exercise price, and only to the extent the executive continues to remain employed by us through the vesting period. As reflected in the Summary Compensation Table appearing below, stock options represented a significant portion of each Named Executive Officer’s total overall compensation for 2012; and
 
       •
No Significant Perquisites. Consistent with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, we do not provide our executive officers with any significant perquisites, other than those offered to our employees generally, such as participation in our 401(k) plan and the provision of healthcare, life and disability insurance.
 
 
Compensation Goals and Philosophy
 
The primary goals of our Compensation Committee with respect to executive compensation are to attract and retain a talented and dedicated management team, motivate them to achieve our specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, and align their interests with those of the stockholders by only rewarding performance that meets or exceeds established thresholds, and provides consequences for under performance, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. Our Compensation Committee evaluated individual executive performance with a goal of setting compensation at levels the committee believes are appropriate, taking into account the responsibility and performance of, and compensation paid to, our other executives and to executive officers at comparable companies.
 
In 2012, the Compensation Committee engaged the services of a new compensation consultant, Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“Cook & Co.”) to assist it in its duties, including providing advice regarding industry trends relating to the form and amount of compensation provided to executives by companies with which we compete for executive talent. The compensation consultant did no work for us other than its work for the Compensation Committee and reported directly to the Compensation Committee through its chairperson. The Compensation Committee retains the right to terminate or replace its compensation consultant at any time.
 
In 2012, Cook & Co. provided the Compensation Committee with:
 
       •
Market survey data and competitive practices analysis;
 
       •
Advice regarding competitive levels of executive base salaries, annual performance incentive awards, annual equity awards, executive benefits and perquisites, and severance benefits;
 
       •
A comprehensive review of our executive compensation strategy and policies, including reviewing the relative compensation of our peer group companies and the criteria for selecting peers that was used in preparing this Amendment as well as advising on our short- and long-term compensation incentives and our equity compensation strategy; and
 
       •
Support for the preparation of our disclosure in this Amendment of peer group data (excluding compensation related data relative to the designated peer group).
 
  Direct Peer Group
 
In 2012, with the assistance and upon the recommendation of Cook & Co., the Compensation Committee developed a revised peer group that includes companies with revenue and market capitalization within a proscribed range that overlaps more closely than the peer group previously used by the committee with comparators used by others, such as companies that issue proxy voting guidelines, when comparing our performance and compensation to industry peers. Our Compensation Committee selected the following 18 companies consisting of direct competitors having comparable revenue and net income and similar sales and marketing initiatives as Obagi, for the purposes of evaluating executive compensation in 2012:

 
10

 
 
• Aveo Pharmaceuticals Inc.
• Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc.
• Cutera Inc.
• Cynosure Inc.
• Derma Sciences Inc.
• Dusa Pharmaceuticals Inc.
 
 
• Emergent Biosolutions Inc.
• Enzon Pharmaceuticals Inc.
    • Exelixis, Inc.
    • Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    • ISTA Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
    • Palomar Medical Technologies Inc.
 
                •  Santaras Inc.
                • SciClone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
• Solta Medical Inc.
• Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
• Sucampo Pharmaceuticals Inc
• Zeltiq Aesthetics Inc.
 
Our Compensation Committee believes that this diverse group of companies set an appropriate standard against which to measure the compensation packages awarded to our executives for 2012.  The Compensation Committee used these peer companies as a guideline when determining total compensation paid to our executives for 2012.  The Compensation Committee targeted approximately the sixty-fifth percentile of total direct compensation paid to the comparable executives of these companies.  The committee chose to target the sixty-fifth percentile because successful execution of our business plan requires a small number of executives with superior skills and the Compensation Committee believes that using the sixty-fifth percentile will give us a competitive advantage over the companies with which we compete by allowing us to attract and retain the most talented and dedicated executives possible.
 
For the committee’s review of executive compensation for 2012, Cook & Co. did not provide a comparison of these peer group companies’ relative compensation data for 2012, as all of these companies had not yet reported year end compensation data by the time the Compensation Committee reviewed and determined the compensation packages for our Named Executive Officers for 2012. Therefore, 2011 compensation data was generally used in evaluating our executives’ compensation for 2012.  

Role of Executives in Compensation Decisions
 
The Compensation Committee makes all of the decisions regarding compensation for our executives, including the Named Executive Officers, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to all of such individuals. Decisions regarding non-equity compensation of other employees are made by our Chief Executive Officer within the framework established by our Compensation Committee.
 
The performance of our Chief Executive Officer is reviewed by our Compensation Committee, after asking him to provide his view concerning his performance.  Our Chief Executive Officer annually reviews the performance of each executive and the conclusions reached, and the recommendations made, by him based on these reviews are presented to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee then discusses the reviews and recommendations that were presented by the Chief Executive Officer, and discusses its own reviews of the performance of the executives. The Compensation Committee thereafter exercises its discretion in deciding the compensation to be paid to each of these individuals.
 
Elements of Compensation
 
To achieve the Compensation Committee’s objectives, our compensation plan must serve three primary purposes. First, it must be competitive. In 2012, competitive meant targeting total direct compensation, in the aggregate (i.e., including base pay, short-term cash incentives and long-term equity award incentives) in a manner that is in line with the sixty-fifth percentile of comparable executive officers in the peer group identified above as an initial benchmark. Individual targets are equitably set on the same basis, compared to both peers and internal benchmarks. Second, it should provide compensation that varies based on the company’s performance and the individual performance of each executive. Third, it should align each participant's interests with those of our stockholders. The principal components of executive compensation consist of the following:
 
 Base Salary.  Base salaries are provided to our executives to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salaries for executive officers are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and their individual performance. Generally, base salaries are reviewed annually, and adjusted from time to time to
 
 
11

 
 
realign salaries after taking into account individual responsibilities, performance and experience. For 2012, this review occurred in the second quarter. At that time, our Compensation Committee reviewed information gathered by Cook & Co. regarding compensation of executive officers in the peer group discussed above. The data indicated that overall, base salaries for the Named Executive Officers were slightly below the median of their peers, which may be due in part to the fact that their base salaries had not been increased in 2009, 2010 or 2011 due to the uncertain economic conditions in the United States and around the world.  As a result, the Compensation Committee, upon the recommendation of its compensation consultant, decided to approve increases to the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers ranging from 3-6%. These increases were implemented in May 2012.  The following table sets forth the annual base salary for each Named Executive Officer following such increase:

Mr. Taylor joined the company in August 2012.
 
Annual Cash Incentives. In May 2012, the Compensation Committee approved the 2012 Plan, which is an incentive compensation program for the year ended December 31, 2012 under the 2005 Plan. It amends and restates and is the successor plan to the 2011 Plan.  The 2012 Plan was designed to motivate, retain and reward our employees, including our executives, based on the achievement of specified corporate revenue and adjusted EBIT (as defined below) objectives, as well as individual objectives in certain cases.
 
For 2012, in light of continuing uncertain economic conditions and the volatile economic environment, the Compensation Committee established target revenue and earnings before interest and taxes, as adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges relating to the issuance of equity instruments (“adjusted EBIT”), objectives of $122.9 million and $19.4 million respectively.  For the 2012 Plan to be funded for eligible participants to earn any bonuses, we had to achieve at least 80.0% of the revenue objective and at least 80.0% of the adjusted EBIT objective.  Assuming 100% achievement of the target revenue and adjusted EBIT objectives, the aggregate 2012 Plan pool would have been funded in the amount of $2.47 million, a slight increase from the 2011 Plan's target of $2.36 million.  Under the 2012 Plan, if we achieved between the minimum required 80.0% of each objective and the 100% target for each objective, then the potential bonus amount for each executive officer and non-executive employee would be reduced by 5.0% and 3.0%, respectively, for each 1% that we were below the target objective, and the bonus pool would be reduced accordingly. If the revenue and adjusted EBIT objectives were exceeded, an increased amount would have been funded to the 2012 Plan pool, up to 150% of the target 2012 Plan pool. The relative weightings of these financial performance objectives and contributions to the overall target 2011 Plan pool were as follows:
 
 
Financial Performance Objective at Target Level
 
Weighting
   
Total Contribution to Bonus Pool at Target Performance
 
Revenue Objective
    30 %   $ 740,700  
Adjusted EBIT Objective
    70 %   $ 1,728,300  
 
The total target bonus pool was determined based on our employee headcount at the time the 2012 Plan was adopted, and was subject to adjustment based on employee hiring, terminations and attrition levels during the year.
 
In accordance with the terms of the 2012 Plan, our Compensation Committee had full and final discretion to adjust in good faith the performance objectives and/or achieved financial results to reflect the occurrence of extraordinary events.  In March 2013, the Compensation Committee determined that, for the year ended December 31, 2012, we had achieved:
 
 
12

 
 
       •
98.2% of the revenue objective, based upon our total net revenue of $120.7million; and
 
       •
106.0% of the adjusted EBIT objective, based upon total adjusted EBIT of $20.6 million, which was further adjusted at the Compensation Committee’s discretion to exclude the recovery of funds related to the settlement of our outstanding litigation with certain former insurance carriers.
 
Based on these results, and after adjustment for achievement below the 100% target level and for employee terminations and attrition during the year, the total bonus pool available for distribution to all participants based on our actual level of performance against targeted performance was $2.52 million.
 
The 2012 Plan participants were eligible to receive individual bonus awards as established by our Compensation Committee based upon our achievement of the company objectives and, in some cases, individual objectives, out of this total bonus pool. The Compensation Committee established individual target bonus amounts calculated as a percentage, ranging from 50-75%, of the participant’s base salary for each of our Named Executive Officers as set forth in the table below.  These target bonus levels, in combination with the base salaries discussed above which remain slightly below the median of the peer group, would place total cash compensation for the Named Executive Officers at approximately 10% above the median of the peer group which is consistent with the Compensation Committee’s goal of targeting the sixty-fifth percentile.

Based upon our achievement against the financial performance objectives for 2012, the total bonus available to be paid to each Named Executive Officer was 118.4% of such executive’s target bonus amount, however the Compensation Committee had discretion under the 2011 Plan to award bonus amounts that were in excess of or below the targeted bonus amounts.  The following table sets forth the individual target bonus amount established for each Named Executive Officer, the percentage of the target bonus amount available for distribution based upon our actual level of performance against targeted performance, and the actual bonus amount earned by each Named Executive Officer:

Mr. Taylor joined Obagi in August 2012. The amount of the bonus actually awarded to Mr. Taylor has been prorated based upon the length of time he served as a Named Executive Officer during the year ended December 31, 2012.

In making determinations of the actual bonus amount to be paid to Mr. Hummel, the Compensation Committee considered the company’s performance in 2012 as well as Mr. Hummel’s performance during the year.  In determining the actual bonus amounts to be paid to the other Named Executive Officers, the Compensation

Committee considered Mr. Hummel’s recommendations based upon his assessment of such executive’s performance against certain financial and non-financial goals established for that executive in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer at the beginning of 2012, the performance of that executive’s division or other area of primary responsibility, and any other challenges faced or achievements accomplished during the year.
 
Eligible participants under the 2012 Plan were full-time employees, including executives, who did not participate in sales or other variable incentive pay plans and were employed by us on December 31, 2012.
 
 Long-Term Equity Incentive Program. The Compensation Committee believes that positive long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages such performance by our executives through the use of stock and stock-based awards.  Our stock compensation plans have been established to provide certain of our employees, including our executives, with incentives to help align those employees’ interests with the interests of stockholders and to retain our executives. The Compensation Committee believes that the use of stock and stock-based awards offers the best approach to achieving our long-term compensation goals. The Compensation Committee further believes that stock options should remain the Company’s primary long-term incentive vehicle at this time because, ultimately, the options provide no value to employees unless there is an increase in share value, which is directly aligned with the interests of our stockholders. We have not adopted stock ownership guidelines and our stock compensation plans have provided the principal method for our executives to acquire equity interests in the company.
 
Options.   Our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2005 Plan”), authorizes us to grant options to purchase shares of common stock to our employees, directors and consultants. The Compensation Committee is the administrator of the 2005 Plan. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves stock option awards to executives based upon a review of competitive compensation data, its assessment of individual performance, a review of each executive’s existing long-term incentives, and retention considerations. Periodic stock option grants are made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to eligible employees and, in appropriate circumstances, the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of members of management, such as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Stock option grants are also made at the commencement of employment and, from time to time, following a significant change in job responsibilities or to meet other special retention or performance objectives. Stock options granted by us generally have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the day of grant (except in certain instances where grants to executives have a higher exercise price), typically vest 33.33% per annum based upon continued employment over a three-year period, and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Incentive stock options also include certain other terms necessary to assure compliance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), although we have not granted any incentive stock options under the 2005 Plan to date. 
 
In May 2012, the Compensation Committee, after considering the individual performance and contributions of the Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Taylor), their existing long-term incentives, our overall financial performance and relevant market data, the effect of market conditions on our stock price and tenure with the company, approved stock option grants of 165,000, 50,000, 50,000 and 25,000 to Messrs. Hummel, Romm and Goldstein and Ms. Hunter, respectively, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  Each such option will vest in three equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the option grant date.

Upon his appointment as our Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Investor Relations in August 2012, Mr. Taylor was awarded an option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.  Such option vests in three equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the option grant date.
 
 Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  The 2005 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee to grant restricted stock and restricted stock units, subject to restrictions that lapse in installments or as our Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Shares of common stock that are subject to restrictions will be forfeited to and reacquired by us if the recipient's employment or service terminates prior to vesting.  While our Compensation Committee did award restricted stock units to our executives in early 2008 to ensure the management team’s continued commitment to increase stockholder value as well as in anticipation of competitive challenges

faced in 2008, the Compensation Committee does not currently intend to make such awards on a regular basis, and no such awards were granted in 2012.
 
2013 Executive Compensation Decisions

Annual Cash Incentives.  In March 2013, the Compensation Committee approved and adopted the 2013 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which was designed to motivate, retain and reward our employees, including our executives, based upon the achievement of corporate revenue and adjusted EBIT objectives, as well as individual objectives in certain cases.  Assuming 100% achievement of the target revenue and adjusted EBIT objectives, the aggregate 2013 Plan pool will be funded in the amount of $2.48 million, a slight increase from the 2012 Plan's target of $2.47 million.  For the 2013 Plan pool to be funded for executive officers and other participants to earn any bonuses, we must achieve at least 80% of the revenue objective and at least 80% of the adjusted EBIT objective.  If the revenue and adjusted EBIT objectives are exceeded, an increased amount will be funded to the 2013 Plan pool, up to 150% of the target pool.  If we achieve between the minimum required 80% and the target 100% of each objective, then the potential bonus amount for each executive officer and non-executive employee will be reduced by 5% and 3%, respectively, for each 1% that we are below the target objective, and the bonus pool will be reduced accordingly.  Thirty percent of the 2013 Plan pool will relate to the revenue objective, and 70% of the pool will relate to the adjusted EBIT objective.
 
In the event that the revenue and adjusted EBIT objectives are sufficiently achieved to fund the 2013 Plan pool, the participants in the 2013 Plan may be eligible to receive individual incentive awards as established by our Compensation Committee based on achievement of individual performance objectives, the corporate financial objectives (in certain cases) and/or certain company performance objectives. Our Compensation Committee has established the following individual target bonus amounts calculated as a percentage of the participant’s current base salary for our executive officers:

The Compensation Committee may, if permitted by law, make retroactive adjustments to any awards made under the 2013 Plan paid to Named Executive Officers and other executives where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of specified financial results that were the subject of a subsequent restatement.  Where applicable, we will seek to recover any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by the individual executive officer.

Eligible participants under the 2013 Plan are full-time employees, including executives, who do not participate in sales or other variable incentive pay plans and are employed by us on December 31, 2013.
 
 Amendment to 2005 Plan.  In March 2013, the Board approved an amendment to our 2005 Plan to provide that the Compensation Committee may make retroactive adjustments to any performance based award (cash or equity-based) made under the plan to Named Executive Officers and other designated executives where the payment was predicated upon the achievement of specified financial results that were the subject of a subsequent restatement.  Where applicable, the Compensation Committee will seek to recover any amount determined to have been inappropriately received by the individual executive officer.

 Amendments to Certain Executive Employment Agreements.  On March 15, 2013 (the “Amendment Date”), we entered into amendments to the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreements with each of Messrs. Romm and Goldstein and Ms. Hunter, and an amendment to the Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Taylor

(collectively, the “Executive Amendments”).  Prior to the Executive Amendments, in the event of a change in control in which the consideration that was paid was solely cash, all options and restricted stock units held by the executive would accelerate and vest in full, and all options would become exercisable immediately prior to such change in control, regardless of the executive’s continued employment status.

Under the Executive Amendments, any options or RSUs granted to the executive after the Amendment Date will, in the event of termination of the executive’s employment for good reason following a change in control, vest in full and all such options will become immediately exercisable.  With respect to options granted to an executive prior to the Amendment Date (“Current Options”), such options will continue to vest in full and become exercisable in the event of a change in control in which the consideration that is paid is solely cash, regardless of the executive’s continued employment status.  In the event of a change in control in which the consideration paid is stock or a combination of stock and cash, the Current Options will continue to be governed by the terms of the existing agreements for such options, provided, however, that if the executive’s employment is terminated following the change of control for good reason, then such Current Options will vest in full and become immediately exercisable on the date of termination.

Report of the Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management.  Based on these reviews and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2012 be included in this Amendment.

Employment Agreements and Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control
   
Hummel Employment Agreement
 
Effective April 21, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and Mr. Hummel, entered into an Executive Employment Agreement for a term of three years.  Under the agreement, Mr. Hummel is entitled to an annual base salary of $500,000, subject to annual cost of living increases or such greater increase as may be approved by the Board.  In May 2012, the Compensation Committee approved a three percent (3%) increase in Mr. Hummel’s annual base salary, which is now $515,000, as discussed in greater detail above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Base Salary.”  In addition, he is entitled to participate in any incentive compensation plans that the Compensation Committee of the Board may establish, including the 2012 Plan adopted and approved in May 2012. Under the 2012 Plan, Mr. Hummel’s target bonus, assuming achievement by the company of 100% of each of the performance goals, is 75% of his annual base salary.
 
On the Effective Date, the Compensation Committee also granted Mr. Hummel an option to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock, with an exercise price per share of $12.55, the closing selling price per share of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant. The option will vest and become exercisable with respect to 33.33% of the underlying shares per annum upon Mr. Hummel’s completion of each year of service with the company following the Effective Date.
 
Additionally, on the Effective Date the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Hummel 50,000 restricted stock units to acquire an equal number of shares of our common stock with no cash payment on his part other than applicable income and employment taxes. The restricted stock units will vest in full upon the second anniversary of the Effective Date.
 
Either Mr. Hummel or we may terminate his employment at any time. If Mr. Hummel is terminated for cause or terminates his own employment, he will be entitled to no severance.  If Mr. Hummel is terminated without cause, he will be entitled to 12 months’ severance.  In addition he will be entitled to continuation of all benefits made generally available to all executives (including continuation of coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”)) for 12 months, and will have a period of 12 months to exercise any options that were vested on the date of termination. In the event Mr. Hummel’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, he will not be entitled to severance, but will have a period of 12 months to exercise any options that were vested on the date of termination. The term “cause” is defined as including when an executive: (i) exhibits willful misconduct or dishonesty which materially and adversely effects the business reputation of the executive or the company; (ii) is convicted of a felony; (iii) acts (or fails to act) in the performance of his duties to the company in bad (good) faith and to our detriment; (iv) materially breaches the amended and restated employment agreement or any other agreement with the company, which if curable, is not cured to our reasonable satisfaction within thirty days of written notice thereof; or (v) engages in misconduct that is demonstrably and materially injurious to the company, including, without limitation, willful and material failure to perform his duties as an officer or executive of the company or excessive absenteeism unrelated to illness or vacation. 
 
If Mr. Hummel’s employment is terminated for good reason, then he will be entitled to 12 months’ severance and continuation of all benefits made generally available to all executives (including continuation of COBRA) for 12 months.  In addition, in the event of a change in control, all options and RSUs held by Mr. Hummel will vest in full, and all options will become exercisable immediately prior to such change in control, regardless of his continued employment status. The term “good reason” is defined as, following a change of control:  (i) the company (including any successor in interest) terminates Mr. Hummel’s employment at any time within the one year anniversary of such change of control, for reasons other than for cause, death or disability; (ii) Mr. Hummel voluntarily terminates his employment within six months of the company's (or any successor in interest)  material reduction in his level of responsibility; or (iii) Mr. Hummel terminates his employment within six months of the company’s (or any successor in interest) material reduction of his base salary, except for any salary reduction that is generally applicable to the company’s (or any successor in interest) executives; provided that in the case of (ii) and (iii) above, “good reason” shall only be found to exist if prior to the his  resignation for good reason, the executive has provided thirty days written notice to us (or any successor in interest) within ninety days following the existence of such good reason event indicating and describing the event resulting in such good reason, and the company (or any successor in interest) does not cure such event within ninety days following the receipt of such notice from Mr. Hummel. In the
 
 
21

 
 
event the company (or any successor in interest) fails to timely cure, Mr. Hummel may resign upon expiration of the cure period. 

Mr. Hummel is also subject to a confidentiality covenant and a covenant not to solicit any employee to leave the company’s (or any successor in interest) employ during the term of any severance period following the date of termination.  Any severance payment is conditioned upon execution by Mr. Hummel of a release in form and substance satisfactory to us.

Employment Agreements with Other Executive Officers
 
On June 15, 2009, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with the following Named Executive Officers:  Messrs. Romm and Goldstein and Ms. Hunter. Mr. Goldstein’s agreement was further amended in April 2011.  In addition, on August 16, 2012 we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Taylor, upon his appointment as our Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Investor Relations. Under these agreements, Mr. Romm, Mr. Goldstein, Ms. Hunter and Mr. Taylor are entitled to annual base salaries of $320,000, $295,360, $260,000 and $270,000, respectively, subject to annual cost of living increases or such greater increases as may be approved by the Board.  In May 2012, the Compensation Committee approved increases to the annual base salaries of those Named Executive Officers then in office, Messrs. Romm and Goldstein and Ms. Hunter, whose annual base salaries are now $335,000, $310,000 and $275,000, respectively, as discussed in greater detail above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Elements of Compensation—Base Salary.”

In addition, Mr. Romm is entitled to an annual bonus of up to 60% of his base salary, and Mr. Goldstein, Ms. Hunter and Mr. Taylor are entitled to annual bonuses of up to 50% of their respective base salaries, all subject to achievement of certain corporate and individual targets.
 
Under each of these agreements, either we or the executive may terminate the executive’s employment at any time. If the executive is terminated for cause or terminates his or her own employment, the executive will be entitled to no severance.  If the executive is terminated without cause, the executive will be entitled to the following severance: each of Mr. Romm and Mr. Goldstein, 12 months’ severance, and each of Ms. Hunter and Mr. Taylor, six months’ severance. In addition each executive will be entitled to continuation of all benefits made generally available to all executives (including continuation of COBRA) for 12 months, in the case of Mr. Romm and Mr. Goldstein, and six months, in the case of Ms. Hunter and Mr. Taylor, and will have a period of 12 months to exercise any options that were vested on the executive’s date of termination. In the event the executive’s employment terminates by reason of death or disability, the executive will not be entitled to severance, but will have a period of 12 months to exercise any options that were vested on the executive’s date of termination.  The term “cause” has the same definition as set forth in Mr. Hummel’s agreement.
 
If the executive’s employment is terminated for good reason, then the executive will be entitled to 12 months’ severance and continuation of all benefits made generally available to all executives (including continuation of COBRA) for 12 months.  In addition, in the event of a change in control in which the consideration that is paid is solely cash, all options and restricted stock units held by the executive will vest in full, and all options will become exercisable immediately prior to such change in control, regardless of the executive’s continued employment status. Should any of the severance benefits constitute a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Code, the amount of the severance benefits shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary to ensure that the severance benefits do not exceed the amount determined pursuant to Section 280G of the Code.  The term “good reason” has the same definition as set forth in Mr. Hummel’s agreement. Each executive is also subject to a confidentiality covenant and a covenant not to solicit any employee to leave the company’s (or any successor in interest) employ during the term of any severance period following the date of termination.  Any severance payment is conditioned upon execution by the executive of a release in form and substance satisfactory to us.
 
On March 15, 2013, we entered into amendments to the Amended and Restated Executive Employment Agreements with each of Messrs. Romm and Goldstein and Ms. Hunter, and an amendment to the Executive Employment Agreement with Mr. Taylor.  Under these Executive Amendments, any options or RSUs granted to the executive after the Amendment Date will, in the event of termination of the executive’s employment for good reason following a change in control, vest in full and all such options will become immediately exercisable.  With respect to options granted to an executive prior to the Amendment Date, such options will continue to vest in full and become
 
 
22

 
 
exercisable in the event of a change in control in which the consideration that is paid is solely cash, regardless of the executive’s continued employment status.  In the event of a change in control in which the consideration paid is stock or a combination of stock and cash, the Current Options will continue to be governed by the terms of the existing agreements for such options, provided, however, that if the executive’s employment is terminated for good reason, then such Current Options will vest in full and become immediately exercisable on the date of termination. Finally, under the Executive Amendments the term “good reason” was expanded to include termination following a change in control by the executive within six months of the company's (or any successor in interest) change in the geographic location at which executive must provide services by 50 miles or more.
 
 
Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control
 
The following table presents our reasonable estimate of benefits payable to each of our Named Executive Officers assuming that each of the following events occurred on December 31, 2012: (i) a change in control in which the consideration is solely cash and the termination of the executive’s employment for good reason in connection therewith (a “Cash CIC”); (ii) a change in control in which the consideration is other than solely cash and the surviving corporation assumes all of our outstanding options, and the termination of the executive’s employment for good reason in connection therewith (a “Non-Cash CIC”); (iii) termination of executive’s employment without cause in the absence of a change in control; and (iv)  termination of executive’s employment by reason of death or disability:

(1)   Represents the aggregate value of the accelerated vesting of the Named Executive Officers’ unvested stock options and, if applicable, RSUs. The amounts shown as the value of the accelerated stock options in connection with a change in control and for termination without cause are based solely on the intrinsic value of the options as of December 31, 2012. The intrinsic value was calculated by multiplying (i) the amount by which the fair market value of our common stock December 31, 2012 ($13.59 per share) exceeded the applicable exercise price by (ii) the assumed number of in-the-money option shares vesting on an accelerated basis as of December 31, 2012.

 While we believe that the amounts shown above and the assumptions upon which they are based provide reasonable estimates of the amounts that would have been due to the Named Executive Officers in the event that any of the circumstances described above had occurred on December 31, 2012, the actual amounts due to the Named Executive Officers upon a triggering event will depend upon the actual circumstances and the then applicable provisions of the 2005 Plan and their employment agreements. Each executive would also be entitled to any gain attributable to his or her already-vested equity awards.  
 
Compensation of Non-Employee Directors
 
Our Board believes that providing competitive compensation is necessary to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors. The key elements of director compensation are a cash retainer, committee chair fees, meeting fees and equity-based grants. It is our Board’s practice to provide a mix of cash and equity-based compensation that it believes aligns the interests of our Board and our stockholders.
 
From January 1, 2012 through July 30, 2012, non-employee members of the Board received annual retainers of $30,000, payable in four quarterly installments. The chair of our Audit Committee, Mr. Grant, received an additional annual retainer of $10,000 and the chair of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Mr. Badie, and the chair of our Compensation Committee, Mr. Duerden, each received an additional annual retainer of $5,000. In addition, all non-employee members of the Board received $1,500 for each Board meeting attended in person and $500 for each Board meeting attended via telephone. Each member of the committees of our Board received $500 for each committee meeting attended in person or via telephone. Any new non-employee director who had not been in our prior employ would receive an initial grant of restricted stock with a fair market value of $30,000 on the date such individual joined the Board. In addition, each non-employee director received an annual grant of restricted stock with a fair market value of $30,000 at the time of each annual meeting of stockholders.  Such shares would vest on the one year anniversary of each date of grant.

On July 30, 2012 (the “Adoption Date”), the Compensation Committee, after consultation with its independent compensation consultant, amended the compensation plan for non-employee directors to better align the compensation paid to non-employee directors with current competitive market practices.  The provisions of the revised plan are intended to be in the middle of the range of peer group compensation to enable us to attract new qualified Board members.  The Committee’s independent consultant conducted a study of non-employee director compensation among our peer group of 18 companies that reflect our annual revenue, market capitalization, and number of employees, among which we are positioned at or near the peer group median. This is the same peer group we used for evaluation of our executive compensation program in 2012. Our non-employee director compensation plan had not been updated since our initial public offering in 2006 and was found to be significantly below competitive norms. Under the amended plan, the total compensation received by non-employee directors will approximate the market median from the study. 
   
Under the amended plan, annual cash retainers for non-employee directors were increased to $35,000. Additional annual retainers for chairs of committees of the Board were also increased as follows: (i) the chair of the Audit Committee now receives $15,000; (ii) the chair of the Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each receives $10,000; and (iii) the Chairman of the Board, who did not previously receive an additional annual retainer, receives $30,000.  Non-employee Board members continue to receive $1,500 for each Board meeting attended in person and $500 for each telephonic meeting.  Each member of a committee of the Board also receives $1,000 per in person meeting, and continues to receive $500 for each telephonic meeting.  Any new non-employee director who is appointed to the Board after the Adoption Date will receive an initial grant of restricted stock with a fair market value of $75,000 on the date such individual joins the Board.  Non-employee directors will also receive an annual grant of restricted stock having a fair market value of $75,000 at the time of each annual meeting of stockholders. Such shares will vest on the one year anniversary of each date of grant.

From time to time our Board may form special committees to advise the Board regarding specific events or transactions.  In such cases, the members of these committees may also receive cash retainers and meeting fees for their service on such committees.  In November 2012, the Board formed a Financial Advisor Selection Committee, consisting of Messrs. Fitzgibbons (chair), Badie, Grant and Hummel, to assist in overseeing the selection of a
 
 
24

 
 
financial advisor for the Board.  Members of this committee receive per meeting fees of $1,000 per each meeting attended in person and $500 for each telephonic meeting.
  
The following table summarizes the cash compensation we paid to the members of the Board of Directors who are not employed by us during the year ended December 31, 2012, as well as the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted to our non-employee directors in 2012.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Badie, Duerden, Fitzgibbons and Grant served on the Compensation Committee during the year ended December 31, 2012. During such service, none of these directors were, or had ever been, an officer or employee of Obagi or any of our subsidiaries.  In addition, none of these directors had any relationship requiring disclosure by us under Item 404 of Regulation S-K—Certain Relationships and Related Transactions while serving on the Compensation Committee.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, none of our executives served on the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of directors) of any other entity, whose executives also served on our Compensation Committee or Board.  No interlocking relationship exists, or in the past fiscal year existed, between any member of our Compensation Committee and any member of any other company's board of directors or compensation committee.

ITEM 13:    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Other than as described below or elsewhere in this Amendment, since January 1, 2012, there has not been a transaction or series of related transactions to which we were or are a party involving an amount in excess of $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of more than five percent (5%) of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
   
Transactions with Employees and Consultants of Cobrek Pharmaceuticals Inc.
 
 From November 2010 through March 2011, we entered into consulting arrangements with certain individuals affiliated with Cobrek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Cobrek”) to provide consulting services to us.  These individuals include: (i) Cobrek’s Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Quality Assurance; (ii) the Chairman of the board of directors of Cobrek; (iii) a member of the board of directors; and (iv) a senior consultant to Cobrek.  

In addition to the four consultants mentioned above, Mr. Hummel, our President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Board, was also the Chief Executive Officer, a member of the board of directors and a holder of more than 10% of the outstanding stock of Cobrek.  As of December 28, 2012, Cobrek was acquired by Perrigo Company, and since the acquisition, neither Mr. Hummel nor the consultants who provided services to us have any relationship with Cobrek.  As a result, subsequent to December 28, 2012, the consultants previously associated with Cobrek are no longer considered related parties.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded $914,000 and $875,000, respectively, in aggregate fees and related expenses for consulting services provided by these four consultants.   As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, amounts due to these consultants aggregated to $40,000 and $84,000, respectively.

 Policies and Procedures for Reviewing, Approving or Ratifying Related Party Transactions
 
All future related party transactions must be submitted to the Audit Committee for review, approval or ratification in advance. The Audit Committee shall hold an in-person or telephonic meeting to determine the disposition of each proposed related party transaction.

Director Independence
     
Various rules and regulations require that a majority of our directors meet the criteria for independence set forth under applicable securities laws, including the Exchange Act, applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq. Our Board has reviewed the relationships between us and each Board member (and each such director’s immediate family members).  Based on its review, our Board has affirmatively determined that none of our non-employee directors, Messrs. Fitzgibbons, Badie, Bartholdson, Duerden and Grant and Ms. Leslie, had any relationship with us other than as a director and each was “independent” within the foregoing independence standards as of December 31, 2012 and the date of this Amendment.
 
 Under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules, the existence of certain “related party” transactions above certain thresholds between a director and the company are required to be disclosed and preclude a finding by the Board that the director is independent. In addition to transactions required to be disclosed under SEC rules, the Board is required to consider whether there are other transactions, arrangements or relationships, even if not specifically disclosable under the SEC rules, that might impact a director’s ability to exercise independent judgment on behalf of the company. Our Board has determined that, as of the date of this Amendment, there were no such transactions, arrangements or relationships with respect to any of its non-employee directors.
 
Our Board has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee, respectively, is “independent” under the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq and, with respect to members of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee

requirements of the SEC.  None of the members of these committees is an officer, employee or former employee of ours or any of our subsidiaries.

     (3)  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, all other fees principally included license fees for accounting research tools.
 
As part of its required duties, the Audit Committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence. The Audit Committee has delegated to the chair of the Audit Committee the authority to pre-approve audit-related and non-audit services not prohibited by law to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and associated fees up to a specified amount, provided that the chair shall report any decision to pre-approve such audit-related or non-audit services and fees to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, all services and fees, audit and non-audit related, were approved or ratified by the Audit Committee.
