MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC.
2300 Windy Ridge Parkway, Suite 1000
Atlanta, Georgia 30339
Proxy Statement
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
To Be Held May 20, 2010
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
Shareholders Meeting
This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card (Proxy) are furnished on behalf of the
Board of Directors of Manhattan Associates, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the Company, our or
we), to solicit proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, May
20, 2010, at 9:00 a.m., Atlanta, Georgia time (the Annual Meeting), or at any adjournment or
postponement thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual
Meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held at 2300 Windy Ridge Parkway, Atlanta, Georgia 30339. The
Company intends to mail this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy on or about April 9, 2010,
to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Shareholders Entitled to Vote; Quorum
Only holders of record of the Companys $.01 par value per share common stock (the Common
Stock) at the close of business on March 31, 2010 will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Annual Meeting. At the close of business on March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding and
entitled to vote 22,357,384 shares of Common Stock. Each holder of record of Common Stock on such date
will be entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Annual
Meeting. Any shareholder who signs and returns a Proxy has the power to revoke it at any time
before it is voted at the Annual Meeting by providing written notice of revocation to the Secretary
of the Company, by filing with the Secretary of the Company a Proxy bearing a later date, or by
voting through the Internet or by telephone or in person at the Annual Meeting.
The holders of a majority of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date,
whether present at the Annual Meeting in person, voting through the Internet or telephone or
represented by Proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual
Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes both will be counted toward fulfillment of quorum
requirements. Broker non-votes occur on a matter up for vote when a broker, bank or other holder of
shares you own in street name is not permitted to vote on that particular matter without
instructions from you, you do not give such instructions, and the broker or other nominee indicates
on its proxy card, or otherwise notifies us, that it does not have authority to vote its shares on
that matter. Whether a broker has authority to vote its shares on uninstructed matters is
determined by stock exchange rules.
Counting of Votes
The purpose of the Annual Meeting is to consider and act upon the matters that are listed in
the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and set forth in this Proxy Statement. The enclosed Proxy
and other voting methods described in the Proxy provide a means for a shareholder to vote upon each
of the matters listed in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and described in the Proxy
Statement, including a means for a shareholder to vote for all of the nominees for Director listed
thereon or to withhold authority to vote for one or more of such nominees. The Companys Bylaws
provide
3
that Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes castthat is, the nominees who receive the
most votes for the available directorships will be elected as Directors.
The accompanying Proxy and other voting methods described in the Proxy also provide a means
for a shareholder to vote for, against or abstain from voting on the other matters to be acted upon
at the Annual Meeting. Each Proxy will be voted in accordance with the shareholders directions.
Assuming a quorum is present, ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and
approval of any other matters as may properly come before the meeting requires that the votes cast
in favor of each matter exceed the votes cast against such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes
are not considered votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the results of the vote with
respect to such proposals.
Proxies
When the enclosed Proxy is properly signed and returned, or submitted via Internet or
telephone as described on the Proxy, the shares that it represents will be voted at the Annual
Meeting in accordance with the instructions noted thereon. In the absence of such instructions, the
shares represented by a signed Proxy will be voted in favor of the nominees for election to the
Board of Directors and in favor of ratification of the appointment of our independent registered
public accounting firm.
Proxy Solicitation Costs
The Company will bear the entire cost of soliciting proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting,
including the preparation, printing and mailing of proxy materials. In addition to the solicitation
of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by certain directors, officers and other employees of
the Company by personal interview, telephone, telegram or facsimile. No additional compensation
will be paid to such persons for such solicitation. We have also hired The Proxy Advisory Group,
LLC® to distribute proxies. We will pay The Proxy Advisory Group, LLC® $7,700, plus reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, for these services. The Company will reimburse brokers, banks and other
nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding the proxy materials to their
customers who are beneficial owners.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth the amount and percent of shares of Common Stock that, as of
February 17, 2010, unless a different date is noted below, are deemed under the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC or Commission) to be beneficially owned by (i)

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Introduction
At the Annual Meeting, three directors are to be elected for the terms described below. The
Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of whose members serve for staggered
three-year terms. The Board is currently comprised of two Class I directors (Messrs. Cassidy and
Goodwin), three Class II directors (Messrs. Kight, Raghavan and Sinisgalli) and three Class III
directors (Messrs. Huntz, Lautenbach and Noonan). At each annual meeting of shareholders, a class
of directors will be elected for a three-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose
terms are then expiring. The terms of the Class I directors, Class II directors and Class III
directors will expire upon the election and qualification of successor directors at the 2011, 2012
and 2010 annual meeting of shareholders, respectively. There are no family relationships among any
of the directors or director nominees of the Company.
Shares represented by executed Proxies will be voted, if authority to do so is not withheld,
for the election of the nominees named below. In the event that any nominee should be unavailable
for election as a result of an unexpected occurrence, such shares will be voted for the election of
such substitute nominee as the Board of Directors may select. Each person nominated for election
has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be
unable to serve.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the named nominees.
Nominees
Nominees to Serve as Class III Directors (Term Expires in 2013)
John J. Huntz, Jr., age 59, has served as Chairman of our Board of Directors since April 2003
and has served as a member of our Board of Directors since January 1999. Mr. Huntz also serves as
the Executive Director and the Head of Venture Capital at Arcapita, Inc., a leading international
investment firm. Mr. Huntz has more than 25 years of private equity, venture capital and
operational experience. Prior to joining Arcapita, Mr. Huntz worked from March 1994 through 2005
at the Fuqua companies, most recently as Managing Director of Fuqua Ventures. Mr. Huntz also
served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Fuqua Enterprises, Inc., a NYSE
company. Mr. Huntzs prior experience includes, from September 1989 to January 1994, Managing
Partner of Noble Ventures International, a private equity firm. From 1984 to 1989, Mr. Huntz
provided financial and investment management as Director of Capital Resources for Arthur Young &
Company, and from 1979 until 1984, he was an investment professional at Harrison Capital, a private
equity investment subsidiary of Texaco. Mr. Huntz has served as a member of the Board of Directors
of the National Venture Capital Association and the Securities and Exchange Commissions Small
Business Capital Formation Task Force Executive Committee, and founded and leads the Atlanta
Venture Forum. Mr. Huntz also serves on the Board of Directors of Alloptic Inc., CardioMEMS, Inc.
and Prenova, Inc. In addition, he is a Board member of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, a
Board member and past Chairman of the Georgia Logistics Innovation Council, a member of the
Commission for a New Georgia, member of the Advisory Board of Imperial Innovations (Imperial
College London), the Advisory Board of the MIT Enterprise Forum, the Board of Georgia Advanced
Technology Ventures (Georgia Tech), and Board of the Entrepreneurs Foundation. He also served as
Chairman of the Atlanta Botanical Garden and is past President of the Atlanta Chapter of the
Association for Corporate Growth.
Mr. Huntz has over 25 years of both private and public company operating and leadership
experience, and has served on numerous boards. In addition, he has extensive financial industry
experience through his private equity and venture capital work. We believe Mr. Huntzs extensive
experience; his operational, leadership and finance expertise; and his business and community
prominence make him well suited to be our Chairman. His financial expertise in particular
qualifies him eminently to also chair our Audit Committee, and the Board has determined he is an
audit committee financial expert as defined in SEC rules.
Dan J. Lautenbach, age 64, has served as a member of our Board of Directors since October
2007. He served as Chairman of Witness Systems, Inc., a provider of workforce optimization
software and services, from December 2006, and as
6
a director of that company from 2002, until it was acquired in May 2007. Since December 2001,
Mr. Lautenbach has served as Chairman of DJL Consulting, a sales consulting organization. From May
2002 until March 2003, he served as the Executive Vice President, Worldwide Field Operations, for
Centive Systems, Inc, an enterprise software incentive management system provider. From April 2001
to December 2001, he served as Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Operations for Vignette
Corporation, a provider of content management software and services. Mr. Lautenbach was Vice
President of Worldwide Software Sales for IBM and was General Manager for Software, Europe, Middle
East and Africa, from 1997 to 2001, and prior to that held various management positions with IBM.
Mr. Lautenbach has a history of demonstrated leadership in the software industry, including as
Chairman of the Board of a public software company and as an executive or other officer of other
software companies of differing sizes, including business software companies. Within the industry,
his experience ranges across executive management, sales and consulting roles, bringing valuable
different perspectives to the Board.
Thomas E. Noonan, age 49, has served as a member of our Board of Directors since January 1999.
From November 2006 until February 2008, Mr. Noonan served as the General Manager of IBM Internet
Security Systems, a division of IBM providing information technology system security products and
services. Mr. Noonan served as the President and member of the board of directors of Internet
Security Systems, Inc., since May 1995, and as its Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the
board of directors from November 1996 until its acquisition by IBM in November 2006. Prior to
joining Internet Security Systems, Mr. Noonan served as Vice President, Sales and Marketing with
TSI International, Inc., an electronic commerce company, from October 1994 until April 1995. From
November 1989 until October 1994, Mr. Noonan held high-level sales and marketing positions at Dun &
Bradstreet Software, a developer of enterprise business software.
Mr. Noonan brings many years of experience in senior management in the software industry
including as co-founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of a public software
company. We believe his entrepreneurial, executive management and software industry experience is
an indispensable resource to the Board. His past role as a Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of a public software company also qualifies him well to chair our Compensation Committee,
as we believe it gives him insight into the compensation dynamics of companies like Manhattan
Associates. The Board has determined he is an audit committee financial expert.
Current Directors
The members of the Board of Directors continuing in office as Class I directors, elected to
serve until the 2011 Annual Meeting, are as follows:
Brian J. Cassidy, age 64, has served as a member of our Board of Directors since May 1998.
Mr. Cassidy was the co-founder of Webforia Inc., a developer and supplier of computer software
applications, and served as Webforias Vice Chairman from April 1996 until February 2003. Prior to
forming Webforia, Mr. Cassidy served as Vice President of Business Development of Saros
Corporation, a developer of document management software, from January 1993 until March 1996.
Prior to joining Saros Corporation, Mr. Cassidy was employed by Oracle Corporation, as Joint
Management Director of European Operations and a member of the Executive Management Board from 1983
until 1988 and as Worldwide Vice President of Business Development from 1988 until 1990.
Mr. Cassidy has over 30 years experience in the software industry, much of it with business
software companies. His experience includes organizations of different sizes, and he has served in
co-founder, executive management and development roles. Mr. Cassidy has also invested in, and
assisted in the initial phase of, a number of software companies. We believe Mr. Cassidys
extensive industry knowledge and different industry perspectiveswhether as an entrepreneur with a
new, start-up organization or as a senior executive with a large, mature oneare beneficial for
the Board.

Mr. Goodwin served as Executive Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer of CSX
Corporation. Mr. Goodwin started with
7
CSX Corporation in 1965 and held various senior management positions with entities affiliated
with CSX Corporation. Mr. Goodwin chairs or serves on the investment committees for several
foundations.
Mr. Goodwins long leadership experience at CSX Corporation brings to the Board the
significant business and financial acumen of an experienced senior executive at a Fortune 500
company. We believe his financial expertise makes him an effective member of our Audit Committee,
while his past Vice Chairman role at CSX qualifies him well to serve as chair of our Nominating and
Governance Committee. The Board has determined he is an audit committee financial expert.
The members of the Board of Directors continuing in office as Class II directors, elected to
serve until the 2012 Annual Meeting, are as follows:
Peter J. Kight, age 54, has served as a member of our Board of Directors since October 2007.

Board of Directors Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors currently consists of eight members, all of whom, with the exception of
our President and Chief Executive Officer, have been determined by the Board of Directors to be
independent as that term is defined under the corporate governance rules of The Nasdaq Stock
Market. In making these independence determinations, the Board of Directors considered the
following immaterial relationship: the firm of which Mr. Huntz is Executive Director owns one of
the Companys customers from which the Company derives an immaterial amount of revenue. In
compliance with Nasdaq corporate governance rules, the independent directors of the Company conduct
regularly scheduled meetings without the presence of non-independent directors or management. The
Boards standing independent committees also regularly meet without management present.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Board of Directors held six meetings. All
of the incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate total number of meetings of the
Board of Directors and meetings of committees of the Board of Directors on which they served that
occurred during the portion of fiscal year 2009 during which each served as a director. Our
directors are invited to the annual meeting of shareholders, and two directors attended our 2009
annual meeting.
Director Compensation
The non-employee Chairman of the Board of Directors receives an annual retainer of $150,000,
payable in monthly installments on the first business day of each month. Non-employee members of
the Board of Directors receive an annual retainer of $35,000 payable in quarterly installments on
the first business day of each quarter. All non-employee members of the Board of Directors receive
$1,500 for each board meeting attended and $1,500 for each committee meeting held independently of
a board meeting. In April 2009, the Board elected to reduce its cash compensation payments by 25%
for the remainder of 2009 to partially offset the Companys reduced revenue forecast due to the
economic downturn. In 2009, we granted to each non-employee director stock options to purchase
2,500 shares of Common Stock and 833 shares of Common Stock at the beginning of each quarter during
which they served as a director. All of these options have an exercise price equal to the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, are exercisable immediately and have a term
of seven years, and both option and share grants vest immediately upon grant.
The following table sets forth, for the year ended December 31, 2009, the total compensation
earned for our non-employee members of the Board of Directors.

Board of Directors Committees
The Board of Directors has established three permanent committees that have certain
responsibilities for our governance and management. They include the Audit Committee, the
Compensation Committee and the Nomination and Governance Committee. The Board has adopted charters
for the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nomination and Governance Committee which can
be found in the Investor Relations section of our web site at www.manh.com.
Audit Committee. During 2009, the Audit Committee consisted of Messrs. Huntz, Goodwin,
Lautenbach and Noonan. Mr. Huntz serves as Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board of
Directors has determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence and
experience requirements applicable to members of the Audit Committee of a Nasdaq-traded company, as
well as the Audit Committee independence standards established by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC). Further, the Board has determined that Messrs. Huntz, Goodwin and Noonan
are audit committee financial experts, as defined by the rules of the SEC. Among other
responsibilities, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board the selection and discharge of our
independent registered public accounting firm, reviews the scope of the audit to be conducted by
them, as well as the results of their audit, and reviews our internal controls and financial
statements. The Audit Committee also reviews and discusses with management and our independent
registered public accounting firm major financial risk exposure and steps management has taken to
monitor and control such exposure. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the Audit
Committee met four times.
Compensation Committee. During 2009, the Compensation Committee consisted of Messrs. Noonan,
Cassidy, Huntz and Kight. Mr. Noonan serves as Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Board
of Directors has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee meet the independence
requirements of the Nasdaq corporate governance rules. The Compensation Committee approves the
compensation of all of our executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, reviews
compensation plans of all directors, officers and other key executives and makes recommendations
concerning these matters to the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee also administers
our equity incentive programs and establishes the terms and conditions of all stock and stock
options granted under these plans. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, the
Compensation Committee met five times.
Nominating and Governance Committee. During 2009, the Nominating and Governance Committee
(the Nominating Committee) consisted of Messrs. Goodwin, Cassidy and Raghavan. Mr. Goodwin
serves as Chairman of the Nominating Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that all
members of the Nominating Committee meet the independence requirements of the Nasdaq corporate
governance rules. The Nominating Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to identify and
assist in recruiting outstanding individuals who qualify to serve as Board members and to recommend
that the Board select a slate of director nominees for election by our shareholders at each annual
meeting of our shareholders in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and Georgia
law; to recommend directors for appointment to each Board committee; to review the performance of
the Board and its committees and make appropriate recommendations; and to oversee our corporate
governance guidelines and periodically re-evaluate such corporate governance guidelines for the purpose of suggesting changes if appropriate. During the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2009, the Nominating Committee met four times.
10
In accordance with the provisions of our Bylaws, shareholders may directly nominate
prospective director candidates by delivering to our Corporate Secretary certain information about
the nominee not less than 60 days prior to the meeting as originally scheduled, or if less than 70
days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made,
delivery of notice to the Company not later than the tenth day following the earlier of the day on
which notice of the date of the meeting is mailed to shareholders or public disclosure of the date
of such meeting is made. The Nominating Committee has not adopted a formal policy with regard to
consideration of any director candidate nominated by shareholders for inclusion in the Boards
slate. The Nominating Committee believes that such a policy is not necessary or appropriate
because of the shareholders ability to directly nominate director candidates for the Board.
In identifying qualified individuals to become members of the Board of Directors, the
Nominating Committee selects candidates whose attributes it believes would be most beneficial to
the Company. The Nominating Committee evaluates each individuals experience, integrity,
competence, diversity (including occupational, geographic, and age diversity), skills and
dedication in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors. The Committee generally
identifies director nominees through the personal, business and organizational contacts of existing
directors and management. However, the Committee may use a variety of sources to identify director
nominees, including third-party search firms, counsel, advisors and shareholder recommendations.
The composition of the current Board of Directors reflects diversity in business and professional
experience and skills.
Board Leadership Structure
Our bylaws allow, but do not require, our Board of Directors to appoint an officer or a
non-executive Chairman of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has chosen to separate
the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Currently, John J. Huntz, Jr.,
a non-employee independent director, serves as Chairman of the Board and Peter F. Sinisgalli serves
as our President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe separating these positions allows our
Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairman of the
Board to lead our Board of Directors in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent
oversight of management. Our Board of Directors recognizes the time, effort and energy that the
Chief Executive Officer is required to devote to his position in the current business environment,
as well as the commitment required to serve as our Chairman, particularly as our Board of
Directors oversight responsibilities continue to grow. Although we do not have a policy mandating
the separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our Board of Directors
believes that having separate positions and having an independent outside director serve as
Chairman is the appropriate leadership structure for Manhattan Associates.
Code of Ethics
Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to
all members of our Board of Directors, our executive officers and our employees. We have posted
the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics policy in the Investor Relations section of our web site at
www.manh.com. If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision in the Code of Business
Conduct and Ethics, we may, rather than file a Form 8-K, satisfy the disclosure requirement under
Item 5.05 of Form 8-K by posting such information on our web site as necessary.
Risk Management
While we believe that risk management is the responsibility of every employee, senior
management is ultimately accountable to our Board of Directors and shareholders for risk
management. Senior management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while
our Board of Directors, as a whole and through its committees, oversees planning and responding to
risks arising from changing business conditions or the initiation of new activities or products.
Our Board of Directors also is responsible for overseeing compliance with laws and regulations,
responding to recommendations from auditors and supervisory authorities, and overseeing
managements conformance with internal policies and controls addressing the operations and risks of
significant activities.
Our Board of Directors believes that full and open communication between management and our
Board of Directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our Board of
Directors receives regular reports from members of senior management on areas of material risk to Manhattan Associates, including operational,
financial, legal and regulatory, strategic, competitive and reputational risks. Additionally,
senior management is available to address any questions or concerns raised by our Board of
Directors on risk management-related and any other matters.
11
While our Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at Manhattan
Associates, our three Board committees assist our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight
responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The Audit Committee assists our Board of Directors in
fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of financial
reporting, internal controls and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and discusses
policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Compensation Committee assists
our Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management
of risks arising from our compensation policies and programs. The Nominating Committee assists our
Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of
risks associated with Board organization, membership and structure, succession planning for our
directors and executive officers, and corporate governance.

In addition to Peter F. Sinisgalli, the following individuals serve as our executive officers

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Executive Summary
The Companys executive compensation program is comprised primarily of base salary, short-term
cash incentives for achieving financial and operating results, and long-term equity-based
incentives for increasing shareholder value over time. The objective of Manhattans compensation
plan is to be highly performance-oriented, transparent in design, and to minimize exceptions and
perquisites.
12
The continued deterioration of the U.S. and global economy, and the uncertainty that this
creates for business planning purposes, impacted executive compensation decisions for 2009. In
January 2009, management recommended and the Committee approved the annual grant of stock options
and restricted shares at the same number of shares as the prior year, even though the grant date
value of these awards was 40% lower than the prior year. In February 2009 management recommended
and the Compensation Committee approved no increases in base salary for any of the Companys named
executive officers. The Company also set, and the Compensation Committee approved, what were
believed to be reasonably difficult performance goals for purposes of determining any 2009
short-term cash incentives.
However, through the first half of 2009, it became apparent that the global economic recession
and its impact on the Company was going to be more severe and enduring than originally anticipated.
In April 2009, the Company committed to expense reduction initiatives to ensure long-term success,
including a reduction to executive base salaries of between 10% and 25%. In June 2009, the
Compensation Committee approved a supplemental bonus plan to restore near term performance and
retention incentives given that the previously established performance targets under the annual
cash incentive plan for 2009 were believed to be unattainable. Target award opportunities under
the supplemental bonus plan were 50% of the target award opportunities under the original annual
cash incentive plan, with no payout opportunity above target. Ultimately there were no payouts for
2009 performance under the original annual cash incentive plan for the named executive officers
(other than Mr. Mitchell, who earned 30% of his Americas recognizable license revenue target award
opportunity.) However, there were payouts under the supplemental bonus plan equal to 40% of the
reduced target award opportunities under the supplemental plan. Overall, the Compensation
Committee believes that the resulting total payouts between 20% and 25% of the target award
opportunities established at the beginning of the year was reasonable given the Companys
performance.
In January 2010, management recommended and the Compensation Committee approved increases in
base salary for all of the Companys named executive officers in accordance with the Companys
normal annual salary increase process. The Company has also set, and the Compensation Committee
has approved, what are believed to be reasonably difficult performance goals for purposes of
determining any 2010 short-term cash incentives. In January 2010, the Compensation Committee
approved certain changes to the Companys historical equity incentive grant practices, with the
objective to optimize its performance and retention strength while managing program share usage to
improve long-term equity overhang. The changes eliminate stock option awards in favor of 100%
restricted stock grants, which for the 2010 awards contain vesting provisions that are 50%
service-based and 50% performance-based. The awards have a four year vesting period, with the
performance portion tied to annual revenue and adjusted earnings per share targets. Overall, the
Compensation Committee believes that these actions are responsible and appropriate given the
relevant facts and circumstances, and that the 2010 executive compensation program will remain
effective in terms of attracting, retaining and motivating the talented individuals necessary to
successfully execute the Companys near term business plan while also focusing on long-term
shareholder value creation.
Determining Executive Compensation
The Role of the Compensation Committee
The Committee is responsible for establishing compensation levels for the executive officers
of the Company, including the annual bonus plan for executive officers and for administering the
Companys Stock Incentive Plan. The Committee is currently comprised of four non-employee
directors: Messrs. Noonan (Chairman), Cassidy, Huntz and Kight. The Committees overall objective
is to establish a compensation policy that will (i) attract, retain and reward executives who
contribute to achieving the Companys business objectives; (ii) motivate executives to obtain these
objectives; and (iii) align the interests of executives with those of the Companys long-term
investors.
The Role of Independent Consultants
The Compensation Committee has the authority to hire compensation consultants and other
advisors it believes are necessary and appropriate to fulfill its principle duties. In 2008 and
2009, the Compensation Committee hired Pearl Meyer & Partners (PMP) as its independent consultant.
PMP reports to and is directed by the Compensation Committee, and provides no other services to the Company. In general, PMP is directed by the Committee to provide
periodic updates on market trends and developments, provide relevant and credible market data for
assessing pay competitiveness, evaluate the design of our pay programs to ensure strategic,
performance, and competitive alignment, and to participate in Committee meetings where substantive
executive compensation decisions are being made.
13
The Role of Senior Management
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) generally makes recommendations to the Compensation
Committee for compensation adjustments for the named executive officers other than himself. The
Chief Financial Officer and Head of Human Resources provide support to the CEO with respect to
data, analysis, and advice in formulating specific recommendations. The General Counsel generally
attends Compensation Committee meetings, prepares meeting minutes and resolutions, and is available
for legal counsel as required.
The Role of Peer Groups and Survey Data
The Compensation Committee does consider pay information from other companies when making pay
determinations for the Companys executives, including the named executive officers. However, this
is only one of many factors considered by the Compensation Committee when making pay
determinations, and the Compensation Committee does not benchmark or target a precise percentile or
pay level relative to this information. Instead, the Compensation Committee uses this information
as a general guide to determine if the Companys executive compensation levels in aggregate and by
component are within a reasonable range of other similar companies.
The precise nature of our peer comparison activities varies each year based on the needs of
the Company and the Committee in making pay determinations. Generally, the Companys peer
comparison activities include a review of both peer group and survey data. For purposes of
determining 2009 compensation, the peer group was comprised of the following companies:

Prior to setting the 2009 compensation strategy for executives and the Company, the
Compensation Committee as a normal part of its compensation diligence requested certain data from
the Company in connection with its compensation analysis. In addition, the Compensation Committee
engaged PMP to provide advice regarding (a) 2009 compensation adjustments, including salary, bonus
targets, and equity grants, and (b) advice on its proposal to amend the Companys stock incentive
plan. With regard to 2009 compensation adjustments, PMP reviewed (a) the market analysis prepared
by management, and (b) supplemented that analysis with additional market data for salary increase
budgets, historical pay and performance alignment, and long-term incentive grant practices. With
regard to the Companys proposal to amend the Companys stock incentive plan, PMP reviewed (a) the
Companys equity overhang and historical grant rate relative to its peers, (b) evaluated key
parameters within which institutional shareholders and advisors tend to support new share requests
(i.e. RiskMetrics Group and Glass Lewis), and (c) evaluated the new share parameters and their
impact on the organization.
The Compensation Committee considered these analyses, including comparisons of the Companys
pay levels to the peer group and survey data for each element of compensation and in total. The
survey data incorporated into the comparisons was obtained from the Presidio Pay Advisors Executive
Compensation Study. The Committee also considered survey data from Mercer Consulting, Towers
Watson, Culpepper and Associates and Radford as well as information obtained directly from proxy
statements of similarly situated public companies. Both the peer group and survey data included in
the comparisons included companies that were comparable with respect to revenue level, industry
segment and competitive employment market to the Company. This information was considered by the
Compensation Committee along with other relevant information, such as the performance of the
Company and of each executive. Recommendations were also presented to the Compensation Committee
by the CEO. (No other executive officer has direct input to the Compensation Committee regarding
the compensation of the named executive officers.)

The Role of Economic Conditions and Market Developments
While the market benchmarks for 2009 compensation planning were generally reliable, the rapid
deterioration of economic conditions in the U.S. and globally in the second half of 2008 resulted
in many companies revisiting and adjusting compensation increases for 2009. The Company was not
immune to the impacts of a rapid macro-economic deceleration as our second half of 2008 started to
show signs of deceleration. The timing of closing software transactions was impacted and software
sales cycles lengthened, which in turn affected our revenue and earnings per share. In the first
half of 2008, our consolidated license revenue increased 1% compared to 2007, whereas there was a
15% growth in the first half of 2007 compared to 2006. In the second half of 2008, license revenue
decreased 23% compared to the second half of 2007. With these macro-economic challenges, we
revised our revenue outlook based on demand and in October 2008 executed a workforce reduction to
align capacity with our demand outlook.
Based on the lack of forecast visibility and economic uncertainty, the CEO recommended and the
Compensation Committee approved no salary increases for any non-promoted employees globally for
2009 including the Companys named executive officers. The CEO also proposed and the
Compensation Committee approved grants of stock options and restricted stock at the same grant
level as the prior year. By maintaining a constant grant level, the grant value of the awards to
participants was approximately 40% less than the prior year grant value (using the stock price for
restricted stock and a Black-Scholes option value for stock options). Although this may have
reduced our competitive positioning, the CEO and the Compensation Committee focused primarily on
appropriate share usage and performance alignment, especially given concerns that market pay data
could not keep up with changing market practices in light of the rapid and significant reduction in
stock prices.
With continued contraction of the global economy in the first quarter of 2009, we further
revised our revenue and earnings expectations. In April 2009, we committed to further cost
reductions to align capacity with demand eliminating approximately 140 positions primarily in the
United States. As part of our cost reduction initiative, to preserve short-term excess capacity to
meet potential customer demand returning within twelve months, with the approval of the
Compensation Committee as needed, the Company took the following four actions through December 31,
2009: (1) reduced fees paid to the Board of Directors 25% and salaried compensation 25% for the
CEO and 10% for the CEOs direct reports, (2) introduced a furlough program in the U.S. requiring
all associates to take eight unpaid vacation days over the balance of 2009, (3) suspended our
401(k) matching contribution, and (4) implemented a number of other cost reduction initiatives.
Principle Elements of Executive Compensation
The Company compensates executive officers with a combination of salary and incentives
designed to focus their efforts on maximizing both the near-term and long-term financial
performance of the Company. In addition, the Companys compensation program rewards individual
performance that furthers Company goals. The executive compensation program includes the
following: (i) base salary; (ii) incentive bonuses; (iii) long-term equity incentive awards in the
form of stock and stock option grants; and (iv) other benefits. Each executive officers
compensation package is designed to provide an appropriately weighted mix of these elements, which
the Company believes cumulatively provide a level of compensation roughly equivalent to that paid
by companies of similar size and complexity. As described previously, for 2009 the incentive bonus
component consisted of both a regular annual cash incentive plan, pursuant to which there were no
payouts for the named executive officers, other than Mr. Mitchell, and a supplemental plan, under
which all named executives received a payout equal to 40% of target award opportunities.
Base Salary. Minimum salaries for the named executive officers, other than the Chief Legal
Officer, are established in their employment agreements with the Company. The salaries of the
named executive officers are reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee for adjustment. When
establishing base salaries of our executive officers for 2009, the Compensation Committee
considered survey data and salaries within the peer group, as well as a variety of other factors,
including the global macro-economic conditions, market developments, the Companys past financial
performance and future expected performance, the performance of the executives, changes in the
executives responsibilities, the CEOs recommendations and cost-of-living and other local geographic considerations in determining
base salary, where applicable. Generally, we believe that our executives base salaries should be
targeted near the median of the range of base salaries for executives in similar positions at
comparable companies. The Company does not however tie salaries to the achievement of specific
financial performance objectives, as significant portions of the named executive officers total
compensationi.e., bonuses and equity compensationare already based on such objectives.
15
While the Compensation Committee considered all of the competitive market compensation
benchmarks, based on the lack of forecast visibility and economic uncertainty, the CEO recommended
and the Compensation Committee approved no salary increases in 2009 for any non-promoted employees
globally including the Companys named executive officers.
The actual base salaries paid to the named executive officers in 2009 are disclosed in the
Summary Compensation Table.
Annual Cash Incentive Plan. The purpose of the Companys short-term incentive plan (its
annual cash incentive plan) is to correlate incentive bonuses with the achievement of annual
corporate performance. For all named executive officers other than Mr. Mitchell, the short-term
incentive opportunity for 2009 was based solely on corporate performance with regard to
consolidated revenue and adjusted earnings per share (adjusted EPS). In 2009, Mr. Mitchells
short-term incentive opportunity was based both on corporate performance with regard to
consolidated revenue and adjusted EPS and on the Americas region recognizable license revenue.
Consolidated revenue is a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial figure shown on
the Companys income statement. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial figure and is the Companys
earnings per share after excluding amortization of intangible assets, stock-based compensation
expenses, restructuring charges, asset impairment charges, sales tax recoveries, and unusual tax
adjustments. Americas recognizable license revenue is a GAAP financial figure shown in Note 8,
Reporting Segments of the Companys Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Companys
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, when the Company establishes its
annual budget, it does not plan for common stock repurchases. As a result, the earnings per share
benefit from common stock repurchases, if applicable, is eliminated from the calculation of the
adjusted EPS portion of annual incentives. These definitions were developed to reflect the
underlying operating variables while attempting to minimize any unintended consequences. The annual
cash incentive plan excludes hardware and other revenue from the annual cash incentive plan targets
to better align our revenue and adjusted EPS growth objectives.
The Companys management uses non-GAAP measures to manage the business and evaluate its
performance. Management believes adjusted EPS results are useful to investors in evaluating the
Companys operating performance on a comparable basis to other software companies. Our management
uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate our financial results, develop budgets and manage
expenditures. Before any payouts are made under the bonus plan based on the achievement of Company
metrics, the Compensation Committee reviews the results to confirm that the Company metrics have
been achieved and the bonus payout percentages have been calculated according to the Companys
annual cash incentive plan.
Consolidated revenue and adjusted EPS were weighted equally in the calculation of incentive
bonuses to the named executive officers for 2009, except with respect to Mr. Mitchell. Half of Mr.
Mitchells bonus was based on the Companys consolidated revenue and adjusted EPS (with each
measure weighted 25%) and the other half was based on Americas recognizable license revenue due to
his responsibility for overall license revenues as Executive Vice President, Americas Operations.
Individual performance was not a factor in the determination of these incentive bonuses.
Individual performance was intentionally excluded from the incentive bonus formula for named
executive officers in order to focus and reward the team for collectively achieving the Companys
objectives. The Committee believes that the combination of consolidated revenue, adjusted EPS, and
Americas recognizable license revenue creates the proper balance for motivating and rewarding
profitable growth in the near term that will translate into strong returns for shareholders over
the long-term.
In order for the Companys executive officers to earn their cash incentive compensation, a
minimum percentage of the Companys targeted incentive goal amounts for consolidated revenue and
adjusted EPS, and, in the case of Mr. Mitchell, Americas recognizable license revenue must be
attained. If these performance goals are not fully attained, named executive officers receive less
than their target incentive opportunity. If performance goals are exceeded, executive officers
receive more than their target incentive opportunity in the final quarter of the year, as incentive
payouts for the first three quarters of the year are capped at 100% of target. No cash incentive
bonuses are paid if performance is below a minimum threshold level, and maximum cash incentive
bonuses are capped at 200% of the participants target incentive opportunity. The percentages of
targeted consolidated revenue, adjusted EPS, and, in the case of Mr. Mitchell, Americas
recognizable license revenue achieved were calculated quarterly, and quarterly payouts were made if the achieved
percentages exceeded the respective threshold percentage of both the quarterly prorated and year to
date targeted incentive goals.

Payouts for Americas recognizable license revenue amounts achieved between threshold goal and
target goal and between target goal and maximum goal are calculated on a quarterly basis.
In setting performance goals, the Compensation Committee reviews and evaluates the operating
plan prepared by senior management as part of its annual budgeting process. In approving
performance goals, the Compensation Committee considers the degree of difficulty and probability of
achieving the target performance requirements. The annual incentive plan is designed to
emphasize the creation of shareholder value through growth in consolidated revenue and adjusted EPS
as well as Americas recognizable license revenue. The specific bonus targets were selected so
that the relative difficulty of achieving the 2009 consolidated revenue, adjusted EPS, and
Americas recognizable license revenue targets were consistent with prior year approaches in
setting performance objectives.
As part of the annual budgeting process, senior management prepares an annual budget, which
considers a variety of factors including but not limited to: global economic trends, supply chain
management market information technology investment and growth trends as published by leading
industry analysts, the competitive position of our software products, the level of investment in
product development to maintain sustainable competitive advantage and historical financial
performance. The Companys goal is to extend its position as a leading global supply chain
solutions provider by increasing its revenues faster than its competitors. In connection with
setting the annual incentive plan objectives, the Compensation Committee reviewed senior
managements proposed 2009 budget and the critical assumptions underlying it and, based on the
collective judgment of the Compensation Committee, approved the budgeted targets. For 2009, these
budgeted revenue, adjusted EPS, and Americas recognizable license revenue targets were designated
the target performance requirements for payouts under the annual incentive plan.
17
2009 Supplemental Cash Incentive Plan. Performance targets under the annual cash incentive
plan for 2009 were approved by the Compensation Committee on February 5, 2009. At the time the
performance goals were approved, the magnitude and duration of the economic recession and its
impact on the Company were unknown. However, following the conclusion of first quarter of 2009 and
into second quarter of 2009, during which the Company experienced unprecedented declines in revenue
resulting from persistent global economic weakness, it became apparent to the Company that the
previously approved performance goals for 2009 no longer reflected a reasonable degree of stretch,
but were rather considered to be unattainable.
In order to preserve some component of short-term incentive compensation opportunity for 2009,
the CEO proposed and the Compensation Committee approved the supplemental cash incentive plan in
June 2009. The supplemental plan was intentionally designed to be separate from the annual plan in
order to preserve the integrity of the annual plan. The supplemental plan created a new short-term
incentive opportunity for each participant equal to 50% of their original target opportunity under
the annual plan (which was the portion of the annual plan that was tied to the original adjusted
EPS goal for 2009). Participants could earn between 0% and 100% of these reduced award
opportunities based on achieving performance between a revised threshold and target level adjusted
EPS. There was no additional upside opportunity (beyond target) provided in the supplemental plan.
For the year ending December 31, 2009, the Companys revenue declined by $90.5 million, or
27%, but adjusted operating profits only declined by $11.2 million. Our expense management yielded
an actual adjusted EPS of $0.96. Based on straight-line interpolation between threshold and
target, this yielded payouts at 40% of the target award opportunity under the supplemental plan.
This equates to a payout equal to 20% of the original target award opportunity under the regular
annual plan (i.e. 40% of 50%).
The actual incentive payouts as a percent of target were between 20% to 25% for 2009, 26% to
52% for 2008, and 97% for 2007. The fact that incentive targets have not been fully achieved for
the past three years leads the Committee to believe that performance requirements have been
reasonably set for incentive purposes.
The following table sets forth each named executive officers full year bonus targets, payout
amounts and payout percentages earned in 2009:

Includes annual and supplemental cash incentive plans |
The Compensation Committee retains the right to exercise discretion to either increase or
decrease a participants incentive bonus under the short-term incentive plan. The Compensation
Committee did not exercise this right with regard to incentive bonuses for executive officers in
2008 or 2009.
Discretionary Bonuses. In January 2008, the CEO recommended and the Compensation Committee
reviewed and approved a $10,000 discretionary bonus for Mr. Dabbiere based on the successful
management of the Companys human resources organization during a transition of executive
leadership. Mr. Dabbieres bonus amount was determined based on a level commensurate with his
contribution. In February 2009, the CEO recommended and the Compensation Committee reviewed and
approved a discretionary bonus of $56,250 for Mr. Mitchell based on his additional leadership
efforts in achieving competitive wins in strategic deals greater than $1 million in license revenue
in a difficult selling environment in the second half of 2008 due to rapid decline in the global
macro-economic environment. The bonus award amount was equal to 25% of the maximum amount payable
under Mr. Mitchells 2008 license revenue short-term incentive plan.
18
Equity Incentives. Stock incentives are used by the Company for payment of long-term
compensation to provide a stock-based incentive to improve the Companys financial performance and
to assist in the recruitment, retention and motivation of professional, managerial and other
personnel. Generally, stock incentives are granted to executive officers from time to time based
primarily upon the individuals actual and/or potential contributions to the Company and the
Companys financial performance. Stock incentives are designed to align the interests of the
Companys executive officers with those of its shareholders by encouraging executive officers to
enhance the value of the Company, the price of the Common Stock, and hence, the shareholders
return. In addition, the vesting of stock incentives over a period of time is designed to create
an incentive for the individual to remain with the Company. The Company has historically granted
options and restricted stock to the executives on an ongoing basis to provide continuing incentives
to the executives to meet future performance goals and to remain with the Company, although in
early 2010, the Compensation Committee determined to transition to an all-restricted stock program,
as described in further detail below.
Equity-based compensation is an important and significant component of executive compensation
at the Company. In setting the form and level of equity grants for named executive officers, the
Compensation Committee considers a variety of factors including:
|
|
|
Market competitive levels of total compensation |
|
|
|
|
Market competitive levels of equity-based compensation |
|
|
|
|
The Companys recent performance and trends |
|
|
|
|
The executives recent performance and potential future contribution |
|
|
|
|
The retention strength of previously granted outstanding awards |
|
|
|
|
The resulting annual grant rate from aggregate awards |
|
|
|
|
The resulting availability of shares under shareholder approved equity plans |
|
|
|
|
The resulting cost to the Company |
Through 2009, the Compensation Committee determined that a long-term incentive program that
relied on a blend of 75% stock options and 25% restricted stock was effective due to the following
factors:
|
|
|
More closely reflects competitive market practices |
|
|
|
|
Retains a strong performance orientation and direct shareholder alignment |
|
|
|
|
Improves the retention strength of the program compared to a program that relies 100% on
stock options |
|
|
|
|
Reduces annual share usage (dilution) compared to a program that relies 100% on stock
options, since restricted shares are granted in smaller amounts than options |
|
|
|
|
Better aligns company cost and participant retention |
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, an aggregate of 62,667 shares of restricted
Common Stock and options to purchase 188,000 shares of Common Stock were granted to the Companys
named executive officers. In considering grant levels for named executive officers, other than the
CEO, in 2009, the Compensation Committee established a target award based on its deliberations,
independent reviews, knowledge and consultations and the compensation surveys, as well as the
global macro-economic conditions, market developments, the Companys past financial performance and
future expected performance, the performance of the executives, changes in the executives
responsibilities, the CEOs recommendations and cost-of-living and other local geographic
considerations in determining base salary, where applicable. These grant guidelines are
share-denominated. In approving grant levels for the named executive officers, the Compensation
Committee also reviewed aggregate grant levels for all recipients in order to ensure that the
annual grant rate was within competitive norms and sustainable over time. The Compensation
Committee ultimately approved grants of stock options and restricted stock at the same grant level
as the prior year. By maintaining a constant grant level, the grant value of the awards
to participants was approximately 40% less than the prior year grant value (using the stock price
for restricted stock and a Black-Scholes option value for stock options).
In considering grant levels for the CEO in 2007, the Compensation Committee acted within the
context of negotiating a renewal of his employment contract. Given the CEOs strong leadership and
performance, securing his services for subsequent years was a high priority of the Compensation
Committee and the Board. To assist in developing a competitive and effective employment offer,
including equity-based compensation, the Compensation Committee engaged Mercer Human Resource
Consulting. In consultation with Mercer, the Compensation Committee established equity grant
levels for 2007 that were deemed advisable to secure the CEOs employment through April 12, 2012.
Mr. Sinisgalli
19
continues to be eligible to receive annual long-term incentives at the discretion of
the Compensation Committee in accordance with the factors considered by the Committee for grants to
the named executive officers generally, as described above.
As discussed above, in January 2010, the Compensation Committee approved certain changes to
the Companys historical equity incentive grant practices, with the objective to optimize its
performance and retention strength while managing program share usage to improve long-term equity
overhang. The changes eliminate stock option awards in favor of 100% restricted stock grants, of
which 50% of the awards are service-based and 50% performance-based. The awards have a four year
vesting period for both service and performance based grants, with the performance portion tied to
annual revenue and adjusted earnings per share targets.
The Committee intends to review the form and level of equity grants to named executive
officers in future years relative to the factors cited above. There is no precise formula or
weighting applied to these factors as changing business conditions, competitive market practices
and regulations necessitate differing priorities to maximize effectiveness while minimizing cost
and dilution.
Other Benefits. Benefits offered to the Companys executive officers are provided to serve as
a safety net of protection against the financial catastrophes that can result from illness,
disability or death. Benefits offered to the Companys executive officers are substantially the
same as those offered to all of the Companys regular employees.
The Companys tax-qualified deferred compensation 401(k) Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan)
covers all of the Companys eligible full-time employees. Under the 401(k) Plan, participants may
elect to contribute, through salary reductions, up to 60% of their annual compensation subject to a
maximum of $15,500. Historically, the Company provided additional matching contributions in the
amount of 50% up to the first 6% of salary contributed under the 401(k) Plan. During the second
quarter of 2009, the Company suspended its 401(k) matching contribution for the remainder of 2009
and full year 2010. The 401(k) Plan is designed to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal
Revenue Code so that the contributions by employees or by the Company to the 401(k) Plan, and
income earned on plan contributions, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k)
Plan, and so that contributions by the Company will be deductible by the Company when made.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice PresidentAmericas Operations
The Committee annually reviews the performance and compensation of the CEO, in addition to
each of the other named executive officers, based on its assessment of his past performance and its
expectation of his future contributions to the Companys performance.
The Compensation Committee determined to set compensation levels for the CEO and the Executive
Vice PresidentAmericas Operations higher than the other named executive officers because they had
the potential to make, and did make, the greatest impact on our business and financial results.
The CEO, Mr. Sinisgalli, among other responsibilities, bears the responsibility for ensuring that
the Company is healthy and profitable as a whole. Mr. Mitchell, the Executive Vice
PresidentAmericas Operations, is responsible for all of the Companys Americas revenues, which
generally comprise about 80% of the Companys total revenues and which are crucial to the success
and health of the Company.
For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, Mr. Sinisgallis compensation included a salary
of $383,333 and a cash incentive bonus of $92,000 based on certain financial criteria of the
Company discussed above. The Committee believes the compensation paid to Mr. Sinisgalli and each
of the other named executive officers was reasonable.
Employment Agreements
Mr. Sinisgalli is party to an employment agreement with the Company. In July 2007, the
Compensation Committee approved a modification to Mr. Sinisgallis employment agreement, extending
the term of the original agreement to April 12, 2012. Under the agreement as modified, Mr.
Sinisgalli is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $440,000 (prorated for any year of
partial service) and a performance-related bonus targeted at $450,000 per year based on specific
criteria as stated in his employment agreement. The amount of salary and bonus to be received by
Mr. Sinisgalli may be increased annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors, in regard to
salary, and the Compensation Committee, in regard to bonuses. In 2010, the Company intends to pay
Mr. Sinisgalli a base salary of $474,000 and a target performance-related bonus of $474,000. In
20
2009, Mr. Sinisgalli received options to purchase 60,000 shares of the Companys Common Stock and
20,000 shares of Restricted Stock, which each vest in 16 equal quarterly installments beginning
April 2, 2009. All of the unvested options and restricted shares will vest if after a change in
control, Mr. Sinisgallis employment is terminated other than for cause or constructively
terminated, if such termination or constructive termination occurs within two years of the change
of control. Under the agreement, Mr. Sinisgalli has agreed to assign to the Company all patents,
copyrights and other intellectual property developed by him in the course of his employment. In
addition, Mr. Sinisgalli has agreed not to solicit the Companys customers for a period of one year
following any termination. In the event of termination of his employment other than for cause or
at the expiration of the agreements term, Mr. Sinisgalli is eligible to receive eighteen months of
his then current base salary, including COBRA payments for Mr. Sinisgallis family medical and
dental coverage, and will have 90 days in which to exercise his vested stock options.
Mr. Story is party to an employment agreement with the Company pursuant to which he is
entitled to receive an annual base salary of $255,000, with a performance-related bonus targeted at
$178,500 per year based on specific criteria as stated in his employment agreement. The amount of
salary and bonus to be received by Mr. Story may be increased annually at the discretion of the CEO
or the Board of Directors. In 2009, the Company paid Mr. Story a base salary of $256,667 and a
target performance-related bonus of $39,000. In 2010, the Company intends to pay Mr. Story a base
salary of $300,000 and a performance related bonus targeted at $200,000. In 2009, Mr. Story
received stock option grants to purchase a total of 21,000 shares of Common Stock and 7,000 shares
of Restricted Stock, which each vest in four equal annual installments beginning January 2, 2010.
All of the unvested options and restricted shares will vest if after a change in control,
Mr. Storys employment is terminated other than for cause or constructively terminated, if
such termination or constructive termination occurs within two years of the change in control.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Story has agreed to assign to the Company all patents,
copyrights and other intellectual property developed by him in the course of his employment. Mr.
Story has agreed not to solicit the Companys customers for a period of one year following any
termination. Under his Severance and Non-Competition Agreement, Mr. Story is eligible to receive
twelve months of his then current base salary in the event of termination as defined in the
agreement. In addition to salary payments, Mr. Story is entitled to receive a prorated portion of
the bonus earned through the termination date and one year of COBRA payments for Mr. Storys family
medical and dental coverage. Severance payments are payable in twelve equal monthly installments
from date of termination. Mr. Story will have 90 days in which to exercise his vested stock
options.
Mr. Capel is party to a severance and noncompetition agreement pursuant to which in the event
of termination of employment (as defined in his severance and noncompetition agreement), Mr. Capel
is eligible to receive twelve months of his then current base salary, payable in twelve equal
monthly installments from date of termination, including COBRA payments for Mr. Capels family
medical and dental coverage. All of his unvested options and restricted shares will vest if after a
change in control, Mr. Capels employment is terminated or constructively terminated,
other than for cause, if such termination or constructive termination occurs within two years of

Policy with Respect to Qualifying Compensation for Deductibility
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a limit on tax deductions for annual
compensation (other than performance-based compensation) in excess of one million dollars paid by a
corporation to its Chief Executive Officer and its other three most highly compensated executive
officers. The Compensation Committee considers tax deductibility when making its decisions
regarding executive compensation but reserves the right to award nondeductible compensation when
appropriate to accomplish other compensation objectives. The Committee will continue to assess the
impact of Section 162(m) on its compensation practices and determine what further action, if any,
is appropriate.
Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
The Companys Articles of Incorporation provide that the liability of the directors to the
shareholders for monetary damages shall be limited to the fullest extent permissible under Georgia
law. This limitation of liability does not affect the availability of injunctive relief or other
equitable remedies.
The Companys Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify each of its officers, directors,
employees and agents to the extent that he or she is or was a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative because he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however,
that no indemnification shall be made for:
|
|
|
any appropriation, in violation of his or her duties, of any business opportunity of the
Company; |
|
|
|
|
acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
|
|
|
|
any liability under Section 14-2-832 of the Georgia Business Corporation Code, which
relates to unlawful payments of dividends and unlawful stock repurchases and redemptions;
or |
|
|
|
|
any transaction from which he or she derived an improper personal benefit. |
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with certain executive officers and
directors providing indemnification similar to that provided in the Bylaws.

|
These columns represent the aggregate grant date fair value for stock and option awards in
accordance with the stock compensation topic in the FASB Codification. These award
fair values have been determined based on the assumptions set forth in the Companys 2009
Annual Report on Form 10-K (Note 2, Stock-Based Compensation). |

The 2/5/2009-approved award represents the Companys regular annual cash incentive plan
threshold, target and maximum awards for 2009. As described in more detail above under
Compensation Discussion and Analysis, no payouts for the named executive officers, other
than Mr. Mitchell, were made in 2009 pursuant to the annual plan. |
|
|
|
The 6/16/2009-approved award represents the Companys supplemental cash incentive plan
threshold and target awards for 2009 (no above-target incentives were payable under the
supplemental plan). As described in Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the
supplemental plan was established to restore near term performance and retention incentives
after it became evident that, due to economic deterioration, the
performance targets under the annual plan would be largely unattainable. The named
executive officers earned payouts under the supplemental plan equal to 40% of the target
award opportunities. |
|
|
|
The actual cash incentives paid to the named executive officers for 2009 pursuant to the
plans are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table under the Non-Equity Incentive Plan
Compensation column. |

(A) |
|
During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Board of Directors approved an Option
Acceleration Agreement that accelerated the vesting of unvested stock options held by
our employees with an exercise price of $22.09 or higher. The accelerated vesting
affected options for approximately 765 option holders, representing 1.9 million shares
of our common stock. In order to prevent unintended personal benefits to individuals
resulting from the accelerated vesting of options, we imposed sales restrictions on
shares acquired upon exercise of these options that parallel the vesting requirements
of the original options. These sales restrictions on the shares acquired continue
following termination of employment until the original vesting dates are reached. |

Mr. Sinisgallis severance and non-competition agreement provides for the payment of 18
months of his then current base salary and 18 months of COBRA payments for medical and
dental benefits for Mr. Sinisgalli and his family in the event of termination other than
for Cause (as defined in the agreement). This agreement also provides for a gross up for
any excise taxes up to $1 million, with certain exceptions. As of December 31, 2009, no
excise tax would have been payable and therefore no amount related to excise tax has been
included in the above table. |
|
(2) |
|
The severance and non-competition agreement of the named executive officers provide for
the payment of twelve months of then current base salary and twelve months of COBRA
payments for the executives and his familys medical and dental benefits in the event of
termination other than for cause (as defined in the agreement). |
|
(3) |
|
The named executive officers employment agreements provide for the vesting of all
unvested options and restricted stock upon a change of control and subsequent termination
other than for cause or constructive termination occurred within two years of such change
of control. The amount included in the table for the vesting of these previously unvested
stock options is the intrinsic valuei.e., the amount by which the market value of the
Companys common stock on December 31, 2009 ($24.04 per share) exceeded the exercise price
as of December 31, 2009 of the unvested in-the-money stock options. |
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The following non-employee directors were the members of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors during 2009: Thomas E. Noonan (Chairman), John J. Huntz, Jr., Peter J. Kight
and Brian J. Cassidy. To the Companys knowledge, there were no interlocking relationships
involving members of the Compensation Committee or other directors requiring disclosure in this
Proxy Statement.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Companys directors and
executive officers and persons who own beneficially more than 10% of the Common Stock to file
reports of initial statements of ownership and statements of changes in ownership of such stock
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Directors, executive officers and persons owning
beneficially more than 10% of the Common Stock are required by the Commission to furnish the
Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file with the Commission. To the Companys
knowledge, based solely on the information furnished to the Company, all directors, executive
officers and 10% shareholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during
the year ended December 31, 2009, except inadvertent late filings to report: (1) the grant of
common stock and employee stock options by the Company to Messrs. Mitchell, Sinisgalli and Story on
January 19, 2009; (2) the withholding by the Company of shares of common stock upon the vesting of
restricted stock awards of each of Messrs. Story, Mitchell and Dabbiere on January 2, 2009 and
January 4, 2009; (3) an acquisition of common stock by Mr. Dabbiere on January 19, 2009; (4) the

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation
Discussion and Analysis section of the Companys 2010 Proxy Statement. Based on its review and
discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that
the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Companys Proxy Statement for 2010 (and
in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K through incorporation by reference to the Proxy
Statement).
Compensation Committee

The foregoing report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement
incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we
specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed
under such Acts.
POLICY ON RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Companys Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is available in the Investor
Relations section of our web site at www.manh.com, and its conflicts of interest policy provide
generally that the Companys directors, officers and employees must avoid any personal, financial
or family interest that could keep such person from acting in our best interest. Approval of the
Chief Executive and Chief Legal Officers is needed for such conflicts; however, the Company has an
unwritten policy that conflicts involving directors or executive officers must be approved by the
Audit Committee or the independent members of the Board of Directors.
During the years ended December 31, 2009 the Company purchased software and services for
approximately $50,000 from a company whose former President and Chief Executive Officer is a member
of Manhattans Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2009, there was no accounts payable
outstanding.
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of
the Companys independent registered public accounting firm. In this regard, the Audit Committee
pre-approves all audit services and non-audit services to be provided to the Company by its
independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of
its members the authority to grant the approvals. The decision of any member to whom authority is
delegated to approve services to be performed by the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm is presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit
Committee may not approve any service that individually or in the aggregate may impair, in the
Audit Committees opinion, the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors currently consists of Messrs. Huntz (Chairman),
Goodwin, Lautenbach and Noonan, all of whom meet the independence requirements of The Nasdaq Stock
Market. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of
Directors, the complete text of which is available in its current form in the Investor Relations
section of our web site at www.manh.com.
30
In overseeing the preparation of the Companys financial statements, the Audit Committee met
with both management and the Companys independent registered public accounting firm to review and
discuss the financial statements prior to their issuance and to discuss significant accounting
issues. Management advised the Audit Committee that all financial statements were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Committee discussed the
statements with both management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit
Committees review included discussion with the independent registered public accounting firm of
matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended
(AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1. AU section 480), as adopted by the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. The Companys independent registered public accounting
firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and letter to
the Audit Committee required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board regarding the independent accountants communications with the Audit Committee concerning
independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP that firms
independence. The Audit Committee has concluded that Ernst & Young LLPs provision of audit and
non-audit services to the Company is compatible with Ernst & Young LLPs independence.
The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management its assessment and report on
the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2009, which it made using the criteria set forth by the Committee Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in Internal Control Integrated Framework. The Audit Committee has also
reviewed and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its attestation report on managements assessment of
internal control over financial reporting and its review and report on the Companys internal
control over financial reporting. The Company published these reports in its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of
Directors that the Companys audited financial statements be included in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.

The foregoing report shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement
incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that we
specifically incorporate this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed
under such Acts.
PROPOSAL 2
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
In January 2010, the Board of Directors appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as its
independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, subject
to the submission and approval of a budget for audit and audit related fees for services to be
rendered for our 2010 fiscal year. The appointment of Ernst & Young LLP was recommended to the
Board by its Audit Committee. In the event shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Ernst &
Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2010, the Audit Committee will
review its future selection of the independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the
Audit Committee, at its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent
registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that
a change would be in our best interests and the best interests of our shareholders. A proposal to
31
ratify the appointment will be presented at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Ernst & Young
LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a
statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from
shareholders.

Young LLP for each of the last two fiscal years:

Audit fees consisted of charges associated with the annual audit and the audit of internal
control over financial reporting, the review of the Companys quarterly reports on Form 10-Q
and statutory audits required internationally. |
|
(2) |
|
Tax fees consisted of charges principally related to services associated with tax compliance,
tax planning and tax advice. |
|
(3) |
|
All other fees include charges for products and/or services other than those described above. |
The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services by Ernst &
Young LLP is compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young
LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2010.
