(1) Mr. Wilson joined the Board of Directors in August 2006. Since such time, there have been no Board meetings.

Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, the Board of Directors met eight times. No current director attended fewer than 75% of all the meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees on which he served after becoming a member of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. The Company encourages, but does not require, its Board members to attend the annual stockholders meeting. None of the Company’s directors attended the 2005 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board of Directors has determined that a majority of its members, Messrs. Ferguson, Kiani, Lenihan, Navickas, Weatherford and Wilson, are “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 4200 of the listing standards of the Marketplace Rules of NASDAQ.

The Audit Committee

During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, the Audit Committee held nine meetings. Messrs. Lenihan, Navickas and Weatherford are the current members of our Audit Committee. The Audit Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of Saba and audits of the financial statements of Saba. The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to our Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters. The Audit Committee reviews and monitors the corporate financial reporting and the external audits of Saba, including, among other things, our internal control functions, the results and scope of the annual audit and other services provided by our independent auditors and our compliance with legal matters that have significant

 

5


impact on our financial reports. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of our independent auditors. Our Board adopted and approved a charter for the Audit Committee on October 21, 1999. The charter for the Audit Committee was amended to reflect relevant provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the NASDAQ rules. A copy of the Audit Committee charter, as amended to date, can be viewed on our website under “Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” at www.saba.com.

The Audit Committee is composed solely of non-employee directors, as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and the Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that term is defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of NASDAQ. The Board has further determined that Mr. Weatherford, Chairman of the Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act and is independent as defined by Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A of the Exchange Act.

The Compensation Committee

During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, the Compensation Committee held one meeting. Messrs. Kiani, Lenihan and Navickas are the current members of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee establishes salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for executive officers and other key employees. This committee also administers our incentive compensation and benefit plans. A copy of the Compensation Committee charter, as amended to date, can be viewed on our website under “Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” at www.saba.com.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2006, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee held two meetings. The current members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are Messrs. Ferguson, Kiani and Lenihan. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee oversees the operation of the Board, the selection, nomination, evaluation and education of directors, and the establishment and implementation of our policies and programs regarding internal governance and legal and ethical conduct. Prior to our annual meeting of stockholders, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, pursuant to guidelines designed to highlight the necessary qualifications, assists the existing Board in selecting the candidates who will be presented to our stockholders for election to serve on our Board of Directors. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will consider and make recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding any stockholder recommendations for candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. However, it has not adopted a formal process for that consideration because it believes that the informal consideration process will be adequate given the historical absence of stockholder proposals. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will review periodically whether a more formal policy should be adopted. Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee may do so by writing to our Corporate Secretary, 2400 Bridge Parkway, Redwood Shores, California 94065-1166, providing the candidate’s name, biographical data and qualifications, a document indicating the candidate’s willingness to act if elected, and evidence of the nominating stockholder’s ownership of our Common Stock at least 120 days prior to the next annual meeting to assure time for meaningful consideration by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. There are no differences in the manner in which the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder. We do not currently pay any third party to identify or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee operates under a written charter setting forth the functions and responsibilities of the committee. A copy of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee charter, as amended to date, can be viewed on our website under “Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” at www.saba.com.

In reviewing potential candidates for the Board of Directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers the individual’s experience in human capital development and management solutions and

 

6


related industries, the general business or other experience of the candidate, our needs for an additional or replacement director, the personality of the candidate, the candidate’s interest in our business, as well as numerous other subjective criteria. Of greatest importance is the individual’s integrity, willingness to get involved and ability to bring to us experience and knowledge in areas that are most beneficial to us as a company. The Board intends to continue to evaluate candidates for election to the Board of Directors on the basis of the foregoing criteria.

All members of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent directors within the meaning of Rule 4200 of the Marketplace Rules of NASDAQ.

Communication between Stockholders and Directors

Our Board of Directors currently does not have a formal process for stockholders to send communications to the Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders on a timely basis. The Board of Directors does not recommend that formal communication procedures be adopted at this time because it believes that informal communications are sufficient to communicate questions, comments and observations that could be useful to the Board. However, stockholders wishing to formally communicate with the Board of Directors may send communications directly to Bobby Yazdani, Chairman of the Board, c/o Saba Software, Inc., 2400 Bridge Parkway, Redwood Shores, California 94065-1166.

Access to Corporate Governance Policies

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to, among others, our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, which is designed to qualify as a “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated thereunder. The Code of Ethics is available on our website under “Investor Relations—Corporate Governance” at www.saba.com. To the extent required by law, any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the Code of Ethics will be promptly disclosed to the public. To the extent permitted by such legal requirements, we intend to make such public disclosure by posting the relevant material on our website in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Copies of our committee charters and Code of Ethics will be provided to any stockholder upon written request directed to Investor Relations, Saba Software, Inc., 2400 Bridge Parkway, Redwood Shores, California 94065-1166.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq Global Market (formerly the Nasdaq National Market). Reporting Persons are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required, we believe that during fiscal 2006, all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No members of our Compensation Committee are officers or employees of Saba. No interlocking relationship exists between our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors or compensation committee of any other company, nor has such an interlocking relationship existed in the past.

Relationships Among Directors or Executive Officers

There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers of the Company.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any of the Company’s previous filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that might incorporate future filings, including this Form 10-K, in whole or in part, the following report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission, nor shall such report be incorporated by reference into any such filings, nor shall the following report be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any future filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

We have a compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) which has the authority and responsibility to approve the overall compensation strategy, administer our annual and long-term compensation plans, and review and make recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to executive compensation. The Compensation Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of our board of directors.

Executive Officer Compensation Programs

The objectives of the executive officer compensation program are to attract, retain, motivate and reward key personnel who possess the necessary leadership and management skills, through competitive base salary, annual cash bonus incentives, long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options, and various benefits, including medical and life insurance plans.

The executive compensation policies of the Compensation Committee are intended to combine competitive levels of compensation and rewards for above average performance and to align relative compensation with the achievements of key business objectives, optimal satisfaction of customers and maximization of stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that stock ownership by management is beneficial in aligning management and stockholder interests, thereby enhancing stockholder value.

Base Salaries. Salaries for our executive officers are determined primarily on the basis of the executive officer’s responsibility, general salary practices of peer companies and the officer’s individual qualifications and experience. The base salaries are reviewed at least annually and may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in accordance with certain criteria which include individual performance, the functions performed by the executive officer, the scope of the executive officer’s on-going duties, general changes in the compensation peer group in which we compete for executive talent, and our financial performance generally. The weight given to each such factor by the Compensation Committee may vary from individual to individual.

Incentive Bonuses. The Compensation Committee believes that a cash incentive bonus plan can serve to motivate our executive officers and management to address annual performance goals, using more immediate measures for performance than those reflected in the appreciation in value of stock options. The bonus amounts are based upon recommendations by management and a subjective consideration of factors including such

 

11


officer’s level of responsibility, individual performance, contributions to our success and our financial performance generally.

Stock Option Grants. Stock options may be granted to executive officers and other employees under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). Because of the direct relationship between the value of an option and the stock price, the Compensation Committee believes that options motivate executive officers to manage Saba in a manner that is consistent with stockholder interests. Stock option grants are intended to focus the attention of the recipient on our long-term performance which we believe results in improved stockholder value, and to retain the services of the executive officers in a competitive job market by providing significant long-term earnings potential. To this end, stock options generally vest and become fully exercisable over a four-year period. The principal factors considered in granting stock options to executive officers of Saba are prior performance, level of responsibility, other compensation and the executive officer’s ability to influence our long-term growth and profitability. However, the Plans do not provide any quantitative method for weighing these factors, and a decision to grant an award is primarily based upon a subjective evaluation of the past as well as future anticipated performance.

Other Compensation Plans. We have adopted certain general employee benefit plans in which executive officers are permitted to participate on parity with other employees. We also provide a 401(k) deferred compensation pension plan.

Deductibility of Compensation. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) disallows a deduction by Saba for compensation exceeding $1.0 million paid to certain executive officers, excluding, among other things, performance based compensation. Because the compensation paid to the executive officers has not approached the limitation, the Compensation Committee has not had to use any of the available exemptions from the deduction limit. The Compensation Committee remains aware of the IRC Section 162(m) limitations and the available exemptions and will address the issue of deductibility when and if circumstances warrant the use of such exemptions.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation

The compensation of our Chief Executive Officer is reviewed at least annually on the same basis as discussed above for all Executive Officers. Mr. Yazdani’s base salary was established in part by comparing the base salaries of Chief Executive Officers at other companies of similar sizes in the high technology industry. Mr. Yazdani’s 2005 annual base salary was $300,000, which amount was established at the time he was reappointed to serve as Chief Executive Officer in September 2003. In February 2006, the compensation committee established an annual base salary of $350,000 for Mr. Yazdani and a target incentive plan of 50% of the annual base salary. The compensation committee, subsequent to establishing Mr. Yazdani’s annual base salary in February 2006, retained a third party compensation consultant to review the Chief Executive Officer’s level of compensation. Based in part on the results of the compensation consultant’s report, the compensation committee intends to recommend to the board of directors at its next meeting, an increase in Mr. Yazdani’s annual base salary to $400,000 effective June 1, 2006.

ITEM 12:    SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth certain information known to us with respect to beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 1, 2006 by:

 

    each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock,

    all current executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Percentage of beneficial ownership as of September 1, 2006 is based on 28,583,607 shares of common stock. To our knowledge, except as set forth in the footnotes to this table and subject to applicable community property laws, each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares set forth opposite such person’s name.
