Record Date and Outstanding Shares

Quorum and Voting
Each share of our common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote. Under Oregon law, action may be taken on a matter submitted to shareholders only if a quorum exists with respect to such matter. A majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum.
If a quorum is present, a nominee for election to the Board of Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. For all other matters, action will be approved if the votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action.
Shares represented by a properly executed proxy will be voted in accordance with the shareholders instructions, if given. If no instructions are given, shares will be voted FOR (i) the election of the nominees for directors named herein, (ii) the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for fiscal year 2003 and (iii) the recommendations of management on any other matters properly brought before the Annual Meeting. The Board of Directors knows of no other matters to be presented for action at the meeting.
Proxies that expressly indicate an abstention as to a particular proposal and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists at the Annual Meeting, but will not be counted for any purposes in determining whether a proposal is approved and have no effect on the determination of whether a plurality exists with respect to a given nominee. Proxies and ballots will be received and tabulated by Mellon Investor Services LLP, the Companys transfer agent.

Compensation Committee Report on Executive Compensation
Compensation Committee |
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Barrett, Whipple, McCoy and Spooner. Mr. Barrett is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors, the Compensation Committee approves compensation of executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for reviewing and approving executive compensation programs and administering our stock incentive and executive compensation plans. The Compensation Committee also provides advice on a broad range of human resources issues including best practices in the areas of benefits, staffing, succession planning and general compensation.
Compensation Policy |
The Compensation Committee believes that Corillians total executive compensation programs should be related to corporate performance. We have developed a total compensation strategy that ties a significant portion of executive compensation to achievement of pre-established financial results. The primary objectives of the executive Compensation Committee are to:
| Attract and retain talented executives; | |
| Motivate executives to achieve long-term business strategies while achieving near-term financial targets; and | |
| Align executive performance with Corillians strategic and tactical goals. |
We have base pay and bonus programs for our executive officers, as well as a 401(k) plan. These programs are designed to offer compensation that is competitive with compensation offered by companies of similar size and complexity within the software industry. The Compensation Committee uses comparative information from a group of companies in the software industry, particularly the Internet-based financial services software industry, for establishing executive compensation, general compensation structures and Corillian performance goals.
8
Base Salaries |
Base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers are initially determined by evaluating the responsibilities of the position and the experience of the individual, and by reference to the competitive marketplace for corporate executives. This includes a comparison of base salary and total compensation for comparable positions at other companies.
Annual salary adjustments are considered and determined by evaluating Corillians performance and each executive officer, and also take into account any new responsibilities and information about the competitive marketplace for corporate executives. The Compensation Committee, when appropriate, also considers non-financial performance measures that focus attention on improvement in management processes.
Executive Bonus Plan |
Our executive officers participate in an executive bonus plan, which is a quarterly cash incentive compensation plan. Corillians performance objectives and each executive officers personal objectives are established and approved by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the fiscal year. Performance measures have established quarterly targets that determine the amount of cash payment under the plan. The Compensation Committee suspended the executive bonus plan for fiscal 2002 and is evaluating reinstating the plan in the first half of 2003.
Stock Options
All of our employees, including executive officers, are eligible to participate in our 2000 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan. All option grants are approved by the Compensation Committee, except that our Chief Executive Officer may approve option grants so long as the number of shares subject to the options granted to a particular individual do not exceed 30,000 in any twelve-month period. Guidelines for the number of options granted have been established and are reviewed periodically to ensure competitiveness. Actual grants are based on individual performance and contribution to our strategic success.

Audit Committee Report
Audit Committee |
The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Companys accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Whipple and Jensen. Until February 2003, Mr. Mohan served on the Audit Committee. Mr. Whipple is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. All of the members of the Audit Committee are able to read and understand financial statements and have experience in finance and accounting that provide them with financial sophistication. Messrs. Whipple and Jensen are both independent directors, but Mr. Mohan may have been deemed to not be an independent director under NASD Rule 4200(15)(d) because he is employed by Battery Ventures, an affiliate of the Company. While Mr. Mohan did not meet the definition of independence of NASD Rule 4200(15)(d), the Board of Directors had determined in its business judgment that Mr. Mohans membership on the audit committee was in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. Because of proposed revisions to the NASD rules, Mr. Mohan no longer serves on the Audit Committee.

Duties and Responsibilities |
The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to authority delegated by the Board of Directors and the written charter of the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee
| recommends the selection, retention or replacement of our independent auditor, and ensures the independence of the auditor through an analysis of written statements delineating all relationships between the auditor and Corillian and by engaging in dialogue with the auditor regarding any relationships that may impact the objectivity and independence of the auditor; | |
| reviews the scope and results of the annual independent audit of the books and records of Corillian; | |
| reviews the adequacy of internal accounting, financial and operating controls; | |
| reviews procedures to ensure compliance with applicable financial reporting requirements of government agencies; and | |
| performs such other duties as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. |
In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent auditors to review and discuss the December 31, 2002 financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee also received written disclosures from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent auditors that firms independence.
Fiscal 2002 Audit
Based upon the Audit Committees discussions with management and the independent auditors, and the Audit Committees review of the representations of management and the independent auditors, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in Corillians Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Employment, Change of Control and Severance Agreements
In January 2001, we entered into an employment agreement with Alex P. Hart to serve as President. The term of the agreement is two years but renews automatically for successive one-year periods. Mr. Hart was appointed as Chief Executive Officer in October 2002.
Mr. Harts base compensation is $235,000 per year for the term of the agreement. He also received a signing bonus of $75,000 in January 2001, and we agreed to pay his relocation expenses in moving from Bellevue, Washington to Portland, Oregon. Mr. Hart may be terminated without cause or for cause, disability or death. If Mr. Hart is terminated without cause during the term of the agreement, he is entitled to exercise 50% of the then unvested portion of all of his stock options. Pursuant to Mr. Harts agreement, we extended a $300,000 short-term loan to him to assist him in purchasing a house in Portland, Oregon while he was in the process of selling his house in Bellevue, Washington. The loan is interest-free and is secured by all assets of Mr. Hart. Mr. Hart has paid $140,000 of the principal amount of the note, and $160,000 of the principal amount remains outstanding.
In connection with Mr. Spooners departure as Chief Executive Officer in October 2002, Corillian entered into an agreement with Mr. Spooner, which requires Corillian to pay Mr. Spooner a severance payment of approximately $600,000, $300,000 of which is due upon termination of the agreement or Mr. Spooners termination of employment as Chief Corporate Strategist, and $300,000 of which is due in four equal quarterly installments beginning 90 days after such termination. In April 2003, our Board of Directors elected to make the installment payments in one lump-sum payment to Mr. Spooner in April 2003. Mr. Spooners agreement terminated on April 7, 2003. Mr. Spooner will no longer be a director of Corillian effective May 7, 2003.
Corillian has entered into severance agreements with eight employees of the company, including the executive officers. These severance agreements provide for severance payments to be made to these employees if they are terminated without cause within one year after a change in control of Corillian. The severance payment that would be made to each of these employees depends upon the seniority of the individual and the length of the individuals employment with Corillian. For example, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer would each be entitled to a severance payment equal to two years of his base compensation, the maximum amount permitted under the agreements.
Related Party Transactions
In August 2001, we advanced $100,000 to Andrew White in exchange for a note from Mr. White. As of December 31, 2002, Mr. White had paid all amounts outstanding under this note.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), requires our directors and executive officers and any persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of our common stock to report their initial ownership of common stock and any subsequent changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Specific due dates for such reports have been established. Persons subject to the Section 16(a) reporting requirements are required to furnish the Company copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file with the SEC. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of such reports furnished to us and representations that no other reports are required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to such reporting persons have been complied with since we became subject to the Exchange Act provisions in April 2000, except Mr. Spooner inadvertently filed late reports for two transactions executed in December 2002.
PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
On February 11, 2003, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors recommended appointment of KPMG LLP to act as our independent auditors for the period ending December 31, 2003. The Board of Directors accepted this recommendation and appointed KPMG as our independent auditors on March 17, 2003. Representatives of KPMG LLP will be in attendance at the Annual Meeting and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if they wish to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
The Board of Directors recommends that the shareholders vote FOR the ratification of KPMG LLP as Corillians independent auditors for the year ending December 31, 2003.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2004 ANNUAL MEETING
Shareholder proposals to be presented at the 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received at Corillians principal executive offices no later than December 11, 2003 in order to be included in Corillians proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.
According to Corillians Bylaws, for business to be properly brought before the 2004 Annual Meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary. To be timely, a shareholders notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at Corillians principal executive offices not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting; provided, that in the event that less than 70 days notice of the date of the 2004 Annual Meeting is given to the shareholders, notice by the shareholder, to be timely, must be so received not later than the close of business on the seventh day following the day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed.
If Corillian receives proper notice of a shareholder proposal pursuant to Corillians Bylaws, and such notice is not received a reasonable time prior to mailing by Corillian of its proxy materials for Corillians 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Corillian believes that its proxy holders would be allowed to use the discretionary authority granted by the proxy card to vote against the proposal at the meeting without including any disclosure of the proposal in the proxy statement relating to such meeting.
Corillian delivers a copy of our proxy materials to each shareholder, including those who share an address. Shareholders sharing an address who receive multiple copies of our proxy materials may request delivery of a single copy of our proxy materials by notifying us in writing at: Corillian Corporation, 3400 NW John Olsen Place, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124, Attn: the Secretary.
