TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROXY STATEMENT FOR 2005 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING
General
This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are being
mailed on or about April 8, 2005, to shareholders of
Corillian Corporation, an Oregon corporation, in connection with
the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of
Corillian for use at the annual meeting of shareholders to be
held on May 9, 2005, at 10:00 a.m. local time, at the
Heathman Hotel, located at 1001 SW Broadway, Portland,
Oregon, and any adjournment thereof (the Annual
Meeting). Corillians principal executive offices are
located at 3400 NW John Olsen Place, Hillsboro, Oregon
97124.
Record Date and Outstanding Shares
Only shareholders of record at the close of business on
March 15, 2005 (the Record Date) will be
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business
on the Record Date, there were 38,907,726 shares of
Corillians common stock outstanding.
Revocability of Proxies
Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting,
Corillian urges you to submit your proxy, which, when properly
completed, will be voted as you direct. In the event no
directions are specified, such proxies will be voted in
accordance with the following recommendations of the Board of
Directors:
|
|
|
|
|
FOR the election of Robert G. Barrett, Alex P. Hart, Tyree B.
Miller and James R. Stojak to the Board of Directors (Proposal
One); and |
|
|
|
FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as
independent registered public accounting firm for 2005 (Proposal
Two). |
A shareholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke that proxy
at any time before it is exercised by filing with
Corillians Secretary an instrument of revocation, or a
duly exercised proxy bearing a later date, or by personally
attending and voting at the Annual Meeting; however the mere
presence at the Annual Meeting of a shareholder who has
previously appointed a proxy will not revoke the prior
appointment.
Quorum and Voting
Each share of Corillians common stock entitles its holder
to one vote. Under Oregon law, action may be taken on a matter
submitted to shareholders only if a quorum exists with respect
to that matter. A majority of the outstanding shares of
Corillians 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, if a quorum is present, action will be approved if the
votes cast in favor of the action exceed the votes cast opposing
the action.
1
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 four
(4) nominees for director named in this proxy statement,
(ii) the ratification of the selection of KPMG LLP as
Corillians independent registered public accounting firm
for fiscal year 2005; 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.
Solicitation of Proxies
This solicitation is being made on behalf of the Board of
Directors, and the cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by
Corillian. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain of
Corillians directors, officers and regular employees may
solicit proxies, without additional compensation, in person or
by telephone or other means. Brokers, nominees and fiduciaries
will be reimbursed in accordance with customary practice for
expenses incurred in obtaining proxies or authorizations from
the beneficial shareholders. Your cooperation in promptly
completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy
card will help avoid additional expense. Shareholders who hold
shares in street name through a broker or otherwise
through a nominee will receive instructions from the broker or
nominee on how to instruct the broker or nominee to vote the
shares.
Shareholder Proposals for 2006 Annual Meeting
Shareholder proposals to be presented at the 2006 annual meeting
of shareholders must be received at Corillians principal
executive offices no later than December 9, 2005 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 2006 annual meeting of shareholders
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 2006 annual meeting of shareholders; provided, that
in the event that less than 70 days notice of the
date of the 2006 annual meeting of shareholders 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 2006 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.
Shareholder Information
Corillians 2004 Annual Report To Shareholders
accompanies these materials. Copies of Corillians Annual
Report On Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 may be obtained from Corillian without
charge upon written request to Corillian. Requests should be
directed to the Secretary, Corillian Corporation, 3400 NW John
Olsen Place, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124.
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Under Corillians Articles of Incorporation, the Board of
Directors may be classified as long as it consists of at least
six directors. The members of a classified Board serve staggered
three year-terms. At each annual
2
meeting, directors in one class are elected for a term of three
years to succeed those directors whose terms expire at that
annual meeting or until their respective successors are duly
qualified and elected. At the 2004 annual meeting of
shareholders, because the Board of Directors consisted of five
directors, rather than six directors, the shareholders elected
two directors to serve one-year terms instead of three-year
terms. The Board of Directors increased the size of the Board to
six members and appointed an additional director subsequent to
the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders.
Effective at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors will
again be divided into three classes, consisting of two
Class 1 directors, two Class 2 directors and two
Class 3 directors. At the Annual Meeting, the shareholders
are being asked to elect a total of four directors: two
Class 1 directors to serve a term of two years, or until
death or removal from office and until their respective
successors are duly qualified and elected; and two Class 2
directors to serve a term of three years, or until death or
removal from office and until their respective successors are
duly qualified and elected.
Nominees
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board
of Directors selected, and the Board of Directors approved, the
following nominees for election to the Board of Directors at the
Annual Meeting, each to serve until the annual meeting of
shareholders held in the year listed beside his name or until
his successor is duly qualified and elected (the
Nominees):
|

Tyree B. Miller
|
|
Class 2 Director |
|
2008 |
James R. Stojak
|
|
Class 2 Director |
|
2008 |
Although the Board of Directors anticipates that the Nominees
will be available to serve as directors of Corillian, if any of
them does not accept the nomination, or otherwise is unwilling
or unable to serve, the proxies will be voted for the election
of a substitute nominee or nominees designated by the Board of
Directors. There are no arrangements or understandings between
any director or executive officer and any other person pursuant
to which he is or was to be selected as a director or officer of
Corillian. There is no family relationship between any director
or executive officer of Corillian.
Vote Required
If a quorum is present, the four (4) candidates receiving
the highest number of affirmative votes represented and voting
on this proposal at the Annual Meeting will be elected to the
Board of Directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be
counted for the purposes of determining the presence or absence
of a quorum, but will have no effect on the election of
directors once a quorum is established.

Board Meetings and Committees
The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Barrett,
Dunn, Miller, Stojak, and Whipple, who constitute a majority of
the Board of Directors, are independent under applicable NASD
rules.
During 2004, there were six meetings of the Board of Directors.
Each director during 2004 attended more than 75% of the
aggregate number of Board of Directors meetings and
meetings of Board committees of which he was a member.
The Board of Directors has standing Audit, Compensation, and
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. All members of
the committees are appointed by the Board of Directors, and are
independent, non-employee directors. The following describes
each committee, its current membership, the number of meetings
held during fiscal year 2004 and its function.
Audit Committee. The Audit Committee currently consists
of Messrs. Whipple, Barrett and Dunn, all of whom are
independent under NASD rules and SEC regulations applicable to
audit committee members. The Board has determined that
Mr. Dunn is an audit committee financial expert
as defined in SEC regulations. Mr. Whipple is Chair of the
Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee held seven meetings during 2004. The Audit
Committee assists the Board of Directors in oversight of the
integrity of Corillians financial statements,
Corillians compliance with legal and regulatory
requirements, the independent registered public accounting
firms qualifications and independence, the performance of
the independent registered public accounting firm and internal
audit function and compliance with Corillians code of
ethics for senior financial officers and code of conduct for all
Corillians personnel. The Audit Committee operates under a
written charter, which was attached to Corillians proxy
statement for the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders. The Audit
Committee report is included in this proxy statement on
page 21.
Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee
currently consists of Messrs. Barrett, Stojak (since
September 2004) and Whipple and Ravi Mohan.
Mr. Mohans term as a director is ending at the Annual
Meeting. Messrs. Barrett, Mohan, Stojak and Whipple are
independent under applicable NASD rules. Mr. Barrett is the
chairman of the Compensation Committee. Executive officers who
are also directors of Corillian do not participate in decisions
affecting their own compensation. The Compensation Committee
held three meetings during 2004. The Compensation Committee
approves compensation for Corillians executive officers,
reviews and approves executive compensation programs and
administers Corillians stock incentive and executive
compensation plans. The Compensation Committee operates under a
written charter contained in Corillians bylaws. The
Compensation Committee report is included in this proxy
statement on page 17.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists
of Messrs. Barrett, Dunn, Mohan and Whipple.
Mr. Mohans term as a director is ending at the Annual
Meeting. Messrs. Barrett, Dunn, Mohan and Whipple are
independent under applicable NASD rules. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee was established in March 2003 to:
(i) identify individuals qualified to become members of the
Board of Directors; (ii) approve and recommend to the Board
of Directors director candidates; (iii) develop, update as
necessary and recommend to the Board of Directors corporate
governance principles and policies applicable to the Company;
and (iv) monitor compliance with such principles and
policies. The Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committees written charter is available on the corporate
governance section of the investor relations page on the
Companys website at www.corillian.com/investors. The
committee did not have any meetings during 2004 and acted solely
by written consent.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee utilizes a
variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director
candidates. Candidates should have the highest personal and
professional ethics, integrity and values. They should have
broad professional experience in business, government,
education, technology or
5
public interest. They should be committed to enhancing
shareholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out
their duties as a director. Each director must represent the
interests of Corillian shareholders.
The committee regularly assesses the appropriate size of the
Board, and whether any vacancies on the Board are expected due
to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are
anticipated, or otherwise arise, the committee considers various
potential candidates for director. Candidates may come to the
attention of the committee through current Board members,
professional search firms or other persons. These candidates are
evaluated at regular or special meetings of the committee using
the criteria listed above, and may be considered at any point
during the year.
While the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not
consider nominees recommended by shareholders, shareholders can
directly nominate directors for election by following the
procedures set forth in Corillians bylaws.
Corillians bylaws require that shareholders give advance
notice and furnish certain information to Corillian in order to
nominate a person for election as a director. Shareholders of
Corillian can nominate candidates for election as directors by
submitting a notice in writing to the Secretary of Corillian at
3400 NW John Olsen Place, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124. This notice
must be received not less than 60 days or more than
90 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of
shareholders. If Corillian provides less than 70 days
notice to shareholders of the date of the annual meeting of
shareholders, notice by a shareholder nominating a director
candidate must be received by Corillian by the close of business
on the seventh day following the day on which such notice of the
date of the meeting was mailed. A shareholders written
notice to nominate a director candidate must state for each
person recommended as a director candidate: the candidates
name, age, business and residence address and his or her
principal occupation or employment. The notice must also state
as to the shareholder giving the notice: that persons name
and address as they appear on Corillians books; a
representation that he or she is entitled to vote at the annual
meeting of shareholders; the number of shares of
Corillians common stock that he or she beneficially owns;
and a representation that the shareholder intends to appear in
person or by proxy at the meeting to make the nomination
specified in the notice. In addition, the notice must include
any other information relating to the shareholder that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for
election of directors, or is otherwise required, pursuant to
Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. If a nomination is not made in accordance with these
procedures, the nomination will be disregarded.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation
The members of the Compensation Committee during 2004 were
Messrs. Barrett, Mohan, Stojak (since September 2004) and
Whipple. Mr. Mohans term as a director is ending at
the Annual Meeting. Messrs. Barrett, Mohan, Stojak and
Whipple have at no time been officers or employees of Corillian.
Mr. Barrett and Mr. Mohan were partners of Battery
Ventures, a former holder of more than 5% of Corillians
stock, until April 2000 and June 2004, respectively. Corillian
has issued and sold shares of stock to Battery Ventures in two
private placement transactions, as previously reported. Battery
Ventures no longer holds any shares of Corillians stock.
Compensation of Directors
Non-employee directors receive $1,000 for each Board of
Directors meeting attended and $500 for each committee meeting
attended. Corillian also grants stock options to non-employee
directors from time to time. Corillian granted stock options to
purchase an aggregate of 40,000 shares to non-employee
directors in 2004, and granted stock options to
purchase 20,000 shares to Mr. Miller, a
non-employee director, upon his election to the Board of
Directors in March 2005. No employee director receives
additional compensation for his service as a director.
Shareholder Communication with Directors
Shareholders can communicate with the Board of Directors, the
independent directors or any individual director by submitting
written communication addressed to the Board of Directors, the
independent directors or an individual director, at Corillian
Corporation, 3400 NW John Olsen Place, Hillsboro, Oregon 97124.
6
All communications received in accordance with these procedures
will be reviewed initially by Corillians Investor
Relations Department. The Investor Relations Department will
relay the communications to the appropriate director or
directors unless the Investor Relations Department determines
that the communication:
|
|
|
|
|
does not relate to the business or affairs of Corillian or the
functioning or constitution of the Board of Directors or any of
its committees; |
|
|
|
relates to routine or insignificant matters that do not warrant
the attention of the Board; |
|
|
|
is an advertisement or other commercial solicitation or
communication; |
|
|
|
is frivolous or offensive; or |
|
|
|
is otherwise not appropriate for delivery to directors. |
The director or directors who receive a communication received
in accordance with these procedures will have discretion to
determine whether the subject matter of the communication should
be brought to the attention of the full Board or one or more of
its committees and whether any response to the person sending
the communication is appropriate. Any such response will be made
through the Investor Relations Department and only in accordance
with Corillians policies and procedures and the applicable
law and regulations relating to the disclosure of information.
Corillian encourages its directors to attend the annual meeting
of shareholders. One member of the Board of Directors attended
the 2004 annual meeting of shareholders.
PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected KPMG
LLP to audit Corillians financial statements for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. The Audit Committee
carefully considered that firms qualifications as an
independent registered public accounting firm. This included a
review of the qualifications of the engagement team, the quality
control procedures the firm has established, and any issues
raised by the most recent quality control review of the firm; as
well as its reputation for integrity and competence in the
fields of accounting and auditing. The Audit Committees
review also included matters required to be considered under the
SECs rules on auditor independence, including the nature
and extent of non-audit services, to ensure that they will not
impair the independence of the accountants. The Audit Committee
was satisfied with KPMG LLP in all of these respects.
Although ratification by shareholders is not required by law,
the Board of Directors has determined that it is desirable to
request approval of this selection by the shareholders.
Notwithstanding its selection, the Audit Committee, in its
discretion, may appoint a new independent registered public
accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit
Committee believes that such a change would be in the best
interests of Corillian and its shareholders. If the shareholders
do not ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP, the Audit Committee
may reconsider its selection. 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.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services
The Audit Committee has established a policy governing
Corillians use of KPMG LLP for non-audit services. Under
the policy, management may use KPMG LLP for non-audit services
that are permitted under SEC rules and regulations, provided
that management obtains the Audit Committees approval
before such services are rendered.
The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of all
fees identified above under the captions Audit-Related
Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees
that were billed by KPMG LLP is compatible with maintaining KPMG
LLPs independence and has pre-approved these services in
accordance with its charter and applicable laws, rules and
regulations.
Vote Required
If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of
the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote

of KPMG LLP as Corillians independent registered public
accounting firm. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote
against the ratification of KPMG LLP as
Corillians independent registered public accounting firm.
Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that the
shareholders vote FOR the ratification of KPMG LLP
as Corillians independent registered public accounting
firm for the year ending December 31, 2005.

Calculated based on the difference between the option exercise
price and the closing price of Corillians common stock on
December 31, 2004 ($4.92 per share), the last trading
day of 2004. The potential values have not been, and may never
be, realized. The underlying options have not been, and may
never be, exercised. Actual gains, if any, on exercise will
depend on the value of Corillians common stock on the date
of exercise. |
Employment, Change of Control and Severance Agreements
Executive Severance Agreements. Corillian has entered
into severance agreements with key employees of the company,
including the Named Executive Officers. These severance
agreements provide for severance payments to be made to these
employees if they are terminated without cause at any time and
increased severance payments if they are terminated without
cause within one year after a change of control of Corillian.
The severance payments that would be made if these employees are
terminated without cause at any time are as follows: for Alex
Hart, one years base salary; for each of the other
executive officers, six months base salary. The severance
payments that would be made if these employees are terminated
without cause within one year after a change of control of
Corillian are as follows: for Alex Hart, one years base
salary plus an amount sufficient to enable him to pay off the
entire outstanding amount of his debt obligation to Corillian
(currently $85,374) after taking into account applicable
withholding taxes; for Chris Brooks, one years base
salary; for Paul Wilde, one years base salary if
Mr. Wilde has established permanent residency in Portland,
Oregon and six months base salary if Mr. Wilde has
not established permanent residency in Portland, Oregon; and for
Erich Litch, six months base salary. In addition, fifty
percent to one hundred percent of any unvested portion of all
stock options held by the executive officers will accelerate if
the executives employment with Corillian is terminated
within one year after a change in control of Corillian.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
General
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. The Compensation Committee annually reviews the
Chief Executive Officers performance, and reviews with the Chief
Executive Officer the performance of the other executive
officers.
Compensation Policy
The Compensation Committee believes that Corillians total
executive compensation programs should be related to corporate
performance, which leads to increasing shareholder value. We
have developed a total compensation strategy that ties a
significant portion of executive compensation to the achievement
of our business plan and objectives as established by the Board
of Directors. The primary objectives of the Compensation
Committee are to:
|
|
|
|
|
Attract and retain talented executives; |
|
|
|
Motivate executives to successfully implement business
strategies to achieve long-term and near-term financial
targets; and |
|
|
|
Align executive performance with Corillians strategic and
tactical goals. |
We have base pay, bonus and stock incentive 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 peer 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. Corillians executive officers do not
generally receive any fringe benefits or perquisites; we pay for
a golf club memberships for one executive officer, Alex Hart,
pursuant to the compensation arrangement we entered into with
him when he commenced employment with Corillian.
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, by reference to the competitive marketplace for
corporate executives and, for executive officers other than the
Chief Executive Officer, taking into account the Chief Executive
Officers recommendations. This evaluation includes a
comparison of base salary and total compensation for comparable
positions at companies in our peer group.
Annual salary adjustments for the Chief Executive Officer and
other executive officers are considered and determined by
evaluating Corillians performance and the performance of
each executive officer, and also take into account any new
responsibilities and information about the competitive
marketplace for corporate executives and, for executive officers
other than the Chief Executive Officer, are based on the Chief
Executive Officers recommendations. The Compensation
Committee, when appropriate, also considers non-financial
performance measures that focus attention on improvement in
management processes.
Our executive officers participate in an executive bonus plan,
which is a cash incentive compensation plan that provides an
opportunity for executive officers, including the Chief
Executive Officer, to earn semi-annual bonuses. In the first
quarter of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves
minimum and target performance objective thresholds for
Corillians performance based on achievement of
Corillians business plan and objectives approved by the
Board of Directors, with interim goals that are measured on a
semi-annual
13
basis. The Compensation Committee also approves annual
performance objectives, with interim goals, based on each
executive officers personal performance. These performance
targets determine the minimum and maximum amount of cash
payments under the plan. For executive officers other than the
Chief Executive Officer, the Committee establishes the personal
performance objectives based on the Chief Executive
Officers recommendations. If the minimum performance
objectives under the executive bonus plan for Corillians
performance are not met, no bonuses are paid, even if the
executive officer meets individual performance objectives. In
addition to the executive bonus plan, our executive officer in
charge of sales generally participates in an additional bonus
plan that relates to the achievement of sales performance goals.
Bonuses under the executive bonus plan are calculated as a
percentage of base salary and, when added to the executive
officers base salaries, are intended to produce total
annual compensation for each executive officer, including the
Chief Executive Officer, that is in line with the compensation
paid to comparable executive officers at companies in our peer
group. Maximum executive officer bonus amounts generally range
from 30% to 50% of base salary, with the Chief Executive Officer
eligible for the highest percentage bonus. Bonuses paid will be
based on percentage achievement of the performance objectives
approved by the Compensation Committee.
The executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer,
received bonuses under the executive bonus plan for the first
half of 2004, based on achievement of the interim goals, but did
not receive bonuses for the second half of 2004. The officer
serving as Senior Vice President of Sales in 2004 did not
participate in the executive bonus plan, but instead received a
bonus for the first half of 2004 under a separate executive
bonus plan, in which he was the only participant, based on
target performance objectives for sales performance goals.
All of our employees, including executive officers and the Chief
Executive Officer, are eligible to participate in our 2000 Stock
Incentive Compensation Plan. Existing executive officers and
directors are not eligible to participate in our 2003
Nonqualified Stock Incentive Compensation Plan, but newly hired
executive officers may receive awards under this plan as an
inducement to accepting employment with Corillian. All option
grants to executive officers are approved by the Compensation
Committee. Guidelines for the number of options granted to
executive officers have been established, and are reviewed
periodically, by the Compensation Committee to ensure
competitiveness. Actual grants are based on individual
performance and contribution to our strategic success. No
options were granted during 2004. The Compensation Committee
granted options in the first quarter of 2005 that reflect
executive officer performance in 2004.
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m):
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 limits
to $1,000,000 per person the amount that Corillian may
deduct for compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and
four other highest compensated officers. Certain compensation,
including qualified performance-based compensation, will not be
subject to the deduction limit if certain requirements are met.
The Compensation Committee reviews the potential effect of
Section 162(m) periodically and generally seeks to
structure the long-term incentive compensation granted to
executive officers in a manner that is intended to avoid
disallowance of deductions under Section 162(m).
Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that compensation
attributable to awards we may grant in the future under
Corillians incentive compensation plans will be treated as
qualified performance-based compensation under Section l62(m).
In addition, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to
authorize compensation payments that may be subject to the limit
when we believes such payments are appropriate and in the best
interests of Corillian and our shareholders, after taking into
14
consideration changing business conditions and the performance
of these officers. For 2004, all compensation paid to executive
officers was deductible.

COMPARISON OF TOTAL CUMULATIVE SHAREHOLDER RETURN
The graph below compares the cumulative total shareholder return
on Corillians common stock with the cumulative total
return on the Nasdaq Composite U.S. Index and a peer group
of companies in the Corillians industry over the period
indicated, assuming the investment of $100 on April 12,
2000, the date of Corillians initial public offering, and
reinvestment of any dividends. The stock price performance
shown on the graph below is not necessarily indicative of future
price performance.
The selected peer group consists of S1 Corporation, Digital
Insight, Online Resources and Communications, Intelidata and
Jack Henry. Such companies have been selected for the peer group
on the basis of, among other factors, the similarity of their
business to Corillians business and their market
capitalization relative to Corillians market
capitalization.

independent, objective oversight of the Companys
accounting functions and internal controls. All of the members
of the Audit Committee are independent directors, are able to
read and understand financial statements and have experience in
finance and accounting that provide them with financial
sophistication.
|
|
|
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 assists the Board in oversight of
(1) the integrity of the Companys financial
statements, (2) the Companys compliance with legal
and regulatory requirements, (3) the independent registered
public accounting firms qualifications and independence,
(4) the performance of the Companys independent
registered public accounting firm and internal audit function

for senior financial officers and compliance with the
Companys code of conduct for all employees, officers and
directors. In addition, the Audit Committee has the sole
authority and responsibility to appoint, determine funding for,

registered public accounting firm.
In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee
reviewed, and met with management and the independent registered
public accounting firm to review and discuss, the
December 31, 2004 financial statements. The Audit Committee
also discussed with the independent registered public accounting
firm the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards
No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit
Committee also received written disclosures from the independent
registered public accounting firm required by Independence
Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions
with Audit Committees), and the Audit Committee discussed with
the independent registered public accounting firm that
firms independence.
Based upon the Audit Committees review of the financial
statements and discussions with management and the independent
registered public accounting firm, and the Audit
Committees review of the representations of management and
the independent registered public accounting firm, 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
