Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On or around February 18, 2010, with an effective date of March 1, 2010, Acies Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) entered into an employment agreement with Steven Wolberg, the Company’s Director, who was appointed the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer (as described below)(the “Wolberg Employment Agreement”).

The Wolberg Employment Agreement, provides for Mr. Wolberg to serve the Company as its Chief Strategy Officer as well as the Chief Strategy Officer of Acies, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, for a period of three years, ending on February 28, 2013 (unless terminated previously as provided in the agreement and described below).  

We agreed to pay Mr. Wolberg compensation of $200,000 per year, and that Mr. Wolberg would have the right, at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors, to receive an annual incentive bonus of up to a maximum of 70% of Mr. Wolberg’s annual base salary and an annual discretionary bonus of up to 30% of Mr. Wolberg’s base salary.  Finally, the employment agreement provided that we would reimburse Mr. Wolberg for a whole life insurance policy naming Mr. Wolberg’s designee as beneficiary of up to $1,350 per month and provide Mr. Wolberg a car allowance of up to $1,500 per month.

The employment agreement can be terminated by Mr. Wolberg for “cause” (as defined therein), by the Company for “good reason” as defined therein, by the mutual consent of the parties, or by any party at any time for any reason.  The employment agreement is also terminated by Mr. Wolberg’s death or his disability (as described therein).  In the event the agreement is terminated for “cause” by the Company, without “good reason” by Mr. Wolberg, or by mutual agreement, Mr. Wolberg is to be paid any earned but unpaid salary, benefits or bonuses, and reimbursement for any business expenses paid by Mr. Wolberg (the “Accrued Obligations”).  In the event that Mr. Wolberg’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, he (or his heirs) are to receive the Accrued Obligations and up to 12 months of COBRA health coverage reimbursement (the “COBRA Coverage”).  In the event the employment agreement is terminated without “cause” by the Company or for “good reason” by Mr. Wolberg, he is to receive the Accrued Obligations, the COBRA Coverage, and the greater of 12 months of salary or the remaining salary due to him under the term of the agreement.

We also agreed to grant Mr. Wolberg stock options to purchase 30,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (as described below) in consideration for Mr. Wolberg agreeing to serve as Chief Strategy Officer of the Company and in consideration for previous services rendered to the Company.  

Item 3.02.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On or around February 18, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Steven Wolberg as the Chief Strategy Officer of the Company. In connection with and in consideration for such appointment, as well as previous services rendered to the Company, the Company granted Mr. Wolberg stock options to purchase an aggregate of 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Wolberg Options”).  The Wolberg Options are exercisable for five years from the date of the appointment, vested immediately, and contain a cashless exercise provision. The Company claims an exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, since the foregoing grant did not involve a public offering, the recipient took the securities for investment and not resale and we took appropriate measures to restrict transfer.
