CANEUM INC - 8-K - 20070104 - ENTRY_MATERIAL_AGREEMENT
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Effective December 29, 2006, we entered into a series of transactions in connection with the
acquisition of Continuum Systems Private Limited, an Indian corporation (Continuum). Through our
wholly owned subsidiary, Caneum Asia Pacific PTE. LTD. (Caneum Asia Pacific), formed by us in
Singapore on December 21, 2006, we entered into agreements to
acquire 55% of Continuum as of closing on December 31, 2006, and entered into an agreement to
acquire the remaining 45% on or before June 30, 2007. At closing, scheduled for December 31, 2006,
we agreed to purchase 45% of the outstanding stock of Continuum from Iain Allison, the Director of
Strategic Alliances for Continuum, for 446,669 shares of our common stock pursuant to a
Stock-for-Stock Exchange Agreement dated December 29, 2006, and we agreed to purchase 10% of
Continuums outstanding stock from Neeraj Sehgal, the Director of IT Solutions for Continuum, for
$50,000 pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 29, 2006. We also agreed to purchase
the remaining 45% of the outstanding stock of Continuum from a company to be formed in Singapore by
Jesper Lindorff (JLSing), for $70,000 on or before June 30, 2007, pursuant to an Agreement to
Purchase Stock dated December 29, 2006.
Prior to the acquisition transaction with Continuum, neither we nor any affiliate of our
company had had any material relationship with Continuum other than in respect of the acquisition
transaction and agreements.
Each of the acquisition agreements with Messrs Allison, Sehgal, and JLSing contained standard
representations and warrants by the parties relating to the ownership of their shares of Continuum
and by Continuum relating to its assets and operations. We also made representations and
warranties common to this type of acquisition transaction. The parties also mutually agreed to
indemnify one another in the event of breach of these representations and warranties or for actions
by third parties.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition of Assets
On December 31, 2006, we closed the acquisition agreements with Iain Allison and Neeraj Sehgal
and acquired 55% of the outstanding stock of Continuum. We issued 446,669 shares of our common
stock, valued at $303,735, to Iain Allison for his 45% interest in Continuum and paid $50,000 for
the 10% interest held by Neeraj Sehgal. As a result of the closing of the Stock-for-Stock Exchange
Agreement with Mr. Allison and the Stock Purchase Agreement with Mr. Sehgal, Continuum became a
majority owned subsidiary of Caneum Asia Pacific, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Caneum.
As a result of the closing, and pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements, Suki
Mudan, our President, and Gary Allhusen, our COO, were appointed to serve as directors of Continuum
with Mr. Lindorff.

Effective with the closing of the acquisition agreements, we entered into a two-year renewable
Marketing Agreement dated December 31, 2006, with Mr. Allison whereby we agreed to compensate him
with commissions of 8% on all sales by Continuum up to $2,000,000 that he sources and 10% top line
commission on all sales in excess of $2,000,000. We also agreed to provide him with incentive
payments of our common stock over the term of our Marketing Agreement. We have agreed to grant him
an incentive bonus of 297,794 shares of our common stock on December 31, 2007 and 248,162 shares on
December 31, 2008. The incentive bonuses are subject to certain conditions. If Continuum fails to
generate gross revenue for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2007, or for the
twelve-month period ending December 31, 2008, equal to or greater than the gross revenue generated
by Continuum during the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, then the number of shares of common stock to be delivered to
Mr. Allison for the first and second year payments will be proportionately reduced. Also, if the
Marketing Agreement is terminated by us for cause on or before the first or second anniversary of
the agreement, any unpaid incentive payment or payments will be forfeited. In the event of certain
corporate transactions which result in a change of control of our company, the incentive payments
may become immediately due and payable.
Also effective with the closing of the acquisition agreements, Continuum entered into a
two-year renewable employment agreement with Neeraj Sehgal to continue his services as Director of
IT Solutions and we entered into a two-year renewable Consulting Agreement dated December 31, 2006,
with a company to be formed in Singapore by Mr. Sehgal (NSing), whereby we agreed to pay a fee of
$3,000 per month and grant a signing bonus of 25,735 shares of our common stock and 100,000
ten-year options under our 2002 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the Plan). The options are
exercisable at $0.59 per share and are subject to vesting at the rate of

after one year and 1/48th of the granted options per month thereafter. In addition, we also agreed
to provide incentive payments of our common stock over the term of the Consulting Agreement. We
granted NSing an incentive bonus of 66,177 shares of our common stock payable on December 31, 2007
and 55,147 shares on December 31, 2007. The incentive bonuses are subject to the same terms as the
