The Company hereby incorporates by reference into this
Registration Statement the following documents filed by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission"):
(a) The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended October 31, 1993;
(b) The Company's Forms 8-K, dated December 6, 1993,
January 14, 1994, April 18, 1994, July 13, 1994 and July 25, 1994.
(c) The Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its
fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1994;
(d) The Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its
fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1994;
(e) The Company's Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for its
fiscal quarter ended July 31, 1994;
(f) The Company's Proxy Statement dated February 4, 1994.
All documents subsequently filed by the Company with the
Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act), prior to
the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
and to be a part hereof from the respective dates of the filing of such
documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or
superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a
statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document
which also is incorporated or is deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so
modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or
superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
With respect to the unaudited consolidated financial information
of SafeCard Services, Incorporated for the fiscal quarters ended January
31, 1994, April 30, 1994 and July 31, 1994, incorporated by reference in
this registration statement, Price Waterhouse LLP reported that they have
applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a
review of such information. However, their separate reports dated February
25, 1994, June 13, 1994 and August 18, 1994 incorporated by reference
herein, state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on
that unaudited consolidated financial information. Price Waterhouse LLP
has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those
which would have been necessary if their reports had not been included.
Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information
should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review
procedures applied. Price Waterhouse LLP is not subject to the liability
provisions of section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 for their reports on
the unaudited consolidated financial information because those reports are
not a "report" or a "part" of the registration statement prepared or
certified by Price Waterhouse LLP within the meaning of sections 7 and 11
of the Act.
Item 4. Description of Securities
- ------- -------------------------
General
-------
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance
of 35,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. The Common
Stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol
SSI.
Certain characteristics of the Common Stock are described below.
The Company may pay dividends on the Common Stock when, as and if
declared by its Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor,
subject to certain restrictions. The holders of Common Stock will be
entitled to receive and share equally in such dividends as may be declared
by the Board of Directors.
The Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.05
per share payable on September 30, 1994 to stockholders of record on
September 21, 1994. The Board has adopted a policy of declaring cash
dividends of $.05 per share on a quarterly basis. This policy is subject to
change at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
Shares of Common Stock are non-assessable upon payment therefor.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company,
each holder of Common Stock would be entitled to receive, after payment of
all debts and liabilities of the Company, a pro-rata portion of all assets
of the Company available for distribution to holders of Common Stock.
Holders of Common Stock do not have any preemptive rights.
Voting and Election of Directors
--------------------------------
Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share
held on all matters voted upon by stockholders. The Company's Certificate
of Incorporation does not give stockholders the right to vote for directors
cumulatively. The Company's directors are divided into three classes
serving three year terms, with each class as equal in number as possible
and only one class elected each year.
Certain Change in Control Provisions
------------------------------------
The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company contain
certain provisions which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of the Company in the absence of the
approval of the Company's Board of Directors or otherwise. These
provisions include the following: the Company's Board of Directors shall be
classified into three classes of approximately equal number having
staggered terms of three years each. Special meetings of stockholders may
be called only by the Chairman of the Board or upon the written request of
a majority of the Board of Directors. Such request shall state the purposes
of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at the special meeting shall
be limited to the purposes stated in the request. Stockholder proposals
and nominations for the election of directors at any meeting of
stockholders must be submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company
in accordance with prescribed procedures and must be received within
certain prescribed time periods. For example, notice of a stockholder
proposal to be brought before the annual meeting must be delivered to, or
mailed and received at, the Company's principal executive offices not less
than sixty days nor more than ninety days prior to the scheduled annual
meeting. Such notice to the Secretary shall contain (i) a brief
description of the proposal desired to be brought before the annual meeting
and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii)
the name and address of the stockholders proposing such business and any
other stockholders known by such stockholder to be supporting such
proposal, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Common Stock
beneficially owned by the stockholder on the date of such
stockholder notice and by any other stockholders known by such stockholder
to be supporting such proposal on the date of such stockholder notice, and
(iv) any financial interest of the stockholder in such proposal.
In addition, the Company's Bylaws provide that they may only be
amended or repealed by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of
the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote or by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
- ----------------------------
The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American
Stock Transfer & Trust Company of New York.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
- ------- --------------------------------------
Not Applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
- ------- -----------------------------------------
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
generally provides the Company broad powers to indemnify its directors,
officers, employees and agents.
Section 145(a) provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in
the right of a corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or
was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action,
suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that
he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
if he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was
unlawful.
Section 145(b) provides that a corporation may indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that
he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in
a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall
be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to
the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case,
such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses which the court deems proper.
Section 145(c) provides that, to the extent that a director,
officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim,
issue or matter therein, he or she shall be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her
in connection therewith.
Section 145(d) provides that any indemnification under
Subsections 145(a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the
corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee
has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections (a) and
(b) of Section 145. Such determination shall be made (1) by the board of
directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is
not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors
so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by
the stockholders.
Section 145(e) provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by
the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director
or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that
he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as
authorized in Section 145.
Section 145(f) provides that the indemnification and
advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other
subsections of Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other
rights to which any director or officer seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in
his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding office.
Section 145(j) provides that the indemnification and advancement
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall, unless
otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who
has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of
the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
Article EIGHTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
provides that the Company shall to the full extent permitted by Section 145
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, indemnify all persons whom it may
indemnify pursuant thereto.
Article TWELFTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
provides that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to
the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of
the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for any improper payment of dividends
or any unlawful stock purchase or redemption as provided under Section 174
of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Article TWELFTH
further provides that no amendment or repeal of such article or adoption of
any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with Article
TWELFTH shall prejudice the exculpatory effect of Article TWELFTH with
respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of
such amendment, repeal or inconsistent provision.
Section 10 of Article V of the Company's By-Laws provides that
each person who is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries and each person who serves or may have served at the
request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (and the heirs,
executors, administrators and estates of any such persons), shall be
indemnified by the Company in accordance with and to the fullest extent
authorized by, the provisions of Delaware General Corporation Law as it may
from time to time be amended. Each person who is or was an employee or
agent of the Company, and each person who serves or may have served as an
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture trust
or other enterprise, may be similarly indemnified at the discretion of the
Board of Directors.
In addition to indemnification provided by statutes, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the Company has written
indemnity agreements with its directors and with certain of its officers.
In general, the written indemnity agreements provide broad protection to
the indemnitee, including, among other things, (i) mandatory advancement of
litigation expenses (including attorneys' fees), subject to an undertaking
by the indemnitee to repay such advances if it is later determined that he
or she is not entitled to indemnification; (ii) contribution toward the
amount incurred by the indemnitee under certain circumstances where
complete indemnification may otherwise be unavailable; (iii) continuation
of the maximum directors' and officers' liability insurance available to
the Company; and (iv) payment of expenses incurred by the indemnitee in
actions brought by the indemnitee under certain circumstances. The
indemnity agreements provide additional benefits in the event of a change
in control of the Company. The indemnity agreements also provide that no
action may be brought by or on behalf of the Company against the indemnitee
after the expiration of two years from the date of the accrual of such
action.

Item 9. Undertakings
- ------- ------------
(1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file during any period in which offers or sales of the
securities registered hereunder are being made, a post-effective amendment
to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration
Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration
Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act, (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act)
that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:
At your request, we have reviewed the Registration Statement of
SafeCard Services, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), dated September 22, 1994, on Form S-8 under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Registration Statement"). The
Registration Statement covers an aggregate of 200,000 shares of the
Company's common stock par value $0.01 per share (the "Common
Stock"), issuable upon exercise of options which have been or may
be granted to certain employees of the Company (the "Options").
We have examined the originals, or certified, confirmed or
reproduction copies, of all such records, agreements, instruments
and documents as we have deemed relevant or necessary as the basis
for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In all such examinations,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures on original or
certified copies and the conformity to original or certified copies
submitted to us as conformed or reproduction copies. As to various
questions of fact relevant to such opinion, we have relied upon
statements or certificates of public officials, officers or
representatives of the Company and others.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations set forth
herein, we are of the opinion that the 200,000 shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Options, when issued pursuant
to the terms of the Options and issued for not less than the par
value thereof, will be validly issued, paid and nonassessable.
We are members of The Florida Bar and do not hold ourselves out as
being conversant with the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
United States of America and the State of Florida, and, to the
extent required by the foregoing opinion, the General Law of the
State of Delaware.
We hereby consent to the filing of this letter as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and all amendments thereto.
Sincerely,
MAHONEY ADAMS & CRISER, P.A.
