PROXY
STATEMENT
2009 ANNUAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS
Diguang
International Development Co., Ltd., the “Company”, is furnishing this proxy
statement and the enclosed proxy in connection with the solicitation of proxies
by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders to be held on November 25, 2009, Wednesday, at 10 a.m. local time,
at 23/F, Building A, Galaxy Century, No. 3069 Caitian Road, Futian
District, Shenzhen, P.R. China/Post Code: 518026, and at any adjournments
thereof, the “Annual Meeting”. These materials will be mailed to stockholders on
or about October 15, 2009.
Important Notice Regarding the
Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholders Meeting to be Held on
November 25, 2009 — the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy
Statement are available at
www.shareholdermaterial.com/DGNG
Only
holders of the Company’s common stock as of the close of business on October 9,
2009, the “Record Date”, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Stockholders who hold shares of the Company in “street name” may vote at the
Annual Meeting only if they hold a valid proxy from their broker. As of the
Record Date, there were approximately 22,072,000 shares of common stock
outstanding.
A
majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting must be present in person or by proxy in order for there to be a
quorum at the meeting. Stockholders of record who are present at the meeting in
person or by proxy and who abstain from voting, including brokers holding
customers’ shares of record who cause abstentions to be recorded at the meeting,
will be included in the number of stockholders present at the meeting for
purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
Each
stockholder of record is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting for each
share of common stock held by such stockholder on the Record Date. Stockholders
do not have cumulative voting rights. Stockholders may vote their shares by
using the proxy card enclosed with this proxy statement. All proxy cards
received by the Company, which are properly signed and have not been revoked
will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained in the proxy cards.
If a signed proxy card is received which does not specify a vote or an
abstention, the shares represented by that proxy card will be voted for the
nominees to the Board of Directors listed on the proxy card and in this proxy
statement, and for the ratification of the appointment of BDO Guangdong Dahua
Delu CPAs as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2009. The Company is not aware, as of the date hereof, of any
matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting other than those stated in this
proxy statement and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
If any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the
enclosed proxy card gives discretionary authority to the persons named as
proxies to vote the shares represented by the proxy card in their
discretion.
Under
Nevada law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, if a
quorum exists at the meeting, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes
cast at the meeting is required for the election of directors. A properly
executed proxy marked “Withhold authority” with respect to the election of one
or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors
indicated, although it will be counted for purposes of determining whether there
is a quorum. For each other item, the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on
the item will be required for approval. A properly executed proxy marked
“Abstain” with respect to any such matter will not be voted, although it will be
counted for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum. Accordingly, an
abstention will have the effect of a negative vote.
For
shares held in “street name” through a broker or other nominee, the broker or
nominee may not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to some
of the matters to be acted upon. Thus, if stockholders do not give their broker
or nominee specific instructions, their shares may not be voted on those matters
and will not be counted in determining the number of shares necessary for
approval. Shares represented by such “broker non-votes” will, however, be
counted in determining whether there is a quorum.
A
stockholder of record may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted at the
Annual Meeting by (a) delivering a proxy revocation or another duly
executed proxy bearing a later date to Mr. Wang Hua, the Secretary of the
Company, at 23/F, Building A, Galaxy Century, No. 3069 Caitian Road, Futian
District, Shenzhen, P.R. China, or (b) attending the Annual Meeting and
voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not revoke a proxy
unless the stockholder actually votes in person at the
meeting.
The proxy
card accompanying this proxy statement is solicited by the Board of Directors of
the Company. The Company will pay all of the costs of soliciting proxies. In
addition to solicitation by mail, officers, directors and employees of the
Company may solicit proxies personally, or by telephone, without receiving
additional compensation. The Company, if requested, will also pay brokers, banks
and other fiduciaries who hold shares of Common Stock for beneficial owners for
their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of forwarding these materials to
stockholders.

DIRECTOR
NOMINATION
Criteria
for Board Membership. In recommending candidates for appointment or re-election
to the Board, the nominating committee, the “nominating committee”, considers
the appropriate balance of experience, skills and characteristics required of
the Board of Directors. It seeks to ensure that at least three directors are
independent under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, that members of the
Company’s audit committee meet the financial literacy and sophistication
requirements under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, and at least one member
of the Board qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Nominees for director are recommended
on the basis of their depth and breadth of experience, integrity, ability to
make independent analytical inquiries, understanding of the Company’s business
environment, and willingness to devote adequate time to Board
duties.
Stockholder
Nominees. The nominating committee will consider written proposals from
stockholders for nominees for director. Any such nominations should be submitted
to the nominating committee c/o Mr. Wang Hua, the Secretary of the Company, and
should include the following information: (a) all information relating to
such nominee that is required to be disclosed pursuant to Regulation 14A
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (including such person’s written
consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a
director if elected); (b) the names and addresses of the stockholders
making the nomination and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock
which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholders; and
(c) appropriate biographical information and a statement as to the
qualification of the nominee, and should be submitted in the time frame
described in the Bylaws of the Company and under the caption, “Stockholder
Proposals for 2010 Annual Meeting” below.
Process
for Identifying and Evaluating Nominees. The nominating committee believes the
company is well-served by its current directors. In the ordinary course, absent
special circumstances or a material change in the criteria for Board membership,
the nominating committee will re-nominate incumbent directors who continue to be
qualified for Board service and are willing to continue as directors. If an
incumbent director is not standing for re-election, or if a vacancy on the Board
occurs between annual stockholder meetings, the nominating committee will seek
out potential candidates for Board appointment who meet the criteria for
selection as a nominee and have the specific qualities or skills being sought.
Director candidates will be selected based on input from members of the Board,
senior management of the company and, if the nominating committee deems
appropriate, a third-party search firm. The nominating committee will evaluate
each candidate's qualifications and check relevant references; in addition, such
candidates will be interviewed by at least one member of the nominating
committee. Candidates meriting serious consideration will meet with all members
of the Board. Based on this input, the nominating committee will evaluate which
of the prospective candidates is qualified to serve as a director and whether
the committee should recommend to the Board that this candidate be appointed to
fill a current vacancy on the Board, or presented for the approval of the
stockholders, as appropriate.
The
Company has never received a proposal from a stockholder to nominate a director.
Although the nominating committee has not adopted a formal policy with respect
to stockholder nominees, the committee expects that the evaluation process for a
stockholder nominee would be similar to the process outlined above.
Board Nominees for the 2009 Annual
Meeting.
Mr. Yi Song, Mr. Hong Song, Mr. Tuen-Ping Yang, Fong Heung Sang
and Hoi S. Kwok are current directors standing for re-election.

On
December 29, 2007, Diguang Holdings entered into a sale and purchase agreement
with Sino Olympics Industrial Limited, “Sino Olympics”, and Shenzhen Diguang
Engine & Equipment Co., Ltd., “Shenzhen Diguang”, to acquire a 100% interest
in Dongguan Diguang Electronics Science and Technology Co. Ltd., “Dongguan
Diguang S&T”. The closing date of the acquisition was December 30, 2007,
which was deemed to be the date for the purpose of financial consolidation.
Pursuant to local law, the acquisition was not effective until the registration
of change of shareholders was approved by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau
in Dongguan, Administration of Foreign investment in enterprises in Dongguan and
State Administration in Foreign Exchange. On January 1, 2008, Diguang Holdings
assigned 70% of interest in Dongguan Diguang S&T to Diguang
Electronics.
The above
acquisition was approved by the independent directors of the Company at its
board of directors’ meeting held on November 28, 2007.
The
purchase price of Dongguan Diguang S&T was $4.2 million, of which $2 million
was paid in 2007. The remaining $2.2 million should be repaid through four
installment payments on June 30, 2008, December 31, 2008, March 31, 2009 and
June 30, 2009, respectively. The Company paid $ 1,332,395 to Sino Olympics
during the year ended December 31, 2008. Among the payment of $ 1,332,395, $1.1
million was purchase price paid as agreed in the purchase agreement; $137,875
was accrued interest paid in accordance with the purchase agreement; and the
remaining $94,520 was paid by Diguang Electronics on behalf of Sino Olympics for
withholding capital gain tax during the sale and purchase transaction of
Dongguan Diguang S&T. The outstanding balance due to stockholders was
the last two installments of payment of the purchase price, paid on March 31,
2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
For all
related transactions, the Company’s Audit Committee will review the proposals
submitted by the interested directors who will abstain from the discussion and
voting relating to these related transactions.
SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Under
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
and SEC rules, the Company’s directors, executive officers and beneficial owners
of more than 10% of any class of equity security are required to file periodic
reports of their ownership, and changes in that ownership, with the SEC. Based
solely on its review of copies of these reports and representations of such
reporting persons, the Company believes that during fiscal year 2009, such
SEC filing requirements were satisfied.
EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
Compensation
Discussion And Analysis
Compensation
Philosophy
The
Company’s Compensation Committee is empowered to review and approve the annual
compensation and compensation procedures for the executive officers of the
Company. The primary goals of the Compensation Committee with respect to
executive compensation are to attract, retain and motivate the most talented and
dedicated executives possible, encourage high performance, and to align
executives’ and employees’ incentives with stockholder value
creation.
Currently,
executive compensation comprises of base salaries competitive with comparable
manufacturers in China. The Compensation Committee may award bonuses to
encourage executives to focus on the achievement of specific short-term
corporate goals and set compensation at levels the committee believes are
comparable with executives in other companies of similar size and stage of
development operating in similar industry while taking into account the
Company’s relative performance and its own strategic goals and reward them for
their achievement. The Compensation Committee may award stock options and reward
management for performance, which benefits the Company’s shareholders. The
Compensation Committee may use traditional measures of corporate performance,
such as earnings per share or sales growth, in reviewing performance of
executives.
The
Company has not retained a compensation consultant to review its policies and
procedures with respect to executive compensation. The Company conducts an
annual review of the aggregate level of its executive compensation, as well as
the mix of elements used to compensate its executive officers. The Company
compares compensation levels with amounts currently being paid to executives in
its industry and most importantly with local practices in China. The Company is
satisfied that its compensation levels are competitive with local
conditions.
Base
Salary
Base
salary ranges are reviewed annually and adjustments are made at the beginning of
the fiscal year to reflect changes in position responsibilities or market
conditions. When establishing or reviewing compensation levels for each
executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers numerous factors,
including the qualifications of the executive, his or her level of relevant
experience, specific operating roles and duties and strategic goals for which
the executive has responsibility.
Base
salaries for the Company’s executives are established based on the scope of
their responsibilities, taking into account competitive market compensation.
Generally, the Company believes that executive base salaries should be targeted
near the median of the range of salaries for executives in similar positions
with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, in line with its
compensation philosophy. In setting annual base salaries, the Compensation
Committee also reviews and evaluates the performance of the department or
activity for which the executive has responsibility, the impact of that
department or activity on the Company and the skills and experience required for
the job, coupled with a comparison of these elements with similar elements for
peer executives both inside and outside the Company. Adjustments to each
individual’s base salary are made in connection with annual performance
reviews.
Discretionary
Bonuses
The
Compensation Committee has the authority to award discretionary annual bonuses
to the Company’s executive officers under the Compensation Committee Charter. So
far, no discretionary bonus has been awarded. Bonuses, if they are awarded, are
intended to compensate officers for achieving financial and operational goals
and for achieving individual annual performance objectives. These objectives
vary depending on the individual executive, but relate generally to strategic
factors such as the financial performance, results of operation and per share
performance of the Company’s common stock.
The
Company’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer are eligible for a
discretionary annual bonus, the specific amount of which will be determined by
the Compensation Committee. The actual amount of discretionary bonus is
determined following a review of each executive’s individual performance and
contribution to the Company’s strategic goals conducted during the first quarter
of each fiscal year. The Compensation Committee has not fixed a maximum payout
for any officers’ annual discretionary bonus.
Long-Term
Incentive Program
The
Company believes that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership
culture that encourages such performance by its key employees through the use of
stock options. The Company’s stock compensation plan has been established to
provide certain of its employees with incentives to help align those employees’
interests with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee
believes that the use of stock options offers the best approach to achieving the
Company’s compensation goals. The Company has not adopted stock ownership
guidelines. The Company believes that the annual aggregate value of these awards
should be set near competitive median levels for comparable
companies.
Stock
Options
Diguang
International Holdings Limited’s, “Diguang Holdings”, outstanding 2006 stock
incentive plan, “Diguang 2006 Option Plan”, covers options totaling the
equivalent of 1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During 2007, the
Company granted options to purchase 26,000 shares of its common stock. As of
December 31, 2008, 407,417 of options to purchase the Company’s common stock
(net of forfeitures) were outstanding, and options to purchase 934,000 shares
remained available for grant. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated
Share Exchange Agreement, the Company assumed Diguang Holdings’s outstanding
2006 stock incentive plan covering options totaling the equivalent of 1,500,000
shares of its common stock. The exercise price for each of these options is
$5.00 per share. The commencement date for these options is March 1, 2006, with
monthly vesting at the end of each month after March 1, 2006, for grants to the
three independent directors and yearly vesting for grants to the chief financial
officer and other employees of Diguang Holdings. The options that have been
issued expire ten years from their grant date (which date is February 25, 2006
or the date the optionee commences his or her service relationship with us,
whichever is the later date).
One-twelfth
of the option to purchase in aggregate 300,000 shares of the Company’s common
stock granted by the Board of Directors on December 17, 2008 to the Company’s
current Chief Operating Officer would become vested on the first day of each of
the 12 consecutive quarters starting from January 1, 2009 until all of the
options are vested.
In order
to motivate the Company’s employees to achieve the fixed operation targets in
2009, on December 9, 2008 the board approved the granting of the Incentive
Option Shares in 2009 to the employees of the Company, totaling up to 548,000
shares.
The
number of stock options to be granted to the employees in 2009 is connected with
his or her annual target achievements and responsible projections, and the
person who can achieve all the annual achievements will be entitled to all the
granted stock options, and the person who partially achieves the annual
achievements will be entitled to a partial granted stock option. If
the employee fails to achieve the target completely, no stock options would be
granted.
As of
July 10, 2009, the Board of Directors approved and granted option to Mr. Chen
Min, a Consultant of the Company, to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock. Vesting of the full option commenced on August 1,
2009.
The
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
123R, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which establishes a fair value
method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans. In accordance with SFAS
No. 123R, the cost of stock options and warrants issued to employees is measured
at the grant date based on the fair value. The fair value is determined using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The resulting amount is charged to
expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects
to receive benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Stock
Appreciation Rights
The
Company currently does not have any Stock Appreciation Rights Plan that
authorizes us to grant stock appreciation rights.
Other
Compensation.
The
Company’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer who were parties
to employment agreements prior to the filing of this proxy statement will
continue to be parties to such employment agreements in their current form until
such time as the Compensation Committee determines in its discretion that
revisions to such employment agreements are advisable. There has been no
employment agreement with the Company’s previous chief financial officer. Other
than the annual salary stipulated in the employment agreements of the Company’s
chief executive officer and chief operating officer and the bonus that may be
awarded to them at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and other than
the annual salary and the stock options granted to the Company’s chief financial
officer, the Company does not have any other benefits and perquisites for its
executive officers; however, the Compensation Committee in its discretion may
provide benefits and perquisites to these executive officers if it deems it
advisable. The Company currently has no plans to change the employment
agreements (except as required by law or as required to clarify the benefits to
which its executive officers are entitled as set forth herein) or to extend
benefits and perquisites.
Executive
Officer Compensation and Chief Executive Officer’s Compensation
In
setting compensation payable for fiscal year 2009 and planning the compensation
payable for fiscal year 2009 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yi
Song, and to the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee reviewed
the importance of each executive officer’s individual achievements in meeting
the Company’s goals and objectives set for the prior fiscal year as well as the
overall achievement of the goals by the entire company.
The
determination by the Compensation Committee of the Chief Executive Officer’s
remuneration is based upon methods consistent with those used for other
executive officers. The Compensation Committee considers certain quantitative
factors, including the Company’s financial, strategic, and operating performance
for the year as well as certain qualitative criteria including leadership
qualities and management skills, as exhibited by innovations, time and effort
devoted to the Company and other general considerations in determining
appropriate compensation of the Chief Executive Officer.
In 2009,
the Compensation Committee continued Mr. Yi Song’s annualized salary
approximately at $200,000. The Compensation Committee did not grant any stock
option to Mr. Song. In determining Mr. Song’s 2008 compensation, including
whether to grant stock options to him, the Compensation Committee considered Mr.
Song’s overall compensation package as compared with other chief executive
officers in the Company’s industry, as well as the effectiveness of Mr. Song’s
leadership of the Company.
The
Compensation Committee believes that the continued commitment and leadership of
its executive officers through fiscal year 2009 were and continue to be
important factors in the achievements of the Company.
Compliance
with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m)
of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deductibility by a corporation
of compensation in excess of $1 million paid to any of its five most highly
compensated executive officers. However, compensation which qualifies as
“performance-based” is excluded from the $1 million limit if, among other
requirements, the compensation is payable only upon attainment of
pre-established, objective performance goals under a plan approved by
stockholders. The Compensation Committee does not presently expect total cash
compensation payable for salaries to exceed the $1 million limit for any
individual executive. It is the current policy of the Compensation Committee to
maximize, to the extent reasonably possible, the Company’s ability to obtain a
corporate tax deduction for compensation paid to its executive officers to the
extent consistent with the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.

Audit
Committee’s Pre-Approval Policy
During
fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors adopted policies and procedures for the pre-approval of all audit and
non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent auditor and for
the prohibition of certain services from being provided by the independent
auditor. The Company may not engage the Company’s independent auditor to render
any audit or non-audit service unless the service is approved in advance by the
Audit Committee or the engagement to render the service is entered into pursuant
to the Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. On an annual
basis, the Audit Committee may pre-approve services that are expected to be
provided to the Company by the independent auditor during the fiscal year. At
the time such pre-approval is granted, the Audit Committee specifies the
pre-approved services and establishes a monetary limit with respect to each
particular pre-approved service, which limit may not be exceeded without
obtaining further pre-approval under the policy. For any pre-approval, the Audit
Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission on auditor independence.
