No family relationships exist between any of the directors or executive

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires OroAmerica's
executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a
registered class of OroAmerica's equity securities, to file reports of ownership
and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers,
directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by Securities
and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish OroAmerica with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on a review of these copies of these forms furnished to
OroAmerica, or written representations that no Forms 5 were required, OroAmerica
believes that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive
officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were complied
with during fiscal 2001.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Since September 30, 1993, directors who are not employees of OroAmerica
have been paid an annual fiscal year retainer of $10,000 plus $1,000 for each
Board meeting attended. The same compensation arrangements will apply in fiscal
2002. All directors are reimbursed for their travel expenses incurred in
attending Board or committee meetings.

Pursuant to the provisions of the OroAmerica, Inc. 1994 Directors' Stock
Option Plan, each new non-employee director, on the date of his or her election
to the Board of Directors, whether elected by the stockholders or the Board of
Directors, automatically will be granted a stock option to purchase 10,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of grant. Only one grant may be made under this
plan to each non-employee director. In accordance with the provisions of this
plan, on June 8, 2000, the date of his election to the Board of Directors at the
2000 Annual Meeting, Mr. Arzoian was granted a stock option to purchase 10,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.8125 per share, the fair
market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

On April 14, 1998, the Board of Directors adopted the Supplemental
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, which provides for automatic grants
to each non-employee

10-K405/A 4th Page of 11 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 4th

director of stock options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock commencing on
April 14, 1998, and continuing each time a non-employee director is re-elected
to the Board of Directors following the 1998 Annual Meeting. In accordance with
the provisions of this plan, on June 8, 2000, the date of their re-election to
the Board at the 2000 Annual Meeting, Mr. Massing and Mr. Rousso were each
granted a stock option to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock at an exercise
price of $6.8125 per share, the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant.

(1) The options were granted on December 14, 2000 under the 1998 Plan and are
subject to vesting over a three-year period, with 1/3 of the options
exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and an additional
1/3 of the options becoming exercisable on the second and third
anniversaries of the date of grant. The vesting of the options will be
accelerated upon a sale of substantially all of OroAmerica's assets, the
dissolution of OroAmerica or upon a change in the controlling stockholder
interest in OroAmerica resulting from a tender offer, reorganization,
merger or consolidation. On April 24, 2001, OroAmerica entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Aurafin LLC and its subsidiary, whereby
OroAmerica will be merged into this subsidiary (the "Merger"). At the
closing of the Merger, all of the options will vest and the option holders
will be entitled to receive cash payments in consideration of the
cancellation of the options.
(2) At the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the exercise price may be
paid by delivery of shares of common stock owned by the executive and
valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise, and the tax
withholding obligations related to the exercise of the stock options, if
any, may be satisfied by offset of the underlying shares, subject to
certain conditions. The Compensation Committee retains the discretion,
subject to plan limits, to modify the terms of outstanding options and to
reprice the options.
(3) The potential realizable values shown under these columns represent the
future value of the options (net of exercise price) assuming the market
price of the common stock appreciates annually by 5% and 10%. The 5% and
10% rates of appreciation are prescribed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and are not intended to forecast possible future appreciation of
OroAmerica's common stock.
(4) Includes an option to purchase 21,875 shares that was granted in December
2000 subject to the stockholders approving an amendment increasing the
number of shares of common stock issuable under the 1998 Plan. This
condition will not apply if the Merger is consummated and the options are
cancelled in exchange for cash as provided above.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS

Since September 30, 1993, Mr. Benhamou has served as Chairman of the Board,
Chief Executive Officer and President pursuant to an employment agreement that
automatically renews for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either
party. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Benhamou receives an annual salary
of $750,000 (based on a 52-week fiscal year) and a bonus in an amount determined
by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Benhamou also is
entitled to a bonus pursuant to the 1994 Chief Executive Officer Bonus Plan
approved by stockholders in July 1994. See "Compensation Committee Report on
Executive Compensation". In addition to salary and bonus, OroAmerica is required
to provide Mr. Benhamou with the use of an automobile and pay all expenses
incurred in connection with the automobile.

In August 1996, OroAmerica entered into an agreement with Mr. Shao which
provides for payments to him in the event of a change in control of OroAmerica.
Under the agreement, Mr. Shao will be entitled to certain payments from
OroAmerica if his employment is terminated following a change in control of
OroAmerica, unless the termination is (i) because of his death or disability,
(ii) by OroAmerica for "Cause" (as defined in the agreement) or (iii) by Mr.
Shao other than for "Good Reason" (as defined in the agreement). The agreement
with Mr. Shao provides for a payment of three times the average of his annual
salary and bonus for the three fiscal years immediately preceding the change in
control, reduced to the extent necessary to prevent the payments made to Mr.
Shao from exceeding the limits imposed by Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986. No termination benefit is required to be paid if Mr. Shao's
employment terminates prior to a change in control. A change in control occurred
when OroAmerica signed the merger agreement with Aurafin LLC and its subsidiary.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors was established on
September 30, 1993, and currently consists of Mr. Rousso and Mr. Arzoian, who
are non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee sets OroAmerica's
compensation policies applicable to executive officers and administers
OroAmerica's bonus plans and stock option plans. The Compensation Committee does
not administer the 1994 Directors' Stock Option Plan or the Supplemental
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan, both of which are administered by the
Board. The Compensation Committee has prepared the following report for
inclusion in this annual report.

10-K405/A 7th Page of 11 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 7th

Compensation Policy for Executive Officers

The policy of the Compensation Committee is to provide each executive
officer current cash compensation that is reasonable and consistent with
OroAmerica's size, industry and performance, and long-term incentive
compensation, in the form of stock options, based on the increase in value of
OroAmerica's common stock. In addition to salary, current cash compensation
includes a bonus based in part on OroAmerica's current annual performance and in
part on the executive's individual performance.

Compensation of Chief Executive Officer

Since the completion of OroAmerica's initial public offering in September
1993, Mr. Benhamou's salary has been fixed by his employment agreement. Mr.
Benhamou also is entitled under the contract to a bonus determined by the Board
of Directors or the Compensation Committee in its discretion. The Board has
delegated this responsibility to the Compensation Committee.

In keeping with the Compensation Committee's objective of rewarding
executive officers based on corporate performance, and in order to assure the
deductibility to OroAmerica of amounts paid to Mr. Benhamou, in March 1994, the
Compensation Committee adopted the 1994 Chief Executive Officer Bonus Plan (the
"Bonus Plan"), which was approved by stockholders in July 1994. The Bonus Plan
provides for the payment to Mr. Benhamou of an annual bonus based on a
percentage of the amount by which income before income taxes (before the payment
of Mr. Benhamou's bonus) ("Pretax Income") for the applicable year exceeds $5.0
million, calculated as follows: 2% of Pretax Income in excess of $5.0 million up
to $8.0 million; plus 4% of Pretax Income in excess of $8.0 million up to $15.0
million; plus 6% of Pretax Income in excess of $15.0 million. A bonus of
$206,524 was paid to Mr. Benhamou pursuant to the Bonus Plan for fiscal 2001.

Mr. Benhamou has not been awarded any stock options by OroAmerica, although
he is eligible to participate in OroAmerica's option plans. Mr. Benhamou also
participates in OroAmerica's defined contribution plan.

Compensation of Other Executive Officers

For fiscal 2001, compensation paid to Mr. Shao, OroAmerica's only executive
officer other than Mr. Benhamou, consisted of a base salary, bonus and
contributions to a defined contribution plan. Mr. Shao's base salary for fiscal
2001 was determined by the Compensation Committee, based on Mr. Benhamou's
recommendations. In determining Mr. Shao's salary, Mr. Benhamou and the
Compensation Committee considered available information about the pay scales of
other companies in the jewelry industry. The Compensation Committee believes
that Mr. Shao's salary is comparable to the salaries of executives with similar
experience and responsibilities in the jewelry industry.

Bonuses to executive officers and key employees other than Mr. Benhamou are
awarded pursuant to OroAmerica's Executive/Key Employee Bonus Plan, which was
adopted based on the recommendations of a compensation consulting firm. Under
this plan, participating executives and key employees may receive a cash bonus
calculated as a percentage of their base salary, with the applicable percentage
determined by reference to the income before income

10-K405/A 8th Page of 11 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 8th

taxes of OroAmerica for the applicable fiscal year and individual performance
measures which are intended to recognize individual contributions as reflected
by the level of the executive's responsibilities, his or her effectiveness in
overseeing the matters under his or her supervision and the degree to which he
or she has contributed to the accomplishment of major corporate goals. For Mr.
Shao and certain non-executive officers, 50% of the bonus is based on company
performance, and 50% of the bonus is based on individual performance. For
certain other non-executive officers, the bonus is based 25% on company
performance and 75% on individual performance. For the fiscal year ended
February 2, 2001, the income before income taxes targets and the individual
performance measures were determined by the Compensation Committee, based on Mr.
Benhamou's recommendations.

Stock Option Plan

OroAmerica's stock option program provides additional incentives to key
employees to maximize stockholder value and provides a link between the
interests of senior managers and stockholders. By utilizing vesting periods, the
option program encourages key employees to remain in the employ of OroAmerica
and provides a long-term perspective to the compensation available under the
option program. The Compensation Committee determines the number of option
shares to be granted to each participating employee based upon his or her level
of responsibility, a review of OroAmerica's overall performance and prior
grants. Stock options to purchase a total of 100,000 shares of common stock were
awarded to Mr. Shao in Fiscal 2001, each with an exercise price equal to the
current market price on the date of grant.

Internal Revenue Code Provisions

The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the anticipated tax
treatment to OroAmerica regarding the compensation and benefits paid to
OroAmerica's executive officers in light of the 1993 additions to Section 162(m)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, ("Section 162(m)"). The Compensation
Committee from time to time will consider amendments to OroAmerica's
compensation programs necessary to preserve the deductibility of all
compensation paid by OroAmerica which is subject to Section 162(m). While
OroAmerica does not expect to pay its executive officers compensation in fiscal
2002 in excess of the Section 162(m) deductibility limit, the Board of Directors
and the Compensation Committee retain discretion to authorize the payment of
compensation that does not qualify for income tax deductibility under Section
162(m).

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

In August 1998, OroAmerica loaned $190,000 to Mr. Shao to assist him in
exercising an incentive stock option which was about to expire. The loan is
