This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the Board of Directors of HPSC, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or
"HPSC"), of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company
to be held, pursuant to the accompanying notice, on Monday, April 26, 1999 at
9:00 o'clock in the morning, in the America Room, 2nd Floor at BankBoston, 100
Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts and at any adjournment thereof (the
"Annual Meeting").

This proxy statement, form of proxy card and voting instructions will be
mailed starting on March 26, 1999. The Company's Annual Report to Stockholders
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 accompanies this proxy statement.

PROPOSAL ONE -- ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

HPSC's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of
Directors shall consist of not less than three nor more than twelve members, as
determined by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, and that
the Board shall be divided into three classes (Class I, Class II and Class III).
Directors of one class are elected each year to a term of three years. As of the
date of this proxy statement, the Board of Directors consists of eight members,
two of whom have terms which expire at this year's Annual Meeting (Class I),
three of whom have terms which expire at the 2000 Annual Meeting (Class II) and
three of whom have terms which expire at the 2001 Annual Meeting (Class III).

Mr. Weicker and Dr. McDougal are the two nominees for Class I directors. If
elected as Class I directors, Mr. Weicker and Dr. McDougal will have a
three-year term expiring at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Messrs.
Biernat, Cooley and Doherty will continue to serve as Class II directors. Their
term will expire at the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Messrs. Birchfield
and Everets and Ms. Cole will continue to serve as Class III directors. Their
term will expire at the 2001 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In each case a
director shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or
until his or her death, resignation or removal.

The nominees for Class I directors to be voted on at this Annual Meeting
have advised the Company that they will serve if elected. If either of the
nominees for Class I director becomes unavailable (which is not now anticipated
by the Company), the persons named as proxies have discretionary authority
either to vote for a substitute or to fix the number of directors at less than
eight. The Board of Directors has no reason to believe that any of the nominees
will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected. Unless authority to vote for
any director is withheld in the proxy, votes will be cast in favor of election
of the nominees listed herein.

The board of directors recommends a vote FOR the election of the nominees
named below and your proxy will be so voted unless you specify otherwise.

consecutive ten-day period, equals or exceeds 134.175% of the closing price
on the grant date (the "Partial Performance Condition"), and the remaining
50% vest if and when during the Performance Period the closing price of a
share of the Company's Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market System for a consecutive ten-day period, equals or exceeds 168.35% of
the closing price on the grant date (the "Full Performance Condition")) and
(ii) the holder of the restricted stock has completed five (5) years of
continued service from the grant date or has been earlier terminated without
cause or by reason of death or disability in specified circumstances (the
"Service Requirement"). The Partial Performance Condition for the shares of
restricted stock granted to Messrs. Everets, Doherty and Lefebvre in 1997 is
$8.05 per share and the Full Performance Condition for such shares is $10.10
per share. The Partial Performance Condition for these shares was met in
1998 (i.e. the performance condition was satisfied with respect to 25,000,
10,000 and 3,000 shares for Messrs. Everets, Doherty and Lefebvre,
respectively). The Full Performance Condition has not yet been satisfied.
All of the shares granted in 1997 remain subject to the Service Requirement.
In 1995, Messrs. Everets, Doherty and Lefebvre were granted 185,000, 90,000
and 25,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively, under the 1995

DEF 14A 10th Page of 27 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 10th

Stock Plan. The Partial Performance Condition for the 1995 grants was $5.90
per share and the Full Performance Condition was $7.37. The Partial
Performance Condition was met in 1996 (i.e., the performance vesting
condition was satisfied with respect to 92,500 shares for Mr. Everets,
45,000 shares for Mr. Doherty and 12,500 shares for Mr. Lefebvre). In 1998,
each officer voluntarily agreed to forfeit all of the shares granted in 1995
as to which the performance vesting condition had been satisfied in return
for the grant of Replacement Options described in Note 2 below. The
remainder of the restricted shares granted in 1995 was subject to the
satisfaction of the Full Performance Condition which was met later in 1998.
Those shares continue to be subject to the Service Requirement.

As of the end of fiscal 1998, the total number of shares of restricted stock
(and the value thereof) held by the Named Executive Officers (after
deducting the forfeited shares of restricted stock) was as follows: for Mr.
Everets -- 142,500 shares (the value of these shares at the end of fiscal
1998 equaled $1,389,375); for Mr. Doherty -- 65,000 shares (the value of
these shares at the end of fiscal 1998 equaled $633,750); and for Mr.
Lefebvre -- 18,500 shares (the value of these shares at the end of fiscal
1998 equaled $180,375). The performance conditions have been satisfied with
respect to 117,500 of the shares held by Mr. Everets, 55,000 of the shares
held by Mr. Doherty and 15,500 of the shares held by Mr. Lefebvre. All of
such shares remain subject to the Service Requirement.

Upon a "change in control" of the Company (as defined in the 1995 Stock
Plan), all awards granted prior to such date become fully vested. Upon the
termination of a participant's employment by the Company without "cause" (as
defined in the 1995 Stock Plan) or by reason of death or disability during
the Performance Period, any awards for which the Partial Performance
Condition or the Full Performance Condition shall have been satisfied no
later than four months after the date of such termination of employment
shall become fully vested and the participant shall be deemed to have
satisfied the Service Requirement. Dividends on stock awards will be paid at
the same rate as dividends, if any, are paid to all holders of Common Stock

(2) Includes options for 92,500 shares, 45,000 shares and 12,500 shares granted
to Messrs. Everets, Doherty and Lefebvre, respectively (the "Replacement
Options"), to replace an equal number of shares of restricted stock
voluntarily forfeited by the Named Executive Officers for which the
performance vesting condition had been met, as described in Note 1 above.

(3) In connection with the grant of the Replacement Options, HPSC adopted the
HPSC 1998 Executive Bonus Plan (the "Executive Bonus Plan"). Under the
Executive Bonus Plan, each Named Executive Officer may earn a cash bonus
equal to the aggregate exercise price of such executive officer's
Replacement Option ($474,062.50 for Mr. Everets, $230,625 for Mr. Doherty
and $64,062.50 for Mr. Lefebvre), payment of which is subject to the
satisfaction of performance goals and continued employment. The purpose of
the Executive Bonus Plan awards is to make up for the economic loss
associated with the forfeiture of the restricted stock in exchange for the
Replacement Options. One-eighth of the total award under the Executive Bonus
Plan is earned at the end of each fiscal quarter during the two years
following adoption of the plan, if the Company's volume of financial
contract originations for the twelve-month period ending on last day of the
fiscal quarter equals or exceeds $140,000,000 and the Named Executive
Officer continues to be employed by the Company at the end of such fiscal
quarter. The earned bonuses are payable upon the earlier of (i) the date the
Named Executive Officer exercises his Replacement Option, or (ii) the
termination or expiration of the Replacement Option. The Company has met the
performance goal for the quarters ended June 30, September 30 and December
31, 1998. Therefore, during 1998, each Named Executive Officer earned
three-eighths of the aggregate bonus that could be earned under the plan
($177,773 for Mr. Everets, $86,484 for Mr. Doherty and $24,023 for Mr.
Lefebvre). All amounts that may be earned under the Executive Bonus Plan
have been previously reported as compensation for 1995, when the Company
granted to the Named Executive Officers the shares of restricted stock which
such officers subsequently forfeited as described in Note 1.

(4) Includes term life insurance premiums paid by the Company and Company
contributions to the Named Executive Officer's 401(k) retirement plan
account, respectively, in the following amounts for fiscal year 1998: Mr.
Everets, $3,240 and $3,200; Mr. Doherty, $3,240 and $3,200; and Mr.
Lefebvre, $3,067 and $2,857. Also includes the value of shares of Common
Stock in the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") allocated to
each of the Named Executive Officers in fiscal year 1998 (for services
rendered during fiscal year 1997) in the amount of $6,591. The value of the
allocated ESOP shares was calculated by using the December 31, 1998 closing
price for the Company's Common Stock of $9.75 per share as reported on the
Nasdaq National Market. The Company has not allocated shares of Common Stock
to participants in its ESOP for services rendered during fiscal 1998 as of
the date of this Proxy Statement.

(5) Mr. Everets' compensation is governed by an employment agreement with the
Company dated as of July 19, 1996, as amended. See "EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION -- Employment Agreements".

(6) Mr. Doherty's compensation is governed by an employment agreement with the
Company dated August 2, 1996. See "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION -- Employment
Agreements".

(7) Mr. Lefebvre's compensation is governed by an employment agreement with the
Company dated April 23, 1998, and was previously governed by an employment
agreement with the Company dated April 6, 1994. See "EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION -- Employment Agreements".

STOCK LOAN PROGRAM

On July 28, 1997 the Compensation Committee approved an amended Stock Loan
Program whereby eligible executive officers and other senior personnel of the
Company may borrow from the Company amounts not exceeding $200,000 in any fiscal
quarter of the Company or $500,000 in the aggregate at any time during the term
of the loan program for all employees, solely for the purpose of acquiring stock
of the Company. All shares purchased with such loans are pledged to the Company
as collateral for repayment of the loans. The loans are recourse, bear interest
at a variable rate which is one-half of one percent above the Company's cost of
funds, payable monthly in arrears, and are payable as to principal no later than
five (5) years after the date of the loan, with periodic principal prepayments
equal to between 20% and 30% of the participant's after-tax bonus. As of the
date of this Proxy Statement, the Company has loans outstanding to executive
officers in the following amounts secured by the number of shares listed: Mr.
Everets, $142,832, secured by 23,279 shares; Mr. Doherty, $79,586, secured by
12,400 shares; and Mr. Lefebvre, $14,323, secured by 10,000 shares. As of the
date of this Proxy Statement, the executive officers have repaid the following
principal amounts on such loans: Mr. Everets, $78,568; Mr. Doherty, $32,914; and
Mr. Lefebvre, $23,157. Each of the executive officers has made all monthly
interest payments due on such loans. The largest aggregate amount of outstanding
indebtedness under the Stock Loan Program since its inception has been $488,876.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

The table below sets forth a range of estimated annual retirement benefits
available to certain executive employees under the HPSC Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (the "SERP") effective as of January 1, 1997. Benefits under the
SERP are intended to supplement the retirement benefits received by executive
employees through other Company programs, such as the ESOP and 401(k) Plan (as
such terms are defined herein), as well as Social Security benefits attributable
to Company-paid FICA taxes. Benefits under the SERP, payable upon normal
retirement at age 65 (or upon early retirement at age 62) as an actuarial
equivalent of a life annuity, are based upon age, length of service (up to a
maximum of 15 credited years of service) and an average of the participant's
three highest calendar years of base salary out of the five calendar years
immediately preceding the normal or early retirement date or other date of
termination of employment ("Average Final Compensation"). The SERP provides for
making payments to the executive

DEF 14A 12th Page of 27 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 12th

with an actuarial equivalent value equal to 55% of the employee's Average Final
Compensation, offset by amounts deemed available under the Company's 401(k) Plan
and Social Security benefits, to the extent attributable to the Company's
contribution and to Company-paid FICA taxes, respectively, as well as the value
of shares allocated to the employee under the Company's ESOP. The SERP also
contains a tax gross-up provision equal to any excise tax payments made by the
participant pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, relating to certain payments in excess of specified amounts made upon a
change in control or otherwise. Accrual and vesting of benefits are contingent
on the executive's continued service as an employee of the Company, with accrual
in equal amounts over the first 15 years of service and vesting over a period of
10 years, starting in the sixth year of service, provided that an executive's
benefits will also fully accrue and vest upon a "change in control" of the
Company (as defined in the SERP) unless such change in control is approved by at
least a two-thirds vote of the incumbent Board of Directors. An executive's
benefits will also fully vest if the executive's employment with the Company
terminates involuntarily without "good cause" (as defined in the SERP) or on
account of death or "disability" (as defined in the SERP). However, none of
these termination events results in acceleration of the executive's benefit
accrual under the SERP. Limited service credit (up to a maximum of three years)
is given for service before 1993 and full credit is given for service between
January 1, 1993 and the effective date of the SERP. For all periods prior to the
effective date, service as either an employee of the Company or a member of its
Board of Directors is credited. On and after the effective date, only service as
an employee is credited. While not obligated to do so under the SERP, the
Company has elected at this time to cover its future obligations under the SERP
by purchasing and holding life insurance policies on the SERP participants. The
Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies, which are designed to have
sufficient cash value to pay the respective SERP benefits at each participant's
normal retirement date under the SERP. The policies are an asset of the Company.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS, TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
ARRANGEMENTS

Employment Agreements

John W. Everets and Raymond R. Doherty

As of July 19, 1996 and August 2, 1996, the Company entered into employment
agreements with each of John W. Everets and Raymond R. Doherty, respectively.
The Company agreed to pay a base annual salary of at least $250,000 to Mr.
Everets and $200,000 to Mr. Doherty, as determined annually by the Compensation
Committee, as well as a bonus of up to 100% of base salary to each individual
under an incentive plan developed by the Compensation Committee of the Board in
consultation with management and approved by the full Board of Directors. Each
employment agreement has a three-year term and thereafter will automatically
renew from year to year unless either party to such agreement gives notice of
his or its intention to terminate the agreement six months in advance of any
anniversary. Neither the Company nor Mr. Everets or Mr. Doherty has given notice
of its or his intent to terminate either employment agreement as of the date of
this proxy statement.

Either party to each employment agreement may terminate it at any time for
any reason. In the event of a termination by the Company which is not "for
cause" (as defined in each agreement) with respect to either Mr. Everets or Mr.
Doherty (and, in the case of Mr. Everets, in the event of termination by Mr.
Everets) or a decision not to renew by either party, the Company will pay the
employee his base monthly pay plus his maximum monthly bonus for the next 12
months. Upon a termination by the Company which is not "for cause," all of Mr.
Everets' stock options and restricted stock awards will fully vest. Each
employee has agreed not to compete with the business of the Company while
receiving termination payments and to maintain in confidence all of the
Company's confidential information.

In the event of Mr. Everets' or Mr. Doherty's termination due to death or
disability, the Company will pay the employee or his estate the employee's base
monthly salary for six months from the date of death or disability. The employee
and his family will also be entitled to receive the employee's benefits during
this six-month period. If, within three years after a "change in control" of the
Company (as defined in each agreement), either the Company terminates Mr.
Everets or Mr. Doherty other than "for cause" or the

DEF 14A 15th Page of 27 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 15th

employee terminates his employment due to a "change in employment" (as defined
in each agreement), the Company will pay the employee up to 2.99 times the
employee's average annual compensation for the five calendar years before the
date of the change in control; the non-compete provisions will no longer apply;
the employee's stock options will fully vest; and normal employee benefits will
continue for 12 months. If, within three years after a "change in control," the
employee terminates his employment for any reason other than a "change in
employment," the Company will pay the employee his base monthly pay plus the
maximum monthly bonus and normal employee benefits for 12 months.

Rene Lefebvre

On April 23, 1998, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
Rene Lefebvre. The Company agreed to pay Mr. Lefebvre an initial base annual
salary of $142,000 as well as a bonus to be determined in accordance with an
incentive plan developed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors. The employment agreement has a three-year term ending on April 23,
2001. On that date the agreement will automatically renew from year to year
until either party to such agreement gives notice of his or its intention to
terminate the agreement 60 days in advance of any anniversary. Either party to
the employment agreement may terminate it at any time for any reason on thirty
days advance notice, except that the Company may terminate Mr. Lefebvre for
cause at any time without prior notice. The Company is obligated to pay Mr.
Lefebvre's salary for twelve months after termination, if it terminates his
employment other than "for cause" (as defined in his agreement) and for six
months after termination if it does not renew the agreement. Mr. Lefebvre has
agreed not to compete with the business of the Company while receiving severance
payments and to maintain in confidence all of the Company's confidential
information. If, within three years after a "change in control" of the Company
(as defined in each agreement), either the Company terminates Mr. Lefebvre other
than "for cause" or Mr. Lefebvre terminates his employment due to a "change in
employment" (as defined in the agreement), the Company will pay Mr. Lefebvre up
to 2.99 times his average annual compensation for the preceding five calendar
years before the date of the change in control; the non-compete provisions will
no longer apply; Mr. Lefebvre's stock options will fully vest; and his normal
employee benefits will continue for 12 months. If, within three years after a
"change in control," Mr. Lefebvre terminates his employment for any reason other
than a "change in employment," the Company will pay him his base monthly pay
plus the maximum monthly bonus that he would have earned during the next 12
months and normal employee benefits for 12 months.

Change In Control Arrangements

In addition to the change in control provisions in the employment
agreements described above, certain Company compensation plans provide for
acceleration of vesting of benefits upon a change in control of HPSC. Under the
1995 Stock Plan and 1998 Stock Plan, all outstanding options and restricted
stock awards will vest upon a change in control (as defined in such plans).
Under the terms of the ESOP all amounts allocated to participants' accounts will
vest upon a change in control, and under the terms of the SERP, benefits will
fully accrue and fully vest upon a change in control, unless such change in
control is approved by two-thirds of the Company's incumbent directors.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

The Company pays each non-employee director a fee of $5,000 per year plus
$2,500 per year for each committee of the Board on which he or she serves and
$500 for each board or committee meeting attended. In addition, the Company
reimburses directors for their travel expenses incurred in attending meetings of
the Board or its committees. Under the 1998 Stock Plan, each continuing
non-employee director is granted 1,000 non-qualified stock options on the day of
each annual meeting of stockholders during the term of the 1998

DEF 14A 16th Page of 27 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 16th

Stock Plan, at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
Under the 1998 Outside Director Stock Bonus Plan, each continuing non-employee
director will receive 1,000 shares of bonus stock on the day of each annual
meeting of stockholders during the term of the 1998 Outside Director Stock Bonus
Plan.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Company's executive compensation program is administered by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") currently
consisting of Dollie A. Cole (Chair), J. Kermit Birchfield and Samuel P. Cooley,
all of whom are independent, non-employee directors.

The Committee has primary responsibility for analyzing the compensation of
executive officers of the Company, establishing performance goals for executive
officers, reporting to the full Board with respect to such compensation, and
administering the Company's stock plans.

SALARIES FOR 1998

The Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (the "Chairman") and
each of the other two executive officers have employment agreements which
provide for base cash compensation determined annually by the Compensation
Committee but subject to minimum levels specified in the agreements. See
"Employment Agreements" above.

The base cash compensation levels for the Chairman and other executive
officers were established in their employment agreements by the Committee based
upon a number of factors including the financial performance of the Company
during the period of their employment, the experience of the officer and his
importance to the Company and base compensation levels paid by comparable
companies. In setting base cash compensation and cash bonuses (discussed below)
for 1998 for the Chairman, Mr. Doherty and Mr. Lefebvre, the Committee
considered the financial condition of the Company during the prior year, the
outlook for the ensuing year and the results of a report reviewing the
compensation packages for each of the Company's executive officers prepared for
the Company by an independent compensation consulting firm (the "Report"). Based
upon three surveys of compensation information, including the Equipment Leasing
Association of America 1996 Leasing Industry Wage and Compensation Survey, a
William Mercer 1998 Finance, Accounting and Legal Survey and Watson Wyatt's
1997/98 Top Management Report, each updated through 1999 by an appropriate
inflation factor, the Report found base cash compensation for the Chairman and
for both of the other executive officers to be at or near the median of the
published survey data for the financial services industry, total cash
compensation (base salary plus bonus) for the Chairman to be slightly above the
60th percentile and for the other executive officers to be between the 50th and
60th percentile of total cash compensation awarded by companies surveyed in the
report, and total direct compensation (the sum of base salary, bonus and the
value of equity incentives) for the Chairman to be between the 50th and 60th
percentile and for the other executive officers to range from slightly below the
median to the median of total direct compensation awarded by the companies
surveyed in the report. The Committee believes that the Company's most direct
competitors for executive talent are not necessarily all of the companies that
would be included in a peer group established to compare shareholder returns.
Thus the companies included in the Report surveys are not the same as the
companies included in the New Custom Index as defined in the Performance Graph
on page 17.

CASH BONUSES FOR 1998

In recommending bonuses for the Chairman and other executive officers for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998, the Committee reviewed the financial
and overall performance of the Company during
14

DEF 14A 17th Page of 27 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 17th

1998. Instead of using specific target levels with respect to individual and
Company performance to calculate bonuses, the Committee considered a number of
factors, including the following: (i) the overall financial performance of the
Company, particularly in terms of its achieving the revenue and profit goals
that were established in the business plan of the Company; (ii) the growth in
the Company's financing contract portfolio; (iii) the Company's success in
obtaining bank and asset securitization financing on favorable terms; (iv) the
increase in value of the Company's stock; (v) the Company's success in hiring
and retaining sales personnel; (vi) the information contained in the Report with
respect to total cash compensation awarded to persons in comparable positions by
companies surveyed for the Report; (vii) the diversification of the Company's
business into licensed professional medical areas other than dentistry; and
(viii) other positive developments in the Company's business. The Committee also
considered the contribution of each executive officer to the performance of the
Company, the responsibilities of each executive officer in connection with this
performance, the importance of the individual to the future growth and
profitability of the Company, cash compensation levels of competitors in the
industry (many of these competitors are included in the companies surveyed for
the Report) and the success of the management team in achieving the Company's
short-term and long-term goals. Although the Committee considered all of these
factors in exercising its judgment as to compensation levels for the Chairman
and other executive officers, the Committee did not use a precise formula to
weigh the relative importance of such factors.

STOCK OPTIONS

The purpose of the 1998 Stock Plan is to retain and motivate the Company's
key employees and outside directors and to increase their incentive to work
toward the attainment of the Company's long-term growth and profit objectives.
In determining the size of the stock option awards, the primary considerations
are the performance of the executive officer, the number of shares underlying
outstanding equity awards which continue to be subject to vesting and the grant
value of the award. In fiscal year 1998, the Committee awarded stock options
under the 1998 Stock Plan to John W. Everets in the amount of 180,000 shares,
Raymond R. Doherty in the amount of 90,000 shares and Rene Lefebvre in the
amount of 45,000 shares. These grants were made to provide an incentive to these
key executive officers to remain with the Company and to encourage and
facilitate stock ownership in the Company by the Company's executive officers.
This component of an executive officer's compensation directly links the
officer's interests with those of the Company's other stockholders.

In addition, the Company granted options under the 1995 Stock Plan in the
following amounts: Mr. Everets, 92,500; Mr. Doherty, 45,000 shares; and Mr.
Lefebvre, 12,500 shares. These options are the Replacement Options granted in
exchange for the forfeiture by these executive officers of an equal number of
restricted shares granted in 1995 (described in Note 1 to the Summary
Compensation Table on page 7). The executive officers agreed to the forfeiture
of the restricted shares so that the Company would avoid the earnings charge
that it would have incurred upon the satisfaction of the Full Performance
Condition of the 1995 Plan with respect to such shares. The Executive Bonus Plan
was adopted to permit the executive officers to earn a bonus that would make up
for the economic loss associated with the forfeiture of these restricted shares.
The executive officers will earn bonuses under the Executive Bonus Plan only if
the Company meets the performance goals set forth in the plan, and the executive
officer continues to be employed by the Company on the quarterly measurement
dates set forth in the plan. The earned bonuses are payable to the executive
officers at the time the officer exercises his Replacement Option, or when the
Replacement Option terminates or expires.

DEDUCTIBILITY OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Internal Revenue Code"), limits the amount of individual compensation for
certain executives that may be deducted by the employer for federal income tax
purposes in any one fiscal year to $1 million except to the extent that such
compensation is "performance-based". The determination of whether compensation
is performance-based depends upon a number of factors, including shareholder
approval of the plan under which the compensation is paid, the exercise price at
which options or similar awards are granted, the disclosure to and approval by
the shareholders of applicable performance standards, the composition of the
Committee, and certification by the Committee that the performance standards
were satisfied. None of the compensation paid to any executive officer in fiscal
year 1998 would exceed the deduction limit of Section 162(m) of the Internal
Revenue Code, and the Committee does not anticipate that in the near future the
compensation paid to executive officers in the form of base salaries and
incentive compensation will be non-deductible under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Restricted Stock and option awards under the 1995 Stock
Plan and the 1998 Stock Plan comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code.

PERFORMANCE GRAPH

SEC rules require that the Company present a line graph comparing
cumulative total shareholder return for HPSC over a period of five years,
assuming reinvestment of dividends, with a broad equity market index and either
a published industry index or an index comprising peer companies selected by the
Company. The broad equity market index selected by the Company for inclusion in
the graph is the Russell 2000 Index, an index of 2,000 public companies with
relatively small market capitalization. For its second comparative index, the
Company prepared its own index (the "New Custom Index") of three publicly-owned
state commercial banks that are of similar market capitalization to the Company,
ranging in size from approximately $35 million to approximately $70 million of
market capitalization, and two companies in the equipment leasing field. In
prior years, the Company used a different index (the "Old Custom Index") as its
second comparative index. The shares of four of the companies included in the
Old Custom Index no longer trade publicly due to mergers, liquidations and
bankruptcies affecting these companies. For this reason, the Company expanded
the Old Custom Index by adding three new companies to the two remaining
companies to create the New Custom Index.

Set forth below is a graph comparing, over a five-year period beginning
December 31, 1993, the cumulative total return for the Company, the Russell 2000
Index Old Custom Index and the New Custom Index.

The Old Custom Index includes: AT&T Capital Corp. (added fourth quarter
1993, began trading 7/28/93 and included through third quarter 1996, as company
was acquired in October 1996), First City Bancorp (included through fourth
quarter 1995, as company was acquired in March 1996), Professional Bancorp,
Redwood Empire Bancorp (added fourth quarter 1991, began trading September 26,
1991), San Francisco Company -- Class A (included through 1994 only, as company
was delisted in March 1995) and TLII Liquidating Corp. (formerly Trans Leasing
International, Inc., included through fourth quarter 1997, as the Company's
stock ceased trading after the sale of its business in December, 1997). At
December 31, 1998, the Old Custom Index included only two publicly trading
stocks, Professional Bancorp and Redwood Empire Bancorp.

The New Custom Index includes: Atlantic Bank & Trust Co. (since third
quarter 1996), Linc Capital Inc. (since first quarter 1998), Professional
Bancorp Inc., Redwood Empire Bancorp and T&W Financial Group (since first
quarter 1998).

PROPOSAL TWO -- RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Deloitte & Touche LLP have been selected to act as the Company's
independent public accountants for the current year, subject to ratification by
vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present and
entitled to vote thereon at the Annual Meeting. Representatives of Deloitte &
Touche are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will have the
opportunity to make a statement if they desire and will be available to respond
to appropriate questions.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the
selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

PROPOSALS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Proposals for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. Any proposal of a
stockholder intended to be presented at the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
must be received at the corporate headquarters of the Company not later than
Thursday, November 27, 1999 in order to be included in the Company's proxy
statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting.

Other Proposals (Not for Inclusion in the Proxy Statement). HPSC's By-laws
and the rules of the SEC provide certain procedures that a stockholder must
follow to nominate one or more individuals for election as a Director or to
introduce an item of business at an annual meeting of stockholders. These
procedures provide that any nomination or proposed item of business must be
submitted in writing to the Secretary of the Company at 60 State Street, Boston,
MA 02109. Usually, the nomination or proposed item of business must be received:
(i) not later than the close of business on the 60th day, and (ii) no earlier
than the close of business on the 90th day, prior to the first anniversary of
the preceding year's annual meeting. However, if the annual meeting is held more
than 30 days prior to, or more than 60 days after, the first anniversary of the
preceding year's annual meeting, then the item of business must be received not
earlier than the close of business on the 90th day prior to such meeting and not
later than the close of business on the 60th day prior to such meeting or the
10th day following the day on which Company first makes a public announcement of
the date of the annual meeting.

The notice of a nomination must include:

(a) the name and address of the stockholder who intends to make the
nomination and of the person or persons to be nominated;

DEF 14A 21st Page of 27 TOC 1st Previous Next ↓Bottom Just 21st

(b) a representation that the stockholder is a stockholder of record
of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting who intends to appear in
person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the person or persons
specified in the notice;

(c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the
stockholder and each nominee and any other person or persons (naming such
person or persons) pursuant to which the nomination or nominations are to
be made by the stockholder;

(d) such other information regarding each nominee proposed by such
stockholder as would be required to be included in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for such nominee or nominees as director(s); and

(e) a signed consent of each nominee to serve as a director of HPSC if
elected.

The notice of a proposed item of business must include: a brief description
of the substance of, and the reasons for, conducting such business at the annual
meeting; the stockholder's name and address; the number of shares of Common
Stock held by the stockholder (with supporting documentation where appropriate);
and any material interest of the stockholder in such business.

QUORUM AND VOTING PROCEDURES

The By-Laws of the Company provide that a majority of the shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or by
proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of stockholders of the Company.
Shares of Common Stock represented by a properly signed and returned proxy are
considered as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a
quorum. Abstentions and broker "non-votes" are counted as present for purposes
of determining the existence of a quorum. A broker "non-vote" occurs when a
nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular
proposal because, under the rules of the National Association of Securities
Dealers (NASD) that govern brokers using the NASD's automated quotation system
(Nasdaq), the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to
that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. There are
no proposals at this year's Annual Meeting over which a nominee does not have
discretionary authority. Therefore, broker non-votes will not be a factor in the
outcome of any votes at this year's annual meeting.

Under Section 160(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the 1,625,182
shares of Common Stock retired by the Company and the 448,000 shares of common
stock held by the Company in its treasury are not entitled to vote on any
matters coming before the Annual Meeting or to be counted for quorum purposes.

The vote required for election of directors is the affirmative vote of a
plurality of the shares present or represented at the Annual Meeting and
entitled to vote thereon (i.e., the nominees receiving the greatest number of
votes will be elected). Votes may be cast in favor of or withheld from each
nominee; votes that are withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote and
will have no effect.

If a stockholder of record specifies in the proxy how it is to be voted, it
will be voted in accordance with such specification. If a properly signed proxy
is returned to the Company by a stockholder of record and is not marked, it will
be voted in accordance with the Board's recommendations on all proposals. Any
stockholder giving a proxy in the accompanying form retains the power to revoke
it at any time before the exercise of the powers conferred thereby, by notice in
writing to the Secretary of the Company. Any stockholder who attends the Annual
Meeting in person will not be deemed thereby to revoke the proxy unless such
stockholder affirmatively indicates at the Annual Meeting his intention to vote
the shares covered thereby in person.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board of Directors and Company's management know of no business which
will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than that
discussed above. However, if any other proper business should come before the
Annual Meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed form of
proxy to vote the proxies in respect to any such business in accordance with
their best judgment. Matters with respect to which the enclosed form of proxy
confers such discretionary authority are as follows: (i) matters which the Board
of Directors does not know are to be presented at the Annual Meeting as of a
reasonable time before the mailing of this Proxy Statement; (ii) approval of the
minutes of the prior meeting of stockholders, such approval not constituting
ratification of the action taken at such meeting; (iii) election of any person
as a director if any of the nominees named herein is unable to serve or for good
cause will not serve; and (iv) matters incident to the conduct of the Annual
Meeting.

The cost of preparing, assembling and mailing this proxy material will be
paid by the Company. The Company may solicit proxies other than by the use of
the mail, in that certain officers and regular employees of the Company, without
additional compensation, may use their personal efforts, by telephone or
otherwise, to obtain proxies. The Company requests individuals, firms and
corporations holding shares in their names, or in the names of their nominees,
which shares are beneficially owned by others, to send this proxy material to
and obtain proxies from such beneficial owners and will reimburse such holders
for their reasonable expenses in doing so.
