Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 25, 2017, the Board approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”), to be entered into, from to time, between the Company and its current and prospective officers and directors (each an “Indemnitee”). The Indemnification Agreement clarifies and supplements the indemnification rights of the Indemnitees that are currently provided, inter alia, by Delaware law and under the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”).

 

Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, subject to certain exceptions specified therein, the Company will indemnify an Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law in the event the Indemnitee becomes subject to or a participant in certain claims or proceedings as a result of the Indemnitee’s service to the Company as an officer or director. The Company will also, subject to certain exceptions and repayment conditions, advance to the Indemnitee specified indemnifiable expenses incurred in connection with certain claims or proceedings. The Indemnification Agreement also provides procedures that will apply in the event that an Indemnitee intends to make a request for indemnification or advancement of expenses.

 

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement is not complete and is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

The Company has entered into an Indemnification Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, with Sebastian Giordano, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, David Allen, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Charles Benton, Norm Dumbroff, Edward Gildea, and Joshua Silverman, each a director of the Company.
