Item 6. Indemnification of
Directors and Officers.
The Registrants certificate of incorporation provides that a director and officer will not be liable to
the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of duty of care to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL). In addition, if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further
elimination or limitation of the liability of directors or officers, then the liability of a director or officer of the Registrant, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided for in the Registrants certificate of
incorporation, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL.
In addition, the Registrants bylaws provide
that the Registrant will indemnify, and advance expenses to, any officer or director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.
Specifically, under the Registrants bylaws, in accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, the Registrants directors and
officers are eligible for indemnification against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits, and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys fees,
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and, in accordance with the DGCL, the bylaws requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation. The bylaws provide that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporations certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement, or otherwise. In addition,
as permitted under the DGCL, the Registrant may provide indemnification and/or advancement to any other employees or agents of the Registrant and its subsidiaries. The Registrants bylaws also provide that the Registrants is the indemnitor of
first resort for directors affiliated with the Registrants controlling stockholder.
The Registrant has entered into written
indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, which provide its directors and executive officers with contractual rights to indemnification, and expense advancement and reimbursement, to the fullest extent permitted under the
DGCL and as summarized above, subject to certain exceptions contained in those agreements.
Further, the Registrant maintains
directors and officers insurance to cover its directors, officers, and some of its employees for certain liabilities.
The
Inducement Awards are granted outside of the Petco Health and Wellness Company, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the 2021 Plan), but are subject to terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms
and conditions set forth in the 2021 Plan. The 2021 Plan provides protection for members of the Registrants board or directors or a committee thereof acting under the 2021 Plan for their reliance in good faith upon the advice of counsel, and
provides that such individuals shall incur no liability except for as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of their duties with respect to the 2021 Plan.
