Item 6.
|
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
|
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides for the indemnification of officers and directors of corporations in terms sufficiently broad enough to permit the indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company from liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) under certain circumstances. Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments or stock redemptions or repurchases, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article XI of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated May 1, 2020, and Section 6.6 of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, dated May 1, 2020 (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”), provide, in general, for mandatory indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, against liability incurred by them in proceedings instituted or threatened against them by third parties, or by or on behalf of the Company itself, relating to the manner in which they performed their duties. Under the DGCL, to be entitled to mandatory indemnification, a director or officer must have been successful in the defense of a claim or proceeding, or the director or officer must have acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the Company’s best interests, and with respect to any criminal proceeding, must have had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
As permitted by the DGCL, Article X of the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or decisional law, no director shall be personally liable to the Company or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The effect of this provision in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director thereof (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i)-(iv), inclusive, above. These provisions will not alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or, during such time, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of any other corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including an employee benefit plan), against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, provided that the Company shall indemnify such person in connection with any action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company or brought to enforce rights under the indemnification provisions in Section 6.6 of the Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that the Company shall advance expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding to directors and officers within 20 days of a request, provided that, if required by the DGCL, a director or officer furnishes an undertaking to repay any amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined, by a final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal, that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification for such amounts.
The Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that indemnification provided for in the Amended and Restated Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; that any right of indemnification or protection provided under the Amended and Restated Bylaws shall not be adversely affected by any amendment, repeal, or modification of the Amended and Restated Bylaws; and that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance to protect itself and any such person against any such expenses, liability and loss, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL or the Amended and Restated Bylaws.
In addition to the above, the Company may enter into one or more agreements with any person to provide for indemnification greater or different than that which is provided for in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws.
