Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 13, 2017, the Board of Directors of Cyanotech Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) and authorized the Company to enter into an indemnification agreement in substantially the form of the Indemnification Agreement with each of its directors and executive officers (each, an “Indemnitee”).
The Indemnification Agreement clarifies and supplements the indemnification rights of the Indemnitees that are currently provided by Nevada corporate law, the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws. The Indemnification Agreement also provides procedures that will apply in the event that an Indemnitee makes a request for indemnification. Under the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Indemnification Agreement, the Company will indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada 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 a director or officer. The Company will also, subject to certain exceptions and repayment conditions, advance to the Indemnitee specified indemnifiable expenses incurred in connection with such claims or proceedings.
The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete terms of the Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
