Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 9, 2017, NeoGenomics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into an indemnification agreement with each of its current directors. Subject to the terms therein, including certain exceptions, these agreements provide for the indemnification of the Company’s directors and executive officers for certain expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action, suit, arbitration, administrative hearing, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, inquiry or investigation that may lead to the foregoing, to which they are a party, or are threatened to be made a party, by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, by reason of any action or inaction by them while serving as an officer, director, agent or fiduciary, or by reason of the fact that they were serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another entity. In the case of an action or proceeding by or in the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, no indemnification will be provided for any claim where a court determines that the indemnified party is prohibited from receiving indemnification. The Company believes that the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The indemnification agreements are supplements to and in furtherance of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and the Company’s Bylaws and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of the indemnitees under the indemnification agreements. The Company has historically and will continue to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which provides further indemnification to our directors. The forgoing description of the indemnification agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of indemnification agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated herein by reference.
