Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The Board of Directors (the "Board") of SEACOR Holdings Inc. (the "Company") recently approved a form of indemnification agreement for directors and executive officers (the "Indemnification Agreement") and expects to enter into the Indemnification Agreement with each of such persons in the near future. The Board determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to enter into Indemnification Agreements in order to attract and retain highly competent individuals to serve, or continue to serve, as directors and executive officers by eliminating any undue concern that they will not be indemnified for losses incurred by them relating to their status as a director or executive officer of the Company. The Company anticipates that it will enter into a substantially similar Indemnification Agreement with any new directors or executive officers.
The Indemnification Agreements will, among other things, require the Company to indemnify, and advance expenses to, each director and executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, including indemnification of expenses such as attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the Company, arising out of such person's services as a director or executive officer.
The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
