Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 21, 2014, the Board of Directors of Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) amended the form of indemnification agreement to be entered into with the Company’s directors and officers. The Company also entered into a new indemnification agreement on the amended form with each director as well as with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s General Counsel. The material changes from the previous form of indemnification agreement are to: (a) remove certain limitations on the advancement of expenses; (b) add a definition of “success upon the merits;” (c) provide that failure to give timely notice shall limit right to indemnification only if the Company is prejudiced by the delay; (d) enhance the right to “tail” directors and officers insurance coverage upon a change in control; (e) provide for contribution in joint liability situations; (f) add provision to require information sharing by the Company if an indemnitee is implicated in certain investigations; and (g) add specific performance as a remedy to enforce the agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the form of Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.
