Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective November 7, 2014, the Board of Directors of US Ecology, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) and authorized the Company to enter into an Indemnification Agreement with each of the current directors and executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “Indemnitees”). The Indemnification Agreement supplements and furthers the indemnification provisions already contained in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and generally provides that the Company shall indemnify the Indemnitees to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to certain exceptions, against expenses, judgments, fines and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnitees in connection with their service as a director or officer. The Indemnification Agreement also provides for rights to advancement of expenses and contribution. The Company anticipates that it will enter into a substantially similar Indemnification Agreement with any new directors or executive officers.
The description of the Indemnification Agreement set forth in this Item 1.01 is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Indemnification Agreement between the Company and each of the Indemnitees which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference; which form will be executed by other appointed or elected directors and other Company employees as considered appropriate.
