Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
On November 24, 2014, in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Cole Corporate Income Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), Simon J. Misselbrook entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company, effective November 11, 2014. In addition, on November 24, 2014, Senior Vice President of Accounting of the Company, Gavin B. Brandon, entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company, effective August 27, 2014 (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”). The terms of the Indemnification Agreements obligate the Company to indemnify Messrs. Misselbrook and Brandon (the “Officers”) to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law against all judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the Officers or on their behalves in connection with a proceeding or proceedings. The Officers are not entitled to indemnification if it is established that one of the exceptions to indemnification under Maryland law, as set forth in the Indemnification Agreements, exists.
In addition, the Indemnification Agreements require the Company to advance reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Officers within 10 days of the receipt by the Company of a statement from an Officer requesting the advance. The Indemnification Agreements also provide for procedures for the determination of entitlement to indemnification.
The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of Indemnification Agreement which was attached to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1 on September 2, 2014, which is incorporated herein by reference.
