Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Indemnification Agreements

On January 28, 2016, Corindus Vascular Robotics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements clarify and supplement indemnification provisions already contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and, among other things, provide for indemnification of the director or officer to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Nevada, advancement of legal fees and expenses in connection with legal proceedings, certain procedures for determining whether the director or officer is entitled to indemnification and dispute resolution procedures. 

The company has entered into indemnification agreements with its executive officers, Mr. David M. Handler, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Mr. David W. Long, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and each of its directors: Messrs. Jeffrey C. Lightcap, Hillel Bachrach, Jeffrey Gold, David White, Gerard Winkels and Michael Mashaal.

In 2011, Mr. Winkels entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Corindus, Inc., in connection with his appointment to the Board of Directors, which provided for certain rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses. Upon entering into the indemnification agreement in the form attached hereto, Mr. Winkels’ prior agreement was terminated and superseded in its entirety by the new indemnification agreement.

The foregoing description of the indemnification agreement is qualified, in its entirety, by reference to the form of indemnification agreement attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereof and is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report with respect to Mr. Winkels’ prior indemnification agreement is incorporated herein by this reference.
