Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On February 8, 2018, Team, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Engine Capital, L.P. and certain related investors (collectively, “Engine Capital”).
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company increased the size of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from 7 to 9 directors and appointed Craig L. Martin to fill one of the newly created directorships. Concurrently, Brian K. Ferraioli was appointed to the Board. Each of Mr. Ferraioli and Mr. Martin will serve an initial term expiring at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, and will be included in the Company’s slate of director nominees for re-election at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Engine Capital will also be permitted to name one Board observer, who will be permitted to attend meetings of the Board for a period of time beginning after the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Engine Capital agreed not to nominate any director candidates to stand for election at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting. In addition, the Settlement Agreement provides that, at the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and at any meeting of the Company’s stockholders held prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (as defined below), Engine Capital will vote all of its shares of Company common stock in favor of the election of directors nominated by the Board and otherwise in accordance with the Board’s recommendation, subject to certain exceptions for other extraordinary transactions and certain matters with a contrary recommendation from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC.
The Settlement Agreement includes certain restrictions applicable from February 8, 2018 until the date that is the earlier of (1) 20 calendar days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations of directors for the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and (2) 100 days prior to the first anniversary of the 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Standstill Period”). During the Standstill Period, Engine Capital is, among other things, restricted from engaging in any solicitation of proxies or written consents with respect to the election or removal of directors or, with certain exceptions, any other matter or proposal, acquiring any assets of the Company or acquiring any voting stock that would result in Engine Capital having beneficial ownership of more than 9.9% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock.
The Settlement Agreement is filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof.

On February 8, 2018, the Board approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) between the Company and individuals who may serve from time to time as directors or officers of the Company. The Indemnification Agreement supplements indemnification provisions contained in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Under the Indemnification Agreement, the Company agrees to indemnify directors and officers against liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Company and to other entities where they provide services at the request of the Company.
