The Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Krakauer in the form of the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement, which requires the Company to indemnify directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
The Board determined that Ms. Krakauer will be an independent director within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards.
