Mr. Lacey is not a party to any transaction described in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Mr. Lacey is eligible to participate in the non-employee Director’s compensation arrangements described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for its 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, including receipt of a pro-rated award of restricted stock units (RSUs).
On April 22, 2021, the Company entered into an Indemnification Agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) with Mr. Lacey. The Indemnification Agreement is in substantially the same form as the indemnification agreement for directors and officers that is filed as Exhibit 10(e) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 26, 2020.
