Tesla updates indemnification agreements for directors and officers

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), the $1.13 trillion market cap automotive giant, announced that on Wednesday its Board of Directors approved an updated form of indemnification agreement for its directors and executive officers. The company, which InvestingPro data shows maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, entered into these revised agreements with each of its directors and executive officers on the same day.

According to a statement in the SEC filing, the updated indemnification agreement provides that Tesla will indemnify each director and executive officer and advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted under Texas law. The agreement also includes provisions for continued coverage under Tesla’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies.

The company stated that the form of the updated indemnification agreement was attached as an exhibit to the filing. Tesla noted that the summary of the agreement in the report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement.

This information is based on a press release statement included in Tesla’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
