Nevada Approval of Indemnification Agreements with Article Amendment and Amendment to Bylaws: A Comprehensive Guide Introduction: In the state of Nevada, businesses have the opportunity to protect their directors, officers, and other key personnel from legal liability through the implementation of indemnification agreements. These agreements provide financial security by ensuring that the company will cover legal expenses and potential damages resulting from lawsuits brought against these individuals for actions taken in their official capacity. However, the approval of indemnification agreements requires compliance with specific legal procedures. This guide will explain the process involved in obtaining Nevada's approval for indemnification agreements, as well as the necessary article amendment and amendment to bylaws. Types of Nevada Approval of Indemnification Agreements: 1. Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Section 78.751: NRS Section 78.751 addresses the approval of indemnification agreements with article amendment and amendment to bylaws for Nevada corporations. This statute outlines the procedures that must be followed to secure the required approval. 2. Approval by Board of Directors: The first step in obtaining Nevada's approval is to secure the agreement of the company's board of directors. The board will review the proposed indemnification agreement, article amendment, and amendment to bylaws to ensure compliance with state laws and the best interests of the corporation. 3. Shareholder Approval: Once the board of directors approves the indemnification agreement, an article amendment and an amendment to the bylaws, shareholders must also provide their consent. Shareholders are typically notified of the proposed changes via written notice or during a special shareholders meeting. Two-thirds majority or a different threshold specified by the company's articles of incorporation must vote in favor of the approval. 4. Filing Articles of Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State: After obtaining both board and shareholder approvals, a company must file articles of amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State. This filing will formally change the approved indemnification agreement, incorporating it into the company's articles of incorporation. 5. Adopting Amendment to the Bylaws: To complete the process, the company's bylaws should be amended to reflect the approved indemnification agreement. This ensures that all internal policies align with the updated articles of incorporation.
