Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On March 5, 2014, Tecnoglass Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a subscription agreement with an affiliate of A. Lorne Weil, the Company’s Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, pursuant to which such affiliate agreed to purchase an aggregate of 95,693 ordinary shares (“Shares”) of the Company for $1,000,000, or approximately $10.45 per share, representing a slight premium to the closing price of the Shares immediately prior to the execution of the subscription agreement. The closing of the purchase will take place on or before March 15, 2014 (“Closing”).

 

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the Shares no later than four months after the Closing and use its best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible.

 

On March 6, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing. A copy of the press release for such announcement is attached to this Report as Exhibit 99.1.

 

Also effective March 5, 2014, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its executive officers and members of its board of directors. The indemnification agreements supplement the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law in providing certain indemnification rights to these individuals. The indemnification agreements provide, among other things, that the Company will indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Cayman Islands law and to any greater extent that Cayman Islands law may in the future permit, including the advancement of attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred by such individuals in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory, legislative or investigative nature, relating to any occurrence or event before or after the date of the indemnification agreements, by reason of the fact that such individuals is or were directors or executive officers of the Company, subject to certain exclusions and procedures set forth in the indemnification agreements, including the absence of fraud or willful default on the part of the indemnitee and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the subscription agreement and indemnification agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the subscription agreement and form of indemnification agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
