Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 28, 2016, CVB Financial Corp. (“CVB”) entered into indemnification agreements (each, an “Indemnification Agreement”), on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, including CVB’s principal banking subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“CBB” and together with CVB, the “Company”), with each of the Company’s seven directors and three of the Company’s named executive officers, David A. Brager, David C. Harvey and E. Allen Nicholson (each, an “Indemnitee”). The Indemnification Agreements supersede any prior indemnification agreements in effect between each Indemnitee and the Company. The Indemnification Agreements provide the Indemnitees with, among other things, indemnification against liabilities relating to their respective services as directors and officers of the Company and the advancement of expenses under certain circumstances. The Indemnification Agreements also require the Company to use its reasonable best efforts to purchase and maintain one or more policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to cover liabilities asserted against, or incurred by, the Indemnitees. The foregoing summary of the Indemnification Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of the Company’s Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
