Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Americold Realty Trust, Inc.
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include a provision in its charter eliminating the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty that is established by a final judgment and is material to the cause of action. The charter of Americold Realty Trust, Inc. contains a provision that eliminates its directors' and officers' liability to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
The Maryland General Corporation Law (the "MGCL") requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which Americold Realty Trust, Inc.'s charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity against reasonable expenses actually incurred in the proceeding in which the director or officer was successful. The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or certain other capacities unless it is established that:
• |
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; |
II-1
• |
the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or |
• |
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. |
The MGCL prohibits a Maryland corporation from indemnifying a director or officer who has been adjudged liable in a suit by the corporation or on its behalf or in which the director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis that a personal benefit was improperly received. A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received; however, indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by the corporation or on its behalf, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, is limited to expenses.
In addition, the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, the charter and the amended and restated bylaws of Americold Realty Trust, Inc. (the "bylaws") obligate it to indemnify any individual who is made or threatened to be made a party to or witness in a proceeding by reason of his or her service:
• |
as a present or former director or officer of Americold Realty Trust, Inc. or an observer on the board of trustees of Americold Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust and predecessor to Americold Realty Trust, Inc. ("Americold Realty Trust"); or |
• |
while a director or officer of Americold Realty Trust, Inc. or an observer on the board of trustees of Americold Realty Trust and at our request or the request of Americold Realty Trust, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, member, manager, employee or agent of another real estate investment trust, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust or employee benefit plan or any other enterprise, |
from and against any claim or liability to which he or she may become subject or that he or she may incur by reason of his or her service in any of these capacities, and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification to pay or reimburse his or her reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. The charter and bylaws also permit it to indemnify and advance expenses to any individual who served any of Americold Realty Trust, Inc.'s predecessors in any of the capacities described above and any employee or agent of Americold Realty Trust, Inc. or any of its predecessors.
Americold Realty Trust, Inc. has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers.
Americold Realty Operating Partnership, L.P.
Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act empowers a Delaware limited partnership to indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its partnership agreement.
II-2
The amended and restated limited partnership agreement ("limited partnership agreement") of the Operating Partnership indemnifies our company, as general partner, and its directors, officers, employees and any other persons it may designate from time to time from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the Operating Partnership's operations in which any indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established that:
• |
the act or omission of the indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; |
• |
the indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or |
• |
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. |
The limited partnership agreement also requires the Operating Partnership to reimburse an indemnitee for reasonable expenses incurred by an indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Operating Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the indemnitee of the indemnitee's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Operating Partnership has been met and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay the amount so paid or reimbursed by the Operating Partnership if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
Americold Australian Holdings Pty Ltd
To the extent permitted by law, Americold Australian Holdings' constitution expressly allows every officer (which includes directors) of Americold Australian Holdings to be indemnified out of the assets of Americold Australian Holdings against any liability incurred by them in relation to the execution of their office. However, an indemnity cannot be given in respect of the following liabilities and costs, as set out under section 199A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the "Act"):
1. |
liability owed to the company or a related body corporate; |
2. |
liability for a pecuniary penalty order or a compensation order; |
3. |
liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate and did not arise out of conduct in good faith; and |
4. |
legal costs incurred in connection with proceedings: |
a. |
to defend a person found to be liable for any of points 1 to 3 above; |
b. |
to defend criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty; |
c. |
brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established; or |
d. |
in connection with proceeds for relief to the person under the Act in which the court denies the relief. |
Americold Realty Operations, Inc.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the New Parent Guarantor states that the New Parent Guarantor will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by law. The New Parent Guarantor's Bylaws dictate that the New Parent Guarantor will indemnify any person who was or is threatened or made party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative, or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is, or a another person for whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the New Parent Guarantor, or is or was serving at the request of the New Parent Guarantor as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, for all losses and expenses reasonably incurred.
Icecap Properties NZ Limited
Section 162 of the Companies Act 1993 (NZ) permits a company to indemnify its directors and employees if the company's constitution expressly permits the company to do so. Icecap's constitution expressly allows it to indemnify its and its wholly owned subsidiaries' directors and employees against any liability for any act or omission in his or her capacity as a director or employee. Such indemnity is limited in that a director cannot be indemnified for criminal liability or liability arising from the director's breach of his or her duty to act in good faith and the best interests of Icecap. In relation to an employee, the indemnity is limited in that it excludes criminal liability and liability arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed to Icecap or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries.
II-3
Nova Cold Logistics ULC
Nova Cold's Articles of Association state that Nova Cold shall indemnify each of its current and former directors and officers against all costs, losses and expenses that they may incur or become liable to pay in respect of any claim made against them or any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which they are made a party by reason of being or having been directors or officers of Nova Cold, whether Nova Cold is a claimant or party to such action or proceeding or otherwise. Such directors or officers must have acted without any dishonesty. Any amount for which such indemnity is proved will immediately attach as a lien on the property of Nova Cold and will have priority against the shareholders over all other claims.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrants hereby undertake:
(a) (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrants pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrants pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of this registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that
II-6
prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(e) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrants undertake that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrants relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants or used or referred to by the undersigned registrants;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrants or their securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrants; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrants to the purchaser.
(f) The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of Americold Realty Trust, Inc.'s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(g) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
