Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with a routine review of governance documents, on April 23, 2014, the board of directors of Stamps.com Inc. (the “Company”) modified the Company’s standard form of directors and officers Indemnification Agreement and entered into such modified agreements (the “Agreement”) with its directors, executive officers and certain non-executive officers.  The Agreement is substantially similar to the prior form of indemnification agreement previously used by the Company and filed with the Company’s public filings, modified to provide or clarify the following items, among other matters: (i) provide for the Company’s right to assume the defense of the indemnitee when the Company must indemnify the indemnitee in a proceeding, (ii) clarify that indemnifiable expenses include those incurred by the indemnitee in connection with any appeal and (iii) clarify the limitations on an indemnitee’s right to indemnification in cases where the indemnitee brings a proceeding against the Company.  The Company may enter into Agreements with any other persons who are or become directors, executive officers or non-executive officers.

Each Agreement with a current director or officer amends and restates, from and after its date, the prior indemnification agreement between the Company and such director or officer, if such director or officer was a party to a prior indemnification agreement with the Company.  The Agreement is intended for use by the Company for indemnification agreements entered into by the Company with directors or officers on or after April 23, 2014.

The foregoing is only a brief description of the Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
