Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The laws of the State of Florida and our Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors for liabilities and expenses that they may incur in such capacities. In general, directors and officers are indemnified with respect to actions taken in good faith in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Salty’s Warehouse, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, actions that the indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe were unlawful. Salty’s Warehouse has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933(the “Act”) is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Compensation of Directors

Directors of the Company do not receive any cash compensation, but are entitled to reimbursement of their reasonable expenses incurred in attending directors' meetings.
