Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 12, 2016, CECO Environmental Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into indemnification agreements (the “Indemnification Agreement”) with each of its directors and certain of its officers. The Indemnification Agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law (and to any greater extent that Delaware law may in the future permit). The Indemnification Agreement provides procedures for the determination of a director’s and/or officer’s right to receive indemnification and the advancement of expenses. Subject to the express terms of the Indemnification Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the Indemnification Agreement continue even after a covered party ceases to be a director and/or officer of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indemnification Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
