Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 6, 2015, Furmanite Corporation (the "Company") entered into a settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with Mustang Capital Management, LLC ("Mustang"), John K.H. Linnartz, Jeffery G. Davis and David E. Fanta (Mr. Linnartz, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fanta and Mustang collectively the "Mustang Parties") pursuant to which the Company and the Mustang Parties settled the previously pending proxy contest for the election of directors at Furmanite's 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, on May 6, 2015, the Furmanite board of directors expanded the size of the board to seven directors and appointed Mr. Linnartz, Mr. Davis and Mr. Fanta (the "Mustang Nominees") to fill the resulting vacancies (including the vacancy created by the retirement of Sangwoo Ahn from the Furmanite Board effective as of the execution of the Settlement Agreement).   In addition, the Company agreed to nominate each of the Mustang Nominees for election to the Furmanite board of directors at the 2015 Annual Meeting alongside the Company's previously recommended director nominees. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mustang will also have certain replacement rights in the event these nominees are unable to serve as directors, and the independent directors other than the Mustang Nominees will have certain replacement rights in the event such persons are unable to serve as directors.  Each Board Committee will include at least one of the Mustang Nominees.  The specific committees which the Mustang Nominees will join has not yet been determined.
The Furmanite board of directors has also formed a transaction committee of the board consisting of Joseph E. Milliron, Kevin R. Jost and David E. Fanta, which will have responsibility for overseeing any sale process involving the Company, for evaluating the previously announced indication of interest received by the Company, and for evaluating any other alternative transaction proposals received by the Company and making a recommendation to the full board of directors with respect to such matters.
The Settlement Agreement contains various other terms and provisions, including with respect to standstill and voting commitments entered into by the Mustang Parties, Company reimbursement of the Mustang Entities' out-of-pocket, documented expenses in connection with the nomination of the Mustang Nominees and the Company's 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, mutual releases of claims among the parties with respect to the nomination of directors at the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and related matters and the Mustang Entities' withdrawal of certain litigation. The Settlement Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference.  The foregoing description of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.
Except for the Settlement Agreement, there were no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which any of Mr. Linnartz, Mr. Davis and Mr. Fanta was appointed to the Furmanite board of directors, and since the beginning of the last fiscal year, there have been no related party transactions between the Company and any of the director appointees.
