Item 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

On April 24, 2014, the Board of Directors of Techne Corporation (the “Company”), approved a form of indemnification agreement (the “Indemnification Agreement”) and authorized the Company to enter into an Indemnification Agreement with each of the Company’s directors and executive officers and certain other employees as determined by the Company’s chief executive officer (each an “Indemnitee”).

The Indemnification Agreement clarifies the process and conditions under which the Company will advance expenses and indemnify each Indemnitee against costs incurred in connection with a proceeding to which an Indemnitee is made party to, or threatened to be made party to, by reason of anything done or not done by the Indemnitee in his or her official capacity, or in which he or she serves as a witness by reason of such official capacity. The indemnification rights provided for in the Indemnification Agreement supersede other agreements on the topics of indemnification and advancement, including the Company’s Bylaws, and supplement indemnification and advancement rights provided for under applicable law.

This foregoing description of the material terms 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, which is attached as Exhibit 10.27 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

On August 27, 2014, the Company, Research and Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (“R&D”), a Minnesota corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Cayenne Merger Sub, Inc.

Under the Agreement, the parties agreed that they have no obligations under Section 5.5 of the Merger Agreement to enter into any agreement relating to certain pre-merger services. In addition, the Agreement clarifies that certain leases or licenses of the CyPlex analyzer solely for binding commitments to purchase cartridges will constitute valid leases or licenses for purposes of the Commercial Milestone Achievement set forth in Section 7.8 of the Merger Agreement, and that certain related customers will be considered separate, independent, unaffiliated third-party customers for purposes of meeting the Commercial Milestone Achievement set forth in Section 7.8 of the Merger Agreement.

This description of the material terms of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2014.
