Resignation of Sarfraz Maredia
On June 17, 2026, Sarfraz Maredia, a member of the Board of Directors
(the “Board”) of Serve Robotics Inc. (the “Company”) informed the Company of his decision to resign from the Board,
effective immediately. Mr. Maredia’s decision to resign did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating
to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Appointment of Andreas Lieber
On June 22, 2026, upon the recommendation
of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board, the Board appointed Andreas Lieber as a member of the Board, effective
immediately, to serve as a Class I director filling the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Maredia. Mr. Lieber will serve until
the Company’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death,
resignation or removal.
Mr. Lieber will be compensated for his service
as a director in accordance with the Company’s amended and restated outside director compensation policy, as described in the Company’s
Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2026, in connection with the
Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Lieber has entered into a customary indemnification
agreement with the Company in the form previously approved by the Board pursuant to which the Company has agreed to indemnify Mr. Lieber
to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of his service to the Company and to advance
his expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him to which he could be indemnified. The foregoing description of the Indemnification
Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such Indemnification Agreement, the form of which is filed as
Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated in this Item 5.02 by reference.
Mr. Lieber currently serves as General Manager,
Industry & Technology at California Forever, where he leads the development of the Solano Foundry, one of the largest planned advanced
manufacturing parks in North America, a position he has held since April 2024. Prior to that, he held various roles at Shippo, an e-commerce
shipping platform, including Chief Operating Officer from 2022 to 2024 and Chief Business Officer from 2021 to 2022. Before joining Shippo,
Mr. Lieber served as General Manager and Interim CEO of Postmates from December 2020 to August 2021, and as Senior Vice President of Business
Development and Corporate Development at Postmates from January 2019 to December 2020. Mr. Lieber previously held senior roles at Pinterest,
Groupon and Yahoo!. Mr. Lieber has a degree in Business Administration from the University of Applied Sciences Aachen (FH Aachen). We
believe that Mr. Lieber is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his extensive experience and expertise in technology, business
development, and strategic partnerships across the logistics, e-commerce, and mobility industries.
There are no family relationships between any
director or executive officer of the Company and Mr. Lieber and no transactions reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which
he has a direct or indirect material interest. Further, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lieber and any other person
pursuant to which he was appointed as a director. The Board has determined that Mr. Lieber qualifies as an “independent director”
under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC and the applicable Nasdaq rules. On June 24, 2026, the Company issued a press
release announcing the appointment of Mr. Lieber as director. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

EX-10.1 — FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
EX-10.1
Filename: ea029551901ex10-1.htm · Sequence: 2
Exhibit 10.1
Serve
Robotics Inc.
Indemnification
Agreement
This Indemnification Agreement (this “Agreement”)
is made as of June 22, by and between Serve Robotics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Andreas Lieber
(“Indemnitee”).
RECITALS
The Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing
difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for directors, officers and key employees, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance
and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance. The Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in
corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers and key employees to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the
availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited. Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available
as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee may not be willing to continue to serve in Indemnitee’s current capacity
with the Company without additional protection. The Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals,
such as Indemnitee, and to indemnify its directors, officers and key employees so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted
by law.
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual promises made in
this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company
and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
1. Indemnification.
(a) Third-Party
Proceedings. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as such may be amended from time to time, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any Proceeding
(other than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor), against all Expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of a criminal
Proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.
(b) Proceedings
By or in the Right of the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify
Indemnitee, if Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made a party to or a participant (as a witness or otherwise) in any
Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor, against all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudicated by court order or judgment to be
liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such Proceeding is or was
pending shall determine upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
(c) Success
on the Merits. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the
merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1(a) or Section 1(b) or the defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, in whole or in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by
Indemnitee in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise
as to one or more but less than all claims, issues or matters in a Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses
actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such successfully resolved claims, issues or matters to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law. If any Proceeding is disposed of on the merits or otherwise (including a disposition without prejudice),
without (i) the disposition being adverse to Indemnitee, (ii) an adjudication that Indemnitee was liable to the Company, (iii) a plea
of guilty by Indemnitee, (iv) an adjudication that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and (v) with respect to any criminal Proceeding, an adjudication that Indemnitee
had reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful, Indemnitee shall be considered for the purposes hereof to have
been wholly successful with respect thereto.
(d) Witness
Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent that Indemnitee is a witness or otherwise asked
to participate in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding.
2. Indemnification
Procedure.
(a) Advancement of
Expenses. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall advance all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of a statement
requesting such advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of any Proceeding. Such advances shall be
unsecured and interest free and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the Expenses and without regard
to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under the other provisions of this Agreement. Indemnitee shall be
entitled to continue to receive advancement of Expenses pursuant to this Section 2(a) unless and until the matter of
Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder has been finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no
further right of appeal exists. Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it
ultimately is determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the other provisions of this
Agreement. Indemnitee shall qualify for advances upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, which shall constitute the
requisite undertaking with respect to repayment of advances made hereunder and no other form of undertaking shall be required to
qualify for advances made hereunder other than the execution of this Agreement.
-2-
(b) Notice
and Cooperation by Indemnitee. Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation,
subpoena, complaint, indictment, information or other document relating to any Proceeding or matter for which indemnification will or
could be sought under this Agreement. Such notice to the Company shall include a description of the nature of, and facts underlying, the
Proceeding, shall be directed to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 13(e)
below. In addition, Indemnitee shall give the Company such additional information and cooperation as the Company may reasonably request.
Indemnitee’s failure to so notify, provide information and otherwise cooperate with the Company shall not relieve the Company of
any obligation that it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Company is adversely affected by such
failure.
(c) Determination
of Entitlement.
(i) Final
Disposition. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification under
this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding.
(ii) Determination
and Payment. Subject to the foregoing, promptly after receipt of a statement requesting payment with respect to the
indemnification rights set forth in Section 1, to the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall take the steps
necessary to authorize such payment in the manner set forth in Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Company
shall pay any claims made under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification or advancement of Expenses, within thirty (30) days after a written request
for payment thereof has first been received by the Company, and if such claim is not paid in full within such thirty (30)
day-period, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter bring an action against the Company in the Delaware Court of
Chancery to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 12, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for
all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any
such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for advancement of Expenses under Section 2(a)) that Indemnitee
has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the
amount claimed. In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity
making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement and the Company shall
have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption with clear and convincing evidence to the contrary. The termination of any
Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of
itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause
to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. In addition, it is the parties’ intention that if the Company
contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for the
court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of
Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper
in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual
determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent
legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that
Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. If any requested determination with respect to entitlement to
indemnification hereunder has not been made within ninety (90) days after the final disposition of the Proceeding, the requisite
determination that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be deemed to have been made.
-3-
(d) Payment
Directions. To the extent payments are required to be made hereunder, the Company shall, in accordance with Indemnitee’s
request (but without duplication), (i) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (ii) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient
to pay such Expenses, or (iii) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses.
(e) Notice
to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, the Company has director
and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Proceeding to the insurers
in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action
to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms
of such policies. The Company shall provide to Indemnitee: (i) copies of all potentially applicable directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policies, (ii) a copy of such notice delivered to the applicable insurers, and (iii) copies of all subsequent correspondence
between the Company and such insurers regarding the Proceeding, in each case substantially concurrently with the delivery or receipt thereof
by the Company.
(f) Defense of Claim
and Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section 2(a) hereof to advance Expenses
with respect to any Proceeding, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding, with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election so to do, and upon
Indemnitee providing signed, written consent to such assumption, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. After delivery of such
notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to
Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding,
provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any such Proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and
(ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee
shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any
such defense or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Proceeding, then the
fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company. In addition, if there exists a potential,
but not an actual conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee, the actual and reasonable legal fees and expenses
incurred by Indemnitee for separate counsel retained by Indemnitee to monitor the Proceeding (so that such counsel may assume
Indemnitee’s defense if the conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee becomes an actual conflict of interest)
shall be deemed to be Expenses that are subject to indemnification hereunder. The existence of an actual or potential conflict of
interest, and whether such conflict may be waived, shall be determined pursuant to the rules of attorney professional conduct and
applicable law. The Company shall not be required to obtain the consent of Indemnitee for the settlement of any Proceeding the
Company has undertaken to defend if the Company assumes full and sole responsibility for each such settlement; provided, however,
that the Company shall be required to obtain Indemnitee’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
before entering into any settlement which (1) does not grant Indemnitee a complete release of liability, (2) would impose any
penalty or limitation on Indemnitee, or (3) would admit any liability or misconduct by Indemnitee.
-4-
3. Additional
Indemnification Rights.
(a) Scope.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted
by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s
Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement,
in any applicable law, statute, or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors
or an officer, such changes shall be deemed to be within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and the Company’s obligations
under this Agreement. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation
to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute
or rule to be applied to this Agreement shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.
(b) Nonexclusivity.
The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested members of the Company’s
Board of Directors, the Delaware General Corporation Law, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and
as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
(c) Interest
on Unpaid Amounts. If any payment to be made by the Company to Indemnitee hereunder is delayed by more than ninety (90) days from
the date the duly prepared request for such payment is received by the Company, interest shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at
the legal rate under Delaware law for amounts which the Company indemnifies or is obligated to indemnify for the period commencing with
the date on which Indemnitee actually incurs such Expense or pays such judgment, fine or amount in settlement and ending with the date
on which such payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.
(d) Third-Party
Indemnification. The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee has or may from time to time obtain certain rights to
indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more third parties (collectively, the
“Third-Party Indemnitors”). The Company hereby agrees that it is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its
obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Third-Party Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide
indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), and that the Company will not assert
that the Indemnitee must seek expense advancement or reimbursement, or indemnification, from any Third-Party Indemnitor before the
Company must perform its expense advancement and reimbursement, and indemnification obligations, under this Agreement. No
advancement or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has
sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing. The Third-Party Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of
such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery which Indemnitee would have had against the Company if the Third-Party
Indemnitors had not advanced or paid any amount to or on behalf of Indemnitee. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction
determines that the Third-Party Indemnitors are not entitled to the subrogation rights described in the preceding sentence, the
Third-Party Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution by the Company to the Third-Party Indemnitors with respect to any advance
or payment by the Third-Party Indemnitors to or on behalf of the Indemnitee.
-5-
4. Partial
Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or
a portion of the Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a Proceeding,
but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses,
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled.
5. Director
and Officer Liability Insurance.
(a) D&O
Policy. The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company
to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the directors and officers of the
Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under
this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection
afforded by such coverage. In all policies of director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such
a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors,
if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or
of the Company’s key employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance
is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage
provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance
maintained by a parent or subsidiary of the Company.
(b) Tail
Coverage. In the event of a Change of Control or the Company’s becoming insolvent (including being placed into
receivership or entering the federal bankruptcy process and the like), the Company shall maintain in force any and all insurance
policies then maintained by the Company in providing insurance (directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary,
employment practices or otherwise) in respect of Indemnitee, for a period of six years thereafter.
6. Severability.
Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation
of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute
a breach of this Agreement. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction,
then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that
shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
7. Exclusions.
Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:
(a) Claims
Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily
by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to Proceedings brought to establish, enforce or interpret a right to indemnification
under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law,
but such indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors finds it
to be appropriate; provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in the first clause of this subsection shall not be deemed to apply
to any investigation initiated or brought by Indemnitee to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable in support of Indemnitee’s
defense of a Proceeding to which Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be made, a party;
-6-
(b) Lack
of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee with respect to any Proceeding instituted by Indemnitee
to establish, enforce or interpret a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required
under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material
assertions made by Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous;
(c) Unlawful
Payments. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the extent it is determined by a final court order or judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction, to which all rights of appeal have either lapsed or been exhausted, that such indemnification is unlawful;
(d) Certain
Conduct. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses on account of Indemnitee’s conduct that is established by a final court order
or judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, to which all rights of appeal have either lapsed or been exhausted, as knowingly fraudulent;
(e) Insured
Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for Expenses to the extent such Expenses have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance
carrier under an insurance policy maintained by the Company; or
(f) Certain Exchange Act Claims.
To indemnify Indemnitee in connection with any claim made against Indemnitee for (i) an accounting of profits made from the purchase
and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act or any similar successor statute or any similar provisions of state statutory law or common law, or (ii) any reimbursement of
the Company by Indemnitee of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by
Indemnitee from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the Exchange Act (including any such
reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of
Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act); provided, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and to the
extent Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise with respect to any such Proceeding, the Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any such Proceeding shall be deemed to be Expenses that are subject to indemnification
hereunder.
-7-
8. Contribution
Claims.
(a) If the
indemnification provided in Section 1 is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any reason other than
those set forth in Section 7, then in respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would
be if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee,
shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid in
settlement, in connection with any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives
and relinquishes any right of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.
(b) Without diminishing or impairing the
obligations of the Company set forth in the preceding Section 8(a), if, for any reason, Indemnitee shall elect or be required
to pay all or any portion of any Expenses, judgment or settlement in any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount of Expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by Indemnitee in proportion to the relative benefits
received by the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who are jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, from the transaction or
events from which such Proceeding arose; provided, however, that the proportion determined on the basis of relative benefit may, to
the extent necessary to conform to law, be further adjusted by reference to the relative fault of the Company and all officers,
directors or employees of the Company other than Indemnitee who are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such
Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand, in connection with the transaction or events that resulted in such
Expenses, judgments, fines or settlement amounts, as well as any other equitable considerations which applicable law may require to
be considered. The relative fault of the Company and all officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who
are jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such Proceeding), on the one hand, and Indemnitee, on the other hand,
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the degree to which their actions were motivated by intent to gain personal
profit or advantage, the degree to which their liability is primary or secondary and the degree to which their conduct is active or
passive.
(c) With
respect to a Proceeding brought against directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company (other than Indemnitee), to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee from any claims for contribution that may be brought by any
such directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company (other than Indemnitee) who may be jointly liable with Indemnitee, to the
same extent Indemnitee would have been entitled to such indemnification under this Agreement if such Proceeding had been brought against
Indemnitee.
-8-
9. No
Imputation. The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or the
Company itself shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining any rights under this Agreement.
10. Determination
of Good Faith. For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s
action is based on the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee
by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or the Board of
Directors of the Enterprise or any counsel selected by any committee of the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or on information or
records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser, investment banker, compensation
consultant, or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise or the Board of Directors of the Enterprise or any committee
thereof. The provisions of this Section 10 shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in
which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct. Whether or not the foregoing provisions of this Section
are satisfied, it shall in any event be presumed that Indemnitee has at all times acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.
11. Defined

from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors,
or (2) such acquisition was approved in advance by the Continuing Directors and such acquisition would not constitute a Change of Control
under part (iii) of this definition.
(ii) Change
in Board of Directors. Individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement, constitute the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”),
and any new director whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote

Owners of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially
own, directly or indirectly, more than 51% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of the Company entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors resulting from such Business Combination (including a corporation which as a result of such
transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries)
in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination, of the securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors and with the power to elect at least a majority of the Board or other governing body of the
surviving entity; (2) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination) is the Beneficial Owner, directly
or indirectly, of 15% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination; and (3) at least
a majority of the Board of Directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were Continuing Directors at the time
of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board of Directors, providing for such Business Combination.

The approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement or series of agreements for
the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, other than factoring the Company’s
current receivables or escrows due (or, if such approval is not required, the decision by the Board to proceed with such a liquidation,
sale or disposition in one transaction or a series of related transactions).
(v) Other
Events. There occurs any other event of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of

Company is then subject to such reporting requirement.
(c) “Company” shall include,
in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a

constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, trustee,
general partner, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position
under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect
to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(d) “Enterprise”
means the Company and any other enterprise that Indemnitee was or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner
(general, limited or otherwise), member (managing or otherwise), trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent.

obligations or expenses in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend, investigating, being or preparing
to be a witness in, settlement or appeal of, or otherwise participating in a Proceeding. Expenses also shall include any of the forgoing
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Proceeding, including the principal, premium, security for,
and other costs relating to any costs bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent. Expenses also shall include any interest,

that “Person” shall exclude: (i) the Company; (ii) any direct or indirect majority owned subsidiaries of the Company; (iii)
any employee benefit plan of the Company or any direct or indirect majority owned subsidiaries of the Company or of any corporation owned,

criminal, administrative, legislative or investigative (formal or informal) nature, including any appeal therefrom, in which
Indemnitee was, is, will or might be involved as a party, potential party, non-party witness or otherwise by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, by reason of any action (or failure to act) taken by
Indemnitee or of any action (or failure to act) on Indemnitee’s part while acting as a director, officer, employee or agent of
the Company, or by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
partner (general, limited or otherwise), member (managing or otherwise), trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other
enterprise, in each case whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for which
indemnification, reimbursement or advancement of expenses can be provided under this Agreement.

Fees. In the event that any Proceeding is instituted by Indemnitee under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms
hereof, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with
such Proceeding, unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by Indemnitee as a basis
for such Proceeding were not made in good faith or were frivolous. In the event of a Proceeding instituted by or in the name of the Company
under this Agreement or to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all
Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such Proceeding (including with respect to Indemnitee’s
counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of Indemnitee’s
material defenses to such action were made in bad faith or were frivolous.
13. Miscellaneous.
(a) Governing
Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement, and all acts and transactions pursuant hereto
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state

Agreement; Binding Effect. Without limiting any of the rights of Indemnitee described in Section 3(b), this Agreement

discussions and supersedes any and all previous agreements between them covering the subject matter herein. The indemnification
provided under this Agreement applies with respect to events occurring before or after the effective date of this Agreement, and
shall continue to apply even after Indemnitee has ceased to serve the Company in any and all indemnified capacities.
-12-
(c) Amendments
and Waivers. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective
unless in writing signed by the parties to this Agreement. No delay or failure to require performance of any provision of this Agreement
shall constitute a waiver of that provision as to that or any other instance.
(d) Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors (including any direct or indirect successor by
purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company) and assigns, and

all of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to
assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if

when delivered personally or by overnight courier or sent by email, or 48 hours after being deposited in the U.S. mail as certified or
registered mail with postage prepaid, addressed to the party to be notified at such party’s address as set forth on the signature
page, as subsequently modified by written notice, or if no address is specified on the signature page, at the most recent address set

in good faith. In the event that the parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were
so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(g) Construction.
This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by each of the parties hereto and their respective counsel,
if any; accordingly, this Agreement shall be deemed to be the product of all of the parties hereto, and no ambiguity shall be construed
in favor of or against any one of the parties hereto.
(h) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original,
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Execution of a facsimile or scanned copy will have the same force

(i) No
Employment Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to create in Indemnitee any right to continued employment.

Position. The Company shall be precluded from asserting, in any Proceeding brought for purposes of establishing, enforcing or

Exhibit 99.1
Serve Robotics Appoints Andreas Lieber to Board
of Directors
SAN FRANCISCO, June 24, 2026 -- Serve Robotics Inc. (Nasdaq:
SERV), a leading autonomous robotics company, today announced the appointment of Andreas Lieber to the company’s Board of Directors,
effective June 22, 2026. Mr. Lieber will replace Sarfraz Maredia, Global Head of Autonomous Mobility
& Delivery at Uber, who is stepping down after serving three years on Serve’s Board.
Andreas Lieber brings deep experience scaling technology and logistics
businesses across Uber, Postmates, Pinterest, Groupon, Yahoo, and T-Mobile. At Postmates, he served as General Manager and interim CEO,
leading the company through its integration with Uber, the period during which Serve was spun out as an independent company. He later
served as Chief Operating Officer of Shippo, the logistics and shipping platform, and currently serves as General Manager, Industry &
Technology, at California Forever, where he is responsible for building and leading the company’s manufacturing and industrial business
across one of the country’s largest planned development projects.
“Serve started on sidewalks delivering food, and we’re now operating robots in hospitals and kitchens as well as beginning to build
the infrastructure for other robotics companies to run on. That’s a different company than the one we started, and the board is growing
with it,” said Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics. “Andreas has built and scaled exactly this kind of platform,
at Postmates and Shippo in logistics, at Uber and Pinterest, and now city-scale infrastructure at California Forever. That’s the perspective
we need as we grow.”
“Sarfraz Maredia joined
us when sidewalk delivery was still considered niche. He helped us build the discipline and focus that made our evolution possible, and
played an important role in helping Serve become a public company. We’re grateful for that foundation,” added Kashani.
“It has been a privilege
to serve on Serve’s Board over the past three years. Watching this team grow a small footprint in sidewalk robots into a robotics
infrastructure company has been exciting to see,” said Sarfraz Maredia. “Given his background at Postmates and Uber,
I am confident Andreas Lieber is the right person for where Serve is headed, and I look forward to watching what comes next.”
About Serve Robotics
Serve Robotics (Nasdaq: SERV) designs and operates autonomous robots
that navigate complex, human-centric environments. Since spinning off from Uber in 2021, Serve has deployed more than 2,000 robots across
the U.S., reaching a population of approximately 3 million and supporting delivery for more than 4,000 restaurants. In 2026, Serve acquired
Diligent Robotics, expanding its operations beyond sidewalk delivery into indoor service robots used in hospitals. Serve designs both
the hardware and software behind its robots, enabling them to work safely in public and private environments at scale.
