Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 5, 2025, Four Corners Property Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an indemnification agreement with each of the Company’s independent directors effective as of November 5, 2025 (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”). The Indemnification Agreements provide, in general, that the Company will indemnify these individuals to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law and the Company’s charter against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the Company and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified upon the Company’s receipt of certain affirmations and undertakings. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to independent directors, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable. The foregoing description of the Indemnification Agreements is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Indemnification Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
