(1)          Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Registrant’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) that become issuable under the Registrant’s Tremor Video, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”)  and the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2014 ESPP,” and collectively with the 2013 Plan, the “Plans”) by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without receipt of consideration that increases the number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

(2)          Represents additional shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2013 Plan by reason of the automatic increase provision of the 2013 Plan.  The 2013 Plan share reserve will automatically increase on January 1 of each year, for a period of ten years continuing through and including January 1, 2023, by the lesser of 4.00% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Registrant’s Board of Directors.

(3)          Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the amount of the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) promulgated under the Securities Act. The proposed maximum offering price per share and the proposed maximum aggregate offering price are calculated using the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on July 21, 2014.

(the “Registrant”) is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the purpose of registering an additional (a) 1,999,930 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable to eligible persons under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which Common Stock is in addition to the shares of Common Stock registered on the Registrant’s Form S-8 filed on June 28, 2013 (File No. 333-189682) (the “Prior Registration Statement”), and (b) 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable to eligible persons under the 2014 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2014 ESPP,” and collectively with the 2013 Plan, the “Plans”).  The additional 1,999,930 shares of Common Stock have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision in the 2013 Plan, which provides that the total number of shares reserved under such plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year pursuant to a specified formula.  Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, this Registration Statement hereby incorporates by reference the contents of the Prior Registration Statement referenced above.

(a)                                       The content of the earlier registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the 2013 Plan, previously filed with the Commission on June 28, 2013 (File No. 333-189682);

 

(b)                                       The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 28, 2014, which contains audited financial statements for the Registrant’s latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed;

 

(c)                                        The information specifically incorporated by reference into the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 from its Definitive Proxy Statement on Form 14A for its 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the Commission on April 29, 2014;

 

(d)                                       The Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed with the Commission on May 15, 2014;

 

(e)                                        The Registrant’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, June 20, 2014, June 23, 2014, and July 3, 2014; and

 

(f)                                         The description of the Registrant’s common stock contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on June 21, 2013 (File No. 001-35982) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act”), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

 

All other reports and documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than Current Reports furnished under Item 2.02 or Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and exhibits furnished on such form that relate to such items) shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference herein and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of the filing of such reports and documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document that also is deemed to be incorporated by reference

herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

 

ITEM 4.                                                DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 5.                                                INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 6.                                                INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the liability of its directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent under applicable law.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide that:

 

·                  the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the extent not prohibited by law, subject to certain limited exceptions;

 

·                  the Registrant may indemnify its other officers, employees and agents to the extent not prohibited by law;

 

·                  the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions; and

 

·                  the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.

 

In addition, the Registrant has entered, and intends to continue to enter, into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and officers.  These agreements provide for the indemnification of directors and officers for all expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were agents of the Registrant.

 

The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers for securities matters.

 

The indemnification provisions in the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into or to be entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and officers is sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 9 hereof.

ITEM 9.                                                UNDERTAKINGS

 

1.                                      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(a)                                 To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)                                    To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

 

(ii)                                To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii)                            To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

(b)                                 That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)                                  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

2.                                      The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

3.                                      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
