EXPLANATORY NOTE
 
Angie's List, Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-178131) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 23, 2011 (the “Initial Registration Statement”), which registered shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) available for issuance under the Angie’s List, Inc. Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Initial Registration Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

On July 9, 2015, the Registrant’s shareholders approved the Angie’s List, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). Under the ESPP, 1,755,500 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock are available for issuance thereunder.

The Registrant has filed this Form S-8 Registration Statement (this "Registration Statement") to register: (i) 2,930,214 additional shares of Common Stock, not previously registered, that are available for issuance under the Incentive Plan pursuant to the automatic share reserve increase provision of the Incentive Plan (the “Additional Incentive Plan Shares”); and (ii) 1,755,500 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock that are available for issuance under the ESPP (the "ESPP Shares").

This Registration Statement is hereby filed to reflect that, following the date hereof, the Additional Incentive Plan Shares are registered under the Incentive Plan, and the ESPP Shares are registered under ESPP.

All documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and are a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; except as to any portion of any future annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document or current report furnished under current Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K that is not deemed filed under such provisions.

Item 4.        Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.        Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate”) provides that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits the Certificate from limiting the liability of the Registrant’s directors for the following:

breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions; and

any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

If Delaware law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director, then the liability of the Registrant’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as so amended. The Certificate does not eliminate a director’s duty of care and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies, such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief, remain available under Delaware law. This provision also does not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or other state or federal laws. Under the Certificate, the Registrant is empowered to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and other agents and to purchase insurance on behalf of any person whom the Registrant is required or permitted to indemnify.

In addition to the indemnification required in the Certificate, the Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and executive officers, and other employees as determined by the Registrant’s board of directors, against expenses and liabilities to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. These agreements also provide, subject to certain exceptions, for indemnification for related expenses including, among others, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. The Registrant believes that the provisions in the Certificate and the indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers. The Registrant also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to cover liabilities its directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to the Registrant.

Item 7.        Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 9.        Undertakings.

A.
The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)
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 20 percent 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)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and 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; and

(2)
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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)
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.

B.
The 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 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.

C.
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.
