Table of Contents
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on May 8, 2014, and any other reports that we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Our subsequent filings with the SEC may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. See “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” on page 8. These risk factors should be read together with the financial and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus before making a decision to buy our common stock. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, include or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements include all statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “may,” “could,” “will” and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
We have based these forward-looking statements largely upon our current expectations, estimates and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These statements reflect our beliefs and certain assumptions based upon information made available to us at the time of this prospectus or the time of the documents incorporated by reference.
Such forward-looking statements are only predictions, which may differ materially from actual results or future events. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot be sure that they will be achieved. Among the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” set forth in our periodic reports filed with the SEC which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See “Risk Factors” above. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us. It should be recognized that other factors, including general economic factors and business strategies, may be significant, presently or in the future, and the factors set forth in the documents incorporated by reference may affect us to a greater extent than indicated. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth in the documents incorporated by reference. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised to consult any additional disclosures we make in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 9.

Table of Contents
The selling stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from the sales of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
The following table sets forth information regarding the selling stockholders named below and the shares that may be offered and sold from time to time by them pursuant to this prospectus. The information set forth below is based on written representations provided to us by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders named below are referred to in this prospectus as the “selling stockholders.”
All of the shares that may be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus were issued to the selling stockholders in connection with our acquisition of NowSpots pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation D under the Securities Act. In connection with this acquisition, we agreed to register the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus under the Securities Act. See “Registration Rights” on page 2.
The selling stockholders may offer from time to time all or some or none of their shares under this prospectus. Since the selling stockholders are not obligated to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of their shares, and because the selling stockholders may acquire shares of our publicly-traded common stock, we cannot estimate how many shares each selling stockholder will own after this offering. The table below assumes that the selling stockholders will sell the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, based on representations made to us by the selling stockholders, none of the selling stockholders has or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates. To our knowledge, none of the selling stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers, nor at the time of the acquisition, did any selling stockholder have direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute their shares.

Table of Contents
The shares of common stock listed in the table appearing under “Selling Stockholders” are being registered to permit public secondary trading of these shares by the holders of such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. Registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those shares necessarily will be offered or sold. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. To our knowledge, the selling stockholders have not entered into any arrangements or understandings with any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent with respect to the sale of the shares covered by this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may sell such shares from time to time directly to purchasers (including pledgees) or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:
| • | through the New York Stock Exchange or on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale; |
| • | in the over-the-counter market; |
| • | in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market; |
| • | through the exercise of purchased or written options; |
| • | through a combination of any such methods; or |
| • | through any other method permitted under applicable law and our insider trading policy. |
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Broker-dealer transactions may include:
| • | a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell all or part of the block, as principal or agent, in order to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and a subsequent resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| • | pledges of shares to a broker-dealer, who may, in the event of default, purchase or sell the pledged shares; or |
| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers on behalf of the selling stockholders. |
In addition, selling stockholders who are neither an employee of ours nor otherwise subject to our insider trading policy may enter into option, derivative or hedging transactions with respect to the shares, and any related offers or sales of shares may be made pursuant to this prospectus. For example, the selling stockholders may:
| • | enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares by broker-dealers in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders; |
| • | sell shares short themselves and deliver the shares registered hereby to settle such short sales or to close out stock loans incurred in connection with their short positions; |
| • | write call options, put options or other derivative instruments (including exchange-traded options or privately negotiated options) with respect to the shares, or which they settle through delivery of the shares; |
6
Table of Contents
| • | enter into option transactions or other types of transactions that require the selling stockholder to deliver shares to a broker, dealer or other financial institution, who may then resell or transfer the shares under this prospectus; or |
| • | lend the shares to a broker, dealer or other financial institution, which may sell the lent shares. |
These option, derivative and hedging transactions may require the delivery to a broker, dealer or other financial institution of shares offered hereby, and such broker, dealer or other financial institution may resell such shares pursuant to this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters participating in transactions as agent may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of the shares, from such purchaser). The discounts, concessions or commissions as to a particular broker, dealer, agent or underwriter might be in excess of those customary in the type of transaction involved.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in such distribution may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Neither we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Any selling stockholder who is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder relating to stock manipulation. The selling stockholders may indemnify underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in transactions involving sales of the shares against specific liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to this offering of the shares by the selling stockholders to the public other than commissions and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents.
In order to comply with certain states’ securities laws, if applicable, the shares sold in those jurisdictions may only be sold through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
We do not assure you that the selling stockholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, we do not assure you that the selling stockholders will not transfer, devise or gift the shares by other means not described in this prospectus. Moreover, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
We may suspend the use of this prospectus if we learn of any event that causes this prospectus to include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in this prospectus or necessary to make the statements in this prospectus not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. If this type of event occurs, a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, if required, will be distributed to each selling stockholder.

| ITEM 15. | 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 of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation to be effective upon the closing of this offering contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except liability for the following:
| • | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to Registrant or its stockholders; |
| • | for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| • | under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases); or |
| • | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s restated bylaws provide that:
| • | the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions; |
| • | the Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law; |
| • | the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to very limited exceptions; and |
| • | the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive. |
In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding

the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. The indemnification provisions in the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation, restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into or to be entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers.
Reference is made to the following documents regarding relevant indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein:
Document
| 1. | Restated Certificate of Incorporation (see Exhibit 4.1). |
| 2. | Restated Bylaws (see Exhibit 4.2). |
| 3. | Form of Indemnification Agreement entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and executive officers (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.1 to the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-186669) filed with the Commission on March 4, 2013. |
At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or executive officer of the Registrant as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any executive officer or director.

| ITEM 17. | Undertakings. |
The undersigned 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 of 1933;
(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% 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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) above 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
