EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 under the 1933 Act, this Registration Statement is filed by Boingo Wireless, Inc. (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering additional shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) under the 2011 Plan. The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2011 Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on the first day of each of fiscal year of the Company during the term of the 2011 Plan equal to the lowest of (a) 4.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, (b)  3,000,000 shares (subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, etc.), or (c) a number of shares of Common Stock determined by the Registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Evergreen Provision”). Accordingly, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2011 Plan was increased by 1,511,288 shares effective January 1, 2012. This Registration Statement registers the 1,511,288 additional shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2011 Plan as a result of the Evergreen Provision.

 

The shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to this Registration Statement are of the same class of securities as the 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock registered for issuance under the 2011 Plan pursuant to the currently effective Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-174157) filed on May 12, 2011 (the “Original Registration Statement”). The contents of the Original Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, are incorporated herein by this reference. Any items in the Original Registration Statement not expressly changed hereby shall be as set forth in the Original Registration Statement.

 

PART II

 

Information Required in the Registration Statement

 

Item 3.           Incorporation of Documents by Reference

 

The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):

 

(a)                                  The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on April 14, 2012; and

 

(b)                                 The description of the Registrant’s Common Stock contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement No. 001-35155 on Form 8-A filed with the SEC on April 27, 2011, pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

 

All documents, reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents.

 

Item 8.           Exhibits

 

See the accompanying Exhibit Index for a list of Exhibits to this Registration Statement, which Is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 9.  Undertakings

 

A.            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

 

II-1



 

prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 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; and (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 undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

 

C.            Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
