EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement is filed by Varonis Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) for the purpose of registering additional shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) under the Company’s 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2015 ESPP”) and the Company’s 2013 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”).

 

The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2015 ESPP is subject to an automatic annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the plan equal to one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of increase or such lesser amount necessary to bring the number of shares available for issuance up to two percent (2%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on each such December 31 (the “2015 ESPP Evergreen Provision”). Pursuant to the 2015 ESPP Evergreen Provision, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2015 ESPP was increased by 177,358 shares effective January 1, 2019. This Registration Statement registers the additional shares available for issuance under the 2015 ESPP as a result of the 2015 ESPP Evergreen Provision.

 

The number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year during the term of the plan equal to four percent (4%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of increase or such lesser amount necessary to bring the number of shares available for issuance up to five percent (5%) of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on each such December 31 (the “2013 Incentive Plan Evergreen Provision”). Pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan Evergreen Provision, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan was increased by 1,183,075 shares effective January 1, 2019. This Registration Statement registers the additional shares available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan as a result of the 2013 Incentive Plan Evergreen Provision.
