EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 (this “Registration Statement”) registers additional shares of the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the registrant (the “Class A Common Stock”) under the AppFolio, Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The number of shares of the Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan is subject to an automatic annual increase on January 1 of each calendar year, beginning in 2016 and continuing through 2025, which increase is equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock subject to awards granted under the 2015 Plan during the immediately preceding calendar year, or (ii) the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock determined by the registrant’s board of directors (the “Board”). The number of shares of the Class A Common Stock subject to awards granted under the 2015 Plan during 2016 was 1,241,781 (the Board did not recommend a lesser amount). As a result, on January 1, 2017, the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan increased by 1,241,781. This Registration Statement registers these additional shares of the Class A Common Stock.

The following documents, which have been filed by the registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), are hereby incorporated by reference herein, and shall be deemed to be a part of, this Registration Statement:
| |
• | the Annual Report on Form 10-K relating to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Commission on February 27, 2017, pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); |
| |
• | the Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A relating to the registrant’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the Commission on March 31, 2016; and |
| |
• | the description of the Class A Common Stock contained in the Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-37468) filed with the Commission on June 23, 2015, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description. |
In addition, all documents filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 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, which indicates that all securities offered have been sold, or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part of it from the respective dates of filing such documents; except as to any portion of any future annual, quarterly or current report or other document, or any portion thereof, that is deemed furnished and 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 is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. Section 145 of the DGCL further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any indemnified person against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any indemnified capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, regardless of whether the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person under the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:
| |
• | breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders; |
| |
• | act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| |
• | unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or |
| |
• | transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. |
The registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the registrant to, and the registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide that it must, indemnify the registrant’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL and also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under the DGCL or otherwise.
As permitted by the DGCL, the registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements require the registrant to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the registrant, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.
The registrant has an insurance policy covering its directors and executive officers with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act and otherwise.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
A list of exhibits filed with this Registration Statement is set forth in the Exhibit Index hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
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 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; and
(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) 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.
(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 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 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 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in Santa Barbara, California, on February 27, 2017.
