EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

 

Internap Network Services Corporation (“Internap” or “Registrant”) is filing this registration statement on Form S-8 to register 4,000,000   additional shares of Registrant’s common stock authorized for issuance under Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan.

   

On August 31, 2005, Registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (file no. 333-127989) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register 2,000,000 newly authorized shares of Registrant’s common stock (on a post-reverse split basis) for issuance under Registrant’s 2005 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Prior Registration Statement”). On September 14, 2006, Registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (file no. 333-137314) with the Commission to register 4,786,000 additional shares (on a post-reverse split basis) that, prior to the adoption of Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan, remained available for issuance under (a) the Switchsoft Systems, Inc. Founders 1996 Stock Option Plan, (b) the Internap Network Services Corporation 2002 Stock Compensation Plan, (c) the Amended 1999 Equity Incentive Plan, (d) the 1999 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Officers, (e) the Amended and Restated 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, and (f) the Switchsoft Systems, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, including shares with respect to which options or other awards were granted under those plans if such options or other awards had not been exercised as of the effective date of Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan. In accordance with General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statement, including any amendments thereto or filings incorporated therein, are hereby incorporated by reference into this registration statement to the extent not otherwise amended or superseded by the contents thereof.

   

On July 10, 2006, Registrant affected a 1-for-10 reverse split of its common stock for stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 10, 2006. The exercise price, as well as the number of shares that can be issued, pursuant to stock options and other awards granted under Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan, were proportionately adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The number of shares reserved for issuance under Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2005 Incentive Stock Plan were also reduced proportionately. All share amounts in this registration statement are based on the reverse stock split having been given effect.

 

Item 8.

Exhibits

 

See the Exhibit Index, which 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 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 change 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;

(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 periodic reports filed 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.

(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.

 

(b)

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the 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 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.

---

 

(c)

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.
