Our Vision
Our vision is to leverage technology to improve the wellness of the world.
Overview
We are the leading online wellness services marketplace with over 42,000 local business subscribers on our
platform in 124 countries and territories employing over 250,000 practitioners who provide a variety of wellness
services to over 24 million active consumers. Our integrated cloud-based business management software and
payments platform for the wellness services industry helps our subscribers simplify the way they run their
businesses, attract and engage more consumers, boost their revenues and focus more on what they love to do —
improving people's lives. Moreover, we help consumers more easily evaluate, engage and transact with these
subscribers, enabling them to live healthier and happier lives. We are also a leading payments platform dedicated
to the wellness services industry. In the 12 months ended March 31, 2015, $6.3 billion in transactions occurred
between consumers and subscribers within our marketplace, of which $4.3 billion flowed through our payments
platform.
Our platform is specifically designed for the wellness services industry. Wellness encompasses multiple
dimensions of a person's well-being — physical, emotional, social, occupational and spiritual, among others. As a
result, we include health and fitness, integrative health, salon and spa, fine arts and children's activities as
categories within the wellness services industry. According to a report that we commissioned from Frost and
Sullivan, our addressable market is approximately 4.2 million wellness businesses worldwide. Based on their
analysis, Frost and Sullivan estimates a $9.5 billion market for business management software solutions targeted
at wellness businesses in 2015 and expects this market to grow to $15.3 billion in 2018, which implies a 17.1%
compound annual growth rate, or CAGR. With over 42,000 local business subscribers, we estimate our current
market penetration to be less than 1%.
We believe millions of wellness businesses around the world are looking for a simple, efficient and reliable
way to manage their operations. Through our integrated cloud-based business management software and
payments platform, we enable businesses to easily manage class and appointment schedules, staff members,
client information, online bookings, inventory, payroll and retail sales — all in a cost-effective manner. At the
same time, we connect consumers with local businesses through our MINDBODY Connect platform, which
powers a mobile interface that allows consumers to discover, evaluate, book and pay for wellness services,
whether they are near their homes or traveling.
As employers become increasingly focused on wellness programs to improve the health, fitness and
productivity of their employees, our MINDBODY Connect Workplace offering combines the power of our
software platform with the ease of our Connect platform to enable employees to choose from a wide variety of
1
EFTA00594735
on-site and local wellness services. We believe Connect Workplace helps employees live healthier, happier and
more productive lives, while allowing employers to benefit from greater staff productivity, lower attrition and
reduced healthcare costs.
We have enabled a rich partner ecosystem of over 600 developers and partners who extend the value of our
platform in powerful ways. These developers and partners have built applications that supplement our
capabilities in areas such as automation, marketing, mobile and social interaction. Several of these partners have
created significant consumer-facing businesses that rely on our unique inventory of classes, scheduling and
payments capabilities. All of this is enabled by our application programming interface, or API, through which we
grant access to approved developers and partners. We believe that the opportunities and technology provided by
our partners enhance the power of our marketplace and contribute to the attractiveness and critical position of
MINDBODY within the wellness ecosystem.
As more local wellness businesses adopt our business management and payments platform. more subscriber
listings appear on Connect. A larger critical mass of local wellness services on Connect attracts more consumers,
which in turn attracts more local wellness businesses that want to engage with these consumers, thereby creating
powerful network effects that benefit the entire ecosystem. Similarly, as more corporate wellness subscribers
adopt Connect Workplace, their employees begin using our platform, which leads to increased demand from
local wellness businesses to be listed on Connect. As more local wellness businesses appear on Connect, more
employees use our platform to redeem their corporate incentives, which in turn leads to more corporate wellness
subscribers being attracted to our platform. Finally, as we add more subscribers, consumers and employees to our
wellness ecosystem. we attract more technology developers and partners who can use our API to develop
additional apps that extend the capabilities of our open platform.

(I) We define active consumers as all unique consumers of our subscribers' services who have used our platform to transact with our
subscribers during the immediately preceding two years. While we do not directly monetize consumers of our subscribers' services, we
believe that growth in the number of active consumers on our platform also contributes to our subscriber growth.
Our financial performance reflects our significant subscriber growth and increasing revenue per subscriber.
Our total revenue increased from $32.0 million in 2012, to $48.7 million in 2013 to $70.0 million in 2014,
representing year-over-year increases of 52% and 44% in 2013 and 2014, respectively. For the three months
ended March 31, 2014 and 2015. our revenue was $15.7 million and $22.3 million. respectively, representing a

42% growth rate. Our net loss was $5.5 million. $16.2 million and $24.6 million for 2012, 2013 and 2014,
respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, our net loss was $4.8 million and $7.9
million, respectively. Our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.5 million, negative $11.5 million and negative
$18.8 million for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, our
Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.8 million and negative $5.3 million, respectively. For a reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, please see the section titled "Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data—
Non-GAAP Financial Measure."
Industry Background
Increasing Focus on Personal Health and Beauty is Fueling Global Demand for Wellness Services
An increased focus on personal health and beauty represents a major global trend among consumers and is
driving growth in wellness services worldwide. As the desire for longer, healthier lives, attractive appearance and
overall physical and emotional well-being grows, more and more people are adopting a lifestyle that incorporates
a healthier diet, regular physical exercise, integrative health, salon, spa and other wellness services.
While over 2.1 billion people or nearly 30% of the world's population are overweight, consumers are
becoming increasingly aware of the risks accnriated with obesity and the benefits of regular physical exercise and
are therefore seeking to achieve a healthy weight and fitness level. In addition, while decades ago individual
spending on exercise classes and spa and salon services was minimal, we believe consumers across generations
today are increasingly willing to allocate a more significant portion of their disposable income to wellness services.
Moreover, people increasingly consume salon, spa and integrative health services to enhance emotional,
social and physical wellness. We believe that while in developed markets, the aging population is demanding
more salon, spa and integrative health services, in emerging markets, demand is driven by urbanization and the
resulting increase in social interactions.
Growing Demand for Personalized Wellness Experiences has been Driving Industry Fragmentation
We believe consumers are increasingly seeking more personalized and effective wellness experiences and
are opting for smaller businesses that are more conveniently located and cater to individual needs and
preferences. As a result, the number of small wellness businesses has proliferated over the past decade, while all-
inclusive facilities such as large health clubs now comprise only a small percentage of the wellness services
industry's aggregate revenue. Meanwhile, the market share of smaller businesses has been growing rapidly,
which can be seen in the increasing number of businesses that specialize in practices such as yoga. Pilates, barn,
Zumba and CrossFit.
Escalating Healthcare Costs are Driving Employers Worldwide to Develop Corporate Wellness Programs
that Incentivize the Use of Wellness Services
Healthcare costs for employers have been increasing significantly: According to healthcare research
foundation The Commonwealth Fund, from 2003 to 2013, the annual cost of family coverage for U.S. employers
rose 73% to an average of $16,029. A 2010 study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental
Medicine estimated that the cost of obesity among full-time employees reaches $73.1 billion each year. To
reduce rising healthcare expenses and excessive absenteeism as well as to improve their employees' productivity,
more and more organizations are implementing corporate wellness and other incentive programs to encourage
healthy behavior. A 2012 study by RAND Health found that participation in a wellness program is associated
with lower health care costs.
3
EFTA00594737
Despite the wide availability of corporate wellness programs. the actual participation of employees in such
programs remains limited. According to the Business Journal, Gallup reported that although more than 85% of
large employers offer wellness programs, only 24% of employees at these companies actually participate in the
programs. We believe this is due to the fact that employers lack effective tools to incentivize participation in
wellness programs and often fail to satisfy a broad range of employee preferences.
Consumers Need a Single, Mobile Enabled Interface for their Wellness Services Needs
Due to the fragmented nature of the wellness services industry, consumers often find it complicated and
time consuming to find and book wellness services. Consumers increasingly expect to be able to identify,
research and schedule the desired wellness services using their mobile devices in a manner that allows them to
view class schedules, practitioner details and consumer reviews, make bookings conveniently outside business
hours through web or mobile interfaces and pay for these services seamlessly online.
Wellness Businesses Need an Integrated Software and Payments Platform that is Designed to Meet their
Industry-Specific Needs
Wellness businesses have to manage online bookings. staff scheduling and payroll. and resource allocation.
They also need to promote their wellness services, attract new consumers and nurture consumer relationships. In
addition, business owners need to keep track of key business performance indicators and take action to increase
revenue and improve profitability. Many wellness businesses use basic tools like paper forms or Excel
spreadsheets to perform some of these functions, which can be time consuming and distracting. We have
observed that the inability of business owners to focus on their core business often leads to lost revenue and
lower consumer retention. To succeed in the marketplace, wellness businesses need an easy-to-use and integrated
cloud-based software and payments solution that is specifically designed for their needs, is cost effective and can
he accessed anytime from anywhere and on any device.
The MINDBODY Solution
Our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform is specifically designed
to address the unique requirements of the wellness services industry. We help our subscribers simplify their
operations, focus on their consumers and grow their revenue by enabling them to attract and retain consumers.
Integrated Software and Payments Platform Designed Specifically for the Needs of Local Wellness
Businesses

addresses key aspects of operating a wellness business, including:
•
Client Scheduling and Online Booking. We believe we offer subscribers the most complete online client
scheduling capability available on the market today. We are the only platform provider that enables all four
different types of scheduling that wellness businesses typically encounter: appointments, open classes,
enrollments and workshops and resource scheduling.
•
Staff Management. With our staff and resource scheduling software features, staff management is easy and
organized. Subscribers keep the whole schedule in one place, allowing them to manage staff availability,

their consumer information in one place and can take advantage of powerful consumer relationship and
marketing tools.
•
Integrated Software and Payments. We offer our subscribers payment processing solutions at competitive

information, which allows for seamless online bookings, recurring membership payments through our
business management software and online store purchases through Connect.
•
Retail Point of Sale. Our point-of-sale capabilities help subscribers sell products and services, contracts and
memberships, packages, workshops and store-branded gift cards.
•

goals, including revenue growth, contribution margin of classes, consumer retention rates, referral sources,
return on investment for consumer retention campaigns and practitioner performance based on consumer
loyalty and reviews by class or type of service.
•
Simple and Intuitive User Experience. We designed our business management software with a focus on
developing a visually appealing interface that is simple, easy to use and requires little training, while
offering subscribers powerful business management features.
•

number of mobile devices and operating systems, including Mac, iOS, Android and Windows.
•
Dynamic Cloud-Based Architecture. Our software platform is powered by a dynamic cloud-based
architecture that requires low upfront investment and no maintenance and can easily scale with subscribers
as their businesses grow.
•
Security and Compliance. We consistently earn a Level I Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or
PCI DSS, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, compliance rating.
Social Integration. Our platform integrates with popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter,
allowing our subscribers to publish schedules on their Facebook page and enabling consumers to directly
schedule appointments and classes via Facebook.
MINDBODY Connect
A key component of our platform is Connect, our consumer-facing mobile app. With Connect, consumers
have a unified account to manage all aspects of their wellness activities with a single log in. They can discover
local wellness services using a geo-located map function, view class and appointment descriptions, schedules and
real-time availability, read practitioner biographies and user reviews written by consumers who have actually
received the service, and then book and pay for their desired services in a few taps from their mobile device.
MINDBODY Connect Workplace
Our Connect Workplace offering is designed to allow corporate wellness subscribers to encourage healthy
habits for their employees and measure the results. Subscribers to Connect Workplace use our platform to
manage on-site wellness services, incentivize employees to take advantage of the local wellness businesses in our
network and analyze aggregate employee attendance data.
Rich Partner Ecosystem
We have enabled a rich partner ecosystem of over 600 developers and partners who extend the value of our
platform in powerful ways.
•
Open Pla#bnn for Third-Parry App Development. We have built an open and extensible platform with an API
that offers approved developers access to our unique inventory of classes, scheduling and payments capabilities.

Our Market Opportunity
According to IBISWorld, in 2014, the total revenue of gyms, health and fitness clubs in the United States was
expected to reach $26.5 billion, and the U.S. salon market, consisting of haircutting services, hair coloring services,
nail care services, skin care services and other services, was expected to reach $50.2 billion. The global markets for
these services are significantly larger. In addition, the U.S. corporate wellness services market was expected to
reach $7.4 billion in 2014, according to IBISWorld. According to a report that we commissioned from Frost and
Sullivan, our addressable market is approximately 4.2 million wellness businesses worldwide. Based on their
analysis, Frost and Sullivan estimates that the market for business management software solutions targeted at
wellness businesses will grow to $9.5 billion in 2015 and expects this market to grow to $15.3 billion in 2018,
which implies a 17.1% CAGR. In addition, we believe there are a significant number of individual practitioners
worldwide who are not included in the 4.2 million addressable market estimate and can benefit from our business
management software and payments platform. With over 42.000 local business subscribers, we estimate our current
market penetration to be less than 1%. While we expect competition in the industry to increase and evolve over
time, given our current market leadership, we believe that we are well positioned to compete for and capture a
significant portion of global software and payments spending in the wellness services industry.
Our Competitive Strengths
The Leading Online Wellness Services Marketplace. We are the leading online wellness services
marketplace with over 42,000 local business subscribers on ow platform in 124 countries and territories
employing over 250,000 practitioners who provide a variety of wellness services to over 24 million active
consumers. Due to our unmatched global wellness network, Connect has become the go-to destination for
consumers to manage their wellness services activities.
Industry-Specific Expertise. Our team of experts understands the detailed workflows and needs of each type
of business within the wellness services industry, and has designed our integrated cloud-based business
management software and payments platform specifically to address the unique requirements of these businesses.
6
EFTA00594740
Powerful Network Effects. As more local wellness businesses use our platform, more subscriber listings
appear on Connect. A larger critical mass of local wellness services on Connect attracts more consumers, which
in turn attracts more local wellness businesses that want to engage with these consumers, thereby creating
powerful network effects that benefit the entire ecosystem. Similarly, as more corporate wellness subscribers
adopt Connect Workplace, more employees use our platform to redeem their corporate incentives, which in turn
attracts both wellness businesses and corporate wellness subscribers. Finally, as we add more subscribers,
consumers and employees to our wellness ecosystem, we attract more technology developers and partners who
can use our API to develop additional apps that extend the capabilities of our open platform.
Integrated Cloud-Based Business Management Software and Payments Platform. The seamless
integration between our business management software and payments platform provides a convenient one-stop
solution for ow subscribers. Subscribers save time and resources by avoiding the use of a separate payments
platform and the associated burdensome manual reconciliations of transactions that result from a lack of
automation. We believe that this integrated software and payments capability leads to higher subscriber
engagement with our platform and a larger recurring revenue stream for us.
Ability to Scale with Subscribers' Businesses. Our feature-rich software scales from individual practitioners
to large, international organizations that have hundreds of locations. It is possible for an independent mobile
practitioner starting her small business to begin with our entry level software, upgrade to our more robust
offerings as she opens her first brick-and-mortar location, then add locations and ultimately create a substantial
chain on our platform. This type of inspirational story has happened many times.
Critical Position in the Wellness Ecosystem. We have enabled a rich partner ecosystem of over 600
developers and partners who extend the value of our platform in powerful ways. Many of our technology partners
and API platform partners have built successful businesses, or have significantly expanded their existing
businesses, to cater to our subscribers and consumers via our platform. We believe the time, effort and dollars
spent by these businesses to integrate with our platform point to the critical position that MINDBODY has
established in the ecosystem.
Proprietary Data and Analytics. Our software and payments platform collects and presents critical
information that enables subscribers to fine tune their business operations and enables us to observe macro level
wellness services industry trends that inform our business decisions. With our software, subscribers can
analyze their consumer data, including demographics, type and frequency of activities and spending habits. In
addition, we help subscribers assess the performance of their staff. We also collect and display consumer reviews
to both subscribers and consumers. This enables consumers to make more informed buying decisions and helps
ow subscribers improve their businesses. Due to ow market leadership position, we have access to more
proprietary data than our competitors, which helps us improve our platform and allows us to provide unique
insights and analytical capabilities.
Exceptional Company Culture that Drives Performance. The MINDBODY team shares an exceptional
company culture that incorporates our core values of being purpose driven, humble and helpful, caring and
happy, committed to wellness, environmentally conscious, continuously evolving and committed to leadership.
According to a report from Mashable based on data from Glassdoor in December 2014, MINDBODY has been
named one of the "Top 10 Best Tech Companies To Work For in 2015." We believe ow culture gives us a
competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining talent, driving innovation, enhancing productivity and
improving customer experience.

EFTA00594741
Our Growth Strategy
Given the increasing demand for wellness services among consumers today and a largely untapped market,
we believe our opportunity is significant and growing. Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Continuing to expand our subscriber base, both domestically and internationally;
•
Deepening relationships with existing subscribers;
•
Growing consumer adoption of Connect;
•
Continuing to innovate and broaden our platform;
Further developing our partnerships and wellness ecosystem:
Increasing our presence in corporate wellness;
Making strategic investments and select acquisitions; and

Risks Associated with Our Business
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled
"Risk Factors" immediately following this prospectus summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the
following:
•
We have a history of losses, and our revenue growth rate may not sustain the levels experienced in
recent years. As our costs increase, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and
sustain profitability.
•
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a majority of our revenue and cash flows from our
integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services
industry. If we fail to adapt this platform to changing market dynamics and subscriber preferences or to
achieve increased market acceptance of our platform, our business, results of operations. financial
condition and growth prospects would be adversely affected.
•
Our business depends substantially on our subscribers renewing their subscriptions to our platform.
Any decline in the rate at which subscribers renew their subscriptions would harm our future operating
results.
•
If we are not able to enhance our platform to achieve market acceptance and keep pace with
technological developments, our business would be harmed.
•
Our payments platform is a core element of ow business, and any failure to grow and develop our
payment processing activities, or to anticipate changes in consumer behavior, could materially and
adversely affect our business and financial results.
•
Our payment processing platform is subject to United States and international rules and regulations,

Emerging Growth Company
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act, was enacted in April 2012 with the intention of
encouraging capital formation in the United States and reducing the regulatory burden on newly public
companies that qualify as "emerging growth companies." We are an emerging growth company within the
meaning of the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from
various public reporting requirements, including the requirement that our internal control over financial reporting
be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, certain requirements related to the disclosure of executive compensation
in this prospectus and in our periodic reports and proxy statements and the requirement that we hold a
nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments. We may take
advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year
in which we have more than $1.0 billion in annual revenue; (ii) the date we qualify as a "large accelerated filer,"
with at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (iii) the date on which we have issued, in
any three-year period, more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal
year ending after the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering.
See the section titled "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock and this
Offering—We are an `emerging growth company' and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure
requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors"
for certain risks related to our status as an emerging growth company.

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of
shares of our Class A common stock in this offering will
be approximately $89.3 million (or approximately

allotment option in full), based upon the assumed initial
public offering price of $14.00 per share, which is the
midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth
on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The principal purposes of this offering are to increase
our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a
public market for our Class A common stock and enable
access to the public equity markets for us and our
stockholders. We intend to use the net proceeds from
this offering for general corporate purposes, including
working capital, operating expenses and capital
expenditures. Additionally, we may use a portion of the
net proceeds to acquire businesses, products, services or
technologies. However, we do not have agreements or
commitments for any material acquisitions at this time.
See the section titled "Use of Proceeds" for additional
information.
Following this offering, we will have two classes of
authorized common stock, Class A common stock and
Class B common stock. The holders of our Class A
common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the
holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to 10

stock will hold approximately 97.8% of the voting
power of our outstanding capital stock following this
offering and will have the ability to control the
outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for
approval, including the election of our directors and
the approval of any change in control transaction. See
the sections titled "Principal Stockholders" and

Directed share program
At ow request, the underwriters have reserved up to
5% of the Class A common stock being offered by

affiliated with UBS Securities LLC, an underwriter

number of shares available to the general public. Any
reserved shares not so purchased will be offered by
the underwriters to the general public on the same
terms as the other shares of Class A common stock.
Proposed NASDAQ trading symbol
Certain entities associated with In Morgan Investment Management Inc., one of our existing holders of
greater than 5% of our common stock, have indicated an interest in purchasing up to $10.0 million of our Class A
common stock in this offering, at the initial public offering price. Because these indications of interest are not
binding agreements or commitments to purchase, such entities may elect to purchase fewer shares than they
indicate an interest in purchasing or not to purchase any shares in this offering. In addition, the underwriters may
elect to sell fewer shares or not to sell any shares in this offering to such entities. The underwriters will receive
the same discount from any shares sold to such entities as they will from any other shares sold to the public in
this offering. Any shares purchased by such entities will be subject to lock-up restrictions described in the section
entitled "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

(2) Average monthly revenue per subscriber is calculated by dividing the subscription. services and payments
revenue generated in a given month by the number of subscribers at the end of the previous month. For periods
greater than one month, the average monthly revenue per subscriber is the sum of the average monthly revenue
per subscriber for each month in the period, divided by the number of months in the period.
(3) Payments volume is the total dollar volume of transactions between our subscribers and their consumers
utilizing our payments platform.
(4) Our dollar-based net expansion rate is based upon our monthly subscription, services and payments revenue
for a set of subscriber accounts. We calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate by dividing our retained
revenue net of contraction and chum by our base revenue. We define our base revenue as the aggregate
monthly subscription, services and payments revenue of our subscriber base as of the date one year prior to
the date of calculation. We define our retained revenue net of contraction and chum as the aggregate
monthly subscription, services and payments revenue of the same subscriber base included in our measure
of base revenue at the end of the annual period being measured.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-
GAAP financial measure defined by us as our net loss before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation
and amortization. change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of preferred stock
warrant, impairment charges, provision for income taxes, and other income (expense), net, which consisted of
interest income and expense, and other miscellaneous other income (expense). We have provided below a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We have
15
EFTA00594749
presented Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus because it is a key measure used by our management and board
of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our
annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion
of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period
comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information
to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our
management and board of directors.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in
isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations
are as follows:
•
Although depreciation and amortization expense are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and
amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital
expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
(2) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; or (3) tax payments that may represent
a reduction in cash available to us: and
•
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly
titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other GAAP-
based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and our GAAP financial
results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for each of the periods
indicated:

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the
following risks, together with all of the other information contained in this prospectus, including our financial
statements and related notes, before making a decision to invest in our Class A common stock. Any of the
following risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition
and could cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline, which would cause you to lose all or
pan of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of losses, and our revenue growth rate may not sustain the levels experienced in recent
years. As our costs increase, we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain
profitability.
We have incurred a net loss in each year since our inception, including a net loss of $16.2 million and $24.6
million in the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and $4.8 million and $7.9 million in the
three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and the three
months ended March 31, 2015, our Adjusted EBITDA was negative $18.8 million and negative $5.3 million,
respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, our revenue was $48.7 million and $70.0 million,
respectively, representing a 44% growth rate. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, our revenue
was $15.7 million and $22.3 million, respectively, representing a 42% growth rate. In future years, our revenue
growth rate may not sustain the levels reflected by our past performance. We may not be able to generate
sufficient revenue to achieve and sustain profitability as we also expect ow costs to increase in future periods.
We expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on:
developing our platform. including investments in our research and development team, the
development or acquisition of new products. features and functionality, and improvements to the
scalability, availability and security of ow platform;
•
expenses related to international expansion in an effort to increase our subscriber base;
•
improving our technology infrastructure and hiring additional employees for our sales, operations and
customer support teams;
•
strategic acquisitions;
•
sales and marketing expenses, including a significant expansion of our direct sales organization; and
•
general and administrative expenses, including legal, accounting and other expenses related to being a
public company.
These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth of our business. If we fail to continue to
grow our revenue, our operating results and business will be harmed.
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a majority of our revenue and cash flows from our integrated
cloud-based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry. If we
fail to adapt this platform to changing market dynamics and subscriber preferences or to achieve increased
market acceptance of our platform, our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth
prospects would be adversely affected.
We derive, and expect to continue to derive, a majority of our revenue and cash flows from our integrated
cloud•based business management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry. As such,
market acceptance of this platform is critical to our success. Demand for ow platform is affected by a number of
factors, many of which are beyond our control, such as the timing of development and release of new products,
17
EFTA00594751
features and functionality by our competitors, technological change and growth or contraction in our addressable
market. If we are unable to meet the demands of our subscribers for products and services that meet their
business needs and are easy to use and deploy, our ability to achieve widespread market acceptance of our
platform will be undermined, and our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects
will be adversely affected.
Our business depends substantially on our subscribers renewing their subscriptions to our platform. Any
decline in the rate at which subscribers renew their subscriptions would harm our future operating results.
The vast majority of our subscription revenue is derived from subscriptions to our platform that have
monthly terms. For us to maintain or improve ow operating results, it is important that our subscribers renew
their subscriptions each month. In the past few years, we have expanded ow platform beyond our core cloud-
based business management software with the introduction of Connect and Connect Workplace, and in January
2015, we introduced a new tiered pricing model for our subscriptions. While significant planning has gone into
the expansion of our platform and the revisions to our pricing model, these changes may adversely impact our
ability to accurately predict the rate at which subscribers will renew their subscriptions, which may decline or
fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including our subscribers' satisfaction with our platform, our
customer support, our prices, the prices of competing software systems, system uptime, network performance,
data breaches, mergers and acquisitions affecting our subscriber base, the effects of global economic conditions
and reductions in our subscribers' spending levels. If ow subscribers do not renew their subscriptions or shift to
less expensive software subscriptions, our revenue may decline and we may not realize improved operating
results from our subscriber base.
If we are not able to enhance our platform to achieve market acceptance and keep pace with technological
developments, our business would be harmed.
Our ability to attract new subscribers and increase revenue from existing subscribers depends in large part
on our ability to enhance and improve our existing platform and to introduce new products and services,
including products and services designed for a mobile user environment. To grow our business, we must develop
products and services that reflect the changing nature of business management software and expand beyond our
core scheduling and point-of-sale functionality to other areas of managing relationships with our subscribers, as
well as their relationships with consumers. For example, in 2013, we expanded our platform to include Connect,
and in 2015, we introduced Connect Workplace and began providing automated marketing functionality with our
higher-priced subscriptions. The success of these and any other enhancements to our platform depends on several
factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing and sufficient demand. Any new product or service
that we develop may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain defects or may not
achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate sufficient revenue. If we are unable to successfully develop
new products or services, enhance ow existing platform to meet subscriber requirements or otherwise gain
market acceptance, our business and operating results will be harmed.
In addition, because our platform is available over the Internet, we need to continuously modify and enhance
our platform to keep pace with changes in Internet-related hardware, software, communications and database
technologies and standards. If we are unable to respond in a timely and cost-effective manner to these rapid
technological developments and changes in standards, our platform may become less marketable, less competitive,
or obsolete, and our operating results will be harmed. If new technologies emerge that are able to deliver
competitive products and applications at lower prices, more efficiently, more conveniently or more securely, such
technologies could adversely impact our ability to compete. Our platform must also integrate with a variety of
network, hardware, mobile, and software platforms and technologies, and we need to continuously modify and
enhance our products and services to adapt to changes and innovation in these technologies. Any failure of ow
platform to operate effectively with future infrastructure platforms and technologies could reduce the demand for
our platform. If we are unable to respond to these changes in a cost-effective manner, ow platform may become less
marketable, less competitive or obsolete, and our operating results may be adversely affected.

Our payments platform is a core element of our business, and any failure to grow and develop our payment
processing activities, or to anticipate changes in consumer behavior, could materially and adversely affect our
business and financial results.
Our payments platform is a core element of ow business. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014.
our payments platform generated 35% and 37% of ow total revenue, respectively. For the three months ended
March 31, 2014 and 2015. our payments platform generated 38% and 36% of our total revenue, respectively. Ow
future success depends in large part on the continued growth and development of our payment processing
activities. If such activities are limited, restricted, curtailed or degraded in any way, or if we fail to continue to
grow and develop such activities, our business may be materially and adversely affected.
The continued growth and development of our payment processing activities will depend on our ability to
anticipate and adapt to changes in consumer behavior. For example, consumer behavior may change regarding
the use of credit card transactions, including the relative increased use of cash, crypto•currencies, other emerging
or alternative payment methods and credit card systems that we or our processing partners do not adequately
support or that do not provide adequate commissions to Independent Sales Organizations such as us. Any failure
to timely integrate emerging payment methods (e.g. ApplePay or Bitco ) into our software, anticipate consumer
behavior changes, or contract with processing partners that support such emerging payment technologies could
cause us to lose traction among our subscribers, resulting in a corresponding loss of revenue, in the event such
methods become popular among their consumers.
Our payment processing platform is subject to United States and international rules and regulation; many of
which are still developing. If we fail to comply with such rules and regulations or if new laws, rules or
practices applicable to payment systems restrict our ability to collect fees from our payment processing
platform, our financial results could be materially and adversely effected.
Payments processing is subject to extensive regulation in the United States and other countries where we
operate. and presents a wide range of risks. We may encounter increased regulatory scrutiny and new regulatory
compliance requirements brought about by evolving laws. rules and regulations. Our payment processing
activities are subject to price controls within the United States and other countries, and may be subject to an
increase of price controls, including controls limiting the amount we are allowed to charge subscribers for
processing credit card and debit card transactions. Certain countries limit the ability of foreign payment
companies like us to conduct processing activities, and restrict the transfer of funds out of such countries.
Changes in the laws, rules or practices applicable to payment systems such as VISA, MasterCard or American
Express, including changes resulting in increased costs that we or our subscribers must pay, may force changes to
our payments platform that could adversely affect our business.
If we incur an actual or perceived breach to our payment processing platform, we may incur significant
liabilities and our brand and reputation may be damaged.
We may suffer an attack on our payments platform that results in a breach of consumer cardholder data. We
maintain payment information for tens of millions of consumers on our payments platform, and we are a
potential target for hackers and other parties attempting to steal credit card data via cyber-attacks or other means.
As we increase our consumer base and our brand becomes more widely known and recognized, we may become
more of a target for these malicious third parties. If we experience any actual or perceived data breach as a result
of third-party actions, employee negligence or error, or malfeasance, whether or not resulting in the unauthorized
acquisition of or access to cardholder data, we could incur significant liability, our business may suffer and our
brand and reputation may be damaged. We could be required to pay extensive fines and costs related to any such
data breach, including costs incurred to replace credit cards and cardholder information and provide security
monitoring services, and we could lose future sales and subscribers, any of which could harm our business and
operating results. Such fines and costs could become due in one or two business days following such breach and
exceed the amount of cash available to us, thereby impacting our ability to operate our business. In addition, a
data breach or failure to comply with rules or regulations of payment systems could also result in the termination
19
EFTA00594753
of our status as a registered Independent Sales Organization / Merchant Service Provider. thereby dramatically
impairing our ability to continue doing business in the payments industry.
We are subject to risks related to our reliance on third-party processing partners to perform our payment
processing services.
We depend on our third-party processing partners to perform payment processing services, which generate
almost all of our payments revenue. Our processing partners may go out of business or otherwise be unable or
unwilling to continue providing such services, which could significantly and materially reduce our payments
revenue and disrupt ow business. A number of our processing contracts require us to assume liability for any
losses our processing partners may suffer as a result of losses caused by our subscribers, including losses caused
by chargebacks and subscriber fraud. Thus, in the event of a significant loss by our processing partners, we may
be required to pay-out a large amount of cash in one or two business days following such event and, if we do not
have sufficient cash on hand, may be deemed in breach of such contracts. A contractual dispute with our
processing partners could adversely impact our revenue. Certain contracts may expire or be terminated, and we
may not be able to replicate the associated revenue through a new processing partner relationship for a
considerable period of time. In addition, the failure of any third-party processing partner to provide accurate and
timely reporting could adversely impact our ability to report accurate and timely revenue in accordance with
GAAP.
We expect to initiate new third-party payment relationships or migrate to other third-party payment partners
in the future. The initiation of these relationships and the transition from one relationship to another would
require significant time and resources. New third-party payment processing relationships may not be as effective,
efficient or well received by subscribers and their consumers, nor is there any assurance that we will be able to
reach an agreement with such processing partners. Our contracts with such processing partners may be less
lucrative. For instance, we may be required to pay more for payment processing or receive a less favorable
revenue arrangement from our payment processing partners. We may also experience the termination of revenue
streams due to such migrations.
We may undertake to directly perform certain payment processing services and expand the scope of payment
processing services we provide, which may require a significant investment of time and resources, and expand
our exposure to potential liabilities.
In the future, we may undertake to directly perform certain payment processing services that we currently
depend upon our processing partners to perform, expand the scope of payment processing services we provide,
offer additional payment processing services or otherwise undertake additional responsibilities and liabilities
related to such payment processing services. For example, in the future, we may undertake to act as a registered
payment facilitator or payment service provider of the payment systems, providing merchants with a suite of
services, including payment processing and funding and accepting payments as the merchant of record on behalf
of other merchants. Any of these endeavors would require a significant investment of time and effective
management of resources before presenting any potential upside for us, and may dramatically expand the scope
of our potential contractual liability or exposure in the event of a lawsuit. Further, we may fail to effectively
execute in performing such an expansion of services.
If our network or computer systems are breached or unauthorized access to subscriber or consumer data is
otherwise obtained, our platform may be perceived as insecure, we may lose existing subscribers or fail to
attract new subscribers, and we may incur significant liabilities.
Use of our platform involves the storage, transmission and processing of ow subscribers' proprietary data,
including personal or identifying information regarding their consumers or employees. Unauthorized access to or
security breaches of our platform could result in the loss of data, loss of intellectual property or trade secrets, loss
20
EFTA00594754
of business, reputational damage, regulatory investigations and orders, litigation, indemnity obligations, damages
for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws, regulations, or contractual obligations, and
significant costs, fees and other monetary payments for remediation. For example, if our platform is breached in
a way that constitutes a violation of HIPAA, we could face costs for remediation, criminal penalties. and/or
monetary penalties up to $1.5 million per year for violations of an identical provision of the law.
If any unauthorized access to our systems or data or any other security breach occurs, or is believed to have
occurred, our reputation and brand could be damaged, we could be required to expend significant capital and
other resources to alleviate problems caused by such actual or perceived breaches and remediate our systems, we
could be exposed to a risk of loss, litigation or regulatory action and possible liability, and our ability to operate
our business may be impaired. If subscribers believe that our platform does not provide adequate security for the
storage of personal or other sensitive information or its transmission over the Internet, our business will be
harmed. Subscribers' concerns about security or privacy may deter them from using our platform for activities
that involve personal or other sensitive information. Additionally, actual, potential or anticipated attacks may
cause us to incur increasing costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies,
train employees and engage third•party experts and consultants. Our errors and omissions insurance policies
covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses may not be sufficient to compensate for all
potential liability. Although we maintain cyber liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be
adequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically
reasonable terms, or at all.
Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and
generally are not identified until they are launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these
techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We may also experience security breaches that may
remain undetected for extended periods of time.
Because data security is a critical competitive factor in our industry, we make statements in our privacy
policies and terms of service, through our certifications to privacy standards, and in our marketing materials,
describing the security of our platform, including descriptions of certain security measures we employ. Should
any of these statements be untrue, become untrue, or be perceived to be untrue, even if through circumstances
beyond our reasonable control, we may face claims, including claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices,
brought by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, state, local or foreign regulators and private litigants.
Because our platform can be used to collect and store personal information, domestic and international
privacy and data security concerns could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our
platform.
Personal privacy and data security are significant issues in the United States, Europe and many other
jurisdictions where we offer our platform. The regulatory framework for privacy and security issues worldwide is
rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. The U.S. federal and various state
and foreign governments have adopted or proposed limitations on. or requirements regarding. the collection,
distribution, use, security and storage of personally identifiable information and other data relating to individuals,
and the Federal Trade Commission and numerous state attorneys general are applying federal and state consumer
protection laws to enforce regulations related to the online collection, use and dissemination of personally
identifiable information and other data. Some of these requirements include obligations on companies to notify
individuals of security breaches involving particular personal information, which could result from breaches
experienced by us or our service providers. Even though we may have contractual protections with our service
providers, notifications related to a security breach could impact our reputation, harm customer confidence, hurt
our sales and expansion into new markets or cause us to lose existing customers.
Further, many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the European Union and Canada. have
laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personally identifiable information obtained from their
residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdiction. These laws and regulations often are more
21
EFTA00594755
restrictive than those in the United States. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the
collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an
individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, Internet Protocol, or IP, addresses. We
certify adherence to the U.S. Department of Commerce's Safe Harbor Privacy Principles and comply with the
U.S.-EU and U.S.-Swiss Safe Harbor Frameworks. However, it is not clear whether or for how long applicable
data protection authorities in the European Union will continue to recognize such certification as a valid method
of compliance with restrictions set forth in EU data protection legislation restricting the transfer of data outside
of the European Economic Area. Such uncertainty has increased as a result of a vote by the EU Parliament to
suspend the Safe Harbor.
We also expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards
concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States, the European Union and other
jurisdictions, and we cannot yet determine the impact such future laws, regulations and standards may have on
our business. Future laws, regulations, standards and other obligations, and changes in the interpretation of
existing laws, regulations, standards and other obligations could impair our or our subscribers' ability to collect,
use or disclose information relating to consumers, which could decrease demand for our platform, increase our
costs and impair our ability to maintain and grow our subscriber base and increase our revenue. New laws,
amendments to or re-interpretations of existing laws and regulations. industry standards, contractual obligations
and other obligations may require us to incur additional costs and restrict our business operations. In view of new
or modified federal, state or foreign laws and regulations. industry standards, contractual obligations and other
legal obligations, or any changes in their interpretation, we may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally
change our business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to modify our software or platform
and othenvise adapt to these changes. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or
foreign laws or regulations, industry standards or other legal obligations, or any actual or suspected security
incident, whether or not resulting in unauthorized access to, or acquisition, release or transfer of personally
identifiable information or other data, may result in governmental enforcement actions and prosecutions, private
litigation, fines and penalties or adverse publicity and could cause our subscribers to lose trust in us, which could
have an adverse effect on our reputation and business. We may be unable to make such changes and
modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all, and our ability to develop new products and
features could be limited. Any of these developments could harm our business, financial condition and results of
operations. Furthermore, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, regulations, and
policies that are applicable to the businesses of our subscribers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the
overall demand for, our platform. Privacy and data security concerns, whether valid or not valid, may inhibit
market adoption of our platform. particularly in certain industries and foreign countries.
We are subject to a number of legal requirements, industry standards and contractual obligations regarding
security, data protection, and privacy and any failure to comply with these requirements, obligations or
standards could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.
As a service provider to our subscribers, we must comply with a number of data protection, security, privacy
and other government- and industry-specific requirements, including those that require companies to notify
individuals of data security incidents involving certain types of personal data. For example, our solutions must
conform, in certain circumstances, to requirements set forth in HIPAA, as amended by the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, which
collectively govern the privacy and security of protected health information. Through the provision of online
scheduling services to certain of our clients, we may collect, access, use, maintain and transmit protected health
information in ways that may be subject to certain of these laws and regulations. Any inability to adequately
address privacy and security concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies,
industry standards, contractual obligations or other legal obligations could result in additional cost and liability to
us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.
HIPAA applies to covered entities (e.g.. health plans, health care clearinghouses and most health care
providers) and to "business associates" of covered entities, which include individuals and entities that provide
22
EFTA00594756
services for or on behalf of covered entities pursuant to which the service providers may access protected health
information, as well as subcontractors of business associates who may access such information. We are a
subcontractor to certain business associates of covered entities. Under the current HIPAA regulations
promulgated by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, if we experience a breach of
patient information, the liability rules for business associates and business associates' subcontractors could result
in substantial financial and reputational harm to our business.
The Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information, or Privacy Rule, and the Security
Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information, or Security Rule, which jointly govern
the privacy and security of protected health information, could significantly affect our business. The Privacy
Rule and the Security Rule require the development and implementation of policies, procedures and contracts to
assure compliance. We have implemented certain compliance measures, but we may be required to make
additional modifications or to document and implement additional policies and procedures to comply with
evolving HIPAA rules and our subscribers' business associate agreements with us. We may also be required to
perform periodic audits and refinements as required by HIPAA and our subscribers' business associate
agreements with us.
Additionally, because we process a significant portion of our payments through debit or credit cards and
enable our subscribers to engage in payments through our service, we are contractually required to maintain
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS, compliance as part of our information security
program. We also may find it necessary or desirable to join industry or other self-regulatory bodies or other
privacy or data protection-related organizations that require compliance with their rules pertaining to privacy and
data protection. We also may be bound by additional, more stringent contractual obligations relating to our
collection, use and disclosure of personal, financial and other data. If we cannot comply with or if we incur a
violation of any of these regulations or requirements, we could incur significant liability through fines and
penalties imposed by credit card associations or other organizations, breach of contracts with our payment
processors, or our growth could be adversely impacted, either of which could have an adverse effect on our
reputation, business, financial condition and operating results.
The market for business management software is intensely competitive, and if we do not compete effectively,
our operating results could be harmed.
The market for business management software for the wellness services industry is fragmented and rapidly
evolving, with relatively low barriers to entry. We face competition from in-house software systems, smaller
companies offering alternative SaaS applications and traditional paper-based methods. Our competitors vary in
size and in the breadth and scope of the products and services they offer. In addition, there are a number of
companies that are not currently direct competitors but that could in the future shift their focus to the wellness
services industry and offer competing products and services. Some of these companies, such as Intuit and Square,
have or may in the future acquire greater financial and other resources than we do and could bundle competing
products and services with their other offerings or offer such products and services at lower prices as part of a
larger sale. There is also a risk that certain of our current business partners could terminate their relationships
with us and use the insights they have gained from partnering with us to introduce their own competing products.
Many of our current and potential competitors have greater name recognition, established marketing
relationships. access to larger customer bases and pre-existing relationships with customers, consultants, system
integrators and resellers. Additionally. some potential subscribers in the wellness services industry, particularly
large organizations, have elected, and may in the future elect, to develop their own business management
software. Certain of our competitors have partnered with, or have acquired, and may in the future partner with or
acquire, other competitors to offer services, leveraging their collective competitive positions. which makes, or
would make, it more difficult to compete with them.
Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly and effectively than we can to new or changing
opportunities, technologies, standards or customer requirements. With the introduction of new technologies, the
evolution of our platform and new market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future. Pricing
23
EFTA00594757
pressures and increased competition generally could result in reduced sales, reduced margins, increased chum,
reduced subscriber retention, further losses or the failure of ow platform to achieve or maintain more widespread
market acceptance, any of which could harm our business. For all of these reasons, we may fail to compete
successfully against our current and future competitors, and if such failure occurs, our business will be harmed.
Interruptions or performance problems associated with our technology and infrastructure may adversely
affect our business and operating results.
Our continued growth depends in part on the ability of our existing and potential subscribers to access our
platform at any time and within an acceptable amount of time. Our platform is proprietary, and we rely on the
expertise of members of our engineering, operations and software development teams for its continued
performance. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, outages and other
performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, introductions of new
functionality, human or software errors, capacity constraints due to an overwhelming number of users accessing
our platform simultaneously, denial of service attacks, or other security related incidents. For example, in 2011,
we were subject to a denial-of-service attack that rendered our core software inaccessible for several hours. In
addition, from time to time we experience limited periods of server downtime due to server failure or other
technical difficulties. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance
problems within an acceptable period of time. It may become increasingly difficult to maintain and improve our
performance, especially during peak usage times and as our platform becomes more complex and our user traffic
increases. If our platform is unavailable or if our users are unable to access our platform within a reasonable
amount of time, or at all, our business would be adversely affected and our brand could be harmed. In the event
of any of the factors described above, or certain other failures of our infrastructure, subscriber or consumer data
may be permanently lost. Moreover, ow online subscription agreement includes a limited warranty that enables
subscribers to be eligible for credits if cumulative service levels over a certain period of time drop below 99.9%.
If we experience significant periods of service downtime in the future, we may be subject to claims by our
subscribers against these warranties. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints,
upgrade our systems as needed, and continually develop our technology and network architecture to
accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be adversely
affected.
Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our platform could adversely affect our operating results and
growth prospects.
Because our platform is complex. undetected errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs may occur, especially
when updates are deployed. Our platform is often used in connection with computing environments with
different operating systems, system management software, equipment and networking configurations, which may
cause errors in or failures of our platform or other aspects of the computing environments. In addition,
deployment of our platform into complicated, large-scale computing environments may expose undetected errors,
failures, vulnerabilities or bugs in our platform. Despite testing by us, errors, failures, vulnerabilities or bugs may
not be found in our platform until after it is deployed to our subscribers or their consumers. We have discovered,
and expect to discover in the future, software errors, failures, vulnerabilities and bugs in our platform, and we
anticipate that certain of these errors, failures, vulnerabilities and bugs will only be discovered and remediated
after deployment to subscribers. Real or perceived errors, failures or bugs in our platform could result in negative
publicity, loss of or delay in market acceptance of our platform, loss of competitive position or claims by
subscribers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, we may be required, or may choose for subscriber
relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct the problem.
We have limited experience with our expanded platform and revised pricing model, which makes it difficult to
evaluate our prospects and future operating results.
Although we commenced our business in 2001 and began offering our integrated cloud-based business
management software on a subscription basis in 2005, many of the products offered as part of our platform have
24
EFTA00594758
been recently introduced. For example, in 2013, we released Connect, and in 2015, we introduced Connect
Workplace and began offering automated marketing functionality with our higher-priced subscriptions. In
addition, in January 2015, after careful deliberation, we introduced a new tiered pricing structure for new
subscribers. Given the recent introduction of Connect Workplace and our new tiered pricing structure for new
subscribers, their contribution to our total revenue has not been meaningful to our financial results to date. As we
have a limited operating history with our expanded platform and updated pricing structure, our ability to forecast
our future operating results and effectively assess our future prospects is subject to a number of uncertainties,
including our ability to plan for and model future growth. Our historical revenue growth should not be considered
indicative of our future performance. Further, in future periods, our revenue could decline for a number of
reasons, including any further changes in our pricing structure, any reduction in demand for our platform,
including our payments platform, decrease in payments processing volume, increase in competition, contraction
of our overall market, or our failure, for any reason, to capitalize on growth opportunities. We have encountered
and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly
changing industries, such as the risks and uncertainties described herein. If our assumptions regarding these risks
and uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change, or if we do not address these risks
successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from our expectations, and our business
could suffer.
Failure to effectively expand our sales capabilities could harm our ability to increase our subscriber base and
achieve broader market acceptance of our platform.
Increasing our subscriber base and achieving broader market acceptance of our platform will depend, to a
significant extent, on our ability to effectively expand our sales and marketing operations and activities,
including internationally. We are substantially dependent on our online marketing efforts and on our direct sales
force to obtain new subscribers. From December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2015, our sales and marketing
organizations increased from 318 to 376 employees. We plan to continue to expand our direct sales force, both
domestically and internationally, and to increase the number of our sales professionals who have experience in
selling to larger organizations. We believe that there is significant competition for experienced sales
professionals with the sales skills and technical knowledge that we require, and this competition is particularly
acute for us given that our headquarters is located in San Luis Obispo, a small city with fewer resources than the
San Francisco Bay Area, where many companies competing for talent are based. Ow ability to achieve
significant revenue growth in the future will depend, in part, on our success in recruiting, training and retaining a
sufficient number of experienced sales professionals. New hires require significant training and time before they
achieve full productivity, particularly in new sales segments and territories. Our recent and planned hires may not
become productive as quickly as we expect, and we may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of
qualified individuals in the future in the markets where we do business. Because we do not have a long history of
expanding our sales force, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, our sales will increase as we expand our
sales force or how long it will take for sales personnel to become productive. In addition, in January 2015, we
introduced a new tiered pricing model for new subscribers. While we believe these changes are reasonable, there
is a risk that these changes may impact the ability of our sales professionals to sell subscriptions to our platform.
If our sales expansion efforts do not generate a significant increase in revenue, or if ow sales team is unable to
increase sales based on our new pricing model, our business and future growth prospects could be harmed.
Even if the market for our platform grows as expected, our ability to achieve long-term revenue growth will
primarily depend on our ability to sell subscriptions to a large number of new small and medium-sized
businesses on a consistent basis and in a cost-effective manner, with each sale constituting only a small
portion of our overall revenue.
The market for our platform is highly fragmented. As a result, even if this market grows as expected, our
ability to achieve long-term revenue growth will largely depend on our sales team's ability to sell subscriptions
to a large number of new small and medium-sized businesses on a consistent basis, with each sale constituting
only a small portion of our overall revenue. To achieve this type of subscriber growth in a cost-effective manner,
it is crucial that our platform is easy to use and implement without the need for excessive post-sale customer
25
EFTA00594759
support. If we are unable to sell a large volume of subscriptions on a consistent basis, or if we are forced to incur
excessive costs to provide post-sale customer support, our business, results of operations, financial condition and
growth prospects will be adversely affected.
Any failure to offer high-quality customer support may adversely affect our relationships with our subscribers
and our financial results.
In deploying and using our platform, our subscribers depend on our 24/7 customer support team to resolve
complex technical and operational issues, including ensuring that our platform is implemented in a manner that
integrates with a variety of third-party platforms, including Apple Pay and QuickBooks. We may be unable to
respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in subscriber demand for customer support. We
also may be unable to modify the nature, scope and delivery of our customer support to compete with changes in
customer support services provided by our competitors. Increased subscriber demand for customer support,
without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and adversely affect our operating results. Our sales are
highly dependent on our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing subscribers.
Any failure to maintain high-quality customer support, or a market perception that we do not maintain high-
quality customer support, could adversely affect our reputation and brand, our ability to sell our platform to
existing and prospective subscribers, our business, operating results and financial position.
Our quarterly results may fluctuate for various reasons, and if we fail to meet the expectations of analysts or
investors, our stock price and the value of your investment could decline substantially.
Our quarterly financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside of
our control. If our quarterly financial results fall below the expectations of investors or any securities analysts
who follow ow stock, the price of our Class A common stock could decline substantially. Some of the important
factors that may cause our revenue, operating results and cash flows to fluctuate from quarter to quarter include:
•
our ability to attract new subscribers, retain and increase sales to existing subscribers and satisfy our
subscribers' requirements;
•
the volume of transactions processed on our payments platform;
•
the number of new employees added:
•
the rate of expansion and productivity of our sales force;
•
the entrance of new competitors in our market, whether by established companies or new companies;
•
changes in our or our competitors' pricing policies;
•
the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures related to the expansion of our
business, including our sales force;
•
new products. features or functionalities introduced by our competitors;
•
significant security breaches, technical difficulties or interruptions to our platform;
•
the timing of payments by subscribers and other payment processing partners and payment defaults by
subscribers or other payment processing partners;
•
general economic conditions that may adversely affect either our subscribers' ability or willingness to
purchase additional subscriptions, delay a prospective subscriber's purchasing decision, reduce the
value of new subscription contracts or affect subscriber retention;
•
changes in the relative and absolute levels of customer support we provide;
•
changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
•
extraordinary expenses such as litigation or other dispute-related settlement payments;
•
the impact of new accounting pronouncements; and
•
the timing of the grant or vesting of equity awards to employees.
26
EFTA00594760
Many of these factors are outside of our control, and the occurrence of one or more of them might cause our
revenue, operating results and cash flows to vary widely. As such, we believe that quarter•to•quarter comparisons
of ow revenue, operating results and cash flows may not be meaningful and should not be relied upon as an
indication of future performance.
We have experienced rapid growth in recent periods. If we fail to manage our growth effectively, we may be
unable to execute our business plan, maintain high levels of service or adequately address competitive
challenges.
We have recently experienced a period of rapid growth in our operations and employee headcount. In
particular, we grew from 806 employees as of December 31, 2013 to 1,100 employees as of March 31, 2015, and
have also significantly increased the size of our subscriber base. You should not consider our recent growth in
revenue as indicative of our future performance. However, we anticipate that we will significantly expand our
operations and employee headcount in the near term, both domestically and internationally, particularly with
respect to our sales force. This growth has placed. and future growth will place, a significant strain on our
management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Our success will depend in part on our
ability to manage this growth effectively. To manage the expected growth of our operations and personnel, we
will need to scale our technology infrastructure and continue to improve our operational, financial and
management controls, and our reporting systems and procedures. Failure to effectively manage growth could
result in difficulty or delays in onboarding new subscribers, declines in quality or subscriber satisfaction,
increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new features or other operational difficulties. Any of these
difficulties could adversely impact our business performance and operating results.
If we fail to effectively manage our growth in a manner that preserves the key aspects of our corporate
culture, our business and operating results could be hanned.
We have experienced and may continue to experience rapid growth, which has placed, and may continue to
place, significant demands on ow management. operational and financial resources. For example, our headcount
has grown from 806 employees as of December 31, 2013 to 1,100 employees as of March 31, 2015. In addition,
since our inception in 2001, we have established subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Australia. We plan to
expand our international operations into other countries in the future, and such expansion may increase the risk
that we over hire or over compensate ow employees or fail to effectively integrate our rapidly expanding
employee base into our organization. We have also experienced significant growth in the number of subscribers,
consumers, transactions and data that our platform and our associated hosting infrastructure support. We will
require significant capital expenditures and the allocation of valuable management resources to grow and change
in these areas without undermining the core values of our corporate culture that have been critical to our growth
so far. We believe that our corporate culture fosters innovation, creativity and teamwork. However, as our
organization grows, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the beneficial aspects of such culture, and
the failure to do so could adversely impact our ability to retain and attract the kind of employees necessary for
ow future success. If we are unable to manage our anticipated growth and change in a manner that preserves the
key aspects of our culture, the quality of our products and services may suffer, which could adversely affect our
brand and reputation and harm our ability to retain and attract subscribers.
We depend on our executive officers and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees
or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect our business.
Our success depends largely upon the continued services of our executive officers and other key employees,
including our two founders. Richard L. Stollmeyer. our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert
Murphy, ow Chief Operating Officer. We rely on ow leadership team in the areas of research and development,
operations, security, marketing, sales, support, general and administrative functions, and on individual
contributors in our research and development and operations. From time to time, there may be changes in our
executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt our
27
EFTA00594761
business. We do not have employment agreements with our executive officers or other key personnel that require
them to continue to work for us for any specified period, and, therefore, they could terminate their employment
with us at any time. The loss of one or more of our executive officers, especially ow two founders or other key
employees, could have an adverse effect on our business.
In addition, to execute our growth plan, we must attract and retain highly qualified personnel, particularly sales
professionals and engineers experienced in designing and developing software and SaaS applications. Competition
for these personnel in the locations where we maintain offices is intense, especially in the San Luis Obispo area
where our headquarters is located, due in part to the relatively close proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area. We
have from time to time experienced, and we expect to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining
employees with appropriate qualifications. In some cases, we have recruited employees from the San Francisco Bay
Area and other regions with a greater supply of sales and engineering talent, and in such cases, we have sometimes
found it necessary to offer compensation packages that were larger than would have been necessary if no relocation
had been required. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater
resources than we have and are located in areas in which sales and engineering talent is more readily available. If we
hire employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers may attempt to assert that these
employees have breached their legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of our time and resources. In addition, job
candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the equity awards they receive in connection with
their employment. If the perceived value of our equity awards declines, our ability to recruit and retain highly
skilled employees may be adversely impacted. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate ow
current personnel, our business and future growth prospects could be adversely affected.
We do not have the history with our subscription or pricing models necessary to accurately predict optimal
pricing necessary to attract new subscribers and retain existing subscribers.
We have limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices for our platform. In January
2015, we introduced changes to our pricing model for new subscribers, and in the future we expect to make
further changes to our pricing model from time to time. As the market for our platform matures, or as
competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may be unable to attract new
subscribers at the same price or based on the same pricing models that we have used historically. Moreover, we
have limited experience selling subscriptions to larger organizations, which may demand substantial price
concessions. As a result, in the future, we may be required to reduce our prices, which could adversely affect our
revenue, gross margin, profitability, financial position and cash flow.
If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand, our business, operating results, and financial condition
may be adversely affected.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as a differentiated and category•defining business
management software company serving the wellness services industry is critical to our relationship with our existing
subscribers and to our ability to attract new subscribers. The successful promotion of our brand attributes will
depend on a number of factors, including our marketing efforts, ow ability to continue to develop high•quality
software, and ow ability to successfully differentiate our platform from competitive products and services.
The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures. and we anticipate that the
expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive and as we seek to expand our platform. To
the extent that these activities yield increased revenue, this revenue may not offset the increased expenses we
incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand, our business may not grow, we may have
reduced pricing power relative to competitors. and we could lose subscribers or fail to attract potential
subscribers, all of which would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our financial results may fluctuate due to increasing variability in our sales cycles.
We plan our expenses based on certain assumptions about the length and variability of our sales cycle.
These assumptions are based upon historical trends for sales cycles and conversion rates associated with our
28
EFTA00594762
existing subscribers, many of whom to date have been small to medium-sized organizations. If we expand the
focus of our sales efforts to larger organizations, ow sales cycle could lengthen and become less predictable.
Other factors that may influence the length and variability of our sales cycle include:
•
our pricing terms, which were updated in January 2015 and will continue to vary over time;
•
the need to educate prospective subscribers about the uses and benefits of our platform;
•
the discretionary nature of purchasing and budget cycles and decisions;
•
the competitive nature of evaluation and purchasing processes;
•
evolving functionality demands;
•
announcements or planned introductions of new products. features or functionality by us or our
competitors; and
lengthy purchasing approval processes, particularly among larger organizations.
If we are unable to close one or more expected significant transactions with subscribers in a particular
period, or if one or more expected transactions are delayed until a subsequent period, our operating results for
that period. and for any future periods in which revenue from such transactions would othenvise have been
recognized, may be adversely affected.
Unfavorable conditions in our industry or the global economy or reductions in information technology
spending could limit our ability to grow our business and adversely affect our operating results.
Our operating results may vary based on the impact of changes in our industry or the global economy on us
or our subscribers. The revenue growth and potential profitability of our business depend on demand for business
management software generally and for business management software serving the wellness services industry in
particular. Historically. during economic downturns, there have been reductions in spending on information
technology as well as pressure for extended billing terms and other financial concessions. The adverse impact of
economic downturns may be particularly acute among small and medium-sized businesses, which comprise the
vast majority of our subscriber base. If economic conditions deteriorate, our current and prospective subscribers
may elect to decrease their information technology budgets, which would limit our ability to grow our business
and adversely affect our operating results.
The market for our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform is new and
unproven and may not grow.
Our addressable market consists primarily of millions of small and medium-sized businesses in the wellness
services industry, including businesses that offer yoga, Pilates, bane, indoor cycling, personal training, strength
conditioning, martial arts and dance exercise, as well as spas, salons, music instruction studios, dance studios,
children's activity centers and integrative health centers. It is difficult to predict adoption and renewal rates,
demand for our platform, the growth of this market, the entry of competitive products or services or the success
of existing competitive products or services. Any expansion in this market depends on a number of factors,
including the cost, performance and perceived value associated with our platform. You should consider our
business and prospects in light of the risks and difficulties we encounter in this new and unproven market.
Expanding the focus of our sales efforts to include larger organizations could result in higher costs and
longer and more unpredictable sales cycles.
In the future, we may expand the focus of our sales efforts to include larger organizations, which we believe
would result in higher costs and longer and more unpredictable sales cycles. With larger organizations, the
/9
EFTA00594763
decision to subscribe to our platform may require the approval of more technical personnel and management
levels within a potential subscriber's organization than we have historically encountered, and if so, these types of
sales would require us to invest more time educating these potential subscribers. In addition, larger organizations
may demand more features and integration and customer support services. We have limited experience in
developing and managing sales strategies for larger organizations and in successfully onboarding larger
organizations as new subscribers. As a result of these factors, these sales opportunities may not prove to be
successful or may require us to devote greater research and development, sales, customer support and
professional services resources to individual subscribers, resulting in increased costs and reduced profitability,
and will likely lengthen our typical sales cycle, which could strain our resources. Moreover, these larger
transactions may require us to delay recognizing the associated revenue we derive from these subscribers until
any technical or implementation requirements have been met, and larger subscribers may demand discounts to
the prices they pay for our platform. If we are unsuccessful expanding sales to larger organizations, our business
and results of operations could be adversely affected.
Our future performance depends in part on support from our partner ecosystem.
We depend on our partner ecosystem to create apps that will integrate with our platform. This presents
certain risks to our business, including:
•
these apps may not meet the same quality standards that we apply to our own development efforts, and
to the extent they contain bugs or defects, they may create disruptions in our subscribers' use of our
platform or adversely affect our brand:
•
we do not currently provide substantive support for software apps developed by our partner ecosystem.
and users may be left without adequate support and potentially cease using our platform if our partners
do not provide adequate support for these apps:
•
our partners may not possess the appropriate intellectual property rights to develop and share their apps:
•
our relationship with our partners may change, which could adversely affect our revenue: and
•
some of our partners may use the insight they gain from integrating with our software and from
information publicly available to develop competing products or product features.
The number of actual consumers using our platform may be lower than the number we have estimated.
We estimate that 24 million active consumers used our platform in the two years ended December 31, 2014.
While we do not directly monetize consumers of our subscribers' services, we believe that growth in the number
of active consumers on our platform also contributes to our subscriber growth. In calculating this number, we
have attempted to avoid duplicative counting of consumers by identifying consumers who may have used our
platform through different subscribers. However, in certain cases, a single consumer may have transacted with
multiple subscribers under slightly different names, in which case there is a chance that we have counted the
same consumer more than once. Given the challenges inherent in identifying whether a single consumer has
engaged in transactions on our platform under different names, we do not have a reliable way of identifying the
precise number of consumers using our platform. If the number of actual consumers is materially lower than our
expectations, our business may not grow as fast as we expect, which could harm ow operating and financial
results and cause our stock price to decline.
Our international sales and operations subject us to additional risks that can adversely affect our business,
operating results and financial condition.
In each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, we derived 14% and 16% of ow revenue from
subscribers located outside of the United States, respectively. In the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015,
we derived 15% and 16% of ow revenue from subscribers located outside of the United States, respectively. We are
continuing to expand our international operations as part of our growth strategy. We currently have sales personnel
30
EFTA00594764
and sales and customer support operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Our sales
organization outside the United States is substantially smaller than ow sales organization in the United States. We
believe our ability to convince new subscribers to subscribe to our platform or to convince existing subscribers to
renew or expand their use of our platform is directly correlated to the level of engagement we obtain with the
subscriber. To the extent we are unable to effectively engage with non•U.S. subscribers due to our limited sales
force capacity, we may be unable to effectively grow in international markets.
Our international operations subject us to a variety of additional risks and challenges, including:
•
increased management, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with having
multiple international operations;
longer payment cycles and difficulties in enforcing contracts, collecting accounts receivable or
satisfying revenue recognition criteria, especially in emerging markets;
•
increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;
•
requirements or preferences for domestic products;
•
differing technical standards, existing or future regulatory and certification requirements and required
features and functionality;
•
economic conditions in each country or region and general economic uncertainty around the world;
•
compliance with foreign privacy and security laws and regulations and the risks and costs of non-
compliance;
•
compliance with laws and regulations for foreign operations. including anti-bribery laws (such as the
U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the FCPA, the U.S. Travel Act, and the
U.K. Bribery Act 2010). import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and
other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell our platform in certain foreign markets.
and the risks and costs of non-compliance;
•
heightened risks of unfair or corrupt business practices in certain geographies and of improper or
fraudulent sales arrangements that may impact our financial results and result in restatements of our
consolidated financial statements;
•
fluctuations in currency exchange rates and related effect on our operating results;
•
difficulties in repatriating or transferring funds from or converting currencies in certain countries;
•
communication and integration problems related to entering new markets with different languages,
cultures and political systems;
•
differing labor standards, including restrictions related to, and the increased cost of, terminating
employees in some countries;
•
the need for localized software and licensing programs;
•
the need for localized language support:
•
reduced protection for intellectual property rights in some countries and practical difficulties of
enforcing rights abroad; and
•
compliance with the laws of numerous foreign taxing jurisdictions, including withholding obligations,
and overlapping of different tax regimes.
Any of these risks could adversely affect our international operations, reduce our international revenue or
increase ow operating costs, adversely affecting our business, operating results, financial condition and growth
prospects.
31
EFTA00594765
Compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our international operations substantially increases our
cost of doing business in foreign jurisdictions. We may be unable to keep current with changes in government
requirements as they change from time to time. Failure to comply with these regulations could have adverse effects
on our business. In many foreign countries, it is common for others to engage in business practices that are
prohibited by our internal policies and procedures or U.S. or other regulations applicable to us. Although we have
implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws and policies, there can be no
assurance that all of our employees, contractors, partners and agents will comply with these laws and policies.
Violations of laws or key control policies by our employees, contractors, partners, or agents could result in delays in
revenue recognition. financial reporting misstatements, enforcement actions, disgorgement of profits, fines, civil
and criminal penalties. damages. injunctions, other collateral consequences, or the prohibition of the importation or
exportation of our platform and services and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
If the market for SaaS business software applications develops more slowly than we expect or declines, our
business would be adversely affected.
The market for SaaS business management software is less mature than the market for on-premise business
software, and the adoption rate of SaaS business management software may be slower among subscribers in
industries with heightened data security interests or business practices requiring highly customizable software
solutions. Our success will depend to a substantial extent on the widespread adoption of SaaS business management
software in general and for the wellness services industry in particular. Many organizations have invested
substantial personnel and financial resources to integrate traditional on-premise business management software
solutions into their businesses. As a result, such organizations may be reluctant or unwilling to migrate to SaaS-
based solutions. It is difficult to predict subscriber adoption rates and demand for our platform, the future growth
rate and size of the SaaS business software market or the entry of competitive solutions. The expansion of the SaaS
business management software market depends on a number of factors, including the cost, performance. and
perceived value associated with SaaS, as well as the ability of SaaS providers to address data security and privacy
concerns. Additionally. government agencies have adopted. or may adopt. laws and regulations regarding the
collection and use of personal information obtained from consumers and other individuals, or may seek to access
information in our possession. either of which may reduce the overall demand for our platform. If we or other SaaS
providers experience data security incidents, loss of subscriber data, disruptions in delivery, or other problems. the
market for SaaS business management software, including our platform, may be adversely affected.
If SaaS business management software does not continue to achieve market acceptance, or there is a
reduction in demand for SaaS business management software caused by a lack of subscriber acceptance,
technological challenges, weakening economic conditions, data security or privacy concerns, governmental
regulation, competing technologies and products, or decreases in information technology spending. our revenue
could decrease and our business could be adversely affected.
We are subject to anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws with respect to our operations and non-
compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal and/or civil liability and harm our business.
We are subject to the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel
Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. and possibly other
anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which we conduct activities. Anti-corruption laws
are interpreted broadly and prohibit companies and their employees and third-party intermediaries from
authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to recipients in the
public or private sector. We use third-party representatives to sell our products and services abroad. In addition,
as we increase our international sales and business, we may engage with additional business partners and third-
party intermediaries to sell our products and services abroad and to obtain necessary permits, licenses, and other
regulatory approvals. We or our third-party intermediaries may have direct or indirect interactions with officials
and employees of government agencies or state-owned or affiliated entities. We can be held liable for the corrupt
or other illegal activities of these third-party intermediaries, our employees, representatives, contractors, partners.
and agents, even if we do not explicitly authorize such activities.
32
EFTA00594766
Noncompliance with anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws could subject us to whistleblower
complaints, investigations, sanctions, settlements, prosecution, other enforcement actions, disgorgement of
profits, significant fines, damages, other civil and criminal penalties or injunctions, suspension and/or debarment
from contracting with certain persons, the loss of export privileges, reputational harm, adverse media coverage,
and other collateral consequences. If any subpoenas or investigations are launched, or governmental or other
sanctions are imposed, or if we do not prevail in any possible civil or criminal litigation, our business, results of
operations and financial condition could be materially harmed. In addition, responding to any action will likely
result in a materially significant diversion of management's attention and resources and significant defense costs
and other professional fees. Enforcement actions and sanctions could further harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Certain of our operating results and financial metrics may be difficult to predict as a result of seasonality.
We believe there are significant seasonal factors that may cause us to record higher revenue in some
quarters compared with others. We believe this variability is largely due to our focus on the wellness services
industry, as many of our subscribers experience an increase in demand for their services in the first quarter of
each year due to their consumers becoming more motivated to pursue health and fitness goals in the new year.
Our rapid growth rate over the last couple years may have made seasonal fluctuations more difficult to detect. If
our rate of growth slows over time, seasonal or cyclical variations in ow operations may become more
pronounced. and ow business, results of operations and financial position may be adversely affected.
Our business and growth depend in part on the success of our strategic relationships with third parties,
including API platform partners, technology partners, payments partners and professional services partners.
We depend on. and anticipate that we will continue to depend on. various third•party relationships in order
to sustain and grow our business. We are highly dependent upon partners for certain critical features and
functionality of our platform, including data centers and third•party payment processors supporting our payments
platform. Failure of these or any other technology provider to maintain, support or secure its technology
platforms in general, and our integrations in particular, or errors or defects in its technology, could materially and
adversely impact our relationship with our subscribers, damage our reputation and brand, and harm our business
and operating results. Any loss of the right to use any of this hardware or software could result in delays or
difficulties in our ability to provide our platform until equivalent technology is either developed by us or, if
available, identified, obtained and integrated.
Identifying, negotiating and documenting relationships with strategic third parties such as API platform
partners, payments partners and technology partners requires significant time and resources. In addition,
integrating third-party technology is complex, costly and time-consuming. Our agreements with partners are
typically limited in duration, non-exclusive and do not prohibit them from working with our competitors or from
offering competing services. Our competitors may be effective in providing incentives to third parties to favor
their products or services or to prevent or reduce subscriptions to our platform. In addition, our partners could
develop competing products or services.
If we are unsuccessful in establishing or maintaining our relationships with these strategic third parties. our ability
to compete in the marketplace or to grow our revenue could be impaired and ow operating results could suffer. Even if
we are successful, we cannot assure you that these relationships will result in improved operating results.
We depend and rely upon SaaS technologies from third parties and on technology systems and electronic
communication networks that are supplied and managed by third parties to operate our business, and
interruptions or performance problems with these technologies may adversely affect our business and
operating results.
We rely heavily on hosted SaaS applications from third parties in order to operate critical functions of our
business, including sales automation and pipeline management, billing and order management, enterprise
33
EFTA00594767
resource planning, payroll and financial accounting services. If these services become unavailable due to
extended outages, interruptions, or because they are no longer available on commercially reasonable terms, our
expenses could increase, our ability to manage finances could be interrupted and our processes for managing
sales of our platform and supporting our subscribers could be impaired until equivalent services, if available, are
identified, obtained and implemented, all of which could adversely affect our business.
Our ability to provide services and solutions to our subscribers also depends on our ability to communicate
with our subscribers through the public Internet and electronic networks that are owned and operated by third
parties. In addition, in order to provide services on-demand and promptly, our computer equipment and network
servers must be functional 24 hours per day, which requires access to telecommunications facilities managed by
third parties and the availability of electricity, which we do not control. A severe disruption of one or more of
these networks, including as a result of utility or third-party system interruptions, could impair our ability to
process information, which could impede our ability to provide services to our subscribers, harm our reputation,
result in a loss of subscribers and adversely affect our business and operating results.
We have in the past completed acquisitions, and we may in the future acquire or invest in other companies.
Such acquisitions and investments divert our management's attention and may in some cases result in
additional dilution to our stockholders. In addition, we may be unable to integrate the acquired businesses and
technologies successfully or achieve the expected benefits of such acquisitions.
We have in the past acquired other companies, and we may in the future evaluate and consider potential
strategic transactions, including acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, technologies, services, products
and other assets in the future. We also may enter into relationships with other businesses to expand our platform,
which could involve preferred or exclusive licenses, additional channels of distribution, discount pricing or
investments in other companies.
Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and
expenditures. In particular, we may encounter difficulties assimilating or integrating the businesses, technologies,
products, personnel or operations of the acquired companies, particularly if the key personnel of the acquired
company choose not to work for us, their software is not easily adapted to work with our platform or we have
difficulty retaining the customers of any acquired business due to changes in ownership, management or
otherwise. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may also disrupt our business, divert our resources and require
significant management attention that would otherwise be available for development of our existing business,
whether or not they are consummated. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment or
business relationship may not be realized or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities.
Negotiating these transactions can be time-consuming, difficult and expensive, and our ability to complete
these transactions may be subject to approvals that are beyond our control. Consequently, these transactions,
even if announced, may not be completed. For one or more of these transactions, we may:
•
issue additional equity securities that would dilute our existing stockholders;
•
use cash that we may need in the future to operate our business;
•
incur large charges or substantial liabilities associated with the acquisition;
•
incur acquisition-related costs, which would be recognized as current period expenses;
•
encounter difficulties maintaining relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business;
•
encounter difficulties incorporating acquired technologies and rights into our platform and of
maintaining quality and security standards consistent with our reputation and brand;
•
incur debt on terms unfavorable to us or that we are unable to repay;
34
EFTA00594768
•
encounter difficulties retaining key employees of the acquired company, integrating diverse software
codes or business cultures or coordinating organizations that are geographically diverse and that have
different business cultures: and
•
become subject to adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation or deferred compensation
charges.
We may be sued by third parties for alleged infringement of their proprietary rights.
There is considerable patent and other intellectual property development activity in our industry. Our future
success depends in part on not infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others. From time to time, we
may receive claims from third parties, including our competitors, that our platform and underlying technology
infringe or violate a third party's intellectual property rights, and we may be found to be infringing upon such
rights. We may be unaware of the intellectual property rights of others that may cover some or all of our
technology. Any claims or litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses and, if successfully asserted
against us, could require that we pay substantial damages or ongoing royalty payments, prevent us from offering
our platform, or require that we comply with other unfavorable terms. We may also be obligated to indemnify
our subscribers or business partners in connection with any such litigation and to obtain licenses, modify our
platform or refund subscription fees, which could further exhaust our resources. In addition, we may incur
substantial costs to resolve claims or litigation, whether or not successfully asserted against us, which could
include payment of significant settlement, royalty or license fees, modification of our platform or refunds to
subscribers of subscription fees. Even if we were to prevail in the event of claims or litigation against us, any
claim or litigation regarding our intellectual property could be costly and time-consuming and divert the attention
of our management and other employees from our business operations.
Our use of "open source" software could adversely affect our ability to sell our platform and subject us to
possible litigation.
We use open source software in our platform and expect to continue to use open source software in the
future. We may face claims from others claiming ownership of, or seeking to enforce the terms of, an open
source license, including by demanding release of the open source software, derivative works or our proprietary
source code that was developed using such software. These claims could also result in litigation, require us to
purchase a costly license or require us to devote additional research and development resources to change our
platform, any of which would have a negative effect on our business and operating results. In addition, if the
license terms for the open source software we utilize change, we may be forced to reengineer our platform or
incur additional costs. Although we have implemented policies to regulate the use and incorporation of open
source software into our platform, we cannot be certain that we have not incorporated open source software in
our platform in a manner that is inconsistent with such policies.
Any failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our proprietary
technology and our brand.
Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our intellectual property. We currently have 16
pending patent applications, but there is no guarantee that such applications will result in issued patents. We
primarily rely on copyright, trade secret and trademark laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license
agreements with our employees, subscribers, partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights.
However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate.
To protect our intellectual property rights, we may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and
protect these rights. Litigation brought to protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could be costly,
time-consuming and distracting to management, and could result in the impairment or loss of portions of our
intellectual property. Furthermore, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights may be met with
35
EFTA00594769
defenses, counterclaims and countersuits attacking the validity and enforceability of our intellectual property
rights. Our failure to secure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our brand
and adversely impact our business.
Our subscribers may become dissatisfied with our platform if they receive negative reviews from consumers
using Connect. in addition, we may face potential liability and expense for legal claims based on the content
of such reviews on Connect.
Our subscribers consist of businesses in the wellness services industry, including studios that offer yoga,
Pilates, barre, indoor cycling, personal training, strength conditioning, martial arts and dance exercise, as well as
spas, salons, music instruction studios, dance studios, children's activity centers and integrative health centers. In
addition to the business management software we provide to our subscribers, we also offer Connect, which is a
consumer•facing app that allows consumers to discover, book and pay for the wellness services offered by our
subscribers. After receiving a service or taking a class booked through Connect, consumers can rate their
experience by posting reviews. If consumers use Connect to post negative reviews regarding our subscribers or
their practitioners, our subscribers may become dissatisfied with our platform and cancel their subscriptions or
not use Connect to market their services to a broader group of consumers. In addition, there is a risk that
consumers may post comments on the Connect platform that give rise to potential claims against us, including
claims by our subscribers or other third parties for defamation, libel, negligence and copyright or trademark
infringement. Any such claims could divert the time and attention of management away from our business and
result in significant costs to investigate and defend, regardless of the merits of the claims. In some instances, we
may elect or be compelled to remove reviews or other posted content and may be forced to pay substantial
damages. If the reviews or other content posted by consumers on our Connect platform gives rise to the
consequences described above, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.
We may not be able to secure additional financing on favorable terms, or at all, to meet our Mare capital
needs.
We have funded our operations since inception primarily through equity financings, loan facilities,
financing agreements for software and license maintenance and subscription payments by our subscribers for use
of our platform. We do not know when or if our operations will generate sufficient cash to fund our ongoing
operations. In the future, we intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth, and we may
require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, a decline in the level of
subscriptions for our platform or unforeseen circumstances. We may not be able to timely secure additional debt
or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. Any debt financing obtained by us could involve restrictive
covenants relating to financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain
additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we raise additional
funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity,
our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any
new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our
Class A common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us,
when we require it. our ability to continue to grow or support ow business and to respond to business challenges
could be significantly limited.
Our loan agreement contains operating and financial covenants that restrict our business and financing
activities.
Borrowings under our loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank are secured by substantially all of our
assets, including our intellectual property. In addition, borrowings under our loan agreement are made based on a
percentage of our monthly recurring revenue for the prior months, up to $20 million. If our revenue declines, our
ability to draw under the loan agreement could be adversely affected.
36
EFTA00594770
Our loan agreement also restricts our ability to. among other things:
•
sell or otherwise dispose of our assets:
•
make material changes in our business;
•
enter into a transaction in which stockholders who were not stockholders immediately prior to such
transaction own more than 40% of our voting stock after giving effect to such transaction (other than
pursuant to an initial public offering and certain other exceptions);
•
consolidate, merge with, or acquire other entities:
•
incur additional indebtedness;
•
create liens on our assets:
•
pay dividends or make other distributions on our capital stock:
•
make investments;
•
enter into transactions with affiliates: and
pay off or redeem subordinated indebtedness.
These restrictions are subject to certain exceptions. In addition, ow loan agreement requires us to maintain a
certain percentage of ow projected revenue. The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in the loan
agreement, as well as any future financing agreements that we may enter into, could restrict our ability to finance
our operations and to engage in, expand or otherwise pursue business activities and strategies that we or our
stockholders may consider beneficial. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond
our control, and future breaches of any of these covenants could result in a default under the loan agreement.
The loan agreement also contains customary events of default, subject to cure periods for certain defaults,
including, among others, payment defaults, covenant defaults, the occurrence of a material adverse change in our
business, defaults relating to certain legal processes affecting our assets or business, insolvency and bankruptcy
defaults, cross•defaults to other material indebtedness, material judgment defaults, and material
misrepresentations. Future defaults, if not waived, could cause all of the outstanding indebtedness under our loan
agreement to become immediately due and payable and would permit Silicon Valley Bank to terminate all
commitments to extend further credit and exercise remedies against the collateral in which we granted Silicon
Valley Bank a security interest
If we do not have or am unable to generate sufficient cash available to repay our debt obligations when they
become due and payable, either upon maturity or in the event of a default, we may not be able to obtain
additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. This could materially and adversely affect our
liquidity and financial condition and our ability to operate and continue our business as a going concern.
We have in the past identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting that, if not
properly remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements in future periods and
impair our ability to comply with the accounting and reporting requirements applicable to public companies.
Our independent registered public accounting firm has not conducted an audit of ow internal controls over
financial reporting. However, as described below, in connection with the audits of our consolidated financial
statements, we identified material weaknesses in the design of our internal control over financial reporting, as
defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of the U.S. A material
weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not
be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, we discovered two material weaknesses that resulted from (i) a
37
EFTA00594771
lack of a sufficient number of qualified personnel within our accounting department that possessed an
appropriate level of expertise to perform certain accounting functions and (ii) the failure to establish proper
access controls to our accounting software and proper controls to review and approve manual journal entries. In
connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31,
2013, we discovered a material weakness related to the inadequate design and implementation of controls and
procedures with respect to capitalization of development costs for internal use software. Finally, in connection
with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and
2014, we identified a material weakness related to the inadequate design and implementation of controls and
procedures with respect to the identification of and evaluation of accounting for certain features, including the
related fair value computation, and transactions related to our redeemable convertible preferred stock. Please see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Internal Control
Over Financial Reporting" for information regarding our remediation efforts. Our management and independent
registered public accounting firm did not and were not required to perform an evaluation of our internal control
over financial reporting as of and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014 in accordance with the
provisions of the JOBS Act.
We believe that we have remediated the material weaknesses from our 2012 audit and the material weakness
from ow 2013 audit related to capitalization of development costs for internal use software. Although the material
weakness from our 2013 and 2014 audit related to the accounting for certain features of and transactions related to our
redeemable convertible preferred stock had not been remediated as of December 31, 2014. all shares of redeemable
convertible preferred stock will be automatically converted into shares of Class B common stock immediately prior to
the completion of this offering. As a result, following the offering. we will no longer be subject to the accounting rules
that gave rise to the material weakness. Nevertheless, we cannot be certain that other material weaknesses and control
deficiencies will not be discovered in the future. If our remediation efforts are not successful or other material
weaknesses or control deficiencies occur in the future, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately or on
a timely basis, which could cause our reported financial results to be materially misstated and result in the loss of
investor confidence or delisting and cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. As a result of such
failures, we could also become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities are listed, the
SEC. or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could
harm our reputation. financial condition or divert financial and management resources from ow core business.
We face exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
We conduct transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. While we have primarily transacted with
subscribers and vendors in U.S. dollars, we have transacted in foreign currencies for subscriptions to our
platform and expect to significantly expand the number of transactions with subscribers for our platform that are
denominated in foreign currencies in the future. As a result of such foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, it
could be more difficult to detect underlying trends in our business and results of operations. In addition, to the
extent that fluctuations in currency exchange rates cause our results of operations to differ from our expectations
or the expectations of our investors, the trading price of our Class A common stock could be adversely affected.
We do not currently maintain a program to hedge transactional exposures in foreign currencies. However, in
the future, we may use derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts, to hedge
certain exposures to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The use of such hedging activities may not
offset any or more than a portion of the adverse financial effects of unfavorable movements in foreign exchange
rates over the limited time the hedges are in place. Moreover, the use of hedging instruments may introduce
additional risks if we are unable to structure effective hedges with such instruments.
We may be subject to additional tax liabilities in connection with our operations or due to future legislation,
each of which could materially impact our financial position and results of operation.
We are subject to federal and state income, sales, use. value added and other taxes in the United States and
other countries in which we conduct business, and such laws and rates vary by jurisdiction. We do not collect
38
EFTA00594772
sales and use, value added and similar taxes in all jurisdictions in which we have sales, based on our belief that
such taxes are not applicable. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect sales, use, value added or other
taxes on our sales may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties and
interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future.
Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. We generally
conduct our international operations through wholly owned subsidiaries and report our taxable income in various
jurisdictions worldwide based upon our business operations in those jurisdictions. Our intercompany
relationships are subject to complex transfer pricing regulations administered by taxing authorities in various
jurisdictions. These determinations are highly complex and require detailed analysis of the available information
and applicable statutes and regulatory materials. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many
transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.
Although we believe our tax practices and provisions are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits
and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical tax practices, provisions and accruals.
If we receive an adverse ruling as a result of an audit, or we unilaterally determine that we have misinterpreted
provisions of the tax regulations to which we are subject, there could be a material effect on our tax provision,
net income or cash flows in the period or periods for which that determination is made, which could materially
impact our financial results. Further, any changes in the taxation of our activities, including certain proposed
changes in U.S. tax laws, may increase our worldwide effective tax rate and adversely affect our financial
position and results of operations. In addition, liabilities associated with taxes are often subject to an extended or
indefinite statute of limitations period. Therefore, we may be subject to additional tax liability (including
penalties and interest) for a particular year for extended periods of time.
Our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income may be subject to certain limitations.
As of December 31, 2014. we had federal and state net operating loss carryfonvards, or NOLs, of $58.8
million and $47.4 million, respectively, due to prior period losses, which, subject to the following discussion, are
generally available to be carried forward to offset our future taxable income, if any, until such NOLs are used or
expire. Our federal NOLs begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2025, and our state NOLs begin to
expire in the year ending December 31, 2015. In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, or the Code, a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" is subject to limitations on
its ability to utilize its NOLs to offset future taxable income. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Our
existing NOLs may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes, and if we undergo an
ownership change in connection with or after this offering, our ability to utilize NOLs could be further limited by
Section 382 of the Code. Future changes in our stock ownership, some of which are outside of our control, could
result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. Furthermore, our ability to utilize NOLs of
companies that we have acquired or may acquire in the future may be subject to limitations. There is also a risk
that due to regulatory changes, such as suspensions on the use of NOLs, or other unforeseen reasons, our existing
NOLs could expire or otherwise be unavailable to offset future income tax liabilities. For these reasons, we may
not be able to realize a tax benefit from the use of our NOLs, whether or not we attain profitability.
The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this prospectus may prove to
be inaccurate, and even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could
fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.
Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on
assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts in this prospectus
relating to the size and expected growth of the market for business management software serving the wellness
services industry may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates
and growth forecasted in this prospectus, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. For more
information regarding the estimates of market opportunity and the forecasts of market growth included in this
prospectus, see the section titled "Market, Industry and Other Data."

EFTA00594773
Changes in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may
diminish the demand for our platform, and could have a negative impact on our business.
The future success of our business depends upon the continued use of the Internet as a primary medium for
commerce, communication and business applications. Federal, state or foreign government bodies or agencies
have in the past adopted, and may in the future adopt, laws or regulations affecting the use of the Internet as a
commercial medium. Changes in these laws or regulations could require us to modify ow platform in order to
comply with these changes. In addition, government agencies or private organizations have imposed and may
impose additional taxes, fees or other charges for accessing the Internet or commerce conducted via the Internet.
These laws or charges could limit the growth of Internet-related commerce or communications generally. or
result in reductions in the demand for Internet-based platforms and services such as ours. In addition, the use of
the Internet as a business tool could be adversely affected due to delays in the development or adoption of new
standards and protocols to handle increased demands of Internet activity, security, reliability, cost, ease-of-use,
accessibility and quality of service. The performance of the Internet and its acceptance as a business tool has
been adversely affected by "viruses," "worms" and similar malicious programs, and the Internet has experienced
a variety of outages and other delays as a result of damage to portions of its infrastructure. If the use of the
Internet is adversely affected by these issues, demand for our platform could decline.
Catastrophic events may disrupt our business.
Our corporate headquarters are located in San Luis Obispo, California, and we operate or utilize data centers
that are located in North America. Key features and functionality of our platform are enabled by third parties that
are headquartered in California and operate or utilize data centers in the United States. Additionally, we rely on
our network and third-party infrastructure and enterprise applications, internal technology systems, and our
website for ow development, marketing, operational support, hosted services and sales activities. The west coast
of the United States contains active earthquake zones. In addition, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant is
located a short distance from San Luis Obispo. In the event of a major earthquake, hurricane or other natural
disaster, or a catastrophic event such as a nuclear disaster, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, cyber-
attack, war or terrorist attack, we may be unable to continue our operations and may endure system interruptions,
reputational harm, delays in our app development, lengthy interruptions in our platform, breaches of data security
or data integrity and loss of critical data, all of which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results.
We are subject to governmental economic sanctions and export and import controls that could impair our
ability to compete in international markets or subject us to liability if we are not in compliance with applicable
laws.
As a U.S. company, we are subject to U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws and regulations, and
we are required to export our technology, software, products and services in compliance with those laws and
regulations, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and economic embargo and trade sanction
programs administered by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. U.S. economic sanctions
and export control laws and regulations prohibit the shipment of certain products and services to countries,
governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions. While we are currently taking precautions to prevent doing
any business, directly or indirectly, with countries, governments and persons targeted by U.S. sanctions and to
ensure that our business management software is not exported or used by countries, governments and persons
targeted by U.S. sanctions, such measures may be circumvented.
Furthermore, if we export our technology, hardware or software, the exports may require authorizations,
including a license, a license exception or other appropriate government authorization. Complying with export
control and sanctions regulations for a particular sale may be time-consuming and may result in the delay or loss
of sales opportunities. Failure to comply with export control and sanctions regulations for a particular sale may
expose us to government investigations and penalties, which could have an adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.
40
EFTA00594774
If we are found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions or export control laws, it could result in fines or penalties
for us and for individuals, including civil penalties of up to $250,000 or twice the value of the transaction,
whichever is greater, per violation, and in the event of conviction for a criminal violation for willful and knowing
violations, fines of up to $1 million and possible incarceration for those responsible could be imposed against
employees and managers. In addition, we may lose our export or import privileges and suffer reputations] harm.
In addition, various countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology, including imposing
import permitting and licensing requirements, and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to offer our
platform or distribute our platform or could limit our subscribers' ability to implement our platform in those
countries. Changes in our platform or future changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the
introduction of our platform in international markets or prevent our subscribers with international operations
from deploying our platform globally. Any change in export or import regulations, economic sanctions or related
legislation, or change in the countries, governments, persons, or technologies targeted by such regulations, could
result in decreased use of our platform by, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our platform to, existing or
potential subscribers with international operations. Any decreased use of our platform or limitation on our ability
to export or sell our platform would likely adversely affect our business operations and financial results.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class A Common Stock and this Offering
The dual class structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with those
stockholders who held our capital stock prior to the completion of this offering, including our executive
officer; employees and directors and their affiliates, which will limit your ability to influence the outcome of
important transactions, including a change in control.
Our Class B common stock has 10 votes per share, and our Class A common stock, which is the stock we are
offering in this offering. has one vote per share. All shares of our capital stock outstanding immediately prior to this
offering, including all shares held by our executive officers, employees and directors, and their respective affiliates,
will be reclassified into shares of our Class B common stock immediately prior to this offering. Upon the
completion of this offering, holders of our outstanding Class B common stock will collectively hold approximately
97.8% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock. Because of the ten•toone voting ratio between our
Class B common stock and Class A common stock, after the completion of this offering. the holders of our Class B
common stock will collectively continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of our capital stock
and therefore be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval so long as the shares of our
Class B common stock represent at least 9.1% of all outstanding shares of ow Class A common stock and Class B
common stock. These holders of our Class B common stock may also have interests that differ from yours and may
vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. This concentrated control may
have the effect of delaying. preventing or deterring a change in control of our company. could deprive our
stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their capital stock as part of a sale of our company and
might ultimately affect the market price of our Class A common stock.
Future transfers by holders of our Class B common stock will generally result in those shares converting into
shares of our Class A common stock, subject to limited exceptions, such as certain transfers effected for tax or
estate planning purposes. The conversion of shares of our Class B common stock into shares of our Class A
common stock will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class B
common stock who retain their shares in the long term. If, for example, Messrs. Stollmeyer and Murphy retain a
significant portion of their holdings of our Class B common stock for an extended period of time, they could control
a significant portion of the voting power of our capital stock for the foreseeable future. In addition, Messrs.
Stollmeyer and Murphy hold an irrevocable proxy to vote shares of our Class B common stock held by certain of
our stockholders, as described in the section titled "Principal Stockholders." As board members, Messrs. Stollmeyer
and Murphy each owe a fiduciary duty to our stockholders and must act in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believe to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As stockholders. Messrs. Stollmeyer and Murphy
are entitled to vote their shares in their own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders
generally. For a description of the dual class structure, see the section titled "Description of Capital Stock."

Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and Delaware law
contain or will contain provisions which could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying or preventing
an acquisition deemed undesirable by our board of directors. Among other things, our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will include provisions:
•
establishing a classified board of directors whose members serve staggered three-year terms;
•
authorizing "blank check" preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without
stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our
common stock;
limiting the liability of. and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;
•
limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings:
•
requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our
stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors;
•
controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder
meetings; and
•
authorizing two classes of common stock, as discussed above.
These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or
changes in our management.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents certain stockholders holding more than 15% of our
outstanding capital stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of at
least two-thirds of our outstanding common stock not held by any such stockholder.
Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws or
Delaware law that has the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control could limit the
opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our capital stock, and could also affect
the price that some investors are willing to pay for our Class A common stock.
An active trading market for our Class A common stock may never develop or be sustained.
We have applied for the listing of our Class A common stock on The NASDAQ Global Market under the
symbol "MB." However, we cannot assure you that an active trading market for our Class A common stock will
develop on that exchange or elsewhere or, if developed, that any market will be sustained. Accordingly, we
cannot assure you of the liquidity of any trading market, your ability to sell your shares of our Class A common
stock when desired or the prices that you may obtain for your shares of our Class A common stock.
The market price of our Class A common stock may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our Class A common
stock. The initial public offering price of our Class A common stock will be determined through negotiation
between us and the underwriters. This price will not necessarily reflect the price at which investors in the market
will be willing to buy and sell shares of our Class A common stock following this offering. In addition, the
market price of our Class A common stock following this offering is likely to be highly volatile, may be higher
or lower than the initial public offering price of our Class A common stock and could be subject to wide
4?
EFTA00594776
fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be related to our
operating performance.
Fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock could cause you to lose all or part of your
investment because you may not be able to sell your shares at or above the price you paid in this offering. Factors
that could cause fluctuations in the market price of ow Class A common stock include the following:
price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time;
volatility in the market prices and trading volumes of technology securities;
changes in operating performance and stock market valuations of other technology companies
generally or those in our industry in particular;
sales of shares of our Class A common stock by us or our stockholders;
•
failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by securities
analysts who follow us, or our failure to meet these estimates or the expectations of investors;
•
the financial projections we may provide to the public, any changes in those projections or our failure
to meet those projections;
•
announcements by us or our competitors of new products or services;
•
the public's reaction to our press releases, other public announcements and filings with the SEC;
•
rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;
•
actual or anticipated changes in our operating results or fluctuations in our operating results;
•
actual or anticipated developments in our business, our competitors' businesses or the competitive
landscape generally;
•
litigation involving us, our industry or both, or investigations by regulators into our operations or those
of our competitors;
•
developments or disputes concerning our intellectual property or other proprietary, rights;
•
announced or completed acquisitions of businesses or technologies by us or our competitors;
•
new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our
business:
changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles;
any significant change in our management; and
general economic conditions and slow or negative growth of our markets.
In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a
particular company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these
companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our
management's attention and resources.
A total of 31,967,544, or 81.7%, of the outstanding shares of our capital stock after this offering will be
restricted from immediate resale but may be sold on a stock exchange in the near future. The large number of
shares of our capital stock eligible for public sale or subject to rights requiring us to register them for public
sale could depress the market price of our Class A common stock.
The market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares
of our Class A common stock in the market after this offering, and the perception that these sales could occur
43
EFTA00594777
may also depress the market price of our Class A common stock. Based on shares of our capital stock
outstanding as of March 31, 2015, we will have 39,117,544 shares of our capital stock outstanding after this
offering. Our executive officers, directors and the holders of substantially all of our capital stock and securities
convertible into or exchangeable for our capital stock have entered into market standoff agreements with us or
lock-up agreements with the underwriters under which they have agreed, subject to specific exceptions, not to
sell any of our capital stock for 180 days following the date of this prospectus. Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC,
however, on behalf of the underwriters, may permit our officers, directors and other stockholders who are subject
to these lock-up agreements to sell shares prior to the end of the lock-up period. As a result of these agreements
and the provisions of Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act,
shares of our capital stock will be available for sale in the public market as follows:
•
beginning on the date of this prospectus, all 7,150,000 shares of our Class A common stock sold in this
offering will be immediately available for sale in the public market; and
•
beginning ISO days after the date of this prospectus, the remainder of the shares of our capital stock
will be eligible for sale in the public market from time to time thereafter, subject in some cases to the
volume and other restrictions of Rule 144 and our insider trading policy.
Following the expiration of the market standoff and lock-up agreements referred to above, stockholders
owning an aggregate of up to 27,543,986 shares of our Class B common stock can require us to register shares of
ow capital stock owned by them for public sale in the United States. In addition, we intend to file a registration
statement to register approximately 9,922,993 shares of our capital stock reserved for future issuance under our
equity incentive plans. Upon effectiveness of that registration statement, subject to the satisfaction of applicable
exercise periods and expiration of the market standoff agreements and lock-up agreements referred to above, the
shares of our capital stock issued upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of our Class B common
stock will be available for immediate resale in the United States in the open market.
Sales of our Class A common stock as restrictions end or pursuant to registration rights may make it more
difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales
also could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline and make it more difficult for you to
sell shares of our Class A common stock.
In making your investment decision, you should understand that we and the underwriters have not authorized
any other party to provide you with information concerning us or this offering.
You should carefully evaluate all of the information in this prospectus. We have in the past received, and
may continue to receive, a significant degree of media coverage, including coverage that is not directly
attributable to statements made by our officers or employees, that incorrectly reports on statements made by our
officers or employees or that is misleading as a result of omitting information provided by us, our officers or
employees. We and the underwriters have not authorized any other party to provide you with information
concerning us or this offering.
We may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which
may not yield a return.
Our net proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock in this offering will be used for
general corporate purposes, including working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Additionally,
we may use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire businesses, products, services or technologies. However, we
do not have agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions at this time. We will have broad discretion
in using these proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess
whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in
investments that do not produce significant income or that may lose value.

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management's attention and
affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.
As a public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, the listing requirements of the securities exchange on which our
common stock will be traded and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules
and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-
consuming or costly, and increase demand on our systems and resources. Among other things, the Exchange Act
requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to ow business and results of operations
and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In order
to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. As a result,
management's attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business and
results of operations. Although we have already hired additional employees to comply with these requirements,
we may need to hire even more employees in the future, which will increase our costs and expenses.
In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure
are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs, and making some
activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in
many cases due to their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as
new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty
regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance
practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this
investment will increase our general and administrative expense and a diversion of management's time and
attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws,
regulations, and standards are unsuccessful, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and
our business may be harmed.
We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more
expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced
coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult
for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our board of directors, particularly to
serve on our audit committee and compensation committee.
In addition, as a result of our disclosure obligations as a public company, we will have reduced strategic
flexibility and will be under pressure to focus on short-term results, which may adversely impact our ability to
achieve long-term profitability.
We are an "emerging growth company," and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements
applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
For so long as we remain an "emerging growth company," as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take
advantage of certain exemptions from various requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not
"emerging growth companies," including not being required to comply with the independent auditor attestation
requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive
compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a
nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute
payments not previously approved. We will remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of (i) the
last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (ii) the last day of the
first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenue is $1 billion or more, (iii) the date on which we have, during
the previous rolling three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities or (iv) the
date on which we are deemed to be a "large accelerated filer" as defined in the Exchange Act We cannot predict
45
EFTA00594779
if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some
investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our
common stock, and our stock price may be more volatile and may decline.
In addition, the JOBS Act also provides that an "emerging growth company" can take advantage of an
extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. However, we have chosen to
"opt out" of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting
standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth
companies. Our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised
accounting standards is irrevocable.
As a result of becoming a public company, we will be obligated to implement and maintain proper and effective
internal control over financial reporting. We may not complete our analysis of our internal control over financial
reporting in a timely manner, or these internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may
adversely affect investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.
We will be required. pursuant to the Exchange Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other
things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year beginning after the
effective date of this offering. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses
identified by ow management in our internal control over financial reporting.
We are currently evaluating our internal controls, identifying and remediating deficiencies in those internal
controls and documenting the results of our evaluation, testing and remediation. We may not be able to complete
our evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing
process, if we identify one or more material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that we
are unable to remediate before the end of the same fiscal year in which the material weakness is identified, we
will be unable to assert that our internal controls are effective. If we are unable to assert that our internal control
over financial reporting is effective, or if our auditors, when required. are unable to attest to management's report
on the effectiveness of ow internal controls, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness
of our financial reports, which would cause the price of our common stock to decline.
As a public company, we will be required to disclose material changes made in our internal control and
procedures on a quarterly basis. However, our independent registered public accounting firm will not be required
to formally attest to the effectiveness of ow internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of
the Sarbanes•Oxley Act until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the
SEC or the date we are no longer an "emerging growth company" as defined in the JOBS Act, if we take
advantage of the exemptions contained in the JOBS Act. To comply with the requirements of being a public
company, we may need to undertake various actions, such as implementing new internal controls and procedures
and hiring accounting or internal audit staff.
Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.
The assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated
offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, is substantially higher than the pro forma net
tangible book value per share of our outstanding capital stock upon the completion of this offering. Therefore, if
you purchase shares of our Class A common stock in this offering, you will incur immediate dilution of $10.99 in
the net tangible book value per share from the price you paid. In addition, investors purchasing shares of our
Class A common stock from us in this offering will have contributed 49.5% of the total consideration paid to us
by all stockholders who purchased shares of our common stock, in exchange for acquiring approximately 18.3%
of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 31, 2015 after giving effect to this offering. The
exercise of outstanding options to purchase shares of our Class B common stock or the warrant to purchase
shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock will result in further dilution.
46
EFTA00594780
If securities or industry analysts do not publish or cease publishing research or reports about us, our business,
our market or our competitors, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A
common stock, the market price of our Class A common stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that
securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our business, our market or our competitors. If any of the
analysts who cover us adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock or provide
more favorable recommendations about our competitors, the market price of our Class A common stock would
likely decline. If any of the analysts who cover us were to cease coverage of ow company or fail to regularly
publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price
of our Class A common stock and trading volume to decline.
We do not expect to declare any dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable friture.
We do not anticipate declaring any cash dividends on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future.
In addition, our existing loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank imposes restrictions on our ability to pay
dividends. Consequently, investors may need to rely on sales of ow Class A common stock after price
appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment. Investors
seeking cash dividends should not purchase shares of our Class A common stock.
Prior to the completion of this offering, there has been limited trading of our securities at prices that may be
higher than what our Class A common stock will trade at once it is listed.
Prior to the completion of this offering, our securities have not been listed on any stock exchange or other
public trading market, but there has been some trading of our securities in private transactions. These transactions
were speculative, and the trading prices of our securities in these transactions were privately negotiated. We
cannot assure you that the market price of our Class A common stock will equal or exceed the price at which our
securities have traded prior to the completion of this offering.

Company Data
In this prospectus, when we use the term "active consumers" as of a given date, we are referring to the
estimated number of unique consumers of our subscribers' services who have used our platform to transact with
our subscribers during the two years ending on such date. While we do not directly monetize consumers of our
subscribers' services, we believe that growth in the number of active consumers on our platform also contributes
to our subscriber growth. In calculating this number, we have attempted to avoid duplicative counting of
consumers by identifying consumers who may have used our platform through different subscribers. However, in
certain cases, a single consumer may have transacted with multiple subscribers under different names or using
different email addresses, in which cases they may be counted more than once. For a discussion of risks related
to our calculation of active consumers, see the section titled "Risk Factors — The number of actual consumers
using our platform may be lower than the number we have estimated."

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock in this offering
will be approximately $89.3 million, based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share,
which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and
after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by
us. If the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full, we estimate that the net proceeds to us would
be approximately $103.3 million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and
estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, which is the
midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or
decrease the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $6.7 million, assuming that the
number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after
deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Similarly, each increase or decrease of 1.0 million in the number of shares of our Class A common stock offered
by us would increase or decrease the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately
$13.0 million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting the
estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The principal purposes of this offering are to increase our capitalization and financial flexibility, create a
public market for our Class A common stock and enable access to the public equity markets for us and our
stockholders.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including working
capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures. Additionally, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to
acquire businesses, products, services or technologies. However, we do not have agreements or commitments for
any material acquisitions at this time. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in using these proceeds.
Pending the use of proceeds from this offering as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds that we
receive in this offering in short-term and long-term interest-bearing obligations, including government and
investment-grade debt securities and money market funds.
52
EFTA00594786
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any
future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. In addition, our ability to pay
dividends on our capital stock is subject to restrictions under the terms of our loan agreement with Silicon Valley
Bank. Any future determination to declare cash dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors,
subject to applicable laws, and will depend on a number of factors, including ow financial condition, results of
operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our
board of directors may deem relevant.

EFTA00594789
DILUTION
If you invest in our Class A common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the
extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our Class A common stock and the
pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering. Net
tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share
paid by purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible
book value per share of our common stock immediately after completion of this offering.
Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our total tangible assets less our total liabilities
by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding. Our historical net tangible book value as of March 31,
2015 was $27.1 million, or $2.40 per share. Our pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2015 was
$28.5 million, or $0.89 per share, based on the total number of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B
common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015, after giving effect to the automatic conversion and
reclassification of all outstanding shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock as of March 31, 2015 into
an aggregate of 20,673,680 shares of ow Class B common stock, and the resulting reclassification of the
redeemable convertible preferred stock warrant liability to stockholders' equity.
After giving effect to the sale by us of 7,150,000 shares of our Class A common stock in this offering at the
assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price
range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as
of March 31, 2015 would have been $117.8 million, or $3.01 per share. This represents an immediate increase in
pro forma net tangible book value of $2.12 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in
pro forma net tangible book value of $10.99 per share to investors purchasing shares of our Class A common
stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution:
Assumed initial public offering price per share
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2015
$0.89
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) per share attributable to new investors in
this offering
2.12
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after this offering
$14.00
3.01
Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering
$10.99
Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $14.00 per share, which is the
midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or
decrease, as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors by $0.17,
and would increase or decrease, as applicable, dilution per share to new investors in this offering by $0.83,
assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the
same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses
payable by us. Similarly. each increase or decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares offered by us
would increase or decrease, as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value by approximately
$0.25 per share and increase or decrease, as applicable, the dilution to new investors by $0.25 per share,
assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same, and after deducting underwriting discounts

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value

stockholders by approximately $7.2 million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the
cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
Except as otherwise indicated, the above discussion and tables assume no exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, our existing stockholders would
own 79.5% and our new investors would own 20.5% of the total number of shares of our common stock
outstanding upon completion of this offering.

•
5,481,954 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation
plans which will become effective prior to the completion of this offering, consisting of:

and
•
783,136 shares of our Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our ESPP.

Subscribers are defined as unique physical business locations or, in the case of our Solo software level,
individual practitioners who have subscribed to our cloud-based business management software platform as
of the end of the period.
Average monthly revenue per subscriber is calculated by dividing the subscription, services and payments
revenue generated in a given month by the number of subscribers at the end of the previous month. For periods
greater than one month, the average monthly revenue per subscriber is the sum of the average monthly revenue
per subscriber for each month in the period, divided by the number of months in the period.

Payments volume is the total dollar volume of transactions between our subscribers and their consumers
utilizing our payments platform.
Our dollar-based net expansion rate is based upon our monthly subscription, services and payments revenue
for a set of subscriber accounts. We calculate our dollar-based net expansion rate by dividing our retained
revenue net of contraction and chum by our base revenue. We define our base revenue as the aggregate
monthly subscription, services and payments revenue of our subscriber base as of the date one year prior to
the date of calculation. We define our retained revenue net of contraction and chum as the aggregate
monthly subscription, services and payments revenue of the same subscriber base included in our measure
of base revenue at the end of the annual period being measured.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
Adjusted EBITDA
To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally acceptable accounting principles, or GAAP, we have presented Adjusted EBITDA, which is a
non-GAAP financial measure defined by us as our net loss before stock-based compensation expense,
depreciation and amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration, change in fair value of preferred
stock warrant, impairment charges, provision for income taxes and other income (expense), net, which consisted
of interest income and expense and other miscellaneous other income (expense). We have provided below a
reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We have
presented Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus because it is a key measure used by our management and board
of directors to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends, to prepare and approve our
annual budget, and to develop short and long-term operational plans. In particular, we believe that the exclusion
of the amounts eliminated in calculating Adjusted EBITDA can provide a useful measure for period-to-period
comparisons of our core business. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information
to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our
management and board of directors.
Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in
isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations
are as follows:
•
Although depreciation and amortization expense is non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and
amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital
expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
•
Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect: (1) changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
(2) the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation; or (3) tax payments that may represent
a reduction in cash available to us: and
•
Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly
titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure.
61
EFTA00594795
Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA along with other GAAP-
based financial performance measures, including various cash flow metrics, net loss, and our GAAP financial
results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss for each of the periods
indicated:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in
conjunction with the section titled "Selected Consolidated Financial and Other Data" and our consolidated
financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward.
looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those
discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to. those
identified below and those discussed in the section titled "Risk Factors" included elsewhere in this prospectus.
Overview
We are the leading online wellness services marketplace with over 42,000 local business subscribers on our
platform in 124 countries and territories employing over 250,000 practitioners who provide a variety of wellness
services to over 24 million active consumers as of March 31, 2015. Our integrated cloud-based business
management software and payments platform for the wellness services industry helps our subscribers simplify
the way they run their businesses, attract and engage more consumers, boost their revenues and focus more on
what they love to do — improving people's lives. Moreover, we help consumers more easily evaluate, engage and
transact with these subscribers, enabling them to live healthier and happier lives. We are also a leading payments
platform dedicated to the wellness services industry. In the 12 months ended March 31, 2015, $6.3 billion in
transactions occurred between consumers and subscribers within our marketplace, of which $4.3 billion flowed
through our payments platform.
We were founded in 2001 with a vision to address the vast and growing demand for business management
software for the wellness services industry. We started as a hybrid desktop-web solution focused on yoga, Pilates
and spinning businesses. In 2005, we released our software as a service platform and began to scale ow business
into adjacent fitness categories, increasing our total addressable market and fueling growth in consumer online
bookings. Since then, we have made significant investments in our platform to enable increased penetration and
continued growth in consumer online bookings. In 2009, we released MINDBODY Finder, enabling available
classes and appointments to be aggregated for consumer search; released ow API Platform, enabling developers
and integration partners to build custom private apps and consumer-facing businesses on our platform; and
released aggregated consumer facing-scheduling capabilities to our consumer-facing partners. In 2011, Fitness
Mobile Apps used our API platform to build subscriber-branded apps that enabled consumers to search for and
book classes easily from their mobile phones. In 2013, we launched our MINDBODY Express mobile app for
businesses and our Connect mobile offering for consumers, thus connecting consumers with local businesses and
allowing them to discover, evaluate, book and pay for wellness services nearby. When we released Connect in
2013, we introduced centralized consumer login, account management, consumer reviews and multiple credit
card storage capabilities and released these capabilities exclusively on our own branded consumer app. All of
these milestones accelerated consumer engagement and ultimately established us as a powerful consumer brand.
International expansion has been an important growth driver for us. In 2008, we completed our first
integration of payments functionality into our platform for subscribers in Canada. In 2011, we opened our
London sales office and integrated payments functionality into our platform for subscribers in the United
Kingdom. In 2012, we opened a customer support office in the United Kingdom and integrated payments
functionality into our platform for subscribers in Australia and New Zealand. In 2013, we opened our Sydney
sales office, and by the end of 2014, we had complete payments integration in 41 countries and territories.

We primarily market and sell subscriptions to our integrated cloud-based business management software and
payments platform to small and medium-sized businesses in the wellness services industry, including businesses
that offer yoga, Pilates, bane, indoor cycling, personal training, martial arts and dance exercise, as well as spas.
salons, music instruction studios, dance studios, children's activity centers and integrative health centers.
We offer our software platform to our subscribers as a subscription-based service. Historically, our software
subscription pricing was based on the number of professionals employed by our subscribers. In 2015, after
substantial market testing and development, we began pricing our software subscriptions for new subscribers
based on software functionality. The vast majority of our subscribers subscribe to our software platform through
one month contracts that are billed in advance. We recognize software subscription revenue ratably over the term
of the subscription period. Additionally, we earn revenue based on the value of transactions processed by our
subscribers utilizing our payments platform, net of the costs charged to us by our processing partners.
We have achieved rapid subscriber growth through our effective sales model. We sell ow subscriptions
through a direct sales team with our primary sales operations in San Luis Obispo, California, New York, London
and Sydney. Our sales team qualifies and manages prospective and current subscribers, aiming to initiate, retain,
and expand their use of our platform over time. We benefit from organic search and positive word of mouth as
well as network effects from practitioners who often recommend MINDBODY to their employers. In addition,
through MINDBODY University events, subscriber conferences and webinars, we help our subscribers optimize
their businesses and grow their revenue, which benefits us through improved subscriber retention and an increase
in payments revenue. While we do not directly monetize consumers of our subscribers' services, we believe that
growth in the number of active consumers on our platform also contributes to subscriber growth.
As more local wellness businesses adopt our platform, more subscriber listings appear on MINDBODY
Connect. A larger critical mass of local wellness services on Connect attracts more consumers, which in turn
attracts more local wellness businesses that want to engage with these consumers, thereby creating powerful
network effects that benefit the entire ecosystem. We believe these network effects have been enhanced by our
recent introduction of MINDBODY Connect Workplace. As more corporate wellness subscribers adopt
MINDBODY Connect Workplace, their employees begin using our platform, which leads to increased demand
from local wellness businesses to be listed on Connect. As more local wellness businesses appear on Connect.
64
EFTA00594798
more employees use our platform to redeem their corporate incentives, which in turn leads to more corporate
wellness subscribers being attracted to our platform. Finally, as we add more subscribers, consumers and
employees to our wellness ecosystem, we attract more technology developers and partners who can use our API
to develop additional apps that extend the capabilities of our open platform.
We intend to continue scaling our organization in order to meet the needs of our growing subscriber base.
We have invested and expect to continue to invest in our sales and marketing teams to sell our software and
payments platform services globally. Our sales organization headcount grew at a compound annual growth rate
of 39% from 2012 to 2014. A key element of our growth strategy is the continuous enhancement and expansion
of our software and payments platform by developing and implementing new features and functionality. Through
consistent innovation, we have increased both the number of subscribers and the revenue we generate from our
subscribers over time. We plan to continue to enhance our software architecture and enhance and expand our
platform through increased investments in research and development and by pursuing strategic acquisitions of
complementary businesses and technologies that will enable us to continue to drive growth in the future. We also
expect to continue to make significant investments in both our data center infrastructure and our customer service
and subscriber onboarding teams to meet the needs of our growing user base. While these areas represent
significant opportunities for us, we also face significant risks and challenges that we must successfully address in
order to sustain the growth of our business and improve our operating results. Due to our continuing investments
to grow our business, in advance of, and in preparation for, ow expected increase in sales, we are continuing to
incur expenses in the near term from which we may not realize any long-term benefit. In addition, any
investments that we make in sales and marketing or other areas will occur in advance of our experiencing any
benefits from such investments, so it may be difficult for us to determine if we are efficiently allocating our
resources in these areas. As a result, we do not expect to be profitable in the current three-year planning window.
Our financial performance reflects our significant subscriber growth and increasing revenue per subscriber.
Our total revenue increased from $32.0 million in 2012, to $48.7 million in 2013 to $70.0 million in 2014,
representing year-over-year increases of 52% and 44%, respectively. Our total revenue increased from $15.7 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $22.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015, representing
an increase of 42%. Our net loss was $5.5 million, $16.2 million and $24.6 million in 2012, 2013 and 2014,
respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $2.5 million, negative $11.5 million and negative $18.8 million for
2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, our net loss was
$4.8 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and Adjusted EBITDA was negative $3.8 million and negative
$5.3 million, respectively. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, please see the section titled
"Summary Consolidated Financial and Other Data—Non-GAAP Financial Measure." During 2014 and the three
months ended March 31, 2015, approximately 84% of ow revenue came from the United States. Our employee
headcount has increased from 806 employees as of December 31, 2013 to 1,035 as of December 31, 2014, and to
1,100 as of March 31, 2015, of which approximately 28% are engaged in supporting existing subscribers and
approximately 51% are engaged in increasing our subscriber base, growing our consumer brand or developing
future products.
Our Business Model
Our business model focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of a subscriber relationship. We make
significant investments in acquiring and onboarding new subscribers and believe that we will be able to achieve a
positive return on these investments by retaining subscribers and expanding the revenue derived from our
subscribers over the lifetime of the relationship. In connection with the acquisition of new subscribers, we incur
and recognize significant upfront costs. These costs include sales; onboarding and marketing costs associated
with acquiring new subscribers, such as sales commission expenses, which are expensed upfront; the cost of the
onboarding personnel who provide the initial onboarding training to ow new subscribers; marketing costs, which
are expensed as incurred; and the cost associated with converting and importing subscriber data from
competitors' products. Due to our subscription model, we recognize software subscription revenue ratably over
the monthly term of the subscription period, which commences when all of the revenue recognition criteria have
been met. We recognize revenue from our payments platform on a net basis when the transactions occur.
65
EFTA00594799
Although our objective is for each subscriber to be profitable for us over the duration of our relationship, the
costs we incur with respect to any subscriber relationship, whether a new subscriber or an upsell to an existing
subscriber, may exceed revenue in early periods of the relationship because we recognize those costs faster than
we recognize the associated revenue. As a result, an increase in the mix of new subscribers as a percentage of
total subscribers will initially have a negative impact on our operating results.
We realize different levels of profitability from our subscribers in large part depending on the fee level of their
software subscription and the volume of transactions they process through our payments platform. For new
subscribers, our accnriated sales, onboarding and marketing expenses typically exceed the first year revenue we
recognize from those subscribers. For typical subscribers, their monthly subscriptions automatically renew each month.
As a result, our sales and marketing expenses accnriated with renewals for our existing subscribers have been de
minimis. Over the lifetime of the subscriber relationship. we incur sales and marketing costs to upset' the subscriber to
higher levels of software functionality, to our payments platform. to our Premium Services and to our partners'
software offerings. However, these costs are significantly less than the casts initially incurred to acquire the subscriber.
We believe that the lifetime value of our subscribers has consistently exceeded five times the cost of acquiring them.
To illustrate the economics of ow subscriber relationships, we are providing an analysis of the subscribers
we acquired in fiscal year 2011, which we will refer to as the 2011 Cohort. We selected the 2011 Cohort as a
representative set of subscribers for this analysis because we believe the perspective of time is important to help
investors understand the long-term value of our subscriber base and because we believe the 2011 Cohort is
representative of our other cohorts. The 2011 Cohort includes all subscribers acquired in 2011. In fiscal year
2011, we recognized $3.7 million in subscription, services and payments revenue from the 2011 Cohort and
incurred associated costs that resulted in a negative contribution margin for the 2011 Cohort. Since we acquired
this 2011 Cohort of subscribers through the course of the year, less than a full year's revenue is reflected in 2011.
Starting in fiscal year 2012, our contribution margin from the 2011 Cohort turned positive, at 61%. By fiscal year
2014, we recognized $8.5 million in revenue from the 2011 Cohort, and ow contribution margin grew to 75%.
The contribution margin of our cohorts will fluctuate from one period to another depending upon various factors.

EFTA00594800
Contribution margin is the subscription, services and payments revenue for a group of subscribers in excess
of the estimated costs with respect to the same subscriber group, expressed as a percentage of associated revenue.
Costs include sales and marketing costs incurred to acquire and upsell that subscriber, onboarding, operations,
professional services subscriber support costs and costs associated with use of technology infrastructure. The
expenses allocated to the subscriber include estimates for personnel costs such as salaries and commissions,
direct costs, allocated overhead expenses and depreciation. We excluded stock-based compensation and
amortization for purposes of this calculation. In addition, we exclude all research and development and general
and administrative expenses from this analysis because these expenses support the overall growth of our business
and benefit our subscribers, partners and consumers. We consider the sales and marketing costs we incur in any
fiscal year to be primarily the cost of acquiring ow new subscribers in that fiscal year, with the exception of
estimated sales costs related to expanding our subscriber relationships and promoting our consumer brand, which
are attributed to each fiscal year in accordance with internal estimates. The costs for subscriber onboarding,
operations, professional services, and subscriber support are accounted for as cost of revenue.
We cannot assure you that we will experience similar financial outcomes from subscribers added in other
years or in future periods. We believe the estimates and assumptions we used to allocate costs are reasonable, but
the allocated costs could have varied significantly from the amounts disclosed above had we used different
estimates and assumptions. You should not rely on the allocated expenses or relationship of expenses to
subscription. services and payments revenue as being indicative of ow current or future performance. We cannot
predict whether revenue from the 2011 Cohort will continue to grow at the rate of growth experienced through
December 31. 2014, or whether the growth rate of other cohorts will be similar to that of the 2011 Cohort. While
the growth rate of revenue contribution from other cohorts has historically been similar to that of the 2011
Cohort, the growth rate may change as a result of our new tiered pricing model. We may not achieve profitability
even if our revenue exceeds costs from our subscribers over time. We encourage you to read our consolidated
financial statements that are included in this prospectus.

Subscribers. Subscribers are defined as unique physical business locations or, in the case of our Solo
software subscriptions, individual practitioners who have active subscriptions to our cloud-based business
management software platform as of the end of the period. We believe the number of subscribers is a key
indicator of the growth of our platform. Growth in the number of subscribers depends, in part, on our ability
to successfully develop and market our platform to local wellness businesses and their consumers who have
not yet become part of our network. While growth in the number of subscribers is an important indicator of
expected revenue growth, it also informs our management's decisions with respect to the areas of our
business that will require further investment to support expected future subscriber growth. For example. as
the number of subscribers increases, we will need to increase the headcount in our customer support
organization and our IT infrastructure capital expenditures to maintain the effectiveness of our platform and
the performance of our software for our subscribers and their consumers. The number of subscribers
increased in 2013 and 2014, and we expect the number of subscribers to continue to increase in the future.
The growth rate of the number of subscribers declined in 2013 and 2014 and may continue to do so in the
future as the size of our subscriber base increases.
67
EFTA00594801
Average Monthly Revenue per Subscriber. We believe that our ability to increase the average monthly
revenue per subscriber is an indicator of our ability to increase the long-term value of our existing
subscriber relationships. Average monthly revenue per subscriber is calculated by dividing the subscription
and services and payments revenue generated in a given month by the number of subscribers at the end of
the previous month. For periods greater than one month, the average monthly revenue per subscriber is the
sum of the average monthly revenue per subscriber for each month in the period, divided by the number of
months in the period. Average monthly revenue per subscriber increased in 2013 and 2014, and we expect it
to continue to increase in the future, although we expect the growth rate to fluctuate over time.
Payments Volume. We believe that payments volume is an indicator of the underlying current health of our
subscribers' businesses and of consumer spending trends as well as being a major driver of our payments
revenue. Payments volume is the total dollar volume of transactions between our subscribers and their
consumers utilizing our payments platform. Payments volume increased in 2013 and 2014, and we expect it
to continue to increase in the future. The growth rate declined in 2013 and 2014 and may continue to do so
in the future due to the increasing base amount of payments volume.
•
Dollar-Based Net Expansion Rate. Our business model focuses on maximizing the lifetime value of a
subscriber relationship. We can achieve this by focusing on delivering value and functionality that retains
our existing subscribers and by expanding the revenue derived from our subscribers over the lifetime of the
relationship by upselling the subscriber to higher priced subscription plans, utilization of our Premium
Services, subscription to our technology partners' software offerings and increasing the value of transactions
that they process through our payments platform. We assess our performance in this area by measuring our
dollar-based net expansion rate. Our dollar-based net expansion rate provides a measurement of our ability
to increase revenue across our existing customer base, as offset by chum, downgrades in subscriptions,
reduction in services utilization and reductions in the value of transactions that our subscribers process
through our payments platform. Our dollar-based net expansion rate is based upon our monthly subscription.
services and payments revenue for a set of subscriber accounts. We calculate our dollar-based net expansion
rate by dividing our retained revenue net of contraction and chum by our base revenue. We define our base
revenue as the aggregate monthly subscription, services and payments revenue of our subscriber base as of
the date one year prior to the date of calculation. We define our retained revenue net of contraction and
chum as the aggregate monthly subscription, services and payments revenue of the same subscriber base
included in our measure of base revenue at the end of the annual period being measured.
Components of Statements of Operations
Revenue
We generate revenue primarily from providing an integrated cloud-based business management software and
payments platform for the wellness services industry. As discussed further in "Critical Accounting Policies and
Estimates—Revenue Recognition" below, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement
exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or deterrninable and collectability is reasonably assured.
Our total revenue consists of the following:
Subscription and services. Subscription and services revenue is generated primarily from sales of
subscriptions to our cloud-based business management software for the wellness services industry. The
majority of subscription fees are prepaid by subscribers on a monthly basis via a credit card and, to a lesser
extent, billed to subscribers on an annual or quarterly basis. Additionally, our subscribers can choose to
enter into a separate contract with the technology partners to purchase additional features and
functionalities. We receive a revenue share from these arrangements from our technology partners, which is
recorded when earned. We also earn revenue from API platform partners for subscriber site access, data
query, and consumer bookings. The revenue from API platform partners is recorded when earned.
Subscription revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription agreement. Amounts invoiced
in excess of revenue recognized are deferred. Service revenue is generated primarily through our premium
customer support offering and is recognized in the period in which it is earned.
68
EFTA00594802
Payments. We earn payments revenue from revenue share arrangements with third-party payment
processors on transactions between our subscribers who utilize our payments platform and their consumers.
These payment transactions are generally related to purchases of classes, goods or services through a
subscriber's website, at its business location or through Connect. These transaction fees are recorded as
revenue on a net basis when the payment transactions occur. We expect our payments revenue to increase
both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue as we add new subscribers who utilize our
payments platform, as existing subscribers increase the volume of transactions that they process through our
payments platform and as our aggregate volume of payments reduces our related costs and increases
margins.
Product and other. We offer various point of sale system products and physical gift cards to our subscribers.
Product and other revenue is recognized upon the delivery of these products to our subscribers. We expect
product and other revenue to decline both in absolute dollars and as a percentage of total revenue as mobile
point of sale systems and electronic gift cards become more prevalent in the marketplace.
Cost of Revenue
Our cost of revenue primarily consists of costs associated with personnel and related infrastructure for
operation of our cloud-based business management platform, global customer support and onboarding services,
costs related to processing the payments of subscribers that pay via credit card and allocated overhead costs.
Personnel costs consist of salaries, benefits, bonuses and stock-based compensation. Allocated overhead costs
consist of certain facilities, depreciation and amortization of internally developed software costs.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, research and development, and general and
administrative expenses, and the change in the fair value of contingent consideration.
•
Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel costs, including salaries.
benefits, bonuses, stock-based compensation and commission costs for our sales and marketing personnel.
Sales and marketing expense also includes costs for market development programs. advertising, promotional
and other marketing activities, and allocated overhead. Sales and marketing expense is our largest operating
expense, and we expect it to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we increase our sales and marketing
efforts and expand our international operations, although such expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total
revenue.
•
Research and development. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel costs,
including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for our development personnel.
Research and development expense also includes outsourced software development costs and allocated
overhead. We expect research and development expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we
continue to invest in our research and product development efforts to enhance our product capabilities and
access new markets, although such expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
•
General and administrative. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel costs,
including salaries, benefits, bonuses, and stock-based compensation for our executive, finance, legal, human
resources, information technology, and other administrative personnel. General and administrative expense
also includes consulting, legal and accounting services and allocated overhead. We expect general and
administrative expense to continue to increase in absolute dollars as we grow our operations and prepare to
operate as a public company, although such expense may fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.
•
Change in fair value of contingent consideration. We recognized a contingent consideration liability related
to an earn-out provision from our acquisition of Jill's List in 2013, which was subsequently remeasured to
fair value at each balance sheet date with a corresponding charge recorded within operating expenses. The
period during which earn-out consideration can be earned will end in the second quarter of 2015, at which
69
EFTA00594803
time the associated liability will be permanently extinguished and no longer be subject to fair value
accounting. We do not expect to recognize significant changes in the fair value of the contingent
consideration during 2015.
Other Income and Expenses
Our other income and expenses line items consist of fair value remeasurement charges for our preferred stock
warrant liability, interest income and expense, and other income (expense), net.
•
Change in fair value of preferred stock warrant. The preferred stock warrant is classified as a liability on
our consolidated balance sheet and remeasured to fair value at each balance sheet date with the
corresponding charge recorded as change in fair value of preferred stock warrant. Upon the earlier of
exercise of the outstanding warrant or the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion of this
offering, the preferred stock warrant liability will be reclassified to stockholders equity, at which time it
will no longer be subject to fair value accounting.
•
Interest income. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalent balances.
Interest income has not been material to our operations.
•
Interest expense. Interest expense consists primarily of the interest incurred on ow financing obligations.
Interest expense has not been material to our operations, but we expect it to increase in future periods as we
recently entered into a build•to•suit lease agreement that includes an interest component. In addition, we
entered into a line of credit agreement in January 2015, and any future draws on this agreement will incur
interest expense and result in increased interest expense in future periods.
•
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net consists primarily of gains and losses from
foreign currency transaction and other income and expenses.
Provision for Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes consists primarily of federal and state income taxes in the United States and
income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions in which we conduct business. We have a full valuation allowance
for deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, and tax credits related primarily to research
and development. We expect to maintain this full valuation allowance for the foreseeable future.

employees dedicated to data center operations, global customer support and onboarding services as compared to
199 employees as of December 31, 2012. In addition, we recognized a $1.8 million increase in depreciation and
amortization expense during 2013 due to increased asset purchases primarily related to the expansion of ow data
centers in 2013. The decrease in the gross margin, or gross profit as a percentage of revenue, in 2013 was
primarily driven by our investment in growing our customer support team in 2013 to support the growth of our

Quarterly Trends
We have recently experienced rapid growth, which has resulted in a sequential increase in our revenue and a
corresponding increase in our cost of revenue and operating expenses to support our growth. The sequential
increases in quarterly revenue were mainly due to an increase in our number of subscribers, expansion of revenue
sharing arrangements with our API platform partners and technology partners, an increase in premium support
services and an increase in payments revenue from existing subscribers. The sequential increase in quarterly
operating expenses was primarily due to increased expenses related to the continued expansion of our technical
infrastructure and expenses related to increases in employee headcount.
Our historical results should not be considered a reliable indicator of our future results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since our incorporation in 2004, we have financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through
private sales of preferred stock, including through the receipt of proceeds in the amount of $74.7 million from the
issuance of our Series F and G redeemable convertible preferred stock in the three year period ended
December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$34.7 million and $22.1 million, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and money
market funds.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents balance will be sufficient to meet our working capital
requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and
we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital
requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in the
section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors." We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise additional
capital on acceptable terms or at all. In addition, if we fail to meet our operating plan during the next 12 months,
our liquidity and ability to operate our business could be adversely affected.
In January 2015, we entered into a loan agreement with Silicon Valley Bank for a secured revolving credit
facility that allows us to borrow up to $20.0 million for working capital and general business requirements.
Borrowings under our loan agreement are available based on a percentage of our monthly recurring revenue for
the prior months. Amounts outstanding under the credit facility will bear interest at the greater of the prime rate
(3.25% as of January 12, 2015) plus 0.5%, or 3.25% with accrued interest payable on a monthly basis and
outstanding and unpaid principal due upon maturity of the credit facility in January 2018. There are no
prepayment penalties if we repay principal and interest prior to maturity. The credit facility is secured by
substantially all of our corporate assets. We also granted and pledged a security interest to the lender in all rights,
title, and interest in our intellectual property. We are also subject to certain reporting and financial performance
covenants, which require us to meet certain revenue targets. We did not draw down any amounts under the loan
agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:

Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, operating activities used $6.5 million, primarily as a result
of our net loss of $7.9 million, partially offset by $2.7 million of non-cash charges, primarily consisting of $1.2
million of depreciation and amortization expense and $1.1 million of stock-based compensation expense, and a
$1.4 million net decrease in our operating assets and liabilities. The net decrease in our net operating assets and
liabilities was primarily a result of a $1.0 million increase in accounts receivable due to an increase in payments
revenue and revenue from technology partner arrangements and a $0.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and
other current assets, which was primarily due to the timing of payments to our vendors.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating activities used $3.7 million, primarily as a result
of our net loss of $4.8 million, partially offset by $1.1 million of non-cash charges, primarily consisting of
depreciation and amortization expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, operating activities used $17.9 million, primarily as a result of
our net loss of $24.6 million, partially offset by $6.1 million of non-cash charges, primarily consisting of
depreciation and amortization expense of $4.6 million and stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million.
The net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $0.6 million was primarily a result of a $2.1 million increase
in accounts payable due to a higher level of expenses consistent with the overall growth of our business, a
$1.4 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets due to the timing of payments to our vendors, a
$1.1 million increase in accounts receivable and a $0.7 million increase in deferred revenue. The increase in
accounts receivable and deferred revenue was primarily due to increased sales of subscriptions.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, operating activities used $8.2 million, primarily as a result of our
net loss of $16.2 million, offset by $4.8 million in non-cash charges, primarily consisting of depreciation and
amortization expense of $3.5 million, and a $3.2 million net increase in our operating assets and liabilities. The
net increase in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of a $1.8 million decrease in prepaid
expenses and other current assets and a $1.4 million increase in accounts payable due to the timing of the
payments to ow vendors, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales
of subscriptions.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, operating activities used $1.9 million, primarily as a result of our
net loss of $5.5 million, offset by $3.0 million of non-cash charges, primarily consisting of stock-based
compensation of $1.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.0 million, and a $0.6 million net
increase in our operating assets and liabilities. The net increase in operating assets and liabilities was primarily a
result of a $2.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities primarily
due to increased expenses and the timing of payments to ow vendors, partially offset by a $2.2 million increase
in prepaid expenses due to increased expenses consistent with our business growth.
Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, investing activities used $5.6 million, primarily as a result
of purchases of property and equipment of $3.4 million and cash paid to acquire a business of $3.0 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for
the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other purposes.
Segment Information
We have one primary business activity and operate in one reportable segment.
82
EFTA00594816
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in
the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate and foreign exchange risks.
Interest Rate Risk
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and money market accounts. The primary objective
of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing
risk. Because ow cash equivalents have a short maturity, our portfolio's fair value is relatively insensitive to
interest rate changes. We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would
have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition. In future periods, we will continue to
evaluate our investment policy in order to ensure that we continue to meet our overall objectives.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We have foreign currency risks related to our revenue and expenses denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. Dollar, principally British Pounds Sterling, the Euro and Australian Dollar, which are subject to
fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates may cause us to recognize transaction gains and losses in our statements of operations. To date,
foreign currency transaction gains and losses have not been material to our financial statements, and we have not
engaged in any foreign currency hedging transactions. As our international operations grow, we will continue to
reassess our approach to managing the risks relating to fluctuations in currency rates.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Prior to this offering. we were a private company and had limited accounting and financial reporting
personnel and other resources with which to address our internal controls and procedures. In connection with the
audits of our consolidated financial statements, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over
financial reporting. as defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
of the U.S. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial
statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with the audit of our consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012, we discovered two material weaknesses
that resulted from (i) a lack of a sufficient number of qualified personnel within our accounting department that
possessed an appropriate level of expertise to perform certain accounting functions and (ii) the failure to establish
proper access controls to our accounting software and proper controls to review and approve manual journal
entries. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2013, we discovered a material weakness related to the inadequate design and implementation of
controls and procedures with respect to capitalization of development costs for internal use software. Finally, in
connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2014, we identified a material weakness related to the inadequate design and implementation of
controls and procedures with respect to the identification of and evaluation of accounting for certain features,
including the related fair value computation, and transactions related to our redeemable convertible preferred
stock. Our management and independent registered public accounting firm did not and were not required to
perform an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting as of and for the years ended December 31,
2013 and 2014 in accordance with the provisions of the JOBS Act.
We believe that we have remediated the material weaknesses from our 2012 audit. In addition, during 2013,
we put in place additional controls over how ow software is capitalized, and as such, we believe that we have
remediated the material weakness from our 2013 audit related to capitalization of development costs for internal
use software. Although the material weakness resulting from errors in the accounting for certain features of and
83
EFTA00594817
transactions related to our redeemable convertible preferred stock had not been remediated as of December 31,
2014, all shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock will be automatically converted and reclassified into
shares of Class B common stock immediately prior to the completion of this offering. As a result, following the
offering, we will no longer be subject to the accounting rules that gave rise to the material weakness.
Nevertheless, we cannot be certain that other material weaknesses and control deficiencies will not be discovered
in the future. If our remediation efforts are not successful or other material weaknesses or control deficiencies
occur in the future, we may be unable to report our financial results accurately or on a timely basis, which could
cause our reported financial results to be materially misstated and result in the loss of investor confidence or
delisting and cause the trading price of our Class A common stock to decline. As a result of such failures, we
could also become subject to investigations by the stock exchange on which our securities am listed, the SEC. or
other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm
our reputation, financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our core business. See
"Risk Factors—We have in the past identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial
reporting that, if not properly remediated, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements in
future periods and impair our ability to comply with the accounting and reporting requirements applicable to
public companies."
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these
consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses, and related disclosures. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an
ongoing basis. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to
be reasonable under the circumstances. Our actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe that the assumptions and estimates associated with revenue recognition, internal-use software
development costs and the useful life of that software, income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and
valuation assumptions have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, we
consider these to be our critical accounting policies and estimates. For further information on all of our
significant accounting policies, see the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue on a transaction when all of the following conditions have been satisfied:
persuasive evidence of an agreement exists;
the service has been or is being provided to the subscriber or delivery of the product has occurred;
fees are fixed or determinable; and
•
the collection of the fees is reasonably assured.
Our primary sources of revenue are derived from monthly subscription and support services and revenue
share arrangements with the technology partners and third party payment processors. The subscription revenue
for the monthly service fees is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, which is most
often monthly but can be quarterly or annual. Our subscribers enter into separate arrangements with technology
partners and third party payment processors. Revenue derived from revenue shares arrangements with technology
partners and third party payment processors is recognized when earned on a net basis. We also earn revenue from
API platform partners for subscriber site access, data query, and consumer bookings. The revenue from API
platform partners is recorded when earned.
In certain circumstances, our arrangements include multiple elements which may consist of some or all of
subscription services, support services, and hardware products, which are included in Product and other. When
84
EFTA00594818
multiple-element arrangements exist, we evaluate whether any of these deliverables should be accounted for as
separate units of accounting.
Our support services do not have standalone value because we and other vendors do not sell support services
separately. Such support services are therefore combined with our subscription services as a single unit of
accounting. Our hardware products, such as point of sale systems, have standalone value because we and other
vendors sell the same products separately. Additionally, while there is a general right of return relative to our
hardware products, which are generally delivered upfront, performance of the subscription and support services
is considered probable and substantially in our control. Accordingly, we consider the separate units of accounting
in our multiple-element arrangements to be the hardware products and subscription and support services. For
arrangements with multiple elements which can be separated into different units of accounting, we allocate the
arrangement fee to the separate units of accounting based on vendor-specific objective evidence, as demonstrated
by separate sales with sufficient concentration in selling prices.
Capitalized Software Costs
We capitalize certain development costs incurred in connection with internal use software. Capitalization
begins when the preliminary project stage is complete, management with the relevant authority authorizes and
commits to the funding of the software project, it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will
be used to perform the functions intended and certain functional and quality standards have been meL
Capitalization of these costs ceases once the project is substantially complete and the software is ready for its
intended purpose. Research and development costs incurred during the preliminary project stage or costs incurred
for training, maintenance, and general and administrative or overhead costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized
software costs are amortized to cost of revenue using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of the
software of two to three years, commencing when the software is ready for its intended use.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this
method, deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income
in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance
is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets, unless it is more likely than not such assets will
be realized.
We also apply the provisions for uncertainty of income taxes. This guidance prescribes a recognition
threshold and measurement attribute for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be
more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. This guidance also applies to various
related matters, such as derecognition. interest, penalties, and required disclosures. We recognize interest and
penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in our income tax provision.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense is measured and recognized in the financial statements based on the fair
value of the awards granted. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-
Scholes option-pricing model and a single option award approach. Stock-based compensation expense is
recognized, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period of the awards, which is generally four years.
Our use of the Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions,
including the fair value of the underlying common stock, expected term of the option, expected volatility of the
85
EFTA00594819
price of our common stock, risk-free interest rates, and the expected dividend yield of our common stock. The
assumptions used in our option-pricing model represent management's best estimates. These estimates involve
inherent uncertainties and the application of management's judgment. If factors change and different assumptions
are used, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
These assumptions and estimates are as follows:
Fair value of common stock. As our stock is not publicly traded, we must estimate the fair value of common
stock, as discussed in "Common Stock Valuations" below.
Expected term. The expected term of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period that
the stock options are expected to remain outstanding.
Volatility. As we do not have a trading history for our common stock, the expected stock price volatility for
our common stock was estimated by taking the average historic price volatility for industry peers based on
daily price observations over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option grants. Industry
peers consist of several public companies in our industry which are similar in size, stage of life cycle, and
financial leverage. We did not rely on implied volatilities of traded stock options in our industry peers'
common stock because the volume of activity was relatively low. We intend to continue to consistently
apply this process using the same or similar public companies until a sufficient amount of historical
information regarding the volatility of our own share price becomes available, or unless circumstances
change such that the identified companies are no longer similar to us, in which case, more suitable
companies whose share prices are publicly available would be used in the calculation.
Risk-free interest rate. We base the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on
the yields of U.S. Treasury securities with maturities appropriate for the term of employee stock option
awards.
•
Dividend yield. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends and do not presently plan to pay cash
dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, we used an expected dividend yield
of zero.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to
determine the fair value of our stock options as follows:
Three Months Ended
Year Ended December 31.
March 31.

In addition to the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, we must also estimate a
forfeiture rate to calculate the stock-based compensation expense for our awards. Our forfeiture rate is based on
historical experience and expected employee attrition rates. We will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of
the forfeiture rate based on actual forfeiture experience, analysis of employee turnover, and other factors.
Quarterly changes in the estimated forfeiture rate can have a significant impact on our stock-based compensation
expense as the cumulative effect of adjusting the rate is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is
changed. If a revised forfeiture rate is higher than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made
that will result in a decrease to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements. If a
revised forfeiture rate is lower than the previously estimated forfeiture rate, an adjustment is made that will result
in an increase to the stock-based compensation expense recognized in the financial statements.
86
EFTA00594820
We will continue to use judgment in evaluating the assumptions related to our stock-based compensation on
a prospective basis. As we continue to accumulate additional data related to our common stock, we may have
refinements to our estimates, which could materially impact our future stock-based compensation expense.
Common Stock Valuations
The fair value of the common stock underlying our stock options was determined by our board of directors,
which intended all options granted to be exercisable at a price per share not less than the per share fair value of
ow common stock underlying those options on the date of grant. The valuations of ow common stock were
determined in accordance with the guidelines outlined in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Practice Aid, Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation, or AICPA
Practice Aid. The assumptions we use in the valuation model are based on future expectations combined with
management judgment. In the absence of a public trading market, our board of directors, with input from
management, exercised significant judgment and considered numerous objective and subjective factors to
determine the fair value of our common stock as of the date of each option grant, including the following factors:
•
contemporaneous valuations performed by unrelated third-party specialists;
•
the prices, rights, preferences, and privileges of our redeemable convertible preferred stock relative to
those of our common stock;
•
the prices of our redeemable convertible preferred stock and common stock sold to outside investors in
arm's-length transactions;
•
the lack of marketability of our common stock:
•
our actual operating and financial performance;
•
current business conditions and projections;
•
our hiring of key personnel and the experience of our management;
•
our history and the timing of the introduction of new products and services;
•
our stage of development;
•
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition
of our company given prevailing market conditions;
•
the illiquidity of stock-based awards involving securities in a private company:
•
the market performance of comparable publicly traded companies; and
•
the U.S. and global capital market conditions.
Historically, a third-party valuation firm has been engaged by our board of directors as needed to assist with
the setting of the exercise price for our option grants. If a grant of options occurred between valuation report
dates, the board of directors would assess if there had been any significant changes to the business and adjust the
exercise price accordingly; however, historically our board of directors has determined that there has not been
any significant changes and used the fair value of the common stock as of the date of the most recent, prior
valuation as the exercise price for these grants.
In valuing the common stock, the fair value of our business, or Enterprise Value, was determined by using
the value indications under a combination of valuation approaches, including an income approach and various
market approaches, and under five different possible future scenarios: a high and low IPO scenario; a high and
low
scenario; and a scenario in which we remain a private company. Prior to 2013, IPO and
scenario fair values were determined using the Guideline Public Company Method of the market approach. In
2013, we expanded our approach to include the Recent Transaction Method of the market approach for
87
EFTA00594821
scenarios. The Guideline Public Company Method of the market approach analyzes the financial performance of
our Guideline Companies while utilizing selected multiples of market value of invested capital, or MVIC,
compared to our twelve months trailing and projected revenue, as of the estimated IPO date. The Recent
Transaction Method of the market approach analyzes recent acquisitions of companies similar to our business
while utilizing selected multiples of MVIC compared to the twelve months trailing revenue, as of the estimated
transaction date. Stay private scenario fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis under the
income approach.
Each of the above valuations was prepared on a minority, non-marketable interest basis.
The Enterprise Values determined above are then adjusted to: (1) add back cash on hand and (2) remove
outstanding debt obligations: in order to determine an equity value, or Equity Value. The resulting Equity Values
are then allocated to the common stock using an option pricing method, or OPM, and a Probability Weighted
Expected Return Method, or PWERM. After the Equity Value is determined and allocated to the various classes, a
discount for lack of marketability, or DLOM, is applied to arrive at the fair value of the common stock. A DLOM is
applied based on the theory that as a private company an owner of the stock has limited opportunities to sell this
stock and any such sale would involve significant transaction costs, thereby reducing overall fair market value.
The valuations are highly complex and subjective. Following the completion of this offering, common stock
valuations will no longer be necessary as we will rely on market prices to determine the fair value of our
common stock.

Deemed Fair Value per Share
Our assessments of the fair value of our common stock for grant data between the dates of the valuations
were based in part on the current available financial and operational information and the common stock value
provided in the most recent valuation as compared to the timing of each grant.
As of December 31, 2014 and March 31. 2015. we had $5.9 million and $9.2 million of unrecognized stock-
based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, that we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of
3.0 and 3.1 years. In future periods, we expect our stock-based compensation to increase as we grant additional
equity-based awards and as we recognize the remaining stock-based compensation from awards granted prior to
this point.
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
We record the carrying value of redeemable convertible preferred stock at fair value upon issuance, net of
issuance costs, accreted to its estimated redemption value using the effective interest method. Accretion to the
carrying value is being recorded as an increase in the carrying value of the redeemable convertible preferred
stock and a reduction of stockholder's deficit.
88
EFTA00594822
We review the rights and preferences of our redeemable convertible preferred stock for any changes in
terms, rights or preferences to determine if such change is a modification or an extinguishment. An amendment
that, based on either quantitative or qualitative considerations, changes a substantive contractual term or
fundamentally changes the nature of the preferred share is considered an extinguishment. We consider both
expected economics as well as the business purpose of the amendment. If considered an extinguishment. we
remove the carrying value of the old securities and recognize the new securities at their current fair value. If
considered a modification, we recognize the change in the fair value of the security immediately before and after
the amendment as either a deemed dividend or a deemed capital contribution.
Preferred Stack Warrant
We account for freestanding warrants to purchase shares of our redeemable convertible preferred stock as
liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at their estimated fair value. Our outstanding preferred stock warrant
is subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date, and any change in fair value is recognized as a
component of other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of operations.
We will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of: (i) the exercise or
expiration of the warrant, or (ii) the completion of a liquidation event, including the completion this offering, at
which time the preferred stock warrant will be converted into a warrant to purchase common stock. Upon such an
event, the fair value of the warrant will be remeasured one final time with the related liability being reclassified
to stockholders' equity.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued authoritative guidance. which
changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under this authoritative guidance, an
entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as
an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The new guidance is effective for us beginning
January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2014, FASB issued authoritative guidance to clarify how current GAAP should be interpreted
in evaluating the economic characteristics and risk of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is
issued in the form of a share. In addition, the new authoritative guidance was issued to clarify that in evaluating
the nature of a host contract, an entity should assess the substance of the relevant terms and features (that is. the
relative strength of the debt-like or equity-like terms and features given the facts and circumstances) when
considering how to weight those terms and features. The effects of initially adopting the new authoritative
guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis to existing hybrid financial instruments issued in a
form of a share as of the beginning of the fiscal year for which the amendments are effective, with retrospective
application permitted to all relevant prior periods. The new authoritative guidance is effective for the years
beginning after December 15, 2015; however, early adoption is permitted. We elected to early adopt the new
authoritative guidance on a retrospective basis for all periods presented with the earliest period being January 1,
2012. Under this new guidance, certain features embedded in certain series of preferred stock that were
previously bifurcated and recognized as derivative liabilities within the consolidated financial statements are no
longer bifurcated. We believe retrospective adoption provides users of the financial statements the most
comparable and useful financial information and better reflects the underlying performance of our business.
In May 2014, FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides principles for recognizing revenue for the
transfer of promised goods or services to customers with the consideration to which the entity expects to be
entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance as currently issued is effective for us
beginning January 1, 2017. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose a one-year deferral to the effective
date, but to permit entities to adopt the original effective date if they choose. We are currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of this guidance.
89
EFTA00594823
In August 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that provides guidance on management's responsibility
in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern and by
providing related footnote disclosure requirements. This new guidance is effective for us prospectively beginning
January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this
guidance but it is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

LETTER FROM THE CO-FOUNDERS
Dear Prospective Investor,
Bob Murphy and I first met on the phone in early 2002. I was running MINDBODY from my garage in San
Luis Obispo, California. Bob and his wife Bev were running five yoga studios in New York. They were
searching for software that could display integrated schedules for their five studios and help them simplify
operations, better engage with consumers, boost revenues and improve profitability. Bob ordered the software on
that first call and we met face to face soon thereafter. Over the next two years, we spent many hours together —
on the phone and behind the front desks of the studios — troubleshooting the early desktop software and
brainstorming ways to make it better. When MINDBODY needed growth capital in 2004, I approached Bob and
we became business partners. Our unique experiences gained on the front lines of studio management software,
combined with a shared vision for the future of the wellness services industry, led us to reimagine MINDBODY
in the summer of 2004. We envisioned a different business model — one where all of the functionality of desktop
software could be delivered via a web browser and sold by monthly subscription, rather than an up-front
license. Thanks to the exceptional skills of our lead developer, and now Chief Product Officer, Chet
Brandenburg, our first subscription software was released in February 2005. We didn't fully realize it at the time,
but we were among a small group of entrepreneurs pioneering a powerful new business model — Software as a
Service (SaaS).
The SaaS vision we crafted in 2004 was fueled by our common belief that a global wellness revolution had
started and that it would grow for many years to come. We further believed that the wellness revolution would
cause the creation of millions of small fitness, spa, salon and integrative health businesses worldwide and that the
owners of these businesses had a common set of complex business problems that we could solve with online
software. We had personally met hundreds of these wellness business owners in the early years and understood
that most of them were non-technical by nature and had the majority of their net worth at risk in their businesses.
Understanding their high stakes, we concluded that we would need to build a highly engaged sales and customer
service team to meet their expectations of service and support. Finally, we imagined a day when the collective
offerings of this market could be made accessible in a single, online marketplace, and that this might become one
of the most important business opportunities of our age.
With recent changes in healthcare, the proliferation of powerful mobile and wearable devices, and the
advent of the cloud, everything we believed in 2004 is even truer today. We have created the leading online
wellness
services marketplace
serving over 42,000 local business
subscribers employing over
250,000 practitioners on our platform. These practitioners have delivered wellness services to 24 million active
consumers in 124 countries and territories.
We've come a long way since the release of our first SaaS solution in 2005, but our mission is not yet
complete. There are powerful applications and impactful connections yet to be made, millions of businesses to be
served and hundreds of millions of additional consumers to be engaged to realize MINDBODY's full potential.
To achieve our goals and maximize our value, our team must keep its eyes on our long-term vision. If you share
our long-term vision, it would be our pleasure to welcome you as a new stockholder of MINDBODY.
Sincerely,
Rick and Bob

businesses, attract and engage more consumers, boost their revenues and focus more on what they love to do —
improving people's lives. Moreover, we help consumers more easily evaluate, engage and transact with these
subscribers, enabling them to live healthier and happier lives. We are also a leading payments platform dedicated
to the wellness services industry. In the 12 months ended March 31, 2015, $6.3 billion in transactions occurred
between consumers and subscribers within our marketplace, of which $4.3 billion flowed through our payments
platform.
Our platform is specifically designed for the wellness services industry. Wellness encompasses multiple
dimensions of a person's well-being — physical, emotional, social, occupational and spiritual, among others. As a
result, we include health and fitness, integrative health, salon and spa, fine arts and children's activities as categories
within the wellness services industry. According to a report that we commissioned from Frost and Sullivan. ow
addressable market is approximately 4.2 million wellness businesses worldwide. Based on their analysis, Frost and
Sullivan estimates a $9.5 billion market for business management software solutions targeted at wellness businesses
in 2015 and expects this market to grow to $15.3 billion in 2018. which implies a 17.1% compound annual growth
rate, or CAGR. With over 42,000 local business subscribers, we estimate our current market penetration to be less
than 1%.
We believe millions of wellness businesses around the world are looking for a simple, efficient and reliable
way to manage their operations. Management tasks are generally time consuming, preventing business owners
from focusing on delivering their core services. This results in a loss of revenue-generating opportunities, lower
client satisfaction and lower client retention. We founded MINDBODY to enable these business owners to focus
on what they do best — whether it is creating beautiful hair, helping their clients lose weight and increase strength
and flexibility, or teaching yoga, meditation, dance or music. Through our integrated cloud-based business
management software and payments platform, we enable businesses to easily manage class and appointment
schedules, staff members, client information, online bookings, inventory, payroll and retail sales — all in a cost-
effective manner. We also offer advanced marketing and client retention capabilities to help businesses acquire
and retain their clients, and analytics capabilities to help them improve their businesses and plan for the future.
At the same time, we connect consumers with local businesses through our MINDBODY Connect platform,
which powers a mobile interface that allows consumers to discover, evaluate, book and pay for wellness services,
whether they are near their homes or traveling. Connect also gives these consumers a unified account that allows
them to access and manage multiple wellness services with one sign in and provides them with access to
authentic consumer reviews. The net effect of ow Connect offering is to increase the number of wellness services
purchased and used by consumers, thereby improving their lives while driving more business to ow subscribers.
As employers become increasingly focused on wellness programs to improve the health, fitness and
productivity of their employees, our MINDBODY Connect Workplace offering combines the power of our
software platform with the ease of ow Connect platform to enable employees to choose from a wide variety of
on-site and local wellness services. Employees can book on-site classes and appointments, discover wellness
services offered by MINDBODY subscribers in their area, and pay for those services using an employer-funded
wellness debit card. Employers then use the Connect Workplace Corporate Dashboard to gain insights into
employee engagement and analyze usage of corporate incentives and class participation at a macro level. We
92
EFTA00594826
believe Connect Workplace helps employees live healthier, happier and more productive lives, while allowing
employers to benefit from greater staff productivity, lower attrition and reduced healthcare costs.
We have enabled a rich partner ecosystem of over 600 developers and partners who extend the value of our
platform in powerful ways. These developers and partners have built applications that supplement our
capabilities in areas such as automation, marketing, mobile and social interaction. Several of these partners have
created significant consumer-facing businesses that rely on our unique inventory of classes, scheduling and
payments capabilities. All of this is enabled by our application programming interface, or API, through which we
grant access to approved developers and partners. We also integrate with partners that provide email marketing,
customer survey, events management and other functionality to augment the capabilities of our platform for the
benefit of our subscribers. We believe that the opportunities and technology provided by our partners enhance the
power of ow marketplace and contribute to the attractiveness and critical position of MINDBODY within the
wellness ecosystem.

As more local wellness businesses adopt our business management and payments platform. more subscriber
listings appear on Connect. A larger critical mass of local wellness services on Connect attracts more consumers,
which in turn attracts more local wellness businesses that want to engage with these consumers, thereby creating
powerful network effects that benefit the entire ecosystem. Similarly, as more corporate wellness subscribers
adopt Connect Workplace, their employees begin using our platform, which leads to increased demand from
local wellness businesses to be listed on Connect. As more local wellness businesses appear on Connect, more
employees use our platform to redeem their corporate incentives, which in turn leads to more corporate wellness
subscribers being attracted to our platform. Finally, as we add more subscribers, consumers and employees to our
wellness ecosystem, we attract more technology developers and partners who can use our API to develop
additional apps that extend the capabilities of our open platform.
Over the last few years. we have significantly increased our subscriber base, the number of practitioners on
our platform. the number of unique consumers engaged and the resulting volume of payments. We believe that

Industry Background
Increasing Focus on Personal Health and Beauty is Fueling Global Demand for Wellness Services
An increased focus on personal health and beauty represents a major global trend among consumers and is
driving growth in wellness services worldwide. As the desire for longer, healthier lives, attractive appearance and
overall physical and emotional well-being grows, more and more people are adopting a lifestyle that incorporates
a healthier diet, regular physical exercise, integrative health, salon, spa and other wellness services.
Improving physical fitness and nutrition is becoming a global imperative. Obesity, sedentary lifestyle and
associated diseases have become some of the world's most pressing public health concerns. According to
the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, over 2.1 billion people or
nearly 30% of the world's population are overweight. The highest proportion of the world's obese people.
over 13%, live in the United States. Obesity significantly increases health risks such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis and chronic kidney disease. According to a policy statement issued
94
EFTA00594828
by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, obesity is poised to overtake tobacco as the leading
preventable cause of cancer in the United States. A number of public health initiatives have helped shed
light on the central role that fitness plays in fighting obesity, diabetes and other health problems. As a result,
we believe fitness is becoming a top priority in the modem world: people are becoming increasingly health
conscious, recognizing the benefits of regular physical exercise and therefore seeking to achieve a healthy
weight and fitness level, thus driving the demand for health and fitness services such as CrossFit, yoga,
Pilates and various others contemporary workout methods.
Consumers are increasingly willing to spend more of their disposable income on wellness services. While
decades ago individual spending on exercise classes and spa and salon services was minimal, we believe
consumers across generations today are increasingly willing to allocate a more significant portion of their
disposable income to wellness services. Spending habits have remained resilient even in recessionary
environments. For example, during the recent economic downturn, the yoga and Pilates industry continued
to exhibit strong growth. Similarly, we observed significant gains in CrossFit, bane, Zumba and other group
exercise activities in the same period.
People increasingly consume salon, spa and integrative health services to enhance emotional, social and
physical wellness. In addition to health and fitness, the global market for salon, spa and other wellness
services is large and growing. In developed markets, we believe the aging population is demanding more of
these services. In the United States, the aging baby boomer generation is expected to be a source of
accelerating growth for the industry going forward. In emerging markets, we believe urbanization is driving
demand for these services since there are more social interactions that result in greater spending on salon
and spa services. Steady product innovation and the increased use of eco-friendly, non-toxic products
represent additional growth drivers. Traditional salon and spa establishments have steadily broadened their
product and service offerings to include facial products and services, Botox, hair and eyelash extensions,
teeth whitening, and integrative health services like acupuncture. chiropractic and homeopathy.
Growing Demand for Personalized Wellness Experiences has been Driving Industry Fragmentation
We believe consumers are increasingly seeking more personalized and effective wellness experiences and
are opting for smaller businesses that are more conveniently located and cater to individual needs and
preferences. As a result, the number of small wellness businesses has proliferated over the past decade, while all-
inclusive facilities such as large health clubs now comprise only a small percentage of the wellness services
industry's aggregate revenue. For example, according to industry research firm IBIS World, the top five national
chains in the gym, health and fitness clubs industry comprised an estimated 15.7% of total health and fitness club
revenue in 2014, with no single national chain holding more than a 5% market share. Meanwhile, the market
share of smaller businesses has been growing rapidly. This trend can be seen in the popularity of practices such
as yoga, Pilates, personal training, group exercise, indoor cycling, barre, Zumba and CrossFit. A large number of
these smaller businesses either employ only one person or are single practitioner establishments, such as personal
trainers and other mobile practitioners. According to IBISWorld, in the United States, 36% of health and fitness
businesses were operated by single practitioners in 2014.
Escalating Healthcare Costs are Driving Employers Worldwide to Develop Corporate Wellness Programs
that Incentivize the Use of Wellness Services
•
Healthcare costs are increasing significantly and employers around the world are increasingly turning to
corporate wellness programs as a way to reduce these costs. According to an article published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association, 68% of American adults are either overweight or obese.
According to healthcare research foundation The Commonwealth Fund, from 2003 to 2013, the annual cost
U.S. employers paid for family coverage rose 73% to an average of $16,029. A 2010 study published in the
Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine estimates that the cost of obesity among full-time
employees reaches $73.1 billion each year. To reduce rising healthcare expenses and excessive absenteeism
as well as to improve their employees' productivity, more and more organizations are implementing
95
EFTA00594829
corporate wellness and other incentive programs to encourage healthy behavior. Organizations can also
receive a discount on insurance if they implement health and wellness programs. The Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act, or PPACA, also supports these initiatives with numerous provisions intended to
leverage workplace health promotion and prevention as a means to reduce the burden of chronic illness and
to limit the growth of health care costs. A 2012 study by RAND Health found that participation in a
wellness program is associated with lower health care costs. As a result, over the last five years, employers
have increased their investments in employee health and are becoming more willing to incentivize health
improvements. In a Fidelity Investments Benefits Consulting Survey about employers' investments in
employee health, 74% of the 151 respondents across various industries reported that they will offer
incentives for health improvement programs to employees in 2014 versus only 57% in 2009. The survey
found that median incentive offered to employees increased to $500 per annum in 2014, up from $338 in
2010. According to IBIS World, employers are expected to spend over $11 billion on corporate wellness by
2019.
•
Despite the wide availability of corporate welhwss programs, the actual participation of employees in such
programs remains limited. According to the Business Journal, Gallup reported that although more than 85%
of large employers offer wellness programs, only 24% of employees at these companies actually participate
in the programs. We believe that there are two principal reasons for this dynamic. First, most employers and
their employees are lacking the right tools to incentivize participation in wellness programs. Rand Health
found that making wellness activities convenient and accessible for all employees is a key success factor for
corporate wellness programs. Second, many corporate wellness programs fail to provide access to offerings
that would suit diverse preferences and instead offer one-dimensional incentives like gym membership
subsidies, which may not appeal to the entire employee base.
Consumers Need a Single, Mobile Enabled Interface for their Wellness Services Needs
Changes in technology have led to an evolution in consumer expectations. Over the last decade, advances in
information technology have dramatically changed the way consumers interact with businesses. Consumers have
more choices, are better informed and are more connected than ever before. Due to the proliferation of the mobile
Internet, consumers have become accustomed to using their mobile phones to gain instant and convenient access
to information about local businesses and the services they offer. Consumers increasingly take advantage of user
reviews and recommendations and share information on social media sites. When it comes to online payments,
consumers expect to have a complete set of payment options and a seamless process. However, consumers often
find it complicated and time consuming to find and book wellness services due to the fragmented nature of the
wellness services industry. Browsing through wellness businesses on search engines or physically comparing
prices and quality of service as well as booking classes and appointments in person or over the phone can be
frustrating. Consumers increasingly expect to be able to identify, research and schedule the desired wellness
services using their mobile devices in a manner that allows them to view class schedules, practitioner details and
consumer reviews, make bookings conveniently outside business hours through web or mobile interfaces and pay
for these services seamlessly online.
In addition, consumers are increasingly leveraging technology to track their overall wellness. Over the last
few years, there has been a proliferation of wearable devices that track users' physical activity, heart rate, sleep
quality and other health indicators throughout the day. According to IDC, the market for wrist-worn wearable
devices is expected to grow rapidly, with units shipped growing by a 77% CAGR from 2013 to 2018. We believe
that over the next few years a significant number of U.S. consumers will begin to wear devices to track diet,
exercise, heart rate and other vital signs. Fuelled by advancements in fitness tracking technology, mobile apps
within the health and fitness category grew faster than the overall market in 2014. The rise of consumer interest
in improving wellness and tracking progress through wearable devices and mobile applications supports the need
for a broad wellness services platform that can help consumers achieve their goals.
96
EFTA00594830
Wellness Businesses Need an Integrated Software and Payments Platform that is Designed to Meet their
Industry-Specific Needs
Wellness businesses have to manage online bookings, staff scheduling and payroll, and resource allocation.
They also need to promote their wellness services, attract new consumers and nurture consumer relationships. In
addition, business owners need to keep track of key business performance indicators and take action to increase
revenue and improve profitability. Many wellness businesses use basic tools like paper forms or Excel
spreadsheets to perform some of these functions, which can be time consuming and distracting. We have
observed that the inability of business owners to focus on their core business often leads to lost revenue and
lower consumer retention. Some of the specific challenges facing wellness businesses include:
•
Consumer Scheduling. Many wellness businesses struggle with the complexity of scheduling appointments.
enrolling participants in classes and managing cancellations and wait lists.
•
Staff Management. Managing staff, scheduling resources and tracking practitioner schedules, pay rates and
commissions to accurately make payroll decisions is often challenging.
•
Payments. Wellness businesses often have to use different software, point of sale and payment processing
solutions that do not integrate with each other, which requires time-consuming and cumbersome manual
reconciliation between services delivered and payment records.
•
Analytics and Insights. To make critical business decisions, wellness businesses need to be able to track key
performance indicators, such as the return rate of first-time consumers, consumer lifetime value, class
popularity and staff performance.
Demand Generation. Small and medium-sized wellness businesses need effective but inexpensive
marketing tools to promote their services in an increasingly competitive environment.
Consumer Engagement and Retention. For wellness businesses, keeping consumers coming back on a
regular basis is essential for success. However, consumer relationship management is often time consuming
and challenging.
Ability to Expand Business on Same Software Platform. Whether hiring more practitioners or opening new
facilities, wellness businesses seek a business management solution that can support their growth with
minimal time and financial investment.
Wellness businesses need an easy-to-use and integrated cloud-based software and payments solution that is
specifically designed for their needs, is cost effective and can be accessed anytime from anywhere and on any
device.
Existing Of
Do Not Address the Needs of Wellness Businesses and Consumers
Many wellness businesses still use basic tools like pen and paper and Excel spreadsheets to manage their
operations. Legacy on-premise software vendors and emerging cloud software providers have developed tools that
attempt to address the need for efficient business management. but these tools often lack the depth of functionality
and industry expertise required to meet the unique needs of the wellness services industry. In addition, none of these
tools feature a large consumer network that can help wellness businesses drive demand. At the same time, the
process of discovering and booking wellness services for consumers is often time consuming and frustrating
because consumers lack a single interface that can address their wellness service needs.
Basic Management Tools: Pen, Paper and Excel Spreadsheets. Many wellness businesses today still use
paper books and loose sign-in sheets to schedule appointments and classes along with Excel spreadsheets to
track client data. The functionality of these legacy tools is limited — scheduling appointments and classes is
manual, time consuming and static because the data cannot be easily updated and shared. Apart from
scheduling, pen, paper and spreadsheets cannot effectively address any of the other business management
tasks that modem wellness businesses require — such as staff management, client relationship management,
marketing, analytics and payments integration.
97
EFTA00594831
•
Legacy On-Premise Software Offerings. We believe that legacy on-premise software offerings do not
adequately address the specific needs of wellness businesses because they are:
•
Difficult and expensive to deploy and use. Wellness businesses are often small or medium sized, have a
limited number of practitioners and do not have an IT department in charge of managing complex
software. The process to implement disparate on-premise software applications requires significant
resources, including costs associated with training and performance maintenance.
•
Static and inflexible. The introduction of new features in on-premise software offerings is often
cumbersome and inflexible, and such software does not easily scale with the dynamic growth and
constantly evolving nature of these wellness businesses. In addition, legacy on-premise software
offerings are also rarely adaptable or customizable to a variety of specific use cases, such as not being
well suited for both fitness studios and salons.
•
Limited online booking and demand generation capabilities. It is difficult to integrate consumer online
booking or synchronize multiple locations with an on-premise software offering. On-premise software
offerings also tend to lack demand generation or marketing capabilities, which small wellness
businesses need in order to succeed.
•
Not suited for mobile-only businesses. A large number of wellness practitioners are mobile
practitioners who need a mobile-only, easy-to-use business management solution that legacy on-
premise offerings do not provide.
Emerging Cloud-Based Software Offerings. There are a number of cloud-based offerings on the market
today that address some of the pain points associated with legacy on-premise software. However, we believe
that none of the existing offerings sufficiently address the needs of wellness businesses.
•
Lack of industry expertise and feature depth. There are a number of cloud-based appointment
scheduling software offerings on the market today. However, few of them cater to the specific needs of
wellness businesses, which include the ability to track different pay rates, commissions, and
appointment length for each individual staff member to calculate payroll correctly. Another challenge
is the tracking of pay and inventory used when staff members perform multiple services for different
clients simultaneously, such as cutting and coloring hair.
•
Lack of large scale access to consumers looking to address their wellness service needs. Emerging
cloud-based offerings do not offer wellness businesses access to consumers at scale and typically do
not provide consumers with access to a variety of wellness services. Therefore, they are not positioned
to be the go-to place for consumers to address their wellness service needs.
•
Lack of integration between demand generation, workflow management and point of sale. Some
providers connect consumers and businesses through a local review platform. However, online booking
and payments options are limited, while workflow management is non-existent. Some payments
processing vendors have begun to offer basic online scheduling features, but the depth of these features
is not sufficient for the complex operations of wellness businesses. Other software offerings provide
business management tools but lack a proprietary payments processing solution, which makes manual
and cumbersome reconciliations necessary.
•
Lack of social media integration and mobile applications. To attract consumers, wellness businesses
are increasingly interested in using social networks to promote their services. However, many business
management software offerings on the market today do not integrate with social media. For example,
most wellness businesses are not able to connect their class schedules with their Facebook pages. In
addition, while there are a large number of mobile practitioners who are looking for ways to manage
their wellness business on the go, existing cloud-based solutions lack effective mobile applications.
Limitations of Consumer Facing Applications. Despite the increasing interest in wellness and the
proliferation of wellness tracking devices and applications, consumers lack a single interface to connect
98
EFTA00594832
them to local wellness services. Most consumers find wellness services through outdoor advertising, word-
of-mouth or online search. Online search is often time consuming and frustrating since consumers have to
click through different websites, evaluate services, prices and locations as well as call the front desk to
schedule appointments or enroll in classes. In some cases, consumers use local business review platforms to
help them evaluate and choose between wellness service providers. However, these platforms typically lack
online booking and payment functionality. In addition, consumer reviews may lack credibility because users
are able to post reviews without actually having consumed the service.
The MINDBODY Solution
Our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform is specifically designed to
address the unique requirements of the wellness services industry. We help our subscribers simplify their
operations. focus on their consumers and grow their revenue by enabling them to attract and retain consumers. We

Integrated Software and Payments Platform Designed Specifically for the Needs of Local Wellness
Businesses. We have developed a cloud-based software and payments platform with powerful functionality
that addresses key aspects of operating a wellness business, including:
•
Client Scheduling and Online Booking. We believe we offer subscribers the most complete online client
scheduling capability available on the market today. Our subscribers can give their consumers the
opportunity to book their next visit wherever and whenever it is most convenient for them, whether through
the subscribers' websites, which are powered by MINDBODY, or through Connect. We are the only
platform provider that enables all four different types of scheduling that wellness businesses typically
encounter:
•
Appointments. One-on-one appointments typically require preparation time before the appointment as
well as finish-off time after the appointment. Our software can manage practitioner availability as well
as gaps between appointments in a time-efficient manner.
•
Open classes. Open classes offer reserved or drop-in attendance on a first-come, first-serve basis. Ow
software can record different price points, send automatic check-in and cancellation confirmations, and
manage waitlists.
•
Enrollments and workshops. Enrollments and workshops are pre-registered events or series of classes
with the same group of attendees. Our software offers the ability to set separate pricing outside of pre-
paid packages and track absences, make-ups and various payment plans.
•
Resource scheduling. To effectively manage their day-to-day business, wellness service providers need
to manage and allocate their equipment and facilities. Our software can easily track, manage and
allocate equipment and facilities for the classes and services these businesses provide.
•
Staff Management. With our staff and resource scheduling software features, staff management is easy and
organized. Subscribers keep the whole schedule in one place, allowing them to manage staff availability,
hours, substitutions, commissions and other compensation, all of which is easily linked to payroll records.
The tracking features for hours worked and automatic payroll calculation facilitate efficient and accurate
resource planning for ow subscribers.
99
EFTA00594833
•
Client Relationship Management. With our client relationship management features, subscribers have all
their consumer information in one place and can take advantage of powerful consumer relationship and
marketing tools. Subscribers can securely store their consumers' personal information in a unique profile
and keep track of account, visit and purchase history for more effective service. Our platform also helps
subscribers target new consumers nearby, keep in touch with loyal members, and offer promotions and
discounts to a targeted audience.
•
Integrated Software and Payments. We offer our subscribers payment processing solutions at competitive
rates. The seamless integration between point of sale and payment processing saves our subscribers time by
eliminating the need for error-prone manual reconciliations. In addition, our integrated payments platform
allows for convenient and secure storage of consumer credit card information, which allows for seamless
online bookings, recurring membership payments through our business management software and online
store purchases through Connect.
•
Retail Point of Sale. Our point-of-sale capabilities help subscribers sell products and services, contracts and
memberships, packages, workshops and store-branded gift cards. Our point-of-sale feature tracks product
inventory levels and automatically issues purchase orders when product levels reach a re-order point. In
addition, our point-of-sale capabilities can be used to track the cost of goods sold and gross margin for
various products.
•
Analytics and Reporting. We track key information that subscribers need to know in order to achieve their
business goals, including revenue growth, contribution margin of classes, consumer retention rates, referral
sources, return on investment for consumer retention campaigns and practitioner performance based on
consumer loyalty and reviews by class or type of service. Our platform also generates reports that help our
subscribers allocate their resources, budget effectively and measure their success. By leveraging our
analytics capabilities, subscribers are empowered to make smarter decisions.
Simple and Intuitive User Experience. We designed our business management software with a focus on
developing a visually appealing interface that is simple, easy to use and meets the demands our subscribers
have for modern web and mobile applications. Because we focus on a simple and intuitive user experience,
our software platform requires little training and is easy to adopt for users across the entire organization, an
important feature given the high employee turnover in the wellness services industry. At the same time, the
intuitive interface of our platform is supported by complex underlying technology that powers efficient
business management.
•
Mobility. Our platform enables our subscribers to manage their operations anytime and anywhere via a
number of mobile devices and operating systems, including Mac, iOS, Android and Windows.
•
Dynamic Cloud-Based Architecture. Our software platform is powered by a dynamic cloud-based
architecture that allows our subscribers to manage their operations as efficiently as possible, while requiring
low upfront investment and no maintenance. This architecture allows for automatic software updates and
rapid launch of new product features while also allowing our platform to easily scale with subscribers as
their businesses grow.
•
Security and Compliance. Data security is one of our top priorities. We consistently pass our Level I
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, or PCI DSS, audits, indicating our compliance with the
most rigorous level of credit card security standard available. In addition, we in certain instances collect,
access, use, maintain and/or transmit protected health information in connection with providing services to
subscribers who are subject to the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,
or HIPAA. Our platform is engineered to provide high reliability and availability. Our uptime service-level
agreement (SLA) is 99.90%. We continually monitor our infrastructure for any sign of failure or pending
failure and we take preemptive action to minimize or prevent downtime. We maintain the reliability of our
service by utilizing redundant network infrastructure, clusters that tolerate failure of individual nodes, and
deploying high availability server pairs. We also implement various disaster recovery measures, including
full replication of hardware and data in our geographically distinct data centers, to minimize data loss in the
event of a data center disaster.
100
EFTA00594834
Social Integration. Our platform integrates with popular social networks like Facebook and Twitter,
allowing our subscribers to publish schedules on their Facebook page and enabling consumers to directly
schedule appointments and classes via Facebook.
MINDBODY Connect
A key component of our platform is Connect, our consumer-facing offering. With Connect. consumers have a
unified account to manage all aspects of their wellness activities with a single log in. They can discover local wellness
services using a gealocated map function, view class and appointment descriptions, schedules and real-time
availability, read practitioner biographies and user reviews written by consumers who have actually received the
service, and then book and pay for their desired services in a few taps from their mobile devices. Through Connect.
consumers can also receive appointment reminders and check in to classes before they arrive, receive real-time updates
regarding changes in class schedules and access their account profile to review their class visit and payment history.
MINDBODY Connect Workplace
Our Connect Workplace offering is designed to allow corporate wellness subscribers to encourage healthy habits
for their employees and measure the results. Subscribers to Connect Workplace use our platform to manage on-site
wellness services. incentivize employees to take advantage of the local wellness businesses in our network, and
analyze aggregate employee attendance data. Employers can offer their employees a subsidy — either by providing a
MINDBODY debit card or an electronic direct debit option — to incentivize them to use wellness services. Employers
can also use the Connect Workplace Corporate Dashboard to manage employee accounts, make changes to payment
schedules and amounts, track employee participation to measure engagement either by individual or in the aggregate.
and gain insight into employee preferences. frequency of use and reviews of local wellness businesses. Employees can
search. evaluate, book and pay for services at any "green dot" business available on Connect. Green dot businesses are
subscribers identified as being part of the employer's wellness network and accept an employer-funded subsidy. While
the number of corporate wellness subscribers has been immaterial to date, we believe that as more corporate wellness
subscribers adopt Connect Workplace. their employees will begin using our platform. which will lead to increased
demand from local wellness businesses to be listed on Connect.
Rich Partner Ecosystem
Open Platform for Third-Party Application Development. We have built an open and extensible platform with
an API that offers developers access to our inventory, of classes, payments and scheduling capabilities.
Approved developers can pull information from and post data to our platform and use that capability to create a
variety of unique applications with custom interfaces. For example. some of our partners have leveraged our
platform to create business models that enable wellness businesses to monetize their excess capacity.
Integration With Other Cloud-based Partners. Our platform can be integrated with other cloud-based
software that our subscribers may be using for critical business management tasks to extend the capabilities
of our platform within a variety of focus areas such as automation, marketing, mobile and social.
Key Benefits to Marketplace Constituents
Benefits to Subscribers and Practitioners
Simplify Operations. Our business management software and payments platform allows subscribers and
practitioners to significantly streamline and simplify their operations. MINDBODY automates a large number
of time-consuming workflows, thus dramatically reducing the administrative effort and time subscribers and
their employees have to invest into business operations. The associated time savings enable greater staff
productivity and more efficient allocation of resources, which can result in significant cost savings. Our
subscription-based software is cost effective. We offer different pricing plans that are intended to
accommodate the needs of ow subscribers as they grow and provide full price transparency relative to legacy
vendors by eliminating hidden fees for installation, training, ongoing maintenance or software updates.

EFTA00594835
Focus on Clients. By simplifying the operations of wellness businesses, we enable subscribers and
practitioners to focus on what they love to do — helping their clients achieve their goals, whether it is to lose
weight, learn yoga or dance or reduce pain through acupuncture or chiropractic services. We give
subscribers the freedom to focus on their consumers — and by serving their consumers better, subscribers
can dramatically increase consumer satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, our powerful analytical tools
provide critical insights that help subscribers focus on optimizing their business and achieving their goals.
•
Grow Client Base and Revenue. We help our subscribers increase their consumer base by taking advantage
of a free listing on Connect, which makes them visible to a larger pool of local consumers. Moreover, by
having the ability to send reminders, promotions and special offers to consumers based on a record of their
past interactions, subscribers can significantly increase their consumer engagement and loyalty. We help
subscribers sell their products and services through a variety of channels — an online store, their website or
Connect, thus helping them to increase their revenue. Finally, as our subscribers' businesses grow,
MINDBODY scales with them by providing subscribers an opportunity to upgrade their subscription to
access advanced features and functionality that are well suited to their growing business needs.
Benefits to Consumers
Convenient Single Interface that Addresses Welhress Services Needs for Consumers. We offer consumers a
single platform to easily discover, evaluate and book wellness services for the entire family. Our subscribers
include a large variety of wellness businesses such as fitness studios, yoga, Pilates, massage, salons, spas
and more, to which we provide convenient "one-stop-shop" access through a single searchable interface. By
being able to easily find and compare local wellness services, consumers feel informed and empowered to
choose the services that suit them best. In addition, reviews on our platform can only be written by
consumers who have actually participated in a class or used a service. As a result, consumers are able to
access credible reviews that provide a basis for informed decisions.
Time Savings and Excellent Consumer Experience Lead to Higher Engagement and Achievement of
Wellness Goals. We believe that our platform for seamlessly managing class or appointment bookings,
cancellations, reminders and payments for wellness services from mobile devices saves consumers time that
would otherwise be required to perform online searches, browse through numerous websites and make
phone calls to schedule or manage their desired wellness services. Our ability to allow consumers to more
easily manage their wellness routine and consume more wellness services on a regular basis, increases their
engagement and brings them closer to their goal of living a healthy lifestyle.
Central Database for Wellness Activities Facilitates Fitness Graph Tracking. New technologies, including
wearable fitness trackers provided by third parties and mobile apps within the health and fitness categories,
are enabling consumers to track various aspects of their health and fitness. As part of this trend, Connect
offers consumers a powerful way to track their fitness graph. On Connect, consumers can access their
wellness activity history, such as class attendance frequency. class duration and more, thus providing
valuable intelligence that empowers them to adjust their activities to meet their individual goals.
Benefits to Employers
•
Empower Employees and Offer Chokes. Connect Workplace enables employees to access a wide variety of
wellness services that can be subsidized by their employers. Employees are not limited to on-site services or
receiving a subsidy at a local gym that has little appeal. With the wide variety of wellness businesses on our
platform, employees have the freedom to select from a broad range of wellness services to fulfill their health
and fitness objectives.
•
Analyze Engagement and Effectiveness. The Connect Workplace Corporate Dashboard enables employers to
gain insights into employee engagement and aggregate usage of corporate incentives for further analysis.
We believe ow Connect Workplace offering helps employees live healthier, happier and more productive
lives, while enabling employers to reap greater staff productivity, lower attrition and reduced healthcare
costs.

Market Opportunity
According to IBISWorld, in 2014, the total revenue of gyms, health and fitness clubs in the United States
was expected to reach $26.5 billion, and the U.S. salon market, consisting of haircutting services, hair coloring
services, nail care services, skin care services and other services, was expected to reach $50.2 billion. The global
markets for these services are significantly larger. In addition, the U.S. corporate wellness services market was
expected to reach $7.4 billion in 2014, according to IBISWorld. According to a report that we commissioned
from Frost and Sullivan, our addressable market is approximately 4.2 million wellness businesses worldwide.
Based on their analysis, Frost and Sullivan estimates that the market for business management software solutions
targeted at wellness businesses will grow to $9.5 billion in 2015 and expects this market to grow to $15.3 billion
in 2018, which implies a 17.1% CAGR. In addition, we believe there are a significant number of individual
practitioners worldwide who are not included in the 4.2 million addressable market estimate and can benefit from
our business management software and payments platform. With over 42.000 local business subscribers, we
estimate our current market penetration to be less than 1%. While we expect competition in the industry to
increase and evolve over time, given our market leadership, we believe that we are well positioned to compete
for and capture a significant portion of global software and payments spending in the wellness services industry.
Our Competitive Strengths
The Leading Online Wellness Services Marketplace. We are the leading online wellness services
marketplace with over 42,000 local business subscribers on our platform in 124 countries and territories
employing over 250,000 practitioners who provide a variety of wellness services to over 24 million active
consumers. Due to our unmatched global wellness network, Connect has become the go-to destination for
consumers to manage their wellness services activities. We are also a leading payments platform dedicated to the
wellness services industry. In the 12 months ended March 31, 2015, $6.3 billion in transactions occurred between
consumers and subscribers within our marketplace, of which $4.3 billion flowed through our payments platform.
Industry-Specific Expertise. We focus exclusively on the wellness services industry. Our team of experts
understands the detailed workflows and needs of each type of business within the wellness services industry, and
has designed our integrated cloud-based business management software and payments platform specifically to
address the unique requirements of these businesses. In addition, we host MINDBODY University events, client
conferences and webinars to help business owners navigate challenges and opportunities specific to their
wellness category, optimize their business operations and maximize their profitability. Broad based solutions that
do not focus on a particular industry lack the depth of understanding and functionality necessary to be able to
meet the unique demands of wellness businesses.
Powerful Network Effects. As more local wellness businesses use our platform, more subscriber listings
appear on Connect. A larger critical mass of local wellness services on Connect attracts more consumers, which
in turn attracts more local wellness businesses that want to engage with these consumers, thereby creating
powerful network effects that benefit the entire ecosystem. Similarly, as more corporate wellness subscribers
adopt Connect Workplace, their employees begin using our platform, which leads to increased demand from
local wellness businesses to be listed on Connect. As more local wellness businesses appear on Connect, more
employees use our platform to redeem their corporate incentives, which in turn leads to more corporate wellness
subscribers being attracted to our platform. Finally, as we add more subscribers, consumers and employees to our
wellness ecosystem, we attract more technology developers and partners who can use our API to develop
additional applications that extend the capabilities of our open platform.

Integrated Cloud-Based Business Management Software and Payments Platform. The seamless
integration between our business management software and payments platform provides a convenient one-stop
solution for our subscribers. Subscribers save time and resources by avoiding the use of a separate payments
platform and the associated burdensome manual reconciliations of transactions that result from a lack of
automation. We believe that this integrated software and payments capability leads to higher subscriber
engagement with our platform and a larger recurring revenue stream for us. Our payments platform enables
swiped transactions at the front desk between consumers and subscribers, transactions with securely stored credit
card data and ecommerce transactions through web and mobile interfaces. This integrated capability vastly
simplifies back office administration and accounting, while enabling our subscribers to boost their revenue.
Ability to Scale with Our Subscribers' Businesses. Our feature-rich software scales from individual
practitioners to large, international organizations that have hundreds of locations. It is possible for an
independent mobile practitioner starting her small business to begin with our entry level software, upgrade to our
more robust offerings as she opens her first brick-and-mortar location, then add locations and ultimately create a
substantial chain on our platform. This type of inspirational story has happened many times.
Critical Position in the We//Hess Ecosystem. Over 42,000 wellness businesses use our platform to manage
their business operations. attract and engage consumers, boost their revenue and focus on what they love to do. At
the same time, we have enabled a rich partner ecosystem of over 600 developers and partners who extend the value
of our platform in powerful ways. Many of our partners have also built successful businesses, or have significantly
expanded their existing businesses, to cater to ow subscribers and consumers via our platform. For example, some
partners have developed business models that depend on ow real-time inventory of classes and appointments to
enable health and fitness businesses to monetize their excess capacity, while providing consumers with greater
access to a variety of classes. We believe the time, effort and dollars spent by these businesses to integrate with ow
platform point to the critical position that MINDBODY has established in the ecosystem.
Proprietary Data and Analytics. Our software and payments platform collects and presents critical
information that enables subscribers to fine tune their business operations. With our software, subscribers can
analyze their consumer data, including demographics, type and frequency of activities and spending habits. In
addition, we help subscribers assess the performance of their staff. For example, a subscriber can run client
104
EFTA00594838
retention statistics to determine the effectiveness of a specific practitioner based upon location or types of
services delivered. We also have unique insights into anonymized macro level data that indicate global
preferences and trends in the wellness services industry by geography, which informs our business decisions. In
addition, we collect and display consumer reviews to both subscribers and consumers. This enables consumers to
make more informed buying decisions and helps our subscribers improve their businesses. Since only consumers
who have purchased and attended a class or appointment can write a review, consumers rely on us for authentic
and informative consumer review data. Due to our market leadership position, we have access to more
proprietary data than our competitors in the wellness services industry, which helps us improve our platform and
offer us the ability to provide unique insights and analytical capabilities.
Exceptional Company Culture that Drives Performance. The MINDBODY team shares an exceptional
company culture that incorporates our core values of being purpose driven, humble and helpful, caring and
happy, committed to wellness, environmentally conscious, continuously evolving and committed to "Five C"
leadership. We believe that each team member may practice leadership, daily, regardless of position or title, and
we promote people who best demonstrate:
•
Competence — they make the effort to be true experts in what they do.
•
Character — they do the right thing, even when it is not convenient.
•
Compassion — they care as much about others as they do about themselves.
•
Catalyst — they remove obstacles and make things happen.
•
Courage — they stand up for what they believe in and take responsibility for their team.
Our employees thrive in a nurturing environment that is driven by innovation, passion for health and
wellness and dedication towards excellent subscriber experience. According to a report from Mashable based on
data from Glassdoor in December 2014, MINDBODY has been named one of the "Top 10 Best Tech Companies
To Work For in 2015." In addition, Outside Magazine has named MINDBODY one of America's best places to
work for two years in a row. We believe our culture gives us a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining
talent, driving innovation, enhancing productivity and improving customer experience.
Growth Strategy
Given the increasing demand for wellness services among consumers today and a largely untapped market,
we believe our opportunity is significant and growing. Key elements of our growth strategy include:
Continuing to Expand Our Subscriber Base, both Domestically and Internationally. We believe the global
market for a cloud•based business management and payments platform within the wellness services industry is
large and underserved. We will continue to make investments in our business to acquire more subscribers and
expand our reach, both domestically and internationally.
Deepening Relationships with Existing Subscribers. We intend to deepen our relationships with existing
subscribers by offering additional value-added functionality and upselling subscription plans that mirror the
growth stage of their businesses. Moreover, we plan to convert more of our existing subscribers to our integrated
payments capability and increase the percentage of their revenue that flows through our platform.
Growing Consumer Adoption of MINDBODY Connect. Connect has a critical position in our wellness
ecosystem, yielding powerful network effects with increasing adoption among consumers. We are focused on
attracting more consumers to our platform through word of mouth, referral marketing programs, social media and
embedded community building features in Connect.
Continuing to Innovate and Broaden Our Platform. We will continue to make significant investments in
research and development to strengthen our technology platform, and develop additional functionality to better
serve the needs of subscribers and consumers, while striving to provide the best user experience possible.
105
EFTA00594839
Further Developing Our Partnerships and Wellness Ecosystem. Through our numerous partners and
developers who build third•party applications on our platform, we have built a flourishing ecosystem that creates
value for subscribers and partners. We plan to continue to expand and further monetize our ecosystem by further
developing existing strategic relationships and building new ones.
Increasing Our Presence in Corporate Wellness. We believe our Connect Workplace offering is well
positioned to boost the success of corporate wellness programs worldwide. We plan to increase our subscriber
footprint in corporate wellness and leverage these corporate relationships to further drive subscriber growth and
Connect consumer engagement.
Making Strategic Investments and Select Acquisitions. We will continue to enhance our technology,
accelerate our network effect and expand our leadership position by pursuing acquisitions of complementary
businesses, technologies and teams.
Expanding Our International Reach via Partnerships and Investments in Our Salesforce. We are focused
on growing our international offices and establishing partnerships that extend our reach and facilitate our
entrance into new markets, in particular in Europe, Latin America and selected countries in Asia Pacific.

Software and Payments Platform for Subscribers
Our integrated clouchbased business management software and payments platform for the wellness services
industry helps our subscribers simplify the way they run their businesses, attract and engage more consumers, boost
their revenues, and focus more on what they love to do — improve people's lives. Until the end of 2014, our software
subscription pricing was based on the number of professionals employed by our subscribers. However, because each of
our subscribers is unique and at a different stage of their respective professional journey, in January 2015. we
107
EFTA00594841
introduced a new tiered pricing model based upon four software functionality levels—Solo, Grow, Pro and Accelerate.
Each of these levels has been carefully crafted to give just the functionality needed for subscribers to optimize their
business at their respective stage in the journey. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, revenue from our new
tiered pricing model did not constitute a material portion of our total revenue.

well as operational efficiencies that allow them to focus more on delivering an exceptional experience to their
customers. As a result, our subscribers benefit from an increase in consumer satisfaction, consumer retention,
revenue and profitability.
Case Studies
We believe that the following case studies are representative examples of how our subscribers have
benefited from our platform:
Cutler Salons
Situation: In 2011, Cutler Salons had three locations in New York City and one in Miami. Each location
operated as a separate entity, which made remote management of the salons as a group incredibly difficult and
time consuming for Cutler's general manager. To run a report on any given salon, book an appointment or view
client files, the general manager had to log in to each location's server, pull the desired information, email it to
himself and print it out to review. Cutler needed to link all of their locations together under a centralized
management system.
Solution and benefits: After serving as the flagship beta tester for a competing management system. Cutler's
general manager chose to implement our platform across all of their locations. Our platform's multi-location
113
EFTA00594847
functionality and capabilities are able to adapt with the salon as it grows, adding new locations that can all be
managed remotely. Previously, to add a new location, the manager had to request that a new client list and
management system be created for each salon. Now, adding a location is just a matter of a few clicks in the
software, with client lists and management preferences automatically transferred to the new location. In addition,
performance metrics for each location can be viewed from anywhere, online or via the Express app, all in real
time.
Our platform has made the client experience at Cutler more convenient as well. Stylists are able to access
client notes from a master database that isn't tied to one location, making it possible for them to work at any
Cutler salon. Each stylist's clientele can schedule an appointment with them at whichever location best suits their
schedule. Customized email marketing through our platform also helps Cutler cut back on no-shows with
automated email reminders, contributing to over 88% of clients showing up for their appointments. Cutler
encourages return visits with incentive emails, contributing to a 52% client retention rate in 2014, which we
believe is significantly higher than the salon industry average. Cutler has added a fourth location in New York
since adopting our platform and did away with the front desk entirely at another, in favor of a fully mobile check
in and check out experience. enabled by ow Express app.
Orangetheory Fitness
Situation: In 2009. Orangetheory Fitness was just one gym looking to expand fast into a global franchise
with over 200 locations. The chain's primary service is quite simple: a workout regimen that includes intervals of
cardio and weight lifting designed around a participant's monitored heart rate, making the program safe for
athletes of all levels. Rapid growth for a chain this big requires software that can scale just as rapidly.
accommodating cross•regional needs and providing robust membership management and reporting features.
Solution and benefits: Orangetheory Fitness has used our platform since the beginning. Today the chain has
over 220 locations in 41 states and 5 countries, all operating on the MINDBODY platform. To manage growth at
this scale, the chain utilizes our API to create a customized corporate dashboard with unique reports that track the
health of the business's entire network, from sales and franchise royalties to conversion rates and membership
terminations. These reports inform key management decisions at the highest level, helping the chain sustain rapid
expansion that continues to drive impressive revenue growth, up 204% in 2014 from 2013.
Orangetheory also uses our platform to manage its payroll and class and instructor schedules, supporting
hundreds of employees worldwide. Once a member, an athlete can visit any Orangetheory location, booking
classes online via the chain's main website or the Connect app. In 2014, 55% of all Orangetheory class bookings
came from MINDBODY's consumer web and mobile booking capability. In addition, with a majority of
members enrolled in automatic monthly memberships via MINDBODY's payments platform, recurring revenue
accounted for 87% of the chain's total revenue in 2014.
Crowdflower
Situation: Crowdflower, a crowd•sourced data mining and enrichment platform, operates out of San
Francisco and competes with other high-tech companies in the area for top talent. Prior to implementing Connect
Workplace, Crowdflower's benefits package included traditional insurance benefits but little else to demonstrate
the company's commitment to employee wellness and work•life balance.
Solution and benefits: With Connect Workplace, Crowdflower is able to demonstrate to its current and
potential employees its commitment to the well-being of each employee. Each employee receives a monthly
wellness subsidy of $50 to spend at any wellness business in the MINDBODY wellness marketplace, redeemable
through his or her MINDBODY Card. Employees can use the Connect app to find local businesses that accept
their card, and use the app to book and pay for eligible services. Crowdflower has also brought a massage
therapist from the MINDBODY wellness marketplace onsite who accepts payments through the MINDBODY
card.
114
EFTA00594848
Crowdflower's Human Resources staff can track subsidy usage and identify popular activities and
businesses through the Connect Workplace dashboard, providing them with valuable insight into the return on
investment of their wellness program. Rather than purchasing monthly memberships to the local gym, Connect
Workplace allows Crowdflower to offer its employees choice when it comes to their preferred method for staying
healthy—whether that's acupuncture, massage, yoga, indoor cycling, CrossFit, bane, martial arts, Pilates or Tai
Chi. Moreover, because the MINDBODY marketplace is worldwide, employees are able to use their wellness
benefits at home or while traveling.
Black Label Yoga
Situation: Black Label Yoga, a studio located in Gladbeck, Germany, is owned and operated by husband and
wife team, Michael and Nina Klumpp. When they opened their studio in April 2013, the owners knew they
needed a business management solution that could do everything they needed to run their business: class
scheduling, online booking, sales reporting, automated payment processing and client management. They also
wanted a retail point-of-sale system that would allow them to sell their line of organic clothing both in-studio and
online.
Solution and benefits: We make Black Label Yoga's class schedule accessible online via the studio's
website and on mobile devices using the Connect app. These online and mobile sites make it possible for
consumers to book a class at any time of day or night—and the studio's clientele appreciate the convenience:
45% of total class bookings in 2014 came through online sites or mobile devices. The owners also use our
platform's client management tools (e.g., client notes and customized email marketing) to better communicate
with their clients, which contributed to a 55% client retention rate in 2014, which we believe is significantly
higher than the industry average.
The owners use a reporting dashboard within our platform to track sales trends, best performing pricing
points and inventory, as well as attendance and class popularity. They can view many of these reports on the
Express app—allowing them to check in on the health of their business while away from the studio. The ability
to analyze sales has allowed the owners to make more informed business decisions about what price points to set,
what classes to offer and when. In addition, by using our payments platform to implement automatic payments
for monthly dues, Black Label Yoga benefits from a steady and reliable cash flow that contributed to a 140%
increase in total revenue for 2014 compared to 2013, with 46% of that revenue coming from recurring payments.
Avalon School of Musk
Situation: The Avalon School of Music in Orlando, Florida serves approximately 800 students with a staff
of nearly 60 across three separate locations. The school offers students a variety of services, including music
lessons for over twenty instruments, voice lessons, instrument rentals, DJ lessons, piano tuning and studio
recording. When the school opened, the owners (a father and son team) used spreadsheets and a combination of
other programs to track student dues and class usage, and to manage teacher pay and class schedules. This
disjointed system made it difficult to track student payments and the number of classes each student had already
taken. The school's rapid growth from roughly 50 to 200 students in just two months also demonstrated that this
system could not effectively scale with the business.
Solution and benefits: With our platform, Avalon students and staff can easily go online to view their
schedules and track the number of lessons taken. New students are encouraged to enroll in automated payments,
which provide stable revenue and eliminate the need to manually track the status of any given student's
payments. This recurring revenue accounted for 82% of Avalon's total revenue in 2014.
In addition, with our payments platform, alerts are automatically sent to students when their credit cards are
about to expire, and students are automatically rebilled if initial transactions are not successful. This automation
streamlines a number of time-consuming management tasks, eliminates the need to track down payments and
provides seamless convenience for students—contributing to Avalon's 47% retention rate in 2014, which we
believe is significantly higher than the music industry average.

Savvi Skin & Body Studio
Situation: When Savvi Skin & Body Studio opened in San Luis Obispo, CA in 2007, the owner took
appointments over the phone, recording them in an appointment book. Much of her time was spent on the phone
scheduling and confirming or rescheduling appointments. This made it difficult to find the time to track sales,
inventory and client information (all by hand) while also performing the services her clients were paying for:
facials, massage, lash extensions, spray tans, body scrubs, etc.
Solution and benefits: Since 2008, our platform has helped to streamline these day-to-day activities for
Savvi, eliminating almost entirely the time spent scheduling appointments over the phone that plagued the owner
in her early days. With online booking, Savvi's clients can view her schedule and book and pay for appointments
straight from the studio's website or Facebook page. This helps to keep her schedule full, contributing to the 28%
increase in revenue Savvi enjoyed in 2014 compared to 2013.
Client management and communication is also easier with a system that links every client's purchase
history and service preference to his or her profile where owner and staff can also track special occasions like
birthdays and anniversaries. Savvi uses our email marketing tools to delight clients by automatically sending
emails with special promotions to encourage them to celebrate their milestones with a visit to Savvi.
The studio's owner attributes the growth of her business to her use of MINDBODY's business management
software, which helps her maintain continuous contact with her clients. In 2014, Savvi utilized the client data
stored on our platform to better target email campaigns to specific client groups, promoting memberships,
holiday gift cards, products or services based on a client's past history. This has allowed Savvi to better target its
marketing efforts and continue to grow its revenue.
Savvi also started a membership program in 2014 to stabilize revenue, implementing an automatic payment
model for the first time via MINDBODY's payments platform, which now represents nearly 5% of Savvi's total
revenue. That same year, Savvi became a practitioner within the MINDBODY Connect Workplace network.
Participation in area wellness programs through this program has made it possible for the studio to reach more
people in the local community. In addition, the Connect app has brought more visibility to Savvi among out-of-
town visitors and made Savvi's services more convenient to existing clients.
Our Culture and Employees
Our company and employees share an exceptional corporate culture that incorporates our core values of
being purpose driven, humble and helpful, caring and happy, committed to wellness, environmentally conscious,
continuously evolving and committed to "Five C" leadership. We believe that each team member may practice
leadership, daily, regardless of position or title, and we promote people who best demonstrate:
•
Competence — they make the effort to be true experts in what they do.
•
Character — they do the right thing, even when it is not convenient.
•
Compassion — they care as much about others as they do about themselves.
•
Catalyst — they remove obstacles and make things happen.
•
Courage — they stand up for what they believe in and take responsibility for their team.
Our employees thrive in a nurturing environment that is driven by innovation, passion for health and
wellness and dedication towards excellent subscriber experience. According to a report from Mashablc based on
data from Glassdoor in December 2014, MINDBODY has been named one of the `Top 10 Best Tech Companies
To Work For in 2015." In addition, Outside Magazine has named MINDBODY one of America's best places to
work for two years in a row. We believe our culture gives us a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining
talent, driving innovation, enhancing productivity and improving customer experience.
116
EFTA00594850
As of December 31. 2014 and March 31, 2015, we had 1,035 and 1,100 employees, respectively. None of
ow employees is represented by a labor organization or is a party to any collective bargaining arrangement. We
have never had a work stoppage, and we consider our relationship with ow employees to be good.
Competition
The market for business management software and payments solutions for wellness businesses is highly
competitive, fragmented and rapidly evolving due to technological innovations. We believe our competitors fall
into the following primary categories:
•
On-premise software providers and small cloud-based providers that typically focus on a specific
vertical like salon or spa and not the full breadth of wellness services: and
•
Cloud-based software providers that offer generic scheduling and point-of sale capabilities like Intuit
and payments providers with basic scheduling tools like Square.
The principal competitive factors in our market include:
•
Industry expertise
•
Depth of product functionality
•
Brand recognition and reputation
•
Ability to drive consumer demand via a large and rapidly growing consumer network
•
24/7 customer service
•
Product extensibility via APIs
•
Integration with mobile devices
•
Integration with payments processing
•
Marketing capabilities and analytics
•
Strong company culture
•
Security and reliability
•
Global presence
We believe that we compete favorably on the factors described above. However, many of our competitors
have greater financial, technical and other resources, greater name recognition and larger sales and marketing
budgets, therefore we may not always compare favorably with respect to some or all of the factors above.
Sales and Marketing
We deploy a direct sales approach driven by an inside sales team based in San Luis Obispo, California. East
Hampton, New York, London, United Kingdom, and Sydney, Australia. Our sales team qualifies and manages
prospective and current subscribers, aiming to initiate, retain, and expand their use of our platform over time. Our
sales team partners with sales engineers to provide consultation and product demonstration to prospects to
accelerate the onboarding of new subscribers.
Since the introduction of Connect Workplace, we have begun to develop and expand a field sales team
responsible for discovery, qualification, and account management for larger organizations.
Our marketing efforts are focused on generating awareness of our platform, creating sales leads, establishing
and promoting our brand, and cultivating a community of successful and vocal subscribers and consumers. We
utilize both online and offline marketing initiatives, including search engine and email marketing, online display
and print advertising, participation in trade shows, events and conferences, permission marketing. social media
and media outreach, and strategic partnerships and endorsements.
117
EFTA00594851
Our sales prospecting, lead qualification and lead development functions are performed by sales associates.
the majority of whom work part-time schedules. Our full-time equivalent sales and marketing headcount as of
December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 was 319 and 340. respectively. Our sales and marketing expenses were
$21.0 million, $30.9 million, $7.2 million and $9.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014. and
for the three months ended March 31.2014 and 2015, respectively.
Research and Development
Our research and development organization is responsible for the ideation, research, design, development
and testing of all aspects of our platform. To create a roadmap that meets the needs of our subscribers, we
emphasize collaboration during the development process. Subscribers provide direct input through dialog with
our customer support. product management, and user experience teams, as well as our community forum and
feature utilization data. We deploy new features, functionality, and technologies for our platform through
monthly software releases or updates to minimize disruption and deliver continuous improvement.
As of December 31. 2014 and March 31. 2015, we had 168 and 182 employees, respectively, in ow research
and development organization. which is based in San Luis Obispo, California. Our research and development
expenses were $3.7 million, $10.5 million. $16.2 million, $3.6 million and $4.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws, a variety of contractual
arrangements, such as license agreements, assignment agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure
agreements, and confidentiality procedures and technical measures to gain rights to and protect the intellectual
property used in our business.
We have also developed a patent program and a strategy to identify, apply for, and secure patents for
innovative aspects of our platform and technology. We have II U.S. patent applications pending. We also have
five pending patent applications in jurisdictions outside of the United States. We intend to pursue additional
patent protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost-effective.
We actively pursue registration of our trademarks, logos, service marks, and domain names in the United
States and in other key jurisdictions. We are the registered holder of a variety of U.S. and international domain
names that include the term MINDBODY and similar variations. We use several trademarks for our products and
services, including "MINDBODY," "Connect," "Connect Workplace" and several logos and images, such as the
Enso logo, as well as the slogan "Love Your Business."
We also rely on certain intellectual property rights that we license from third parties, including under certain
open source licenses. Though such third-party technologies may not continue to be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms, we believe that alternative technologies would be available to us if needed.
Our policy is to require employees and independent contractors to sign agreements assigning to us any
inventions, trade secrets, works of authorship, developments and other processes generated by them on our behalf
and agreeing to protect our confidential information. All of our key employees and contractors have done so. In
addition, we generally enter into confidentiality agreements with our vendors and subscribers. We also control
and monitor access to, and distribution of our software, documentation, and other proprietary information.
Despite our precautions, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy our products and use
information that we regard as proprietary to create products and services that compete with ours.
118
EFTA00594852
Some license provisions protecting against unauthorized use, copying, transfer and disclosures of our
products may be unenforceable under the laws of certain jurisdictions and foreign countries. In addition, the laws
of some countries do not protect proprietary rights to as great of an extent as the laws of the United States, and
many foreign countries do not enforce these laws as diligently as government agencies and private parties in the
United States. To the extent that we expand our international activities, our exposure to unauthorized copying
and use of our products and misappropriation of our proprietary information may increase.
We expect that software and other solutions in our industry may be increasingly subject to third•party
infringement claims as the number of competitors grows and the functionality of products in different industry
segments overlap.
Government Regulation
Our business is subject to extensive, complex and rapidly changing federal and state laws and regulations.
HIPAA, Privacy and Data Security Regulations
In connection with providing online scheduling services for certain subscribers, we may be subject to
specific compliance obligations under privacy and data security laws, including but not limited to the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, or HIPAA, and similar state laws that govern the
collection, use, protection, and disclosure of personally identifiable information. HIPAA imposes specific
requirements regarding data privacy and security on covered entities (providers, health plans, and health care
clearinghouses); business associates (entities that may perform services for covered entities, pursuant to which
they may access personal information); and business associates' subcontractors, including us. We are therefore
required to adopt certain practices and enter into certain contracts agreeing to protect personal information in
specific ways. There may be civil and criminal penalties, as well as contractual ramifications, for violating
HIPAA.
Facilities
Our corporate headquarters are located in San Luis Obispo. California. where we operate under various
leases for an aggregate of approximately 170,000 square feet of space. These leases expire between January 2017
and June 2030.
We also lease office space in New York. the United Kingdom and Australia. We lease all of our facilities
and do not own any real property. We intend to procure additional space as we add employees and expand
geographically. We believe our facilities are adequate and suitable for our current needs and that, should it be
needed, suitable additional or alternative space will be available to accommodate any such expansion of our
operations.
Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business.
We may in the future receive claims from third parties asserting, among other things, infringement of their
intellectual property rights. Future litigation may be necessary to defend ourselves, our partners and our
subscribers by determining the scope, enforceability and validity of third•party proprietary rights, or to establish
our proprietary rights. The results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and
regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs,
diversion of management resources, and other factors.

The Class III directors will be Katherine Blair Christie, Graham Smith and Richard L. Stollmcycr. and
their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018.
Each director's term will continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or his or her
earlier death, resignation or removal. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed
among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of our directors.
This classification of our board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control
of our company.
Director Independence
Our board of directors has undertaken a review of the independence of each director. Based on information
provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, our board of directors
has determined that Katherine Blair Christie, Jeremy Levine. Eric Liaw, Tyler Newton and Graham Smith do not
have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the
responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is "independent" as that term is defined under the
listing standards of the NASDAQ Stock Market. In making these determinations, ow board of directors
considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our company and all
other facts and circumstances ow board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence,
including the beneficial ownership of ow capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions
involving them described in the section titled "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."
Lead Independent Director
Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors intends to adopt corporate governance
guidelines that will provide that one of our independent directors will serve as our Lead Independent Director at
any time when our Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chairman of our board of directors or if the Chairman is
not otherwise independent. Because Richard L. Stollmeyer is our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, our
board of directors has appointed Graham Smith to serve as our Lead Independent Director. As Lead Independent
Director, Mr. Smith will preside over periodic meetings of our independent directors, serve as a liaison between
our Chairman and our independent directors and perform such additional duties as our board of directors may
otherwise determine and delegate.

Outside Director Compensation Policy
On May 22, 2015, our board of directors adopted our Outside Director Compensation Policy. Members of

Under our Outside Director Compensation Policy, outside directors will receive compensation in the form of

EFTA00594860
Equity Compensation
Non-employee directors are eligible to receive all types of equity awards (except incentive stock options)
under our 2015 Plan, including discretionary awards not covered under our Outside Director Compensation
Policy. All grants of awards under our Outside Director Compensation Policy will be automatic and non-
discretionary.
Upon joining our board, and beginning with our first annual meeting of our stockholders following the
effectiveness of our Outside Director Compensation Policy, each newly-elected non•employee director will
receive an initial equity award, or the initial award, under our 2015 Plan with a value of $350,000. This award
will vest in approximately equal installments annually over a four-year period, subject to continued service
through each vesting date. The initial award will be in the form of restricted stock units, unless otherwise
determined by our board of directors or our compensation committee.
On the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders following the effective date of our Outside Director
Compensation Policy, each non-employee director who is continuing as a director following the applicable
meeting will be granted an annual equity award, or the annual award, or a pro-rated annual award under our 2015
Plan with a value of $180,000. If the non-employee director had not been a non•employee director as of the
previous annual meeting of our stockholders, then the annual award will be pro-rated based on the number of
months served as a non-employee director for the previous year. Each annual award will fully vest on the earlier
to occur of: (i) the day prior to the next annual meeting following the date of grant or (ii) the first anniversary of
the grant date, in each case, subject to continued service through the vesting date. The annual award will be in the
form of restricted stock units, unless otherwise determined by our board of directors or our compensation
committee.
For purposes of our Outside Director Compensation Policy, value means generally (x) with respect to any
award of restricted stock units, the fair market value of the shares on the grant date of the award, or (y) with
respect to a stock option, the grant date fair value calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718.
Notwithstanding the vesting schedules described above, the vesting of all equity awards granted to a non-
employee director, including any award granted outside of our Outside Director Compensation Policy, will vest
in full upon a "change in control" (as defined in our 2015 Plan) if the non-employee director's service as a
director terminates on or following the change in control other than pursuant to a voluntary resignation.
As described in "Executive Compensation—Employee Benefit and Stock Plans" below, our 2015 Plan
contains maximum limits, which will be approved by our stockholders prior to the 2015 Plan becoming effective,
on the size of the equity awards that can be granted to each of our non•employee directors in any fiscal year, but
those maximum limits do not reflect the intended size of any potential grants or a commitment to make any
equity award grants to our non•employee directors in the future.

Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation
Our compensation committee has adopted our Executive Bonus Plan. See the disclosure under "Executive
Bonus Plan" for a description of this plan.
2014 Performance Targets under our Executive Bonus Plan
For 2014, our compensation committee approved the performance targets under our Executive Bonus Plan
for Richard L. Stollmeyer, Robert Murphy and Kimberly Lytikainen. Incentives under our Executive Bonus Plan
were payable based on our achievement of targets related to certain performance metrics, including revenue
growth, sales efficiency, certain subscriber-related measures and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Subject to achieving the applicable performance targets, each participant was eligible to receive a
target incentive payment. For 2014, the target incentive was $130,000 for each of Messrs. Stollmeyer and
Murphy and $25,000 for Ms. Lytikainen. For Messrs. Stollmeyer and Murphy, half of the target incentive was to
be paid in equal installments on a quarterly basis during the year, subject to the achievement of the applicable
quarterly performance targets. The other half of the target incentive was to be payable at the end of the year,
subject to the achievement of the applicable annual performance targets. For Ms. Lytikainen, the target incentive
was to be paid in equal installments over the last two quarters of the year. Performance in excess of the
performance targets was to result in payments in excess of the target incentive, subject to a cap of 200% of the
target incentive. During 2014, we achieved the performance targets at a level that triggered the payments set
forth in the Summary Compensation Table under the column "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation."

Employee Benefit and Stock Plans
2015 Equity Incentive Plan
In June 2015, our board of directors adopted and our stockholders approved our 2015 Plan. Our 2015 Plan
will be effective one business day prior to the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus
forms a part but is not expected to be utilized until after the completion of this offering. Our 2015 Plan will
provide for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to our employees
and any parent and subsidiary corporations' employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, restricted
stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units and performance shares to our
employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations' employees and consultants.
Authorized Shares. A total of (i) 4,698,818 shares of our Class A common stock will be reserved for
issuance pursuant to ow 2015 Plan plus (ii) shares of our Class B common stock returned to our 2009 Plan as the
result of expiration or termination of awards after the effective date of the registration statement of which this
prospectus forms a part (provided that the maximum number of shares that may be added to our 2015 Plan
pursuant to (ii) is 4,439,615 shares). Any such shares under the provision above that had covered shares under
our 2009 Plan as shares of Class B common stock will, under our 2015 Plan, become issuable instead as Class A
132

common stock on a one•for•one basis. The number of shams available for issuance under our 2015 Plan will also
include an annual increase on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2016, equal to the least of:
•
3,915,682 shares;
•
5% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal
year; or
•
such other amount as our board of directors or compensation committee may determine.
Plan Administration. Our board of directors or one or more committees appointed by our board of directors,
will administer our 2015 Plan. We currently anticipate that our board of directors will delegate authority to
administer the 2015 Plan to our compensation committee, which will have full but non-exclusive authority to
administer and interpret the terms of the 2015 Plan. In the case of awards intended to qualify as "performance-
based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, our compensation committee will
consist of two or more "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. In addition, if we
determine it is desirable to qualify transactions under our 2015 Plan as exempt under Rule 166.3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. as amended, or Rule 16b-3, such transactions will be structured to satisfy the
requirements for exemption under Rule 16b•3. Subject to the provisions of our 2015 Plan, the administrator will
have the power to administer the plan, including but not limited to, the power to interpret the terms of the 2015
Plan and awards granted thereunder, to create, amend and revoke rules relating to our 2015 Plan, including
creating sub•plans, and to determine the terms of the awards, including the exercise price, the number of shares
subject to each such award, the exercisability of the awards, and the form of consideration, if any, payable upon
exercise. The administrator will also have the authority to amend existing awards to reduce or increase their
exercise price, to allow participants the opportunity to transfer outstanding awards to a financial institution or
other person or entity selected by the administrator, and to institute an exchange program by which outstanding
awards may be surrendered in exchange for awards of the same type. which may have a higher or lower exercise
price or different terms, awards of a different type and/or cash.
Stock Options. Stock options may be granted under our 2015 Plan. The exercise price of options granted
under our 2015 Plan must at least be equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the date of
grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed 10 years. except that with respect to any participant
who owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of our outstanding stock, the term must not exceed
five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value on the grant date. The
administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash.
shares or other property acceptable to the administrator, as well as other types of consideration permitted by
applicable law. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, he or she may exercise his
or her option for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death
or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain
exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be
exercised after the expiration of its term. Subject to the provisions of our 2015 Plan, the administrator determines
the other terms of options.
Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock appreciation rights may be granted under our 2015 Plan. Stock
appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of our Class A common
stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may not have a term exceeding
10 years. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, he or she may exercise his or
her stock appreciation right for the period of time stated in his or her stock appreciation right agreement.
However, in no event may a stock appreciation right be exercised after the expiration of its term. Subject to the
provisions of our 2015 Plan, the administrator determines the other terms of stock appreciation rights, including
when such rights become exercisable and whether to pay any increased appreciation in cash or with shares of our
common stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to be issued
pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share
on the date of grant.

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted under our 2015 Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of
shares of our common stock that vest in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator.
The administrator will determine the number of shares of restricted stock granted to any employee, director or
consultant and, subject to the provisions of our 2015 Plan, will determine the terms and conditions of such
awards. The administrator may impose whatever conditions to vesting it determines to be appropriate. For
example, the administrator may set restrictions based on the achievement of specific performance goals or
continued service to us; provided, however, that the administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time
at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have
voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the
administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest are subject to our right of repurchase
or forfeiture.
Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units may be granted under our 2015 Plan. Restricted stock units are
bookkeeping entries representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of our Class A common
stock. Subject to the provisions of our 2015 Plan, the administrator will determine the terms and conditions of
restricted stock units, including the vesting criteria, which may include accomplishing specified performance
criteria or continued service to us, and the form and timing of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.
Performance Units and Performance Shares. Performance units and performance shares may be granted
under our 2015 Plan. Performance units and performance shares arc awards that will result in a payment to a
participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards othenvise vest
The administrator will establish organizational or individual performance goals or other vesting criteria in its
discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and the value of
performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants. After the grant of a performance unit or
performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance criteria or
other vesting provisions for such performance unit or performance share. Performance units shall have an initial
dollar value established by the administrator prior to the grant date. Performance shares shall have an initial value
equal to the fair market value of our Class A common stock on the grant date. The administrator, in its sole
discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares or in some
combination thereof.
Outside Directors. Our 2015 Plan will provide that all non-employee directors will be eligible to receive all
types of awards, except for incentive stock options, under our 2015 Plan. During any fiscal year, a non-employee
director may not be granted (1) cash-settled awards with a grant date fair value (determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles) of more than $500,000, increased to $1,000.000 in connection with his
or her initial service, or (2) stock-settled awards with a grant date fair value of more than $500,000, increased to
$1,000,000 in connection with his or her initial service.
Non•Transferabilirs Unless the administrator provides otherwise, our 2015 Plan generally will not allow for
the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise an award during his or her lifetime.
Certain Adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under our 2015 Plan, the administrator will adjust the
number and class of shares that may be delivered under our 2015 Plan and the number, class, and price of shares
covered by each outstanding award, and the numerical share limits set forth in our 2015 Plan. In the event of our
proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable, and all
awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.
Merger or Change in Control. Our 2015 Plan will provide that in the event of a "merger" or "change in
control," as defined under ow 2015 Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines,
except that if a successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary does not assume or substitute an equivalent
