EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 16, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Under Armour, Inc. (the “Company”) declared a dividend of one share of Class C common stock (“Class C Stock”) for each share of the Company’s Class A common stock (“Class A Stock”) and Class B common stock outstanding on March 28, 2016, which is payable on April 7, 2016 (the “Class C Dividend”).

In connection with the Class C Dividend, the Board made an adjustment to the shares of Class A Stock to be purchased pursuant to the Under Armour, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Class A ESPP”) on March 31, 2016, after the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the Class C Dividend, to provide that each share of Class A Stock purchased pursuant to the Class A ESPP on March 31, 2016 would also entitle the purchaser to receive one share of Class C Stock on the Class C Dividend payment date of April 7, 2016. The Company is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the shares of Class C Stock issuable as a result of this equitable adjustment to the Class A ESPP.

The Company is also filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register the shares of Class C Stock issuable under the Under Armour, Inc. Class C Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Class C ESPP”).

(a)

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015;

The Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2016 and March 16, 2016; and

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Certain legal matters with respect to the securities will be passed upon for the Company by John P. Stanton, Senior Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary of the Company. As of March 30, 2016, Mr. Stanton owned or had the right to acquire, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of less than 0.1% of the Company’s Class A Stock and, immediately after completion of the Class C Dividend, is expected to own or have the right to acquire less than 0.1% of the Company’s Class C Stock. Mr. Stanton is eligible to participate in both the Class C ESPP and the Class A ESPP.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Under the Company’s by-laws and the Maryland General Corporation Law, the directors and officers of the Company may be entitled to indemnification in respect of threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceedings”), to which they are made a party by reason of their position as a director or officer of the Company. In the case of conduct in their official capacity with the Company, directors and officers will be entitled to indemnification unless the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services. In the case of criminal proceedings the director or the officer also must have had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

If the director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding, the director or officer will be entitled to indemnification against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceedings regardless of whether the foregoing standards are met. In addition, a court of appropriate jurisdiction may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer has met the foregoing standards, or if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.

Any indemnification required or permitted by the Company’s by-laws and the Maryland General Corporation Law may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding. However, if the proceeding is by or in the right of the Company, indemnification may be made only against expenses and may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the Company.

Under the Company’s charter, the monetary liability of directors and officers to the Company or its stockholders is eliminated except for, and to the extent of, actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, or in respect of a judgment or other final adjudication based on a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

The Company also maintains for the benefit of its directors and officers insurance covering certain liabilities asserted against or incurred by such persons in their capacity as, or as a result of their position as, director or officer of the Company. This insurance may afford protection for liabilities not subject to indemnification under the Company’s by-laws and the Maryland General Corporation Law.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

The exhibits listed below in the “Index to Exhibits” filed herewith and appearing immediately after the signature page to this Registration Statement are numbered in accordance with Item 601 of Regulation S-K, are part of this Registration Statement and are incorporated by reference in this Item 8.

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

(a)

The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

II-2

---

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement;

 

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

 

(2)

That for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(b)

The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
