PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

     This registration statement relates to the Endologix, Inc. (the “Registrant”) Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”).

     The Board of Directors adopted and the stockholders of the Registrant originally approved the Purchase Plan in May 1996. The Purchase Plan was amended by the Board of Directors in April 1997 and March 1998, of which the March 1998 amendment was approved by the Company’s stockholders. Initially, an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the Purchase Plan, and such 200,000 shares were registered on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 11, 1996 (Registration No. 333-07959). In March 2000, the Board of Directors approved an increase of 200,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Plan and on June 6, 2000, the stockholders approved such increase. Such 200,000 shares were registered on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on December 21, 2000 (Registration No. 333-52482). In May 2003, the Board of Directors approved an increase of 200,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Plan and on October 28, 2003, the stockholders approved such increase. This registration statement covers such increase of 200,000 shares of common stock issuable under the Purchase Plan, bringing the total number of shares authorized thereunder to 600,000.
