(the “Company” or the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register 2,493,408; 2,472,635; 2,512,972; 1,237,090; 2,308,615; 2,279,083; and 4,700,000 shares of common stock, respectively, all with par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to the Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2015 Plan”).

On June 4, 2025 (the “Approval Date”), the stockholders of the Company approved the Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. 2025 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan provides that: (i) no new awards may be granted under the 2015 Plan as of the Approval Date (although awards granted under the 2015 Plan prior to the Approval Date (“2015 Outstanding Awards”) will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and those of the 2015 Plan); and (ii) the shares of Common Stock that were available for grant under the 2015 Plan but were unissued as of the Approval Date (the “2015 Unused Shares”) will become available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan.

ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

Not applicable.

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The Registrant is a Delaware corporation. Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors or officers of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except:

· for any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

· for acts or omissions by a director or officer not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

· by a director pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions);

· for any transaction from which a director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; or

· for an officer in any action or in the right of the corporation.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

As permitted by the DGCL, the Registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that: (1) the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL; (2) the Registrant may, in its discretion, indemnify its officers, employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL; (3) the Registrant is required, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to advance all expenses incurred by its directors in connection with certain legal proceedings; (4) the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive; and (5) the Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents.

The Registrant has entered into agreements with its directors that require it to indemnify them against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts that any such person becomes legally obligated to pay (including with respect to a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or any of its affiliates, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the Registrant’s best interests. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder.

The Registrant maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses the Registrant for those losses for which it has lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. The policy contains various exclusions.

See also the undertakings set out in response to Item 9 hereof.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.

The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a) (1) To file during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to these Registration Statements:

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

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Amended Registration Statements (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 Amended Registration Statements;

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Amended Registration Statements or any material change to such information in the Amended Registration Statements;

provided, however, paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section 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 SEC by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Amended Registration Statements;

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

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

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

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