CALCULATION OF REGISTRATION FEE

 

Title of Securities to be Registered		Amount to be Registered (1)		Proposed Maximum Offering Price Per Share		Proposed Maximum Aggregate Offering Price		Amount of Registration Fee
Common Stock, $1 par value per share		4,100,000 shares		$170.285 (2)		$698,168,500.00 (2)		$70,305.57

(1)

The Snap-on Incorporated 2011 Incentive Stock and Awards Plan (the “Plan”) initially provided by its terms for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $1 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 7, 2011 (File No. 333-177794) related to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan. On April 30, 2015, the Plan was amended and restated by the Registrant’s shareholders primarily in order to increase to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for future issuance pursuant to the Plan by 4,100,000 shares.

 

The Plan provides for possible adjustment of the number of and class of and/or price of shares subject to outstanding awards, in the event of certain capital or other changes affecting the Common Stock. Thus, in addition to the above stated 4,100,000 shares, pursuant to Rule 416(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, this Registration Statement on Form S-8 also covers an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock that may become subject to the Plan by means of any such adjustment.

 

(2)	Pursuant to Rule 457(h), estimated solely for the purpose of computing the registration fee, based upon the average of the high and low sales prices of the Registrant’s Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on December 9, 2015.

Item 8. Exhibits.

See the Exhibit Index following the Signatures page in this Registration Statement on Form S-8, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

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

 

(i)

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

 

(ii)

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

 

(iii)

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

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

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

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

….

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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.

....

(h) Reference is made to the indemnification provisions described in Item 6 of the Registrant’s previous Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-177794); as noted above, portions of such Registration Statement on Form S-8 are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement on Form S-8.

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