Pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional Common Shares which become issuable under the Plan (as
defined below) by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of the Registrant.
(2)
These Common Shares are being registered for issuance under the Kofax Limited 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
(3)
The registration fee was calculated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and 457(h) of the Securities Act on the basis of $6.85 per share, the average high and low prices of Common Shares as reported on the NASDAQ Global
Select Market on December 6, 2013.
(4)
The registration fee was calculated solely with respect to outstanding options to acquire Common Shares granted under the Plan in accordance with Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act based upon the weighted average
exercise price of such outstanding options of £2.16 or $3.54 (based on the rate of exchange at the close of December 6, 2013).

Item 5.

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is incorporated under the
laws of Bermuda. Section 98 of the Bermuda Companies Act provides generally that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors and officers against any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect
of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98 further provides
that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors and officers against any liability incurred by them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their favor or in which they are acquitted or granted
relief by the Supreme Court of Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Section 98 of the Bermuda Companies Act further provides that a company may advance moneys to an officer (including a director) for the costs, charges
and expenses incurred by the officer (including a director) in defending any civil or criminal proceedings against them, on condition that the officer (including a director) shall repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty is proved
against them.
2
The Registrant has adopted provisions in its bye-laws that provide that it shall indemnify its
officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions, except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. The Registrant's bye-laws provide that the shareholders waive all claims or rights of action that they might have, individually or
in right of the company, against any of the Registrant's directors or officers for any act or failure to act in the performance of such director's or officer's duties, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of such director or
officer or any claims of violations of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 the waiver of which would be prohibited by Section 14 of the Securities Act and Section 29(a) of the Exchange Act.
Section 98A of the Bermuda Companies Act permits the Registrant to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or
director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not the Registrant may otherwise indemnify such officer or director. The Registrant has purchased and
intends to maintain a directors' and officers' liability policy for such purpose.

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 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)(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.
4
(c) 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.
