they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was
unlawful.&nbsp;The VSCA requires such indemnification, unless limited by a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation, when a director or officer entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she
is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The VSCA provides that a corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), and may make additional
provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, if authorized by its articles of incorporation or shareholder-adopted bylaw or resolution, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. The Articles
require indemnification of directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities and expenses imposed upon them by reason of having been a director or officer, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law.

suit brought by or in the right of the corporation or brought by or on behalf of the corporation&#146;s shareholders and authorizes a corporation to specify a lower monetary limit on liability (including the elimination of liability for monetary
damages) in the corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation or bylaws; however, the liability of a director or officer shall not be limited if such director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of
any federal or state securities law. As permitted by the VSCA, the Articles eliminate the liability for monetary damages of a director or officer in a proceeding brought by or in the right of the Registrant or brought by or on behalf of the
Registrant&#146;s shareholders.&nbsp;This elimination of liability will not apply in the event of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law or any federal or state securities law. </P>

The following documents that Weight Watchers
International, Inc. (the "Registrant") has filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement:
(a)
the Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, filed on February 26, 2014;
(b)
the Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 29, 2014, filed on May 8, 2014;

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 Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the
"VSCA") permits, and the Registrant's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") require, the Registrant to indemnify its directors and officers in a variety of circumstances, which may include
indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act. Under Sections 13.1-697 and 13.1-702 of the VSCA, a Virginia corporation generally is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers in civil and criminal actions if
2
they acted in good faith and believed their conduct to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was
unlawful. The VSCA requires such indemnification, unless limited by a corporation's articles of incorporation, when a director or officer entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she
is or was a director or officer of the corporation. The VSCA provides that a corporation may make any other or further indemnity (including indemnity with respect to a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation), and may make additional
provision for advances and reimbursement of expenses, if authorized by its articles of incorporation or shareholder-adopted bylaw or resolution, except an indemnity against willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. The Articles
require indemnification of directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities and expenses imposed upon them by reason of having been a director or officer, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law.
The VSCA establishes a statutory limit on liability of directors and officers of a corporation for damages assessed against them in a
suit brought by or in the right of the corporation or brought by or on behalf of the corporation's shareholders and authorizes a corporation to specify a lower monetary limit on liability (including the elimination of liability for monetary
damages) in the corporation's articles of incorporation or bylaws; however, the liability of a director or officer shall not be limited if such director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of
any federal or state securities law. As permitted by the VSCA, the Articles eliminate the liability for monetary damages of a director or officer in a proceeding brought by or in the right of the Registrant or brought by or on behalf of the
Registrant's shareholders. This elimination of liability will not apply in the event of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law or any federal or state securities law.
The Registrant also carries insurance on behalf of its directors, officers, employees and agents that may cover liabilities under the
Securities Act. Sections 13.1-692.1 and 13.1-696 through 704 of the VSCA are incorporated herein by reference.

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

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; and
(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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(b) 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.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(2) 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 this 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.
(3) 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.
