</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to Section&nbsp;145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, a corporation
generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and
agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are
threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause
to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section&nbsp;145 of the DGCL also provides that the rights
conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other right that a person may be entitled to under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and permits a
corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person to be indemnified upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined that the

any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such positions.

provisions that require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. We
believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors
and officers.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have entered or intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, in addition to
indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These agreements, among other things, will provide for
indemnification of our directors for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by
any such person in any action or proceeding arising out of the person&#146;s services as a director or

certain liabilities, including liabilities arising out of the Securities Act or otherwise.

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.

(1) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and
(h) under the Securities Act. The proposed maximum offering price per share as to 3,524,348 shares
authorized to be issued but have not yet been granted under the 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Nasdaq Global Market on July 20, 2007.
(2) Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Rule 457(c) and
(h). The proposed maximum offering price per share as to 3,594,249 shares subject to outstanding
but unexercised options under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan are computed on the basis of the
weighted average exercise price of $1.69, and as to the 169,144 shares issuable upon exercise of
options that are authorized to be issued but have not yet been granted under the 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan are based on the average of the high and low prices of AuthenTec, Inc. Common Stock
reported on the Nasdaq Global Market on July 20, 2007.
(3) In addition, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement also
covers an indeterminate number of shares of Common Stock that may be offered or issued by reason of
stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The document(s) containing the information specified in Part I of Form S-8 will be sent or
given to participating employees and directors as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) promulgated under the
Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together, constitute
a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act").
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents which have been filed by the Registrant with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, or the Commission, are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)
the prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) under the
Securities Act on June 27, 2007 (File No. 333-141348) ; and
(b)
the description of the registrant's common stock, $0.01 par value per share,
contained in its Registration Statement on form 8-A/A, filed with the Commission on
June 25, 2007 (File No. 001-33552) pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities
remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement
and to be a part of this Registration Statement from the date of filing of such documents.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
A
venture fund affiliated with DLA Piper US LLP holds 13,061 shares of
our common
stock and warrants to purchase 1,597 shares of our common stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, a corporation
generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors, officers, employees and
agents against expenses incurred by them in connection with any suit to which they are, or are
threatened to be made, a party by reason of their serving in such positions so long as they acted
in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, they had no reasonable cause
to believe their conduct was unlawful. Section 145 of the DGCL also provides that the rights
conferred thereby are not exclusive of any other right that a person may be entitled to under any
bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and permits a
corporation to advance expenses to or on behalf of a person to be indemnified upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined that the
person is not entitled to indemnification. Section 145 of the DGCL also empowers us to
purchase and maintain insurance that protects our officers, directors, employees and agents against
any liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such positions.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws include
provisions that require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted
by the DGCL, including circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary. We
believe that these provisions are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors
and officers.
We have entered or intend to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, in addition to
indemnification provided for in our bylaws. These agreements, among other things, will provide for
indemnification of our directors for expenses, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by
any such person in any action or proceeding arising out of the person's services as a director or
at our request. We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to
certain liabilities, including liabilities arising out of the Securities Act or otherwise.

Item 9. Undertakings.
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;
(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 this Registration Statement; and
2
(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 (l)(i) and (l)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in periodic 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 this Registration Statement.
(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.
(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.
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 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 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.
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.
