This Registration Statement covers, in addition to the number of shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.001 par value per share ("
Common Stock
"), stated above, options and other rights to purchase or acquire the shares of Common Stock covered by the Registrant's Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("
Plan
"). The maximum number of shares that may be sold under the Plan is subject to adjustment in accordance with certain anti-dilution and other provisions of the Plan.  Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("
Securities Act
"), this Registration Statement includes, in addition to the number of shares stated above, an indeterminate number of shares that may be subject to grant or otherwise issuable after the operation of any such anti-dilution and other provisions.  The preferred share purchase rights, which are attached to the shares of Common Stock registered hereunder, will be issued for no additional consideration.  Accordingly, no additional registration fee is required.
(2)
Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act.  The fee is calculated on the basis of the average of the high and low sale prices per share of Common Stock as quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market on August 1, 2016 (within 5 business days prior to filing this Registration Statement).
(3)
Each share of Registrant's Common Stock being registered hereunder, if issued prior to the termination by the Registrant of its Tax Benefit Preservation Plan dated May 26, 2010 with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of April 14, 2014, includes rights to acquire Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.  Prior to the occurrence of certain events, these rights will not be exercisable or evidenced separately from the Registrant's Common Stock and have no value except as reflected in the market price of the shares to which they are attached.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Autobytel Inc., a Delaware corporation ("
Registrant
"), is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register 2,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under its Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan ("
Plan
").  On April 29, 2016, the Registrant filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "
Commission
") a definitive proxy statement that included a proposal to, among other things, increase the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  The Registrant's stockholders approved this proposal on June 20, 2016.
In accordance with General Instruction E of Form S-8, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the contents of the prior registration statement on Form S-8 relating to the Plan, filed with the Commission on July 9, 2014 (Commission File No. 333-197325).
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The documents containing the information required by Part I of Form S-8 will be sent or given to employees as specified by Rule 428(b)(1) of the Securities Act, as amended ("
Securities Act
").  These documents are not required to be and are not filed with the Commission, either as part of this Registration Statement or as prospectuses or prospectus supplements pursuant to Rule 424.  These documents and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3 of Part II of this Form S-8, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.             Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Registrant is subject to the informational and reporting requirements of Sections 13(a), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("
Exchange Act
"), and in accordance therewith, files reports, proxy statements and other information with the Commission.
The following documents, which are on file with the Commission, are incorporated herein by reference:
(a)       The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, filed on March 10, 2016 (Commission File No.: 001-34761).
(b)       All other reports of the Registrant filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant document referred to in (a) above.

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 to this Registration Statement, which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents with the Commission.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.  Unless expressly incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, a report (or portion thereof) furnished, but not filed, on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act is not incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.
Item 8.             Exhibits.
The 'Exhibit Index' immediately preceding the exhibits is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.             Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
A.       (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 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; 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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed 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 herein, 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, 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 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.
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 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 of 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Irvine, State of California, on August 4, 2016.
