(1)   Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement covers any additional securities to be offered or issued from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions or pursuant to anti-dilution adjustments.
(2)   Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the registration fee pursuant to Securities Act Rules 457(c) and 457(h). The proposed maximum offering price per share, proposed maximum aggregate offering price and the amount of the registration fee are based on the average of the high and low prices of the registrant's shares of common stock on January 6, 2015, as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
(3)   Represents shares of the registrant's common stock issuable under the Fuel Tech, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan").
(4)   Represents additional shares of the registrant's common stock subject to outstanding awards granted under the Fuel Tech, Inc. Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Prior Plan") that may become available for reuse under the 2014 Plan upon forfeiture, expiration, other termination without issuance of shares, settlement for cash (in whole or in party) or otherwise do not result in the issuance of all or a portion of the shares subject to a stock option or restricted stock unit under the Prior Plan (including, without limitation, shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or withholding tax liabilities) following December 31, 2013, and that are eligible to be carried over to the 2014 Plan in accordance with its terms (the "Carry Forward Shares"). All of the Carry Forward Shares were registered pursuant to the registrant's registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") (SEC File No. 333-36390). The Carry Forward Shares that may become issuable under the 2014 Plan are being carried forward to this Registration Statement pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8.
(5)   Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8 and Interpretation 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporate Finance of the SEC (July 1997), the registration fee previously paid with respect to the Carry Forward Shares is being carried forward to the registration of shares hereunder.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement registers an aggregate 4,400,676 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Fuel Tech, Inc. (the "Company") that have been or may be issued and sold under the 2014 Plan. The number of shares registered hereby is the sum of: (a) 1,416,550 shares of newly reserved Common Stock and (b) the Carry Forward Shares, meaning up to 2,984,126 shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan that may become available for reuse following December 31, 2013 in accordance with the provisions of the 2014 Plan.
The Carry Forward Shares were registered pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 (SEC File No. 333-36390), as amended (the "Prior Plan Registration Statement").

In the case of an action brought by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent a court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.
The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company's certificate of incorporation also provides that the Company shall indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law any and all of its directors and officers, or former directors and officers, or any person who may have served at the Company's request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers to give such directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our certificate of incorporation and to provide additional procedural protections. The Company also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.
The indemnification provisions in the Company's certificate of incorporation and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Company's directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Not applicable.
Item 8.    Exhibits
See Exhibit Index.
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;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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. 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 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 this registration statement or any material change to such information in this 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
