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. </P>

REOFFER PROSPECTUS
EPIQ SYSTEMS, INC.
83,928 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
This prospectus relates to the resale, from time to time, of up to 83,928 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share, by the
selling stockholder listed in this prospectus. The selling stockholder acquired such shares effective July 9, 2014, pursuant to a grant made under a stand-alone inducement restricted stock award agreement, dated as of July 17, 2014, by and
between Epiq Systems, Inc. and the selling stockholder.
The shares may be offered, from time to time, by the selling stockholder through
ordinary brokerage transactions, in negotiated transactions or in other transactions, at such prices as she may determine, which may relate to market prices prevailing at the time of sale or be a negotiated price. See "Plan of
Distribution." We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the offer or sale of the shares will be borne by the selling
stockholder.
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus by the selling
stockholder.
The selling stockholder and any broker executing selling orders on behalf of the selling stockholder may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" as defined in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). If any broker–dealers are used to effect sales, any commissions paid to broker–dealers and, if broker–dealers purchase any
of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus as principals, any profits received by such broker–dealers on the resales of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. In addition, any
profits realized by the selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
Shares of our common stock are listed on the
NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "EPIQ." On September 3, 2015, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $12.72 per share.
Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See "
Risk Factors
" on page 2 of this prospectus
and the other risk factors set forth in our periodic and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), including those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended
December 31, 2014 for a discussion of certain factors that should carefully be considered by prospective purchasers.
Neither
the Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
This prospectus is dated September 4, 2015.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares may be sold or transferred for value by the selling stockholder, or by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in
interest to the selling stockholder, in one or more transactions on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such
prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling stockholder may effect such transactions by selling the shares to or through broker–dealers, and such broker–dealers may receive compensation in the form of
underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers of the shares for whom such broker–dealers may act as agent (which compensation may be less than or in excess of customary commissions). The
selling stockholder, and any broker–dealers that participate in the distribution of the shares, may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them
and any profit on the resale of the shares sold by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. All selling and other expenses incurred by the selling stockholder will be borne by the selling stockholder.
Upon our being notified by the selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker or dealer for the
sale of shares through a secondary distribution, or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a prospectus supplement, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (a) the name of the participating
broker–dealers, (b) the number of shares involved, (c) the price at which such shares are being sold, (d) the commissions paid or the discounts or concessions allowed to such broker–dealers, (e) where applicable, that
such broker–dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in the prospectus, as supplemented, and (f) other facts material to the transaction.
In addition to any such number of shares sold hereunder, the selling stockholder may, at the same time, sell any shares of common stock,
including the shares offered by this prospectus, owned by such person in compliance with all of the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, regardless of whether such shares are covered by this prospectus.

Company will not be required to indemnify or advance any expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person (including, without limitation, any cross-claim or counterclaim) to any such person unless the initiation of
such action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors or as otherwise provided in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that the Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company (or
is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, trustee or in any other comparable position of another entity) against amounts paid in settlement thereof (provided that such settlement and all amounts paid in connection
therewith are approved in advance by the Company in accordance with the bylaws) and all expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense of settlement of the action, suit or proceeding
(including, without limitation, the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of the action, suit or proceeding) 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 Company;
provided that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any such claim, issue or matter as to which the person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of the person's duties to the Company and
only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought determines upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.
Any indemnification with regard to the foregoing, unless ordered by a
court, shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the person is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Amended and
Restated Bylaws. The determination shall be made by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors, or if such quorum is not attainable, or even if obtainable, at the direction of a quorum of disinterested directors, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion or by the shareholders.
The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws also provide that expenses incurred
in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the person to repay such amounts unless it shall be ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in the Amended and Restated Bylaws.
The indemnification discussed in this section is not exclusive of any other rights the party seeking indemnification may have. The Company
also maintains directors and officers liability insurance on its directors and executive officers.
The Company has entered into
indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and officers. These agreements require the Company to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Missouri law against certain liabilities that may arise by reason
of their service to the Company.

Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed.
All of the shares of common stock that may be
offered pursuant to this Registration Statement were acquired by the selling stockholder, who is an executive officer of the Company, upon the grant of restricted stock pursuant to a restricted stock award agreement, dated as of July 17, 2014,
by and between the Company and Karin-Joyce Tjon Sien Fat. This award was made in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as it did not involve any public offering and the selling stockholder was an accredited investor within the
meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
Item 8.
Exhibits.
Reference is made to the attached Exhibit Index, which is incorporated by
reference herein.
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 20% 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 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; and
(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 Company'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
II-3
Table of Contents
reference in this Registration Statement 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.
(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.
