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

EXPLANATORY NOTE
On March 22, 2016, Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as Celladon Corporation (the "Registrant," "we,"
"us" or "our"), completed its business combination with what was then known as Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Private Eiger") in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated
as of November 18, 2015, by and among the Registrant, Celladon Merger Sub, Inc. ("Merger Sub") and Private Eiger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Private Eiger, with Private Eiger
surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the "Merger"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each option to purchase shares of Private Eiger common stock that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective
time of the Merger under the 2009 Plan, whether or not vested, was converted into and became an option to purchase shares of Registrant common stock and the Registrant assumed the 2009 Plan.
The Registrant is also filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 for the purpose of registering an additional
(a) 79,847 shares of Common Stock issuable to eligible persons under the 2013 Plan, which Common Stock is in addition to the shares of Common Stock registered on the Registrant's Form S-8 filed on March 31, 2015 (File
No. 333-203154) and January 30, 2014 (File No. 333-193662), and (b) 15,969 shares of Common Stock issuable to eligible persons under the 2013 ESPP, which Common Stock is in addition to the shares of Common Stock registered
on the Registrant's Form S-8 filed on March 31, 2015 (File No. 333-203154) and January 30, 2014 (File No. 333-193662).

(b)
The Registrant's prospectus filed on February 16, 2016, pursuant to Rule

INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including
reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
The Registrant's amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and officers, and may indemnify its employees and other agents, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. However,
Delaware law prohibits the Registrant's certificate of incorporation from limiting the liability of the Registrant's directors for the following:
•
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or to our stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; and
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Registrant
has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers. These agreements provide for the indemnification of such persons for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding
brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were serving in such capacity.
The Registrant may maintain insurance policies
that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity as such. The Registrant has obtained director and officer
liability insurance to cover liabilities directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to the Registrant.

ITEM 9.
UNDERTAKINGS
1.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(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 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 a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective registration statement.
(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)(i) and (a)(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 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 herein, 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 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 the 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.
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 SEC 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, 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 Palo Alto, State of
California, on the day of April 29, 2016.
