Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements with Certain Officers

On May 1, 2012, The Active Network, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its determination of named executive officer base salaries for 2012. As a result, each of the named executive officers received base salary increases resulting in the following annualized base salaries for named executive officers:

The Company also completed its determination of named executive officer bonuses payable under the 2012 Annual Incentive Plan (the “2012 AIP”). The 2012 AIP has three thresholds of achievement for the Company’s corporate goals: base plan (27% of target), target plan (100% of target) and maximum plan (130% of target). The base plan represents the minimum threshold below which no bonuses are required to be paid. Each threshold requires the Company to achieve both Adjusted EBITDA and revenue targets for the applicable threshold bonus to be paid for 2012. Following achievement of a threshold, bonuses are assessed independently on a linear basis and the degree to which the Company performs against these goals will determine the amounts payable under the Bonus Plan. The resulting calculation of the Adjusted EBITDA component (50%) and revenue component (50%) is summed to arrive at a total target bonus amount for each named executive officer. The Committee will then apply a modifier based upon pre-established, individual performance goals.

The potential 2012 AIP payments at each of the thresholds are set forth for each named executive officer in the table below and are payable in combination of cash and restricted stock units:
