Explanatory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by The Active Network, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 30, 2012 (the “Original 8-K”). Amendment No. 1 updates “Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders” in the Original 8-K to disclose the decision of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) regarding how frequently the Company will conduct a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation. No other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

At the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) convened on May 23, 2012, a non-binding, advisory vote was conducted concerning the frequency of the vote regarding the Company’s executive compensation. In the Company’s proxy statement furnished to stockholders in connection with the Annual Meeting, its Board of Directors recommended a vote for every year. At the Annual Meeting, a majority of votes cast on the matter were cast in favor of holding future advisory votes on executive compensation every year. After considering the preferences expressed at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined to hold future non-binding, advisory votes on executive compensation every year, so that the next such vote will be held at its 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under section 14A(a)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company will hold another vote on the frequency of the vote regarding the Company’s executive compensation no later than its 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
