On February 10, 2014, ReachLocal, Inc. and Google Inc. entered into an Amendment 2 to the Google Inc. AdWords Reseller Addendum, which amends the Google Inc. AdWords Reseller Addendum, dated April 25, 2011 (the “Americas Agreement”), between the parties. The amendment extends the term of the Americas Agreement by two months to June 30, 2014.

On February 11, 2014, ReachLocal publicly disseminated a press release announcing financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to ReachLocal’s press release, dated February 11, 2014, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated herein by reference.  Such information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

On January 30, 2014, ReachLocal’s board of directors authorized a plan to reduce the company’s North American workforce and real estate obligations and delegated authority to the company’s management to determine specific actions with respect to such plan. On February 7, 2014, ReachLocal’s management implemented the restructuring plan, which will be substantially completed during the first quarter of 2014 and fully completed by year end.

ReachLocal estimates it will incur approximately $1.5 million to $2.5 million in total restructuring charges, of which approximately $1.4 million to $2.0 million are expected to result in future cash expenditures. These first quarter costs will consist of severance and other employee-related costs (approximately $0.4 million to $0.5 million), lease and contract termination costs (approximately $1.0 million to $1.5 million), and other costs (approximately $0.1 million to $0.5 million).

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including statements relating to, among other things, our expectations related to our restructuring plan and reduction in force, our estimated total restructuring costs, future cash expenditures, and the timing for such estimated charges. These statements reflect ReachLocal’s current views about future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievement to materially differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. More information about these factors and other potential factors that could affect ReachLocal’s business and financial results is contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K. ReachLocal does not intend, and undertakes no duty, to update this information to reflect future events or circumstances.
