(1) Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock that become issuable under the Registrant’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) or 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that increases the number of the Registrant’s outstanding shares of common stock.
(2)
Represents an automatic increase to the number of shares available for issuance under the EIP effective January 1, 2015.
(3)

REGISTRATION OF ADDITIONAL SHARES PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION E
Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, Vocera Communications, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is filing this Registration Statement on Form S-8 to register additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock under the Registrant’s 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”). The number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock available for grant and issuance under the EIP is subject to an annual increase on January 1 by an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of increase, unless the Registrant’s board of directors, in its discretion, determines to make a smaller increase (the provision of the EIP allowing for this annual increase is referred to as the “EIP Evergreen Provision”). On January 1, 2015, the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock available for grant and issuance under the EIP increased by 1,282,200 shares. This Registration Statement registers these additional 1,282,200 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, which were available for grant and issuance under the EIP pursuant to the EIP Evergreen Provision as of January 1, 2015.
Additionally, this Registration Statement registers additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock under the Registrant’s 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP is subject to an annual increase on January 1 of each of the first ten calendar years after March 27, 2012 by the number of shares equal to one percent (1%) of the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock issued and outstanding on each December 31 immediately prior to the date of increase (the provision of the ESPP allowing for this annual increase is referred to as the “ESPP Evergreen Provision”). On January 1, 2015, the number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP increased by 256,440 shares. This Registration Statement registers these additional 256,440 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, which were reserved and available for issuance under the ESPP pursuant to the ESPP Evergreen Provision as of January 1, 2015.
The additional shares are of the same class as other securities relating to the EIP and ESPP for which the Registrant’s registration statement filed on Form S-8 (SEC File No. 333-180417) on March 28, 2012 is effective. The contents of the Registrant’s registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2012 (File No. 333-180417), February 22, 2013 (File No. 333-186818) and March 17, 2014 (File No. 333-194632) are hereby incorporated by reference.
