This Registration Statement on Form S‑8 covers 10,837,285 shares of common stock, $0.00005 par value per share, (“ Common Stock ”) of Cloudera, Inc. (the “ Registrant ”). In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 3, 2018, by and among the Registrant, Surf Merger Corporation and Hortonworks, Inc. (the “ Merger Agreement ”), the shares (the “ Assumed Shares ”) subject to option awards and restricted stock unit awards (“ RSUs ”) that were outstanding under the Amended and Restated Hortonworks, Inc. 2014 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “ 2014 Plan ”) and  the Hortonworks, Inc. 2011 Stock Option and Grant Plan (“ 2011 Plan ”, and together with the 2014 Plan, the “ Plans ”), were assumed by the Registrant at the effective time of the merger of Surf Merger Corporation with and into Hortonworks, Inc., whereby Hortonworks, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant (the “ Merger ”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Assumed Shares were adjusted to equal: (x) the number of shares of Hortonworks common stock subject to the Hortonworks option award or RSU immediately prior to the Merger, multiplied by (y) 1.305, with such product rounded down to the nearest whole share of Common Stock.
(2)
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 in respect of the securities identified in the above table by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the Registrant’s receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the outstanding shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock.
(3)
Pursuant to Rule 457(p) under the Securities Act, the Registrant hereby offsets the registration fee required in connection with this Registration Statement by $13,340, representing a portion of the dollar amount of the filing fee previously paid by the Registrant that corresponds to unsold shares registered pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S‑4 (No. 333‑228155) originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2018, as amended (the “ Form S‑4 ”). A Post‑Effective Amendment to the Form S‑4 to deregister such unsold shares of Common Stock is being filed immediately prior to the filing of this Registration Statement.
(4)
Calculated solely for the purposes of this offering under Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act, on the basis of the weighted average exercise price of the outstanding options.
(5)
Calculated solely for the purposes of this offering under Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the Registration’s Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on January 3, 2019.

Item 4. Description of Securities .
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel .

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers .
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers under certain circumstances and subject to certain limitations. The terms of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
As permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate the personal liability of its directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except liability for the following:
•
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;
•
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
•
under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (regarding unlawful dividends and stock purchases); or
•
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
As permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Registrant’s restated bylaws provide that:
•
the Registrant is required to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, subject to very limited exceptions;
•
the Registrant may indemnify its other employees and agents as set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware;
•
the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to its directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, subject to very limited exceptions; and
•
the rights conferred in the restated bylaws are not exclusive.
The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. The indemnification provisions in the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation, restated bylaws, and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and each of its directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The foregoing description is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation, restated bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
The Registrant currently carries liability insurance for its directors and officers.
In addition, certain of the Registrant’s non‑employee directors may, through their relationships with their employers, be insured and/or indemnified against certain liabilities incurred in their capacity as members of the Registrant’s board of directors.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed .
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings .
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
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 this 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 this 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(i)
To include any material information with respect to the Plans not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post‑effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
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.
(b)
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 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 therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
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 Commission 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 this 8th day of January, 2019.
