Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Form 10-K/A”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Vringo, Inc. (“Vringo” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2015 (the “Original Filing”). This Form 10-K/A amends the Original Filing to include the information required by Part III of the Original Filing because the Company has not and will not file a definitive proxy statement within 120 days after the end of its 2014 fiscal year. In addition, this Form 10-K/A amends Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing to include new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

Except for the foregoing, we have not modified or updated disclosures presented in the Original Filing in this Form 10-K/A. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A does not modify or update the disclosures in the Original Filing to reflect subsequent events, results or developments or facts that have become known to us after the date of the Original Filing. Information not affected by this amendment remains unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time the Original Filing was filed. Therefore, this Form 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with any documents incorporated by reference therein and our filings made with the SEC subsequent to the Original Filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-K/A contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management’s expectations and are subject to certain factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, outcome of events, timing and performance to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our business, particularly those mentioned in the Risk Factors in Item 1A of our Original Filing and in our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

All references in this Form 10-K/A to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Vringo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries unless the context requires otherwise.

Our Board of Directors currently consists of seven (7) members. Prior to each annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors considers the recommendations of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and votes to nominate individuals for election or re-election for a term of one year or until their successors are duly elected and qualify or until their earlier death, resignation, or removal.

Our executive officers are appointed by, and serve at the discretion of, our Board of Directors. There are no family relationships among any of the directors or executive officers. Additionally, information about the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led to our Board of Directors’ conclusion that each person listed below should serve as a director is set forth below:

Andrew D. Perlman has served as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) since March 2012, as our President from April 2010 to July 2012 and as a member of our Board of Directors since September 2009. From February 2009 to March 2010, Mr. Perlman served as Vice President of Global Digital Business Development at EMI Music Group (“EMI”), where he was responsible for leading distribution deals with digital partners for EMI’s music and video content.

Mr. Perlman holds a Bachelor of Arts (“B.A.”) in Business Administration from the School of Business and Public Management at The George Washington University.

4

We believe Mr. Perlman’s prior experience in licensing intellectual property and deal structuring qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors. His additional experience and insights gained over the past five years at Vringo are a significant contribution to the Company and the Board of Directors.

Andrew Kennedy Lang has served as our President, Chief Technology Officer and as a member of our Board of Directors since July 19, 2012, and served as President, CEO, Chief Technology Officer and a director of Innovate/Protect from June 22, 2011 to July 19, 2012.

Mr. Lang is a graduate of Duke University where he finished second in his class and holds Bachelor’s degrees in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics. Mr. Lang holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon University.

We believe Mr. Lang’s experience gained as founder of WiseWire Corporation, and CEO of Innovate/Protect and Lightspace Corporation qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors.

Ms. Nyrkovskaya oversees all aspects of the finance and accounting functions, including: SEC and internal financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting, tax planning and reporting, human resources, and operational matters.

Mr. Cohen received the Sara Norton prize from Cambridge University and the First Prize in Lowden-Wigmore Prizes for Legal Scholarship from Northwestern. Mr. Cohen clerked for The Honorable Chief Judge Gregory W. Carman of the Court of International Trade.

H. Van Sinclair has been a director at Vringo since July 19, 2012 and was a director of Innovate/Protect from November 7, 2011 through the consummation of the merger with Vringo. Since 2003, Mr. Sinclair has served as President, CEO and General Counsel of The RLJ Companies (“RLJ”), the investment company organized by Robert L.

Mr. Sinclair holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and a Master’s degree in business administration from the University of Rochester, and a J.D. from The George Washington University.

5

We believe Mr. Sinclair’s experiences in commercial disputes, litigation, and board service on other public companies qualify him to serve on our Board of Directors.

John Engelman has been our director since December 2010. Mr. Engelman also serves as an independent director of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc., a publically traded Hispanic media company that owns and operates television stations and cable networks in the United States, Puerto Rico and Latin America.

He began his career as a partner at the Los Angeles law firm of Irell & Manella. Mr. Engelman has a J.D. from Harvard Law School and a B.A. in Government from Harvard College.

We believe Mr. Engelman’s experience in the media and entertainment industries qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors. His experience gained both as an executive at Classic Media and Boomerang Media are contributions to us and the Board of Directors.

He received an MBA with high honors from the University Of Chicago Booth School Of Business, where he graduated in the top 5% of his class. He earned his J.D. with highest honors from the University of Chicago Law School, where he graduated first in his class.

We believe Mr. Keller’s experience in commercial litigation matters and involvement in securities and patent cases qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors.

Mr. Spiegel is currently a director of American Eagle Outfitters, Inc., where he serves as chairman of the Audit Committee and a member of the Compensation Committee, as well as a director of Radian Group, Inc., where he serves as a member of the Audit Committee.

Mr. Spiegel holds a B.S. from Long Island University, and attended the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School.

6

We believe that Mr. Spiegel’s tenure of over forty years at Deloitte, coupled with his experience on public company boards of directors, qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors.

Donald E. Stout has been a director at Vringo since July 19, 2012 and was a director of Innovate/Protect from November 7, 2011 through the consummation of the merger with Vringo.

We believe Mr. Stout’s experience in intellectual property law qualifies him to serve on our Board of Directors.

Committees of the Board of Directors and Meetings

Meeting Attendance.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 there were eighteen (18) meetings of our Board of Directors, and the various committees of the Board of Directors met a total of twelve (12) times. No director attended fewer than 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of committees of the Board of Directors on which he served during fiscal 2014. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy under which each member of the Board of Directors is strongly encouraged but not required to attend each annual meeting of our stockholders.

Audit Committee.  Our Audit Committee met eight (8) times during fiscal 2014. This committee currently has three (3) members, Noel J. Spiegel (Chairman), H. Van Sinclair and Ashley C. Keller. Our Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities are set forth in the Audit Committee’s written charter and include the authority to retain and terminate the services of our independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews our annual and quarterly financial statements, considers matters relating to accounting policy and internal controls and reviews the scope of annual audits. All members of the Audit Committee satisfy the current independence standards promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), as such standards apply specifically to members of audit committees. The Board of Directors has determined that both Messrs. Spiegel and Sinclair are “audit committee financial experts,” as defined by the SEC in Item 407 of Regulation S-K.

A copy of the Audit Committee’s written charter is publicly available through the “Investors — Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.vringoip.com.

Compensation Committee.  Our Compensation Committee met six (6) times during fiscal 2014. This committee currently has three (3) members, John Engelman (Chairman), Donald E. Stout and Noel J. Spiegel. Ashley C. Keller served as a member of the Compensation Committee through January 15, 2015. Mr. Stout joined the Compensation Committee on January 15, 2015.

7

Our Compensation Committee’s role and responsibilities are set forth in the Compensation Committee’s written charter and includes reviewing, approving and making recommendations regarding our compensation policies, practices and procedures to ensure that legal and fiduciary responsibilities of the Board of Directors are carried out and that such policies, practices and procedures contribute to our success. Our Compensation Committee also administers our 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and our 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”). The Compensation Committee is responsible for the determination of the compensation of our CEO, and shall conduct its decision making process with respect to that issue without the CEO present, and establishment and reviewing general compensation policies with the objective of attracting and retaining superior talent, rewarding individual performance and achieving our financial goals. The Compensation Committee has the authority to directly retain the services of independent consultants and other experts to assist in fulfilling its responsibilities. During fiscal year 2014, based on the recommendation of management, the Compensation Committee did not engage third party compensation consultants.

All members of the Compensation Committee qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by NASDAQ. A copy of the Compensation Committee’s written charter is publicly available through the “Investors — Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.vringoip.com.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met two (2) times during fiscal year 2014 and currently has two (2) members, H. Van Sinclair (Chairman) and Ashley C. Keller. The Nominating Committee’s role and responsibilities are set forth in the Nominating Committee’s written charter and is authorized to:

• identify and nominate members of the Board of Directors; 

• oversee the evaluation of the Board of Directors and management; 

• develop and recommend corporate governance guidelines to the Board of Directors; 

• evaluate the performance of the members of the Board of Directors; and 

• make recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the structure, composition and functioning of the Board of Directors and its committees.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors may therefore consider a broad range of factors relating to the qualifications and background of nominees, which may include diversity, which is not only limited to race, gender or national origin. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s and Board of Directors’ priority in selecting board members is identification of persons who will further the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members and professional and personal experiences and expertise relevant to our growth strategy.

All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee qualify as independent under the definition promulgated by NASDAQ. In addition, under our current corporate governance policies, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider candidates recommended by stockholders as well as from other sources such as other directors or officers, third party search firms or other appropriate sources. For all potential candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider all factors it deems relevant, such as a candidate’s personal integrity and sound judgment, business and professional skills and experience, independence, knowledge of the industry in which we operate, possible conflicts of interest, diversity, the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on the Board of Directors, and concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders. In general, persons recommended by stockholders will be considered on the same basis as candidates from other sources.

A copy of the Nominating and Governance Committee’s written charter is publicly available through the “Investors — Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.vringoip.com.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Perlman currently serves as our CEO and Mr. Sinclair, a non-management director, serves as our lead independent director. If the Board of Directors convenes for a special meeting, the non-management directors will meet in executive session if circumstances warrant. Mr. Sinclair, as lead independent director, will preside over executive sessions of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board of Directors currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole. Upon the formation of each of the board committees, the committees will also provide risk oversight and report any material risks to the Board of Directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our directors, executive officers and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in the ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Such persons are required to furnish us copies of all Section 16(a) filings.

Based solely upon a review of the copies of the forms furnished to us, we believe that our officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of our common stock complied with all applicable filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of conduct and ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our CEO and chief financial and accounting officers. The text of the code of conduct and ethics is posted on the “Investors — Corporate Governance” section of our website at www.vringoip.com, and will be made available to stockholders without charge, upon request, in writing to the Corporate Secretary at 780 Third Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10017. Disclosure regarding any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of the code of conduct and ethics that apply to our directors, principal executive and financial officers will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver, unless website posting or the issuance of a press release of such amendments or waivers is then permitted by the rules of NASDAQ.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We have prepared the following Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) to provide you with information that we believe is necessary to understand our executive compensation policies and decisions as they relate to the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”).

Overview

Below is a summary of our NEOs as of December 31, 2014:

Andrew D. Perlman	Chief Executive Officer and Director
Andrew Kennedy Lang	Chief Technology Officer, President and Director
Anastasia Nyrkovskaya	Chief Financial Officer
David L. Cohen, Esq.	Chief Legal and Intellectual Property Officer

In addition, Alexander R. Berger served as our Chief Operating Officer and Director through December 19, 2014, at which time he ceased to be an executive officer of the Company.

Company Performance, Compensation Determination Process, and Related Compensation Decisions

During 2014, a variety of decisions occurred with respect to the I/P Engine litigation against AOL Inc., Google Inc. et al. On August 15, 2014, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) reversed a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia by holding that the asserted claims of the patents-in-suit in the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary I/P Engine's litigation against AOL Inc., Google Inc. et al. are invalid for obviousness. On October 15, 2014, I/P Engine filed a petition for rehearing en banc, in which it argued that the majority's opinion in this case presents important questions of law and is at odds with a series of Supreme Court and Federal Circuit decisions which do not allow appellate judges to disregard a jury's detailed findings under these circumstances. I/P Engine argued that review is particularly appropriate here, where the panel majority not only failed to adopt the proper legal standard, but explicitly rejected it. On December 15, 2014, the Federal Circuit denied I/P Engine's petition for rehearing of the case en banc and consequently, we announced that I/P Engine will seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court of the Federal Circuit's decision.

During the second half of the year, the Company’s stock price declined and the closing price of the Company’s stock on December 31, 2014 was $0.55. The decline in stock price resulted in a significantly lower market capitalization and, as a result, influenced the Company’s compensation decisions. In addition, as a result of our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company received a 65% vote in support of its executive compensation program in the 2014 Say-on-Pay advisory vote (the “Advisory Vote”) and this was taken into account by the Compensation Committee.

In establishing compensation amounts for executives, the Compensation Committee seeks to provide compensation that is competitive in light of current market conditions and industry practices. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee annually reviews market data which is comprised of proxy-disclosed data from peer companies and information from nationally recognized published surveys for general and high-technology industry, adjusted for size. For 2014, these peer companies included VirnetX (NYSE:VHC), Acacia Research Corporation (NASDAQ:ACTG), Interdigital, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDCC), Unwired Planet, Inc. (NASDAQ:UPIP), Parkervision Inc. (NASDAQ:PRKR), Pendrell Corporation (NASDAQ:PCO), and Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSE:DSS). The market data helps the Compensation Committee gain perspective on the compensation levels and practices at the peer companies and to assess the relative competitiveness of the compensation paid to the company’s executives. The market data thus guides the Compensation Committee in its efforts to set executive compensation levels and program targets at competitive levels for comparable roles in the marketplace. The Compensation Committee then takes into account other factors, such as the importance of each executive officer’s role to the company, individual expertise, experience, and performance, retention concerns and relevant compensation trends in the marketplace, in making its final compensation determinations.

The Compensation Committee reviews the performance of each NEO annually in light of the above factors and determines whether the NEO should receive any increase in base salary or receive a discretionary equity award based on such evaluation. The CEO also provides input related to the performance and compensation evaluation of each NEO, but does not provide input related to his own performance and compensation evaluation. During fiscal year 2014, the Compensation Committee did not utilize quantitative measures connected to financial results, such as revenues or profitability, with respect to compensation, as the Company did not generate net income during the year.

Our Compensation Committee held six meetings during 2014 to consider appropriate actions with respect to executive compensation including the appropriateness of cash bonuses, salary increases, and granting equity awards for 2014 performance. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors concluded that there would be no cash bonuses paid to employees, including the CEO and all other NEOs, for 2014 as the Company did not generate net income during the year. Further, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors decided that there would be no annual equity awards granted to the CEO or the other NEOs in early 2015 given our 2014 results and decline in the stock price. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors also decided that there would be no salary increases for the CEO or all other executive officers, except for contractual salary increases of $15,000 to both Mr. Perlman and Mr. Berger, and salary increases of $15,000 to both Mr. Cohen and Ms. Nyrkovskaya to reflect the increase in cost of living. The results of the Advisory Vote were also taken into consideration by the Compensation Committee in making these decisions and in evaluating the full scale of executive compensation for 2014. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that these decisions demonstrate the strong linkage between executive pay and feedback from our investors and our Company’s 2014 financial results.

During the first quarter of 2014, we granted Ms. Nyrkovskaya 300,000 options, and Mr. Cohen 100,000 options, both at an exercise price of $4.10, vesting quarterly over a three year period, related to their individual performance during 2013. The decision to do so was made based on the results of the market data review and other analyses performed by the Compensation Committee, in order to adjust the compensation of these individuals to competitive levels for comparable roles in the marketplace. There were no other equity awards granted to NEOs in 2014.

10

The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe the 2014 compensation decisions and the overall executive compensation program are tailored to our business strategies, align pay with performance, and take into account feedback received from investors. We will continue our engagement with our stockholders regarding our executive compensation program as well as other governance matters.

Compensation Components and Philosophy

We currently provide two basic forms of direct compensation to our employees, including the CEO and the other NEOs: base salary and equity awards. Equity awards include stock options to purchase shares of our common stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Equity awards granted to our NEOs typically vest in equal quarterly installments, over a period of three years. On an annual basis, each of these compensation components are reviewed by our Compensation Committee for each of our employees, including our CEO and the other NEOs, to ensure that compensation levels remain appropriate. We have not historically paid annual cash bonuses to our NEOs.

Overall, we and our Compensation Committee, are committed to the principle that executive compensation should be directly tied into value creation for our shareholders.

Historically, the Company has not experienced substantial revenues or positive cash flows, and accordingly, no annual cash bonuses have been paid to our CEO or the other NEOs. In addition, the value of stock options granted to executives are contingent upon performance of our Company’s stock, while time-based RSU granted in the past further align our executives with our shareholders by providing executives with meaningful, direct ownership stake in our stock.

Our goal is to attract and retain the best available executive talent to lead our Company. This can be challenging given the competitive environment in which we operate and considering the Company’s limited financial resources until we achieve sufficient revenues, if ever. We also strive to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders. Therefore, a substantial portion of our executives’ compensation is structured as long-term equity compensation including stock options and RSUs.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with our NEOs. Each of these agreements provides for certain payments and other benefits if the executive’s employment terminates under certain circumstances other than for “cause,” including in connection with a “change in control.” See the subsection “Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” for a description of the agreement terms impacting current compensation and “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” for a description of applicable severance and change in control benefits.

Our Compensation Committee believes that change-in-control and severance arrangements are important parts of the overall compensation program for our NEOs. Severance arrangements are used primarily to attract, retain and motivate individuals with the requisite experience and ability to drive our success. Severance arrangements also serve, in part, as consideration to secure commitments from our executive officers not to compete with us after termination of their employment.

Compensation Policies and Practices Related to Risk Management

Consistent with SEC disclosure requirements, we have evaluated the potential risks related to our compensation policies, practices and awards and have concluded that there are no risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. We do not have any programs where a participant may be able to directly affect variability or timing of payout. Rather, our compensation programs include a combination of fixed base salaries and, equity awards that are generally uniform in design and operation throughout the Company.

On February 13, 2013, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Berger. Mr. Berger’s prior employment agreement with us expired by its terms on February 9, 2013.

On December 19, 2014, Mr. Berger resigned from his positions as Chief Operating Officer, Secretary and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(1) Amounts shown in this column do not necessarily represent actual value realized from the sale of the shares acquired upon exercise of options because in many cases the shares are not sold on exercise but continue to be held by the executive officer exercising the option. The amounts shown represent the difference between the option exercise price and the market price on the date of exercise, which is the amount that would have been realized if the shares had been sold immediately upon exercise.

(2) Shares are related to the vesting of RSU awards which vested evenly on each of March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and the value realized is calculated by multiplying the number of vested shares by the closing price of our common stock on NASDAQ on the applicable vesting date.

The 2012 Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders on July 19, 2012, following the Merger, replacing Vringo’s then existing 2006 Plan. The maximum number of available common shares under the 2012 Plan is made up of the 9,100,000 previously available common shares under the 2006 Plan and 6,500,000 newly available common shares.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of April 17, 2015 for (a) each stockholder known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of our common stock (b) our NEOs, (c) each of our directors, and (d) all of our current directors and executive officers as a group.

We deem shares of common stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days of April 17, 2015 pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants, and vesting of RSUs to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group. However, such shares of common stock are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table. Except as indicated in footnotes to this table, we believe that the stockholders named in this table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown to be beneficially owned by them based on information provided to us by these stockholders.

Accordingly, our Board of Directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors as required by NASDAQ rules.  The Board has also determined that each member of the Compensation Committee, the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the independence requirements applicable to each such committee member prescribed by NASDAQ and the SEC.
