(1) Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (“FCA”) is offering common shares pursuant to the Fiat S.p.A. July 2004 Stock Options to CEO (the “CEO Option”), the Fiat S.p.A. November 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Fiat Stock Option”) and the Fiat S.p.A. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Fiat LTIP” and together with CEO Option and the Fiat Stock Option, the “Rollover Plans”) following the assumption by FCA of the obligations under the Rollover Plans in connection with the merger of Fiat S.p.A. (“Fiat”) with and into FCA, pursuant to the merger plan by and between FCA and Fiat, dated June 15, 2014.

(2) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover additional common shares which may become issuable by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected without consideration which results in the increase in the number of the Registrant’s outstanding commons shares.

(3) Represents the number of FCA common shares available for issuance in connection with obligations assumed by FCA under the Rollover Plans based on an exchange ratio of 1 FCA common share for each Fiat ordinary share.

(4) Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. Pursuant to Rule 457(c) and Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the proposed maximum offering price per share and proposed maximum aggregate offering price are based on the reported average of the high and low prices for the Registrant’s Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange on October 13, 2014.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

In connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of Fiat S.p.A. (“Fiat”) with and into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (“FCA”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”), pursuant to the terms of a merger plan entered into by and between FCA and Fiat, dated June 15, 2014 (the “Merger Plan”), FCA assumed the sponsorship of the Fiat November 2006 Stock Option Plan (the “Fiat Stock Option”) and the Fiat 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Fiat LTIP” and together with Fiat Stock Option, the “Fiat Plans”), and the obligations of the Fiat Plans and the Fiat July 2004 Stock Options to CEO (the “CEO Option” and together with the Fiat Plans, the “Rollover Plans”), effective as of October 12, 2014 (the “Effective Date”).

On the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Plan, each right based on a financial instrument (the “Fiat Equity Rights”) held under the Rollover Plans has been converted into an equity right (the “FCA Equity Rights”) with respect to FCA.

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued with respect to the FCA Equity Rights. The number of Common Shares to be registered is equal to all of the obligations FCA assumed from Fiat under the Rollover Plans, including the outstanding FCA Equity Rights granted thereunder.

The assumed FCA Equity Rights shall be subject to the same terms and conditions (including expiration date and exercise provisions) as were applicable to such Fiat Equity Rights prior to the Effective Date.

As of the Effective Date, (i) the Rollover Plans have been amended such that all references to Fiat shall be deemed to refer to the Company; (ii) the Rollover Plans have been amended such that all references to Fiat Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to refer to Company Common Shares; and (iii) the Fiat Plans have been amended such that all references to the Compensation Committee shall be deemed to refer to the Compensation Committee of the Board of the Company.

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article 17 of the Articles of Association of the Registrant provides that:

Pursuant to Dutch law, FCA’s directors and officers may be liable to FCA for improper or negligent performance of their duties. They may also be liable to third parties for damages in the event of bankruptcy, default on tax or social security payments, improper performance of duties, or tort. In certain circumstances, directors or officers may also incur criminal liability.

Article 18 of the FCA Articles of Association provides that:

“The company shall indemnify any and all of its directors, officers, former directors, former officers and any person who may have served at its request as a director or officer of another company in which it owns shares or of which it is a creditor, who were or are made a party or are threatened to be made a party to or are involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative (each a Proceeding), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, against any and all liabilities, damages, reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonably incurred and substantiated attorneys’ fees), financial effects of judgments, fines, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages) and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such Proceeding by any of them. Such indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled otherwise.”

The provisions of Dutch law governing the liability of directors and officers are mandatory in nature. Although Dutch law does not provide for any provisions with respect to the indemnification of directors and officers, the concept of indemnification of directors and officers of a company for liabilities arising from actions undertaken because of their position in the company is, in principle, accepted in the Netherlands.

The Group has purchased and will maintain insurance for the benefit of its directors and officers which, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse directors and officers of FCA and its subsidiaries for all costs that are incurred in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding to which such directors or officers are made party in their capacity as such or as director or officer of a company in which FCA owns shares.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

Item 8. Exhibits.

See Exhibit Index

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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-closing effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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 benefits plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this 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.

-3-

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 SEC 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.
