DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statements on Form S-8 (each, a “Registration Statement,” and collectively, the “Registration Statements”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by New Relic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”):

On November 8, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated July 30, 2023, by and among the Registrant, Crewline Buyer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and Crewline Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) were consummated. On the Closing Date, (i) Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company, (ii) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased to exist and (iii) the Registrant continued as the surviving corporation of the foregoing merger (the “Merger”).

As a result of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered under the Registration Statements that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant hereby removes from registration all securities registered but unsold or otherwise unissued under such Registration Statements, if any, as of the date hereof, and the Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
