ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K/A


FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 3, 2015


Explanatory Note to Amendment No. 1


Blackhawk Network Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment No.1”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2015 (the “Original Form 10-K”), (i) to indicate on the cover page that the Company was a well-known seasoned issuer at the time of filing the Original Form 10-K; and (ii) to add the internal control over financial reporting language in the introductory portion of paragraph 4 and 4(b) of the certifications of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”), which were inadvertently omitted from the 302 Certifications attached to the Original Form 10-K.  Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment No.1, paragraph 3 of the Section 302 Certifications has been omitted. The corrected 302 Certifications are attached to this Amendment No. l as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2. The Company has not included as exhibits the certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.


Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Amendment No.1 continues to speak as of the date of the Original Form 10-K, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Form 10-K.  Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K. The filing of this Amendment No. 1 is not an admission that the Original Form 10-K, when filed, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make a statement not misleading.
