YOUR PARTICIPATION IS REQUESTED
PLEASE ACT TODAY TO VOTE YOUR PROXY
April 20, 2026
Dear Digimarc Corporation Shareholder:
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Digimarc Corporation ("Digimarc" or the "Company") is fast approaching - scheduled to be held on April 30, 2026. Our recent records indicate that you have not yet voted your shares. Your vote is extremely important this year. Please vote promptly to participate in this year's important agenda and the future of your investment.
The Digimarc Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote "FOR" each proposal on the meeting agenda.
As previously mentioned, passage of Proposal 1 - Reorganization Proposal is very important for all shareholders. If approved Digimarc will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Digimarc Parent, Inc. ("Holdings"), and your shares will automatically be exchanged for the same number of shares of Holdings, which will be substantially equivalent in all material respects to the rights, powers, and economic ownership of the shares of Company common stock you currently hold.
Digimarc expects to realize substantial cash savings as a result of the reorganization. In addition, the reorganization is expected to reduce share dilution, aid the Company in attracting and retaining the key talent needed to drive and support company growth as well as provide for robust succession planning, and further align compensation with shareholder value creation.
| Just recently, both Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) and Glass, Lewis & Co., the two largest and most respected proxy advisory firms, have recommended that its clients (large institutional holders) vote "FOR" the Reorganization Proposal Proposal. |
Please vote your shares today. Internet and telephone voting are available to promptly register your vote. Please follow the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction form sent to you in order to vote electronically.
If you need assistance voting your shares, please contact our proxy solicitor, D.F. King & Co., Inc., toll-free at (877) 674-6273.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your participation and continued support.
Sincerely,
/s/ Katie Kool
Katie Kool
Chairman, Digimarc Corporation Board of Directors
