tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action: "tax-withholding disposition" for code F entries"

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.

grant/award acquisition financial

"transaction_action: "grant/award acquisition" for code A entries"

Common Stock financial

"security_title: "Common Stock" in each non-derivative transaction"

Common stock represents ownership shares in a company, giving investors a stake in its success and a say in important decisions through voting rights. It is the most common type of stock traded on markets and can provide income through dividends, as well as potential for value growth. For investors, holding common stock means sharing in the company’s profits and risks.

vested stock awards financial

"Shares traded back to the Company to cover tax liability for vested stock awards."

Form 4 regulatory

"INSIDER FILING DATA (Form 4)"

Form 4 is a official document that company insiders, such as executives or major shareholders, file with regulators whenever they buy or sell company shares. It provides transparency about how those with inside knowledge are trading, helping investors see if insiders are confident in the company's prospects or may be selling for personal reasons. This information can influence investor decisions by revealing insiders' perspectives on the company's value.

Remarks:

On May 15, 2026, Digimarc Parent, Inc. (which subsequently changed its name to Digimarc Corporation) ("New Digimarc") became the successor of Digimarc Corporation (which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Digimarc and was converted to an Oregon limited liability company) ("Old Digimarc") pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, including an agreement and plan of merger attached thereto. The merger and reorganization resulted in New Digimarc's becoming a parent holding company of Old Digimarc, but did not alter the proportionate interests of security holders.
