Explanation of Responses:

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.
