Executive Summary
Digimarc Corporation completed its previously announced reorganization into a holding company structure on May 15, 2026. Under the plan, the company merged with a wholly owned subsidiary of newly formed Digimarc Parent, Inc. (Holdings), with Digimarc surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings and subsequently converting into an Oregon LLC named Digimarc LLC. All outstanding shares of Digimarc common stock were exchanged on a one-for-one basis for shares of Holdings common stock, which continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol DMRC, with the listed entity name changing to 'Digimarc Parent, Inc.' effective May 19, 2026. The reorganization is a structural change with no impact on the company's consolidated assets, liabilities, or shareholders' equity, and no change in control, management, or board composition occurred.
