Marin Software Incorporated (NASDAQ:MRIN) ("Marin," "we," "our," or the "Company"), a provider of digital marketing software for performance-driven advertisers and agencies, announces that, on June 17, 2025, the Company received a notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") stating that Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not provide a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule"), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company had previously submitted a letter to Nasdaq requesting an exception to extend the Company's listing on Nasdaq for 180 days, until October 13, 2025. As a result of Nasdaq's determination, the Notice states that (i) the Company's request for continued listing on Nasdaq was denied; (ii) the Company's securities will be delisted from Nasdaq; (ii) trading of the Company's common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on June 26, 2025; and (iii) a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, unless the Company appeals these determinations. The Notice further states that the Company continues to be delinquent in the timely filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, as previously communicated by Nasdaq on April 16, 2025 and May 21, 2025, respectively.

The Company does not expect to appeal Nasdaq's determinations and expects Nasdaq to file a Form 25-NSE (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the SEC to remove the Company's common stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

Further, the Company does not currently intend to apply for its common stock to be traded on any of the markets operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. due to the associated costs and in light of both the previously announced potential transaction the Company is currently exploring whereby a private equity firm would acquire substantially all of the assets of the Company, which may be through a voluntary reorganization transaction (the "Potential Transaction"), as well as the voluntary dissolution and liquidation of the Company (the "Dissolution") that was previously approved by the Company's stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Potential Transaction will be entered into or ultimately be successful, and the Company may abandon pursuing the Potential Transaction and instead pursue the Dissolution as previously described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on May 7, 2025 (the "Proxy Statement").

For additional information regarding the Nasdaq notification and related terms, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K that the Company filed with the SEC today, which is available at www.sec.gov.
