Solicitation

Digimarc solicits proxies by mail and by direct contact to eligible shareholders. Besides this solicitation by mail, our directors, officers, and other employees may solicit proxies. These persons will not receive any additional compensation for assisting in the solicitation. We will also request that brokerage firms, nominees, custodians, and fiduciaries forward proxy materials to the beneficial owners. We will reimburse these persons and our transfer agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding these materials. Digimarc will bear the cost of soliciting proxies.

Vote Required: Treatment of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions are shares that abstain from voting on a particular matter. Broker non-votes occur when shares are held in “street name” by brokers or nominees who indicate on their proxies that they did not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and do not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes count as being present for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at a meeting but are not counted for purposes of determining the number of votes cast for or against a proposal.

The following chart describes the proposals to be considered at the meeting, the vote required to elect directors and to adopt each proposal, and the manner in which votes will be counted:
