Context

• These were award grants (A). The subsequent surrender of shares (F) is a common method to satisfy tax withholding on vested equity and is not the same as an open-market sale.
• The filing includes a corporate reorganization note: on May 15, 2026, Digimarc Parent, Inc. (renamed Digimarc Corporation) became the parent holding company of the previous Digimarc Corporation; the change did not alter security holders’ proportional interests.
