Marin Software Incorporated (NASDAQ: MRIN) (“Marin,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), a provider of digital marketing software for performance-driven advertisers and agencies, on May 21, 2025, received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the delinquency in the timely filing of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-Q”) and the Company’s continuing delinquency in filing its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) as previously communicated by Nasdaq on April 16, 2025 (the “Initial Notice”), the Company is out of compliance with 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”).
In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the date of the Initial Notice, or until June 16, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to the delinquent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings. If the plan is accepted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K, or until September 29, 2025, to regain compliance.
The Company intends to consider plans to regain compliance with the Rule. However, as previously reported, the Company’s board of directors approved the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of the Company (the “Dissolution”) and adopted a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution of the Company (the “Plan of Dissolution”), subject to stockholder approval. If the stockholders approve the Dissolution and the Company proceeds with the Dissolution in accordance with the Plan of Dissolution, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from Nasdaq.
