Explanation of Responses:
1. 192,000 LTIP units of Digimarc LLC were granted to Ron Thomas under the Digimarc Corporation 2018 Incentive Plan. LTIP units are convertible, subject to appreciation and vesting requirements, into common units of Digimarc LLC redeemable for an equal number of shares of the issuer's common stock or, at the issuer's election, cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. 57,600 LTIP units vest in sixteen equal quarterly installments over four years, subject to continued service. The remaining 134,400 LTIP units vest upon achievement of stock price annual appreciation goals of 20%, 30%, and 40%, with one-third of such units associated with each goal and minimum vesting periods of two, three, and four years, respectively. Vesting may accelerate upon certain events including termination.
