<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This news release contains forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the &ldquo;safe harbor&rdquo; provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These statements are based upon our current expectations and speak only as of the date hereof. Our actual results may differ materially
and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors and uncertainties, including
the ability to successfully implement our strategic plan, the ability to successfully build out a new leadership team within a
certain timeframe, the ability to streamline financial reporting, the ability to successfully develop licensing programs and attract
new business, changes in demand for current and future intellectual property rights, legislative, regulatory and competitive developments
addressing licensing and enforcement of patents and/or intellectual property in general, general economic conditions and the success
of our investments. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent and forthcoming Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, recent Current Reports
on Form 8-K, and any amendments to the forgoing, and other SEC filings discuss some of the important risk factors that may affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition. We undertake no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking

quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved by us in any subsequent quarters, as it is currently anticipated
that Acacia Research Corporation&rsquo;s financial results will vary, and may vary significantly, from quarter to quarter. This
variance is expected to result from a number of factors, including risk factors affecting our results of operations and financial
condition referenced above, and the particular structure of our licensing transactions, which may impact the amount of inventor
royalties and contingent legal fees expenses we incur from period to period.</P>
