</B>&ndash; August 10, 2020 - Acacia Research Corporation (&ldquo;we&rdquo;, &ldquo;us&rdquo;, &ldquo;our&rdquo;, &ldquo;Acacia&rdquo;
or &ldquo;the Company&rdquo;) (Nasdaq: ACTG) today reported results for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Clifford Press, Chief Executive Officer,
stated, &ldquo;We announced our first Approved Transaction, under our strategic alliance with Starboard Value LP (&ldquo;Starboard&rdquo;),
acquiring the former Woodford portfolio of life science assets for $282 million <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">from&nbsp;LF
Equity Income Fund</FONT>. To date, we have recovered approximately $185 million through the sale of <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">securities
of&nbsp;certain public&nbsp;companies in the portfolio</FONT>. Notably, the remaining positions include a 6% stake in Oxford Nanopore
and a 5% stake in Immunocore. In aggregate, our sales to date and the potential of our remaining holdings represent a strong path
to increasing book value. This transaction demonstrates our ability to navigate complex financial structures, identifying and executing
on opportunities, supported by our ready access to capital.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Press continued, &ldquo;As of the end
of the second quarter, the market value of the remaining public securities in the portfolio was approximately $50 million. The
Woodford portfolio is a mix of public and private company securities. Under GAAP, we assigned the portfolio purchase price first
to the public securities at market value, and the residual value to the private company assets. We will mark the public assets
to market each quarter, and we will adjust our carrying value in the private assets based on any observed primary or secondary
transactions in those companies&rsquo; shares or recognize any impairment.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&ldquo;During the quarter, we recognized
$63 million of non-cash cost associated with an increase in our derivative liability related to our warrants and preferred, as
our share price increased during the quarter,&rdquo; added Mr. Press. &ldquo;This brings the aggregate value of non-cash liability
associated with these warrants and embedded derivatives to a total of $95 million, or $1.93 per share. These are non-cash items,
and upon exercise or expiration, would be eliminated and booked to equity. Our current book value at June 30 is $164.7 million,
or $3.36 per share, as reduced by these liabilities.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Al Tobia, President and Chief Investment
Officer, added, &ldquo;To fund the Woodford portfolio acquisition, we issued $115 million in Senior Secured Notes to Starboard,
convertible into <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">shares of our&nbsp;common stock </FONT>at an exercise price of $3.65 per
share if exchanged with the Series B Warrants previously issued to Starboard. As we noted at that time, we intend to offer stockholders
the opportunity to invest alongside Starboard. We currently intend to commence, as soon as reasonably practicable, a Stockholder
Offering (as defined below) of up to $31.5 million of senior secured notes, <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">and warrants
to purchase shares of common stock,</FONT> to existing holders of our common stock, with substantially similar terms as the Senior
Secured Notes and Series B warrant issued to Starboard<SUP>[1]</SUP>.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Mr. Tobia continued, &ldquo;We worked on
a tight timeline to complete the Woodford portfolio purchase; however, our strategic committee continues its focus on identifying
potential operating company acquisitions. Acacia&rsquo;s liquidity and financial flexibility creates inherent advantages in today&rsquo;s
market. Acacia is&nbsp;starting to exhibit&nbsp;some of the potential of its operating&nbsp;model,&nbsp;and&nbsp;we are adding&nbsp;investment
professionals&nbsp;to build out our execution capability.&rdquo;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I>As used herein, &ldquo;GAAP&rdquo; refers
to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This earnings release includes financial measures,
including (1) non-GAAP net income and (2) non-GAAP Earnings Per Share (&ldquo;EPS&rdquo;), that are considered non-GAAP financial
measures as defined in Rule 101 of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &ldquo;SEC&rdquo;).
Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company&rsquo;s historical or future performance, financial
position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly
comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is
not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented
in accordance with GAAP.</I></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><I>Non-GAAP Net income and EPS. We define
non-GAAP net income as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus unrealized change in fair value of investments, loss
on investment, non-cash stock compensation charges and non-cash patent amortization charges. Non-GAAP EPS is defined as non-GAAP
net income divided by the weighted average outstanding shares, on a fully-diluted basis, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for
the respective reporting period. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures is available in previously disclosed
SEC filings.</I></P>

Buyers named therein, we have the option to complete one or more rights offerings to our stockholders (a &ldquo;Stockholder Offering&rdquo;)
of senior secured notes with terms substantially identical to the notes issued to Starboard, in an aggregate principal amount of
up to $100.0 million, and warrants to purchase up to 27,397,261 shares of common stock with terms substantially similar to the
Series B Warrants. As soon as reasonably practicable, the Company intends to, but has not yet to commenced, a Stockholder Offering
of up to $31.5 million of senior secured notes,&nbsp;and warrants to purchase shares of common stock,&nbsp;with substantially similar
terms as the Senior Secured Notes&nbsp;and Series B Warrants&nbsp;issued to Starboard. Additional details, including the timing
of the Stockholder Offering, are to be determined at a later date and, while the Company can provide no assurance that a Stockholder
Offering will be ultimately initiated or completed or that any holders of its common stock will exercise any such rights in connection
with the Stockholder Offering, we believe that a Stockholder Offering is not only a potential source to aid in our current capital-raising
goals, but also a means of allowing our stockholders to participate in our anticipated future growth. The description of the Stockholder
Offering is contained herein for informational purposes only and is not an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell
any securities. The Company has not yet filed a registration statement with the SEC for Stockholder Offering, but intends and expects
to do so and expects to promptly commence the Stockholder Offering as soon as practicable after the SEC declares such registration
statement effective. The Stockholder Offering will be made only by means of a prospectus that the Company intends to file with
the SEC as part of the registration statement. Such prospectus will be delivered to holders of the Company&rsquo;s common stock
as of the record date of the rights offering</I></P>

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
