Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay versus Performance Table As required by section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship between “compensation actually paid,” herein referred to as “CAP” to our CEO and our other named executive officers (“NEOs”) as compared to the Company’s total shareholder return and our GAAP net income. As a Smaller Reporting Company, the following table provides compensation and performance information for the past three fiscal years. 2023 Pay Versus Performance Table

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return | Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance Measures The Pay versus Performance table above and the charts below illustrate the following:
| ● | CAP to our current CEO and average NEO has tracked with our TSR performance because CAP values reflect changes in the value of executives’ outstanding equity holdings, which fluctuate with changes in our stock price. In 2023, for our CEO and other NEOs, CAP values as compared to grant-date SCT values show direct alignment with TSR. In particular, the year-end value of awards granted in 2023 increased relative to the grant date value because of the combined effects of the increase in our stock price and future estimated payouts of financial-driven PRSU awards. In addition, the value of unvested awards granted in prior years increased due to our strong market performance. Finally, CAP was also higher in 2023 due to strong performance on financial and strategic objectives within our annual incentive plan.
| ● | GAAP net income as a performance measure does not link directly to CAP or grant-date SCT compensation and is similarly not used in our incentive plans. GAAP net income may experience significant fluctuations caused by accounting requirements such as costs relating to non-cash and/or one-time charges. For instance, the GAAP net loss in 2023 includes the impact of severance costs from organizational changes we made at the beginning of 2023. When considering key measures of performance for our Company from 2022 to 2023, we note that Digimarc’s ending ARR increased by over 70%, subscription revenue increased 25%, subscription gross profit margins expanded from 75% to 84%, operating expenses decreased 11%, and free cash flow usage was cut by more than half.
