Item 1.01 |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 5, 2015, Marin Software
Incorporated (Marin Software) entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (Agreement) with Social Moov, Social Moovs securityholders and Sylvain Eche, as Shareholders Agent. The Agreement
provides that the acquisition will be accomplished by Marin Software purchasing all outstanding shares of capital stock of Social Moov from Social Moovs shareholders, with Social Moov surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Marin Software
(the Share Purchase).
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Marin Software has agreed to
acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Social Moov for an aggregate of $18.75 million in cash and shares of Marin Softwares common stock (Common Stock). This amount is subject to adjustment based on Social
Moovs net working capital, net cash and unpaid transaction costs at closing (as adjusted, the Total Purchase Consideration). The number of shares of Common Stock comprising the portion of the Total Purchase
Consideration to be issued in the form of Common Stock is based on the average daily closing sales price of Marin Software Common Stock as reported on NYSE for the 10 consecutive trading days ending two trading days prior to February 5, 2015
(the Average Stock Price). The Total Purchase Consideration is comprised as follows:
|
|
|
Up to $8.0 million (the Closing Cash) of the Total Purchase Consideration will be paid in the form of cash at the closing of the Share Purchase (the Closing), of which
$1.875 million of the Closing Cash (the Escrow Cash) shall be deposited into an escrow fund. |
|
|
|
Up to $4.375 million of the Total Purchase Consideration will be paid in the form of a number of shares Marin Software Common Stock equal to such amount divided by the Average Stock Price (the Closing Common
Stock). Of the Closing Common Stock, a number of shares equal to $1.875 million divided by the Average Stock Price will be subject to a lock up period pursuant to which none of such shares may be sold prior to the nine-month
anniversary of the Closing date. |
|
|
|
On each of the one- and two-year anniversaries of closing, up to $3.1875 million of the Total Purchase Consideration will be paid in the form of Marin Software Common Stock, with the number of shares equal to such
amounts divided by the Average Stock Price. |
The Company also paid approximately $600,000 of Social Moovs expenses
incurred in connection with the Share Purchase. In addition, Marin Software expects to grant continuing Social Moov employees equity retention grants with a total value of up to $2 million following the closing.
Pursuant to the Agreement, following the Closing, securityholders of Social Moov have agreed to indemnify Marin Software for losses related to
certain matters, including, among other things, failures of representations or warranties of Social Moov contained in the Agreement to be true and correct, failure by Social Moov to perform or comply with any covenant applicable to it contained in
the Agreement, and other specified matters. As partial security for such indemnification obligations, the parties agreed to deposit the Escrow Cash into an escrow fund.
The Agreement contains customary covenants of Marin Software and Social Moov, including, among other things, a covenant by Social Moov to
conduct its business in the ordinary course between the execution of the Agreement and consummation of the Share Purchase and not to engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period.
The Agreement contemplates that the issuance of shares of Common Stock as part of the Total Purchase Consideration would be exempt from
registration under federal securities laws by virtue of the exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The Agreement
contains a covenant by Marin Software to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3 within two business days after the date on which Marin Software has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K to register the resale of certain share of Common Stock to be
issued as part of the Total Purchase Consideration.
The Agreement contains customary representations and warranties of each of Marin Software and
Social Moov. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Agreement, and such representations and warranties should not be relied on by any other
person. In addition, such representations and warranties (1) have been qualified by disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged in connection with the execution of the Agreement, (2) are subject to the materiality standards set
forth in the Agreement, which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors, (3) in certain cases, were made as of a specific date, and (4) may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the respective parties
rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and
warranties may change after the date of the execution of the Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

employment is terminated by the Post-Closing Employer without Cause or such Founder terminates his or her employment for Good Reason, then the number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable under this Section 1.3(b)(i) shall nevertheless be
issued to such Founder within 10 Business Days following the date of such termination.

10 Business Days following the date of such termination.
(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of one
Founders employment shall have no bearing on the right of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable under this Section 1.3(b) to the other Founders.
(iv) In the event that after the Closing and prior to the one-year anniversary or two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, as
applicable, (A) Acquirer sells, transfers or assigns all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the Company Spin-Off) to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Acquirer (the Future Acquiring

of the Closing Date and (y) Milestone 2 Stock Consideration if the Company Sale occurs after the one-year anniversary prior to the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, on the terms and as set forth in this Section 1.3(b), except that

Excess, then within five Business Days after such calculation has been completed, Acquirer shall pay to each Company Securityholder an amount equal to (A) the Post-Closing Received AR multiplied by (B) each Company Securityholders
Consideration Pro Rata Share and concurrently with such payment provide a notice to each Company Securityholder setting forth Acquirers calculations pursuant to this Section 1.3(c); and
(ii) at the Closing Date, there is not a Closing Net Working Capital Excess, then Acquirer shall pay to each Company
Securityholder an amount equal to (A) the sum of (1) the Post-Closing Received AR plus the Company Net Working Capital minus (2) the Closing Net Working Capital Upper Target multiplied by (B) each Company Securityholders
Consideration Pro Rata Share and concurrently with such payment provide a notice to each Company Securityholder setting forth Acquirers calculations pursuant to this Section 1.3(c), provided, that, if the amount set forth subclause

grant that the Company receiving during such 90-day period received directly resulting from the grant application for the Project Contads R&D from the French Administration (the Project Contads R&D Amount). To the

received the Project Contads R&D Amount, then within five Business Days after 90 days after the Closing, Acquirer shall pay to each Company Securityholder an amount equal to (x) the Project Contads R&D Amount multiplied by (y) each

Contads Amount,), the payment hereunder shall be based on the Accurate Project Contads Amount. In the event the Company Securityholders disagree with the Accurate Project Contads Amount, the Shareholders Agent shall provide
written notice to Acquirer within 30 days after receipt of payment for the Accurate Project Contads Amount from Acquirer, and any such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in Sections 1.6(d) and (e).
(e) Treatment of Company Common Stock Owned by the Company. At the Closing, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the
Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Closing shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment of any cash or other property or consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
6
(f) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend
(including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock or Acquirer Common Stock occurring
after the Agreement Date and prior to the Closing, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or
trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.
(g) Rights Not Transferable. The rights of
the Company Securityholders under this Agreement as of immediately prior to the Closing are personal to each such Company Securityholder and shall not be transferable for any reason, other than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and
distribution without action taken by or on behalf of such Company Securityholder. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (other than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.
(h) Fractional Shares. The number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock into which a Company Shareholders shares of Company Common
Stock are converted pursuant to this Article I shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock to which any Company Shareholder would otherwise be
entitled (after aggregating, for each particular stock certificate representing Company Common Stock, all fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock to be received by such holder), such Company Shareholder shall receive from Acquirer an amount in
cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Acquirer Stock Price.
(i) No
Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no interest shall accumulate on any cash payable in connection with the consummation of the Share Purchase and the other Transactions.
1.4 Payment and Exchange Procedures.

(ii) Any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the shares of
Acquirer Common Stock to be issued pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and Section 1.3(b) shall bear the following legends to the extent applicable (along with any other legends that may be required under Applicable Law):
(1) THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(SECURITIES ACT), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(2) THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF REPURCHASE
AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY.
It is Acquirers current policy not to
issue stock certificates representing shares of its capital stock, and all new issuances of capital stock are reflected on Acquirers books and records in book entry only, with appropriate notations reflecting the applicable legends.
(iii) Acquirer will (A) on the Closing Date, initiate a wire transfer to each Company shareholder of funds equal to the
aggregate amount of cash payable to such Company Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) and (B) on the Closing Date, provide an executed instruction letter to Computershare, Acquirers transfer agent, directing Computershare to
issue to each Company Shareholder the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable to such Company Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i), less, in the case of a Founder, such Founders Escrow Pro Rata Share of the Cash
Escrow Amount.
(b) Escrow Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the other provisions of this Article I, Acquirer
shall withhold from each Founders applicable portion of the Cash Consideration issuable to such Founder pursuant to Section 1.3(a) such Founders Escrow Pro Rata Share of the Cash Escrow Amount and shall deposit the Cash Escrow
Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 9.1. The Escrow Fund shall constitute partial security for the benefit of Acquirer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the

(c) Lock-up Agreement. Each Company Shareholders Consideration Pro Rata Share of the Restricted Stock (the Base
Shares), together with any additional shares of Acquirer Common Stock that may be issued from time to time on the Base Shares, including without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
reorganization, or the like (the Additional Shares and, together with the Base Shares, the Lock-Up Shares), shall be subject to the restrictions and obligations set forth in this
Section 1.4(c). For the avoidance of doubt, dividends declared on Acquirer Common Stock in the form of cash or property (other than shares of Acquirer Common Stock) shall not be subject to the restrictions and obligations set forth in this
Section 1.4(c) and shall be distributed to the Company Shareholders concurrently with their distribution to the other stockholders of Acquirer.
(i) Each Company Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Acquirer offer, sell, pledge,
contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any Lock-Up Shares or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Lock-Up Shares (each of the foregoing referred to as a
8
Disposition) for a period from the date hereof until such restrictions and obligations have lapsed, as provided in the following sentence. The restrictions and
obligations on the Lock-Up Shares set forth in this Section 1.4(c)(i) shall lapse and be of no further force on the date that is nine months following the Closing Date (the Lapse Date). The foregoing restrictions are
expressly intended to preclude each Company Shareholder from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition even if the securities would be disposed of by
someone other than the Company Shareholder. Hedging Transaction means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with
respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Lock-Up Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company Shareholder may transfer any or all
of the Lock-Up Shares (A) to an immediate family member or a trust formed for the direct or indirect benefit of such Company Shareholder or an immediate family member of such Company Shareholder, (B) by gift, will or intestacy, (C) to
any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held by such Company Shareholder or the immediate family of such Company Shareholder, (D) if such Company Shareholder
is a corporation, partnership or other business entity (1) to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that is a controlled or managed affiliate of such Company Shareholder or (2) as part of a disposition, transfer or
distribution such Company Shareholder to its equity holders, partners, members or affiliates or any of its affiliates directors, officers and employees or (E) if such Company Shareholder is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the
trust; provided, however, that, in each such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Lock-Up Shares subject to the provisions of
this Section 1.4(c)(i), and there shall be no further transfer of such Lock-Up Shares except in accordance with this Section 1.4(c)(i). For purposes of the foregoing, immediate family means any relationship by blood, marriage,
domestic partnership or adoption, no more remote than a first cousin.
(ii) Without limiting the restrictions or obligations in this
Section 1.4(c), any Disposition by the Company Shareholder shall remain at all times subject to applicable securities laws, including without limitation the resale restrictions imposed by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act.
(iii) Acquirer may place an appropriate restrictive legend on the stock certificates representing the Lock-Up Shares issued to the Company
Shareholder to indicate that such shares are subject to the terms of this Section 1.4(c). Acquirer agrees that it will (or will instruct the transfer agent for Acquirer to) promptly remove such restrictive legend upon the earlier to occur of
(1) the Lapse Date or (2) the termination of this Section 1.4(c) pursuant to its terms or (B) as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement. Acquirer may, and each Company Shareholder will, with respect to any Lock-Up
Shares, cause the transfer agent for Acquirer to note stop transfer instructions with respect to the Lock-Up Shares on the transfer books and records of Acquirer.
(iv) This Section 1.4(c) shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of:
(A) immediately prior to the consummation of (1) any acquisition or purchase from Acquirer by any Person or Group of a 50% or more
interest in the total outstanding voting securities of Acquirer, (2) any merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange or similar transaction involving Acquirer pursuant to which the stockholders of Acquirer immediately preceding
such transaction will hold securities representing less than 50% of the total outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction (or parent entity of such surviving or resulting entity), (3) any sale, lease,
exchange, transfer, exclusive license or disposition of assets (including capital stock or
9
other ownership interests in subsidiaries) representing 50% or more of the aggregate fair market value of the consolidated assets of Acquirer and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or
(4) any spin-off, spin-out, split-up, carve-out or similar event pursuant to which assets representing 50% or more of either the aggregate fair market value of the assets of the Company as of the Closing Date or the business of the Company as
of the Closing Date will be transferred in one or more transactions;
(B) immediately prior to the consummation of any tender offer or
exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or Group beneficially owning securities representing 50% or more of the total outstanding voting power of Acquirer (provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, each Company
Shareholder will be entitled to submit Lock-Up Shares for such tender offer or exchange offer if he or she so chooses; provided, further, that if such tender offer or exchange offer is not subsequently closed, the Lock-Up Shares are
not accepted for purchase, or the Company Shareholder otherwise withdraws such shares from such tender offer or exchange offer, then any Lock-Up Shares submitted for such tender offer or exchange offer shall again become subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 1.4(c)); or
(C) (1) the filing of a petition by or against Acquirer under any chapter of the Bankruptcy
Reform Act, Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, or under any similar law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, (2) appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator
of or for all or any part of the assets or property of Acquirer, (3) the insolvency of Acquirer, or (4) the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors by Acquirer.
(d) Transfers of Ownership. If any cash amount or share of Acquirer Common Stock payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a) is
to be paid or issued to a Person other than the Company Shareholder to which the shares of Company Common Stock is registered in the Companys books and records, it shall be a condition of the payment or issuance thereof that such shares of
Company Common Stock shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange shall have paid to Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of
the payment of cash or issuance of shares of Acquirer Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of such shares of Company Common Stock, or established to the satisfaction of Acquirer or any agent designated by Acquirer that
such Tax has been paid or is not payable.
(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.4, no
party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.
(f) Unclaimed Consideration. Each Company Shareholder who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and
contemplated by this Section 1.4 shall look only to Acquirer (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar Applicable Law) for its claim, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof, to any portion of the Purchase Consideration payable
or issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a).
1.5 No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Common Stock or Company Warrants. The
applicable portion of the Purchase Consideration paid or payable and issued or issuable in accordance with this Agreement shall be paid or payable or issued or issuable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common
Stock, and, subject to Section 1.2(b)(xxii), there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.

1.6 Company Net Working Capital and Company Net Cash Adjustments.
(a) Pursuant to Section 6.11, the Company shall deliver the Company Closing Financial Certificate to Acquirer not later than five Business
Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b) Within 90 days after the Closing, Acquirer may object to the calculation of Company Net Working
Capital and/or Company Net Cash, as the case may be, included in the Company Closing Financial Certificate (the NWC Calculations) by delivering to the Shareholders Agent a notice (the Acquirer NWC
Notice) setting forth Acquirers calculation of Company Net Working Capital and/or Company Net Cash and the amount by which Company Net Working Capital and/or Company Net Cash, as applicable, as calculated by Acquirer is less than
that as set forth in the Company Closing Financial Certificate, in each case together with supporting documentation, information and calculations.
(c) The Shareholders Agent may object to the calculation of Company Net Working Capital or Company Net Cash set forth in the Acquirer NWC
Notice by providing written notice of such objection to Acquirer within 20 days after Acquirers delivery of the Acquirer NWC Notice (the Notice of Objection), together with supporting documentation, information and
calculations. Any matters not expressly set forth in the Notice of Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Shareholders Agent on behalf of the Company Securityholders.
(d) If the Shareholders Agent timely provides the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer and the Shareholders Agent shall confer in
good faith for a period of up to 10 Business Days following Acquirers timely receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing
and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Company Securityholders.
(e) If, after the 10 Business Day period set forth
in Section 1.6(d), Acquirer and the Shareholders Agent cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Acquirer shall select one of Deloitte, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers or Ernst & Young, so long as such
independent audit firm is not then performing services for Acquirer (the Reviewing Accountant), to review only the matters in the Notice of Objection that are still disputed by Acquirer and the Shareholders Agent and
the NWC Calculations to the extent relevant thereto. After such review and a review of the Companys relevant books and records, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days following its engagement) determine the
resolution of such remaining disputed matters, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Company Securityholders, and the Reviewing Accountant shall provide Acquirer and the Shareholders Agent with a
calculation of Company Net Working Capital or Company Net Cash, as applicable, in accordance with such determination. The Reviewing Accountant shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) in accordance with Article 1592 of the French Civil Code
in making its determination which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement and, without prejudice to any other rights which they may respectively have under this Agreement, the parties to this
Agreement expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any rights of recourse they may otherwise have to challenge it.
(f) If the sum
of (x) Company Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(b), Section 1.6(d) and/or Section 1.6(e), as the case may be (the Final Net Working Capital), plus (y) the
Closing Net Working Capital Shortfall, if any, is less than the Closing Net Working Capital Lower Target (such difference, the Final Net Working Capital Shortfall), then the Company Securityholders shall severally but not
jointly indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer without any dispute by the Shareholders Agent, for the full amount of:
(i) the Final Net Working Capital Shortfall; and
11
(ii) all fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant to be paid by the
Company Securityholders pursuant to Section 1.6(h)(ii) or Section 1.6(h) (iii), if any.
(g) If the sum of (x) Company Net
Cash as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6(b), Section 1.6(d) and/or Section 1.6(e), as the case may be (the Final Net Cash), plus (y) the Closing Net Cash Shortfall, if any, is less than
the Closing Net Cash Target (such difference, the Final Net Cash Shortfall), then the Company Securityholders shall severally but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Acquirer without any dispute by the
Shareholders Agent, for the full amount of:
(i) the Final Net Cash Shortfall; and
(ii) all fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant to be paid by the Company Securityholders pursuant to
Section 1.6(h) (ii) or Section 1.6(h) (iii), if any.
(h) The fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be
paid (i) by Acquirer in the event the difference between the Final Net Working Capital or Final Net Cash, as applicable, as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 1.6(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the
Acquirer NWC Notice (such difference, the Acquirers Difference) is greater than the difference between the Final Net Working Capital or Final Net Cash, as applicable, as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant
to Section 1.6(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Notice of Objection (such difference, the Shareholders Agents Difference), (ii) by the Company Securityholders if the Acquirers
Difference is less than the Shareholders Agents Difference or (iii) equally by Acquirer on the one hand, and the Company Securityholders on the other hand, if the Acquirers Difference is the same as the Shareholders
Agents Difference.
(i) Acquirers right to indemnification pursuant to this Section 1.6 will not be subject to any of the
limitations set forth in Article IX. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law.
1.7 Tax Consequences. Acquirer, the Company and the Company Securityholders acknowledge that the Share Purchase is intended to be a
taxable purchase of shares for U.S. income tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquirer makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any Company Securityholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Share Purchase, or any of the
Tax consequences to the Company or any Company Securityholder of this Agreement, the Share Purchase or the other Transactions or the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Company and the Company
Securityholders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Share Purchase and the other Transactions and the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement.

interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the applicable Company Securityholder when due (provided that the stamp duty applicable to the transfer of the shares of Company Common Stock equal to 0.1% of the
consideration to be received by a Company Securityholder in the Transaction shall be paid by Acquirer), and such Company Securityholder shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such
transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.
1.9 Withholding Rights. Each of Acquirer and the
Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments of cash or issuances of Acquirer Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement to any Key Employee, any Continuing Employee or any holder of any shares of Company Common Stock
12
or Company Warrants, such amounts in cash and/or shares of Acquirer Common Stock as Acquirer or the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments or issuances under
the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid or issued, as applicable, to such
Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
1.10 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any
time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Company with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, rights,
privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers of the Company are fully authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long
as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such inaccuracy or breach.
9.3 Indemnifiable Damage Threshold; Other Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnified Person may make a claim against the Escrow Fund in respect of any
claim for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the matters listed in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 9.2(a) (other than claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (i) fraud,
intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by or on behalf of the Company or such Company Securityholder or (ii) any failure of any of the Special Representations to be true and correct as aforesaid) unless and until a Claim
Certificate (together with any other concurrently delivered Claim Certificates) describing Indemnifiable Damages in an aggregate amount greater than $85,000 (the Basket) has been delivered, in which case the Indemnified
Person may make claims for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement and may receive cash equal to the Indemnifiable Damages in one or more Claim Certificates from the Escrow Fund for all Indemnifiable Damages (including the amount of the
Basket). The Basket shall not apply to any other Indemnifiable Damages or claims therefor.
(b) If the Share Purchase is consummated,
recovery from the Escrow Fund shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnity obligations of each Company Securityholder under this Agreement for Indemnifiable Damages (and not specific performance or other equitable remedies)
arising out of, relating to or in connection with the matters listed in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 9.2(a), except (i) in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by or on behalf of the Company or
such Company Securityholder and (ii) any failure of any of the representations and warranties made by (A) the Company in Section 2.2 (Capital Structure), Section 2.3 (Authority; Non-contravention), Section 2.8 (Title to,
Condition and Sufficiency of Assets), Section 2.9 (Intellectual Property), Section 2.10 (Taxes), Section 2.11(f) (Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Matters) or Section 2.16 (Transaction Fees), (B) the Company in any
certificate delivered to Acquirer pursuant to this Agreement that are within the scope of those covered by the foregoing Sections or (C) of any of the representations and warranties made by a Company Securityholder in Article III (collectively,
the Special Representations) to be true and correct as aforesaid.
(c) In the case of any claims for
Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the failure of (x) any of the Special Representations (other than those in Section 2.8 (Title to, Condition and Sufficiency of Assets), Section 2.9
(Intellectual Property), Section 2.10 (Taxes) and Section 2.11(f) (Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Matters)) to be true and correct as aforesaid or the matters listed in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (ix) of
Section 9.2(a) (collectively, Fundamental Claims), or (y) Section 2.8 (Title to, Condition and Sufficiency of Assets), Section 2.9 (Intellectual Property), Section 2.10 (Taxes) and
Section 2.11(f) (Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Matters)) be true and correct as aforesaid or the matters listed in clauses (vi), (vii) (viii) or (x)) of Section 9.2(a) (collectively, the Partial Fundamental
Claims), after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims upon all amounts of cash held in the Escrow Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement from the Escrow Fund made
by Indemnified Persons), each Company Securityholder shall have Liability for such Company Shareholders Consideration Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) the total Liability of the Company Securityholder for Fundamental Claims shall be limited to the aggregate amount of cash and the
62
aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock payable and issuable, respectively, to the Company Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.3(a), (ii) the total Liability of the Company
Securityholder for Partial Fundamental Claims shall be limited to 50% of the aggregate amount of cash and 60% of the aggregate number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock payable and issuable, respectively, to the Company Shareholder pursuant to
Section 1.3(a), and (iii) any limitation of Liability in this Section 9.3(c) shall not apply in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by or on behalf of the Company or such Company Securityholder.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amounts that an Indemnified Person recovers from the Escrow Fund pursuant to
Partial Fundamental Claims or Fundamental Claims shall not reduce the amount that an Indemnified Person may recover with respect to claims that are not Partial Fundamental Claims or Fundamental Claims. By way of illustration and not limitation,
assuming there are no other claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, in the event that Indemnifiable Damages resulting from a Partial Fundamental Claim or Fundamental Claim are first satisfied from the Escrow Fund and such recovery
fully depletes the Escrow Fund, the maximum amount recoverable by an Indemnified Person pursuant to a subsequent claim that is not a Partial Fundamental Claim or Fundamental Claim shall continue to be the full dollar value of the Escrow Fund
irrespective of the fact that the Escrow Fund was used to satisfy such Fundamental Claim, such that the amount recoverable for such two claims would be the same regardless of the chronological order in which they were made.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) no Company Securityholder shall have any right of indemnification,
compensation, reimbursement, contribution or right of advancement from Acquirer, the Company or any other Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages claimed by any Indemnified Person or any right of subrogation against the Company
with respect to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement of an Indemnified Person by reason of any of the matters set forth in Section 9.2(a), (ii) the rights and remedies of the Indemnified Persons after the Closing shall not be
limited by (x) any investigation by or on behalf of, or disclosure to (other than in the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (x) of Section 9.2(a), subject to any limitations expressly set forth
therein), any Indemnified Person at or prior to the Closing regarding any failure, breach or other event or circumstance or (y) any waiver of any condition to the Closing related thereto, (iii) if an Indemnified Persons claim under
this Article VIII may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this Article VIII such that such claim may or may not be subject to different limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnified Person shall have
the right to characterize such claim in a manner that maximizes the recovery and time to assert such claim permitted in accordance with this Article VIII and (iv) no Company Securityholder, other than a Founder as a result of their contribution
to the Cash Escrow Amount, shall be liable for the breach of any covenant of another Company Securityholder or any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by or on behalf of any Person other than the Company or such Company
Securityholder; provided that nothing herein shall limit the liability of a Company Securityholder for any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct by or on behalf of the Company or such Company Securityholder.
(f) All Indemnifiable Damages shall be subject to the following adjustments:
(i) All Indemnifiable Damages shall be calculated net of the amount of any actual recoveries actually received by an
Indemnified Person prior to the Escrow Release Date under any existing insurance policies and contractual indemnification or contribution provisions (in each case, calculated net of any actual collection costs and reserves, expenses, deductibles or
premium adjustments or retrospectively rated premiums (as determined in good faith by an Indemnified Person) incurred or paid to procure such recoveries) in respect of any Indemnifiable Damages suffered, paid, sustained or incurred by any
Indemnified Person; provided, that, no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any such recoveries.
63
(ii) Any amounts for the provision or reserve explicitly specified as a line item
in the Financial Statements for events that give rise to the Indemnifiable Damages shall be, after deduction of the tax consequences of its reversal for Acquirer or the Company or its Subsidiaries, deducted from amounts payable to Acquirer for such
Indemnifiable Damages.
(g) No Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) shall be awarded to any Indemnified Person solely
to the extent that such Indemnifiable Damages are directly the result of a change in Applicable Law, the Accounting Principles or US GAAP that becomes effective after the Closing Date.
9.4 Period for Claims. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.4, the period (the Claims Period)
during which claims may be made (i) against the Escrow Fund for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the matters listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to
any of the Special Representations) shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the Escrow Release Date and (ii) for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with all other matters,
including Fundamental Claims, shall commence at the Closing and terminate at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is 30 days following (A) in the case of claims for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with
(I) the failure of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in Section 2.10 (Taxes) to be true and correct as aforesaid or (II) Pre-Closing Taxes, the date that is the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations (in both France and the United Kingdom) following the Closing and (B) in all other cases, the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such portion of the Escrow
Fund at the Escrow Release Date subject to an outstanding Claim Certificate and necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Damages specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to the Shareholders Agent on or
prior to the Escrow Release Date shall remain in the Escrow Fund until such claims for Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied. The availability of the Escrow Fund to indemnify, compensate or reimburse the Indemnified Persons will be
determined without regard to any right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that any Company Securityholder may have in his, her or its capacity as an officer, employee or agent of the Company and no such Company Securityholder will be
entitled to any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement from the Company for amounts paid for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article IX.
9.5 Claims.
(a) From
time to time during the Claims Period, Acquirer may deliver to the Shareholders Agent one or more certificates signed by any officer of Acquirer (each, a Claim Certificate):
(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur,
pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages (or that with respect to any Tax matters, that any Tax Authority may raise such matter in audit of Acquirer or its subsidiaries, that could give rise to Indemnifiable Damages);
64
(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of
Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Acquirer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and
(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Acquirer) the individual items of such
Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.
(b)
Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Acquirer as of the date thereof, (ii) shall not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying
facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Acquirer by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, provided that the delivery of the original Claim
Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable
Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto shall remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim
Certificate within the applicable Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Persons rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Shareholders Agent or the Company Securityholders are materially prejudiced thereby.
Acquirer acknowledges that if (A) Acquirer fails to respond to a Third Party Claim by a deadline required pursuant to Applicable Law or a deadline established by the court in which the Third Party Claim was filed (the Third Party
Claim Deadline), (B) such failure to respond by the Third Party Claim Deadline results in (1) a default by Acquirer with respect to the amount claimed in the Third Party Claim, which default prevents Acquirer from contesting
the Third Party Claim, (2) judgment entered in favor of the third party in the Third Party Claim and (3) such judgment is final and Acquirer has no ability to appeal such judgment, and (C) Acquirer did not provide a Claim Certificate
to the Shareholders Agent prior to the Third Party Claim Deadline, then such failure to provide notice shall be deemed to have materially prejudiced the Shareholders Agent within the meaning of this Section 9.5(b).
(c) Solely with respect to Claim Certificates asserting Indemnifiable Damages with a value greater than $500,000, Acquirer shall deliver such
Claim Certificates within 120 days following the date on which Acquirer had actual knowledge of all facts that necessary for Acquirer to make a determination that Acquirer could make a claim for all such Indemnifiable Damages.
9.6 Resolution of Objections to Claims.
(a) If the Shareholders Agent does not contest, by written notice to Acquirer, any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim
Certificate within the 30-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then the Escrow Agent shall, upon Acquirers direction and concurrently with notification to the Shareholders Agent, distribute to Acquirer an amount of cash
from the Escrow Fund having a total value equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.
(b) If the Shareholders Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Acquirer made in any Claim Certificate within the 30-day
period set forth in Section 9.6(a), Acquirer and the Shareholders Agent shall attempt in good faith for 60 days after Acquirers receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Acquirer and the Shareholders
Agent shall so agree, a joint written instruction setting forth such agreement shall be prepared, signed by both parties and delivered to the Escrow Agent. Upon receipt of such instruction, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to Acquirer an amount of
cash from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such joint written instruction.
65
(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the 60-day period for good faith negotiation set
forth in Section 9.6(b), but in any event upon the expiration of such 60-day period, either Acquirer or the Shareholders Agent may bring an arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 10.11 to resolve the matter. The decision
of the arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Certificate shall be non-appealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto and the Company Securityholders, and Acquirer shall be entitled to instruct the Escrow
Agent to distribute to Acquirer an amount of cash from the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith.
(d) Judgment upon any determination of an
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 9.6(d), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Certificate is at issue, Acquirer shall be deemed to be the
prevailing party unless the arbitrator determines in favor of the Shareholders Agent (on behalf of the Company Securityholders) with respect to more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Company Securityholders shall be
deemed to be the prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to an arbitration shall pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with
such suit.
9.7 Shareholders Agent.
(a) At the Agreement Date, Sylvain Eche shall be constituted and appointed as the Shareholders Agent. The Shareholders Agent shall

Exhibit 99.1
Marin Software Signs Agreement to Acquire SocialMoov
Acquisition adds a leading social advertising platform, including Facebook video, Twitter integration, and
television synchronization, to ad cloud offering
San Francisco, CA February 05, 2015 Marin Software (NYSE: MRIN), provider of a leading cross-channel performance advertising
cloud, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire French-based SocialMoov, a leading social advertising platform for Facebook and Twitter advertising. SocialMoov offers advertisers and agencies next-generation
social advertising tools designed to maximize engagement and ROI.
The agreement is expected to close in mid-February, subject to customary closing
conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, total consideration for the deal is expected to be $18.75 million, consisting of $8.0 million of cash and $10.75 million in shares of Marins stock valued at the ten-day trading average two days
prior to entering into the definitive agreement. Up to $2 million dollars in equity awards also will be granted to SocialMoov employees following the closing.
Performance marketing is no longer dominated by a single channel. The acquisition of SocialMoov will play a key role in Marin Softwares vision to
provide the industry-leading advertising cloud through which marketers can measure, manage and optimize ad spend across the web and mobile devices. Once the acquisition closes, Marin will possess cutting-edge social advertising technologies,
including Facebook video advertising, Twitter API integration, and television synchronization, which the company believes will augment Marins current social offering.
Social is the fastest growing segment in online advertising and is essential for both brand and performance marketers, said David A. Yovanno,
chief executive officer at Marin Software. Once the transaction is complete, I believe the combination of SocialMoov and Marin Software will push our social offering to the forefront and strengthen our ability to target audiences across
search, display and social channels. The SocialMoov team brings a level of expertise in social advertising that will prove invaluable to our research and development moving forward. We are excited to add their social solution to Marins ad
cloud.
SocialMoov ranks as one of the most innovative advertising platforms in the world. Founded in 2011, SocialMoov is a top-five Facebook
Preferred Marketing Developer (PMD), was the first European provider to develop Twitter support, and the first platform to synchronize social advertising with TV ads. Customers of SocialMoov include Ubisoft, Lacoste, iProspect, and Havas Media. As a
European-based company SocialMoov will significantly strengthen Marins already substantial international presence.
Since its inception,
SocialMoov has sought to provide a leading social advertising platform, designed specifically for marketers looking to leverage social networks to drive revenue and improve their reputation, said Veronique Bergeot, co-founder and General
Manager at SocialMoov. I believe the combination of our technology with Marin Software will offer advertisers a greater return on their ad spend and new performance marketing opportunities. It is an honor to join Marin Software, a leader in
digital marketing.
For full year 2015, Marin Software expects the transaction will have no material impact on non-GAAP operating loss.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Marin uses certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release. Marin uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing its financial results and
believes they are useful to investors, as a supplement to GAAP measures, in evaluating its ongoing operational performance. Marin believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in
evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial results with other companies in our industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Non-GAAP financial measures that Marin uses may
differ from measures that other companies may use.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included below in this press release. Investors are
encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Marin defines
non-GAAP sales and marketing, non-GAAP research and development, non-GAAP general and administrative, non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating loss and non-GAAP net loss as the respective GAAP balances, adjusted for stock-based compensation
expense, the amortization of intangible assets, the capitalization of internally developed software, noncash expenses related to the issuance of warrants, the amortization of internally developed software, the benefit from income taxes related to
acquisition and the non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions. Non-GAAP net loss per share is calculated as non-GAAP net loss divided by the weighted average shares outstanding that are adjusted to assume the conversion of outstanding
preferred shares to common shares as of the beginning of the period.
Marin defines Adjusted EBITDA as net loss, adjusted for stock-based compensation
expense, depreciation, the amortization of internally developed software, the amortization of intangible assets, the capitalization of internally developed software, interest expense, net, the benefit from or provision for income taxes, other income
(expenses), net and the non-recurring costs associated with acquisitions. These amounts are often excluded by other companies to help investors understand the operational performance of their business. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a
measurement of its operating performance because it assists in comparing the operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of certain non-cash and non-operating items. Adjusted EBITDA reflects an additional way of viewing
aspects of the operations that Marin believes, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting its business.

This press release contains forward-looking statements including, among other things, statements regarding Marins business, growth, position in the
industry, product capabilities and future financial results, including its outlook for the first quarter of 2015 and fiscal year 2015. These forward-looking statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions created by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of certain risk factors, including but not limited to our ability to grow sales to new and existing customers;
our ability to expand our sales and marketing capabilities; our ability to retain and attract qualified management and technical personnel; competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures, entry of new competitors and new

risks associated with international operations; near term changes in sales of our software services or spend under management may not be immediately reflected in our results due to our subscription business model; adverse changes in general economic
or market conditions; and the ability to acquire and integrate other businesses, including our acquisitions of Perfect Audience and SocialMoov. These forward looking statements are based on current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and
changes in condition, significance, value and effect as well as other risks detailed in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent report on Form 10-K, recent reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on
Form 8-K which we may file from time to time, all of which are available free of charge at the SECs website at www.sec.gov. Any of these risks could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations set forth in the
