EXPLANATORY NOTE

Marchex, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Marchex”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), as originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2024. The purpose of this Amendment is to include Part III information which was to be incorporated by reference from our definitive proxy statement for our 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. This information was previously omitted from the 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the Part III information to be incorporated in our Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment to include Part III information in our Form 10-K because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed by the Company within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by our Form 10-K. The reference on the cover to the Form 10-K to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Form 10-K is hereby deleted. This Amendment also corrects an inadvertent error in the aggregate market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates of the Company on June 30, 2023 set forth on the cover of the Form 10-K.

Corporate Governance

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership. Directors, officers and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on review of the copies of such reports the Company has received, or written representations that no other reports were required for those persons, the Company believes that its directors, officers and 10% stockholders complied with all applicable filing requirements during 2023.

 

Code of Conduct and Code of Ethics. The Company has adopted a code of conduct applicable to each of the Company’s officers, directors and employees, and a code of ethics applicable to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the Company’s senior financial officers, as contemplated by Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and both codes are available on our website at www.marchex.com.

 

Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is currently comprised of Messrs. Cline, Cogsville and Wisehart (Chair). Each of the members of the Audit Committee is independent for purposes of the NASDAQ listing standards as they apply to Audit Committee members and each member of the Audit Committee is an Audit Committee financial expert, as defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee operates under a charter that is available on our website at www.marchex.com. The functions of the Audit Committee include reviewing, with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the scope and timing of the independent registered public accounting firm’s services, the independent registered public accounting firm’s report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting following completion of the Company’s audits, and the Company’s internal accounting and financial control policies and procedures, and making annual recommendations to the Board of Directors for the appointment of an independent registered public accounting firm for the ensuing year. The Audit Committee held eight meetings and took action by written consent on one occasion during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

The Role of Stockholder Say-on-Pay Votes

 

In September 2023, we held a stockholder advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers (the “say-on-pay proposal”). Our stockholders overwhelmingly approved the compensation of our named executive officers, with approximately 95% of stockholder votes cast in favor of the say-on-pay proposal. The Compensation Committee believes this affirms the stockholders’ support of our approach to executive compensation and did not change its approach in 2023.

 

The Compensation Committee will continue to consider the outcome of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for the named executive officers.

---

 

Overview

 

You can find detailed information regarding the compensation we paid to our NEOs in the table following the Summary Compensation Table section of this Amendment below.

 

Our executive compensation programs are intended to serve two related goals:

We believe that this long-term focus will appropriately reward our management team for performance that will most benefit our Company and stockholders. We think that a focus on shorter-term results could inappropriately over- or under-compensate our executives due to short-term fluctuations that do not as accurately reflect our corporate growth and the corresponding benefit to our stockholders.

 

The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the compensation and benefits for our executive officers, for determining distributions and grants of awards under our various stock and other incentive plans, and for all matters related to the foregoing.

 

NEO Compensation for 2023

 

Our Compensation Committee in reviewing our executive compensation packages assesses salary and bonus, salary and bonus history, the number and value of shares owned by our executives, and vesting and exercise history of prior equity grants. The Compensation Committee also considers data regarding compensation paid at public media, internet and technology-based companies of comparable size to our Company and which could compete for the services of our NEOs. Although the compensation practices of our competitors instruct our review, we use that data only to gain perspective and do not “benchmark” our compensation to any particular level.

Base Salary and Bonus

 

The 2023 salaries and bonuses shown in the table following the Summary Compensation Table section of this Amendment below were set by our Compensation Committee based on the compensation review discussed above, as well as a consideration of the respective NEO’s total compensation package including prior equity grants, exercise history, and existing stock ownership. Base salaries and bonuses are a necessary part of our compensation program and provide executives with a fixed portion of pay that is not performance-based. Our goal is to provide competitive base pay levels. The Compensation Committee considered each NEO’s skills, experience, level of responsibility, performance and contribution to our Company. The Compensation Committee also took into account in conjunction with the NEO’s specific areas of responsibilities and objectives, each NEO’s contribution to the Company’s overall success as a member of the management team. The Compensation Committee considers the relative compensation levels among all the members of the management team to ensure the Company’s executive compensation programs are internally consistent and equitable. All salaries and bonuses are reviewed at least annually and subject to future adjustment by the Compensation Committee.

 

Equity Compensation

 

---

All of our employees and directors are eligible to receive options, shares of restricted stock, and/or restricted stock units under our 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2021 Stock Plan”).

 

The Compensation Committee periodically and at least annually considers equity awards to the Company's NEOs, but does not automatically grant equity awards to NEOs every year. The Compensation Committee takes into account the various factors outlined in the discussion of base salary and bonus above as well as the Company’s financial performance and its impact on stockholder value and also analyzes existing NEO equity holdings and prior equity awards to take into account whether additional grants are appropriate and necessary to recalibrate the cash-equity balance of NEO compensation packages.

 

On January 25, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted stock options and shares of restricted stock to Messrs. Arends, Horowitz, and Polley under the 2021 Stock Plan pursuant to a periodic review of equity award incentives for executive officers of the Corporation.

 

On February 3, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted stock options to Mr. Miller under the 2021 Stock Plan in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

 

On April 3, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted stock options to Mr. Hartless under the 2021 Stock Plan in connection with his appointment as Chief Revenue Officer of the Company.

 

On September 28, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted stock options to Messrs. Miller and Hartless under the 2021 Stock Plan pursuant to a periodic review of equity award incentives for executive officers of the Corporation.

 

On October 30, 2023, the Compensation Committee granted stock options to Ms. Aglio under the 2021 Stock Plan in connection with her appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 

You can find more information regarding these grants, including the corresponding vesting schedules, by referring to the table following the Outstanding Equity Awards at 2023 Fiscal Year-End section of this Amendment below.

 

Most equity awards for employees are tied to their annual performance reviews. We may occasionally make employee grants outside of that review process and such awards typically are granted as of the date the grant is approved. All new-hire awards have a grant date set to correspond to the date of hire. All options have an exercise price set at the closing market price of our Class B common stock on the grant date.

 

Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices

 

We believe our compensation policies and practices do not promote imprudent risk taking. In this regard, we note the following: (i) our annual incentive compensation is based on balanced performance metrics that promote disciplined progress towards longer-term Company goals; (ii) we do not offer short-term incentives that might drive high-risk investments at the expense of long-term Company value; and (iii) our compensation programs are weighted towards offering long-term incentives that reward sustainable performance, especially when considering our executive share ownership. Accordingly, we believe that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

None of the members of the Compensation Committee during 2023, are or have been an officer or employee of the Company. No member of the Compensation Committee had any relationship with the Company requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. During fiscal year 2023, none of the Company’s executive officers served on the Compensation Committee (or its equivalent) or Board of Directors of another entity where any of that entity's executive officers also served on the Company’s Compensation Committee or Board of Directors.

Retention Agreement

We have entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Arends that provides that in the event of a Change in Control, he would be entitled to a lump sum payment equal to two times the amount calculated by adding (1) his annual salary at that time plus (2) the greater of (a) any bonus he earned with respect to the prior fiscal year, or (b) his pro rata portion of the aggregate bonus pool under our Incentive Plan for the current year assuming achievement under the Incentive Plan of the maximum performance targets for such year. With respect to Mr. Arends, if within twelve (12) months following a Change in Control: (1) the Company shall terminate his employment with the Company without cause, or (2) he shall voluntarily terminate such employment for Good Reason, the Company shall provide reimbursement of health care premiums for him and his dependents, for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of his termination, to the extent that he is eligible for and elects continuation coverage under COBRA (provided that such reimbursement shall terminate upon commencement of new employment by an employer that offers health care coverage to its employees). In consideration for the Company’s willingness to enter into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Arends, he relinquished the excise tax gross-up provision which was contained in the retention agreement.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Procedures for Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions

 

Our Audit Committee is responsible under its charter for reviewing and approving in advance any proposed related party transactions which would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and

---

reporting to the Board of Directors on any approved transactions. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that such relationships are on terms commensurate with those that would be extended to an unrelated third party.

 

Board Independence

 

The Board of Directors determined that, other than Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Arends, each of the members of the board is an independent director in accordance with NASDAQ listing standards.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is RSM US LLP (“RSM”), Seattle, WA, PCAOB ID: 49.

On November 11, 2022, the Audit Committee approved the selection of RSM to serve as Marchex’s independent registered public accounting firm. Moss Adams LLP (“Moss Adams”) served as Marchex’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and through November 11, 2022.

Accounting Fees and Services

 

During fiscal years 2022 and 2023, Moss Adams and RSM provided professional services in the following categories and amounts:

 

Fee Category	2022			2023
	Moss Adams ($)	RSM ($)		RSM ($)
Audit Fees (1)	159,995	204,750		328,790
Audit-Related Fees (2)	49,875	-		-
Tax Fees (3)	-	-		-
Total All Fees	209,870	204,750		328,790

 

The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the independence of Moss Adams at the time provided and the Audit Committee concluded that it was.

 

The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the 2022 and the 2023 services and fees above pursuant to the pre-approval policy described below.

 

Policy on Pre-Approval by Audit Committee of Services Performed by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The policy of the Audit Committee is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm during the fiscal year. The Audit Committee pre-approves services by authorizing specific projects within the categories outlined above, subject to the budget for each category. The Audit Committee’s charter delegates to its Chairman the authority to address any requests for pre-approval of services between Audit Committee meetings, and the Chairman must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
