* On July 25, 2024, Meridian BidCo LLC (“Bidco”) acquired a total of 61,263,283 shares of MariaDB plc (the “Company” or “MariaDB”) (“MariaDB Shares”), representing 88.70% of the issued share capital of MariaDB as of July 22, 2024, pursuant to an unsolicited offer to purchase all of the issued and to be issued ordinary shares of the Company (the “Offer”). On July 26, 2024, Bidco sent compulsory acquisition notices to those MariaDB shareholders who did not accept the Offer (the “Non-Assenting Shareholders”). On August 26, 2024, MariaDB Shares held by the Non-Assenting Shareholders were acquired compulsorily by Bidco on the same terms as the Offer (the “Buy Out”). Consequently, as a result of the completion of the Offer and the Buy Out, Bidco owns all of the issued and outstanding MariaDB Shares.
