    EXPLANATORY NOTE

    DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

    This Post-Effective Amendment (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by MariaDB plc, an Irish public limited company (“MariaDB” or the “Company”), with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”):


     
    •
    Registration Statement on Form  S-1 (No. 333-269268), which was last amended and filed by MariaDB with the SEC on March 3, 2023, registering up to (i) 16,351,314 ordinary shares, nominal value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) underlying warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares; (ii) 56,414,951 Ordinary Shares held by selling holders, and (iii) 7,310,297 warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares held by selling holders.


    On July 25, 2024, Meridian BidCo LLC (“Bidco”) acquired a total of 61,263,283 Ordinary 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, Ordinary 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 Ordinary Shares.

    As a result of the completion of the Offer and the Buy Out, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to terminate any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and to deregister any and all securities that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof. Accordingly, the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a Post-Effective Amendment any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes and withdraws from registration any and all securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.



    SIGNATURES

    Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Redwood City, State of California, on August 26, 2024.

    Pursuant to Rule 478 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, no other person is required to sign this Post-Effective Amendment.
