The Amendment does not affect the par value of our common stock.

The Amendment provides that the Reverse Split will become effective on December 21, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, at which time every 10 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock will automatically be combined and converted into one share of common stock. Beginning with the opening of trading on Thursday, December 22, 2022, our common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MARK," but will trade on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number, 75955K300.

The Amendment effecting the Reverse Split was approved by our stockholders at our Special Meeting of Stockholders held on December 6, 2022. In connection with approving the Reverse Split, our stockholders granted authority to the Board of Directors of Remark (the “Board”) to determine in its sole discretion the exact ratio of the Reverse Split within the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-20. The Board approved the Reverse Split on September 15, 2022, and the ratio of 1-for-10 on December 9, 2022.

Our transfer agent, Computershare, Inc., is acting as the exchange agent for the Reverse Split and will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging their pre-split shares for post-split shares.

Remark Holdings Announces Reverse Stock Split

1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split Effective December 21, 2022 for Trading December 22, 2022

Las Vegas, NV - December 21, 2022 - Remark Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MARK), today announced a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-10 and that it had filed a Certificate of Amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect the reverse split. The reverse split will be effective after the market closes on December 21, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Beginning with the opening of trading on Thursday, December 22, 2022, Remark’s common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MARK," but will trade on a split-adjusted basis under a new CUSIP number, 75955K300.

Remark's stockholders approved the reverse split at a special meeting of stockholders held on December 6, 2022. In connection with approving the reverse split, Remark’s stockholders granted authority to the company's Board of Directors to determine, in its sole discretion, the exact ratio of the reverse split within the range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-20. The Board of Directors approved the reverse split on September 15, 2022, and the ratio of 1-for-10 on December 9, 2022.

As a result of the reverse split, every 10 pre-split shares of common stock issued and outstanding will automatically combine and convert into one new share of common stock without any action on the part of the holders and with no change in the par value per share of $0.001. The reverse split will proportionately reduce the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under Remark’s equity incentive plans and proportionately reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and upon the release of restricted stock units outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the reverse split.

The reverse split reduces the number of shares of Remark’s issued and outstanding common stock from approximately 112 million pre-reverse-split shares to approximately 11.2 million post-reverse-split shares. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse split. Owners of fractional shares outstanding after the reverse split will be entitled to receive cash for such fractional shares based upon the closing sales price of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 21, 2022.

The company's transfer agent, Computershare, Inc., is acting as the exchange agent for the reverse split and will provide instructions to stockholders regarding the process for exchanging their pre-split shares for post-split shares. Additional information about the reverse split can be found in the company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2022, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov and on the company’s website.
