The offer to purchase the Shares is scheduled to expire at 11:59 pm, New York City time on October 7, 2020, unless extended (the "Offer").

If the Offer is fully subscribed, Marchex and Edenbrook will have purchased approximately 25% of Marchex's outstanding Class B common stock as of the date hereof.

Except as set forth herein and subject to certain other changes contained in the updated materials to be distributed to stockholders, the terms and conditions of the Offer remain the same.

The Offer is not contingent upon obtaining any financing. However, the Offer is subject to a number of other terms and conditions, including the Minimum Condition, which are specified in the Amended and Restated Offer to Purchase.

Neither Marchex, Marchex's Board of Directors, Edenbrook, nor the information agent or the depositary and paying agent, are making any recommendation to stockholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Shares in the Offer. Stockholders must decide how many shares they will tender, if any.
