Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule Form 8 K

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

As previously announced by MariaDB plc, an Irish public limited company ("MariaDB" or the "Company"), on July 25, 2024 the cash consideration payable in connection with the unsolicited offer (the "Offer") by Meridian BidCo LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Bidco"), an affiliate of K1 Investment Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to purchase all of the issued and to be issued ordinary shares of $0.01 each (nominal value) of MariaDB (the "MariaDB Shares") was settled. 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 Non-Assenting Shareholders will be acquired compulsorily by Bidco on the same terms as the Offer (the "Buy Out").

On August 16, 2024, the board of directors of the Company approved the delisting and deregistration of the MariaDB Shares and MariaDB Warrants (as defined below). In connection with the consummation of the Buy Out, the Company notified the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that all outstanding MariaDB Shares not held by Bidco were exchanged pursuant to the Buy Out into cash consideration. The Company requested that the NYSE file a notification of removal from listing and/or registration on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") with respect to the delisting of the MariaDB Shares and the warrants to subscribe for MariaDB Shares (the "MariaDB Warrants"). The last day of trading for the MariaDB Shares and MariaDB Warrants is expected to be on or about August 23, 2024.

In addition, the Company intends to file with the SEC a certification and notice of termination on Form 15 requesting that the MariaDB Shares and MariaDB Warrants be deregistered under Section 12(g) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and that the Company's reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to the MariaDB Shares and MariaDB Warrants be suspended.
