Item 8.01 Other Events

On September 27, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved a reverse stock split ratio of 7-to-1 (the “Reverse Split”) and a resulting reduction in the Company’s authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 142,857,143 shares, subject to the approval of the stockholders at the Special Meeting. On October 5, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1, to effect the Reverse Split and reduction in the authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 142,857,143 shares, effective as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 5, 2017.

Upon the effectiveness of the Reverse Split at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 5, 2017, every seven shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. The Reverse Split will not affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of the Company’s common stock.

At the opening of trading on October 6, 2017, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MRIN,” but will be assigned a new CUSIP number (56804T 205) and will trade on a split-adjusted basis. 

On October 5, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the foregoing. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
