Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 1, 2021 (the “Grant Date”), following the re-election of directors at the 2021 annual meeting of stockholders of Marchex, Inc.

Fifty percent (50%) of such shares of restricted stock and options shall vest on the first and second annual anniversaries of the Grant Date, respectively, and with vesting in full upon a Change in Control (as defined in such restricted stock and option agreements), in each case assuming continued service on Marchex’s Board of Directors for such period. In addition, Marchex agreed to pay each non-employee director $7,500 in cash per quarter for the independent directors’ annual board service.
