  <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">On October 22, 2002, Marimba, Inc. announced that during the preparation of its financial statements for the third quarter of 2002, Marimba discovered adjustments that should have been made
  during 2000 and 2001. As a result, Marimba overstated the amortization of deferred stock compensation in these periods. The expense overstatement during these periods, in aggregate, totals approximately $3 million resulting from not reversing
  previously expensed amounts relating to unvested equity awards upon the departure of employees and executives. Marimba will be adjusting its financial results for 2000 and 2001, and these adjustments will improve Marimba&#146;s reported GAAP net
  losses for these periods. To date, Marimba has excluded the amortization of deferred stock compensation from its pro forma results, so its previously reported pro forma results will remain unchanged. In addition, these adjustments will have no
  effect on Marimba&#146;s previously reported cash flows, cash balances, revenues or total stockholders&#146; equity. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Marimba expects to

  of 1934, and is subject to the safe harbors created by these sections. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding Marimba&#146;s expected adjustment of its financial results for 2000 and 2001 to account for an overstatement of
  deferred compensation charges and the timing of filing of an amendment to Marimba&#146;s 2001 Form 10-K to reflect these adjustments. The results expected by the forward-looking statements in this announcement are subject to a number of risks and
  uncertainties, including: the possibility that further changes may need to be made to the accounting adjustments that Marimba intends to make to address its overstatement of deferred compensation charges in 2000 and 2001, which could increase or
  decrease the amount of the required adjustment and delay the filing of the amendments to its 2001 Form 10-K to reflect these adjustments. Actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements due to
  the factors listed above and other factors. The matters discussed in this Form 8-K also involve risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Marimba&#146;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In particular, see the

  previously expensed amounts relating to unvested equity awards upon the departure of employees and executives. Marimba will be adjusting its financial results for 2000 and 2001, and these adjustments will improve Marimba's reported GAAP net
  losses for these periods. To date, Marimba has excluded the amortization of deferred stock compensation from its pro forma results, so its previously reported pro forma results will remain unchanged. In addition, these adjustments will have no
  effect on Marimba's previously reported cash flows, cash balances, revenues or total stockholders' equity.
