Because the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting is more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the Company&#8217;s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for the submission of stockholder proposals and director nominees for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting is extended. Proposals by stockholders and submissions by stockholders of director nominees for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting should be submitted in writing to The Rubicon Project, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 12181 Bluff Creek Drive, 4th Floor, Playa Vista, California 90094. Notice of all proposals and nominations by stockholders, whether or not intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting, to be timely, must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Company&#8217;s Corporate Secretary on or before 6:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 5, 2018. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination delivered or received after 6:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 5, 2018 will be untimely and will not be properly brought before the 2018 Annual Meeting. Proposals by stockholders and submissions by stockholders of director nominees must also comply with the procedures set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws and, if intended for inclusion in the proxy statement, Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font

On July 26, 2018, the Board of Directors of
The Rubicon Project, Inc. (the "Company") set October 24, 2018 as the date of its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2018 Annual Meeting") and the close of business on August 27, 2018 as the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and entitled to vote at the 2018 Annual Meeting. Because the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting is more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the Company's 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, the deadline for the submission of stockholder proposals and director nominees for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting is extended. Proposals by stockholders and submissions by stockholders of director nominees for consideration at the 2018 Annual Meeting should be submitted in writing to The Rubicon Project, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 12181 Bluff Creek Drive, 4th Floor, Playa Vista, California 90094. Notice of all proposals and nominations by stockholders, whether or not intended for inclusion in the proxy statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting, to be timely, must be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the Company's Corporate Secretary on or before 6:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 5, 2018. Any stockholder proposal or director nomination delivered or received after 6:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on August 5, 2018 will be untimely and will not be properly brought before the 2018 Annual Meeting. Proposals by stockholders and submissions by stockholders of director nominees must also comply with the procedures set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws and, if intended for inclusion in the proxy statement, Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
