Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Plan Administrator and Plan Participants

LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan

San Francisco, California

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis of Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Report on Supplemental Information

The supplemental information in the accompanying Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, Schedule H, Line 4i - Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

We have served as the Plan’s auditor since 2018.

Plan Description

The following description of the LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan (“Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

  (a)

Change in Plan Sponsor

On September 20, 2018, Acxiom Corporation implemented a holding company reorganization (“Reorganization”), as a result of which Acxiom Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) became the successor issuer to Acxiom Corporation and each issued and outstanding share of Acxiom Corporation common stock converted into one share of Holdings, having the same rights, powers, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as the Acxiom Corporation common stock being converted. On October 1, 2018, Holdings changed its name to LiveRamp Holdings, Inc. (“LiveRamp,” “Company,” or “Employer”) and voluntarily delisted its common stock on NASDAQ and transferred that listing to NYSE. The common stock of LiveRamp began trading on October 2, 2018, under the ticker symbol “RAMP.” As a result of the Reorganization, LiveRamp succeeded Acxiom Corporation as the Plan Sponsor. Reference made herein to Company contributions of LiveRamp common stock during the years ended 2018 include contributions of Acxiom Corporation common stock occurring before implementation of the Reorganization.

On October 1, 2018, the Company sold its Acxiom Marketing Services business which resulted in a significant reduction in workforce. As a result, plan management determined a partial termination of the Plan had occurred and fully vested employees terminated during 2018.

 

  (b)

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all employees of LiveRamp and its domestic subsidiaries. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). The Administrative Committee, as appointed by the Chairman of the Internal Compensation Committee, is the administrator for the Plan.

 

  (c)

Participation

Employees of the Company may participate in the Plan upon commencement of employment, except for those employees, if any, who already receive retirement benefits in connection with a collective bargaining agreement, certain nonresident employees, and leased employees.

 

  (d)

Contributions

The Plan includes a 401(k) provision whereby each participant may defer up to 30% of annual compensation, not to exceed limits determined under Section 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).

The Plan allows discretionary matching contributions up to 100% of deferrals not in excess of 6% of participants’ compensation. Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company made matching contributions at the 50% level.

Participant contributions to the Plan are invested as directed by participants into various investment options. The Company’s matching contributions are made with cash. Prior to January 1, 2019 the Company’s matching contributions were made with LiveRamp common stock and were recorded based on the fair value of the common stock at the date contributed.

 

  (e)

Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, rollovers, if any, the Company’s matching contribution, and discretionary contributions, if any, and is adjusted for investment income/losses and expenses. Allocations of income/losses and expenses are made according to formulas specified in the Plan based on participant compensation or account balances. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

  (f)

Notes Receivable from Participants

Participants may borrow from their Plan accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000, less the highest outstanding balance in the previous 12 months or 50% of their vested account balance. Loans are repayable through payroll deductions ranging up to five years unless the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence, in which case the loan can be repaid over ten years. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and bear interest at the prime rate in effect at the date of the loan plus 1.0%. The interest rates on outstanding participant loans at December 31, 2019 range from 4.25% to 6.50%, with maturity dates ranging from January 2020 to July 2028.

  (g)

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions, rollovers, if any, and the earnings thereon. Participants are vested in the remainder of their accounts based on years of service, whereby partial vesting occurs in 20% increments beginning after two years of service until participants become fully vested after six years of service. Effective September 30, 2016, participants that complete an hour of service on or after September 30, 2016, are partially vested in 33% increments beginning after one year of service until participants become fully vested after three years of service. If applicable, nonvested portions of Company contributions are forfeited when a terminated employee takes a distribution and are used to reduce future Company matching contributions or to pay plan expenses. Effective January 1, 2019, Participants completing an hour of service on or after January 1, 2019 shall be 100% vested in their account.

At December 31, 2018, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $358,106. During 2019, $210,350 of participants’ accounts were forfeited, and the forfeiture account balance was increased by $79,715 on the fair market value of the investments held in the account. During 2019, forfeited nonvested accounts reduced Employer contributions by $601,067. At December 31, 2019, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $47,104 that will be used to reduce future Employer contributions.

 

  (h)

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in any of 12 mutual funds, 16 common collective trust funds, or the LiveRamp common stock fund. In addition, participants have the option to open a self-directed brokerage account with T. Rowe Price Company (“T. Rowe Price”) in order to invest in numerous other stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

 

  (i)

Benefits Paid to Participants and Beneficiaries

Benefits paid upon retirement, death, or disability are made in the form of a lump-sum payment of cash or common stock of the Company. If a participant receives benefits prior to retirement, death, or disability, the benefits paid from the participant’s Employer contribution account shall not exceed the participant’s vested balance therein.

 

(2)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a)

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

 

  (b)

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

The Plan’s investments are reported at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded as earned. Net appreciation/depreciation in fair value of investments represents realized gains (losses) on investments sold and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held at year-end.

 

  (c)

Notes Receivable from Participants

Notes receivable from participants are stated at amortized cost, which represents the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest.

 

  (d)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

  (e)

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

  (f)

Expenses

Certain expenses of maintaining the Plan are paid by the Plan, unless otherwise paid by the Company. Expenses that are paid by the Company are excluded from these financial statements. Fees related to the administration of notes receivable from participants are charged directly to the participant’s account and are included in administrative expenses. Investment related expenses are included in net appreciation (depreciation) of fair value of investments.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance is to be applied prospectively or retrospectively, depending on the different provisions. The Plan is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-13 on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

(3)

Fair Value Measurements

The Plan applies the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires disclosure about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Specifically, ASC 820:

 

   

Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value;

 

   

Establishes a three-level hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3); and

 

   

Expands disclosures about instruments measured at fair value.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. These are inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Table of Contents
  (i)

Common stock: Valued at the closing price reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded.

 

  (ii)

Common collective trusts (“CCT”): Valued daily at the net asset value (“NAV”) of the underlying CCT. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. Were the Plan to initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment advisor reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.

 

  (iii)

Mutual Funds: Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-end mutual funds that are registered with the SEC. These funds are required to publish their daily NAV and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.

The methods described above may produce a fair value that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement as of the reporting date.

 

(4)

Plan Administration

The Plan is administered by the administrative committee. T. Rowe Price is the recordkeeper and trustee of the Plan.

 

(5)

Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company in a letter dated May 30, 2014, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The amendments to the plan include: (1) the definition of “spouse;” (2) the addition of a year-end true-up to the discretionary matching contribution; (3) vesting of certain participants as a result of corporate transactions; (4) allowing in-service distributions from rollover accounts at any time; (5) the addition of a Roth elective contribution feature; and (6) changing from six-year graded vesting of Employer contributions to three-year graded vesting. The plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Management is required to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and concluded that as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

 

(6)

Related Party Transactions

Certain investments represent mutual funds and common and collective trusts managed by T. Rowe Price, the trustee. Other related party transactions involve the purchases, sales and holdings of common stock of the Company and notes receivable from participants. During 2019 and 2018, total fees paid to related parties were $347,876 and $492,815, respectively.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon complete discontinuance of contributions, termination, or partial termination of the Plan, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. Upon full termination of the Plan, the value of such accounts shall be distributed as provided in the Plan.

 

(9)

Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and those changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits.

Market conditions may result in a high degree of volatility and increase the risks and short-term liquidity associated with certain investments held by the Plan, which could impact the value of investments after the date of these financial statements. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimations and assumptions process, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in these estimates and assumptions in the near term would be material to the financial statements.

 

(10)

Subsequent Events

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency stemming from a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and on March 11, 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, triggering volatility in financial markets and a significant negative impact on the global economy. As a result, the Plan’s investment portfolio has incurred periods of significant decline in fair value since December 31, 2019. However, because the values of the Plan’s individual investments have and will fluctuate in response to changing market conditions, the amount of losses that will be recognized in subsequent periods, if any, cannot be determined. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report.

The Coronavirus Aid Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was passed by the U.S. Senate on March 26, 2020. Section 2202 of the CARES Act permits eligible Plan participants to request penalty-free distributions of up to $100,000, increased the loan cap up to $100,000, and provided for suspension of loan payments for qualifying coronavirus-related reasons. These reasons include adverse financial consequences due to being quarantined, furloughed, laid off, having work hours reduced or being unable to work due to a lack of childcare due to COVID-19. The Administrative Committee voted to implement the increased distribution provision and the suspension of loan payments provision effective June 1, 2020.
