Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 11, 2018, The Rubicon Project, Inc. (the “Company”) and Guardian News & Media Limited (“the Guardian”) mutually agreed to resolve their dispute, which arose in early 2017. Though the terms of the settlement agreement are confidential, the settlement is immaterial to the Company from a financial standpoint. In addition, because the settlement is a purely commercial one, it does not assign any liability to either party—whether the Company in respect to the Guardian’s claims, or the Guardian in respect to the Company’s counterclaims.
