These post-effective amendments (the “Post-Effective Amendments”) relate to the following Registration Statements on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statements”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by RealNetworks, Inc. (the “Company”):

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on December 21, 2022, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, and the Merger Sub continued as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), under the name “RealNetworks LLC”.
