** IMPORTANT NOTICE **

WE URGE YOU NOT TO LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS—

VOTE FOR THE PROPOSED MERGER TRANSACTION TODAY!

November 30, 2022

Dear Fellow RealNetworks, Inc. Shareholder:

At the special meeting of shareholders of RealNetworks, Inc. to be held on December 14, 2022, you will have the opportunity to determine whether:

 

☑	The acquisition of the company by Greater Heights LLC is approved, which we believe gives shareholders the best opportunity to realize value for their shares

 

☒	The acquisition is not approved, and the company faces near-term liquidity constraints, the potential delisting of its shares and a risk that it will not be able to continue as a long-term going concern.

We believe the choice is clear. Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you protect the value of your investment by voting FOR all items on the enclosed proxy card TODAY.

Approval of the proposed transaction requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock held on the record date. Any shares that are not voted or that abstain have the same effect as voting against those proposals.

Your vote is important. To make sure that your shares are represented at the meeting, please vote FOR the proposals today by telephone, by the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the envelope provided.

Very truly yours,

The Board of Directors
