Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
This Form 8-K is being furnished to report that Marcus & Millichap, Inc. (the “Company”) had been subject to a cybersecurity attack on its information technology systems. The Company immediately engaged cybersecurity experts to secure and restore all essential systems and was able to do so with no material disruption to its business. The Company’s investigation of the attack is ongoing; however, at this time there is no evidence of any material risk or misuse relating to personal information.
The Company continues to work with its external cybersecurity experts to assess and enhance the security of Company systems and personal information. The Company carries cyber insurance, which it expects will cover the majority of costs related to this incident.
The information furnished on this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
