EXPLANATORY NOTE

On February 3, 2022, Clarivate Plc (“Clarivate”, the “Company,” “our,” “us” and “we”) filed Amendment No. 2 (“10-K Amendment No. 2” to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 26, 2021 (the "Original Form 10-K") and amended on May 10, 2021 (the 10-K Amendment No. 1” and, the Original Form 10-K as amended by 10-K Amendment No. 1 and 10-K Amendment No. 2, the “Form 10-K/A2”), to restate our Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and our quarterly results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2020. In addition, it was concluded that the quarterly financial statements for the quarterly periods March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 should also no longer be relied upon.

See Note 28 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K/A2 for additional information related to the restatement.

The Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021, originally filed with the SEC on July 29, 2021 (“the Original Form 10-Q”, as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Form 10-Q/A”), to restate our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. Amendment No. 1 also amends certain other items in the Original Form 10-Q, as described in “Items Amended in this Form 10-Q/A" section below.

Restatement Background

On December 22, 2021, the Company concluded, with concurrence from the Audit Committee, that the consolidated financial statements previously issued as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the quarterly period ended December 31, 2020 should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements, as addressed in FASB ASC Topic 250. In addition, it was concluded that the financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 should also no longer be relied upon.

The errors corrected in 10-K Amendment No. 2 and such amended Form 10-Q filings related to the treatment under GAAP of an equity plan ("the CPA Global Equity Plan") included in the CPA Global business combination which was consummated on October 1, 2020 (“the CPA Global Transaction”). In the affected financial statements, certain awards made by CPA Global under such equity plan and related trust were incorrectly included as part of the acquisition accounting for the CPA Global Transaction. The Company concluded that the expenses associated with such equity plan should have been recognized as share-based compensation charges ranging from the vesting period of October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2021, with only a portion of the liability recorded as part of acquisitionaccounting.

This restatement reflected in this amendment resulted in the following changes:

Items Amended by this Form 10-Q/A

The portions of the Original Form 10-Q that have been revised to give effect to the restatement reflected in this amendment and matters related thereto are as follows:

•Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)

•Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

•Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures

•Part II, Item 6. Exhibits

See Note 27 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, in Item 1, Financial Statements (Unaudited), for additional information related to the restatement of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part II, Item 6 has been amended to include currently-dated certifications from our Chief Executive Officer (as Principal Executive Officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (as Principal Financial Officer), as required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Exhibits 31 and 32).

This Form 10-Q/A sets forth the information in the Original Form 10-Q in its entirety, as such information is modified and superseded where necessary to reflect the restatement and related revisions. Except as provided above, this Form 10-Q/A does not amend, update or change any other items or disclosures or otherwise reflect events occurring after the date of the Original Form 10-Q to the date this Form 10-Q/A is filed. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s other SEC filings, including any amendments to those filings.

Refer to Note 2 - Basis of Presentation for additional information and for the summary of the accounting impacts of these adjustments to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Control Considerations

In connection with the the restatement described in the Form 10-K/A2 and this Form 10-Q/A, management reassessed its conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures ("DC&P"). Management concluded that the Company’s DC&P were not effective as of June 30, 2021, due to additional material weaknesses related to, (1) the lack of an effectively designed control over the communication of modifications to pre-existing compensation agreements in an acquisition transaction between the legal function and the accounting function to ensure the accounting impact of the modifications could be evaluated, and (2) the lack of an effectively designed control with a sufficient level of precision to allow for an appropriate review of the tax balances associated with the opening balance sheet of acquired entities.

For a discussion of management’s consideration of our DC&P, and the material weaknesses identified, see Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures of this Form 10-Q/A.

Note 1: Background and Nature of Operations

Clarivate Plc (“(“Clarivate,~~” “us,” “we,” “our,”~~” “us,” “we,” “our,” or the ~~“Company”~~“Company”), is a public limited company organized under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands. We were initially registered on January 7, 2019, and at our 2020 annual general meeting, our shareholders approved a change of our corporate name from ~~“Clarivate~~“Clarivate Analytics ~~Plc”~~Plc” to ~~“Clarivate Plc”~~“Clarivate Plc”. Pursuant to the definitive agreement entered into to effect a merger between Camelot Holdings (Jersey) Limited ("Jersey") and Churchill Capital Corp, a Delaware corporation, ("Churchill") (the ~~“2019 Transaction”~~“2019 Transaction”), the Company was formed for the purposes of completing the 2019 Transaction and related transitions and carrying on the business of Jersey and its subsidiaries.

The Company is a provider of proprietary and comprehensive content, analytics, professional services and workflow solutions that enables users across government and academic institutions, life science companies and research and development (“(“R~~&D”~~&D”) intensive corporations to discover, protect and commercialize their innovations. Clarivate has two reportable segments: Science and Intellectual Property ("IP"). Our segment structure is organized to address customer needs by product line. Our Science segment consists of our Academic and Life Sciences Product Lines. Both provide curated, high-value, structured information that is delivered and embedded into the workflows of our customers, which include research intensive corporations, life science organizations and universities world-wide. Our IP segment consists of our Patent, Trademark, Domain and IP Management Product Lines. These Product Lines helps manage customer's end-to-end portfolios of intellectual property from patents to trademarks to corporate website domains. See Note 21 - Segment Information, for additional information on the Company's reportable segments.

In January 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 26, 2019, and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 29, 2019, collectively, the ~~“Merger Agreement”~~“Merger Agreement”) by and among Churchill, Jersey, CCC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Clarivate (“(“Delaware Merger ~~Sub”~~Sub”), Camelot Merger Sub (Jersey) Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands and wholly owned subsidiary of Clarivate (“(“Jersey Merger ~~Sub”~~Sub”), and the Company, which, among other things, provided for (i) Jersey Merger Sub to be merged with and into Jersey with Jersey being the surviving company in the merger (the ~~“Jersey Merger”~~“Jersey Merger”) and (ii) Delaware Merger Sub to be merged with and into Churchill with Churchill being the surviving corporation in the merger (the ~~“Delaware Merger”~~“Delaware Merger”), and together with the Jersey Merger, the ~~“Mergers”~~“Mergers”.

On May 13, 2019, the 2019 Transaction was consummated, and Clarivate became the sole managing member of Jersey, operating and controlling all of the business and affairs of Jersey, through Jersey and its subsidiaries. Following the consummation of the 2019 Transaction on May 13, 2019, the ~~Company’s~~Company’s ordinary shares and warrants began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. All of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s public warrants have subsequently been redeemed. See Note 16 - ~~Shareholders’~~Shareholders’ Equity for further information regarding the redemption of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s public warrants.

The 2019 Transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). Under this method of accounting, Churchill was treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on post 2019 Transaction relative voting rights, composition of the governing board, size of the two entities pre-merger, and intent of the 2019 Transaction. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the 2019 Transaction was treated as the equivalent of the Company issuing stock for the net assets of Churchill. The net assets of Churchill were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets resulting from the 2019 Transaction. Reported amounts from operations included herein prior to the 2019 Transaction are those of Jersey.

In February 2020, the Company consummated a public offering of 27,600,000 ordinary shares at $20.25 per share. In June 2020, the Company consummated a public offering of 50,400,000 of our ordinary shares at a share price of $22.50 per share. Of the 50,400,000 ordinary shares, 14,000,000 were ordinary shares offered by Clarivate and 36,400,000 were ordinary shares offered by selling shareholders. The Company received approximately $304,030 in net proceeds from the sale of its ordinary shares, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. We used the net proceeds, in conjunction with the new $1,600,000 incremental term loan facility available to Clarivate on October 1, 2020, and cash on the balance sheet to fund the repayment of CPA Global's parent company outstanding debt of $2,055,822. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares by the selling shareholders. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of CPA Global, on October 1, 2020, the Company issued ~~216,683,778~~210,357,918 shares to Redtop Holdings Limited, a portfolio company of Leonard Green && Partners, L.P. representing approximately 35% ownership of Clarivate. After giving

effect to the Company's acquisition of CPA Global, Onex Corporation and Baring owned approximately 9.5% and 3.7%, respectively, of the Company's ordinary shares.

In June 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 44,230,768 of our ordinary shares at a share price of $26.00, of which 28,846,154 ordinary shares were issued and sold by Clarivate and 15,384,614 were sold by selling shareholders (which included 5,769,230 ordinary shares that the underwriters purchased pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares). The ordinary shares sold by selling shareholders included 10,562,882 ordinary shares from Onex, 4,107,787 ordinary shares from Baring and 713,945 ordinary shares from Directors, Executive Officers and other shareholders. The Company received approximately $728,768 in net proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares offered by the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the secondary ordinary shares sold by the selling shareholders. We intend to use the net proceeds received to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021. See Note 26 - Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the ProQuest acquisition. If the ProQuest acquisition is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds received for general corporate purposes.

In June 2021, concurrently with the June 2021 Ordinary Share Offering, we completed an underwritten public offering of 14,375,000 of our 5.25% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares ("MCPS") which included 1,875,000 of our mandatory convertible preferred shares that the underwriters purchased pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares. The Company received approximately $1,393,222 in net proceeds from the mandatory convertible preferred share offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. We intend to use the net proceeds received to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021. See Note 26 - Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the ProQuest acquisition. If the ProQuest acquisition is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds received for general corporate purposes.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the continuously evolving responses to combat it have had an increasingly negative impact on the global economy. In view of the rapidly changing business environment, market volatility and heightened degree of uncertainty resulting from COVID-19, we are currently unable to fully determine its future impact on our business. However, we continue to assess the potential effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. If the global pandemic continues to evolve into a prolonged crisis, the effects could have an adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information or notes necessary for a complete presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the ~~Company’s~~Company’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

As noted in the Explanatory Note, the Company has filed this Form 10-Q/A to amend our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021, originally filed with the SEC on July 29, 2021 (the “Original Form 10-Q"), to restate our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnote disclosures as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

On December 22, 2021, the Company concluded that the financial statements previously issued as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021, should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements, as is addressed in FASB ASC Topic 250.

The error relates to the treatment under U.S. GAAP relating to an equity plan and related trust included in the CPA Global business combination which was consummated on October 1, 2020 (“CPA Global Transaction”). In the affected financial statements, certain awards made by CPA Global under their equity plan were incorrectly included as part of the acquisition accounting for the CPA Global Transaction.

The Company concluded that expenses should have been recognized as share-based compensation charges over the vesting period from October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2021 with only a portion of the liability recorded as part of acquisition accounting.

In the opinion of management, the quarterly financial data includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the quarterly periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include the accounts of all of its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Company has control, where control is defined as the power to govern financial and operating policies. Generally, the Company has a shareholding of more than 50% of the voting rights in its subsidiaries. The effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable is considered when assessing whether control exists. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date control is transferred to the Company, and are de-consolidated from the date control ceases. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company realigned its reporting structure and changed the manner in which performance is assessed. The two operating segments created include the Science Group and the Intellectual Property Group. The segment reporting changes were retrospectively applied to all periods presented. Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to the current year's presentation of reportable segment information as disclosed in Note 21 - Segment Information and financial statement line items within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are those that we believe are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, as well as those that involve significant judgments or estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies discussed in Item 8. –– Financial Statements and Supplementary Data –– Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements –– Note 3 of Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form ~~10-K/A~~10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, which was filed with the SEC on ~~May 10, 2021 (the "Amended Form 10-K").~~February 3, 2022.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance, ASU 2016-13, related to measurement of credit losses on financial instruments which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. This new guidance replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. The Company has determined that the impact of this new accounting guidance primarily affects our accounts receivable. The Company prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard had an impact of $10,097 on the beginning Accumulated deficit balance in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2020. In April 2019 and November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05 and ASU 2019-11, respectively, effective for the same period as ASU 2016-03. These updates offered options to entities intended to bring transition relief and offered clarification on the previously issued standard, respectively. The Company's accounting for credit losses did not change as a result of these two updates.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2018-14, which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the ~~Company’s~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance, ASU 2018-15, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments in this update. The Company prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)

have a material impact on the ~~Company’s~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. All future capitalized implementation costs incurred related to these hosting arrangements will be recorded as a prepaid asset and as a charge to operating expenses over the expected life of the contract.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, which provides targeted improvements or clarification and correction to the ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments Overall, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses, and ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging, accounting standards updates that were previously issued. The guidance is effective upon adoption of the related standards. The Company prospectively adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. This standard did not have a material impact on the ~~Company’s~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842), which provides improvements or clarification and correction to the ASU 2016-02 Leases, ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments Credit Losses, and ASU 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging, accounting standards updates. The guidance is effective upon adoption of the three ASUs, all of which the Company had already adopted. This standard did not have a material impact on the ~~Company’s~~Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, which enhances and simplifies various aspects of the income tax accounting guidance, including requirements such as tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, ownership changes in investments, and interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law. The guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~CLARIVATE PLC~~

~~Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)~~

~~(In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)~~

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective for all entities from the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has adopted this standard and elected the optional expedients for its interest rate swap agreements and debt agreements with reference to LIBOR. Upon meeting the specified criteria in the guidance, the Company will continue to account for its interest rate swaps in accordance with hedge accounting and will not apply modification accounting to its debt agreements. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, which made clarifications relating to the previously issued Reference Rate Reform guidance effective for the same period as ASU 2020-04. This clarification did not have an effect on how the Company accounts for its interest rate swaps and debt agreements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an ~~Entity’s~~Entity’s Own Equity as a result of complexity associated with GAAP for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods. The Company will adopt ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022, and it is expected that the adoption will not have a material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, ~~Issuer’s~~Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options, which provides guidance regarding the accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt ASU 2021-04 effective January 1, 2022, and it is expected that the adoption will not have a material impact to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

There were no other new accounting standards or updates issued or effective as of June 30, 2021, that have, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Piramal Enterprises Limited ("PEL"), which is a part of global business conglomerate Piramal Group. The acquisition helps us expand our core businesses and provides us with the potential to grow in the Life Sciences Product Line.

The aggregate consideration paid in connection with the closing of the DRG acquisition was $964,997, comprised of $900,000 of base cash plus $6,100 of adjusted closing cash paid on the closing date and 2,895,638 of the Company's ordinary shares issued to PEL on March 5, 2021. The contingent stock consideration was valued at $58,897 on the closing date and was revalued at each period end until the issuance date. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the fair value of the contingent stock consideration decreased by $24,410, which was recorded to selling, general and administrative costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The corresponding liability was $86,029 as of December 31, 2020 and recorded to Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the liability settled on March 5, 2021 with the Company issuing 2,895,638 ordinary shares valued at $61,619, there was no liability captured within the June 30, 2021 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies for more information. The DRG acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets is recorded to Goodwill and primarily reflects the assembled workforce and expected synergies. Goodwill is 0tnot deductible for tax purposes. Due to the decrease to the fair value of the contingent stock consideration between December 31, 2020 and March 5, 2021, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, total transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of DRG were $23 and a net gain of $24,360, respectively. Total transaction costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $5,702 and $25,465, respectively.

The amount of Revenues, net and Net loss resulting from the acquisition that are attributable to the Company's stockholders and included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss were as follows:

The Company estimates credit losses for trade receivables by aggregating similar customer types together, because they tend to share similar credit risk characteristics, taking into consideration the number of days the receivable is past due. Provision rates for the allowance for doubtful accounts are based upon the historical loss method by evaluating factors such as the length of time receivables that are past due and historical collection experience. Additionally, provision rates are based upon current and future economic and competitive environment factors that could impact the collectability of the receivable. Trade and other receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include past due status greater than 360 days or bankruptcy of the debtor. The activity in our accounts receivable allowance consists of the following for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively:


		June 30,		December 31,			June 30,		December 31,

The potential for credit losses is mitigated because customer creditworthiness is evaluated before credit is extended.

The Company recorded write-offs against the reserve of $4,452 and $22,205 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

We continue to monitor any impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers and various counterparties. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, the ~~Company’s~~Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts and credit losses considered additional risk related to the pandemic. However, this risk to-date was not considered material.

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for indicators of impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers a triggering event to have occurred upon exiting a facility if the expected undiscounted cash flows for the sublease period are less than the carrying value of the assets group. An impairment charge is recorded in the excess of each operating lease right-of-use asset's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. In connection with the Company's digital workplace transformation initiative to enable colleagues to work remotely, the Company ceased the use of select leased sites during the six months ended June 30, 2021. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge to Restructuring and impairment within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations based on the estimate of future recoverable cash flows of ~~$29,059~~$28,641 and $4,771 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and ~~$70,043~~$69,625 and $4,771 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Note 10: Derivative Instruments

Effective March 31, 2017, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements with counterparties to reduce its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on $300,000 of its outstanding Term Loan arrangements. Additionally, effective February 28, 2018, the Company entered into another interest rate swap relating to interest payments on $50,000 of its outstanding Term Loan arrangements. These hedging instruments matured on March 31, 2021. The Company applies hedge accounting by designating the interest rate swaps as a hedge on applicable future quarterly interest payments.

In April 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements with counterparties to reduce its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on $50,000 of its term loans, effective April 30, 2021. Additionally, in May 2019, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap arrangements with counterparties to reduce its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on $100,000 of its term loan, effective March 2021. Both of these derivatives have notional amounts that amortize downward, and both have a maturity of September 2023. The Company will apply hedge accounting by designating the interest rate swaps as a hedge in applicable future quarterly interest payments.

Changes in the fair value are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income(loss) ("AOCI") and the amounts reclassified out of AOCI are recorded to Interest expense, net. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded in Other current assets or Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current assets or liabilities, according to the duration of related cash flows. The total fair value of the interest rate swaps was a liability of $3,084 as of June 30, 2021 and a liability of $5,159 as of December 31, 2020.

In March 2020, the Company amended all of its interest rate derivatives to reduce the 1% LIBOR floor to a 0% LIBOR floor. For the current derivatives, all other terms and conditions remain unchanged. The Company collected $1,737 in the year ended December 31, 2020, for the amendments of these derivatives. For the two forward starting swaps, an adjustment was made to reduce the weighted average fixed rate from 2.183% at December 31, 2019 to 1.695% at the amendment date.

The Company had a period of ineffectiveness related to the cash flow hedges in the three months ended March 31, 2020. The ineffectiveness was due to a drop in LIBOR rates below the LIBOR floor defined per the credit facilities, which were amended on March 31, 2020, resulting in a highly effective hedge. As a result of the ineffectiveness, the Company recognized a loss of $0 and $978 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which was recorded to Interest expense, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2021, there was no hedge ineffectiveness associated with the ~~Company’s~~Company’s interest rate swaps.

In March 2021, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements with counterparties to reduce its exposure to variability in cash flows relating to interest payments on $350,000 of its term loans and replaced the interest rate swaps that matured during March 2021. These interest rate swap arrangements are effective March 31, 2021 and have a maturity date of March 31, 2024.

See Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information on derivative instruments.

Note 11: Fair Value Measurements

The Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is described below. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

••Level 1 —— Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

••Level 2 —— Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

••Level 3 —— Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Below is a summary of the valuation techniques used in determining fair value:

Derivatives - Derivatives consist of foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts is based on observable market inputs of spot and forward rates or using other observable rates. The fair value of the interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate such agreements, taking into account market interest rates and the remaining time to maturities or using market inputs with mid-market pricing as a practical expedient for bid-ask spread. See Note 10 - Derivative Instruments for additional information.

Contingent Consideration - The Company values contingent cash consideration related to business combinations using a weighted probability calculation of potential payment scenarios discounted at rates reflective of the risks associated with the expected future cash flows. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of contingent consideration include revenue, net new business and operating forecasts and the probability of achieving the specific targets. The Company values contingent stock consideration related to business combinations using observable market data, adjusted for indemnity losses and claims for indemnity losses valued using other indirect market inputs observable in the marketplace.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, and Other Accruals - The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accruals readily convertible into cash approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments.

Debt - The carrying value of the Company's variable interest rate debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and original issue discount, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate benchmark rates. The fair value of the fixed rate debt is estimated based on market observable data for debt with similar prepayment features. The fair value of the Company's debt was $5,592,332 and $3,574,282 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The fair value is considered Level 2 under the fair value hierarchy.

Private Placement Warrants - The Company has determined that the Private Placement Warrants are subject to accounting treatment as a liability. The Company has determined that the fair value of each Private Placement Warrant issued using a Monte Carlo simulation approach for valuations performed through the August 14, 2019 modification described in Note 17 - Employment and Compensation Arrangements, and a Black-Scholes option valuation model thereafter. Accordingly, the warrants issued are classified as Level 3 financial instruments. The assumptions in the models include, but are not limited to, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s and the peer ~~group’s~~group’s stock prices, dividend yield, and a discount for lack of marketability ~~(“DLOM”~~(“DLOM”) was applied to shares that are subject to remaining post vesting lock up restrictions.

~~(In~~ (In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)

Forward Contracts and Interest Rate Swaps - The Company has determined that its forward contracts, included in other current assets, along with its interest rate swaps, included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities according to the duration of related cash flows, reside within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedges as defined under ASC 815. The purpose of these derivative instruments is to help manage the Company's exposure to foreign exchange rate risks. These contracts are initially recognized at fair value at the date the contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. These contracts generally do not exceed 180 days in duration, and these instruments are carried as assets when the fair value is positive (Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), and as liabilities when the fair value is negative (Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss (other operating income (expense), net) immediately.

The Company assesses the fair value of these instruments, considering current and anticipated movements in future interest rates and the relevant currency spot and future rates available in the market. The Company receives third party valuation reports to corroborate our determination of fair value. Accordingly, these instruments are classified as Level 2 inputs.

Earn-Outs - In accordance with ASC 805, we estimated the fair value of the earn-outs using a Monte Carlo simulation. The amount of the earn-outs approximate fair value due to the short term nature of their remaining payments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820. As of December 31, 2020, the Company paid the remaining earn-out liabilities related to Publons and TrademarkVision. These acquisitions occurred in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The amounts payable were contingent upon the achievement of certain company specific milestones and performance metrics including number of cumulative users, cumulative reviews and annual revenue over a 1-year and 3-year period. Changes in the earn-out are recorded to Selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As part of the DRG acquisition, the Company maintained a contingent stock liability based on observable market data relating to the DRG acquisition that occurred on February 28, 2020. Changes in the contingent stock liability were recorded to Selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The contingent stock liability was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The liability was settled by the issuance of ordinary shares on March 5, 2021. This fair value measurement is based on observable market data and other indirect observable market inputs and thus represents a Level 2 measurement as defined in ASC 820.

As part of the CPA Global acquisition, the Company maintained a contingent stock liability based on observable market data relating to the CPA Global acquisition that occurred on October 1, 2020. Changes in the contingent stock liability were recorded to Selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The contingent stock liability was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The liability was settled by the issuance of ordinary shares on January 21, 2021. This fair value measurement is based on observable market data and other indirect observable market inputs and thus represents a Level 2 measurement as defined in ASC 820.

Employee Phantom Share Plan - As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company maintains an employee phantom share plan receivable asset and liability, ~~including an accrued liability for the employer's~~a portion of ~~payroll withholding taxes,~~ which was recorded in connection with the acquisition opening balance sheet. ~~The legacy CPA Global phantom share plan contained a change in control provision for an exit event which included the sale of CPA Global.~~ Upon the ~~exit event,~~acquisition, the phantom shares converted into the Company's ordinary shares and the funds were ~~placed into~~held in an employee benefit trust to be passed to the Company for payment to the respective employees via Clarivate payroll. ~~The Company is required to withhold employee payroll taxes and will be required to fund and pay employer payroll taxes.~~ The associated asset and liability balances are based on observable market data relating to the CPA Global acquisition that occurred on October 1, 2020. Changes in the receivable asset and liability are recorded to Cost of revenues and Selling, general and administrative costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The current and non-current portions of the liability are recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities, respectively. The current and non-current portions of the receivable asset is recorded in Other current assets and Other non-current assets, respectively. The balances are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. This fair value measurement is based on observable market data and other indirect observable market inputs and thus represents a Level 2 measurement as defined in ASC 820.

Non-Financial Assets Valued on a Non-Recurring Basis

The ~~Company’s~~Company’s long-lived assets, including goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible and finite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are measured at cost but are written-down to fair value, if necessary, as a result of impairment.

Finite-lived Intangible Assets —— If a triggering event occurs, the Company determines the estimated fair value of finite-lived intangible assets by determining the present value of the expected cash flows.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset —— If a qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset, the Company determines the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset (trade name) by determining the present value of the estimated royalty payments on an after-tax basis that it would be required to pay the owner for the right to use such trade name. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, annually as of October 1 or more frequently if impairment indicators arise in accordance with ASC Topic 350. The Company performs qualitative analysis of macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, internal cost factors, financial performance, fair value history and other company specific events. If this qualitative analysis indicates that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value is less than the book value for the respective reporting unit, the Company applies a one-step impairment test in which the Company determines whether the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, the Company performs the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied estimated fair value of the reporting ~~unit’s~~unit’s goodwill. The Company determines the implied estimated fair value of goodwill by determining the present value of the estimated future cash flows for each reporting unit and comparing the reporting ~~unit’s~~unit’s risk profile and growth prospects to selected, reasonably similar publicly traded companies.

Right of Use Asset —— The guidance in ASC 360-10 requires three steps to identify, recognize and measure the impairment of a long-lived asset (asset group) to be held and used. The Company evaluates whether there are indicators of impairment present (i.e., whether there are any events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset (group) might not be recoverable, including the ceased use of the leased property). The Company performs tests for recoverability and if indicators of impairment are present, the Company perform a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived asset (asset group) in question to the carrying amount of the long-lived asset (asset group). If the undiscounted cash flows used in the test for recoverability are less than the carrying amount of the long-lived asset (asset group), the Company determines the fair value of the long-lived asset (asset group) and recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, an impairment charge was recorded where the carrying value of the operating lease right of use asset was reduced by ~~$70,043,~~$69,625, which are non-cash charges. Additionally, the Company incurred $0 and $137 in lease termination fees during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3,104 and $137 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Fair value assumptions including sublease probabilities and the present value factor were used in the impairment calculation.

Term Loan Facility (2026)

In connection with the DRG acquisition, the Company incurred an incremental $360,000 of borrowings under our term loan facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings to fund a portion of the DRG acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.

In addition, the Company secured the backstop of a $950,000 fully committed bridge facility in connection with the DRG acquisition. However, the Company obtained all required financing with proceeds from the additional term loan borrowings and through a primary equity offering in February 2020. As such, the bridge facility remained undrawn through its expiration on closing of the acquisition.

On October 1, 2020, in connection with the CPA Global acquisition, the Company incurred an incremental $1,600,000 of borrowings under our term loan facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings to fund the repayment of CPA Global's parent company outstanding debt of $2,055,822. Previously, the Company had secured the backstop of a $1,500,000 fully committed bridge facility. However, the Company obtained all required financing with proceeds from the additional term loan borrowings and the bridge facility remained undrawn through its expiration on closing of the acquisition.

0Revolving Credit Facility

On October 1, 2020, the Company borrowed $60,000 on the existing Revolving Credit Facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings to fund the debt extinguishment costs in connection with funding of the repayment of CPA Global's parent company outstanding debt. The amount was repaid in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the revolving credit facility has remained undrawn in the period subsequent to the pay down. The revolving credit facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.375% per annum.

With respect to the Credit Facilities, the Company may be subject to certain negative covenants, including either a fixed charge coverage ratio, total first lien net leverage ratio, or total net leverage ratio if certain conditions are met. As of June 30, 2021, the company was not required to perform these covenants as we are in compliance with the conditions for the credit facilities.

The obligations of the borrowers under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by UK Holdco and certain of its restricted subsidiaries and are collateralized by substantially all of UK ~~Holdco’s~~Holdco’s and certain of its restricted ~~subsidiaries’~~subsidiaries’ assets (with customary exceptions described in the Credit Agreement). UK Holdco and its restricted subsidiaries are subject to certain covenants including restrictions on UK ~~Holdco’s~~Holdco’s ability to pay dividends, incur indebtedness, grant a lien over its assets, merge or consolidate, make investments, or make payments to affiliates.

Senior Notes (2029) and Senior Secured Notes (2028)

In June 2021, we issued a private placement offering of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due June 30, 2028 (the "Secured Notes") and $1,000,000 in aggregate principle amount of Senior Notes due June 30, 2029 (the "Unsecured Notes" and, together with the Secured Notes, the "Notes") bearing interest at a rate of 3.875% and 4.875% per annum, respectively. The interest is payable semi-annually to holders of record on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021. The Notes due 2028 and 2029 were issued by Clarivate Science Holdings Corporation (the "Issuer"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Clarivate.

We intend to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for the announced ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses. See Note 26 - Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the ProQuest acquisition. Concurrently with the closing of this offering, the Issuer deposited the gross proceeds into segregated escrow accounts. If the escrow conditions (which include conditions relating to the consummation of the ProQuest acquisition) are not satisfied on or prior to November 8, 2021, or if it is otherwise determined that any of the applicable escrow release conditions will not be satisfied, the Notes will be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the initial issue price of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from June 24, 2021 (the "Issue Date" of the Notes), up to, but excluding, the date of such special mandatory redemption. Prior to closing of the ProQuest acquisition, the Notes are not guaranteed but are secured by a first-priority security interest in the escrow accounts. Given the conditions related to the consummation of the ProQuest acquisition, we have classified the debt as a Current Liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the amount held in escrow as Restricted Cash.

Upon consummation of the ProQuest acquisition, the Notes will be guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s indirect subsidiaries that is an obligor or guarantor under ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s existing credit facilities and senior secured notes due 2026. The Secured Notes are secured on a first-lien pari passu basis with borrowings under the existing credit facilities and senior secured notes, and the Unsecured Notes are the ~~Issuer’s~~Issuer’s and such ~~guarantors’~~guarantors’ unsecured obligations. At this time, the debt will be reclassified as Long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the amount released from escrow as Cash and cash equivalents.

The carrying value of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s variable interest rate debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the interest rate benchmark rates. The fair value of the fixed rate debt is estimated based on market observable data for debt with similar prepayment features. The fair value of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s debt was $5,592,332 and $3,574,282 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The debt is considered a Level 2 liability under the fair value hierarchy.

Upon consummation of the 2019 Transaction, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 52,800,000 ordinary shares. Each outstanding whole warrant of Churchill represents the right to purchase one ordinary share of the Company in lieu of 1 share of Churchill ordinary stock upon closing of the 2019 Transaction at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing upon the later of (i) 30 days after the completion of the 2019 Transaction and (ii) September 11, 2019.

Each of our MCPS will automatically convert on the second business day immediately following the last trading day of the "Settlement Period" (the 30 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the 31st Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding June 1, 2024) into between 3.2052 and 3.8462 of our ordinary shares (respectively, the ~~“Minimum~~“Minimum Conversion ~~Rate”~~Rate” and ~~“Maximum~~“Maximum Conversion ~~Rate”~~Rate”), each subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The number of our ordinary shares issuable on conversion of the convertible preferred shares will be determined based on an Average VWAP per ordinary share over the Settlement Period. At any time prior to June 1, 2024, holders may elect to convert each convertible preferred share into ordinary shares at the Minimum Conversion Rate.

Holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to convert all or any portion of their shares at any time until the close of business on the mandatory conversion date. Early conversions that are not in connection with a ~~“Make-Whole~~“Make-Whole Fundamental ~~Change”~~Change” will be settled at the minimum conversion rate. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, holders of the Preferred Stock will, in certain circumstances, be entitled to convert their shares at an increased conversion rate for a specified period of time and receive an amount to compensate them for certain unpaid accumulated dividends and any remaining future scheduled dividend payments.

The Preferred Stock will not be redeemable at our election before the mandatory conversion date. The holders of the Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights, with limited exceptions. In the event that Preferred Stock dividends have not been declared and paid in an aggregate amount corresponding to six or more dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to elect two new directors until all accumulated and unpaid Preferred Stock dividends have been paid in full, at which time that right will terminate.

Employee Incentive Plans

Prior to the 2019 Transaction, the Company operated under its 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, which provided for certain employees of the Company to be eligible to participate in equity ownership in the Company. On May 8, 2019, in anticipation of the 2019 Transaction, the Board adopted the 2019 Incentive Award Plan, which was an amendment, restatement and continuation of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan. Upon closing of the 2019 Transaction, awards under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan were converted using the exchange ratio established during the 2019 Transaction and assumed into the 2019 Incentive Award Plan (See Note 4 - Business Combinations). The 2019 Incentive Award Plan permits the granting of awards in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units and other stock-based or cash based awards. Equity awards may be issued in the form of restricted shares or restricted share units with dividend rights or dividend equivalent rights subject to vesting terms and

A maximum aggregate amount of 60,000,000 ordinary shares are reserved for issuance under the 2019 Incentive Award Plan. Equity awards under the 2019 Incentive Award Plan may be issued in the form of options to purchase shares of the Company which are exercisable upon the occurrence of conditions specified within individual award agreements. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 41,488,983 and 42,785,926, respectively, awards have not been granted. The 2020 figure includes PSU awards at grant. Refer to the PSU section below for specifications of payout of these awards deemed probable.

Total share-based compensation expense, inclusive of cash and non-cash expense, included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations amounted to ~~$15,861~~$58,138 and $6,856 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and ~~$26,521~~$97,158 and $24,325 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was approximately $35,985 and $83,654 during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company accounts for awards issued under the 2019 Incentive Award Plan as additional contributions to equity. Share-based compensation includes expense associated with stock option grants which is estimated based on the grant date fair value of the award issued.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted. The Black-Scholes model takes into account the fair value of an ordinary share and the contractual and expected term of the stock option, expected volatility, dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate. Prior to becoming a public company, the fair value of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s ordinary shares were determined utilizing an external third-party pricing specialist.

The contractual term of the option ranges from one year to ten years. Expected volatility is the average volatility over the expected terms of comparable public entities from the same industry. The risk-free interest rate is based on a treasury rate with a remaining term similar to the contractual term of the option. The Company is recently formed and at this time does not expect to distribute any dividends to the holders of the Company's common shares. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

0Restricted Stock Units ~~(“RSUs”~~(“RSUs”)

RSUs typically vest from one year to three years and are generally subject to either cliff vesting or graded vesting. RSUs do not have non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. The fair value of RSUs is typically based on the fair value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant. We amortize the value of these awards to expense over the vesting period on a graded-scale basis. The Company recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Performance Stock Units ~~(“PSUs”~~(“PSUs”)

The Company began granting PSUs (the "Original PSUs") to certain members of management on April 1, 2020 under the 2019 Incentive Award Plan. The Original PSUs typically vest over three years and are subject to performance conditions with a modifier of relative TSR as compared to the S&P&P 500 for vesting. The fair value of the PSUs is based on the fair value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant and valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. In years one and two of the three year vesting period, it was not possible to predict the likelihood of achieving the target and therefore, the performance condition was deemed not probable as of June 30, 2021. Accordingly, 0no compensation expense was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

During December of 2020, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the ~~“HRCC”~~“HRCC”) considered the need to continue to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s shareholders and to compensate our named executive officers for the significant value created for shareholders in 2020. In addition, the HRCC considered the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the value of the Original PSUs granted to our named executive officers earlier in 2020, which are eligible to vest based on the achievement of certain three-year financial performance metrics. In choosing the primary performance goals for the Original PSUs, the HRCC had not anticipated the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on certain elements of performance, which significantly reduced the anticipated value of the Original PSUs.

The Company made a one-time grant of additional PSUs to certain key employees, including its named executive officers on December 17, 2020 under the 2019 Incentive Award Plan. The PSUs are eligible to vest based upon ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s three-year total shareholder return ~~(“TSR”~~(“TSR”) as compared to the TSR of the S&P&P 500 for the same period (the ~~“TSR PSUs”~~“TSR PSUs”). The TSR PSUs cover the period from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022 and have a payout range of 0% to 120% of target. The TSR PSU grants vest over three years and are subject to market conditions for vesting. The probability of achieving the market conditions are incorporated into the fair value of the award, and related expense is recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of the PSUs is based on the fair value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant and valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. Accordingly, the Company recognized $1,113 and $2,258 of compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. In the event that the Original PSUs vest, the TSR PSUs will be forfeited.

On March 1, 2021 and May 15, 2021 the Company granted 499,141 and 28,577 PSUs to key employees under the 2019 Incentive Award Plan. These PSUs are eligible to vest based on Clarivate's three-year total shareholder return ("TSR") as compared to the TSR of the S&P&P 500 for the same period as well as the Company's performance against forecasted results. These PSUs cover from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 and have a payout range of 0% to 200%. These PSUs vest over three years and are subject to market conditions. The probability of achieving the market conditions are incorporated into the fair value of the award, and related expense is recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of the

Warrants

In connection with the acquisition of Churchill Capital Corp consummated on May 13, 2019, the Company had warrants outstanding for certain individuals to purchase an aggregate of 52,800,000 ordinary shares with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, consisting of 34,500,000 public warrants and 18,300,000 Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2020, 0no public warrants were outstanding. On January 21, 2021, one warrant holder exercised warrants for 212,174 ordinary shares through a cashless redemption in which 80,610 shares were withheld to cover the exercise price. The net impact of the redemption was an issuance of 131,564 shares. As of June 30, 2021, there were 17,813,826 ordinary shares outstanding for Private Placement Warrants.

2019 Transaction Related Awards

Upon consummation of the 2019 Transaction, there were 7,000,000 ordinary shares of Clarivate (the "Merger Shares") issuable if the last sale price of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s ordinary shares is at least $20.00 for 40 days over a 60 consecutive trading day period on or before the sixth anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction. In accordance with the terms of the Sponsor Agreement and in connection with our merger with Churchill in 2019, the Merger Shares were issued to persons designated by Messrs. Stead and Klein. On January 31, 2020, our Board agreed to waive the performance vesting condition, and the Merger Shares became issuable on or prior to December 31, 2020 to persons designated by Messrs. Stead and Klein. We engaged a third party specialist to fair value the awards at the modification date using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The assumptions in the model included, but were not limited to, risk-free interest rate, 1.33%; expected volatility of the Company's and its peer group's stock prices, 20.00%; and dividend yield, 0.00%. The Company has evaluated and recorded additional stock compensation expense as required upon the assignment of Merger Shares as applicable. The Merger Shares were issued as ordinary shares to persons designated by Jerre Stead and Michael Klein on June 1, 2020 as part of the June 2020 underwritten public offering. The Company recognized $13,720 of expense during the year ended December 31, 2020, in Share-based compensation expense as a result of the waived performance vesting conditions.

The Sponsor Agreement provided that certain ordinary shares of Clarivate available for distribution to persons designated in the Sponsor Agreement in connection with the Transactions, and certain Clarivate warrants available for distribution to such persons, in each case, were subject to certain time and performance-based vesting provisions described below.

The vesting conditions added to certain ordinary shares include the following:

5,309,713 ordinary shares of Clarivate held by persons designated in the Sponsor Agreement, will vest in three equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, respectively, and are not contingent on continuing or future service of the respective holders to the Company.

2,654,856 ordinary shares of Clarivate held by such persons will vest at such time as the last sale price of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s ordinary shares is at least $15.25 on or before the date that is 42 months after the closing of the 2019 Transaction; provided that none of such Clarivate ordinary shares will vest prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, not more than 1/3 of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, and not more than 2/3 of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the third anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction. Further, such vesting is not contingent on continuing or future service of the respective holders to the Company.

2,654,856 ordinary shares of Clarivate held by such persons will vest at such time as the last sale price of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s ordinary shares is at least $17.50 on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction; provided that none of such Clarivate ordinary shares will vest prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, not more than 1/3 of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, and not more than 2/3 of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the third anniversary of the closing of the 2019

Transaction. Further, such vesting is not contingent on continuing or future service of the respective holders to the Company.

The vesting conditions added to certain warrants include the following:

17,265,826 of certain warrants held by persons designated in the Sponsor Agreement, will vest at such time as the last sale price of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s ordinary shares is at least $17.50 on or before the fifth anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction; provided that none of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, not more than 1/3 of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction, and not more than 2/3 of such Clarivate warrants will vest prior to the third anniversary of the closing of the 2019 Transaction. Further, such vesting is not contingent on continuing or future service of the respective holders to the Company.

In considering the terms of the transaction related awards, the Company notes that the time based vesting restrictions were not conditioned on any continuing or future service of the holders to the Company, and reflect ~~“lock-up”~~“lock-up” periods of the issuable shares. Further, the above mentioned performance-based restrictions were considered market conditions pursuant to ASC 718, and are contemplated in the value of the awards. As such vesting restrictions were contemplated in conjunction with the granting of the merger shares (See Note 16 - ~~Shareholders’~~Shareholders’ Equity), the Company considered such terms of the total basket of transaction awards in determination of the fair value of the awards. As no continued or future service was required by the holders of such awards, the Company recognized compensation expense in the second quarter of 2019 based on the fair value of such awards upon closing of the 2019 Transaction. The Company recognized $25,013 expense, net in Share-based compensation expense as of the date of the 2019 Transaction in accordance with the issuance of the merger shares offset by the addition of vesting terms to certain ordinary shares and warrants, as described above. The expense included the increases in value of $48,102 for the granting of merger shares, the increase in value of $1,193 for ordinary shares with only time vesting conditions, and the increase in value of shares purchased by the Founders immediately prior to the transaction of $4,411, all offset by the reduction in value of $9,396 for ordinary shares with performance vesting condition of $15.25, the reduction in value of $13,101 for ordinary shares with performance vesting condition of $17.50 and the reduction in value of $6,297 related to warrants. Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, certain founders of Churchill Capital Corp purchased an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Class B ordinary stock of Churchill immediately prior to the closing of the 2019 Transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000.

We used a third-party specialist to fair value the awards at the 2019 Transaction close date of May 13, 2019 using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The assumptions included in the model include, but are not limited to, risk-free interest rate, 2.20%; expected volatility of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s and the peer ~~group’s~~group’s stock prices, 20.00%; and dividend yield, 0.00%.

discount for lack of marketability ~~(“DLOM”~~(“DLOM”) was applied to shares that are subject to remaining post vesting lock up restrictions. The DLOM was between 3% - 7% dependent on the length of the post vesting restriction period.

On August 14, 2019, Clarivate (on its behalf and on behalf of its subsidiaries) agreed to waive the performance and time vesting conditions, described above, subject to the consummation of the secondary offering. These shares and warrants nevertheless remain subject to a lock-up for a period ranging from two years to three years following the closing of the Mergers. We used a third-party specialist to fair value the awards at the modification date using the Monte Carlo simulation approach. The assumptions included in the model include, but are not limited to, risk-free interest rate, 1.42%; expected volatility of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s and the peer ~~group’s~~group’s stock prices, 20.00%; and dividend yield, 0.00%. A DLOM was applied to shares that are subject to remaining post vesting lock up restrictions. The DLOM was between 3% - 7% dependent on the length of the post vesting restriction period.

CPA Global Phantom Plan

The acquired CPA Global business had a legacy phantom equity compensation plan. Under the plan, there are two groups of employee participants, including a non-management employee participant group and a management participant group. The vesting period for the management participant group plan includes both a lock up period vesting date of October 1, 2021, and an extended lock up period vesting date of October 1, 2022. The non-management employee participant group included a lock up period vesting period of October 1, 2021. Under the plan, participants who cease to be employees prior to vesting would forfeit their awards. Given that the awards will be settled in cash, they are accounted for as a liability award in accordance with ASC 718. The liability balance is marked to market at the end of each reporting period.

In connection with the purchase accounting in accordance with ASC 805, the Company performed an analysis by grant date to attribute the liability between the pre and post combination periods. Accordingly, the Company recorded a precombination liability of $19,478 which was offset to goodwill in purchase accounting. The precombination liability is accreted over the remaining service periods and the related share-based compensation charge is recorded within the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Given the nature of the lock up periods and the retentive element to the awards for the benefit of Clarivate, post acquisition share-based compensation charges of $43,879 and $73,358 were recorded within the Cost of revenues and Selling, general and administrative costs line items of the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. To the extent vesting of awards were accelerated for colleagues whose employment was involuntarily terminated, the Company accounted for these as a modification and acceleration of share-based compensation charges of $9,024 and $12,252 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 within the Restructuring and impairment line item of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Note 18: Income Taxes

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an income tax provision of ~~$10,868~~$8,207 on loss before income tax of ~~$71,342~~$123,360 and a benefit of $5,385 on loss before income tax of $30,666, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized an income tax provision of ~~$14,437~~$8,470 on loss before income tax of ~~$91,727~~$179,048 and $9,368 on loss before income tax of $145,546, respectively. The tax provision in each period three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, reflects the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax profits and losses were recognized.

Note 19: Earnings Per Share

Basic net earnings per common share from continuing operations ~~(“EPS”~~(“EPS”) is calculated by taking Income (loss) available to ordinary stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted net EPS is computed by taking net earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the number of additional shares which have a dilutive effect. Due to the Company being in a loss position during three and six month period ended June 30, 2021, all potentially dilutive instruments were seen to be anti-dilutive and excluded from the dilutive calculation.

Potential ordinary shares of 27,890,846 and 35,797,137 of Private Placement Warrants, options, RSUs, and PSUs related to the 2019 Incentive Award Plan were excluded from diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as the Company had a net loss and their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive or their performance metric was not met. See Note 16 - ~~Shareholders’~~Shareholders’ Equity and Note 17 - Employment and Compensation Arrangements for additional information.

The potential dilutive effect of our MCPS outstanding during the period was calculated using the if-converted method assuming the conversion as of the earliest period reported or at the date of issuance, if later. The resulting common shares related to our MCPS are not included in the dilutive weighted-average common shares outstanding calculation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as their effect would be anti-dilutive given the net loss incurred in the period.

~~Note 21: Segment Information~~

The Chief Executive Officer is the ~~Company’s~~Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ~~(“CODM”~~(“CODM”). Prior to the fourth quarter of 2020, the ~~Company’s~~Company’s CODM previously assessed the Company-wide performance and allocated resources based on consolidated financial information. During the fourth quarter of 2020, in connection with the CPA Global combination, the company realigned its reporting structure and changed the manner in which the CODM allocates resources and assesses performance. The CODM organizes the Company within products lines and, as a result, 2 new operating segments were created including the Science Group and Intellectual Property Group. The segment reporting changes were retrospectively applied to all periods presented. The CODM evaluates segment performance based primarily on revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA, as described below. The CODM does not review assets by operating segment for the purposes of assessing performance or allocated resources.

Each of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s reportable segments, Science Group and Intellectual Property Group, recognizes revenue in accordance with the revenue recognition policy within Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's Form 10-K/A.A2. Below is the overview of the product lines within each reportable segment.

Science: The Science segment consists of our Academic and Life Sciences Product Lines. Both provide curated, high-value, structured information that is delivered and embedded into the workflows of our customers, which include research-intensive corporations, life science organizations and universities world-wide.

Intellectual Property: The Intellectual Property segment consists of our Patent, Trademark, Domain, and IP Management Product Lines. These Product Lines help manage ~~customer’s~~customer’s end-to-end portfolio of intellectual property from patents to trademarks to corporate website domains.

Each of the two operating segments represent the segments for which discrete financial information is available and upon which operating results are regularly evaluated by the CODM in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The CODM evaluates performance based primarily on revenue and segment Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents net (loss) income before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense adjusted to exclude acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest income and expense from divestitures), losses on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign currency gains/(losses), costs associated with the transition services agreement with Thomson Reuters, separation and integration costs, transformational and restructuring expenses, acquisition-related adjustments to deferred revenues, costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019, non-cash income/(loss) on equity and cost method investments, non-operating income or expense, the impact of certain non-cash, legal settlements and other items that are included in net income for the period that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and certain unusual items impacting results in a particular period.

Note 22: Commitments and Contingencies

The Company does not have any recorded or unrecorded guarantees of the indebtedness of others.

Lawsuits and Legal Claims

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings, claims, audits and investigations that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These matters may include among others, antitrust/competition claims, intellectual property infringement claims, employment matters and commercial matters. The outcome of all of the matters against the Company is subject to future resolution, including the uncertainties of litigation.

From time to time, we are involved in litigation in the ordinary course of our business, including claims or contingencies that may arise related to matters occurring prior to our acquisition of businesses. At the present time, primarily because the matters are generally in early stages, we can give no assurance as to the outcome of any pending litigation to which we are currently a party, and we are unable to determine the ultimate resolution of these matters or the effect they may have on us.

Our best estimate of the Company's potential liability for the larger legal claims is $65,800, which includes estimated legal costs and accrued interest. The recorded probable loss is an estimate and the actual costs arising from our litigation could be materially lower or higher. We do not expect the outcome of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. We have and will continue to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims. We maintain appropriate insurance that we expect is likely to provide coverage for some of these liabilities or other losses that may arise from these litigation matters.

Warrant Liabilities

Under Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, ("ASC 815"), warrant instruments that do not meet the criteria to be considered indexed to an entity's own stock shall be initially classified as a liability at their estimated fair values, regardless of the likelihood that such instruments will ever be settled in cash. In periods subsequent to issuance, changes in the estimated fair value of the liabilities are reported through earnings.

Contingent Liabilities

In conjunction with the acquisition of Publons, the Company agreed to pay former shareholders up to an additional $9,500 through 2020. Amounts payable were contingent upon ~~Publons’~~Publons’ achievement of certain milestones and performance metrics. As a result of Publons achieving the first tier of milestones and performance metrics during 2020, the earn-out was settled at that time. As such, the Company had an outstanding liability of $0 related to the estimated fair value of this contingent consideration as of December 31, 2020.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Kopernio, the Company paid former shareholders $2,184 during the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to the achievement of certain milestones and performance metrics. As a result of the payment, no further obligations exist as of December 31, 2020.

Amounts payable were contingent upon ~~TrademarkVision’s~~TrademarkVision’s achievement of certain milestones and performance metrics. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company paid $8,000 of the contingent purchase price to complete the earn-out. Due to the earn-out being settled during 2020, the outstanding liability as of December 31, 2020 was $0.

In conjunction with the acquisition of DRG, the Company agreed to pay up to 2,895,638 shares as contingent stock consideration, valued at $58,897 on the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 4 - Business Combinations for more information on the contingent stock consideration. Amounts payable were contingent upon any indemnity losses or claims to indemnity losses occurring within that one-year period. During March 2021, the Company issued 2,895,638 shares as per the purchase agreement for the acquisition of DRG for a total of $61,619 which was satisfied. The issuance of these shares represents a non-cash financing activity on the statement of cash flows.

In conjunction with the acquisition of CPA Global, the Company agreed to pay up to 1,500,000 shares as contingent stock consideration, valued at $46,485 on the closing date of the acquisition. See Note 4 - Business Combinations for more information on the contingent stock consideration. The amount was payable 110 days after the acquisition date and was contingent upon any indemnity losses or claims for indemnity losses as defined in the purchase agreement. During January 2021, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares as per the purchase agreement for the acquisition of CPA Global related to a hold-back clause for a total of $43,890 which was satisfied. The issuance of these shares represents a non-cash financing activity on the statement of cash flows.

ProQuest Acquisition Contingent Fees

Upon consummation of the acquisition of ProQuest, which we announced on May 17, 2021 (see Note 26 - Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the ProQuest acquisition), the Company agreed to pay 46,910,923 of our ordinary shares to the sellers to fund a portion of the estimated purchase price.

Additionally, certain payments are contingent upon the consummation of the ProQuest acquisition, including $27,500 associated with the discount on debt for the underwriter's fee, which once incurred, will be netted against the balance of funds received, as well as $83,250 of transaction-related fees.

Note 24: Restructuring and Impairment

During 2020, we engaged a strategic consulting firm to assist us in optimizing our structure and cost base. As a result, we have implemented several cost-saving and margin improvement programs designed to generate substantial incremental cash flow including the Operation, Simplification and Optimization Program, the DRG Acquisition Integration Program, the CPA Global Acquisition Integration and Optimization Program, and most recently the One Clarivate Program. In connection with the CPA Global Acquisition restructuring program, a social plan was entered into in Belgium. Liabilities for non-retirement post-employment benefits that fall under ASC 712 are recognized when the severance liability was determined to be probable of being paid and reasonably estimable.

Operation Simplification and Optimization Program

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company approved restructuring actions designed to streamline our operations by simplifying our organization and focusing on two segments in planned phases. Restructuring charges included actions to reduce operational costs.

Note 26: Subsequent Events

On May 17, 2021, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire ProQuest, a leading global software, data and analytics provider to academic, research and national institutions, from Cambridge Information Group ~~(“CIG”~~(“CIG”), Atairos and certain other equity holders (the ~~“Seller Group”~~“Seller Group”) for approximately $4,000,000 in cash and 46,910,923 Clarivate ordinary shares. Closing of the ProQuest transaction is subject to customary conditions, including clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.

On July 28, 2021, Clarivate received a second request for documents and other information from the Federal Trade Commission (the ~~“FTC”~~“FTC”), which is reviewing the ProQuest acquisition pursuant to authority under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. In view of receiving the ~~FTC’s~~FTC’s second request, on July 28, 2021, Clarivate and the Seller Group entered into an amendment (the ~~“Amendment”~~“Amendment”) to the Transaction Agreement extending the outside date for completion of the acquisition from November 8, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Although the Company hopes to be in a position to complete the proposed acquisition in the second half of 2021, the Company and the Seller Group each have the option to extend the new outside date to April 29, 2022.

If the ProQuest acquisition is not completed by November 8, 2021, Clarivate Science Holdings Corporation would be obligated to redeem all outstanding Senior Notes (2029) and Senior Secured Notes (2028) whether or not Clarivate expects the ProQuest acquisition to be completed within the timetable contemplated by the Amendment. Clarivate has obtained a $2,000,000 unsecured bridge facility to provide certainty of funds for completion of the ProQuest acquisition. The bridge facility has a variable contingent fee structure based on the length of time the commitment is outstanding. The facility matures within 1 year of the funding.

Management has evaluated the impact of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2021. Based on this evaluation, other than disclosed within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes, the Company has determined no other events were required to be recognized or disclosed.

Except as discussed above and as further described in Note 27 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has not modified or updated disclosures presented in the Original Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the Original Form 10-Q or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects disclosures made at the time of the filing of the Original Form 10-Q.

~~Item 2. Management’s~~Note 27: Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

As disclosed in the 10-K Amendment No. 2 filed with the SEC on February 3, 2022, the Company identified certain errors in its historical annual Consolidated Financial Statements related to the accounting treatment of certain awards made by CPA Global under the CPA Global Phantom Equity Plan that were incorrectly included as part of the acquisition accountingfor the CPA Global Transaction. For the majority of these awards, the Company concluded that expenses should have been recognized as share-based compensation charges over the vesting period from October 1, 2020 to October 1, 2021 with only a portion of the liability recorded as part of acquisitionaccounting. The Company concluded that the financial statements previously issued as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the quarterly period ended December 31, 2020 were misstated.

We also concluded that the impact was material to the Company’s financial statements prepared according to U.S. GAAP. As such, the restated unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021, are defined as the “Restated Periods."

This Note 27 to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements discloses the restatement impact on the originally reported financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2021 and the nature of the associated adjustments. The corrections included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein are further described below.

The restatement included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements was prepared following an independent review by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board.

See Note 26 - Quarterly Financial Data and Note 28 - Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in 10-K Amendment No. 2 for additional information related to the restatements.

Restructuring

During 2020 and 2019, we engaged a strategic consulting firm to assist us in optimizing our structure and cost base. As a result, we have implemented several cost-saving and margin improvement programs designed to generate substantial incremental cash flow including the Operation Simplification and Optimization Program, the DRG Acquisition Integration Program and the CPA Global Acquisition Integration and Optimization Program. During 2021, we approved the One Clarivate restructuring plan, which streamlines operations within targeted areas of the Company. The program will result in a reduction in operational costs, with the primary driver of the cost saving being from a reduction in workforce.

Operation Simplification and Optimization Program

During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company approved restructuring actions designed to streamline our operations by simplifying our organization and focusing on two segments in planned phases. Approximately $43,952 costs have been incurred to date under the program which was substantially complete as of June 30, 2021.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1,206 and $12,522 recognized within Restructuring and impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges were composed of $972 and $8,177 of severance and related benefit costs, $0 and $2,761 of contract exit costs and legal and advisory fees, and $234 and $4,908 of lease impairment and location exit costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $1,635 and $20,276 recognized within Restructuring and impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges were composed of $1,224 and $11,438 of severance and related benefit costs, $49 and $3,930 of contract exit costs and legal and advisory fees, and $362 and 4,908 of lease impairment and location exit costs.

DRG Acquisition Integration Program

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company approved restructuring actions designed to eliminate duplicative costs in planned phases following the acquisition of DRG. Approximately $7,099 of costs have been incurred to date under the program which was substantially complete as of June 30, 2021.

One Clarivate Program

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company approved restructuring actions to streamline operations within targeted areas of the Company. The program will result in a reduction in operational costs, with the primary driver of the cost saving being from a reduction in workforce. As a result of these actions, the company expects to record total pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $5,000 for all approved phases of the program. Approximately $2,044 of costs have been incurred to date under the program and $2,956 are expected to be incurred in a future period, all related to severance charges.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $2,044 and $0 recognized within Restructuring and impairment in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These charges were composed of $2,044 and $0 of severance and related benefit costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Key Performance Indicators

We regularly monitor the following key performance indicators to evaluate our business and trends, measure our performance, prepare financial projections and make strategic decisions.

Adjusted Revenues

We present Adjusted Revenues, which excludes the impact of the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments, which is allowable under the Company's debt covenant calculation, and revenues from divestitures. We present these measures because we believe it is useful to readers to better understand the underlying trends in our operations. See - Certain Non-GAAP Measures - Adjusted Revenues below for important information on the limitations of Adjusted Revenues and their reconciliation to the respective revenues measures under U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a basis upon which our management assesses our performance, and we believe it is useful for investors to understand the underlying trends of our operations. See Certain Non-GAAP Measures - Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for important information on the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to our Net loss under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA represents net loss before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense adjusted to exclude acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs (such costs include net income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and interest income and expense from divestitures), stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign currency gains/(losses), costs associated with the transition services agreement with Thomson Reuters, which we entered into in connection with our separation from Thomson Reuters in 2016, separation and integration costs, transformational and restructuring expenses, acquisition-related adjustments to deferred revenues, costs related to our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019, non-operating income or expense, the impact of certain non-cash, mark to market adjustments on financial instruments and other items that are included in net income for the period that the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance and certain unusual items impacting results in a particular period. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Adjusted Revenues.

~~Annualized Contract Value~~

(In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)

Annualized Contract Value ~~(“ACV”~~

Annualized Contract Value (“ACV”), at a given point in time, represents the annualized value for the next 12 months of subscription-based client license agreements, assuming that all expiring license agreements during that period are renewed at their current price level. License agreements may cover more than one product and the standard subscription period for each license agreement typically runs for no less than 12 months. The renewal period for our subscriptions starts 90 days before the end of the current subscription period, during which customers must provide notice of whether they intend to renew or cancel the license agreement.

~~CLARIVATE PLC~~

~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations~~

~~(In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)~~

An initial subscription period for new customers may be for a term of less than 12 months, in certain circumstances. Most of our customers, however, opt to enter into a full 12-month initial subscription period, resulting in renewal periods spread throughout the calendar year. Customers that license more than one subscription-based product may, at any point during the renewal period, provide notice of their intent to renew only certain subscriptions within the license agreement and cancel other subscriptions, which we typically refer to as a downgrade. In other instances, customers may upgrade their license agreements by adding additional subscription-based products to the original agreement. Our calculation of ACV includes the impact of downgrades, upgrades, price increases, and cancellations that have occurred as of the reporting period. For avoidance of doubt, ACV does not include fees associated with transactional and re-occurring revenues.

We monitor ACV because it represents a leading indicator of the potential subscription revenues that may be generated from our existing customer base over the upcoming 12-month period. Measurement of subscription revenues as a key operating metric is particularly relevant because a majority of our revenues are generated through subscription-based and re-occurring revenues, which accounted for 79.9% and 78.2% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 and 80.2% and 78.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. We calculate and monitor ACV for each of our segments, and use the metric as part of our evaluation of our business and trends.

The amount of actual subscription revenues that we earn over any 12-month period are likely to differ from ACV at the beginning of that period, sometimes significantly. This may occur for numerous reasons, including subsequent changes in annual revenue renewal rates, impact of price increases (or decreases), cancellations, upgrades and downgrades, and acquisitions and divestitures.

We calculate the ACV on a constant currency basis to exclude the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

The following table presents ACV as of the dates indicated:


		June 30,				Change				June 30,						Change
(dollars in thousands)	(dollars in thousands)	2021		2020			2021 vs. 2020				(dollars in thousands)	2021		2020			2021 vs. 2020

Annual Revenue Renewal Rates

Our revenues are primarily subscription based, which leads to high revenue predictability. Our ability to retain existing subscription customers is a key performance indicator that helps explain the evolution of our historical results and is a leading indicator of our revenues and cash flows for the subsequent reporting period.

““Annual revenue renewal ~~rate”~~rate” is the metric we use to determine renewal levels by existing customers across all of our Segments, and is a leading indicator of renewal trends, which impact the evolution of our ACV and results of operations. We calculate the annual revenue renewal rate for a given period by dividing (a) the annualized dollar value of existing subscription product license agreements that are renewed during that period, including the value of any product downgrades, by (b) the annualized dollar value of existing subscription product license agreements that come up for renewal in that period. ~~“Open~~“Open renewals,”” which we define as existing subscription product license agreements that come up for renewal, but are neither renewed nor canceled by customers during the applicable reposting period, are excluded from both the numerator and denominator of the calculation. We calculate the annual revenue renewal rate to reflect the value of product downgrades but not the value of product upgrades upon renewal, because upgrades reflect the purchase of additional services.

The impact of upgrades, new subscriptions and product price increases is reflected in ACV, but not in annual revenue renewal rates. Our annual revenue renewal rates were 90.8% and 92.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Key Components of Our Results of Operations

Revenues, net

The Company disaggregates revenue based on revenue recognition pattern. Subscription based revenues recognize revenue over time, whereas our transactional and re-occurring revenues recognize revenue at a point in time. The Company believes subscription, transaction and re-occurring is reflective of how the Company manages the business.

Subscription-based revenues are recurring revenues that are earned under annual, multi-year, or evergreen contracts, pursuant to which we license the right to use our products to our customers or provide professional services. Revenues from the sale of subscription data and analytics solutions are typically invoiced annually in advance and recognized ratably over the year as revenues are earned. Subscription revenues are driven by annual revenue renewal rates, new subscription business, price increases on existing subscription business and subscription upgrades and downgrades from recurring customers. Substantially all of our historical deferred revenues purchase accounting adjustments are related to subscription revenues.

Transactional revenues are earned under contracts for specific deliverables that are typically quoted on a product, data set or project basis and often derived from repeat customers, including customers that also generate subscription-based revenues. Transactional products and services are invoiced according to the terms of the contract, typically in arrears. Transactional content revenues are usually delivered to the customer instantly or in a short period of time, at which time revenues are recognized. Transactional revenues also include, to a lesser extent, professional services, which are typically performed under contracts that vary in length from several months to years for multi-year projects and are typically invoiced based on the achievement of milestones. The most significant components of our transactional revenues include our ~~“clearance searching”~~“clearance searching” and ~~“backfiles”~~“backfiles” products. Recurring revenues are earned under contracts for specific deliverables that are typically quoted on a product, data set or project basis and often derived from repeat customers. These contracts include either evergreen clauses, in which at least six month advance notice is required prior to cancellation, or the contract is for multiple years.

Re-occurring revenues are earned under contracts for specific deliverables that are typically quoted on a product, data set, or project basis and often derived from repeat customers purchasing cyclical products. These contracts include either evergreen clauses, in which at least six month advance notice is required prior to cancellation, or the contract is for multiple years. Due to the cyclical nature of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s re-occurring products, and there typically being upfront setup time with the customer, the re-occurring revenue stream benefits from an established customer base, with minimal customer attrition. A primary driver of the re-occurring revenue stream is the ~~‘renewal’~~‘renewal’ business obtained from the CPA global acquisition. Revenue from this revenue stream is typically recognized upon delivery.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists of costs related to the production, servicing and maintenance of our products and are composed primarily of related personnel costs, such as salaries, benefits, and bonuses for employees, fees for contracted labor, and data center services and licensing costs. Cost of revenues also includes the costs to acquire or produce content, royalties payable and non-capitalized R&D&D expenses. Cost of revenues does not include production costs related to internally generated software, which are capitalized.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative costs consist primarily of salaries, benefits, commission and bonuses for the executive, finance and accounting, human resources, administrative, sales and marketing personnel, third-party professional services fees, such as legal and accounting expenses, facilities rent and utilities and technology costs associated with our corporate infrastructure. Also included within these costs are transaction expenses including costs incurred to complete business combination transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and capital market activities and include advisory, legal, and other professional and consulting costs.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense relates to our fixed assets, including mainly computer hardware and leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures. These assets are depreciated over their expected useful lives, and in the case of leasehold improvements over the shorter of their useful life or the duration of the related lease.

~~(In~~ (In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)

Amortization

Amortization expense relates to our finite-lived intangible assets, including mainly databases and content, customer relationships, internally generated computer software and trade names. These assets are amortized over periods of between two and twenty three years. Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when indicators are present, and, if impaired, are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows.

Restructuring and Impairment

Restructuring and impairment expense includes costs associated with involuntary termination benefits, including the acceleration of share-based compensation charges resulting from modification accounting, provided to employees under the terms of a one-time benefit arrangement, ongoing benefit arrangements, certain contract termination costs, other costs associated with an exit or disposal activity and impairment charges associated with right of use assets in which the Company has ceased the use of during the period.

Other Operating Income (Expense), Net

Other operating income (expense), net consists of gains or losses related to the disposal of our assets, asset impairments or write-downs and the consolidated impact of re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of our company, sublease income, gain recognized on foreign exchange contract settlement and our subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than each relevant entity's functional currency.

Mark to Market Adjustment on Financial Instruments

Mark to market adjustment on financial instruments consists of the mark to market accounting adjustments related to certain of the Company's warrants issued to the founders of Churchill Capital Corp, a special purpose acquisition company or ~~“SPAC”~~“SPAC” with which the Company consummated a business combination transaction in May 2019.

Interest Expense and Amortization of Debt Discount, Net

Interest expense, net consists of expense related to interest on our borrowings under our term loan facility and our secured notes due 2026, senior unsecured notes due in 2029 and senior secured notes due in 2028, the amortization and write off of debt issuance costs and original discount, and interest related to certain derivative instruments.

Provision for Income Taxes

A provision for income tax is calculated for each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The benefit or provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The benefit or provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and income tax related penalties are included in the provision for income taxes.

Science Segment: Revenues of $393,579 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $62,648, or 18.9%, from $330,931 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased by $48,154, or 14.6%, primarily due to acquisitive growth and organic subscription and transactional revenue growth. Acquisitive growth was generated from the DRG Transaction and included a full six months of growth in 2021. Organic revenues increased due to favorable timing as well as growth resulting from stronger back file and custom data sales and strength in our professional services business lines.

Intellectual Property Segment: Revenues of $484,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $296,414, or 157.3%, from $188,475 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased by $290,979, or 154.4%. Acquisitive growth was generated from the CPA Global Transaction, IncoPat Transaction, and the Hanlim Transaction. Disposal reduction was derived from the Techstreet Transaction. Organic revenues, on a constant currency basis increased primarily due to growth in transactional revenue on improved trademark search transactional volumes.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues of ~~$136,607~~$149,699 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$44,228,~~$57,320, or ~~47.9%~~62.0%, from $92,379 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Cost of revenues of ~~$275,348~~$297,574 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$100,288,~~$122,514, or ~~57.3%~~70.0%, from $175,060 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, cost of revenues increased by ~~$41,594,~~$54,686, or ~~45.0%~~59.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. On a constant currency basis, cost of revenues increased by ~~$95,759,~~$117,985, or ~~54.7%~~67.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to additional costs related to the CPA Global Transaction, which was acquired in October 2020, as well as an increase in share-based compensation expenses, partially offset by the Techstreet divestiture in Q4 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expense of ~~$149,814~~$179,716 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$46,149,~~$76,051, or ~~44.5%~~73.4%, from $103,665 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, selling, general and administrative expense increased by ~~$43,416,~~$73,318, or ~~41.9%~~70.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was due to increased costs associated with the CPA Global Transaction, partially offset by the Techstreet divestiture in Q4 2020. Selling, general and administrative expense of ~~$261,159~~$314,002 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$24,438,~~$77,281, or ~~10.3%~~32.6%, from $236,721 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. On a constant currency basis, selling, general and administrative expense increased by ~~$20,079,~~$72,922, or ~~8.5%~~30.8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due increased costs associated with the CPA Global Transaction, partially offset by a reduction in transaction expenses associated with the DRG acquisition in Q1 of 2020, the

~~(In~~ (In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)

Techstreet divestiture in Q4 2020, a gain associated with the mark to market adjustment on contingent and phantom shares, and a reduction in employee related costs and outside services including consulting fees and marketing costs.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense of $3,253 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $349, or 12.0%, from $2,904 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Depreciation expense of $6,586 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $1,353, or 25.9%, from $5,233 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was driven by the additional depreciation on assets acquired through the DRG Transaction and CPA Global Transaction.

Amortization

Amortization expense of $126,923 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $73,682, or 138.4%, from $53,241 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Amortization expense of $255,244 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $152,891, or 149.4%, from $102,353 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was driven by an increase in the amortization of intangible assets acquired through the DRG Transaction, CPA Global Transaction, IncoPat Transaction, and Hanlim Transaction. This increase was offset by a decrease in amortization related to the Techstreet divestiture in Q4 2020.

Restructuring and Impairment

Restructuring and impairment charges of ~~$41,700~~$50,724 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$25,854,~~$34,878, or ~~163.2%~~220.1%, from $15,846 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of ~~$106,367~~$118,619 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$82,767,~~$95,019, or ~~350.7%~~402.6%, from $23,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the acquisitions of DRG in February 2020 and CPA Global in October 2020, to streamline our operations by simplifying our organization and focusing on two segments, as well as costs associated with the One Clarivate Program, in which the Company approved restructuring actions to streamline operations within targeted areas of the Company. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we incurred impairment charges taken on right-of-use assets of ~~$29,059~~$28,641 and ~~$70,043,~~$69,625, respectively, relating the exit and ceased use of leased properties, which were also significant drivers of the increase. The increase was partially offset by the wind down of cost initiatives following our merger with Churchill Capital Corp in 2019.

Other Operating Income (Expense), Net

Other operating income of $900 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, decreased by $7,881, or 89.8%, from other operating income of $8,781 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Other operating expense of $15,330 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $30,143, or 203.5%, from other operating income of $14,813 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The fluctuations were primarily driven by the consolidated impact of the remeasurement of the assets and liabilities of our Company that are denominated in currencies other than each relevant ~~entity’s~~entity’s functional currency.

Mark to Market Adjustment on Financial Instruments

The mark to market adjustment relates to the Private Placement Warrants issued in a private placement concurrently with the Churchill Capital Corp initial public offering and still held by the initial holders. The mark to market adjustment on financial instruments resulted in a loss of $21,021 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a change of 2,769, or 11.6%, compared to a loss of $23,790 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The mark to market adjustment on financial instruments resulted in a gain of $30,194 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a change of $109,616, or 138.0%, compared to a loss of $79,422 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The fluctuations were primarily driven by the Black-Scholes option valuation model and change in the Company's share price for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net of $38,569 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $17,447, or 82.6%, from $21,122 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Interest expense, net of $75,962 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $23,900, or 45.9%, from $52,062 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was primarily attributed to the additional $360,000 incremental term loan borrowing in connection with the DRG Transaction in February

7182

CLARIVATE PLC

~~(In~~ (In thousands, except share and per share data, option prices, ratios or as noted)

2020 and the $1,600,000 incremental term loan borrowing in connection with the CPA Global Transaction in October 2020. In addition, $1,447 of interest was attributable to the June 2021 private placement offering of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes due June 30, 2028 and $1,000,000 in aggregate principle amount of Senior Notes due June 30, 2029, which will be paid irrespective of the consummation of the ProQuest acquisition.

Provision (benefit) for Income Taxes

Provision for income taxes of ~~$10,868~~$8,207 on a pre-tax book loss of ~~$71,342~~$123,360 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by ~~$16,253~~$13,592 from a benefit of $5,385 on a pre-tax book loss of $30,666 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Provision for income taxes of ~~$14,437~~$8,470 on a pre-tax book loss of ~~$91,727~~$179,048 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$5,069~~$898 from a provision of $9,368 on a pre-tax book loss of $145,546 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate being ~~(15.7%)~~4.7%% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to ~~(6.4)%~~6.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The overall ~~increase~~decrease in tax expense is due to the mix of taxing jurisdictions in which pre-tax profits and losses were ~~recognized.~~recognized. The current year effective tax rate may not be indicative of our effective tax rates for future periods.

Certain Non-GAAP Measures

We include non-GAAP measures in this quarterly report, including Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free Cash Flow because they are a basis upon which our management assesses our performance and we believe they reflect the underlying trends and indicators of our business by allowing management to focus on the most meaningful indicators of our continuous operational performance.

Although we believe these measures are useful for investors for the same reasons, we recommend users of the financial statements to note these measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial measures or disclosures. We provide reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the corresponding most closely related GAAP measure.

Adjusted Revenues

We present Adjusted Revenues, which excludes the impact of the deferred revenues purchase accounting adjustments as a result of businesses that we have acquired. We present this measure because we believe it is useful to readers to better understand the underlying trends in our operations. Our presentation of Adjusted Revenues is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of our future results.

The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted Revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and a reconciliation of this measure to our Revenues, net for the same periods:

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Adjusted Revenues.

Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that our projections and estimates will be realized in their entirety or at all. In addition, because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or discretionary cash available to us to fund our cash needs, including investing in the growth of our business and meeting our obligations.

The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and reconciles these measures to our Net loss for the same periods:

offset by the reverse transition services agreement from the sale of MarkMonitor and costs incurred in connection with and after our separation from Thomson Reuters in 2016 relating to the implementation of our standalone company infrastructure and related cost-savings initiatives. These costs include mainly transition consulting, technology infrastructure, personnel and severance expenses relating to our standalone company infrastructure, which are recorded in selling, general and administrative costs in our income statement, as well as expenses related to the restructuring and transformation of our business following our separation from Thomson Reuters in 2016 mainly related to the integration of separate business units into one functional organization and enhancements in our technology.

Free Cash Flow

We use free cash flow in our operational and financial decision-making and believe free cash flow is useful to investors because similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies and other interested parties to evaluate our competitors and to measure the ability of companies to service their debt. Our presentation of free cash flow should not be construed as a measure of liquidity or discretionary cash available to us to fund our cash needs, including investing in the growth of our business and meeting our obligations.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. For further discussion on free cash flow, including a reconciliation to cash flows provided by operating activities, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources - Cash Flows below.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations, including working capital needs, capital expenditures, debt service, acquisitions, other commitments and contractual obligations. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and amounts available under our revolving credit facility. We consider liquidity in terms of the sufficiency of these resources to fund our operating, investing and financing activities for a period of 12 months after the financial statement issuance date.

Our cash flows from operations are generated primarily from payments from our subscription and re-occurring transaction customers. As described above, the standard term of a subscription is typically 12 months. When a customer enters into a new subscription agreement, or submits a notice to renew their subscription, we typically invoice for the full amount of the subscription period, record the balance to deferred revenues, and ratably recognize the deferral throughout the subscription period. As a result, we experience cash flow seasonality throughout the year, with a heavier weighting of operating cash inflows occurring during the first half, and particularly first quarter, of the year, when most subscription invoices are sent, as compared to the second half of the year.

We require and will continue to need significant cash resources to, among other things, meet our debt service requirements under our credit facilities, the unsecured notes due 2029, the secured notes due 2028, the secured notes due 2026 and any future indebtedness, fund our working capital requirements, make capital expenditures (including related to product development), and expand our business through acquisitions. Based on our forecasts, we believe that cash flow from operations, available cash on hand and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be adequate to service debt, meet liquidity needs and fund necessary capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the number of future acquisitions and the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts. We could be required, or could elect, to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt financings; however, additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us.

On June 24, 2021, we issued a private placement offering of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due June 30, 2028 (the "Secured Notes") and $1,000,000 in aggregate principle amount of Senior Notes due June 30, 2029 (the "Unsecured Notes" and, together with the Secured Notes, the "Notes") bearing interest at a rate of 3.875% and 4.875% per annum, respectively. We intend to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021. On October 1, 2020, in connection with the CPA Global acquisition, the Company incurred an incremental $1,600,000 of borrowings under our term loan facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings to fund a portion of the repayment of CPA Global's outstanding debt.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities consists of net loss adjusted for non-cash items, such as: depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets, deferred income taxes, share-based compensation, mark to market adjustments on financial instruments, mark to market adjustment on contingent and phantom shares, deferred finance charges and for changes in net working capital assets and liabilities.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $261,666 and $107,562 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase of $154,104 in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in the source of cash for net working capital, as well as an increase in net income after adjustment for non-cash items such as the mark to market adjustment on financial instruments, the mark to market adjustment on contingent and phantom shares, restructuring and impairment charges, and share-based compensation.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $61,588 and $940,205 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $878,617 decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due acquisitions, net of cash acquired primarily due to the acquisition of DRG in February 2020 and acquisition of intangible assets due to key business intangible assets acquired from CustomerFirst Now in June 2020. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was offset by an increase in capital expenditures and cash flows provided by the divestiture related to the sale of MarkMonitor AntiFraud, Antipiracy, and Brand Protection Products in January 2020.

Our capital expenditures in both 2021 and 2020 consisted primarily of capitalized labor, consulting and other costs associated with product development.

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $4,096,402 and $1,376,254 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The $2,720,148 increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due: (i) increase in proceeds from the issuance of debt due to the private placement offering of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due 2028 and $1,000,000 in aggregate principle amount of Senior Notes due 2029 in June 2021 compared to the $360,000 of borrowings under our term loan facility in February 2020; (ii) increase in proceeds from the issuance of our 5.25% Series A MCPS in June 2021; (iii) decrease in repayment of borrowings under the revolving credit facility; (iv) decrease in contingent purchase price payments related to the TradeMark Vision contingent earn out in the first quarter of 2020; (v) increase in proceeds from the issuance of stock options; and (vi) decrease in the payment of debt issuance costs compared to the prior period. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was offset by: (i) decrease in proceeds from the exercise of the Company's outstanding public warrants in the first quarter of 2020; (ii) decrease in proceeds from the issuance of ordinary shares driven by the Company's public offerings of 27,600,000 ordinary shares at $20.25 per share in February 2020 and 50,400,000 of our ordinary shares at a share price of $22.50 per share, of which 14,000,000 were ordinary shares offered by Clarivate and 36,400,000 were ordinary shares offered by selling shareholders in June 2020 compared to the public offering of 44,230,768 of our ordinary shares at a share price of $26.00, of which 28,846,154 ordinary shares were issued and sold by Clarivate and 15,384,614 were sold by selling shareholders in June 2021; (iii) increase in payments related to tax withholding for share-based compensation; and (iv) increase in principal payments on the term loan.

In February 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 27,600,000 of our ordinary shares, generating net proceeds of $540,736, which we used to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the DRG acquisition. In addition, we incurred an incremental $360,000 of term loans under our term loan facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings, together with cash on hand, to fund the remainder of the cash consideration for the DRG acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses.

In June 2020, we completed an underwritten public offering of 50,400,000 of our ordinary shares at a share price of $22.50. Of the 50,400,000 ordinary shares, 14,000,000 were primary ordinary shares offered by Clarivate and 36,400,000 were secondary ordinary shares offered by selling shareholders including 20,821,765 ordinary shares from Onex, 8,097,354 ordinary shares from Baring and 7,480,881 ordinary shares from Directors, Executive Officers and other shareholders. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of secondary ordinary shares by the selling shareholders. The Company received approximately $304,030 in net proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares offered by the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable, for general corporate purposes.

In June 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 44,230,768 of our ordinary shares at a share price of $26.00, of which 28,846,154 ordinary shares were issued and sold by Clarivate and 15,384,614 were sold by selling shareholders (which included 5,769,230 ordinary shares that the underwriters purchased pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares). The ordinary shares sold by selling shareholders included 10,562,882 ordinary shares from Onex, 4,107,787 ordinary shares from Baring and 713,945 ordinary shares from Directors, Executive Officers and other shareholders. The Company received approximately $728,768 in net proceeds from the sale of ordinary shares offered by the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. We intend to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021. If the ProQuest acquisition is not consummated, Clarivate intends to use the net proceeds received by it from the Offerings for general corporate purposes. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the secondary ordinary shares sold by the selling shareholders.

In June 2021, concurrently with the June 2021 Ordinary Share Offering, we completed an underwritten public offering of 14,375,000 of our 5.25% Series A MCPS (which included 1,875,000 of our MCPS that the underwriters purchased pursuant to their option to purchase additional shares). The Company received approximately $1,393,222 in net proceeds from the sale of our MCPS offered by the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable. We intend to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021. If the ProQuest acquisition is not consummated, Clarivate intends to use the net proceeds received by it from the Offerings for general corporate purposes.

Dividends on the MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis when declared by ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s board of directors, or an authorized committee of ~~Clarivate’s~~Clarivate’s board of directors, at an annual rate of 5.25% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. Clarivate may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in Clarivate ordinary shares, or in any combination of cash and ordinary shares, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2021 and ending on June 1, 2024.

During the period January 1, 2020 through February 21, 2020, 24,132,666 of the ~~Company’s~~Company’s outstanding warrants were exercised for one ordinary share per whole warrant at a price of $11.50 per share. On February 20, 2020, we announced the redemption of all of our outstanding public warrants to purchase our ordinary shares that were issued as part of the units sold in the Churchill Capital Corp initial public offering that remained outstanding at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on March 23, 2020, for a redemption price of $0.01 per public warrant. In addition, our board of directors elected that, upon delivery of the notice of the redemption on February 20, 2020, all public warrants were to be exercised only on a ~~“cashless~~“cashless basis.”” Accordingly, by virtue of the cashless exercise of public warrants, exercising public warrant holders received 0.4626 of an ordinary share for each public warrant, and 4,747,432 ordinary shares were issued for public warrants exercised on a cashless basis and 4,649 public warrants were redeemed for $0.01 per public warrant. As of June 30, 2021, no public warrants were outstanding.

Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP measure)

The following table reconciles free cash flow measure, which is a non-GAAP measure, to net cash provided by operating activities:


		Six Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,

Net cash provided by operating activities	Net cash provided by operating activities	$	261,666	$	107,562	Net cash provided by operating activities	$	261,666	$	107,562

Free cash flow	Free cash flow	$	199,645	$	54,911	Free cash flow	$	199,645	$	54,911

Free cash flow was $199,645 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $54,911 for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in free cash flow was primarily due to higher net cash provided by operating activities due to an increase in the source of cash for net working capital, as well as an increase in net income after adjustment for non-cash items such as mark to market adjustment on financial instruments, mark to market adjustment on contingent and phantom shares, restructuring and impairment, and share-based compensation. The increase in free cash flow was partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures primarily driven by the acquired CPA business in Q4 2020.

Required Reported Data - Standalone Adjusted EBITDA

We are required to report Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, which is identical to Consolidated EBITDA and EBITDA as such terms are defined under our credit facilities, dated as of October 31, 2019 and the indenture governing our secured notes due 2026 issued by Camelot Finance S.A. and guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries, respectively. In addition, the credit facilities and the indenture contain certain restrictive covenants that govern debt incurrence and the making of restricted payments, among other matters. These restrictive covenants utilize Standalone Adjusted EBITDA as a primary component of the compliance metric governing our ability to undertake certain actions otherwise proscribed by such covenants. Standalone Adjusted EBITDA reflects further adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA for cost savings already implemented and excess standalone costs.

Because Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is required pursuant to the terms of the reporting covenants under the credit facilities and the indenture and because this metric is relevant to lenders and noteholders, management considers Standalone Adjusted

EBITDA to be relevant to the operation of its business. It is also utilized by management and the compensation committee of the Board as an input for determining incentive payments to employees.

Excess standalone costs are the difference between our actual standalone company infrastructure costs, and our estimated steady state standalone infrastructure costs. We make an adjustment for the difference because we have had to incur costs under the transition services agreement with Thomson Reuters after we had implemented the infrastructure to replace the services provided pursuant to the transition services agreement, thereby incurring dual running costs. Furthermore, there has been a ramp up period for establishing and optimizing the necessary standalone infrastructure. Since our separation from Thomson Reuters, we have had to transition quickly to replace services provided under the transition services agreement, with optimization of the relevant standalone functions typically following thereafter. Cost savings reflect the annualized ~~“run rate”~~“run rate” expected cost savings, net of actual cost savings realized, related to restructuring and other cost savings initiatives undertaken during the relevant period. These costs wound down at the end of December 31, 2020.

Standalone Adjusted EBITDA is calculated under the credit facilities and the indenture by using our consolidated net income (loss) for the trailing 12-month period (defined in the credit facilities and the indenture as our U.S. GAAP net income adjusted for certain items specified in the credit facilities and the indenture) adjusted for items including: taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, non-cash charges, expenses related to capital markets transactions, acquisitions and dispositions, restructuring and business optimization charges and expenses, consulting and advisory fees, run-rate cost savings to be realized as a result of actions taken or to be taken in connection with an acquisition, disposition, restructuring or cost savings or similar initiatives, ~~“run rate”~~“run rate” expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to the transition projected by us, costs related to any management or equity stock plan, other adjustments of the type that were presented in the offering memorandum used in connection with the issuance of the secured notes due 2026 and earn-out obligations incurred in connection with an acquisition or investment.

Senior Secured Notes and Senior Notes due 2028 and 2029, respectively

On June 24, 2021, we issued a private placement offering of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes due June 30, 2028 (the "Secured Notes") and $1,000,000 in aggregate principle amount of Senior Notes due June 30, 2029 (the "Unsecured Notes" and, together with the Secured Notes, the "Notes") bearing interest at a rate of 3.875% and 4.875% per annum, respectively. The interest is payable semi-annually to holders of record on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021. The Notes due 2028 and 2029 were issued by Clarivate Science Holdings Corporation (the "Issuer"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Clarivate.

We intend to use the net proceeds to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021, and to pay related fees and expenses. Concurrently with the closing of this offering, the Issuer deposited the gross proceeds into segregated escrow accounts. If the escrow conditions (which include conditions relating to the consummation of the ProQuest acquisition) are not satisfied on or prior to November 8, 2021, or if it is otherwise determined that any of the applicable escrow release conditions will not be satisfied, the Notes will be redeemed at a price equal to 100% of the initial issue price of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, from June 24, 2021 (the "Issue Date" of the Notes), up to, but excluding, the date of such special mandatory redemption. Prior to closing of the ProQuest acquisition, the Notes are guaranteed and are secured by a first-priority security interest in the escrow accounts.

The indentures governing the Notes due 2028 and 2029 contain covenants which, among other things, limit the occurrence of additional indebtedness (including acquired indebtedness), issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends, making restricted payments and investments, the purchase or acquisition or retirement for value of any equity interests, the provision of loans or advances to restricted subsidiaries, the sale or lease or transfer of any properties to any restricted subsidiaries, the transfer or sale of assets, and the creation of certain liens. As of the date of this quarterly report, we believe we were in compliance with the indentures' covenants.

Credit Facilities

The credit facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of all of our U.S. restricted subsidiaries and certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries, including those that are or may be borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Facilities, subject to customary exceptions. As Clarivate Science Holdings Corporation remains an unrestricted subsidiary until the consummation of the ProQuest acquisition, the current debt recorded on their balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 is excluded from our consolidated coverage and leverage ratios. The credit facilities contain customary events of default and restrictive covenants that limit us from, among other things, incurring certain additional indebtedness, issuing preferred stock, making certain restricted payments and investments, certain transfers or sales of assets, entering into certain affiliate transactions or incurring certain liens. These credit facilities limitations are subject to customary baskets, including certain limitations on debt incurrence and issuance of preferred stock, subject to compliance with a consolidated coverage ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit facilities), a measure identical to our Standalone Adjusted EBITDA disclosed above under - Required Reported Data - Standalone Adjusted EBITDA, to interest and other fixed charges on certain debt (as defined in the credit facilities) of 2.00 to 1.00. In addition, the credit facilities require us to comply with a springing financial covenant pursuant to which, as of the third quarter of 2019, we must not exceed a total first lien net leverage ratio (as defined under the credit facilities) of 7.25 to 1.00, to be tested on the last day of any quarter only when more than 30% of the revolving credit facility (excluding (i) non-cash collateralized, issued and undrawn letters of credit in an amount up to $10,000 and (ii) any cash collateralized letters of credit) is utilized at such date. As of June 30, 2021, our consolidated coverage ratio was 6.34 to 1.00 and our consolidated leverage ratio was 1.23 to 1.00. As of the date of this Report, we are in compliance with the covenants in the credit facilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid down $0 drawn on the revolving credit facility. On February 28, 2020, we incurred an incremental $360,000 of term loans under our term loan facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings to fund a portion of the cash consideration for the DRG acquisition. On October 1, 2020, in connection with the CPA Global acquisition, the Company incurred an incremental $1,600,000 of borrowings under our term loan facility and used the net proceeds from such borrowings to fund the repayment of CPA Global's parent company outstanding debt.

Commitments and Contingencies

Our contingent liabilities consist primarily of letters of credit and performance bonds and other similar obligations in the ordinary course of business.

The Company maintained a contingent stock liability based on observable market data relating to the CPA Global acquisition that occurred on October 1, 2020. The amount was settled on January 21, 2021 through the issuance of ordinary shares. The contingent stock liability was $0 and $44,565 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognized a gain related to the changes in the contingent stock liability of $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $675 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, recorded within Selling, general and administrative costs on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Dividends on our convertible preferred shares are payable, as and if declared by our board of directors, at an annual rate of 5.25% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. We may pay declared dividends in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in our ordinary shares, or in any combination of cash and ordinary shares, on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on September 1, 2021 and ending on, and including, June 1, 2024. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information.

The Company is engaged in various legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. We have taken what we believe to be adequate reserves related to the litigation and threatened claims. We maintain appropriate insurance policies in place, which are likely to provide some coverage for these liabilities or other losses that may arise from these litigation matters. See Note 22 - Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, for additional information.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

We have various contractual obligations and commercial commitments that are recorded as liabilities in our financial statements. Other items, such as purchase obligations and other executory contracts, are not recognized as liabilities in our consolidated financial statements, but are required to be disclosed.

There have been no other material changes, outside of the ordinary course of business, to our contractual obligations as previously disclosed in Item 7. ~~Management’s~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity - Contractual Obligations section, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.A2.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

There have been no material changes from the critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions previously disclosed in Item 7. ~~Management’s~~Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.A2.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For information regarding our exposure to certain market risks, see ~~“Item~~“Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,”” in the ~~Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K/A.A2.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk arises primarily from our borrowings at floating interest rates. Borrowings under our credit facilities are subject to floating base interest rates, plus a margin. As of June 30, 2021, we had $2,833,100 of floating rate debt outstanding under our credit facilities, consisting of borrowings under the revolving and term loan facilities for which the base rate was one-month LIBOR (subject, with respect to the term loan facility only, to a floor of 0.00% for $1,241,100 and 1.00% for $1,592,000), which stood at 0.10% at June 30, 2021. Of this amount, we hedged $449,750 of our principal amount of our floating rate debt under hedges using interest rate derivatives. As a result, $2,383,350 of our outstanding borrowings effectively bore interest at floating rates. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in the applicable base interest rate under our credit facilities would have an annual impact of $388 and $725 on our cash interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. For additional information on our outstanding debt and related hedging, see Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 10 - Derivative Instruments and Note 14 - Debt.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Pursuant to Rules ~~13a-15(e)~~13a-15(b) and ~~15d-15(e)~~15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act, we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that, as of June 30, 2021, due to the material ~~weakness~~weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports required to be filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the ~~SEC’s~~SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management ~~has~~ identified a material ~~weakness~~weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting related ~~to a~~to: 1) the lack of an effectively designed control over the evaluation of settlement features used to determine the classification of warrant instruments, 2) the lack of an effectively designed control over the communication of modifications to pre-existing compensation agreements in an acquisition transaction between legal function and the accounting function to ensure the accounting impact of the modifications could be evaluated, and (3) the lack of an effectively designed control that is designed with a sufficient level of precision to allow for an appropriate review of the tax balances associated with the opening balance sheet of acquired entities, as disclosed in our ~~Annual Report on~~ Form 10-K/AA2 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Remediation Plan

Our remediation plan related to the first identified material weaknesses includes evaluating our controls over the accounting for warrants and assessing whether we have effectively designed controls that are relevant to warrant instruments issued by the Company. Our remediation plan related to the second identified material weakness includes management designing a control to identify and communicate the inventory of pre-existing compensation agreements in an acquisition transaction to the accounting department, including bring down procedures to the transaction close date to ensure the inventory includes the current version of the agreements. Our remediation plan will also include bring down procedures each quarter through the measurement period. Our remediation plan related to the third identified material weakness includes management designing an enhanced control to operate periodically during the measurement periods to allow for an appropriate review of the tax balances associated with the opening balance sheet of acquired entities. While we believe that the above actions will

ultimately remediate the material weaknesses, we intend to continue to refine the controls and test their effectiveness for a sufficient period of time prior to reaching any determination as to whether the material weaknesses has been remediated.

Notwithstanding the identified material ~~weakness,~~weaknesses, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q/A present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q/A that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. While the outcomes of these matters are uncertain, management does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. For additional discussion of legal proceedings, see Item 1. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 22 in this Report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors associated with our business as disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our ~~2020 annual report on~~ Form 10-K/A.A 2
