The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and related notes are prepared in accordance with SEC Article 11 of Regulation S-X and present the historical financial information of the Informa Tech Digital Businesses and Former TechTarget adjusted to give effect to the business combination and the other events contemplated by the Transaction Agreement.
The Merger will be accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations pursuant to the provisions of ASC 805. Informa will control NewCo as it will beneficially own approximately 57% of the outstanding shares of NewCo common stock (on a fully diluted basis, but without taking into account shares which may be issued upon the conversion (if any) of Former TechTarget’s convertible notes or shares reserved for future grants pursuant to certain NewCo equity incentive plans), and was entitled to designate five of the nine NewCo Board members. As a result, the Informa Tech Digital Businesses was determined as the acquirer, as it is the business contributed by and still controlled by Informa. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the estimated purchase price will be allocated to Former TechTarget’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, at the date of completion of the Merger. Any excess of merger consideration over the preliminary estimate of the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in determining the preliminary fair values of identified intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, certain other assets, debt and other assumed liabilities. These preliminary valuations of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are determined using market, income and cost approaches from the perspective of a market participant, which requires estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, estimating future cash flows in addition to developing the appropriate market discount rates and obtaining available market pricing for comparable assets. Additionally, the final purchase price allocation will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. The final valuation may materially change the allocation of the purchase price, which could materially affect the fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities and could result in a material change to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
