Informa TechTarget Announces Offers to Purchase Any and All of Informa TechTargets’s Outstanding 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 and 0.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026

Newton, MA – December 20, 2024 — TechTarget, Inc. (Nasdaq: TTGT) (“Informa TechTarget”) today announced that it has commenced tender offers to repurchase any and all of Informa TechTarget’s outstanding 0.125% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) and 0.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and, together with the 2025 Notes, the “Notes”) in compliance with the terms of the indentures governing the Notes (the “Indentures”).

The tender offers are required to be made as a result of the transactions consummated on December 2, 2024 (the “Closing Date”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 10, 2024, among TechTarget Holdings Inc. (formerly known as TechTarget, Inc.) (“Former TechTarget”), Informa TechTarget, Toro Acquisition Sub, LLC, Informa PLC, Informa US Holdings Limited, and Informa Intrepid Holdings Inc. (the “Transactions”).

Under the terms of the Indentures, the Transactions constituted a Fundamental Change (as defined in each of the Indentures), and Informa TechTarget is required to offer to repurchase the Notes for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of their Notes to be repurchased, plus, in the case of the 2025 Notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the 2025 Notes to, but excluding, January 24, 2025 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”).

As a result of the Transactions, holders also have the right to convert their Notes in whole or in part (in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof) during the period from the Closing Date to the close of business on January 23, 2025 (the “Fundamental Change Conversion Period”), at the applicable conversion rate. As a result of the Transactions, the Notes are convertible into units of reference property equal to the consideration paid to holders of Former TechTarget’s common stock in the Transactions of $11.6955 in cash and one share of Informa TechTarget common stock per share. During the Fundamental Change Conversion Period, the Conversion Rate for (i) the 2025 Notes will be 14.1977 units of reference property per $1,000 principal amount 2025 Note and (ii) the 2026 Notes will be 7.6043 units of reference property per $1,000 principal amount 2026 Note. Although the Transactions constituted a Make-Whole Fundamental Change for both series of Notes, Holders of the Notes will not be entitled an increase in the Conversion Rate under the terms of the applicable Indenture because the average of the last reported sales prices of Former TechTarget’s common stock over the five trading day period ended on November 29, 2024 was less than the minimum price per share that is required under the applicable Indenture for the Notes for holders of the Notes to be entitled to receive an increase in the conversion rate.

Informa TechTarget will settle all conversions of Notes surrendered for conversion during the Fundamental Change Conversion Period pursuant to the cash settlement provisions of the applicable Indenture. The Offer to Purchase contains a comparison of the amount holders would currently receive if they converted their Notes and the amount holders will receive if they accept the offer to repurchase their Notes.

As of December 19, 2024, there was $3,040,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes outstanding and $414,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes outstanding. If all outstanding Notes are surrendered for repurchase for cash, the aggregate cash purchase price paid by Informa TechTarget will be $3,040,411.67 and $414,000,000 for the 2025 Notes and the 2026 Notes, respectively.

The tender offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 23, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”). Informa TechTarget does not intend to extend the period that holders have to tender their Notes for repurchase by Informa TechTarget unless required by applicable law. The repurchase date for any Notes tendered pursuant to the tender offers will be the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

In order to tender Notes for repurchase by Informa TechTarget, a holder must follow the procedures set forth in the Informa TechTarget’s Offer to Purchase, which is available through the Depository Trust Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association. Holders may withdraw any previously tendered Notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, or as otherwise provided by applicable law, through compliance with the proper withdrawal procedure described in the Offer to Purchase for the applicable series of Notes.

None of Informa TechTarget, Informa TechTarget’s board of directors, the trustee, paying agent or conversion agent for the Notes and the respective tender offers, is making any recommendation to holders of the Notes as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their Notes in the tender offers or whether to convert their Notes. Holders of the Notes must decide how many Notes they will tender or convert, if any. The terms and conditions of the tender offers are described in the Offers to Purchase distributed to holders of the Notes.

The trustee, paying agent and conversion agent for the tender offers is U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor-in-interest to U.S. Bank National Association. Offers to Purchase will today be distributed to noteholders of record and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
