In accordance with applicable SEC regulations and the terms of the Offer to Purchase, we exercised the right to purchase additional shares.

Immediately following the purchase of the tendered shares and assuming the proper delivery of all shares tendered (including shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures), TechTarget will have approximately 31.7 million shares of common stock outstanding.
