The Company has supplemented its disclosure by adding the following disclosure regarding the impact of the completion of the tender offer on TechTarget’s financial statements:
- TechTarget’s cash and cash equivalents will decrease by the total amount of funds used by TechTarget to consummate the tender offer, including the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the tender offer;

- the number of outstanding shares of TechTarget’s common stock will be decreased by the number of shares repurchased in the tender offer; and
