As previously disclosed, on January 10, 2024, TechTarget, Inc. (“TechTarget”), Toro CombineCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of TechTarget (“CombineCo”), Toro Acquisition Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CombineCo (“Merger Sub”), Informa PLC, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Informa”), Informa US Holdings Limited, a private company organized under the laws of England and Wales and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Informa (“Ivory HoldCo”), and Informa Intrepid Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Ivory HoldCo (“Informa Intrepid”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Transaction Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Ivory HoldCo will contribute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Informa Intrepid, plus $350 million in cash to CombineCo in exchange for CombineCo common stock, (ii) Merger Sub will merge with and into TechTarget, with TechTarget surviving the merger and becoming a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CombineCo (the “Merger”) and (iii) as a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of TechTarget’s common stock will be converted (subject to certain exceptions) into the right to receive one share of CombineCo common stock and a pro rata share of an amount in cash equal to $350 million, which per share cash consideration amount is currently estimated to be approximately $11.71 per share of TechTarget common stock (collectively, and together with all the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, the “proposed transaction”).

In connection with the proposed transaction, CombineCo filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-280529) (the “Registration Statement”) containing a proxy statement of TechTarget that also constitutes a prospectus of CombineCo (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 25, 2024, and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus was first mailed to TechTarget’s stockholders on or about October 25, 2024.

SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

TechTarget and CombineCo believe that no further disclosure is required to supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus under applicable law. However, TechTarget and the members of the TechTarget board of directors are named as defendants in lawsuits challenging the Merger. The first suit was filed on November 6, 2024 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and is captioned Catherine Coffman v. TechTarget, Inc. et al., 655891/2024 (the “Coffman Complaint”). The second suit was filed on November 7, 2024 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and is captioned Susan Finger v. TechTarget, Inc. et al., 655885/2024 (the “Finger Complaint” and together with the Coffman Complaint, the “Complaints”).

In addition to the Complaints, TechTarget has also received correspondence from law firms claiming to represent purported stockholders of TechTarget, who have threatened litigation, and have made other demands relating to the proposed transaction, including that additional disclosures be provided in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (collectively with the Complaints, the “Litigation Matters”). Neither TechTarget nor CombineCo can predict whether any of such demands or threats will result in litigation, whether additional demands or litigation may materialize, or the outcome of any such litigation relating to the proposed transaction. If additional similar complaints are filed or additional demands are received, absent new or materially different allegations, neither TechTarget nor CombineCo intend to disclose them.

TechTarget, CombineCo and the other named defendants in the Complaints deny that they have violated any laws or breached any duties to TechTarget’s stockholders, and TechTarget and CombineCo deny all allegations in the Litigation Matters. TechTarget and CombineCo believe that no supplemental disclosure to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus was or is required under any applicable law, rule or regulation. However, solely to eliminate the burden and expense of litigation, to moot plaintiffs’ disclosure claims, and to avoid potential delay or disruption to the proposed transaction, TechTarget and CombineCo have determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the below disclosures. TechTarget and CombineCo believe that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus comply fully with applicable law and nothing in the below supplemental disclosure or otherwise shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable law of any of the disclosures set forth herein.

TechTarget and CombineCo are supplementing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with certain additional information set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). The Supplemental Disclosures should be read in connection with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which should be read in its entirety. All page references are to pages in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The information contained herein speaks only as of November 15, 2024, unless the information indicates another date applies. For clarity, new text within restated paragraphs from the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is indicated below by bold underlined text and deleted text within restated paragraphs from the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is indicated below by strikethrough text.

The Supplemental Disclosures are as follows:

Background of the Transaction

Under the heading “Background of the Transaction” the last paragraph on page 105 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On November 3, 2023, Messrs. Strakosch, Cotoia, and Hawk from TechTarget and Messrs. Carter, Roth and Nugent, Gareth Wright (Chief Financial Officer) and Richard Menzies-Gow (Director of Investor Relations, Corporate Communications & Brand) from Informa met in person to discuss TechTarget’s November 1st letter. At that meeting, TechTarget management shared its thoughts on specific areas of potential value creation that were identified in its review of the Informa businesses. Informa management shared that it was not yet authorized by its board of directors to respond formally to TechTarget’s November 1st letter but indicated that there seemed to be a basis for moving the discussion forward and that it was working with its advisors and board of directors on a response, which it expected to deliver in short order. Informa management identified some preliminary governance considerations that would need to be discussed by the parties in more detail if the proposed transaction moved forward, including the potential for co-CEOs, and TechTarget management responded that it would not discuss those items until the material financial terms of the transaction were agreed upon.

Under the heading “Background of the Transaction” the fifth full paragraph on page 112 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On December 22, 2023, Mr. Hawk sent an email to Mr. Roth outlining the key open issues on the Transaction Agreement and TechTarget’s proposals to resolve such issues, which issues were subsequently discussed via teleconference between Mr. Hawk and Stuart Poyser, Group Director of Corporate Development of Informa, on December 26, 2023. Also on December 22, 2023, Messrs. Cotoia and Carter discussed the benefits of having a single CEO for the combined business, Mr. Nugent, while having Mr. Cotoia act as a special advisor to help Mr. Nugent with his transition to the CEO role. On December 27, 2023, Mr. Cotoia held discussions with other members of the TechTarget Board regarding the NewCo Board structure. Each of Robert D. Burke, Bruce Levenson, and Roger M. Marino expressed their view that the closing of the Transactions was an appropriate time to transition off the Board given their long-standing service. When Mr. Cotoia spoke with Perfecto Sanchez and Christina G. Van Houten they both expressed their desire to continue to serve as directors.

Under the heading “Background of the Transaction” the final full paragraph on page 115, is hereby amended and restated as follows:

On January 10, 2024, shortly after market close, the TechTarget Board held a special meeting to discuss the proposed transaction. Also present were members of TechTarget management and representatives of J.P. Morgan, BrightTower and WilmerHale. Representatives of WilmerHale provided an update on the Transaction Agreement and other transaction documents, and noted that there had been no significant changes to the transaction documents and no material updates to the due diligence findings since the prior Board meeting. Representatives of J.P. Morgan reviewed with the TechTarget Board its analysis of the financial terms of the proposed transaction, which were substantially the same as the analyses discussed at the previous Board meeting, subject to immaterial revisions to reflect the previous day’s market information. After J.P. Morgan’s

presentation, representatives of J.P. Morgan rendered to the TechTarget Board an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by delivery of a written opinion to the TechTarget Board dated January 10, 2024 (a copy of which is attached as Annex B to this combined proxy statement/prospectus), that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken by J.P. Morgan in preparing its opinion, the consideration to be received by the holders of TechTarget common stock in the proposed transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders. BrightTower was not asked to, and did not, render a fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction. The TechTarget Board then unanimously adopted resolutions (i) determining that the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of TechTarget and its stockholders, (ii) adopting and approving the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) directing that the Transaction Agreement be submitted to the stockholders of TechTarget for their adoption and recommending that all of TechTarget’s stockholders adopt the Transaction Agreement in accordance with applicable law. For a detailed discussion of J.P. Morgan’s opinion, please see below under “—Opinion of TechTarget’s Financial Advisor.”

Opinion of TechTarget’s Financial Advisor

Under the heading “TechTarget Financial Analyses” the subsection beginning on page 132 with the subheading “Public Trading Multiples” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared selected financial data of TechTarget with similar data for selected publicly traded companies engaged in businesses which J.P. Morgan judged to be sufficiently analogous to those engaged in by TechTarget.

The companies selected by J.P. Morgan were:

These companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies with operations and businesses that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to those of TechTarget. However, certain of these companies may have characteristics that are materially different from those of TechTarget. The analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the selected companies differently than they would affect TechTarget.

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated, for each selected company, the ratios of the company’s firm value (“FV”) to the consensus equity research analyst estimates for the company’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation (“Adj. EBITDA”) for the year ending December 31, 2024 (the “FV/2024E Adj. EBITDA”).

The FV/2024E Adj. EBITDA for the companies selected by J.P. Morgan were as follows:

Based on the results of this analysis, J.P. Morgan selected a reference range of 11.5x – 16.0x for FV/2024E Adj. EBITDA for TechTarget. After applying such ranges to the projected Adj. EBITDA for TechTarget for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2024, as set forth in the TechTarget Forecasts, the analysis indicated the following ranges of implied per share equity value (rounded to the nearest $0.25) for TechTarget common stock:

The ranges of implied per share equity values for TechTarget common stock were compared to the closing share price of TechTarget common stock of $34.85 on January 9, 2024, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which J.P. Morgan rendered its opinion.

Under the heading “TechTarget Financial Analyses” the subsection beginning on page 133 with the subheading “Selected Transaction Analysis” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan reviewed selected transactions involving businesses which J.P. Morgan judged to be sufficiently analogous to TechTarget (or aspects thereof) based on J.P. Morgan’s experience and familiarity with the industries in which TechTarget operates. Specifically, J.P. Morgan reviewed the following transactions:

None of the selected transactions reviewed was identical to the Transactions. However, the selected transactions were chosen because certain aspects of the transactions, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to the Transactions. The analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the transactions differently than they would affect the Transactions.

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated, for each selected transaction, the multiple of the target company’s FV in the relevant transaction to the target company’s estimated Adj. EBITDA for the twelve months immediately following the announcement of the applicable transaction (the “FV / NTM Adj. EBITDA Multiple”). The FV / NTM Adj. EBITDA Multiple for each transaction were as follows:

J.P. Morgan applied a range of multiples derived from such analysis ranging from 11.5x to 15.5x for FV/2024E NTM Adj. EBITDA for TechTarget. After applying such ranges to the projected Adj. EBITDA for TechTarget for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2024, as set forth in the TechTarget Forecasts, the analysis indicated the following ranges of implied per share equity value (rounded to the nearest $0.25) for TechTarget common stock:

The ranges of implied per share equity values for TechTarget common stock were compared to the closing share price of TechTarget common stock of $34.85 on January 9, 2024, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which J.P. Morgan rendered its opinion.

Under the heading “TechTarget Financial Analyses” the subsection beginning on page 133 with the subheading “Discounted Cash Flow Analysis” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

J.P. Morgan conducted a discounted cash flow analysis for the purpose of determining an implied fully diluted equity value per share for TechTarget common stock. J.P. Morgan calculated the unlevered free cash flows that TechTarget is expected to generate during the period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2032 (as set forth in the TechTarget Forecasts described in the section entitled “Projected Financial Data” which were discussed with, and approved by, the TechTarget Board for use by J.P. Morgan in connection with its financial analyses). J.P.

Morgan also calculated a range of terminal values for TechTarget at the end of this period by applying perpetual growth rates ranging from 3.0% to 4.0%, to estimates of the revenue of TechTarget during the fiscal year 2032, as provided in the TechTarget Forecasts. J.P. Morgan then discounted the unlevered free cash flow estimates and the range of terminal values to present value as of December 31, 2023 using discount rates ranging from 11.25% to 12.25%, which range was chosen by J.P. Morgan based upon an analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of TechTarget. The present value of the unlevered free cash flow estimates and the range of terminal values were then adjusted by subtracting the net debt for TechTarget of approximately $91 million as of December 31, 2023, as provided by TechTarget’s management.

Based on the foregoing, this analysis indicated the following range of implied per share equity value for TechTarget common stock (rounded to the nearest $0.25):

The ranges of implied per share equity values for TechTarget common stock were compared to the closing share price of TechTarget common stock of $34.85 on January 9, 2024, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which J.P. Morgan rendered its opinion.

Under the heading “Informa Tech Digital Businesses Financial Analyses” the subsection on page 134 with the subheading “Public Trading Multiples” is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan compared selected financial data of the Informa Tech Digital Businesses with similar data for selected publicly traded companies engaged in businesses which J.P. Morgan judged to be sufficiently analogous to those engaged in by the Informa Tech Digital Businesses.

The companies selected by J.P. Morgan were:

These companies were selected, among other reasons, because they are publicly traded companies with operations and businesses that, for purposes of J.P. Morgan’s analysis, may be considered similar to those of the Informa Tech Digital Businesses. However, certain of these companies may have characteristics that are materially different from those of the Informa Tech Digital Businesses. The analyses necessarily involve complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operational characteristics of the companies involved and other factors that could affect the selected companies differently than they would affect the Informa Tech Digital Businesses.

Using publicly available information, J.P. Morgan calculated, for each selected company, the FV/2024 Adj. EBITDA, using the consensus equity research analyst estimates for the company’s Adj. EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The FV/2024E Adj. EBITDA for the companies selected by J.P. Morgan were as follows:

Based on the results of this analysis, J.P. Morgan selected a reference range of 10.0 – 16.0x for FV/2024E Adj. EBITDA for the Informa Tech Digital Businesses. After applying such range to the projected Adj. EBITDA for the Informa Tech Digital Businesses for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2024, as set forth in the Informa Tech Digital Businesses Forecasts, the analysis indicated the following ranges of implied equity value (rounded to the nearest $5 million) for the Informa Tech Digital Businesses:

Other

Under the heading “Miscellaneous” the last sentence under such subsection is hereby amended and restated as follows:

During the two-year period preceding the date of J.P. Morgan’s opinion, the aggregate fees recognized by J.P. Morgan from TechTarget and Informa were approximately $4 million (for corporate finance services) and $300,000 (for asset management services), respectively.
