Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 24, 2026, the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TechTarget, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new Executive Incentive Growth Acceleration Plan (the “GAP”) and the 2026 Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STIP”).
The GAP provides certain key executives and senior leaders of the Company (the “Covered Executives”) with the opportunity to earn cash bonus payments at the end of a specified performance period based on the attainment of various performance targets that may be based on earnings per share, revenues, operating profit, CAGR, EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, or such other metrics as the Committee may determine. Under the GAP, a Covered Executive is eligible to receive a “synthetic share” award based on a percentage of the executive’s base salary, with 60% of the number of synthetic shares underlying the award calculated based on the price of the Company’s common stock and 40% based on the price of Informa PLC’s common stock. For the 2026-2028 performance period (the “Covered Period”), the payment of bonuses under the GAP, if any, will be based upon the attainment of certain minimum and maximum CAGR revenue targets, calculated at the end of each year during the Covered Period, and subject to the relevant operating profit margin target, as determined by the Committee, being exceeded. The portion of the award earned for a given year will be credited and banked separately for each year of the Covered Period and will not be affected by performance in any other year, except with the opportunity to earn back any unbanked portions of the award in respect of the first two years of the Covered Period should the maximum targets be achieved in subsequent years. At the end of the Covered Period, a Covered Executive would be entitled to a cash payment. The value of this payment will be determined by multiplying the total number of synthetic shares earned during the Covered Period by the respective Company common stock price or Informa PLC common stock price on the vesting date (subject to a share price floor of 50% and a ceiling of 200% of the applicable share prices on the date of the award).
The STIP provides Covered Executives with the opportunity to earn cash bonus payments at the end of a specified performance period based on the attainment of various performance targets that may be based on earnings per share, revenues, operating profit, CAGR, EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, or such other metrics as the Committee may determine. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish specific revenue targets for Covered Executives in different business units or functions. For 2026, bonus payments under the STIP to Covered Executives will be based 80% on the attainment of a revenue target and 20% based upon the attainment of an operating profit target. For Covered Executives other than the CEO, (i) each additional 1% above the 100% revenue target will result in an incremental payout of 10%, with the revenue component capped at 300% of the revenue target payout and (ii) each additional 1% above the 100% operating profit target will result in an incremental payout of 10%, with the operating profit component capped at 150% of the operating profit target payout. For the CEO, payout for each metric is capped at 150% of target for performance at or above 100% of the applicable target.
