TECHTARGET, INC.
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
This 2026 Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STIP”) is intended to: (a) motivate and reward executive and senior leadership to deliver top-line revenue growth, (b) retain talent identified as critical to the combination of the legacy Informa Tech and legacy TechTarget businesses and/or the long-term success of TechTarget, Inc. d/b/a Informa TechTarget (the “Company”), and (c) align executive and senior leadership rewards for the Company. The STIP is for the benefit of Covered Executives (as defined below).
From time to time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) may select certain key executives and senior leaders (the “Covered Executives”) to be eligible to receive bonuses hereunder.
The Committee shall have the sole discretion and authority to administer and interpret the STIP. The specific goals and targets under the STIP for each performance period shall be determined by the Committee and, once approved, filed with the minutes of the Committee. A Covered Executive may receive a bonus payment under the STIP based upon the attainment of various performance targets which are established by the Committee and relate to financial and operational metrics with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Performance Goals”), including, but not limited to, the following: earnings per share, revenues, operating profit, CAGR, EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, or such other metrics as the Committee may determine.
(a) For 2026, payment of a bonus to a Covered Executive pursuant to the STIP will be based 80% upon the attainment of a revenue target and 20% based upon the attainment of an operating profit target, as further defined and approved by the Committee. For instance, if 100% of the targeted bonus for the revenue component is earned and 20% of the targeted bonus for the operating profit component is earned, the total bonus payment will equal 84% (80% x 100% + 20% x 20%) of the target bonus amount. The Committee may, in its discretion, establish specific revenue targets for Covered Executives in different business units or functions as follows: (i) Business Unit: 80% Business Unit Revenue and 20% Business Unit Operating Profit and (ii) Central Function: 80% Company Revenue and 20% Company Operating Profit.
(b) For 2026, no payout will be earned under the STIP if the minimum revenue and operating profit metrics are not achieved based on the targets approved by the Committee. If the applicable minimum threshold is achieved, a Covered Executive will earn a portion of their targeted bonus amount, as determined by the Committee, with incremental increases in their targeted bonus up to the maximum revenue and operating profit metrics. For Covered Executives other than the CEO, each additional 1% above the 100% revenue target will result in an incremental payout of 10%, with the revenue component capped at 300% of target payout on this metric. Similarly, 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% target payout on this metric. For the CEO, notwithstanding the foregoing, payout for each metric is capped at 150% of target for performance at or above 100% of the applicable target.
