## Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 19, 2025, the Compensation Committee ("Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of TechTarget, Inc. (the "Company") approved certain compensation adjustments and awards for the Company's executives and senior leaders including Gary Nugent, Chief Executive Officer, Steve Niemiec, Chief Revenue Officer, and Daniel T. Noreck, Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the "Executives"). These adjustments relate to the 2025 fiscal year and are being formalized at present following the successful realignment of TechTarget's Quarterly Filings with the regulatory schedule.

The Committee also approved certain cash-based awards under a new Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP") that includes performance goals that may be based on earnings per share, revenues, operating profit, CAGR, EBIT, Adjusted EBITDA, or such other metrics as the Committee may determine. Additionally, each of the Executives received an equity award under the Company's 2024 Incentive Plan and Mr. Nugent may be eligible for certain long-term equity awards granted by Informa PLC ("Informa"). Payment of awards under the foregoing plans is subject to meeting applicable targets established by the Committee, satisfaction of applicable caps, and other conditions set forth in the governing award and plan agreements.

The Committee approved (i) for Mr. Nugent, a target bonus amount of $562,500 under the STIP and a restricted stock unit award equal to 125% of Mr. Nugent's base salary vesting ratably over three years, with 1/3 vesting on each of the first, second, and third-year anniversaries of the grant date; (ii) for Mr. Niemiec, a target bonus amount of $400,000 under the STIP, a $400,000 cash retention bonus with 50% payable in March 2026 and 50% payable in March 2027, and a restricted stock unit award equal to 100% of Mr. Niemiec's base salary vesting ratably over three years, with 1/3 vesting on each of the first, second, and third-year anniversaries of the grant date; and (iii) for Mr. Noreck, an annual base salary of $330,000 per year, to be applied retroactively to January 1, 2025, a $330,000 one-year cash retention bonus payable in March 2026, a target bonus amount of $330,000 under the STIP, and a restricted stock unit award equal to 100% of Mr. Noreck's base salary vesting ratably over three years, with 1/3 vesting on each of the first, second, and third-year anniversaries of the grant date

The payment of any bonus under the STIP to Mr. Nugent, Mr. Niemiec, and Mr. Noreck is subject to each Executive meeting applicable minimum performance goals established by the Committee. The specific STIP targets, anchored to revenue and profit metrics, were established during Q1 of this year despite only receiving formal approval in September. These targets were intentionally calibrated at the outset to stretch organizational performance, reflecting our ambitious long-term growth strategy.
