Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 4, 2017, Nasdaq, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with eVestment, Inc. (“eVestment”), Echo Holding Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq (“Merger Sub”), and Insight Venture Partners, LLC (solely in its capacity as representative for eVestment’s securityholders).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Nasdaq will acquire eVestment through the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into eVestment, with eVestment surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Nasdaq. The aggregate merger consideration that Nasdaq will pay in the Merger is $705 million in cash, subject to adjustments for cash, debt, working capital and tax savings.

The closing of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. The requisite shareholder approval has been obtained by written consent of more than a majority of eVestment securityholders.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants relating to the operation of eVestment’s business between signing and closing.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1. The Merger Agreement has been included to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Nasdaq. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Nasdaq’s public disclosures.

The Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company, and, solely in its capacity as and solely to the extent applicable, the Representative, shall be referred to herein from time to time as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XI below.

WHEREAS, the Parent desires to acquire one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company in a reverse subsidiary merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of the Company, the Parent and the Merger Sub have each (i) determined that the Merger is fair, advisable and in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders and (ii) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of each of the Company and the Merger Sub have determined to recommend to their respective stockholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; and

WHEREAS, the Parent has obtained an insurance policy that provides coverage for the benefit of the Parent or its designee as the named insured for breaches of any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III (the “R&W Insurance”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.01 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Effective Time, the Merger Sub shall merge (the “Merger”) with and into the Company in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), whereupon the separate existence of the Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”).

(b) At the Closing, the Company and the Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make

all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other time as the Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall succeed to all of the assets, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of and be subject to all of the Liabilities, restrictions, and duties of the Company and the Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.

1.02 Effect on Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the product obtained by multiplying the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration by the Applicable Conversion Rate that applies to such share of Series A Preferred Stock, and (ii) the product obtained by multiplying the Per Share Additional Merger Consideration by the Applicable Conversion Rate that applies to such share of Series A Preferred Stock;

(b) each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration, and (ii) the Per Share Additional Merger Consideration;

(c) each share of Company Stock, if any, held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company shall be canceled and extinguished and no payment shall be made with respect thereto (the “Excluded Shares”); and

(d) each share of common stock of the Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company.

The aggregate consideration to which Company Shareholders become entitled pursuant to this Section 1.02 is referred to herein as the “Stock Merger Consideration.”

1.03 Effect on Options.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company or of any Securityholder, (i) each Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is either (x) not then vested (it being understood that an Option that by its terms vests immediately prior to or upon consummation of the Merger shall be considered

- 2 -

vested for purposes hereof) or (y) not an In-the-Money Option shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock, without any payment of any consideration therefor; and (ii) each vested In-the-Money Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and extinguished, no longer be outstanding and cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock, and in consideration therefor, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Option Consideration. The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all actions as are reasonably necessary in order to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 1.03 and to ensure that no holder of Options shall have any rights from and after the Effective Time with respect to any Options except as expressly provided in this Section 1.03; provided, that such actions shall expressly be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and each of the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall be of no force or effect if this Agreement is terminated.

(b) The Closing Option Consideration payable to the holders of vested In-the-Money Options pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above shall be paid through the Company’s payroll system promptly following the Effective Time and in no event later than the next Company payroll date following the fifth day that follows the Effective Time. Any remaining portion of the Option Consideration payable to the holders of vested In-the-Money Options shall, at the request of the Representative, be paid through the Surviving Company’s payroll system promptly following, and in no event later than the next Company payroll following, the fifth day that follows the applicable time as any such remaining portion of the Option Consideration becomes payable to such holder, if any.

1.04 Paying Agent; Exchange of Company Stock.

(a) The Parties hereby appoint Epiq Corporate Restructuring or such other bank or trust company selected by the Parties that is reasonably acceptable to the Parties (in such role, the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of distributing to Company Shareholders (other than holders of Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) the Stock Merger Consideration payable to Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 1.02 in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Paying Agent Agreement. All fees, costs and expenses of the Paying Agent shall be paid by the Parent.

(b) The Parent shall effect, or cause to be effected, the exchange of cash for the shares of Company Stock that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and entitled to payment pursuant to Section 1.02. In connection with such exchange, by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Parent shall provide to the Paying Agent for delivery to each Company Shareholder a Letter of Transmittal, substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Letter of Transmittal”). Upon the delivery by such Company Shareholder of a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent and surrender to the Paying Agent of one or more certificates representing all shares of Company Stock held by such Company Shareholder, if applicable, after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to each such holder the amount of cash to which such holder is entitled under Section 1.02 to the account(s) and via the method of payment designated by such holder in such holder’s Letter of Transmittal; provided, that the Paying Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such amounts on the Closing Date to any

- 3 -

Company Shareholder that has delivered a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent and surrendered to the Paying Agent of one or more certificates representing all shares of Company Stock held by such Company Shareholder, if applicable, in each case, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Except as provided in the Escrow Agreement with respect to the Escrow Amount, in no event shall any Company Shareholder who delivers a Letter of Transmittal be entitled to receive interest on any of the funds to be received in the Merger. Any Company Stock held by a Company Shareholder that has delivered a Letter of Transmittal to the Parent pursuant to this Section 1.04(b) shall not be transferable on the books of the Company without the Parent’s prior written consent.

(c) At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the shares of Company Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law.

1.05 Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any shares of capital stock of any of the foregoing, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C until thereafter amended, subject to Section 6.03, in accordance with the provisions thereof and the DGCL. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, until thereafter amended, subject to Section 6.03, in accordance with the provisions thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company and the DGCL.

1.06 Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected, appointed or otherwise designated in accordance with applicable Law, the directors of the Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Company, and the officers of the Company at the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company, each such initial director and initial officer to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company as in effect from and after the Effective Time.

1.07 Closing Calculations. Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Parent a statement setting forth (a) an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies as of the Reference Time, (b) a good faith calculation of the Company’s estimate of Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and Transaction Expenses (“Estimated Transaction Expenses”), (c) Tax Savings (the “Estimated Tax Savings”) and (d) the Closing Cash Consideration, the Closing Payment Amount and the aggregate Closing Option Consideration (the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Parent may submit any objections in writing to the Company until 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing Date and the Company will consider in good faith any revisions proposed by the Parent to the Estimated Closing Statement.

After delivery of the Closing Statement, the Representative and its accountants and other representatives shall be permitted reasonable access to review the Surviving Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records and any work papers (subject to the Representative and its representatives entering into any reasonable and customary undertakings required by the Surviving Company’s accountants in connection therewith) related to the preparation of the Closing Statement. The Representative and its accountants and other representatives may make reasonable inquiries of the Parent, the Surviving Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective accountants and employees regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Parent shall use its, and shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to use their, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants and employees to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If the Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement, the Representative shall deliver to the Parent a written statement (an “Objections Statement”) specifying in reasonable detail each item that the Representative disputes (each, a “Disputed Item”) and the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting the Representative’s positions. If an Objections Statement is not delivered to the Parent within thirty (30) days following the date of delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. The Representative and the Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Objections

- 5 -

Statement, the Representative and the Parent shall submit such dispute to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the Parent and the Representative (the “Dispute Resolution Firm”). Any further submissions to the Dispute Resolution Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Dispute Resolution Firm shall consider only those items and amounts that are identified in the Objections Statement as being Disputed Items and that the Representative and the Parent were unable to resolve. The Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the definitions of Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses and Tax Savings contained herein and the provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 1.08. The Representative and the Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable. With respect to each Disputed Item, such determination, if not in accordance with the position of either the Parent or the Representative, shall not be in excess of the higher, nor less than the lower of the disputed amounts set forth in the Closing Statement and the Objections Statement. Further, the Dispute Resolution Firm’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by the Parent and the Representative that are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review). The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be final and binding on and non-appealable by the Parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Firm shall be allocated by the Dispute Resolution Firm between the Parent, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders), on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For example, if the Representative claims Closing Cash Consideration is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Parent, and the Parent contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Representative, and if the Dispute Resolution Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Representative (for the benefit of the Securityholders) $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of arbitration shall be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Parent and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Representative (for the benefit of the Securityholders).

1.09 Post-Closing Adjustment Payment.

(a) If the Final Cash Consideration is greater than the Closing Cash Consideration (the lesser of such excess or the Escrow Amount, the “Difference”), the Parent shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) pay to (1) the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Company Shareholders) the Company Shareholder Percentage of the amount of the Difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Paying Agent to the Parent and (2) the Surviving Company (for distribution to the holders of the vested In-the-Money Options pursuant to Section 1.03(b)) the Optionholder Percentage of the amount of the Difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Surviving Company. In no event shall the amount paid by the Parent pursuant to this Section 1.09(a) exceed the Escrow Amount.

(b) If the Final Cash Consideration is less than the Closing Cash Consideration, the Parent and the Representative (on behalf of the Securityholders) shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to the Parent the absolute value of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Account to an account designated in writing by the

- 6 -

Parent to the Representative and the Escrow Agent. Absent fraud, the Securityholders and the Representative shall not have any liability for any amounts due pursuant to Section 1.08 or this Section 1.09 except to the extent of the funds available in the Escrow Account.

(c) Exhibit E sets forth an illustrative statement (the “Reference Statement”) prepared in good faith by the Company in cooperation with the Parent setting forth the various line items used (or to be used) in, and illustrating as of the date set forth therein, the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital prepared and calculated in accordance with this Agreement.

1.10 Escrow Account.

(a) At the Closing, pursuant to Section 2.02(d), the Parent shall deposit $5,000,000 (such amount the “Escrow Amount”) in immediately available funds into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) to be established and maintained by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of an escrow agreement based upon the form of Exhibit F attached hereto to be entered into on the Closing Date by the Parent, the Representative and the Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”). Absent fraud, the Escrow Amount shall serve as security for, and the sole source of payment of, the Parent’s rights pursuant to Section 1.09 and Section 8.02. All fees, costs and expenses of the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be paid by the Parent.

(b) Promptly following the determination of the Final Cash Consideration, and the making of all payments due pursuant to Section 1.09 and Section 8.02, if any, and the taking into account the amount, if any, of claims for indemnification under Section 8.02 properly asserted in writing prior to such date by the Indemnitees but not yet resolved as of the Expiration Date (such claims, the “Unresolved Claims”), if there are any amounts remaining in the Escrow Account (the “Remaining Escrow Amount”), then the Parent and the Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to (a) the Paying Agent (for distribution to the Company Shareholders) the Company Shareholder Percentage of the Remaining Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Paying Agent to the Escrow Agent and (b) the Surviving Company (for distribution to the holders of the vested In-the-Money Options pursuant to Section 1.03(b)) the Optionholder Percentage of the Remaining Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Surviving Company. Upon final resolution of any Unresolved Claim in respect of which amounts had been retained (to the extent not utilized to satisfy such Unresolved Claims), the Parent and the Representative shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent that such amounts shall be deemed to have become Remaining Escrow Amount and shall be paid in accordance with the process set forth in the preceding sentence and the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

1.11 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under Section 262 of the DGCL, any share of Company Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a Company Shareholder who did not consent to or vote (by a valid and enforceable proxy or otherwise) in favor of the approval of this Agreement, which Company Shareholder complies with all of the provisions of the DGCL relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights (such share

- 7 -

being a “Dissenting Share,” and such Company Shareholder being a “Dissenting Stockholder”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration to which the holder of such share would be entitled pursuant to Section 1.02 but, rather, shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Share pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect such stockholder’s dissenters’ rights under the DGCL or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such rights with respect to any Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon automatically be converted into the right to receive the consideration referred to in Section 1.02, pursuant to the exchange procedures set forth in Section 1.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Merger is rescinded or abandoned, then the right of a stockholder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall give the Parent (a) written notice of any demand for payment of the fair value of any shares of Company Stock or any attempted withdrawal of any such demand for payment and any other instrument served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to any stockholder’s dissenters’ rights and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for payment under the DGCL. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demand for appraisal with respect to any Dissenting Shares without the prior written consent of the Parent.

1.12 Withholding. Each of the Parent, the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent, the Surviving Company and the Representative shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable Tax Law. The Parent shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Representative with notice, at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing, of any required withholding. To the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the applicable Tax authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

6.02 Notification. From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, if the Parent becomes aware of, or if there occurs after the date of this Agreement, any fact or condition that constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Parent and the Merger Sub in Article IV or of any covenant that, in either case, would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or Section7.02(b), as applicable, not

- 32 -

to be satisfied as of the Closing Date, the Parent shall disclose to the Company such breach. No information provided pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be deemed to cure any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Agreement.

6.03 Indemnification of Officers and Directors of the Company.

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing, the Parent shall cause the Surviving Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing, an officer or director of a Group Company (each, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), against all Losses in connection with any claim, Action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Person is or was an officer or director of a Group Company, and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) to the same extent that such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date hereof by the Group Companies pursuant to their respective organizational documents and indemnification agreements of the Company, if any, in existence on the date hereof with any D&O Indemnified Party.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing and at all times subject to applicable Law, (i) the Parent shall not (and shall not cause or permit any Group Company or any of the Parent’s other Subsidiaries or Affiliates to) amend or modify in any way adverse to the D&O Indemnified Parties, or to the beneficiaries thereof, the exculpation and indemnification provisions set forth in the organizational documents of the Group Companies (except (x) as required by applicable Law or (y) unless the provisions as so amended, repealed or modified in connection with a restructuring in which the governing documents of the surviving company include substantially equivalent exculpation or indemnification provisions with respect to such acts for the benefit of such persons), and (ii) the Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company as of the date hereof (the “Current Policies”) (provided that the Parent may substitute such policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent that such premiums exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by or on behalf of the Company for the Current Policies (the “Premium Amount”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Amount, then the Parent shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Closing and in satisfaction of the Parent’s foregoing obligations under this Section 6.03, each of the Parent and the Company shall be permitted to purchase (at the Parent’s expense, and without duplication) a six (6) year “tail” prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “D&O Tail”), effective as of the Closing, providing, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, the coverage and amounts, and terms and

- 33 -

conditions, contemplated by the foregoing sentence of this Section 6.03(b); provided that the Company shall not pay an aggregate amount for such D&O Tail in excess of the Premium Amount. If such premiums for such D&O Tail would require an expenditure that exceeds the Premium Amount, then the Parent or the Surviving Company may obtain, in satisfaction of the foregoing, a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. From and after the Closing, the Parent shall (and/or shall cause the Group Companies or its other subsidiaries or Affiliates, as applicable, to) continue to honor its obligations under any such insurance procured pursuant to this Section 6.03(b), and shall not cancel (or permit to be canceled) or take (or cause to be taken) any action or omission that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation thereof.

(c) The Parent agrees to pay, or to cause the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay, all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the D&O Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.03 to the extent such enforcement results in a final, non-appealable judgment in favor of the applicable D&O Indemnified Parties.

(d) If the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns proposes to (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and the Surviving Company shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made prior to or concurrently with the consummation of such transaction so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company shall, from and after the consummation of such transaction, honor the indemnification and other obligations set forth in this Section 6.03.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Party, and his or her successors, heirs and representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Company and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.

6.04 Efforts to Consummate. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each of the Parent and the Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in Article VII); provided that such efforts shall not require agreeing to any obligations or accommodations (financial or otherwise) binding on the Parent or the Merger Sub in the event the Closing does not occur. At the Parent’s reasonable request, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such notices, or to obtain such third party consents or approvals, as may be required by any Lease or Material Contract in connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that in no event shall any Group Company be required to undertake any material expenses or obligations in connection therewith other than (i) expenses that are funded or reimbursed by the Parent or (ii) obligations that are not effective prior to the Effective Time.

- 34 -

6.05 Conduct of Business of Parent. Before the Effective Time, the Parent shall not take, or agree or commit to take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates and representatives not to take or agree or commit to take, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations. The Parent and its Subsidiaries shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their respective businesses, assets and operations.

6.06 Release. Effective as of and conditioned upon the Closing, the Group Companies and their respective successors and assigns (each, a “Releasing Person”) hereby fully and unconditionally release, acquit and forever discharge the current and former equityholders and controlling persons of the Company, and each of their respective controlling Affiliates, each solely in their capacities as such (each, a “Released Person”), from any and all manner of actions, causes of action, claims, obligations, demands, damages, costs, expenses, compensation or other relief, whether known or unknown, whether in law or equity, arising out of or relating to or accruing from their relationship with the Company prior to the Closing.

6.07 280G Vote. The Company shall submit to a vote of the Company Shareholders for their determination all payments or benefits that in the absence of such a vote could reasonably be viewed as “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder) made to any individuals that are “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), which shareholder vote shall be conducted in a manner that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Parent. Prior to such vote, the Company shall obtain waivers from each disqualified individual of some or all of such disqualified individual’s parachute payments such that all remaining payments and/or benefits, if any, shall not constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of section 280G(b)(1) of the Code with respect to such disqualified individual or, in the absence of the shareholder approval referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, shall not be payable to or retained by such disqualified individual to the extent such excess parachute payments would not be deductible by reason of the application of Section 280G of the Code or would result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code on such disqualified individual.

Nasdaq to Acquire eVestment

The preeminent data, content and analytics platform to the global institutional investment

industry

A subscription-based SaaS recurring revenue model that has delivered double-digit organic

revenue growth

Acquisition expected to provide attractive returns

on capital

NEW YORK, Sept. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nasdaq (Nasdaq:NDAQ) announced today that it will acquire eVestment, an industry leading content and analytics provider used by asset managers, investment consultants and asset owners to help facilitate institutional investment decisions. The acquisition is expected to deliver attractive shareholder returns with a combination of recurring, predictable revenue, a strong track record of growth and attractive cash flow dynamics.

eVestment provides institutional investors the largest, most comprehensive database for both traditional and alternative strategies, including as many as 2,800 individual data points on more than 74,000 investment vehicles. eVestment has more than 2,000 clients, including 92% of the top asset managers, 76% of the top consulting firms and 80% of the top 20 pension funds.

“The investment management community is relying increasingly on independent data and advanced analytics to drive their key business decisions, including asset allocation and investment choices. eVestment is the definitive source from asset managers of critical fund-level and investment-level data and analytics to enable asset owners to make informed decisions,” said Adena Friedman, President and CEO, Nasdaq. “The strategic alignment of eVestment with Nasdaq’s complementary technology and services to the global institutional investment industry, including our surveillance technology, SMARTS, our recent Analytics Hub launch, as well as our long standing operation of the Mutual Fund Quotation Service, will further expand our buy side relationships, accelerate our growth opportunities, and advance our objectives to deliver proprietary analytics to our clients.”

Friedman continued, “As a trusted steward of the capital markets industry, we view our partnership with eVestment as a means of strengthening Nasdaq’s support of the investment management industry through enhanced technology and service offerings. Additionally, Nasdaq’s global distribution will create opportunities to propel eVestment’s proprietary offering around the globe - creating a compelling value proposition for our clients and investors.”

eVestment will further enhance Nasdaq’s robust Global Information Services business by allowing the company to broaden its reach into the buy-side and leverage the extensive expertise of the leadership team. Nasdaq’s data and index operations, coupled with eVestment’s institutional focus, will result in the creation of new solutions and expanded distribution to support the asset management community.

“Our leadership team is excited to join Nasdaq. We believe the combined organization will allow us to grow our core business while tapping into Nasdaq’s technology expertise, leading data and software products, and global distribution,” said Jim Minnick, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder, eVestment. “We’ve grown this business at a 12% annual growth rate since 2013, and together, we expect to produce new and expanded opportunities for our clients by combining our proprietary capabilities with Nasdaq’s core information services offerings.”

Subject to customary conditions and approvals, Nasdaq will acquire eVestment for $705 million funded through a mix of debt and cash on hand. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017. The acquisition supports the company’s ambition to deliver double digit shareholder returns to shareholders. The company intends to reduce leverage toward its long-term debt/EBITDA targets, and it will continue to pursue its capital return objectives, including growing the dividend as earnings and cash flow grow, and executing the share buyback program with the primary objective of offsetting the impact of equity issuances.

Nasdaq will host a call for the investment community today at 8:30 am ET to discuss Nasdaq’s strategic direction and details of the eVestment acquisition. Senior management will be available for questions following prepared remarks via the following telephone numbers using conference ID 80585472: 866.302.4765 (U.S.) and (419) 386-0006 (International), and a webcast and supplemental presentation will be available at ir.nasdaq.com/events.
