broker non-vote financial
"A vote marked as “ABSTAIN” or a broker non-vote is not considered a vote cast"
say-on-pay financial
"This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity"
A say-on-pay is a shareholder vote that gives investors a chance to approve or disapprove a company’s executive compensation packages, typically held at annual meetings. It matters because the vote signals investor satisfaction with how leaders are paid—like customers rating how well managers are rewarded—and can push boards to change pay plans, reducing governance risk and affecting investor confidence and stock value even though the vote is usually advisory rather than legally binding.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis financial
"including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” “Executive Compensation Tables,” and related material"
householding regulatory
"Shareholders Who Share an Address (Householding) Two or more Clarivate shareholders who share an address"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This Proxy Statement includes statements that express our opinions... and therefore are, or may be deemed to be, “forward-looking statements”"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
independent registered public accountants financial
"ratify their appointment as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year 2026"

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
On behalf of our Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to the 2026 Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders of Clarivate Plc (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be held on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at the
Clarivate corporate headquarters located at 70 St. Mary Axe, London EC3A 8BE, United Kingdom, starting
at 1:00 p.m. BST.
The enclosed Notice of the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and Proxy Statement describe
the business that we will conduct at the meeting and the proposals that the shareholders of Clarivate will
consider and vote upon.
All shareholders of record of our ordinary shares at the close of business on March 16, 2026, the Record
Date, are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, or any continuation,
postponement, or adjournment thereof. If you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, we encourage
you to request an admission ticket in advance. You can request a ticket in advance by following the
instructions under “Admission Procedure” in the Proxy Statement. Failure to request an admission ticket in
advance will not preclude your attendance at the Annual Meeting in person. However, in each case, an
individual must have evidence of ownership of the Company’s ordinary shares as of the Record Date and
a valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., a driver’s license or a passport) and should arrive in
advance, with sufficient time to be admitted to the Annual Meeting.
Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person, it is important that your shares be
represented and voted at the meeting. If you have elected to receive your proxy materials by mail, please
mark, sign, date, and return the proxy card in the envelope accompanying the proxy materials. If you
received your proxy materials through the internet, please submit your voting instructions by internet or
otherwise in accordance with the instructions provided in the notice of internet availability of proxy
materials that you received in the mail. You may also submit your proxy by sending a scanned PDF
version of the original proxy card by email to Company.Secretary@clarivate.com. If your shares are
held in the name of a bank or broker, submitting your voting instructions by mail, telephone, or internet will
depend on the processes of the bank or broker, and you should follow the instructions you receive from
your bank or broker.
Returning the proxy card or otherwise submitting your proxy does not deprive you of your right to attend
the Annual Meeting and vote. If you decide to attend the Annual Meeting, you will be able to revoke your
proxy and vote. Any signed proxy returned and not completed will be voted by management in favor of all
proposals presented in the Proxy Statement.
Remember that your shares cannot be voted unless you submit your proxy or attend the Annual Meeting

(2)As this proposal is not considered a discretionary matter, brokers lack authority to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this
proposal.
(3)As this proposal is considered a discretionary matter, brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.
Please note that under NYSE rules, brokers may not vote your shares on certain “non-routine” matters without your voting
instructions. Accordingly, if you do not provide your bank, broker, or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your
shares, this will be considered a “broker non-vote” and your bank, broker, or nominee will not be permitted to vote those
shares on Proposal 1 (Re-Election of Directors) or Proposal 2 (Advisory Approval of Executive Compensation). Your
bank, broker, or nominee will be entitled to cast votes on Proposal 3 (Ratification of Appointment of Independent
Registered Public Accountants). We encourage you to provide instructions to your bank, broker, or nominee regarding the
voting of your shares.

of shares voted “AGAINST” that director.
You may instruct to vote “FOR,” or “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” for each of the director nominees. If you “ABSTAIN” from
voting with respect to the proposal, your vote is not considered a vote cast and will have no effect for such proposal. If you
do not provide your bank, broker, or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to Proposal
1, your broker or nominee will not be entitled to cast votes and a “broker non-vote” on Proposal 1 will result. “Broker non-
votes” are not considered votes cast and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Board is responsible for providing governance and oversight of the strategy, operations, and management of the
Company. The primary mission of the Board is to represent and protect the interests of our shareholders. The Board
oversees our senior management, to whom it has delegated the authority to manage the day-to-day operations of the
Company.
Board Leadership Structure
The Board believes strongly in the value of an independent board of directors to provide effective oversight of
management. Nine of our ten current Board members, who are also our director nominees, are independent. The Board
also has all independent members on its standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Human Resources and
Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, and the Finance Committee. The independent
members of the Board meet regularly without management, and such meetings are conducted by the Board Chair, whose
role is described further below.
The Board believes it is important to retain its flexibility to allocate the responsibilities of the offices of the Board Chair and
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) in any way that it deems to be in the best interests of the Company. Currently, the
positions of Board Chair and CEO are separate, and Andrew Snyder, our Non-Executive Board Chair, is an independent
director. The Board Chair oversees the planning of the annual Board calendar, and, in consultation with the CEO,
schedules and sets the agenda for meetings of the Board and leads the discussion at such meetings. The Board Chair
also presides at executive sessions, serves as a liaison between the CEO and the independent directors, sees that
directors receive appropriate and timely information, assists the committee chairs in preparing agendas for the respective
committee meetings, chairs the annual general meetings of shareholders, is available in appropriate circumstances to
speak on behalf of the Board, and performs such other functions and responsibilities as set forth in the Company’s
Corporate Governance Guidelines or as requested by the Board from time to time. Board members are encouraged to
suggest the inclusion of additional items on an agenda, and any director may request that an item be placed on an
agenda. The Board Chair is responsible for creating and maintaining an effective working relationship with the members of
management and the Board and encouraging dialogue between all directors and management.
Each of the Company’s directors, except Mr. Shem Tov, is independent (see “Independence of Directors” below). The
Board believes that the independent directors, including its Non-Executive Board Chair, Mr. Snyder, provide effective
oversight of management.
Corporate Governance Practices
Clarivate has a history of strong corporate governance. The Company believes good governance is critical to achieving
long-term shareholder value. The following table summarizes certain highlights of our corporate governance practices and
policies:
Our Practices and Policies
vAnnual election of all directors
vBoard takes active role in succession planning
v100% independent Board committees
vRegular shareholder engagement by our CEO, CFO, and Investor
Relations team
v9 independent directors (out of 10)
vAnnual Board and committee self-evaluations
vRegular executive sessions, where independent directors meet
without management present
vActive Board oversight of strategy, risk management, and
sustainability matters
vDirector overboarding policy limiting service to three other public
company boards; no Audit Committee member may simultaneously
serve on the audit committee of more than two other public
companies; and our CEO and executive officers may only serve on
the board of one other public company
vRobust director selection process resulting in a diverse and global
Board in terms of experience, perspectives, skills, and tenure

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
The Role of the Board of Directors in Risk Oversight
We recognize that risk is inherent in innovation and the pursuit of long-term growth opportunities.
Management at Clarivate is responsible for day-to-day risk management activities. The Company has formed a risk
management committee to supervise these day-to-day risk management efforts, including identifying potential material
risks and appropriate and reasonable risk mitigation efforts. The Board, acting directly and through its committees, is
responsible for the oversight of the Company’s risk management. With the oversight of the Board, we have implemented
practices and programs designed to help manage the risks to which we are exposed in our business and to align risk-
taking appropriately with our efforts to increase shareholder value. Each of the Board’s four committees — Audit, Human
Resources and Compensation, Nominating and Governance, and Finance — has a role in assisting the Board in its
oversight of the Company’s risk management, as set forth in the relevant committee charters.
In furtherance of the Board’s risk oversight responsibilities and practices, the Board’s Audit Committee brings additional
Board-level focus to the oversight of the Company’s management of key risks, as well as the Company’s guidelines,
policies, practices, and processes with respect to risk assessment, monitoring, and management. The Audit Committee
meets at least quarterly. Each standing Board committee also reports regularly to the full Board on its activities.
In addition, the Board participates in regular discussions among the Board and with senior management on many core
subjects, including strategy, operations, finance, information technology and cybersecurity, human resources, legal and
public policy matters, and any other subjects regarding which the Board or its committees consider risk oversight an
inherent element. The Board believes that the leadership structure described above under “Board Leadership Structure”
facilitates the Board’s oversight of risk management because it allows the Board, with leadership from the independent
Board Chair and working through its independent committees, to participate actively in the oversight of management’s
actions.

Organization of the Board of Directors
The Board held seven formal meetings during fiscal year 2025 and held a number of additional informal update and
background calls. At each meeting, the Board Chair was the presiding director. Each director attended at least 75 percent
of the total regularly scheduled and special meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served, except
Michael Angelakis, who did not attend the May 2025 Board and committee meetings which preceded his retirement from
the Board following the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders. Our Board expects each director to attend our
annual general meeting of shareholders, although attendance is not required. At the 2025 annual general meeting of
shareholders, ten of the then 11 directors on the Board (all except Mr. Angelakis) were in attendance.
Following the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders on May 7, 2025, Mr. Angelakis retired from the Board,
reducing its size to ten members. On July 22, 2025, Kenneth Cornick was elected to the Board, increasing its size to 11
members. On December 31, 2025, Valeria Alberola resigned from the Board, reducing its size to ten members.
The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, committee charters, and a Code of Conduct, which, together
with the Articles, form the governance framework for the Board and its committees. We believe good governance
strengthens the Board and management’s accountability.

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
The Board regularly (and at least annually) reviews its Corporate Governance Guidelines and other corporate governance
documents and revises them when it believes it serves the interests of the Company and its shareholders to do so.

Key Corporate Governance Documents
The following governance documents are accessible through the Investor Relations section of our website at
ir.clarivate.com:
vArticles of Association
vCorporate Governance Guidelines
vBoard Committee Charters
vCode of Conduct
vInsider Trading Policy
Director Nomination Agreements
In connection with Clarivate’s acquisition of CPA Global in October 2020, Clarivate entered into an Investor Rights
Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the owners of CPA Global, including affiliates of Leonard Green &
Partners, L.P. (“LGP”), and certain existing shareholders of Clarivate at the time, including affiliates of Onex Partners
Advisor LP (“Onex”), pursuant to which LGP was given the right to nominate two members of the Board for so long as
LGP maintains ownership of at least 10% of Clarivate, and one member of the Board for so long as LGP maintains
ownership of at least 5% of Clarivate. Mr. Cortas and Mr. Levyn have been nominated to the Board pursuant to the
Investor Rights Agreement.
In connection with Exor N.V.’s investment in the Company in March 2024, Clarivate entered into an Investment Agreement
with Exor (the “Investment Agreement”). Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, Clarivate agreed to include Ms.
Heywood in the Board’s annual slate of nominee directors, or if Ms. Heywood becomes unavailable to continue her
service as director, another individual designated by Exor and reasonably acceptable to the Board (the “Exor Designee”).
The Exor Designee will be required to promptly tender his or her resignation from the Board at such time at which Exor
beneficially owns less than 5% of Clarivate’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares.
Independence of Directors
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and NYSE listing standards, a director is considered independent if such
director does not fall within certain bright-line tests and the Board affirmatively determines that such director “has no
material relationship” with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder, or officer of an organization that has a
relationship with the Company). As part of the Board’s annual review of director independence, the Board considers the
Nominating and Governance Committee’s independence assessment and recommendation. The Board also reviews and
considers any relationships or transactions between any director or any member of his or her immediate family and the
Company, in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines. In addition to the transactions described in “Certain
Relationships and Related Person Transactions” below, the Board has reviewed and deemed immaterial for purposes of
determining director independence certain transactions and relationships in the following categories: (i) transactions
between Clarivate and an entity where the director is an executive officer or a significant shareholder and where all
shareholders of the entity received the same consideration for the transaction and such transaction occurred at a time
where the director was not otherwise affiliated with Clarivate; (ii) customer relationships between Clarivate and an entity
where the director is a significant shareholder or serves as a non-management director which also fall below the
numerical thresholds in NYSE listing standards (or do not otherwise preclude independence under those standards), and
that are ordinary course, on arm’s-length market terms; (iii) relationships between Clarivate and an entity where the
director is a significant shareholder and serves solely as a non-management director; and (iv) a director’s significant direct
or indirect ownership stake in Clarivate.
Based on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s independence assessment and recommendation, the Board
affirmatively determined that each member of the Board, other than Mr. Shem Tov, is independent under our Corporate
Governance Guidelines and NYSE listing standards. The Board determined that Ms. Alberola was independent through
her resignation from the Board in December 2025. Mr. Shem Tov is not independent due to his position as CEO of the
Company. In addition, the Board has determined that all members of each of the Audit Committee, Human Resources and
Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, and Finance Committee of the Board meet the
independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between any of Clarivate’s executive officers and directors.

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
During 2025, none of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of a company
that has an executive officer that serves on the Board or the Human Resources and Compensation Committee.
Simultaneous Service on Other Public Company Boards
The Board does not believe that its members should be generally prohibited from serving on boards of other
organizations. However, as set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board believes that
reasonable limits on such activity are advisable in order to ensure adequate time is available for Board members to focus
on the Company and its business. For that reason, the Board has determined that no non-management director may
serve on the board of more than three other public companies, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and each of its
executive officers may only serve on the board of one other public company. In addition, as set forth in the Audit
Committee charter and the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, no Audit Committee member may
simultaneously serve on the audit committee of more than two other public companies, unless the Board determines that
such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of the member to effectively serve on the Audit Committee and this
determination is disclosed in accordance with NYSE rules.
In addition, other than with respect to any directors and director candidates designated pursuant to the Investor Rights
Agreement and the Investment Agreement (for so long as such agreements are in effect), for whom the Nominating and
Governance Committee does not provide a recommendation to the Board, the Nominating and Governance Committee
may take into account the nature of and time involved in a director’s service on other boards and/or committees in
evaluating the suitability of individual director candidates and current directors.
Code of Conduct
Clarivate has adopted a Code of Conduct that applies to all its employees, officers, and directors. This includes the
Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons
performing similar functions.
Our Code of Conduct is available on our website at ir.clarivate.com. If we approve any substantive amendment to our
Code of Conduct, or if we grant any waiver of our Code of Conduct to our directors or executive officers (including our
principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer), we will post an update on the
Investor Relations page of our website within four business days following the date of the amendment or waiver,
describing the nature and date of the amendment or the nature of the waiver, the name of the person to whom it was
granted, and the date of the waiver, as the case may be.
Director Share Ownership Guidelines
We believe that our non-employee directors should have a significant equity interest in the Company. Our Board has
adopted an ownership policy in our Corporate Governance Guidelines that requires independent directors to hold ordinary
shares with a market value of at least five times the Board’s annual cash Board retainer. Directors have five years from
their initial appointment to achieve the holding requirement. Mr. Cortas and Mr. Levyn, as affiliates of LGP, and Mr. Munk,
as an affiliate of Onex, do not receive compensation for their service as directors and are not subject to the holding
requirement. The share ownership guidelines applicable to our non-employee directors are described in more detail under
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Share Ownership Guidelines” below.
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by
directors, officers, employees, and other covered persons that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance
with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE listing standards. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as
Exhibit 19.1 to the Annual Report and is posted on our website at ir.clarivate.com.
Our insider trading policy prohibits executive officers, directors, employees, and consultants from entering into certain
forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. Stock options granted
to employees under our equity compensation plans are not covered by the prohibition.
We also have a pledging policy for directors and senior executives (including executive officers) that prohibits them from
purchasing Clarivate securities on margin or holding Clarivate securities in a margin account, or otherwise pledging
Clarivate securities as collateral for a loan.

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
Board, Committee, and Individual Director Evaluations
Each year, our Board and its committees perform a rigorous self-evaluation overseen by the Nominating and Governance
Committee. The performance evaluations solicit input from directors regarding the performance and effectiveness of the
Board and its committees and provide an opportunity for members of the Board to identify areas for improvement. The
Nominating and Governance Committee reviews the results and feedback from the evaluation process and makes
recommendations to the full Board. Each committee also reviews the results and feedback from its own evaluation
process. The Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee leads a discussion of the evaluation results. Our Board
has successfully used this process to evaluate Board and committee effectiveness and identify opportunities to strengthen
the Board.
Board Committees and Their Composition
The Board has established four standing committees: Audit, Human Resources and Compensation, Nominating and
Governance, and Finance, each of which operates under a written charter that is posted on our website at
ir.clarivate.com.
The Board periodically reviews the needs of the Board and the Company in determining its standing committees.  The
Board reviews the composition of the Board committees annually and considers the expertise of the directors with the
needs of the committees.

Company’s independent auditor. The Audit Committee oversees management’s
policies and activities relating to the identification, evaluation, management, and
monitoring of the Company’s critical enterprise risks, including risks associated with
the Company’s strategic initiatives, business plans, and capital structure. The Audit
Committee reviews and discusses the quarterly and annual financial statements
with management and the Company’s independent auditor. The Audit Committee
establishes procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints
received by the Company regarding accounting, internal controls, or audit matters.
The Audit Committee approves any related person transactions in accordance with
the Company’s policies and procedures. The Audit Committee also prepares the

SEC rules require to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement or
annual report. The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with
Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Board Composition and Director Nominations
Our Board nominates directors to be elected at each annual general meeting of shareholders and appoints new directors
to fill vacancies when they arise, with any such newly appointed directors eligible for re-election at the next annual general
meeting of Clarivate. Board refreshment and succession planning is an ongoing, year-round process. The Board
recognizes that it is important for the Board to balance the benefits of continuity with the benefits of fresh viewpoints and
experience. While it is not the policy of the Board to mandate specific term limits or a specific retirement age for directors,
the Nominating and Governance Committee regularly reviews the composition of the Board and the appropriateness of
each director’s continued service on the Board in light of the current challenges and needs of the Board and the Company,
and determines whether it may be appropriate to add directors or reduce the size of the Board. The Board believes the
current composition of the Board and mix of tenures provides for a highly effective and well-functioning Board.
Subject to the requirements of the Investor Rights Agreement and the Investment Agreement, the Nominating and
Governance Committee will consider persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers,
and others. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, generally
provide that persons to be nominated:
vshould have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education, or public service;
vshould possess the requisite intelligence, education, and experience to make a significant contribution to the Board
and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives, and backgrounds to its deliberations; and
vshould have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism, and intense dedication to serving the
interests of the shareholders.
The Nominating and Governance Committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and
leadership experience, background, technical skill, diversity of experience, judgment, integrity, and professionalism in
evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the Board. The Nominating and Governance Committee may require
certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific Board needs that arise from time to
time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of Board
members. Subject to the requirements of the Investor Rights Agreement and the Investment Agreement, the Nominating
and Governance Committee will not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.
Shareholders may recommend candidates for consideration by the Board by contacting the Board as indicated under
“Communications with the Board.”

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee oversees director compensation and periodically evaluates the
compensation of our non-employee directors with the assistance of Pay Governance, the committee’s independent
compensation consultant. Pay Governance reviews director pay levels and provides analyses on where the Company is
positioned relative to director compensation benchmarks. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee may
bring recommendations for adjustments to non-employee director compensation to the Board for review and approval.
The Articles provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify its directors and officers
against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, or expenses, including legal expenses, which
they may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions in connection with the Company, other
than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or willful default.
The Company maintains a directors’ and officers’ liability policy for the benefit of any director or officer in the event of any
loss or liability the director or officer may experience with respect to any negligence, default, breach of duty, or breach of
trust, regardless of whether we may otherwise indemnify such officer or director.

PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION
At the 2021 annual general meeting of shareholders, we conducted an advisory, non-binding vote regarding the frequency
with which we would seek approval of the compensation of our named executive officers (“NEOs”). At such meeting,
shareholders expressed their preference for an annual vote on executive compensation on an advisory, non-binding basis
and, consistent with this preference, the Board determined that we will conduct such a vote on an annual basis. Our next
advisory, non-binding vote regarding the frequency with which we would seek approval of the compensation of our NEOs
will occur at the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders.
Accordingly, in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and related SEC rules, we are providing our
shareholders with the opportunity to vote, on an advisory, non-binding basis, on the compensation of our NEOs for 2025,
as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, including the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” “Executive Compensation
Tables,” and related material.
As described in detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our executive compensation programs are designed
to:
vSupport our mission, vision, and values.
vProvide appropriate rewards aligned to the achievement of key business objectives and growth in shareholder value.
vAlign executive compensation with key stakeholder interests and support a pay-for-performance culture.
vAttract, retain, and motivate highly qualified executive talent.
vBe globally consistent and locally competitive.
Under these programs, our NEOs are rewarded for achieving specific individual and corporate goals, with an emphasis on
creating overall shareholder value. Our compensation programs continue to be a key driver of shareholder value creation,
with a strong emphasis on variable/at-risk compensation as opposed to fixed compensation. Shareholders continue to
show strong support of our executive compensation programs, with approximately 99% of the votes cast for approval
of our executive compensation proposal at our 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders.
Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” for additional details about our executive compensation
programs, including information about the fiscal year 2025 compensation of our NEOs. Below are highlights of our
program designed to ensure effective oversight of our executive compensation and strong corporate governance.
üWe have a Human Resources and Compensation Committee that is fully composed of independent directors.
üThe Human Resources and Compensation Committee engages an independent compensation consultant.
üWe have adopted share ownership guidelines for our executive officers and the Board.
üThe majority of NEO pay is at risk and dependent upon performance.
üThe mix of executive officer equity awards includes a performance-based element.
üWe engage with our shareholders to discuss executive compensation and corporate governance matters.
üWe maintain robust clawback policies that require covered executives to reimburse compensation in specified
circumstances.
üWe do not permit our employees to engage in hedging transactions.
üWe do not permit our employees to pledge Company securities to secure margin or other loans.
üWe do not reprice underwater stock options.
üWe do not provide excise tax gross-up payments.

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
The Human Resources and Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our NEOs to
ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our shareholders’ interests
and current market practices.
We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our named executive officer compensation program and
practices as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our
shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our NEOs’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any
specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our NEOs and the philosophy, policies, and
practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we are asking our shareholders to approve the compensation
policies and practices of our NEOs as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of
the SEC (which include the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Executive Compensation Tables, and related
material).
The text of the resolution with respect to Proposal 2 (which is proposed as an
ordinary resolution) is as follows:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company hereby approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, the
compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as disclosed in the Proxy Statement relating to the 2026 Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders.”
Vote Required and Recommendation
The proposal will pass if approved by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the shareholders entitled to
vote in person or represented by proxy.
The vote is advisory and therefore its result is not binding on the Company, the Human Resources and Compensation
Committee, or the Board. The Board and the Human Resources and Compensation Committee value the opinions of our
shareholders, and, to the extent there is a significant vote against the NEO compensation policies and practices as
disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our shareholders’ concerns and the Human Resources and
Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.
With respect to Proposal 2, you may instruct to vote “FOR,” or “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on, such proposal. If
you “ABSTAIN” from voting, your vote is not considered a vote cast and will have no effect on such proposal. If you do not
provide your broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 2, your broker
or nominee will not be entitled to cast votes, and a “broker non-vote” on Proposal 2 will result. Broker non-votes are not
considered votes cast and will have no effect on the vote for this proposal.

Shareholder Engagement
Strong engagement with our shareholders is critically important to us, so we design our disclosures to be as open and
transparent as possible in order to facilitate these important discussions, which provide us with valuable input and
feedback. We hold hundreds of meetings with shareholders every year, and in the context of those meetings there is
occasionally discussion of our executive compensation and corporate governance practices, and we consider the input we
receive as we continue to refine our executive compensation program. Our advisory approval of executive compensation
proposal received a 99% approval rate among shareholders who voted on our executive compensation proposal at the
2025 annual general meeting of shareholders. Given this strong support, the HRCC determined that our approach to
compensation should remain relatively consistent in 2026.
Our Approach to Pay
Our Compensation Philosophy
Our goal is to provide an executive compensation program that reinforces a pay-for-performance culture, serving the
interests of our shareholders while supporting our mission, vision, and values. We believe that attracting and retaining
superior talent and rewarding performance are key to delivering long-term shareholder returns, and that a competitive
compensation program is critical to that end. Therefore, we strive to provide a competitive compensation package to our
executives that is heavily weighted toward performance-based pay elements that align the interests of our executives with
those of Clarivate shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
Objectives to Support Our Compensation Philosophy
In order to achieve the goals of our compensation and benefits program, we have adopted the following objectives and
guidelines:
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Total Rewards Strategy Supports Our Mission,
Vision, and Values
The components of our compensation program encourage our
employees to aim for greatness by pursuing top performance and
challenging the status quo in the belief that human ingenuity can
transform the world and improve our future.
Incentives Aligned to Key Business Objectives
We aim to drive superior business and financial results by setting
clear, measurable short- and long-term performance targets that
support our business strategy and the creation of long-term
shareholder value while also ensuring that our executives are not
incentivized to take inappropriate risks.
Supports a Pay-for-Performance Culture
Total compensation should be competitive and performance should
be appropriately rewarded. We believe incentive design should
provide for meaningful variability in payouts based on the degree to
which performance exceeds or falls short of our goals.
Designed to Attract, Retain, and Motivate Top
Talent
Total compensation should be competitive in order to attract qualified
individuals, motivate performance, and retain, develop, and reward
employees with the abilities and skills needed to foster long-term
value creation.
Programs Globally Consistent and Locally
Competitive
Total compensation should be globally consistent and locally
competitive to attract and retain qualified talent in the markets in
which we operate.
Determination of Executive Compensation
The Role of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee
The HRCC is composed of independent, non-employee members of the Board. Details of the HRCC’s authority and
responsibilities are specified in the HRCC’s charter, which may be accessed on our website, ir.clarivate.com.
With respect to CEO and executive officer compensation, the HRCC:
vReviews and approves the corporate goals and objectives as they relate to incentive compensation targets and
payouts at various levels;
vEvaluates the CEO’s performance in light of these goals and objectives;
vSets the CEO’s compensation based on the evaluation of the CEO’s performance either alone or, if directed by the
Board, in conjunction with a, majority of the independent directors on the Board;
vReviews and sets the compensation of the executive officers other than the CEO and, if directed by the Board or if the
HRCC otherwise deems it appropriate, makes recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of the
executive officers other than the CEO;
vReviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding non-employee director compensation;
vReviews and approves the Company’s CD&A disclosure, as required by SEC rules, and provides a recommendation
to the Board whether to include the CD&A disclosure in the Company’s Proxy Statement or Annual Report on Form
10-K;
vRecommends to the Board whether to approve the frequency (Say-When-on-Pay) with which the Company will
conduct advisory approvals of executive compensation (Say-on-Pay votes), taking into consideration the results of the
most recent shareholder advisory vote on the frequency of Say-on-Pay votes;
vAdministers our Executive Compensation Recoupment Policy and such other compensation recoupment policies that
we have in effect from time to time;
vReviews and assesses risks arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices and whether such risks
are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company; and
30
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
vOversees human capital management, including in the context of talent management and succession planning.
The HRCC works closely with its independent compensation consultant and senior management to consider a variety of
factors when making compensation decisions throughout the year, including:
vExperience, responsibilities, and individual and overall Company performance;
vInternal equity among executives;
vExecutive succession planning;
vCompetitive external market data and trends; and
vAlignment with shareholders, customers, and other colleagues.
As part of the responsibilities described in its charter, the HRCC sets objective business performance targets and the
amounts payable at different levels of performance under each of our incentive plans. Goal setting is a critical part of the
Company’s overall business planning process. As part of this process, a range of performance scenarios is developed.
Goals are then set at the threshold, target, and maximum performance levels — driven by the strategic and operational
plans as presented by management and approved by the Board. The HRCC also considers the probability of achievement
of different levels of performance when setting goals.
The Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
In 2025, the HRCC engaged Pay Governance as its independent compensation consultant to advise on executive
compensation matters. Pay Governance specializes in executive compensation and related governance matters. To
ensure the HRCC receives independent and unbiased advice and analysis, the compensation consultant is prohibited
from providing any services to management, although the compensation consultant interacts with management from time
to time in order to best coordinate with and deliver services to the HRCC. The HRCC has sole authority with regard to the
decision to retain and terminate the services of the compensation consultant and to approve the compensation
consultant’s fees and other retention terms. The compensation consultant maintains active engagement with the HRCC
Chair and reports to the HRCC. The HRCC annually reviews the independence of the compensation consultant’s work
under rules adopted by the SEC and NYSE and has found no conflicts.
In 2025, the independent compensation consultant performed duties requested by the HRCC including:
vProviding analysis and recommendations on the composition of the peer group;
vAnalyzing executive and director compensation in comparison to the peer group;
vAdvising the HRCC on increasing the available share reserve under the Company’s incentive award plan;
vAdvising the HRCC on executive severance policies;
vUpdating the HRCC on executive compensation and governance market trends;
vAdvising the HRCC on annual incentive and long-term equity plan designs;
vPreparing a risk review relative to compensation policies and practices; and
vReviewing disclosures related to executive compensation.
Pay Governance speaks with the chair of the HRCC, as well as with management, in preparing for HRCC meetings,
regularly attends HRCC meetings, and meets from time to time in executive sessions with the HRCC without the presence
of management.
The Role of Management
At the HRCC’s request, management provides information, analyses, and recommendations regarding our executive
compensation program, as well as information regarding our achievement of performance metrics. Our CEO discusses
with the HRCC his views on the performance and compensation of the other NEOs and CEO direct reports.

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
The Use of Peer Group Benchmarking and Market Data
Peer Group Benchmarking
The HRCC considers several factors in structuring our executive compensation program, determining pay components,
and making compensation decisions. This includes an annual review and comparison of the compensation practices of
select peer companies in our industry. These companies were chosen with guidance from our independent compensation
consultant to be effective for 2025. It was the HRCC’s intent to select companies that operate significant lines of business
similar to Clarivate’s and are similar in size, and therefore compete with Clarivate for executive talent.
We established a peer group for benchmarking executive pay based on the following guiding principles:
vCompanies engaged in intelligence development, data analytics, digital delivery, cybersecurity, and intellectual
property protections;
vRevenues between $800 million to $8.0 billion;
vMarket capitalization between $1.4 billion to $28.0 billion;
vBusiness/talent competitors of Clarivate;
vA group of 10 to 25 companies so that results are statistically reliable and the peer group is sustainable over time; and
vAvailability of sufficient pay data for companies identified as potential peers.
Based on this analysis, the following 17 companies were selected as our primary peer group for compensation
benchmarking in 2025 (the “Peer Group”). Changes from our prior year’s peer group include removing Moody’s
Corporation, MSCI Inc., and Thomson Reuters Corporation due to their market capitalization being outside our financial
scope noted above and adding ACI Worldwide, Inc.; Envestnet, Inc.; and Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. based on our
industry and financial scope noted above.

Use of Market Comparison Data
The HRCC approves the salary, Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) targets, and Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTI”) equity
compensation of the NEOs at levels that are competitive with compensation paid to persons holding the same or similar
positions at members of the Peer Group using available market comparison data regarding these companies as a guide.
In addition to Peer Group market data, the HRCC also considered Willis Towers Watson compensation survey data from
similar industries and geographies in its competitive analysis of NEO compensation. The use of market comparison data,
however, is just one of the tools the HRCC uses to determine executive compensation, and the HRCC retains the
flexibility to establish target compensation at levels it deems appropriate for an individual or for a specific element of
compensation based on performance, experience, and breadth of responsibilities.

Alignment of Pay to Business Objectives
With regard to our variable/at-risk pay, we use multiple metrics to incentivize behavior that supports the achievement of
our corporate goals.
For our AIP, the metrics selected in 2025 to best support our short-term objectives included corporate-level Revenue,
Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Voice of Customer metrics. For our segment presidents, AIP metrics also included
segment-level revenue and Adjusted EBITDA goals and an individual performance component.
Our LTI program includes performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) that apply longer-term metrics including, for
our 2025 PSU grants, Recurring Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted diluted EPS, and Adjusted EBITDA, and for our 2024
and 2023 PSU grants, Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA, with, for all years, a total shareholder return (“TSR”)
modifier comparing our stock price performance to the S&P 500 over a cumulative three-year period.
Compensation for Our Named Executive Officers
For 2025, our NEOs were as follows:

compensation is at risk, with 88% for our CEO and an average of 82% for our other current NEOs. For purposes of these
estimates, total compensation is composed of base salary, AIP target, and RSU/PSU grant value. AIP and equity grants
are both considered at-risk pay.

Base Salary
Base salary represents annual fixed compensation and is a standard element of compensation necessary to attract and
retain executive leadership talent. In making base salary decisions for our NEOs other than the CEO, the HRCC considers
the CEO’s recommendations, as well as each NEO’s position and level of responsibility within the Company. The HRCC
also takes into account factors such as relevant market data, overall Company performance, individual performance and
contributions, relevant experience, and internal equity within the Company.

2025 Annual Incentive Plan
Our AIP provides the opportunity for annual cash incentives to be made to approximately 85% of our employees. Our AIP
is tied primarily to pre-established corporate-level goals for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. In addition,
in 2025, we set pre-established segment-level Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA goals for each of our three segments,
which, for the NEOs, applied based on the NEO’s scope of responsibility within that segment (as applicable). The ultimate
payout under the AIP is determined based on a company funding pool based on consolidated pre-bonus Adjusted EBITDA
and Voice of Customer achievement, along with application of an individual performance modifier, as follows:
vIn 2025, the performance metrics applicable to Mr. Shem Tov, Mr. Collins and Ms. Margolin were based entirely on the
corporate-level goal set.
vThe performance metrics applicable to Mr. Veinstein were based on both the corporate-level goals and the A&G
segment goal set.
vThe performance metrics applicable to Mr. Levy were based on both the corporate-level goals and the LS&H segment
goal set.
vThe performance metrics applicable to Mr. Mourad were based on both the corporate-level goals and the IP segment
goal set.
vFor each of Messrs. Veinstein, Levy, and Mourad, the corporate-level goals and segment-level goals each comprised
50% of the NEO’s AIP opportunity for 2025 (prior to application of the company funding pool and individual modifier).
vMr. Samson was ineligible to receive a 2025 AIP payout.
Each NEO has a target AIP award, which is defined as a percentage of the respective NEO’s eligible base pay.  The table
below provides AIP target opportunities for 2025, which reflect no changes from 2024.

AIP Goals
AIP bonus payouts for 2025 were determined first by measuring the achievement of the applicable corporate- and
segment-level goals described above. Then, an overall company funding pool is determined based on a combination of
consolidated pre-bonus Adjusted EBITDA performance (i.e., as determined prior to the determination of AIP payouts) and
Voice of Customer achievement, which can increase or decrease the achievement level resulting from the corporate- and
segment-level metric performance. Lastly, an individual modifier is applied, which can increase or decrease an individual’s
ultimate payout.
The tables below show the weighting of each of the metrics described above and the threshold, target, and maximum
payout levels. The consolidated pre-bonus Adjusted EBITDA metrics comprise 90% of the company funding pool and the
Voice of Customer metric comprises the remaining 10% of the funding pool, with the total AIP bonus subject to adjustment
based on individual performance. Pre-bonus Adjusted EBITDA performance can be achieved between 0% and 200% of
target, while Voice of Customer performance can be achieved between 90% and 110% of target. The individual
performance modifier can be used to increase or decrease an individual’s final AIP payment based on that individual’s
personal performance, as determined by the HRCC, provided that the maximum payment cannot exceed 200% of the AIP
target.

2025 Long-Term Incentive Program
Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan Grant Practices
Annual LTI awards to NEOs are typically granted in the first quarter of the year, although LTI awards may also be granted
to NEOs as part of the hiring process, in connection with a promotion or change in responsibility, or in response to
extraordinary circumstances. The HRCC approves the type and number of awards to be granted and the performance
criteria for awards. For all such grants, the grant date is no earlier than the date of HRCC approval. Awards are not spring-
loaded or otherwise timed to take advantage of material nonpublic information, and the Company does not manipulate the
timing of the public release of information to increase the value of an award.
The HRCC has delegated to the CEO and the SVP, Head of People the authority to grant equity awards, including annual
LTI awards, to eligible employees (other than the CEO, the SVP, Head of People, and persons subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act), provided the total awards remain within specified limits and subject to terms and conditions approved by
the HRCC. In addition, on a quarterly basis, the HRCC reviews the shares granted from this award budget.
Equity Programs
We consider share ownership a key component in our compensation programs because it aligns the goals of our
employees with those of our shareholders. Through the LTI program, our most senior leaders are eligible for annual equity
awards under the Clarivate Amended and Restated 2019 Incentive Award Plan. Our key equity programs include LTI for
NEOs and senior management, which consists of PSUs and RSUs.
As discussed above, PSUs are granted to our most senior leaders, thereby placing a larger percentage of their
compensation “at risk.”
The following is the mix of performance and time-based equity awarded through our annual LTI program. See footnotes to
the “2025 NEO Equity Awards” table below for a description of equity granted outside of the annual equity cycle.

RSUs vest ratably over three years, with one-third of the award vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant
date. PSUs cliff vest at the end of a three-year period, subject to achievement of performance measures and continued
employment. The 2023, 2024, and 2025 PSU awards have one three-year measurement period, with performance
achievement adjusted in accordance with our three-year relative TSR modifier.

The HRCC approved adjustments to both our Adjusted diluted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA results for the 2023 – 2025
period to reflect divestitures and disposals that occurred during the performance period, as contemplated by the plan.
Based on 2023-2025 financial results after these adjustments, actual performance versus the performance goals was
40.625% of target relative to the 2023 awards. Our three-year TSR performance (2023 – 2025) was less than the 25th
percentile of the S&P 500 and therefore modifies the overall performance achievement by 0.8x, resulting in a final
performance achievement at 32.5% of target for the 2023 awards.

Retirement, Health, and Welfare Benefits
We sponsor a qualified defined contribution plan for all U.S. employees, including our U.S.-based NEOs. In addition, we
sponsor a qualified defined contribution plan for U.K. employees, including our U.K.-based NEOs. Other than the qualified
plans described above, we do not provide any other pension plan, supplemental retirement plan, or deferred
compensation plan to our NEOs. We do provide company matches to employee contributions to qualified retirement
plans, and these are reported as All Other Compensation in the 2025 Summary Compensation Table.
We also provide NEOs with life and medical insurance and other benefits generally available to all employees. The only
perquisite we provide our NEOs is reimbursement for an annual executive physical, not to exceed $5,000 in any given
year. We do not provide a gross-up on taxes paid by NEOs in connection with such reimbursement.
Share Ownership Guidelines
We have adopted the following share ownership guidelines for our non-employee compensated directors, CEO, executive

Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
Insider Trading Policy
We have adopted an insider trading policy which governs the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of our securities by
directors, officers, employees, and other covered persons that we believe is reasonably designed to promote compliance
with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and NYSE listing standards. A copy of our insider trading policy is filed as
Exhibit 19.1 to the Annual Report.
Our insider trading policy prohibits officers, directors, employees, and consultants of the Company from trading while in
possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company. We impose quarterly trading blackouts applicable to
certain designated employees who may have access to inside information prior to the release of earnings, and we require
all executive officers and other designated insider employees to pre-clear any transactions with the Company before
trading in the Company’s shares.
No Hedging Policy
Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions allow an individual to lock in much of the value of their ordinary
shares, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the ordinary shares. These transactions
allow the continued ownership of the covered securities but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that
occurs, the individual entering into the transaction may no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other
shareholders.
Our insider trading policy prohibits directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants from entering into certain
forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts.
No Pledging Policy
We have a policy that prohibits our directors, executive officers, employees, and consultants from pledging the Company’s
securities as collateral to secure loans or otherwise. This includes a prohibition on holding the Company’s securities in a
margin account, which would allow the director or executive officer to borrow against their holdings to buy securities.
Risk Assessment and Mitigation of Compensation Policies and Practices
The Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the Company’s ongoing assessment and management of
material risks impacting our business. The HRCC oversees compensation risk management by participating in the
creation and approval of compensation elements, programs, and performance metrics that encourage an appropriate level
of risk taking consistent with our business strategy.
The HRCC has reviewed our incentive compensation program, taken into account the concept of risk as it relates to our
compensation program, considered various mitigating factors, and reviewed each of these items with its independent
compensation consultant. In addition, Pay Governance conducted an independent risk assessment of our executive
compensation program and determined that our compensation program does not create risks that are reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on our business. Based on these reviews and discussions, among other factors considered
by the HRCC, the HRCC believes that our compensation program is structured to minimize the risk of material adverse
effects on our business.
We established short-term and long-term incentive plans that include a mix of performance metrics that align with our
overall corporate goals and strategy and do not encourage excessive risk taking in order to meet one particular goal. As
noted above in “Good Governance Practices,” we have share ownership guidelines and prohibitions against hedging and
pledging of our securities.
Clawback Policies
We maintain an executive compensation recoupment policy intended to comply with the requirements of Section 10D of
the Exchange Act and the rules of the NYSE, under which the HRCC must recover certain excess incentive-based
compensation paid to executive officers in the event of a restatement of our financial statements due to our material
noncompliance with any financial reporting required under U.S. federal securities laws.
In addition, we have adopted a detrimental conduct compensation recoupment policy under which the HRCC may recover
compensation, including time-based equity awards, from (i) any current or former CEO of the Company, (ii) any individual
who, at any time, was designated as an “officer” of the Company as defined under Rule 16a-1(f), and (iii) any current or
former employee of the Company who at any time during his or her employment was a member of our Executive
40
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
Leadership Team. The potential recovery period is the three-year period preceding the date of certain detrimental conduct,
including conduct such as willful acts that injure the reputation, business, or any business relationship of the Company,
indictment or conviction of a crime, violations of any non-compete, non-solicitation, or confidentiality covenant, and
violations of any material Company policies. A copy of our executive compensation recoupment policy is filed as Exhibit 97
to the Annual Report.
Impact of Accounting and Tax Treatment
The HRCC annually reviews and considers the deductibility of the compensation paid to our executive officers, including
each of the NEOs. The HRCC considers the accounting and tax treatment to Clarivate and the NEOs in its decision-
making process. We strive to ensure that there are no significant negative accounting or tax implications due to the design
of our compensation programs; however, we will base our decisions on what we believe is necessary and appropriate to
further the growth of our Company, align with our shareholders’ interests, and provide appropriate pay for performance.

(1)Salary earned for Mr. Mourad is for the period of hire date through the end of 2025 and salary earned for Ms. Margolin is for the period she was
employed during 2025.
(2)Amounts shown are the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs granted in 2025 under our long-term incentive program as described
above under “2025 Long-Term Incentive Program,” computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of any estimated
forfeitures. Information about the assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the stock can be found in our Annual Report on Form
10-K under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies — Share-based Compensation” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 11: Share-based Compensation.”
PSUs are reported at 100% of target performance, which was the most probable outcome of their performance conditions as of their grant date.
These amounts do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that may be realized by the NEOs. At the maximum performance level of 200%,
the grant date fair value of the PSUs would be as follows: Mr. Shem Tov, $6,799,029; Mr. Collins, $2,832,926; Mr. Veinstein, $2,266,337; Mr. Levy,
$2,266,337; and Mr. Samson, $2,266,337. The grant date fair value of the PSUs is calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation, which takes into
consideration the probability of the PSUs paying out at different levels.
The PSU grants represent all of the PSUs awarded for 2025. Since performance goals for the entire performance period of the 2025 awards were
established and approved by the HRCC in 2025, these are considered granted for accounting purposes in 2025.
Mr. Samson’s and Ms. Margolin’s grant value includes $1,291,222 and $1,757,845, respectively, in incremental fair value resulting from
modifications of their equity awards pursuant to the terms of their respective separation agreements. In accordance with the terms of her separation
agreement, Ms. Margolin was not entitled to receive equity awards in 2025.
(3)Represents annual incentive payments under our AIP that were paid in March 2026 for 2025 performance. Mr. Mourad was eligible for a pro rata
payment of 2025 AIP. Under the terms of their respective separation agreements, Mr. Samson was ineligible to receive a payment under the 2025
AIP and Ms. Margolin was eligible for a pro rata payment of 2025 AIP assuming target performance.

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with our current CEO and each of our other NEOs. These
employment agreements establish each NEO’s employment terms and provide a description of the compensation
elements and benefits to which each NEO is entitled. None of the employment agreements provide for severance upon a
voluntary termination of employment, nor do they provide for single-trigger change-in-control payments.
The employment agreements provide each executive with an annual base salary to be reviewed at the discretion of
management and the HRCC and adjusted depending on performance. In addition, each executive is eligible to participate
in the AIP and is entitled to participate in employee benefit plans, programs, and arrangements customarily provided to
our executives. The employment agreements with Messrs. Collins, Levy, and Mourad do not constitute a contract of
employment and do not entitle them to employment for any specified period, and therefore, their employment is
considered “at will.” The employment agreements with Messrs. Shem Tov and Veinstein constitute an Israeli contract of
employment. The employment agreement with Ms. Margolin did not constitute a contract of employment and did not
entitle her to employment for any specified period, and therefore, her employment was considered “at will.” The
employment agreement with Mr. Samson constituted a U.K. contract of employment.
Under the terms of their employment agreements or separate restrictive covenant agreements, all of our NEOs (including
Ms. Margolin and Mr. Samson) are subject to perpetual confidentiality and intellectual property provisions and restrictive
covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of employees, customers, and suppliers for 12 months post-
termination, whether voluntary or involuntary.
On June 30, 2021, the Company adopted the Executive Severance Plan, which it amended and restated on March 23,
2026 (as amended and restated, the “ESP”). Pursuant to the ESP, each of our NEOs are eligible to receive severance
benefits upon an involuntary termination without cause (including enhanced severance benefits in connection with an
involuntary termination or resignation for good reason following a change in control). While each of our NEOs is eligible to
receive severance benefits pursuant to the terms of their employment agreement, the ESP provides that, in order to
receive benefits under the ESP, the eligible executive cannot receive benefits under another severance agreement.
Payment of severance under the ESP and each NEO’s employment agreement is contingent upon the executive entering
into a release of claims with the Company. There is no eligibility for severance benefits under the employment agreements
or the ESP if the applicable executive voluntarily resigns or the Company terminates him for cause.
The following describes, for our current CEO and other NEOs (other than Ms. Margolin and Mr. Samson), the benefits that
would be received under their respective employment agreements or the ESP in various termination circumstances:
vPursuant to the ESP, in the event of an involuntary termination without cause, the NEOs are entitled to severance in
the amount of 18 months of annual base salary, 1.5 times AIP target, and, to the extent the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act (“COBRA”) applies, 18 months of continued benefits coverage relative to medical, dental,
and vision plans. Any unvested RSUs granted prior to April 1, 2027 become vested to the extent the RSUs would
have otherwise vested had the NEOs’ employment continued over the 18-month period following the NEOs’
termination date. Any unvested RSUs granted on or after April 1, 2027 become vested in a pro-rated amount
calculated by dividing the number of full months employed between the grant date and the termination date by the
total vesting period. All outstanding PSUs will be forfeited. The expiration date of any outstanding stock options will be
extended to two years from December 31 of the year the NEO is terminated.
vIn the event of an involuntary termination without cause or a resignation for good reason that is within 12 months
following a Change in Control, pursuant to the ESP, the NEOs are entitled to severance in the amount of 24 months of
annual base salary, 2 times AIP target and, if COBRA applies, 24 months of continued benefits coverage relative to
medical, dental, and vision plans. The expiration date of any outstanding stock options will be extended to two years
from December 31 of the year the NEO is terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the NEOs’ current award agreements,
any unvested RSUs and PSUs shall immediately vest (with PSUs vesting at the performance level determined by the
Board).
vThe cash severance amount due under the ESP is paid in accordance with the terms of the ESP.
vIn the event of termination due to death or disability, the NEOs are not entitled to any severance or continuation of
benefits under their respective employment agreements or the ESP. Pursuant to the terms of the NEOs’ current award
agreements, any unvested RSUs and PSUs shall immediately vest, with PSUs deemed earned at target.

2025 NEO Changes
On September 8, 2025, Mr. Mourad joined the Company as President of our Intellectual Property segment. Mr. Mourad’s
employment agreement provides for initial annual base salary of $600,000 and a target annual cash bonus opportunity
equal to 100% of his annual base salary under the AIP, subject to the terms and conditions of the AIP (which was prorated
for 2025 based on his service during 2025). Under his employment agreement, Mr. Mourad also received a sign-on RSU
equity grant in 2025 with a grant date fair market value of $2.25 million, which will vest ratably over three years on each of
the first three anniversaries of the grant date. In the event Mr. Mourad’s employment is terminated for cause, he must pay
the Company the cash value of any portion of the sign-on equity grant that has vested as of the termination date, and any
unvested portion of the sign-on equity grant as of the termination date will be cancelled. Mr. Mourad’s target annual long-
term equity incentive compensation opportunity for 2026 will be provided in the form of 50% RSUs and 50% PSUs, with a
combined grant date value equal to at least $1.6 million. Thereafter, equity awards will be established by the Board in its
discretion.
On July 25, 2025, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Gordon Samson, former President, Intellectual
Property. Mr. Samson ceased to be an executive officer on September 7, 2025 and departed the Company on December
31, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of his separation agreement, in exchange for his execution of a release of claims and
continued compliance with his restrictive covenant obligations, Mr. Samson received (i) lump-sum cash payments equal to
$1,799,853 (using a GBP:USD exchange rate of 1:1.234), (ii) accelerated vesting of any unvested RSUs that would have
vested within 18 months of his termination date, totaling 285,038 shares (which, based on our closing share price on
December 31, 2025, had a value of $952,027), and (iii) if applicable, a tax equalization payment to account for days of
work in the United Kingdom.
On January 18, 2025, the Company entered into a separation agreement with Melanie Margolin, Executive Vice President
and Chief Administrative and Legal Officer. Ms. Margolin ceased to be an executive officer on February 28, 2025 and
departed the Company on March 21, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of her separation agreement, in exchange for her
execution of a release of claims and continued compliance with her restrictive covenant obligations, Ms. Margolin received
(i) lump-sum cash payments equal to $1,875,000, (ii) a lump-sum payment of $40,000 representing reimbursement for the
average monthly cost of COBRA for 18 months, (iii) a prorated target annual bonus for 2025 in the amount of $136,986,
(iv) reimbursement of legal fees related to the separation agreement up to $15,000, (v) accelerated vesting of any
unvested RSUs that would have vested within 18 months of her termination date, totaling 429,791 shares (which, based
on our closing share price on March 21, 2025, had a value of $1,757,845), and (vi) if applicable, a tax equalization
payment to account for any incremental tax liability that is not offset by a U.S. foreign tax credit for Ms. Margolin’s work in
the United Kingdom.
Both of these separation agreements are consistent with the benefits provided under the ESP.

CEO PAY RATIO
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of
the annual total compensation of our employees (other than our CEO) and the annual total compensation of our CEO, Mr.
Shem Tov, on December 31, 2025 (the “Measurement Date”).
For 2025, our last completed fiscal year:
vThe annual total compensation of our median employee was $46,275.
vThe annual total compensation of our CEO, as annualized for purposes of the pay ratio and discussed below, was
$8,350,984.
Based on this information for 2025, the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to that of our median employee
is approximately 180:1. We believe our CEO pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with
Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
To identify the median employee, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, the
methodology and the material assumptions and adjustments that we used were as follows:
As of the Measurement Date, our employee population for purposes of calculating our pay comprised 12,340
employees globally, with approximately 19% of our employee population located in the United States and 81%
located outside the United States.
We included all full-time and part-time employees worldwide, excluding our CEO, except that, as permitted under
the SEC rules, we utilized the de minimis exemption to exclude 299 employees, approximately 2.4% of our
employee population, in the following countries:
Azerbaijan (1)
Chile (9)
Colombia (11)
Egypt (1)
Hungary (5)
Malaysia (263)
Philippines (3)
South Africa (4)
Ukraine (1)
Uzbekistan (1)
To identify the median employee from our employee population, we relied on the base pay plus target bonus of
our employees, as reported in our centralized human resource system on the Measurement Date, as these are
the primary compensation elements for most of our employees. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in
identifying the median employee. 
Using this methodology, we determined that the median employee was a full-time worker in the United Kingdom. 
With respect to the annual total compensation of the median employee, we calculated the employee’s
compensation for 2025 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c) of Regulation S-K, resulting in an
annual total compensation of $46,275.
SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total
compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable
estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio
reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different
employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and
assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Audit Committee of the Board has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as the Company’s independent
registered public accountants to audit our books, records, and accounts and those of our subsidiaries for the fiscal year
2026. The Board has endorsed this appointment.
Ratification of the selection of PwC by shareholders is not required by law and is being sought on a non-binding and
advisory basis. However, as a matter of good corporate practice, such selection is being submitted to the shareholders for
ratification at the Annual Meeting. If the shareholders do not ratify the selection, the Board and the Audit Committee will
reconsider whether to retain PwC, but may, in their discretion, retain PwC. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit
Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such change
would be in the best interests of Clarivate and its shareholders.
PwC has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements and those of our predecessor since 2016.
Representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they
desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate shareholder questions.
Audit, Audit-Related, and Tax Fees
In connection with the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, we
entered into an engagement letter with PwC that sets forth the terms by which PwC performed audit services for us.
Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for us by PwC for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024,
respectively, were as follows:

Audit Fees. Audit fees consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our consolidated financial
statements, the statutory audit of our subsidiaries, the review of our interim consolidated financial statements, and other
services that are normally provided by PwC in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and
attestation services, except those not required by statute or regulation.
Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably
related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are not reported
under “Audit Fees.” These services may include employee benefit plan audits, due diligence services related to
acquisitions and divestitures, auditing work in proposed transactions, attestation services that are not required by
regulation or statute, and consultations regarding financial accounting or reporting standards. For 2025, all audit-related
fees were for services associated with attestation services not required by regulation or statute.
Tax Fees. Tax fees consist of tax compliance consultants, preparation of tax reports, and other tax services.
All Other Fees. All other fees for 2025 and 2024 consisted of license fees for utilization of technical databases.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has implemented pre-approval policies and procedures related to the provision of audit and non-
audit services by PwC. Under these procedures, the Audit Committee pre-approves both the type of services to be
provided by PwC and the estimated fees related to these services.
During the approval process, the Audit Committee considers the impact of the types of services and the related fees on
the independence of the registered public accountants. The services and fees must be deemed compatible with the
maintenance of such accountants’ independence, including compliance with rules and regulations of the SEC, the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board, and the NYSE.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Clarivate 2026 Proxy Statement
The Audit Committee has delegated authority to pre-approve services performed by PwC to the chair of the Audit
Committee for services of up to $1,000,000, with any approvals pursuant to such delegated authority regularly reported to
the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has not delegated any of its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed
by PwC to management. Throughout the year, the Audit Committee will review any revisions to the estimates of audit and
non-audit fees initially approved.
The text of the resolution with respect to Proposal 3 (which is proposed as an
ordinary resolution) is as follows:
RESOLVED, that the shareholders of the Company hereby reappoint PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s
auditors, ratify their appointment as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year 2026 on
a non-binding and advisory basis, and authorize the Board of Directors, acting through its Audit Committee, to determine
the fees to be paid to the auditors.”
Vote Required and Recommendation
The appointment of PwC is ratified if approved by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the shareholders
entitled to vote in person or represented by proxy. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” this
Proposal 3 regarding the ratification of PwC as our independent registered public accountants. In the event the
appointment of PwC is not ratified, the Audit Committee will review its future selection of our independent registered public
accountants.
With respect to Proposal 3, you may instruct to vote “FOR” or “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on, such proposal. If
you “ABSTAIN” from voting, your vote is not considered a vote cast and will have no effect for such proposal. If you do not
provide your broker or other nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares with respect to Proposal 3, your broker
or nominee will be entitled to cast discretionary votes on Proposal 3 as such proposal is a “routine” matter.

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE REAPPOINTMENT OF
PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP AS OUR AUDITORS, RATIFY THEIR APPOINTMENT AS OUR
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2026 ON A NON-
BINDING AND ADVISORY BASIS, AND AUTHORIZE THE BOARD, ACTING THROUGH ITS AUDIT
COMMITTEE, TO DETERMINE THE FEES TO BE PAID TO THE AUDITORS.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The following report of the Audit Committee does not constitute “soliciting material” and
shall not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing by Clarivate
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board in fulfilling its legal and fiduciary obligations in matters involving the
Company’s accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control, and legal compliance functions. It does so by
approving the services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), the Company’s independent registered
public accountants, and reviewing their reports regarding the Company’s accounting practices and systems of internal
controls. The Audit Committee also oversees the performance of the Company’s internal audit function.
The Committee’s responsibilities are stated in a written charter adopted by the Board.
The Company’s management is responsible for preparing the Company’s financial statements, and PwC is responsible for
auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the conduct of these activities by
the Company’s management and PwC.
To fulfill its responsibility, the Audit Committee has met regularly and held discussions with management, with the
Company’s internal auditors, and with PwC. It has discussed with PwC the applicable requirements of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board and the SEC. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the
Company’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with
management and PwC.
The Audit Committee has also discussed and confirmed with PwC its independence from the Company and has received
from PwC all written disclosures and correspondence required by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In
addition, the Audit Committee has evaluated the non-audit services provided by PwC to the Company and has concluded
that these do not impair PwC’s independence.
The Audit Committee has discussed with internal accountants, internal auditors, and PwC, with and without management
present, its evaluations of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and the overall quality of the Company’s
financial reporting.
Based on the reviews and discussions described above, the Audit Committee approved the audited consolidated financial
statements for fiscal year 2025 and recommended to the Board their inclusion in the Annual Report.
Respectfully submitted by the Audit Committee of the Board:
Kenneth Cornick, Chair

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Review and Approval of Related Person Transactions
We follow processes and policies, including our written policy on related person transactions, that are designed to detect
and, if appropriate, approve and disclose any transaction that would constitute a “related person transaction” under SEC
rules. Such transactions would include material transactions and transactions involving an amount exceeding $120,000 in
which any Clarivate directors, nominees for director, executive officers, greater than five percent shareholders or any of
their respective immediate family members or affiliates, or the employers of any of them, has a direct or indirect material
interest.
The Board has delegated the responsibility for reviewing related person transactions to the Audit Committee. To support
this process, each year we solicit internal disclosure of any transactions between Clarivate and its directors and officers,
their immediate family members, and their affiliated entities and employers, including the nature of each transaction and
the amount involved.
The Audit Committee annually reviews and evaluates such information for each director as part of its assessment of each
director’s independence.
In addition, all directors, officers, and employees of Clarivate are governed by the Clarivate Code of Conduct, which
requires individuals to act in the best interest of Clarivate and avoid or seek approval for conflicts of interest. Individuals
are responsible for identifying conflicts of interest as soon as they arise and contacting our compliance team prior to
engaging in the conduct if they are unsure whether such relationship or transaction poses a conflict.
If the Audit Committee were presented with a proposed related person transaction, it would evaluate the relevant facts and
circumstances to determine whether to approve it. Factors include the terms of the transaction relative to the terms that
could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated person, the extent of the related person’s interest in the
transaction, the conflicts of interest (if any), and the provisions of the Clarivate Code of Conduct and whether the
transaction meets any of the criteria for pre-approval.
Transactions Involving Related Persons
Assumed Finance Lease
On December 1, 2021, Clarivate completed the acquisition of ProQuest from CIG and certain other equity holders. As part
of the acquisition, Clarivate assumed a finance lease in which CIG is the lessor. Mr. Snyder serves as Chief Executive
Officer of CIG. For the year ended December 31, 2025, Clarivate recognized interest expense of $2.0 million and
amortization expense for the finance lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset of $0.5 million. The finance lease ROU asset of $8.0
million is shown on Clarivate’s financial statements, and the corresponding lease liability of $28.1 million is treated as
indebtedness.
Sublease
CIG is a subtenant for certain office space leased by Clarivate through June 2, 2026, with annual renewals through March
31, 2029 unless not renewed by either party. CIG pays Clarivate a monthly subtenancy fee of $22,000.
Customer and Vendor Arrangements
Mr. Snyder is affiliated with a Clarivate customer and vendor. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company
recognized revenues of $0.5 million and incurred expenses of $4.9 million related to such customer and vendor
arrangement.
Exor is affiliated with a Clarivate customer and with a Clarivate vendor. In the aggregate, during the year ended December
31, 2025, the Company recognized revenues of $3.0 million and incurred expenses of $3.8 million related to such
customer and vendor arrangements.
Reimbursement of Tax Adviser Fees
In connection with an IRS examination of ProQuest’s tax returns, CIG engaged its tax adviser to provide the Company
with certain historical tax information relating to ProQuest that the Company requires to effectively manage the tax
examination. The Company agreed to pay for the expenses of CIG’s tax adviser related to the provision of such
information, paid directly to the tax adviser. The Company currently expects the expense reimbursement to CIG’s tax
adviser to be up to $0.4 million.

of the proposal in writing to the General Counsel at the principal executive offices of Clarivate and complies with the
requirements of the Articles, which are summarized below.
A proposal may be properly brought before an annual general meeting by any shareholder of the Company who is a

record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such annual general meeting, and who complies with
the notice and other procedures set forth in the Articles, which are summarized below. Please see the Articles for the full

any applicable laws and rules.
To be timely, such shareholder’s notice must be delivered to the General Counsel at the principal executive offices of the
Company no earlier than January 14, 2027, and no later than February 13, 2027, unless the 2027 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders occurs on a date more than 30 days earlier or later than the 2026 Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders. In that case, the Board will determine a date that is a reasonable period prior to the 2027 Annual General
Meeting of Shareholders by which the shareholder’s notice must be delivered and publicize that date in a filing with the
SEC or via press release at least 14 days prior to the date set by the Board.
To be in proper written form, in summary, a shareholder’s notice to the Company must set forth as to such matter such
shareholder proposes to bring before the annual general meeting, among other things:

APPENDIX A
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We use non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our business and trends, measure performance, prepare financial
projections, and make strategic decisions. Although we believe these measures may be similarly useful to investors in
evaluating our business, these measures are not a substitute for GAAP financial measures or disclosures. Reconciliations
of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided below.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a basis for evaluating our ongoing operating performance, and we believe it is useful for
investors to understand the underlying trends of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA represents Net income (loss) before the
Provision (benefit) for income taxes, Depreciation and amortization, and Interest expense, net, adjusted to exclude
acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, share-based compensation, restructuring expenses, impairments,
the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments on financial instruments, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses,
legal settlements, and other items that are included in Net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative
of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Revenues.
Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an inference that our
future results will be unaffected by any of the adjusted items, or that our projections and estimates will be realized in their
entirety or at all. In addition, because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of
liquidity or discretionary cash available to us to fund our cash needs, including investing in the growth of our business and
meeting our obligations.
The following table presents our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the years ended
December 31, 2025 and 2024, and reconciles these non-GAAP measures to our Net income (loss) and Net income (loss)
margin for the same periods:

Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted EPS
Adjusted net income represents Net income (loss), adjusted to exclude amortization related to acquired intangible assets,
share-based compensation, impairments, restructuring expenses, the impact of certain non-cash fair value adjustments
on financial instruments, acquisition and/or disposal-related transaction costs, unrealized foreign currency gains/losses,
legal settlements, and other items that are included in net income (loss) for the period that we do not consider indicative of
our ongoing operating performance and the associated income tax impact of such adjustments.
Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated by dividing Adjusted net income by Adjusted diluted weighted average shares. The
Adjusted diluted weighted average shares calculation assumes that all instruments in the calculation are dilutive.

Free cash flow
We use Free cash flow in our operational and financial decision-making and believe it is useful to investors because
similar measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, ratings agencies, and other interested parties to
measure the ability of a company to service its debt. Our presentation of Free cash flow should not be considered as a
measure of liquidity or discretionary cash available to us to fund our cash needs, including investing in the growth of our
business and meeting our obligations.
We define Free cash flow as Net cash provided by operating activities less Capital expenditures.
The following table reconciles our non-GAAP Free cash flow measure to Net cash provided by operating activities for the
years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:
