Equity Purchase Agreement regulatory
"entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with Oxford Economics USA, Inc."
An equity purchase agreement is a legal contract that sets the terms for buying ownership shares in a company, including the number of shares, price, and any conditions that must be met before the sale closes. For investors it matters because it determines how much ownership and control they gain, how the company’s value and share count change, and what protections or obligations each side has—think of it as the detailed bill of sale and ground rules for a stock purchase.
earn-out financial
"may be entitled to receive an earn-out payment of up to $3.0 million"
An earn-out is a deal feature in mergers and acquisitions where part of the purchase price is paid later only if the acquired business meets specific future targets, such as revenue or profit goals. It matters to investors because it shares risk between buyer and seller—similar to paying for a used car only if it reaches promised mileage—affecting projected cash flows, valuation assumptions, and the likelihood of future payouts.
annual recurring revenue financial
"subject to the achievement of certain annual recurring revenue targets in 2026"
Annual recurring revenue is the predictable amount of money a company expects to earn each year from ongoing customer subscriptions or contracts. It helps businesses understand how much steady income they can count on, much like a subscription service that charges customers every month or year. This figure is important because it shows the company's stability and growth potential.
adjusted EBITDA financial
"now expects full-year 2026 revenue of $74 to $76 million and adjusted EBITDA of $8 to $10 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
unaudited pro forma combined financial information financial
"The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026"
senior term loan financial
"related paydown of its senior term loan with proceeds received from the Disposition"
A senior term loan is a company loan that must be repaid on a set schedule and sits near the top of the company’s repayment order, meaning it gets paid before most other debts if the company runs into trouble. Think of it like a mortgage lender getting first dibs on the house proceeds; for investors it affects how risky a company's capital structure is, how much cash is committed to debt service, and how likely lenders are to recover money in a default.

Oxford Economics, Sharpening Focus on Core Policy Business

Transaction Further Simplifies the Core Business, Drives Operating Efficiencies, and

Strengthens the Balance Sheet

FiscalNote Updates Full-Year 2026 Guidance to Reflect the Transaction; Outlook for

Core Policy Business Unchanged

WASHINGTON, D.C. – August 27, 2026 – FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (OTCID: NOTE) (“FiscalNote” or the “Company”), a global leader in AI-driven policy and regulatory intelligence, today announced the successful divestiture of FrontierView, its market intelligence business, to Oxford Economics, the world’s foremost independent economic advisory firm. The transaction sharpens FiscalNote’s focus on its core policy and regulatory intelligence business and its flagship platform, PolicyNote, while simplifying operations and strengthening the Company’s balance sheet.

In connection with the divestiture, FiscalNote is updating the full-year 2026 guidance issued on August 10, 2026 to reflect the removal of FrontierView from its results as of the closing date.

The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the six months ended June 30, 2026 gives pro forma effect to the Disposition and related transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2025.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2026 gives pro forma effect to the Disposition and related transactions as if they were completed on June 30, 2026.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the audited historical financial statements of FiscalNote and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as the disclosures contained in the sections titled “FiscalNote’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 24, 2026.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what FiscalNote’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated.

Description of the Dispositions

Sale of Frontier Strategy Group, LLC

On August 26, 2026, FiscalNote, Inc. (the “Seller”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Oxford Economics USA, Inc. (the “Buyer”), pursuant to which the Seller sold all of the outstanding equity interests of Frontier Strategy Group, LLC to the Buyer for a base purchase price of $7.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “Equity Sale”); the Company received $6.4 million after certain working capital adjustments and payment of transaction expenses. In addition, the Buyer agreed to make potential cash earn-out payments to the Seller in the amount of $3.0 million, less the amount of certain potential retention payments to certain employees of the Company, subject to the achievement of certain annual recurring revenue targets in 2026. $1,055 of the base purchase price was deposited into escrow to satisfy certain potential post-closing purchase price adjustments and indemnification claims.
