We are also entering into a Senior Credit Facilities Agreement (as defined herein) providing for new Senior Credit
Facilities (as defined herein) that will be borrowed by us and guaranteed by the same entities that will guarantee the Notes,
which will be secured by the same collateral that secures the Notes and the Guarantees. See "Summary--Financing."
For a description of the intended use of the gross proceeds from this offering see, "Use of Proceeds."
On the Completion Date (as defined herein), the Notes will be guaranteed on a senior basis by the Completion
Date Guarantors (as defined herein). Within 90 days from the Escrow Release Date (as defined herein), the Notes will be
guaranteed on a senior basis by the Post-Completion Date Guarantors (as defined herein, and, together with the Completion
Date Guarantors, the "Guarantors" and the guarantees of such entities, the "Guarantees") and in the future may be
guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries in the circumstances described in "Description of Notes--Brief Description of the
Structure and Ranking of the Notes and the Guarantees--The Guarantees."
On the Issue Date, the Notes will be secured by first-ranking security interests over the Escrow Collateral (as
defined herein). On or prior to the Completion Date, the Notes will be secured by first-ranking security interests over the
Completion Date Collateral (as defined herein). Within 90 days from the Escrow Release Date, the Notes will be secured,
by first-ranking security interests over the Post-Completion Date Collateral (as defined herein) (and together with the
Escrow Collateral and the Completion Date Collateral, the "Collateral"). The Shared Collateral (as defined herein) will
also secure obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities on an equal and ratable, first priority basis.
The Notes will be the senior obligations of the Issuer, ranking pari passu in right of payment with any existing
and future indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, including debt incurred under
the Senior Credit Facilities and certain hedging obligations, if any, and senior in right of payment to any future indebtedness
of the Issuer that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Guarantees will be senior obligations of
the Guarantors, ranking pari passu in right of payment with any existing and future indebtedness that is not expressly
subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantees, including debt incurred under the Senior Credit Facilities and certain
hedging obligations, if any, and senior in right of payment to any future obligations of the Guarantors that is expressly
subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantees. The Notes and the Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all
of the existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer and the Guarantors that is secured by property or assets that do not
also secure the Notes and the Guarantees, to the extent of the value of such property and assets securing such indebtedness.
The Notes and Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future obligations and other liabilities
(including trade payables) of our subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.

Operations of eCG," "Industry" and "Business" includes extracts from information and data, including industry and market

The Notes were delivered against payment on November 5, 2020, which was ten business days following the date
of the pricing of the Notes (such settlement being referred to as "T+10"). Because trades in the secondary market generally
settle in two business days, purchasers who traded Notes on the date of pricing or the next succeeding seven business days
were required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially settled T+10, to specify alternative settlement arrangements at
the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement.
IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFERING, CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS LIMITED (THE
"STABILIZING MANAGER") OR ONE OR MORE OF ITS AFFILIATES (OR PERSONS ACTING ON BEHALF OF

Canada
With respect to purchasers resident in any jurisdiction of Canada, the Notes may only be sold to purchasers who
are (i) purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing the Notes as principal in accordance with applicable Canadian securities
laws, (ii) an "accredited investor," as defined in National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1)
of the Securities Act (Ontario) and (iii) a "permitted client," as defined in National Instrument 31-103 Registration
Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the Notes must be made in accordance with
an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.
Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for
rescission or damages if this offering memorandum (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation,
provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by,
and subject to limitations and defenses under, the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The
purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for
particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
Canadian purchasers are advised that this offering memorandum has been prepared in reliance on section 3A.3
(or, in the case of securities issued or guaranteed by the government of a non-Canadian jurisdiction, section 3A.4) of
National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts ("NI 33-105"). This offering memorandum is exempt from the
requirement that the Issuer and the Initial Purchasers provide purchasers with certain disclosure requirements of NI 33-105
regarding underwriter conflicts of interest in connection with this offering.
Upon receipt of this offering memorandum, each Canadian purchaser hereby confirms that it has expressly
requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the notes (including for greater certainty any
purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only. Par la réception de cette notice d'offre,
chaque investisseur canadien confirme par les présentes qu'il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou
se rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus
de certitude, toute confirmation d'achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.
European Economic Area
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or in the United Kingdom ("UK").
For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of
Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended or superseded, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of
Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129
(as amended or superseded, the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently, no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or superseded, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or
selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or the UK may be unlawful under
the PRIIPs Regulation. This offering memorandum has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in any member
state of the EEA or the UK will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement
to publish a prospectus for offers of the Notes. This offering memorandum is not a prospectus for the purposes of the
Prospectus Regulation.
References to Regulations or Directives include, in relation to the UK, those Regulations or Directives as they
form part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 or have been implemented in UK
domestic law, as appropriate.
MiFID II product governance / professional investors and ECPs only target market--Solely for the purposes
of the manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the
conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined
in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into
consideration the manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer's
target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
