Arc, the global events, data, and media platform, announced today it
has acquired Incisive Media’s financial services and business sustainability portfolios. These
portfolios expand Arc’s sector diversity across the UK market with the addition of leading
financial services and business sustainability brands such as Investment Week, Professional
Pensions, Professional Adviser, and BusinessGreen.

The Channel Company, a leading IT-channel focused B2B marketing company, will acquire
Incisive’s technology portfolio. The acquisition will reunite CRN and CRN UK under the same
company. The technology portfolio also includes the Computing and Channel Partner Insight
brands.

Jonathon Whiteley, CEO of Incisive Media, said: “Following a very successful period of
growth over the last few years, Incisive Media is now ready for its next stage of
development. The global platforms of Arc and The Channel Company offer natural homes
for Incisive Media’s brands and people. Our audience and customer centric approach to
growing and supporting the end markets that we serve fits squarely with the philosophies of
both Arc and The Channel Company. This split allows us to support that growth in a relevant
and focused way. I am excited about the future and look forward to working with Simon and
his team at Arc to take Incisive Media into this next and exciting chapter.”
