TABLE OF CONTENTS
Introductory Statement
This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the
Schedule TO) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on November 19, 2007,
relating to our offer (the Offer) to amend or replace certain options defined as Eligible
Options in the Offer to Amend or Replace Eligible Options (the Offer to Amend or Replace)
attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) held by current employees of Forrester Research,
Inc. (the Company) subject to income taxation in the United States. Except as amended and
supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on November 20, 2007 and this Amendment No. 2,
all of the terms of the Offer and all disclosure set forth in the Schedule TO and the exhibits
thereto remain unchanged and are incorporated herein by reference to this Amendment No 2.
This Amendment No. 2 is filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(4)
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
ITEM
4. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION.
Item 4(a) of the Schedule TO is hereby amended by adding the following sentences:
The Offer expired at Midnight, Eastern Time, on December 17, 2007. Pursuant to the Offer, the
Company has amended outstanding Eligible Options to purchase approximately 202,489 shares of
the Companys common stock to increase the exercise price of each such option to the lower of
(i) the fair market value per share of the Companys common stock on the adjusted grant date,
as determined for accounting purposes, and (ii) $27.17, the closing stock price per share on
December 18, 2007, the date of amendment. In addition, the participants whose Eligible
Options have been so amended are now eligible to receive special cash bonuses in the aggregate
amount of approximately $428,520 in exchange for options surrendered for amendment in
accordance with the terms of the Offer.
The Company also canceled tendered Eligible Options to purchase approximately 7,500 shares of
the Companys common stock because the Adjusted Exercise Price (as defined in the Offer to
Amend or Replace) would have been the same as or lower than the current exercise price. In
replacement of each such canceled option, the Company immediately granted a new option with
the same exercise price as the canceled option, but with a new grant date of December 18,
2007.
SIGNATURE
After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set
forth in this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule TO is true, complete and correct.
