Introductory Note

On July 26, 2007, Inforte Corp. (the “Company”) completed its merger (the “Merger”) with BDEC Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Business&Decision North America Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 13, 2007, by and among Merger Sub, Parent and the Company (the “Merger Agreement”).

On July 26, 2007, the Company notified the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) that the Merger was consummated, pursuant to which holders of the Company’s common stock (other than holders of shares held in the Company’s treasury or owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as well as shares held by stockholders who properly demanded statutory appraisal rights) became entitled to receive $4.25 per share in cash, without interest, for each share of the Company’s common stock. The Company requested that its common stock be suspended from NASDAQ, effective at the close of market on July 26, 2007.

On July 26, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares held in the Company’s treasury or owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as well as shares held by stockholders who properly demanded statutory appraisal rights) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive $4.25 per share in cash, without interest.

The information set forth in the “Introductory Note” to this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Item 3.03 is incorporated herein by reference. On July 26, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Parent consummated the acquisition of the Company through the Merger of the Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the Company is 100% owned by Parent.

The aggregate purchase price paid for all of the shares of common stock of the Company was approximately $49,400,000. The aggregate purchase price and related fees and expenses were funded pursuant to loans obtained by Business & Decision S.A., the sole stockholder of Parent, from a syndicate of bankers, the agent for which, is Crédit Industrial Commercial.
