Forrester Research Announces 7% Increase In Quarterly Dividend

And Increase In Share Repurchase Authorization To $150 Million

Cambridge, Mass., February 13, 2013. . . Forrester Research, Inc. (Nasdaq: FORR) today announced that its board of directors has authorized an increase to its regular quarterly cash dividend to $0.15 per share. The next quarterly dividend is payable on March 20, 2013, to shareholders of record on March 6, 2013. The company also announced that its board of directors authorized a $50 million increase in the company’s stock repurchase program, bringing the total available share repurchase authorization to approximately $150 million. The company intends to engage an investment banker to assist it in exploring alternative means to accelerate the company’s share repurchase program. As of December 31, 2012, Forrester had approximately 22.3 million shares outstanding.
