Item 1. Security and Issuer This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of MarketWatch.com, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (f/k/a NMP Inc.), ("Company" or "Issuer") with its principal executive office located at 825 Battery Street, San Francisco, CA 94111. The Issuer's Common Stock were acquired by the Reporting Persons as a result of the merger of MarketWatch Media Inc.(f/k/a MarketWatch.com Inc.) and Pinnacor Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer on January 16, 2004 (the "Merger"), pursuant to which, among other things, each share of common stock of MarketWatch Media, Inc. was exchanged for one share of Common Stock of the Company. Item 2. Identity and Background This Statement is being filed by each of the following persons pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"): (i) Pearson plc, a corporation organized under the laws of England & Wales ("Pearson"), and (ii) Pearson International Finance Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of England & Wales and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Pearson ("PIFL") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Pearson is an international media company. PIFL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pearson. The executive officers and directors of Pearson and PIFL, as of May 1, 2004, are set forth on Schedules A and B attached hereto, containing the following information with respect to each such person: (a) Name and Position; (b) Residence or business address; (c) Present principal occupation or employment and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted. During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or any person named in any of Schedules A and B attached hereto has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration The Issuer's Common Stock were acquired by the Reporting Persons as a result of the merger of MarketWatch Media Inc.(f/k/a MarketWatch.com Inc.) and Pinnacor Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer on January 16, 2004 (the "Merger"), pursuant to which, among other things, each share of common stock of MarketWatch Media, Inc. was exchanged for one share of Common Stock of the Company. 4 Item 4. Purposes of Transactions Except set forth in Item 6 below, the Reporting Persons have no current plan or proposal that relates to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, purchase additional Common Stock of the Issuer and may dispose of any and all Common Stock of the Issuer held by them. The information set forth under Item 6 below is incorporated herein by reference. Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a) and (b) PIFL is the beneficial owner of 5,636,814 shares, or approximately 22.5%, of the Issuer's issued and outstanding Common Stock (based on approximately 25,057,910 Common Stock as reported by the Issuer to be issued and outstanding as of May 31, 2004). Pearson, which is the parent company of PIFL, may be deemed also to beneficially own these shares of Common Stock indirectly as a result of its control relationship with PIFL. Any such beneficial ownership would represent the same shared voting and dispositive power exercised by PIFL over the shares. Pearson disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares. (c) None (d) None (e) None Item 6. Contract, Arrangements, Understandings, or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 22, 2003 and amended as of December 15, 2003 (the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Company, MarketWatch Media, Inc. (f/k/a MarketWatch.com, Inc.) ("MarketWatch Media"), Pinnacor Inc. ("Pinnacor"), Maple Merger Sub, Inc. ("Maple Merger Sub") and Pine Merger Sub, Inc. ("Pine Merger Sub"), Maple Merger Sub merged with and into MarketWatch Media (the "MarketWatch Merger") and Pine Merger Sub merged with and into Pinnacor (the "Pinnacor Merger" and together with the MarketWatch Merger, the "Merger"). After the Merger, which closed on January 16, 2004, MarketWatch Media and Pinnacor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer. 5 In connection with the Merger, pursuant to the Voting and Waiver Agreement (the "Voting Agreement") , dated July 22, 2003 and amended as of December 15, 2003, by and among CBS Broadcasting Inc. ("CBSBI"), MarketWatch.com Inc., Pinnacor, Inc. and PIFL, the following agreements were assigned by MarketWatch.com Inc., to Issuer. o The First Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement, was entered into March 23, 2004 and deemed effective as of January 16, 2004, (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), by and among CBSBI, Pearson Overseas Holdings Limited ("POHL")(another subsidiary of Pearson from which PIFL has acquired the shares of the Issuer's Common Stock and as a result succeeded to the interests of POHL in this Stockholders' Agreement), MarketWatch.com, Inc. and NMP, Inc., and assigned to the Issuer as a result of the Merger. The amended and restated Stockholders' Agreement provides that CBSBI and PIFL each has the right to nominate a number of candidates to the Issuer's board of directors based upon the percentage of outstanding voting securities then held by CBSBI and PIFL and a mutual right of first refusal in the event that either party desires to sell any of the Issuer's securities held by it to a third party. In addition, each of CBSBI and PIFL has the right to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock if the Issuer proposes to issue additional securities. If a competitor of CBSBI directly or indirectly acquires more than 30% of the voting power of PIFL or substantially all of PIFL's assets at a time when PIFL beneficially owns at least 10% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock, CBSBI may within sixty days either purchase all of the Issuer's securities held by PIFL or require PIFL to place the securities in a trust, which would then dispose of the securities. At such time PIFL would forfeit its board representation in either event. The description of the First Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement, which is Exhibit 4 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein. o The registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), entered into in January 1999, by CBSBI, MarketWatch.com, Inc. and DBC, pursuant to which CBSBI has certain demand, piggyback and shelf registration rights. This description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, which is Exhibit 5 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein. The description of the Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting and Waiver Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Voting and Waiver Agreement, which are Exhibit 6 and Exhibit 7 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein. Except as described in this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons have any other existing agreement with respect to the Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer. 6 Item 7.
