Prospectus excerpt:  This is a public offering of 5.25% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares, no par value (the “convertible preferred shares”), of Clarivate Plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Jersey, Channel Islands. Concurrently with this offering of convertible preferred shares and pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement, we are offering to the public 28,846,154 ordinary shares and certain selling shareholders are offering to the public 9,615,384 ordinary shares (the “concurrent offering”). This offering is not contingent upon closing of the concurrent offering, or vice versa. The concurrent offering is being made by means of a separate prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, and nothing contained in this prospectus supplement shall constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the concurrent offering. See “Concurrent Offering.” We intend to use our net proceeds from this offering and the concurrent offering to finance a portion of the purchase price for the ProQuest acquisition, which we announced on May 17, 2021. This offering and the concurrent offering are not contingent on consummation of the ProQuest acquisition and will close prior to consummation of the ProQuest acquisition. The ProQuest acquisition may be delayed or may not occur. If the ProQuest acquisition is not consummated, we intend to use the net proceeds received by us from the offerings for general corporate purposes, which may, at our option, include redemption of the convertible preferred shares.
