Inc. Completes Sale of its Institutional Business
NEW
YORK, Feb. 14, 2019 -- TheStreet, Inc. (Nasdaq: TST), a leading financial news and information company, today announced it has
completed the sale of its institutional business units, The Deal and BoardEx, to Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC ("Euromoney").
The sale, which was initially announced on December 6, 2018, was approved by TheStreet's stockholders on February 12, 2019.

previously announced and in connection with the closing of the sale, TheStreet will now be led by Eric Lundberg as Chief Executive
Officer, who will also continue his role as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Lundberg will also join the Company's Board of
Directors, effective immediately. Margaret de Luna, who has served as President of TheStreet's consumer business, will assume
her new role of President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective immediately.
The

cash on hand, will be distributed to TheStreet's stockholders. The Board is evaluating the various ways to complete this distribution,
including, among other factors, the timing and amount of such distribution.
"Completing
the sale of our institutional business is a meaningful milestone for TheStreet and we wish our colleagues continued success with
Euromoney", commented Eric Lundberg, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of TheStreet. "We look forward
to this next phase of TheStreet's evolution as we deepen our focus on our consumer business and strive to maximize value
