Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 19, 2019, S&P Global Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it had commenced a cash tender offer (the "Tender Offer") for any and all of its outstanding 3.300% Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") and any and all of its outstanding 6.550% Notes due 2037 (the "2037 Notes" and, together with the 2020 Notes, the "Notes"). The complete terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in an offer to purchase and notice of guaranteed delivery (collectively, the "Tender Offer Documents") that will be sent to registered holders of the Notes and be posted online at www.dfking.com/spgi. The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 25, 2019, unless extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Time").

The applicable consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Tender Offer Documents by reference to the applicable fixed spread for such Notes plus the applicable yield based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on November 25, 2019, unless extended.

Holders will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the date the Company initially makes payment for such Notes, which date is anticipated to be November 26, 2019 (the "Settlement Date"). Notes tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery and accepted for purchase will be purchased on the third business day after the Expiration Time, but payment of accrued interest on such Notes will only be made to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer is conditioned on the Company's successful completion of an offering of its new senior notes separately announced today and on the other general conditions described in the Tender Offer Documents.

A copy of the Company's press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
