Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders
Proxy Solicited by Board of Directors for Special Meeting — [ ], 2021
The undersigned appoints Taptesh (Tasha) K. Matharu and Steven J. Kemps, and each of them, as proxies with full power of substitution, to vote the shares of stock of S&P Global Inc. (the “Company”), which the undersigned is entitled to vote, at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held at [ ] on
[ ], 2021, or any adjournments or postponements thereof. If you sign and return this card without indicating how to vote on the S&P Global share issuance proposal, the shares represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Company’s board of directors.
Note to 401(k) Participants. If you are a current or former employee of the Company, this card also provides voting instructions for shares held in The 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) of the Company and its Subsidiaries. If you are a participant in the Plan and have shares of common stock of the Company allocated to your account under the Plan, you have the right to direct The Northern Trust Company, the Trustee of the Plan (the “Trustee”), to vote the shares held in your account. The Trustee will vote allocated shares for which no direction is received and unallocated shares, if any (together “Undirected Shares”), in the same proportion as the shares for which direction is received, subject to the Plan documents. Computershare, the Company’s transfer agent, must receive your instructions by [ ] on [ ], 2021 in order to communicate your instructions to the Trustee, who will then vote all the shares of common stock of the Company which are credited to the undersigned’s account as of [ ], 2021. Under the Plan, you are a “named fiduciary” for the purpose of voting shares in your account and your proportionate share of the Undirected Shares. This means that you have ultimate authority to control the manner in which the shares are voted. By submitting voting instructions by telephone, Internet, or by signing and returning this voting instruction card, you direct the Trustee to vote these shares, in person or by proxy, as designated herein, at the Special Meeting of Shareholders.
