<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">This proxy statement amendment (this &lsquo;&lsquo;Amendment&rdquo;)
updates and amends our definitive proxy statement (the &lsquo;&lsquo;Proxy Statement&rsquo;&rsquo;) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 19, 2024 regarding the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of S&amp;P Global, Inc. (the &ldquo;Annual Meeting&rdquo;)
to be held on May 1, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT) in a virtual-only format, via the Internet at&nbsp;<FONT STYLE="color: blue"><U>https://meetnow.global/MM7UHQT</U></FONT>.
Except as updated by this Amendment, all information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged and should be considered in casting
your vote by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting. Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in
the Proxy Statement. This Amendment, our Notice of Annual Meeting, our Proxy Statement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023 are available at&nbsp;<FONT STYLE="color: blue"><U>www.spglobal.com/proxy</U></FONT><FONT STYLE="color: #0563C1">.
</FONT>From and after the date of this Amendment, all references to the &ldquo;Proxy Statement&rdquo; are to the Proxy Statement as amended
hereby. The Proxy Statement contains important information, and this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">If you have already voted and would like to change
or revoke your vote on any proposal, please refer to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement under &ldquo;2024 Annual Meeting Information&mdash;Can
I revoke or change my vote?,&rdquo; which is the eleventh question and answer section for instructions on how to do so.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The primary purpose of this Amendment is to update
the section pertaining to the description of the voting standards applicable to each proposal in the Proxy Statement, which is amended
and replaced with the following language:</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white; color: #DC0031"><B>How many votes are required
for the approval of each Item?</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white; color: #DC0031">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&bull; <B>Item One</B>&thinsp;&ndash;&thinsp;A
nominee will be elected as a Director if he or she receives a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. A majority of votes cast
means that the number of shares voted &ldquo;for&rdquo; a Director&rsquo;s selection exceeds the number of votes cast &ldquo;against&rdquo;
that Director&rsquo;s election. If an incumbent Director who has been nominated for re-election fails to receive a majority of the votes
cast in an uncontested election, New York law provides that the Director continues to serve as a Director in a hold-over capacity. The
Company&rsquo;s By-Laws provide that, in such circumstances, the Director is required to promptly tender his or her resignation to the
Board of Directors. The Board&rsquo;s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is then required to make a recommendation to the Board
as to whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation. The Board will act on the tendered resignation and will publicly disclose
its decision and rationale within 90&nbsp;days following certification of the election results. If a Director&rsquo;s resignation is accepted
by the Board, the Board may fill the vacancy or decrease the size of the Board. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be
counted either for or against the election of a Director nominee.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&bull; <B>Item Two</B>&thinsp;&ndash;&thinsp;The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve, on an advisory non-binding basis, the executive
compensation program for the Company&rsquo;s named executive officers, as described in this Proxy Statement. Abstentions and broker non-votes,
if any, will not be counted either for or against this proposal.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&bull; <B>Item Three</B>&thinsp;&ndash;&thinsp;The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve the Company&rsquo;s Director Deferred Stock Ownership
Plan, as Amended and Restated. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted either for or against this proposal.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&bull; <B>Item Four</B>&thinsp;&ndash;&thinsp;The
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst &amp; Young LLP as the
Company&rsquo;s independent auditor for 2024. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted either for or against this
proposal. As noted above, Item&nbsp;4 will be considered routine under the rules of the NYSE and brokers may vote the shares of beneficial
owners for this Item in their discretion.</P>
