Plan Description Plan Description
General

The 401(k) Savings and Profit Sharing Plan of S&P Global Inc. and Its Subsidiaries (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan sponsored by S&P Global Inc. (the “Company”).

Prior to January 1, 2025, The Plan had a 100% interest in the S&P Global Inc. Savings Plans Master Trust Fund (the “Master Trust”). On January 1, 2025, the Plan was amended and the Master Trust was renamed to the S&P Global Inc. Defined Contribution Plan Trust, a single trust. The Plan consists of common stock, mutual funds, a stable assets fund and common collective trust funds (the “Investment Accounts”). In addition to the Investment Accounts in the Plan, the Plan allows participants to maintain Self-Directed Accounts. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

The following is a summary of benefit guidelines. A more detailed description is contained in the Plan document.
Administration of the Plan

The Plan is administered by the Company’s U.S. Benefits Committee (the “Plan Administrator”) who is responsible for carrying out the provisions of the Plan. The appointment was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company. The trustee for the Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company (the "Trustee") and Fidelity Workplace Services LLC is the recordkeeper for the Plan.

The Investment Accounts for the Plan are managed by the Retirement Plan Investment Committee and by outside investment managers. The Retirement Plan Investment Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the outside investment managers are appointed by the Retirement Plan Investment Committee.

Eligibility

Eligible employees who are represented by a collective bargaining agreement between Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and the NewsGuild of New York, CWA Local No. 31003, are “Guild-Represented Eligible Employees”. Eligible employees who are not Guild-Represented Eligible Employees, are “Non-Guild Eligible Employees”.

Employees of participating units of the Company have immediate eligibility, as long as the employee has completed the enrollment process.

All eligible employees who do not make an election to participate will automatically be enrolled in the Plan after 35 days of eligibility to participate with tax deferred participant contributions at 4% of eligible pay. The contribution automatically increases annually by 1% until the contribution rate equals 10% of eligible pay. Participants may opt out of the automatic increase.

Non-Guild Eligible Employees with a hire date (or most recent date of rehire) on or before November 1, 2021, are eligible to have profit sharing contributions credited to their profit sharing contribution account on the first day of the month coincident with or following the date the eligible employee attains age 21 and completes one year of continuous service. Non-Guild Eligible Employees who were hired prior to November 1, 2021 and who subsequently transferred their employment to an employer that was acquired on or after November 1, 2021 will remain eligible to receive profit sharing contributions as an employee of the acquired employer. Non-Guild Eligible Employees that were hired through an acquisition that was on or after November 1, 2021 are not eligible for profit-sharing contributions.
Guild-Represented Eligible Employees who satisfy the age and continuous service requirements on or before December 31, 2023, will begin receiving profit sharing contributions regardless of their date of hire, and all of their hours of service will be counted towards those contributions. Guild-Represented Eligible Employees hired on or after January 1, 2024 are not eligible for profit sharing contributions.
Contributions

All eligible employees may elect to contribute up to 60% of their pre-tax compensation, up to the annual deferral limit set by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). The Plan limits after-tax contributions by highly compensated Employees to 3% of earnings for Non-Guild Eligible Employees and 4% of earnings for Guild-Represented Eligible Employees. The annual deferral limit as set by the IRC was $23.5 in 2025. The annual compensation limit set by the IRC was $350 in 2025. The Plan also allows for participants age 50 and older to contribute additional tax-deferred contributions. These catch-up contributions were subject to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) limit of $7.5 in 2025. Plan contribution amounts allowable are limited pursuant to Sections 401(k), 401(m) and 415 of the IRC. If automatically enrolled, participants defer 4% of their eligible compensation, until changed by the participant. The Plan includes a Roth 401(k) contribution option which allows participants to contribute after-tax dollars into a Roth 401(k) account within the Plan and allows for tax-free earnings on those contributions. If subsequent distributions are considered qualified Roth distributions under the IRC, such distributions are not subject to taxes. Participants may also contribute amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans (rollover contributions).

Employees eligible to receive an annual short-term incentive compensation (“STIC”) award may contribute their STIC award to the Plan. Annual bonuses other than the STIC award are not eligible compensation under the Plan. STIC eligible employees must elect a deferred contribution percentage to contribute their STIC award into the Plan. The deferral contribution percentage for the STIC award can be different from the deferral contribution percentage for regular payroll contribution of eligible pay. Unless a separate election is made the deferred contribution percentage will be 0%. Elections made for a STIC award deferral contribution percentage will remain in effect until changed by the employee.

The Company matches 100% of the first 4% of tax deferred compensation contributed to the Plan by all eligible employees. In addition, the Company also makes a non-elective contribution for all eligible employees equal to 2% of eligible compensation. Effective January 1, 2025, eligible compensation for purposes of the 2% non-elective employer contributions only excludes STIC for Non-Guild Eligible Employees and includes STIC for Guild-Represented Eligible Employees.

The assets of the Plan may be invested in the Investment Accounts, as well as the Self-Directed Accounts. Participants can elect to designate, in 1% increments, their investment preference(s). If a participant is automatically enrolled, their contributions are invested in the age appropriate Target Retirement Fund. The particular Target Retirement Fund used as the default fund is based on the date an individual will turn age 65. There is no limit to the number of investment allocation changes for future allocations.

Profit Sharing
The Company will make profit sharing contributions from consolidated net profits for each plan year as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine at its discretion. This amount can be up to a maximum of 2.5% of eligible compensation up to the annual compensation limit set by the IRC for Non-Guild Eligible Employees and a maximum of 2.5% of eligible compensation up to the Social Security wage base and 5% of eligible compensation in excess of the Social Security wage base for Guild-Represented Eligible Employees. The Company contributed $18,869 for the 2025 plan year in 2026 which is included in Employer contributions receivable in the accompanying Statements of Net Asset Available for Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Participant Accounts

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and Company contributions, as well as allocations of the Company’s profit sharing contribution and Plan earnings (losses). Participant accounts are charged with an allocation of administrative expenses that are paid by the Plan. Allocations are based on participants’ account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Vesting

Employee contributions to the Plan are non-forfeitable. Matching contributions by the employer are fully vested immediately. Employer profit sharing contributions shall vest as follows:
After:Vested Percentage
2 years of continuous service
20% vested
3 years of continuous service
40% vested
4 years of continuous service
60% vested
5 years of continuous service
100% vested


Non-vested participant benefits are forfeited after a five-year break in service and forfeitures will be used first to reduce employer contributions and, if any remaining under the Plan, to pay certain expenses for the current plan year. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled $520 and $787, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2025, forfeited participant benefits used to reduce employer contributions for 2025 were $727. Forfeitures used to pay Plan expenses were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Benefit Payments

The IRC limits how participants may withdraw funds from the Plan. Participants may have options for withdrawing all or a portion of the vested balance in their Plan account while they are an employee of the Company or an affiliate. The withdrawal options include: hardship loans, withdrawal from participant’s after-tax and rollover sub-accounts, withdrawals after attainment of age 59½, withdrawals upon disability, hardship withdrawals, domestic abuse withdrawals, qualified disaster recovery distributions, reservist withdrawals, Heart Act withdrawals, or qualified birth or adoption withdrawals.

The Plan also provides that a participant who makes an election regarding the Investment Accounts, upon exercising withdrawal or loan rights, receives a pro rata distribution from the elected Investment Accounts.
On termination of service due to death, disability, retirement, or any other reason, a participant may elect to receive a lump sum distribution of the participant’s vested account balance.

Participant Loans

Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50 less their highest outstanding loan balance in the last 12 months or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms may range from 1 to 5 years or up to 10 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a reasonable interest rate commensurate with local prevailing rates. The interest rate, determined quarterly, is set at 2% above the prime rate, as defined in the Plan. Principal and interest are typically paid ratably through regular payroll deductions.
Plan Termination

While the Company has not expressed any intent to discontinue or to terminate the Plan, it is free to do so at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon termination of the Plan, the account balances of all participants become non-forfeitable.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

Investments held by the Plan (except for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts) are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). See Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements for further discussion and disclosures related to fair value measurements.

All earnings and net appreciation or depreciation of the Plan's Investment Accounts, other than the Self-Directed Accounts and the Stable Assets Account, are allocated to the Plan daily based upon the Plan’s share of the Investment Accounts’ fair value at the end of the previous day.

Investments in the Self-Directed Accounts are credited with earnings or charged with losses and expenses based on the performance of the individual investments within these accounts. Income and expenses for the investments in the Stable Assets Account are accrued for on a daily basis to allow for the calculation of a daily net asset value (“NAV”). The Stable Assets Account is credited with earnings or charged with losses on a monthly basis by the Trustee, after account statements are provided by the issuers.

Investment Income

Net investment income from the Plan consists of realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value or contract value of those investments, as well as interest and dividends earned. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year.

Contributions

Contributions from employees are accrued when the Company makes payroll deductions. Contributions from the Company are accrued in the period in which they become obligations of the Company.

Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.

Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan Administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

Federal Income Tax Status Federal Income Tax Status
The Plan received a determination from the IRS dated February 23, 2017 stating that the Plan, as amended, is qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended and restated. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualified status.

The Plan Sponsor has identified certain operational failures related to the Plan's administration and has submitted a Voluntary Correction Program (“VCP”) application to the IRS to address these failures. The application outlines corrective actions already taken for certain failures, proposed methods of correction for other failures, and the steps being taken to prevent future occurrences. The IRS has yet to issue a compliance statement regarding this submission, however, the resolution of this matter is not expected to impact the tax qualification. The financial impact of these corrections is not expected to be material to the Plan's financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025.

U.S. GAAP requires management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan Administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
In conformity with Accounting Standard Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, (“ASC 820”), assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized according to a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were no transfers between levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are defined as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the assets within the Plan measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Common stock - Valued at quoted market prices.
S&P Global Inc. common stock - Valued at quoted market prices.
Mutual funds - Valued at quoted market prices. These financial instruments are generally categorized as Level 1 instruments in the fair value hierarchy.
Common collective trust funds - Valued at the quoted NAV of shares held by the Plan at the valuation date. The NAV is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value based on the unit value of the funds. Unit values are determined by the investment manager sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. The common collective trust funds seek to provide long-term capital appreciation and income by investing in the stocks of the S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap 600 Index Fund and other various asset classes. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments and the redemption frequency and notice period are daily. Funding commitments are not applicable for these investments.

In addition, the Plan maintains Self-Directed Accounts. The Self-Directed Accounts hold mutual funds and money market funds valued at the quoted net asset value of shares held by the Plan at the valuation date.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation is appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Plan investment assets at fair value, as of December 31, 2025 and Master Trust investment assets at fair value, as of December 31, 2024. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement:

Guaranteed Investment Contracts

The Plan holds synthetic investment contracts. These contracts meet the fully benefit-responsive investment contract criteria and therefore are reported at contract value. Contract value is the relevant measure for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because this is the amount received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value represents contributions made under each contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals, and administrative expenses. The contract value of the synthetic investment contracts for the Plan was $229,518 and $248,681 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Mass Mutual contract, the RGA Reinsurance Company contract and the Prudential Insurance Co. of America contract are book value liquidity agreements which, in conjunction with the underlying bond portfolios covered by each contract, comprise the synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts (the “GIC”s). In exchange for an annual fee, each book value liquidity agreement issuer guarantees to reimburse the Stable Assets Account for the shortfall, if any, between the portfolio’s market value and principal and accrued interest in the event of participant initiated distributions from the synthetic GIC. The synthetic
GICs crediting interest rates reset monthly and is based upon the yield, duration and market value of the underlying bond portfolio. Each of the book value liquidity agreements is subject to an early termination penalty, which could reduce the crediting interest rate guarantee for the month in which a premature termination occurs.
Certain events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the insurance company and the financial institution issuer. Such events include (1) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) changes to the Plan’s prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions, (3) bankruptcy of the Plan sponsor or other Plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan, or (4) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan Administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such events that would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants is probable.

The synthetic GICs do not permit the insurance company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date; however, the synthetic GICs generally impose conditions on both the Plan and the issuer.

The Plan is responsible for its administrative expenses. The Company may reimburse the Plan for these expenses at its discretion. The Company paid in 2025 approximately $446 in professional and administrative fees on behalf of the Plan.

EBP, Accounting Policy [Line Items]  
Basis of Accounting
Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Investment Income
Investment Valuation

Investments held by the Plan (except for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts) are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). See Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements for further discussion and disclosures related to fair value measurements.

All earnings and net appreciation or depreciation of the Plan's Investment Accounts, other than the Self-Directed Accounts and the Stable Assets Account, are allocated to the Plan daily based upon the Plan’s share of the Investment Accounts’ fair value at the end of the previous day.

Investments in the Self-Directed Accounts are credited with earnings or charged with losses and expenses based on the performance of the individual investments within these accounts. Income and expenses for the investments in the Stable Assets Account are accrued for on a daily basis to allow for the calculation of a daily net asset value (“NAV”). The Stable Assets Account is credited with earnings or charged with losses on a monthly basis by the Trustee, after account statements are provided by the issuers.

Investment Income
Net investment income from the Plan consists of realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value or contract value of those investments, as well as interest and dividends earned. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year.
Contributions
Contributions
Contributions from employees are accrued when the Company makes payroll deductions. Contributions from the Company are accrued in the period in which they become obligations of the Company.
Payment of Benefits
Payment of Benefits

Benefits are recorded when paid.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan Administrator deems the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.
