Filed March 20, 2013For Securities:SPGI

Summary

This 10-K/A filing for The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (which later became S&P Global Inc.) primarily serves to correct errors in the original filing from February 28, 2013. Key corrections involve the "Selected Financial Data" for fiscal years 2008 and 2009, including revenue, segment operating profit, net income, and earnings per share. These adjustments stem from accounting for the McGraw-Hill Education segment and discontinued operations. Additionally, the number of record holders for common stock as of February 1, 2013, was corrected from an erroneous disclosure of shares outstanding to the accurate figure of 3,885 holders. Another significant correction pertains to intangible asset impairment charges for McGraw-Hill Education's School Education Group, clarifying the amounts as $497 million and $19 million, respectively, rather than erroneously stated as millions of millions. Investors should note that this amendment solely addresses these specific corrections and does not update or reflect any events occurring after the original filing date.
