Summary
This 8-K filing from The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (which would later become S&P Global Inc.) on July 24, 2003, primarily announces the execution of a new $575 million 364-day credit agreement. This new agreement, effective July 22, 2003, replaces a previous $675 million 364-day credit facility that was terminated on the same date.
