Where can I find the detailed financial results for S&P Global's third quarter of 2021?

The detailed financial results and discussion for S&P Global's third quarter ended September 30, 2021, are provided in the earnings release attached as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K filing.

Does this 8-K filing contain specific financial numbers or just a notification of results?

This 8-K filing primarily serves as a notification that S&P Global has released its Q3 2021 earnings. The specific financial numbers, performance details, and guidance are contained within the earnings release (Exhibit 99) which is incorporated by reference.

What does it mean that the information furnished is 'not deemed to be filed'?

When information furnished under Items 2.02 and 7.01 is 'not deemed to be filed,' it means that the company is not subject to the liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the information contained within that specific release. This is a common practice for earnings releases furnished via 8-K.

What is the significance of the 'Regulation FD Disclosure' mentioned?
