Where can I find the specific financial results for S&P Global's second quarter of 2024?

The specific financial results for S&P Global's second quarter of 2024 are detailed in the earnings release dated July 30, 2024, which is attached as Exhibit 99 to this Form 8-K filing and is incorporated by reference.

Does the 8-K filing itself contain the detailed financial numbers?

No, the Form 8-K filing primarily serves to report that the earnings release has been issued and to incorporate that release by reference. The detailed financial numbers, operational commentary, and segment performance are found within the earnings release document (Exhibit 99), not within the 8-K text itself.

What is the significance of 'not deemed to be 'filed'' for Items 2.02 and 7.01?

When information is furnished and 'not deemed to be filed,' it means that while the information is publicly disclosed, it is not subject to the same level of liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as information that is formally filed. This is a standard disclosure practice for earnings releases furnished via 8-K.

Will this information be included in future SEC filings?

The information furnished in this 8-K, including the earnings release, will not be incorporated by reference into future filings unless expressly stated by S&P Global in a specific filing.
