Item 8.01 Other Events

 

On May 20, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P Global”) approved the previously announced separation of its Mobility division (the “Separation”), which will be achieved through a pro rata distribution of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Mobility Global Inc. (“Mobility Global”) to the holders of S&P Global common stock as of the record date of June 15, 2026 (the “record date”).

 

Each of S&P Global’s shareholders as of the record date will be entitled to receive one share of Mobility Global common stock for every share of S&P Global common stock held by such shareholder at the close of business on the record date. The distribution is expected to be effective at 12:01 a.m. New York City time on July 1, 2026. Following the Separation, Mobility Global will be an independent, public company, and S&P Global will retain no ownership interest in Mobility Global.

 

The completion of the distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary conditions, including that Mobility Global’s registration statement on Form 10 shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that no determination will have been made by the Board that it is inadvisable to proceed with the distribution.

 

A copy of the press release announcing these matters is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
