TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF 
2018 PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AWARD




Performance Share Unit Award made as of the date (the “Award Date”) in 2018 that is the first business day of the month specified by the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of S&P Global Inc., a New York corporation (“S&P Global”), by S&P Global.
WHEREAS, the Board has designated the Committee to administer the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), with respect to certain executives of the Company;
WHEREAS, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Plan;
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the Employee should be granted a Performance Share Unit Award under the Plan for the number of Performance Share Units (“Units”) as specified in the Employee’s Performance Share Unit Award Document (the “Award Document”); and
WHEREAS, the Employee is accepting the Performance Share Unit Award subject to the terms and conditions set forth below:
1.    Grant of Awards.  The grant of this Performance Share Unit Award (“Award”) is subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth with respect to the Units covered by this Award.  Payment, if any, under the Award will be made in the number of shares of Stock corresponding to the number of Units earned hereunder, with each Unit corresponding to one share of Stock.  For purposes of this Award, “Award Period” means the three consecutive calendar years beginning with the calendar year that includes the Award Date.






Exhibit (10.1)





Upon grant of the Award, no stock or other certificate representing the Units or the shares of Stock represented thereby will be issued to or registered in the name of the Employee.  The ultimate receipt of the shares of Stock by the Employee is contingent upon achievement of the EPS goal established by the Committee hereunder and the additional requirements set forth herein.
The Employee does not have an absolute right to receive a fixed or determinable amount either at the inception or expiration of the Award Period.
2.    Performance Goals.
(a)    EPS and EPS Goals.  The achievement of this Award shall be measured against a schedule of a three-year Earnings per Share (“EPS”) growth goal established prior to the grant of the Award by the Committee for the Award Period.  Subject to any adjustments to the schedule made by the Committee after the Award Date pursuant to Section 2(b), this schedule shall govern the determination of the Units earned and payable hereunder subject to and in accordance with the other terms of this Award.  If EPS growth equals 100% of the target EPS growth goal, the Employee shall earn 100% of the Units.  For EPS growth between the zero payout level as established by the Committee and the targeted growth goal, the Employee shall earn a pro rata portion of the Units.  For EPS growth that equals or exceeds the 200% payout level, as established by the Committee, the Employee shall earn 200% of the Units payable at the 100% payout level.  For growth between the targeted growth goal and the 200% payout level, as established by the Committee, the Employee shall earn 100% of the Units plus a pro rata portion of the additional Units between the 100% and 200% payout levels. For growth at or below the zero payout level, all Units shall be forfeited by the Employee.
(b)    Committee Discretion to Adjust.  For purposes of this Award, “EPS” means diluted earnings per share as shown on the Consolidated Statement of Income in the Company's Annual Report, adjusted in the manner that the Committee determines to be appropriate to 






Exhibit (10.1)





exclude some or all of one or more items of income or expense.  The EPS goals referred to in Section 2(a) are the targets for EPS expressed as a dollar amount approved by the Committee for the Award Period.  The Committee may adjust these EPS targets after the Award Date in the manner that the Committee determines to be appropriate to take into account facts and circumstances occurring after the Award Date.  The decision by the Committee to adjust or not to adjust EPS or the EPS targets shall be final and binding on the Employee and all other interested persons and may have the effect of increasing or decreasing the amount payable to the Employee pursuant to this Award.
3.    Distribution Following Maturity Date.
(a)    Maturity and Payment Dates.  If the Employee remains an employee of the Company through December 31, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”), the Units earned in accordance with the payout schedule established by the Committee, shall be paid to the Employee on the date after the Maturity Date and prior to March 15th of the first calendar year following the Maturity Date that is specified by the Committee for the settlement of the Award (the “Payment Date”).
(b)    Conversion.  The Units payable to the Employee shall be converted into shares of Stock on the Payment Date and such shares shall be delivered to the Employee on the Payment Date.  
(c)    Share Withholding.  Before payment is made to the Employee, the Company shall withhold all applicable Federal, state and local income taxes.  To satisfy such withholding requirement, the Company shall hold back a sufficient number of the shares and cash which would otherwise be delivered to the Employee to satisfy the required withholding obligation.
(d)    Non-U.S. Persons.  If the Employee is not on a U.S. dollar-based payroll on the Award Date or at any time thereafter prior to the Maturity Date, then the Employee shall indemnify the Company for any loss sustained by the Company from the failure to satisfy the 






Exhibit (10.1)





withholding obligations described in Section 3(c), and the Employee shall, upon request, provide the Company with satisfactory evidence that the Employee has satisfied such obligations.
4.    Termination of Employment Prior to Maturity Date.  
(a)    Pro Rata Award Opportunity in Certain Circumstances.  In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the Maturity Date due to (i) Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, or Disability, (ii) death, or (iii) with the approval of the Committee, in connection with a termination by the Company other than for Cause, the Employee shall be eligible to receive payment of a pro rata portion of this Award; provided, however, that in the case of a termination by the Company other than for Cause with the approval of the Committee, payment of a pro rata portion of this Award shall be subject to the Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a release in a form to be provided by the Company (the “Release”), releasing the Company and its affiliates and certain other persons and entities from certain claims and other liabilities, which Release must be effective and irrevocable within the time specified in the Release. 
Except as provided in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, in the event the Employee voluntarily resigns his or her employment with the Company or is involuntarily terminated by the Company for Cause prior to the Maturity Date, the Employee shall forfeit the right to any payment under this Award.
(b)    Determination of Pro Rata Award.
(i)    Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, or Disability.  The pro rata portion of the Award to be received by the Employee if he or she terminates because of Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, or Disability shall be determined:  (X) first, by multiplying the number of Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period during which the Employee was employed and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar days occurring during the entire Award Period; (Y) second, by measuring the 






Exhibit (10.1)





compound annual growth from the Award cycle base year through the Maturity Date; and (Z) by awarding the number of Units determined in (X) based on the degree to which the achievement calculated in (Y) achieves the EPS goal established for the Award, subject to the limits set forth in the goal and payout schedule established for this Award and to the provisions of Section 2 hereof.
(ii)    Termination by the Company Other than For Cause.  The pro rata portion of the Award to be received by the Employee, with the approval of the Committee, in connection with a termination by the Company other than for Cause, shall be determined:  (X) first, by multiplying the number of Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period during which the Employee was employed plus the number of full calendar days during the Award Period during which the Employee receives Separation Pay, as defined in the severance program in which the Employee participates, and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar days occurring during the entire Award Period; (Y) second, by measuring the compound annual growth from the Award cycle base year through the Maturity Date; and (Z) by awarding the number of Units determined in (X) based on the degree to which the achievement calculated in (Y) achieves the EPS goal established for the Award, subject to the limits set forth in the goal and payout schedule established for this Award and to the provisions of Section 2 hereof.
(iii)    Death.  The pro rata portion of the Award to be received by the Employee if he or she terminates because of death, shall be determined:  (X) first, by multiplying the number of Units by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar days during the Award Period during which the Employee was employed and the denominator of which is the number of full calendar days occurring during the entire Award Period; (Y) second, by measuring the compound annual growth from the Award cycle base year through the end of the year in which termination occurs; and (Z) by awarding the number of Units determined in (X) based on the 






Exhibit (10.1)





degree to which the achievement calculated in (Y) achieves the EPS goal established for the Award, subject to the limits set forth in the goal and payout schedule established for this Award and to the provisions of Section 2 hereof.
(c)    Timing of Distribution of Pro Rata Award.
(i)    All Circumstances Other Than Death.  In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the Maturity Date other than for death (including, without limitation, Normal Retirement, Early Retirement, Disability, or other than for Cause), the Employee’s pro rata portion of the Award (if any) determined to have been earned out pursuant to Section 4(a) herein shall be delivered to the Employee on the Payment Date.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a termination by the Company other than for Cause with the approval of the Committee, if the Employee does not execute a Release or a Release does not become effective and irrevocable in its entirety prior to the expiration of the time specified in the Release, the Employee shall not be entitled to any payments pursuant to this Section 4.
(ii)    Death.  In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the Maturity Date due to death, the Employee’s pro rata portion of the Award (if any) determined to have been earned out pursuant to Section 4(a) herein shall be delivered to the beneficiary designated by the Employee (or if the Employee has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Employee’s estate), not later than March 15, in the year immediately following the year in which death occurred.
5.    Voting and Dividend Rights.  Prior to the delivery of any shares of Stock covered by this Award, the Employee shall not have the right to vote or to receive any dividends with respect to such shares.
6.    Transfer Restrictions.  This Award and the Units are nontransferable (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution), and may not be transferred, sold, assigned, 






Exhibit (10.1)





pledged or hypothecated and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.  Any attempt to effect any of the foregoing shall be null and void.
7.    Miscellaneous.  These Terms and Conditions (a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company, (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and any applicable laws of the United States, and (c) may not be amended or modified in any way without the express written consent of both the Company and the Employee.  Consent on behalf of the Company may only be given through a writing signed, dated and authorized by the Executive Vice President of Human Resources for S&P Global, which directly refers to these Terms and Conditions and this Award.  No other modifications to these Terms and Conditions are valid under any circumstances.  No contract or right of employment shall be implied by this Award.  If this Award is assumed or a new award is substituted therefor in any corporate reorganization, employment by such assuming or substituting corporation or by a parent corporation or subsidiary thereof shall be considered for all purposes of this Award to be employment by the Company.
In the event of any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend, stock split or other change in corporate structure affecting the Stock, such substitution or adjustment shall be made in the number of Units granted pursuant to this Award as may be determined to be appropriate by the Committee in its sole discretion.
This Award shall be subject to the requirements of the Senior Executive Pay Recovery Policy of S&P Global or the S&P Ratings Services Pay Recovery Policy (as applicable, the “Policy”), and all shares of Stock or other amounts paid or payable to a Participant under or in respect of the Award shall, if applicable, be subject to recovery or other action pursuant to and as, and to the extent, provided by the Policy (or any successor policy or requirement), as in effect from time to time.






Exhibit (10.1)





This Award shall be subject to the requirements of the S&P Global Inc. Securities Disclosure Policy and the S&P Global Inc. Securities Trading Policy, each as in effect from time to time, and a Participant, by accepting the Award, acknowledges and agrees that employee information, including financial information, may be collected by the Company, subject to applicable local data protection and employment law and the S&P Global Inc. Employee Privacy Policy (as in effect from time to time), in connection with its administration of these policies or complying with regulatory requirements.  By accepting the Award, a Participant agrees to submit their personal data, including financial information, and consents to the collection, transfer, retention or otherwise processing of such data by S&P Global Inc. and/or a third party service provider that may not be located in the same jurisdiction as the Participant.
Any payment pursuant to this Award shall not be deemed compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the Company, and, except as the Committee may otherwise determine, shall not affect any benefits under any other benefit plan now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits is related to the level of compensation.
8.    Change in Control if the Successor Company Assumes or Substitutes the Award.
In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date of the Award, to the extent the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) assumes or substitutes the Award on substantially the same terms and conditions, the following shall apply:
(a)    Effect of Change in Control.  Subject to any applicable adjustments as provided for in the Plan and this Award Document, the Award shall convert into an award of time-vesting restricted share units with the number of shares of common stock of the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) underlying such restricted share units determined based on the deemed achievement of the EPS goal hereunder as follows: (i) at the target EPS goal, to the extent less than 50% of the Award Period has been completed as of the date of such Change in 






Exhibit (10.1)





Control and (ii) at the EPS goal the Employee would have earned for the Award Period if the achievement of the relevant goal were measured as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred solely with respect to the time frame in which the Award was outstanding, to the extent 50% or more of the Award Period has been completed as of the date of such Change in Control.  The existing vesting schedule shall continue to apply to such converted restricted share units, subject to Sections 8(b) and (e) below.   
     (b)    Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause. If the Employee is terminated without Cause following a Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date, the Award, as converted pursuant to Section 8(a), shall become unrestricted and fully vested.  On (A) the Separation Payment Date, if the Change in Control constitutes a “change in control event” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) (a “Section 409A Change in Control”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Separation Date is not more than two years after the Change in Control, or (B) the Payment Date, if the Change in Control is not a Section 409A Change in Control or the Separation Date is more than two years after the Change in Control, such vested restricted shares units shall convert into shares of common stock of the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) and such shares shall be delivered to the Employee, subject to Sections 3(c) and (d) above.  
For purposes of this Section 8 and Section 9, the “Separation Date” means the date of the Employee’s “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code, and the “Separation Payment Date” means the Separation Date or, if the Employee is a “specified employee” as of the Separation Date within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, the date that is six months after the Separation Date (or, if earlier, the date of the Employee’s death).
(c)    Special Rule Where Severance is Payable.  If the employment of the Employee is terminated voluntarily following a Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date and the Employee 






Exhibit (10.1)





receives severance in accordance with the severance plan in which the Employee participates at the time of a Change in Control, the Award, as converted pursuant to Section 8(a), shall become unrestricted and fully vested.  On (A) the Separation Payment Date, if the Change in Control is a Section 409A Change in Control and the Separation Date is not more than two years after the Change in Control, or (B) the Payment Date, if the Change in Control is not a Section 409A Change in Control or the Separation Date is more than two years after the Change in Control, such vested restricted share units shall convert into shares of common stock of the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) and such shares shall be delivered to the Employee, subject to Sections 3(c) and (d) above.
(d)    Retirement or Disability.  If the employment of the Employee is terminated due to Retirement or Disability following the Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date, the Award, as converted pursuant to Section 8(a), shall become unrestricted and fully vested.  On (A) the Separation Payment Date, if the Change in Control is a Section 409A Change in Control and the Separation Date is not more than two years after the Change in Control, or (B) the Payment Date, if the Change in Control is not a Section 409A Change in Control or the Separation Date is more than two years after the Change in Control, such vested restricted share units shall convert into shares of common stock of the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) and such shares shall be delivered to the Employee, subject to Sections 3(c) and (d) above.
(e)    Death.  If the employment of the Employee is terminated due to death following a Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date, upon such termination, the Award, as converted pursuant to Section 8(a), shall become unrestricted and fully vested.  The beneficiary designated by the Employee (or if the Employee has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Employee’s estate) shall receive, within 60 days following the date of the Employee’s death, or where additional time is needed for administrative reasons, at such later 






Exhibit (10.1)





time as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code, shares of common stock of the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) in respect such vested restricted share units, subject to Sections 3(c) and (d) above. 
(f)    Forfeiture.  If the employment of the Employee terminates following a Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date for any reason not described in Sections 8(b) through (e), the Employee will forfeit the unvested Award, as converted pursuant to Section 8(a). 
9.    Change in Control if the Successor Company Does Not Assume or Substitute the Award.
In the event of a Change in Control prior to the Maturity Date of the Award, to the extent the successor company (or a subsidiary or parent thereof) does not assume or substitute the Award on substantially the same terms and conditions, the following shall apply:
(a)    Effect of Change in Control.  The EPS goal hereunder shall be deemed to have been achieved, and such achievement shall be at the higher of (i) the target EPS goal and (ii) the EPS goal the Employee would have earned for the Award Period if the achievement of the relevant goal were measured as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred solely with respect to the time frame in which the Award was outstanding.  In addition, if the Change in Control occurs during the first year of the Performance Cycle, the Section 162(m) Performance Target shall be deemed to have been achieved.
(b)    Section 409A Compliance.
(i)    Pro Rata Portion and Stock Payment.  If the Change in Control constitutes a Section 409A Change in Control, then a pro rata portion of the Units earned under this Award as determined in Section 9(b)(ii) below shall be distributed immediately to the Employee in the form of shares of Stock, if any, for the period from the start of the Award Period through the date of the Change in Control.  If such Change in Control is not a Section 409A Change in Control, then all of the Units earned under this Award shall be converted into cash in accordance with Section 






Exhibit (10.1)





9(c) below and payment shall be made on the Payment Date or, if earlier, the Separation Payment Date, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(c).
(ii)    Calculation of Pro Rata Portion.  Calculation of the pro rata portion of the Units to be distributed to the Employee hereunder in the event of a Section 409A Change in Control shall be determined solely by multiplying the number of Units earned under this Award by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of calendar quarters of the 12 quarter cycle for the award which have occurred from the date hereof up to and including the calendar quarter in which the Section 409A Change in Control occurred and (y) the denominator of which is 12 quarters.
(c)    Conversion and Payment.
(i)    Cash Payment.  The Units earned under this Award other than the Units distributed to the Employee as shares of Stock pursuant to Section 9(b)(i) above in the event of a Section 409A Change in Control shall be converted into cash by the Company as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred.  The converted cash amount for each share of Stock shall be the Change in Control Price.  For purposes of this Section 9(c), the “Change in Control Price” means the highest cash price per share of Stock paid in any transaction reported on the Consolidated Transaction Reporting System, or paid or offered in the transaction or transactions that result in the Change in Control or any other bona fide transaction related to a Change in Control or possible Change in Control at any time during the sixty-day period ending on the date of the Change in Control, as determined by the Committee.  Such cash amounts shall be retained by the Company for the benefit of the Employee and thereafter shall be distributed by the Company to the Employee on the Payment Date or, if earlier, the Separation Payment Date, in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 9(c).
(ii)    Special Rule for Securities Payments to Shareholders.  If the payment to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the transaction giving rise to a Change in 






Exhibit (10.1)





Control is in the form of securities, either in whole or in part, then for the purpose of determining the Change in Control Price such securities shall be deemed converted immediately by the Company into a cash equivalent amount as of the date of the Change in Control.  The determination of such cash equivalent amount for such securities shall be made by an independent investment banking firm selected by the Company.  The determination of the cash equivalent amount by this independent investment banking firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest therein.  All fees incurred in retaining this investment banking firm shall be paid for by the Company.  These cash amounts so determined as a cash equivalent in the manner provided herein, together with the cash derived from converting the shares of Stock into cash under Section 9(c)(i) above, shall be retained by the Company for the benefit of the Employee and thereafter shall be distributed by the Company to the Employee on the Payment Date or, if earlier, the Separation Payment Date, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9(c).
(iii)    Funding.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary in Sections 9(c)(i) and 9(c)(ii) above, if in connection with a Change in Control the Company elects to fund other payments due senior executives of the Company pursuant to various management and benefit plans by effecting payments to the “rabbi trust” by a third-party trustee or through some other comparable vehicle in order to protect these payments for the benefit of the senior executives, the Company in such instance shall immediately fund the cash payment referred to herein on the same basis, for example, using a rabbi trust or other comparable vehicle, that are provided for other payments due senior executives of the Company.
(iv)    Involuntary Termination Other Than for Cause.  If the Employee is terminated involuntarily (except for Cause) prior to the Maturity Date, Employee shall receive a cash payment computed as provided in Sections 9(c)(i) and (ii) with respect to the Units that were not converted into shares of Stock and distributed to the Employee pursuant to Sections 9(a) and 






Exhibit (10.1)





(b)(i) calculated as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred.  The Employee shall receive the payment on (A) the Separation Payment Date, if the Change in Control is a Section 409A Change in Control and the Separation Date is not more than two years after the Change in Control, or (B) the Payment Date, if the Change in Control is not a Section 409A Change in Control or the Separation Date is more than two years after the Change in Control. 
(v)    Special Rule Where Severance is Payable.  If the employment of the Employee is terminated voluntarily prior to the Maturity Date and the Employee receives severance in accordance with any of the provisions of the severance plan in which the Employee participates at the time of a Change in Control, the Employee shall receive a cash payment computed as provided in Sections 9(c)(i) and (ii) with respect to the Units that were not converted into shares of Stock and distributed to the Employee pursuant to Sections 9(a) and (b)(i) calculated as of the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred.  The Employee shall receive the payment on (A) the Separation Payment Date, if the Change in Control is a Section 409A Change in Control and the Separation Date is not more than two years after the Change in Control, or (B) the Payment Date, if the Change in Control is not a Section 409A Change in Control or the Separation Date is more than two years after the Change in Control.
(vi)    Retirement or Disability.  If the employment of the Employee is terminated due to Retirement or Disability prior to the Maturity Date, the Employee shall receive a cash payment computed as provided in Sections 9(c)(i) and (ii) with respect to the Units that were not converted into shares of Stock and distributed to the Employee pursuant to Sections 9(a) and (b)(i) calculated as of the date the Change in Control is determined to have occurred.  The Employee shall receive such payment on (A) the Separation Payment Date, if the Change in Control is a Section 409A Change in Control and the Separation Date is not more than two years after the Change in Control, or (B) the Payment Date, if the Change in Control is not a 






Exhibit (10.1)





Section 409A Change in Control or the Separation Date is more than two years after the Change in Control.
(vii)    Death.  If the employment of the Employee is terminated due to death prior to the Maturity Date, upon such termination, the beneficiary designated by the Employee (or if the Employee has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Employee’s estate) shall receive, within 60 days following the date of the Employee’s death, or where additional time is needed for administrative reasons, at such later time as is permitted under Section 409A of the Code, a cash payment computed as provided in Sections 9(c)(i) and (ii) with respect to the Units that were not converted into shares of Stock and distributed to the Employee pursuant to Sections 9(a) and (b)(i) calculated as of the date the Change in Control is determined to have occurred.
(viii)    Forfeiture.  If the employment of the Employee terminates prior to the Maturity Date for any reason not described in Sections 9(c)(iv) through (vii), the Employee will forfeit all Units that were not converted into shares of Stock and distributed to the Employee pursuant to Sections 9(a) and (b)(i).
(d)    Securities Law Compliance.  If in the event of a Change in Control no listing or registration statement is in effect pursuant to Section 10 below, the Company shall distribute to the Employee a cash equivalent amount representing the shares of Stock to be distributed to the Employee.
10.    Securities Law Requirements.  The Company shall not be required to issue shares of Stock in settlement of or otherwise pursuant to this Award unless and until (a) the shares have been duly listed upon each stock exchange on which the Stock is then registered; (b) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to such shares is then effective; and (c) the issuance of the shares would comply with such legal or 






Exhibit (10.1)





regulatory provisions of such countries or jurisdictions outside the United States as may be applicable in respect of this Award.
11.    Section 409A.  This Award is intended to provide for the “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and to meet the requirements of Section 409A(a)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code, and it shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with this intent.
