Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

On July 10, 2017, IHS Markit Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (the “Company”), announced the pricing of its offering of an additional $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Additional Notes”), which represents an increase of $50 million to the aggregate principal amount contained in the Company’s news release issued this morning, in a private placement transaction pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offering is expected to close on July 13, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company has previously issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Existing Notes”) under the Indenture, dated February 9, 2017 among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee. The Additional Notes will have identical terms to the Existing Notes other than their date of issue and their initial price to the public and will be treated as a single series under the indenture and be fungible with, and have the same CUSIP/ISIN numbers as, the Existing Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except that the Additional Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act will initially be subject to restrictions on transfer and will initially trade separately under different CUSIP/ISIN numbers until at least 40 days after the issue date of the Additional Notes. After the 40th day following such date, certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Additional Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act will terminate and such Additional Notes will become fungible with, and will be mandatorily exchanged to have the same CUSIP/ISIN numbers as, the Existing Notes sold pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the Additional Notes for working capital and other general purposes, which initially may include repayment of indebtedness under its revolving credit facility and may in the future include share repurchases pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase authorization.

The Additional Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereunder. Pursuant to Rule 135c of the Securities Act, the Company is filing herewith the press release dated July 10, 2017.
