Recharge

Recharge is S&P Global’s flexible time-off approach under which there is no prescribed maximum amount of time off you can take. We believe it’s important to take time away from the office for your hobbies, loved ones, personal responsibilities and wellbeing.

By spending time away from the office and managing this important aspect of your wellbeing, you’re well-positioned to do your best work. Recharge days can be used for any number of reasons, such as to:

• Travel or explore attractions and activities
• Celebrate a birthday or career service anniversary
• Attend a child’s school activities
• Visit a wellness provider
• Take a well-being day

Global Care Leave

Defined Contribution Plan (DC Plan) and Cash Balance Retirement Allowance Plan (CB RAP)

Each month, S&P Global will contribute to your individual DC accounts based on the monthly cap of JPY 55,000 governed by DC law in Japan:

• 10% of your monthly base salary* for team members with less than 15 years of service;** or
• 12% of your monthly base salary* for team members with 15 years or more of service**

If S&P Global’s DC contribution is less than JPY 55,000 per month, you have the option to voluntarily contribute.

Your DC account will grow over time where you will have the option to invest your DC assets in the funds offered in the plan. When you retire (at age 60), you will receive your DC account balance as lump sum or annuity.

If S&P Global’s monthly DC contribution is more than the legal limit of JPY 55,000, the excess amount will accrue in your CB RAP account each month. CB RAP is calculated as:

• (monthly base salary x 10% or 12%) less amount S&P Global contributed to your DC account

In addition, S&P Global will grant interest of 2% per annum in your CB RAP. When you leave or retire from the Company, the total amount credited to your CB RAP will be paid to you as a lump sum.

*Monthly base salary refers to monthly base salary as of April 1 and will continue to be the same until March 31.

Note: Monthly base salary will change April 1, each year, according to the DC Regulations here: S&P Global LLC  (MI, DJI, Commodity Insights), S&P Global Ratings Japan and IHSM Japan.

Vesting Period (for lump-sum CB RAP Payout)

• 3 years of service* for voluntary separation (i.e. resignation)
• 1 year of service* for involuntary separation (i.e. retirement, etc.)

**Years of service = completed years of service less unpaid leaves of absence
