S&P Global Inc.

This proposal requests that the company amend its governing documents (and publish the bylaws) so that holders of 10% of outstanding common stock may call a special shareholder meeting, with no minimum holding period and no requirement that most petitioning holders be record holders. The proponent argues the current 25% threshold is unrealistic at large-cap companies and that a 10% threshold would provide a feasible mechanism for shareholders to convene a meeting to address urgent governance or strategic issues. The proposal also asks that the company permit such meetings to be convened in an online format and prohibit bylaws provisions that would exclude short-term or non-record-holder participation. Notable details include the proponent (John Chevedden), the specific 10% threshold requested, and an explicit instruction to amend and publish the bylaws to implement the change.

This proposal requests that the company evaluate and publish a report, within one year and excluding proprietary information, that analyzes the benefits, costs and a range of risks (legal, reputational, competitive and other relevant risks) associated with the company's charitable support. The proponent asserts that some corporate charitable relationships may align with controversial social campaigns (citing organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign) and that one-sided philanthropic support could alienate employees, customers and shareholders and harm brand value. The requested report is intended to provide shareholders with an assessment of whether charitable partnerships expose the company to material risks and to inform governance decisions on philanthropic strategy. Notable details include the proponent (The Heritage Foundation), specific focus on perceived ideological bias and references to coverage of gender-related healthcare policies raised in the supporting statement, and the requested one-year timeline for reporting.
