Exhibit 99.1

S&P Global Announces Commencement of $2,000,000,000 Private Offering of Senior Notes by Mobility Global Inc. Ahead of Planned Separation

NEW YORK, MAY 18, 2026 – S&P Global Inc. (“S&P Global”) (NYSE:SPGI), today announced the commencement

of a private offering of $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), senior notes

due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”) and senior notes due 2036 (the “2036 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes and

the 2031 Notes, the “Notes”) by Mobility Global Inc. (“Mobility Global” or the “Issuer”). The Issuer

is a recently formed holding company for S&P Global’s Mobility division, which S&P Global intends to separate from its

current business by means of a spin-off to its shareholders. The Issuer has also entered into a $500 million senior unsecured revolving

credit facility.

Upon completion of the separation, the Issuer intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, after deducting discounts and commissions

to the initial purchasers, to finance a cash payment to S&P Global as consideration for the transfer of certain assets, liabilities

and entities to the Issuer, and the Issuer will use any remaining proceeds to fund estimated fees and expenses and for general corporate

purposes. Net proceeds of the offering will be deposited into escrow for the benefit of the holders of the Notes pending satisfaction

of certain conditions related to the completion of the separation.

The Notes are being offered for sale to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in an offering exempt from registration

pursuant to Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to persons outside the

United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered

or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements

of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation

of an offer to buy any security and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offering, solicitation

or sale would be unlawful. This press release is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.

The Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Issuer will agree to use commercially

reasonable efforts to file a registration statement to exchange the Notes for new notes registered under the Securities Act, or under

certain circumstances, to file a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the Notes.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains “forward-looking statements,” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These statements, which express management’s current views concerning future events, trends, contingencies or results, appear at

various places in this press release and use words like “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,”

“estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,”

“potential,” “predict,” “project,” “strategy,” “target” and similar terms,

and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will”

and “would.” For example, management may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the outcome of contingencies;

future actions by regulators; changes in the business strategies and methods of generating revenue of S&P Global Inc. (the “Company”);

the development and performance of the Company’s services and products; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; the

Company’s effective tax rates; the Company’s cost structure, dividend policy, cash flows or liquidity; and the anticipated

separation of S&P Global Mobility (“Mobility”) into a standalone public company.

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially

from those expressed or implied in forward-looking statements include, among other things:

· worldwide economic, financial, political, and regulatory conditions (including slower GDP growth or recession, restrictions

on trade (e.g., tariffs), instability in the banking sector and inflation), and factors that contribute to uncertainty and volatility

(e.g., supply chain risk), geopolitical uncertainty (including military conflict), natural and man-made disasters, civil unrest, public

health crises (e.g., pandemics), and conditions that result from legislative, regulatory, trade and policy changes, including from the

U.S. administration;

· the volatility and health of debt, equity, commodities, energy and automotive markets, including credit quality and

spreads, the composition and mix of credit maturity profiles, the level of liquidity and future debt issuances, equity flows from active

to passive, fluctuations in average asset prices in global equities, demand for investment products that track indices and assessments

and trading volumes of certain exchange traded derivatives;

· the demand and market for credit ratings in and across the sectors and geographies where the Company operates;

· the Company’s ability to maintain adequate physical, technical and administrative safeguards to protect the security

of confidential information and data, or protect against a system or network disruption that results in regulatory penalties and remedial

costs or improper disclosure of confidential information or data;

· the outcome of litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries;

· concerns in the marketplace affecting the Company’s credibility or otherwise affecting market perceptions of

the integrity or utility of independent credit ratings, benchmarks, indices and other services;

· the level of merger and acquisition activity in the United States and abroad;

· the level of the Company’s future cash flows and capital investments;

· the effect of competitive products (including those incorporating artificial intelligence (“AI”)) and pricing, including

the level of success of new product developments and global expansion;

· the impact of customer cost-cutting pressures;

· a decline in the demand for our products and services by our customers and other market participants;

· our ability to develop new products or technologies, to integrate our products with new technologies (e.g., AI), or

to compete with new products or technologies offered by new or existing competitors;

· the introduction of competing products (including those developed by AI) or technologies by other companies;

· our ability to protect our intellectual property from unauthorized use and infringement, including by others using

AI technologies, and to operate our business without violating third-party intellectual property rights, including through our own use

of AI in our products and services;

· our ability to attract, incentivize and retain key employees, especially in a competitive business environment;

· our ability to successfully navigate key organizational changes;

· the continuously evolving regulatory environment in Europe, the United States and elsewhere around the globe affecting

each of our businesses and the products they offer, and our compliance therewith;

· the Company’s exposure to potential criminal sanctions or civil penalties for noncompliance with foreign and

U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable in the jurisdictions in which it operates, including sanctions laws relating to countries

such as Iran, Russia and Venezuela, anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act of 2010,

and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials, as well as import and export restrictions;

· the Company’s ability to make acquisitions and dispositions and successfully integrate the businesses we acquire;

· consolidation of the Company’s customers, suppliers or competitors;

· the ability of the Company, and its third-party service providers, to maintain adequate physical and technological

infrastructure;

· the Company’s ability to successfully recover from a disaster or other business continuity problem, such as an

earthquake, hurricane, flood, civil unrest, protests, military conflict, terrorist attack, outbreak of pandemic or contagious diseases,

security breach, cyber attack, data breach, power loss, telecommunications failure or other natural or man-made event;

· the impact on the Company’s revenue and net income caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

· the impact of changes in applicable tax or accounting requirements on the Company;

· the separation of Mobility not being consummated within the anticipated time period or at all;

· the ability of the separation of Mobility to qualify for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

· any disruption to the Company’s business in connection with the proposed separation of Mobility;

· any loss of synergies from separating the businesses of Mobility and the Company that adversely impact the results

of operations of both businesses, or the companies resulting from the separation of Mobility not realizing all of the expected benefits

of the separation; and

· following the separation of Mobility, the combined value of the common stock of the two publicly-traded companies not

being equal to or greater than the value of the Company’s common stock had the separation not occurred.

The factors noted above are not exhaustive. The Company and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks

emerge frequently. Accordingly, the Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak

only as of the dates on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to

reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made, except as required by applicable law. Further information

about the Company’s businesses, including information about factors that could materially affect its results of operations and

financial condition, is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including Item 1A, Risk Factors in our most recently

filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
