Oct 1, 2026Girish Ganesan had 103 shares ($40K) withheld by the company for taxes (not a market sale). That is 4.2% of the total stake held that day. 186 shares came in from vesting or option exercises the same day, so the holding rose by 83 net.

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.

Is this normal? Less than usual: no sales, against a 5-year average of 58K shares a year. 0 insiders sold; the average is 6 a year. Year by year

25 of 26 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (25 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). For 1 we show sales but not holdings; the ! icon on that row explains why. Percentages cover 19 of 26 officers and directors. Left out: William Eager (holdings couldn't be fully reconciled); Ian Livingston, Gregory Washington, Eric Aboaf, Catherine Clay, Robert Moritz Jr. and Firdaus Bhathena (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

Is this normal? Selling year by year5 earlier years to compare with

Less than usual: no sales, against a 5-year average of 58K shares a year. 0 insiders sold; the average is 6 a year.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

Known gaps and uncertainty1 insider whose holdings couldn't be fully reconciled

William Eager: holdings couldn't be fully reconciled (difference of -2,499 shares). Balance changed with no matching transaction and no footnote: -2,522.025 shares on Dec 31, 2025 (Direct). Filing, Dec 31, 2025

Inferred rename: "Son" is treated as the same holder as "Son 1", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (2 shares). Old name, new name

Inferred rename: "Adam J. Kansler 2022 GRAT" is treated as the same holder as "GRAT", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (23,749 shares). Old name, new name

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology1,274 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 1,274 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for S&P Global (SEC CIK 64040) from Nov 22, 2002 to Oct 5, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 34 older filings exist only on paper and could not be read.

Probable 2-for-1 stock split on or before May 17, 2005 (split date stated in a footnote). Splits aren't reported as transactions; 20 holding lines changed by exactly this ratio, so earlier share counts are restated.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
