EX-10.1

Exhibit 10.1

Executive Separation and Release Agreement

This Executive Separation and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into between you and S&P Global Inc. (the “Company”), as of September 18, 2026, and is intended to memorialize the terms of your voluntary separation of employment from the Company, and your entitlement to certain payments and benefits pursuant to that certain Letter Agreement, by and between you and the Company, dated December 11, 2020, as amended on July 25, 2023 (the “Letter Agreement”).

1.Separation Date. You will continue to serve as the Chief Legal Officer through such time as a successor Chief Legal Officer has commenced employment with the Company, after which you will cease to serve as an officer of the Company and any of its affiliates. Thereafter, you will serve as a Special Advisor to the Chief Executive Officer and to the newly appointed Chief Legal Officer, performing only such duties and responsibilities as specifically directed by either of them. The last day you will be required to report to work will be December 31, 2026 (your “Separation Date”). You will continue to receive your base salary and benefits in effect as of the date of this Agreement until your Separation Date, when your employment will terminate, subject to the conditions of Section 2. The Company may, in its discretion, direct you to cease reporting to work at an earlier date, but will continue your base salary and benefits as described above through your Separation Date (i.e., convert working notice to non-working notice). After your Separation Date, you will receive any payments to which you are entitled as a matter of law or pursuant to any applicable policies of the Company or any of its affiliates (collectively, the “Company Group”) as may be in effect from time to time, whether or not you execute this Agreement (your “Accrued Benefits”). Payment of your Accrued Benefits will be made in a timely manner as required by applicable law.

2.Separation Benefits. Contingent on: (i) you not resigning your employment through the Separation Date; and (ii) your execution and non-revocation of this Agreement and your re-signature and non-revocation of such re-signature of this Agreement on or within ten business days following the Separation Date, as consideration for your waiver, discharge and general release of all claims, as provided in Section 6, you will be entitled to the compensation and benefits described in the Schedule of Separation Pay and Benefits attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Separation Pay and Benefits”), paid at the time and in the manner set forth in that schedule.

3.Consideration and Rights. You understand and agree that (i) you would not receive the specific Separation Pay and Benefits provided for under this Agreement (other than your Accrued Benefits) except for your execution of this Agreement and your compliance with any terms and conditions specified herein; and (ii) the consideration provided in this Agreement in excess of your Accrued Benefits exceeds any sums or benefits to which you would otherwise be entitled under any applicable policy, plan and/or procedure of the Company or any previous agreement or understanding between you and the Company Group. Further, you acknowledge and agree that you do not possess any claim or allegation, either asserted or otherwise, involving harassment or

1

discrimination, that may be subject to or covered under N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 5003-b and N.Y. General Obligations Law § 5-336.

As described further in Sections 15 and 16, you have the right under Federal law to certain protections for cooperating with or reporting possible legal violations to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and/or its Office of the Whistleblower, as well as certain other governmental entities, as well as for internally reporting information that you reasonably believe relates to a possible violation of the securities laws. Nothing in this Agreement, in other Company Group documents or policies or otherwise are intended to prohibit you from disclosing this Agreement to, or from cooperating with or reporting violations to, the SEC or any other such governmental entity, and you may do so without disclosure or prior notice to or approval by the Company. The Company Group may not retaliate against you for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement would require you to waive any monetary award or other payment that you might become entitled to from the SEC or any other governmental entity.

Further, nothing in this Agreement precludes you from filing a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, National Labor Relations Board, or a like charge or complaint with a state or local fair employment practice agency. However, once this Agreement becomes effective, you may not receive a monetary award or any other form of personal relief from the Company Group in connection with any such charge or complaint that you filed or is filed on your behalf.

4.Review Period.

(a)You are hereby given twenty-one (21) days from the date you receive the initial version of this Agreement to consider the terms of this Agreement and to decide whether or not to sign and return this Agreement (the “Return Period”). The Company may, in its sole discretion, agree in writing to extend the Return Period. If you do not sign this Agreement by the end of the Return Period, it will automatically be deemed null and void (other than with respect to your rights under Sections 15 and 16) and it will not impose any obligation on the Company Group or you. You may decide to sign this Agreement in less than twenty-one (21) days if you wish.

(b)In addition, as set forth in Section 2 above, the Separation Pay and Benefits provided in Section 2 above are conditioned on you re-signing this Agreement within ten business (10) days following the Separation Date.

(c)To accept this Agreement, please electronically sign where indicated below, within twenty-one (21) days after the date hereof.

(d)If you timely sign this Agreement as provided above, you will have seven (7) days after signing this Agreement to change your mind and revoke your acceptance of this Agreement (“Revocation Period”). If you timely re-sign this Agreement as provided above, you will have an additional seven (7) days after re-signing to revoke that signature. Such revocation of the re-signature will not eliminate the effectiveness of

2

the release accepted by the initial signing of this Agreement, but will eliminate the effectiveness of the re-signature of the release, and will result in your ineligibility for the Separation Pay and Benefits described in Section 2 above. If you wish to revoke your decision, you must do so by timely delivering written notice of your revocation by email to: [***].

(e)For your notice of revocation to be effective, it must state that you are revoking your acceptance of this Agreement, or, revoking your re-signing of the Agreement. If you revoke your acceptance of this Agreement during the Revocation Period following your initial signature, the Agreement will be deemed null and void (other than with respect to your rights under Sections 15 and 16) and it will not impose any obligation on the Company Group or you, and you will not be entitled to receive or retain any of the payments or benefits described in this Agreement.

5.Effective Date. If you timely sign or re-sign this Agreement and do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, it will become effective on the eighth (8th) day after you sign the Agreement (the “Effective Date” of this Agreement). Your re-signature will become effective on the eighth (8th) day after you re-sign the Agreement (the “Commencement Date”).

6.Release. In return for the consideration furnished to you by the Company, as set forth in Section 2 and the other consideration furnished to you pursuant to this Agreement, you hereby discharge and generally release the Company Group, its successors, predecessors and assigns and their current and former directors, officers and employees, both individually and in their corporate capacities (hereafter collectively known as the “S&P Global Releasees”) from all claims, causes of action, suits, agreements, and damages which you may have now or in the future against the S&P Global Releasees for any act, omission or event occurring up to and including the date on which you sign and the date you re-sign this Agreement, including but not limited to, any claims or causes of action you ever had, now have or could have, without limitation, pursuant to: (i) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Labor Management Relations Act (the Taft-Hartley Act), each as amended; the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, 18 U.S.C.

By executing this Agreement, you hereby agree that you will not initiate or maintain any proceeding in any judicial forum relating to any matters covered by this Agreement. This release, however, shall not apply to any rights of indemnification and/or advancement you may have, and the performance of the Company’s express obligations to you under this Agreement. Both you and the Company may institute an action to specifically enforce any term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive or release your vested rights under ERISA with regard to any tax qualified plan, any rights to unemployment insurance benefits or vested retirement benefits, nor any existing rights of defense (including advancement) and indemnity or liability insurance coverage.

7.The Company hereby confirms, represents and warrants that it does not currently have knowledge of any actions, omissions or circumstances that would give rise to any claims, causes of action, suits and damages which it may have against you.

8.No Other Compensation. By signing this Agreement, you represent and affirm that (i) you have been paid and/or have received all compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions, and/or benefits to which you are entitled as of the Effective Date, (ii) no other compensation, wages, bonuses, commissions and/or benefits are due to you as of the Effective Date, except as provided for in this Agreement or as required by applicable law, and (iii) you will not be entitled to participate in any past, present or future employee benefit programs or arrangements of any member of the Company Group on or after the Separation Date, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement or as required by applicable law.

9.Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of the benefits provided to you under this Agreement, you hereby reaffirm and acknowledge your post-employment obligations under the agreements you have already entered into with the Company Group, including, without limitation, those restrictive covenants set forth in your Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements and Performance Share Unit Award Agreements.

4

10.Confidentiality of Agreement. Except as provided in Sections 15 and 16, you hereby agree that the terms of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement concerning payment to you of any monies or concerning the provision to you of any other benefits, as well as the information in any and all Attachments to this Agreement, but excluding your restrictive covenants, shall be kept confidential by you and shall not be disclosed to any third party, unless authorized by the Company, except that you may disclose such information to your attorney(s), your tax advisor(s) and your spouse or significant other, or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement. You agree to request any permitted third party recipient of any such information to maintain the confidentiality of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

11.Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, including in Sections 15 and 16, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information received by you while an employee of the Company Group, including all information which you know or should know the Company Group treats as confidential and all information not known to third parties engaged in the same or a similar business as the Company Group or that gives the Company Group a competitive advantage, including but not limited to trade secrets. All records, files, documents, software, mobile devices, equipment, plans, policies, and other like materials relating to the Company Group, or received by you in the course of your employment shall remain the sole property of the Company and shall not be copied or turned over to any third party and shall be returned by you to the Company Group at the time specified by the Company, but in no event later than the Separation Date. You also understand and agree that because you may be subject to a legal hold/notice to preserve documents and this obligation continues after your employment at the Company ends, you will not delete or destroy any of these materials. Notwithstanding the confidentiality terms of this Agreement, nothing herein prevents you from disclosing a trade secret (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (b) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, nothing in this Agreement prevents you, in connection with a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, from disclosing a trade secret to your attorney or from using trade secret information in the court proceeding, as long as you file any document containing a trade secret under seal and do not disclose a trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

12.Cooperation. With respect to any pending or future litigation or investigations involving the Company Group, to the extent you have information or background about them, at the request of the Company, you agree to appear and give testimony at depositions and at trial or other proceedings related to such matters, and you agree to provide reasonable cooperation in providing information and addressing such matters. The Company Group shall reimburse you for your reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, actually incurred by you in connection with your cooperation. Except as provided in Sections 15 and 16, you agree to promptly notify the Company’s Legal Department in writing within three (3) days if you are contacted by or on behalf of anyone suing or contemplating suit against the Company Group or otherwise seeking information about your work at the Company Group for such purposes. In the event your cooperation

5

might reasonably require conferring with and/or retaining counsel, the Company shall advance such reasonable fees or make mutually acceptable, non-conflicted counsel available to you at its cost.

13.Notice of Process. Except as provided in Sections 15 and 16, if you are contacted by, or on behalf of, anyone who has filed a lawsuit, or you are subpoenaed or noticed or you consent to testify under oath in a lawsuit with regard to any matter having to do with the Company Group, then you agree to notify the Company’s Office of the General Counsel, S&P Global Inc., 55 Water Street New York, New York 10041, [***], in writing within seventy-two (72) hours of such event, and with such notification you will provide a copy of any legal papers, notice or subpoena received, unless such notification or provision is prohibited by law or by order of a court.

14.Breach. In the event that you breach Sections 9 or 11 of this Agreement, the Company will provide, within thirty (30) days of its discovery of such alleged breach, written or email notice to you of such breach and you will have a period of thirty (30) days to cure such breach, to the extent curable. If you fail to cure such breach (or such breach is not curable), (i) you shall forfeit any unpaid Separation Pay and Benefits, (ii) you shall be required to repay to the Company the sum equal to any separation payments (including the value of any distributions of long-term incentive awards as of the time of such distribution) already made to you under Section 2, and (iii) the Company Group shall be entitled to pursue any other relief legally available and without limiting the rights, remedies or causes of action the Company Group may have now or in the future.

(a)report or otherwise respond to or cooperate with an investigation into possible violations of state or federal laws or regulations that have occurred, are occurring, or are about to occur and that may involve the jurisdiction of any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the U.S. Congress, the Department of Justice, the SEC and/or its Office of the Whistleblower (www.sec.gov/whistleblower; Office of the Whistleblower Hotline at 202-551-4790), any other similar office of a federal or state agency, the Inspector General of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other governmental agency that investigates or enforces employment discrimination laws;

18.No Admission of Liability. You agree that neither the existence of this Agreement nor the obligation to pay consideration for the release of all claims, as provided in this Agreement, nor any other provision of this Agreement, shall be considered an admission by the Company Group of any liability, violation of law, error or omission.

19.Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its Attachments, sets forth the entire understanding of the parties concerning its subject matter, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, memoranda, representations and agreements, including, without limitation, the Letter Agreement. The payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement are in full satisfaction of any rights you have under the Letter Agreement and the Company shall have no further obligations to you under the Letter Agreement after giving effect to this Agreement. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any representations, promises, or agreements of any kind made to you in connection with your decision to accept this Agreement, except for those set forth in this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a written instrument that specifically refers to this Agreement and which is signed by both you and an officer of the Company.

(b)If any provision other than the general release set out in Section 6 of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable and cannot be modified to be made enforceable, then such provision will be distinct and severable from the other provisions of this Agreement, and such unenforceability will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Without limiting the foregoing, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, no payment under this Agreement that constitutes “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and that is provided on account of your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be made or commenced prior to the date that is six months following your “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code from the Company Group; providedthat, amounts that, but for this Section 21, were otherwise payable to you prior to such date shall, to the extent unpaid as of such date, be paid to you on or within 30 days after such date in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices in effect from time to time.

23.Signature. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, which together shall constitute a single Agreement. This Agreement may be executed and transmitted to any other party electronically, which shall be deemed to be, and utilized in all respects as, an originally executed document.
