Let's recall that the lawsuit targeted IHS Markit Ltd and the members of its Board of Directors. They were accused of violations of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 78n(a), 78t(a), and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Rule 14a-9, 17 C.F.R. § 240.14a-9. These alleged violations arise out of IHS Markit's attempt to merge with S&P Global Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Sapphire Subsidiary, Ltd.
