ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On June 23, 2015, IHS Inc., a Delaware corporation ("IHS" or "we" or "us" or "our"), issued a media release announcing earnings for the second quarter ended May 31, 2015. The media release has been furnished with this Form 8-K as an exhibit and posted on our website (www.ihs.com). In addition, the media release has been distributed through a newswire release.
This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
On June 23, 2015, we also announced that our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to $500 million of our Class A common stock (the "June 2015 Program"). We may repurchase shares in open market purchases or through privately negotiated transactions in compliance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The June 2015 Program does not obligate us to repurchase any set dollar amount or number of shares and is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2017, but may be suspended at any time at our discretion. The amount authorized under the June 2015 Program is inclusive of share repurchases of our Class A common stock surrendered by employees in an amount equal to the statutory tax liability associated with the vesting of their equity awards, for which we pay the statutory tax on behalf of the employee, as previously approved by our board of directors.
The announcement of the share repurchase program is included in the media release announcing our second quarter earnings attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein. This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
