Item 8.01.   Other Events.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of IHS Inc. (the “Corporation”) was held on April 26, 2007.  Matters submitted to shareholders at the meeting and the voting results thereof were as follows:

Election of Directors. The shareholders of the Corporation elected each of the director nominees proposed by the Corporation’s Board of Directors to serve until the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.  The following is a breakdown of the voting results:

 

Appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Independent Auditor.  The shareholders of the Corporation ratified the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Corporation’s independent auditor.  The following is a breakdown of the voting results:

 

Tabulation of Voting Results.  The voting results include all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock eligible to vote as of the record date.  Holders of our Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders.  Our certificate of incorporation provides that, so long as any shares of the Class B Common Stock are outstanding, no person or entity is permitted, without the approval of the board of directors, to vote more than 79.9% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote.  We determined that TBG Holdings NV (“TBG”), a Netherlands-Antilles company, is the indirect sole owner of one shareholder, thus giving TBG in excess of 79.9% of voting power.  In tabulating final voting results, we limited the vote of entities affiliated with TBG to 79.9% of voting power and allocated the excess voting power to the other shareholders on a pro rata basis.
