ITEM 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On June 10, 2009, IHS, Inc. issued a media release to publicly reaffirm its previously announced financial guidance for fiscal year 2009.  The announcement, attached to this Form 8-K as an exhibit, was posted on the company’s website (www.ihs.com) and distributed to the media through a newswire release.

 

The financial guidance in the announcement included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from such statements.  These risks and uncertainties include those discussed or identified by IHS from time to time in its public filings.  A number of factors could cause the company’s actual results, performance, achievements, or industry results to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Due to these uncertainties and risks, readers of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the media release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of June 10, 2009.

 

IHS disclaims any duty to update guidance or any other forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events, actual results, or changes in the company’s expectations.

 

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.
