    Disclaimer

    Certain statements contained in this release are forward-looking statements and are based on future expectations, plans and prospects for the business and operations of Moody’s Corporation (the “Company”)

    that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Such statements may include, among other words, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “will”, “predict”, “potential”, “continue”, “strategy”, “aspire”,

    “target”, “forecast”, “project”, “estimate”, “should”, “could”, “may” and similar expressions or words and variations thereof that convey the prospective nature of events or outcomes generally indicative of forward-

    looking statements. The forward-looking statements and other information in this release are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation (nor does it intend) to publicly supplement,

    update or revise such statements on a going-forward basis, whether as a result of subsequent developments, changed expectations or otherwise, except as required by applicable law or regulation. In connection

    with the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company is identifying examples of factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ, perhaps

    materially, from those indicated by these forward-looking statements. Those factors, risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the impact of COVID-19 on volatility in the U.S. and world financial

    markets, on general economic conditions and GDP growth in the U.S. and worldwide, and on the Company’s own operations and personnel. Many other factors could cause actual results to differ from Moody’s

    outlook, including credit market disruptions or economic slowdowns, which could affect the volume of debt and other securities issued in domestic and/or global capital markets; other matters that could affect the

    volume of debt and other securities issued in domestic and/or global capital markets, including regulation, credit quality concerns, changes in interest rates and other volatility in the financial markets such as that

    due to uncertainty as companies transition away from LIBOR and Brexit; the level of merger and acquisition activity in the U.S. and abroad; the uncertain effectiveness and possible collateral consequences of

    U.S. and foreign government actions affecting credit markets, international trade and economic policy, including those related to tariffs and trade barriers; concerns in the marketplace affecting our credibility or

    otherwise affecting market perceptions of the integrity or utility of independent credit agency ratings; the introduction of competing products or technologies by other companies; pricing pressure from competitors

    and/or customers; the level of success of new product development and global expansion; the impact of regulation as an NRSRO, the potential for new U.S., state and local legislation and regulations, including

    provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank”) and regulations resulting from Dodd-Frank; the potential for increased competition and regulation in the EU and other

    foreign jurisdictions; exposure to litigation related to Moody’s Investors Service’s rating opinions, as well as any other litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries to which the

    Company may be subject from time to time; provisions in the Dodd-Frank legislation modifying the pleading standards, and EU regulations modifying the liability standards, applicable to credit rating agencies in a

    manner adverse to credit rating agencies; provisions of EU regulations imposing additional procedural and substantive requirements on the pricing of services and the expansion of supervisory remit to include

    non-EU ratings used for regulatory purposes; the possible loss of key employees; failures or malfunctions of our operations and infrastructure; any vulnerabilities to cyber threats or other cybersecurity concerns;

    the outcome of any review by controlling tax authorities of the Company’s global tax planning initiatives; exposure to potential criminal sanctions or civil remedies if the Company fails to comply with foreign and

    U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, including data protection and privacy laws, sanctions laws, anti-corruption laws, and local laws prohibiting corrupt

    payments to government officials; the impact of mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations and the ability of the Company to successfully integrate such acquired businesses; currency and foreign

    exchange volatility; the level of future cash flows; the levels of capital investments; and a decline in the demand for credit risk management tools by financial institutions. These factors, risks and uncertainties as

    well as other risks and uncertainties that could cause Moody’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed, projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements are

    currently, or in the future could be, amplified by the COVID-19 outbreak and are described in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended

    December 31, 2019, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and in other filings made by the Company from time to time with the SEC or in materials incorporated herein or therein.

    Stockholders and investors are cautioned that the occurrence of any of these factors, risks and uncertainties may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated, expressed,

    projected, anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements, which could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. New factors may

    emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict new factors, nor can the Company assess the potential effect of any new factors on it.

    The Benefits of a Moody’s Rating

    Investors seek our opinions and

    particularly value the knowledge of our

    analysts and the depth of our research.

    Wider access

    to capital

    Tangible

    financing benefits

    Planning

    and budgeting

    Transparency,

    credit comparison

    and market stability

    Responsive to

    investor demand

    Moody’s opinions on

    credit are broadly used

    by institutional investors

    throughout the world, making an

    issuer’s debt more attractive to a

    wider range of potential buyers

    The credibility of

    Moody’s ratings may

    allow rated issuers to

    enter the capital markets

    more economically

    through a lower cost

    of capital

    Helps issuers formulate

    internal capital plans

    and funding strategies

    Signals a willingness

    by issuers to be transparent

    and provides issuers

    with an independent assessment

    against which to compare

    their own creditworthiness

    Moody’s ratings are

    the most used by investors,

    (when multiple agencies are

    used), who have acknowledged

    our track record of accuracy

    Note: *Regulation has been delayed/ cancelled to allow banks to focus their resources on navigating the coronavirus pandemic - please see below for details

    OSFI has delayed the Net Stable Funding Ratio Return (DT1) – formal reporting from Q3 2020 to Q1 2021. The FED has extended by 18 months the initial compliance dates under the single-counterparty credit limit (SCCL) rule, for bank holding companies and foreign banking

    organizations. The EBA communicated new deadlines within which it plans to implement certain elements of the Capital Requirements Directive and Regulation (CRD 5 and CRR 2) and the amended Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD 2). This pushes out Integrated Reporting

    and ALMM elements of the package to 2021, but leaves many elements still to happen in 2020. Delays noted in last quarters report; Basel IV, G-SIB, EU-wide Stress Test and APRA delays APS 220 on credit risk management
