Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 20, 2024, Moody’s Corporation (the “Company”) granted strategic incentive awards to the presidents of the Company’s business units and certain other key business unit executives to further motivate and incentivize the upper-ranks of management to meet or exceed various challenging medium-term growth targets. The awards to the Presidents of Moody’s Analytics (“MA”) and Moody’s Investors Service (“MIS”), the MA and MIS Growth Accelerator Awards, with a grant date value of $10 million and $5 million, respectively, are composed of 67% performance share units and 33% stock options. The performance share units will vest based on achievement of each business unit’s respective performance goals (annualized recurring revenue growth and adjusted operating margin for MA and adjusted operating margin for MIS) over a four-year period ending on December 31, 2027 and the stock options vest 50% after two years and the remaining 50% after four years. Successful execution against the performance goals is intended to create significant incremental earnings and intrinsic value for Moody’s stockholders.

In addition, based on information regarding competitive market pay and expectations around realized and realizable compensation, the Company granted strategic incentive awards (performance share retention grants) to certain key personnel, including executives other than the Chief Executive Officer and the Presidents of MA and MIS. The awards, which are intended to promote retention and reinforce the achievement of certain financial and strategic goals, are entirely performance-based, consisting of performance share units that can be earned over a 24 month period ending on December 31, 2025.
