Regulation FD Disclosure


Item 2.02 and 7.01. Disclosure of Results of Operations and Financial
Condition/Regulation FD Disclosure (Furnished Pursuant to Items 2.02 and 7.01 of Form 8-K).

On October 28, 2008 Registrant issued an earnings release (the "Earnings Release") containing a discussion of Registrant's results of operations and financial condition for the third quarter ending September 30, 2008.

The Earnings Release contains financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles that the Registrant reported third quarter 2008 diluted earnings per share of $1.23.

The Earnings Release contains two statements on the Registrant's financial results that would not be presented in a GAAP statement of earnings to the effect that:

· The Outlook: "In the face of challenging conditions in financial markets and the economy, we are now forecasting earnings per share of $2.63 to $2.65 in 2008. The projection for this year excludes the restructuring charges, but includes the associated benefits. The forecast assumes earnings per share of $0.40 to $0.42 in the fourth quarter."

· Exhibit 3: Exhibit 3 presents adjusted operating results by segment, excluding the impact of the 2008 restructuring charges and the 2007 gain on the sale of a mutual fund data business.

The Registrant believes that the disclosure of this data provides useful supplemental information for meaningful comparisons of the Company's results.


Item 9.01. Exhibits.

(99) Earnings Release of the Registrant, dated October 28, 2008, containing a discussion of Registrant's results of operations and financial condition for the third quarter ending September 30, 2008.
