Other Events.

On March 6, 2025, Verisk Analytics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company and BofA Securities, Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters $700,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.250% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “Securities”). The Securities, which were offered and sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, are registered pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-270827), filed on March 24, 2023.

On March 11, 2025, the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) entered into a fifth supplemental indenture to the Base Indenture (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture,” and the together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), providing for the issuance of the Securities.

The Securities bear interest at 5.250% per annum and will mature on March 15, 2035. Interest on the Securities is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year beginning September 15, 2025. At any time and from time to time prior to December 15, 2034, the Company may redeem the Securities, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price as described in the Indenture. At any time and from time to time on or after December 15, 2034, the Company may redeem some or all of the Securities at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date as described in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains certain restrictions, including a limitation that restricts the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to incur liens and enter into sale and leaseback transactions. The Indenture also restricts the ability of the Company to consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of their assets, and requires the Company to offer to repurchase the notes of either series upon certain change of control events.

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1, the Base Indenture, which was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 6, 2019, and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of the Securities attached thereto), which is filed herewith as Exhibit 4.1, each incorporated by reference herein.
