ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Human Resources Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of IHS Markit Ltd. (the "Company") previously approved for fiscal year 2020: (i) base salaries for the Company's named executive officers (including, in certain cases, base salary adjustments effective March 1, 2020) (each a "2020 Unadjusted Salary" and collectively the "2020 Unadjusted Salaries") and (ii) their fiscal year 2020 target cash incentive amounts (as a percentage of base salary) under the Company's 2020 Cash Incentive Plan (the "2020 Unadjusted Cash Incentive Targets").
In March 2020, in response to COVID-19's potential adverse financial impact on the Company, at the request of the named executive officers, the Committee approved certain reductions to the compensation of the named executive officers for the remainder of 2020 and 2021, to be effective April 1, 2020, and in July 2020 approved adjustments to those reductions effective August 1, 2020.
On October 14, 2020, the Committee approved reverting the base salaries for the named executive officers to their 2020 Unadjusted Salaries, effective November 1, 2020 and going forward (other than Mr. Hyatt, whose compensation has not changed further from what was disclosed by the Company in the current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 17, 2020). No further changes were made to the 2020 target cash incentive amounts for the named executive officers.
The salary for each named executive officer to be effective as of November 1, 2020 and going forward is set forth in the table below.
