other factors that may cause MSCI’s actual results, levels of
activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or

and value creation contemplated by the proposed merger; the
combined company’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate
the businesses of RiskMetrics and MSCI; and the diversion of
management time on merger-related issues.
Other factors that could materially affect MSCI’s actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements can be
found in MSCI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended November 30, 2009 and filed with the SEC on January 29, 2010
and in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on

may vary significantly from what MSCI projected. Any
forward-looking statement in this release reflects MSCI’s current
views with respect to future events and is subject to these and
other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to MSCI’s
