OREANDA-NEWS. IHS (NYSE: IHS) and Markit (NASDAQ: MRKT) today released the following statement regarding the Department of Treasury Notice issued late yesterday: 

"IHS and Markit, together with their respective advisors, have conducted a preliminary review of the new U.S. Treasury rules released late yesterday, and we expect that the new rules would not result in the IHS Markit merger-of-equals transaction being subject to U.S. Code 7874. 

"Based on our preliminary review at this time, we also believe that the other U.S. Treasury rule changes will not impact the combined company's adjusted effective tax rate guidance of a low to mid-twenties percentage range."
