This Amendment No. 4 (this Amendment) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Moodys Analytics Maryland Corp., a Maryland corporation (Purchaser), and Moodys Corporation, a Delaware corporation (Parent), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on September 13, 2018 (together with any subsequent amendments and supplements thereto, the Schedule TO). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Purchaser to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.02 par value per share (the Shares), of Reis, Inc., a Maryland corporation (Reis), at a price of $23.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 13, 2018 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the Offer to Purchase) and in the accompanying Letter of Transmittal (together with any amendments or supplements thereto and with the Offer to Purchase, the Offer), which are annexed to and filed with this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) and (a)(1)(B), respectively. Purchaser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. This Amendment is being filed on behalf of Parent and Purchaser. Unless otherwise indicated, references to sections in this Schedule TO are references to sections of the Offer to Purchase.
This Amendment also constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D (the Schedule 13D) filed jointly by Parent and Purchaser with the SEC on September 10, 2018 with respect to the Shares.
Amendments to the Schedule TO and the Schedule 13D
Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO and Item 5 of the Schedule 13D
The information set forth in Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, to the extent such items incorporate by reference the information contained in the Offer to Purchase, are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
At 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on October 12, 2018, the Offer expired. The Depositary advised Purchaser that, as of the expiration of the Offer, a total of 9,800,276 Shares (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered) were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, representing approximately 84.7% of the Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding for purposes of determining such percentage all Shares held by Reis, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries). In addition, the Depositary advised Purchaser that notices of guaranteed delivery have been delivered with respect to 41,983 additional Shares, representing approximately 0.4% of the outstanding Shares as of the expiration of the Offer (excluding for purposes of determining such percentage all Shares held by Reis, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries).
As of the expiration of the Offer, the number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfied the Minimum Tender Condition, and all other conditions to the Offer were satisfied. Immediately after the expiration of the Offer, Purchaser irrevocably accepted for purchase and payment, and will as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no more than one business day after the time at which it accepted) pay for all Shares tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered).
As a result of its acceptance of Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser now owns a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement without a meeting of Reiss stockholders in accordance with Section 3-106.1 of the Maryland General Corporations Law. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (excluding Shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered) will be automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive $23.00 per Share in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.
Following consummation of the Merger, the Shares will be delisted and will cease to trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Parent and Purchaser intend to take steps to cause the termination of the registration of the Shares under the Exchange Act and suspend all of Reiss reporting obligations under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable.
On October 15, 2018, Parent and Reis issued a joint press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached here as Exhibit (a)(5)(E) hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 12
Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following exhibit:
(a)(5)(E) Joint Press Release of Parent and Reis, dated October 15, 2018, announcing the expiration and results of the Offer.

Moodys and Reis Announce Successful Completion of Cash Tender Offer for Shares of Reis
NEW YORK, October 15, 2018 Moodys Corporation (NYSE:MCO) and Reis, Inc. (NASDAQ:REIS) announce today that Moodys wholly-owned subsidiary, Moodys Analytics Maryland Corp., successfully completed the previously announced tender offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Reis at a purchase price of $23.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.
The tender offer expired at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 12, 2018. The depositary for the tender offer has advised that as of the expiration of the tender offer, a total of 9,800,276 shares of common stock of Reis were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offer (excluding shares with respect to which notices of guaranteed delivery were delivered) representing approximately 84.7% of Reiss outstanding shares of common stock. All of such shares have been accepted for payment in accordance with the terms of the tender offer.
As a result of the tender offer, Moodys now indirectly owns a sufficient number of shares in Reis to complete a short-form merger under applicable Maryland law without stockholder approval. Upon completion of the merger, all outstanding shares of common stock of Reis other than shares held by Moodys, Moodys Analytics Maryland Corp., Reis, or any of their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries will be canceled and converted into the right to receive $23 per share in cash without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes. Moodys expects to complete the merger later today. In addition, in connection with the merger, the common stock of Reis will cease to be traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market.
