CALCULATION OF FILING FEE
| Transaction Valuation* | Amount of Filing Fee** | |
$277,981,972.00 | $34,608.76 |
| * | Estimated for purposes of calculating the filing fee only. The transaction valuation was calculated as the sum of (i) 11,569,699 shares of common stock, par value $0.02 per share (the “Shares”), of Reis, Inc. (“Reis”) outstanding (which excludes 2,557,456 Shares that are wholly-owned by subsidiaries of Reis, and that will not be tendered in the Offer (as defined below)) multiplied by $23.00, (ii) 245,000 Shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options with an exercise price less than the price of $23.00 per share, multiplied by $14.12 (which is the price of $23.00 minus the weighted average exercise price for such options of $8.88 per share) and (iii) 366,065 Shares subject to issuance pursuant to outstanding Reis restricted stock units multiplied by $23.00. The calculation of the filing fee is based on information provided by Reis as of August 24, 2018. |
| ** | The filing fee was calculated in accordance with Rule0-11 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Fee Rate Advisory No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2018, effective October 1, 2017, by multiplying the transaction value by 0.0001245. |

This Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Moody’s Analytics Maryland Corp., a Maryland corporation (“Purchaser”), and Moody’s 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.
Amendments to the Offer to Purchase
Items 1 through 11.
The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under “The Tender Offer—Section 15—Certain Legal Matters; Regulatory Approvals” and 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 by replacing in its entirety the paragraph entitled “Legal Proceedings Relating to the Tender Offer” which begins on page 50 of the Offer to Purchase with the following:
“Legal Proceedings Relating to the Tender Offer.
On September 25, 2018, a putative stockholder of Reis filed a putative class action lawsuit against Reis, its directors, Parent and Purchaser (the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captionedScarantino v. Reis Inc., et al., Case No.1:18-cv-08780 (the “Action”). The Action alleges that the Defendants violated the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 insofar as the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on September 13, 2018 allegedly omits material information that purportedly renders the filing false and misleading. The Action seeks as relief, among other things, injunctive relief, rescissory damages, declaratory judgment, and an award of plaintiffs’ fees and expenses. If additional similar complaints are filed, absent new or different allegations that are material, Parent and Purchaser will not necessarily announce such additional filings.
On October 8, 2018, Richard Scarantino (“Plaintiff”) filed a stipulation of dismissal for the Action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). It is expected that Plaintiff’s individual claims will be dismissed with prejudice and his claims asserted on behalf of a purported class of Reis stockholders will be dismissed without prejudice. The stipulation notes that Plaintiff’s counsel intends to assert a claim for mootness fees and expenses in connection with the Action and to seek court intervention if the parties cannot resolve such claim, and Defendants have reserved all rights in response. Notwithstanding the provision by Reis of the additional disclosure in its Amendment No. 3 to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, nothing in this amendment shall be deemed an admission by the Defendants of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein, and the Defendants specifically deny all allegations in the Action that any additional disclosure was or is required.”
SIGNATURE
After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
