S&P reaches $1.38 billion settlement with U.S. government, states

(Reuters) - McGraw Hill Financial Inc and its Standard & Poor Ratings Services unit have reached a $1.38 billion settlement with the U.S. government and several states over ratings of mortgage-backed securities that went sour in the runup to the 2008 financial crisis.

McGraw Hill said it would pay $687.5 million to the U.S. Department of Justice and $687.5 million to 19 states and the District of Columbia.

The settlement contains no findings of violations of law by McGraw Hill or its ratings unit, the company said.
