Global Market Intelligence announced today that it acquired the
full historical Asia Pacific
(APAC) transcript database, excluding Japan, from SCRIPTS Asia Inc., the leading

"We are excited about the significant expansion of our APAC
transcription and translation capabilities through this acquisition
of SCRIPTS Asia Inc.'s database." said Ed Chidsey, Head of Data Valuations and
Analytics at S&P Global Market Intelligence. "This is
a strategic deal, especially when coupled with the redistribution
agreement with SCRIPTS Asia K.K. for Japanese content, that serves
local customer needs and puts us at a meaningful competitive
advantage in the rapidly growing textual data and natural language
processing (NLP) market."
The SCRIPTS Asia dataset covers nearly 1,400 companies across
China, Hong Kong and South
Korea with records dating back to 2018, and features
coverage of small and medium-sized company events that have
previously been unavailable to investors due to language barriers.
Customers will now have access to earnings calls and other
corporate event transcripts in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and
other languages, in addition to translated versions in English.
"SCRIPTS Asia is delighted to announce this strategic
transaction with S&P Global Market Intelligence, which will
result in unparalleled coverage of investor events across
Asia Pacific," said Erik
Abbott, CEO of SCRIPTS Asia K.K. and Founder of
SCRIPTS Asia Inc. "Clients will benefit from expanded data
on key regional meetings and continued development of both
Japan and ex-Japan markets. Our agreement with S&P
Global Market Intelligence goes back to the earliest days of
SCRIPTS Asia, and we are pleased to extend this close relationship
to provide seamless delivery of complete Asia coverage to our combined worldwide client
base."
Following the transaction, S&P Global Market Intelligence
will now source, transcribe and translate corporate event coverage
for these companies in APAC, excluding Japan, with plans for further expansion in the
coming months. All content is available on S&P Global Market
Intelligence's data platforms, including Capital IQ Pro, Xpressfeed
and Snowflake.
In addition, through a long-term agreement with SCRIPTS Asia
K.K., a wholly owned subsidiary of JPX Market Innovation &
Research, Inc. and the provider of the Japanese content, S&P
Global Market Intelligence will continue to redistribute the
corporate event information in Japanese to its clients, covering
more than 1,100 companies in Japan. Existing SCRIPTS Asia K.K. clients will
also continue to receive ex-Japan
content provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence.
