EXPLANATORY NOTE — DEREGISTRATION OF UNSOLD SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”), filed by Reis, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Number 333-203741) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on June 24, 2015 (the “Registration Statement”) pertaining to the registration of the securities described in the Registration Statement.

On August 29, 2018, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Moody’s Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Moody’s”), and Moody’s Analytics Maryland Corp., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Moody’s (“Offeror”), pursuant to which Moody’s would acquire the Company. On October 15, 2018, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, after completion of a tender offer by Offeror for the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.02 per share (the “Shares”), at a price of $23.00 per Share, net to the holder in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Offer Price”), Offeror merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Moody’s (the “Merger”). The Merger became effective on October 15, 2018 following the filing of the Articles of Merger with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of the State of Maryland (the “Effective Time”). At the Effective Time, among other things, each Share (other than any Shares held by Moody’s, any of Moody’s subsidiaries (including Offeror) or any subsidiary of the Company) was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price. In connection with the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

In accordance with the undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is being filed to remove from registration, as of the effectiveness of this post-effective amendment, any and all securities of the Company that are registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the effectiveness of this post-effective amendment, and to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
