Comey was informed. It turns out that Comey kept copies illegally in his safe for 2 years thereafter until investigated, and he never informed the IC about the copies he had which is mandated by law at the point that he was informed that they are classified.
But in a technical sense, since these obviously classified documents were created by him secretly, they had no opportunity to officially be classified yet at the time he leaked them.
