Black Knight, Inc., through our subsidiaries, is a leading provider of software, data and analytics solutions to the mortgage and consumer loan, real estate and capital market verticals. Our solutions facilitate and automate many of the mission-critical business processes across the homeownership lifecycle, from origination until asset disposition. We believe we differentiate ourselves by the breadth and depth of our comprehensive, integrated solutions and the insight we provide to our clients.

We have market-leading software solutions combined with comprehensive real estate data and extensive analytic capabilities. Our solutions are utilized by U.S. mortgage originators and servicers, as well as other financial institutions, investors and real estate professionals, to support mortgage lending and servicing operations, analyze portfolios and properties, operate more efficiently, meet regulatory compliance requirements and mitigate risk.

Except as otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, all references to Black Knight, the Company, we, us or our (1) prior to the Spin-Off (as described below), are to Black Knight Financial Services, Inc., or BKFS and its subsidiaries, and (2) after the Spin-Off are to Black Knight, Inc. and our subsidiaries.

Our History. Our business generally represents a reorganization of the former Technology, Data and Analytics segment of Lender Processing Services, Inc., or LPS, a former provider of integrated technology, data and services to the mortgage industry in the United States that Fidelity National Financial, Inc., or FNF, acquired in January 2014. ServiceLink Holdings, LLC, or ServiceLink, a majority-owned subsidiary of FNF, operates the Transaction Services businesses of the former LPS as well as FNF's legacy ServiceLink businesses. We were a majority-owned subsidiary of FNF prior to the Spin-Off described below.

Prior to the Spin-Off, BKFS was a holding company and our sole asset was our interest in, and our business was conducted through, Black Knight Financial Services, LLC, or BKFS LLC, and its subsidiaries. BKFS had a sole managing member interest in BKFS LLC, which granted us the exclusive

authority to manage, control and operate the business and affairs of BKFS LLC and its subsidiaries. BKFS shareholders indirectly controlled BKFS LLC through its managing member interest.

On May 26, 2015, BKFS completed its initial public offering, or IPO, in which it issued and sold 20,700,000 shares of Class A common stock at a price of $24.50 per share. Immediately prior to the IPO, FNF held 67.1% of the beneficial ownership of BKFS LLC and affiliates of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., or THL, held a 32.9% ownership interest in BKFS LLC. In connection with the IPO, BKFS effected several reorganization transactions, or the Offering Reorganization. Following the Offering Reorganization, FNF and THL held Class A Units, or Units, in BKFS LLC and a number of shares of BKFS Class B common stock equal to the number of Units held by each such owner. THL also held shares of Class A common stock of BKFS.

On September 29, 2017, FNF completed a tax-free distribution to its FNF Group shareholders of all 83.3 million shares of New BKH Corp., or New BKH, common stock owned by FNF's subsidiary Black Knight Holdings, Inc., or BKHI. We refer to this distribution as the Spin-Off. Immediately following the Spin-Off, New BKH and BKFS engaged in a series of transactions resulting in the formation of a new publicly-traded holding company, Black Knight, Inc., or Black Knight, which owns all of the outstanding shares of BKFS. In the Spin-Off, holders of FNF Group common stock received approximately 0.30663 shares of Black Knight common stock for each share of FNF Group common stock held at the close of business on September 20, 2017. Our common stock is listed under the symbol "BKI" on the New York Stock Exchange. The distribution is expected to generally be tax-free to FNF Group shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except to the extent of any cash received in lieu of Black Knight's fractional shares.

For additional information concerning FNF's acquisition of LPS, the internal reorganizations leading up to the IPO, the IPO and the Offering Reorganization and the Spin-Off, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2018.

Your shares can be voted at the annual meeting only if you vote by proxy or if you are present and vote in person. Even if you expect to attend the annual meeting, please vote by proxy to assure that your shares will be represented.

The board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the annual meeting because you were a holder of our common stock at the close of business on April 16, 2018, which we refer to as the record date, and therefore you are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. This proxy statement contains information about the matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, and the voting process, as well as information about the Company's directors and executive officers.

All record holders of common stock as of the close of business on April 16, 2018 are entitled to vote. As of the close of business on that day, 149,411,523 shares of common stock were outstanding and eligible to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the annual meeting.

If you hold your shares of common stock through a broker, bank or other nominee, you are considered a "beneficial owner," and you will receive separate instructions from the nominee describing how to vote your shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares. Beneficial owners may also vote their shares in person at the annual meeting after first obtaining a legal proxy from their nominees by following the instructions provided by their nominees, and presenting the legal proxy to the election inspectors at the annual meeting.

The proxy card covers all shares of common stock held by you of record (i.e., shares registered in your name) and any shares of common stock held for your benefit in Black Knight's 401(k) plan.

Even if you expect to attend the annual meeting, please vote by proxy to assure that your shares will be represented.

It means that you give someone else the right to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. In this case, we are asking you to give your proxy to our Chief Executive Officer, Corporate Secretary and Assistant Corporate Secretary, and each of them, who are sometimes referred to as the "proxy holders." By giving your proxy to the proxy holders, you assure that your vote will be counted even if you are unable to attend the annual meeting. If you give your proxy but do not include specific instructions on how to vote on a particular proposal described in this proxy statement, the proxy holders will vote your shares in accordance with the recommendation of the board for such proposal.

Although we are not aware of any matters to be presented at the annual meeting other than those contained in the Notice of Annual Meeting, if other matters are properly raised at the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures specified in Black Knight's certificate of incorporation and bylaws, all proxies given to the proxy holders will be voted in accordance with their best judgment.

If you have submitted your proxy and later wish to revoke it, you may do so by doing one of the following: giving written notice to the Corporate Secretary prior to the annual meeting; submitting another proxy bearing a later date (in any of the permitted forms) prior to the annual meeting; or casting a ballot in person at the annual meeting.

Broadridge Investor Communications Services will serve as proxy tabulator and count the votes, and the results will be certified by the inspector of election.

A quorum is present if a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting are present in person or represented by proxy. Broker non-votes and abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum of each class is present.

Broker non-votes occur when nominees, such as banks and brokers holding shares on behalf of beneficial owners, do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners at least 10 days before the meeting. If that happens, the nominees may vote those shares only on matters deemed "routine" by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the rules promulgated by the New York Stock Exchange thereunder.

The Company believes that all the proposals to be voted on at the annual meeting, except for the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, are not "routine" matters. On non-routine matters, such as Proposals No. 1 and 2, nominees cannot vote unless they receive voting instructions from beneficial owners. Please be sure to give specific voting instructions to your nominee, so that your vote can be counted.

With respect to Proposal No. 1, abstentions or directions to withhold authority will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote. With respect to Proposals Nos. 2 and 3, abstentions will have the effect of a vote against such proposals pursuant to our bylaws and Delaware law, which require that a proposal receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote.

We pay the cost of the solicitation of proxies, including preparing and mailing the Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, this proxy statement and the proxy card. Following the mailing of this proxy statement, directors, officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile transmission or other personal contact. Such persons will receive no additional compensation for such services. Brokerage houses and other nominees, fiduciaries and custodians who are holders of record of shares of our common stock will be requested to forward proxy soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of such shares and will be reimbursed by the Company for their charges and expenses in connection therewith at customary and reasonable rates.

We have adopted a procedure approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission, called "householding." Under this procedure, shareholders of record who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our annual report and proxy statement unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. Also, householding will not in any way affect dividend check mailings. If you are a shareholder who resides in the same household with another shareholder, or if you hold more than one account registered in your name at the same address, and wish to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials for each account, please contact Broadridge toll free at 1-866-540-7095. You may also write to Broadridge, Householding Department, at 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. Beneficial shareholders can request information about householding from their banks, brokers or other holders of record. We hereby undertake to deliver promptly upon written or oral request, a separate copy of the annual report to shareholders, or this proxy statement, as applicable, to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered.

Our corporate governance guidelines provide, along with the charters of the committees of the board of directors, a framework for the functioning of the board of directors and its committees and to establish a common set of expectations as to how the board of directors should perform its functions. These guidelines cover a number of areas including the size and composition of the board, board membership criteria and director qualifications, director responsibilities, board agenda, roles of the Executive Chairman of the board of directors, Chief Executive Officer and presiding director, meetings of independent directors, committee responsibilities and assignments, board member access to management and independent advisors, director communications with third parties, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, evaluation of senior management and management succession planning. The board reviewed our corporate governance guidelines in March 2018 and approved changes relating to the factors our board will consider in selecting nominees for director, including those relating to all aspects of diversity. A copy of our corporate governance guidelines is posted on the Investors page of our website which is located at www.blackknightinc.com. Shareholders may also obtain a copy by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth under "Available Information" below.

Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, which is applicable to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our Senior Vice President, Finance, and a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which is applicable to all our directors, officers and employees. The purpose of these codes is to: (i) promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of conflicts of interest; (ii) promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure; (iii) promote compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; (iv) ensure the protection of our legitimate business interests, including corporate opportunities, assets and confidential information; and (v) deter wrongdoing. Our codes of ethics were adopted to reinvigorate and renew our commitment to our longstanding standards for ethical business practices. Our reputation for integrity is one of our most important assets and each of our employees and directors is expected to contribute to the care and preservation of that asset. Under our codes of ethics, an amendment to or a waiver or modification of any ethics policy applicable to our directors or executive officers must be disclosed to the extent required under Securities and Exchange Commission and/or New York Stock Exchange rules. We intend to disclose any such amendment or waiver by posting it on the Investors page of our website at www.blackknightinc.com.

Copies of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers are available for review on the Investors page of our website at www.blackknightinc.com. Shareholders may also obtain a copy of any of these codes by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth under "Available Information" below.

During 2017, our Board was composed of William P. Foley, II (Executive Chairman), Thomas M. Hagerty, David K. Hunt, Richard N. Massey, Ganesh B. Rao and John D. Rood. On May 1, 2018, as part of our Chief Executive Officer succession plan, our Board elected Thomas J. Sanzone to serve as Vice Chairman of the Board following his retirement from his role as Chief Executive Officer of Black Knight, and elected Anthony Jabbour, our new Chief Executive Officer, to serve as a director.

Our board met four times in 2017. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board and of the committees on which they served during 2017. Our non-management directors also met periodically in executive sessions without management. Our non-management directors appoint one

independent director to preside over each executive session of our board. We do not, as a general matter, require our board members to attend our annual meeting of shareholders, although each of our directors is invited to attend our 2018 annual meeting. None of our directors attended our 2017 annual meeting.

Our nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates our relationships with each director and nominee and makes a recommendation to our board of directors as to whether to make an affirmative determination that such director or nominee is independent. Under our corporate governance guidelines, an "independent" director is one who meets the qualification requirements for being independent under applicable laws and the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE.

During the first quarter of 2018, our board of directors determined that Thomas M. Hagerty, David K. Hunt, Richard N. Massey, Ganesh B. Rao and John D. Rood are independent. The board of directors also determined that Messrs. Massey and Hagerty meet the additional independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange for compensation committee members.

In determining independence, the board of directors considered all relationships that might bear on our directors' independence from Black Knight. The board of directors determined that William P. Foley, II is not independent because he is the Executive Chairman and an employee of Black Knight. In connection with their election to the board in April 2018, the board determined that Thomas M. Sanzone and Anthony Jabbour are not independent because they are former or current executives of Black Knight.

In considering the independence of Thomas M. Hagerty, David K. Hunt, Richard N. Massey, Ganesh B. Rao and John D. Rood, the board of directors considered the following factors:

Following consideration of these matters, the board of directors determined that these relationships were not of a nature that would impair Mr. Hagerty's, Mr. Hunt's, Mr. Massey's, Mr. Rao's or Mr. Rood's independence.

The board has four standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, a corporate governance and nominating committee and a risk committee. The charter of each committee

is available on the Investors page of our website at www.blackknightinc.com. Shareholders also may obtain a copy of any of these charters by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth under "Available Information" below.

The members of the corporate governance and nominating committee are Thomas M. Hagerty (Chair) and Richard N. Massey. Our corporate governance and nominating committee met one time in 2017.

The primary functions of the corporate governance and nominating committee, as identified in its charter, are to:

Our corporate governance and nominating committee reviewed its charter in March 2018 and approved changes related to its oversight of our board and committee evaluation process.

The members of our audit committee are David K. Hunt (Chair), Richard N. Massey and John D. Rood. The board has determined that each of the audit committee members is financially literate and independent as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange, and that each of Messrs. Hunt, Massey and Rood is an audit committee financial expert, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our audit committee met a total of eleven times in 2017.

The audit committee is a separately-designated standing committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The audit committee of the board of directors submits the following report on the performance of certain of its responsibilities for the year 2017:

The primary function of the audit committee is oversight of (i) the quality and integrity of the Company's financial statements and related disclosures, (ii) its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of the Company's internal audit function and the independent registered public accounting firm. Our audit committee acts under a written charter, which the audit committee reviewed in January 2018 and approved without change. We review the adequacy of our charter at least annually. Our audit committee is comprised of the three directors named below. Each of our audit committee members have been determined by the board of directors to be independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange independence standards. In addition, our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Hunt, Massey and Rood is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In performing our oversight function, we reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, the Company's audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. Management and KPMG reported to us that the Company's consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Black Knight and its subsidiaries in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We also discussed with KPMG matters covered by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing Standards No. 16 (Communications With Audit Committees).

We have received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant's communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and have discussed with them their independence. In addition, we have considered whether KPMG's provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with their independence.

Finally, we discussed with the Company's internal auditors and KPMG the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. We met with KPMG at each meeting. Management was present for some, but not all, of these discussions. These discussions included the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls and the overall quality of our financial reporting.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and that KPMG be appointed independent registered public accounting firm for Black Knight for 2018.

In carrying out our responsibilities, we look to management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Company's financial statements and for maintaining effective internal control. Management is also responsible for assessing and maintaining the effectiveness of internal control over the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing the Company's annual financial statements and expressing an opinion as to whether the statements are fairly stated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The independent registered public accounting firm performs its responsibilities in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Our members are not professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing, and are not experts under the Exchange Act in either of those fields or in auditor independence.

The members of the compensation committee are Richard N. Massey (Chair) and Thomas M. Hagerty, each of whom were deemed to be independent by the board, as required by the New York Stock Exchange. Our compensation committee met four times during 2017. The functions of the compensation committee include the following:

For more information regarding the responsibilities of the compensation committee, please refer to the section of this proxy statement entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis and Executive and Director Compensation".

The members of the risk committee are John D. Rood (Chair), David K. Hunt and Ganesh B. Rao, each of whom were determined by the board to be independent. Our risk committee met four times in 2017.

The primary functions of the risk committee include providing oversight of our risk management and compliance efforts, as well as oversight of our material risks. Our risk committee's functions include, among other things:

In 2017 and 2018, our risk committee approved changes to its charter to clarify its role in oversight of our compliance with legal regulatory requirements, including Federal consumer financial laws designed to protect consumers, enterprise risk and its responsibility for oversight of certain regulatory examinations.

We have separated the positions of CEO and Executive Chairman of the board of directors in recognition of the differences between the two roles. Separating these positions allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus more directly upon executing on the Company's strategic objectives and business plan, providing day-to-day leadership and guiding senior management through the implementation of our strategic initiatives. It also allows our Executive Chairman to utilize his time to focus on our long-term strategy, and to set the agenda for board meetings and preside over meetings of the full board. When our non-management directors meet in executive session, they appoint one independent director to preside over that executive session. We believe this leadership structure is appropriate and allows our CEO and Executive Chairman to focus on the responsibilities of their respective offices while creating a collaborative relationship that benefits our Company.

The board of directors administers its risk oversight function directly and through committees. Our audit committee has the responsibility to consider and discuss our major financial risk exposures and the steps our management has taken to monitor and control these exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee also oversees the performance of the independent auditor, our internal audit function and monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Our risk committee has the responsibility to assist our board of directors in overseeing our enterprise-wide risk management framework and our comprehensive compliance program, and to review and approve our risk governance policies and procedures. The corporate governance and nominating committee considers the adequacy of our governance structures and policies. The compensation committee reviews and approves our compensation and other benefit plans, policies and programs and considers whether any of those plans, policies or programs creates risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on Black Knight. Each committee provides reports on its activities to the full board of directors.

Any shareholder or other interested person who desires to contact any member of the board or the non-management members of the board as a group may do so by writing to: Board of Directors, c/o Corporate Secretary, Black Knight, Inc., 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32204. Communications received are distributed by the Corporate Secretary to the appropriate member or members of the board.

Director Criteria, Qualifications and Experience and Process for Selecting Directors

BKFS completed its initial public offering in May 2015. From the completion of the IPO through September 29, 2017, BKFS qualified as a "controlled company" in accordance with the NYSE listing standards because more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors was held by FNF. On September 29, 2017, we completed the Spin-Off, which in effect resulted in the indirect distribution of FNF's equity interest in BKFS to the holders of FNF Group common stock and resulted in a less complex corporate structure for us. Upon the closing of the transaction, Black Knight, Inc. became the new public parent of BKFS and ceased to be a "controlled company." For additional information concerning our corporate history and structure, including the IPO and the Spin-Off, please see the section entitled "General Information About the Company" above.

Our board and the corporate governance and nominating committee is committed to include the best available candidates for nomination to election to our board based on merit. Since our IPO and through the planning and consummation of the transaction described above, our board and our corporate governance and nominating committee has been continuously evaluating our board's

composition with the goal of developing a board that will meet our strategic goals, and one that includes diverse, experienced and highly qualified individuals.

The corporate governance and nominating committee does not set specific, minimum qualifications that nominees must meet in order for the committee to recommend them to the board, but rather believes that each nominee should be evaluated based on his or her individual merits, taking into account our needs and the overall composition of the board. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the corporate governance and nominating committee considers, among other things, the following criteria in fulfilling its duty to recommend nominees for election as directors:

Each year in connection with the nomination of candidates for election to the board, the corporate governance and nominating committee evaluates the background of each candidate, including candidates that may be submitted by shareholders.

We believe that the current composition of our board has served us well and that our current directors possess relevant experience, skills and qualifications that contributed to a well-functioning board that effectively oversees our long-term strategy. Black Knight has undergone significant change in the past four years, including the LPS Acquisition, the IPO and the Spin-Off. Our board believes our board, which is composed of directors who have a strong understanding of our business, operational and strategic goals, as well as our industry and the risks we face, has been crucial to our ability to smoothly and successfully navigate through this time of transition.

In connection with the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders, the corporate governance and nominating committee undertook to examine ways that it could foster the diversity of our board across many dimensions to ensure that it operates at a high-functioning level and to reflect the board's commitment to inclusiveness. In connection with this examination, the committee revised our Corporate Governance Guidelines to expressly include diversity of age, gender, nationality, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation as a part of the criteria the committee may consider when selecting nominees for election to the board, all in the context of the needs of our board at any given point in time. Specifically, the corporate governance and nominating committee is focused on considering highly qualified women and individuals from minority groups who may be recommended by our directors, management, or our shareholders as candidates for nomination as directors.

The corporate governance and nominating committee considers qualified candidates suggested by current directors, management and our shareholders. Shareholders can suggest qualified candidates for director to the corporate governance and nominating committee by writing to our Corporate Secretary at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204. The submission must provide the information required by, and otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in, Section 3.1 of our bylaws. Section 3.1 also requires that the nomination notice be submitted by a prescribed time in advance of the meeting. See "Shareholder Proposals" below.

The matrix below lists the skills and experience that we consider most important for our directors in light of our current business and structure. In addition, biographical information concerning our nominees proposed for election at the annual meeting, as well as our continuing Class I and Class II directors, including each directors' relevant experience, qualifications, skills and diversity, is included below.

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements should be read with the compensation tables and related disclosures that follow. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and expectations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from the programs summarized in this discussion. The following discussion may also contain statements regarding corporate performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of our compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management's expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.

In this compensation discussion and analysis, we provide an overview of our approach to compensating our named executive officers in 2017, including the objectives of our compensation programs and the principles upon which our compensation programs and decisions are based. In 2017, our named executive officers were:

On April 1, 2018, Mr. Sanzone stepped down from his role as Chief Executive Officer and Anthony M. Jabbour was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of Black Knight. Mr. Sanzone was appointed Vice Chairman of the board of directors on May 1, 2018.

On September 29, 2017, we completed the Spin-Off from FNF. As a result, Black Knight, Inc. became the new publicly-traded parent of Black Knight Financial Services, Inc., and FNF no longer holds an ownership interest in our company. For more information about the Spin-Off, please see the section in this Proxy Statement entitled "General Information About the Company."

In 2017, we generated revenues of $1,051.6 million (representing growth of 2.5% compared to 2016); net earnings of $254.2 million (representing growth of 91.1% compared to 2016), which includes the $110.9 million income tax benefit related to the revaluation of our net deferred income tax liability as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017; and Adjusted EBITDA of $505.8 million (representing growth of 9.2% compared to 2016). Our growth in revenues and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by strong growth in our servicing software business, partially offset by lower volumes in our origination software business as a result of a decline in refinancing originations in our origination software business, and the realignment of our Property Insight business that reduced revenues with no effect on Adjusted EBITDA. While the overall results were solid, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA were below our expectations largely due to delays in certain client implementations that ultimately pushed revenues and related Adjusted EBITDA out of 2017.

Reflecting the solid financial results, significant new sales wins, and strength of our business model, our shares have outperformed broad market and sector indices since we completed our initial public offering on May 26, 2015. The closing price of our stock on December 29, 2017 was $44.15, an increase

of 62.9% above the closing price on May 20, 2015, the date Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. Class A common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange. These results compare to a total return of 32.9% for the S&P 500 and 56.6% for the S&P North American Technology Sector Index for the period from May 20, 2015 to December 29, 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Performance Metrics" on pages 38 and 39 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Our compensation committee believes it is important to reward our executives for strong performance in an industry with significant operational and regulatory challenges, and to incentivize them to continue to take actions to deliver strong results for our investors by expanding our client relationships, continuing to innovate our solutions set and pursuing new market opportunities. At the same time, our compensation committee believes it is important to disincentivize our executives from taking unnecessary risks. The compensation committee believes that our compensation programs are structured to foster these goals.

We believe that our executive compensation programs are structured in a manner to support our company and to achieve our business objectives. For 2017, our executive compensation approach was designed with the following goals:

We believe it is important to deliver strong results for our investors and clients, and we believe our practice of linking compensation with corporate performance will help us to accomplish that goal.

We take a proactive approach to compensation governance. Our compensation committee regularly reviews our compensation programs and makes adjustments that it believes are in the best interests of the company and our investors. As part of this process, our compensation committee reviews compensation trends and considers current best practices, and makes changes in our compensation programs when the committee deems it appropriate, all with the goal of continually improving our approach to executive compensation. We are also committed to hearing and responding to the views of our shareholders. Throughout 2017, our officers met with investors on numerous occasions, both in group and one-on-one settings. The investors with whom we met in 2017 represented 9 of our top 15 shareholders, who collectively owned more than 35% of our shares as of December 31, 2017 (excluding shares owned by THL). At these meetings, our officers discuss a variety of topics, including our operational and stock performance, corporate governance and executive compensation matters. We

report and discuss these meetings with our board or applicable board committees, as appropriate. Our compensation programs include the following notable best practices:

Things We Do:		Things We Don't Do:

þ Set a high ratio of performance-based compensation to total compensation, and a low ratio of non-performance-based compensation, including fixed benefits, perquisites and salary, to total compensation.		ý Provide tax gross-ups or reimbursement of taxes on perquisites. ý We do not permit the re-pricing of stock options or any equivalent form of equity incentive.
þ Adopted aggressive stock ownership guidelines and linked the guidelines to a holding period requirement for executives and directors who have not met the guidelines.		ý Have multi-year guarantees for salary increases, non-performance based bonuses or guaranteed equity compensation in our executive employment agreements.
þ Clawback any overpayments of incentive-based or equity-based compensation that were attributable to restated financial results. þ Our compensation committee sets maximum levels of awards payable under our Annual Incentive Plan, and our equity incentive plan has a limited award pool.		ý Employment agreements do not allow tax gross-ups for compensation paid due to a change of control and do not contain single trigger severance payment arrangements related to a change of control.
þ Our long-term equity incentive awards utilize a vesting schedule of at least three years, and awards granted under our omnibus incentive plan vest no sooner than one-year after the grant date, except in the case of unanticipated, early vesting due to death, disability or a change in control, with a standard carveout for awards relating to no more than 5% of the plan's share reserve.
þ Use a performance-based vesting provision in restricted stock grants to our officers, including our named executive officers.
þ Pay dividends or dividend equivalents only on equity awards that vest.
þ Separate the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman.
þ Limit perquisites.
þ Our compensation committee uses an independent compensation consultant who reports solely to the compensation committee and does not provide separate services to management.

We link a significant portion of each named executive officer's total annual compensation to performance goals that are intended to deliver measurable results. Executives are generally rewarded

only when and if the pre-established performance goals are met or exceeded. We also believe that material ownership stakes for executives assist in aligning executives' interests with those of shareholders and strongly motivates executives to build long-term value. We structure our compensation programs to assist in creating this link.

The following chart illustrates the principal elements of our named executive officer compensation program in 2017:

	Short-Term Incentives	Long-Term Incentives

Fixed Compensation	Short-Term Incentives	Long-Term Incentives
Fixed Compensation	Annual Cash Incentive	Performance-Based Restricted Stock
Base Salary	Annual Cash Incentive	Performance-Based Restricted Stock	Benefits
Fixed cash component with annual merit increase opportunity based on individual performance results.	Annual cash award for profitability, growth and operating strength during the year.	Annual restricted stock grants with service and performance-based vesting conditions tied to operating strength and efficiency. Restricted stock vesting is also tied to our stock ownership guidelines to promote significant long term stock ownership.	Employee stock purchase plan; 401(k) plan and deferred compensation plan; and limited perquisites.

The principal components of our executive compensation program for 2017 were base salaries, annual cash incentives under our Annual Incentive Plan, and long-term performance-based equity incentive awards. In 2017, our compensation committee placed heavy emphasis on the at-risk, performance-based components of performance-based cash incentives and performance-based equity incentive awards. The compensation committee determined the appropriate value of each component of compensation after considering each executive's level of responsibility, the individual skills, experience and potential contribution of each executive, and the ability of each executive to impact Company-wide performance and create long-term value. As shown in the table below, on average, approximately 84% of total compensation was based on performance-based incentives and benefits comprised less than 2% of total compensation.

The compensation committee believes a significant portion of an executive officer's compensation should be allocated to compensation that effectively aligns the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of our investors. In particular, with respect to Messrs. Foley and Sanzone, our compensation committee considered the critical role they play in our organization, especially with respect to achieving our strategic goals and long-term growth and success, and the paramount importance of retaining their services and continued focus and dedication. The structure and terms of the compensation provided to Messrs. Foley and Sanzone is also reflective of the role they play within our organization, with the substantial majority being performance-based contingent upon achievement of specified performance objectives.

The following tables show the allocation of 2017 total compensation for our named executive officers, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table below, among the various components. The

compensation committee believed this allocation to be appropriate after consideration of the factors described above.

Name

William P. Foley, II	6.2	%	79.3	%	9.0	%	5.5	%	100	%	88.3	%
Thomas J. Sanzone	10.5	%	76.9	%	12.2	%	0.4	%	100	%	89.1	%
Joseph M. Nackashi	16.2	%	71.8	%	10.4	%	1.6	%	100	%	82.2	%
Kirk T. Larsen	19.9	%	67.0	%	11.7	%	1.4	%	100	%	78.7	%
Anthony Orefice	16.4	%	73.8	%	9.6	%	0.2	%	100	%	83.4	%

Note that the financial measures used as performance targets for our named executive officers described in this discussion are non-GAAP measures and differ from the comparable GAAP measures reported in our financial statements. We explain how we use these non-GAAP measures in our discussions about incentives below.

Base salaries reflect the fixed component of the compensation for an executive officer's ongoing contribution to the operating performance of his or her area of responsibility. We provide our named executive officers with base salaries that are intended to provide them with a level of assured, regularly paid cash compensation that is competitive and reasonable. Messrs. Foley's and Sanzone's 2017 base salaries were unchanged from 2016. In March of 2017, Messrs. Larsen's and Orefice's base salaries were increased from $435,000 and $425,000, respectively, to $450,000 per year based on an assessment of their performance and importance to the company, and the company's performance under their leadership. In connection with Mr. Nackashi's promotion to President in July 2017, his base salary was increased to $600,000 in recognition of his additional responsibilities in his new role and in accordance with his amended and restated employment agreement. Our compensation committee reviews salary levels annually as part of our performance review process, as well as in the event of promotions or other changes in our named executive officers' positions or responsibilities. When establishing base

salary levels, our compensation committee considers the peer compensation data provided by our compensation consultant, Strategic Compensation Group, LLC, or SCG, as well as a number of qualitative factors, including the named executive officer's experience, knowledge, skills, level of responsibility and performance.

In 2017, we awarded annual cash incentive opportunities to each named executive officer under our Annual Incentive Plan. We use the Annual Incentive Plan to provide a form of at-risk, performance-based pay that is focused on achievement of critical, objectively measureable, financial objectives. These financial objectives are tied to our annual budget and our strategic planning process, which provide the basis for communicating our performance expectations to our shareholders. It is reviewed in detail and approved by our board. The 2017 annual cash incentives were conditioned upon the achievement of pre-defined financial objectives for fiscal year 2017, which were determined by our compensation committee. The payout formula under our incentive plans are based on objective (and not subjective) criteria, except with regard to negative discretion, where the compensation committee has the authority to reduce (but not increase) an executive's incentive. The performance measures used under our incentive plans are formulaic, established by the compensation committee in writing not later than 90 days into the applicable performance period, and, as applicable, payment amounts are determined based on the audited and reported financial results.

Our annual cash incentives play an important role in our approach to total compensation. They motivate participants to work hard and proficiently toward improving our operating performance and achieving our business plan for a fiscal year, and require that we achieve defined annual financial performance goals before participants become eligible for an incentive payout. We believe that achieving our financial objectives is a result of executing our business strategy, strengthening our services and solutions, improving client satisfaction and gaining new clients, and is important to delivering long-term value for our shareholders. In addition, the cash incentive program helps to attract and retain a highly qualified workforce and to maintain a market competitive compensation program.

In the first quarter of 2017, our compensation committee approved the 2017 fiscal year financial performance objectives and a target incentive opportunity for our named executive officers as well as the potential incentive opportunity range for threshold and maximum performance. No annual incentive payments are payable to an executive officer if the pre-established, threshold performance levels are not met, and payments are capped at the maximum performance payout level. Award targets under the Annual Incentive Plan were established by our compensation committee as described above for our executive officers as a percentage of each individual's base salary. Our named executive officers' 2017 target incentive opportunities were the same as their 2016 target incentive opportunities.

The amount of the annual incentives actually paid depends on the level of achievement of the pre-established goals as follows:

Threshold performance levels were established to challenge our executive officers. Maximum performance levels were established to limit annual incentive awards so as to avoid excessive compensation while encouraging executives to reach for performance beyond the target levels. An important tenet of our pay for performance philosophy is to utilize our compensation programs to motivate our executives to achieve performance levels that reach beyond what is expected of us as a company.

Target performance levels are intended to be difficult to achieve, but not unrealistic. The performance targets were based on discussions between management and our compensation committee. In setting 2017 performance metrics, our compensation committee considered our long-term strategic plan and our 2017 business plan with additional consideration given to prior year performance (with the 2017 target goals set above 2016 achievement).

The 2017 performance metrics were Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, weighted 40% and 60%, respectively. The percentage weight of each performance metric equates to the maximum percentage of incentive awards payable upon achieving the threshold, target or maximum performance level determined for such performance metric. The relative percentage weights for the performance metrics sum to 100%, and therefore 100% of the annual incentive awards would potentially be payable if target performance levels were achieved for both of the 2017 performance metrics.

These performance metrics are among the most important measures in evaluating the financial performance of our business, and they can have a significant effect on long-term value creation and the

investing community's expectations. In the following table, we explain how we calculate the performance measures and why we use them.

Performance Measure			How Calculated	Reason for Use

Adjusted Revenues	40	%	We define Adjusted Revenues as Revenues adjusted to include the revenues that were not recorded by Black Knight during the respective period due to the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP. For annual incentive purposes, we also exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures.	Adjusted Revenues is an important measure of our growth, our ability to satisfy our clients and gain new clients and the effectiveness of our services and solutions. Adjusted Revenues is widely followed by investors.
Adjusted EBITDA	60	%	We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net earnings, with adjustments to reflect the addition or elimination of certain income statement items including, but not limited to (i) Depreciation and amortization; (ii) Interest expense; (iii) Income tax (benefit) expense; (iv) Other expense, net; (v) Loss (gain) from discontinued operations, net of tax; (vi) the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment recorded in accordance with GAAP; (vii) equity-based compensation, including related payroll taxes; (viii) costs associated with debt and/or equity offerings, including the Spin-Off; and (ix) spin-off related transition costs. For annual incentive purposes, we also exclude the effect of acquisitions and divestitures.	Adjusted EBITDA reflects our operating strength and efficiency. It also reflects our ability to convert revenue into operating profits for shareholders. Adjusted EBITDA is a common basis for enterprise valuation by investment analysts and is widely followed by investors.

Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are useful to investors in evaluating our overall financial performance. We believe these measures provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making.

Set forth below are the relative percentage weights of the 2017 performance metrics, the threshold, target and maximum performance levels for each performance metric and 2017 performance results. Our compensation committee set the Adjusted Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA targets for the 2017 incentives above 2016 actual results, reflecting the committee's commitment to using rigorous goals that incentivize and reward continued growth in these important measures. For information on the ranges of possible payments under our Annual Incentive Plan, see "—Grants of Plan-Based Awards" under the column "Estimated Possible Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards." Dollar amounts are in millions.

The table below shows each named executive officer's 2017 target incentive opportunity and the amounts actually paid under the Annual Incentive Plan. We set our performance targets based upon our business plan for the year, which includes certain assumptions relating to, among other things, client implementations. Although we achieved solid financial performance in 2017, the total incentive earned was below 100% of the target opportunities largely due to delays in certain client implementations that ultimately pushed Adjusted revenues and related Adjusted EBITDA out of 2017.

Name	2017 Base Salary				2017 Incentive Pay Target				2017 Total Incentive Earned

William P. Foley, II	$	600,000	250	%	$	1,500,000	58.0	%	$	870,000
Thomas J. Sanzone	$	750,000	200	%	$	1,500,000	58.0	%	$	870,000
Joseph M. Nackashi	$	600,000	100	%	$	600,000	58.0	%	$	348,000
Kirk T. Larsen	$	450,000	100	%	$	450,000	58.0	%	$	261,000
Anthony Orefice	$	450,000	100	%	$	450,000	58.0	%	$	261,000

We typically approve our long-term equity incentive awards during the first quarter as the compensation committee begins its consideration of our compensation strategy for the year. In February 2017, we used our Omnibus Incentive Plan to grant long-term incentive awards to our executive officers in the form of performance-based restricted stock. The performance-based restricted stock awards granted in 2017 vest over four years (three years for Mr. Foley) based on continued employment with us and provided we achieve a performance target of Adjusted EBITDA of $464 million for the period of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. The Adjusted EBITDA goal of $464 million exceeds our 2016 actual Adjusted EBITDA. We achieved Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above for purposes of the awards, of $506.4 million for this period. The awards were designed with a primary objective of creating a long-term retention incentive, the value of which is tied to our stock price performance, and a secondary objective of requiring that management achieve Adjusted EBITDA results that were equal to or better than the prior year performance.

We selected Adjusted EBITDA because it is one of the most important measures in evaluating our operating strength and efficiency. It also reflects our ability to convert revenue into operating profits for shareholders and our progress toward achieving our long-term strategy. It is a key measure used by

investors and has a significant effect on our long-term stock price. For our performance-based restricted stock, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as noted above, under "Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentive."

Credit is provided for any dividends paid on unvested shares, but payment of those dividends is subject to the same vesting requirements as the underlying shares—in other words, if the underlying shares do not vest, the dividends are forfeited. We have not paid any cash dividends to date and have no current plans to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Our named executive officers and our board of directors maintain significant long-term investments in our company. Collectively, as reported in the table "Security Ownership of Management and Directors," they beneficially own an aggregate of 9,389,218 shares of our common stock (excluding shares owned by THL), which represents 6.3% of our outstanding common stock. The fact that our executives and directors hold such a large investment in our shares is part of our culture and our compensation philosophy. Management's sizable investment in our shares aligns their economic interests directly with the interests of our shareholders, and their wealth will rise and fall as our share price rises and falls. This promotes teamwork among our management team and strengthens the team's focus on achieving long-term results and increasing shareholder return.

We have formal stock ownership guidelines for all corporate officers, including our named executive officers and members of our board of directors. The guidelines were established to encourage such individuals to hold a multiple of their base salary (or annual retainer) in our common stock and, thereby, align a significant portion of their own economic interests with those of our shareholders. Further, the award agreements for our 2017 restricted stock awards provide that our executives who do not hold shares of our stock with a value sufficient to satisfy the applicable stock ownership guidelines must retain 50% of the shares acquired as a result of the lapse of vesting restrictions until the executive satisfies the applicable stock ownership guideline. The ownership levels are shown in the "Security Ownership of Management and Directors" table above. The guidelines call for the executive to reach the ownership multiple within four years. Shares of restricted stock count toward meeting the guidelines. The guidelines, including those applicable to non-employee directors, are as follows:

Each of our named executive officers and non-employee directors met these stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2017.

We provide retirement and other benefits to our U.S. employees under a number of compensation and benefit plans. Our named executive officers generally participate in the same compensation and benefit plans as our other executives and employees. In addition, our named executive officers are eligible to participate in broad-based health and welfare plans. We do not offer pensions or supplemental executive retirement plans for our named executive officers.

401(k) Plan. Prior to the Spin-Off, our domestic employees, including our named executive officers, had the opportunity to participate in FNF's defined contribution savings plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code or FNF 401(k) Plan. The FNF 401(k) Plan contained a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal

Revenue Code. Participating employees could contribute up to 40% of their eligible compensation, but not more than statutory limits, generally $18,000 in 2017.

A participant could receive the value of his or her vested account balance upon termination of employment. A participant is always 100% vested in his or her voluntary contributions. Vesting in matching contributions, if any, occurs proportionally each year over three years based on continued employment.

Following the Spin-Off, our domestic employees, including our named executive officers, became eligible to participate in The Black Knight 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan or 401(k) Plan. The terms of our 401(k) Plan are substantially similar to the terms of the FNF 401(k) Plan.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan. We maintain an employee stock purchase plan, or ESPP, through which our executives and employees can purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions and through matching employer contributions. At the end of each calendar quarter, we make a matching contribution to the account of each participant who has been continuously employed by us or a participating subsidiary for the last four calendar quarters. For officers, including our named executive officers, matching contributions are equal to ¹/2 of the amount contributed during the quarter that is one year earlier than the quarter in which the matching contribution was made. The matching contributions, together with the employee deferrals, are used to purchase shares of our common stock on the open market. For information regarding the matching contributions made to our named executive officers in 2017 see "—Summary Compensation Table" under the column "All Other Compensation" and the related footnote.

Deferred Compensation Plan. Prior to the Spin-Off, our named executive officers were eligible to defer receipt of their compensation under FNF's nonqualified deferred compensation plan. Following the Spin-Off, our named executive officers became eligible to defer receipt of their compensation under the Black Knight Deferred Compensation Plan. None of our named executive officers have deferred compensation allocable to us under FNF's nonqualified deferred compensation plan or deferred any compensation under the Black Knight Deferred Compensation Plan.

Health and Welfare Benefits. We sponsor various broad-based health and welfare benefit plans for our employees. We provide all our employees, including our named executive officers, with basic life insurance and the option for additional life insurance. The taxable portion of the premiums on this additional life insurance for our named executive officers is reflected below under "—Summary Compensation Table" under the column "All Other Compensation" and related footnote.

Other Benefits. We provide few perquisites to our executives. In general, the perquisites provided are intended to help our executives be more productive and efficient and to protect us and the executive from certain business risks and potential threats. The compensation committee regularly reviews the perquisites provided to our executive officers. Further detail regarding executive perquisites in 2017 can be found in the "—Summary Compensation Table" under the column "All Other Compensation" and the related footnote.

We have entered into employment agreements with our named executive officers. These agreements provide us and the executives with certain rights and obligations following a termination of employment, and in some instances, following a change of control. We believe these agreements are necessary to protect our legitimate business interests, as well as to protect the executives in the event of certain termination events. In July 2017, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Nackashi to reflect his new role as President. For a discussion of the material terms of the agreement, see the narrative following "—Grants of Plan-Based Awards" and "—Potential Parachute Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control."

ROLE OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE, COMPENSATION CONSULTANT AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

Our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing, approving and monitoring all compensation programs for our named executive officers. Our compensation committee is also responsible for administering our annual cash incentives under our Annual Incentive Plan, our Omnibus Incentive Plan and approving individual grants and awards under those plans for our named executive officers.

Our compensation committee engaged SCG, an independent compensation consultant, to conduct an annual review of our compensation programs for our named executive officers and other key executives and our board of directors. SCG was selected, and its fees and terms of engagement were approved, by our compensation committee. SCG reported directly to the compensation committee, received compensation only for services related to executive compensation issues and neither it nor any affiliated company provided any other services to us. In March 2017, the compensation committee reviewed the independence of SCG in accordance with the rules of the NYSE regarding the independence of consultants to the compensation committee, and affirmed the consultant's independence.

Our Executive Chairman, Mr. Foley, participated in the 2017 executive compensation process by making recommendations with respect to equity-based incentive compensation awards and Mr. Sanzone's compensation generally. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Sanzone, made recommendations with respect to his direct reports. In addition, Mr. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, coordinated with our compensation committee members and the consultant in preparing the committee's meeting agendas and, at the direction of the committee, assisted SCG in gathering our financial information and information on our executives' existing compensation arrangements for inclusion in SCG's reports to our compensation committee. Our executive officers do not make recommendations to our compensation committee with respect to their own compensation.

While our compensation committee carefully considers the information provided by, and the recommendations of, SCG and the individuals who participate in the compensation process, our compensation committee retains complete discretion to accept, reject or modify any compensation recommendations.

We operate in a highly competitive industry and compete with our peers and competitors to attract and retain highly skilled executives within that industry. To attract and retain talented executives with the leadership abilities and skills necessary for building long-term value, motivate our executives to perform at a high level and reward outstanding achievement, our executives' compensation levels are set at levels that our compensation committee believes to be competitive in our market.

When determining the amount of the various compensation components that each of our named executive officers would receive, our compensation committee considered a number of important qualitative and quantitative factors including:

Our compensation decisions are not formulaic, and the members of our compensation committee did not assign precise weights to the factors listed above. Our compensation committee utilized their individual and collective business judgment to review, assess and approve compensation for our named executive officers. For instance, with respect to Messrs. Foley and Sanzone, our compensation committee considered, as it did when structuring all of their compensation arrangements, the material role they play in our organization, their personal financial positions, and the importance of retaining their services and continued focus and dedication. Our compensation committee recognizes Mr. Foley's and Mr. Sanzone's knowledge of, and history and experience in, our industry and our organization, and the key role they have played, and continue to play, in developing and implementing our short-term and long-term business strategies. The relative size of Mr. Foley's and Mr. Sanzone's incentives is reflective of our compensation committee's subjective assessment of the value they add to our organization and its success. The structure and terms of the compensation provided to Mr. Foley and Mr. Sanzone is also reflective of the role they play within our organization, with the majority being performance-based. We believe that the cost of these incentives is outweighed by the immediate and long-term benefits we and our shareholders stand to gain by having Messrs. Foley and Sanzone dedicated, focused and materially aligned financially with our success.

To assist our compensation committee, SCG conducts marketplace reviews of the compensation we pay to our executive officers. It gathers marketplace compensation data on total compensation, which consists of annual salary, annual incentives, long-term incentives, executive benefits, executive ownership levels, overhang and dilution from our Omnibus Incentive Plan, compensation levels as a percent of revenue, pay mix and other key statistics. This data is collected and analyzed twice during the year, once in the first quarter and again in the fourth quarter. The marketplace compensation data provides a point of reference for our compensation committee, but our compensation committee ultimately makes subjective compensation decisions based on all of the factors described above.

For 2017, SCG used two marketplace data sources: (1) general industry companies with revenues between $900 million and $1.5 billion and (2) compensation information for a group of companies, or the peer group. The peer group was based on a revenue range of ¹/2 to 2.5 times our projected 2017 revenue (which at the time was estimated to be about $1.1 billion), industry focus, nature and complexity of operations, and because they compete with us for business and/or executive talent.

In addition to the compensation surveys, SCG gathers compensation practices data from independent sources. That data is helpful to the compensation committee when reviewing our executive compensation practices.

The 2017 peer group was consistent with the peer group used by the compensation committee in 2016, except that Global Payments, Inc. and Heartland Payment were deleted because they merged with

each other to form a much larger company. IHS, Inc. was also deleted because it was merged into Markit Ltd. Neustar, Verifone, and ANSYS, Inc. were added. The 2017 peer group consisted of:

The revenue range of these companies at that time was between $530 million and $3.16 billion, with median revenue of $1.435 billion. This compares to our 2017 revenue estimate at that time of about $1.1 billion.

We primarily focused on the 50th percentile of the data when considering what our named executive officers' 2017 target total compensation levels should be.

The marketplace compensation information in this discussion is not deemed filed or a part of this compensation discussion and analysis for certification purposes.

In order to more closely align the interests of our directors and executive officers with those of our shareholders and to protect against inappropriate risk taking, we maintain a hedging and pledging policy, which prohibits our executive officers and directors from engaging in hedging or monetization transactions with respect to our securities, engaging in short-term or speculative transactions in our securities that could create heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct or holding Black Knight securities in margin accounts or pledging them as collateral for loans without our approval. The policy was originally effective in April 2015. In October 2017, our board granted an exception to our hedging and pledging policy to Mr. Foley to allow him to enter into a forward purchase transaction. In connection with his exception request, Mr. Foley indicated that he had the financial ability to settle the pledge without resort to the pledged Black Knight shares.

In January 2018, Mr. Foley executed the forward purchase transaction with an unaffiliated third party which obligates Mr. Foley to deliver to the buyer up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Black Knight common stock or, at Mr. Foley's election, an equivalent amount of cash based on the market price for our common stock at the time of settlement. The transaction will be settled in ten tranches of up to 100,000 shares (or an equivalent amount of cash) on designated dates in January 2021.

The pledged shares represent 0.7% of the outstanding shares of Black Knight common stock and 15% of Mr. Foley's ownership in Black Knight. These shares are not included in our assessment that Mr. Foley has met our stock ownership guidelines discussed above.

In July 2016, our compensation committee adopted a policy to recover any incentive-based compensation from our executive officers if we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements, and the incentive-based compensation paid during the preceding three-year period would have been lower had the compensation been based on the restated financial results. No clawbacks were made in 2017.

Our compensation committee considers the effect of tax and accounting treatments when determining executive compensation.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount that can be deducted in any one year for compensation paid to certain executive officers. Before being repealed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, there was an exception for certain performance-based compensation. Our compensation committee took the deduction limitation under Section 162(m) into account when structuring and approving awards under our Annual Incentive Plan and our Omnibus Incentive Plan in 2017, and designed our named executive officers' annual incentives and restricted stock awards with the intention that they would qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m). However, there are uncertainties as to the application of Section 162(m), making it possible that a deduction relating to amounts intended to qualify as performance-based compensation may be challenged or disallowed. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) for awards that are not grandfathered and it increased the coverage of Section 162(m) to, among other things, include Chief Financial Officers. These changes will cause more of our named executive officer's compensation to be non-deductible under Section 162(m) in the future, and eliminate our ability to structure performance-based awards to be exempt from Section 162(m). We will continue to monitor developments under Section 162(m).

Our compensation committee also considers the accounting effect when structuring and approving awards. We account for share-based payments, including long-term incentive grants, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, which governs the appropriate accounting treatment of share-based payments under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

At our 2017 annual meeting of shareholders, we held a non-binding advisory vote, also called a "say on pay" vote, on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the 2017 proxy statement. A majority of our shareholders approved our "say on pay" proposal, with 99% of the votes cast in favor of the proposal. The compensation committee considered these results in determining to keep our 2017 compensation programs generally consistent with those in place in 2016.

The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management, and the compensation committee recommended to the board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

The following table contains information concerning the cash and non-cash compensation awarded to or earned by our named executive officers for the years indicated.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and our three other most highly compensated executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2017 (together, our named executive officers).

None of our named executive officers have deferred compensation allocable to us under FNF's nonqualified deferred compensation plan or deferred any compensation under the Black Knight Deferred Compensation Plan.

We have entered into employment agreements with our named executive officers. Additional information regarding post-termination benefits provided under these employment agreements can be found under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below.

We entered into an amended and restated three-year employment agreement with Mr. Foley, effective January 8, 2016, to serve as our Executive Chairman, with a provision for automatic annual extensions beginning on January 8, 2017 and continuing thereafter unless either party provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. The employment agreement provides that we will pay Mr. Foley a base salary of no less than $600,000 per year, and that Mr. Foley is eligible for an annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Incentive Plan. Under the agreement, Mr. Foley's annual cash incentive target shall be no less than 250% of his annual base salary, with amounts payable depending on performance relative to targeted results. Mr. Foley is entitled to the benefits we provide to our other employees generally except medical benefits, which he receives from FNF. Mr. Foley is also eligible to receive equity grants under our equity incentive plans, as determined by our compensation committee (provided that the grant date fair value of each annual grant shall be at least $7,000,000).

Mr. Foley's employment agreement also provides that, if any payments or benefits to be paid to Mr. Foley pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Foley may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code; and that if Mr. Foley does not elect to have such payments so reduced, Mr. Foley is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments and shall not be entitled to a gross-up payment under his employment agreement.

Mr. Foley's employment agreement contains provisions related to the payment of benefits upon certain termination events. The details of these provisions are set forth under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below.

Mr. Foley's director services agreement with FNF contains cross-termination provisions under which a termination for any reason under the agreement will constitute termination under Mr. Foley's employment agreement with us, for the same reason.

We entered into a three-year amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Sanzone, effective January 3, 2014, to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and President, with a provision for automatic annual extensions beginning on the second anniversary of the effective date unless either party gives written notice to the other not to extend the employment term at least 90 days prior to the conclusion of the then-current employment term. The employment agreement provides that we will pay Mr. Sanzone a base salary of no less than $650,000 per year, and that Mr. Sanzone is eligible for an annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Incentive Plan, with amounts payable depending on performance relative to targeted results. For the period from January 3, 2014 through the remainder of his employment term, Mr. Sanzone's target bonus is set at 200% of his base salary, with a maximum

of up to 400% of his base salary. Mr. Sanzone is entitled to the benefits we provide to our other employees generally.

Mr. Sanzone's employment agreement also provides that, if any payments or benefits to be paid to Mr. Sanzone pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Sanzone may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code; and that if Mr. Sanzone does not elect to have such payments so reduced, Mr. Sanzone is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments and shall not be entitled to a gross-up payment under his employment agreement.

Mr. Sanzone's employment agreement contains provisions related to the payment of benefits upon certain termination events. The details of these provisions are set forth under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below.

We entered into a three-year amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Nackashi, effective July 17, 2017, to serve as our President, with a provision for automatic annual extensions beginning on July 17, 2019 and continuing thereafter unless either party provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Nackashi's minimum annual base salary is $600,000, and Mr. Nackashi is eligible for an annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Incentive Plan (including a bonus for the full 12-month period for calendar year 2017), with amounts payable depending on performance relative to targeted results. Mr. Nackashi's target bonus is set at 100% of his base salary, with a maximum of up to 200% of his base salary. Mr. Nackashi is entitled to the benefits we provide to our other employees generally.

Mr. Nackashi's employment agreement also provides that, if any payments or benefits to be paid to Mr. Nackashi pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Nackashi may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code; and that if Mr. Nackashi does not elect to have such payments so reduced, Mr. Nackashi is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments and shall not be entitled to a gross-up payment under his employment agreement.

Mr. Nackashi's employment agreement contains provisions related to the payment of benefits upon certain termination events. The details of these provisions are set forth under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below.

We entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Larsen, effective April 23, 2015, to serve as our Chief Financial Officer. Effective March 17, 2016, we entered into an amendment to Mr. Larsen's employment agreement, which provides for a three-year term ending on March 17, 2019, with a provision for automatic annual extensions beginning on March 17, 2018 and continuing thereafter unless either party provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Larsen's minimum annual base salary is $435,000 and Mr. Larsen is eligible for an annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Incentive Plan, with amounts payable depending on performance relative to targeted results. For the period from January 3, 2014 through the remainder of his employment term, Mr. Larsen's target bonus is set at 100% of his base salary, with a maximum of up to 200% of his base salary. Mr. Larsen is entitled to the benefits we provide to our other employees generally.

Mr. Larsen's employment agreement also provides that, if any payments or benefits to be paid to Mr. Larsen pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Larsen may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code; and that if Mr. Larsen does not elect to have such payments so reduced, Mr. Larsen is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments and shall not be entitled to a gross-up payment under his employment agreement.

Mr. Larsen's employment agreement contains provisions related to the payment of benefits upon certain termination events. The details of these provisions are set forth under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below.

We entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Orefice, effective January 3, 2014, to serve as our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Effective January 3, 2016, we entered into an amendment to Mr. Orefice's employment agreement, which provides for a three-year term ending on January 3, 2019, with a provision for automatic annual extensions beginning on January 3, 2018 and continuing thereafter unless either party provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. The employment agreement provides that we will pay Mr. Orefice a base salary of no less than $400,000 per year and that Mr. Orefice is eligible for an annual incentive bonus opportunity under the Annual Incentive Plan, with amounts payable depending on performance relative to targeted results. On September 2, 2014, we entered into an amendment to Mr. Orefice's employment agreement that set his target bonus at 100% of his base salary, with a maximum of up to 200% of his base salary for the period from January 3, 2014 through the remainder of his employment term. Mr. Orefice is entitled to the benefits we provide to our other employees generally.

Mr. Orefice's employment agreement also provides that, if any payments or benefits to be paid to Mr. Orefice pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, then Mr. Orefice may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code; and that if Mr. Orefice does not elect to have such payments so reduced, Mr. Orefice is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments and shall not be entitled to a gross-up payment under his employment agreement.

Mr. Orefice's employment agreement contains provisions related to the payment of benefits upon certain termination events. The details of these provisions are set forth under "—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control" below.

In this section, we discuss the nature and estimated value of payments and benefits we would provide to our named executive officers in the event of termination of employment or a change of control. The amounts described in this section reflect amounts that would have been payable under (i) our plans, and (ii) where applicable with respect to the named executive officers, their employment agreements if their employment had terminated on December 31, 2017.

For the named executive officers, the types of termination situations include a voluntary termination by the executive, with or without good reason, a termination by us either for cause or not for cause and termination in the event of disability or death. We also describe the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided upon a change of control without a termination of employment. The actual payments and benefits that would be provided upon a termination of employment would be

based on the named executive officers' compensation and benefit levels at the time of the termination of employment.

For each type of employment termination, the named executive officers would be entitled to benefits that are available generally to our domestic salaried employees, such as distributions under our 401(k) savings plan, certain disability benefits and accrued vacation. We have not described or provided an estimate of the value of any payments or benefits under plans or arrangements that do not discriminate in scope, terms or operation in favor of a named executive officer and that are generally available to all salaried employees.

As discussed above, we have entered into employment agreements with our named executive officers. The agreements provide for the payment of severance benefits following certain termination events. Following is a summary of the payments and benefits that the named executive officers would receive in connection with various employment termination scenarios.

Under the terms of each employment agreement, if the executive's employment is terminated by us for any reason other than for cause and not due to death or disability, or by the executive for good reason (or, in the case of Mr. Foley, because he is not nominated to run for re-election as chairman of the board, is nominated, but does not receive enough votes to be re-elected to the board, or is removed as chairman of the board for reasons other than cause) then the executive is entitled to receive:

If the executive's employment terminates due to death or disability, the executive, or his estate, will receive the following:

If the executive's employment is terminated by us for cause or by the executive without good reason, our only obligation is the payment of any accrued obligations.

For purposes of Messrs. Sanzone, Larsen and Nackashi's employment agreements, "cause" shall also mean the executive's:

For purposes of each employment agreement, other than Messrs. Foley's and Orefice's employment agreements, "good reason" includes:

For purposes of Mr. Foley's employment agreement, a "change of control" includes:

In addition to the post-termination rights and obligations set forth in the employment and award agreements, our Omnibus Incentive Plan provides for the potential acceleration of vesting and/or payment of equity awards in connection with a change in control. Under our Omnibus Incentive Plan, except as otherwise provided in a participant's award agreement, upon the occurrence of a change in control any and all outstanding options and stock appreciation rights will become immediately exercisable, any restriction imposed on restricted stock, restricted stock units and other awards will

lapse, and any and all performance shares, performance units and other awards with performance conditions will be deemed earned at the target level, or, if no target level is specified, the maximum level.

For purposes of our Omnibus Incentive Plan, the term "change in control" is defined as the occurrence of any of the following events:

None of our named executive officers' employment agreements provide for a payment or a benefit upon a change of control without termination.

Our estimate of the cash severance amounts that would be provided to the named executive officers assumes that their employment terminated on December 31, 2017. The severance amounts do not include a prorated 2017 annual incentive since the named executive officers would have been paid based on their service through the end of the year and therefore would have received the annual incentive whether or not the termination occurred.

For a termination of employment by us not for cause or a termination by the executive for good reason (or, in the case of Mr. Foley, because he is not nominated to run for re-election as chairman of the board, is nominated, but does not receive enough votes to be re-elected to the board, or is removed as chairman of the board for reasons other than cause), effective December 31, 2017, the following cash payments would have been made under the employment agreements: Mr. Foley $13,532,596; Mr. Sanzone $2,321,208; Mr. Nackashi $2,400,000; Mr. Larsen $1,824,739; and Mr. Orefice $521,208. Upon a termination of the executives' employment due to death or disability, the executives would receive any amounts that were earned and accrued, but not paid as of the date of termination, but no severance.

Estimated Equity Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

As disclosed in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End table, each named executive officer had outstanding unvested restricted stock awards on December 31, 2017.

The estimated amounts below were determined by multiplying the number of shares of restricted stock that would vest by $44.15 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on December 29, 2017. Our estimate of the value of equity that would vest assumes that the change in control and, as applicable, termination of employment occurred on December 31, 2017.

The estimated value of the Black Knight restricted stock awards held by the named executive officers that would vest upon a change of control would be as follows: Mr. Foley $16,252,410; Mr. Sanzone $12,258,954; Mr. Nackashi $3,825,774; Mr. Larsen $2,917,476; and Mr. Orefice $3,242,244. The estimated value of the Black Knight restricted stock awards held by the named executive officers

that would vest upon a termination of the named executive officers' employment by us without cause or a termination by the executives for good reason would be as follows: Mr. Foley $16,252,410; Mr. Sanzone $0; Mr. Nackashi $0; Mr. Larsen $0; and Mr. Orefice $0. The estimated value of the restricted stock awards held by the named executive officers that would vest upon a termination of the named executive officers' employment due to death or disability would be as follows: Mr. Foley $16,252,410; Mr. Sanzone $12,258,954; Mr. Nackashi $3,825,774; Mr. Larsen $2,917,476; and Mr. Orefice $3,242,244.

The compensation committee is currently composed of Richard N. Massey (Chair) and Thomas M. Hagerty. During fiscal year 2017, no member of the compensation committee was a former or current officer or employee of Black Knight or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during fiscal year 2017, none of our executive officers served (i) as a member of the compensation committee or board of directors of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our compensation committee, or (ii) as a member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on our board.

Discussion of Our Compensation Policies and Practices as They Relate to Risk Management

We reviewed our compensation policies and practices for all employees including our named executive officers, and determined that our compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our company. In conducting the analysis, we reviewed the structure of our executive, non-officer and sales commission incentive programs and the internal controls and risk abatement processes that are in place for each program. We also reviewed data compiled across our Software Solutions (Servicing and Origination), Data and Analytics and corporate operations relative to Adjusted Revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, total compensation expenses and incentive program expenses (including as a percentage of both revenue and total compensation expenses).

We believe that several design features of our executive compensation program mitigate risk. We set base salaries at levels that provide our employees with assured cash compensation that is appropriate to their job duties and level of responsibility and that, when taken together with incentive awards, motivate them to perform at a high level without encouraging inappropriate risk taking to achieve a reasonable level of secure compensation.

With respect to our executives' incentive opportunities, we believe that our use of measurable corporate financial performance goals, multiple performance levels and minimum, target and maximum achievable payouts, together with the Compensation Committee's discretion to reduce awards, serve to mitigate excessive risk taking. The risk of overstatement of financial figures to which incentives are tied is mitigated by our compensation committee's review and approval of the awards and internal and external review of our financials. We also believe that our use of restricted stock and multi-year vesting schedules in our long-term incentive awards encourage recipients to deliver incremental value to our shareholders and aligns their interests with our sustainable long-term performance, thereby mitigating risk.

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our CEO and the annual total compensation of our employees for 2017, which we refer to as our CEO pay ratio. Our CEO pay ratio information is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, calculated as described above, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees for 2017 was 80 to 1. This ratio was based on the following:

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee. For purposes of the above CEO pay ratio disclosure, we are required to identify a median employee based on our worldwide workforce, without regard to their location, compensation arrangements, or employment status (full-time versus part-time). The median employee is determined by identifying the employee whose compensation is at the median of the compensation of our employee population (other than our CEO). Accordingly, to identify the median of the compensation of our employee population, the methodology and the material assumptions and estimates that we used were as follows:

Employee Population. We determined that, as of November 13, 2017, the date we selected to identify the median employee, our total global employee population consisted of approximately 4,300 individuals.

Compensation Measure Used to Identify the Median Employee. Given the geographical distribution of our employee population, we use a variety of pay elements to structure the compensation arrangements of our employees. Consequently, for purposes of measuring the compensation of our employees to identify the median employee, rather than using annual total compensation, we selected base salary/wages and overtime pay, plus actual annual cash incentive compensation (annual bonus) and allowances paid through November 13, 2017 as the compensation measure.

Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee. In order to determine the annual total compensation of the median employee, we identified and calculated the elements of that employee's compensation for 2017 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation in the amount of $89,851.

Annual Total Compensation of Chief Executive Officer. With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, in accordance with SEC rules, we included the amount reported for Mr. Sanzone in the "Total" column for 2017 in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.

Directors who are our salaried employees receive no additional compensation for services as a director or as a member of a committee of our board. In 2017, all non-employee directors received an annual retainer of $60,000, payable quarterly, plus $2,000 for each board meeting attended. The chairman and each member of the audit committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments) of $25,000 and $15,000, respectively, for their service on the Audit Committee,

plus a fee of $1,500 for each Audit Committee meeting attended. The chairmen and each member of the Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Risk Committees received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments) of $15,000 and $10,000, respectively, for their service on such committees, plus a fee of $1,500 for each committee meeting attended. Members of the special committee formed for purposes of evaluating the Spin-Off received a flat fee of $15,000. In addition, in 2017 each non-employee director received a long-term incentive award of 3,300 restricted shares. The restricted shares were granted under our Omnibus Incentive Plan and vest over a period of four years from the grant date subject to continued service on our board and the achievement of a performance target of Adjusted EBITDA of $464 million for the period of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. We also reimburse each of our directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings, as well as with any director education programs they attend relating to their service on our board of directors.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017:

(1): Amounts include the cash portion of annual board and committee retainers and meeting fees earned for services as a director in 2017.
(2): Amounts shown for all directors represent the grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted in 2017, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. These awards consisted of 3,300 performance-based restricted shares granted in February 2017 that vest over a period of four years from the grant date, subject to (i) Black Knight achieving Adjusted EBITDA of $464 million for the period of January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017 (Adjusted EBITDA, as adjusted for purposes of the awards, of $506.4 million was achieved for this period), and (ii) continued service on our board. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 13 to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018. The grant date fair value of the awards is based on a per share grant date fair value of $37.90. As of December 31, 2017, restricted stock awards outstanding for each director were as follows: Mr. Hagerty 6,615; Mr. Hunt 6,615; Mr. Massey 6,615; Mr. Rao 6,615; and Mr. Rood 6,615.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 14a-21(a) promulgated thereunder, we are asking our shareholders to approve, in a non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.

As described in detail in our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," our Company takes a proactive approach to compensation governance. The compensation committee regularly reviews our compensation programs and makes adjustments that it believes are in the best interests of the Company and our investors. As part of this process, our compensation committee reviews compensation trends and considers current best practices, and makes changes in our compensation programs when the committee deems it appropriate, all with the goal of continually improving our approach to executive compensation. We are also committed to hearing and responding to the views of our shareholders. Throughout 2017, our officers met with investors on numerous occasions, both in group and one-on-one settings. The investors with whom we met in 2017 represented 9 of our top 15 shareholders, who collectively owned more than 35% of our shares as of December 31, 2017 (excluding shares owned by THL). At these meetings, our officers discuss a variety of topics, including our operational and stock performance, corporate governance and executive compensation matters. We reported and discussed these meetings with our board or applicable board committees, as appropriate.

We ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the annual meeting:

The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Approval of this resolution requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote. However, as this is an advisory vote, the results will not be binding on the Company, the board or the compensation committee, and will not require us to take any action. The final decision on the compensation of our named executive officers remains with our compensation committee and the board, although the compensation committee and the board will consider the outcome of this vote when making compensation decisions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT.

Although shareholder ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the selection of KPMG LLP to our shareholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate governance practice. Even if the selection is ratified, our audit committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. If our shareholders do not ratify the audit committee's selection, the audit committee will take that fact into consideration, together with such other factors it deems relevant, in determining its next selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.

In choosing our independent registered public accounting firm, our audit committee conducts a comprehensive review of the qualifications of those individuals who will lead and serve on the engagement team, the quality control procedures the firm has established, and any issue raised by the most recent quality control review of the firm. The review also includes matters required to be considered under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules on "Auditor Independence," including the nature and extent of non-audit services to ensure that they will not impair the independence of the accountants.

Representatives of KPMG LLP are expected to be present at the annual meeting. These representatives will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The audit committee has appointed KPMG LLP to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the 2018 fiscal year. KPMG LLP has continuously acted as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company (including BKFS Inc. prior to the Spin-Off and BKFS LLC prior to our IPO) commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

For services rendered to us during or in connection with our years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we were billed the following fees by KPMG LLP:

Audit Fees. Audit fees consisted principally of fees for the audits, registration statements and other filings related to the Company's 2017 and 2016 consolidated financial statements, and audits of the Company's subsidiaries required for regulatory reporting purposes, including billings for out of pocket expenses incurred.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-related fees consisted principally of fees for Service Organization Control Attestations, including billings for out of pocket expenses incurred.

Tax Fees. Tax fees in 2017 consisted of tax consulting services. Tax fees in 2016 consisted of tax due diligence services related to acquisitions.

All Other Services. The Company did not incur any other fees for 2017. Other fees in 2016 consisted of readiness assessments for future Service Organization Control Attestations.

In accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, all audit and audit-related work and all non-audit work performed by KPMG LLP is approved in advance by the audit committee, including the proposed fees for such work. Our pre-approval policy provides that, unless a type of service to be provided by KPMG LLP has been generally pre-approved by the audit committee, it will require specific pre-approval by the audit committee. In addition, any proposed services exceeding pre-approved maximum fee amounts also require pre-approval by the audit committee. Our pre-approval policy provides that specific pre-approval authority is delegated to our audit committee chairman, provided that the estimated fee for the proposed service does not exceed a pre-approved maximum amount set by the committee. Our audit committee chairman must report any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF KPMG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2018 FISCAL YEAR.

As a result of the Spin-Off, FNF and Black Knight are separate independent companies. Mr. Foley, our Executive Chairman, also serves as Chairman of the Board of FNF and is a director of both Black Knight and FNF, and Mr. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, serves as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of FNF. In addition, Thomas M. Hagerty, Richard N. Massey and John D. Rood serve on the boards of directors of both FNF and Black Knight. In order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between us and Black Knight following the Spin-Off, we have entered into certain agreements with Black Knight, the terms of which are summarized below.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a tax matters agreement with FNF that governs our respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax matters.

Under the tax matters agreement, FNF will be required to indemnify us for (i) any taxes of New BKH Corp. (New BKH), Black Knight Holdings, Inc. (BKHI) or Black Knight (except for taxes otherwise required to be indemnified by Black Knight, as described below) with respect to a pre-Spin-Off taxable period, (ii) any taxes (except for taxes otherwise required to be indemnified by us)

pursuant to Treasury regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or comparable provision under any other applicable law) by reason of New BKH, BKHI, or Black Knight having been a member of an FNF Group on or prior to the Spin-Off date, (iii) any taxes resulting from the contributions or the Spin-Off failing to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the IRC and a distribution to which Section 355 of the IRC applies, (iv) any taxes arising as a result of the separation (other than taxes set forth in clause (iii), above), and (v) all transfer taxes, except, in each case, for taxes that arise from or are attributable to what we refer to as a Black Knight disqualifying action (as such term is described below).

Black Knight will be required to indemnify the FNF Group for (i) any taxes of New BKH or Black Knight attributable to a post-Spin-Off taxable period, (ii) any taxes, including with respect to a pre-Spin-Off taxable period, attributable to the ownership of BKFS LLC units by BKHI and other FNF Group members (excluding any taxes arising from any transfer of the BKFS LLC units by BKHI or any FNF Group member) except to the extent BKFS LLC previously made a tax distribution to BKHI or an FNF Group member in respect of such taxes, (iii) any taxes that arise from or are attributable to (a) any action by Black Knight or any of its subsidiaries, or the failure to take any action within their control which negates the tax-free status of the transactions; or (b) direct or indirect changes in ownership of Black Knight or New BKH equity interests that cause the Spin-Off to be a taxable event to FNF as a result of the application of Section 355(e) of the IRC or to be a taxable event as a result of a failure to satisfy the "continuity of interest" or "device" requirements for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the IRC (clauses (a) and (b), together, which we refer to as Black Knight disqualifying actions.

FNF will be responsible for preparing and filing all tax returns that include one or more members of the FNF Group and one or more members of the Black Knight Group for taxable periods beginning on or before the Spin-Off date. After the Spin-Off date, Black Knight will prepare and file all tax returns filed by BKFS LLC that report taxes that will be reflected on a tax return of a member of the FNF Group, and FNF will have review and approval rights with respect to such tax returns.

Generally, each of FNF and Black Knight will be entitled to any refunds, credits, or offsets relating to taxes allocated to and paid by its respective group under the tax matters agreement. The members of the Black Knight Group will be required to waive their rights to carryback any tax attribute to a pre-Spin-Off taxable period of an FNF consolidated tax return to the extent permitted by applicable law. If such member is unable to elect to forego such carryback, the FNF will be entitled to any refunds resulting from such carryback.

If a party to the tax matters agreement receives a notice of a tax audit from a tax authority, and believes it may have suffered or could potentially suffer any tax liability for which it may request indemnification, it must inform the party liable to make such indemnification payment, which we refer to as the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party will have the right to control such audit and compromise or settle such tax audit, provided that the indemnified party must consent to such compromise or settlement to the extent that the indemnified party may be materially affected by such compromise or settlement. FNF and Black Knight will each have the right to jointly control any audit or proceeding relating to taxes incurred in connection with a failure of the separation to qualify for tax-free treatment, and neither FNF nor Black Knight will be permitted to compromise or settle any such audit or proceeding without the other party's consent.

To the extent permitted by applicable tax law, FNF, Black Knight and New BKH agree to treat any payments made under the tax matters agreement as a capital contribution or distribution (as applicable) immediately prior to the Spin-Off. The amount of any indemnification payment made under the tax matters agreement will be reduced by the amount of any reduction in taxes actually realized by the party receiving such payment as a result of the event giving rise to the indemnification payment by the end of the taxable year in which the indemnity payment is made, and will be increased if and to the extent necessary to ensure that, after all required taxes on the indemnity payment are paid (including taxes applicable to any increases in the indemnity payment), the indemnified party receives the amount it would have received if the indemnity payment was not taxable.

Finally, Black Knight and its subsidiaries are restricted by certain covenants related to the Spin-Off. These restrictive covenants require that none of Black Knight and its subsidiaries will:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Black Knight and its affiliates may take an action prohibited by the foregoing if (i) FNF receives prior written notice describing the proposed action in reasonable detail, and (ii) Black Knight delivers to FNF either (x) an opinion from a nationally recognized U.S. tax advisor providing that the completion of a proposed action by the Black Knight Group (or any member thereof) would not affect the tax-free status of the transactions; or (y) a private letter ruling from the IRS providing that the completion of a proposed action by the Black Knight Group should not affect the tax-free status of the transactions, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to FNF; provided, however, that under certain circumstances, Black Knight shall be permitted to (A) redeem its shares on the open market pursuant to a certain share repurchase program and to issue reasonable Black Knight equity-based compensation for services rendered to a member of the Black Knight Group if such person is permitted to receive Black Knight stock under Safe Harbor VIII in Treasury regulations section 1.355-7(d), (B) repurchase equity interests of Black Knight from any person who acquired such equity interests pursuant to the BKFS merger or the Interest Exchange Agreement entered into between Black Knight and THL in connection with the Spin-Off, or (C) issue equity in the manner described in U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.355-7(d)(9).

We have various agreements with FNF, including certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to which we provide technology, data and analytics services, as well as corporate shared services and information technology. In addition, FNF provides certain corporate services to us, including certain legal services and corporate administrative services. Pursuant to these arrangements, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we received $56.8 million in revenues and recorded $12.3 million in operating expenses from FNF and its subsidiaries.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a Sales Promotion Agreement with FNF, which we refer to as the sales promotion agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, each party agrees to co-operate with the other party in promoting such party's products and services to its customers. If the promotional activities are mutually advantageous, each party will identify any customers who may be interested in the services of the other party, so that the parties can coordinate appropriate engagement of such promotional activities. The sales promotion agreement has an initial term of five years, and will renew automatically for additional five year terms unless terminated by either party with at least 90 days written notice prior to the start of the next term.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a Non-Competition Agreement with FNF, which we refer to as the non-competition agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, we will not, among other things, without the prior written consent of FNF, engage in or acquire any businesses engaged in title generation/escrow services, appraisal, or default and field services work (other than technology solutions for such services). Such restrictions are subject to an exception allowing us to acquire a business engaged in such restricted services if at least 90% of such business' revenue is contributed by activities other than such restricted activities. We also agreed not to engage in certain transactions such as a merger, sale of assets, or sale of greater than 5% of its equity interests to a buyer that derives 10% or more of its revenue from such restricted services. The non-competition agreement terminates on the tenth anniversary of the date of entry into such agreement.

We have entered into a cross-indemnity agreement with ServiceLink. Pursuant to the cross-indemnity agreement, ServiceLink indemnifies us for liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from the conduct of ServiceLink's business or any action, suit or proceeding in which we or any of our subsidiaries are named by reason of being a successor to the business of LPS and the cause of such action, suit or proceeding relates to the business of ServiceLink. In return, we indemnify ServiceLink for liabilities relating to, arising out of, or resulting from the conduct of our business.

Thomas M. Hagerty and Ganesh B. Rao are managing directors of THL. As of December 31, 2017, THL owned 18.5% of our common stock and may be deemed to have been an affiliate of the Company during 2017.

We purchased less than $0.1 million in software and maintenance services and recorded $0.3 million in operating expenses from these entities during the year ended December 31, 2017.

In connection with the IPO, BKFS entered into a registration rights agreement with the holders of the outstanding Units of BKFS LLC and the THL affiliates that held shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of BKFS. This agreement provides these holders (and their permitted transferees) that own 7.5% of more of our common stock with the right to require Black Knight, at its expense, to register shares of Black Knight's common stock that they hold. The agreement also provides that Black Knight will pay certain expenses of these electing holders relating to such registrations and indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise under the Securities Act. The registration rights agreement was be assigned from BKFS to Black Knight in connection with the Spin-Off.

Our audit committee has reviewed and approved each of the transactions described above in accordance with the terms of our Code of Conduct related to the approval of related party transactions, which are described below. The audit committee also discussed and approved Mr. Foley's involvement with FNF, the Vegas Golden Knights, FGL Holdings and Cannae.

Pursuant to our codes of ethics, a "conflict of interest" occurs when an individual's private interest interferes or appears to interfere with our interests, and can arise when a director, officer or employee

takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Anything that would present a conflict for a director, officer or employee would also likely present a conflict if it is related to a member of his or her family. Our code of ethics states that clear conflict of interest situations involving directors, executive officers and other employees who occupy supervisory positions or who have discretionary authority in dealing with any third party specified below may include the following:

It is our policy to review all relationships and transactions in which we and our directors or executive officers (or their immediate family members) are participants in order to determine whether the director or officer in question has or may have a direct or indirect material interest. Our Chief Compliance Officer, together with our legal staff, is primarily responsible for developing and implementing procedures to obtain the necessary information from our directors and officers regarding transactions to/from related persons. Any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest must be discussed promptly with our Chief Compliance Officer. The Chief Compliance Officer, together with our legal staff, then reviews the transaction or relationship, and considers the material terms of the transaction or relationship, including the importance of the transaction or relationship to us, the nature of the related person's interest in the transaction or relationship, whether the transaction or relationship would likely impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in our best interest, and any other factors such officer deems appropriate. After reviewing the facts and circumstances of each transaction, the Chief Compliance Officer, with assistance from the legal staff, determines whether the director or officer in question has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction and whether or not to approve the transaction in question.

With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President, Finance, our codes of ethics require that each such officer must:

In the case of any material transactions or relationships involving our Chief Financial Officer or our Senior Vice President, Finance, the General Counsel must submit a list of any approved material transactions semi-annually to the audit committee for its review.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission rules, certain transactions in which we are or will be a participant and in which our directors, executive officers, certain shareholders and certain other related persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest are required to be disclosed in this related person transactions section of our proxy statement. In addition to the procedures above, our audit committee reviews and approves or ratifies any such transactions that are required to be disclosed. The committee makes these decisions based on its consideration of all relevant factors. The

review may be before or after the commencement of the transaction. If a transaction is reviewed and not approved or ratified, the committee may recommend a course of action to be taken.

Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company's executive officers and directors to file reports of their ownership, and changes in ownership, of the Company's common stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers and directors are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission's regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16 and the Company is required to report in this Proxy Statement any failure of its directors and executive officers to file by the relevant due date any of these reports during fiscal year 2017. Based solely upon a review of these reports, we believe all directors and executive officers of the Company complied with the requirements of Section 16(a) in 2017.

Any proposal that a shareholder wishes to be considered for inclusion in the proxy and proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in 2019 must be received by the Company no later than January 2, 2019. Any other proposal that a shareholder wishes to bring before the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders without inclusion of such proposal in the Company's proxy materials must also be received by the Company no later than January 2, 2019. All proposals must comply with the applicable requirements or conditions established by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company's bylaws, which requires among other things, certain information to be provided in connection with the submission of shareholder proposals. All proposals must be directed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at 601 Riverside Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida 32204. The persons designated as proxies by the Company in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will have discretionary voting authority with respect to any shareholder proposal for which the Company does not receive timely notice.
