NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note A — Basis of Financial Statements

The following describes the significant accounting policies of Cannae Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "we," "us," "our,” "Cannae," "CNNE," or the "Company"), which have been followed in preparing the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Description of the Business

We primarily acquire interests in operating companies and are engaged in actively managing and operating a core group of those companies, which we are committed to supporting for the long term. From time to time, we also seek to take meaningful equity ownership stakes where we have the ability to control or significantly influence quality companies, and we bring the strength of our operational expertise to each of our subsidiaries. We are a long-term owner that secures control and governance rights of other companies primarily to engage in their lines of business and we have no preset time constraints dictating when we sell or dispose of our businesses. We believe that our long-term ownership and active involvement in the management and operations of companies helps maximize the value of those businesses for our shareholders. Our primary assets as of September 30, 2023 include our ownership interests in Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. ("Dun & Bradstreet" or "D&B"); Ceridian HCM Holding, Inc. ("Ceridian"); Alight, Inc. ("Alight"); Paysafe Limited ("Paysafe"); Sightline Payments Holdings, LLC ("Sightline"); System1, Inc. ("System1"); Black Knight Football and Entertainment, LP ("BKFE"); Computer Services, Inc. ("CSI"); AmeriLife Group, LLC ("AmeriLife"); O'Charley's Holdings, LLC ("O'Charley's"); 99 Restaurants Holdings, LLC ("99 Restaurants"); and various other controlled portfolio companies and minority equity ownership interests.

See Note E - Segment Information for further discussion of the businesses comprising our reportable segments.

We conduct our business through our wholly-owned subsidiary Cannae Holdings, LLC ("Cannae LLC"), a Delaware limited liability company. Our board of directors ("Board") oversees the management of the Company, Cannae LLC and its businesses, and the performance of our external manager, Trasimene Capital Management, LLC ("Trasimene" or our "Manager").

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include the historical accounts as well as wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All adjustments made were of a normal, recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the year ended December 31, 2022.

All intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our ownership interests in non-majority-owned partnerships and affiliates are accounted for under the equity method of accounting or as equity securities. Earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations represents the portion of our majority-owned subsidiaries' net earnings or loss that is owned by noncontrolling shareholders of such subsidiaries. Noncontrolling interest recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the portion of equity owned by noncontrolling shareholders in our consolidated subsidiaries.

Management Estimates

The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include the fair value measurements (See Note B - Investments and Note C - Fair Value Measurements). Actual results may differ from estimates.

Recent Developments

Ceridian

In February 2023, we completed the sale of 1.0 million shares of common stock of Ceridian. In connection with the sale, we received proceeds of $78.0 million.

CANNAE HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

In September 2023, we completed the sale of 1.0 million shares of common stock of Ceridian. In connection with the sale, we received proceeds of $66.7 million.

We owned 4.0 million shares of Ceridian common stock as of September 30, 2023, which represented approximately 2.6% of its outstanding stock as of September 30, 2023.

Refer to Note B - Investments and Note C - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership interest in Ceridian and other equity securities.

Dun & Bradstreet

On February 9, 2023, April 26, 2023 and July 26, 2023, the board of directors of D&B declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.05 per share of DNB common stock. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received $11.9 million of cash dividends from D&B which are recorded as a reduction to the basis of our recorded asset for D&B.

As of September 30, 2023, we owned 79.0 million shares of D&B, which represented approximately 18.0% of its outstanding common stock.

See Note B - Investments for further discussion of our accounting for our ownership interest in D&B and other equity method investments.

Black Knight Football and Entertainment

In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we invested $109.8 million in BKFE. BKFE used the proceeds from investments from Cannae and others to further invest in its infrastructure and playing squad. As of September 30, 2023, we hold a 48.2% ownership interest in BKFE.

Other Developments

On August 3, 2022, our Board authorized a three-year stock repurchase program, (the "2022 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions through August 3, 2025. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time.

On October 29, 2023, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program, (the "2023 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The 2023 Repurchase Program does not supersede or impact the repurchase capacity under the 2022 Repurchase Program.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 2,679,052 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $51.1 million in the aggregate, or an average of $19.06 per share, pursuant to the 2022 Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 5,744,856 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $111.5 million in the aggregate, or an average of $19.41 per share, pursuant to the 2022 Repurchase Program. We accrued $1.1 million for the associated excise tax on the transactions which is included in the book value of the treasury stock repurchased. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we repurchased 52,567 shares of Cannae Common Stock for approximately $1.0 million.

On May 22, 2023, we invested $52.1 million for an 89% ownership interest in High Sierra Distillery, LP ("Minden Mill"). Minden Mill, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns and operates an estate distillery and related hospitality venues. Entities affiliated with our chairman, William P. Foley II, are the general partner of Minden Mill and manage all aspects of its operation. The investment in Minden Mill is accounted for as an investment in an unconsolidated affiliate. See Note B - Investments for further discussion of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

On September 30, 2023, the Company, Cannae LLC and Trasimene entered into a Second Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement (the "Amended MSA") which amends and restates the Management Services Agreement dated as of August 27, 2019, as amended on January 27, 2021 and further amended on August 4, 2021 (the "Original MSA"). The Amended MSA amends and restates the Original MSA primarily to (i) reduce the management fee from 1.5% to 1.25% for amounts greater than $2.5 billion of cost of invested capital, (ii) reduce the base fee for terminating the agreement from the average annual management fee for the preceding 24-month period as of a termination date (approximately $40 million for the period ended September 30, 2023) to $20 million, except in the event the termination results from a third-party change of control in which case the base fee is $40 million, and (iii) require all transactions with affiliates of the Manager be reviewed by a new Related Person Transaction Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Amended MSA has an initial term of

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

five years. The Amended MSA will be automatically renewed for one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either the Company or the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Amended MSA.

Related Party Transactions

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred management fee expenses payable to our Manager of $9.7 million and $28.7 million, respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $9.7 million and $30.9 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred $1.9 million and $49.3 million, respectively, of carried interest expense related to the disposition of certain of the Company's assets and ownership interests. These expenses are recorded in Other operating expenses on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

In periods when earnings are positive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities. For periods when we recognize a net loss, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share as the impact of assumed conversions of potentially dilutive securities is considered to be antidilutive. We have granted certain shares of restricted stock that have been treated as common share equivalents for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share for periods in which positive earnings have been reported.

Instruments that provide the ability to purchase shares of our common stock that are antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 there were 0.1 million and zero antidilutive shares of restricted stock outstanding, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there were zero and 0.1 million antidilutive shares of restricted stock outstanding, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 21.9% and 11.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 27.1% and 26.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding prior year periods was primarily attributable to the varying impact of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates on income tax (benefit) expense.

We have a Deferred tax asset of $84.5 million and $22.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The $61.8 million change in deferred taxes in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates and impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset by sales of Ceridian shares and mark-to-market gains recorded on Ceridian.

Leases and Property and Equipment

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 we recorded $21.9 million and $23.2 million, respectively, of impairment to Lease assets, and $6.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively, of impairment to Property and equipment. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 we recorded $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of impairment to Lease assets, and $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of impairment to Property and equipment. The impairments relate primarily to our Restaurant Group for O'Charley's stores that have closed or are expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. All such impairments are included in Other operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have completed our evaluation of the recently issued accounting pronouncements and we did not identify any that are expected to, if currently adopted, have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

System1

As of September 30, 2023, the book value of our investment in System1 accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to any impairment was $96.5 million. Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of System1 common stock was approximately $32.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of System1, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on System1's business, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in System1 was other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $63.9 million which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, there was a $(60.4) million difference between the amount of our recorded ownership interest in System1 and the amount of the Company's ratable portion of the underlying equity in the net assets of System1. The basis difference was reduced upon the impairment of our investment in System1 as of September 30, 2023 described above. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment of the new basis difference to System1's identifiable net assets.

Sightline

As of September 30, 2023, the book value of our investment in Sightline accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to any impairment was $232.5 million. Based on a valuation using a hybrid discounted cash flow and market comparison approach, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of Sightline equity was approximately $162.3 million as of September 30, 2023. The fair value measurement is considered a level 3 fair value measure. The primary inputs in the valuation were the forecasted results of operations of Sightline and the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The primary significant unobservable input used was the 29% discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis.

Due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of Sightline, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on Sightline's business, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in Sightline was other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $70.2 million which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, there was a $114.7 million difference between the amount of our recorded ownership interest in Sightline and the amount of the Company's ratable portion of the underlying equity in the net assets of Sightline. The basis difference was reduced upon the impairment of our investment in Sightline as of September 30, 2023 described above. The Company is currently evaluating the accounting treatment of the new basis difference to Sightline's identifiable net assets.

Unrealized gains (losses) recognized during the reporting period on equity securities held at the reporting date	$	3.5	$	52.8	$	14.7	$	(291.5)

Equity Security Investments Without Readily Determinable Fair Values

We account for our investments in AmeriLife and certain other ownership interests at cost less impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly market transactions. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have $121.9 million and $114.8 million, respectively, recorded for such investments, which is included in Other long term investments and noncurrent assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an impairment of $9.0 million to certain of our equity ownership interests without readily determinable fair values. The amount of the impairment was determined based on the valuation of the investee implied by a contemplated sale to a third-party. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded an impairment of $32.8 million to certain of our equity ownership interests without readily determinable fair values. The amount of the impairment charge was determined based on the valuation of investee implied by a third-party investment.

Note C — Fair Value Measurements

The fair value hierarchy established by the accounting standards on fair value measurements includes three levels, which are based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities that are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that we have the ability to access.

Level 2. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3. Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on model inputs that are unobservable.

Additional information regarding the fair value of our investment portfolio is included in Note B - Investments.

Note D — Variable Interest Entities

The Company, in the normal course of business, engages in certain activities that involve variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which are legal entities in which a group of equity investors individually lack any of the characteristics of a controlling interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is generally the enterprise that has both the power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company evaluates its interest in certain entities to determine if these entities meet the definition of a VIE and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary and should consolidate the entity based on the variable interests it holds both at inception and when there is a change in circumstances that requires a reconsideration. If the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, it must account for the VIE as a consolidated subsidiary. If the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE but holds a variable interest in the entity, such variable interests are accounted for under accounting standards as deemed appropriate. As of and for the periods ended September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we are not the primary beneficiary of any VIEs.

Unconsolidated VIEs

The table below summarizes select information related to variable interests held by the Company as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, of which we are not the primary beneficiary:

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held variable interests in certain unconsolidated affiliates, which are primarily comprised of our ownership interests in BKFE, CSI and Minden Mill. Cannae does not have the power to direct the

13

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) — continued

activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these unconsolidated affiliates; therefore, we are not the primary beneficiary.

The principal risk to which these investments and funds are exposed is the credit risk of the underlying investees. Cannae has guaranteed certain payment obligations of BKFE related to investment commitments associated with its acquisitions of interests in football clubs. These BKFE obligations total an estimated amount of approximately $63.6 million in the aggregate as of the date of this Quarterly Report and are potentially payable at various increments over the next approximately five years. The underlying obligation of BKFE to fund these amounts is contingent on the exercise of certain investment options by BKFE or other parties. Cannae is required to fund such payments solely to the extent BKFE is unable to meet these obligations. We do not provide any other implicit or explicit liquidity guarantees or principal value guarantees to these VIEs.

The assets are included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliates on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See Note B - Investments for further discussion of our accounting for investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

2020 Margin Facility

On November 30, 2020, Cannae Funding C, LLC ("Borrower 1"), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, and Cannae Funding D, LLC ("Borrower 2" and, together with Borrower 1, the "Borrowers"), an indirect wholly-owned special purpose subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Margin Loan Agreement (the "2020 Margin Facility") with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada. On June 16, 2023, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended to, among other things, lower the immediate capacity from $250 million to $150 million. On August 17, 2023, the 2020 Margin Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity of the agreement to August 17, 2026, (ii) add 40 million shares of common stock of Alight to the pool of collateral, and (iii) change the spread from 358 to 375 basis points.

Under the 2020 Margin Facility, as amended, the Borrowers may borrow up to $150.0 million in revolving loans and, subject to certain terms and conditions, may enter into an amendment to the 2020 Margin Facility to borrow up to $500.0 million in revolving loans (including the initial revolving loans) from the same initial lender and/or additional lenders on substantially identical terms and conditions as the initial revolving loans. The 2020 Margin Facility matures on August 17, 2026. Outstanding amounts under the 2020 Margin Facility, if any, bear interest quarterly at a rate per annum equal to a three-month adjusted SOFR plus an applicable margin. The 2020 Margin Facility requires the Borrowers to maintain a certain loan-to-value ratio (based on the value of Ceridian, D&B and Alight shares). In the event the Borrowers fail to maintain such loan-to-value ratio, the Borrowers must post additional cash collateral under the Loan Agreement and/or elect to repay a portion of the revolving loans thereunder, or sell the Ceridian, D&B and/or Alight shares and use the proceeds from such sale to prepay a portion of the revolving loans thereunder.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023 we borrowed and repaid $50 million under the 2020 Margin Facility.

As of September 30, 2023, there was no outstanding balance under the 2020 Margin Facility, $150.0 million of unused capacity with an option to increase the capacity to $500.0 million upon amendment, and 4 million shares of Ceridian, 35 million shares of D&B and 40 million shares of Alight were pledged as collateral for borrowings.

FNF Revolver

On November 17, 2017, Fidelity National Financial, Inc. ("FNF") issued to Cannae a revolver note in aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million. On May 12, 2022, FNF and Cannae amended and restated the revolver note to, among other

things, limit the use of proceeds for borrowings thereunder to the repurchase of our own shares of common stock from FNF (as amended and restated, the "FNF Revolver"). Pursuant to the FNF Revolver, FNF may make one or more loans to us with up to $100.0 million outstanding at any time. The FNF Revolver accrues interest at one-month adjusted SOFR plus 450 basis points and matures on November 17, 2025. The maturity date is automatically extended for additional five-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion. On June 28, 2022, we completed the repurchase of all of our common stock previously held by FNF.

As of September 30, 2023, there was a $84.7 million outstanding principal amount which incurred interest at 9.95% and there is no available borrowing capacity under the FNF Revolver.

Gross principal maturities of notes payable at September 30, 2023 are as follows (in millions):

Note H — Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various pending and threatened litigation and regulatory matters related to our operations, some of which include claims for punitive or exemplary damages. Our ordinary course litigation includes purported class action lawsuits, which make allegations related to various aspects of our business. From time to time, we also receive requests for information from various state and federal regulatory authorities, some of which take the form of civil investigative demands or subpoenas. Some of these regulatory inquiries may result in the assessment of fines for violations of regulations or settlements with such authorities requiring a variety of remedies. We believe that no actions, other than those discussed below, if any, depart from customary litigation or regulatory inquiries incidental to our business.

Our Restaurant Group companies are a defendant from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including claims relating to injury or wrongful death under "dram shop" laws that allow a person to sue us based on any injury caused by an intoxicated person who was wrongfully served alcoholic beverages at one of the restaurants; individual and purported class or collective action claims alleging violation of federal and state employment, franchise and other laws; and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. Our Restaurant Group companies are also subject to compliance with extensive government laws and regulations related to employment practices and policies and the manufacture, preparation, and sale of food and alcohol. We may also become subject to lawsuits and other proceedings, as well as card network fines and penalties, arising out of the actual or alleged theft of our customers' credit or debit card information.

We review lawsuits and other legal and regulatory matters (collectively "legal proceedings") on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. When assessing reasonably possible and probable outcomes, management bases its decision on its assessment of the ultimate outcome assuming all appeals have been exhausted. For legal proceedings in which it has been determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability based on known facts that represents our best estimate is recorded. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our accrual for settlements of legal proceedings was not considered material. Actual losses may materially differ from the amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of our pending legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable. While some of these matters could be material to our operating results or cash flows for any particular period in the event of an unfavorable outcome, at present, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of currently pending legal proceedings, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On September 23, 2020, a stockholder derivative lawsuit styled Oklahoma Firefighters Pension & Retirement System, derivatively on behalf of Cannae Holdings, Inc. v. William P. Foley, II, et al., was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against the Company, certain Board members and officers of the Company, and the Manager, alleging breach of fiduciary duties relating to the Company’s Management Services Agreement. The plaintiff further alleges the Board breached their fiduciary duties by approving bonuses in connection with the initial public offering of Ceridian and the approval of an

Investment Success Incentive Plan in August 2018. Along with the Complaint, the plaintiff filed a motion for partial summary judgment as to the count seeking to void the Management Services Agreement. On January 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Management Services Agreement and plaintiff withdrew its motion for partial summary judgment as moot. On February 1, 2021, the court ordered the plaintiff's summary judgment motion withdrawn and dismissed the related count of the plaintiff's complaint. On February 18, 2021, our Board formed a Special Litigation Committee (the "SLC") consisting of two of the Board’s Directors, and has authorized the SLC, among other things, to investigate and evaluate the claims and allegations asserted in the lawsuit. The Board has also given the SLC the sole authority and power to consider and determine whether or not prosecution of the claims asserted in the lawsuit is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and what action the Company should take with respect to the lawsuit. On March 9, 2021, the Court entered a stipulated Order staying the action for six months to allow the SLC to investigate, review, and evaluate the facts, circumstances, and claims asserted in or relating to the action and to determine the Company’s response thereto.

On October 25, 2022, the parties, including the SLC acting on behalf of the Company, reached an agreement-in-principle to settle the action, subject to various terms and conditions, as well as court approval. On March 10, 2023, the parties formalized their settlement and entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release which has been filed with the court. The agreement includes, among other things, a payment of $6 million in cash to the Company, amendments to the Management Services Agreement between the Company and the Manager, and corporate governance changes. On June 8, 2023, the court entered an Order and Final Judgment approving the settlement in all respects and dismissing the lawsuit. The net settlement amount has been paid to the Company, the Management Services Agreement was amended on September 30, 2023, and the parties have complied with the remaining terms of the settlement. The net settlement is recorded in Recognized gains (losses), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. See further discussion of the Amended MSA in Note A - Basis of Financial Statements

Unconditional Purchase Obligations

We have certain unconditional purchase obligations, primarily in our Restaurant Group segment. These purchase obligations are with various vendors and are primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regards to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of September 30, 2023 to determine the amount of the obligations. Purchase obligations as of September 30, 2023 are as follows (in millions):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that our actual results could vary materially from those forward-looking statements contained herein due to many factors, including, but not limited to: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets and changes in macroeconomic conditions resulting from the outbreak of a pandemic or escalation of the current conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East; risks associated with the Investment Company Act of 1940; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates, acquisitions in lines of business that will not necessarily be limited to our traditional areas of focus, or difficulties in integrating acquisitions; significant competition that our operating subsidiaries face; risks related to the externalization of certain of our management functions to our Manager; and other risks detailed in the "Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information," "Risk Factors" and other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (our "Annual Report") and other filings with the SEC.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report.

Overview

For a description of our business, including descriptions of segments and recent business developments, see the discussion in Note A - Basis of Financial Statements to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part I, Item 2.

Business Trends and Conditions

Dun & Bradstreet. D&B believes there are several key trends in the global macroeconomic environment generating additional growth in D&B's total addressable market and increasing the demand for its solutions, including growing recognition by business of the value of analytics and data-informed business decisioning, growth in data creation and applications driven by the proliferation of new technologies with new data sets and applications, advances in analytical capabilities that are unlocking the value of data, and heightened compliance requirements in the regulatory environment for business driven by the growth of new technologies.

Restaurant Group. The restaurant industry is characterized by high capital investments for new restaurants and relatively high fixed or semi-variable restaurant operating expenses. Because of the high fixed and semi-variable expenses, changes in sales in existing restaurants are generally expected to significantly affect restaurant profitability because many restaurant costs and expenses are not expected to change at the same rate as sales. The most significant commodities that may affect our cost of food and beverage are beef, seafood, poultry, and dairy, which accounted for approximately half of our overall cost of food and beverage in the past. Generally, temporary increases in these costs are not passed on to guests; however, in the past, we have adjusted menu prices to compensate for increased costs of a more permanent nature.

We are currently operating in a period of high inflation relative to long term inflation expectations in the United States. This inflationary environment is primarily impacting the commodity and labor costs of our Restaurant Group. We have adjusted menu pricing to at least partially account for these cost increases but will continue to balance menu pricing considering the impact of inflationary pressures on costs and the value proposition offered to customers.

Average weekly sales per restaurant are typically higher in the first and fourth quarters than in other quarters, and we typically generate a disproportionate share of our earnings from operations in the first and fourth quarters. Holidays, severe weather and other disruptive conditions may impact sales volumes seasonally in some operating regions.

The Restaurant Group has undertaken a project to renegotiate or terminate leases and close O'Charley's stores with unfavorable store-level cash flow profiles. Through this process they have closed (or expect to close prior to year-end) certain O'Charley's stores. We expect the process to generally reduce the future revenue and improve the future operating profitability of our Restaurant Group, however we cannot be certain of the precise impact as of the date of this Quarterly Report. As of September 30, 2023, there are $29.6 million of liabilities recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet related to stores expected to be closed in the fourth quarter of 2023 and for which the associated lease assets and property and equipment have been fully impaired in the periods ended September 30, 2023. Such lease liabilities will be derecognized, net of any termination fees and disposal costs, when O'Charley's is legally released from the remaining liability.

See further discussion of the historical results of operations of our Restaurant Group and of stores closed as of September 30, 2023 and the impact of impairments to lease assets and property equipment in the year ended September 30, 2023 in Results of Operations - Restaurant Group below.

Our revenues and operating income in future periods will continue to be subject to these and other factors that are beyond

21

our control and, as a result, are likely to fluctuate.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report are hereby incorporated by reference. Other than as described below, there have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates - impairment monitoring. On an ongoing basis, management monitors the Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates to determine whether there are indications that the fair value of an investment may be other-than-temporarily below our recorded book value of the investment. Factors considered when determining whether a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary include, but are not limited to: the length of time and the extent to which the market value has been less than book value, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, and the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the investee for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

As of September 30, 2023, the fair value of our ownership interest in Alight based on quoted market prices was $372.1 million and the book value of our recorded asset for Alight was $523.7 million. While the fair value of our investment in Alight is below our book value, there are no other indicators that our investment is other than temporarily impaired. Alight has consistently outperformed market expectations and our expectations for its results of operations from when we initially invested in Alight. Due to these factors, we consider the decline in value to be temporary as of September 30, 2023. Though we do not currently believe our investment in Alight is other than temporarily impaired, because the fair value is currently below the book value of our investment in Alight, further declines in fair value of the investment, deterioration in Alight's actual or forecasted results of operations or adverse changes in the US macroeconomic environment could result in an impairment charge in future periods to record our asset at fair value.

As of September 30, 2023, the book value of our investment in System1 accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to any impairment was $96.5 million. Based on quoted market prices, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of System1 common stock was approximately $32.7 million as of September 30, 2023. Due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of System1, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on System1's business, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in System1 was other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $63.9 million which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the book value of our investment in Sightline accounted for under the equity method of accounting prior to any impairment was $232.5 million. Based on a valuation using a hybrid discounted cash flow and market comparison approach, the aggregate fair market value of our ownership of Sightline equity was approximately $162.3 million as of September 30, 2023. The fair value measurement is considered a level 3 fair value measure. The primary inputs in the valuation were the forecasted results of operations of Sightline and the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis. The primary significant unobservable input used was the 29% discount rate used in the discounted cash flow analysis.

Due to the quantum of the decrease in the fair market value of our ownership interest subsequent to our acquisition, declines in the forecasted results of operations and liquidity of Sightline, and the uncertainty of the impact of the economic environment on Sightline's business, management determined the decrease in value of our investment in Sightline was other-than-temporary as of September 30, 2023. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment of $70.2 million which is included in Recognized (losses) gains, net, on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2023.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 

The following is a discussion of the material fluctuations in our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022. The material changes in revenues, expenses and pre-tax loss from the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $20.9 million, or 12.7%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022.

Expenses

Our operating expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, cost of restaurant revenue, other operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization. 

Cost of restaurant revenue includes cost of food and beverage, primarily the costs of beef, groceries, produce, seafood, poultry and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, net of vendor discounts and rebates, payroll and related costs and expenses directly relating to restaurant level activities, and restaurant operating costs including occupancy and other operating expenses at the restaurant level.

23

Personnel costs include base salaries, commissions, benefits, stock-based compensation and bonuses paid to employees, and are one of our most significant operating expenses. Personnel costs that are directly attributable to the restaurant-level operations of the Restaurant Group are included in Cost of restaurant revenue. 

Other operating expenses include management fees, carried interest fees, professional fees, advertising costs, travel expenses and impairments of operating assets.

Depreciation and amortization expense consists of our depreciation related to investments in property and equipment as well as amortization of intangible assets.

Pre-Tax Loss

(Loss) earnings before income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $335.2 million, or 223.3%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022.

Income Taxes

Income tax (benefit) expense was $(40.5) million and $17.0 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 21.9% and 11.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings, such as the weighting of operating income versus other income or earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates. The change in our effective tax rate in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022 is primarily attributable to the impact of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates on income tax benefit.

Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of the following:

The following is a discussion of the material fluctuations in our consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The material changes in revenues, expenses and pre-tax loss from the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are discussed in further detail at the segment level below.

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $55.7 million, or 11.0%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022.

Pre-Tax Earnings (Loss)

(Loss) earnings before income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates increased (decreased loss) $195.8 million, or 47.0%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022.

Income Taxes

Income tax benefit was $59.7 million and $111.4 million in the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 27.1% and 26.8% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate fluctuates depending on our estimate of ultimate income tax liability and changes in the characteristics of net earnings, such as the weighting of operating income versus other income or earnings and losses of unconsolidated affiliates.

24

The change in our effective tax rate in the nine months September 30, 2023 compared to the corresponding period in 2022 is primarily attributable to the impact of equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates on income tax benefit.

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $23.4 million, or 15.1%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease was attributable to approximately $16.4 million of incremental revenue included in the three months ended September 30, 2022 associated with stores that were closed prior to September 30, 2023 and a decline in comparable store sales.

Comparable Store Sales. One method we use in evaluating the performance of our restaurants is to compare sales results for restaurants period over period. A new restaurant is included in our comparable store sales figures starting in the first period following the restaurant's first seventy-eight weeks of operations. Changes in comparable store sales reflect changes in sales for the comparable store group of restaurants over a specified period of time. This measure highlights the performance of existing restaurants, as the impact of new restaurant openings is excluded. Comparable store sales for our O'Charley's and 99

25

Restaurants brands decreased by 3.1% and 2.1%, respectively, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period in 2022. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts, partially offset by an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit.

Cost of restaurant revenue decreased directionally consistent with Restaurant revenues. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue was 88.3% and 91.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The decrease in cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue is attributable to higher costs of labor, food, and supplies in the third quarter of 2022.

Other operating expense for the Restaurant Group segment increased $31.8 million, or 370%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to impairments recorded to O'Charley's lease assets and property and equipment and lease termination and disposal costs related to the closing of stores. In the three months ended September 30, 2023 we recorded $21.9 million of impairment to Lease assets and $6.9 million of impairment to Property and equipment of our Restaurant Group. In the three months ended September 30, 2022 we recorded $0.5 million of impairment to Lease assets and $0.4 million of impairment to Property and equipment of our Restaurant Group. In the three months ended September 30, 2023, $1.8 million of disposal costs were incurred.

Loss before income taxes increased by $30.6 million, or 397.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2023 from the corresponding period in 2022. The change in loss was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Total revenues for the Restaurant Group segment decreased $58.5 million, or 12.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding period in 2022. The decrease was attributable to approximately $39.6 million of incremental revenue included in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 associated with stores that were closed prior to September 30, 2023 and a decline in comparable store sales.

Comparable Store Sales. Comparable store sales for our O'Charley's and 99 Restaurants brands decreased by 4.6% and 1.8%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the comparable period in 2022. The decrease in 2023 is primarily attributable to a decrease in guest counts, partially offset by an increase in the average amount spent by customers each visit.

Cost of restaurant revenue decreased directionally consistent with Restaurant revenues. Cost of restaurant revenue as a percentage of restaurant revenue was 88.4% and 89.9% in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Other operating expense for the Restaurant Group segment increased $33.1 million, or 118.6%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the corresponding periods in 2022. The increase is primarily attributable to the impairments recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Loss before income taxes increased by $33.9 million, or 218.7%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from the corresponding period in 2022. The change in income was primarily attributable to the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements. Our short and long term cash requirements include personnel costs, operating expenses, taxes, payments of interest and principal on our debt, capital expenditures, and other potential business acquisitions or investments. There are no restrictions on our retained earnings regarding our ability to pay dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Additional uses of cash flow over the short and long term are expected to include stock repurchases, acquisitions, and debt repayments.

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $58.1 million, of which $42.5 million was cash held by the corporate holding company, $18.5 million of short-term investments held by the corporate holding company, and $150.0 million of capacity under our existing holding company credit facilities with the ability to add an additional $350.0 million of borrowing capacity by amending our 2020 Margin Facility. As of September 30, 2023, $10.3 million of our short term investments are pledged as collateral for letters of credit for our Restaurant Group.

We continually assess our capital allocation strategy, including decisions relating to monetizing investments, reducing debt, repurchasing our stock, and/or conserving cash. We believe that all anticipated cash requirements for current operations will be met from internally generated funds, cash dividends from subsidiaries, cash generated by investment securities, potential sales of non-strategic assets, and borrowings on existing credit facilities. Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are monitored regularly to ensure that we can meet our cash requirements. We forecast the needs of all of our subsidiaries and periodically review their short-term and long-term projected sources and uses of funds, as well as the asset, liability, investment and cash flow assumptions underlying such forecasts.

We are focused on evaluating our assets and ownership interests as potential vehicles for creating liquidity. Our intent is to use that liquidity for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions, potentially reducing debt, repurchasing shares of our stock, other strategic initiatives and/or conserving cash.

Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Operating Cash Flow. Our cash flows used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 totaled $54.5 million and $186.8 million, respectively. The decrease in cash used in operations of $132.3 million is primarily attributable to higher tax payments, carried interest expense incurred with our Manager and ISIP bonuses paid in the 2022 period.

Investing Cash Flows. Our cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $(33.6) million and $562.3 million, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by (increase in cash used in) investing activities of $595.9 million in the 2023 period from the 2022 period is primarily attributable to lower proceeds from sales of investments in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period.

Financing Cash Flows. Our cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were $101.5 million and $90.2 million, respectively. The increase in cash used in financing activities of $11.3 million is primarily attributable to less treasury stock purchased in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 as well as the proceeds from draws on the FNF Revolver in the 2022 period.

Financing Arrangements. For a description of our financing arrangements, see Note G - Notes Payable included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 2 of Part I.

29

Seasonality. There have been no material changes to the seasonality experienced in our businesses from those described for the period as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report.

Contractual Obligations. Our long-term contractual obligations generally include our credit agreements and other debt facilities, lease payments and financing obligations on certain of our premises and equipment, purchase obligations of the Restaurant Group and payments to our Manager.

Operating lease payments include the expected future rent payments of the Company and its operating subsidiaries, primarily for the Restaurant Group. The operating leases are accounted for pursuant to ASC 842 Leases.

Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable, are legally binding and specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. The Restaurant Group has unconditional purchase obligations with various vendors, primarily related to food and beverage obligations with fixed commitments in regard to the time period of the contract and the quantities purchased with annual price adjustments that can fluctuate. Future purchase obligations are estimated by assuming historical purchase activity over the remaining, non-cancellable terms of the various agreements. For agreements with minimum purchase obligations, at least the minimum amounts we are legally required to purchase are included. These agreements do not include fixed delivery terms. We used both historical and projected volume and pricing as of September 30, 2023 to determine the amount of these obligations.

On September 30, 2023, the Company, Cannae LLC and Trasimene entered into a Second Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement (the "Amended MSA") which amends and restates the Management Services Agreement dated as of August 27, 2019, as amended on January 27, 2021 and further amended on August 4, 2021 (the "Original MSA"). The Amended MSA amends and restates the Original MSA primarily to (i) reduce the management fee from 1.5% to 1.25% for amounts greater than $2.5 billion of cost of invested capital, (ii) reduce the base fee for terminating the agreement from the average annual management fee for the preceding 24-month period as of a termination date (approximately $40 million for the period ended September 30, 2023) to $20 million, except in the event the termination results from a third-party change of control in which case the base fee is $40 million, and (iii) require all transactions with affiliates of the Manager be reviewed by a new Related Person Transaction Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Amended MSA has an initial term of five years. The Amended MSA will be automatically renewed for one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either the Company or the Manager in accordance with the terms of the Amended MSA.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amended MSA, we are obligated to pay our Manager a quarterly management fee as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, payable in arrears in cash, as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Management Services Agreement. Management fees payable to our Manager are included for the new term of the Amended MSA and are based on our cost of invested capital of $2,614.6 as of September 30, 2023.

Restaurant Group financing obligations include its agreements to lease its corporate office and certain O'Charley's restaurant locations, which are accounted for as failed sale and leaseback transactions.

	2023		2024		2025		2026		2027		Thereafter		Total

Capital Stock Transactions. On August 3, 2022, our Board authorized a three-year stock repurchase program (the "2022 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions through August 3, 2025. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time.

On October 29, 2023, our Board authorized a new stock repurchase program, (the "2023 Repurchase Program"), under which the Company may repurchase up to 10.0 million shares of its common stock. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or terminated at any time. The 2023 Repurchase Program does not supersede or impact the repurchase capacity under the 2022 Repurchase Program. We have not made any purchases under the 2023 Repurchase Program.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 2,679,052 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $51.1 million in the aggregate, or an average of $19.06 per share, under the 2022 Repurchase Program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 5,744,856 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $111.5 million in the aggregate, or an average of $19.41 per share, under the 2022 Repurchase Program. We accrued $1.1 million for the associated excise tax on the transactions which is included in the book value of the treasury stock repurchased. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we repurchased 52,567 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $1.0 million under the 2022 Repurchase Program. Since the original commencement of the 2022 Repurchase Program through the date of this Quarterly Report we have repurchased 7,012,038 shares of Cannae common stock for approximately $138.3 million in the aggregate, or $19.73 per share. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there are 2,935,395 shares of common stock available for repurchase under the 2022 Repurchase Program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There have been no significant changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements since our Annual Report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is: (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

See discussion of legal proceedings in Note H - Commitments and Contingencies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1 of Part II.

Item 1A.      Risk Factors

The risk factors disclosed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, are hereby incorporated by reference. In addition, we identified the following additional risk.

An inability of our material unconsolidated affiliates to maintain effective financial reporting processes may adversely impact our ability to report our results of operations or financial condition accurately and timely.

The accuracy and timeliness of the Company's financial reporting is dependent on the timely financial reporting and effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting of our material investments in unconsolidated affiliates. Material deficiencies in the internal controls over financial reporting or other matters impacting the ability of our unconsolidated affiliates to accurately and timely report their standalone results of operations and financial condition or meet related debt covenants, if any, may cause us to be unable to report the financial information of the Company on a timely basis or reduce the value of the Company's related investment. Furthermore, restatements to prior period financial information reported by our material unconsolidated affiliates could require the Company to similarly restate its prior period financial information. If the Company is unable to timely and accurately report its financial information it could subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, including potential sanctions by the SEC or violations of applicable stock exchange listing rules. There also

31

could be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of investor confidence in us and the reliability of our financial statements. This could materially adversely affect us and lead to a decline in the price of the Company's common stock.

Cannae records its share of equity in earnings or loss of System1 on a three-month lag. As of the date of filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023, System1 had not filed its annual report for the period ended December 31, 2022, and accordingly, our equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2023 included our ratable share of System1's preliminary results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2022. On June 6, 2023, System1 finalized and filed its annual report as well as restated quarterly reports for the periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022. Based on an assessment of the impact of System1's restated results of operations and financial condition for these periods, the restatements by System1 did not have a material impact to Cannae's previously reported financial information. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, System1 has filed its quarterly reports for the period ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023. Accordingly, our net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 include our equity in System1’s loss for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
