~Repurchased 5,775,598 Cannae common shares at an average price of $18.81 per share~

Cannae Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CNNE) (“Cannae” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company has repurchased 5,775,598 shares of Cannae common stock from Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF”) at an average price of $18.81 per share through a series of transactions executed at a discount. The repurchase transactions represent FNF’s total equity ownership in Cannae which FNF received in connection with the split-off of Fidelity National Financial Ventures, Cannae’s predecessor, in 2017.

William P. Foley, II, Chairman of Cannae, commented, “Buying our shares from FNF further demonstrates our commitment to our shareholders by aggressively repurchasing our shares while also removing an overhang that existed given FNF’s requirement to sell these shares by November 2022. We remain committed to our buyback program given the current wide discount to fair value that our shares currently trade combined with the upside that we believe exists within our portfolio companies.”

Year to date, Cannae has repurchased approximately 6.8 million common shares, representing 7.8% of the Company’s shares outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Since May 2021, Cannae has repurchased approximately 11.6 million common shares, representing 12.7% of the Company’s shares outstanding as of March 31, 2021. Following this transaction, Cannae’s aggregate shares outstanding amount is 80,140,436. In addition, under the previous board approved repurchase authorization, the Company has remaining repurchase authority of 2,707,818 shares.
