CoreLogic® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global property data and analytics-driven solutions provider, issued the following statement following its meeting today with Senator Investment Group LP and Cannae Holdings Inc.:
“Members of the Company’s Board of Directors and senior management met today with representatives of Cannae and Senator to learn more about their unsolicited proposal and discuss our value drivers and why our Board believes their current proposal significantly undervalues CoreLogic. We also discussed deal certainty, including financing and regulatory concerns.
“Despite the Company’s recent guidance update for 2020 and disclosure of financial projections for 2021 and 2022, Senator and Cannae have not revised their proposal to deliver appropriate value to our shareholders. We are open to continuing our dialogue, but we are focused on delivering superior shareholder value by executing on our plan. We are experiencing strong momentum across our business and will update the market when we release our second quarter earnings.”
CoreLogic announced on July 7, 2020 that its Board of Directors had unanimously rejected the unsolicited proposal from Senator/Cannae that it received on June 26, 2020, to acquire all outstanding common shares of CoreLogic for $65.00 per share in cash. After a careful and thorough review, conducted in consultation with its independent financial and legal advisors, CoreLogic’s Board of Directors unanimously concluded that the unsolicited proposal significantly undervalues the Company and is not in the best interests of its shareholders.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It
In the event that Senator and Cannae file a consent solicitation statement or a proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with a solicitation to, among other things, possibly remove directors in furtherance of the Unsolicited Proposal (the “Solicitation”), the Company plans to file a proxy statement or a consent revocation statement, as applicable (each, a “Solicitation Statement”), with the SEC, together with a WHITE proxy card or consent revocation card, as applicable. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE APPLICABLE SOLICITATION STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT THE COMPANY WILL FILE WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Shareholders will be able to obtain, free of charge, copies of the Solicitation Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto and any other documents (including the WHITE proxy card or consent revocation card, as applicable) when filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the Solicitation at the SEC’s website (http://www.sec.gov), at the Company’s website (https://investor.corelogic.com), or by contacting Innisfree M&A Incorporated by phone toll-free at (877) 750-9498 (from the U.S. and Canada) or +1 (412) 232-3651 (from other locations), or by mail at Innisfree M&A Incorporated, 501 Madison Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, New York, 10022.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company, its directors and certain of its executive officers and other employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from shareholders in connection with the Solicitation.

Information relating to the foregoing can also be found in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2020 annual meeting of shareholders (the “2020 Proxy Statement”), filed with the SEC on March 19, 2020. To the extent holdings of the Company’s securities by such potential participants (or the identity of such participants) have changed since the information printed in the 2020 Proxy Statement, such information has been or will be reflected on Statements of Change in Ownership on Forms 3 and 4 filed with the SEC.
