CoreLogic Board of Directors Calls Special Meeting of Shareholders

CoreLogic® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global property data and analytics-driven solutions provider, today announced that its Board of Directors has called a Special Meeting of Shareholders on November 17, 2020. The purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and vote on the replacement of up to nine CoreLogic Directors with nominees identified by Senator Investment Group LP and Cannae Holdings Inc.

Chairman Paul Folino said, “Senator and Cannae have announced their intent to request the calling of a Special Meeting and have also stated an intent to solicit consents from other shareholders in connection with requesting a meeting. In order to remove uncertainty for our shareholders, the Board has scheduled the meeting so that Senator and Cannae will have no reason to continue the convoluted two-step solicitation process they are now pursuing.”

“The Board continues to believe Senator and Cannae’s unsolicited proposal to acquire CoreLogic at $65 per share is significantly undervalued -- and we are confident our shareholders will agree. We are laser-focused on executing on our growth strategy and continuing to deliver strong operating performance. CoreLogic is poised for an even stronger second half of 2020, and to outperform in 2021 and 2022, with accelerating growth trends, competitive wins, share gains, and incremental operating leverage.”

“Given CoreLogic’s performance and outlook, as well as recent high-multiple transactions in our sector such as Optimal Blue and Ellie Mae, we believe Senator/Cannae are significantly undervaluing CoreLogic. In our view, their call to replace the CoreLogic Board is an attempt to distract from their failure to put forward a proposal that appropriately values CoreLogic. We look forward to the Special Meeting and to continuing to meet with shareholders to discuss our progress and prospects.”

The Special Meeting agenda will also include items of business related to the amendment of CoreLogic's bylaws that Senator and Cannae indicated they intended to propose. Additional meeting details will be included in CoreLogic's forthcoming proxy statement. Shareholders need not take any action at this time.

Regarding Senator and Cannae's announced consent solicitation, even though this solicitation now has no purpose, the Board of CoreLogic set a record date of August 19, 2020 for shareholders entitled to deliver consents to request the calling of a Special Meeting.

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 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, with the SEC, together with a WHITE proxy card or consent revocation card, as applicable. In addition, the Company plans to file a proxy statement with the SEC, together with a WHITE proxy card, in connection with the special meeting of stockholders that its board of directors has called (together with the proxy statement or consent revocation referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, each, a “Solicitation Statement”). 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 applicable Solicitation Statement(s), 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.

Additional information regarding the identity of these potential participants, none of whom owns in excess of one percent (1%) of the Company’s shares, and their direct or indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be set forth in the applicable Solicitation Statement and other materials to be filed with the SEC 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.
