The annual meeting will be held in the Board Room at 1701 Village Center Circle, Las Vegas, Nevada 89134.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY

        We are a holding company engaged in actively managing and operating a group of companies and investments with a net asset value of approximately $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2017. Our business consists of managing and operating certain majority-owned subsidiaries, as well as making additional majority and minority equity portfolio investments in businesses, in order to achieve superior financial performance and maximize the value of these assets.

        Separation from Fidelity National Financial.    Our business is composed of the businesses that formerly made up the Fidelity National Financial Ventures Group, or FNFV Group, of our former parent Fidelity National Financial, Inc., or FNF. On November 17, 2017, Fidelity National Financial, Inc., or FNF, redeemed each outstanding share of its FNFV Group common stock for one share of common stock of a newly formed entity, Cannae Holdings, Inc., with cash in lieu of fractional shares. We refer to this redemption as the Split-Off. In connection with the Split-Off, FNF contributed to us its majority and minority equity investment stakes in the entities that composed its FNFV Group, including American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC, or ABRH, Ceridian Holding, LLC, or Cerdian, T-System Holdings, LLC, or T-System, and various other controlled portfolio companies and other minority equity investments. As a result of the Split-Off, Cannae is an independent publicly traded company. On November 20, 2017, Cannae common stock began "regular-way" trading on The New York Stock Exchange under the "CNNE" stock symbol.

        For additional information on the Company and the Split-Off, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange and Commission on March 26, 2018.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

        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.

Why did I receive this proxy statement?

        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 May 8, 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.

Who is entitled to vote?

        All record holders of our common stock as of the close of business on May 8, 2018 are entitled to vote. As of the close of business on that day, 70,858,143 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and eligible to vote. Each share is entitled to one vote on each matter presented at the annual meeting.

        If you hold your common shares 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.

What shares are covered by the proxy card?

        The proxy card covers all shares of our common stock held by you of record (i.e., shares registered in your name).

How do I vote?

        You may vote using any of the following methods:

•

In person at the annual meeting.  All shareholders may vote in person at the annual meeting by bringing the enclosed proxy card or proof of identification, but if you are a beneficial owner (as opposed to a record holder), you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee and present it to the inspectors at the annual meeting with your ballot when you vote at the meeting; or



•

By proxy.  There are three ways to vote by proxy:



•

by mail, using the enclosed proxy card and return envelope;



•

by telephone, using the telephone number printed on the proxy card and following the instructions on the proxy card; or



•

by the Internet, using a unique password printed on your proxy card and following the instructions on the proxy card.

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

What does it mean to vote by proxy?

        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 President, Corporate Secretary or 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

2

Table of Contents

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.

On what am I voting?

        You will be asked to consider four proposals at the annual meeting.

•

Proposal No. 1 asks you to elect three Class I directors to serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.



•

Proposal No. 2 asks you to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers in 2017, which we refer to as the say-on-pay vote.



•

Proposal No. 3 asks you select, on a non-binding advisory basis, the frequency (every one year, every two years or every three years) with which we will hold future say-on-pay votes.



•

Proposal No. 4 asks you to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, or Deloitte, as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2018 fiscal year.

How does the Board recommend that I vote on these proposals?

        The board recommends that you vote:

1.

"FOR" the election of the three Class I director nominees to serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders;



2.

"FOR" the approval of the non-binding advisory resolution on the compensation paid to our named executive officers;



3.

For "ONE YEAR" on the selection of the frequency with which we will hold future say-on-pay votes; and



4.

"FOR" the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2018 fiscal year.

What happens if other matters are raised at the meeting?

        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 our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, all proxies given to the proxy holders will be voted in accordance with their best judgment.

What if I submit a proxy and later change my mind?

        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.

Who will count the votes?

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

Table of Contents

How many votes must each proposal receive to be adopted?

        The following votes must be received:

•

For Proposal No. 1 regarding the election of directors, a plurality of votes of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy is required to elect a director. This means that the three people receiving the largest number of votes cast by the shares entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be elected as directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes, as discussed below, will have no effect.



•

For Proposal No. 2 regarding a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote would be required for approval. Even though your vote is advisory and therefore will not be binding on the Company, the board will review the voting result and take it into consideration when making future decisions regarding the compensation paid to our named executive officers. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal and broker non-votes will have no effect.



•

For Proposal No. 3, the option of annual, biennial or triennial frequency that receives the highest number of votes cast of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote, taken together as one class of voting stock, will be the frequency of the vote on the compensation of our named executive officers that has been approved by shareholders on an advisory basis. Because this proposal seeks the input of our shareholders and provides our shareholders with the option to vote to hold a say-on-pay vote annually, biennially or triennially, there is no minimum vote requirement for this proposal. Although our board recommends holding a say-on-pay vote annually, you have the option to specify one of four choices for this proposal on the proxy card: one year, two years, three years or abstain, and the outcome will be determined by the option that receives a plurality of the votes cast with respect to this matter. Abstentions will have no effect. You are not voting to approve or disapprove of the board's recommendation. Even though your vote is advisory and therefore will not be binding on the Company, the board will review the voting results and take them into consideration when making future decisions regarding the frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation.



•

For Proposal No. 4 regarding the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte, under Delaware law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote would be required for approval. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Because this proposal is considered a "routine" matter under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, nominees may vote in their discretion on this proposal on behalf of beneficial owners who have not furnished voting instructions.

What constitutes a quorum?

        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.

What are broker non-votes? If I do not vote, will my broker vote for me?

        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 ten days before the meeting. If that happens, the nominees may vote those shares only on matters deemed "routine" by

4

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 Proposal 4 regarding the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm, are not "routine" matters. On non-routine matters, such as Proposals No. 1, 2 and 4, 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.

What effect does an abstention have?

        With respect to Proposal Nos. 1 and 3, 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 2 and 4, 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.

Who pays the cost of soliciting proxies?

        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 material 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. In addition, the Company has retained Georgeson Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies for an estimated fee of $9,000 plus reimbursement of expenses.

What if I share a household with another shareholder?

        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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS

Corporate Governance Guidelines

        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. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address the composition of the board of directors, the selection of directors, the functioning of the board of directors, the committees of the board of directors, the evaluation and compensation of directors and the expectations of directors, including ethics and conflicts of interest. These guidelines specifically provide that a majority of the members of the board of directors must be outside directors whom the board of directors has determined have no material relationship with us and whom otherwise meet the independence criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange. The board of directors reviews these guidelines and other aspects of our governance at least annually. A copy of our Corporate Governance Guidelines is available for review on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.cannaeholdings.com. Shareholders may also obtain a copy by writing to the Corporate Secretary at the address set forth under "Available Information" below.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

        Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, which is applicable to our President, our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Accounting Officer , 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 reinforce 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 Investor Relations page of our website at www.cannaeholdings.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 Investor Relations page of our website at www.cannaeholdings.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.

The Board

        Our board is composed of William P. Foley, II, Hugh R. Harris, Malcolm C. Holland, Frank R. Martire, James B. Stallings, Jr. and Frank P. Willey, with Mr. Foley serving as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Foley served as our Executive Chairman until May 7, 2018. Following our Initial Public Offering, our Board of Directors consisted of six directors in three classes as follows: C. Malcolm Holland and James B. Stallings, Jr. (Class I); Hugh R. Harris and Frank R. Martire (Class II); and William P. Foley, II and Frank P. Willey (Class III). In connection with the upcoming annual meeting of shareholders, the Board determined to nominate Richard N. Massey for election by the shareholders as a Class I director at the annual meeting and to expand the Board to seven directors immediately prior to Mr. Massey's election. In connection with making its nominations for election to the Board by the shareholders, the Board determined, and each sitting director agreed, to reconstitute the composition of the Board's classes as follows: William P. Foley, II and Frank R. Martire (Class I); James B. Stallings, Jr. and Frank P. Willey (Class II); and Hugh R. Harris and C. Malcolm Holland (Class III).

        Our board has nominated Richard N. Massey for election by the shareholders at the annual meeting. Our board nominated Mr. Massey because he is extremely familiar with our business and those of our subsidiaries and portfolio invesments as a result of his longtime service on our former parent FNF's board, and because our board believes his longtime experience in the areas of corporate finance and investment banking and as a financial and legal advisor to public and private businesses, as well as his expertise in identifying, negotiating and consummating mergers and acquisitions, represent valuable skill sets as our board oversees our Company.

        Because the Split-Off was completed on November 17, 2017, our board did not meet in 2017. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the board and of the committees on which they served during 2017. We expect that, going forward, our board will meet at least quarterly and our non-management directors will meet 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.

Director Independence

        All of our directors are non-employees. The board of directors determined that Hugh R. Harris, C. Malcolm Holland, Frank R. Martire, Richard N. Massey and James B. Stallings are independent under the criteria established by the New York Stock Exchange and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The board of directors also determined that Messrs. Martire, Harris and Holland meet the additional independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange for compensation committee members.

        In determining independence, the board considered all relationships that might bear on our directors' independence from Cannae. The board of directors determined that William P. Foley, II is not independent because he served as Executive Chairman and an employee of Cannae until May 7, 2018 and Frank P. Willey is not independent because he is a partner in a law firm that received payments from our former parent FNF during 2017 for legal services principally relating to defending title claims. Mr. Willey's law firm does not provide legal services to Cannae.

Table of Contents

        In considering the independence of Hugh R. Harris, C. Malcolm Holland, Frank R. Martire and Richard N. Massey, the board of directors considered the following factors:

•

Mr. Massey serves as a director of and owns equity interests in FNF, our former parent, and Black Knight, which was a subsidiary of FNF until September 2017. He also holds an equity interest in and formerly served as a director of ServiceLink Holdings, LLC, a subsidiary of FNF.



•

Mr. Massey is a partner of Westrock Capital, LLC, a private investment partnership that holds, among other investments, an investment of less than 10% of the ownership interests in American Blue Ribbon Holdings, LLC, in which we hold a majority ownership interest.



•

Messrs. Harris, Martire, Massey and Willey each own a minority interest in Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LLC, which owns the Vegas Golden Knights. Mr. Foley is the majority interest holder, and is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LLC.

        The board of directors determined that these relationships were not of a nature that would impair the independence of Messrs. Harris, Martire or Massey. Messrs. Holland and Stallings had no relationships with the Company that required consideration in determining their independence.

Committees of the Board

        The board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee. The charter of each of the audit, compensation and corporate governance and nominating committee is available on the Investor Relations page of our website at www.cannaeholdings.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.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

        The members of the corporate governance and nominating committee are Hugh R. Harris (Chair), C. Malcolm Holland and Frank R. Martire. Each of Messrs. Harris, Holland and Martire was deemed to be independent by the board, as required by the New York Stock Exchange. The corporate governance and nominating committee did not meet in 2017.

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

•

identifying individuals qualified to become members of the board and making recommendations to the board regarding nominees for election;



•

reviewing the independence of each director and making a recommendation to the board with respect to each director's independence;



•

developing and recommending to the board the corporate governance principles applicable to us and reviewing our corporate governance guidelines at least annually;



•

making recommendations to the board with respect to the membership of the audit, compensation and corporate governance and nominating committees;



•

overseeing the evaluation of the performance of the board and its committees on a continuing basis, including an annual self-evaluation of the performance of the corporate governance and nominating committee;



•

considering director nominees recommended by shareholders; and



•

reviewing our overall corporate governance and reporting to the board on its findings and any recommendations.

Audit Committee

        The members of the audit committee are James B. Stallings, Jr. (Chair), Hugh R. Harris and Frank R. Martire. 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 Mr. Stallings, Mr. Harris and Mr. Martire is an audit committee financial expert, as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The audit committee met one time in 2017.

        The primary functions of the audit committee include:

•

appointing, compensating and overseeing our independent registered public accounting firm;



•

overseeing the integrity of our financial statements and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;



•

discussing the annual audited financial statements and unaudited quarterly financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm;



•

establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints (including anonymous complaints) we receive concerning accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters or potential violations of law;



•

approving audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm;



•

discussing earnings press releases and financial information provided to analysts and rating agencies;



•

discussing with management our policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and risk management;



•

reviewing any material transaction between our chief financial officer or chief accounting officer that has been approved in accordance with our Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, and providing prior written approval of any material transaction between us and our President; and



•

producing an annual report for inclusion in our proxy statement, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

        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, which we refer to as the Exchange Act.

Report of the Audit Committee

        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 our audit committee is oversight of (i) the quality and integrity of our financial statements and related disclosures, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the independent registered public accounting firm's qualifications and independence, and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. Our audit committee acts under a written charter, and we review the adequacy of our charter at least annually. Our audit committee is comprised of the three directors named below, each of whom has 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 Mr. Stallings, Mr. Harris and Mr. Martire is an audit committee financial expert as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Table of Contents

        In performing our oversight function, we reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017. Management and Deloitte reported to us that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position and results of operations and cash flows of Cannae and its subsidiaries in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We also discussed with Deloitte 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 Deloitte 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 Deloitte's provision of non-audit services to us is compatible with their independence.

        Finally, we discussed with our internal auditors and Deloitte the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. We met with Deloitte 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 our board of directors that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, and that Deloitte be appointed independent registered public accounting firm for Cannae 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 our 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 our annual financial statements and expressing an opinion as to whether the statements are fairly stated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

        We have separated the positions of President and Chairman of the board of directors in recognition of the differences between the two roles. Separating these positions allows our President 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 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 President and 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. The audit committee oversees our financial reporting process, risk management program, legal and regulatory compliance, performance of the independent auditor, internal audit function, and financial and disclosure controls. Management identifies strategic risks of Cannae and aligns the annual audit plan with the auditable risks. Management also reports quarterly to the audit committee and the board of directors regarding claims. The audit committee also receives quarterly reports on compliance matters. 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 Cannae. Each committee provides reports on its activities to the full board of directors.

Contacting the Board

        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, Cannae Holdings, Inc., 1701 Village Center Circle, Las Vegas, Nevada 89134. Communications received are distributed by the Corporate Secretary to the appropriate member or members of the board.

CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT OUR DIRECTORS

Director Criteria, Qualifications and Experience and Process for Selecting Directors

        Our Split-Off from FNF was completed on November 17, 2017 and, as such, we are a newly independent public company. We actively manage a group of companies and investments with a net asset value of approximately $1.2 billion as of December 31, 2017. The businesses within our portfolio primarily consist of our majority ownership positions in ABRH and T-System and our 33% minority investment in Ceridian. Our board and management are currently focused on executing our long-term strategy of continuing our activities with respect to our business investments to achieve superior financial performance, maximize and ultimately monetize the value of those assets and to continue to pursue similar investments in businesses and to grow and achieve superior financial performance with respect to such newly acquired businesses.

        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. Our board and our corporate governance and nominating committee will continuously evaluate our board's composition with the goal of developing a board that meets 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:

•

personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments and reputation in the business community;



•

current knowledge and contacts in the communities in which we do business and in our industry or other industries relevant to our business;



•

ability and willingness to commit adequate time to the board and committee matters;



•

the fit of the individual's skills and personality with those of other directors and potential directors in building a board that is effective, collegial and responsive to our needs; and



•

diversity of viewpoints, background, experience, and other demographics, including all aspects of diversity in order to enable the Board to perform its duties and responsibilities effectively.

        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 will serve us well and that our current directors possess a strong mix of relevant experience, skills and qualifications that will result in a well-functioning board that effectively oversees our long-term strategy. 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 strategic goals and the risks we face, will be crucial to our ability to effectively execute on our long-term strategy.

        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.

Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from the programs summarized in this discussion.

Richard Cox, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer



•

Table of Contents

•

David Ducommun, Senior Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions

        Effective May 7, 2018, Mr. Foley transitioned from Executive Chairman of the Board to Chairman of the Board, a non-executive position.

        The Split-Off.    On November 17, 2017, FNF completed a split-off of Cannae by redeeming 100% of the outstanding shares of FNFV Group common stock for shares of Cannae common stock on a one-for-one basis. As a result of the Split-Off, we became an independent, publicly-traded company. Please see the section in this proxy statement titled "General Information about the Company" for additional information concerning the Split-Off.

        From the Split-Off until January 1, 2018, our named executive officers' cash compensation was paid by FNF and, except as discussed below, we have not provided employee benefits to them. For information concerning the compensation paid to Messrs. Foley and Bickett for their service to FNF through the date of the Split-Off and certain related information, see FNF's proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 2, 2018. Note that the historical compensation information included in FNF's proxy statement is not solely attributable to services performed with respect to our business and assets. Rather it reflects the full amount of compensation paid by FNF to Messrs. Foley and Bickett during the applicable period.

        Cannae-Specific Programs.    In connection with the Split-Off, we adopted the Cannae Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan, or the omnibus incentive plan. We also assumed outstanding incentive awards under the Investment Success Incentive Program, a long-term incentive program that was previously maintained by FNF relating to the FNFV group of companies. We do not presently intend to provide cash incentives, other than under the Investment Success Incentive Program, although our compensation committee may decide that such incentives are warranted and in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders in the future.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our Compensation Programs are Driven by Our Business Objectives

        Following the Split-Off, our compensation committee and board of directors have been responsible for our executive compensation strategy. Our compensation committee believes it is important to reward our executives for strong returns on our investments at our portfolio companies, and to incentivize them to continue to seek to identify companies and strategic assets with attractive value propositions and structure investments to maximize their value. 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.

        For 2017, our executive compensation approach was designed with the following goals:

•

Sound Program Design.  We designed our compensation programs to fit with our company, our strategy and our culture. There are many facets and considerations that enter into this equation, some of which are discussed below in "—Compensation Best Practices." We aim to deliver a sound compensation program, reflecting a comprehensive set of data points and supporting our success.



•

Pay for Performance.  Our Investment Success Incentive Program is designed to help us maximize our return on investments by aligning our named executive officers' long-term incentive compensation with our return related to the investments. The purpose of the program is to retain and incentivize executives to identify companies and strategic assets with attractive value propositions, structure investments to maximize their value and execute on monetization and liquidity opportunities that will maximize returns.

18

Table of Contents

•

Competitiveness.  Total compensation is intended to be competitive in order to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and effective executives who can build shareholder value over the long term. The level of pay our compensation committee sets for each named executive officer is influenced by the executive's leadership abilities, scope of responsibilities, experience and effectiveness.



•

Incentive Pay Balance.  We believe the portion of total compensation contingent on performance should increase with an executive's level of responsibility. Incentive compensation opportunities should reward the appropriate balance of short-and long-term financial and strategic business results.



•

Investor Alignment and Risk Assumption.  We place a strong emphasis on delivering long-term results for our investors and clients and discourage excessive risk-taking by our executive officers.

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

Compensation Best Practices

        We take a proactive approach to compensation governance. Our compensation committee regularly reviews our compensation programs and makes adjustments that are believed to be in the best interests of our company and our shareholders. As part of this process, we review compensation trends and consider current best practices, and have designed our compensation programs, all with the goal of continually improving our approach to executive compensation.

        Some of the best practices adopted by our compensation committee or full board of directors include the following:

OVERVIEW OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

Principal Components of Compensation

        We link a significant portion of each named executive officer's total 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 assists 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.

20

---

Table of Contents

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

        Due to the short period from the Split-Off until the end of the year, in 2017, our executive compensation program consisted of long-term incentives, which included time-based restricted stock awards under our omnibus incentive plan. In addition, Mr. Foley received a salary for the period of time from the Split-Off. Our compensation committee determines the appropriate value of each component of our executives' compensation after considering each named executive officer'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.

        Our 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 Mr. Foley, our compensation committee considered the critical role he plays in our organization, especially with respect to achieving our strategic goals and long-term growth and success, and the paramount importance of retaining his services and continued focus and dedication. The structure and terms of the compensation provided to Mr. Foley is also reflective of the role he plays within our organization.

Analysis of Compensation Components

Base Salary

        Base salaries reflect the fixed component of the compensation for a named executive officer's ongoing contribution to the operating performance of our subsidiaries and portfolio investments and his 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. Our compensation committee will review 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, Mercer, as well as a

21

Table of Contents

number of qualitative factors, including the named executive officer's experience, knowledge, skills, level of responsibility and performance.

        In 2017, due to the short time period from the date of the Split-Off until the end of the year, we paid a base salary only to Mr. Foley, who does not receive a base salary from FNF. Our compensation committee approved a base salary for Mr. Foley of $500,000. Effective as of January 1, 2018, our other named executive officers received the following base salaries: Mr. Bickett $362,500; Mr. Cox $81,250; Mr. Gravelle $131,250; Mr. Ducommun $150,000.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

        In November 2017, we used our omnibus incentive plan to grant long-term incentive awards to our named executive officers in the form of time-based restricted stock, which vests in three equal annual installments beginning in November 2018. Our compensation committee granted awards of restricted stock to align our executives' interests with those of our shareholders and to encourage retention. The compensation committee determined to use time-based awards rather than a combination of time- and performance-based awards after considering the modest level of assured cash compensation paid to our executives as base salary and that our executives do not participate in an annual incentive compensation program, but rather are only eligible to receive performance-based payments upon a liquidity event under the Investment Success Incentive Program described below. No other equity incentive awards were awarded to our named executive officers in 2017. We anticipate making annual equity grants to all of our named executive officers and other key employees in the fourth quarter of each year going forward.

The Investment Success Incentive Program

        In connection with the Split-Off, we assumed the FNFV Investment Success Incentive Program. The Investment Success Incentive Program is designed to drive extraordinary performance by aligning a portion of our named executive officers' compensation with our investment returns.

        The Investment Success Incentive Program is a performance-based cash incentive program that FNFV established in 2014 to drive extraordinary performance by aligning a portion of management's compensation with investment returns in ABRH and Ceridian. Under the program, amounts are earned upon liquidity events that result in a positive return on our investment. For this purpose, return is determined relative to the value of our investment in the respective company or investment as of July 1, 2014, which were as follows: ABRH $314,300,000; and Ceridian $329,800,000. Upon a liquidity event, 10% of any incremental value is contributed to an incentive pool and payments are made to participants based on their allocated percentages of the pool. The allocated percentages approved in 2014 were as follows: Mr. Foley 65%; Mr. Bickett 10%; Mr. Cox 4%; Mr. Gravelle 2%; and Mr. Ducommun 3%.

        All amounts payable under the Investment Success Incentive Program are subject to our clawback policy, which is described below. Additionally, the Investment Success Incentive Program gives our compensation committee discretion to reduce or eliminate amounts that otherwise would be earned under the program's incentive formula.

        Release of Escrowed Comdata Sale Proceeds.    In the sale by Ceridian of Comdata to FleetCor in 2014, the sale consideration was paid in shares of FleetCor common stock, with approximately 25% held in escrow to cover any potential indemnity claims, and any remaining escrowed funds payable to Ceridian in annual ¹/3 installments over three years. As a result of the sale, we indirectly acquired (through our approximately 32% ownership interest in Ceridian) approximately 2.39 million shares of FleetCor common stock, with 25% of those shares held back in the indemnity escrow. The sale resulted in payments being made under the Investment Success Incentive Program in 2014; however, the FNF compensation committee exercised discretion reserved under the Investment Success Incentive Program

22

and reduced the incentives payable in 2014 by 25%, which we refer to as the Holdback Amount. In accordance with the Investment Success Incentive Program terms, the FNF compensation committee reserved the right to decide whether the Holdback Amount (or a portion of it) would be forfeited or whether it would be paid to the participants at a future date. In November 2016, approximately 50% of the remaining escrow holdback was released from escrow and we distributed approximately 50% of the Holdback Amount remaining after the November 2016 release. As a result of our assumption of the Investment Success Incentive Program following the Split-Off, in November 2017, the remaining 50% of the escrow holdback was released from escrow and we distributed the remaining 50% of the Holdback Amount.

        The following table shows the payments made to our named executive officers in connection with the 2017 release of the Holdback Amount.

        T-System Awards.    Following the acquisition of T-System on October 17, 2017, our compensation committee determined to issue awards related to T-System under the Investment Success Incentive Program. Return will be determined relative to the value of our investment in T-System as of October 17, 2017, which was $200 million. Upon a liquidity event with respect to T-System, prior to December 31, 2024, 10% of any incremental value is contributed to an incentive pool and payments are made to participants based on their allocated percentages of the pool, which are as follows: Mr. Bickett 12%; Mr. Foley 71%; Mr. Gravelle 5%; Mr. Cox 5%; and Mr. Ducommun 4%. The allocated percentages relative to prior awards reflect the committee's decision to reallocate a portion of the pool that related to previously unallocated awards and awards that had been allocated to participants who are no longer employed by Cannae.

Benefit Plans

        FNF sponsors compensation and broad-based retirement and health and welfare benefit plans in which our named executive officers and other executives and employees generally participated in 2017. We do not offer pensions or supplemental executive retirement plans for our named executive officers.

        Other Benefits.    We did not provide any perquisites in 2017, and we expect to provide few perquisites to our executives in the future. In general, the perquisites we provide will be 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 will regularly review any perquisites we provide to our executive officers.

Employment Agreements and Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits

        We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our named executive officers.

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 omnibus incentive plan and Investment Success Incentive Program and approving individual grants and awards under those plans for our executive officers.

        In November 2017, our compensation committee engaged Mercer, an independent compensation consultant, to conduct a review of our compensation programs for our named executive officers and other key executives and our board of directors. Mercer was selected, and its fees and terms of engagement were approved, by our compensation committee. Mercer 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 April 2018, the compensation committee reviewed the independence of Mercer in accordance with the rules of the NYSE regarding the independence of consultants to the compensation committee, and affirmed Mercer's independence and that no conflicts of interest existed. Mercer also assists our compensation committee in its annual review of a compensation risk assessment.

        The Chairman of our compensation committee and our Chairman, Mr. Foley, participated in the 2017 executive compensation process by making recommendations with respect to equity-based incentive compensation awards. In addition, Mr. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, coordinated with our compensation committee members and Mercer in preparing the committee's meeting agendas and, at the direction of the committee, assisted Mercer in gathering our financial information and information on our executives' existing compensation arrangements for inclusion in Mercer'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 Mercer and the individuals who participate in the compensation process, our compensation committee retains complete discretion to accept, reject or modify any compensation recommendations.

Establishing Executive Compensation Levels

        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 value 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:

•

the named executive officer's experience, knowledge, skills, level of responsibility and potential to influence company performance;



•

the named executive officer's salary levels, annual incentive awards, annual incentive award targets and long-term equity incentive awards at FNF;



•

the business environment and our business objectives and strategy;

24

---

Table of Contents

•

the named executive officer's ability to impact the Company's achievement of the goals for which the compensation program was designed, including achieving the Company's long-term financial goals and increasing shareholder value;



•

marketplace compensation levels and practices; and



•

other corporate governance and regulatory factors related to executive compensation, including discouraging our named executive officers from taking unnecessary risks.

        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.

        To assist our compensation committee, Mercer 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, long-term incentives, pay mix and other key statistics. This data was collected and analyzed during 2017. 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, Mercer used two marketplace peer groups: (1) asset management firms of similar size to Cannae to assess pay levels and pay delivery and (2) asset management firms larger than Cannae to inform pay delivery. The peer group consisting of similarly sized companies was based on a total asset range of 1/2 to 2 times the 2017 total assets for Cannae (which at the time was estimated to be approximately $1.6 billion, industry focus, nature and complexity of operations, and because they compete with us for business and/or executive talent.

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

        The 2017 Cannae peer groups consisted of:

Peer Group of Similarly Sized Firms to Inform Pay Levels and Pay Delivery:

Peer Group of Larger Firms to Inform Pay Delivery:

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

Our Named Executive Officers Have Significant Ownership Stakes

        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 3,488,062 shares of our common stock, which in total is equal to 4.9% of our shares entitled to vote. The fact that our executives and directors hold such a

25

---

Table of Contents

large investment in our shares is part of our company 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.

        The guidelines call for the executive to reach the ownership multiple within five 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 two of our non-employee directors met these stock ownership guidelines as of December 31, 2017. The ownership levels are shown in the "Security Ownership of Management and Directors" table above.

HEDGING AND PLEDGING POLICY

        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 Cannae securities in margin accounts or pledging them as collateral for loans without our approval.

CLAWBACK POLICY

        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.

TAX AND ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS

        Our compensation committee considers the impact of tax and accounting treatment 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. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act eliminated this performance-based compensation exception for awards that are not grandfathered and it increased the coverage of Section 162(m) to, among other things, pick up Chief Financial Officers. Consequently, we will not be able to avoid Section 162(m)'s deduction limitations by structuring performance-based awards. We will continue to monitor

26

---

Table of Contents

developments under Section 162(m) and will consider the potential non-deductibility of compensation when making compensation decisions, however, we may decide to award compensation that is non-deductible under Section 162(m).

        Our compensation committee will also consider the accounting impact 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).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

        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 of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

        In November 2017, we used our omnibus incentive plan to grant long-term incentive awards to our named executive officers in the form of time-based restricted stock, which vests in three equal annual installments beginning in November 2018.

        More information about the long term equity incentive awards can be found in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

        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 in control. The amounts described in this section reflect amounts that would have been payable under our plans.

29

Table of Contents

        We describe the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our named executive officers upon a change in control without a termination of employment. We also describe the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to our named executive officers upon a termination of employment due to disability or death. We do not provide our named executive officers with severance or enhanced payments upon a voluntary termination by the executive, with or without good reason, or a termination by us either for cause or not for cause.

        Upon a termination of employment, the named executive officers would be entitled to benefits that are available generally to our salaried employees 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.

Potential Payments under our Omnibus Incentive Plan

        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:

•

an acquisition by an individual, entity or group of 50% or more of our voting power (except for acquisitions by us or any of our employee benefit plans),



•

during any period of two consecutive years, a change in the majority of our board of directors, unless the change is approved by 2/3 of the directors then in office,



•

a reorganization, merger, share exchange, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets; excluding, however, a transaction pursuant to which we retain specified levels of stock ownership and board seats, or



•

our shareholders approve a plan or proposal for our liquidation or dissolution.

Estimated Cash Payments upon Termination of Employment

        For a termination of employment, none of the named executive officers would be entitled to severance or enhanced payments or benefits.

Estimated Equity Payments upon Change in Control

        As disclosed in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Year End table, each named executive officer had outstanding unvested restricted stock awards on December 31, 2017. Under the terms of our omnibus plan and award agreements, these restricted stock awards would vest upon a change in control. In addition, these restricted stock awards would vest, pro-rata based upon the number of completed months of employment prior to the date of termination upon a termination of employment due to death or disability. In any other termination event, all restricted stock awards would expire at the employment termination date.

        The following estimates are based on a common stock price of $17.03 per share which was the closing prices of our common stock on December 29, 2017. The restricted stock amounts were determined by multiplying the number of shares that would vest by the applicable closing price. Our

30

Table of Contents

estimate of the value of equity that would vest assumes that a change in control and, as applicable, a termination of employment occurred on December 31, 2017. The estimated value of the restricted stock awards held by the named executive officers that would vest upon a change in control would be as follows: Mr. Foley $3,230,625; Mr. Bickett $501,908; Mr. Cox $224,983; Mr. Gravelle $363,437 and Mr. Ducommun $207,681. 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 $3,230,625; Mr. Bickett $501,908; Mr. Cox $224,983; Mr. Gravelle $363,437 and Mr. Ducommun $207,681. For any other termination of employment, none of the named executive officers would be entitled to accelerated vesting.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        The compensation committee is currently composed of Frank R. Martire (Chair), Hugh R. Harris and C. Malcolm Holland. During fiscal year 2017, no member of the compensation committee was a former or current officer or employee of Cannae or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during 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 of directors.

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 incentive programs and the internal controls and risk abatement processes that are in place for each program.

        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 return on investment at the time of a liquidity event in the Investment Success Incentive Program, together with the compensation committee's discretion to reduce awards and the fact that the awards are subject to our clawback policy, serve to mitigate excessive risk taking. The risk of overstatement of achievement under the Investment Success Incentive Program is mitigated by the compensation committee's review and approval of the value of our investment in each company for purposes of the program, and its review and approval of the value of the return on our investment upon a liquidity event. We also believe that our balance of restricted stock and use of multi-year vesting schedules in our long-term incentive awards encourages recipients to deliver incremental value to our shareholders and aligns their interests with our sustainable long-term performance, thereby mitigating risk.

Director Compensation

        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 of directors. In 2017, all non-employee directors received an annual cash retainer of $75,000, payable quarterly and prorated for the portion of the year during which we were an independent publicly traded company. The chairman and each member of the audit committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments and prorated for the portion of the year during which we were an independent publicly traded company) of $50,000 and $20,000, respectively, for their service on the Audit Committee. The chairman and each member of the Compensation Committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments and prorated for the portion of the year during which we were an independent publicly traded company) of $20,000 and $10,000, respectively, for their service on such committees. The chairman and each member of the Nominating and Governance Committee received an additional annual fee (payable in quarterly installments and prorated for the portion of the year during which we were an independent publicly traded company) of $15,000 and $10,000, respectively, for their service on such committees. In addition, in 2017 each non-employee director received a long-term incentive award of 4,065 restricted shares. Each of these restricted shares were granted under our omnibus incentive plan and vest proportionately each year over three years from the date of grant based upon continued service on our board of directors. 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:

PROPOSAL NO. 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        In accordance with Section 14A of 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.

        We believe that our compensation programs are structured to appropriately balance guaranteed base salary, long-term equity incentives and our Investment Success Incentive Program, which is designed to help us maximize our return on investments by aligning our named executive officers' long-term incentive compensation with our return related to the investments. We believe our compensation mix incentivizes our executives to identify companies and strategic assets with attractive value propositions, structure investments to maximize their value and execute on monetization and liquidity opportunities that will maximize returns for our shareholders, while providing enough ensured annual compensation in the form of base salary and equity incentives to discourage excessive risk taking.

        We urge our shareholders to read the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this proxy statement, which describes in detail our compensation philosophy and how our compensation programs operate and are designed to achieve our business and compensation objectives, as well as the "Summary Compensation Table" and other related compensation tables and disclosures, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our named executive officers.

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

"RESOLVED, that the Company's shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and Executive and Director Compensation section, the compensation tables and related narrative."

        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.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF ADVISORY
VOTES ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

        In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act and Rule 14a-21(b) promulgated thereunder, we are asking our shareholders to cast a non-binding advisory vote on whether future advisory votes to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers (commonly referred to as a "say-on-pay vote") should be held annually, biennially or triennially.

        Our board believes that our shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on the compensation of our named executive officers annually. Our executive compensation program is designed to support long-term value creation. While we believe that many of our shareholders think that the effectiveness

33

---

Table of Contents

of such programs cannot be adequately evaluated on an annual basis, the board believes that at present it should receive advisory input from our shareholders each year. The board believes that allowing our shareholders to provide us with their input on our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices as disclosed in our proxy statement every year is a good corporate governance practice that is consistent with holding the board of directors accountable to our shareholders and is in the best interests of our shareholders.

        Shareholders may vote on their preferred voting frequency by selecting the option of One Year, Two Years, Three Years or Abstain on the proxy card when voting on this Proposal No. 3. Please note that when casting a vote on this proposal, shareholders will not be voting to approve or disapprove the board's recommendation.

        The option of one year, two years or three years that receives the highest number of votes cast by shareholders will be the shareholder-approved frequency selection for the advisory vote on executive compensation. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the board or the Company, the board may decide that it is in the best interests of our shareholders and the Company to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation more or less frequently than the option receiving the most votes cast by our shareholders.

        THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR A FREQUENCY PERIOD OF "ANNUAL" (EVERY ONE YEAR) FOR FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

PROPOSAL NO. 4: RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

General Information About Deloitte & Touche LLP

        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 Deloitte & Touche 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 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 Deloitte 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.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

        The audit committee has appointed Deloitte to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the 2018 fiscal year. Deloitte has continuously acted as our independent registered public accounting firm since January 2017.

Table of Contents

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

        Audit Fees.    Audit fees consisted principally of fees for the audits, registration statements and other filings related to the Company's 2017 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 in 2017 consisted principally of fees for Service Organization Control Reports.

        Tax Fees.    Tax fees for 2017 consisted principally of fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

        All Other Fees.    All other fees relate to services provided for Service Organization Control readiness assessments.

Approval of Accountants' Services

        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 Deloitte 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 Deloitte 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 DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2018 FISCAL YEAR.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Agreements with FNF

        As a result of the Split-Off, Cannae and FNF operate separately. In connection with the Split-Off, FNF's title insurance underwriters Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Chicago Title Insurance Company and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company contributed an aggregate of $100 million to Cannae in exchange for 5,706,134 shares of Cannae common stock. As of December 31, 2017, these shares represented approximately 8% of Cannae's outstanding shares. FNF will dispose of the Cannae shares as soon as a disposition is warranted consistent with the business reasons for the ownership of the shares, but in no event later than five years after the Split-Off. In addition, FNF is subject to certain restrictions regarding voting of its Cannae shares described under "Voting Agreement" below. In addition, we and FNF have overlapping executive officers. William P. Foley, II, our Chairman, is Chairman of the Board of FNF; Brent B. Bickett, our President, is Executive Vice President of Corporate Strategy of FNF; and Michael L. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, serves as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of FNF. In addition, Richard L. Cox, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and David Ducommun, our Senior Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions, also serve as non-executive officers of FNF. In order to govern certain of the ongoing relationships between us and Cannae and to provide mechanisms for an orderly transition, we have entered into certain agreements with FNF, the terms of which are summarized below.

Reorganization Agreement

        In connection with the Split-Off, we entered into a reorganization agreement with FNF (the reorganization agreement) to provide for, among other things, the principal corporate transactions required to effect the Split-Off, certain conditions to the Split-Off and provisions governing the relationship between Cannae and FNF with respect to and resulting from the Split-Off.

        The reorganization agreement provided that, prior to the redemption date, (i) FNF would contribute to Cannae all of the assets and liabilities of Fidelity National Financial Ventures Group and (ii) subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, FNF would redeem each outstanding share of FNFV common stock for shares of Cannae common stock that FNF received pursuant to the contribution.

        The reorganization agreement also provides for mutual indemnification obligations, which are designed to make Cannae financially responsible for substantially all of the liabilities that may exist relating to the conduct of the businesses included in Cannae, whether such conduct occurred before or after the Split-Off, together with certain other specified liabilities, as well as for all liabilities incurred by Cannae after the Split-Off, and to make FNF financially responsible for all potential liabilities of Cannae which are not related to Cannae's businesses, including, for example, any liabilities arising as a result of Cannae having been a subsidiary of FNF, together with certain other specified liabilities. These indemnification obligations exclude any matters relating to taxes. The reorganization agreement also provides for each of Cannae and FNF to preserve the confidentiality of all confidential or proprietary information of the other party for five years following the closing of the Split-Off (or three years following disclosure of such information to the other party, whichever is longer), subject to customary exceptions, including disclosures required by law, court order or government regulation.

Voting Agreement

        In connection with the Split-Off and the issuance of the FNF Cannae shares, we entered into a voting agreement with FNF (the voting agreement), pursuant to which FNF agreed to cause its Cannae shares to be counted as present at any meeting of the shareholders of Cannae for the purpose of establishing a quorum. Additionally, under the voting agreement, FNF agreed to vote all of its Cannae

shares in the same manner as, and in the same proportion to, all shares voted by holders of Cannae common stock (other than FNF and its subsidiaries) until the date on which FNF and its subsidiaries no longer beneficially own shares of Cannae common stock. In addition, FNF will not deposit any of its Cannae shares into a voting trust or grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement, power of attorney or voting trust with respect to any of its Cannae shares, or take any action that would have the effect of preventing or materially delaying FNF from performing any of our obligations under the voting agreement.

Tax Matters Agreement

        We have also 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, Cannae will pay, or as applicable, indemnify the FNF Group for any losses incurred by FNF with respect to (i) any taxes attributable to the operation and investments of the Cannae Group with respect to a pre Split-Off taxable period including any reduction to such taxes by reason of the use or offset of any tax item that is allocated to FNF, (ii) any taxes incurred as a result of the contribution and redemption, and (iii) any transfer taxes arising from the contribution and redemption, in each case other than taxes that arise from a disqualifying action. FNF will pay, or as applicable, indemnify the Cannae Group for any losses incurred by the Cannae Group with respect to (i) any taxes imposed by reason of a member of the Cannae Group having been a member of an FNF consolidated group on or prior to the Split-Off date, excluding any taxes which Cannae is responsible for as described above, (ii) any reduction in a tax payable by the FNF Group by reason of the use or offset of any tax item that is allocated to Cannae, and (iii) any taxes that are attributable to a disqualifying action.

        FNF will be responsible for preparing and filing all tax returns which include one or more members of the FNF Group and one or more members of the Cannae Group. After the Split-Off, Cannae will prepare and file all tax returns of passthrough entities 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 Cannae 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 Cannae Group must waive their rights to carryback any tax attribute to a pre Split-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 Group 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 (the indemnifying party). The indemnifying party has 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. However, in the case of an audit relating to the tax free status of the transactions, FNF and Cannae will have the right to jointly control the audit.

        To the extent permitted by applicable tax law, FNF and Cannae agree to treat any payments made under the tax matters agreement as a capital contribution or distribution (as applicable) immediately prior to the Split-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.

        We also agreed with FNF to terminate any agreements that, due to applicable regulatory requirements, cannot be terminated as of closing of the Split-Off (a Regulatory Agreement). If, following the Split-Off, any member of either the FNF Group or the Cannae Group is required, pursuant to any Regulatory Agreement, to make a payment to the other group, the party whose group received such a payment will be required to make a corresponding payment in equal amount to the other party, so that each group will be in the same economic position had such Regulatory Agreement been terminated as of closing.

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

•

take, or fail to take, any action if such action, or failure to act, would be inconsistent with any covenant or representation made by Cannae or any of our subsidiaries in any transaction document, or prohibit certain restructuring transactions related to the Split-Off from qualifying for tax-free treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes;



•

during the restricted period, enter into any agreement, understanding, arrangement or substantial negotiations, pursuant to which any person or persons would (directly or indirectly) acquire, or have the right to acquire, Cannae equity interests; or



•

during the restricted period, discontinue, sell, transfer or cease to maintain its active trade or business.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, Cannae and our 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) Cannae 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 Cannae Group (or any member thereof) should not affect the tax-free status of the transactions, or (y) a private letter ruling providing that the completion of a proposed action by the Cannae Group would not affect the tax-free status of the transactions, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to FNF. In addition, under certain circumstances Cannae will be permitted to issue reasonable Cannae equity-based compensation for services rendered to a member of the Cannae Group, provided that such person is permitted to receive Cannae stock under Safe Harbor VIII in Treasury regulations section 1.355-7(d).

Corporate Services Agreement

        We entered into a corporate services agreement with FNF (the corporate services agreement) pursuant to which FNF will provide us with certain specified services, including insurance administration and risk management; other services typically performed by FNF's legal, investor relations, tax, human resources, accounting and internal audit departments; and such other similar services that we may from time to time request or require.

        FNF agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep and maintain in effect its relationships with its licensors, vendors and service providers that are integral to the provision of the corporate services to Cannae. The corporate services agreement will continue in effect until the earlier of (i) the date on which the corporate services agreement is terminated by mutual agreement of Cannae and FNF and (ii) the third anniversary of the date on which the corporate services agreement was entered into.

        During the initial three years, FNF will provide these corporate services at no-cost, other than reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by us in connection with providing such services to Cannae. If the corporate services agreement remains in place for three years and is not mutually terminated by Cannae and FNF prior to that time, following the expiration of the initial three-year term, the corporate services agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms unless FNF and Cannae mutually agree to terminate the agreement. Prior to any such one-year renewal term, FNF and Cannae will negotiate mutually agreeable arm's length terms for the compensation we will provide to FNF in exchange for the corporate services during such upcoming one-year term.

        Pursuant to the corporate services agreement, we recorded $150,759 in operating expenses from FNF from the Split-Off until December 31, 2017.

Registration Rights Agreement

        FNF's title insurance underwriter subsidiaries that own Cannae shares (the Registration Rights Agreements parties) entered into registration rights agreements with Cannae. The registration rights agreements provide the Registration Rights Agreements parties, and their permitted transferees, with the right to require Cannae, at its expense, to register shares of Cannae common stock that the Registration Rights Agreements parties hold. The agreements also provide that Cannae 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 following description summarizes such rights and circumstances.

Demand Rights

        Subject to certain limitations, beginning one year following the effectiveness of the proxy statement/prospectus related to the Split-Off, the Registration Rights Agreements parties (and their permitted transferees) will have the right, by delivering written notice to Cannae, to require Cannae to register the number of shares of common stock requested to be so registered in accordance with the registration rights agreement. Within five days following receipt of notice of a demand registration, FNF will be required to give written notice to all other beneficial holders of registrable shares of common stock that have joined the registration rights agreement. Subject to certain limitations as described below, Cannae will include in the registration all securities with respect to which it receives a written request for inclusion in the registration within ten days after FNF gives notice. Following the demand request, Cannae is required to use reasonable best efforts to have the applicable registration statement filed with the SEC within a specified period following the demand and is required to use best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective. Any demand registration must include registrable securities having an aggregate market value of at least $10 million, and holders of Cannae's registrable securities are limited to one demand registration within any nine month period.

Shelf Registration Rights on Form S-3

        If Cannae is eligible to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, holders of registrable securities with registration rights under the registration rights agreement can request that Cannae register their shares for resale. Within five days following receipt of notice of a Form S-3 registration request, Cannae will be required to give written notice to all other beneficial holders of registrable shares of common stock that have joined the registration rights agreement. Subject to certain limitations as described below, Cannae will include in the Form S-3 registration all securities with respect to which it has received a written request for inclusion in the registration within seven days after it gives notice. Following such request, Cannae is required to use reasonable efforts to have the shelf registration statement declared effective. No Form S-3 registration request may be made within nine months following a prior demand or request.

        In addition, once a shelf registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC pursuant to the forgoing, thereafter, from time to time, any holder of registrable securities that has joined the registration rights agreement may, by notice to Cannae, require Cannae to register such holder's registrable securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement.

Piggyback Rights

        Holders of registrable shares of common stock under the registration rights agreement will be entitled to request to participate in, or "piggyback" on, registrations of certain securities for sale by Cannae at any time after the Split-Off. This piggyback right will apply to any registration other than registration statements relating to any employee benefit plans, registration statements related to the issuance or resale of securities issued in connection with transactions or corporate reorganizations under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, or registration statements related to stock issued upon conversion of debt securities.

Conditions and Limitations

        The registration rights are subject to conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration statement and Cannae's right to delay, suspend or withdraw a registration statement under specified circumstances. Additionally, in certain circumstances Cannae may withdraw a registration upon request by the holder of registrable securities.

Revolver Note

        We entered into a revolver note with Cannae, which allows Cannae to borrow revolving loans from FNF from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million. The proceeds of the revolving loans may be used for investment purposes and working capital needs. The revolving loans accrue interest at LIBOR plus 450 basis points and mature on the five-year anniversary of the date of the revolver note. 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.

        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, Black Knight, FGL Holdings and Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LLC.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

        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:

•

any significant ownership interest in any supplier or customer;



•

any consulting or employment relationship with any customer, supplier or competitor; and



•

selling anything to us or buying anything from us, except on the same terms and conditions as comparable directors, officers or employees are permitted to so purchase or sell.

Table of Contents

        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 (or their immediate family member) 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 Chief Accounting Officer, our codes of ethics require that each such officer must:

•

discuss any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest with our General Counsel;



•

in the case of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, obtain the prior written approval of our General Counsel for all material transactions or relationships that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest; and



•

in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, obtain the prior written approval of the audit committee for all material transactions that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

        In the case of any material transactions or relationships involving our Chief Financial Officer or our Chief Accounting Officer, 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(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16 of the Exchange Act 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 2016. 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.
