Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Cannae Holdings, Inc. files an amended annual report updating director, executive and governance disclosures, along with detailed discussion of its 2025 compensation program. The company highlights termination of its external Management Services Agreement with Trasimene, sharply lower related fees and a shift to a traditional salary, bonus and equity model for executives. Cannae reports reduced corporate operating expenses, significant share repurchases and a growing cash dividend, while refocusing its portfolio toward sports and entertainment assets such as Black Knight Football Club. The amendment also describes substantial board refreshment, declassification of the board over three years and responsiveness to a failed 2025 say‑on‑pay vote through lower executive pay and redesigned incentives.

Insights

Cannae overhauls governance, internalizes management and reshapes executive pay.

Cannae Holdings describes a move away from its external management model, terminating the Management Services Agreement and replacing it with a time‑limited terminal arrangement featuring a sharply lower $7.6 million annual fee for three years and a $20 million termination fee. Management also reports a $6.8 million or 10.2% reduction in 2025 corporate other operating expenses, excluding certain one‑time activism costs.

The filing details significant board changes, including an independent chair, four new independent directors and a plan to declassify the board so all directors stand for annual election by the 2028 meeting. Following a failed 2025 say‑on‑pay vote, total named executive officer compensation fell by $21.9 million or 42%, and future long‑term equity grants were reduced.

Cannae also emphasizes capital allocation: approximately $1.1 billion in share repurchases since 2021, a quarterly dividend initiated at $0.12 per share and later raised, and proceeds from the Dun & Bradstreet sale used for buybacks, dividends and debt reduction. These steps collectively indicate a stronger focus on shareholder returns and simplified oversight, though long‑term impact will depend on performance of the concentrated sports and entertainment portfolio.

Management Services Agreement financial

"agreement to wind down Cannae's Management Services Agreement which became effective September 1, 2019 among Cannae, Cannae LLC and Trasimene Capital Management, LLC"

A management services agreement is a contract where one party hires another to run specific business functions—like finance, operations, or marketing—on its behalf, similar to hiring an external manager to run part of a household. Investors care because the deal spells out fees, responsibilities, and decision-making authority, which affect a company’s costs, operational performance and governance, and can change future cash flow and risk.

Investment Success Incentive Program financial

"termination of the ISIP as detailed below… we limited our previous ISIP to only Dayforce… terminated the ISIP program"

Say-on-Pay Vote financial

"we held a non-binding advisory vote, also called the Say-on-Pay Vote, on the compensation of our named executive officers"

clawback policy financial

"maintain a clawback policy for incentive-based compensation, in compliance with NYSE listing standards"

A clawback policy is a company rule that lets the firm take back pay, bonuses or stock awards from current or former executives if results are later found to be incorrect, misconduct occurred, or targets were missed. It matters to investors because it helps protect the value of their holdings by discouraging risky or fraudulent behavior and ensuring executive rewards reflect real, verified performance—think of it as a return policy for executive pay.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of compensation programs should be read with the compensation tables and related disclosures that follow. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans and expectations regarding future compensation programs. Actual compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from the programs summarized in this discussion. The following discussion may also contain statements regarding corporate performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of our compensation programs and should not be understood to be statements of management’s expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. We specifically caution investors not to apply these statements to other contexts.

In this compensation discussion and analysis, we provide an overview of our named executive officers’ ("Named Executive Officer" or "NEO") compensation for fiscal year 2025.

In 2025, our named executive officers were:

• Ryan R. Caswell, Chief Executive Officer (beginning May 12, 2025)

• Bryan D. Coy, Chief Financial Officer

• Peter T. Sadowski, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer

• Michael L. Gravelle, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary

• William P. Foley, II, Former Chief Executive Officer (until May 12, 2025)

On May 12, 2025, the Board appointed Ryan Caswell to serve as Chief Executive Officer replacing William P. Foley, II, who transitioned to Cannae's Vice Chairman of the Board.

External Management Transition

Cannae is no longer externally managed.

On February 27, 2024, we announced an agreement to wind down Cannae's Management Services Agreement which became effective September 1, 2019 among Cannae, Cannae LLC and Trasimene Capital Management, LLC ("Trasimene" or the "Manager") in connection with Mr. Foley's transition to being Chief Executive Officer of Cannae and on May 12, 2025, the Management Services Agreement was terminated in its entirety.

Effective July 2, 2024, the Management Services Agreement was amended and restated (the "Terminal MSA"), principally to provide for the termination of the Management Services Agreement effective June 30, 2027 (the "Termination Date") and the below described roll-off new management fee and termination fee. Under the Terminal MSA, the Manager will receive $7.6 million for each of the following three years (the "New Management Fee"), which amount is a significant reduction from the $37 million paid for management fees in the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024. The Terminal MSA also provided for a $20 million termination fee payable in installments over three years (the "Termination Fee"), which amount and payment timing are also a significant reduction from the maximum $40 million termination fee under the prior Management Services Agreement. As of April 30, 2026, no further New Management Fees are due and owing only one (the last) $6.6 million Termination Fee installment will be paid on July 1, 2026, after which no further roll-off payments under the Management Services Agreement will be made.

Reduced Corporate Operational Expenses

In connection with our ongoing review of operating costs, we reduced corporate operating expenses in 2025. Excluding $5.4 million of one-time costs related to shareholder activism in 2025, Cannae reduced corporate other operating expenses (excluding Restaurant Group) by $6.8 million, or 10.2%, in 2025, compared to 2024. We expect our corporate operating expenses to decrease further in 2026, as well as we will see the run-off of multiple one-time expenses associated with Mr. Foley’s transition to non-executive Vice Chairman, the termination process of the Management Services Agreement, and termination of the ISIP as detailed below.

Significant Governance Improvements

We have taken significant actions to improve our corporate governance profile. In May 2025, William P. Foley transitioned from his roles as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chairman of the Board to serve as the Board's non-executive Vice Chairman. At that time, Douglas K. Ammerman was appointed as independent Chairman of the Board and Ryan R. Caswell, the Company’s President, began serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, our board of directors was transformed with the addition of four new independent directors: Mona Aboelnaga, William T. Royan, Chérie L. Schaible and Woodrow Tyler. As part of the transformation, we evaluated the membership of our board committees and made changes to add new voices to the important discussions that take place within our committees. Ms. Aboelnaga joined the audit committee; Ms. Schaible and Mr. Tyler joined the related person transaction committee; Mr. Holland and Mr. Royan joined the compensation committee; and Mr. Royan joined the corporate governance and nominating committee.

In addition, as part of our 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), we submitted a proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation to declassify our board of directors over a three-year phase in period beginning with our 2026 Annual Meeting. As a result, all of our directors will be elected annually at our 2028 Annual Meeting (the “Declassification”). The proposal to amend our Articles of Incorporation was approved with a 98.9% for vote.

The Board remains committed to continuous evaluation and enhancement of our governance policies and procedures consistent with best practices.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Business and Financial Highlights

We are a holding company engaged in actively managing and operating a group of companies, which we are committed to supporting for the long-term. From time to time, we also seek to take meaningful majority and minority equity ownership stakes where we have the ability to control or significantly influence quality companies, and we bring the strength of our operational expertise to each of our subsidiaries. Our strategy for the Company is to continue to manage and operate the diversified businesses within our group of companies to create long-term growth for those businesses in order to maximize the value of those businesses for our shareholders, and to pursue similar strategies and objectives when taking significant ownership stakes in new businesses.

The Company provides public market investors with access to compelling investment opportunities that are otherwise challenging to access. We believe that our ability to leverage permanent capital and duration enables us to optimize investment return across the portfolio. We operate as a long-term owner that seeks to secure control and governance rights of other companies primarily to engage in their lines of business. We have no preset time constraints dictating when we sell or dispose of our businesses, as we seek to maximize returns. These investment opportunities have resulted in an asset portfolio comprised of public and private companies.

We aim to generate returns from:

•Targeting investments in industries where our Board and management team have proven expertise;

•Leveraging our access to unique, proprietary investment opportunities not otherwise available to public market investors that can deliver outsized returns; and

•Delivering value through optimizing our portfolio companies.

In November 2025, we announced that our Board has directed our management team to initiate a plan to accelerate the transformation of our portfolio to concentrate primarily on sports and entertainment-related investments, where Cannae has demonstrated a differentiated competitive advantage. We continue to benefit from access to proprietary investment opportunities in these sectors and intend to build a more focused, efficient portfolio of synergistic assets where Cannae can actively drive value creation. As part of this transformation, we will continue to monetize non-strategic assets in a disciplined manner to redeploy capital toward higher-return opportunities.

In January 2026, we announced that Black Knight Football Club ("BKFC" or "Black Knight Football") completed the acquisition of the remaining equity of FC Lorient ("FCL) and is now the sole shareholder of FCL a French Ligue 1 football club founded in 1926 and based in Lorient, Brittany, France. This transaction allows deeper integration of FC Lorient into BKFC’s multi-club model.

Returning capital to shareholders remains a priority. We are committed to maintaining a consistent quarterly dividend and, subject to capital availability, may pursue selective and opportunistic share repurchases.

From 2024 through the date of this report, we have meaningfully returned value to our shareholders and taken actions to increase net asset value through stock repurchases, dividends, monetization of investments, internalizing the management function, strategically deploying capital, and announcing new strategic partnerships.

Actions Taken to Enhance Shareholder Value

•Since 2021 we have returned significant capital to shareholders through the repurchase of $1.1 billion of our outstanding shares through April 24, 2026, including $350.1 million of repurchases in 2025 and year-to-date 2026.

•In March 2026, we announced that our Board has authorized a new stock repurchase program, effective March 6, 2026, under which the Company may repurchase up to 10 million shares of its common stock, in addition to the shares remaining under Cannae’s prior authorizations. As of April 24, 2026, Cannae has remaining authority to repurchase 12.7 million shares and has 44.2 million shares outstanding. Based on feedback from shareholders, the Board expanded its commitment to capital returns and increased its share repurchase authorization to provide management with more flexibility to buy back shares in the short term and as the Company generates liquidity through the sale of non-core assets. The increased authorization demonstrates Cannae’s focus on maximizing shareholder value and taking action to increase Cannae’s share price.

•We initiated and subsequently increased our quarterly dividend to return additional capital to shareholders. The Company initiated a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share in May 2024, which was increased by 25% in August 2025. The dividend returns approximately $28 million per year to shareholders based on current shares outstanding and has returned approximately $60 million since its initiation.

•We took significant actions to improve our corporate governance profile, including the transition of William P. Foley to non-executive Vice Chairman and the appointment of Douglas K. Ammerman as independent Chairman of the Board, and the transformation of our board through the addition of four new independent directors and changes to the membership of our board committees to add new voices to the important discussions that take place within our committees.

•We proposed to our shareholders and, following shareholder approval with a 98.9% for vote, implemented the Declassification of our board of directors over a three-year period beginning with our 2026 Annual Meeting. All of our directors will be elected annually at our 2028 Annual Meeting.

•Transitioned from an external management structure in 2024 and terminated the structure entirely in 2025 to better align incentives with shareholders and reduce operating cost and complexity.

Strategic Deployment of Capital

•Entered into a strategic partnership with JANA Partners ("JANA"), to invest in the management company and to leverage JANA to source new investments. JANA has built a track record over its 24-year history as a leader in engaged investing and has already provided cash flows to Cannae through the investment in the management company. JANA is also expected to help Cannae source new investment opportunities. In September 2025, Cannae closed an agreement to acquire an additional 30% stake in JANA, resulting in 50% ownership by Cannae.

•Acquired a 53% stake in the Watkins Company for $80 million, including $20 million in convertible preferred equity with 8% annual dividend payments. The Watkins Company is a 157-year-old flavoring products business that is growing with strong margins and cash flows.

•Invested $86.8 million for additional equity of Black Knight Football, which owns 100% of the equity interests of Athletic Football Club Bournemouth ("AFC Bournemouth" or "AFCB"), 100% of FCL, and a majority interest in Moreirense FC. Since the acquisition of AFCB in 2022, Black Knight Football has driven a nearly 30% increase in AFC Bournemouth’s revenue; growing the club’s revenue from £141 million in its fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, to £161 million the next season and increased it by double digits again to £182 million in 2025. Notably, AFCB was included in Sportico’s annual list of the World’s 50 Most Valuable Football Clubs, at a $630 million value based on 2023/24 revenue. As of March 31, 2026, we own a 44.5% of BKFC.

Historical Value Creation

By implementing our approach of generating shareholder value through our active involvement with our acquired companies, our executive management team has created approximately $3.0 billion in realized value for Cannae and its predecessor’s shareholders through December 31, 2025, as summarized in the following table.

Our Compensation Programs are Driven by Our Business Objectives

Our compensation committee believes in a pay-for-performance compensation model that rewards our executives for the value created at our companies and returned to shareholders and incentivizes them to continue to seek to identify companies and strategic assets with attractive value propositions and structure and to operate businesses to maximize their value to the Company and our shareholders. 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. Our compensation committee takes great care to develop and refine an executive compensation program that recognizes its stewardship responsibility to our shareholders while ensuring that our talent supports a culture of growth, innovation and performance without taking undue risk.

For 2025, 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. In light of our business model, and the unpredictable and often extended periods over which we hold our businesses, traditional annual cash incentives tied to financial performance metrics and performance-based vesting provisions in equity incentive awards with fixed, one to three-year performance periods would generally not provide the incentives needed to achieve our business objectives and maximize returns to our shareholders. We aim to deliver a sound compensation program, reflecting our business model and goal of achieving superior financial performance and maximizing the value of our businesses.

•Pay for Performance. Our compensation programs are designed to incentivize management to maximize shareholder returns by aligning the financial interests of employees with the value of the Company’s equity that inure to the benefit of investors. We believe alignment with shareholders is the optimal means of paying our executives for performance given the unique structure of the Company. Our executives’ compensation actually earned upon vesting of equity awards increases as total shareholder returns increase.

•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.

•Incentive Pay Balance. Incentive compensation opportunities should reward the appropriate balance of short- and long-term financial and strategic business results. Short-term incentives should not come at the detriment of potential long-term returns. The Company pays short-term incentives based on a robust review of our executives annual performance by our Board of Directors. The Company’s compensation program is heavily weighted toward equity compensation with vesting periods designed to incentive management to maximize long-term returns to shareholders.

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

We believe it is important to deliver strong results for our shareholders, 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.


Things We Do		Things We Don't Do

✓	Retain an independent compensation consultant that reports solely to our compensation committee and does not provide our compensation committee services other than executive compensation consulting	X	No hedging and pledging transactions by our employees, executives or directors as applicable involving our securities without approval by the board

✓	Maintain robust stock ownership requirements	X	No tax gross ups or reimbursement of taxes


✓	Maintain a clawback policy for incentive-based compensation, in compliance with NYSE listing standards	X	No supermajority voting provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation

✓	Require that any dividends or dividend equivalents on equity awards are subject to the same underlying vesting requirements applicable to the awards – that is, no payment of dividends or dividend equivalents are made unless and until the award vests	X	No modified single-trigger severance arrangements for our executives – which provide severance upon a voluntary termination of employment following a change in control

✓	Undertake an annual review of compensation risk

✓	Limit perquisites

✓	Have transparent executive compensation disclosures in our annual proxy statements

✓	A policy that annual grants of restricted stock will utilize a vesting schedule of not less than three years

2025 Shareholder Engagement and Changes to Our Executive Compensation Program

At our 2025 annual meeting of shareholders held in December 2025, we held a non-binding advisory vote, also called the Say-on-Pay Vote, on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in the 2025 proxy statement. In connection with our 2025 Annual Meeting, Carronade Capital launched a campaign to elect four director nominees. At our 2025 Annual Meeting, two Carronade Capital nominees were elected. Our shareholders rejected our Say-on-Pay Proposal, with 51.6% of the votes cast against the proposal.

We regularly engage with our top shareholders to communicate with them our strategy, governance and executive compensation. We also review written comments from proxy advisory firms, advice from our independent compensation consultant and other consultants, and consider market practices at peer companies. We are committed to hearing and responding to the views of our shareholders. We report on and discuss our investor meetings with our Board or Board committees, as applicable.

During 2025, in connection with our regular engagement program, as well as the proxy contest, we engaged with numerous shareholders, including 8 of the top 10 third-party holders representing nearly 60% of shares outstanding held by outsiders at year-end, on various actions we took in 2025.

Based in part on shareholder engagement, the Cannae Board:

(a)terminated the Master Services Agreement with Trasimene, Cannae’s external manager;

(b)reduced total 2025 compensation of our named executive officers, including Mr. Foley, by $21.9 million, or 42.3%, in 2025 from 2024;

(c)reduced corporate other operating expenses (excluding Restaurant Group) by $6.8 million, or 10.2%, in 2025 compared to 2024, excluding one-time cost related to shareholder activism in 2025;

(d)aligned Cannae’s compensation structure with other public companies; and

(e)in 2025, Cannae repurchased 17 million shares of Cannae stock, at a total cost of $317.8 million.

Our Board values the input of our shareholders and considers our shareholders’ feedback as a regular part of board discussions. Cannae has engaged, and plans to continue to engage, with our shareholders to better understand our shareholders' perspectives related to our executive compensation program. In light of the December 2025 Say-on-Pay Vote results, we plan to further engage with our shareholders in advance of our 2026 annual meeting, which we expect to hold at the end of 2026.

Changes to our 2025 and 2026 Compensation Program

In 2025, Cannae aligned its compensation structure with other public companies and adopted a traditional salary, short-term cash bonus and long-term equity model. We expect total compensation for our continuing executive officers to decrease in 2026 compared to 2025, as well as we will see the run-off of multiple one-time expenses associated with Mr. Foley’s transition to non-executive Vice-Chairman, the termination process of the Management Services Agreement, and termination of our Investment Success Incentive Program ("ISIP"), as detailed below.

Total 2025 compensation of our named executive officers, including Mr. Foley during the period of 2025 when he served as Cannae's Chief Executive Officer and the subsequent period where he serves as Vice Chairman of the Board, decreased by $21.9 million, or 42%, in 2025 from 2024. This decrease was driven by (i) the change in mix of Mr. Foley's compensation related to the transition from our external management structure in 2024 and contractual payments made upon his transition from CEO to non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board in 2025, (ii) a decrease in the value of annual long-term equity incentive awards granted to Messrs. Caswell, Coy and Sadowski in 2025, and (iii) the termination of our ISIP in 2024 resulting in no payments to Messrs. Foley and Gravelle in 2025.

Total 2025 compensation of our executive officers, excluding Mr. Foley, decreased by $3.9 million, or 31%, in 2025 from 2024, attributable to (i) a decrease in the value of the long-term equity incentive awards made to Messrs. Caswell, Coy and Sadowski, (ii) no Watkins profits interest units granted to Mr. Caswell in 2025, and (iii) no ISIP bonus paid to Mr. Gravelle in 2025.

We expect total compensation for our continuing executive officers to decrease in 2026 compared to 2025 primarily due to lower long-term granted equity awards. In the first quarter of 2026, we granted 191,530 restricted stock awards and units with a grant-date value of $2.3 million to our continuing named executive officers (other than Mr. Foley) in 2026, which represents a $3.0 million, or 56%, reduction from the grant of 270,491 restricted stock awards and units with a grant date value of $5.3 million awarded in 2025.

Other Changes to our Compensation Program

We have made the following changes to our executive compensation program, in part, in response to our 2024 and 2025 shareholder engagement program as well as our previous engagement efforts.

Termination of External Manager. We are no longer externally managed. On May 12, 2025, the Management Services Agreement was terminated in its entirety as further described below.

Separation Payments to Mr. Foley. As described further below, in connection with the transition of Mr. Foley to Vice Chair and as required in the Foley Employment Agreement, Mr. Foley received a one-time lump-sum payment of $3,000,000, representing an amount equal to 300% of Mr. Foley’s annual base salary, a lump-sum payment of $14,196,000, representing an amount equal to 300% of the highest annual bonus paid to Mr. Foley in the preceding three years, and all of Mr. Foley’s outstanding but unvested equity awards were accelerated. As part of this transition, Mr. Foley (a) gave up his right to terminate his employment at Cannae in the event that a director is elected to the Cannae Board without his consent, (b) agreed to focus on Cannae’s sports and entertainment and spirits businesses, including Black Knight Football Club and Minden Mill, (c) entered into a new Directors Services Agreement for a two plus year term through Cannae’s 2027 annual shareholders meeting, and (d) agreed to not sell any of his shares in Cannae until at least January 2026. Mr. Foley also has not sold any of his shares in Cannae though the filing date of this Form 10-K/A.

Termination of ISIP. Beginning in September 2019, we limited our previous ISIP to only Dayforce. In 2024, we sold our remaining holdings of Dayforce, made our final payments under the ISIP, and terminated the ISIP program.

Discretionary Bonus Program. We replaced the ISIP with a discretionary bonus program. In light of our business model, and the unpredictable and often extended periods over which we hold our businesses, our Compensation Committee believes that traditional annual cash incentives tied to financial performance metrics would not provide the incentives needed to achieve our business objectives and maximize returns to our shareholders. We utilize short-term bonuses to ensure we provide competitive total compensation to our executives that is in line with our competitors. Short-term bonuses are generally a small percentage of our named executive officers' total compensation. As discussed above under "Business and Financial Highlights," we have made significant progress towards actions to increase shareholder value and our capital deployment program, as well as operational cost savings, all of which we considered in determining the annual bonus.

The Compensation Committee believes that the Company's executive compensation programs have appropriately aligned with our results, appropriately aligning pay and performance and enabling the Company to attract and retain talented executives within our industry.

OVERVIEW OF OUR COMPENSATION PROGRAMS

Principal Components of Compensation

We link a significant portion of our named executive officer’s total compensation to the performance of the Company and our common stock. The following chart illustrates the principal elements of the named executive officer compensation program paid by Cannae in 2025:

Category of
Compensation

Type of
Compensation

Purpose of the Compensation

Cash Compensation

Salary

For our executives who receive a base salary, it is intended to provide a level of assured, regularly paid, cash compensation.

Long-term Equity Incentives

Time-based Restricted Stock

Time-based restricted stock helps to tie our named executive officers’ long-term financial interests to the long-term financial interests of our shareholders, as well as to retain key executives through a three-year vesting period and maintain a market competitive position for total compensation.

Bonus

Cash Bonus Program

Our short-term cash bonuses are designed to incentivize and reward employees for annual performance. Short-term cash awards provide cash bonus compensation consistent with peer companies and are designed to help attract and retain employees.

Allocation of Total Compensation for 2025

The following table shows the average allocation of 2025 total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table paid by Cannae among the components of our compensation programs for Caswell, Sadowski, Coy, Gravelle and Foley:


Name	Salary	Equity Award	Bonus	Other Compensation	Total Compensation from Cannae	Performance- Based Compensation	Equity and Performance-Based Compensation
Ryan R. Caswell	15%	72%	12%	1%	100%	—%	72%
Peter T. Sadowski	9%	55%	32%	4%	100%	—%	55%
Bryan D. Coy	73%	16%	8%	3%	100%	—%	16%
Michael L. Gravelle	38%	39%	23%	—%	100%	—%	39%
William P. Foley II	1%	15%	—%	84%	100%	—%	15%

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 shareholders. Accordingly, the committee has allocated a majority of the compensation of our named executive officers to long term restricted stock awards tied to the value of the common stock of the Company.

Role of Our Manager in 2025

As discussed above, in 2025, only Mr. Foley was a member and equity holder of the Manager and had an interest in the fees paid to the Manager and received cash distributions from our Manager periodically. None of our other named executive officers were members of the Manager in 2025 and none received distributions from our Manager.

Our Manager is not obligated to pay or allocate any portion of the Management Fee or Termination Fee to Mr. Foley for his services to Cannae or otherwise. The amount of distributions by the Manager to Mr. Foley is derived by the Manager and is not within our control. See "External Management Transition" above for further details about the termination of the Management Services Agreement and related termination fees.

Compensation Information from Our Manager; Fixed and Variable Compensation. Our Manager has provided us with certain information to help to put into context the amounts paid or distributed to Mr. Foley in 2025 by our Manager in relation to the Management Fee and the Termination Fee.

Our Manager estimates the total amount paid or distributed by our Manager to Mr. Foley that was reasonably associated with his support of Cannae was $10.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2025. Such amounts represented 38.5% of the aggregate of the Management Fees and Termination Fee earned by our Manager in 2025 and a 68% decrease from the amount paid to executive officers in 2024. Of the total compensation paid to Mr. Foley by our Manager in 2025 that was reasonably associated with his support of Cannae, 100% was considered variable pay from the Manager associated with performance of Mr. Foley.

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 companies and his area of responsibility. For our named executive officers who receive base salaries, the salaries are intended to provide them with a level of assured, regularly paid cash compensation. Our compensation committee reviews 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 number of qualitative factors, including the named executive officer’s experience, knowledge, skills, level of responsibility and performance.

For 2025, our named executive officers received the following amounts in base salaries: Mr. Caswell $1,000,000, Mr. Coy $700,000, Mr. Sadowski $30,000, Mr. Gravelle $248,000, and Mr. Foley $384,615 (for the portion of 2025 during which he served). We have not increased the base salaries of our named executive officers beyond the minimums provided for in their respective employment agreements, as applicable.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

In 2025, we granted time-based restricted stock under our omnibus incentive plan to our named executive officers that vest over a three-year period. We do not attempt to time the granting of awards to any internal or external events. Our general practice is for our compensation committee to grant equity awards to directors and employees during the first quarter of each year. We also may grant awards in connection with significant new hires, promotions or changes in duties. Moreover, the Company did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Our compensation committee’s determinations are not formulaic; rather, in the context of competitive market compensation data and our stated pay philosophy, our compensation committee determines the share amounts on a subjective basis in its discretion after considering the advice of our compensation consultant and award amounts may differ among individual executive officers in any given year.

On February 26, 2025, Messrs. Caswell and Foley each received a grant of a time-based equity incentive of award in the form of 150,000 restricted stock units, and Messrs. Sadowski, Coy and Gravelle received time-based restricted stock awards of 8,965, 7,684, and 12,807 shares of common stock, respectively. On August 13, 2025, following his promotion to CEO, Mr. Caswell received a grant of a time-based equity incentive of award in the form of 100,000 restricted stock units. Each such award vests ratably with 1/3 of the award vesting annually.

Generally, the restricted stock awards granted in 2025 vest over three years so long as the executive remains employed by the Company. We believe time-based restricted stock provides strong alignment between our executives and shareholders as it aligns the value of our named executive officers’ compensation with shareholder return and provides strong incentive to retain key executives. In light of our business model, and the unpredictable and often extended periods over which we hold our businesses, traditional annual cash incentives tied to financial performance metrics and performance-based vesting provisions in equity incentive awards with fixed, one to three-year performance periods would not provide the incentives needed to achieve our business objectives and maximize returns to our shareholders. Our long-term equity incentives are designed to incentivize management to maximize shareholder returns by aligning the financial interests of employees with the value of the Company’s equity that inure to the benefit of investors. We believe alignment with shareholders is the optimal means of paying our executives for performance given the unique structure of the Company. Our executives’ compensation actually earned upon vesting of equity awards increases as total shareholder returns increase, and vice versa.

Bonus Program

Following the termination of the Company's previous ISIP in 2024, we began awarding annual cash bonuses to our named executive officers based upon the Compensation Committee’s assessment of their performance and the performance of the Company. In light of our business model, and the unpredictable and often extended periods over which we hold our businesses, traditional annual cash incentives tied to financial performance metrics would not provide the incentives needed to achieve our business objectives and maximize returns to our shareholders. We utilize short-term bonuses to ensure we provide competitive total compensation to our executives that is in line with our competitors. Short-term bonuses are generally a small percentage of our named executive officers' total compensation.

As discussed above under "Business and Financial Highlights," we have made significant progress towards actions to increase shareholder value and our capital deployment program, as well as operational cost savings, all of which we considered in determining the annual bonus.

Benefit Plans

401(k) Plan. We sponsor a defined contribution savings plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan contains a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participating employees may contribute up to statutory limits, which were generally $23,500 in 2025.

Other. Cannae provides compensation and broad-based retirement and health and welfare benefit plans in which our named executive officers and other executives and employees were entitled to participate in 2025. We did not provide pensions, deferred compensation plans, supplemental executive retirement plans or other employee benefits to our named executive officers in 2025.

Compensation as Company Designees to Portfolio Companies

From time to time our executive officers receive compensation from our portfolio companies in their roles as the Company's designees to the board of directors or other governing body of the portfolio company. In December 2024, Messrs. Foley and Caswell received a one-time award of 249,050 and 101,280 profits interest units, respectively, of Watkins for their roles as Cannae designees to its' Board of Managers, which had a grant date fair value of $1,329,927 and $540,835, respectively. The profits interest awards were not subject to any vesting conditions. The grant date fair value of $5.34 per unit was calculated in accordance with ASC 718. The amount of the profits interest award was determined by the Watkins' Board of Managers and only have economic value if the value of Watkins increases after the date of grant. See the narrative following the "Summary Compensation Table" below.

Employment Agreements and Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits

We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our executive officers. These agreements provide us and the executives with certain rights and obligations during and following a termination of employment, and in some instances, following a change in control.

We believe these agreements are necessary to protect our legitimate business interests, as well as to protect the executives in the event of certain termination events. For a discussion of the material terms of the agreements, see the narrative following "Grants of Plan-Based Awards," "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" and "Employment Agreements" below.

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 approving individual grants and awards under those plans for our executive officers.

Our compensation committee engages 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. Mercer is selected, and its fees and terms of engagement are approved, by our compensation committee. Mercer reports directly to the compensation committee, receives compensation only for services related to executive compensation issues and neither it nor any affiliated company provides any other services to us. 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 Chief Executive Officer participated in the 2025 executive compensation process by making recommendations with respect to our named executive officers’ base salaries, and 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, including our Chief Executive Officer, 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 in other talent markets 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.

Our compensation committee considered a number of important qualitative and quantitative factors in setting executive compensation including:

•The named executive officer’s experience, knowledge, skills, level of responsibility and potential to influence company performance;

•The business environment and our business objectives and strategy;

•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, annual incentives, long-term incentives, pay mix and other key statistics. The marketplace review is also instructive to our use of an external manager. 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 2025, Mercer assessed companies of similar size and industry focus to Cannae. The peer group consisting of similarly structured companies was based on a total asset range of 0.6 to 4.3 times the total assets for Cannae (which at the time was estimated to be approximately $1.3 billion).

Data disclosed by those peer companies is helpful to the compensation committee when reviewing our executive compensation. The 2025 Cannae peer groups consisted of:


Artisan Partners Asset Management	Trinity Capital	Capital Southwest
Compass Diversified	Federated Hermes	GCM Grosvenor
Hamilton Lane	Hercules Capital	Main Street Capital
StepStone Group

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 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 6,623,187 shares of our common stock, which in total is equal to 15.0% of our outstanding shares as of April 24, 2026 entitled to vote. The fact that our executives and directors hold such a large investment in our shares is part of our company culture and our director 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 maintain formal stock ownership guidelines for all corporate officers, including our named executive officers and members of our Board. 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 or director 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:


Position						Minimum Aggregated Value
Chairman						7 x annual cash retainer
CEO						3 x base salary
Officers						2 x base salary
Members of the Board						5 x annual cash retainer

As of December 31, 2025, each of our named executive officers and our non-employee directors (except for Messrs. Linehan, Royan, and Tyler and Mses. Aboelnaga and Schaible) meets or significantly exceeds these stock ownership guidelines. Pursuant to our stock ownership guidelines, these directors and officers have five years from their appointment to meet the ownership level listed above. Messrs. Royan and Tyler were appointed as directors in June 2025 and Mses. Aboelnaga and Schaible were appointed as directors in December 2025 and we would expect them to exceed the ownership thresholds in 2030. Mr. Linehan was appointed as director in September 2019. The Company did not grant equity awards to its directors by 2023 due to blackout restrictions in place at the time we would typically make such awards during the fourth quarter and expects Mr. Linehan's ownership to exceed the thresholds in 2026. Our Vice Chairman, Mr. Foley, holds shares equal to 11.3% of our common stock as of April 24, 2026.

The ownership of our directors and officers are shown in the "Security Ownership of Management and Directors" table in Item 12.

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 taking any of the following actions without obtaining approval from our board of directors: 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 Company securities in margin accounts or pledging them as collateral for loans.

Clawback Policy

Our compensation committee maintains a clawback policy that complies with the NYSE listing rules regarding recoupment of incentive compensation which became effective in 2023. The policy requires that we recover incentive-based compensation when (i) a material noncompliance with financial reporting requirements includes any required accounting restatement to

correct an error in previously issued financial statements (excluding restatements resulting from a change in accounting rules) and (ii) incentive-based compensation includes any compensation granted, earned or vested which is based solely or in part upon the attainment of a financial reporting measure, stock price or total shareholder return. No clawbacks were made in 2025.

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. While our compensation committee considers the deductibility of compensation as one factor in determining executive compensation, the compensation committee also looks at other factors in making its decisions, as noted above, and retains the flexibility to award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if the awards are not deductible for tax purposes.

Our compensation committee also considers the accounting impact when structuring and approving awards. We account for share-based payments in accordance with ASC Topic 718, which governs the appropriate accounting treatment of share-based payments under 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 that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

1.Represents the grant date fair value of time-based restricted stock awards and units granted to named executive officers, computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718, excluding forfeiture assumptions. See "Grants of Plan-Based Awards" below.

2.Reflects payouts pursuant to the Company's ISIP.

3.All Other Compensation for Mr. Caswell, Mr. Coy, and Mr. Sadowski represents matching contributions under our 401(k) plan and payment of accrued dividends upon vesting of restricted stock awards. All other compensation for Mr. Gravelle represents payment of accrued dividends upon vesting of restricted stock awards. All other compensation for Mr. Foley includes payments made upon his transition from CEO to non-executive Vice Chairman in accordance with Mr. Foley's prior employment agreement ($17.2 million), aircraft usage cost ($0.2 million), payment of accrued dividends upon vesting of restricted stock awards ($0.3 million) and director fees earned subsequent to his transition from CEO to Vice Chairman ($0.1 million). See discussion under "Employment Agreements" below for further discussion of transition payments to Mr. Foley. For Messrs. Foley and Caswell, the amounts listed for 2024 were updated to include the grant date fair value of 249,050 and 101,280 profits interests units, respectively granted by Watkins, computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718. No awards from Watkins existed in 2025, so 2025 amounts may not be comparable. As of December 31, 2025, we owned an approximate 49% interest in Watkins and account for it under the equity method.

Employment Agreements

We have entered into employment agreements with certain of our named executive officers. These agreements provide us and the executives with certain rights and obligations during and following a termination of employment, and in some instances, following a change in control.

Ryan R. Caswell

In connection with Mr. Caswell’s appointment as Cannae’s President, we entered into a new three-year employment agreement with Mr. Caswell effective as of February 26, 2024, with a provision for automatic one-year extensions each year following the effective date and continuing thereafter unless the Company provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. Mr. Caswell’s employment agreement provides for a minimum annual base salary of $1,000,000 and an initial grant of time-based equity incentive award in the form of 150,000 restricted-stock units which will vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. Mr. Caswell’s employment agreement also provides for a minimum annual grant of 150,000 restricted stock units on or prior to March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, subject to the approval of the compensation committee of the Company’s Board, each vesting in three equal annual installments beginning one year from their respective grant dates. Mr. Caswell’s employment agreement also provides for eligibility for a target annual incentive bonus of $750,000 which may be periodically reviewed and increased at the discretion of the compensation committee of the Board. The restricted stock units

granted to Mr. Caswell will contain pass-through voting rights and rights to accrued dividends (if any are declared by the Company during the vesting period) payable upon vesting of the restricted stock units.

Michael L. Gravelle

We entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Gravelle, effective as of March 18, 2024, with a provision for automatic one-year extensions each year following the effective date and continuing thereafter unless the Company provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. Mr. Gravelle’s employment agreement provides for a minimum annual salary of $248,000 and an initial grant of time-based equity incentive award with a value of $250,000 which will vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from the grant date. Mr. Gravelle’s employment agreement also provides for a minimum annual grant of $250,000 of restricted stock on or prior to March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2026, subject to the approval of the compensation committee of the Company’s Board, each vesting in three equal annual installments beginning one year from their respective grant dates. Mr. Gravelle’s employment agreement also provides for eligibility for a target annual incentive bonus of $148,000 which may be periodically reviewed and increased at the discretion of the compensation committee of the Board.

Peter T. Sadowski

We entered into a three-year employment agreement with Mr. Sadowski, effective as of March 17, 2025, with a provision for automatic one-year extensions each year following the effective date and continuing thereafter unless the Company provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. Mr. Sadowski’s employment agreement provides for a minimum annual salary of $30,000. Mr. Sadowski’s employment agreement also provides for an annual discretionary incentive bonus and participation in the Company’s equity incentive plans, as determined by the compensation committee of the Board.

William P. Foley

In connection with Mr. Foley’s appointment as Cannae’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and Chairman of the Board, we entered into a three-year Employment Agreement with Mr. Foley effective as of February 26, 2024 and as amended on March 17, 2025 (the "Foley Employment Agreement"), with a provision for automatic annual extensions each year following the effective date and continuing thereafter unless the Company provides timely notice that the term should not be extended. Pursuant to the Foley Employment Agreement, his minimum annual base salary was $1,000,000 and he received the 2024 Award. The Foley Employment Agreement also provided for a minimum annual grant of 150,000 restricted stock units on or prior to March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2026, each vesting in three equal annual installments beginning one year from their respective grant dates. The restricted stock units granted to Mr. Foley contained pass-through voting rights and rights to accrued dividends (if any are declared by the Company during the vesting period) payable upon vesting of the restricted stock units. Mr. Foley was also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

On March 17, 2025, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Foley primarily to provide that if Mr. Foley terminates his employment for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement and summarized below), the Company has agreed that it will purchase half of Mr. Foley’s shares of common stock of the Company for a price equal to the greater of (i) $19.50 per share or (ii) 20% greater than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of such termination of employment.

In connection with Mr. Foley’s transition to Vice Chairman of our Board in May 2025, the Foley Employment Agreement was replaced with a non-executive Director Services Agreement (the "Director Services Agreement"), which provides that Mr. Foley will serve as non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board for a term to continue at least until the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting. Mr. Foley will receive (1) an annual board retainer of at least $200,000, (ii) an annual equity award with a grant date fair value of at least $250,000, and (iii) a continuation of Mr. Foley’s right under the Foley Employment Agreement to receive in 2026 an equity award in the amount of 150,000 shares of time vested restricted common stock units, vesting in three equal annual installments, and (iv) certain other benefits as provided in the Director Services Agreement. In connection with the transition and as required in the Foley Employment Agreement, Mr. Foley received a lump-sum payment of $3,000,000, representing an amount equal to 300% of Mr. Foley’s annual base salary, a lump-sum payment of $14,196,000, representing an amount equal to 300% of the highest annual bonus paid to Mr. Foley in the preceding three years, and all of Mr. Foley’s outstanding but unvested equity awards were accelerated. The Director Services Agreement also provides that beginning in January 2026, Mr. Foley may sell half of his shares of common stock of the Company back to Cannae for a price equal to the greater of (i) $19.50 per share or (ii) 20% greater than the closing price of the Company’s common stock thirty days prior to the closing date of such sale.

The Foley Employment Agreement and Director Services Agreement were reviewed and approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee and Related Person Transaction Committee.

Each of the above described employment agreements and the Foley Director Services Agreement contain provisions related to the payment of benefits upon certain termination events. The details of these provisions are set forth in the "Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control" section.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

In this section, we discuss the nature and estimated value of payments we would provide to our named executive officers in the event of termination of employment or a change in control if one had occurred during 2025. The amounts described in this section reflect amounts that would have been payable under (i) our plans, and (ii) where applicable, their employment agreements if termination had occurred on December 31, 2025.

The types of termination situations include a voluntary termination by the executive with good reason, a termination by us either for cause or not for cause and termination in the event of disability or death. We also describe the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided upon a change in control without a termination of employment. The actual payments and benefits that would be provided upon a termination of employment would be based on the named executive officers’ compensation and benefit levels at the time of the termination of employment and the value of accelerated vesting of share-based awards would be dependent on the value of the underlying stock.

For each type of employment termination, the named executive officers would be entitled to benefits that are available generally to our domestic salaried employees, such as distributions under our 401(k) savings plan, certain disability benefits 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 Employment Agreements and the Foley Director Services Agreement

As discussed above, we have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Caswell Sadowski and Gravelle and into the Foley Director Services Agreement. The agreements contain provisions for the payment of severance benefits following certain termination events.

Below is a summary of the payments and benefits that the named executive officers would receive in connection with various employment or service termination scenarios if their terminations had occurred on December 31, 2025 based on their employment agreements in effect at that time. None of our named executive officers would receive payments upon a change of control without a related termination of employment.

1.An executive will be deemed to have a "disability" if he is entitled to receive long-term disability benefits under our long-term disability plan.

2.The prorated annual bonus is based on the following:

•In the event of a termination without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason, the actual incentive the named executive officer would have earned for the year of termination and the fraction of the year the executive was employed by us.

•In the event of a termination for death or disability, (a) the target annual bonus opportunity in the year in which the termination occurs or the prior year if no target annual bonus opportunity has yet been determined and (b) the fraction of the year the executive was employed.

3.The percentage for the lump sum payment for each executive is as follows: Mr. Caswell 200%, Mr. Sadowski 100% and Mr. Gravelle 100%. The bonus used for the lump-sum payment is the higher of (1) the target bonus opportunity for the year of termination or (2) the highest annual bonus paid to the executive within the preceding three years.

Definition: Cause. The definition of "Cause" in the Foley Director Services Agreement means conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty, material breach of his director services agreement, or failure to materially cooperate with or impeding an investigation authorized by the Board. The definition of "Cause" in each of Messrs. Caswell, Gravelle and Sadowski’s employment agreement means persistent failure to perform duties consistent with a commercially reasonable standard of care, willful neglect of duties, conviction of, or pleading nolo contendere to, criminal or other illegal activities involving dishonesty, material breach of their employment agreement, or failure to materially cooperate with or impeding an investigation authorized by the Board.

Definition: Good Reason. In general, the definition of "Good Reason" in each of Messrs. Foley, Caswell, Gravelle and Sadowski’s agreements means material diminution in the executive’s title; a material diminution of the executive or director’s contractual compensation; a material breach of any of our obligations under the employment agreement; or within six months immediately following a change of control: (i) a material adverse change in the executive’s status, authority or responsibility, (ii) material adverse change in the position to whom the executive or direct reports or to the executive or director’s service relationship as a result of such reporting structure change, or a material diminution in the authority, duties or responsibilities of the position to whom the executive or director reports, (iii) a material diminution in the budget over which the executive has managing authority; (iv) a relocation of the executive or director’s place of employment outside of Las Vegas, Nevada or (v) a material breach by the Company of its obligations under the agreements.

Definition: Change of Control. The definition of "Change of Control" in each of Messrs. Foley, Caswell, Gravelle and Sadowski’s agreements includes (i) an acquisition by an individual, entity or group of more than 50% of our voting power; (ii) a merger in which we are not the surviving entity, unless our shareholders immediately prior to the merger hold more than 50% of the combined voting power of the resulting corporation after the merger; (iii) a reverse merger in which we are the surviving entity but in which more than 50% of the combined voting power is transferred to persons different from those holding the securities immediately prior to such merger; (iv) during any period of two consecutive years during the employment term, a change in the majority of our board, unless the changes are approved by 2/3 of the directors then in office; (v) a sale, transfer or other disposition of our assets that have a total fair market value equal to or more than 1/3 of the total fair market value of all of our assets immediately before the sale, transfer or disposition, other than a sale, transfer or disposition to an entity (a) which immediately after the sale, transfer or disposition owns 50% of our voting stock or (b) 50% of the voting stock of which is

owned by us after the sale, transfer or disposition; or (vi) our shareholders approve a plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of our Company.

The agreements also contain provisions relating to the excess parachute payment excise tax under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. The agreements provide that if any payments or benefits to be paid to the named executive officer would be subject to the excise tax on excess parachute payments, then the executive may elect for such payments to be reduced to one dollar less than the amount that would constitute a "parachute payment" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. If the executive does not elect to have such payments reduced, the executive is responsible for payment of any excise tax resulting from such payments. None of the agreements provide for a gross-up payment for the excise tax.

Potential Payments under our Omnibus Incentive Plan

In addition to the post-termination rights and obligations set forth in the employment agreements of certain of our named executive officers, 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, 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

The table below includes the cash severance amounts that would have been payable to our named executive officers with employment agreements in the event of a termination of employment by us not for cause, a termination by the executive for good reason or a termination due to death or disability. None of our executives would have received a cash termination payment if their employment had been terminated on December 31, 2025 for cause or without good reason by the executive. Our estimate of the cash severance amounts that would be provided to each executive assumes that their employment terminated on December 31, 2025. The severance amounts do not include a prorated 2025 annual incentive bonus since the named executive officers would have been paid based on their service through the end of the year and therefore would have received the annual incentive whether or not the termination occurred.


Reason for Payment	Caswell		Sadowski		Gravelle		Foley
Termination by Company without Cause	$	3,563,671	$	130,000	$	396,000	$	50,000
Termination by Executive for Good Reason	3,563,671		130,000		396,000		50,000
Termination due to Death or Disability	3,500,000		130,000		396,000		50,000

Estimated Equity Payments upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

The table below includes the estimated values of the Cannae restricted stock awards and units held by our named executive officers that would vest in the event of a termination of employment by us not for cause, a termination by the executive for good reason, a termination due to the death or disability of the executive, or a change in control, in each case assuming such event occurred on December 31, 2025. The amounts below were determined based upon the number of unvested shares of restricted stock held by each executive as of December 31, 2025 (as set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year

End table above), multiplied by $15.73 per share, which was the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2025, the last trading day of the year. None of our named executive officers held any unvested stock options as of December 31, 2025.


Reason for Payment	Caswell		Coy		Sadowski		Gravelle		Foley
Termination without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason	$	7,987,251	$	—	$	685,195	$	330,851	$	248,284
Death or Disability	7,987,251		485,390		685,195		330,851		248,284
Change in Control	7,987,251		935,899		685,195		330,851		248,284

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Our compensation committee is currently composed of Hugh R. Harris (Chair), C. Malcolm Holland and William T. Royan. During fiscal year 2025, no member of the compensation committee was an officer or employee of Cannae or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, 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.

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

On an ongoing basis, we review the mix of our named executive officers’ cash and variable incentive compensation to ensure our compensation practices align with delivering value to our shareholders. We consider the unique structure of the Company and alter the mix of compensation provided to our officers in order to meet the changing needs of our executives, provide flexibility to the Company or in other unforeseen circumstances including changing conditions in the market or at the Company.

We believe that several design features of our executive compensation program mitigate risk. For our named executive officers who receive base salaries, these salaries are set 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 the Company’s short-term incentive program, our Compensation Committee considers the annual performance of our executives and market compensation of the Company’s peers. For our named-executive officers, cash bonuses are generally set at levels much lower than long-term equity incentive awards.

With respect to our executives’ equity compensation, we believe that our use of time-based restricted stock with three-year vesting periods provide valuable incentives to help retain key executives and align the incentives of our executives with the returns of our shareholders. We believe long-term equity awards are the ideal mechanism to reward our executives for performance given the unique structure of our business because as our long term total shareholder return increases, our executives' compensation actually earned upon vesting increases.

PEO Pay Ratio

As required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Regulation S-K of the Exchange Act, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the 2025 annual total compensation of our principal executive officer and the median of the annual total compensation of our other employees, which we refer to as the PEO pay ratio. Our PEO pay ratio information is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Caswell was the Company’s PEO as of December 31, 2025 and, in accordance with Instruction 10 of Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, his annualized compensation has been used in determining the PEO pay ratio for the Company.

As of December 31, 2023, our employee population consisted of approximately 8,000 individuals working for Cannae. The vast majority of these employees are part-time restaurant employees. The median employee is a part-time employee in our Restaurant Group and was selected as described below. The Company’s median employee compensation as calculated in the

manner described below was $43,423. The Company paid our principal executive officer, Mr. Caswell, $6,569,595 in compensation in fiscal year 2025. As a result, the ratio for 2025 was 151 to 1.

This information is being provided for compliance purposes. Neither the compensation committee nor the Manager used the pay ratio measure in making any compensation decisions.

Methodology for Determining Our Median Employee. For purposes of the pay ratio disclosure, we are required to identify a median employee based on our entire workforce, without regard to their location, compensation arrangements, or employment status (full-time versus part-time).

The median employee is determined by identifying the employee whose compensation is at the middle of the compensation of our employee population (excluding our principal executive officer). Under the pay ratio rules, we may retain the same median employee for up to three years for purposes of determining the ratio (unless the overall employee population or compensation programs change significantly). There has been no change in either our employee population or our employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact our fiscal year 2023 pay ratio disclosure.

The following outlines the methodology, material assumptions, and estimates used to determine the median employee for 2023:

Employee Population. We determined that, as of December 31, 2023, the date we selected to identify the median employee, our employee population consisted of approximately 8,000 individuals working for Cannae. The vast majority of these employees, including the median employee, are part-time restaurant employees.

Compensation Measure Used to Identify the Median Employee. To identify the median employee, we selected base salary/wages and overtime pay, plus paid incentive bonus through December 31, 2023, as the compensation measure. In identifying the median employee, we annualized the compensation of any new hires in 2023 as if they were hired at the beginning of the fiscal year, as permitted by Securities Exchange Commission rules. As all of our employees are domiciled in the United States, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the median employee.

Annual Total Compensation of Median Employee. The median of the annual total compensation of all employees (other than our principal executive officer), calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, was $43,423.

Director Compensation

In 2025, all non-employee directors received an annual cash retainer of $100,000. Effective May 9, 2025, the annual cash retainers for the Vice Chairman and Chairman of the Board were increased to $200,000 and $300,000, respectively.

The chairman of the audit committee receives an additional annual leadership supplemental retainer of $50,000 and each member of the audit committee receives an additional annual fee of $25,000 for their service on the audit committee. The chairman of the compensation committee receives an additional annual leadership supplemental annual retainer of $20,000, and each member of the compensation committee receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for their service on the committee. The chairman of the nominating and governance committee receives an additional annual leadership retainer of $15,000 and each member of the nominating and governance committee receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for their service on the committee. The chairman of the Related Person Transaction Committee receives an additional annual leadership retainer of $50,000, and each member of the Related Person Transaction Committee receives an additional annual fee of $25,000 for their service on the committee.

All annual retainers and committee fees paid to our directors for service on our Board or its committees are paid quarterly in arrears and our directors have the option to receive all or a portion of their fees in cash or Company stock.

In 2025, the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and all other non-employee directors received an award of 23,453, 15,635 and 7,818 time-based restricted shares, respectively, with a value of approximately $375,000, $250,000 and $125,000, respectively. All of these restricted stock awards were granted under our omnibus incentive plan and one-third of the award vests on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject to continued service.

On March 14, 2025, the Compensation Committee and Related Person Transaction Committee approved a change to the terms of the restricted stock awards granted to each of our non-employee directors which provides that the outstanding and unvested restricted stock awards will become immediately vested if that director is not reelected by a vote of the Company’s shareholders.

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.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors for the fiscal year December 31, 2025, except for Mr. Foley whose compensation as a non-employee director is included in the Summary Compensation Table above because he served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company until May 12, 2025.

Changes to our 2025 and 2026 Compensation Program

In 2025, Cannae aligned its compensation structure with other public companies and adopted a traditional salary, short-term cash bonus and long-term equity model.

We expect total compensation for our continuing executive officers to decrease in 2026 compared to 2025, as well as we will see the run off of multiple one-time expenses associated with Mr. Foley’s transition to non-executive chairman, the termination process of the management agreement and termination of ISIP as detailed below.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

Director Independence

The Board determined that Mona Aboelnaga Kanaan, Douglas K. Ammerman, Hugh R. Harris, C. Malcolm Holland, Mark D. Linehan, Frank R. Martire, Barry B. Moullet, William T. Royan, Cherie L. Schaible, and James B. Stallings, Jr. and Woodrow Tyler are independent under the criteria established by the NYSE and our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board also considered the additional NYSE independence considerations for compensation committee members and determined that current members Mr. Harris, Mr. Holland and Mr. Royan are independent for purposes of service on the compensation committee.

In determining independence, the Board considered all relationships that might bear on our directors’ independence from Cannae. The Board determined that Mr. Foley was not independent during 2024 and 2025 because he was our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and an employee of the Company through May 12, 2025.

In considering the independence of our independent directors, the Board considered the following factors:

•Mr. Harris owns a minority interest in Black Knight Sports and Entertainment LLC ("BKSE"), which owns the Vegas Golden Knights. Mr. Foley is the majority owner and is the Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BKSE.

•Mr. Ammerman served as a director of D&B until August 2025, is a director of FNF and FG and holds minority interests in BKSE, BKFC and Minden Mill.

•Mr. Martire is a Managing Director of entities affiliated with BGPT Catalyst LP, which has invested alongside Cannae in Computer Services, Inc., and holds a minority interest in BKSE, BKFC and Minden Mill.

The Board determined that these relationships were not of a nature that would impair the independence of the members involved.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Management Services Agreement

As discussed above, the Company, Cannae LLC, and the Manager, entered into the Management Services Agreement ("MSA") which became effective September 1, 2019 (as amended), which sets forth the terms and conditions of our relationship with our Manager. Mr. Foley was the only member of the Manager in the year ended December 31, 2025. The terms of the MSA are described above in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section under "External Management Transition."

Pursuant to the terms of the MSA, the Company pays the Manager the Management Fee and the Termination Fee. The total Management Fee and Termination Fee for the year ended December 31, 2025, from Cannae LLC to our Manager was $17.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of which a total of $16.9 million was accrued and payable as of December 31, 2025.

See section "Executive Compensation Paid By Our Manager in 2025" for further description of the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as applicable, by our Manager. The amount of distributions by the Manager in 2025 to our named executive officers who have or had an interest in the Manager is derived by the Manager and is not within our control.

In the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid $2.7 million to Trasimene for use and maintenance of its corporate aircraft.

Fidelity National Financial

William P. Foley, II, our Vice Chairman, is the non-executive Chairman of the Board of FNF. Michael L. Gravelle, our Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, serves as Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of FNF and its subsidiary FG. Peter T. Sadowski, our Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of FNF. Douglas K. Ammerman, our Chairman of the Board, is a director at FNF.

On November 17, 2017, FNF issued to Cannae a revolver note in the aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million. On May 12, 2022, FNF and Cannae amended and restated the revolver note to, among other things, limit the use of proceeds for borrowings thereunder to the repurchase of our own shares of common stock from FNF (as amended and restated, the FNF Revolver). The FNF Revolver accrued interest at one-month adjusted SOFR plus 450 basis points. On June 28, 2022, we completed the repurchase of all of our common stock previously held by FNF. On January 29, 2024, the FNF Revolver was amended to (i) reduce the borrowing capacity to $60.0 million and (ii) change the interest rate to a fixed rate of 7.0% per annum. Cannae also repaid $25.0 million of outstanding principal under the FNF Revolver in 2024, resulting in an outstanding principal balance of $59.7 million.

On March 20, 2025, the FNF Revolver was amended to (i) reduce the borrowing capacity to $47.5 million, (ii) change the interest rate to a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum, and (3) extend the maturity date to November 17, 2030 with the maturity date automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless notice of non-renewal is otherwise provided by either FNF or Cannae, in their sole discretion. In the year ended December 31, 2025, Cannae also sold real estate to FNF in exchange for a $12.2 million reduction of outstanding principal under the FNF Revolver. As of December 31, 2025, there was a $47.5 million outstanding principal balance under the FNF Revolver which incurred interest at 5.0%. In the year ended December 31, 2025, we incurred $2.8 million of interest expense with FNF under the FNF Revolver.

We are party to a corporate services agreement ("CSA") with FNF in which we pay for certain back-office support such as legal, insurance administration, information technology support, treasury management and other services. These services are provided at a rate of FNF's cost plus ten percent, which we believe are the same or lower than what Cannae could obtain in the open market from a third-party vendor. In the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid FNF $0.3 million under the CSA.

In the year ended December 31, 2025, we paid FNF $0.8 million for leased office space and use of its corporate aircraft.

Black Knight Football

In the year ended December 31, 2025, we invested $50.0 million in BKFC. BKFC used the proceeds from investments from Cannae and others to further invest in its infrastructure and clubs. Mr. Foley is the general partner of, and holds an approximately 24% economic interest in, BKFC.

Minden Mill

In the year ended December 31, 2025, we invested $5.0 million (including paid in kind interest) in debt of Minden Mill, bringing the total balance to $9.5 million at December 31, 2025. Minden Mill, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns and operates an estate distillery and related hospitality venues. Entities affiliated with Mr. Foley are the general partner of Minden Mill and manage all aspects of its operation.

Board Approval

Our Audit Committee and Related Person Transaction Committee reviewed and approved each of the transactions described above in accordance with the terms of our Code of Conduct or the Related Person Transaction Policy, as applicable, which are described below. Our Board approved the Management Services Agreement.

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 were 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 purchase or sell.

According to our Related Person Transaction Policy, our Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel, together with the Chair of the Related Person Transaction Committee, 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 Legal Officer or General Counsel are 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 Legal Officer or General Counsel. Our Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel 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, our Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel 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. If it is determined that a proposed transaction could be a Related Person Transaction, the Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel will report the transaction, along with a summary of the material facts, to the full Related Person Transaction Committee for review and approval or ratification.

With respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, our codes of ethics require that each such officer:

•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 SEC 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 section. 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.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The audit committee has appointed Grant Thornton to audit the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the 2025 fiscal year. Previously, Deloitte had acted as our independent registered public accounting firm from January 2017 to May 2025.

We were billed the following fees for services rendered to us by Grant Thornton during or in connection with our year ended December 31, 2025 and by Deloitte during or in connection with our year ended December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Tax Fees. Tax fees 2024 consisted principally of fees for tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice.

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 Grant Thornton and 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 independent registered public accounting firm 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.
