Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In light of limited borrowing capacity under the facility related to current trading levels of Alight, Inc. stock, and to eliminate approximately $0.4 million of annual commitment fees, on March 6, 2026, Cannae Funding A, LLC ("Cannae Funding A"), an indirect wholly owned special purpose subsidiary of Cannae Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), prepaid in full all outstanding obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2020 (as amended, the "Margin Loan Agreement"), among Cannae Funding A, as borrower, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and calculation agent, and the lenders party thereto. In connection with the prepayment, Cannae Funding A and Bank of America, N.A. executed a pay-off letter (the "Pay-Off Letter") confirming the termination of the Margin Loan Agreement and all related loan documentation.

The Margin Loan Agreement was originally entered into on November 30, 2020 and was subsequently amended on August 16, 2021, December 10, 2021, January 19, 2022, May 12, 2022, June 16, 2023, August 17, 2023, March 4, 2024 and August 27, 2025. The Margin Loan Agreement, as amended, provided for revolving borrowings of up to $50.0 million, was secured by 40,477,062 shares of Alight, Inc. common stock held in a collateral account, and had scheduled maturity of August 27, 2028.

There were no outstanding principal or interest advances under the Margin Loan Agreement as of the pay-off date, and the termination does not materially impact liquidity. The aggregate pay-off amount of $58,681 required to satisfy all outstanding obligations under the Margin Loan Agreement as of March 6, 2026, consisted solely of accrued and unpaid commitment fees.

Pursuant to the Pay-Off Letter, (i) all obligations of the parties under the Margin Loan Agreement and related documentation have been discharged, terminated, cancelled and extinguished (other than those provisions that expressly survive termination), (ii) all liens granted pursuant to the Margin Loan Agreement have been automatically, irrevocably and immediately terminated (subject to the continued effectiveness of the related control agreement until the release and re-registration of pledged shares), and (iii) Bank of America, N.A. will deliver to Cannae Funding A any remaining collateral held in the collateral account, including any shares of Alight, Inc. common stock pledged thereunder, to be re-registered in the name of Cannae Funding A or its affiliate.

FAQ

What did Cannae Holdings (CNNE) change about its margin loan facility?

Cannae Holdings, through subsidiary Cannae Funding A, LLC, fully terminated its margin loan agreement secured by Alight, Inc. shares. The facility previously allowed revolving borrowings up to $50.0 million, but is now cancelled under a March 6, 2026 payoff and termination letter.

How much did Cannae Holdings (CNNE) pay to close the margin loan?

Cannae Funding A paid an aggregate $58,681 to satisfy all remaining obligations under the margin loan. This amount consisted solely of accrued and unpaid commitment fees, with no outstanding principal or interest advances at the time of payoff on March 6, 2026.

What collateral secured Cannae’s terminated margin loan related to Alight, Inc.?

The margin loan had been secured by 40,477,062 shares of Alight, Inc. common stock held in a collateral account. Following termination, Bank of America will return any remaining collateral, including pledged Alight shares, to be re-registered in the name of Cannae Funding A or its affiliate.

Does terminating the margin loan affect Cannae Holdings’ liquidity position?

Cannae states that ending the margin loan does not materially impact liquidity. There were no principal or interest borrowings outstanding at payoff, and the transaction mainly removes ongoing commitment fees while releasing pledged Alight, Inc. shares from the collateral arrangement with Bank of America.

What annual costs does Cannae Holdings (CNNE) avoid by ending the margin loan?

By terminating the margin loan facility, Cannae eliminates approximately $0.4 million of annual commitment fees. These fees were tied to an underutilized borrowing capacity that had become limited by current trading levels of Alight, Inc. stock securing the revolver.

When was Cannae’s margin loan originally scheduled to mature?

The amended margin loan agreement was scheduled to mature on August 27, 2028. Instead of keeping the facility outstanding to that date, Cannae Funding A chose to prepay remaining obligations and terminate the agreement and related documents effective March 6, 2026.
