Cannae Holdings, Inc. Announces Increase in Share Repurchase Authorization, Expanding its Commitment to Returning Capital to Shareholders

~ Cannae Increases Share Buyback Authorization to 14.9 Million Shares ~

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cannae Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CNNE) (“Cannae” or the “Company”) today announced that its Board of Directors 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 4.9 million shares remaining under Cannae’s prior authorizations, for an aggregate share buyback authorization of 14.9 million shares. The Company has 46.4 million shares outstanding.

The Board continues to be unsatisfied with Cannae’s current share price and believes that it does not reflect the intrinsic value of the Company’s assets or the long-term potential of the platform. Based on feedback from shareholders, the Board is expanding its commitment to capital returns and increasing 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.

Buybacks may be made from time to time in the open market at prevailing prices and in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares over any particular time period and may be suspended or terminated at any time.
