Entwistle & Cappucci LLP Files Securities Class Action Against Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. and Related Defendants

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Entwistle & Cappucci LLP today announced that its ongoing investigation has led to the filing of a class action against Dun & Bradstreet Holdings, Inc. (“D&B” or the “Company”), certain of D&B’s directors and officers, including Executive Chairman William P. Foley II (“Foley”), Anthony M. Jabbour, Thomas M. Hagerty and Douglas K. Ammerman, as well as Cannae Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”), on behalf of a class (the “Class”), consisting of all persons or entities that: (a) sold shares of D&B common stock in the open market during the period from May 13, 2025 through August 26, 2025; (b) exchanged shares of D&B common stock into the August 26, 2025 merger of D&B with affiliates of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. for $9.15 per share in cash (the “Merger”); and/or (c) held shares of D&B common stock as of the May 9, 2025 Record Date for the special meeting of stockholders and whose shares were voted on, or entitled to vote on, the Merger.

The action seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors that were damaged as a result of allegedly false and misleading statements and omissions of material facts in D&B’s March 23, 2025 announcement of the Merger and the May 13, 2025 definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy”). Among other things, the complaint alleges the Proxy and other solicitation materials misled investors regarding the true value of the Company and the subject transaction, including portraying the Merger as the product of an ordinary-course strategic review and organic arm’s-length interest in D&B, while omitting Executive Chairman Foley’s personal interest in a quick sale. The complaint also alleges the Proxy omitted Bank of America Securities’ valuations of superior alternatives to a whole-company sale, misstated that D&B’s Board of Directors had approved downward revisions to the Company’s financial projections and failed to disclose long-standing, material ties between Foley and D&B’s financial and legal advisors.

The action was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and is captioned: FNY Partners Fund LP, et al. v. Ammerman, et al., No. 1:26-cv-26258-CMA. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b), 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rules 10b-5 and 14a-9 promulgated thereunder.

If you wish to serve as a lead plaintiff in this matter, you must file a motion with the Court no later than November 10, 2026. Any member of the proposed Class may move the Court to serve as a lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice or may choose to do nothing and remain a member of the Class.
